The year is 2065 and the world is dying. Technology however has continued to leap forward in 2030 Outian Technologies created the first AI that not only passed the Turing test but could be programmed and trained just as well as a living person. This revolutionized most jobs and caused a massive fallout of lost jobs as the AI were simple to install and could perform the intellectual labor of dozens of employees in a fraction of the time. The Founder and Owner of Outian Technologies, Glen U. Zautner, however was the first human to pass into the Trillionare status. With his newfound wealth he did what all mega wealthy men did, he started a space program Æthelwulf LLC, though his ambitions were beyond what the Billionaires of the 2020s could belief. He employed his AI technology and millions of men and women to craft a space station able to carry humanity not just to Mars but to the nearest livable planet in the TRAPPIST-1 System due to it harboring multiple habitable planets. Though even with all his advances in technology it appeared as though the journey would take 30,000 years with the state of the art ship he was creating and with a path specifically calculated by his AI. This is when he began to buy more corporations as the population speculated on what he was doing. His first purchase was a failing business known as Novromics Group a business that was attempting to use the newly manufactured brain/human interfaces to establish a virtual afterlife. Only a few years after his purchase the company turned around and brought in billions more to fuel his endeavor as almost every person began signing up for the extremely reasonable price to become immortal, though there were issues with the 'Heavens' being limited and over time the minds would grow distant to their former lives. Though at the same time he purchased Novromics Group He also purchased the gaming company Gremlin Inc after their 5th major open world release that has not only revolutionized the gaming industry but also logged more playtime hours than any other game in history "Broken Lands: Online" had captured the minds and imaginations of all the unemployed and destitute people of the world. His purchase came with next to unlimited funds, resources from his AI labs and computer industries along with another purchase of the Virtual Reality Company Honian Bionic Realities. Rybanks Cryogentics, Olive Branch Computing along with some of the most brilliant and creative minds the world had to offer were quickly snatched up by his overwhelming pay. Over the next 30 years he invested more and more of his trillions of dollars and with investments from others still seemed to shift the worlds economy to producing his ship and grand idea. In the year 2060 he released his grand plan, he was going to bring humanity out of this dying world. 10 million people would join him, his investors, specially chosen men and women with vast knowledges. Their were only 5 million slots able to be purchased at the staggering cost of 2 million a person, the rest were given out based on genetic information and a lottery. Those chosen would wear a large brain/mind attachment for 5 years as it uploaded and mimicked their brain patterns. They would be brought in constantly to special VR training areas to map out their minds and train them to live in this new world. Finally within one week of the launch date every participant was given a character creation menu and base information about the world they would be entering. A fantasy world crafted by the join ventures of the team at Gremlin Inc and Honian Bionic Realities, a world meant to challenge and let people stay entertained for years to come...but there was a catch...
I have been working on a rpg setup that allows for mostly text based interactions as opposed to Dungeons and Dragons meant for parties and live play. If you are interested to give it a try feel free to message me. The world is fairly dark but it isn’t an endless slog of nightmares.
I have a character building setup and a fun 1 on 1 tutorial level. Feel free to Dm.

2023.06.01 13:15 Cattlemenswife How to Set Oil Maintenance to 15k miles
How can I reset the warning to 10K or better yet 15k?
I have a 2021 Sienna Platinum and get synthetic oil, so only need a change every 10-15k miles. I get a Service Required warning - WHICH BLOCKS THE SPEEDOMETER - every 5k because Toyota wants me to rotate tires and all kinds of other costly extras every 5k. I do that myself. I like the reminder, I don't like having my car's dashboard rendered non-functional.
*I do know how to "reset" the maintenance message in the dashboard, but that only silences it for about 2 weeks, then it's back. It has made it so I ignore ALL messages, which is not a good habit. I'd like to just set it so that its actually useful.

2023.06.01 13:08 Keanu_Jeeves_ Rage Post: The App SUCKS at Downloading Videos
I’m so FREAKING tired of having to pause and resume downloads to get it to download, or when that doesn’t work having to fully delete all my downloading videos and then go find them all again to restart downloading, or when even that doesn’t work just having to wait a few hours and try again to get it to work. I regularly have to go into zero signal areas so I like to keep content downloaded and it is so unbelievably frustrating that downloading videos only works right the first time about 50% of the time. It’s been like this for years and I’ve had a few different phones and make sure all updates are installed. How are they such a big platform (one of the biggest if not the biggest) and still have not figured this out? It’s legit pathetic, and I probably find it even more frustrating since I pay like 40/mo for a premium family plan so to me it’s like a service I pay for. FIGURE IT OUT YOUTUBE, ITS BEEN NEARLY 20 YEARS

2023.06.01 12:56 Call_Me_Relish The Title Was The Problem
I know I have referred to this point before when discussing possible tactics for a future for the series, but it just gnaws at me the more I think about it. The fact that the title of the series is “A League Of Their Own” is the the reason its fate has always been precarious.
Obviously, Amazon and Sony wanted to cash in on nostalgia for the 1992 film. Unfortunately, that apparently meant toning down the elements of the series that made it so much deeper than the film. Remember that leak back in March that revealed that an Amazon executive had prevented the series trailer from featuring any queer content because it was “off-putting?” That was because the company was courting the wrong demographic. This series is not for nostalgists longing for a bowdlerized America. It is for those of us on the margins, who are only just beginning to see ourselves accurately represented in popular media. Why wasn’t the series’ publicity targeting us? Because of its title.
Furthermore, it is the very use of the title of the ‘92 film that makes the series so expensive to make in the first place. Sure, the costuming costs and the CGI for the baseball scenes contribute to the high price tag. But why were negotiations so difficult and so prolonged? Because Sony owns the rights to the title. The series contains none of the same characters as the film. It doesn’t follow the same plot line as the film. Sure, it contained some elements that paid tribute to the film, but TV shows and films often contain homages to predecessors with which they share no official connection. And, other than the running-to-catch-the-train scene, none of the direct shout-outs to the film were vital to the plot, and could easily have been reworked or removed if intellectual property were in dispute.
In addition to all that, the title “A League Of Their Own” is a misnomer for the series. It has two protagonists, one of whom is barred from the AAGPBL, and thus, ends up playing in a different league. “Two Leagues Ahead” would’ve been a more accurate title, and would’ve headed off the assault from internet trolls who maligned the series without even seeing it by claiming it was a “woke reboot” that inaccurately depicted history because Black players were not allowed in the AAGPBL. That level of trolling probably did have an effect, sad to say; there are probably a lot of politically apathetic potential viewers out there who don’t hate us but are tired of remakes and reboots that attempt to right the wrongs of their predecessors with cumbersome, preachy updates that have all the subtlety of a falling piano, and thus, didn’t bother giving the series a chance.
Just had to get that off my chest. I am filled with righteous rage this Pride Month!

