2024.05.16 01:49 UnchieZ I TRAINED her. Yet dad makes her piss inside
~~~ skip to this if you just want dog rage
My bf's mom decided to get a whole new dog after their old one passed away from old age. She now has a chronic illness that prevents her from doing even the smallest task (i wish her well, and she is not really the problem here).
The parents decided on a whim to adopt one without my bf's approval. Thats fine and all, they're adults and they can do whatever they want, right?
It turns out the mom was the main caretaker and trainer for the dogs. Now the burden is put on my bf alone even though he didnt even want the darn dog.
Bf works a full time job, studies, and does all the responsibilities he had before, plus his mom's share (this includes cleaning, vaccuming, dusting every week all by himself with a POMERANIAN. I could knit a little baby onesie with all the fur it shed this year alone). The mom has honestly been improving, but her mobility is so limited that her menial tasks take up 15 minutes every hour of his free time
And his dad is the breadwinner of the house that works from home, so it's natural that he... also tells my bf to do things (that he is able to do himself), like putting a mattress pad on his own bed. Or letting the dogs out when he's literally seated by the back door. Or waking my bf up when he wakes up to go to work (at 5am) just to make him feed the dogs (since middle school! 5-6 hours of sleep is the norm for him at his own house)
~~~
Ive been staying at my bf's house some days to help them out in emergencies. In fact, ive potty trained the 2 year old (now 3 year old) pom after about 3 weeks of excrement-filled night terrors. She is the sweetest little thing that wont bark unless theres intruders...
Which means the dad doesn't know when the hell to let her out. He puts in no effort to put them on a schedule DESPITE being the only one in the house during the daytime.
During work hours its okay because he has them corraled in his work room. But as soon as he takes a break in the living room, he zones out on the couch with whatever game or movie he's watching. His work, having constant meetings from 5am to around 11am, is not the problem.
He would literally take them out to pee at his lunch break at 11am and not even check on them until my bf gets home. At that point, just put them in the kennel! But he'd rather they be laying all around the living room or cuddling up to him on the couch. Suddenly, when my bf comes home, there's a puddle right outside the door! Who'da thunk?
Doesnt play with them. Doesnt remember to take them out aside from 1) after their 5am meal and 2) when he remembers to eat a snack/breakfast).
Yet he still wants them to roam around like theyre not just fluffy accessories at this point. Hell, if the game/show is really good, he will forget to feed them altogether and TELL MY BF to do it when he gets back (2.5 hours after their feeding time.... 4 shitstains and 2 pee puddles later. Several occasions). No arthritis or debilitating conditions either; he's just lazy.
The worst thing is that he pretends that she's not trained because she has "puppy brain". Sir, that dog is over 3 years old (vet confirmed). She'd be a grown adult with a partner and a mortgage on a small house in the outskirts of Mississippi if she were a human. Stop calling her dumb just because you wont do the bare minimum
And he totally ignores when she walks her happy ass to the door when i say "outside," and she needs to pee. I LITERALLY DID THE HARD WORK. YOU JUST NEED TO SAY A PHRASE EVERY HOUR OR SO. And every day he cares for her is another little bit of my training being flushed down the toilet. Just like my sanity these past few months.
And if it were not for my bf, they would just LEAVE THE SHIT AND PISS THERE TO DRY AND ATTRACT ANTS. He stayed at my apartment for like 3 days and there was....
1) shit by the front door (they have a puppy door to prevent them from going there) 2) a COMPLETELY DRY piss puddle under a solid wood chair by the back door. Complete with that wrinkly, hairy looking debris that you get with piss on tile. 3) 3 SEPARATE instances of poop. One had a 2 foot long snail trail that was connected by some sort of hair??? DISGUSTING. How could you not pick that up. 4) a freshly pissed puddle by the back door. According to the tile length, about 1 foot by 1 foot in diameter. IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS
And absolutely no intent on training the dogs either themselves or with a trainer š¤
I swear to dog all these bad dog owners have in common are their laziness and excuses. Plus a dash of weaponized incompetence. Anyone else have experience with a good dog but terrible owner? Just like with kids, i feel like they'd thrive if they lived in a better home.
Tl;dr Why leave the š¶ dogs OUT of theškennel as someone who š„ works from š home? Because the š© poop and šµpee stains give the house šcharacterš and we get our money's worth out of our son-maid š„°
And sorry if the post was too long š

