2024.06.10 12:37 CAPFIG Some worldbuilding stuff. The great wastes and Stilt cities (Haven't done really any drawings or maps yet, it's just writing).
If you have any questions then ask in the comments. I'd be very happy to elaborate on any details if I can :). One aspect missing here is wildlife which I haven't fully thought out yet.
The great wastes:
The great wastes are a vast desert that takes up the majority of the northern regions. Due to how unbelievably dry this area is, little to no clouds form and thus it is incredibly hard to use airships to travel above the wastes and thus the stilt travellers were constructed. The great wastes are made of two main layers, the upper and lower layers. The upper layer is an incredibly thick layer of sand, sandstone and other light minerals. This makes the upper layers very fragile and barely able to support any heavy weight. Building large or even small buildings on the wastes will quite quickly lead to them causing the fragile upper layer above them to collapse and for them to fall into the unforgiving depths of the lower layers. The lower layers are cmuch more dense, made of hard volcanic rock covered by a much thicker blend of sand and 1`1other minerals, many being rather reactive to certain conditions. The lower layer and upper layer are separated by a vast underground cave network, with truly monumentally large caverns that stretch for many miles, in some they are so unfathomably large that you could travel for days and not reach an edge. The upper layer is supported by many tree trunk like columns made of a mix of sand covering pillars of what is presumed to be denser tougher rocks that litter the lower layer. Surprisingly, it’s not completely dark down here in these caverns. Due to how fragile the upper layer is, parts of the upper layer occasionally collapse leaving ‘small’ (relatively speaking) holes where sunlight is let through. The wastes cover a massive volcanic area which is where the lower volcanic rock base of the lower layer comes from. The sandy cover that lies on top of this volcanic layer is a mix between sand from the top layer and many materials that can violently react with the ultraviolet light from the sun, slowly melting the volcanic rock from below, thus allowing for new molten rock to escape out of the newly produced hole in the lower layer. This molten rock builds up overtime, somewhat fusing and collecting the sand from the lower layer around it to form a new supporting trunk of the upper layer. With enough trunks forming close enough together, they form larger support structures possibly splitting larger caverns into two.
Stilt travellers and stilt cities:
Originally, small mining outposts were set up near the safer, more stable edges of the wastes as bases of operations to collect the rich minerals found in the sand of the bottom layer of the wastes. These bases would often expand into wealthy towns, however their greed would almost always get the better of them and they would starve the nearby caverns of any riches and would kill their economy through their own greed often leading to many of these towns to be abandoned, sitting empty, gathering dust or slowly being covered up by the sand. In solution to the dwindling resources round the edge of the wastes, the stilt travellers were constructed. Stilt travellers, or waste walkers as they were commonly referred to, were absolutely gargantuan machines made up of a huge platform with a central "capital tower" which was used for command of the traveller and also was housing for the main power generator for these grand machines. This platform was supported by a large number of at least 10 stilts for the smaller walkers, to upwards of 50 or more for the larger ones. These stilts pierce the upper layer of the wastes and use the much denser and more stable lower layer for support. Each stilt can take an exceptionally long time to move, as to not collapse sections of the upper layer. There are multiple reasons behind this, firstly collapsed parts of the upper layer make it more difficult to collect the minerals on the lower layer, and secondly, the more sunlight that reaches the bottom the more chemicals react with the UV light and slowly melt through either the stilts themselves, or more likely the volcanic rock of the lower layer and possibly cause rather extreme reactions and possible volcanic based accidents. Most stilts are also roughly the same size, different sized walkers instead having either more or less instead of larger or smaller stilts, this is because if the average size of the stilts is the perfect size as to not collapse and still be able to pierce the upper layer while still keeping enough strength to support the walker.
A lot of walkers have been and still are used as pirate vessels, still used for resource gathering, but in a different manner. Often stripped of their mining equipment and replaced with gun platforms and airship docks, these walkers would generally send out airships as scout craft to locate and/or attack and rob other walkers of mainly food and water, but also minerals and other riches the walker had collected. These pirate walkers were titled ‘Baydan rigs’ after probably the most infamous, powerful and ruthless captains of a pirate walker, the Sami-Elf captain, Reesimear Baydan. Him, his Baydan rig, the 'iminent damnation', and his crew were personally responsible for the destruction of 23 other stilt walkers and the robbing of countless others, his most famous, also however his last attack being upon the stilt city of ‘Gralence’. His attack heavily crippled Gralence however he was killed during a daring assault upon the capital tower while in a duel with the famed General Paul Ideseah. His Baydan rig was stripped for anything useful and used as a ‘burial ground’ for his crew, who were tied to poles in the middle of the skeleton of the walker and left to starve and boil under the glaring sun. His corpse was then beheaded, tied up and hung under the grand capital tower. After his flesh and organs rotted away his remains were moved into the Gralence museum, along with his armour, clothes and weapons. His helmet however was repurposed as a pauldron worn by Paul Ideseah till his passing.
Stilt Cities are what came from the stilt travellers staying out on the wastes for so long, slowly becoming much more than just mobile mining platforms. Expanding the travellers size, adding more stilts, adding to the services of the traveller I:e: more airship landing pads, shops, more permanent housing, etc… etc…, and oftentimes two or more stilt travellers would join together to make one larger stilt traveller. These modifications and expansions These stilt cities would slowly grow, becoming a hub of trade, mining, sometimes even tourism in the grandest stilt cities. The largest stilt cities, some of the most notable being ‘Gralence’ as mentioned above, ‘Zurat’ or ‘Teskart’, can reach such ridiculous sizes that even from the centre of the city the edges almost slip over the horizon.
While it is a rare sight, untampered stilt travellers still only built for mining can be found in the wastes if only very rarely, still these “normal” stilt travellers are often not far from a larger stilt city that use them as a satellite walker for easier, more specialised mining.
While the stilt cities are almost always incredibly rich on minerals and industrial resources but are incredibly lacking in stuff like water and food, mostly at least. Thus Stilt cities almost always solely live off of trade. Some of the larger cities are able to produce a minimal amount of food or collect enough water that they are able to self sustain themselves for a very limited time, but the wastes are dry and harsh environments and it is incredibly hard to sustain any food source for an extended period of time without outside assistance. Thus stilt cities rely on trade and travellers, mainly by airship, from the southern lands to supply them with food and water they need to survive. Often smaller stilt cities will be subject to a large amount of illegal trafficking with gangs and other criminal organisations from the south out of desperation for food or other needs. Larger stilt cities, while certainly NOT immune to this corruption, can survive relatively safely off of their own strong economic and social influence.

2024.06.10 12:35 RESSl Bown discharge after taking azithromycin for chlamydia
A little over a month ago I tested positive for chlamydia. Thankfully I was having symptoms (bladder pressure, burning, bleeding) I took 1000 G azithromycin and then took 5 days of doxycycline just to be safe. At the time of my testing I also tested positive for BV. I have had recurrent BV for years (5+) but have never take any antibiotics for it just suppositories which have kept it at bay. I was prescribed flagyl (oral) and about half way through my full dose started to get brown discharge. I was told this was normal and it would go away - it didn’t. I proceeded to have brown discharge for weeks which then eventually turned into whole pieces of clots and tissue accompanied by the brown discharge. Had my period, figured that would flush out any reminents - it didn’t. Once the period was over like clockwork the tissue, coffee grind like discharge was back. It would fluctuate between heavy and light and one week it fully went away and I finally had white discharge again. That lasted about 4 days went to the bathroom and had blood in my underwear and for a week now I have dealt with daily brown stuff. I wouldn’t even call it discharge as there’s clots coming out of me but they’re nearly black in color. And there’s tissue in the mix as well always. What could this be? I’ve never had any issues like this prior to having chlamydia / treating my BV. Anyone go through something similar?!

2024.06.10 12:35 Outrageous_Bag3324 24 F, Living with emotionally unavailable parents
I have a decent relationship with my parents as every brown kid, i have had moments of laughter fun gossip with them, but i never had any emotional moment with them. I remember when i was in high school, for a long period of time I used to be sad, i used to cry a lot and sometimes my mom would find me crying in my room but she would never ask me why was i crying, what happened… nothing, she would just do whatever work she had and would leave and i would think to myself, can’t she see that her daughter looks sad, cant she come to me and just ask once what’s going on? (And i am the person who can’t hide her emotions, it will be easily visible on my face). Once my friends mom came to visit my place and she also told my friend that “your friend looked sad, talk to her”, so if her mom can understand just by looking at me for a few minutes, why can’t my mom?! This was few years back, after that i moved out of my house for college and all, so I didn’t think about it. Today it happened again, i had a small argument with my mom and then came to my room but immediately after that i was on call with my bf and i had an argument with him as well and i was crying, after sometime when i had cut the call, i had tears in my eyes, i could hear her coming and i thought to myself that if she asks me why does it look that i have cried i will just tell her bcs of that argument we had but she never asked, she kept the breakfast and left and she clearly saw me. I mean i don’t understand? Doesn’t she feel the need to ask why her kid is emotional? I don’t think i will ever do that to my kids or even a stranger. This kind of affects me, how do i deal with it? (I don’t want to talk to her, she will never understand)

2024.06.10 12:30 pi0n55 Was that test reliable?
I wanted to ask, this happened a month ago and i just wanted to be sure, i was delayed for almost a week then got some brown discharge then some bleeding, but i still was anxious (although it was protected) so i decided to take the PT, actually i’ve taken a PT too early one before the period and it was negative. Anyway this time i did the morning sample but accidentally peed some on the window but most was on the tip and it came out negative. Was that test reliable?, currently a day late now and was overthinking whether that test was correct since if it was a false negative i would be on my 8th week now and would have a slim chance for an MA since it is prohibited in my country (PH)

2024.06.10 12:11 cybergrlll anyone else’s period like this?
so as i’ve gotten older (i’m 22) my period does this thing where the first 1-5 days i’m barely bleeding, and it’s mostly just brown looking blood that’s kind of a paste consistency and i have hardly any cramps, and then what i like to call my actual period starts and it’s normal bleeding for like 5-7 days with normal cramping and stuff. anyone else experience this? it causes my whole “period” length to be about 10 days. but the first couple days where i’m like barely bleeding doesn’t even feel like a period.

