2023.06.10 20:10 Vegetable_Let_3469 Can You Be Born Terrible?
I was thinking about it today and I believe of all the people in the world with 200+ hours of chess under their belt I could be one of if not the worst on the planet. I rarely get ahead in material, if I do I am quick to give it back, typically in the form of my queen. I play the same openings every game and try to make it a goal to just defend all my pieces and take what’s given to me, you’d think that would be easy at 350 elo but I either play really solid 300-400’s(if that even exists) or I just have absolutely no vision for the board and what’s going on in front of me.
I haven’t taken things super seriously in my time but I do lots of puzzles, watch a lot of chess and at least put some effort in to improve but I keep getting worse and worse. Is it possible I could just have a mind suited horribly for chess? Can someone just be terrible at the game regardless of what they do? I only care to play casually but when I meet other people who like chess I’d like to be able to play a decent game with them, maybe even give them a run for their money. My only chance is against someone who’s never played test and I recently lost to someone with 10 games under their belt. Thinking I should just forget about it, the idea of being decent sounds fun but getting steam rolled for years to get there does not.

2023.06.10 20:09 Excellent_Iron9483 Ten things each USMLE student should do
| Ten things each USMLE student should do (“You might feel like you know it all until you start getting into details! ”) I completely understand how daunting it feels to prepare for the USMLEs — a mountain of information to learn, questions with confusing choices that make it difficult to pick the “best” answer, and on top of all that, a strict time limit! I’m an Internal Medicine physician, an Assistant Professor at Brown University, USMLE STEP 2 CK tutor for Michigan State University, and an author of a USMLE STEP 2 CK textbook encompassing all topics for the boards ( Thieme: A WIN series for USMLE available online and in bookstores). In addition to a decade of teaching experience, I scored in the 99th percentile on all the 3 USMLE STEP exams and am currently creating an online USMLE question bank. I hope the following 10 pieces of advice will simplify your “road to residency”: - Use the “IRIS” steps to master USMLE topics. Input- Reflect- Integrate- Share
- Do as many practice questions as you possibly can ~The more you practice questions, the better your scores will get
- Tackle multiple-choice questions strategically.
- Focus on figuring out the right diagnosis.
- Use memory techniques to help you remember important details.
- Pomodoro!
- Use exams, particularly shelf exams, to guide your learning journey.
- Get a USMLE-coach
- Take care of your USMLE vessel (YOU!)
- “The shortest path”
1. Use the “IRIS” steps: Input, R eflect, I ntegrate, and S hare — in order to master the USMLE topics. https://preview.redd.it/kcxcgtm0p75b1.png?width=1036&format=png&auto=webp&s=aeab3498231448f534cde68106c93db5d7006ee9 Reading a book (for example, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) but not reflecting on it and not integrating it into practice will result in the “illusion of learning.” Similarly, it is extremely crucial to practice IRIS to perfect your craft of USMLE preparedness. Books serve as a great base camp for your knowledge ascents. Choose any USMLE book- a comprehensive book you can reflect upon — for annotation, highlights, and other important notes/personalized mnemonics. - For Step 1, there seems to be a consensus of a clear-cut winner being First Aid for Step 1.
- For Step 2, go to your university library (online/virtual), scan a few of the most popular books, and find one that fits your style. Then stick to the “chosen one” for your learning journey.
Shameless ad: the textbook I authored (Thieme: A WIN book) is also a concise yet thorough book you may choose to utilize for Step 2 CK or Step 3. Check it out! 2. Do as many practice questions as you possibly can. The more you practice questions, the better your scores will get. - Finish all Uworld questions (tutored mode, chapter by chapter; learning one topic at a time improves clarity and efficiency).
- Then finish the 2 Uworld sim forms, the free 120 NBME questions, and NBME practice exams (in the timed mode — to simulate real exam and to practice time management).
- Also, try to finish as many Amboss questions as you can. If you finish Amboss too and have extra time and want to be a superstar student, you could even finish Kaplan Qbank along the way!
A suggested timeline for a 2-month USMLE Step 2 study schedule: - Complete the entire Step 2 CK UWorld in the first month (averaging around 80–100 questions per day). Focus on the learning objectives of each question and move on — you don’t need to memorize the entire explanation (example demonstrated below).
- Then, for the next month, do an NBME self-assessment every week to assess your progress. Also, this month, focus on your NBME deficiencies (target your weaknesses, do not run away from them), and attempt to finish the Amboss Qbank.
Links: to NBME, UWORLD, and Amboss 3. Tackle multiple-choice questions strategically. Step 1: Start by reading the last sentence of the question — this will save some time and will help guide your attention to the specific thing that the question is asking. How does this save time? With some questions, you don’t necessarily need to read the entire question to pick the correct answer. For instance: Which of the following medications will help with ureteral stone expulsion? The answer, in this case, is tamsulosin. You don’t have to read the entire question stem to answer this question! Time can be saved for other harder questions you will encounter later in that block. And, if you are doing practice questions from a Qbank, you don’t NEED to read the whole explanation. The goal of this question is to understand that alpha-1 blockers help with ureteral smooth muscle relaxation making it easier for the stone to pass. That’s all; just move on to the next question. Another tip to save even more time: For really long question stems and lots of lab values, you could jump to the last two lines and scan the labs to note any specific abnormal lab values that might’ve been presented to help answer the question even faster. For example, a long clinical vignette that ultimately says “antiGBM antibody positive”: This line alone gives you the diagnosis of Goodpasture’s syndrome, so you can proceed to answer the question. Step 2: If the last line (or scanning the labs) isn’t enough, you must read the whole question. The most efficient way to answer the majority of questions is to follow these steps: - Read the question stem and highlight the pertinent findings.
- Make the diagnosis.
- Choose the answer based on your diagnosis.
Some students tend to fall into the trap of reading the question stem and then trying to reason through each of the answers before committing to a diagnosis, which is inefficient, as it leads to many back-and-forths. To reach the diagnosis, focus on your highlighted portions of the question stem. Those are the puzzle pieces that you need to connect to figure out the diagnosis. For instance: - Hoarse voice + weight gain + 1+reflexes in all extremities + proximal muscle weakness = Hypothyroidism