2024.05.16 01:49 Sketch2000 Identifying Stocks to Swing or Day Trade using Stock Screeners and other questions
Hi,
New to the forum.
New to trading.
I would like to start swing trading and have been watching videos (You tube), reading articles, and posts from forums for help.
I am currently using Finviz and have several presets for my screens. These presets are recommendations from other traders and You tube. I currently have presets for my screener for - Growth, Mid Growth, Short, Breakthru, and more... I have created a document with all my settings for the screener. As I continue to find new and useful presets or settings I add them to the document.
From what I have gathered, using a screener helps you identify stocks in accordance with your "search criteria" and/or "settings" that you can then further analyze to potentially trade.
This is usually done by running your screener (with settings specific to what you are looking for) and then doing technical analysis on the stock (charting, valuation, fundamentals, news, etc.)
Obviously, doing other research whether it be through reading forums, watching the news, studying business and trends and more needs to be involved in this.
Questions -
1) What am I looking for after running the screener?
Currently, when I look at each stock individually, I am looking for trends in the way the stock moves, in addition to resistance etc.
2) How can I screen for stocks that have GAPS (stock that have tended to fluctuate frequently)?
These are the stocks I can swing trade. I know there is a setting on the Finviz screener, but I have yet to use it in any of my presets.
3) How can I run the screener to show me how a stock performs each day during the week?
To basically pull charting and open and close data for a specific day (so I can have all open and close and charting data for every day of the week to look for trends etc.)
This may not be a splendid example (stock wise) but "HOLO" today - was at 2.70 and its previous close was 3.23.
Which tells you that yesterday it was at 3.23 at market close.
Today, it opened at "x" during pre-market and traded during the day.
This example is more like day trading, but these stocks could be held longer than a few days and sell for a profit even if it is a small one.
Today I submitted my first orders for "extended hours" (in the pre-market) - they did NOT execute but if they did I would have gotten into some positions at a very low cost, I could hold until it increases and sell it - even at the end of the day (for a short profit).
As for now I do not know any other way to get an order to execute other than submitting after regular hours on Schwab (my brokerage). They do advise there is no guarantee it will execute. But if that is the case how do all "these people" get in during the pre-market??
First come first serve??
Not sure what the tax implications are or requirements are for day trading, but if I was to buy (again, sorry for using this stock as an example) 1000 shares of HOLO at 2.70 it would cost me $2700, if it closed at 3.23 (and I sold it) I would end up with $3200 - a profit of $500.
Now, obviously not all stocks perform like this and there are many reasons why this stock performs the way it does.
4) Is there any way to see how a stock is trading PRE-MARKET using the screener?
The biggest thing I am looking for are GAPS in stocks from premarket to close of day or just gaps in general that the screener can find.
Thanks for reading.

Iāve noticed a lot of white people upset about this, moreso for their hatred and disrespect of black people than any care for Asian representation.
Iāve noticed those types view Japan as this untainted, anti-woke ethnostate and get more upset over anything they perceive as āWokeā in it than the Japanese themselves. They love anime, but hate actual Asians, unless itās an Asian woman of course.. they love her but hate her at the same time. š¤·šæāāļø
Iād like your opinions on this. How do asian men, particularly Japanese and Japanese American men, feel about Yasuke being the protagonist of the new AC game in place of a Japanese man.

2024.05.16 01:44 imz72 World's first simulated telerobotic surgery performed for stroke
Remote surgery showcased in Abu Dhabi could be future of healthcare, experts say
Pioneering procedure could offer a lifeline against the rising tide of people suffering from strokes
Shireena Al Nowais
May 15, 2024
A glimpse into the future of health care was offered on Wednesday when a doctor in Abu Dhabi remotely simulated surgery on a stroke victim in Korea.
The procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain using a remote-controlled robotic system was demonstrated at Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week.
An audience watched the procedure on a big screen as Dr Vitor Mendes Pereira controlled robotic wires to simulate surgery 7,000km away, replicating the procedure to treat stroke victims.
Dr Pereira, director of Endovascular Research and Innovation at St Michaelās Hospital in Toronto, Canada, said: āWhile it may be a few years until such technology is introduced, the potential is monumental and could save thousands of lives.
āThis is a concept that we hope will become a reality soon. I confirmed that I can control a robotic arm 7,000km away.ā
There were times, he said, during the procedure that he forgot he was so far away from the patient.
The procedure has the potential to revolutionise how stroke victims are treated, he added.
Growing number of stroke victims
Each year, 15 million people globally suffer a stroke, with five million of those dying as a result and a similar figure left permanently disabled, according to the most recent report from the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The number of stroke victims is only likely to increase due to the world's ageing population, the report warned.
Most stroke victims need urgent specialist treatment that is only available in certain hospitals, added Dr Pereira.
āIf we can deploy the robotic arms into the hospitals that are close to where the patients are and save their transportation time, lives will be saved,ā he said.
āWhen a patient has a stroke, every minute counts.ā
The simulated surgery was completed in a matter of minutes on Wednesday, with Dr Pereira using a microcatheter to re-enact the procedure to remove a clot from a blood vessel in the brain.
The procedure to remove the clot is known as mechanical thrombectomy, a treatment that is not widely available.
āThe majority of humanity does not have access to this treatment,ā said Eduardo Fonseca, chief executive of XCath, the firm behind the technology.
āAnd even those that do, do not get there in time and the procedure is incredibly time-sensitive. So this brings together a problem that can be solved by endovascular telerobotics. ā
Worldwide household income losses due to premature death or disability from strokes is $576 billion, according to the most recent figures available from the World Stroke Organisation (WSO).
The same report said the number of people having strokes had increased by 70 per cent in the past three decades, while the number of people living with strokes worldwide has shot up by 85 per cent.
A person living in a low-income country was likely to have their first stroke when they were 15 years younger than their wealthier counterparts, the same study said.
Another expert said the procedure demonstrated on Wednesday is a vital step towards reducing the number of lives affected by strokes.
āThis pioneering achievement is not just a first, but a crucial stepping stone towards regulatory and industry support, ultimately leading to widespread acceptance and adoption,ā said Dr Fred Moll, founder of Intuitive Surgical, a company specialising in robotic surgery.
"In the field of endovascular care, particularly in stroke treatment where every minute counts, this technology holds transformative potential."
The use of advanced technology was the theme of this week's healthcare conference in Abu Dhabi.
An AI-powered chest X-ray for tuberculosis (TB) was showcased by M42, a tech health firm based in the emirate.
The technology, which was tested at screening centres for visas in the emirate, was said to reduce radiologists' workloads by up to 80 per cent while not missing any cases of TB.