2023.06.01 12:48 GTCapone Been dying a lot in my dreams lately.
To preface, I'm terrified of dying. Any form hits hard but the worst is heights (only reason I didn't go through with my attempt back when) and in my sleep.
Anyway, I've been dying a lot in my nightmares lately. It's usually one of the two ways above (well, I guess not IN my sleep, but drifting off). I just woke up from one where an IV line for a transfusion got shot up (made sense in the dream but I don't remember the context.) and I bled out while everyone tried frantically to stop it. There was a lot of really horrific and gory imagery prior to it as well. I'll post what I can remember hidden as spoilers if anyone wants to know, but you're better off not, it'd be NSFW to the extreme (think THAT scene from MGSV but worse). Oddly enough, it was a pretty nice dream before it took a turn.
Another was from a while ago. I sent a message explaining it to my wife, so I'll use that:
"I was teaching at a poor school, at least sort of. Sometimes I think I was a student instead. At some point, a bunch of bees or hornets started swarming the school and I got stung a bunch. It hurt, and I couldn't move much.
Eventually, I could move again and was watching someone's young class, maybe 7-8 year olds. I think some of them were from that camp I did a few weeks ago.
Anyway, I suddenly notice that my face and lips feel puffy and my tounge is swelling. I immediately thought anaphylactic shock and wheeze out for an epi-pen right as my throat closed up.
Luckily, one of the kids has one and doses me, I'm almost positive it's the smallest kid from the camp. I remember her because she was really smart and knew everything already, but so small and quiet that you could barely make her out.
The pen worked and I got taken to the nurses office, except it's more like a clinic with a bunch of nurses. I'm being checked out there, looking at the box for the pen so I can reimburse the family for the cost, when my throat closes up again.
I fall down and they put in a nasal farangial tube so I can breath. Then, for some reason I also get put on heart bypass and I can see my blood pumping through the tubes, but I can't move anymore and I think I heard them say I lost 3 liters of blood and that's bad. As they wheel my gurney to the ambulance, I start getting tired and can't see much and my thoughts start drifting. Eventually, it just fades out like I'm going to sleep but I know that it could be me dying and I don't know which. So I go to sleep with a sort of exhausted, confused terror.
Then I woke up and realized I was dreaming.
It hit on, like, my top 5-10 fears all in one sequence."
I don't have an example of heights, but I know it's happened before. I think the drifting off thing has been coming up more lately because I had a bout of breathing problems while falling asleep recently (still waiting to hear back from the VA about doing a sleep study for that.)

With the increasing scarcity of water resources and the growing need for sustainability, conducting regular water audits has become imperative. Save Water What is a Water Audit? A water audit is a comprehensive assessment of water consumption, distribution, and utilization within a specific area or facility. It involves examining water supply systems, identifying leaks or inefficiencies, and recommending measures to improve water conservation and efficiency. Water audits aim to provide a detailed understanding of water usage patterns and identify areas where improvements can be made. Importance of Water Audit Services Effective water management is vital for various reasons. First and foremost, it helps conserve water, a precious resource that is depleting at an alarming rate. By identifying and rectifying leaks, inefficient fixtures, and wasteful practices, water audits contribute to reducing water consumption and conserving natural resources. Moreover, water audits help in cost savings. Undetected leaks or inefficient water systems can lead to significant financial losses.

