So back in high school(when I was 17) I went out with this girl for a while, it was the most committed relationship I had ever been in and I was head-over-heels in love with her. I was confident that I would only have eyes for her for the rest of my life and I was happy for it, because at that time, she was all that I felt I needed. I felt like, even if the whole world turned against me, as long as I had her it would be enough. All the way from the start, there were tons of red flags. She had a victim complex and it turned out that she was a massive lair. She would still talk to one of her exes(who creeped on her our whole relationship) and she would actively try to make me jealous by acting extra buddy buddy with other dudes(including her ex) I guess to make herself feel valued by me. She would ignore my feelings and would seldom give me any time with her despite my efforts. She would divy up her free time to be about 4/5 hanging out with her friends and 1/5 hanging out with me outside of school. Her reasoning for this went that because, out of all of the people she could cancel regular plans with, I was the only one who wouldn't get mad so it was okay. So consequently, it was rare that we would hang out just us more than once a month, and even then often she would let one of her friends or her sister tag along on the days we would have scheduled for just me and her. It really sucked, but that little time we had for just us made me feel like a million bucks each time. Our sex life was pretty trash considering we were both virgins at the beginning of the relationship combined with her past sexual trauma. It turns out sex just didn't sit well with her, she didn't like it and she didn't want to have it. She didn't communicate that with me for months until we broke up. I tried to talk things out but she just never give me the time of day. I'll never forget it, I told her about something she was doing that was hurting my feelings and she dead ass said "I don't care". That relationship drug on for far too long after that little interaction because I still loved her so much. I was jaded enough to think we could work it out and that everything would be fine as long as we were together. It was weird, a few weeks before the relationship ended she randomly walked up to me in the hall at school and told me "don't worry, you didnt rape me" I thought that was fucking bizarre because it was stating the obvious to me. I should have broken up with her way sooner, but I let it drag out until she broke up with me. After the breakup I was destroyed, totally heartbroken, just blaming myself for not being good enough. Fast forward a few months after the breakup, I am still not recovered, I still really love her, we hadnt talked since the break up. I wake up one morning to a mountain of texts from a bunch of different people. It turns out that at her latest birthday party, you guessed it, she told everyone there that I had raped her and all of those texts were people asking me about the situation. I was flabbergasted, I didn't even know what to think. I kept questioning myself almost gaslighting myself into thinking that I really did rape her and for a while I felt like the biggest piece of shit on the planet. I was terrified, I thought my life was over. I even texted all of her friends that I personally knew and not one of them told me that they believed it, they knew she was full of shit. Unfortunately, though, one of our mutual friends, my so called best female friend that I harve ever had took her side, believed it like the word of god and didn't even try to get my side of the story before never talking to me again. That really hurt. I probably went into too much detail, but it makes me feel better to type a lot of it out because it was traumatic.
TL;DR: My ex emotionally abused me after I fell in love with her, falsely accused me of rape, and I lost a ton of friends, it really hurt, I'm still recoiling.
I'm 23 now, ever since that experience I have not been able to really motivate myself to try and get into another real relationship. I did get into one but it didn't last because I just didnt know what I wanted, I thought I was over that last relationship, but I didn't know and my indecisiveness led to me not being good for the girl I was with. I messed that relationship all up, I really regret it. Now I just focus on college and don't get out very much anymore. I almost feel scared to get too invested like I did. But I still want to get into another relationship eventually, love is the best feeling life has to offer, better than any drug. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut being complacent, wasting my youth. Its like I haven't even tried in so long, hell I don't even know how to try anymore. Does anyone else feel this way? Any advice? I always thought that if I just let time go on, then I would just forget all about my negative experiences, but it doesn't work that way.

I don't know why this aggravates me soo much, but it just really pisses me off when someone is just terrible with time management.
Like you know those people, the ones who go on and on about how busy they are, as if they're a single mom who works 80 hours a week and is busy studying towards an engineering degree.
But then when you ask them what they actually have to do each week, it's barely fucking anything. They'll just be like "Oh I have to write 2 essays this week."
I'm not going to deny that that is a bit of work, but it's not nearly the amount of work they act like it is.
And then they'll be like "Oh I don't have time to showecook/hang out with friends this week"
Like yes you do bro, it's not a mountain of work you're just shit at time management.

