2023.06.01 05:29 millionaireplayboy74 Are practice tests graded differently?
I took the khan academy SAT practice test 10, and got a 1390. I only missed 8 total questions on reading and English combined, yet got a 690. I got a 740 on English and reading in test 5, where I also missed 8 total questions. Are the tests graded differently? I like to think I got a 1440 if I base it on other test scores.

2023.06.01 05:29 Glittering_Swim_4133 Misandrist with a son
I have a good relationship with my father but he cheated on my mom a ton. It destroyed her and our family. They stayed together despite countless DV cases and the rapid devolution of our home life. He recently told my WP that he cheated on my mom 16 times. Not too sure why or what brought him to share that with him; maybe he was bragging? He doesn’t know about my partner’s infidelity. My dad always spoke of women as lesser. He would throw a fit when he saw a pad or tampon wrapper in the bathroom trash. My dad’s father was even worse. I remember visiting his house as a kid to give his wife a hug, only to be taken to his AP’s house a few weeks later. I didn’t understand it then, but it’s a long line of misogyny. I have 3 older brothers who, while much more diluted, speak poorly of women as well. I always felt lesser growing up. I was very convinced I’d never allow myself to fall in love with a man because I saw what it did to my mom and even the ones who were good to me were still, well, trash.
I’ve since warily fallen in love with 3 men. The first two didn’t work out due to insignificant young love reasons. It was still a guarded love. But the third changed my entire perspective. He was the diamond in the rough. The one and only good man to walk this soil. I wrote poetry about this indescribable feeling of finally being proven wrong. I would’ve given anything for him. He was my one. Disney was right, true love existed for me for 3 short years. Those 3 years were pure bliss. We got engaged, even though I had previously told him I didn’t believe in marriage. We got pregnant, even though I had previously told him I didn’t want kids. We were getting closer and closer to being the happy little successful family I wish I could’ve had when I was young. I finally believed I could have it all.
Then, 8 months pregnant, I find out he’s just like the rest. Silly me. How dare I allow myself to believe anything other than what I’ve been shown all my life? Men are garbage. The kicker? I’m having a son.
I hope I can teach him to be someone who cares about women. Who thinks before he acts. Who thinks with his head to the north. But how can I do that? My son’s father seemed to be all those things. His mother was absolutely devastated to learn what he had done. She called her own son trash. All the men in my son’s life are not the examples I want for him.
While some of the BH on here have shown me that men can be faithful, I can’t help but feel a little bit detached from my son as I just know he’s going to hurt someone the way I was hurt. It seems inevitable.
He’s only 3 months old now and is just so darn perfect. But I have to admit my misandry was a pretty major contributing factor to my post DDay, 9 months pregnant suicide attempt. Yes, I’m in therapy. I just have’t been able to admit this to myself even. I feel like a terrible person and mother for feeling that way about my son. Guess I just wanted to get it out there somewhere.

2023.06.01 05:27 thunderjax 24 Hours Later: My thoughts on the early release.
I tried to keep this literally as brief as I could but ended up having a lot of thoughts about this game so I jotted them down. I'm not going so much into the creation/customization aspect as that's not the area of the game I focus on mainly as I just focus on gameplay, mainly due to the fact that I have the creativity of a pet rock. However, if it came down to a drawing competition the pet rock would probably win, but anyway, let's get into it:
Would I call the game unfinished or just SMB 3 give and take edition? Honestly no, could the new stadiums and "legends" have just been made DLC for 3? Absolutely, especially considering the customization from what I've heard hasn't changed all that much, but it does appear that the engine is either new or got an overhaul, but there is definitely an air of not quite being finished and to see what direction the DLC's will go in the coming months outside of the 3 stadiums that those not playing the ballpark edition will have to grab as DLC for to play peril point and the other two that are coming, it'll be interesting.
As unfortunately expected, this game has split the community, which isn't entirely unexpected. I think it gives to say that despite Metalhead's promise that there was something for everybody and the hype that came into the game, someone was going to get screwed in the process, and that appears to have been the franchise/customization crowd. Of course, there are those who had their doubts about the new game as well as those who know what EA's reputation is and wish for nothing but the absolute worst for the company with good reason (speaking as somebody who was once a battlefield player, you don't have to dig that far to find the crap they've been up to) but while I don't trust EA, considering what metalhead has been able to do despite having the expectations and now living under the EA cloud, we can only wait and see.
Would I have still bought the ballpark edition pre-order at $60 knowing it would be this, probably not, but while this game does a lot to be desired, the core of the game itself, the gameplay is still there, but I can definitely understand the frustrations coming from the community too.

- Music: Grew up with the EA Sports MVP baseball series so having licensed music was a nice surprise addition, and the fact that its not strictly leaning towards one general direction (way back when the MVP games were mostly rock-based soundtracks) is a nice touch. Having it be like an actual radio station with cut-ins and ads is weird. would've preferred without.
- UI: seems a bit clunky, especially in the menus, and some stuff isn't as easy to navigate as it was in the previous installment. They went with a different overall aesthetic, which is fine, but a lot of stuff is spread out all over the place and this really shows in the gameplay, especially on the defensive side when you have to look in multiple places for a pitcher instead of in one small box. Also having a little two-box sub-menu for changing pitchers is annoying. If you're switching from pitcher to pitcher just have it one button like in 3 and only have the sub-menu when moving a position player becomes a pitcher, which is going to be a rarity in most instances. my two cents.
- Legends: Random. Very random. Sure it's cool having greats from across eras in the game, albeit labeling them as "legends" is a bit stretched. It probably would've been better to have them in tiers, and not just the typical A, B, C, etc. but have it as pro, great, all-star, legend instead of just they're all "legends." Also for the love of all that is holy, butchering Vlad Guerrero's name on the announcement is just a cardinal sin. one of the greatest players of all time, so have some respect. And the fact that's not the only player it's happened to is...frustrating, to say the least as a fan of the game.
- Creators League: seems more so for promotional purposes and was a really random addition. It doesn't take away anything from the game but it doesn't really add anything to it either.
- Stadiums: Of course, we have all of the stadiums from 3 that crossed the yellow brick road onto 4, which for me was one of the selling points that at last every team in the regular SMB league would have its own home stadium, and the new stadiums look freaking awesome. I can't decide which one of them is my favorite, as at first glance I thought would be Whacker's Wheel with its dome and presumable hotel beyond the right field bleachers, but battery bay has grown on me a lot and made a strong impression, but the king IMO is Peril Point which is kind of an homage to Wilmington, DE and Fall River, MA with the battleships, the river, and the bridges. Also, the fact that the stadiums much like in real life have individual sound effects for after-strikeouts, runs scored, and homers is a nice touch. well done metalhead.
- Crowd Sound effects: Considering I usually play "covid style" with no crowd sounds or crowd in the stands, I haven't really dove into the crowd effects outside of my first 3 games. But the random callouts from the crowd did start to grow on me a little bit, especially the one Rudy call out talking about having a Rudy moment and doing the famous chant and then switching to "loser, loser, loser" which was hysterical. Considering all manner of random things can be heard in banter at a baseball game, at first I thought it was annoying and random but it has grown on me. Well done.
- The umps: also throwing gameplay thought down in here as well because it fits with the umps, the strike zone. I hope a patch comes for this at some point because at no point at any time should a ball at eye level be called a strike, and that's been a consistent thing that's been happening. Now onto the actual umps, the extra stuff like "that's a strike and a half my friend" or other bs, just unnecessary. I get that this game is supposed to lean more towards the cartoony aspect but that's just excessive. Just call the game, if you want to have the extra bs have it come after a big strikeout or something like in 3.
- Hitting sound effects: these feel weird and random, and I get it again leaning towards the cartoony style, as well irl sometimes you'll have balls that don't sound like they were absolutely crushed but still end up going over the wall, and vice versa, but some of the extra wooshes and flying sound effects seem unnecessary, to fill in some blank space. Albeit I will say having a ball come off the bat sounds like it was absolutely crushed and that being the case, it is extremely satisfying. when it lands right it LANDS but most of the time, just seems excessive. It may grow on me but right now, not feeling it.
- Gameplay: If you liked how the game actually played in SMB 3 when you're actually playing the game, this one feels pretty much exactly the same, its a bit smoother but some of the fielding plays feel random, especially dives on the infield where it feels a lot more like an actual risk to make a dive towards a ball, which for some people it may not be that big of a deal and it may also be pending on the ego you play at (I play at 80 ego so take that how you may) but It's not too much a dealbreaker. However, what is weird and this may just be the one time it's happened but with the walls being that high at Whacker's Wheel, it should not be possible to rob a home run with how high the player models are able to jump but it has happened once in one of my games. wtf. The traits also add a new dimension to the game as well, especially the ones that play in the field. It adds a bit of strategy to the game as to when is it time to pull the noodle arm or when is it time to pull a pitcher to make sure he isn't going to get hurt from overuse, among other angles that can be taken to.
Would I call the game unfinished or just SMB 3 give and take edition? Honestly no, could the new stadiums and "legends" have just been made DLC for 3? Absolutely, especially considering the customization from what I've heard hasn't changed all that much, but it does appear that the engine is either new or got an overhaul, but there is definitely an air of not quite being finished and to see what direction the DLC's will go in the coming months outside of the 3 stadiums that those not playing the ballpark edition will have to grab as DLC for to play peril point and the other two that are coming, it'll be interesting.

