I have been playing bass for 2 years and would like to try something new.
Should I stay in the bass camp and buy a 5/6 string bass or should I try playing guitar(I in this case obviously I would still continue to play the bass).
I know this decision is based more on my feelings but I would like to know your opinions.
Sometimes, I need to vent. Like today.
Flashback to yesterday night, 8:30 pm. A Tesla pulls onto our lot. Confused, I double check our apps: bingo, a last-minute booking from 3rd party site X, made ten minutes ago. This was only possible because I made same-day bookings available during the week in the vague hope of attracting a few more guests in the pre-easter lull. A double and a single. Booked without breakfast for a pretty cheap low-season rate. One night only.
Now, we market ourselves as a boutique, environmentally conscious B&B with vegetarian, organic, and - as far as possible - seasonal farm-to-table breakfast. Our prices are mid-range for three-star guesthouses. Guests know all this and often come here precisely for that reason. Many also come to hike and enjoy nature; the forest literally starts in our backyard.
I head outside, welcome them inside and start the check-in. They're a couple in their mid-twenties - plus her mother. Before even copying down all their details, Mr. Tesla interjects: "when's breakfast"? I tell him - nicely - that they haven't booked breakfast, but that they're welcome to add it for 12 bucks per person. We'd then serve it at the table whenever they’d like to reserve between 8 and 11.
Note: breakfasts at comparable places usually are priced anywhere between 9 - 15 bucks a night. Granted: inflation is real - it used to be 30ish % less across the board.
"That's impossible. I always book with breakfast included." He proceeds to mansplain to me that my rates would be ridiculously expensive with breakfast slapped on - no way this place would be worth that. Right, nice of you to offend my house that I live, breathe and work 12ish hours a day for without even having seen your room, which, by the way, was equipped with new mattresses and furniture last autumn. Clearly, this is one of those guests. We don’t get them often, but if we do, I put my professional hat on and deal with it.
I explain that unfortunately, we can’t lower the price for our breakfast, but that they have options and would be welcome to order fresh bread and spreads from us at cost - I'd even give them access to a fridge, cutlery and plates. They could also have breakfast at the bakery down the street. Long story short, he ends up ordering breakfast, but clearly isn't happy.
Showing them the rooms, I apologize for them being on the cold side. I didn't have time to turn on the heaters between their booking and their arrival but do so now. The rooms should take about 20 minutes to heat up. I invite them to have (free) tea at the fire in the common room while waiting, but they decline since they're tired and would like to shower. Fair enough.
Next morning. They had ordered breakfast for 10, but show up at 9, along with some other guests that had reservations for, you guessed it, 9. I have my partner serve the others and deal with family Tesla myself.
"Good morning, did you have a good rest?" (Apparently, they did, but mention the rooster that started crowing early.) "I'll be right out with breakfast. Just so you know, it might take twenty minutes or so, but I’ll bring drinks out before and you’re welcome to have some Muesli and fruits from the Cereal bar whenever you like. How would you like your eggs and your coffee?"
Eggs boiled. Coffee three ways. „And please make it quick, we have a booking for a cave tour in an hour.“
Fine, I'm rushing.
Still, they have to wait around 15 minutes for me to have their full breakfast ready and served - fresh bread rolls, fruit, yogurt, eggs, barista coffee, juice, and an assortment of cheeses, homemade spreads, honey, jams, and Caprese salad. In the meantime, Ms. Tesla manages to knock a full bowl of cornflakes and milk onto the floor. That's okay, accidents happen and my partner gets right to cleaning it up.
When serving, I explain to them that we are more than happy to top anything up if they'd like some more, but that we purposefully don't serve huge portions to minimize food waste. They nod along, Mom even says something along the lines of "that's great!“
Five minutes after serving, they flag me down and demand extra butter, two types of cheese, jam and Caprese. Sure, I am happy to entertain guests with healthy appetites.
After they finish up, I start cleaning their table. You guessed it: they left behind pretty much all of the topped up (and some of the original) food. Fine, we’ll eat it, or the chickens.
