2023.05.29 23:27 ExaminationSmooth390 Homebrew Artificer Subclass
Mostly just for fun and practice, I have been working on a homebrewed artificer subclass for an automaton character (I'll post the race stats I'm working on in a comment, for those interested). I have been trying to keep it flexible, fun, and thematically satisfying without being overpowered or overshadowing other players. I am of the opinion that you win DnD when everyone involved is having a lot of fun, and that fun is most had when everything is well-balanced and everyone can do cool things and shares the spotlight. I am fully aware that everything is ultimately up to the DM I play with and that party balance is also an important factor. I have done my best to compare this to preexisting subclasses, spells, and features to keep this balanced, but I'd love outside input. As I said this is mostly a fun experiment that I don't really expect to ever get to play, but I enjoy the creative process.
Thanks for taking the time to offer opinions if you decide to do so. And feel free to use any part of this as inspiration for your own homebrewed stuff. Happy adventuring!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artificial Artificer
Expanded Spells (Similar to Battlesmith)
3rd Level Feature
Choose 2 extra cantrips from the Artificer spell list. Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Artificial Artificer Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
Tool Proficiency (Similar to Battlesmith)
3rd Level Feature
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in one type of artisan's tools of your choice.
Create Familiar (Improved and reskinned version of Find Familiar)
3rd Level Feature
Crafting Time: 1 hour
Tools: Artisan’s, Smith’s, or Tinker’s tools
Components: S M (20 gp worth of a strong material such as metal or wood, glass, and precious gems)
3rd Level Feature
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to integrate your artificial body with offensive capabilities. You can integrate up to two simple or martial weapons into your body, one on each arm. While integrated, you are proficient with these weapons. When you attack with your integrated weapons, you use your Intelligence modifier instead of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls.
These integrated weapons can be drawn or stowed as part of the same action you use to attack with them. If an integrated weapon is separated from your body, it becomes unusable unless you spend time and material resources reconstructing it.
Artificial Arcanum (Intent here is to provide options for a weaker version of Arcane Recovery or to choose one of two unique abilities. Not sure how much the flexibility might make this overpowered)
5th Level Feature
At 5th level, you have developed an internal magical energy storage system. Once per long rest, you can utilize this stored energy in one of the following ways:
Option 1: Spellcraft Charge
The advanced energy storage mechanisms within your automaton body allow you to store a reservoir of spellcasting power. You can store a number of spell levels equal to your proficiency bonus. Whenever you cast a spell, you can choose to expend stored spell levels instead of using your own spell slots. This feature provides you with an alternative means of casting spells, conserving your own magical resources.
Option 2: Ethereal Circuitry
Your energy storage system can be expended to alter the magiphysical vibrations of your physical form, allowing it to phase through solid objects. By expending your available energy storage, you can activate your ethereal circuitry. For the duration of this activation, you gain the ability to move through up to 5 feet of solid material, as if it were insubstantial. Alternatively, if an enemy successfully hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to activate your ethereal circuitry, causing that hit to miss. This ability extends to subsequent attacks made by the same enemy on their turn.
Option 3: Momentum Burst
Harnessing the stored kinetic energy within your automaton body, you can unleash a powerful burst of speed and agility. Once per day, as a bonus action, you can activate your Momentum Burst. This grants you the ability to move up to 8 times your movement speed for the current turn. Additionally, your next attack roll made on the same turn has advantage, benefiting from the momentum and precision of your swift movement. However, if that attack misses, the next enemy to attack you before your next turn gains advantage on their attack roll, capitalizing on the momentary vulnerability caused by your aggressive maneuvering.
Enhanced Familiar (This level seems a common time to improve previously acquired class features)
9th Level Feature
At 9th level, your mastery over the art of artifice extends to the enhancement of your familiar, allowing it to excel in various aspects. When you craft your familiar, you can choose one of the following options: Combined Utility, Enhanced Offense, or Enhanced Defense. Crafting a familiar in this way requires 50GP worth of the relevant material components, rather than 20)
Combined Utility:
With this option, you can combine the non-combat capabilities of two creatures into one familiar, creating a versatile and adaptable companion. By melding the essence of these creatures together, your familiar gains a range of utility features and abilities. For example, you can combine the bat and octopus to create a mechanical familiar that can fly, has blindsight, and can swim and breathe underwater. The familiar crafted through this option utilizes the higher ability scores and skill values between the two creatures, providing a powerful tool for exploration and problem-solving.
Enhanced Offense:
If you choose the Enhanced Offense option, your familiar gains a potent attack ability to aid you in combat. It gains the Miniature Fireball attack, which deals 2d8 fire damage in a 5-foot radius, requiring a Dexterity saving throw for half damage. The number of uses of this ability is limited to your proficiency bonus, uses are regained during a long rest. You can also use your bonus action to command the familiar to self-destruct, causing 3d8 fire damage to anyone within a 30-foot radius. You must have at least one use remaining and using this effect drops your Familiar’s Hit Points to 0.
Enhanced Defense:
With the Enhanced Defense option, you bolster your familiar's resilience and endurance. Your familiar gains additional hit points equal to your spellcaster level, making it more durable in combat. Furthermore, it gains the Relentless Endurance feature, allowing it to endure the most devastating blows. When reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, your familiar can drop to 1 hit point instead. This ability can only be used once and is regained after a long rest.
Artifice Mastery (Again made this one up from scratch, but tried to keep it balanced with other 15th level features)
15th Level Feature
At 15th level, your mastery over magical manipulation reaches new heights. You gain the following benefits:
Masterful Construction: When you create a construct using your Create Familiar feature, you can craft your familiar with two of the three options specified in the Enhanced Familiar feature. Crafting a familiar in this way requires 100GP worth of the relevant material components, rather than 20. Your familiar’s blocking reaction also has an increased range of 10ft.
Nullification Shield: Once per long rest, you can use your reaction to erect an arcane shield to absorb damage from an attack that makes a successful hit against you. This shield absorbs up to 5d10 points of damage before dissipating, any remaining non-physical damage is taken by you as normal. You can also cast this through your familiar if it is used to block an attack: doing this uses both of your reactions.

|---|---|
| 3rd | Identify, Shield |
| 5th | Knock, Misty Step |
| 9th | Counterspell, Fireball |
| 13th | Greater Invisibility, Wall of Fire |
| 17th | Telekinesis, Teleportation Circle |
Tool Proficiency (Similar to Battlesmith)
3rd Level Feature
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in one type of artisan's tools of your choice.
Create Familiar (Improved and reskinned version of Find Familiar)
3rd Level Feature
Crafting Time: 1 hour
Tools: Artisan’s, Smith’s, or Tinker’s tools
Components: S M (20 gp worth of a strong material such as metal or wood, glass, and precious gems)
- Once per long rest, you craft a tiny familiar that takes on any form you choose; it uses the statistics of any of the following creatures: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel, though it is a construct instead of a beast.
- Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it shares your initiative and acts during your turn. It can attack on its own or perform any other action in its stat block.
- If your familiar is within 60 ft of you, you can cast spells (cantrips or 1st level, requiring an action or bonus action) through it. This counts as a combined action and takes the action or bonus action of both of your turns. You cannot cast spells through it as part of your reaction, but it can take its own reactions, if available. If your familiar is within 5 feet of an ally, your familiar can use its reaction to block a successful attack roll against that ally, taking all of the attack’s damage.
- While your familiar is within 200 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar’s eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.
- When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it leaves behind a pile of unusable debris. Your familiar is resistant to healing spells and potions. The mending cantrip can be used to heal your familiar 1d4 + your spellcasting modifier. When not in use, your familiar can be stored in a compartment on your body. Your familiar will regain full HP when stored this way during a long rest.
- You can’t have more than one familiar at a time. If your familiar has at least one hit point, you may reconfigure it into a new form without extra material components.
3rd Level Feature
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to integrate your artificial body with offensive capabilities. You can integrate up to two simple or martial weapons into your body, one on each arm. While integrated, you are proficient with these weapons. When you attack with your integrated weapons, you use your Intelligence modifier instead of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls.
These integrated weapons can be drawn or stowed as part of the same action you use to attack with them. If an integrated weapon is separated from your body, it becomes unusable unless you spend time and material resources reconstructing it.

2023.05.29 23:27 AdaBetterThanIota Memorial Day Weekend Watchlist: Reversals and Momentum Set Ups
 | I hope everyone had a great and relaxing weekend, but it is time to get back to making plays! I have two stock sets ups; one is a sweet reversal, and the other looks to continue its strong momentum in the shortened trading week. If you trade these types of setups, take a look. And remember that the only way to make gains is to take profits :) submitted by AdaBetterThanIota to pennystocks [link] [comments] First up, we have the reversal set up, ticker $LPTV. After two harsh weeks, it bounced off the $3 support. Things should turn around in June for $LPTV since this stock is set to join Russell 2000, Russell 3000, and Russell Microcap Indexes next month. With more people able to buy, $4 $LPTV is not out of the question. Make sure to at least add this to your watchlist and track the volume as it gears to create the reversal. https://preview.redd.it/zmqsrco5pv2b1.jpg?width=2272&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18084bc0118df8300ad873046d00484ab267c638 Next up we have $ONFO. This stock absolutely blasted on Friday, ending the week very strong. this is another AI integration stock so proceed with caution. With this bullish move and if it keeps it's high volume, this stock with out a doubt can get to the two dollar range. Early Tuesday morning will determine the direction of the stock for the rest of the week so make sure you monitor it before entering. https://preview.redd.it/xvcq2mu3pv2b1.png?width=2276&format=png&auto=webp&s=83d25a27313cad0ac2ffcb54f751ddc05a7be642 With the debt ceiling increasing, the stock market can get bullish real quick so be ready!