Hello and thank you for considering < Out of Focus > to be your new home! We are a semi-hardcore Mythic Progression raiding guild formed at the beginning of Shadowlands consisting of motivated players anxious to make meaningful progression together and we sincerely hope you will consider your journey dragon-riding alongside us! Though the guild was only formed last expansion those of us who started it are well versed and experienced leaders! We have raiders with CE experience, raiders who are grizzled veterans from Vanilla to now, raiders who have raid lead and organized raids from the most beloved to the floppiest of flops. I want to reassure anyone considering us to rest assured that the majority of us are dedicated raiders, players and friends who have been doing this for a long time; we have the raid leading and guild managing experience that allows us a significant advantage to be able to build an exceptional community not only for aspiring raiders but for all who step foot inside our welcoming halls.
Our typical schedule is as follows:
In addition to scheduled events, our group is a close-knit group always looking to expand. You will always find someone willing to run a key with you or just chat in discord while you do dailies. We all play together across multiple platforms (we even have a FFXIV Free Company who occasionally push Savage content!) and games and would encourage you to join us in our warm and welcoming environment. As stressed above, our community is super important to us and as such is the main focus of all we do. I can assure you that those of us who chose to invest in this space did so after great thought and personal reflection after watching other guilds struggle with the unfortunate toxicity that can plague the mid-tier. We wanted to make this guild to weed out that disease and make a good, strong base so that we may achieve our end game goals in a healthy frame of mind and with people we enjoy playing with.
We are welcoming of both Alliance and Horde, especially with the new changes that allow all to be under one roof. So please do not hesitate to apply be it Night Elf or Orc.
There is room for all! So what are we looking for? Currently, we are in need of Healers and DPS- preferably those with hearty off-specs for versatility. Classes we are currently looking to fill include:

2023.06.01 05:27 RepresentativeOk2297 It feels unfair to see others in love when you’re always rejected
I’m truly happy for people who get to experience love and successfully find relationships with people they are interested in. I’ve always had a problem where the guys I’m interested in, aren’t interested in me back, or they show signs they are but never want a relationship with me. I don’t have super high standards either, I’ve always cared more about personality. It just sucks being in my early 20s, seeing other people my age/ friends find a long relationship while I’m still struggling to get someone to commit to me for once lol. I’m always the one giving advice and it would be nice for once to experience a mutual interest enough to date. It’s just one of those things that not everyone gets to experience and have, which doesn’t mean you’re worth any less but does make me wonder what’s wrong with me aside from not having the best looks. People always say “gotta love yourself first” which is bs , I don’t think most people genuinely loved themselves before they found love.

2023.06.01 05:27 Tr1angulum Pre-Med Aspirations & Health Anxiety
I didn’t know where else to post this. I really need some advice. I need to take action and find a way to fix this.
I’m a rising junior in high school, and I’ve been working towards a pre-med route for quite some time now.
I have a huge passion for the medical field, and landed a spot volunteering at a hospital as part of a selective program this summer. Everything about my interests and the field of medicine clicks just right.
Except that I have severe health anxiety. Hearing about severe illnesses has one of two effects: becoming vastly interested and immersed, or descending down a spiral of panic. I can’t control which one happens to me, and when. I’m scared that pre-med isn’t the right choice for me if even the prospect of terminal illnesses sends me into a cold sweat.
It’s been so long since I’ve felt completely relieved of worrying. The cycle never ends. I love medicine, I really really do. But I can’t help but wonder that if this doesn’t get better, will it get worse during constant exposure to information in med school?
Is this something I will grow out of before I graduate? How can I control my fears?
Thank you for your time.

2023.06.01 05:26 Practical_Use_1654 FnF AnP nuke is black pilling me on humanity.
Previously I've tried to be charitable toward the FnF audience. At the end of the day, it's entertainment. It might be low-brow to see red-pill guys shit on women, but it appeals to a certain crowd. I would compare it to Jerry Springer's Midget Wrestling.
But watching that legitimate caveman 8-year-old rant that they went on makes me lose faith in humanity. Having them compare themselves to Dave Chapelle made me want to find the steepest cliff in Minecraft...
How does Sneako sit there without wanting to blow his brains out? Whether you want to admit it or not, his old stand-up footage was legitimately funny. His hero was Patrice O'neal for fucks sake.
How does anyone unironically watch this?
How does anyone with a higher-than-room-temperature IQ stomach these hacks?
What happened to the classic male archetype of being stoic and honorable?
Why are these clowns seen as bastions of masculinity by so many people?

But watching that legitimate caveman 8-year-old rant that they went on makes me lose faith in humanity. Having them compare themselves to Dave Chapelle made me want to find the steepest cliff in Minecraft...
How does Sneako sit there without wanting to blow his brains out? Whether you want to admit it or not, his old stand-up footage was legitimately funny. His hero was Patrice O'neal for fucks sake.
How does anyone unironically watch this?
How does anyone with a higher-than-room-temperature IQ stomach these hacks?