We live in a world of data. It can fuel almost everything in your business—from SEO to scalability, but only if you know how to harness its power. This is where data processing services come into the picture. It is the process of transforming raw humongous volumes of data into valuable information. Businesses across financial analysis to healthcare leverage data processing to make sense of the data. No doubt it has become an increasingly important aspect and a valuable tool for modern businesses looking to gain an edge in the industry.
Data Processing Cycle
Raw data is of no use to any business. It needs to be collected, cleansed, processed, analyzed, and presented in a readable format, making it fit for business consumption. By translating raw facts and figures into readable formats such as charts, graphs, and documents, employees can understand and use this data to propel growth—and this is what data processing does.
The process includes a series of steps where input in the form of raw data is converted into actionable insights using machines. The entire procedure is repeated in a cyclic manner and each step is taken in a specific order. The output of the first cycle can be saved and stored as well as fed as the input for the next data processing cycle.
Step 1: Collection
Data collection lays the foundation for the data processing cycle. The quality of raw data collected hugely impacts the output. Therefore, data should be collected from defined and verified sources to ensure that subsequent findings are valid and reliable. This includes user behavior, website cookies, monetary figures, profit/loss statements of a company, and so on.
Step 2: Preparation
As the name suggests, data is prepared in this stage. The raw data is sorted and filtered to eliminate inaccuracies, duplication, miscalculations, incomplete, or missing entries. It is then transformed into a suitable format for further processing and analysis.
The data cleansing/preparation step removes bad data (redundant, erroneous, or unnecessary data) to get high-quality information at easy disposal. This info can be further used in the best possible way for business intelligence. In short, the purpose of this step is to ensure that only the highest quality data enters the processing unit.
Step 3: Input
Raw data is translated into a machine-readable language, which is then fed into the processing unit. The input can be in the form of data entry through a keyboard, RFID tags through a barcode scanner, or any other input device.
Step 4: Processing
Here, raw data is processed using Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Artificial Intelligence algorithms to generate an output. Based on the source of data being processed, such as online databases, data lakes, connected devices, etc., this step may vary slightly from process to process as well as the intended use of the results.
Step 5: Output
The input is finally translated and displayed in a human-readable format such as pie charts, graphs, tables, audio, video, vector files, documents, etc. The results of this data processing cycle can be stored for further processing in the next cycle.
Step 6: Storage
As the last step of the data processing cycle, results from the previous steps are stored for future use. It not only facilitates quick transfer, access, and retrieval of information but also allows analysts to use this result as input for the next data processing cycle directly.
Types of Data Processing
Just as every business has unique requirements, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach that can be used to process data. Based on the source of data as well as the steps taken by the processing unit to generate an output, there are different types of data processing. Some of these are listed below:

• Batch Processing: Like its name, data is gathered and processed in batches. This method is ideal for processing large amounts of data; for example a payroll system.
• Real-time Processing: You can use this type to process small amounts of data and get the output within seconds. Withdrawing money from an ATM is an apt example of this.
• Online Processing: As soon as the data becomes available, it is automatically fed into the CPU. Online processing is best used for the continuous processing of data. For example, barcode scanning.
• Multiprocessing: It is also known as parallel processing. Unlike online processing, multiprocessing leverages two or more CPUs within a single computer system to break down data into frames and process the same. For example, weather forecasting.

Data Processing Applications
Data processing helps businesses to unlock their true potential, streamline workflows, enhance security, make data-based decisions, and maintain their competitive edge. Here are some important reasons why companies should lay special emphasis on high-quality data processing:

• Extract Valuable insights: Data processing enables enterprises to extract useful information and game-changing insights from large complicated sets of raw data.
• Foster Data-driven Decision-Making: Organizations can make decisions based on in-depth insights gained with the help of customized data processing solutions. Hence, it becomes an essential tool for business intelligence.
• Enhanced Efficiency: You can leverage data processing insights to streamline operations and remodel existing workflows (if needed) by identifying inefficiencies in the process and optimizing them.
• Customer Behavior Analysis: Customer data like their demographics, purchasing behavior, and frequency, including items bought, etc., can be processed to determine their purchasing patterns and preferences. This helps e-tailers to develop customized marketing strategies and improve customer satisfaction.
• Delivering Better Treatment: Data processing insights can be used to improve diagnosis and treatment plans in the healthcare industry. Patient data such as medical history, symptoms, and test results can be processed to get a comprehensive understanding of their condition. This results in improved patient outcomes and better treatment decisions.
• Financial Management: The financial sector leverages data processing results to monitor and manage financial performance, which includes monitoring cash flow, tracking investments, and analyzing financial statements. Processing financial data enables enterprises to make informed decisions about investment, spending, and other financial management strategies.