2023.05.29 23:27 ApprehensiveCap6525 Exchange Program Shenanigans (2)
Credit to u/SpacePaladin15
Somebody explain how to embed links in text on mobile please
Memory transcription subject: Salvek, Human-Venlil Exchange Program Candidate
Date [standardized human time]: September 3, 2136
I hate banks. Or, more specifically, I hate the United Banking Service. I've never really used another bank, on account of my mother signing me up for a twenty-five year family plan for a cash bonus that never came (it was twenty-five thousand credits, I can't really blame her) but that just makes me hate this one more.
The fat, lazy Gojid on the other side of the bulletproof glass teller window tapped away at his keyboard in order to process my application for a loan. Above him I saw the UBS logo and motto: "Speed, Security, Success." All a load of vyalpic if you ask me. (I will die of old age before this loan ever comes through)
"Sooooo....." Thank the Herd, he was finally talking. I was worried his fat ass had a heart attack and died with how little moving he did. "Your credit score issss....." Oh Protector, just spit it out already! Now I get why predators have such violent impulses. (What if I can't control mine? What if we're worse than them?)
Brahk my intrusive thoughts. How does Jack control his so well? I resolved to ask him when my loan got processed, assuming neither of us starved to death in the meantime. (Speed, security, and success this dick)
"Seven hundred and ninety." Oh, thank Inatala. (Inatala hates predators, can I still say that with one as my best friend?) Venlil credit scores go from zero, being applied to people who took out million-credit loans and blew all the money on gear to unsuccessfully rob the bank they got the loan from, to one thousand, which went to those who panicked over a two credit overdrawn balance and had a heart attack whenever they were a week away from a loan's due date and it still wasn't paid.
Seven hundred and ninety was above average, since my parents had always taught me to manage my finances well, but only slightly above average since Jack's presence and the constant racism that came with it were more trouble than the government stipend was worth. (I would never send him back home, he's better to me than many Venlil)
I thanked the Gojid with sincerity that I meant none of, and asked "Is my loan approved?"
He told me "Yes, it's been approved at..." Oh Herd, not this again. How do his coworkers interact with him? "5% quarterly interest." That's not even bad. (Five percent might be a robbery, but for UBS banks it's decent) "You'll have six months to pay it off in full... or the interest will double every quarter." (Somebody should disband the United Banking Service)
I agreed to these terms, since they were the best I was going to get, and left without another word. Eight thousand Federation credits had just entered my bank account, making me a very rich man. (Not really, but it was the most I'd ever had)
Jack was sitting on a bench outside the UBS building tapping away on his pad. A more skittish Venlil would have assumed that he was plotting something or bathing in the virtual blood of his prey, but I knew better than to assume the game he was playing was predatory.
Never mind, it was absolutely predatory. An army of huge winged beasts descended on what looked like a walled fortress in the middle of a hellish landscape, and lightning rained down from the skies at Jack's command to pick apart what I assumed were strategic defenses. (He might not actively do predator things, but he is excellent at them)
Within thirty ticks of the timer at the top of the screen, the beasts were above the fortress raining destruction on whatever they pleased. A few soldiers ran out of a building near the center of the base, attacking Jack's army, but they were quickly dealt with. Without the defenses that were destroyed by what I assumed was orbital bombardment, the base was helpless against the conquering predator.
A chill ran down my spine as I saw the defenders being slaughtered. A Venlil general or admiral (there were actually surprisingly many when compared to the rest of our military) could accomplish such results but those types of Venlil were very few and often had mild cases of Predator Disease. (That needs a new name. Maybe Arxur disease? No, too scary)
Seeing an average human, whose only military experience was four years serving on a war boat (They still have a boat military? Herd, those predators love their weapons) complete what many Federation officers would struggle to do terrified me for good reason.
We Venlil had treated Humans like they weren't even sapient, just dirt or pests that we had to tolerate. And the rest of the Federation treated them even worse. What if they decided peace wasn't worth it? What if, in our fear of the Arxur, we unleashed a threat worse than them? (Could Jack spare me from a human cattle farm? I'd have to kill myself if he couldn't)
Venlil Prime would be the first world to fall. We'd all die of our own hubris.
"Hell!" Jack turned his pad down so I couldn't look over his shoulder anymore. "I'm sorry you had to see that." Why did he have to be sorry for everything? The way my species, my Federation, treated him and his kind always angered me.
I told him "Don't be sorry. It's not your fault your hobbies are so... you know." I didn't like using the word "predator". At least, not to describe humans. Jack was cool with me using it as long as it wasn't in a derogatory way, (since they are predators) but it just reminded me of how unjustly he and his kind were treated.
Jack clearly didn't listen when I said not to be sorry because he kept apologizing. "Yeah, but it's not your fault you're so damn skittish either. And it is my fault I played Clash... I mean the game here. I should've known better." Herd, why did he never stand up for himself? The exterminators can't be that bad!
I explained to him "You don't have to apologize, Jack. You never meant to scare anyone." and before he could keep apologizing (I know him too well to think he wouldn't) I changed the subject. "We have money at our disposal now, we can buy something from the Mellow Firefruit on our way to the train station."
Jack agreed, but he was worried about "spacists". (Oh Herd, has he lost it?) I asked "What in the Arbor is a spacist?" In case you don't know, the Arbor is where followers of the Great Protector go when they die. It's a huge forest with plentiful and delicious food, and no predators.
When I finally mustered up my courage and told Jack that the god I worship hates his kind, I was half expecting to die horribly by his unusually short claws or extremely dull fangs. (Are they so peaceful because of their lack of natural weapons, or do they lack natural weapons because they're so peaceful? I should ask Jack that)
Instead, he shrugged it off and told me that, apparently, "Jesus still solos." When I explained the Arbor at his request, he had the brilliant idea to convert to worshiping the Protector and then kill himself in order to appear there and scare the afterlife out of everyone else. He quickly and profusely explained that he would never actually do that, but Inatala would never have accepted him anyway so it didn't matter.
Anyway, back to real life. Jack told me "Oh, spacists? They're just space racists except I mushed the two words together. It's a play on words type thing." The words 'space' and 'racists' do not fit together in Venlilese, and frankly, I was astounded that the translator even gave me the concept. (I bought it second-hand from a Mazic who stepped on it one too many times, but it was incredibly cheap)
I told him "If you told anyone but me that the words 'space' and 'racists' fit together then you would be screened for Predator Disease." and he covered his mouth in the gesture that was universally recognized as a prey-safe predator's laugh.
"God, sometimes I forget you guys have a sense of humor."
Just then, I started walking. I was tired, like any Venlil would be after a long walk, a long wait in line and the anticipation of another long walk, but the thought of the sweet, delicious food at the Mellow Firefruit kept me going. (I have to get Jack some, he's been underrating Venlil cuisine ever since he first tried my subpar cooking)
Jack fell in behind me, then he moved up to be at my side as an equal. Us Venlil didn't care where you were in line, but I guess predators have different priorities. (Is thinking 'predator' as bad as saying it? That's a dilemma I need to deal with later) I asked him "How come your claws and... uh... those pointy front teeth are so small?" (I don't like talking about fangs, sue me)
Jack turned to look at me, jerked his head away a little, then he turned and looked at me again. He responded to my question, realized I was a Venlil, and realized I was Salvek, in that order. I was good at reading people. He told me "First of all, they're called nails and canines. And second of all, we've never needed claws so they never evolved." A predator never needing claws was absurd! When would Jack learn that he didn't have to lie to me?
I interrupted my friend's explanation by telling him "Jack, I'm not going to run away or faint just because you tell me that ancient humans hunted. I get it. Just tell me how you lost your claws."
Jack sighed. He didn't sigh a lot, only when he was driven to the end of his very long rope (Turns out that's a human idiom too! Who knew?) by someone else's, usually my, stupidity. "Salvek, we didn't lose them. We evolved to eat fruit from trees, and by the time we were eating meat we had at least developed the art of throwing rocks at things. There was never any need for them, and they never appeared as a result. Satisfied?"
Developing weapons early on did make sense for humans, given how good they are at combat, so I nodded. It wasn't really a Venlil expression, but those in the exchange program had learned everything they could about their human partners. (I'm saying human instead of predator! Progress!) "Yeah, that makes sense."
Jack continued, explaining about human 'canines'. We just called them fangs. "Canines were originally fangs, yeah," He lowered his voice when he mentioned fangs. "but when we made fire around a million years ago, we didn't need them anymore and so they got smaller. I'm no expert, but that's what I know."
That actually made sense. I knew the Arxur didn't eat cooked meat, since I found uncensored raid footage on an internet rabbit hole when I was fourteen, (I peed myself and had nightmares for weeks but no one has to know) but I always assumed humans shared that trait. Maybe I was just like the rest with how I kept comparing humans and Arxur. (Why am I capitalizing one and not the other? No one knows!)
Maybe I was just like the rest. Maybe one day I would lose control and run from Jack, or freeze up, or worse, call the exterminators, and then it would all be over. I could never live with myself if my damned instincts got him to hate me or got him killed. I've only known him for a few weeks, but when we met we just clicked.
It's still weird to me how the concept of platonic soul mates doesn't exist yet.
"That's it, right?" Jack asked while pointing to a red restaurant a few blocks away. That was it. I was about to eat good.
"Yeah, that's it. Come on, let's go!" I ran to the Mellow Firefruit faster than most humans could, on account of my species being designed for sprints, (or we're just better than them) and Jack tagged along in a brisk walk. He was probably trying not to be mistaken for chasing me and shot dead, or worse, set on fire.
I know most predators don't feel pain, but humans do. Why in the Herd didn't exterminators at least have the decency to kill them humanely?
A couple seconds later, Jack was waiting outside the restaurant and looking at his pad while I waited in line (In case nobody noticed yet, I hate lines) for my meal. Jack's meal too, since nobody wanted their entire customer base to leave the second they began serving humans. At least, that was the official reason. The real reason is that most Venlil are still racist.
After an agonizing minute and a half of waiting, since the Mellow Firefruit was a popular restaurant (for good reason, as Jack was about to discover) I finally got to order my food. "I'll have two yaccay salads, and two red fires please." Jack only asked for a salad, but red fires were excellent drinks and if he said no to one I would drink both. I was being smart with this.
"Okay, that will be 43.8 credits." All right, maybe not so smart.
I asked "44 credits?" in shock as my mind struggled to wrap itself around this sudden increase in price. The last time I got a meal here it was only twenty credits.
The cashier, a large green Krakotl who was a tiny bit taller than me, explained "Inflation. Those damn predators brahked up the economy and now we have this." Putting hate on my friend Jack wasn't something I would normally tolerate, but my father had always said it wasn't wise to anger the people who made your food. I just swiped my card across his card reader and stayed silent, like dad would have wanted.
"If you ask me, Sovlin was right."
Was my father really that wise? He probably didn't know what he was talking about.
"How can you say that? No one deserves what he did to Marcel." I shot back, managing to contain the venom in my voice.
The cashier retorted "No one sapient. But those... things that Tarva's dumb ass let roam our planet don't qualify." with barely-contained hatred. (Thank the Herd Jack doesn't have to hear this)
Before I could respond, however, the manager came with my order and reprimanded his subordinate. "Don't get into politics with customers, and certainly don't spit those lies in my establishment!" Maybe the Great Protector was still looking out for me.
The manager handed me my items and apologized profusely. "My cashier here is still new to Venlil Prime. He hasn't gotten used to the... the new arrivals yet. Herd, even I struggle sometimes, and I'm in the exchange program!"
I thanked him, explaining that it wasn't a big deal but the cashier should still be reprimanded, and brought our food to Jack. He wasn't playing that predatory (it was predatory, but predatory didn't necessarily mean bad) game again, but he was scrolling through his account on UHerd.
UHerd was the Venlil's main addition to the galaxy at large, being a huge social media service that Jack had described as "just like Instagram." when he first heard of it. Bleat was another large website just like it, but it was much less known than UHerd. (Fun fact: the U stands for Internet! Maybe not in English, but in Venlilese it does)
Jack never posted much, but he had me and a few mutual friends from the Program followed and he liked hearing what we were doing. I plopped down next to him and handed him his food. "Here, I got you something."
He picked up the salad nonchalantly, but when I handed him his drink, he inspected it curiously. "What in God's name is this doohickey?" He asked.
I told him "Try it, it's a red fire. It's good." and he did try it.
Jack exclaimed "Holy christ!" and the look in his eyes was comparable to what I saw the first time I agreed to being pet. "This is heavenly!" He guzzled the spicy fluid with hunger that would have terrified me if I hadn't seen him devour meals a dozen times before, (He'll eat me next I have to run I have to run run run run for it [oh, shut up already]) stopping only to praise its taste. "This is like the nectar of the gods!" Then "Shit, this is what I was missing out on? We gotta desegregate the restaurants immediately!"
That got him thinking, and I could almost see the money-making gears turning in his head. "You know, Salvek, what if we opened up a restaurant? You could be the official owner and waiter, I could cook some delectable earth recipes, and as long as no one saw me, we could make bank!"
I didn't like that idea. It sounded a lot like a recipe for disaster. I told him "Nah, it would be too hard for just the two of us. And besides, we already have the clothing business." Selling shirts online is a lot easier and cheaper than owning a restaurant.
Since Jack asked me a question, I figured I could ask one too. "Hey Jack, do you mind if I ask you a question?"
Jack didn't care, and he told me as much, so I continued. "How do you keep yourself in check all the time? How can humans control themselves so well?"
He paused for a bit, causing me to involuntarily panic, (he's looking for weak points, or exterminators, he's going to snap my neck for this) but I quelled these thoughts and there was no visible change in my expression. Finally, the colossal man spoke. "How do you do it?"
"W-what?" I stammered, and he picked up a leaf that was blowing in the wind before cherishing his last sip of the red fire.
He held the leaf up to my mouth. "How can you resist the temptation to just chow down on every plant you see? It must be exhausting." I took a brief nibble of the plant, despite it being completely unappetizing in nature, and he told me "See? Your herbivore instincts made you eat it! How can you keep them in check all the time?"
I wasn't a fool, not by any means. I knew he was mocking me. But the thought of a predator not having any predatory instincts was an entirely unheard of concept, bordering on heresy for some. It would probably have gotten me screened for Predator Disease if I spoke of it aloud, but I still spoke of it aloud. (There were no exterminators, I was fine) "So you're trying to say that you don't have predatory instincts? But what about the drive to hunt?"
Jack sighed again, muttering "So smart, but so damn stupid." in a low tone before he explained to me exactly what I wanted to know. "We have the need to eat meat in the same way you need to eat plants, because if we don't do it we die." That made sense. "But just like you don't have a primal urge to devour all the greenery in sight, we don't have any instincts of our own. Make sense?"
It did, but I was still struggling to wrap my head around it, so I just nodded and finished off my salad. Jack had apparently forgot about his salad, as he hadn't touched it. He opened the plastic carton, looked at its contents weirdly, and took a bite.
"This is mid." He told me, point blank. "Like, I don't mean to offend anyone, but it is mid. I'm not even hungry."
I was mildly offended, but there wasn't much I could change about his honest opinion, so I just told him "I thought it was good." and left it at that.
Jack slid his salad over to me (I love these things like my only son) and offered "You can have it. I don't want it." I would have accepted, but I wasn't hungry. Jack didn't really mind, so he threw his salad out and told me "Then we should get going. We have only [1/8 of a claw], I mean... 1/8 of a claw before our train leaves."
I agreed, getting up and walking to the train station, and Jack followed. I was well rested by then, so the brief walk was easy. Jack... Jack was Jack. He never got tired.
We actually made a pretty good pace to the train station, and within 1/16 of a claw we were on our way back to my home district and my third-floor apartment. I had money to my name, I had a huge predator (Human! Damn, those words get mixed up too much) friend, and he and I were about to make a truckload of credits. Life was good.