2024.06.10 12:03 lolfreng STD and bleeding
An STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) is a communicable infection that is spread through sexual contact with someone who has the disease. STDs are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. They can be passed from person to person during sex, either through vaginal intercourse, anal sex, oral sex, or skin-to-skin contact.
Lets discuss STDs that cause bleeding and see what types of treatment options are available if you find yourself experiencing these symptoms.
Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are among the most common STDs that can cause vaginal bleeding in women. Chlamydia is often asymptomatic, meaning that many people don’t know they have it. Symptoms of chlamydia can include a pus-like yellow discharge from the vagina, pain or burning sensation when urinating, and pain in the belly or lower back. In addition to these symptoms, chlamydia can cause inflammation, leading to bleeding between periods. This bleeding can range from light to modestly heavy.
Gonorrhea symptoms include thick, cloudy, or bloody discharge from the penis or vagina and pain or burning sensation when urinating. Other signs that you may have an STD include nausea or a low-grade fever and bleeding between your periods or after vaginal sex.
If left untreated, both chlamydia and gonorrhea symptoms can lead to more severe health complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID is an infection of the reproductive organs which can cause abdominal pain, fever, painful intercourse, irregular menstrual cycles, and abnormal vaginal discharge. It can also cause infertility if left untreated for too long.
It’s important to get tested for STDs if you experience any of these symptoms so you can get treated immediately before any further damage is done to your reproductive system.

What are the differences between ErgoChair Pro V1 and ErgoChair Pro V2?
1. Seat Rest: Superior Comfort with 100% Mesh Design
Remember that we will open some GAs for this Pro V2 soon so please stay tuned. We will definitely share more pics in all of our communities and social channels. If you’re ready to experience a new level of comfort, stability, and ergonomic support, saying yes to the ErgoChair Pro V2 is a decision you won’t regret. Thank you and have a great one gang!

Here are a bit of the details for the Pro V2 I would love to share:
What are the differences between ErgoChair Pro V1 and ErgoChair Pro V2?
1. Seat Rest: Superior Comfort with 100% Mesh Design
- I have been listening to all the feedback on social media hearing people love the feeling when sitting on the mesh seat so we have developed the Pro V2 to better satisfy our customers. The new seat rest is crafted from 100% high-quality mesh, a material known for its exceptional breathability and comfort. This innovative design ensures that air circulates freely, preventing heat build-up and eliminating the discomfort of a sweaty back during long hours of sitting.
- Mesh, due to its flexibility, can conform to body contours and distribute pressure more evenly across a larger area, potentially reducing the risk of pressure points. This advantage is crucial for prolonged sitting periods. Fabric, especially when combined with thick padding, can provide more cushioning but may not conform as well to body contours, leading to higher pressure values concentrated on specific areas. However, high-quality ergonomic chairs, whether mesh or fabric, often incorporate strategically placed padding and contoured designs to address pressure points effectively.
- We listened to feedback from users and made significant improvements to the armrests, so no more 3D or 4D armrests. The new materials used in the ErgoChair Pro V2’s armrests eliminate the previously rattly feel, providing a more stable and secure experience. Additionally, the armrests now feature 6D control, allowing you to adjust their height, depth, width, angle, and pivot with precision. This level of customization ensures that you can find the perfect ergonomic position to reduce strain on your arms and shoulders, enhancing overall comfort and productivity. One thing, this is also very challenging since you might have seen all the 6D armrests out there in the market, but we’re built differently and we’re the innovators so our changes would be unique!
- I will do another post on this 6D armrest mechanism for anyone who loves to learn about our product and design ideas :D
- The base is very important as well to support you with steady and durability. We’ve replaced the plastic base with a sturdy aluminum construction. The plastic one may offer a good look with your workspace setup but it might get damaged over time (no worries we still have a warranty). This upgrade significantly enhances the chair’s durability and reliability, providing a solid foundation that can withstand the rigors of daily use. The aluminum base not only improves the chair's longevity but also adds a sleek, modern look to its design. You can count on this chair will remain a steadfast companion in your workspace for years to come. So then why not replace the plastic base with the aluminum one?
- More thoughts coming in the next post since the research about the difference between aluminum and plastic base is a bit long :)
- Seat Rest: Crafted from 100% high-quality mesh, providing exceptional breathability and comfort, preventing heat build-up, and eliminating sweaty backs.
- Arm Rest: Upgraded to eliminate rattly feel, featuring 6D adjustability (height, depth, width, angle, pivot) for maximum ergonomic support, reducing arm and shoulder strain.
- Base: Replaced plastic with durable aluminum, enhancing stability, reliability, and longevity, while adding a sleek and modern look.
Remember that we will open some GAs for this Pro V2 soon so please stay tuned. We will definitely share more pics in all of our communities and social channels. If you’re ready to experience a new level of comfort, stability, and ergonomic support, saying yes to the ErgoChair Pro V2 is a decision you won’t regret. Thank you and have a great one gang!

