Pleas explain

2023.04.02 07:27 suddenlysilver Pleas explain

This is going to make me sound super ignorant and I mean no offense, but as someone from australia I just don’t understand why america does have better rights for workers?
All I hear is about how it’s the land of the free and the best country ever yet, I get free healthcare, have never stressed about a medical bill, have always had 4-5 weeks of paid annual leave, paid sick leave, paid maternity leave (never been preg, but it’s there) so on and so forth. Our work week is only 38 hours with paid break times and anything overtime is paid.
We have established minimum wage which is around $20. Can someone explain why it just hasn’t happened in america, supposedly “the best country?” I would have thought this is just standard for a first world country. Imagine claiming to be the best yet your wait staff depend on paying extra on their meal to support their wage…

Necromancer at Home: A Ranged DK build
This is not a serious build. This is an experimental meme build/playstyle based on a mental "what-if". This is most likely not viable in a competitive format with the current state of Unholy DK’s talents in mind. Sorry for the stream of consciousness of this essay.
A lot of the discussion I see about a prospective Necromancer class is that it's redundant amongst the current roster of classes. Death Knights raise and control the dead, and Warlocks are (essentially) dark magicians that also summon evil creatures. While there's clearly a gap between these two, there's also arguably not enough of a gap to justify the creation of unique assets, playstyle, separate armor sets, etc. like there was for previous added classes. The fact that necromancers within the game itself are often given DK/Lock abilities further drives this home.
Which brings me to this: what's the closest we can get to closing that gap, while still being able to maintain a coherent rotation (read: not literally spamming a single button)? There’s been memey discussion about this in the DK discord for months already, so now it's down to execution.
Thus, the Ranged Death Knight build.
This is an Unholy build that attempts to follow these rules:
  1. Use only abilities that can be used at ranged distance, or that have no required ranged.
  2. Minimize passive buffs given to melee only abilities - enemies will enter melee range with or without your help, especially enemies that charge. However, while capitalizing on a charging mob or uncontrolled aggro can be helpful, you have to draw a line.
  3. Try to keep your overall melee auto-attack damage to a minimum - or basically, stay at range.
TALENT TREE: https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/death-knight/unholy/DAPUVEEBSEVBBEUhqUAOVVFEERiEFFUkhQBU
Notable abilities banned here are Festering Strike, Apocalypse, Unholy Assault, Soul Reaper. Three of these are talents further down on the tree, but Festering Strike will be particularly concerning with anyone who plays Unholy DK.
For those unfamiliar with how Unholy DK operates, spreading Festering Wound (a dot that will explode when the enemy dies or upon slapped w/ Scourge Strike, typically applied via Festering Strike but can be applied in other manners), exploding stacks of wounds with Scourge Strike, then throwing some disease/zombie action in there, is basically the normal playstyle. You spend runes to build runic power, and spend runic power for big damage. Festering Wounds is such a major part of the toolset that it's at the tippy top of the talent tree. Since your main way of applying wounds is through a passive on your main ghoul, that part of the playstyle is significantly de-emphasized.
This build primarily focuses on the use of Clawing Shadows, a passive talent that turns the half-physical half-shadow melee Scourge Strike to a pure shadow 30-yd ranged ability. Without this talent, this build would not physically work. You NEED to have Clawing Shadows for this build.
Death Strike should technically be on this list, but I think since it's a self-heal that you're forced to take, you could excuse the use of it when something is meleeing you. I almost never use it myself for this playstyle since...it's not a ranged ability. This is why I take the usually skipped Death Pact - it's a self heal that doesn’t require melee range.
Let's now break down this rotation for standard play:
  • Outbreak (applies disease dots)
  • Place Death and Decay/Defile (big red circle) DIRECTLY UNDER YOU
  • Clawing Shadows to build Runic Power