2023.06.01 12:41 Alcalash P173500 Error code help Kodiaq 1.5L 2019 5 seater
 | Hi Everyone, I have a 2019 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5L 5 seater and I was driving down the motorway on cruise control when the warning "Emergency mode for gearbox enabled", this then also turned on the engine warning light. submitted by Alcalash to skoda [link] [comments] I took this to an independent garage for automatic cars near me in the UK and they did a computer analysis to find faults and I was given the below information (screenshot attached) of a 10666 P173500 position sensor for clutch 1 electrical error. The mechanic said to me that the only solution is to replace the unit which will cost me £2500 excluding any programming or installation work and on top of this it is on back order, has anyone else had this issue before and how was it resolved and what did it cost? Since the fault they cleared the errors so the engine light is now off, before I call Skoda I wanted to get a better understanding of the issue and what I should say. Something to note is we have had the car for 1 year and 3 months, we have done less than 10,000 miles in that time and in total it has done 36500miles. Thank you for your help in advance |
2023.06.01 12:35 SrijanK Deep Dive: IBM and Hedera
 | Over the past several weeks, I have tried to research IBM’s involvement in the Hedera ecosystem, especially their focus on the Hedera Consensus Service and how Hedera fits into the Hyperledger Fabric mechanism, which seems to be what the IBM Blockchain Platform uses for its blockchain use cases. I would like to share my findings below: submitted by SrijanK to Hedera [link] [comments] Timeline:
From Bryan Gross' presentation on the Hedera Consensus Service: IBM blockchain started in mid 2015 when clients really began asking us our opinion on blockchain and whether or not they should get involved in it. So, we did some exploratory work and got really excited about it but unfortunately we were not able to find a distributed ledger technology that was compatible with the requirements of business - things like privacy and confidentiality, and that led us to start prototyping something that became known as the Open Blockchain and we donated the code development resource and intellectual property to the Linux Foundation, and this ultimately became the Hyperledger project in early 2016. This early adoption and insight into blockchain by IBM has helped us become the recognized leader in blockchain for business.Don Thibeau, who was on Offering Manager at IBM Blockchain prior to joining Hedera in August 2018, mentions the following in a podcast from November 2022: At IBM, my primary focus was an open-source project called Hyperledger Fabric, which helped to build permissioned networks for those different use cases, and of course, the IBM blockchain platform, which helped to make that available as a service. IBM joins the Hedera Governing Council At the time of joining the council, IBM said it is most interested in how the public network interacts with private networks. As per Bryan Gross from IBM (for some background, Bryan co-authored the HCS whitepaper, served as the IBM representative on the Hedera GC from IBM's joining until June 2020 when he quit IBM. He subsequently also served as an advisor to Hedera Hashgraph from June 2020 to Feb 2021), The most exciting part is the proposed Hedera Consensus Service. It has the potential to provide the core innovation of proof-of-work blockchains, like bitcoin and ethereum, without the performance and privacy trade-offs that are typically associated with these networks.Hedera Consensus Service makes it possible for Hyperledger projects out there to use the service to put transactions in order and eliminate the need for them to stand up nodes for transaction ordering, and they get the trust model of a public network,” Harmon said. [Source] From Hedera’s press release announcing IBM's entry into the council, Jerry Cuomo, Vice President of Blockchain Technologies at IBM, said: We are excited to join the Hedera Governing Council and explore relationships between public networks and industry-specific networks. Hyperledger has proven to be the de facto standard enterprises use to build, manage, and deploy blockchain-based ledgers. We believe Hedera could help provide an interesting way to enhance and simplify the deployment of Hyperledger Fabric in the enterprise, making it easier for groups to build and grow their networks.As a sidenote, all 9 of IBM’s representative to the Hedera Governing Council have been top executives within the IBM Blockchain Platform, clearly indicating the level of IBM's involvement into Hedera:
While we discuss IBM’s role and use of Hedera, it is critical to understand the Hedera Consensus Service, which, as can be seen above, has always been the focal point of IBM’s involvement. Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is a purpose-built tool for creating decentralized, auditable logs of immutable and timestamped events for web2 and web3 applications. Messages are submitted to the Hedera network for consensus, given a trusted timestamp, and fairly ordered. HCS is used by applications in production to track provenance across supply chains, log asset transfers between blockchain networks, count votes in a DAO, monitor IoT devices, and more. Hedera is the first public distributed ledger that allows developers to build their own application networks (appnet), a set of computers which enable privacy but utilize the trust of Hedera’s public ledger as their consensus engine. This service takes full advantage of hashgraph’s high-throughput for speed and asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance for security. Hedera Consensus Service can be used standalone or as a decentralized ordering service with other ledgers, such as Hyperledger Fabric, Corda, or Ethereum. IBM formalizes the HCS Model From Hedera's blog piece announcing the IBM Blockchain Platform Tech Preview - A leader in permissioned networks, original co-author of the Hedera Consensus Service whitepaper, and current Hedera Governing Council member, IBM, wants to formalize this model. To do so, they've announced the IBM Blockchain Tech Preview with Hedera Consensus Service.From the Tech Preview, IBM mentions the following: The importance of the ecosystem is what led us to join the Hedera Governing Council for Hedera Hashgraph back in 2019. Since we began our relationship with Hedera, they have done nothing but deliver valuable innovations that support and enhance capabilities within the enterprise blockchain space.With Hedera Consensus Service, Hedera provides an immutable, decentralized, and ordered log of every transaction. Enterprises, regulators, and end-users can be more comfortable about their privacy, while still enabling the decentralized trust required for their application. IBM Blockchain Platform and Hedera are blending the world of private and public ledgers. From Leemon's video introducing HCS, co-presented by Bryan Gross from IBM, Leemon mentions that using Hyperledger Fabric with Hedera's Consensus Service allows you to have the privacy of a Hyperledger private network, and the trust of the Hedera Network. This hybrid architecture takes advantage of a more decentralized network while still preserving the privacy of its participants and their transactions. The Tech Preview was an overview explaining how two separate offerings 1) the IBM Blockchain Platform and 2) the Hedera Consensus Service can work together at the application layer to support a Private Blockchain Network based on Hyperledger Fabric with decentralized ordering provided by the Hedera Consensus Service plug-in. Ultimately, the Tech Preview is a blockchain use case with enhanced auditability and public trust - putting to use the decentralized and verifiable events of Hedera Hashgraph while preserving transaction privacy within IBM Blockchain Platform.