In this article, we'll be diving into the unique features, design, and performance of these knives, giving you a comprehensive overview of why they're worth considering. So sit back, relax, and let us take you on a journey through the world of Fury Knives! The Top 10 Best Fury Knives
Reviews🔗Cold Steel Recon Tanto SK-5 Biker Knife with Secure-Ex Sheathhttps://preview.redd.it/ni1iqlrynp5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=015b25ef7d99474b60cd7505f9fb516b29d690ea I recently tried the Cold Steel Recon Tanto SK-5, and I must say, I was truly impressed by this knife. The blade material, SK-5 carbon stainless steel, provided a smooth cut and the razor-sharp edge was exceptional. The handle, made of Kraton, was both comfortable and grippy in my hand. One of the standout features of this knife was its balance. It felt well-proportioned and easy to maneuver, making it a great choice for various tasks, from camping to self-defense. The blade thickness of 5mm added an extra layer of confidence when performing deeper cuts. While the blade material is rust-resistant, the black Tuff-Ex finish on the blade did scratch off quite easily. However, this did not affect the knife's performance or durability. The weight of the knife, at 250 grams, made it a suitable everyday carry, providing a mix of portability and power. Overall, the Cold Steel Recon Tanto SK-5 is a high-quality knife with a durable design and a smooth, sharp edge. It's an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable and versatile fixed blade for their everyday needs or even the most challenging outdoor situations. 🔗Dependable Tanto SAS Knife with Polypropylene Handlehttps://preview.redd.it/rnhvos7znp5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1999019edea108341e37c24c7bcaab11366e4ca8 The Cold Steel GI Tanto 80PGTK is a versatile, well-rounded tactical knife that has become a staple for many outdoor enthusiasts and survivalists. Its broad blade and integrated guard design provide a solid grip, while the Polypropylene handle scales offer a comfortable and durable hold. I've had the pleasure of using this knife in various situations, from camping trips to survival drills, and it has never let me down. The 1055 carbon steel ensures a strong, rugged construction that holds up well against rust and harsh conditions. The spring-tempered steel provides an excellent balance between strength and flexibility, allowing the blade to withstand the most demanding tasks without compromising its performance. One of the standout features of the GI Tanto is its versatility - it can be easily converted into a spear in a pinch, simply by removing the handle scales and attaching the blade to a suitable wooden shaft. This adaptability makes it an invaluable addition to any survival kit or bug-out bag. However, no product is without its drawbacks, and the GI Tanto is no exception. While its sturdy construction ensures a long lifespan, handling it for extended periods can be tiring due to its substantial weight. Additionally, the knife's size makes it less practical for everyday carry or more discreet situations. Price-wise, the GI Tanto is a steal, offering a fantastic value for its quality and features. It's affordable enough to stock up on multiple copies for personal use or as gifts for friends and family. In summary, the Cold Steel GI Tanto 80PGTK is a robust, versatile, and dependable tactical knife that has earned its reputation among outdoor enthusiasts and survivalists alike. Its few drawbacks are outweighed by its numerous benefits, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a durable and versatile blade for their adventures. 🔗Buck 303 with Micarta Handle and Satin Finishhttps://preview.redd.it/69enowqznp5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63c4a1b526040fc8fdd037e10e573b9cf0ac640e Recently, I had the chance to test the Buck 303 Selkirk Knife - an impressive survival knife designed to cater to various situations in the great outdoors. This versatile knife has proven itself efficient and reliable in my outdoor excursions. One of the standout features of the Selkirk Knife is its handle, which is made of a high-quality micarta material. It provides an excellent grip, even when my hands get wet or muddy. The 420HC steel blade is also a significant asset, as it holds up well under all types of conditions - slicing branches, skinning game, and preparing dinner. The blade's satin finish adds to its aesthetic appeal as well. This knife comes fitted with a sturdy belt sheath that can be configured for either horizontal or vertical carry. I appreciate this functionality because I can quickly access the knife when I need it most. Moreover, the fire startewhistle tool included with the sheath is a handy addition for unexpected situations in the wild. However, while the Selkirk Knife excels in most areas, I found that it's slightly heavier than other knives I've used. As someone who carries a knife regularly, this extra weight can be noticed after a while. But considering the knife's robustness and superior blade quality, I believe the weight is a small price to pay. Overall, my experience with the Buck 303 Selkirk Knife has been incredibly positive. It's a valuable tool for those who enjoy outdoor activities or need a dependable knife for everyday use. While there are a few minor drawbacks, the Selkirk Knife ultimately proves itself a high-quality, versatile, and durable option that I wholeheartedly recommend. 🔗Versatile Rescue Knife with Adjustable Sheathhttps://preview.redd.it/obmg3h80op5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e79f2a0b8fcd457c6a661e46d45eb0c5ad3ec7ca The SOG Pentagon FX Blackout is a robust, versatile, and reliable knife that delivers top-notch performance in various situations. It stands out with its double-edge CYRO S35VN full-tang steel blade, which ensures durability and razor-sharp edges. The knife's handle is made from G10, providing a comfortable and secure grip that is easy to manipulate, even when wearing gloves. The black titanium nitride finish adds a sleek and sophisticated touch to the knife's appearance. One aspect that I particularly appreciate is the knife's compatibility with the SOG Universal Mounting System, allowing for a flexible mission-specific setup. The sheath system is also adaptable, enabling users to adjust the retention strength, secondary retention, mounting angle, and method as needed. The no-tool sheath adjustment further enhances the knife's convenience and ease of use. However, there are a couple of minor drawbacks. Some users might find the knife's overall length and handle size to be a bit large for certain applications. Additionally, the included belt clips might not be the most durable or user-friendly option, which could be improved upon. Despite these minor drawbacks, the SOG Pentagon FX Blackout is an exceptional knife that offers exceptional performance, versatility, and customization options. Its superior quality and attention to detail make it a valuable addition to any toolkit or survival kit. 🔗San MAI Recon Tanto Sas Knife - High-Quality VG-10 Stainless Steel Blade with Kray-Ex Handlehttps://preview.redd.it/nufmd2t0op5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f629bd1cc75ef646b9c12d39af431f51f3319bc1 I've been using the Cold Steel San MAI Recon Tanto as my daily pocket knife for the past few months, and I must say, it's a fantastic blade. The handle is made of Black Kray-Ex, providing a solid grip with no rolling or twisting in the hand, even under heavy use. The knife measures 11.75 inches overall, with a blade length of 17.9 cm, making it perfect for various tasks. One of the most impressive features of this Tanto is its blade, made of VG-10 San Mai Stainless Steel. The deep lustrous satin finish on the hollow ground blade bevels and the contrasting line grain finish on the blade flats emphasize the knife's unique appearance. The blade is razor sharp, and I haven't needed much maintenance, even after some heavy use. Although it's not a "do-it-all" knife, the Cold Steel San MAI Recon Tanto is a great medium-sized Tanto. It's been through some rough use, and I'm glad to say it held up well. The knife comes with a thick, high-quality Secure-Ex sheath that has given me years of hard service, keeping my Tanto at my side. Overall, I highly recommend the Cold Steel San MAI Recon Tanto for its cutting capability, durability, and affordable price. 🔗Handcrafted Indigenous Puukko Knife with Walnut Handlehttps://preview.redd.it/9d6oj231op5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6c09a935649e1bc11bd221b19342dd9be24c0a0 The Condor Mini Indigenous Puukko Knife is a versatile and beautifully designed piece that I've grown fond of using in my daily life. Its walnut wood handle, intricately etched with Polynesian and Sami designs, perfectly compliments its hard 1095 high carbon steel blade, all while providing a comfortable and secure grip. This knife has proven to be a handy addition to my camping and outdoor adventures, making it a valuable companion for all sorts of tasks. However, it does need to be kept clean and dry, since moisture can cause the blade to corrode over time. Nonetheless, this knife's elegant design, combined with its functionality, makes it a truly remarkable piece to use and display. 🔗Stylish Fury Knives HR0070 Fixed Blade Deer Stag Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/83wtird1op5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09fd39fb7ec2be31c1a5025f6cf955d4662bbcee I recently stumbled upon a Fury Knives product named "HR0070" and decided to give it a spin. The first thing that caught my eye was its striking deer stag handle, complemented by the sleek satin finish stainless guthook blade. Carrying this beauty in the brown leather belt sheath, it exudes a sense of quality. However, while it may look fancy, it's the full tang that makes this knife truly stand out, providing extra durability for your hunting escapades. The brass guard ensures a sturdy grip, even when the going gets tough. But it's not just functionality that this product delivers. It's a stylish addition to any tool collection, with that distinct Fury Knives touch to its style. And it's surprisingly affordable too – a real bargain for a premium hunting knife. The only downside? The size. A bit too long for covert use in most cases, and it may be a bit too heavy for regular everyday use. Despite that, it has become my trusted companion in the great outdoors. If you're looking for a reliable hunting knife that also adds a touch of elegance to your collection, the Fury Knives "HR0070" is definitely worth considering. 🔗Cold Steel FGX Cat Tanto: Sleek and Impervious Serrated Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/63dymgq1op5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93ca2bbd2f971c328b928931ef641c3afbf7eb2b I remember the day I brought home my Cold Steel FGX Cat Tanto. The sleek black design and the promise of a lightweight yet durable knife piqued my curiosity. It was a perfect addition to my collection of self-defense tools, for those moments when you need to protect yourself and your loved ones. The handle, made of Kraton, felt great in my hand, with its solid grip that remained unaffected by temperature and moisture. It was a great contrast to the Grivory blade finish, which made the knife look even more menacing. I loved how the tanto point blade shape gave a perfect balance between sharpness and durability. However, it wasn't all roses. The Cold Steel FGX Cat Tanto felt a bit underwhelming when it came to cutting tasks. Its plastic blade just didn't have the same edge retention as a traditional steel blade, making it not ideal for more demanding tasks like cutting through thick materials. Still, for the price and as a lightweight and corrosion-resistant self-defense tool, the Cold Steel FGX Cat Tanto has proven to be quite the handy piece. It's a unique addition to any collection, and it's been a great conversation starter among my friends and family. 🔗Fury Tactical Treasure II Dive Knife: High-Quality, Durable, and versatile diving toolhttps://preview.redd.it/kpis8c52op5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=afb8ba86632fd09ace2a55f0bac011e27f0a377d When I first received the Fury Tactical Treasure II Dive Knife, its construction felt solid and the materials were high-quality. The handle was comfortable, especially with its unique side grip grooves. Upon using it in various situations, the knife showed promising performance and durability. However, an issue I encountered with the knife was while cleaning it. Despite being made of "German" steel, it started rusting after a couple of hours, which was disappointing. Considering that it is made in Taiwan, I expected better rust resistance. Overall, the Fury Tactical Treasure II Dive Knife showed potential, but the rust issue was a major drawback. 🔗ESEE 6P-OD Black Fixed Blade Knife with Olive Drab Sheath - Durable and High-Quality USA-Madehttps://preview.redd.it/ayk8zws2op5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b21de2ad9a7ab10b79c75fea1021c35e14d912d5 When I came across the ESEE 6P-OD, I knew it was a knife I wanted to try. It's a 6.5-inch drop-point fixed blade knife made from high-quality 1095 steel, giving it a sharp and durable edge. The blade is coated in black to protect it from corrosion, and it's perfectly balanced for a comfortable grip. One thing that stood out for me was the handle. Made from gray micarta, it's comfortable to hold, and has a lanyard hole in the rounded pommel for added convenience. The sheath is made of olive drab molded polymer and can be removed with a clip for easy carrying. In my experience, this knife proved to be reliable and versatile. It held up well during field tests and was a great tool to have on hand for various tasks. However, I also noticed that it's a bit on the pricey side compared to other knives in its class. Overall, I think the ESEE 6P-OD is a great choice if you're looking for a high-quality, made-in-the-USA fixed blade knife. Buyer's GuideWelcome to the buyer's guide for Fury Knives!

2024.06.10 11:11 happydaisy69 Does the brown intermittent spotting when a period is late count as a period?
So i’ve had super regular periods always but this time it got late by 10 days now.
Not pregnant. Not on birth control. I’m having brown discharge/spotting since 3 days now. Does this count as a period? Will it hopefully normalise next month?