  • Death Coil or Epidemic to spend Runic Power.
  • Use offensive buffs on CD
  • Use defensive buffs as needed. Anti-Magic Shield is particularly valuable as you gain runic power when damage is taken with it up.
As you see, while it's a short and fairly boring rotation, it (in my mind) is enough of a rotation to qualify as one. The result is a highly mobile ranged dps that does best in large packs, and this probably best suited in dungeons rather than raids. This build obviously doesn't operate cleanly in solo play, but you could spec into slows to compensate if desperate enough to try this in solo content. From this point on, this post might not make sense for those who aren't familiar with DK, so skip to after the picture if desired.
Before I continue, I'm going to point out something to those confused by my suggestion to place Death and Decay under the player instead of the mobs. Death and Decay, when the DK stands within it, will allow the player to turn their typically single target Scourge Strike/Clawing Shadows into a cleave hitting seven more targets. It might be easy to fall under the misconception that mobs will not be cleaved unless they are also standing in the Death and Decay, but this is not true. The only qualification for activating the cleave is that YOU are standing within the boundaries of the circle. You can stand as far away as physically possible, and the only thing that would prevent you from cleaving is the range of your Scourge Strike or Clawing Shadows. You will obviously lose out on Death and Decay's DOT damage, but you'll find out that the majority of your damage with this build is Clawing Strikes anyway. That said, if you are fighting a pure single target enemy or boss, you should put the Death and Decay under the enemy instead of under your feet. A macro helps a lot with this, especially one with a modifier.
We do want to take Improved Death Coil and Coil of Devastation, along with All Will Serve, Unholy Pact, and Reaping. Many of these talents I just suggested are usually preferred in raid builds instead of generic dungeon ones, and All Will Serve is not really a recommended talent. However, since we can’t rely on Festering Strike to do damage (and in turn, Festering Wounds), buffing Death Coil is the option we want to go down. All Will Serve is mostly a pathway that avoids Sudden Doom, but frankly, I think it’d be weird if a ranged DK didn’t have a bone archer skulking behind.
Rule 2 exists to justify the use of talents like Abomination Limb. As mentioned, this build is comparatively runic power starved due to the minimal use of sores. Abomination Limb does pull mobs into melee range, but we want to primarily use it as a way to build runic power quickly due to its secondary effect of applying Runic Corruption every six seconds. If you wanted to cheat a little, you could pop it for cases where you have to stack on bosses/enemies for whatever reason.
Near the bottom of the tree, we will take Gargoyle, Superstrain, Army of the Dead, and Commander of the Dead (and the talents needed to reach these). Unholy Aura is only helpful if you have a very loose definition of out-of-melee (melee range is 5-6yd, Aura is 8yd) but we’re not taking it for the helpfulness, it’s just in the way of Commander. Gargoyle is a major CD for this build, so Commander helps with that. Superstrain is a nice source of runic power and health. It’s no Death Strike, but it’s passive healing. Army of the Dead is an obvious choice since its extra damage we need.
Now, for talents that are possibly useful, but not enough to outright suggest for this stupid build.
If one decides to take Defile, you would take this talent solely for a chance at a stacking mastery buff with charging enemies or Abomination Limb pulling mobs in (which, hopefully, run back to your tank afterwards). The growth might help for staying in the Defile, but there are better options for a ranged build.
The logic of possibly choosing Sudden Doom or Rotten Touch is that since Clawing Shadows is pure shadow, the buff could be more valuable in combination with Death Rot. However, since auto-attack damage is connected to melee damage, the proc chance is even lower. You could choose to try and buff Clawing Shadows further by choosing the talents under Sudden Doom to compensate, but trying to buff a proc that triggers through auto-attacking seems futile for a ranged build (and seeing as intended playstyle builds opt not to take it at all and Blizz desperately tried to buff this line of talents in 10.0.7…).