2023.06.01 05:26 OompaLoompaWrangler Advice please on buying an old service station? Concerns?
Hello! I would love some second opinions and advice on if this is a terrible idea, if I’m missing anything, and just your overall feedback!
I’m looking at an old service station that’s currently for sale for a good price by a very elderly man who use to own it and run it. The service satiation ran from the 1950s until the 1970’s when it was shutdown. The seller says the tanks were removed and the soil tested clean, however since it was so long ago he has no records of this. We’ve contacted the city and state, and they confirmed they have no records that go back that far so they can’t substantiate his claim.
The service station was also used as a mechanics shop with a floor drain that drained into a septic tank and then the leach field. He didn’t mention it much and it’s been 50+ years since it was used, but I’m sure all kinds of oil and chemicals were poured down. The station is located in a very rural part of the utah desert with clay soil, so I’m not sure where we would by nowadays with those chemicals in the ground.
Since there’s no records of anything, we’ve been advised to get a Phase I and Phase II ESA done. We’ve found some state approved companies, and the quoted cost is $4,100 for the Phase I and $14,000 for the Phase II. I was a little shocked by how expensive, but it’s a very rural town.
I guess this is where I’m a little stuck. I could take a gamble, pay $18,000 and hope the Phase I and Phase II come back clean and happily develop the land. OR I pay the money and the tests show contamination that will require remediation. At that point, I either back out of the sale within my due diligence and lose my $18,000 or I’m guessing I would have to order more inspections and tests to see the level of contamination and try and get an estimate of the costs?
I’ve read a lot of studies that show service stations make up something like 95% of contamination finds during Phase II inspections, and that remediation can cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
My other worry is that the Phase II comes back clean, and then somehow we find new contamination in the future. Are we then liable? I think so.
So I guess my question is, is this a bad idea? I feel like I’m trying to do the right thing by getting the Phase I and Phase II, but am I just throwing $18,000 down a well and exposing myself to the risk of having to pay an insane amount for remediation down the road? Or given the station was very small, it’s been 50+ years , and I’m looking to conduct the inspections do I have a good shot of getting a nice sized property in an area I really like and would love to live?
I’m super grateful for any advice or feedback you can give! Thank you!!

2023.06.01 05:26 bilusaurus Akko ACR Top 75: A Keyboard Saga
 | A few months ago, my wife expressed an interest in using a mechanical keyboard for work. While she has always been supportive of my unhealthy love for keyboards, this had never been a common interest. However, it was all going to change! This was my chance to shine! My expansive knowledge of lubricant viscosity was finally going to be useful! I sat her down, made her a cup of coffee, and began explaining, in excruciating detail, the differences between Krytox 205g0 and Krytox 205g2 and how the addition of PTFE thickeners make them entirely different in application. I even used gestures to demonstrate brush strokes a keen keyboard enthusiast would use to lube switches and stabs. It did not go down well. submitted by bilusaurus to mkindia [link] [comments] Akko ACR Top 75 Over the months, I pestered her about what she would like and we agreed upon certain requirements: she wanted a 75% board but not the exploded variety. She was also quite insistent that it shouldn't weigh too much; my daily-driver, the Keychron Q1 was, according to her, oppressively heavy. With these my mind I trawled the internet for available boards. Akko seemed to be the obvious choice here: they were making non-exploded 75% boards at a reasonable price. They also had acrylic boards which would be lighter than aluminium versions. I had also heard good things about Akko keyboards. However, I must admit that their product positioning was a difficult to understand. The ACR line has multiple options! Once I weeded out the north-facing boards, I was left with a few options: the stacked acrylic ACR75v2, the ACR Pro 75 (the black version has a south-facing PCB), and the ACR Top 75. I had been asked to avoid black keyboards if I could, and that left me with two choices. To be honest, I am still unsure if there is a substantial difference between the ACR75v2 and the ACR Top 75. I went with the two-piece design, and, more importantly, a mounting style that I hadn't used before -- the top mount. I was curious as to why the ACR Top 75 was being offered with a brass plate; I would have thought that an acrylic board (with RGB) would be more interesting with a PC plate. Having made my choice, I placed an order with StacksKb and the order was delivered within a couple of days. Frosted acrylic RGB Akko packaging isn't particularly impressive. The keyboard comes in a black box that looks rather cheap. The branding on the box is also not aesthetically pleasing. I do feel that luxury products, such as mechanical keyboards, should come packaged in a certain way. I felt my Q1 had a much nicer packaging. However, I can also understand that they are trying to meet a price point. So, we shall let this slide. The box comes with all the things you need to build the keyboard (no switches or keycaps, of course). The stabilizers are plate-mount. There were a a few screws and stand-offs in small plastic packets. A keycap puller and a switch puller were included with the package. The product also comes with three separate pieces of foam: a silicone case foam, a silicone plate foam, and a PCB PE foam. The case was placed at the bottom of the packaging. The quality of the acrylic was impressive; the threads had metal inserts – yeah, it was all good. I made my wife try eight different types of switches, and she was quite clear on her preference: light and tactile. It made the choice fairly easy considering I had some Gateron G Pro Brown switches lying around. These switches are very light, and the tactile bump is barely noticeable. In fact, I had to re-lubricate the switches as the factory lubing made them feel like linears. I lubed and filmed them with Krytox 205g0 and Durock switch films. In all honesty, I didn’t actually find the keycaps she was looking for. She wanted gradient keycaps in pastel colours (pink/purple/yellow). I am still looking for what she wants. If you know where I could get hold of some or if you are selling, let me know! I used some Sakura PBT keycaps. They are okay. The spacebar is a bit warped. I straightened it to some extent but it’s not perfect. Gateron G Pro Brown switches + Sakura PBT Keycaps Now, on to the build. I am amazed that you are still reading, by the way. Assembly was logical. The stabilisers were a bit wonky. Some of the wires needed balancing and I used generous amounts of dielectric grease. They sound okay, but I think they could be better. I might switch them out for better, screw-in stabilisers in due course. The only decision that I needed to make was in relation to the foam. My wife (and yes, I made her listed to hundreds of sound tests) seemed to prefer clack over thock. Or, perhaps, it was anger and exasperation. We shall never know. I decided to remove the PE foam and keep the silicone foams in the build. Hopefully, this would get closer to the clacky sound she seemed to enjoy. The brass plate might also have something to do with it. I am quite certain that the brass plate is being used so that it can reflect some of the RGB. Clever idea. Building was generally simple, but a few parts of the assembly were a little fiddly. For instance, the stand-offs for attaching the PCB to the plate keep falling off when you are trying to screw them in. That was rather irritating. If you managed to get through that you still have to mount the PCB on to the case. There are tiny silicone gaskets that fit over the edges of the plate. You screw through the gasket and the plate into the top underside of the top case (and that’s why it’s a top mount board). However, the gaskets will fall out unless you are careful. Also, if you screw with too much enthusiasm, you stand the risk of going through the silicone gasket and screwing directly to the case. No bouncy feel for you, then. There are nine gaskets, and it takes a while to get them in correctly. Once done, you connect the daughterboard to the PCB, attach the bottom acrylic piece to the top, and screw in the many, many screws into the case. Whew. And, we are done. I quite like this board. It feels rigid, well built and comes in roughly at 1kg. Despite being an acrylic board it does not feel flimsy. The typing feel is excellent: soft but not mushy. But it's not all positives: a couple of things do annoy me. The gap between the keycaps is too much. I can see the brass plate quite clearly. I can totally see mysef cleaning biscuit crumbs from under the keycaps in a few months. I also noticed that not all the keycaps sat evenly. It appears to be issues with the plate alignment. These are minor things – I don’t think you’d notice them unless you were looking for them. The second issue is one of software: the Akko Cloud Driver is rubbish. My wife uses a Mac and the only available software from Akko is in Chinese. They really don’t make it easy. If you remap a key, it takes forever to register. It took me more time on the software than it did for the whole assembly. VIA/QMK is the way forward. A few smaller gripes: the case RGB (which is separate from the switch RGB) isn't diffused particularly well; the bottom lip is fairly high (higher than the Keychron Q1) and typing can be fatiguing if you are not used to these kinds of boards. You might need a wrist-rest. I posted a video on the sound of the board some time ago. You might want to check that out. I think this board sounds really, really good. It does indeed sound clacky. Feeling great pride in what I had assembled, I handed it over to her and waited to be showered with complements. The look on her face was pure relief – this is finally over! No more talk about spring weights and long-pole switches at dinner! Last night, I saw her doing the type-test on Monkeytype and checking the evenness of the space bar. We all know, that's how it starts. |
2023.06.01 05:25 b_robertson18 having a tough time with the prospect of dating. could use some tips/advice/wisdom/etc.
hey y'all, back again with another post.
To start this off, I'm a young man. I don't really like giving my exact age on here, so I'll just say I'm under 21, but not a minor. I've been working on deepening my relationship with and getting closer to the Lord, something that has been a huge battle between my spirit and flesh, but one that I'd consider myself to be winning... albeit gradually. I still have so much to work on and I'm constantly trying to figure out how to.
My journey towards becoming a Godly man (if that's really possible) has also led me to begin wondering about the seemingly difficult concept of dating in a faith oriented setting. I do believe in dating to marry, actually I always have. There has never been even a single moment of my life where I've been interested in anything but that. I'm the kind of guy who has zero interest in flings, or leading someone on, off and on relationships, or any other bogus. I've always wanted to find one young woman to do life with, because to me that is what a relationship should be.
With that having been said, how do I go about this? Is there some magical way of finding someone? I've done a little searching on here and some of y'all mention dating websites or apps, going to church, or just anything and everything that could lead me to who I'm looking for, but what are the odds of actually finding someone? with my luck, it seems like any church I'd go to wouldn't have anyone around my age group. I'm open to the prospect, but it appears to be a wild goose chase. Another major issue I see playing in is this: I feel like a lot of the Christian girls my age are in college, and I'm not, so it makes me wonder if my chances are already very heavily reduced. Add in the fact that I am looking for one with no desire to have children, is unable to have them, or is leaning towards not having them, and we have what I'm gonna call the "terrible trifecta" in regards to Christian dating. why do I not want kids, some might ask? Without going into much detail, I'm just not cut out to be a dad, something that has too many reasons why to list here. I think it's much better to find that out now than later and break someone's heart about it. This begs the question: Do Christian women who don't want to/can't have kids even exist? If so, where do I find them, and how? I tend to just assume that all of them do, because we are the group of people who seem to usually want them. I just wanted to say that I have absolutely nothing against those who do, men or women, but it's just not for me. Childfree Godly ladies deserve love too, and I'm out here looking for one.
On the other hand, a large part of me sadly wonders if I should even bother with dating, at least right now. I'm not currently where I want to be in life, and know that it will take me many years to get there. I have this kind of mentality where ideally I need to mold myself into the kind of man that the woman I'd be hoping to find would be looking for... but is this realistic, or could I grow with her, together, to become who we want to be, or who God wants us to be? I have many goals, including being financially independent, more fit/stronger, obviously a house of my own, and even deeper in my walk with the Lord... among other goals, but I know that this is far from an overnight thing. I just have to wonder if this will obliterate any chances of me finding someone.
I've heard the saying that if you aren't happy alone, you won't be happy in a relationship. I've experienced both, and I'm happy in either, my longest relationship having been over two years long, albeit with an unbeliever. I ended it because we just weren't fit for each other in so many ways, like very different views on moral and religious issues, that I was never blind to but ignored until I couldn't any longer. I was young and dumb, and now I've learned pretty much exactly what I want, and what I don't. I'm grateful I never gave in to fornication, so I'm still "pure" in that respect, but I have done everything but that, something that I wish I could go back and undo. I've been single for about a year and three months now, and I still wonder to this day, and always will, if God was the one who led me out of that relationship so that he could lead me back to him. I trust him and the plans he has for me, but I just want someone to do life with, and all that comes with it.
I would love to know what y'all think of this, and would love to receive any tips, advice, encouragement, wisdom, anything ya got. I'm also looking for some peeps to be friends with, because I have so few of them.