Doctor in UAE, treatment 7,000km away in Korea: World's first public telerobotic surgery trial performed for stroke
The first clinical case can be expected to be performed next year following the regulatory approvals
by Ashwani Kumar
Published: Wed 15 May 2024
Giving a sneak peek into what the future of healthcare holds, a live telerobotic surgery trial for emergency stroke treatment was successfully performed by a doctor in Abu Dhabi on a model about 7,000km away in Seoul, South Korea.
The groundbreaking achievement was demonstrated by XCath ā an early-stage medical device company dedicated to expanding endovascular treatment robotic systems and owned in part by Sharjah-based Crescent Enterprises.
During the last day of Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week (ADGHW), hosted by the Abu Dhabi Department of Health (DoH), Dr Vitor Mendes Pereira, an experienced neurosurgeon performed a mechanical thrombectomy procedure ā a timely removal of blood clots from the brain after a stroke, on a simulated patient. During the public presentation, Dr Pereira, in a matter of few minutes, went through the arteries of the āpatientā and pulled out a blood clot that would cause the stroke.

āWe performed the worldās first telerobotic mechanical thrombectomy trial, where we simulated a model of a patient, not a real patient, with our neuro-endovascular robot based in South Korea, 7,000km away from the surgeonās console here in Abu Dhabi,ā Eduardo Fonseca, CEO of XCath, told Khaleej Times after the demonstration.
āDr Vitor Pereira, the neurosurgeon who performed the worldās first neurovascular robotic procedure (in 2019), controlled and performed a successful removal of a clot using solely telerobotic means,ā Fonseca said about Dr Pereira, who is the director of Endovascular Research and Innovation at St Michaelās Hospital, University of Toronto, Canada.
Cutting-edge robotic surgery
Dr Pereira performed the robotic operation using a robotic controller, while the silicone model and the bedside unit were situated in Seoul. The neurovascular devices used were Stryker AXS Infinity LS, Trevo Trakb21, and Trevo NXT. Communication between the robotic controller and the bedside unit used the standard conference Ethernet connection with the possibility of 5G redundancy, rather than dedicated lines. The latency experienced during the procedure ranged from 153 milliseconds to 170 milliseconds, with an average latency of 160 milliseconds.
āThis treatment is time-sensitive. Every minute that a patient does not get this treatment equates to almost 2 million brain cells lost,ā Fonseca said and noted how only a small percentage of patients from the developed world have access to treatment like mechanical thrombectomy. However, the use of robotics will bring medical care closer to patients in even underdeveloped and remote places of the world.
āOur vision is for this technology to be able to democratise care to this new miraculous treatment, and be able to save patients' lives by allowing care to be closer to them,ā Fonseca said and underlined that strokes are the leading cause of death and disability in the world with 15 million patients, 6.6 million deaths, and 50 per cent of stroke survivors left chronically disabled.

Fonseca revealed that the first clinical case can be expected to be performed next year following the regulatory approvals, but it will be a long process.

Pioneering procedure could offer a lifeline against the rising tide of people suffering from strokes
Shireena Al Nowais
May 15, 2024
A glimpse into the future of health care was offered on Wednesday when a doctor in Abu Dhabi remotely simulated surgery on a stroke victim in Korea.
The procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain using a remote-controlled robotic system was demonstrated at Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week.
An audience watched the procedure on a big screen as Dr Vitor Mendes Pereira controlled robotic wires to simulate surgery 7,000km away, replicating the procedure to treat stroke victims.
Dr Pereira, director of Endovascular Research and Innovation at St Michaelās Hospital in Toronto, Canada, said: āWhile it may be a few years until such technology is introduced, the potential is monumental and could save thousands of lives.
āThis is a concept that we hope will become a reality soon. I confirmed that I can control a robotic arm 7,000km away.ā
There were times, he said, during the procedure that he forgot he was so far away from the patient.
The procedure has the potential to revolutionise how stroke victims are treated, he added.
Growing number of stroke victims
Each year, 15 million people globally suffer a stroke, with five million of those dying as a result and a similar figure left permanently disabled, according to the most recent report from the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The number of stroke victims is only likely to increase due to the world's ageing population, the report warned.
Most stroke victims need urgent specialist treatment that is only available in certain hospitals, added Dr Pereira.
āIf we can deploy the robotic arms into the hospitals that are close to where the patients are and save their transportation time, lives will be saved,ā he said.
āWhen a patient has a stroke, every minute counts.ā
The simulated surgery was completed in a matter of minutes on Wednesday, with Dr Pereira using a microcatheter to re-enact the procedure to remove a clot from a blood vessel in the brain.
The procedure to remove the clot is known as mechanical thrombectomy, a treatment that is not widely available.
āThe majority of humanity does not have access to this treatment,ā said Eduardo Fonseca, chief executive of XCath, the firm behind the technology.
āAnd even those that do, do not get there in time and the procedure is incredibly time-sensitive. So this brings together a problem that can be solved by endovascular telerobotics. ā
Worldwide household income losses due to premature death or disability from strokes is $576 billion, according to the most recent figures available from the World Stroke Organisation (WSO).
The same report said the number of people having strokes had increased by 70 per cent in the past three decades, while the number of people living with strokes worldwide has shot up by 85 per cent.
A person living in a low-income country was likely to have their first stroke when they were 15 years younger than their wealthier counterparts, the same study said.
Another expert said the procedure demonstrated on Wednesday is a vital step towards reducing the number of lives affected by strokes.
āThis pioneering achievement is not just a first, but a crucial stepping stone towards regulatory and industry support, ultimately leading to widespread acceptance and adoption,ā said Dr Fred Moll, founder of Intuitive Surgical, a company specialising in robotic surgery.
"In the field of endovascular care, particularly in stroke treatment where every minute counts, this technology holds transformative potential."
The use of advanced technology was the theme of this week's healthcare conference in Abu Dhabi.
An AI-powered chest X-ray for tuberculosis (TB) was showcased by M42, a tech health firm based in the emirate.
The technology, which was tested at screening centres for visas in the emirate, was said to reduce radiologists' workloads by up to 80 per cent while not missing any cases of TB.