I’ve decided against the usually-good Unholy Blight due to it being an aura (read: only useful when something is in melee range) that lasts for six seconds. The pathway it provides isn't useful either. If you wanted to take the aforementioned Defile, you would be better off going through Replenishing Wounds instead. You will already be going through the Replenishing Wounds pathway to avoid taking Improved Festering Strike, Feasting Strikes or Apocalypse to reach the two Dark buffs it connects to, but the extra runic power from the occasional wound pop is nice.
There might be better choices, but I haven't tested it out - trying to sim a build that revolves around doing the opposite of what your class is intended to do is nigh impossible.
The Boy Himself
Let's expand on our test subject: a level 70 Nightborne Death Knight named Eiswein. My lore for him is that he was originally a mage, then died in the Fourth war, then was resurrected as a Death Knight. He never really adapted to standing in melee range like he should, or the concept of stabbing people with swords, so he now refuses to stoop himself to that level. He is currently seeking out the secrets of the blue dragons and the arcane with the hope of restoring his magical abilities fully. He's incredibly pompous and snobby, and refers to his main minions as Timotheus and Albon.
His race choice wasn't a relevant pick for this test, I just didn't want to test out the build on my established main DK, and my other DKs were not good for me for whatever reason (one isn't on my home server, other is specless). I suppose if you were trying to minmax, Nightborne's bonus to magic damage is helpful, but you'd be better off choosing a troll for mini lust or void elf for their racial procs.
I try not to put him in high level content as I don't want to be yelled at by strangers for not playing the class properly in content they actually want to do well in. However, I've run m0s and a single m2 with him, and LFR. I mostly screw around in Timewalking with him, however, since the scaling makes for an okay equalizer. His ilvl is only around 385, so a setting where everyone has the same ilvl makes it easier to gauge whether my tweaks to his talent tree are an improvement or a waste. I could also punch dummies, but….eh.
From what I've noticed so far, people in pugs for lower-difficulty content aren't usually upset (or vocally so) at my playstyle for Eiswein. At the time of writing this, I've had two people ask me what the hell I was doing, and one person use /laugh at me (which could be a dig at my wonderful transmog, but I digress) during the Love is in the Air scenario. Both the people who have asked me dropped the subject quickly after I simply called it a meme build. As I said, if I were trying this build in a m20 or even an m15, people would be upset with me unless we went in all knowing that Eiswein was going to spin around like a ballerina the entire time.
As for damage output, I'm not going to lie - it's typically pretty low, though in large packs where I smash all of my cooldowns at once I can get to at least top of the details chart. Even in builds that don't revolve around wounds, they still serve as a way to spread Virulent Plague and thus need to be applied regularly someway. However, a better player than me could probably figure out how to make this build passable.
Basically, this build suffers in many areas, but messing with it did help me learn more about DK as a class and Unholy as a spec. I think we could have Unholy DK Ranged Build as a legitimate build if specific changes are implemented. Not major changes either.
Ways that Blizz could make Ranged UHDK viable:
  1. Implement a ranged version of Festering Strike as a talent, probably as a choice node.
  2. Extend the range of Soul Reaper OR Unholy Assault. Apocalypse could be an option too but I think these two would serve better as Apocalypse. I think Unholy Assault would be more fitting, but Soul Reaper would be nice to have at a 30yd range.
  3. Make Brain Freeze (our interrupt) a longer range in line with Clawing Shadows. Brain Freeze is 15yds, so interrupting requires weaving in and out that makes it annoying. Even 20yds would be nice, since Asphyxiate (a stun talent) is 20yds.
  4. Make Magus/Ruptured talent node not under Apocalypse. This gripe is not a major one since normal DKs aren’t affected by this, but me not picking Apoc means no frosty mage boi, and that’s a tragedy.
What are your thoughts on this build? What did I get wrong? How can one improve it (within the constraints listed)? Let me know.