Memory transcription subject: Salvek, Human-Venlil Exchange Program Candidate
Date [standardized human time]: September 3, 2136
I hate banks. Or, more specifically, I hate the United Banking Service. I've never really used another bank, on account of my mother signing me up for a twenty-five year family plan for a cash bonus that never came (it was twenty-five thousand credits, I can't really blame her) but that just makes me hate this one more.
The fat, lazy Gojid on the other side of the bulletproof glass teller window tapped away at his keyboard in order to process my application for a loan. Above him I saw the UBS logo and motto: "Speed, Security, Success." All a load of vyalpic if you ask me. (I will die of old age before this loan ever comes through)
"Sooooo....." Thank the Herd, he was finally talking. I was worried his fat ass had a heart attack and died with how little moving he did. "Your credit score issss....." Oh Protector, just spit it out already! Now I get why predators have such violent impulses. (What if I can't control mine? What if we're worse than them?)
Brahk my intrusive thoughts. How does Jack control his so well? I resolved to ask him when my loan got processed, assuming neither of us starved to death in the meantime. (Speed, security, and success this dick)
"Seven hundred and ninety." Oh, thank Inatala. (Inatala hates predators, can I still say that with one as my best friend?) Venlil credit scores go from zero, being applied to people who took out million-credit loans and blew all the money on gear to unsuccessfully rob the bank they got the loan from, to one thousand, which went to those who panicked over a two credit overdrawn balance and had a heart attack whenever they were a week away from a loan's due date and it still wasn't paid.
Seven hundred and ninety was above average, since my parents had always taught me to manage my finances well, but only slightly above average since Jack's presence and the constant racism that came with it were more trouble than the government stipend was worth. (I would never send him back home, he's better to me than many Venlil)
I thanked the Gojid with sincerity that I meant none of, and asked "Is my loan approved?"
He told me "Yes, it's been approved at..." Oh Herd, not this again. How do his coworkers interact with him? "5% quarterly interest." That's not even bad. (Five percent might be a robbery, but for UBS banks it's decent) "You'll have six months to pay it off in full... or the interest will double every quarter." (Somebody should disband the United Banking Service)
I agreed to these terms, since they were the best I was going to get, and left without another word. Eight thousand Federation credits had just entered my bank account, making me a very rich man. (Not really, but it was the most I'd ever had)
Jack was sitting on a bench outside the UBS building tapping away on his pad. A more skittish Venlil would have assumed that he was plotting something or bathing in the virtual blood of his prey, but I knew better than to assume the game he was playing was predatory.
Never mind, it was absolutely predatory. An army of huge winged beasts descended on what looked like a walled fortress in the middle of a hellish landscape, and lightning rained down from the skies at Jack's command to pick apart what I assumed were strategic defenses. (He might not actively do predator things, but he is excellent at them)
Within thirty ticks of the timer at the top of the screen, the beasts were above the fortress raining destruction on whatever they pleased. A few soldiers ran out of a building near the center of the base, attacking Jack's army, but they were quickly dealt with. Without the defenses that were destroyed by what I assumed was orbital bombardment, the base was helpless against the conquering predator.
A chill ran down my spine as I saw the defenders being slaughtered. A Venlil general or admiral (there were actually surprisingly many when compared to the rest of our military) could accomplish such results but those types of Venlil were very few and often had mild cases of Predator Disease. (That needs a new name. Maybe Arxur disease? No, too scary)
Seeing an average human, whose only military experience was four years serving on a war boat (They still have a boat military? Herd, those predators love their weapons) complete what many Federation officers would struggle to do terrified me for good reason.
We Venlil had treated Humans like they weren't even sapient, just dirt or pests that we had to tolerate. And the rest of the Federation treated them even worse. What if they decided peace wasn't worth it? What if, in our fear of the Arxur, we unleashed a threat worse than them? (Could Jack spare me from a human cattle farm? I'd have to kill myself if he couldn't)
Venlil Prime would be the first world to fall. We'd all die of our own hubris.
"Hell!" Jack turned his pad down so I couldn't look over his shoulder anymore. "I'm sorry you had to see that." Why did he have to be sorry for everything? The way my species, my Federation, treated him and his kind always angered me.
I told him "Don't be sorry. It's not your fault your hobbies are so... you know." I didn't like using the word "predator". At least, not to describe humans. Jack was cool with me using it as long as it wasn't in a derogatory way, (since they are predators) but it just reminded me of how unjustly he and his kind were treated.
Jack clearly didn't listen when I said not to be sorry because he kept apologizing. "Yeah, but it's not your fault you're so damn skittish either. And it is my fault I played Clash... I mean the game here. I should've known better." Herd, why did he never stand up for himself? The exterminators can't be that bad!
I explained to him "You don't have to apologize, Jack. You never meant to scare anyone." and before he could keep apologizing (I know him too well to think he wouldn't) I changed the subject. "We have money at our disposal now, we can buy something from the Mellow Firefruit on our way to the train station."
Jack agreed, but he was worried about "spacists". (Oh Herd, has he lost it?) I asked "What in the Arbor is a spacist?" In case you don't know, the Arbor is where followers of the Great Protector go when they die. It's a huge forest with plentiful and delicious food, and no predators.
When I finally mustered up my courage and told Jack that the god I worship hates his kind, I was half expecting to die horribly by his unusually short claws or extremely dull fangs. (Are they so peaceful because of their lack of natural weapons, or do they lack natural weapons because they're so peaceful? I should ask Jack that)
Instead, he shrugged it off and told me that, apparently, "Jesus still solos." When I explained the Arbor at his request, he had the brilliant idea to convert to worshiping the Protector and then kill himself in order to appear there and scare the afterlife out of everyone else. He quickly and profusely explained that he would never actually do that, but Inatala would never have accepted him anyway so it didn't matter.
Anyway, back to real life. Jack told me "Oh, spacists? They're just space racists except I mushed the two words together. It's a play on words type thing." The words 'space' and 'racists' do not fit together in Venlilese, and frankly, I was astounded that the translator even gave me the concept. (I bought it second-hand from a Mazic who stepped on it one too many times, but it was incredibly cheap)
I told him "If you told anyone but me that the words 'space' and 'racists' fit together then you would be screened for Predator Disease." and he covered his mouth in the gesture that was universally recognized as a prey-safe predator's laugh.
"God, sometimes I forget you guys have a sense of humor."
Just then, I started walking. I was tired, like any Venlil would be after a long walk, a long wait in line and the anticipation of another long walk, but the thought of the sweet, delicious food at the Mellow Firefruit kept me going. (I have to get Jack some, he's been underrating Venlil cuisine ever since he first tried my subpar cooking)
Jack fell in behind me, then he moved up to be at my side as an equal. Us Venlil didn't care where you were in line, but I guess predators have different priorities. (Is thinking 'predator' as bad as saying it? That's a dilemma I need to deal with later) I asked him "How come your claws and... uh... those pointy front teeth are so small?" (I don't like talking about fangs, sue me)
Jack turned to look at me, jerked his head away a little, then he turned and looked at me again. He responded to my question, realized I was a Venlil, and realized I was Salvek, in that order. I was good at reading people. He told me "First of all, they're called nails and canines. And second of all, we've never needed claws so they never evolved." A predator never needing claws was absurd! When would Jack learn that he didn't have to lie to me?
I interrupted my friend's explanation by telling him "Jack, I'm not going to run away or faint just because you tell me that ancient humans hunted. I get it. Just tell me how you lost your claws."
Jack sighed. He didn't sigh a lot, only when he was driven to the end of his very long rope (Turns out that's a human idiom too! Who knew?) by someone else's, usually my, stupidity. "Salvek, we didn't lose them. We evolved to eat fruit from trees, and by the time we were eating meat we had at least developed the art of throwing rocks at things. There was never any need for them, and they never appeared as a result. Satisfied?"
Developing weapons early on did make sense for humans, given how good they are at combat, so I nodded. It wasn't really a Venlil expression, but those in the exchange program had learned everything they could about their human partners. (I'm saying human instead of predator! Progress!) "Yeah, that makes sense."
Jack continued, explaining about human 'canines'. We just called them fangs. "Canines were originally fangs, yeah," He lowered his voice when he mentioned fangs. "but when we made fire around a million years ago, we didn't need them anymore and so they got smaller. I'm no expert, but that's what I know."
That actually made sense. I knew the Arxur didn't eat cooked meat, since I found uncensored raid footage on an internet rabbit hole when I was fourteen, (I peed myself and had nightmares for weeks but no one has to know) but I always assumed humans shared that trait. Maybe I was just like the rest with how I kept comparing humans and Arxur. (Why am I capitalizing one and not the other? No one knows!)
Maybe I was just like the rest. Maybe one day I would lose control and run from Jack, or freeze up, or worse, call the exterminators, and then it would all be over. I could never live with myself if my damned instincts got him to hate me or got him killed. I've only known him for a few weeks, but when we met we just clicked.
It's still weird to me how the concept of platonic soul mates doesn't exist yet.
"That's it, right?" Jack asked while pointing to a red restaurant a few blocks away. That was it. I was about to eat good.