The first clinical case can be expected to be performed next year following the regulatory approvals

Published: Wed 15 May 2024
Giving a sneak peek into what the future of healthcare holds, a live telerobotic surgery trial for emergency stroke treatment was successfully performed by a doctor in Abu Dhabi on a model about 7,000km away in Seoul, South Korea.
The groundbreaking achievement was demonstrated by XCath ā an early-stage medical device company dedicated to expanding endovascular treatment robotic systems and owned in part by Sharjah-based Crescent Enterprises.
During the last day of Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week (ADGHW), hosted by the Abu Dhabi Department of Health (DoH), Dr Vitor Mendes Pereira, an experienced neurosurgeon performed a mechanical thrombectomy procedure ā a timely removal of blood clots from the brain after a stroke, on a simulated patient. During the public presentation, Dr Pereira, in a matter of few minutes, went through the arteries of the āpatientā and pulled out a blood clot that would cause the stroke.

āWe performed the worldās first telerobotic mechanical thrombectomy trial, where we simulated a model of a patient, not a real patient, with our neuro-endovascular robot based in South Korea, 7,000km away from the surgeonās console here in Abu Dhabi,ā Eduardo Fonseca, CEO of XCath, told Khaleej Times after the demonstration.
āDr Vitor Pereira, the neurosurgeon who performed the worldās first neurovascular robotic procedure (in 2019), controlled and performed a successful removal of a clot using solely telerobotic means,ā Fonseca said about Dr Pereira, who is the director of Endovascular Research and Innovation at St Michaelās Hospital, University of Toronto, Canada.
Cutting-edge robotic surgery
Dr Pereira performed the robotic operation using a robotic controller, while the silicone model and the bedside unit were situated in Seoul. The neurovascular devices used were Stryker AXS Infinity LS, Trevo Trakb21, and Trevo NXT. Communication between the robotic controller and the bedside unit used the standard conference Ethernet connection with the possibility of 5G redundancy, rather than dedicated lines. The latency experienced during the procedure ranged from 153 milliseconds to 170 milliseconds, with an average latency of 160 milliseconds.
āThis treatment is time-sensitive. Every minute that a patient does not get this treatment equates to almost 2 million brain cells lost,ā Fonseca said and noted how only a small percentage of patients from the developed world have access to treatment like mechanical thrombectomy. However, the use of robotics will bring medical care closer to patients in even underdeveloped and remote places of the world.
āOur vision is for this technology to be able to democratise care to this new miraculous treatment, and be able to save patients' lives by allowing care to be closer to them,ā Fonseca said and underlined that strokes are the leading cause of death and disability in the world with 15 million patients, 6.6 million deaths, and 50 per cent of stroke survivors left chronically disabled.
"Itās an immense burden on healthcare systems worldwide. To put that into perspective, 0.6 per cent of the worldās GDP, at $721 billion a year, is spent on dealing with stroke survivors."
Fonseca revealed that the first clinical case can be expected to be performed next year following the regulatory approvals, but it will be a long process.
āWeāre aware that every day that this technology is not available and democratised around the world, is potentially 1,000s of lives that could be saved. We are working incredibly hard to make this clinical reality,ā Fonseca noted.

2024.05.16 01:44 AnotherSexyBaldGuy Book recommendation needed
I picked up the Jewish Annotated New Testament for reference during my studies. There a lots of references to the Dead Sea Scrolls, but I am having a difficult time trying to find an English translation of the DSS.
Also, I was reading through the Oxford Companion to the Bible about SIN. There too it gave a reference for: 1QS IV 20-23. I think I figured out that it means, Serek Hayahad/ Rule of Community Qumran Cave 1. I would like to look these up, but I'm not getting very far.
When it comes to SIN the OCTB states in one area, ".. the Dead Sea Scrolls and other post biblical Jewish literature speak of sin less as an individual deed than as a power that governs people and drives their conduct, "Wickedness". I would like to read more about this, but where?
Can someone recommend a resource where I can read the DSS in English, read 1 QS IV 20-23, and see the evolution of "Sin" in post biblical literature.
Thanks.