- Hirsutism + easy bruising + proximal muscle weakness = Cushing syndrome
(As a last step, ask yourself whether all the puzzle pieces fit into the diagnosis you have in mind. To double-check, consider whether your diagnosis fits the patient’s age, chief complaint, and course or severity of the disease. If not, you probably don’t have the right diagnosis and need to re-think i t). 4. Focus on figuring out the right diagnosis. But how you may ask. Let me break this down even further for you. To answer USMLE questions correctly, you need to master the art of making the right diagnosis — an art that can be learned by clustering different conditions with similar features and then recognizing the features that set them apart. https://preview.redd.it/fild67zdq75b1.png?width=936&format=png&auto=webp&s=a16058a9c5ded78f1fd3701a825c993df155da69 Example: HOW TO APPROACH IMMUNODEFICIENCY QUESTIONS? https://preview.redd.it/2zddp8a5e85b1.png?width=1584&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9a01601bd5fbe9cefc5a5fc88b3dcea74e6f1bc Further practice: Click on the following links to practice a few questions dedicated to learning of clustering and differentiating method: Remember, no matter how prepared you are, you will always feel uncertain about some questions, and that’s okay. Just use your best judgment, flag it, and move on. Chances are that you might have a fresh perspective on the question when you come back to it later. 5. Use memory techniques to help you remember important details Memorizing various pieces of medical information (for example, differentiating features of diseases, management steps, cut-off values, etc.) is key for acing an exam. Use memory-retaining techniques and tools, such as associations, mnemonics, the popular flashcard app ANKI, etc. Example: New onset ascites generally require diagnostic paracentesis. The two most important things you look for in ascitic fluid are SAAG and neutrophil count. - SAAG (serum ascites albumin gradient) = serum albumin concentration — (minus) albumin concentration in ascitic fluid
- What is the cut-off of SAAG? 1.1.
- How to remember? SAAG: “AA”= “1” and “1” because “A” is the 1st alphabet. So, the important SAAG value is 1.1. Elevated SAAG (>1.1) is elevated portal pressure.
https://preview.redd.it/emo0d5zjq75b1.png?width=1382&format=png&auto=webp&s=b87580625183237422dc705f08b5c3e0868bc203 Don’t build buildings without foundations. Don’t use rote memorization. Use (or even better, create your own) memory associations/mnemonics whenever possible. * Ascitic neutrophil count of ≥ 250/mm3 is diagnostic of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Example 2: How to tackle questions of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia? https://preview.redd.it/9q58a3plq75b1.png?width=1628&format=png&auto=webp&s=62de1716c6d57cd8baeaf64ecc020f58640a6108 Here is a link to a practice question on Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (to integrate what you learned). Here is a link to information on one of the students’ favorite tools: Anki cards. This is particularly helpful for step 1. I also advise students to make their own Anki flashcards (based on UW incorrect, cross-referencing your chosen book as you make the cards). This reflective and integrative act of making cards is one of the best ways to retain information. 6. Pomodoro (RAM refreshment) technique The most important strategy for productivity is the Pomodoro (RAM refreshment) technique; Do 25 minutes of USMLE-focused study prep time (with no distractions like your cell phone or TV), followed by 5 mins break. Then, refresh and repeat. (Some students prefer 50 mins study time and 10 mins breaks.) Pomodoro breaks your work(study) time into portions and gives some rest time for the brain to come back much more refreshed. This provides the much-needed reset to your productivity decline after 25 to 50 mins of study (improving overall efficiency and preventing burnout). I have seen some students working on their computers during this 5 min break. This isn’t RAM refreshment. (Get up from that chair, go out of that room, and de-strain your eyes and your body posture!) Here is a link to a great Chrome extension for this. It also measures your total study time. 7. Use exams, particularly shelf exams, to guide your learning journey. If you start following these 10 pieces of advice from the beginning of shelf exams, by the time you take your USMLE Step 2, you will have mastered all its topics (and you may need a quick refresher, that’s it!). Example: During your 3rd year, use the IRIS steps: do UWorld questions subject by subject and take NBME clinical mastery for Shelf Exams. Processing one subspeciality (chapter) at a time also improves clarity and efficiency — a lean-learning principle as opposed to batch processing. Isn’t shelf preparation automatic portioning? Note: A 1–2-month time frame for USMLE preparation doesn’t typically give you enough time to follow ALL the IRIS steps. Also, during this time, a common example of batch processing occurs where students generate a practice-question block choosing all the system topics in UWorld instead of honing in and tackling one topic at a time. 8. Get a USMLE coach All athletes have coaches; why don’t we? You can get online USMLE tutoring/mentoring or seek a well-qualified USMLE tutor through your university. There is no shame in asking an expert for help to improve any areas of weakness. When I go on my snowboarding trips, I always seek a few snowboarding lessons to accelerate my learning process. Another shameless ad — I tutor on the Wyzant online platform. Here is a link to a $40 OFF for your first class. I also do free weekly 1-hr Zoom sessions (Wednesday at 6 pm EST) on “how to get better at tackling USMLE questions” that anybody can participate in— here is the link. Has there ever been any Olympic athlete who won a gold medal without the help of a coach? 9. Take care of your USMLE vessel (YOU!) Take proper care of your physical and mental health -Since I love mnemonics, here’s another one! SEE well to do USMLE well: Sleep, Eat, and Exercise: - Sleep: at least 7–8 hours every day to recharge your body at night (Don’t partially charge your phone overnight only to run out of battery by noon)
- Eat healthy foods
- Exercise regularly
10. Always take the shortest path There might be an infinite number of ways to go from point A to point B, but there is only one shortest path. Finding the shortest path frees up some time to do other activities in our limited number of hours in a given day. So try to maximize efficiency. Perhaps, the shortest path to achieving high scores on USMLE is to start following these 10 pieces of advice NOW !! I hope this short thread on “how to learn!!” will help you on your road to residency! Appendix: Exam question schema: — In some USMLE questions, the question creators add a detail that tries to derail you through a red herring. Examples: “A family history of a neurological disorder in a case that sounds like chronic tuberculous meningitis,” “a recent camping trip history in a case that appears to be Neisseria meningitis,” “ a malignant head tumor that was noticed after head trauma” etc. So in most USMLE questions, — you need the following schematic understanding: https://preview.redd.it/dw1kitozq75b1.png?width=936&format=png&auto=webp&s=b71305adbac7e9204789f2665d711e9bbdcba349 “Thank you for taking the time to read our article.