2023.06.01 05:25 OompaLoompaWrangler Advice please on buying old service station? Concerns?
Hello! I would love some second opinions and advice on if this is a terrible idea, if I’m missing anything, and just your overall feedback!
I’m looking at an old service station that’s currently for sale for a good price by a very elderly man who use to own it and run it. The service satiation ran from the 1950s until the 1970’s when it was shutdown. The seller says the tanks were removed and the soil tested clean, however since it was so long ago he has no records of this. We’ve contacted the city and state, and they confirmed they have no records that go back that far so they can’t substantiate his claim.
The service station was also used as a mechanics shop with a floor drain that drained into a septic tank and then the leach field. He didn’t mention it much and it’s been 50+ years since it was used, but I’m sure all kinds of oil and chemicals were poured down. The station is located in a very rural part of the utah desert with clay soil, so I’m not sure where we would by nowadays with those chemicals in the ground.
Since there’s no records of anything, we’ve been advised to get a Phase I and Phase II ESA done. We’ve found some state approved companies, and the quoted cost is $4,100 for the Phase I and $14,000 for the Phase II. I was a little shocked by how expensive, but it’s a very rural town.
I guess this is where I’m a little stuck. I could take a gamble, pay $18,000 and hope the Phase I and Phase II come back clean and happily develop the land. OR I pay the money and the tests show contamination that will require remediation. At that point, I either back out of the sale within my due diligence and lose my $18,000 or I’m guessing I would have to order more inspections and tests to see the level of contamination and try and get an estimate of the costs?
I’ve read a lot of studies that show service stations make up something like 95% of contamination finds during Phase II inspections, and that remediation can cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
My other worry is that the Phase II comes back clean, and then somehow we find new contamination in the future. Are we then liable? I think so.
So I guess my question is, is this a bad idea? I feel like I’m trying to do the right thing by getting the Phase I and Phase II, but am I just throwing $18,000 down a well and exposing myself to the risk of having to pay an insane amount for remediation down the road? Or given the station was very small, it’s been 50+ years , and I’m looking to conduct the inspections do I have a good shot of getting a nice sized property in an area I really like and would love to live?
I’m super grateful for any advice or feedback you can give! Thank you!!