2023.04.02 05:49 Fickle-Nectarine-155 Do funerals have to be expensive?

I keep hearing about people apparently needing to raise a ton of money for funerals which makes me wonder if even doing the absolute bare minimum is super expensive. I've wondered about this ever since I saw a commercial years ago where there was a family saying they "only" got $600 toward a funeral and thought, "Well, that should be plenty if you just keep things simple".
I'd guess the costs people might be talking about, assuming people don't go over the top with some fancy venue, would come from doing all of your standard things with the body like keeping it cold, burning it, and/or dressing it up for the casket depending on what people in each situation want to do with it. Otherwise, I can't help but wonder if some people are trying to plan a function that is outside of their means and should scale back to a less extravagant event.
Do you think there is significant overlap between the people who do wildly expensive funerals and those who do elaborate weddings that could have been a lot cheaper?

2023.04.02 05:21 CMizShari-FooLover Should I lessen my standards?

I teach mostly freshman level communication courses at a University ad well as a CC. I've noticed that no matter how much I explain, provide examples, show them the rubic, offer to preread, and discuss the assignments, students are still not giving me what is needed, like the basic minimum number of citations, answering the questions correctly, and other issues. When I grade, the scores are very low as I assign grades based on what they give me from specific instructions.
I'm starting to feel like I'm too tough and should lower my standards. I'm known as a hard grader and I honestly have no issue with that. I'm just concerned that it would be rewarding subpar performance and continue a trend of acceptance of poor work.
Any advice or insight? I'm dreading grading as it's never good and I'm getting more and more jaded to the whole process. Thanks!

2023.04.02 03:26 lemu96 New, Higher Level Career Opportunity… Do I Take It?

My current role is like an entry/mid-level role with pretty decent flexibility. I travel around the state most days of the week but if my daughter is ill, I can easily reschedule client appointments and don’t get much flack from my team. There isn’t health insurance because it’s a smaller company, but we do get a monthly $100 stipend and we use my husband’s employer’s insurance anyway. It’s a pretty easy job, but I’m definitely someone that enjoys being challenged. I’ve run into being a few hours away from home and getting the dreaded “sick kid call” and have had to figure that out on the fly.
A new career opportunity presented itself as an associate director at local university in a department that directly correlates to my working experience. It’s literally 10 minutes from my house. The pay is about $20k more, the benefits are outstanding as it’s technically a state position, and there is childcare on campus but I’m not sure if there’s even an opening for a while yet (we have a great daycare close to home so this isn’t major to me). Not to mention, my daughter would get free college someday! This is a typical M-F, standard hours role but “may require occasional overtime.”
I’m curious what you’d all do - stick with the easy, boring, fairly flexible job or go after the faster paced, probably more stressful job with great benefits? My main fear is not having as much support when LO is sick, but my husband and our parents are happy to help too.
I definitely lean towards the new one with all of the benefits for my family, but do worry about potentially not being quite as present for my daughter.
Thanks, moms!!

2023.04.02 02:27 Okayama88 Tough decision between two universities

Hi Everyone!
I'm currently a senior in high school, and I am at that time in my life when I have to make the tough decision of choosing which university to attend. (Btw I love this subreddit and its incredibly supportive community. I genuinely am looking for input and insights which will help me make a more conclusive decision.) I'm currently deciding between the University of Alabama Birmingham and the University of Pittsburgh. I would like to preface beforehand that my dream is to become a CRNA.
The University of Alabama Birmingham is offering me guaranteed admission into their BSN program. I will pay just over $1.2k a year in tuition for the first two years and $17k a year for the last two years. With indirect (transportation, insurance, books) and direct expenses (tuition, housing, meal plan) added together, I believe my total COA (cost of attendance) for my BSN will be just over $100k. The CRNA program cost is just under $150k.
The University of Pittsburgh is offering me admission into their BSN program as well as (unlike the University of Alabama Birmingham) guaranteed admission into their DNP Nurse Anesthesia program as long as I complete the minimum requirements. I would like to note that they would set me up with a job in the ICU for one year and then have me go back to school. However, tuition for all 4 years there is just over $33k a year. With indirect (transportation, insurance, books) and direct expenses (tuition, housing, meal plan) added together, I believe my total COA for my BSN will be just under $200k. The CRNA program cost is just over $100k.