2023.06.10 20:08 valilihapiirakka Has anyone here heard of someone tablet weaving (or otherwise hand weaving) their own bar tape?
Not sure if this is the right community for this question, but I figure in
weaving the question will be "what does bar tape need to be like", and it's probably easier to see
what tablet woven work looks like than to understand all the qualities bar tape has to have. If not, maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I like tablet weaving, I like bikes, I can get behind the idea of tweaking my hobby towards a niche actually willing to pay a premium for interesting bits of ribbon. It feels like it must be possible to use double-sided tape to turn a tablet woven band into something that wraps, but I've never heard of someone actually making their own bar tape. Is there a reason for this, something about how it's manufactured that's just very hard to replicate at home, or is it just that nobody happens to be doing it?
If you've done this yourself, I'd be interested to hear what materials you used, as it feels like a hard call to make - I tend to weave with real wool, cotton, linen etc (the examples linked above are probably wool). If need be, I will resort to trial and error, but it's a real faff.

2023.06.10 20:05 rh681 Upgraded motherboard in Plex server. Does it know the new capabilities?
OK dumb computer question. It's not Plex specific, but you guys would know.
I have an existing Windows 10 box that runs Plex Server and I upgraded the motherboard, CPU (RAM, etc) while keeping the same Windows 10 install. One or two reboots plus a few new drivers later and I'm in business.
When I jump a couple Intel CPU generations that has newer Quick Sync features or other such things, does Windows and Plex automatically recognize those capabilities? Or is there something I need to do with the registry?
I feel like the answer is "duh of course", but just making sure.
Edit: Is there a free application that will exercise any given feature of an Intel CPU/GPU to verify?

2023.06.10 20:05 Spiritual_Skin3274 Baby ate moldy cheese!
| Help!!! We opened a new package of Marin petite breakfast Brie and saw the the outside was covered in white, raised fuzzy mold circles. I told my husband that because this was a soft cheese, we should throw it out, but he insisted that you can cut off the mold and still eat it if it tastes ok. Plus the expiration date isn’t for another month. After trying it, he fed some of the cheese (with no mold) to our 21 month old baby. I tasted some and it tasted fine. But the fact that it had mold growing all over it has me really freaked out that the baby ate any of it. Does anyone know what kind of mold this is? Is it toxic? Should I bring our daughter to the ER? She’s a toddler and I know they are more sensitive to mold. submitted by Spiritual_Skin3274 to foodsafety [link] [comments] |
2023.06.10 20:05 toxicdeliquency A few out there fandoms
Hi all! I’m on the hunt for some new partners (not replacing anyone of course) that are interested in angsty, romantic and, of course, dramatic plots. In said plots I’d prefer to play the F in M/F pairings, it’s just what I’m most comfortable with : ). Aside from that though, I am 24 which means all of my partners NEED to be 18+, there is no wiggle room on this. Please don't lie and say you're of age if you're not, it's dangerous. Also, another lil request if possible: I just moved to the central time zone and would love some partners over here or who are at least awake during these hours, not a requirement tho!
We can discuss rules, limits and triggers privately if we decide to move forward, however there is one rule I’ll let you know of now since it puts some people off. I don’t double. I will gladly play multiple side characters, however I will not do one pairing in exchange for another (you playing my love interest and us doing a separate plot where I play yours). I find it hard to focus and they never end up fair in my experience. I hope that makes sense lol. Also, when it comes to ooc chatter I don’t mind fangirling or general chit chat, but what does bother me is holding conversations for days on end with no replies or no mention of replies. I find making friends through roleplay a bit awkward so if it happens organically I’m here for it, but I don’t want it to be forced. I hope that doesn’t make me sound harsh.
Right now I’m specifically on the hunt for three fandoms/pairings: Criminal Minds, Stranger Things & Teen Wolf.
In CM I’d be looking for someone to play Spencer Reid opposite of my character, Olivia Chandler. Olivia is a Gale Weathers type if you know Scream at all, but FAR less of a bitch. I think there’s a lot of longevity for this pair as Olivia is afraid of commitment whereas I see Spencer just hesitant when it comes to romance at all, especially if we set this after Maeve. There’s a lot to her backstory that I think could make for an interesting twist a little further along, but we could do different cases and such and it would be fun! As all of my characters do, Olivia has her own backstory written up and available upon request.
While I haven’t watched S4 of ST yet (atp I’m just waiting for S5 to rewatch all of it lol), I know most of what happens, but this plot would take place more of s2-s3 and maybe in an AU space s4. I’d be playing an original character, Nancy and Mike’s troubled cousin from New York, and would want to pair her alongside Billy Hargrove. I think they’re ‘fuck this small town’ attitudes would work well along with other things.
As for Teen Wolf, I’d love for someone to play Derek Hale against my canon-divergent version of Paige Krasikeva. For those who don’t remember, Paige was teenage Derek’s girlfriend who was scratched by an alpha and Derek had to kill himself. In my version, Derek thinks he killed her but Peter brought her back to life and sent her off with her parents who moved. Now she’s back in season 3A as an adult music teacher at the high school with no memories of Derek or werewolves.