2023.05.29 23:27 Spinelli__ LG OLED. Setting YCbCr422 makes text look normal/perfect?
Background info:
I did a bunch of tests and custom resolutions using the CRU program and I'm able to get DP 1.4 non-DSC to work up to 201 Hz (8-bit RGB) and 240 Hz (8-, 10-, and 12-bit YCbCr422). This is important because DP 1.4 DSC mode does not allow Nvidia DSR because DSR cannot be used with DSC. So I basically can now get gorgeous Nvidia DLDSR to work with my LG 45GR95QE-B up to 240 Hz and I cannot see any difference in games, whatsoever, with YCbCr422 compared to RGB. Even if I want to use full RGB, though, I can still get that all the way up to 201 Hz.
Another user showed a video of how to get HDMI 2.1 to use DSR at full 240 Hz at full RGB so my discovery/work above regarding DP 1.4 settings may not matter much anyways.
What I've noticed:
Am I going crazy or does setting the monitor to YCbCr422 make text look perfect just like text looks with RGB and YCbCr444 mode on "regular" monitors?
I don't really care to be honest, I can read just fine regardless of things like OLED text fringe, pixel density, etc. but some people some to be extremely picky on what the letters of words on their screen look like, or it could be important for work (professional text font designer?). I wanted to report this for all those people. Can you guys verify this? I repeated it like 5 times with my face right up to my monitor and my nose almost touching my monitor and that little bit of text fringe coloring artifact/"shadow" stuff seems to be completely eliminated in YCbCr422 mode.