2023.06.01 05:25 Euuphoriaa I asked ChatGPT to tell me about Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
Ah, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, the epitome of frustration disguised as a video game. It's remarkable how a title with such potential managed to become a breeding ground for toxic behavior and countless moments of sheer exasperation.
In this so-called "tactical" shooter, you'll find a multitude of operators, each with their unique gadgets and abilities. But let's be honest, it's nothing more than a glorified collection of overpowered superheroes in need of a reality check. Gone are the days of strategic planning and thoughtful teamwork, replaced by an endless cycle of mindless rushing, rampant peeking, and explosive chaos.
And let's not forget the joy of encountering players who seem to have taken a crash course in acrobatics. It's truly a marvel to witness the human contortionists performing mind-boggling feats of aerial maneuvers, defying all laws of physics and logic. But alas, Rainbow Six Siege seems to have forgotten that it's a tactical shooter, not an audition for the next Cirque du Soleil act.
Oh, the joy of spawn peeks and the absurdity of wallbangs! Who needs solid cover or a fair fight when you can be obliterated from across the map by someone who seems to have X-ray vision and a sixth sense for your every move? It's as if the game delights in rewarding those with the reflexes of a caffeinated cheetah, while punishing those who dare to exercise caution and strategy.
And let us not overlook the delightful community that surrounds Rainbow Six Siege. A veritable melting pot of insults, slurs, and toxic behavior that rivals the most putrid corners of the internet. It's a place where the concept of sportsmanship is an alien concept, and where verbal abuse is as common as the sun rising in the morning.
So, to all the Rainbow Six Siege enthusiasts out there, revel in your broken hitboxes, your unbalanced operators, and your cesspool of toxicity. For the rest of us, we'll seek solace in games that value fair play, strategic thinking, and a community that fosters positivity rather than hostility. Because life is too short to subject ourselves to the infuriating circus that is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

So, to all the Rainbow Six Siege enthusiasts out there, revel in your broken hitboxes, your unbalanced operators, and your cesspool of toxicity. For the rest of us, we'll seek solace in games that value fair play, strategic thinking, and a community that fosters positivity rather than hostility. Because life is too short to subject ourselves to the infuriating circus that is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

Has anyone else been watching Ayla pregnancy videos? I used to be an o2l fan back in the day and I’ve kinda kept up with knj, their personal and whatever other channels just because they were always posting and it was something to watch that felt familiar. I kinda fell off of it the last year or so but recently started watching Kian related stuff again after they announced her pregnancy.
Can we agree that it’s weird for Kian not to stay and help finish packing for her while she rested? or something. Because she’s pregnant and obviously in pain. and before was he criticizing every little thing she owned. Then it seems he just left to make her sleep alone when she was in pain. Odd thing to do to the mother of your child?
And, I watched something the other day - i can’t remember what video of what stream it was sorry - where Ayla mentioned ghosting their couples therapist? Was this something they’ve shared before and I missed when I wasn’t watching? It sounds like they think this baby is gonna fix everything and I’m a little worried Ayla is gonna really regretting this. I hope I’m wrong though.
Also so sorry I didn’t mean to write so much, I also paused like four minutes into her moving blog because I got so pissed off oops. I’m high and it’s been about 6 months since the last time I was.