At check-out, they pay the tourism tax plus breakfast in cash. No tip. I figured as much. Mr. Tesla says that we need a charging station for electric cars. Yup, we have that scheduled for this summer, sorry it isn’t here yet. He also says that breakfast should be faster or maybe a buffet, so guests can get started with their days. Other than that, they had a good time. I apologize for the delay in breakfast (which was caused by them showing up an hour early, but well, it's never the guest's fault, is it?) and wave them off.
Now for the bit that makes me want to scream:
On 3rd party website X, before this morning, we had an average guest rating of 9.2 out of 10 points. We are proud of every single rating being real. Since we’ve only been on the platform for a bit over a year, we are very dependent on positive reviews - and love reading (almost) all of them! At check-out and in our post-departure email we ask people to give us honest reviews - but to also please talk to us in case anything wasn’t in order so we can make it right.
Me. Tesla left us a review right after leaving. 5 out of 10. My jaw literally dropped. This is easily our worst rating so far. His review talks about (roughly translating here) the breakfast being "far too expensive with tiny amounts of cheese and spreads" which „wouldn’t even be enough for one person, let alone three“. He gives the staff (us) a 10 out of 10, but mentions that the balconies were "dirty and uninviting“ due to "piles of leaves“ (I just checked - there were just a few - certainly no piles). Additionally, the rooms were "far too cold and took ages to heat up“. Also, apparently, the rooster woke them up around 7.
Keep in mind: we’re located right next to the forest, it was a windy night - and already dark when they came in. And yes, we do mention having chickens and a rooster in our "thanks for booking" email, which he probably didn't read.
Ugh. It’s just so frustrating. None of these things would be terrible in and by themselves, but it is SO disheartening if you pour your heart and soul into a place only for people to trample all over it.
He single-handedly caused us to drop from an average rating of 9.2 (awesome) to 8.9 (still great), which however immediately causes us a significant drop in visibility on the 3rd party website. From the past, we know that a rating of „below 9,0“ WILL cost us money in the form of fewer bookings coming in unless we invest in further advertising. In the end, I would have been much better off giving him his stupid breakfast for free. However, I refuse to accommodate the complainers rather than the lovely people - and thus, will just have to chalk this up as „one bad experience amongst so many more good ones“.
Rant over. I’ll go back to (cheerfully) welcoming our check-ins soon. No doubt they’ll be lovely - statistics are on my side, after all.
In october, I bought "new" ASRock Challenger ITX Radeon RX6600 GPU (it isn't fully new, I bought it from another guy that he used it for 8 months, but it still had 16 month warranty). At first, I had coil whine problems, but I solved it just by turning VSync on. But temps are a little bit frustrating to me. They are like 38°C at idle, which is okay, but when I play games like RDR2, it hits 88°C (hotspot 99°C). Maybe it's not such a wonder as my GPU has only 1 fan. But it is clean, it isn't dusty and hits such big temperature. When I see other peoples benchmarks having 60°C at full load with other GPUs, it makes my GPU look like oven (plus, I have 2 140mm fans in case already). And getting another model new would cost me additional 70+€, so it isn't worth it, getting stronger card would cost additional 120+€, and I don't have that money nor I need such strong GPU. Should I be worried? I plan to use this GPU for like 5-10 years.

I have no personal frame of reference for this opinion, but I imagine being a drug runner for the Mexican cartel (or any cartel) is loads more fun in a video game setting than in real life. The latter pays more I'm sure, but the stress, risk to life and limb, and persistent threat of jail time have me convinced to stick with legal employment. Not so for some GTA Online gamers who thought it a good idea to become meth mules.
It sounds wild (because it is), but apparently drug cartels sometimes use online multiplayer video games as a source for new blood. Back in October of last year, for example, Mexico's assistant public safety secretary, Ricardo Mejía, said a cartel recruiter purchased bus tickets for three teenagers between 11 and 14 years old.