I have spent the past couple of days researching and reaching out to faculty on all the specifics and this is as precise as I could get it. I will have to take out loans for both, but I am willing to do that. Additionally, I visited both schools and they were both awesome and felt incredibly supportive! Any advice, personal experiences, or insight would be amazing. Thank you so much!

Note: The COA (cost of attendance) numbers are rather high because I included everything in there including transportation, miscellaneous expenses like Starbucks, health insurance, car insurance, etc. I'm also out-of-state for both schools. I'm fairly certain that I will not meet the COA number but they are there for a worst-case scenario.

THE GLOBAL SOUTH REFUSES ANY LONGER TO BE BULLIED BY THE COLLECTIVE WEST

https://preview.redd.it/pisugjp46dra1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6de0b5b684d2e682f705275e1d7b09953f83846f
The authorities in both Russia and China are making it perfectly clear that they want nothing to do with the culture wars raging in the West, particularly those occurring in the USA.
Like it or not they are making a stand against what they see as a narcissistic, navel-gazing, rabidly self-interested, and entitlement-infused amorality masquerading as ‘human rights’.
Their way is the way of long-held traditions that have stood the test of time and bear a minimum of potential for endless division as one sector of society continually fights another. The tried and tested principles of the past are their choice, not the headlong flight into headlong chaos they see the West descending into.
In America there’s a phrase that has become well known in recent years, “My country right or wrong”. The same stance can be applied to the approaches in both Russia and China now. For them, unity is of paramount importance and the atomization of their societies in culture wars is abhorrent. They have both been through that with hugely tragic consequences and have no intention of returning to those days when certain dogmas were forced on people and entire lives could be cancelled at a stroke.
Of course, there will be those who are aghast that the freedoms of the West could be criticised in this way, aren’t we all to be able to let our freak flags fly and do exactly as we please within the law? But this flies in the face of the realities faced by nations who do not have anything like the privileges of wealth boasted of in the USA and those who are ambitious to be just like them. In those nations, relatively much poorer these are simply examples of excess and selfishness, of societies of empire, reaching a similar stage as that of Rome just as it fell.
Which way forward will we take as a species? Toward a complete anarchy of infinite diversity? Or on a more solid path where predictability and unity are emphasised above all else? On the former path, a constant updating of the rules will be required in each human mind. Do’s and don’ts will become minefields needing new maps on an almost daily basis. Many will find their minds swirling with confusion as they are castigated for using an inappropriate pronoun or turn of phrase or even for an action such as opening a door or clapping too loudly. The thought police will appear to be everywhere waiting to pounce, punish and regulate behaviour.
In the traditional societies where a lesser degree of ‘anything goes’ freedom exists predictability is far higher than in the ‘human rights are all’ West and or good reason. Access to relatively freely available income is also traditionally less. Absolute human rights have not been affordable as predictable behaviour and hard work, raising families, and solidarity to get through hard times together have been extremely valuable, indeed necessary, attributes. The affluent West has been able to exploit much in the so-called developing nations and use those resources as a springboard (along with their own natural assets) to future undreamed of by most of the rest of the world.
When everyone wants their own way no one gets their way. As we see now in western nations, affluence breeds a certain aggression where the fight to assert one’s own rights rather than looking for a communal solution emphasising unity as human beings, creates a social war at its extremes. Methods become increasingly divisive where those opposing or seeming to oppose such individuals are almost depicted as war criminals, as racists, fascists, and a great number of other terms denoting cancellation.