2023.06.01 05:25 shortuguese (Finally) telling my story after lurking for over a year
I think to get the full picture of my experience, you have to start at the beginning of my life.
I was born with pretty severe glaucoma, and would have been blind if not for emergency surgery when I was only three weeks old. The situation with my eyes was sort of like a hydra though, we resolved one condition, and three new conditions would pop up because many eye conditions lend to others. So needless to say, I was always in and out of ophthalmologists’ offices and was very used to being poked and prodded.
I’d swell with pride every time a nurse or doctor said something to the effect of “Wow, you’re doing so good! Most kids cry for XYZ!” Whether that be eyedrops, getting my pressures checked, etc. I knew these remarks were compliments to me, but also to my parents. Making my parents look good made me feel good too. So I’d always respond with some comment to the effect of “What, like it’s hard?” a la Elle Woods. I was hungry for validation from adults.
I was absolutely fascinated by medicine. I was always paying attention when the doctors were talking to my parents, learned about my own conditions as well as others I didn’t have, and I knew all major eye anatomy by age 10. There weren’t many 10-year-olds asking their doctor how their optic nerve looks.
It extended outside of ophthalmology too, I would always watch when I was getting shots, even though my mom told me not to. And when I broke my arm shortly after turning 7, I was so excited about the x-rays. I wanted to be a pediatric ophthalmologist from a young age, to help kids and parents in similar situations to mine.
I’m not sure exactly what age the UTIs started, all I know is that I was constantly on antibiotics to combat the latest infection. I’d get ultrasounds of my abdomen (I was also fascinated by those) and doctors would feel around externally, always with clothes on if my memory is correct. My records show that I had a VCUG at age 4, but I don’t remember it at all.
So at age 7, being told we were going to go to the hospital and have my stomach x-rayed, I was pumped. The testing was on a weekend, so my dad, mom, and older sister all came along.
I remember being in a great mood that day. What was there to be anxious about, right? It was the weekend, and I was going to see inside my stomach—that’s all fun stuff. My mom came in the room with me, and my dad and sister stayed out in the waiting area.
I remember my mom’s mood not matching mine. When they sent us into the adjoining bathroom with instructions for me to pee and change into a gown, my mom seemed anxious, maybe a little agitated. I was in a goofy mood though, not really deterred by hers.
We came out and I laid on the exam table, still in a good mood. That good mood was gone pretty quickly.
My understanding now is that my VUR was a fairly severe case, so it is likely that I had an active UTI while this was all done. Even just them cleaning me was painful. I remember the nurse who cleaned me looked at me incredulously and brushed it off when I told her that it hurt.
But things hit the fan when they started to catheterize me.
I was immediately in fight or flight (and I chose fight). Nurses struggled to hold my legs down and apart on the table. I was crying, kicking, and begging them to stop. They didn’t.
So I looked to my mom for help. Her expression wasn’t just disappointment, it was disgust. Disgust at my behavior, I realized. I was normally such a cooperative kid. She didn’t want to be seen as a permissive parent, and so expressing her disapproval of my behavior was necessary. She didn’t humor my distress, only exasperatingly telling me to get it over with so we could go home.
Once I realized my mom wasn’t going to help me, I remembered my dad and sister were out in the waiting room. If I scream loud enough, I thought to myself, they’ll hear me. And then they’ll barge into the room and demand that these people stop. They’ll help.
So I screamed. And screamed. No one came. No one stopped. And eventually I was tired out enough that they were able to catheterize me.
The VCUG confirmed that my VUR was operable. And so in the summer, about a week before I turned 8, I had the surgery.
Even though I knew I’d be under anesthesia for it, I was still terrified because I knew what they’d be doing while I was under was similar to what they did in the VCUG.
The morning of my surgery, I considered finding a hiding spot. My almost-8-year-old logic was that if we missed the surgery appointment, I wouldn’t have surgery at all. What kept me from actually trying that plan was knowing my parents would be furious with me. So I didn’t.
I had one more VCUG post-operation, probably to confirm the surgery worked. This time, I knew what was going to happen and I was extremely anxious.
The only thing that was different that time was that there was one, younger nurse with a modicum of empathy. She explained that when I was tense, my urethra was like a closed fist, showing how she couldn’t get a finger from her other hand through her fist. She loosened up the fist to show that relaxing would help me be more open and it wouldn’t hurt.
I nodded in understanding, but realistically I came from a family full of people with undiagnosed, untreated anxiety and absolutely no skills in emotional regulation. I didn’t know anything about deep breaths to relax. And I certainly didn’t have any kind of specialized knowledge in relaxing my pelvic floor muscles. They gave me a plastic straw and told me to breathe through it and focus on that. I remember cringing and thinking it was like having a catheter in my mouth too.
And so that VCUG ended up like the last one. Me fighting and crying and screaming, and none of the adults in the room considering that my distress might be justified.
No one ever told me that that was it. I was done. I wouldn’t ever need another VCUG. So I lived in perpetual fear that there’d be follow ups and my parents wouldn’t tell me in advance, just drive me to the hospital and spring it on me. Would I need to go back every year? Every 5 years? In 10 years? I had no idea, and I never asked. Because what if I did need follow ups, and my parents had just forgotten about scheduling them? I wouldn’t want to remind them.
When the next school year started that fall, I was different. Previously a social butterfly who easily made friends, I now was having a hard time finding a place I belonged.
I stumbled on trichotillomania to self-soothe, compulsively pulling out my eyebrows and eyelashes. Having light skin and very dark hair, thick eyebrows, and thick eyelashes (thanks, Southern European genes), any time I pulled a significant amount of hairs out, it was very noticeable, and I spent much of that school year with hardly any eyebrows and eyelashes. Looking like a freak didn’t really help in making friends, and it became a vicious circle. I pulled because I was anxious, was anxious because I didn’t have strong friendships, and didn’t have strong friends because I pulled.
I’ve overcome the eyebrow portion, but I still struggle with compulsive eyelash pulling to this day.
I was terrified of my own body. A lot of kids explore, even if only for the sake of cleaning themselves. But me? No. As soon as I was bathing unsupervised, I stopped cleaning between my legs. And when I’d use the bathroom, I’d wad up a thick cushion of toilet paper so that I wouldn’t be able to feel myself when I wiped.
The onset of puberty changed nothing. While girls my age were talking like graduating from pads to tampons was the only way to ascend to womanhood, I couldn’t bear the thought of sticking anything up there. Just thinking about even attempting to use a tampon made me sweaty. My 14th birthday party was a pool party, but I ended up getting my period the day before and couldn’t swim with my friends that day.
When I got my first period at age 13, I remember crying. I thought about how now, if I was raped, I could get pregnant. And I really did not want to get pregnant. I got my period at school, and on the walk to the nurse’s office to call my mom, I eyed every man and boy I passed suspiciously. I knew enough about pregnancy and childbirth to know it was something I never wanted to happen to me, because it meant 9 months of having strangers stick their hands and various medical devices inside my body, and ending with unimaginable pain.
The hilarious thing is that I never drew the connection between all of this and my VCUG experience. And I wouldn’t realize it for well over a decade.
I met the love of my life in college when I was 21. He was kind and compassionate, and pretty instantly we just seemed to be on the same page. He became my best friend.
I had finally discovered masturbation (albeit, external only and through layers) at age 19, but hadn’t ever tried penetrative sex. He was understanding of my anxiety around penetration, and we had fun doing things within my comfort zone for a while. Then, at age 24, after living with him for a few months, I had decided I was ready to try and got on birth control.
Every attempt was unsuccessful. It was like I was a brick wall down there, and I always called it off. Different positions, different lubes, lots of lube, ridiculous amounts of lube, lights on, lights off, spending the whole day getting horny in advance of trying—we tried basically everything except alcohol. Alcohol was my mom’s suggestion when I asked her if I had any medical issues she knew about that would interfere with intimacy (I was thinking maybe I was intersex or something of that sort). A glass or two of wine to relax, just for the first time so I can get it over with, she said. I thought that sounded like a great way to become dependent on alcohol and said no thanks.
So I looked into sex therapy, found someone I liked, and filled out her preliminary paperwork. One of the questions asked about medical history, especially that which involved genitalia. So I looked up the name of my condition, VUR, and mentioned the VCUGs without really thinking about it. After all, that involved my urethra, not my vagina. It couldn’t possibly be related to the vaginismus I was struggling with.
She asked about it in our initial sessions going over history. And we quickly confirmed it was very much related. That led me to do more research, which led me to Reddit forums! I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety and PTSD.
I learned that no, I wasn’t being dramatic about the pain I was in. The time I spent since gaslighting myself, saying I was probably just overreacting… it doesn’t add up given the facts and the context of my medical history. All of the adults in the room both times failed me. Unfortunately, this procedure is still performed to this day, on tens of thousands of children each year.
I feel a lot of guilt. I’ve spent many sleepless nights crying for all of the kids who have been traumatized in the 20 years since this happened to me, thinking that I should be doing more, speaking up, writing letters. I’m still trying to figure out my place in all this. I feel like I may not be able to “heal” or “move on” while this is still happening daily.
I’m now 27 and still working on learning the body I’ve spent at least two decades tuned out of. Therapy has been great, but progress is slow—there is much to unpack and work on. I’ll be trying EMDR in the next month or so. My partner, now my husband, has been supportive and patient along the way, and I am so grateful for him.
With the clarity I have now, I know that I’m most uncomfortable lying on my back. Even for things like going to see my esthetician for facials and brow waxing, I can’t fully relax on my back. Additionally, the thought of any kind of medical penetration makes me ridiculously anxious. Initial COVID testing methods where they swabbed deep into the nose were something I avoided like the plague itself. I jumped on the rapid self-tests that didn’t require you to swab as deep. I also want to see an ENT for allergy and breathing issues, but am terrified that they’ll want to stick something up my nose or down my throat. I also have not seen a gynecologist—getting a pap smear is completely off the table if I can’t even be penetrated by someone I trust. Isn't it ironic how I’ve changed from wanting to be a doctor, to now being terrified of them?
It does feel eerily poetic though, that I had no say over what happened to my body on that exam table then, and even though I’m now in the pilot seat, I still don’t have a conscious say over my body. My body remembers being violated, and it’s been on high alert ever since, ignoring my conscious brain. Still working on finding my peace.

2023.06.01 05:24 OompaLoompaWrangler Advice please on buying an old service station? Concerns?
Hello! I would love some second opinions and advice on if this is a terrible idea, if I’m missing anything, and just your overall feedback!
I’m looking at an old service station that’s currently for sale for a good price by a very elderly man who use to own it and run it. The service satiation ran from the 1950s until the 1970’s when it was shutdown. The seller says the tanks were removed and the soil tested clean, however since it was so long ago he has no records of this. We’ve contacted the city and state, and they confirmed they have no records that go back that far so they can’t substantiate his claim.
The service station was also used as a mechanics shop with a floor drain that drained into a septic tank and then the leach field. He didn’t mention it much and it’s been 50+ years since it was used, but I’m sure all kinds of oil and chemicals were poured down. The station is located in a very rural part of the utah desert with clay soil, so I’m not sure where we would by nowadays with those chemicals in the ground.
Since there’s no records of anything, we’ve been advised to get a Phase I and Phase II ESA done. We’ve found some state approved companies, and the quoted cost is $4,100 for the Phase I and $14,000 for the Phase II. I was a little shocked by how expensive, but it’s a very rural town.
I guess this is where I’m a little stuck. I could take a gamble, pay $18,000 and hope the Phase I and Phase II come back clean and happily develop the land. OR I pay the money and the tests show contamination that will require remediation. At that point, I either back out of the sale within my due diligence and lose my $18,000 or I’m guessing I would have to order more inspections and tests to see the level of contamination and try and get an estimate of the costs?
I’ve read a lot of studies that show service stations make up something like 95% of contamination finds during Phase II inspections, and that remediation can cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
My other worry is that the Phase II comes back clean, and then somehow we find new contamination in the future. Are we then liable? I think so.
So I guess my question is, is this a bad idea? I feel like I’m trying to do the right thing by getting the Phase I and Phase II, but am I just throwing $18,000 down a well and exposing myself to the risk of having to pay an insane amount for remediation down the road? Or given the station was very small, it’s been 50+ years , and I’m looking to conduct the inspections do I have a good shot of getting a nice sized property in an area I really like and would love to live?
I’m super grateful for any advice or feedback you can give! Thank you!!