From Bryan Gross’ presentation on Introduction to Hedera Consensus Service: IBM blockchain platform is powered by hyperledger fabric, but Hyperledger fabric is a framework or a toolkit but it's not a running network like Hedera.. and so in order to get value from a Hyperledger fabric Network, a network operator must deploy nodes start or join a network and install and substantiate chain code. In this process, the network operator relies on three fabric components because fabric is really built in this modular way where you can swap in and out these different components to meet your use case.
Hyperledger Fabric Interoperability The Hedera Consensus Service proof-of-concept use case is providing custom Hyperledger Fabric networks with decentralized consensus on the validity and order of blockchain transactions without the need to configure a RAFT or Kafka ordering service. The Hedera Consensus Service will make a global, fault tolerant, and cost-effective ordering service available to any Hyperledger Fabric network built today. The Hedera Consensus Service provides any Fabric network the ability to order transactions with high throughput using a global network of nodes that do not need to be operated or individually trusted by the members of the Fabric network. This will reduce operational cost of Fabric-based solutions, improve resiliency to data center outages, and alleviate the need to determine who operates private Fabric ordering services per network. The Hedera Consensus Service reduces the cost of operating private networks, enables both privacy and scalability, and improves the trust model over both private ledgers and centralized servers. TL;D Conclusion Based on all the above, IBM seems to be fully invested in the Hedera ecosystem, more so with the Hedera Consensus Service which forms a key offering in its Blockchain Platform. Hedera's role in these architectures by IBM is simple. With Hedera Consensus Service, Hedera is providing an immutable, decentralized, and ordered log of every transaction. Enterprises, regulators, and end-users can be more comfortable about their privacy, while still enabling the decentralized trust required for their application. IBM Blockchain Platform and Hedera are blending the world of private and public ledgers. |
2023.06.01 12:30 jburm New used bike day - Santa Cruz Megatower C
 | Just purchased this turd of a bike over the weekend. This bike came across my facebook feed from a local seller. He was asking $1100 and we settled on $1000 after inspecting the bike. The seller had purchased the bike from a bike shop out west during a rental sale. It's been well used and not very well maintained. submitted by jburm to MTB [link] [comments] The good: The drivetrain is in good working order albeit low end parts (Sram NX). Chain is well under 50% wear. The suspension is fully functional. The dropper post is fully functional. The brakes are working. The wheels are true. The bad: The frame is littered with scratches and scuffs. The paint is faded and the clear coat is peeling along the top tube. All of the bearings were shot. They looked as if they had never seen the light of day since install. They were rusted, crunchy, and packed full of dirt and sand. No amount of cleaning and grease helped revive them. The tires were dry rotted on the sidewalls and side knobs. The cranks look like someone took a metal grinder to them. The handlebars and grips look like they've been beaten with a hammer. Thankfully most of the major online bike shops were doing memorial day sales so I was able to pick up some replacement parts at decent prices. Jenson was doing a sale on Maxxis tires so those have been ordered. I was lucky to find another sale on facebook for a like new Sram X1 carbon crankset for $150. Additional parts on order include new carbon handlebars, grips, stealth thru axles, seat, fork decals, and bottom bracket. I also ordered a full pivot bearing kit, new lower link, chain guide and headset bearings. I'll be doing a basic suspension service just to be certain that's all good. I've never owned a big travel bike and exclusively ride XC. My plan for this bike is to take it to the local bike park a few times and bring it with me on some trips to Marquette and Copper Harbor MI. If I find I dont really care for that riding style, I'll sell it near the end of summer (likely for a net loss). So far I've just been enjoying tinkering and fixing things on the bike. When its all finished I'll be about $700 out of pocket for parts and service (I'll be taking it to the LBS for the pivot bearing replacement). https://preview.redd.it/tu4bz9vbnd3b1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bff60726416880b4c929c5f930560ef34f85787 |
2023.06.01 12:20 OnforuLED Do Security Lights Use a lot of Electricity?
 | submitted by OnforuLED to u/OnforuLED [link] [comments] The amount of electricity used by any lighting device depends on the power and time of use. For example, a 100-watt bulb used for five hours will consume 0.5-kilowatt hours, and most LED lamps use much less energy than older incandescent lamps. According to May 2022 U.S. residential electricity price data, at an average of 14.92 cents per kWh, using a 100w LED security light for 5 hours would cost $0.0746 in electricity. The main benefit of using LED outdoor floodlights is that they are more energy efficient than traditional halogen bulbs. LEDs use 90% less energy than halogen bulbs, resulting in significant savings on electricity costs. In addition to being more energy efficient, LED security lights also have a much longer life than traditional bulbs. Halogen bulbs typically last about 2,000 hours, while LEDs can last 30,000 to 50,000 hours. This means there is no need to worry about spending more time and energy on frequent replacement of lighting equipment. LED floodlights are also more durable than halogen bulbs. Onforu outdoor floodlights are shocked and drop tested to passing standards, which means they can withstand being dropped or hit by a ball without breaking, and they are not as susceptible to heat damage as halogen bulbs. Also, having an IP65+ rating for dust and water resistance makes them ideal for outdoor use, as they can withstand a variety of weather conditions. How to choose a suitable outdoor wall light for your homeIf there is a more energy-efficient option for outdoor lighting fixtures, it is to use motion sensor security light or dusk till dawn security light because they are turned on when needed. Normal security lights are switched on and off using a manual, and sometimes you feel guilty for forgetting to turn them off.
Motion sensor lights also tend not to need to be on for very long. For example, when you return home in the dark, the outside floodlight needs to be on. But once you're inside, you won't need them anymore. And don't worry about forgetting to turn off this light, because once you're in the house and no human motion is sensed, it will automatically turn off. The sensors use less energy than conventional wall sconces. You can use custom logic to determine the proper placement of the motion sensor light, and the time it is on.
If your home needs to be lit for long periods of time at night, consider using a dusk-to-dawn security light, the light will automatically turn on at night and stay off during the daytime (10-20 Lux: ON; 30-60 Lux: OFF). You also don't have to worry about wasting unwanted electricity by forgetting to turn off the lights when you go out during the day. Using LED outdoor lights can save a range of electricity, depending on the type, size and frequency of use. Before buying and installing outdoor lighting fixtures, be sure to consider the ongoing cost of running them. In addition, installing and using motion-activated floodlights can reduce energy consumption by an average of 40-50%, and in some cases by as much as 80%. The payback period depends on the total power of the lights connected to the sensor. The higher the power of the lights, the faster the sensor will get its payback. Using dusk till dawn security lights is a great way to reduce energy costs. They consume very little power and can be of help to you. Motion sensor lights and dusk-to-dawn lights can save money every month if you or your family forgets to turn off the lights. It's also a more economical solution that can increase environmental and economic awareness. By installing Onforu energy-saving lights, you will enjoy even more convenience. More Resources |

