$300 a month motel

Hi! I have been dating my boyfriend for a year and three months long distance. We haven’t met yet due to being full time students who’s schedules haven’t lined up, but we have spoken to each others family members and facetime or call daily. In the fall of this year my boyfriend is moving near his college to finish a second degree and has invited me to move in too, signing a lease and all. This is a big dream of ours, to close the distance, but I am hesitant because I do not yet have a job. Although I have recently begun applying, I am also waiting for acceptance into a masters program which would take up much of my time come fall. The apartment we want to lease is beginning to run out of spots, so to live there we would need to sign now. My boyfriend encourages me to sign anyway under the pretense that he can pay my rent until I have a job, but I would very guilty about this as he would need to work way more while also attending school (he would have enough to pay the rent for both of us for about 6 months, so I would have 6 months to continue looking for a job if I do not immediately find one). He says that if I do not move in, he will have to break up with me because he will have so little time between work and school to maintain a relationship. I do love him very much, but I’m so hesitant given the uncertainty of having a job or getting a masters. What would you do if you were me?

First of all, I am a total beginner in record player. I normally listens to apple music with my nice little IEM (Westone W60). I do care about about sound quality, I really enjoy music with wild sound stage, nice balanced mids and treble. I enjoy some occasional bass but def not a bass head.
But I'm also concerned about my wallet so... hoping to start off with a medium budget for the record player set up.
Turntable: I have in mind to purchase either the Fluance RT85N or Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO. Fluance is around US$100 cheaper, so I am leaning towards this, but does the sound quality of them differs significantly? What will be the key difference?
Amp: Integrated amp to save me some hassle. I came across PS Audio Sprout 100 with bluetooth receiver, seems like a good choice!! This look so nice but US$800 is a bit too pricy for me... Any other similar suggestions but with a lower price?? say ~$500-600
Speakers: I want it to work with both record player and streaming music directly from mobile phone. I guess with an integrated amp with bluetooth receiver, I can easily stream music from my phone and play it with passive speakers? Is that how it works? If that's the case the speakers I have in mind are Klipsch RP500M or 600M. Whats the major difference between them besides price? should I go for 500M becoz its US$100 cheaper? And any other suggestion for budget of ~US$300-500?
Thanks everyone!!! I did spent so much time researching around this but this would love everyone's comments and inputs.

I just signed up for anatomy class 3 months ago but my parents fear I will be worried about the class during my vacations. My adviser says summer classes are not required for GradPath. I might be planning to change it back into a traditional path during fall 2023/winter 2024. Should I drop off from this summer class so I don’t want to worry about it?

I got my implant inserted in feb of 2021, and my periods completely stopped about 2 months after. I’ve had no periods for just over 2 years now and woke up with a super heavy period this morning. Im having cramping, bloating, and all the symptoms I used to experience with my periods. Has anyone else experienced this? If so was it something normal or something you had to see a doctor about. Any info helps :) Info: I haven’t been sexually active in the last year, so no chance of pregnancy. I am on it for period relief and to help decrease hormonal migraines. I have noticed more migraines but am chalking that up to a lapse in migraine meds due to a shortage at my pharmacy.

Yes, similar questions have been asked before and I've gone through them. Context: I'm trying to buy 11-months old car from a colleague, and sales taxes seem too complex.
A couple of clarifications that I need:

1. Would seller need to pay the salex tax to WA state? For example, if the car-value is 50K and he sells me at 40K, would he need to pay standard 10.1% tax on top of 40K?
2. If Seller doesn't pay that, would I (buyer) need to pay that in addition to the use tax?
   1. From what I understand, WA site - use-tax documentation says I'd need to pay 10.1% tax on "fair value" (KBB?) + 0.3% tax in total. Could someone confirm?
3. If Seller pays sales tax on bill of sale, would I still need to pay use-tax?

Have read so many websites and of course chat-gpt & bard but not getting a clear answer. Would very much appreciate some inputs.

I’m so confused. After a few months of being on BC to “rest” my ovaries, everything got thrown off. So, doc said to just start the Letrozole 2.5 (first round). Well, as luck would have it, the day after last dose - AF showed up. Im still temping and doing OPKs. I have had one low temp night, but my OPK didn’t correlate. Normally OPKs are decently correct for me. We’ve been BDing throughout just to be safe. My big question, if I had a period right after the letrozole, will the letrozole even work?
Is this a waste?
Thanks!

Getting DI top surgery no nips on July 6th! Less than a month away. Anybody surgery buddies with me??
I have a DDD cup size chest and it seems like the dysphoria gets worse every day it gets closer to surgery. And so does the pain from the sheer weight of these weapons of mass dysphoria.
People keep telling me a surgery isn’t gonna change my life but I fully believe it will, physically and mentally/emotionally. I can’t wait for my body to finally feel like my home.