2023.05.29 23:26 AuziFox [COD] Hackers, hackers everywhere.
Hey, might be the minority here. Not a fan of [MW2] 2022. So tried [MW] 2019. Spent $60 on steam. The price of a game that should be fully playable. But it’s unplayable, full of hackers. Sadly my party didn’t run into hackers til we had 2.1 hours played. Which then, ironically ran into them every game after until we were essentially forced to quit for the night. So no cigar on returning. That aside. Is there a title that has a hacker free multiplayer? Or is that just the new norm. For the developers to abandon their previous titles. Forcing players to play their recent title.
Can’t help but think that it’s become a business about what can bring in the most money, what brings in the biggest audience. Not really caring about the audience of previous titles.
Seems like a marketing trend in the gaming community.

2023.05.29 23:24 Excellent-Owl-4857 I admit it, I found something...
If the mods don't want me to post about this in future, just remove the post and I won't talk about it.
TL;DR:
A few months ago, I posted a picture of me having 12.9 million gold but the post got removed. In the comments here I said that it was only visual, and that I couldn't spend any, but I admit I was lying by omission (where you leave out key bits of evidence).
Part 1: The discovery
Late at night, I was messing around with a few documents containing settings for a game I enjoy. The path to these files were: C:\Users\(my username)\%appdata%\LocalLow, and once I was done, I tried messing about with other locallow files, and I stumbled upon the biggest discovery ever.
Part 2: Previous instances of 'hacking' AdCap
I'm sure you have seen people who show them using Cheat Engine to hack themselves in many values, but upon me trying it, I found it impossible. Around about 18 months later, having beaten the game, I tried everything to see if there was anything that could break this game. And I had experience, too (The games that I had hacked before were Android games, and I got free in-app purchases in many of them). I found nothing that day, logged off my computer and didn't try again until about 4 months ago. But this was accidental.
Part 3: The file
So, in part 1 I mentioned the LocalLow folder. Inside that folder, I found a folder named 'Hyper Hippo Productions Ltd_' and inside that was an absolute horror show. If you have AdCap installed, open this folder for yourself. Ready for the path? Here it comes!
"C:\Users\(username)\AppData\LocalLow\Hyper Hippo Productions Ltd_\AdCap!"
Inside this folder, there is a file titled '7.4-2022-11-21-7.4.5-2.gamedata'. It may be different for you though. Open that file in notepad, and what do you see? Probably gibberish that makes no sense. But I see a gold mine... literally!
Part 4: Commit edits
In notepad, use the find tool to search for 'gold'. Keep searching until you find this:
"StoreItems":[{"Id":"time_warp_express","DisplayName":"Time Warp Express 10 Pack","Active":true,"PurchaseCount":0,"Platforms":"Ios,Android,Steam","DisplayPriority":22,"StoreItemType":"None","Cost":{"Price":50,"Currency":"Gold"},"TriggerDatas":[{"TriggerType":"None"}],"Rewards":[{"RewardType":"Item","Id":"time_warp_express","Qty":10}]}
And modify the numbers after "Qty" and "Price" to say whatever you like. My personal favourite:
"StoreItems":[{"Id":"time_warp_express","DisplayName":"Time Warp Express 1000000 Pack","Active":true,"PurchaseCount":0,"Platforms":"Ios,Android,Steam","DisplayPriority":22,"StoreItemType":"None","Cost":{"Price":0,"Currency":"Gold"},"TriggerDatas":[{"TriggerType":"None"}],"Rewards":[{"RewardType":"Item","Id":"time_warp_express","Qty":1000000}]}
You can do this with any item by the way.
Once you are done, save it as '7.4-2022-11-21-7.4.5-2.gamedata' and MAKE SURE IT HAS SAVED AS .gamedata, NOT .gamedata.txt. After, boot up AdCap, and if you set the price to anything between 0 and -9999999 (the game detects it if you go 10mil or over) you will get the item for free.
HYPER HIPPO, DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW GAMEBREAKING THIS IS? I played for over 18 months to finish the game, and how long do you think it took me, on a fresh account, with this bug? 10 minutes.

2023.05.29 23:23 vark1222 How one person can destroy your life
My wife Shanda is a nurse who has been fired from four hospitals for stealing and consuming patients prescribed narcotics. She has had her nursing license on probation 2 times. Addiction is only one of her flaws. She has been with her husband for 18 years, married for 11. In October of 2022 they went away for the weekend to celebrate their 11th wedding anniversary. After returning from their trip, Shanda wasted little time by starting an affair with a co-worker just 2 days later. She had laid the ground work for this affair before leaving town. This winner she cheated on her husband with, is 7 years older than her (50 years old). He is also married, actually been married 3 times. He is also a nurse. She confided or should I say spread lies to her coworker about her husband to gain sympathy and attention from him. She also told him all of her husbands business and secrets.
A little bit abour her husband. They have 3 children 17, 7 and 5 years old. Her husband workes 80 hours a week to ensure that Shanda could buy anything and everything she wanted. He loved her deeply, and tolerated everything she threw at him. Fast forward to 11/29/23. the affair had picked up steam, she spent less and less time at home and taking care of their children. She was 6 weeks in and played her wife role to ensure her husband did not suspect anything. A week prior, her husband was starting to notice weird things like changing passwords, less communication from her on a daily basis and she had become increasing guarded of her phone and spending more time than she ever have had on her social media accounts. Her husband finally had an opportunity on 11/29 when she left her phone upstairs and he grabbed it went straight to recently deleted messages and there they were 490 text messages that chronicled everything, the entire evolution of their affair. By the first week of November they were full blown sexting. She became enraged and assaulted him, saying she didn't love him anymore and didn't want to be with him. He was beyond hurt, he sacrificed his own happiness for years for her. December and January were brutual, she continued to cheat after telling him and the 17 year old daughter that she was sorry, used bad judgement and was going to focus on repairing their marriage. Her treatment of her husband was absolutely disgusting, she would assault him, broke his Imac twice, the 2nd time she hit him over the head with it. She's the one that caused all of this and she felt she had the right to take out her anger on him because he caught her. She had opened up 3 different snapchat accounts because this was her preferred way to communicate with her affair partner. Her husband had been documenting all of her violence and continued to stand by her hoping she would realize how her actions were destroying him and their children. Most of the arguing and fighting took place in front of the 7 and 5 year olds.
By January she was openly cheating in the face of her husband. January 23, 2023, her husband had found a way to have her text messages sent to his phone, that evening she gets home from work, he pours his heart out to her, begging her to stop her affair and recommit to her family. While he is doing this she is texting affair guy lies about her husband, he is telling her how much fun the day before with her was and how he is divorcing his wife and wants her to refinance his house with her, she responds with I need to make plans to leave him and spend the rest of my life with you. The whole time her husband is reading this exchange in real time, he puts his phone down but didn't close out the messaging app, Shanda notices this because the last text sent from her was a blowing kiss emoji. I forgot to mention that in the middle of January her husband got into her snapchat account and found a message from her to him where she proclaimed her love for him. In the beginning of January she was busted by her nurse probation case manager for failing a drug test which resulted in an addtional year tacked on to her probation and mandatory outpatient rehab for 30 days. Anyways after she noticed his phone she got pissed and chased him around the house trying to get his phone from him, grabbing his car keys to prevent him from leaving the house. He shouted for her to stop and not in front of the kids, put the kids to bed and i'll give you my phone he said, but she wouldn't stop. Finally, he grabbed her to get his key from her, he leaves she calls the cops, he is arrested and put in jail for domestic assault. She gets him out the next day, he notices that while he was in jail she spent most of her time on the phone with her affair friend. She tells her husband that she will go to court and not press charges, that was a lie, and on Feb. 3, 2023 she files for divorce telling her husband she was going to have the charges dropped, he knew she was lying because he put a gps tracker in her car and new she as at a divorce lawyers office. February she claimed to have ended her affair, but really it was her lawyer telling her to be more careful with her affair till this is over. Her husband, is devasted by this, but vows to get her to change her mind. she at one point tells him she will stop the divorce and another time says she will pause the divorce to attempt reconciliation. Both these times were straight lies. By this time she is telling her husband "why are you here? No one here cares about you".
She became very emotionally abusive after filing for divorce. So much so her husband contemplated taking his own life and actually staged an event to make it look like he was trying, that all backfired though. Then came March 29th, this was the anniversary of their first date, her husband comes home for work, he notices she has regular clothes on and not pajamas, she always changes into pajamas. She starts an argument on purpose for an excuse to leave and stay the night at her moms house. She leaves, he can't sleep at around 3:30am, he has a funny feeling, looks a her email and notices a hotel receipt from 12:21am that morning. He jumps in the car and races to the hotel, sure enough their is her car in the parking lot of a neighboring hotel and their is his car in the hotel parking lot that matches the reciept. Her husband calls the hotel and asks to be transferred to her room, no answer, he goes in the hotel and asks the front desk to try again, no answer, tries one more time. This time someone picks up but says nothing, he cries to her on the phone asking why? He returns to his car and now can tell what room they are in, he waits, 30 minutes later the punk ass 50 yr old walks out of the hotel and to his car, her husband just stares at him, he drives off. Hours later, she returns home packs a bunch of clothes and moves out to stay with her mom. 3 weeks later her husband has to appear in court for the charge, her divorce lawyer shows up and has the case prolonged for 2 more months. She appears to feel bad and returns home but says no affection or sex and she will let him know if she feels anything. Back up to her moving out, her affair friend started sending text messages to her husband threatening him and bringing up things only his wife knew about him, he crossed the line when the affair guy brought up his daughter's name. By this time it wasn't enough to for her to fuck another man and tell her how much she loves him, she had to mentally torment him and talk of their children to this low life piece of shit.
Now here we are in May, he tries to give her a good mother;s day and she insults him. Four days later, here comes the phone call from CPS. They interview all 3 children and Shanda and her husband, now this has gotten way out of hand, he plans to comply with CPS, Shanda has no plans to comply, that is where we are at right now. She is a cheating whore who never had the balls to tell her husband that she was unhappy before spreading her legs for someone else. She has mentally destroyed her husband and their kids, she never has shown a bit of remorse, she is looking for an apartment because their house will have to be sold because her husband cannot afford it by himself. The kids will have to lose their house and change schools. Her husband is in financial turmoil and he is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She never put one ounce of energy into saving their marriage and has never apologized for the things she has done. Mediation is not scheduled till July 22nd, so this is far from over, who knows what the hell will happen next. This is a great example of how one person can destroy another persons life and makes you question if you even know your own wife. I will surely post updates as this seems to be far from over. I apologize for this post being in the 3rd person.