2023.06.01 12:09 PlatinumRyan6 Roomate Doesn’t clean food bowl.
I have a cat, one of my (5 roomates) has two cats. The three cats are the only pets in the home.
One of roomies cats has a jaw issue and can only eat wet canned cat food. Roomie is also OCD, and also is constantly gone throughout the entire day. They also have the ability to buy expensive cat foods due to familial funds. This all matters.
The cats roam the home we all leave doors open. I free feed my cat as I actively weigh him monthly to make sure he keeps a healthy weight. But I can’t afford the ‘best’ cat food.
Roomie will crack open a can or 2 of expensive ‘tasty’ cat food in the morning then LEAVE. Then after HOURS of it sitting their either uneaten or halfeaten my cat will slip in to their room to eat. I do not like that my cat eats their food. I feel bad that he does. But I cannot stop him all the time as I may not be around.
The problem is my cat has consistently had bought a of AWFUL diarrhea. And to test what may cause it we quarantine him in my room. Then suddenly he’s better for the 2 days he’s locked in the room. But when he comes out ‘and eats some of roomies food’ diarrhea. I could never see the food situation because we are not close and I wouldn’t go in without permission.
But one day they were gone longer than usual and asked me to feed their cats 2 cans. And what I saw ANGERED me. Cans of used cat food stacked upon one another, the bowls covered in residue from cans previous. Old canned food from days prior caking a lick mat. The odor was awful. Anger filled me as they shouldnt leave wet food out for any substantial amount of time. And the absolutely dirty bowls and made made me feel awful for their cats. And made me realize why thei (non jaw issue cat) would eat some of my food so often.
I made it a point to deep clean their mat and bowls. They thanked me when they saw and mentioned how they ‘like to clean them every two days’ bull. I know they don’t.
This has happened all to frequently. Truthfully this is the 6th time. Of rinsing and repeating after months. I just woke up to the awful smell of my cat diarrhea-Inc. in the room again. And I’m done. I’m tired of my cats health being at risk. I’m tired of being nice.
I can’t lock my cat away forever because someone else is a bad cat owner. I can’t tell my cat to stop eating that food because he’s a cat. I can’t force my Roomate to lock their door and keep their cats away. We can’t do fancy cat door stuff as that cost money and requires holes in doors.
I dont know what to do except call them out for being a bad owner and shame them. Which I really want to do because for a multitude of reasons they are awful. But I know this isn’t going to be fixed because they have an issue with touching dirty things because of their condition and therefore things get awfully dirty.
But it’s 3am and my room smells awful. And now once again I have to completely wash the box and toss all the litter. And lock the cat in here until he feels better. I’m mad.