2024.06.10 10:04 Ok_Struggle_167 Foundation stained lace brown
Hi I'm extremely pale/the lightest possible shade ever. And when I put foundation on the face and then afterwards tried to remove it with make up remover and a tooth brush and wipes it ended up actually staining the lace a dark ish brown! Are my expensive wigs ruined or is there a way to fix this or cover it...? When I put foundation on the lace it always looks very thick and cakey.
Recently I went to a professional wig installer and she said you have to mix the makeup with water..did anyone else ever hear of this? It makes sense but when I tried it myself it still looked bad ...is there like a known step by step process to do. I should of asked her but I didn't want to bother her (next time I will ask though) thanks for anyone who replies!!

I am compiling recipes found on the Internet of cookies recipes found in popular bakeries, cookie shops from across America or regionally in several states.
If you have any cookie recipes that you know of please post the name of the cookies - then links. So other members may be interested making these to satisfy our cravings.

Snickerdoodles - https://www.hummingbirdhigh.com/2020/12/snickerdoodle-recipe-without-cream-of-tartar.html
Note: Specialty's uses Guittard Semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips on their chocolate chip cookies. They also use Guittard's Au Lait White Chocolate chips on their black and white. After mixing the cookie dough and folding the chips and nuts, it is advisable to fold in the ingredients until it is evenly distributed into the cookie dough. Then scoop out either 3.5 oz or beige scoop (standard cookie size in 1990s to 2014), then reduced to 2 oz (standard blue scoop). Scoop them onto a parchment paper lined container in a single layer. Then put another layer of cardboard & parchment paper, add another single layer of cookies. Cover with plastic film and let it refrigerate and rest the cookies overnight to 24 hours.
Next day, preheat oven to 350F (conventional) or 325F (convection). Place the cookies 1.5" to 2" apart from each other on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake cookies for 14 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown but soft on centers.
As for black and whites, preheat oven to oven's instructions from the recipe. But cook for 12- 13 minutes to avoid chocolate from burning.
We remove the cookies from the oven, and let it cool on the baking sheets for 5 to 10 minutes to avoid breaking the cookies. People go crazy when our cookies came straight from the oven. We advise them to wait at the alloted time. Then cookies are packed in a slanted to vertical position in boxes. If it were packaged flat, they would crumble.
They also used Gold Medal Blue Label for all of their cookies.

Our expert team has scoured through countless options to bring you the most durable, stylish, and comfortable bed frames that cater to your needs. In this article, we will explore the top contenders, discussing their features, benefits, and potential drawbacks, making it easier for you to choose the perfect Full XL Bed Frame for your home. The Top 19 Best Full XL Bed Frames
Reviews🔗Heavy-Duty Adjustable Metal Bed Frame - Full XLhttps://preview.redd.it/f0cmn8ss3p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5dbe6a95a18d8086468e5dc83766692c6432b3af I recently upgraded my bedroom furniture to Kings Brand Furniture's Heavy Duty Adjustable Metal Bed Frame, and I must say, it's been a game-changer. The bed's structure is unbelievably strong and durable, providing excellent support for my mattress and headboard. The most impressive part is the two locking wheels, making it easy to move around without any hassle. Assembly was a breeze, and it only took me around 10 minutes to set it up. No additional tools were required, which made the entire process even more convenient. The steel frame looked elegant and complemented the look of my room perfectly. However, one downside was that the screws to attach the bed frame to the headboard were not included, which means I had to purchase them separately. Overall, my experience with Kings Brand Furniture's Adjustable Metal Bed Frame has been nothing but satisfying. It's strong, stylish, and easy to maneuver, making it an excellent addition to my bedroom. 🔗Sturdy Adjustable Metal Bed Frame with Glide Legshttps://preview.redd.it/dmo4fapw3p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6466bf743369169678b365165807407584ee74f After trying out the Heavy Duty Adjustable Metal Bed Frame, I was amazed at how effortless it was to set up in less than 10 minutes, with no additional tools required. The glides are great for hard surfaces like wood or tile floors. However, I wasn't a fan of the center support bar not working for twin size beds.

The heavy-duty slats exuded confidence, and the dark brown hue gave the bed an aesthetically pleasing charm. One feature that stood out to me was the 2-tier storage headboard, which offered ample space to store items that you'd otherwise have to hunt for. The 12 inches of under-bed clearance was another impressive feature, providing enough room for easy access to stored items. However, the noise-free rubber strip on each slat was a bit of a letdown. While it did its job of minimizing noise, I had hoped it would eliminate the sound altogether. Nonetheless, the convenience of the charging station integrated into the headboard made up for this small drawback. In conclusion, the Amerlife full-sized industrial platform bed strikes a perfect balance between functionality and style. Its rustic brown color, sturdy structure, and built-in charging station make it a great choice for anyone looking to elevate their sleep experience. 🔗Stylish Full Size Bed Frame with 4 Storage Drawers and Comfortable Backresthttps://preview.redd.it/sqc1xt2y3p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dad957ad6cae8c3a58afd3b258f331f9a8ea35e5 I was genuinely excited to try out the Feonase Full Size Bed Frame with all its bells and whistles.

No strings attached, just a black matte beauty, perfect for any type of headboard or mattress. You'll love its simple and elegant design which is great for those who believe "less is more. " This full size bed frame is not just a bed frame, but also a reliable 16 inches of storage clearance for your belongings, keeping your room decluttered. But, as a reviewer who tried it, I stumbled upon some drawbacks. Sometimes the stability isn't as solid as promised, with the sturdy legs seemingly going for a trip. Also, the frame is not quite up to the 4500 lbs weight capacity it says it can support. Maybe it's the material difference, not steel steel as advertised, and not quite as sturdy as needed for such a heavy frame. The assembly, they say, is straightforward and easy, but the task can sometimes be cumbersome due to a few missing hardware pieces. Lastly, the lack of leg protectors on the corners made moving into position a bit tricky, requiring some extra caution. In other words, a bed frame that could use some finesse—and the promise of an extra ton in the weight capacity should take this reviewer's concerns into account. 🔗Sleek Full XL Adjustable Hybrid Storage Bed in Light Grayhttps://preview.redd.it/eu00c5b14p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=712f7c4c6a3f14428904176861c906ca9d4b1c91 I recently spent a few weeks testing out the Full XL Standard Bed with Mattress from Homeroots, and I have to say, I was quite impressed. First off, the light gray color looks stunning in my bedroom, and it truly adds a modern, high-tech vibe to the space. The bed itself is quite spacious and comfortable, thanks to the 7-zone mattress and insulated support coil springs. I loved the fact that it comes with electronic controls to lift or recline, making it easier to find the perfect sleeping position. However, there were a couple of things that could have been improved. For starters, the bed could have been higher, as I found myself craving a little more headroom. Also, the bed's overall weight made it a bit difficult to move around, especially when I needed to change the sheets. Despite these minor drawbacks, I must admit the Full XL Standard Bed with Mattress from Homeroots is a great investment for those looking to add both style and comfort to their sleeping space. 🔗Smart LED Wingback Bed Frame with 4 Sliding Storage Drawershttps://preview.redd.it/la9woav14p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6f0ba0ac52eaa41d26ae4f8403f6d9210aa1a55 I recently got my hands on this stylish Full LED Bed Frame, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer in my bedroom. Firstly, the LED headboard is impressive! Millions of colors at my fingertips, and I love the music sync function. Not to mention, the built-in mic makes it fancy and perfect for setting the mood. The contemporary wingback design is tasteful and adds a touch of elegance. The 100% upholstered premium linen fabric feels luxurious, and the hidden LED lights give an extra edge to the bed frame.

The locking wheels make it easy to move, and its solid steel construction provides excellent support for both the mattress and the headboard.

What could it mean if I am coughing up mostly thick, white-ish phlegm with small amounts of little yellow/green (sometimes with a tinge of brown) speckles/ dots? Hard to actually get it up, most times I can feel or taste it in my upper chest/ lower throat, but can't clear it. Other times I can. Been happening for a couple of weeks now.