28 M, 5’9 150lbs, no medications, history of chronic sinusitis and bi polar disorder. I use nicotine no alcohol or drugs.
Symptoms: dizziness, difficulty swallowing , cramps in legs , stomach cramps, waking up just feeling fatigue that last throughout the day. Tight neck and back. This has all been going on for months ( believe in started in October)
Info so far: Been to several drs who typically dismiss me as being a young healthy male. Give me very little time of day. I’m becoming frustrated. I finally got a dr to order some tests. Abnormalities I see include: high albumin 5.4 H ( reference range 3.6-5.1) , Low ALT 7 ( reference range 9-46 U/L), And then they also performed an ANA test on me which I tested POSITIVE with a speckled pattern. That ANA was 140 which said negative was >140 , 140-180 low , 180 + high.
My question: I did some research, does this mean I have an autoimmune disease? Reading these results do any DRs have any concerns from them?
After my lab results the dr never followed up to discuss them or anything. I had to beg the office to just send the results. Thank you for taking time to review I greatly appreciate it !

What is the best housing option? Barracks have mold, hotel would be fine, base housing is full, apartment in town for only 6 months?
E-6, 10 YOS, No Dependents, have an apartment full of stuff. C-school is long enough to qualify as a PCS move. NMTSC website says E-4+ with 4+ YOS rate BAH.
None of the phone numbers for NMTSC have picked up so far, and the DetaileECM are on Leave. Any other options to reach out for answers?
I’m leaning toward base hotel if it’s an option and just keep my stuff in Non Temporary Storage until I get orders at the end of the school. Has anyone done this? Are other options better?

So on mother's day 2015 when I was 20, I fractured my L5 vertebrae after taking a nasty fall. I didn't realize it was broken at the time, and continued to walk around with it for about a month before going to a chiropractor for the pain. They told me to get x rays, and the x rays confirmed I had a fracture, but nothing was actually done about it. I don't remember why unfortunately, that whole period in my life is a blur because it was amid all the messy fallout of my father's death that January.
Flash forward to 8 years later and I still have searing back pain. I'm unable to stand or walk for more than a couple minutes. It impairs my ability to work (I'm on SSI now because I'm practically wheelchair bound) and even function normally like standing long enough to make food at a kitchen counter or take a shower.
In doing my own research, I've sort of self-diagnosed myself with spinal stenosis according to all the symptoms I've read about it, most notably in that not only does sitting relieve my back pain, but also leaning on something. If I lean all my weight with my back against a wall, that relieves the pain, and also if I lean on a hard surface on my hands or elbows like a table or counter and take the weight off my legs and back, that will also relieve the pain. Leaning isn't as effective as sitting down though.
I've had x rays since, that confirm my back looks normal. Most recently the other day, I finally was approved for a full blown MRI, which took a 35 minute scan of my back, and the results came back... normal. According to the scan, there is absolutely nothing remarkable about my back.
Has anyone else had this experience? What's the next step in finding out what's wrong with me? I feel like I'm being freaking gaslit about my chronic pain. Why can't I stand or walk for more than a minute or two without suffocating pain, if my back is "normal" according to every scan I've ever gotten for it? I don't even know what the next step is, I thought for sure the MRI would give me some answers. I don't even know what to ask for or pursue next and would love to hear others stories or tips. Also if any additional information is needed from me, I'm happy to provide.

I'm coming to Ireland from America for a month tomorrow, and I smoke a lot at home so I'm looking for somewhere to get good products in Dublin. I'd like some good real carts if that is possible but Delta 8 or HHC or something would work I guess. If anyone knows where I could get some please let me know! If anyone has any suggestions about how to find bud in Dublin it would be really appreciated too.

We are currently living in a 1 bedroom apartment and there is just no more space to put stuff. We completely outgrew this apartment. Because of that for the last 3-4 months i completely lost the ability to clean, organize and cook properly and it just keeps getting worse.
Next month we are moving to a big enough house and i can barely keep it together until then. Just forcing myself to do the bare minimum until we move, and then ill finally be able to put all the stuff away in their proper place.
It also doesnt help that my toddler destroys everything in his way and just loves creating chaos all around him.

I've been trying to get this to work over the last several months. I have a 2nd Gen Fire Cube in my living room and a 2nd Gen Fire Cube with 2 echo dots in my bedroom. I'm trying to get music to play through all 4 at the same time. I have all 4 set up in the "everywhere" group. I've tried many different ways:

1. I ask Alexa, on my Fire Cube in my bedroom to "play music everywhere" and only my 2 echo dots plays the music.
   
2. I ask Alexa, on either of my dots, to "play music everywhere" and the 2 dots play music.
   
3. I ask Alexa, on my Fire Cube in my living room to "play music everywhere" and it turns the TV on and plays the music on the stereo my TV is connected to. The other 3 devices doesn't play music.
   