For those like me who were inspired by the enthusiasm for change in the West during the Sixties where there was an impatience to be rid of the stultifying norms of previous eras the about-face to once again embrace the traditional outlooks of parents and grandparents might feel quite disconcerting. There was also a surge toward socialism and other changes of system that were looked upon as radical at the time. Free love, the use of recreational drugs was much more attractive, and an aversion to the normal - find a job - work 9 to 5 - settle down - start a family and live as your parents did, was virtually anathema.
Those days of the Sixties are long gone. The surge of freedom-loving anarchism and relatively innocent experimentation hardly survived into the Seventies. The relative innocence and simplicity of just a few years before vanished like morning mist in the full glare of midday. Only a very few found a way to maintain themselves in anything like an ‘alternative lifestyle’. Most rejoined the more or less normal like of the majority sooner or later and mostly sooner rather than later.
Traditional forms of life tend to be the archetypal form whose shape we tend to migrate toward unless we find some kind of niche in the rarified stratosphere of eccentric living within the arts, crafts, therapy, or religious life.
For most of us, the more or less standard life structure, as usually visualised, will likely suit us best. We are none too concerned if those on the fringes act as they wish as long as they don’t impact society and the life of the majority in too extreme a way. But just this is beginning to occur in the West, particularly so in the USA. The fringes are demanding to be mainstream and some within the mainstream elites appear to believe their rights ought to be raised above those of the majority who remain within a generally traditional lifestream. This is precisely what the Russian and Chinese authorities do not want and will not tolerate.
A kaleidoscope of emotional choices where outcomes are of questionable benefit but may sadly lead to a cul-de-sac of unhappy chaos where society becomes riven by internal discord and social atomization makes for a very unhappy existence, potentially for all.
Youthful folly is a known phenomenon. We normally grow out of such follies, taken on when we feel immortal and resistant to all that may hurt us. Societies that never outgrow the follies it takes on, but remain searching for eternal youth will likely stay in the kindergarten stage of interminable and extremely shallow-minded chaos where maturity never arrives. The big question is, can such societies ever return to the stable foundations that once were the norm and which allowed for unimpeded growth?
Eurasian nations are determined never to have to find out whether such levels of chaos can be reversed. They have seen how much pain is involved in such a process. They have decided to retain the tried and tested ways of life they know bring important unity of purpose, predictability, and stability to life. Thus they aim to guarantee that such debilitating anarchy as seen currently growing in the West has no fertile ground to undermine their own nations.
In addition to all of the above these nations, long threatened by the dominance of western interests have sought some way to escape from an intolerable situation where their every move was scrutinised from afar with a view to taking action against them. The threats applied to any nation deviating from western needs were very real and have been realised often. War, death and destruction and the terminal fragmenting of societies and cultures have taken place at the hands of the aggressively self-interested hands of the western powers.
This is why we now see so very many nations of the Global South turning away from the West. Now a choice is open to them where in the past there were few to none but bow to the almighty USA and its proxies. Now that China is fully awake to its potential to change the way the world works along with Russia in a PEACEFUL and TOLERANT way, they are moving in their direction with alacrity.
This epoch-making time will shape all times to come. We stand on the threshold of a new age for our planet, one where agreement takes the place of aggression, peace over posturing, willingness to talk and understand over war. Cooperation, communication and tolerance for diverse peoples, cultures, modes of governance, religion and viewpoints where trade and investment create the world all idealists hoped for.
Welcome to our future.
Welcome to the Multipolar World.

2023.04.02 00:01 ScubaJho Tavor TS12 feeding issues.