Or given the station was very small, it’s been 50+ years , and I’m looking to conduct the inspections do I have a good shot of getting a nice sized property in an area I really like and would love to live?
I’m super grateful for any advice or feedback you can give! Thank you!!
2023.06.01 05:24 TheProphetDave Hotdog cart maker recommendations and general advice request please
So I’ve decided to hire myself and get a hot dog cart. I’ve done some footwork already and am looking to pull the trigger on a cart, but I’m not sure of the websites I’ve seen and the quality for money.
There’s one type of cart I like, the big dog, and another from a different company that is almost identical yet cheaper. So now it boils down to whom has the better version and which company is “better”, and who’s ripping who off?
The two I’m considering are the Big Dog fromhotdogcartstore.com and the Big One from hotdogcartdepot.com . There’s at least 2 carts that are identical and similarly named on both sites
Now for the general questions:
1, the country says I don’t need a DHEC inspection on a cart, and therefore don’t need a commissary. SCDHEC says otherwise. Does one organization over rule the other in this case?
2, I’m finding that I’ll need a separate business license for every county I work, and I live in an unincorporated county that I want to work but also the incorporated areas. So there’s at least 2 licenses I’ll need. Is this the norm or is there a way around it?
3, I’ve setup business licenses before but where I live requires a background check. My plan is to help people that are hard to employ setup their own businesses later on, including felons, and was wondering if a license could be denied because of a persons background check?
4, There’s no requirement for multiple sinks here, but would it be a good idea to have more than one for work/resale? How many?
One thing I found odd was DHEC says no grill or griddle because that’s considered open cooking, but it doesn’t seem accurate as a grill at least would be closed as much as a 1/3 pan…
Thank you all!

2023.06.01 05:24 AzrielEver [TOMT][TV Show] Hulu Documentary about missing person cases with one particular one about a treasure hunter for the Dutchman’s Mine in the Superstition Mountain
To be clear: I don’t want a documentary about the Dutchman’s mine itself.
What stood out about this missing personal’s case documentary was that the person was an avid hiker who led a double life where they went on crazy treasure hunts . They had gone to Superstition Mountain before, then gave up and searched some airplane that crashed in the sea, the Caribbean or American East Coast or something like that, came up with nothing before going back to find the Dutchman’s Mine again where they never returned. The whole episode was back-to-back whiplash, so fucking good to watch.
The episode ended with remains found that weren’t identified yet as his but a google search afterwards showed they were in fact his bones.
I wish I remembered something, the show name, even the guy’s name.
Any help?

2023.06.01 05:23 Exiled_From_Twitter Tiger did play in a fairly weak era of golf, but so did the other greats for the most part: Historical Masters Data as a Proxy
 | Recently someone posted the Major results comparison between Brooks and Tiger. It was an interesting comparison, even if not the absolute best way to do it. This was much to the dismay of Tiger stans and brought up some vitriol, exacerbated by my comments that Tiger's era was quite a bit weaker so even if you tried to compare peak to peak it's not quite accurate. submitted by Exiled_From_Twitter to golf [link] [comments] Comparing eras is almost impossible in golf, there are just so many variables to consider including equipment changes, course changes / setup, and the fact that two people can look at the exact same thing and come to two completely different conclusions - both with merit. For instance, you could look at Tiger's dominance as a sign that the era was just a bit weak which bolstered his overall results. I think it's a fair question, but how do you "prove" it? Because historical data and results are not very accessible there's just not much out there. I used to have all the major results from circa 1970 through 2015 but it was lost unfortunately and the site I used to get it no longer exists. I could not find anything comparable and I don't know how to use python or other scraping tools unfortunately. However, one thing fairly easy to gather and is mostly clean is the Masters historical data, every single one played since 1934. So that is what I have now, it's clearly not comprehensive but it can be used as a decent proxy. The method was simple - I looked at how many strokes vs. average by round a player was in every tournament and then totaled the rounds - for those who played less than 4 rounds their per round average was multiplied by the appropriate amount to compare to those who did play all 4. There are instances where someone who barely missed the cut ended up having a better total result (though still not good) than someone who made the cut. Some may not like that given that ppl think making the cut is an achievement in itself but if you make the cut then blow up over the weekend you deserve the worse score. With each individual result in every Masters played I could then determine strength of field of each Masters tournament by looking at a moving average of how every player in that field had performed in Masters tournaments in the 5 years before and / or after. This gives a more accurate account of each player in the field at the time they were in the field, for instance if you used simple average then I would be giving too much credit to this years Tiger Woods when we know he's not what he was 15 years ago, and simultaneously discrediting Tiger Woods in the early 2000's where he was clearly better than now. The field strength for each year is determined by the Top 30 golfers in the field (b/c you're not truly playing the entire field) using the moving average of each player's performance +/- 5 years from the year in question. This gives you an indication of how good each player is in that moment moreso than using their entire career (i.e. Arnie's Masters career is not great but that's b/c he played in something like 44 of them and was clearly way out of place in the last 25 or so). With all that explained, here are the "difficulty" results of every Masters since 1960 (they didn't have a cut until like 1957 so a lot of that just doesn't look right): Filled data points are Masters in which Tiger participated When Tiger burst onto the scene the field was getting quite a bit better from the early to mid 90's. Based on the method he already counted towards the field strength b/c of the power of hindsight, but beyond him the field was quite good. In 1997, beyond just Tiger you also had Jose Maria Olazabal, Fred Couples, David Duval, and Phil Mickelson all had very good records at the Masters in the years before and after, all 8 strokes better than the field. In 2004 the field was the best it's been since the mid 60's, largely b/c of Tiger and Phil who were both 12 strokes better than average during that span. But Vijay was also 9 strokes better and the field was pretty deep. But by Tiger's peak, in his late 20's, the field was not great by Master's standards. In 2008 Tiger and Phil were still at the top but the 3rd best golfer in the field was Angel Cabrera, who was a very good 5.9 strokes better than average but that's very low for the 3rd best in the tourney. You see it bounces around a bit thereafter but often the field was certainly worse from 2006 until 2020 when it finally drops into the truly awesome field that we have now. What is interesting is that the field this past April was not as top heavy but is very deep again. For instance, Rory was just the 28th ranked player in this field by this measure (his Masters history is not as good as his total, of course) but at a very respectable 2.8 strokes better than average (Tied for the best 28th place player in any field since 1960). So Tiger's era is a bit everywhere, with it being pretty good in the first few years then falling off towards the backend. BUT there's more... the only problem with this is that the field is taking into account Tiger, but he doesn't play against himself so this is not completely representative of the field that Tiger played against himself. Obviously this is the same throughout - Jack didn't have to face himself, clearly, and thus if trying to determine the field Jack played against you would need to remove Jack from the equation. Of course it's going to be difficult for the best golfers in the world to face the toughest fields b/c the field is facing the best golfers...we can still compare of course. So then what do the fields look like for each golfer with themselves removed from the equation? Filled data points are Masters in which Tiger participated The best fields Tiger has ever played against in the Masters have been in the last two. In 2007 it was one of the worst ever, as the Tiger field was 2 strokes worse relative to average than in the last two years. This is what happens when Chris DiMarco is one of the best golfers in the field..... But this still doesn't tell us how it relates to other golfers all-time. So looking at the best individual performers in Masters history, using their 10 best performances (min 6) vs. the rest of the field strength during those performances.... Is Palmer the Masters GOAT? And as the caption states, Palmer truly stands out here. His best individual performances stack up against the best but the strength of the fields he played against are quite easily better than Nicklaus and Tiger (even though there was overlap). This is largely b/c Palmer faced off against the games stalwarts even before Nicklaus entered the mix, going against Snead, Hogan, and the unsung greats of Middlecoff and Mangrum as well. Then a few short years later he's competing against Nicklaus, Player, Venturi, and Casper Jr (with Snead still there in the early goings of the 60's as well). Long story short - yes, Tiger did face fairly weak fields in his prime but he did also face some pretty good ones and they are comparable to most other great Masters players aside from the incomparable Arnold Palmer. And yes, the field today is very strong and could compete as the strongest of all-time in the near future. |
2023.06.01 05:23 EquivalentImage6965 Fasciculations and paresthesias
Age 38
Sex F
Height 5’3”
Weight 165lb
Race White
Duration of complaint 6 months
Location Left arm/whole body
Any existing relevant medical issues ADHD
Current medications none
Hi all. Back in November of this year I developed a finger twitch on my left hand and horrible tinnitus. I had recently switched from adderall to low dose Vyvanse (20mg) for my ADHD. I stopped the vyvanse after 1-2 weeks of use, the tinnitus resolved but the twitching did not.
I had also left the ICU (after 10 years in a level 1 trauma unit) and took an office nurse position so I spend a lot of time sitting and typing which is new for me… and I initially chalked it up to that.
After a few weeks of intermittent twitching in my left middle finger, it went away… but then I began having quick fasciculations all over my body (really quick, lasting seconds then dissipating). These still come and go multiple times daily in various spots across my body, several months later. Not painful. Just annoying.
Of note, I had my first known covid infection (vaxxed/boosted, covid was very mild) about 10 weeks before these symptoms started.
I saw a neurologist at a major teaching hospital in December. She said she was not concerned because my neuro exam was normal. She did not recommend an EMG or imaging at that time.
By March, the bilateral arm paresthesias started. What’s strange about them is that they only occur as I’m waking up in the morning - then quickly subside once I’m fully awake and moving. But it’s every single morning in both arms, regardless of how I sleep.
I went back to the neurologist and pushed for imaging. I then had an MRI of my brain and cervical spine. No signs of demyelinating disease or optic neuritis on the scan, C spine was normal.
They did see a tiny thickened area that could be a structural abnormality, varix, or a “tiny, very early meningioma”.
The neurologist said it is not concerning, it is an incidental finding - and “certainly not the cause of my symptoms.”
Currently no further testing ordered (aside from a CT angio to rule out menigioma vs normal structure) …. But she doesn’t really seem to think it’s even worth it (the amount of radiation for a “low yield” study) She is calling this “peripheral nerve hyperexcitability” and could be post viral or from vyvanse (although I took it for 2 weeks and have abstained from all meds/stimulants aside from caffeine since).
I’m still having fasciculations and the paresthesias in my arms every morning are driving me crazy. Any suggestions on where to go next? Thoughts/advice? Can a tiny “practically microscopic” meningioma cause symptoms? Should I push for an EMG? I’m worried it could be Parkinson’s/MS… or maybe long covid? I’m tired of living at the bottom of this rabbit hole. Thanks for any input!