California state prison
Life is truly unpredictable. We all once dreamed of becoming doctors or lawyers, shaping our futures with optimism. But here I am, confined within these prison walls—a reality I never fathomed. Yet, in this desolate place, it seems that no one truly cares. Two months have passed since I arrived, and each day is an arduous struggle for survival, a constant battle against the law of the jungle in its most modern form. Every passing day feels like a never-ending nightmare, gradually consuming my sanity. I can feel myself descending into madness, constantly on edge, my fight-or-flight instinct perpetually activated. There is no respite, not even in the darkness of night. The air is thick with the echoes of tormented screams that haunt our sleep, ensuring that even our dreams are tainted with despair. It’s bewildering how this place not only confines the body but also imprisons the mind. Amidst this bleak existence, I find solace in the intimidating visage I possess and the imposing physique I bear. It sets me apart from those who have succumbed to the depths of this grim abyss, their bodies now six feet under the ground. However, my physique alone could only provide limited protection. It is my own foolish mistakes that may ultimately lead to my demise, or rather, will lead to my death. I have already committed my first error by offending a notorious gang leader. I wish it were a grave offense like taking the life of one of his subordinates, but instead, it was something as trivial as sitting at the wrong table in the canteen. And now, he seeks to end my life. My cellmate warned me of the bounty placed on my head, a sick game concocted by that bastard to torment me. As the cell door buzzed open, its mechanical groan reverberated through the air, signaling the dreaded lunchtime. A chill slithered down my spine, mingling with the sickening anticipation of what awaited me beyond those iron bars. I knew all too well that this time, caution was not merely a choice but a matter of life and death. Every step I took outside, I was acutely aware of the lurking shadows, the hidden dangers ready to strike. The guard’s barked command sliced through the air like a serrated blade, slicing away any semblance of safety or comfort. His voice dripped with sadistic pleasure as he herded us, defenseless prisoners, towards the canteen, a place where pain and violence lurked like ravenous beasts. My heart hammered in my chest, a rapid percussion of fear, as I analyzed my surroundings with feral instinct. I scoured every corner for hidden threats, my eyes darting from one shadow to another, assessing blind spots like a hunted animal on the verge of its last stand. In that moment, an opportunity, as precarious as a spider’s silk, presented itself. The guard, his malevolence etched deep into his sneering face, loomed close to me. I weighed my options, knowing that the wrong move would condemn me to a merciless demise. The specter of death whispered in my ear, urging me to fight back, to strike first and defy the shackles of my oppressors. Without a flicker of hesitation, my hand shot out, the palm of my trembling hand connecting with the guard’s face in a resounding slap that echoed through the corridor. His expression twisted into a grotesque mask of rage, a harbinger of the storm that was about to be unleashed upon me. “You fucker! Come here!” his voice boomed, a thunderous growl that reverberated in the depths of my soul. He charged towards me, wielding his formidable bat with a sadistic gleam in his eyes, as if relishing the opportunity to unleash his cruelty upon my defenseless body. Driven by desperation, I fought back, fueled by the primal instinct to survive at any cost. Blow after blow, I struck with a ferocity borne from a place deep within me, each slap a desperate plea for freedom. But my resistance was futile, a fleeting flicker of defiance in the face of an unyielding storm. The guard’s retaliatory onslaught descended upon me like a torrential downpour of unrelenting agony. His weapon became an extension of his twisted will, delivering bone-shattering blows that fractured my body and shattered my spirit. The searing pain tore through every fiber of my being, eclipsing any physical torment I had endured before. It surpassed the brutality inflicted by my own father, a testament to the depths of human cruelty. Mocking laughter mingled with the sound of my screams, the guard’s sadistic delight intensifying with every strike. I writhed in excruciating pain, my body a mere vessel of suffering, on the precipice of vomiting up the wretched food that had been forced upon me. Each kick landed with merciless precision, a merciless reminder of my insignificance, reducing me to a broken, battered shell of a human being. Finally, my ravaged form was dragged away, cast into the suffocating darkness of solitary confinement. The door closed behind me, sealing my fate within these desolate walls. As the agonizing throbs of pain merged with the suffocating isolation, a twisted symphony of despair played on, etching its haunting melody into the deepest recesses of my mind. Finally, I had survived, but at what cost? A bitter reflection consumed me as I surveyed my new home. “Hey, kid,” a weathered voice suddenly pierced the suffocating silence. The timbre of his voice revealed a man well into his sixties or beyond. Straining to locate the source, I realized it originated from the cell adjacent to mine. Surprised and puzzled, I questioned how I could hear him. Shouldn’t I be in complete isolation? “Kid, I know you can hear me,” he confidently declared, as if he held a secret knowledge. Uncertainty gripped me, leaving me unsure of how to respond or what actions to take in this confined world. To hell with it, I thought. I was already in isolation, so why not engage in conversation? I needed someone to talk to, to maintain a sliver of sanity amidst the suffocating solitude. Even though I believed I wouldn’t lose my grip on reality, I knew that prolonged isolation could weaken even the strongest of minds. So, with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension, I mustered the courage to respond, “Yeah, I can hear you, old man. What do you want?” Yet, a nagging question lingered in the back of my mind. How was it even possible for the old man to communicate with me in this isolated prison? “Nothing. I don’t need anything. I just want to talk. Is that a problem?” the old man’s voice carried a hint of loneliness, longing for connection. “No, not at all,” I replied, my curiosity piqued by his request. “Well then, what’s your name, kid?” he inquired, his tone friendly. “I’m Anvis. And you?” I responded, eager to continue the conversation. “What a peculiar name. Well, I’ve heard stranger names in my lifetime. I’m Sam,” he revealed, his voice warm and inviting. “So, what landed you in this place?” he asked. “I was involved in the creation and sale of ghost weapons,” I confessed, a tinge of regret in my voice. “Ghost weapons… ah, yes, I’ve heard about them. You mean those 3D-printed guns? You must have had quite the knack for designing them,” Sam remarked, genuinely interested. “I suppose you could say that, though I never intended for things to turn out this way,” I explained, a mix of frustration and remorse seeping into my words. Sam’s voice filled with curiosity as he asked, “What do you mean?” “Let’s just say I was caught up in a difficult situation. Growing up as an orphan, I found myself entangled with the wrong crowd, doing whatever it took to survive. Unfortunately, that path led me to get involved in the production of ghost weapons. I had no choice, really. It was a matter of self-preservation,” I confessed, a hint of vulnerability in my voice. I don't know why, but confessing to Sam felt warm, like talking with a friend. Listening intently, Sam responded empathetically, “Sometimes life pushes us into corners we never anticipated. It’s not always easy to make the right choices when survival is at stake.” Encouraged by his understanding, I continued, “Exactly. I didn’t want any part in it, but circumstances forced my hand. I was coerced into designing those guns under the threat of exposure. However, fate had its own plans. When I went to deliver the weapons, the authorities swooped in, intercepting the guns before they could be used for harm. In a strange way, I felt a sense of relief that they didn’t end up causing any damage.” Sam nodded thoughtfully before sharing his own story, “Well, in my case, I had quite an extraordinary entrance into this prison. I fell through a portal and ended up here.” Oh great, I am talking to a lunatic.