The recruiter found the teens on Garena Free Fire, a popular online game, and offered them each $200 per week to serve as lookouts for the cartel. Authorities detained the teens before they boarded the bus, but Mejía told ABC News that other cartels have also recruited drug mules and lookouts through video games, including Call of Duty, Gears of War, and Grand Theft Auto V.
Now three months later, Forbes says it discovered that US officials have evidence showing GTA Online is also used as a recruitment tool for drug cartels.
It's not clear how long this has allegedly been going on, but according to the site, border agents stopped and inspected a Jeep Cherokee in Arizona last November and found almost 60 kilograms of methamphetamine. The driver, Alyssa Navarro, said a man named George first contacted her in GTA Online, through which they got to know each other over time.
Those in-game chats later pivoted over to Snapchat, where George raised the idea of being a runner, albeit for electronics to be sold in Mexico. Navarro claims she was offered up to $2,000 per trip, depending on the size of the load.
The only problem for Navarro is that the cartel allegedly hid meth in the Jeep's fuel tank. Authorities have charged Navarro with conspiracy to import and sell meth, and also possession, charges for which she has pleaded not guilty.
It remains to be seen how that case will turn out. Suffice to say, though, if someone online propositions you for an offer that seems too good to be true—or is outright illegal—it's best to politely decline.
I'm wondering if I screwed up here and if so, if there's still a way to fix it.
Under my loan details I show the following:
DL Stafford Subsidized, 4079.56, Repayment Start Date: 11/12/12
DL Stafford Unsubsidized, 8612.10, Repayment Start Date:11/12/12
DL Stafford Subsidized, 7526.85, Repayment Start Date:11/12/12
DL Stafford Unsubsidized, 15,783.83, Repayment Start Date:11/12/12
DL Stafford Unsubsidized, 9120.43, Repayment Start Date: 2/10/14
DL Stafford Unsubsidized, 8680.13, Repayment Start Date: 6/13/15
DL Stafford Unsubsidized, 10,508.92, Repayment Start Date: 6/13/15
Should I have consolidated all of these into one (or if it has to be consolidated into one subsidized and one unsubsidized) before the Oct deadline and along with my PSLF waiver? Looking at it now, I'm not going to qualify for 120 payments on the loans that the repayment started in 2014 and 2015, but I'm wondering if I would have if they were all consolidated would the new consolidated loan have a payment tracker that matched the earliest payment from the loans that started repayment back in 2012? I know they have these one time adjustment options until May 2023 so I didnt know if that was the case with the consolidation and payment tracking if there was still a way to correct this or if I just screwed up and will have to make payments for another 1-2 years on those bottom three loans? The ones with a repayment start date of 11/12/12 I should have 120+ payments for. Thanks.
E-learning has been around for a while now, but with the emergence of blockchain technology, we are seeing new and exciting use-cases for education. One such use-case is the Learn 2 Earn model, which allows students to earn cryptocurrency for completing educational courses.
Some projects that are currently using the Learn 2 Earn model include the likes of Coinbase Earn, Binance Academy, and Gitcoin Grants. These platforms provide a way for students to earn cryptocurrency while learning about various blockchain and cryptocurrency topics.
Another innovative concept is the idea of certifications as NFTs, which can be attached to a student's digital wallet as proof of their achievements. This has the potential to revolutionize the concept of credentials and degrees, as they can now be verified on the blockchain and cannot be duplicated or tampered with.
One project that is utilizing the Flare Network for their e-learning marketplace is Uppercent EdTech Vision. By leveraging Flare's smart contract capabilities and native token, FLR, Uppercent is creating a platform where students can resell a course once they’ve finished it. If you’ve ever completed an online certification, you normally have to purchase a license for a year (usually finish after a month) and then these materials are just sitting there being unused. What a great innovation especially as these certifications and access can be very costly.
Overall, e-learning and blockchain technology are a perfect match, and we can expect to see more innovative projects and use-cases emerge in the future. From Learn 2 Earn models to NFT certifications and beyond, the potential for education and blockchain is limitless.