I picked up a TS12 recently and am only about 140 rounds into it. In that time I've found Winchester red/white box won't cycle it at all and that the cheap Federal birdshot stovepipes almost without fail, but I half expected that, as those loads are borderline for the minimum loadings for this shotgun. Maybe they'll run after the break-in period, but, if not, there are other options. Remington game loads and express birdshot run it just fine, as have all the various slugs and buckshot I've tried.
What is bothering me more is an altogether different feeding issue: if loading a single shell from a magazine tube on an open bolt, it is very unreliable as to whether it will auto-chamber the round when the magazine is rotated. It will get the round on the lift gate, but require the mag tube to be wiggled back and forth for the round to finally chamber or I have to hit the bolt release. I am making sure to release the magazine release prior to the mag tubes rotating into place, so I don't over-rotate. With 2 or more shells in the tube, it loads just fine, and it loads fine when mag-dumping from full 15+2. For some reason, locking the bolt back, loading a single round, then rotating the magazine will not reliably chamber that first round. I didn't test this on my first session to the range beyond standard loading, but had no issues. Since then, I have given the gun a good cleaning and reassembled it. Idk what I would have messed up in doing that, however. Every now and then (maybe 1 in 5 attempts) it will work. My initial guess would be that the springs are just barely strong enough to get a single eound chambered, but if that's the case, it's all 3 mag springs.
Is there anything I could have reassembled incorrectly that would have caused this issue? I took it down to pulling the pins to clean the trigger group/lift gate, but put it back as I found it, afaik. I didn't really test the single-shot scenario prior to cleaning, so I can't say if it wasn't present before. It loads the last round from a fully loaded tube just fine, so it has me stumped, unless it's an intended behavior that is inconsistent.

2023.04.01 21:56 mwalimu59 CPR class (and Are dated stories allowed here?)

Are workplace stories from years past allowed here? I can think of several from a previous employer (not my most recent) mostly that happened in the 1990s.
As an example, there was the time I took a CPR class offered at work. This employer was usually pretty tight about offering any sort of training classes to employees, but in order to meet the company's workplace health and safety standards, they needed a minimum number of employees to be trained in CPR. They hired a certified instructor and invited interested employees to sign up and take the class, which I did.
One reason I had signed up was in case an emergency arose at home where I had small children. Early in the class I asked a question relating to administering aid to a child. The instructor alluded to the fact that she hadn't brought the child CPR props but answered the question. A few minutes later another attendee asked a child-related question. Evidently I wasn't the only one who had been thinking about family members when signing up for the course. Soon after another came another "what if it's a child?" question. At that point, the instructor cut us off, explaining that our employer had only hired her to teach adult CPR and that it would take up too much time if we continued asking about child CPR. Those of us who had been asking the child questions just looked at each other and shrugged.
In a later conversation with our management about the class, the point was raised that some of us had signed for the CPR class in part to be able to render aid to our families if necessary. They doubled down on their having offered the course only for company objectives, and if employees wanted to know more they were on their own.

2023.04.01 21:06 No-Cupcake-0919 How much family income is enough to raise a child? Stress out a little about money.

TLTR: My husband will have to provide for me, my Mom and our baby.
I am 33 weeks pregnant and I just quit my job, so my husband will be the main provider. I am a little stressed about money. Several reasons I have to quit: 1. I am finishing school 2. I will have to do unpaid internship/rotation when my baby turns 3 months. My husband will have to pay for me, our baby and my Mom. My Mom quits her job so she can fly out of state to help for 6 months while I go and do my internship. It’s cheaper for my Mom to help us then daycare since she makes minimum wage.

2023.04.01 20:38 Sundance_Kidd17 Poly Edge E Series Phones?