2024.05.16 01:44 ihatesleeping58008 Unpopular opinion: S5 was a filler season
So, I was rewatching GG for like the 8th time (been binge watching since 2020!!) and every year I watch it, I always feel like i get a new perspective of.. well everything?? Iām currently in S5 and honestly other than the vow renewal, luke and lorelaiās relationship and the whole dramatic end to the season with roryā¦ I always felt this season was just full of random and filler stuff šfor example that whole twickam house episode or we donāt even get to see much of rory in her classes unlike S4. I wish we got more of that and not just random drama plotlines. Just my opinion though!!

I always assumed if you won the point, you serve again. But I was watching the Fritz Italian Open match today and the same player served for the entire game.
Sorry if this is a rookie question lol. Iām still fairly new to the sport.

2024.05.16 01:42 Dull-Date-9313 dont know what to do anymore
Sorry this is so long but i would appreciate it if you read it.
I'm new here and i dont even know where to start. reddit is the absolute last place i would ever come to say something but i have given up all hope at this point. for context, i'm 15f and have never had any history with mental health issues. it started all fairly recently in like February. i dont even know where to begin. i have many friends and everyone thinks that im so funny but honestly i truly hate myself and this world. i've never told anyone about my problems, not even my parents, but they know i cry a lot. they always ask me whats going on, if its anything at school, if its a guy, or if im getting bullied, but its truly none of that. my problem is that every single day is the same exact thing but while everyone is living it im just simply here existing. i know that i am capable of so much more than this but i feel so trapped in this life where im just supposed to go to school, do my sports and my homework and im not allowed to be just mentally exhausted by the end of it. and yes, i know everyone has this problem and this is just how life works but i honestly i guess im too weak or something and just cant handle it. i feel vulnerable talking about this all so just stay with me. i feel like people think im someone who im really not, and in their defense i dont show anyone the real me. i just act stupid for laughs so naturally everyone thinks im just an idiot. i dont feel smart but at the same time i know i also could be, and honestly wish i was. i dont want my life now to define me and who i am. off topic but i also wish i was prettier. im skinny and got bullied a lot for it but really never cared. ive always never really cared about what people think, and around my friends im an extremely confident person. ive never had a bf but ive also never needed one, and i dont find purpose in dating in my generation, i think im too young and id look for someone who deeply understands me. ive never cared about what a guy has thought of me, or what anyone has for that matter. ive never cared about anything until recently and have been feeling extra numb lately. i know i need purpose in life but im sick of trying to figure out who im truly meant to be and what im "destined" to do. ik, sounds cliche. i just want to be who i am when im alone. recently everything has gotten worse. ive tried so hard to fix it, but ive lost all motivation. i like to learn new stuff, so ive just been doing that. i never liked to read but ive started that lately. ive also eaten healthier and worked out because i thought it would make me feel better. i took a break from all of that lately because im just too tired to do it and have doubts about it fixing anything. i just wish i was perfect and actually happy. ive started to isolate myself from everyone and just stay in my room and cry, watch something, or be alone. many of my friends have asked me to hang out recently and every time i blew them off saying i was busy when really i needed to be alone. i dont want to lose them, they make me laugh and forget about my problems but a lot of the time, especially my closer ones. i really do love some of them, the ones who i can truly be myself around, the ones who dont judge me. ive never confided in them about my problems because i feel too vulnerable, and im also just afraid of pushing them away. i dont want this to define me because its not who i am at all, i just think im just too mentally drained. i would blame everything on my phone but my screen times only a few hours, although i have come to realize i am slightly addicted and rely on it a lot. i guess my main point is: i just feel like lots of things in life are inevitable and i cant truly fix whats going on, even though ive tried. a lot of the time i cry because i know that tomorrow is going to be just like today. im sick of living in this simulation and just want to be happy. lately, ive been losing hope and dont know if i can do it anymore. there are many reasons i dont want to die, but many more reasons i do. i dont even want to kill myself, i just want this period to end. I dont think my life is awful, in fact, i have a really nice life for the most part. i just cant escape the thoughts, and i dont want my "mental health problems" to define me. i want a future. i want to live in a nice house with a nice husband and beautiful kids, but i just know its not going to work. i just have no idea what to do from here.
i dont expect anyone to read this and honestly just came on here to say something. ive come on here to read things and honestly it looks like a lot of people are in the same position as me, a surprising amount.
maybe i just need to wait for summer