2023.06.10 20:05 bluRecluse Stacked order notification
I know the app shows you when your order is stacked with another when the driver accepts it, but does it show you when Uber adds a second order AFTER the driver accepts your order? There are times when I'm literally walking to my car after a pick up, or en route to the custo, and I'm offered a second (or third) pickup before delivery. I say before delivery, because as soon as I accept, it directs me to the next pickup instead of the first drop-off. If the custo isn't notified, it makes it seem as though I'm multi-apping rather than simply following the app. That's shitty for them AND makes us look like d1cks.

Does anyone know what the protocol is for making a complaint against an AT? I served a course where one of the male teachers called a female student psychotic and had the cops called on her. She was not psychotic. I was the course manager and was deeply involved.
Please remember as you are replying - I'm just curious about the organizational structure. I am not trying to cause trouble. The ATs are still people and people can make bad decisions and abuse their positions. I'm just curious what the recourse is when these things happen. Any info is appreciated.

2023.06.10 20:04 Dashan-Yuan [Store] UNIKEYS Sarokeys Strawberry Wine Switch Instock/ Jerrzi Paradox Switch/KTT Hyacinth Switch/ MDD Linear and Tactile Switches/Wisteria Themed Keycaps/More Unknown Error Cables
Hi everyone, here is
Unikeys Before I update you guys on the new products we have, I would like to loop you in on another few things first:
- BSUN X Switch production: I contacted the factory on Friday, and they told me that everything is still on schedule. However, due to the fact that BSUN is having a super high volume of orders right now, the delivery date could be subject to change. Let's all hope that does not happen.
- Paradise Switch and Aniya Switch in-stock sale: I am still working with the studios that designed those two switches to solve some logistics issues. Once everything is figured out, we will be able to have the switches shipped to our warehouse very soon.
- A teaser: Unikeys is currently working to design our very first switch, and we have settled on the materials being used, stem length, spring type, and manufacturer. The prototypes are on their way to me right now, and if everything goes right with them, I will release the IC post soon. The sale format will be in-stock.
Product Updates: Sarokeys Strawberry Wine Switch: The strawberry wine switches are gaining popularity constantly. We will have them instock whenever you feel like getting some to try.
Jerrzi Paradox Switch: The paradox switches feature a POK stem and full POM housing. You can also check out the video by Ipal Desse to see what they sound like:
Video KTT Hyacinth Switch: A classic option that I would recommend if you prefer thockiness
MDD Linear and Tactile Switches: These are super budget-friendly switches that give you a great typing experience. Due to the specially modified materials used on them, they also sound great!
Wisteria Keycaps: These keycaps are probably one of the most beautiful purple-themed keycaps I have seen (COMPLETE PERSONAL PREFERENCE). Now we have both the
light base and
dark base available.
Unknown Error Artisan Cables: Unknown Error Studio surprises me all the time as they keep pushing out these great designs:
- Glacier Blue
- Purple
- Starry White
- Morandi pink
- Peach Pink
Thank you all! I am looking forward to bringing more exciting switch and keycap projects to you.

In this course, I don’t talk about regurgitated strategies that should work “in theory” and “mindset” like most. Instead, we go through step by step and build a real live Shopify store that does over $350,000 in the first month of being live (profitable right from the get-go). I explain everything along the way and talk about how I scale much further from there! FEATURES OF THE COURSE The main focus of this course is to help beginners build a store on Shopify and market it through Facebook ads. In addition, I will also teach you how to properly structure your ads in a way that will bring consistent results. Due to the pandemic, people are more used to longer shipping times than ever. Combined with how effective and profitable Facebook ads currently are, I truthfully don’t think there has been a better time to get into dropshipping. This is the most revealing piece of content I have ever put out, as I even reveal some of my personal best selling products. My process for starting these stores is fairly similar every time, meaning you can use these exact steps to start your own online store. Tired of living on autopilot? Sick of waking up early and making your boss financially free?Want to achieve financial success and be able totake care of your family? If you’re ready for a change then scroll to the bottom. Main reasons why most people fail at this business model. 1st They listen to useless youtube advice that is outdated and made to steer you in the wrong direction. 2nd People waste too much time on finding a winning product, instead of learning how to properly market to customers’ emotions. 3rd Newbies tend to always focus on the least important factors like making the store, instead of learning how to properly market and scale.

2023.06.10 20:04 Crit_Crab Changing the Jug
So my party completed The House of Man and Crocodile last week. Much fun was had. Yay!
They claimed the Alchemy Jug, but have yet to identify it, though I expect that will be their #1 priority this week.
We kinda like the hexcrawl/survival element of the campaign, so having a magic item that can make 12 gallons of water is kinda OP. I’ve decided to tone that down, and change some of the other liquids to things that might be weirder or have survival application.
Here is my revised list: - Acid, 8oz - Basic Poison, 1/2 oz - Beer, 1 gallon - Honey, 1/2 gallon - Mayonnaise, 1 gallon - Oil, 1 quart - Dinosaur Urine (random), 1 gallon - Water (Drinkable), 1 gallon - Chum, 1/2 gallon - Wine, 1 gallon
Does this seem to work? Or is it lame? Have I ruined this item’s usability by kneecapping it?
I’m open to changing other things as well, maybe alchemists fire, glue, a swarm of bees, or ball bearings? I donno. I have a few days to finalize it.
What do you guys think?