The specter of death whispered in my ear, urging me to fight back, to strike first and defy the shackles of my oppressors. Without a flicker of hesitation, my hand shot out, the palm of my trembling hand connecting with the guard’s face in a resounding slap that echoed through the corridor. His expression twisted into a grotesque mask of rage, a harbinger of the storm that was about to be unleashed upon me. “You fucker! Come here!” his voice boomed, a thunderous growl that reverberated in the depths of my soul. He charged towards me, wielding his formidable bat with a sadistic gleam in his eyes, as if relishing the opportunity to unleash his cruelty upon my defenseless body. Driven by desperation, I fought back, fueled by the primal instinct to survive at any cost. Blow after blow, I struck with a ferocity borne from a place deep within me, each slap a desperate plea for freedom. But my resistance was futile, a fleeting flicker of defiance in the face of an unyielding storm. The guard’s retaliatory onslaught descended upon me like a torrential downpour of unrelenting agony. His weapon became an extension of his twisted will, delivering bone-shattering blows that fractured my body and shattered my spirit. The searing pain tore through every fiber of my being, eclipsing any physical torment I had endured before. It surpassed the brutality inflicted by my own father, a testament to the depths of human cruelty. Mocking laughter mingled with the sound of my screams, the guard’s sadistic delight intensifying with every strike. I writhed in excruciating pain, my body a mere vessel of suffering, on the precipice of vomiting up the wretched food that had been forced upon me. Each kick landed with merciless precision, a merciless reminder of my insignificance, reducing me to a broken, battered shell of a human being. Finally, my ravaged form was dragged away, cast into the suffocating darkness of solitary confinement. The door closed behind me, sealing my fate within these desolate walls. As the agonizing throbs of pain merged with the suffocating isolation, a twisted symphony of despair played on, etching its haunting melody into the deepest recesses of my mind. Finally, I had survived, but at what cost? A bitter reflection consumed me as I surveyed my new home. “Hey, kid,” a weathered voice suddenly pierced the suffocating silence. The timbre of his voice revealed a man well into his sixties or beyond. Straining to locate the source, I realized it originated from the cell adjacent to mine. Surprised and puzzled, I questioned how I could hear him. Shouldn’t I be in complete isolation? “Kid, I know you can hear me,” he confidently declared, as if he held a secret knowledge. Uncertainty gripped me, leaving me unsure of how to respond or what actions to take in this confined world. To hell with it, I thought. I was already in isolation, so why not engage in conversation? I needed someone to talk to, to maintain a sliver of sanity amidst the suffocating solitude. Even though I believed I wouldn’t lose my grip on reality, I knew that prolonged isolation could weaken even the strongest of minds. So, with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension, I mustered the courage to respond, “Yeah, I can hear you, old man. What do you want?” Yet, a nagging question lingered in the back of my mind. How was it even possible for the old man to communicate with me in this isolated prison? “Nothing. I don’t need anything. I just want to talk. Is that a problem?” the old man’s voice carried a hint of loneliness, longing for connection. “No, not at all,” I replied, my curiosity piqued by his request. “Well then, what’s your name, kid?” he inquired, his tone friendly. “I’m Anvis. And you?” I responded, eager to continue the conversation. “What a peculiar name. Well, I’ve heard stranger names in my lifetime. I’m Sam,” he revealed, his voice warm and inviting. “So, what landed you in this place?” he asked. “I was involved in the creation and sale of ghost weapons,” I confessed, a tinge of regret in my voice. “Ghost weapons… ah, yes, I’ve heard about them. You mean those 3D-printed guns? You must have had quite the knack for designing them,” Sam remarked, genuinely interested. “I suppose you could say that, though I never intended for things to turn out this way,” I explained, a mix of frustration and remorse seeping into my words. Sam’s voice filled with curiosity as he asked, “What do you mean?” “Let’s just say I was caught up in a difficult situation. Growing up as an orphan, I found myself entangled with the wrong crowd, doing whatever it took to survive. Unfortunately, that path led me to get involved in the production of ghost weapons. I had no choice, really. It was a matter of self-preservation,” I confessed, a hint of vulnerability in my voice. I don't know why, but confessing to Sam felt warm, like talking with a friend. Listening intently, Sam responded empathetically, “Sometimes life pushes us into corners we never anticipated. It’s not always easy to make the right choices when survival is at stake.” Encouraged by his understanding, I continued, “Exactly. I didn’t want any part in it, but circumstances forced my hand. I was coerced into designing those guns under the threat of exposure. However, fate had its own plans. When I went to deliver the weapons, the authorities swooped in, intercepting the guns before they could be used for harm. In a strange way, I felt a sense of relief that they didn’t end up causing any damage.” Sam nodded thoughtfully before sharing his own story, “Well, in my case, I had quite an extraordinary entrance into this prison. I fell through a portal and ended up here.” Oh great, I am talking to a lunatic.
2023.06.01 11:41 awngoid I had ChatGPT write me a complaint about the newest episode
Dear [Network],
I am writing to express my disappointment with the newest episode of Ghost Adventures that aired on [date]. As a longtime fan of the show, I eagerly anticipated the latest installment, but unfortunately, I found it to be deeply frustrating and unsatisfying.
Firstly, I was dismayed by the lack of evidence presented during the investigation. The team spent a significant amount of time wandering aimlessly through the supposedly haunted location, but failed to capture any compelling footage or audio recordings. As a viewer, I expect a certain level of excitement and tension from the show, but this episode felt tragically dull.
Furthermore, I was frustrated by the team's reliance on outdated ghost-hunting techniques. The use of EMF detectors and EVP recordings feels tired and overdone at this point, and I would have appreciated a more innovative approach to the investigation. It feels as though Ghost Adventures is stuck in a rut, relying on the same tired formula episode after episode.
Overall, I found the newest episode of Ghost Adventures to be a significant disappointment. I hope that future installments will offer a more exciting and engaging experience for viewers.
Sincerely, [Your Name]

2023.06.01 11:39 sunmethods O11D Evo XL PSU slot is fixed in the middle, no longer moveable: A downgrade from O11D XL
The O11D Evo XL on display at COMPUTEX has the drive bays and PSU slot in fixed positions, with the PSU slot being sandwiched between the two drive bays (which are accessible internally with the side panel removed). The honeycomb grills in the top and bottom slots are integrated with the back panel, relegating the PSU to the middle and preventing the installation of more than one PSU.
O11D Evo XL on display at COMPUTEX. Screenshot from UFD Tech on YouTube
This represents a departure, and I think a downgrade, from both the predecessor O11D XL and the early prototype of the O11D Evo XL shown in the Lian Li 2022 Digital Expo 2.0, where the power supply and drive bays were all swappable:
Early prototype O11D Evo XL. Screenshot from Lian Li on YouTube
The case is invertible like the original Evo, so I guess they put the PSU slot in the middle to maintain symmetry/consistency between the two orientations once they decided to fix the slots in place. Unfortunately for those of us who no longer have much use for spinning drives, this leaves less contiguous space on either side of the PSU should the drive bays be removed - I personally had a grand plan of putting a PSU in the top slot and using the space below it for a reservoir. With this change, it seems I would need a pretty tiny reservoir to fit it in the back chamber.
I realize this may not be the most reasonable hope considering that the release is just a few months away, but I hope nonetheless that Lian Li will reconsider this change or at least offer the feature as an option. For what it's worth, I would pay good money for a replacement back panel with a top PSU slot.
What do y'all think? Was this a reasonable cost-cutting measure, or should quality of life features like this remain standard on such premium cases?