2024.05.16 01:39 hazelnut_milktea My cat vomited 3 times today, last time with a plastic label
New cat owner, freaking out so much, any help is greatly appreciated! I adopted my cat two weeks ago, heās been adjusting to the new home but behaving fine. Today however I came home to two piles of vomit on the floor, just the usual furball / digested food kind so I thought nothing of it. He ate some dry food as I cleaned, and I left him alone for 15-20 minutes to cook.
When I came back heās thrown up again, but this time with pretty much entirely undigested dry food, and a small orange plastic label. He didnāt seem to be in pain or anything when I came home so this was so unexpected. I really have no idea what to do and am freaking out, is there anything I should be watching for or doing, and should I take him to a pet urgent care tonight or watch to see if he throws up again tomorrow??
Edit: heās a 1+ year old neutered British shorthair, no health issues as far as Iām aware, vaccines all up to date, never thrown up before today

Just started last week or so as an OFA. There are some issues that I see already. My store in my opinion is under staffed. There are multiple times in the day where the service desk (millwork for an example) is vacant. Also I am new so I donāt really know how to page and the handheld is useless when you donāt have an extension. Also just because I wear my apron people assume that Iām a master of whatever āprojectsā they are doing. Had a rude customer get upset at me the other day because I was shadowing a coworker while he was helping a customer. The guy said āwhatās it take two people to help one customer? I need some serviceā when he said it and how he said it ruined my day. There are also times where I am constantly pulled to do something all while Iām picking a BOPIS. Items are not the easiest either. Thereās been multiple instances where the product is not where it says it is or the price of the item is different. Iām constantly called up front to help with pulling an orde helping loading the product into someoneās vehicle. I know that we are timed when picking. I spent at least 15 mins looking for a specific washer. The fact that I donāt have any licenses for equipment also makes my job harder. Itās hard to find someone to help with a team lift. The labels for the location is confusing even for me. Itās a lot of walking but I need to because of my weight. The co workers are cool and chill. But it can be a demanding job already. I was thrown into the wolves and had yesterday by myself and today for a little while. I canāt see myself doing this job for no more than a year. Not saying itās a bad company. Just that there so many flaws from day to day and I am new and see them. Lastly I would like to mention this older lady stopped me from doing a task and rambled on about āa product that wasnāt an arm and a leg for ant trapsā I pointed a few out but she was just picking at my brain. As I was watching her face to show that I was listening to what she was saying, she had both sides corner of her mouth with that white stuff that accumulates I guess when someone has dry mouth. I kept staring at her lips. Then finally she licked the left side of her mouth and literally took the substance from her corner and it went on her tongue. It was pretty disgusting but I understand that sheās a human being. So I guess we get all different walks of life in our store. Sorry for the long post but I knew that I wanted to post my thoughts on Reddit. Thanks for readingā¦..

2024.05.16 01:38 byequentin Extension for typescript in nodejs
Hello, I was watching a video on YouTube about Nodejs and I noticed that the author of the video did not have the '@types/node' package installed but that the editor still gave him the options to complement the code.
Does anyone know if there is a tool or extension that performs the same function without having to install the package in each new project?

2024.05.16 01:36 objectivelemur Is duophinic possible?
I'm fairly new to synths and music production in general and I watched a video of Miles Kvdra breaking down how he made Dune for reference I've linked the video.
In his breakdown he mentioned the moog sub 25 had a duophonic mode and I've been trying to emulate that in serum. Is that even possible or will I have to make two tracks essentially? Thanks in advance