2023.06.10 20:03 BillPlunderones23fg Why I don't like this series
So when I first read it, I was actually enjoying it. It had a fun premise and was amusing and some of the plot twists were good............. Then it kept going, getting dumber, bad character descions, and I just don't care anymore. I skim the newest chapters to see if anything good happens... Most part it doesn't. and recent chapters have not helped either with the constant back and forth between him I think engaged to Erika yet going for Segawa (if that engagement was cancelled and such then sorry just shows how much I don't care anymore lol)
But my real main issue with the series is something I have a problem with in a lot of manga/anime. I am a huge fan of female on male abuse if it is done correctly: In my case the girl uses wrestling moves as punishment instead of the typical overused punches and kicks. So I naturally enjoyed Sachi the most as she is Nagi's sister and she beats him up with wrestling moves...
If Only We saw That more often.......... So here is where my gripe comes in. Manga: around ch 16 Sachi put Nagi in an armlock we got to see that, and then it cut to the exterior of the house and we just see the speech and sfx then it cuts back when she is done. Meh that could have been better. bit later idk what chapter: Sachi puts Nagi in a headlock... then it cuts to the exterior of the house and we just see the speech and sfx....... Later we see Sachi's embarrassed face and then cut to the exterior of the house and just hear her beating him up and never showing it......... And ever since then she hasn't done anything not even a denki anma to him which is pretty popular in japan between siblings.
I very much dislike Tell not show, so when the abuse comedy happens and we just cut to an exterior of the setting and hear it. that's a waste for me and pretty dang annoying, and this series does it 3 times. So when the anime was coming out I was iffy animation looked good but I had hope that maybe the anime would include the Sachi abuse that the manga cut away from...
It didn't... It actually did it worse.
The armlock was shown but then it cut to exterior of house and we hear Nagi pain then it cuts back to them in talking mode the headlock was shown but then it cuts to exterior of house and we hear Nagi pain... BUT then we cut right back to Nagi laying on floor after being beaten and then go to next scene...... third one Sachi embarrassed face and we cut to exterior of house and hear her beating him, But then we cut back and Sachi has him in a Camel Clutch (one of my favorite moves) Yay thank goodness. But too little too late and also this is episode 21, Oh and the actual move is not done in good detail and then cuts to a real close up of Sachi face and end credits - you couldn't keep the shot of the move and then end , why did we need a close up...
Ugh if this was their way of being faithful to the manga it is a lazy way lol and makes me angry , Doesnt absolve of the other issues of the series but If they kept this stuff up and shown it, Or had Sachi do more I would at least have been entertained... I can overlook bad things if there is enough good things to keep me entertained. Oh and the few times Erika abuses Nagi it is with freaking punches and kicks - hate that and Segawa is a kickboxer too -- hate that too... So yeah those are my thoughts and I wanted to vent, I do hope the series ends good at least, Nisekoi was another similar example but that one at least had some great comedy and character interactions to warrant it's longevity. The author's previous work of Yamada and the 7 Witches was good (i still had my issues with that one) and the Yankee Megane one (I had more issues with that but still found it entertaining) current one Hiiragi-San Vampire has promise but I fear it will go down same path so I am having issues with that one too.