Wrapping Up
Data processing is the method of gathering and deciphering raw data into valuable information. Experienced data processing companies can help enterprises to collect, filter, sort, process, analyze, and present their most valuable digital asset into usable insights. Thus, businesses of B2B and B2C contexts can leverage these insights to create data-driven strategies and maintain a competitive edge.

Hi, I’ve never used Grailed and after checking it out for a bit, I’m thinking about buying a FTP jacket, how would I go about checking seller legitimacy? I see the authenticity tag on the post saying the clothing is verified and the seller has 7 transactions but 0 reviews and only the one listing, but I’m not sure if there’s anything else I should be checking, I can add photos if anyone wants to see what I’m looking at. Any help would be appreciated.

We are in Italy and in the morning while checking out some random guys stole our camera from our car. My husband was putting the luggage in the car and the car was unlocked. There was a random person in the parking who started asking something to my husband. While my husband replied him his friend came from behind and stole the camera out of the passenger seat. This happened literally in the span 20 seconds. When my husband notice they both were gone. He told the hotel reception the weren’t helpful at all about the situation and started saying we aren’t responsible for the parking even though it was there private parking. The manager wasn’t even showing the security footage. Upon insisting she showed the footage and everything was caught on camera. We could even see the face of the man who stole the camera from the car after that the guy tried to pick the suitcase but left. But the manager was insisting the he didn’t do it and was making excuses for them. Then we called police from there they noted everything took details and told us to report to the nearest police station. We went there the women couldn’t speak English she sent us to another police station. At this second one they said it’s an immigration police station go to another one. I told the police woman there about the situation oh it’s just a camera and then they gave us another address and there we were told the samt thing that it’s not a complaint center go back to the nearby police station. At this point we just gave up. The whole situation was fucking bizarre and the response of hotel staff and the authorities was the worst. Tbh we knew we weren’t going to get the camera back but we saw the faces of those assholes on security camera and we really wanted to at least report them so they don’t do this to somebody else. This was such a special trip for my family and we are so sad that we lost all the pictures on camera.

To whomsoever it may concern,
I have been getting repeated emails from different customer care representatives, up to 5 in a day. Hence, I am emailing each of you the full summary of my case, in the hope that you stop bombarding me with emails daily.
This is regarding my order ID NYK-**** The order was placed on 4th May, and was delivered on 7th May. However, much to my disappointment, the order items were incomplete. That is, the shirt and pajama set was delivered without the pajamas, and similarly the shorts and shirt set was delivered without the shorts. I emailed nykaa fashion customer care on 7th of May, and sent them the photos that they had requested. However, they reverted saying that internal investigations have revealed no such discrepancy. I spoke to the representative, I asked him details of the “internal investigation” and he said they will be shared with me but they never were. I lodged a complaint on consumer court. Subsequently, nykaa fashion agreed to pick up and refund me for the same. Unfortunately, over a period of 2 weeks, the delivery agents of Delhivery refused to pick up my order as the title had “Set” in it and what I was returning was not a set. They told me I am handing over incomplete items, which I explained to them was the reason for the return but as no such information was provided to them, they refused to pick it up.
Again, I spoke to nykaa fashion customer care multiple times. In particular, I spoke to Ms. Gunjan and Mr. Vishal from the escalation desk. Ms Gunjan attempted “Manual pick up”, which again failed. Hence, on 21st of may, Ms Gunjan advised me to self courier and provided me the following address and contact people to contact for the same.
Plot No. 55/1,55/2,55/3, MADANAYAKANAHALLI VILLAGE, DASANAPURAHOBLI, Bengaluru (Bangalore) Rural, Karnataka, 562162
Contact Person Deatail- Sweta, Manoj (9980877991, 9844399182)
I self couriered the package via Delhivery on 23rd May. The delivery agent has tried daily to deliver the order over the last 4 days, but has been unable to contact Sweta, whose details I had provided.
Disappointed with this, I decided to contact Sweta and Manoj on 29th May. I called them multiple times between 10 and 11am. They cut my call or did not receive it. Finally, Manoj reverted back to me via SMS and asked for details of my case. Which I emailed to him. Then Manoj informed me that the address provided by Ms. Gunjan/Nykaa fashion customer care is of the OLD warehouse. And that of the new warehouse would be shared. The details are as follows;
Nykaa Fashion Pvt Ltd(NER)
Survey No 29/1 & 30,
Obanayakanahalli, Nelamangala,KasabaHobli Bengaluru RuralKarnataka, 562123.
Phone-9108900626/7619663604(mahesh/harish)
This email is to bring to your kind attention that I have contacted your customer care multiple times of the period of last 3-4 weeks. I have provided all the information required from your end, and I have put in the extra effort to courier you the incomplete set. Yet your customer care has repeatedly lied to me, and not provided me the correct information. The pincode of the two addresses are different and hence the delhivery agent will not be delivering to the new address and they may cancel this order. The incompetence of those at nykaa fashion customer care knows no bounds. Currently your customer is more aware of your new warehouse than you are, a so called representative of this multinational company. I have faced incomplete delivery by multiple agencies before and I have never been harassed or mentally tortured to this extent. I have wasted my hard earned money and my valuable time as a doctor on your incompetent customer care.
I am attaching all the relevant screen shots, and sending this email to each customer care executive who has emailed me asking for some tiny detail multiple times in a day.
I spoke to Priyanka today, who told me she will discuss with the senior team to process my refund regardless of the delivery. I hope someone has the sense to see how this is the correct decision.
Kindly issue full refund of my order, including shipping fees. And kindly go to your old warehouse and pick up the order if you please.
I hope I, nor my family nor friends, ever have the misfortune of dealing with Nykaa Fashion Customer care.
TL;DR: Don't order from Nykaa Fashion.