2023.06.01 05:22 Mother_Chipmunk_700 27 [M4F] TN/US/CST-Is it too soon to start our journey?
Hi,
I am a work in progress. But I still think I’m ready for a loving relationship. I want to start the journey with my person.
I’m 27 years old and I have a fairly significant physical disability, cerebral palsy. That basically means that I need help with almost everything, from bathing, dressing, all that good stuff like that. I’ve had a couple other setbacks as well that have prevented me from really pursuing independence, but I’m starting that journey now in earnest. This might be TMI but I’m setting up a meeting with my parents so we can discuss a roadmap to maximum independence.
Having a disability has made it hard to “find myself.”I have a few major interests, namely politics, geography, and history. But I’m looking for more hobbies. I’ll be completely honest. It’s tough to develop your own identity when you rely someone else’s help That said, I do have a great passion for learning. Wikipedia is my favorite website in the world and I just love knowing a little bit about a lot of things.
As for TV, I like stand-up comedy, Saturday Night Live, Futurama, Ted Lasso. On the dramatic side, I like Breaking Bad Better Call Saul, Severance, stuff like that.
And I absolutely love music. I know that sounds generic but I literally have my headphones on for the majority of my date. It’s hard to talk about favorite artist or genres because I’m the type of person to find a song on spotify and play it over and over and over. Sometimes it is here a certain song, no matter the genre, and it just grabs me. In fact, I find it easier to communicate my feelings through song lyrics most of the time.
Now, for what I’m really passionate about, politics. I am a committed progressive/social democrat. Basically, I believe every human should be free to live how they wish, so long as they don’t harm others or themselves. This means I believe deeply in women’s rights and LGBTQ+ rights. I also believe that America, as a wealthy nation, has the resources to take care of its citizens. I believe in free enterprise, but I also believe that the government should create conditions which allow people to pursue full and fulfilling lives. This means support for a living wage, healthcare as a right, paid time off as a guarantee for every worker.
I’ve always felt this way but my philosophy really came together this past summer. My family and I were lucky enough to go on a trip to Ireland last July. We got to stay in a really nice hotel. Pretty much every room in the hotel had a view of this small lake. I don’t know what it was about that particular lake, but I couldn’t stop looking at it. I felt a sense of calm and contentment that I had never really felt before. And that's when I knew that everyone should be able to have the same feeling I had. At least a couple days a year where people can just relax, relatively free of worry. That’s what I want to fight for
Getting back to personal stuff. I also like to meet a girl and take her back to that hotel and share that sense of calm with her. Now, I am 5’7” tall and I am relatively heavy. I have a plan to lose some weight but it is difficult as someone who is relatively sedentary.
I am looking for a close and affectionate relationship. My disability has meant that I have had very little intimate contact of any kind. So I would like someone who is open-minded with a relatively high sex drive. I should say though. Due to disability reasons I may need a little blue pill. We can cross that bridge when we come to it though. I haven’t really experimented with it, but I am kink inclined. What that exactly means, I’m not sure yet.
I don’t really have any strict standards. All I ask is that you are between 20 and 35, single and willing to meet me relatively soon in Nashville, Tennessee.. I know I’m a work in progress. It’s going to take a where I’m going but I have a lot of love to give and I feel like I’m ready to give that to someone, at least.
Apologies for typos. They are pretty hard to avoid when using a dictation software.
As long as this is up, I am open to replies.