2023.06.10 20:03 cheeriosandmilk12 I think our advisory board provides little to no real value.
I’m most likely coming into a startup because I like and trust the founder, and I think the product has a lot of potential. This is my first time attempting a startup, but I have some small business experience, being contracted to build MVPs, and doing freelance. My only concern is about the advisory board.
First of all, I’m not convinced an advisory board is necessary. It feels like one of those things that everyone says you should do and everyone does because everyone else does it. I’d rather create a board out of necessity than “just because we’re told to”. Second, ours seems crowded and ineffective.
The current makeup of the board is this:
- Two enterprise level customers in the domain we serve
- Another domain specific expert
- “Serial” entrepreneur with an apparently successful exit
- IT/tech sales person in a big company
- Owner of related company who can put us in touch with over a hundred enterprise level customers in our domain.
- CFO who isn’t on the board but is giving advice regularly.
- Someone else who isn’t on the board but is helping with the startup
- Research person that was just added.
- They want to add an HR person to the advisory board (We don’t have employees)
- They tried to add a tech person to advise me (a tech person) but I said no.
They all look amazing on paper, but I’m not seeing a lot of actual results.
Most of the web suggests to have a max of 5 advisory members, where I’d prefer 1-3. Shouldn’t the board members know there’s too many people and advise of this?
From what I can find, Investors don’t like large advisory boards because of dilution, and too many people make decisions harder and slower. ChatGPT says it demonstrates the founders lack expertise.
Also, it seems like things that should be advised of haven’t been handled to the degree I’d expect from a quality advisory board.
The pitch deck didn’t give me a clear understanding of the problem. I had to read through a lot of documents, imagery, and go back and forth with the founder to understand the problem and solution. Reading through it a second time I see it more clearly, but I feel like a quality advisory board would have advised it be redone until it quickly, clearly explains the problem to anyone who’s not an expert in that field. Right now it feels like only an industry expert would understand in a short time. Even then, it's lots of words and difficult to consume quickly.
In the small business world there’s a concept of the 30 second elevator pitch, where you can explain your business to anyone, and it took me hours to figure out what was being solved. It’s a complex topic, but I still feel like it’s possible, and extremely important to condense it into a quick, digestible sales pitch.
The pitch deck also didn’t give any industry growth numbers, no how much money we’ll make, no competition listed or anything financial, no plan on how they're going to acquire customers, so I had to do my own research on that, which is when I got excited about the product.
When I met them they didn’t have a pricing model that they were set on trying. I think they had some ideas, but they’re really driving down the “get funding” route, so you’d think a variety of pricing models would have been clearly defined since they want to pitch investors.
Also it took them about 5-6 months to find a tech cofounder (me). I’m pretty excited about the potential. I think it’s a huge opportunity, and anyone who understands the solution would want in, so I’m surprised it took 6 months to get someone fully committed.
Why hasn’t anyone recommended the cofounder matching platform? Anyone in the startup world should know about it. There’s also a bunch of tech meetups they could have gone to to mingle with developers. With how many "job boards" and "restaurant app", "sport app" and 'social media' ideas are out there, this was a breath of fresh air, guaranteed to capture interest.
Did anyone advise them that hiring a dev shop is a horrible idea? They were close to pulling the trigger before I showed up, and with how complicated the problem domain is, I imagine it would have been a nightmare working with an agency.
I also think four “industry specific” professionals on the board is too much. Rather than give equity I think a referral program would be much cheaper and more successful.
I’m undecided on the idea of having HR on the board, or possibly attorneys. I think these types of things we should at least consider paying fair market value, as they have a good chunk of savings and income.
Anyways, are these red flags? It just seems like a quality advisory board would have these things buttoned up better than they are. Maybe they’re serving other roles.
There’s been no commitment yet to give any specific amount of equity to any board members, so I think I am going to tell the founder we need to take a step back and consider what each board member brings to the table, or switch to a cash payout instead.
The founder has been very successful in the industry, and is extremely easy to work with. Our values align and I really think we have a great working relationship so far. All of my orange and red flags revolve around the advisors….
I’m not afraid to talk over this with the founder, but I am afraid of going into the conversation unprepared. So I’m hoping you can share your thoughts. It’s possible I’m just making bad excuses to cut people out because I don't want to share the equity, but it also doesn't feel like they're providing value worth giving equity for. Am I making a big deal out of nothing?

2023.06.10 20:02 Weekly_Palpitation92 can someone redraw my characters digitally in an art style similar to R&M?
| my SO and i made these characters together for a cartoon we want to make, but they cant draw in the Rick and Morty-like art style i was imagining, so maybe y'alls could come up with some redesigns? :) Joel Edwards: was thinking of a color palette of vanilla skin, brown hair, light blue for the eyes and beanie, purple for the hoodie, grey for the pants, and black shoes, was also thinking of removing the facial hair and swapping the smiley for the one from "The Watchmen" Professor Spaysthyme: was thinking almond skin, auburn hair, green for the eyes, headband, and shirt, white for the lab coat, dark grey for the pants, and black for the shoes and glasses, she is of Korean descent Mechanically Augmented Xerofeline (M.A.X.): was thinking a shiny metallic grey for the face plate, and a grey fur on the rest of the body, with black for the sunglasses and fedora Tim Jones: was thinking tanned brown skin, dark brown hair and facial hair, brown eyes, a white t-shirt, dark blue overalls, and brown boots Coop the Goldfish: the design was never finished because neither of us know how to draw a mech suit, so i guess you can be more creative with this one :) was thinking orange and red scales on him like a normal goldfish, with black for the eyes and tophat, then red, green, and blue wires connecting the mech suit and the fish tank, then metallic grey and silver colors for the mech suit Forest Forrest: his eyes are flowers with yellow petals and an orange center, his head is a light green flytrap, he has darker green leaves for hair and a straw-colored straw hat, then he has dark green vines that make up the muscles of his large anthropomorphic body, and brown treebark that covers all non-joints on his body from the neck down that acts sort of like an exoskeleton Thank you very much in advance, artists who decide to draw these characters :) submitted by Weekly_Palpitation92 to DrawForMe [link] [comments] |

Hi everyone, here is
Unikeys Before I update you guys on the new products we have, I would like to loop you in on another few things first:
- BSUN X Switch production: I contacted the factory on Friday, and they told me that everything is still on schedule. However, due to the fact that BSUN is having a super high volume of orders right now, the delivery date could be subject to change. Let's all hope that does not happen.
- Paradise Switch and Aniya Switch in-stock sale: I am still working with the studios that designed those two switches to solve some logistics issues. Once everything is figured out, we will be able to have the switches shipped to our warehouse very soon.
- A teaser: Unikeys is currently working to design our very first switch, and we have settled on the materials being used, stem length, spring type, and manufacturer. The prototypes are on their way to me right now, and if everything goes right with them, I will release the IC post soon. The sale format will be in-stock.
Product Updates: Sarokeys Strawberry Wine Switch: The strawberry wine switches are gaining popularity constantly. We will have them instock whenever you feel like getting some to try.
Jerrzi Paradox Switch: The paradox switches feature a POK stem and full POM housing. You can also check out the video by Ipal Desse to see what they sound like:
Video KTT Hyacinth Switch: A classic option that I would recommend if you prefer thockiness
MDD Linear and Tactile Switches: These are super budget friendly switches that give you a great typing experience. Due to the specially modified materials used on them, they also sound great!
Wisteria Keycaps: These keycaps are probably one of the most beautiful purple themed keycaps I have seen (COMPLETE PERSONAL PREFERENCE). Now we have both the
light base and
dark base available.
Unknown Error Artisan Cables: Unknown Error Studio surprises me all the time as they keep pushing out these great designs:
- Glacier Blue
- Purple
- Starry White