2024.05.16 01:36 BackgroundSquirrel18 She Still Wonāt Admit it, and probably never will.
So, like many of us in this Reddit space are here to share stories from a time when we were naĆÆve and probably convinced we were with our soulmate. at the timing of the end of this relationship, I was 23 (m) she was 22 (f). We really were only together for about a year and a half. However, there was some history between us that encouraged us to get together in the first place after our previous relationships. We knew each other for about five years at the time we got together. And we got together very fast after fairly lengthy relationships. The thing is, she had an apartment and her ex moved out. I kind of slowly started staying around a lot after he moved out and about 6-7 months into the relationship we moved in together into a new apartment and everything up to that point was so amazing.
I was very acclimated with her family. She wasnāt very much acclimated with mine actually. There was a dog in the middle that we had but it was technically her dog, but that dog does love me so much and I miss that dog so much now. Very skittish dog and the love was very apparent when I was around because I basically took a lot of responsibilities and taking care of the dog from the second I started being around. Now to the actual point of where this leads toā¦
So this year January, she broke up with me. It was very apparent, and there were writings on the wall that the spark was kind of gone and it was just hard to be around each other. Very ironic, but probably some type of psychological explanation because I swear I had so many opportunities to talk to new woman, but I valued loyalty more than anything to her and wanted to make things work no matter how hard. The next thing you know, she is noticeably, distant, asking for space and very hostile all the time. I kept telling her hey why do I just feel like your roommate and not your boyfriend anymore? you know I never had thought of anything suspicious from her side because I was convinced that she loves me. Sheās basically had a crush on me you know since we were very young, as I said five years before we even got together she had a thing for me.
Now there were some crisis stages of living together where I am actively learning about God in my life and trying to place God as the pedestal for the way that I live my life, and those values differed. But at the end of the day, I accepted our differences and wanted to make it work, but it was very hard and I didnāt really see the sacrifices. She was willing to make for me. Now by no means was I perfect. I had a lot of flaws when it came to dealings with certain things and maybe not being reassuring in the ways that I was supposed to. However, my love for her was through the roof. Sheās made me feel like nobody else ever has in my life and before her I was in a four-year relationship. So fast-forward, she breaks up with me on the same day that actually bought a new car (paid cash) which is something I thought she would be very excited for me about because my old car was a piece of junk and we usually took her car around. And I told her and she was absolutely expressionless.
As soon as that was the case, I was in a very dark state immediately. Prior to this there is a few days that I was really trying to get things rolling and some positive way between us and again it was just a matter where the spark was gone and she didnāt really want anything to do with me and it was making me so sad and frustrated. After I came home telling her that I bought a new car and she didnāt respond I start questioning her on a whole Lotta things and eventually she spills out that she no longer has feelings for me and says weāre broken up. Immediately, Iām in shambles. I think it was a Tuesday and the next day was a Wednesday where we normally spent all of our time together. Iām crying all night. I sleep in a separate room and see you was just quiet. The next Wednesday she goes out doesnāt really say anything and this is what was the hardest part. The person that I loved more than anyone in the world basically just stopped telling me anything and sharing anything with me.
She leaves the next morning. I tried to pull information out of her for her to tell me she was going apartment touring. That broke me as well. There was about 10 weeks left on the lease. I couldnāt even begin to think about that. However, I have to plead with her to keep her location on because Iām concerned about her and I still admittedly loved her, and all I wanted to do was reconcile and try to find a place of comfort. And her location she turned it off and turned it on and then it was like kind of weird on my phone, but eventually, I was basically stalking her because I was that insecure. She goes to one place and then another place and sheās gone all day and doesnāt tell me a thing. There is a place that she went to that confused me but I guess I excused it because she said she was apartment touring but it didnāt really make a lot of sense. This one place later on becomes an an answer to me. I talked to my family and friends and they basically accused her of cheating and I wasnāt having it because I couldnāt handle any more pain honestly.
Fast forward, though for the next two months basically we still live together and she was still being very secretive and Iām still hurting more and more. It was a very traumatic experience to just watch this girl I love change and be so different around me and I couldnāt feel any different way. It was really affecting me on a daily basis every single day and night. And thatās because I was admittedly, too emotionally dependent on her. it became very apparent that she was basically seeing someone else and wouldnāt fess up to it so quickly however this person wasnāt a boyfriend according to her because she wanted to be single. But sheās not coming back overnight, so Iām like where are you sleeping? She says donāt worry about it. Iām doing everything around the apartment. Iām taking care of the dog that itās technically hers that I love a lot yes but you know. Sometimes she would come back and we would still often sleep in the same bed because I couldnāt sleep on the couch because that would just be very physically uncomfortable for me.
She was doing this and again I just had to live with it mind you sheās also told me some things like hey I believe in the right person wrong time idea and I still love you . It only gave me hope but it also put me through so much more pain as well. So just from a matter of how fast she was moving on to seeing another guy I feel like that shouldāve been a key indicator, but I kept asking her if she cheated on me. She never said she did. I tried my absolute best to believe her every time. She also got approved for an apartment and had a roommate with some person who I didnāt really trust in the past, but I see now that that person is not significant in why the relationship broke. However, something that I have yet to mention is that she never really told a single person about our break up not family or friends. I wouldnāt have survived if I can tell no one because I was just going through it. You know I think this traumatic phase in my life and itās making me realize that I think I have ADHD too.
Anyways, she was basically slowly moving out while I had my attempts to move out to a new place that kind of failed. I moved back in with my parents because of the roommate dependency of other people wasnāt working too well. Mind, you still pretty much through our time continuing to live together while I am deeply scarred and depressed. I am still actively trying to reconcile the relationship in someway. I was basically reflecting on everything that I did wrong and trying to better it while I was still living with her. That and I was just doing so many nice things like making all her meals and doing so many nice things for the dog buying things here and there. I was acting as a complete Simp believe me I hated it, but I missed her. At the same time I did not hate it though because I genuinely like doing things for other people and she was my outlet for that often.
Nonetheless, towards the end of the time before she moved out officially this is a part where I found out she cheated on me. There was about two weeks left on the lease or so. Quick note because I forgot to mention that we stopped having sex probably for a good amount of time and a red flag that I couldnāt overlook is the fact that she said she needed sex where I didnāt feel as I always desired it because it should be sacred. This couldāve very well been the nail in the coffin for her. Even though so many other things were good in my opinion she and I did not share the same values..
So we both wake up, she has an appointment to be at in the morning. I make food in the morning and I offered some. She takes a shower and gets changed in the bedroom. She left her phone in the bathroom unlocked and I looked through with major hesitation. Text showed nothing but then I showed that flo app (where women track their period and when they have sex)ā¦ my heart caught on fire. To see the amount of times she was having sex and also before we broke up, hurt me so bad but not as bad as I thought it would at the same time. I couldnāt look much further honestly, but I got my answer and I had to research to make sure I was looking at that correctly. I then questioned her, she would not admit and basically decided to move out that night, officially which put me in a pretty tough spot because she took the Internet.
Iām a big person on faith Iāve kept in touch with her somewhat and Iām doing my absolute best to forgive her. But I definitely cannot forget. Whatās weird is that after we officially moved out the apartment and everything together she started sharing her location with me on Snapchat. Mind you I have a suspicion of who she was cheating on me with because I was investigating you know. Iām definitely more handsome and charismatic. I now notice her go to the same place she went to the day after we broke up pretty often. Itās not where she lives. Itās pretty close to her work. Do the math. I have tried to talk to her a few times about this topic and she certainly gets uncomfortable every time it is brought up. I just wanted it told from her for my closure, but I guess I donāt need it.
But yeah, that experience, especially living together after the break up was not fun and I donāt recommend it for anyone. I wouldnāt put my worst enemy through that. The lesson that i learned is that it can take two to build something great but only one to destroy it. Therefore, build something great on your own. Someone will be waiting there when youāre done.