2023.05.29 23:23 CoderVonWish Umschulung zum FIA und die IHK Prüfung. Ich brauche Hilfe oder einen Ratschlag.
Hallo liebes Schwarmwissen, ich hoffe Ihr könnt mir helfen da ich michirgendwie verloren fühle und bedanke mich bei jedem der sich die Zeit nimmt dashier zu lesen. Throwaway weil ich mich extrem schäme. Ich will einfacherfolgreich die Umschulung schaffen und einen guten Job finden und brauche eineArt "Wegweiser" weil die IT einfach so riesig ist...
Zusammenfassung:
31 Jahre alt, Umschulung zum FIA und Überfordert. Im letztenUmschulungsjahr. Pendler. Max. 3-4h Freizeit pro Tag. ADS. Kreislauf ausUnterricht, wiederholen, vergessen, nachholen. Auf Praktikumssuche für ein6-Monatiges Praktikum da notwendig für die IHK Prüfung 2024 und kann mich u.a.deswegen nicht auf den Unterricht selbst konzentrieren. Wenn ich Abends lerne,habe ich kein Medikament.
Ausführlich:
Infos:
Ich bin 31 Jahre alt, und mache eine Umschulung zum Fachinformatiker fürAnwendungsentwicklung bei einer Hochschule. Ich habe u.a. ADS und kann michnicht so gut auf 10 Dinge gleichzeitig konzentrieren. Medikament für Morgensund Mittags. Ich bin jetzt im letzten Jahr. Zwischen 1 und 4 sind alle Notendabei. In Java und Web habe ich eine 2 wobei das mein Stand Ende 2022 ist, inNetzwerk und Linux eine 4, Deutsch, Mathe, Englisch hatte ich eine 1. Wirschrieben bald wieder Klausuren, was mir wieder extrem Angst macht. (Wir habenGrundlagen, OOB, Vererbung gemacht und haben nun mit Schnittstellen angefangenund SQL, in Web sind wir mit html und css durch und machen nun php. Ich holeimmernoch Wissenslücken nach oder vergesse die Syntax von einem Codestück wasmich dann viel Zeit kostet im Unterricht (Arrays, Parameter, einzelne Wörterwie null o.ä., Klassen/Objekte als Datentyp oder Doppelte namen, ob casesensitive oder nicht, ob call by value oder reference etc…) (Ich überlege inden Sommerferien eine Zusammenfassung zu erstellen, mir wird aber geraten michzu erholen). Ich kann mich ein halbes Jahr zurückversetzen lassen, möchte esaber nicht, da meine Umstände mittlerweile unerträglich sind und zu meinerHauptmotivation zählen (Ein Zimmer Wohnung, Nachbarn in der Nachtschicht, keinAuto, keine Waschmaschine uvm.)
Zu meiner Problem:
Ich komme seit ca. 2 Monaten im Unterricht nicht mehr mit. Am Anfang derUmschulung war es ein Kreislauf aus: Unterricht, vergessen, zuhause Nachholen,wiederholen, da die Lehrer mir in manchen Fächern einfach zu schnell sind oderein Thema bis ins kleinste Detail erklärt und runtergebrochen wird oder es sichmanchmal wie ein Studium anfühlt und ich mir alles von Freunden oder Youtube„in a Nutshell“ erklären lassen muss oder eine Sache 10x wiederholen was andeream selben Tag direkt verinnerlicht haben und jedesmal leidet mein Selbstwertdarunter. Das Programmieren an sich macht mir sogar sehr spaß, anders zu denkenund effizient Lösungen für ein Problem zu suchen hat mir früher schon spaßgemacht z.B. in Monopoly die beste Gewinnstrategie finden etc. und mir habenbisher auch fast alle Aufgaben in Web und Java Spaß gemacht, solange ich genugZeit hatte Sie zu lösen. aber ich fühle mich momentan als würde ich in einerBibliothek stehen und müsste 100 Bücher gleichzeitig lesen und mir alles selberbeibringen. Ich kann die Dinge auch nicht auswendig und muss wirklich den codein Web oder Java aus den ersten Projekten „übernehmen“ bzw Copy Pasten, nochmalschauen was Sie machen und umschreiben (außer Schleifen und If-Abfragenvielleicht). In dem Moment kann ich es auch Anwenden aber es frisst ZuvielZeit. Außerdem weiß ich nicht wohin es nach der Ausbildung geht, wo oder wie ichmich später spezialisieren soll und ich kenne mich auch z.B. mit Hardware /Netzwerk gar nicht aus, und will eigentlich nur Programmieren oder vielleichtmal ins Frontend. Ich habe auch nie einen PC zusammengebaut und schäme michextrem dafür. Ich merke ich hab da keine Lust mitzureden wenn eine Diskussionbeginnt. Frontend mach mir zurzeit mehr Spaß obwohl mein Gesammtes Wissen glaubich im Backend ist (falls das überhaupt gerade relevant ist.) Dazu kommt jetztdas für die IHK Prüfung (2024) ein Praktikum von 6 Monaten notwendig ist, sonstkann man nicht an der Prüfung zum FIA teilnehmen, ich schriebe also seit 3Wochen ca. 4 Bewerbungen pro Woche und es regnet nur Absagen (Ich habe meineBewerbung mehrmals von Lehrern und Freunden und zwei „Coaches“ Prüfen lassenund positive Rückmeldungen erhalten das Lebenslauf, Anschreiben usw. passt).
Randinformationen:
Seit dem Beginn der Umschulung sieht mein Alltag (bis auf Freitags)ungefähr so aus: 90min Pendeln, 2x 90min Unterricht, 60 min Mittagspause, 2x 90min Unterricht, 90 min Pendeln. 30 min Sport am Tag, 3x pro Woche zu Fußeinkaufen und 1x die Woche zu Fuß zum Waschsalon Wäsche waschen. (Führerscheinaber kein Auto). Mit Schlafmangel komme auf ca. 3-4h Freizeit pro Tag. Ichschlafe ca. 7h pro Tag und am Wochenende 9h. Ich bin 2 mal im Monat in Therapieund 1 mal im Monat bei der Lernberatung. Diese meinte zu mir das ich nach derUmschulung wahrscheinlich nur 20% der Umschulung im Job brauche was mich etwasberuhigt hat, und das ich auch mit 3er und 4er in allen Punkten im grünen Lichtstehe die Umschulung zu schaffen, ich sehe es aber nicht und habe wie gesagtZukunftsängste und weiß nicht auf was ich mich jetzt konzentrieren soll. InWiSo und paar anderen Fächern hänge ich auch hinterher und ich mache soviel ichkann. Leider kann ich mich nicht zerteilen und hatte im ersten Jahr derUmschulung schon zwei Burnouts weil ich an fast allen Wochenendengelernt/nachgeholt habe.
Danke für alle Antworten und wenn noch Fragen sind Antworte ich gerne sowie es zeitlich klappt.