2023.06.10 20:01 J-MonBG UFC 289 Betting Picks (cross posted from u/TheMidwestBest
UFC 289 Betting Preview
Picks will be finalized once all lines/props are released Saturday mid morning. I realize based on different books you may not be able to get the exact prop/line I post. If you have a question on if you should still bet what your book shows, just ask.
Also, we are here to make money together. I will have losing weeks. Look at the big picture when tailing. Anyone who tells you they win every single time is a fraud, and you should find new friends. I will include fights I am eyeing only. Results will be tallied by Total Profit/Loss.
I’ve included additional social pages I have included on my profile that will be best for adjustments/live plays etc. Feel free to follow. J-MonBG is my backup for Reddit I created as I don’t have the password or email attached (Reddit doesn’t let you add after the fact)for TheMidwestBest and if I ever get signed out I will post solely there. Also have Twitter in my profile for you to follow. All additions and live plays will be posted there only. Now to the picks. 1 unit-$100
Dvorak/Erceg: $100 on Any Other outcome than Dvorak by decision (-130 odds). Erceg is making his debut. Both fighters are finishers. We win with any finish or Erceg stealing a decision. I expect someone to get caught on this caught with Dvorak coming forward. He is extremely durable and not afraid to take one to get one. As long as he doesn’t win via scorecard, this is a winner. Multiple paths and the first play to kick off the betting card.
BildeNelson: $200 on fight to go under 2.5 rounds (-145 odds) Nelson comes in all gas no brakes until he gasses. He could catch Bilder with chaos. Bilder prefers to take this to the ground and hunt for a submission but can catch Nelson coming in crazy. 3 paths to a finish before middle of the 3rd round.
Maverick/Jasudavicius: $50 on fight under 2.5 rounds (+275 odds). Jasudavicius will prefer to try and take this to the mat as she is at a disadvantage standing. Maverick has a large number of submission wins and will be comfortable. Expecting a sneaky finish (more than likely on the ground. With this huge value it’s worth a half unit.
Curtis/Imavov: $100 on Chris Curtis ML (+140) the odds are moving against us as people keep piling on Imavov. A big factor here is Imavov hasn’t beaten anybody noteworthy and Curtis is a solid gatekeeper type. Imavov just lost a decision to none other than Sean Strickland who is best friends/training buds with Curtis. I believe Strickland will have laid out the blueprint. If Curtis doesn’t win, I see him getting finished in some spectacular way, but love the value we are getting with someone who has durability and fighting an up and comer who has yet to prove himself.
Anders/Barriault: $50 Fight to NOT go the distance (+113 odds). Two guys who are comfortable on the ground which typically means they stand and bang. Barriault likes to come forward and pressure and Anders has power and is the more athletic fighter. Good value for someone to get caught in this type of stylistic matchup.
LandwehIge: $200 fight will NOT go the distance (-140 odds).
$50 Ige by KO, DQ, TKO or Submission (even odds)
Nate the train is push the pace all action. Ige is more than likely going to counter punch and find a missile he can finish Landwehr with. This has the makings of a war. It’d be best for Ige to finish early as Nate the Train builds momentum and relies on gassing his opponent later in the fight.
Malott/Fugitt: $100 (-135 odds) on Malott to win inside the distance.
$50 Malott by DQ, KO, TKO, or Submission (-155 odds)
Malott has a 100% finish rate in his wins for a reason. Couple that with him being in front of his home town Canadians and I expect him to put on a show.
Dariush/Oliviera: $100 Dariush ML (-145 odds). I really do not want either of these guys to lose. I just think Dariush is too smart and will control Charles if and when it does go to the ground. Info not see him getting submitted as he has elite fight IQ and a dangerous ground game of his own. I think he only loses by getting caught. This is his moment and I believe he has the plan in place to beat the wonderful, entertaining Chucky Olives.
Aldana/Nunes: $25 ML. This is purely a value play at +280. Nunes is on the women’s Mt. Rushmore for women’s MMA. There has been constant talks of retirement with her. Meanwhile, something special is brewing for Mexican MMA between Grasso, Yair and Moreno. She has a small path to victory with her standup but is also sneaky with submissions. With not knowing where Nunes heart/head is, it’s worth a small play.
Parlays: 1.)Malott and Curtis ML $25 to win $62.50 2.)Dariush and Anders ML $25 to win $64.71 3.) $10 Curtis, Anders, Malott, Dariush Ml to win $106.30