2024.05.16 01:35 TheTravelingLeftist The Diamond Cup: My Vision For MLB's Version of the FA Cup
 | This is the Reddit version of a blog entry I made a few days ago submitted by TheTravelingLeftist to mlb [link] [comments] So what if Major League Baseball decided to create a tournament similar to what we see in European soccer? Can you imagine the possibilities, can you imagine how much fun it could be seeing these smaller teams having their shot at taking on the top-tier professionals even if its just for a couple games a year? Can you imagine seeing geographical and historic rivalries at a tournament level before we even make it to the playoffs? Best of all, how great would it be to have a summer-long tournament running alongside the ongoing regular season? Hear me out, because I think this setup could improve baseball, expand baseball, and even potentially punish those select franchises who constantly coast on the revenue sharing without trying to compete every season (looking at you Marlins). Under the new Minor League Baseball setup, we now have a more fixed and organized number of teams operating across the United States in Canada. Iām not a fan of some of these changes and subtractions, but that conversation is for another day. But now, we have essentially all professional baseball leagues under the watchful eye of Major League Baseball and just about an even distribution of minor league teams under the umbrellas of the professional teams representing them. But what if we had a scenario in which we got them all to participate in a tournament that not only allows more areas of the country to experience MLB, but also with added incentives that could see a small delegation/promotion threat to teams that are constantly tanking? Here is my barebones proposal for the Diamond Cup hosted by MLB: Numbers of Teams Participating: 224 Number of Divisions: 14, with 16 Teams in Each Division Selection Process: Randomized and Televised Lottery System with at least two MLB and AAA teams in each division. Divisions are unveiled during MLB Playoffs on previous year. Number of Games in the Opening Round: 15, Every Team in Division Plays Each Other Once When are Games Played: Opening Round----from April through July every Wednesday/Thursday (Depending on Schedule/Weather); Tournament-----from August to Early September with games every Saturday/Sunday (Depending on Schedule/Weather) Do the Games Count Towards Regular Season?: No, also in a perfect world the tourney would happen after regular season is cut by 15-30 games to give the scheduling some space. How Many Teams Advance to the Tournament Bracket: 30 (14 Division Winners, 16 Wild Cards, 2 Best Teams get First Round Bye) Tournament Setup: Winner-Take-All every round. Semifinals and Championship Game happens on Labor Day Weekend Venue: Semifinals and Championship Game @ City hosting the All-Star Game that year. https://preview.redd.it/spj4dvrpco0d1.png?width=713&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e75943e8ef3796adce04866e90a8a5e81416601 https://preview.redd.it/mxxn9bhrco0d1.png?width=713&format=png&auto=webp&s=e918946d1428bda3990291f2c451d6c625f4ed43 https://preview.redd.it/d0al3jfsco0d1.png?width=713&format=png&auto=webp&s=34d2f1eac66f85f9c5afdda3f9032a9da29cbad1 https://preview.redd.it/3gg7c2zsco0d1.png?width=795&format=png&auto=webp&s=b0340b9e0e0fd5a54906da4dc3275c86fd63d557 Here is the fun part, the incentives. There is a million dollar prize for every player and coach on the winning team, with the runner-up team earning $250,000. Who is going to be mad at that? Especially the bench players or those still on rookie deals. Now, the additional prize will depend on who actually wins.
But look at the FA Cup, where since 1973 there have been only 3 winners from a lower-tier division, with the latest occasion happening in 1980. At the end of the day this will be an extra set of games for the MLB teams to play each other for a second pathway towards the playoffs, but at least every professional squad in America (and Canada) will have their proper shot. More importantly, this is a chance for professional baseball to be presented in far off regions all over the country, with say the New York Yankees being in same division as the Timber Rattlers, and traveling over to Appleton, Wisconsin to play a game. Conclusion: This is my version of what an FA Cup-style baseball tournament would look like. It would take place in the middle of the baseball seasons of almost all these leagues in the middle of the week, once a week until early September. This is a great chance to spread the game, offer an additional path for an MLB team to make the postseason, and of course if weāre talking business offer a great chunk of baseball content for whichever channel or streaming service would want it. Imagine offering this on YouTube streaming or Twitch, or maybe even Instagram for new audiences to enjoy. This doesnāt link to the regular season until the results are unveiled and prizes are handed out, so therefore it wouldnāt even affect the current TV contracts. I think itās a win-win for everyone involved, especially these smaller towns affected by the minor league baseball changes and infamous MLB blackouts. I know this is a grandiose pipe dream, but its one I personally would love to see implemented if I had any say whatsoever in baseballās future. |