Reviews🔗High-Threat Level IV Full-Cut Combat Helmethttps://preview.redd.it/veh8ogmw2p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a735a3cbbae1cd22ef014787dca1b5053c7da8ba I recently tried out the Full-Cut Combat II Ballistic Helmet by Tacticalpow, and let me tell you, it's a real game-changer. This thing feels like a solid rock around my head, but in a good way. The high ballistic protection it offers is what stands out the most. I even had a chance to test it with a 7.62x51mm rifle, and it held up like a champ. Designed with UHMWPE material, it truly feels like a durable piece of armor for those high-threat situations. The helmet's compatibility with various accessories, such as communications headsets, gas masks, and goggles, is simply fantastic. The D3O Trust Stealth suspension system provides the perfect fit. However, one thing I noticed is that this helmet can be a bit heavy depending on the user. There's room for improvement in terms of weight, but overall, it's still a reliable and exceptional product. 🔗Tactical Pow Ballistic Helmet: High-Threat Protectionhttps://preview.redd.it/oueg9amw2p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9861d9c3dd4b7025f938db7b5a9241b3d227912 I was recently introduced to the L110 Combat IV ballistic helmet, and I must say, it's a lifesaver for those of us involved in high-threat situations. Despite its sturdy UHMWPE design, it remains surprisingly wearable. The Helmet Bro Helmet Liner System offers added comfort, while the Epic Air Pad System ensures a snug fit that you can adjust with the Dial Retention System. However, as with anything that promises extreme protection, there are some downsides. The helmet feels heavier than I expected, making it challenging to wear for extended periods. Also, integration with other gear, like communications or gas masks, seemed a bit clunky, although it's an expected feature for this level of protection. Overall, the L110 Combat IV ballistic helmet truly delivers on its promise of high-level threat protection. Just remember, it's not a fashion statement and will feel heavy compared to other helmets out there. 🔗NIJ Level IV Full Face Tactical Helmet with D3O Trust Stealth Suspensionhttps://preview.redd.it/4rryiamw2p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9c6010fc32cc92d4fdc62f3245b2ac6d026f45d The Camouflage L110 Level IV 7.62x51mm Rifle Protection Full-Cut Combat helmet has been a game-changer in my line of work. It's like wearing a shield that's both comfortable and practical. The helmet's ability to protect against 7.62 x 51mm M80 NATO Ball rounds is truly impressive. I've been using it in high-threat situations, and the UHMWPE material and D3O Trust Stealth suspension system make it easy to wear for extended periods. It's also amazing how seamlessly it integrates with communications, gas masks, and goggles. The inclusion of the Dial Retention System is an added bonus, ensuring a secure fit at all times. The helmet passed all NIJ standards, making it reliable in high-pressure situations. However, it could be a bit lighter, which is something to consider. Overall, it's a top-notch piece of equipment for those who need the highest level of protection. 🔗Nichols High-Threat Full Face Tactical Helmethttps://preview.redd.it/ug5f52xw2p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=631b54e216279bc0322da8b92dc1f212e6dee876 Over the past few weeks, I've been wearing the Hikepros Fast Helmet Level IV 7.62x51mm Rifle Protection Combat II Ballistic Helmet Army Green-XL in my daily life. As I encountered some high-threat situations, I found it to be incredibly protective, with the UHMWPE material offering outstanding ballistic protection. The helmet's seamless integration with communications, gas masks, and goggles has proved a game-changer when navigating these challenging situations. Despite the excellent protection the helmet provides, I have experienced a slight discomfort when wearing for extended periods due to the D3O Trust Stealth suspension system. However, the overall experience has been very positive, and the helmet's quality and design have stood out to me during these high-risk scenarios. 🔗Lightweight, Durable Full-Face Tactical Helmethttps://preview.redd.it/hcuhwgax2p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35cb05c38505966c54c77d4e5ef266bbc828bcc4 I've been using the Scorpion EXO-AT960 Modular Helmet with Kryptek Wraith graphics for a while now, and I must say it's quite the unique piece of gear. The helmet features an impressive combination of comfort, safety, and connectivity for adventure motorcycle riders. One of the most noteworthy aspects is its peak visor, which can be easily removed to make the helmet more aerodynamic for touring purposes. One of the main highlights for me is the wide, oversized eye port. It offers improved peripheral vision and downward visibility, making it easier to navigate through various terrains. The modular chin bar is another great feature, allowing for a more versatile and customizable riding experience. However, there are a few drawbacks I've encountered. The internal chin vent, while easy to manipulate, can be quite difficult to open or close while in gear. This can be quite inconvenient during long rides. Additionally, the peak visor tends to vibrate quite a bit, which can be quite loud and distracting. Overall, I'd say the Scorpion EXO-AT960 Modular Helmet offers a decent balance between comfort, safety, and connectivity. It's definitely worth considering, especially if you're a fan of modular helmets and the added flexibility they provide. 🔗Scorpion EXO XT9000 Carbon Helmet: Premium All-Terrain Adventure Gearhttps://preview.redd.it/3x862w6z2p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce46eeb655524c034777d3ad45d7934aed8ee3f6 The Scorpion EXO XT9000 Carbon helmet was an exhilarating experience for me. The moment I put it on, I could feel the superior strength that the 3K Carbon fiber material provided. The helmet's aerodynamics were exceptional, allowing me to ride at high speeds without any buffeting or lift. The detachable peak visor was a game-changer for me, as it allowed me to remove it when I wanted a more streamlined profile. I found the tool-less system of swapping between shields convenient and quick. The wide eye port allowed for greater peripheral vision, which was perfect when riding off-road. The Airfit liner inflation system was an innovative feature that not only customized the fit of my cheek pads but also significantly reduced wind noise. However, there were a few minor drawbacks. The helmet's chin bar vent was somewhat difficult to adjust, and the size of the vent opening seemed a bit small. I also felt that the chin strap could have been longer for a better fit. Overall, the Scorpion EXO XT9000 Carbon helmet was comfortable, stylish, and provided excellent safety features. It was lightweight and offered great performance both on and off the road. The only thing holding it back was the minor fit issues, which I had experienced with my previous Scorpion helmets as well. I would still recommend it for adventure riders looking for a reliable full-face helmet. 🔗NIJ IIIA+ Rapid Adjusting Full-Face Tactical Helmethttps://preview.redd.it/6up1ufuz2p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db6cfc569dc13c2264900e8cb50fffc29b1a0022 As I stepped outside one day, I found myself in the middle of a chaotic situation. Gunshots echoed in the distance, sirens wailed, and people shouted as they ran for cover. That's when I was grateful for the helmet I had just received from Atomic Defense - a NIJ IIIA+ Fast Style ate Bulletproof Helmet. It's the only one that has been tested to withstand 9mm, . 357 SIG, 7.62mm x 25mm TKR, and even the powerful. 44 Magnum rounds. The helmet feels tough at first, but once you get it on, it's surprisingly lightweight and comfortable. The interior padding is fully adjustable, and it retains its shape even after being beaten. The tactical ARC rail system allows easy attachment of NVG or other accessories. The 360-degree all-weather coating ensures the helmet stays functional in any weather condition. One downside, however, is the velcro glue on the helmet, which isn't holding as strong as I'd like. And, the helmet comes in a smaller size than expected for my head. I hope they can send me a larger size to try, as their commitment to their customers makes me believe they will. Overall, the helmet feels well-built, and I feel safer wearing it in a world where we never know when danger might strike. 🔗Shellback Tactical Full-Face Helmet: Lightweight and Versatile Protectionhttps://preview.redd.it/0z65n0703p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e59e5fe697db0ee2a26728e32cd0e8d37996237 I recently had the opportunity to try out the Shellback Tactical Level IIIA Ach High Cut Ballistic Helmet, and I have to say, it's impressively sleek and functional.

It's sleek, stylish, and undeniably sturdy. My favorite part is the Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene material (UHMWPE), which makes it incredibly lightweight without compromising its protection capabilities. I've also been using the included tactical goggles for daily activities, and they fit seamlessly with the helmet.