2023.06.10 20:01 ZeonoxButBetter Attack of the Dead Terrans (Reupload)
The last one have some problem with spacing and character amount Sorry for the absence of story for the last two weeks. No I'm not dead, it's just my exams weeks. And because of that, I have to redirect a lot of energy from writing. So all the stories I've developed over the past two weeks have sort of run aground, and I'm not sure they're ready to be uploaded here, yet. But now I'm back and ready to write some more, so roll up that daily disclaimer: As usual accidental copy is truly unintentional
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~7th Chromia Orbital Dock Facility~ ~Orbit of Oskwa~ "Have they arrived yet?" I asked to my fellow commander.
"Yes General Burg, the convoy has just unloaded the... cargo just now" General Von said, looking down through the glass barrier to the cargo bay below where hundreds of yellow capsule-like containers sat in rows.
"Good, so I assume that the assault could be launch in a few hours?" I asked.
"After we distributed this to the orbital bomber we should be clear to go"
"Excellent! We'll finally be able to destroy that annoying little castle of them" I exclaimed. Excited, because finally after months of fighting, we'll be able to seize the last stronghold of the Terran Republic on this planet.
Fort Linsky, a large military fortification built by the Terran Republic before the war on the planet of Oskwa, one of their territory at the time. Equipped with eight pairs of massive railgun cannons, each with the capability to penetrate anything ranging from our capital ships in low orbit to anything on the ground not covered by at least twenty meters of solid rock within the range of one thousand kilometers from its' location.
There were more of them before. But since our invasion, with either brilliant tactic, incompetent opponents, or a pinch of luck. We managed to destroy or seized all the other fort on this planet.
But Fort Linsky on the other hand is harder. Its fortification is enforced not only by its massive cannons, but also by what our soldiers on the ground called 'The Torture Zone'.
First the most obvious one, the giant wall covering the entire parameter. A huge twenty five kilometers long stone-composite wall, shaped like a giant star with spikes sticking out of each end, circling the ring where the railguns take places. Rendering all kind of ground incursion imposible.
Behind the wall there is the 'artillery', somewhat a miniature version of the railguns they're trying to protect. A long range kinetic weapon capable of yeeting medium sized projectile, both High Explosive and Armoured Piercing. Preventing any of our heavier vehicles to get close and deal any damages.
And then there is the 'always on particle shield'. While their counterpart in space is extremely weak, their usage here was proved effective against all sort of our attacks. Be it orbital bombardment, areal assault, or our own artillery or missile attack.
And of course lastly, we have the Human themself. A tough mammals bipedal species born on a level six death world. Raised by wars they have perfected the art of defense, utilizing the terrain and weather for their advantage.
In battle they themselves go forth to fight, in armor suit five meters tall equipped with a large gun and a pile of rockets that can be fired to scorch our troops.
And accompanied by innovative flying vehicles that uses a single propeller to lift themself from the ground, armed with the same weapon hold by the armour suit they become the thorns that've always prevented us from occupying this fort.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I stepped down from my transport ship to the barren ground, on a mountain ten kilometers away from the fort. Just outside their artillery range, and on a such makeshift observation point it would be worthless to shoot us out with their railguns.
"Is everything ready?" I asked to one of my officer.
"Yes Sir, General Borg just sent out the last confirmation signal" He reported.
"Good" I responded just before a flock of officers approach.
"Sir, are we sure with this?"
"Yeah gas attack seems a little too much, perhaps even breaching the Communities Treaty of war"
"And are we even sure this will work?" They asked one after another.
"Hey, do you remember what've they done all through the war? The sight of their armour suit killing all of our soldier? their rail gun destroying our base? I bet they have committed several warcrimes on their own.
And yeah, We're pretty sure this one will work. Our capsules is small enough to slip through the particle shield, and their content... Well gas attack have been banned by the Terran Republic, so I'm sure it's bad for them. And what gasses are we using again? chlorine and bromine? yeah I think they're included in the banned substance" I said reassuring the officers.
Not long after, the time finally came. Receiving the signal from the Borg, we sat and watched as hundred of small yellow capsules pierces the cloudy sky with green tails coming out of 'em. Passing through the Terrans shield, straight down to the rows of troops doing their morning call.
Landing next to the unsuspecting soldiers the capsules burst and released their contents. Thick green smokes billowed from the shattered containers, soon filling up the whole facility with an eerie chemical haze.
We watched silently from afar. We couldn't see individual soldiers anymore, but from the lack of large response or any other movements around the base, I think it's safe to assume we've caught the Terrans off guard.
"Yeah, that should kill them" I said breaking the silence.
"We better start moving now, before any surviving Terrans re-enact the automatic defense"
We jumped into our armoured vehicles, surrounded by around twelve thousand troops ready to captured the fort.
Approaching the structure, we could feel the atmosphere getting cold. The still lingering green gasses floating low on the ground, getting darker each moments as the thick cloud from the ever-closing storm covered the sky.
"Well at least the rain could clean up this mess" I said to myself.
Closing in, now only a few hundred meters, we could fully feel the eerie state of this fortress. A huge ominous dark wall covered in green haze stretched out for miles, accompanied by a huge thunder on our east suddenly halted the movement of our forces.
The frightened troops stopped on its march, shaking on their boots.
'What are they afraid of, there shouldn't be anyone anymore in that fort' I muttered, trying to figured out what happened.
And that's where I see it, no... see them.
Dozen of bulky silhouette, accompanied by a couple hundreds smaller hump lined up between us and the wall. I squint my eyes, the figures standing menacingly became clearer as the green smokes cleared.
'It-it's the Terrans! T-they're still alive!?!' I screamed internally, clenching the iron bars I was holding onto.
The Terrans, on their armoursuits once again challenging our march, but there's something wrong.
Their beige colored skin has grown darker, now with black ulcers and red patches covered many of their exposed area, their once white eyes were now bloodshot like those of an ancient creature on our folklore, and where their mouths should have been, were now covered by all kind cloths with their bright red bloodstains splatred on it.
My frustration and annoyance suddenly turned to fear and horror as my blood ran cold from the realization. They... they're not alive anymore. Me and my troops stand there for a minute, trying to process the sights we behold. The silence continued as fear crawls on our back, forcing us not to move a muscle.
Suddenly out of nowhere a blood screeching screams rang across the battlefield. The Terrans letting out a battlecry as they began to charges. An entire legion of the undead leaping into our position with the classic noise of rockets and artillery soon followed.
"Retreat! Retreat!" I shouted, breaking the stagnant of my remaining troops.
Without wasting a second, the remaining nine thousand troops ran away from the cursed fortress. Racing back to the safety of our base.
Skipping some heartbeats I looked back, to the horror we just made.
'We didn't kill them, we just make them mad'