2023.06.01 11:37 dublin20 I am interested in understanding why Windows won't let me reset a notebook
I hope that I do not fall too much into a rant here in this post, but I am slowly falling away from faith.
I have currently reinstalled a relatively new laptop. Since the hard drive was partitioned and I wanted to make it one again before selling it, I had to reinstall Windows of course because between the system partition and the second partition is always the recovery partition.
Anyway, reinstallation went quickly, since the laptop has an Optane disk, I needed of course the required driver, also had to pull me the WiFi driver on the stick so that I can install after installation also this to pull updates. Everything went through so far well.
Well, now I want to fully reset the laptop for sale. After all, the existing updates and drivers remain installed on the system, so the new user doesn't have to be particularly tech-savvy to install drivers and such after a complete reinstall.
I'll be honest, I've done this several times in the last 6 months. My old laptop and that of a friend. Exactly the same procedure. So I start the PC reset, first a "local reinstall". After restarting Windows starts in the "Startup Options" from here but I can not really do anything, actually I expected that now the reinstallation process, as known, starts automatically? After I choose "Turn off PC" and start it again: "Problem resetting PC" and "No changes made".
Well, maybe the recovery image is defective, so once checked via the "cloud reinstallation", and after 50% download, the preparation starts and then immediately fails and says only "problem resetting the PC". No error message, what the problem is or whatever.
I wonder now honestly and really how it can be that you can not reset a PC?
I have tried all the solutions that I know and are known from the Internet: dism, sfc scan. Everything reports back that everything is working fine. All updates are installed. Everything as always.
So I have only a few options left now:
With any reinstallation, installation or updates, I've always had bad experiences on the Windows side:
So please Reddit, please techsupport, what the hell is going on and how can I reset this damn PC?
Many thanks and apologies for the possibly harsh tone,

I have tried all the solutions that I know and are known from the Internet: dism, sfc scan. Everything reports back that everything is working fine. All updates are installed. Everything as always.
So I have only a few options left now:
- I reinstall Windows via a USB stick, assume that every buyer has a clue how to install drivers after a fresh install (to have WiFi, because of course that is not installed with a full fresh install, MediaTek oof) and just turn off the laptop after the reboot at the "Cortana" startup and the selection in which country you live.
- I just erase the hard drive and hope that the buyer anyway intended to reinstall Windows
- I leave it all as it is and the buyer has just the problem (which is actually definitely not my style)
- That a 800EUR laptop is simply electronic waste.
With any reinstallation, installation or updates, I've always had bad experiences on the Windows side:
- Driver installation -> Hey the manufacturer software and the software for the control of the monitor is more relevant than the display driver.
- Oh wait the display driver installation failed X times now because we have to install other stuff? Then go f* yourself and install that now yourself
So please Reddit, please techsupport, what the hell is going on and how can I reset this damn PC?
Many thanks and apologies for the possibly harsh tone,

2023.06.01 11:36 Senior_Department_84 Power Points By AGM Electrical Supplies
 | Double Power point Outlets - When installing single GPO outlets, they should only be installed when necessary, such as door frames or when space constraints restrict installation options. While double GPO outlets can be more costly, their convenience over single ones makes them a common sight in Australian households. submitted by Senior_Department_84 to u/Senior_Department_84 [link] [comments] Double Power point Outlets Additional Switch Power points - Additional switch power points can help reduce clutter and streamline appliance management more efficiently while eliminating extra powerboards, with common applications including oven use in kitchens or wall-mounted switches with lights/fans integrated. Not only are these solutions cost-effective, they're also space-saving. Weatherproof Power point - Australians who require access to electricity while outdoors require weatherproof power points and electrical switches that are reliable, dust and water proof and corrosion-resistant - perfect for our extreme hot and cold climate. They should also be built strong enough to withstand corrosion as well Clipsal Power Points as colour fading - providing the perfect solution. Weatherproof Power point Benchtop Power points - Benchtop Pop Up Power Points offer all of the same functionality of traditional double power points with one major difference: They're designed to quickly snap in and out of place on benchtops for added safety and tidiness, making kitchen life simpler with electric lifts that automatically activate upon press down on their top for use on bench tops. A great solution for kitchens! These products make great additions when placed alongside one another to form a power strip solution. USB Power point - Since their introduction just over a decade ago, USB power points have quickly gained prominence as a convenient means of directly charging devices such as smartphones, cameras and tablets without third-party adaptors. While typically found in double power points in homes today, portable power boards now include them for added convenience. 15A Power point - Though less common, 15A power points can often be found in garages, motorhomes or other large machinery applications. Their main difference from 10A sockets is that 15A allows 10A appliances to be plugged in while only 10A will accept 15A appliances. |

2023.06.01 11:26 Xtrems876 How to explain to my family that work from home is still work
Hi so I have a problem with my family that has been increasingly intense during the past few months.
A while ago I got employed at a reputable IT company to work for them fully from home. It's a normal 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week kinda job in front of a computer, the only difference being that I work in my room instead of in a cubicle. The salary I get is the highest of all the people in the house, I frequently provide financial help to my family members despite the fact that I also am saving up money to start uni (recently got admitted to one of the top european business schools, the costs to move are incredibly high compared to wages in my country (despite being pretty well of here I'm earning like 1/5th of the poverty line there)
My family doesn't get that. They constantly complain that I sit all day in front of a computer instead of at least keeping the house in order. Just now, during a call with the rest of my team, my mom barged into my room yelling that I should answer her calls, that her printer doesn't work and that I have to come and help her immediately. She was furious when I said that I can't leave that work call. My father constantly knocks at my door so that I help him with his car. After a hugely tiring day, when everyone comes home from work, they ask me to do eeeeverything around the house and say that "they were at work and are tired while I was home all day".
How do I explain to them that I'm not on a year long vacation with monthly stream of money from some anonymous sugar daddy