The high-cut design is particularly noteworthy, allowing for easy communication and ear protection while still maintaining its protective capabilities. The polymer side rails are an added bonus, with their retention bungee cords for night vision goggles, making it a versatile option for users. However, no product is without its drawbacks, and this ballistic helmet is no exception. It does tend to be a bit heavier than some of its counterparts, weighing in at 3 lb. 4 oz. before any accessories. And while it is compatible with a variety of NVG mounts, the fit can sometimes be a bit snug for certain users. Overall, this Airframe Level IV Rifle Protection High Cut Ballistic Helmet is a solid choice for those seeking a durable, functional, and comfortable full-face tactical helmet. 🔗Next-Generation 6D ATR-2 Tactical Motorcycle Helmet for Ultimate Protectionhttps://preview.redd.it/ldwqkni43p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe0994d748699160e9bfa257e4adcef5bc9aef9f There's something exhilarating about the 6D ATR-2 Tactical Helmet that sets it apart from the rest. The moment you slip it on, its lightweight feel and sleek design make you feel like a superhero on the road. But don't be fooled, its unassuming exterior belies a wealth of cutting-edge technology designed to keep you as safe as possible should you be involved in a crash. The innovative ODS system, or Omni-Directional Suspension, is the crown jewel of its safety features. It's been purposefully engineered to manage energy in case of an accident, and the unique capability to be rebuilt after most impacts really makes the 6D stand out. This is peace of mind that you just don't get with most other motorcycle helmets. One of the most impressive characteristics of this helmet is its ability to protect not just your head, but your entire upper body. The additional face protection and clavicle clearance are two features that truly set the ATR-2 apart. It feels like a custom-fit suit, offering maximum protection in all the right places. But nothing is perfect, right? One downside to the 6D is its price tag. It's a significant investment, and for some, it might be hard to justify that expense. Yet, when you consider the advanced technology and the level of comfort it provides, the cost starts to make more sense. There's also the consideration of removable, washable comfort liners. A Dri-Lex fabric is used, which I find is quite effective in keeping your head cool during long rides. However, it's a feature that could have been more user-friendly. It took me a bit of time to figure out how to remove and clean these liners. The ventilation system is also worth a mention. With 9 intake ports and 6 exhaust ports working together, it ensures a constant flow of air, which is crucial during hotter weather. But, I found it wasn't as effective as I'd hoped it would be. Despite these minor drawbacks, the 6D ATR-2 Tactical Helmet continues to impress me every time I wear it. It's a testament to the saying "you get what you pay for", but also a reminder that there's always room for improvement. 🔗NIJ Level IV Armored Helmet for High-Threat Protectionhttps://preview.redd.it/hqtab0253p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0b9572f80f7941088e9d97b7b0c097121ce37cb This Level IV Ballistic Helmet, also known as the MICH 2000, has become an indispensable piece of gear for me over the past few months. I've been in some pretty intense gunfire situations, and this helmet has proven to be incredibly reliable in protecting me. The Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) material it's made of gives me the confidence that I'll be safe even in the most high-threat scenarios. One feature that really stands out is the stealth suspension system. It's been a lifesaver when I need to communicate with my team or quickly exchange information. I also appreciate the versatility of the retention system - having the option to switch between dial, X-back, and H-back is a great convenience. And I must say, I've been impressed with how seamlessly I can integrate this helmet with communications, gas masks, and goggles. However, the helmet isn't completely without its drawbacks. For one, I've found that some of the accessories can be a bit of a pain to attach and remove, especially in the heat of the moment. It's not a major issue, but something I've noticed. Overall, this Level IV Ballistic Helmet has become a trusted companion in my daily work. The level of protection it offers combined with its versatile features makes it a top pick for anyone dealing with high-threat situations. 🔗High-Performance Ballistic Riot Helmet with Adjustable Visorhttps://preview.redd.it/r1a3cbm53p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd8320f70550e6e72f5ad32cf6608ef00b0841c8 I recently had the opportunity to try out the 3A Ballistic Helmet with Bulletproof Visor for Helmets. As someone who values both personal protection and comfort, this helmet truly impressed me. The first thing I noticed when putting on the helmet was the adjustable visor, which came in handy as I found my optimal fit for clear visibility and safety. The visor's three adjustment points allowed me to quickly find the right position for my head and face shape. This feature, along with the helmet being lightweight, made it comfortable to wear, even during extended periods. In terms of protection, the helmet's NIJ Level IIIA+ ballistic protection proved to be effective, as it could withstand rounds from handguns and other high-velocity weapons. The visor's multi-layered polycarbonate material successfully absorbed impacts, and the visor's fog-free design ensured clear vision at all times. One aspect of the helmet that could use improvement is the visor's weight. Its thickness makes it quite heavy, which can be a minor issue for some users. However, considering the level of protection offered, this could be an acceptable trade-off for many. Overall, this Ballistic Helmet with Bulletproof Visor for Helmets provided excellent protection, a comfortable fit, and an adjustable visor that met my safety and visibility needs. Although the visor's weight might be a point of concern for some, the pros easily outweigh the cons in this case. 🔗High-Threat NIJ Level IV Ballistic Tactical Helmet with NVG Shroud and Retention Optionshttps://preview.redd.it/vj9h0f163p5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0cbfe6cb8bf12c02a6fc41adace990a97e72e36 I had the chance to try out the High Cut ACH/MiCH IV 2000 Ballistic Helmets Tactical Helmet, and let me tell you, it's a pretty impressive piece of gear. When I first put it on, I was instantly sold on its design and the attention to detail. I especially loved the camouflage feature; it really does a great job of blending into the surroundings, which is perfect for those of us working in tactical situations. One of the best features of this helmet is the D3O Trust Stealth suspension system. It provides the perfect balance of comfort and protection, making it suitable for a long day on the field. The adjustable retention options are also incredibly useful; I tried out the dial, X-back, and H-Back systems, and all of them made for a snug, secure fit. However, as with any gear, there were a few downsides that I encountered. The first thing that comes to mind is the fragile nature of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) material, which the helmet is made with. This means I had to be extra cautious while using it, especially during handling. In conclusion, this Camouflage High Cut ACH/MiCH IV 2000 Ballistic Helmet has been a reliable companion in my missions. With its superior ballistic protection, ease of integration with other gear, and versatile retention systems, I'd definitely recommend it to fellow tactical professionals. Just remember to take care of it, as the material can be a bit delicate. Buyer's GuideWhen selecting a full face tactical helmet, there are several important features to consider.

The blue pick bone handle stood out against the stainless steel clip and spey blades, giving this knife a distinctive yet elegant look.

The mirror finish on the blades made each cut seem almost effortless, and the nickel silver bolster provided a sturdy and reliable base for all tasks. It's clear that no corners were cut when it came to crafting this knife. However, as with any product, there were a couple of drawbacks that I noticed. Firstly, the 3.63 inch dimensions meant that, while it was perfectly functional, I found myself yearning for a slightly larger or more convenient size for some day-to-day tasks. Secondly, the fact that it was made in Pakistan might raise questions about its origin and potential for sourcing concerns. Nonetheless, the Frost Cutlery Blue Bone Jim Bowie Trapper proved to be a reliable and trustworthy companion in my daily life. It's a testament to the craftsmanship and care that goes into creating a high-quality piece of cutlery. 🔗Frost Cutlery Whitetail Cutlery Bowie Knife with Brass Guard and Pommel (Full Tang)https://preview.redd.it/xsaoasg7zo5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad051df915f3058e6a7ebf92efcda73f662e1f49 As a knife enthusiast, I recently had the chance to try out the Frost Cutlery Fwt1000 BRK Fixed Blade.

But once I got the hang of it, cutting through vegetables and even some light materials was a breeze. Overall, the Frost SHP137SBR Bowie Copper Guard proves to be a stylish and functional addition to any kitchen or collection, and I'd highly recommend it to those who appreciate both beauty and performance in their knives. 🔗Frost CW882GB Calm Meadow Bowie Knife - 12" Satin Finish Blade with Leather Belt Sheathhttps://preview.redd.it/hm6l5ff8zo5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce3a8aaf750c72b6043cb01ee34d71e783c0cf83 The Frost CW882GB Calm Meadow Fixed Blade - a stunning addition to your collection of knives!

2024.06.10 08:47 MadeMyHorseHotK Qoren III - Give Us a Song (Open to Yronwood)
Yronwood
11th moon of 25 A.C.
The tourney had occurred directly after the ceremony. It had been a dreadful upset, two of the three events had been won by Reachmen, and were it not for Cassandra's presence, and the simple fact that those victors were her kin, Qoren would quite likely have been inclined toward violence.
Alas, it was not wise to spill blood on one's wedding day, even if the delights were already tasted and tested. Instead, when Qoren had felt his blood boiling at the day's follies, he'd turned his eyes to Cass, squeezed her hand, and whispered something lewd into her ear. He wanted her giggling, laughing, smiling. It sent the right sort of message, most especially toward the Fowlers. It was a good thing the Fowlers were upset, for there were motions that required their indulgence.
Finally, when the day's sport had ended, and the afternoon sun was hanging low in the sky, Qoren and all his guests alike had retired for a brief interlude before the night's events. Most would change to warmer attire, for nights in the Red Mountains were nothing to sniff at, while Qoren found himself bored and irritated. He wanted his wife, to have her, to bed her, but it was too soon for that. As lord and host, and groom too, he was obligated to attend the feasting, the drinking, the fighting and the feuding - he could only hope there would be a good deal of the latter two.
"Reachers, stormshits and Dornish all in my hall, ay?" Qoren had remarked to one of his servants. "Good odds for a brawl, no? If so, I intend to let them have at it! I'll keep my guards back till steel is drawn, and then we'll break some arms!" Qoren was thoroughly chuffed at the idea, and if he were lucky, perhaps he'd get to see the Martell bitch squeal. Even now, having been forced to tolerate the princess' presence, Qoren still did not understand why she had come. All of Dorne knew of his vow. Ser Qoren Yronwood, heir to Yronwood, would not speak to another Martell under the Princess Meria was dead. Admittedly, Qoren half found himself hoping the princess would endeavour to embarass herself by his vow.
The feast itself was an indulgent affair. Syrella had told Qoren to spare no expense, she would not be there, but none should be allowed to say the Yronwoods did not know joy. There were jugglers in motley, and fools dressed as lions and wolves and long leaping animals with stripes for skin, which were said to be known in the east as 'zorses'. And in the hall's centre, around which the feasting tables were set, were a band of dancers from Vaith, all coppery and small, but lithe and strong. They danced in the Dornish fashion, and most were half naked to the air, while some dragged long bands of silk - reds and golds and oranges all - through the scene, like wafting vapours made flesh. And when the dancers were done, a troupe of mummers replaced them, and put to stage the story of Myrmella the Lost, followed by Balder the Brave, a famed Dornish knight from the Red Mountains, who lived some seven hundred years gone. All the while, bards filled the hall, and carefully selected songs and tunes lifted the spirits of the feasters.
As concerned the night's food and drink, there were Dornish reds aplenty, with a small smattering of Arbor golds and Lannisport spiced honey wines to grant for the weaker palates of the Reachmen and Stormlords alike. And for those braver sorts, there were liquors from as far as Volantis and Qarth. The Volantene was a pale green, while the Qartheen was ambered in colour, and spiced for taste. But, the drink of choice that guests would fast find the men of Yronwood pushing upon them were the Dornish liquors, sourced from Dalt and Vaith and Yronwood too. Some were a pale orange, while others were a thick brown, and it was doubtless true that the darker the colour, the more repugnant the smell.
So when the guests found themselves ready to feast, with a belly fully of day's wine, and a swimming mind, doubtless some were scared back to Honeyholt when they were faced with scorpions drowned in butter and spice, and baked till golden brown, set down beside snake meat, roasted and charred, and hot enough to make a man jump. There were, too, tamer meats. Goat and pig, cow and rabbit all. But all were thoroughly spiced. Perhaps, the only foods on offer that lacked for a tongue lashing taste were the breads, some sweet, some savoury, and too the succulent fruits drawn from the Reach and some parts of Dorne. Lastly, there were cakes. Cakes aplenty. But, the cakes, the fruits, and the breads, were all held back by a good half hour.
Qoren and Cassandra sat at the head of the hall, with their kin on either side. There was no special place for the Martells, nor was there any set seating, and every time a Dornish knight, or squire too, snatched up the hand of a demure girl from the Reach or the Stormlands all, a chorus of jeers and cheers and laughter erupted across the Dornishmen in the hall. One of the fools, the one dressed as a goose, even seemed to be mimicking a certain vulgar act.