Does anyone in the community have thoughts, opinions, and real-world experiences with the Poly Edge E series phones? I have found no real reviews or comparisons on it versus other products in the VoIP space.
I, like many others, provide and install Yealink T5 series phones for my customers. The T54W phone is the minimum standard business phone that I put in at a customer's business. After much research online and reading debates people in the industry have had, I settled on using Yealink and the T5 series based on its price to performance and being an overall solid phone. While in comparison the Poly VVX 250, 350, and 450 phones might have better audio quality and overall better phone build quality compared to the Yealink T5 series phones. The general consensus that I have found was the slightly better quality of those VVX phones was not worth the extra price you would pay for them over the Yealink T5 series phones.
My question is, now with the new Edge E series phones from Poly, is the extra price for admission worth it? How do they compare to the VVX series and Yealink T5 series phones? They are more costly than either of the other two. But, I want to know if they are truly worth the extra money overall. Better build, better audio, better features, reliability, management, installation, etc.
I'm not opposed to spending a bit more, to make sure my customers have the best product and experience that I can offer within reason. I just want to make sure it's actually worth it for me to do so. The T5 series phones have been great and rock solid for me. I just want to know I'm not potentially leaving something on the table that's worth the "upgrade" and additional costs.
If anyone has experience using them in larger deployments or switched to putting them in at customers, I'd love to hear your experiences with them. Especially if you can compare them to the T5 series phones.
Additionally, if it comes down to them actually being worth looking at and potentially switching to. Where do you get your Poly equipment from? I currently use 888VoIP for my Yealink stuff. If anyone could suggest the best VAR or authorized distributor of Poly at the best rates then that would be appreciated as well.

2023.04.01 20:08 BBJackie Must Read !Israel Today: Four questions about the opponents of judicial reform

Israel Today-IBN Today: Four questions about the opponents of judicial reform
https://israelbehindthenews.com/2023/03/30/four-questions-about-the-opponents-of-judicial-reform/
There is no reason to impugn the integrity of the vast majority of those who demonstrated against reforms to the Israeli Supreme Court.
At the same time, most people do not know that there are four issues on which Supreme Court reform would have a very positive impact, and certain interested parties do not want that to happen.
The Palestinian Authority and its allies in Israel
The Israeli Supreme Court has issued a series of inappropriate rulings over the last 30 years that approved Israeli government agreements with the Palestine Liberation Organization. It did so even though the PLO’s ruling party Fatah never ratified the Oslo Accords’ core document—the Declaration of Principles.
The Court even ruled that Israel should be allowed to supply weapons and military training to the Palestinian Authority’s security forces, as they could be relied upon to protect the lives of Jews. The Court would not accept the premise that the P.A. remains at war with the Jews and Israel.
Supreme Court reform could upset the Israel government’s courtship of the P.A. and the PLO and reverse blind Israeli support for the P.A. as a “peace partner.”
Families whose loved ones were murdered, only to witness the release of their killers
During what was described as peace negotiations with the PLO, the Supreme Court allowed as many as 9,000 convicted Arab felons to walk the streets, on condition that they sign a statement that they supported peace.
These felons included convicted murderers released in exchange for Israeli POW Gilad Shalit. Some 40% of these felons have returned to terror.
Supreme Court reform could introduce normative standards of release, which would require an evaluation of each case on the basis of recidivism—the probability that the released felon might repeat his crime.
Israeli contractors who import migrant workers
Over the past decade, the Supreme Court has turned a blind eye to Israel contractors who have imported as many as a quarter-million migrant workers to perform menial labor.
These contractors, working with the Israel Hotel Association and other employers ready to hire workers for below the minimum wage and without social benefits or medical care, hire PR professionals to tell the public that these migrant workers are innocuous asylum seekers.
Migrant workers have run rampant and ransacked neighborhoods in south Tel Aviv, yet the Supreme Court prefers to believe that they are innocent asylum seekers with nowhere else to go.
Supreme Court reform would be a nightmare for these unscrupulous contractors.
The Israeli high-tech industry illegally importing workers
Israel’s booming high-tech industry now recruits workers from abroad, ignoring local high-tech professionals who are seeking employment.
Many of these high-tech companies do not allow their imported workers a day of rest or apply for work visas on their behalf, both of which are mandated by Israeli labor law. The Supreme Court regularly turns a blind eye to these abuses.
Supreme Court reform could hold these companies to account and prevent the further importation of foreign high-tech workers.
On the seder night next week, four questions should be asked about four issues and why some of the parties involved are such strong opponents of judicial reform.