Außerdem weiß ich nicht wohin es nach der Ausbildung geht, wo oder wie ichmich später spezialisieren soll und ich kenne mich auch z.B. mit Hardware /Netzwerk gar nicht aus, und will eigentlich nur Programmieren oder vielleichtmal ins Frontend. Ich habe auch nie einen PC zusammengebaut und schäme michextrem dafür. Ich merke ich hab da keine Lust mitzureden wenn eine Diskussionbeginnt. Frontend mach mir zurzeit mehr Spaß obwohl mein Gesammtes Wissen glaubich im Backend ist (falls das überhaupt gerade relevant ist.) Dazu kommt jetztdas für die IHK Prüfung (2024) ein Praktikum von 6 Monaten notwendig ist, sonstkann man nicht an der Prüfung zum FIA teilnehmen, ich schriebe also seit 3Wochen ca. 4 Bewerbungen pro Woche und es regnet nur Absagen (Ich habe meineBewerbung mehrmals von Lehrern und Freunden und zwei „Coaches“ Prüfen lassenund positive Rückmeldungen erhalten das Lebenslauf, Anschreiben usw. passt).
Randinformationen:
Seit dem Beginn der Umschulung sieht mein Alltag (bis auf Freitags)ungefähr so aus: 90min Pendeln, 2x 90min Unterricht, 60 min Mittagspause, 2x 90min Unterricht, 90 min Pendeln. 30 min Sport am Tag, 3x pro Woche zu Fußeinkaufen und 1x die Woche zu Fuß zum Waschsalon Wäsche waschen. (Führerscheinaber kein Auto). Mit Schlafmangel komme auf ca. 3-4h Freizeit pro Tag. Ichschlafe ca. 7h pro Tag und am Wochenende 9h. Ich bin 2 mal im Monat in Therapieund 1 mal im Monat bei der Lernberatung. Diese meinte zu mir das ich nach derUmschulung wahrscheinlich nur 20% der Umschulung im Job brauche was mich etwasberuhigt hat, und das ich auch mit 3er und 4er in allen Punkten im grünen Lichtstehe die Umschulung zu schaffen, ich sehe es aber nicht und habe wie gesagtZukunftsängste und weiß nicht auf was ich mich jetzt konzentrieren soll. InWiSo und paar anderen Fächern hänge ich auch hinterher und ich mache soviel ichkann. Leider kann ich mich nicht zerteilen und hatte im ersten Jahr derUmschulung schon zwei Burnouts weil ich an fast allen Wochenendengelernt/nachgeholt habe.
Danke für alle Antworten und wenn noch Fragen sind Antworte ich gerne sowie es zeitlich klappt.

2023.05.29 23:22 Quirky_Review4336 Finding it difficult to find a job after graduating?
Merħba
I was wondering if anyone had the same issue like me at finding a job after graduating. So Last summer of 2022 I finished my last year of collage and got my degree so I started job hunting.
To sum it up during June 2022 till September 2022 I applied a total of 36 jobs all that are related to what I studied for. Only 3 contacted me for an interview, 6 contacted me that I was not chosen for an interview, while the rest no contact. Just to clear thing up the vacancies I was applying for were only 2 weeks max since they were put up on recruitment sites (Keepmeposted, Jobsinmalta, Konnekt, Alfred jobs & LinkedIn)
After giving up I found a job which has noting to do with my studies, but I enjoy my current job especially my coworkers, they are the best part of the job. But after almost a year I want to try and find something that has something to do with what I studied for. I tried to apply for the last 3 months but still same issue as last summer.
I was wondering if there was anyone that had a similar experience. Thank you for reading and your time. Naprezza ❤️

2023.05.29 23:22 CadeOCarimbo Considering doing a career transition for Software Engineer or Data Engineer for more remote opportunities. Thoughts?
I'm a data Scientist with 6+ years of experience. Doing this shift is something that has crossed my mind a few times in the last 2 years but now it seems the right time for me to start a study plan to accomplish this.
I like both the stats and the programming part of Data Scientist but I'm getting quite frustrated at the lack of remote job opportunities for Data Scientist. It seems many company think that DS should be as close as possible to the business people, hence enforcing RTO. With devs and data engineers it seems much there are many more WFH from home, even for companies outside of my country (Brazil).
Thoughts on doing this transition? What's a study plan like to becoming a data or software engineer given my technical background?

2023.05.29 23:21 fartenjoyer6969 Gen Four Switch-in Calculator testing
Hey, so I was planning a deep dive run into Renegade Platinum where I plan all the battles without Nuzlocke rules so I can try and nuzlocke the game and I was wondering if the switch-in AI was the same as gen 3 or the later gens but apparently gen 4 just has no discernable rules which I found somewhat hard to believe. Anyway I stumbled upon a video by Drxx who tested a ton of different Pokemon combinations to discern whether or not there is any rule to the switch-in and found that there are two phases, it's detailed in this document that they created:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MpWJWc4wNTz2oA6QiPMmstLpSwHBlpRk/view
According to their research, the AI will look for a supereffective move, on the current pokemon from its party and then if multiple pokemon have a supereffective move, it does this really weird bugged calculation to rank all the AI's Pokemon. So, although it should rank a Pokemon with types that are quad effective (such as Machamp vs Bastiodon) at the top, it actually places them in the middle. This means the absolute top priority Pokemon is one that is 6x effective (one type is supereffective and the other is quad) and then the rest of the pokemon are ranked via the addition of these two calculations.
If you're trying to predict a switch-in, it's quite time consuming to try and calculate the ranks of up to 5 Potential pokemon in the back so I decided (instead of writing my degree dissertation) to write a program that would calculate theses ranks based on the assumptions made in this google doc. The only thing is, my coding skills are... based on my Computer Science GCSE that I did 5 years ago (I did get a B though) so I agonisingly tried to teach ChatGPT the concept of quad-effectiveness so that it could write the bulk of the code and I made the manual adjustments that would output the results into their own variables because it was too much for ChatGPT to even comprehend that I would want it to add up two values rather than the four it insisted i needed.
And it works! It calculated the assumed ranking made in the google doc indepedently of being fed that specific information which means that it can accurately calculate the specific situation where multiple Pokemon would have a supereffective move on yours. I would love for some of you guys to potentially test this for me in game and let me know if it's accurate, I have no friends who play Pokemon and I'm already procrastinating too much to do proper testing anyway but I'd really appreciate some feedback and if any of you are even slightly better at coding than me, you're more than welcome to use my source code and contribute (ChatGPT did do the heavy lifting so I'm calling this one a joint effort)
Here's the link: https://github.com/Neb66/GenFourSwitchInCalculato
Again, I'm not expecting any overjoyous feedback, this is more of a jumping off point for a potentially better program that can more accurately track the fucntioning of the Gen 4 AI.

2023.05.29 23:20 Maxson52 Student laptop for engineering >CAD$1200 (Canada)
LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE
submitted by Maxson52 to SuggestALaptop [link] [comments]
- Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: Canada. Around CAD$1200. I have access to some good student deals (10-20% off various brands) which brings a few more $1500-$1600 devices into the budget.
- Are you open to refurbs/used? Preferably not.
- How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Battery life is important. Ideally be able to go 5+ hours of class (likely just web browsing with 2-3hrs of CAD and programming) without having to worry about battery. Performance is also key, as CAD stuff can get fairly intensive. Looking at i5 or i7 (or AMD equivalent). Doesn't need to be a 2-in-1, but all metal body will full glass panel screen is nice.
- How important is weight and thinness to you? Lighter and thin is better to be carrying around in a backpack.
- Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13-14in.
- Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Yes, Solidworks, AutoCAD, Blender, Photoshop.
- If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Occasionally Valorant, but FPS isn't a major concern.
- Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Minimum 16gb of ram, 512gb SSD. Otherwise a good keyboard, a fingerprint reader, etc are just nice to have.
- Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I've been running a Lenovo Flex 14 (i5-8265U, 256 SSD, 16gb RAM) which has served me well. Battery life was always okay, the CPU seemed to keep up with most of the 3D work I've done (rendering stuff was a bit sluggish), and the 256 SSD was quickly filled with various programs, so most of my files are on an external SSD.
2023.05.29 23:19 purplestarr10 So bummed that people in my team are leaving
I'm an instructional coach and my role is mainly working with ELL. This is year 2 at my school. My school is dysfunctional, admins and leaders are disorganized, uncommunicative, and micromanaging, the pay isn't good and the neighborhood is far from everything so I totally understand why people leave and I support them getting a better job. But I am still so bummed because I love my team and we've reached the point where our ELL program is finally going well and producing good results. I'm afraid we won't find teachers to replace the ones leaving next year and even if we do, they will never be as good because the ones that are leaving are experienced, certified, and just overall great educators and great people, and the teachers my school has been hiring this year are very inexperienced and not certified because that's all they can get, we also had an ELL vacancy this whole year and haven't been able to fill it. So I don't know what's going to happen next year but I think this program is going downhill and it's depressing, and I don't know what to do because I don't think there's anything I can do, I have zero decisional power and even our program director has left so there's no one in my corner... This sucks, that's all.