The peeler included in the same box has made peeling potatoes feel like finger painting - smooth, effortless, and almost cathartic!

2024.06.10 08:38 sensitivesentimental We hid our guilt from each other and now I think we regret separating, at least me..
i really don’t know where to go from here. so i’m (22F) mexican-american (specifically veracruz, mexico) and for the past 2 years on and off my ex (24M) who is black (he’s got family in NJ and SC) we’ve officially called it quits after letting out the bag, our internalized guilt for dating outside our races/ethnicities. and we both admitted to each other this feels weird and immature..?
we’ve had such a special, loving, passionate and supportive relationship. he was my second relationship ever after i got out of an awful relationship with my previous ex i would go back and forth with this guy for 5 years (even bailing him out of jail once). i did some pretty intense therapy for a year after that ended and at the least expected moment in my life, i met my then boyfriend through a mutual friend. he shot his shot in my dms telling me he saw the selfie i took with my girl friend when we went out to get drinks and told me he noticed i had on a pair of margiela tabi’s in a post of mine! (no because who taught you that lmao)
i work in nonprofit spaces that advocate for immigration-affected populations, all my life i’ve done my best to try and navigate societal institutions through a multicultural lens, i’ve strived to always expand my knowledge on the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality and etc., even beyond the lenses of us-american culture. and yet, my very traditional, christian pentecostal and internalized colorist and anti-black views from my family (majority my mother) i feel held me back from truly being fully happy with my ex-partner. im the stereotypical eldest daughter first-generation latina who has the weight of carrying the generational wealth and success of my family, so obviously i’m a people pleaser especially with my family (currently working on moving out soon too bc after completing undergrad and moving back home i realized my mental health is DETERIORATING) so when my boyfriend and i would have our disagreements (we used to be long distance because my college was 2 hours away) we would just take breaks, until either him or i would be like “okay what’s really going on let’s meet and talk” and then schedule a time to talk and it would always be resolved. but i think deep down we always had this inkling of unsettled feelings, at least for me, it was trying to keep my mothers disapproval at bay and make my partner feel like he doesn’t have to worry about my mental wellbeing all the time.
my ex is on the same boat also having very christian parents, being the eldest son and first-generation to graduate college also thinking about the future and how his success will carry on in his family. he’s a marketing consultant and works at a major shoe company, and i know deep down he’s also a creative genius, he’s a natural stylist and has always had beautiful fashion sense we’ve bonded over our shared passion for aesthetics and the arts since we first began talking. many times i’ve told him to take his styling to the next level but i think he’s always gone the safe route of another corporate position for the sake of his family… again. and i’m incredibly aware of the obstacles dark skin black men face time and time again trying to enter creative institutions, so i don’t discredit his choice of wanting to stay where he is in order to provide for his parents and siblings.
well, we both broke things off a first time around may 2023 when we both graduated mostly because senior year of undergrad completely eviscerated us mentally and emotionally. we both had family members die a couple months before our graduation and after some bad miscommunication and avoidant behaviors in regards to attending each other’s graduation, and then neither of us attending each other’s graduation, it disappointed me greatly and as y’all know, latinos prioritize being there for the big moments in each other’s lives. anyway, my ex and i went without talking for about 9 months, we were still social media mutuals then and around feb/march 2024 we broke the ice and grabbed coffee and went to dinner one evening.
it was like time had never passed. he was still the most beautiful and charming man i remembered meeting 2 years ago. his humor, banter and affectionate nature felt like home to me. at the end of the night he offered to drive me home (my car had been at the repair shop that day and i ubered to meet up with him) and i politely accepted after realizing my closest uber would be 15 minutes away. i made the first “move” and lightly placed my hand on his , and telling him how great it was to see each other again, and that i missed him. he reached out and rubbed my thigh lightly squeezing it while still driving and telling me he missed me very much too. when he got to my parent’s house (which he still remembered how to get there no gps needed) we sat for what felt like forever but were only a couple of minutes saying our goodbyes, until finally i reached over to give him a hug and kissed his cheek, he kissed mine, and then we made out. after those few seconds we broke off and i told him to text me when he made it home, he did and that was that. no next day conversation about that event. we’d do this little dance every now and again only meeting up when our jobs didn’t get in the way of scheduling, maybe meeting up about a handful of times from feb 2024 to now (june 2024) but still texting almost daily. until finally at the end of last month (may 2024) i opened up about how deeply disappointing it had been for me to not have my then partner be there at my graduation even if i had been kinda awkward around the conversation because so much was going on with my family and mental health, all i really wanted was him there. being present for those occasions are immensely important to latinos. then, he said he felt regret about not being there either, he knew deep down he should’ve found a way to go even if his car wasn’t working at the time (he had a 15+ yr old car back then and recently upgraded), he hadn’t considered the fact that because his own graduation didn’t feel like a big deal to him that i’d feel differently and i had every right to feel resentment towards him for it. my mother also made it a point to point out at the time that because HE wasn’t there, no one else truly cared about me, with the exception of HER. i should’ve broken things off with that “bum” long ago. that “bum” was the first partner i openly shared my bpd diagnosis with and even though i’d exhibited plenty of times my anxious-avoidant attachment behaviors to, he’d still find a way a reassure me he wants me to trust him. he might not have all the “emotional intelligence” and “therapy lingo” to know what’s all going on or how his own bad habits affect me but he’s always gone out of his way to ask how to be better… that’s what made me fall in love with him. my mother had always found a way to influence my choices even when deep down they went against my better judgement.
continuing that convo, i open up about how my mother had manipulated my point of view and led me to my agreed choice of when my ex and i first separated. at the time of our first breakup (may 2023) he said he didn’t know if he wanted to separate because he just felt distance from me or he felt distance and a loss of love on his end because we hadn’t been seeing each other in person for a few months before graduation. at the time i had said “that’s for you to figure out, but i can’t go back and forth with you on the lil “breaks” we take because you think im saying “break ups” when really i just need time to process things and need reassurance, not more distance, i want more vulnerability from you.” since then i realized “taking a break” is a literal trigger phrase for him after being in a situationship with a girl who avoided his attempts to hang out or go on dates.
i told him im aware of the fact we’ve been dancing around what exactly we are since almost any other occasion we go out together there’s some kind of physical affection involved. most recently a concert we went to where he held me the entire time. and after lots of apologies and discussion, we both stopped fronting and admitted we missed each other deeply, and maybe we still had that loving connection with each other. he made it a point to mention that throughout the months we went no-contact he missed me deeply, “all i thought about was how is she doing? what’s that beautiful and smart shorty up to, i miss her and love her.” he told me from now on, he’d make sure to be present for those special occasions no matter what, he had finally put a down payment on his new car and was ready to go anywhere when it came to those events and wherever i’d move to (i had been debating to stay in my current area or move closer to work) and that would no longer be a problem. and i told him that means a lot but also, even though i will be moving, it’s important to make note that my mental health will be pretty sensitive when it comes to my transition to living alone (that latina daughter guilt does NOT PLAY) he said he was willing to learn and prepare strategies that help me when i feel that way. he had such a confident and supportive attitude when all my concerns came up. by then we had circled around the fact that we had been affectionate with one another these last few months and where did i stand as far as what we were. i was honest and told him i don’t really know, but after hearing him be open about those months and lingering feelings, whilst also reassuring me, i told him where i wanna go from there and that if what i’m hearing sounds right, then all i need is some time to finish arranging my life for a bit with the move out, and tell my mother ONCE i’ve moved out about the status of his and i’s relationship, just because of her notoriety to use any relationships i have against me. he agreed and said he understood, it would be better to keep that under wraps until the big move out. i thought that conversation went well and the next day i had to take a day trip for a job related event, and on the day after the event drive back as i sat more with my thoughts. so i asked him my lingering questions “what’s the conversation gonna be like for your family as far as mentioning me?” and “i think im jumping the gun a bit but, what are our anniversary dates looking like or maybe this is a future conversation but, maybe i just have lingering resentment of the dates all these conflicts went down.”
his responses being, “i don’t think i want to move forward with this whole relationship, i think im just not feeling the same as then and maybe i just didn’t think it through entirely and went off of your feelings” he had disappointed me once again, maybe choosing the avoidance route when i would ask for clarity and action from him as reinforcement from his apologies, because apologies and promises without action are just words. so we met up and cleared the air, i was transparent with him, no hiding and fawning like i used to, and told him it’s time he realized his forms of deflection, by placing blame on me and dodging confrontation and action because he assumes others intentions are to judge him and with malice is not how he should walk through life. if you weren’t ready to answer the questions and just wanted more time to work towards those goals then i would’ve understood. but now where do you stand on still wanting or not wanting a relationship, because frankly for myself, i was ready to just shut the door on him. i don’t want to be around him if he’s just going to regress to those behaviors. he was incredibly vulnerable, reflecting and then tearing up (he never does that), and thanked me for calling him out and said he would absolutely work on that from now on, he learns so much better when he’s called out even if he initially feels the need to be defensive. he’s now thought about every single personal relationship he’s had where he’s exhibited those behaviors and wants to heal from that. but as far as making a decision on if we wanted to or not continue a relationship we left that for a next time we met which was like a week later.
we met up, he showed me his new car, went for a walk and talked. we discussed work, how was apartment searching for me, how was life, and then. the topic at hand. do we or do we not move forward with this? and he said what i deep down knew would be his safe bet “i think it’s time we part ways you know? i’ve been thinking about from then to now, like, from the period we weren’t speaking to now, and it just feels like it’s not the same.” i nodded and told him that’s a choice i can agree on too but also, that there was more. and he went “more? how so?” i went “well, it’s natural that after some time people change and things don’t feel the same i mean we spent more time apart than really cultivating something but in the time we reconnected, to me, it feels like friends who’ve never lost track of time. but what else are your reasons?” he went “well. there’s two really i think. communication is a big one, but i feel like now that we can both meet and talk in person, when we talk and call it’s so much easier to understand each other than text. like, we seem to work together to get on a similar page. but yeah that. and, to be honest it’s been this weird feeling whether it’s a moral thing on my end or the voice of my auntie in my head but, dating someone who isn’t black feels like, wrong. like, it’s not right and, my auntie wants BLACK nieces and BLACK nephews you know?” and finally… i didn’t feel crazy anymore. i knew my intuition was right. i knew all the times i had thought deep down he wasn’t sure how to navigate family occasions with me around and i, also not being sure with him, weren’t just some weird racial tension on my end. and i laughed.
he looked at me and went “what?” i finally uncovered my mouth after trying to stifle my laughter and went “that was one of my reasons too, if not, the biggest one.” and both of us sighed at the same time. i told him “you have no idea how deeply awful i felt over the fact that maybe your family wasn’t interested in incorporating me into the picture and maybe you were hesitant to incorporate me out of like embarrassment“ and he stopped me “no, not embarrassment. you never, not once, were embarrassing to me” so quickly i responded “let me rephrase, sorry, hmmm, guilt?” he nodded, “exactly. guilt.” so i continued “i remember our first thanksgiving together, when we finally went to your grandparents’ place and they offered us seats at the adult table and you turned it down to sit with your siblings and i asked why and you said we can talk about it later and i didn’t bother to remind you again? i think i knew, you didn’t want them to probe me with questions, or they run the risk of saying something outta line.” he got quiet “yeah…. and i’m sorry you kept that to yourself all this time.” i said “it’s alright. i’m glad i don’t feel crazy anymore.” we continued chatting, “for myself, as a latina, and my family being immigrant. we prioritize not only the retention of the spanish language but the acculturation and customs from food, to manners, to values. and while the rest of my family truly has no qualms as far as race, only my mother is more apprehensive because of her own deep seated colorism and trauma she has, what’s held me back is your american-ness.” “i feel guilty when i know latino men struggle with access to education, support, desirability, etc and other societal issues that affect them, and knowing our culture teaches us to stand behind our hard working latino men, i know it’s what my family wants for me, i feel guilty of not fulfilling that expectation, when im with you. and i also know the latina woman and black woman diaspora share almost a vent diagram of similar issues passed on from white supremacy, stereotypes, and other issues within the culture. social media has literally written think pieces on those families that start off as black/brown/latino and then like after two generations, full of white ass babies.” and he nodded “as a black man, who’s been hearing and seeing on social media that same stuff, but also raised in a black household entirely, it’s all people talk about. for me, like you said, black women have been seen as less desirable by others, it’s not at all how i was taught of course, but still when, being with you, i can’t explain the guilt of what it might be like for someone to think i don’t find black women attractive even if it’s not true.” and i nodded in agreement. it somehow felt so reassuring to know we both sat with this unspoken feeling for over two years, just wanting to do right and please others around us, even repeating to ourselves it’s what’s right.
and then we sat for a while and he said “now… i’m confused.” i responded “me too.” he said “i thought this would resolve it and just make it easier but, now it feels immature?” and me “yeah, childish even?” he nodded. i talked to him about advice i had received from one of my married friends she’s black and her husband is latino. in summary she explained the more one holds off on those hard topics the more everything else seems to snowball, and it’s going to be impossible to please everyone in your family, at the end of the day, the people in the relationship are the only knows who know the truth. i don’t know why i hadn’t remembered that advice until now, but i shared it with him, as we reflected more. he was right. this was confusing. so, he broke the silence “i think i still want to go through with splitting up. and yeah” i sat still for a while longer, nodded my head, and walked away. i went to my car and sat inside for five minutes, silent tears rolling down my face. if we had both agreed to do what was right for our families and communities, why did it feel like i betrayed myself? i don’t know, but im hoping to just find a way to heal from this past relationship, any advice?