4. I tried unpaired the group, and then ask Alexa in my bedroom to "play music" and it plays music on the 2 dots.
   

Ultimately, my 2 Fire Cubes refuse to play music through their built in speakers.
Oddly, when I go to setup up a speaker group, my Fire Sticks are on the list but Sticks don't have any speakers 😒
Any suggestions on how to get all for devices to play music? TIA!

I thought it was actually quite good, it was better then some of the movies that Spielberg had come out recently. I remember being so built up for Ready Player One, then being dissapointed on it being actually kind of boring. That movie just did not engage me like I thought it would. West Side Story, I never ended up watching, despite all of the hip. I was afraid the Fablemans would end up being the same way, despite the fact that I was really looking forward to it for months on end. In the end, this movie actually ended up being what I thought it would be, althought in the middle part, when Sam Fableman stops filming for a time, kind of dragged slightly, when it focused on his parents, althought the Anti Semantic bully scenes were actually quite dramatic. In the end, when Fableman picks up his camera again, it really takes off again. What were your thoughts upon seeing this movie?

Hey everybody,
Been doing a lot of research lately on what work boot to get. I’m a UPS driver and in the past two years I’ve went through three (or four) sets of boots, mainly due to the outsole failing apart. All those pairs were Danner, and with the exception of the Quarry (which is my other pair of work boots that are steel toed - too heavy for a delivery driver), every pair has just not held up.
I’m looking into switching boot brands to either Red Wing or Thorogood. Which pairs from each brand, I don’t know. But just wanted to know what brand you’d choose! Ultimately I understand walking 10 miles in a day and getting in and out of a truck 300+ times a day will take its toll on boots, but I’d still appreciate some advice. Thanks!

I am writing this because I have read so many comments on here of people still struggling to sleep after quitting caffeine. What's suggested in this post may not be relevant to most people because everyone's body varies and has different needs/deficiencies, but I want to share my experience just in case it can help someone who's struggling out there.
Background: It's been 9 months + since I've quit and up until 4 days ago my sleep still sucked (my sleep has sucked for almost 10 years). One of the biggest reasons I quit coffee and caffeine in general was to increase my sleep quality. I thought that eliminating caffeine would finally enable me to sleep deeply. After I hit month 9 I was still waking up multiple times during the night and not entering deep sleep for longer than 30 minutes at a time. Without coffee I am much more able to function throughout the day even while feeling tired, but feeling sleep deprived day after day just flat out sucks.
One of the lifestyle changes I adopted after quitting caffeine was eating cleaner and adding more protein into my diet, this helped me have a bit more energy during the day but I still felt tired most of the time and it did not help me get less restless sleep. So despite quitting caffeine, eating whole foods, removing processed foods from my diet, keeping a consistent wakeup and bed time routine, along with all the other recommended sleep habits (getting sunlight in the morning, putting away electronics in the evening, sleeping in dark room etc), I still felt like an insomniac until...
I made a few changes in my lifestyle and almost immediately, after years of shitty sleep, I am finally getting consistently good sleep, not amazing but 10x better than before and each night's sleep is getting better than the night before. I am sitting here writing this with so much energy in the afternoon I just can't help but share!
So 4 days ago I started eating breakfast within an hour of waking up. Before quitting coffee, I would drink 2 cups on an empty stomach and not eat breakfast until around 11am/noon. After quitting coffee, I still kept the habit of not eating breakfast until the afternoon (intermittent fasting). A friend recently commented on this behavior and mentioned that I may be harming my metabolism and stressing out my body by not eating anything until lunch time. This led me to investigate how my metabolism works, and after reading all the symptoms of a slow/dysfunctional metabolism I was ready to experiment with some changes.
So 4 days ago I started eating shortly after waking up (within an hour) along with eating more calories (nutritious whole foods) throughout the day in an attempt to boost my metabolism and just after one day of doing this my sleep started improving. Nothing else has changed in my lifestyle, and after 4 days of eating 30 minutes of so after waking up my energy during the day has been off the charts. It's important to note that I have already been eating really clean and nutrient dense food (lots of fruits, grass-fed animal protein, grass-fed dairy etc).
I think a big reason why these changes of eating earlier in the day and eating more is working for me is that when you are in a fasted state your cortisol levels increase in your body and this stress can really slow down your metabolism and mess with your circadian rhythm. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8419605/#:~:text=For%20humans%2C%20cortisol%20begins%20to,levels%20%5B80%E2%80%9382%5D.
I am going to keep trying this routine of eating breakfast shortly after waking while eating more healthy meals throughout the day to see if my sleep keeps improving.
I wanted to give up and go back to coffee several times after quitting because I wasn't able to feel awake during the day. If you're currently struggling to sleep after quitting coffee AND you do any intermittent fasting or eat a late breakfast it may be something worth experimenting with.