Hey gals! So I'm a trans woman, and so far I have been taking hormones for about 8 months.
I used the calculator to measure my size (34 C/D) and I told my female friend, I showed her my boobs, and she thinks I am more likely to have a smaller cup sizes, probably B.
The thing is that I wanted to order a bra but with such different estimates I am unsure which size to order.
Would anyone be willing to help me get a broad estimate on my cup size? I could send photos.
Or do you have any other ideas on what I could try/should do? I will definitely not go to a bra shop. I know that they are probably the best at measuring but I havent socially transitioned and would be really scared to go there.

I bought a barely used, 11 month old X-Pro3 in September 2021 and I loved it. I loved the form, I loved the images it makes, I loved the flip down screen, all good.
After about 6 months I realised the shutter button no longer clicks a second time. There's a click for focus but then the button is simply soft. On electronic shutter, there is zero feedback that you've actually taken an image. It's a pain, I'd miss a shot here or there but, looking online, it didn't appear that this issue affected too many people. A handful of cases. At 5 months out of warranty and no recall, I told myself I'd pay to get it fixed when I find the time. What i did find online was a bunch of people complaining about the sub monitor failing. Greeaat.
Fast forward a year and I've kinda come to terms with the shutter button, working around it and just putting up with it when low and behold the sub monitor konks out. Looking around online again and apparently the main monitor often dies shortly after. There are talks of a class action lawsuit in the US but nothing is really coming of it. Coupled with the news that it's no longer being manufactured and no replacement announced, it kinda feels like a failed experiment.
For the overpriced piece of kit that it is, you'd think that it would be a bit more reliable. I've never dropped it, never gotten it wet. These days it's all photos of my kids and all-too-rare street photography walks. It's pretty disappointing to see the wheels start to fall off on a 2.5 year old camera.
I'll likely pay to get it back to fully functional and sell it for a xt4 or something.
How does everyone else with an xpro3 feel about it's worth and longevity?

I am planning on attending a funeral for a Medal Of Honor recipient at a National Cemetery today and I have an etiquette question I am hoping someone here can answer.
If I am standing at a distance from the graveside, would it be considered acceptable to take photographs of the ceremony (horse drawn carriage, honor guard, flag draped coffin, etc.) so long as I avoid direct photos of any grieving family members?

i had an lps caterpillar (or possibly inchworm) plush when i was a kid but i can’t find any photos/evidence of it ever existing online. it’s driving me insane man lmao.
i don’t know anything about lps anymore so maybe i’m just not searching the right things. also possible that i’m somehow misremembering it being an lps plush, but it was my favourite plushie and i was really into lps at the time, and i had several other lps plush too and it was the exact same style.
it was not either of these ones btw.
this was in the uk, maybe like 10-12 years ago, so maybe it was just a uk exclusive or something. it was one of the smaller ones (same size as these), not one of the larger vip ones that came with a code. it was soft, like same kind of material as the seal in that pic i attached as opposed to spider. the colour was similar to mint green but slightly darker, and it had a rectangular head but its body was facing sideways.
just wanna know if anyone else remembers it, or even has a photo of it lol

If it does not sell as a single lot by end of day and there are individual pieces you would like, you can request them at $2.50/gram + $5 shipping.
I have done by best to remove all items with stones, and have advertised this 2g underweight to compensate for anything missed. Note that sterling pins may have stainless steel hinges for durability - this is normal.