he looked at me and went “what?” i finally uncovered my mouth after trying to stifle my laughter and went “that was one of my reasons too, if not, the biggest one.” and both of us sighed at the same time. i told him “you have no idea how deeply awful i felt over the fact that maybe your family wasn’t interested in incorporating me into the picture and maybe you were hesitant to incorporate me out of like embarrassment“ and he stopped me “no, not embarrassment. you never, not once, were embarrassing to me” so quickly i responded “let me rephrase, sorry, hmmm, guilt?” he nodded, “exactly. guilt.” so i continued “i remember our first thanksgiving together, when we finally went to your grandparents’ place and they offered us seats at the adult table and you turned it down to sit with your siblings and i asked why and you said we can talk about it later and i didn’t bother to remind you again? i think i knew, you didn’t want them to probe me with questions, or they run the risk of saying something outta line.” he got quiet “yeah…. and i’m sorry you kept that to yourself all this time.” i said “it’s alright. i’m glad i don’t feel crazy anymore.” we continued chatting, “for myself, as a latina, and my family being immigrant. we prioritize not only the retention of the spanish language but the acculturation and customs from food, to manners, to values. and while the rest of my family truly has no qualms as far as race, only my mother is more apprehensive because of her own deep seated colorism and trauma she has, what’s held me back is your american-ness.” “i feel guilty when i know latino men struggle with access to education, support, desirability, etc and other societal issues that affect them, and knowing our culture teaches us to stand behind our hard working latino men, i know it’s what my family wants for me, i feel guilty of not fulfilling that expectation, when im with you. and i also know the latina woman and black woman diaspora share almost a vent diagram of similar issues passed on from white supremacy, stereotypes, and other issues within the culture. social media has literally written think pieces on those families that start off as black/brown/latino and then like after two generations, full of white ass babies.” and he nodded “as a black man, who’s been hearing and seeing on social media that same stuff, but also raised in a black household entirely, it’s all people talk about. for me, like you said, black women have been seen as less desirable by others, it’s not at all how i was taught of course, but still when, being with you, i can’t explain the guilt of what it might be like for someone to think i don’t find black women attractive even if it’s not true.” and i nodded in agreement. it somehow felt so reassuring to know we both sat with this unspoken feeling for over two years, just wanting to do right and please others around us, even repeating to ourselves it’s what’s right.
and then we sat for a while and he said “now… i’m confused.” i responded “me too.” he said “i thought this would resolve it and just make it easier but, now it feels immature?” and me “yeah, childish even?” he nodded. i talked to him about advice i had received from one of my married friends she’s black and her husband is latino. in summary she explained the more one holds off on those hard topics the more everything else seems to snowball, and it’s going to be impossible to please everyone in your family, at the end of the day, the people in the relationship are the only knows who know the truth. i don’t know why i hadn’t remembered that advice until now, but i shared it with him, as we reflected more. he was right. this was confusing. so, he broke the silence “i think i still want to go through with splitting up. and yeah” i sat still for a while longer, nodded my head, and walked away. i went to my car and sat inside for five minutes, silent tears rolling down my face. if we had both agreed to do what was right for our families and communities, why did it feel like i betrayed myself? i don’t know, but im hoping to just find a way to heal from this past relationship, any advice?