2023.05.29 23:18 ImportanceNo9871 RRECS disputes
Hey I had a aux route up until July of 2022 when it was converted and I became regular in September. So my question is how do I word in my dispute that this can not be adequate results for my route? I was a 42k and dropped 2 hours to a 40k which I know isn’t a lot to some but how could my route go down when I was added over 250-275 more boxes with heavy volumes and a CBU. Not to mention last week I just got another CBU. Thank you for any help.

2023.05.29 23:16 Bittersweet_7 UOttawa Healthsci vs. UofT life science vs. Western MedSci
Currently on the waitlist for Queens healthsci, as this doesn't guarantee a spot, I have to accept one of my other offers (UOttawa health science, UofT life science (at either Scarborough or Mississauga), Western Medical Science). My end goal is to get into medical school through one of these programs, but I'm having a hard time deciding which one would be best.
Main things to consider:
submitted by Bittersweet_7 to OntarioUniversities [link] [comments]
Main things to consider:
- Focused environment (atmosphere of the school - preferably not a party school or the opposite extreme)
- Ease of getting into medical school (difficulty of maitaining a high GPA, extracurriculars/research opportunities available, courses in the program - would it require using elective space for med. pre-reqs)
- Size of the program (how difficult/easy is it to communicate/reach out to professors and TAs + making friends with people in the program, how competitive are those around you in terms of getting into medical school)
2023.05.29 23:15 fkingyoung_perfect crazy guy ch*ked me out at a party and egged my car part 2
jake still liked me obviously, but i did not. it was all good and he was nice and funny and almost never did anything wrong or made me mad. around october 2022, i developed a trauma bond with him. i told him i didn’t want a relationship with him because i have committment issues. november 2022 it got even worse. the highs were high, but the lows were sooo low. we would argue every single day and he would verbally and emotionally abuse me. he also demanded sexual favors, which i would decline. this would frustrate him, so i made it clear that i didn’t mind if he messed with other girls because we weren’t even dating so he had no reason to be “loyal” to me. of course, he did mess with other girls, but he confessed that it was never fullfilling because the only girl he truly wanted was me. february 2023, we got in a heated argument and out of anger, he revealed that he did in fact have my pic from last year. this obviously enraged me and i almost cut him off again. we took a short break of around 2-3 days before he apologized again. i felt that i was already in too deep, and there were 3 months of school left, so i should just push through and might as well continue using him for rides, food, and gifts. beginning of april 2023, we got in another argument and he said “go get r word by your dad”, referring to my personal trauma (my dad did not r word me btw). friday april 14, 2023, 2 days before my birthday, he dropped me off in the middle of nowhere and almost made me walk to school (not the first time he had done this.) that same day, he told me to come out of class so we could discuss what happened, and i told him i didn’t want to because i didn’t trust him and i didn’t want to get dropped off in the middle of nowhere and have to walk back to school. he told me he would park at school so i had nothing to be afraid of. i agreed to go talk to him as long as he parked at school. i got in his truck and he immediately started driving off campus. i told him to turn around and he said he would but of course, he didn’t. i did what i had to do to avoid getting dropped off far away, so i jumped out of his moving vehicle and walked back to school quickly. it was pretty traumatizing and i had to cover my face in class to hide the fact that i was uncontrollably crying. fast forward to may 26, 2023, i finally got to go to my first party, and jake was there. we were on good terms and actually having a lot of fun. it was a pool party, so i had a bikini on, and lots of guys were coming up at me and hitting on me, which jake very much noticed and was trying to get the guys away from me, despite us not even being in a relationship. towards the end of the party, some guy and i were super drunk and we kissed but i pulled away really quickly. jake witnessed it and you can already imagine how furious he was, which is beyond stupid because not only has he kissed other girls, he has also effed them. he grabbed my arm and dragged me away to a corner away from the party scene while continuously asking me “why the f did you do that”. he pushed me against the wall and began choking me with both hands. i couldn’t breathe. i said “stop choking me i can’t breathe” and thankfully the host’s mom got there quickly and said “what are you doing?” in an angry tone. jake said nothing and let go of me. the host’s dad started yelling at jake in front of everyone and told him to get the f out. i tried to de escalate the situation by saying he only grabbed me, but no one was buying it. i went to jake’s truck with him to talk but we hardly did any talking. he was breathing heavily and taking deep breaths in hopes of calming down. my friends walked over to his truck and told me to get out because they didn’t trust jake. later that night, jake sent a video of him effing another girl in hopes of making me jealous or just to help him feel better (neither of which happpened.) he blocked me on everything and went around saying i kissed a homosexual in hopes of embarrassing me. he and justin messaged my mom via instagram to try to get me grounded or in trouble. in the early hours of may 28, 2023, he came to my house while everyone was asleep and egged my car. he continues to go around spreading lies about me and recruiting people to dislike me and make fun of me. everything he has done to me and almost all our arguments have been about other guys on my social media because he’s so insecure. he has always tried to justify his actions by saying it was a reaction to what i did, or i shouldn’t have made him mad in the first place. he’s mentally ill and takes any opportunity to go all out and release his demons. [today is monday may 29, 2023]
i have emailed his college twice with proof of him being racist, homophobic, having an underage girl’s explicit photo, and entering private property to egg my car. i also texted his mom to tell her to stop her son from coming to my house again. i can handle the harassment, but coming to my house is too far. a few days ago he said he told his stepdad about how i’m going around “lying” about him choking me and how they’re going to take me to court. i’m pretty sure he lied about that though. i’m looking for revenge ideas, so let me know what i should do.
be mindful of who you allow to be in your life and don’t settle for less than what you deserve. be careful and don’t surround yourself with dangerous people

2023.05.29 23:14 MyFutureIsSuccess Pluggable USB Dual 4K Display Adapter suddenly stopped working
I’ve had a Pluggable USB Dual 4K Display Adapter for about 2.5 years at this point. It’s worked great with 2 computers (MacBook pro and a Dell) up until last Monday. I originally purchased it to be able to use 2 monitors for schoolwork during college on my Macbook Pro. I’ve been using it on my company-issued Dell Laptop since September 2022.
When I started this job back in September, everything worked fine with the DisplayLink. Right when I plugged it in the USB C port (with the 2 HDMI cables from each monitor connected to the back of it), it instantly picked up the 2 monitors and I was able to use my computer along with the dual monitors with no issues up until last Monday (5/22). I logged in last Monday and I noticed that my monitors were not recognizing the computer. I unplugged the power source from both monitors, waited 10 minutes, reconnected the power source, and I still had the same issue. I kept it plugged in the whole day and during the middle of the day both monitors randomly came on and acted as they normally would. This lasted for about an hour, and then the monitors went black again and couldn’t recognize the displaylink connection again.
It’s not a problem with the monitor’s or HDMI cords because I plugged in the HDMI cord from each monitor to the HDMI port on this computer and it picked up connection from both monitors instantly.
Today I tried to plug in my Macbook, and it had the same issue. Both monitor’s did not recognize my macbook. After doing some research today, I came across this help link: https://kb.plugable.com/docking-stations-and-video/373346-my-displaylink-based-dock-or-adapter-is-not-working and followed all of the instructions, but I’m still having the same issue that I’ve been having.
I emailed all the information and the .ZIP file I got from running the diagnostics tool to Pluggable’s customer service email just now so I’m waiting for a response.
Has anyone had a similar issue or does anyone have a possible solution? For now I’m just using 1 monitor by directly connecting the HDMI cord from the monitor into my computer, but I really need 2 monitors to work efficiently for my specific job. I have a feeling that it could be finally crapping out on me, but I wanted to see if I could find a solution before purchasing a new dock. Thanks in advance everyone!

I logged in last Monday and I noticed that my monitors were not recognizing the computer. I unplugged the power source from both monitors, waited 10 minutes, reconnected the power source, and I still had the same issue. I kept it plugged in the whole day and during the middle of the day both monitors randomly came on and acted as they normally would. This lasted for about an hour, and then the monitors went black again and couldn’t recognize the displaylink connection again.
It’s not a problem with the monitor’s or HDMI cords because I plugged in the HDMI cord from each monitor to the HDMI port on this computer and it picked up connection from both monitors instantly.
Today I tried to plug in my Macbook, and it had the same issue. Both monitor’s did not recognize my macbook. After doing some research today, I came across this help link: https://kb.plugable.com/docking-stations-and-video/373346-my-displaylink-based-dock-or-adapter-is-not-working and followed all of the instructions, but I’m still having the same issue that I’ve been having.
I emailed all the information and the .ZIP file I got from running the diagnostics tool to Pluggable’s customer service email just now so I’m waiting for a response.
Has anyone had a similar issue or does anyone have a possible solution? For now I’m just using 1 monitor by directly connecting the HDMI cord from the monitor into my computer, but I really need 2 monitors to work efficiently for my specific job. I have a feeling that it could be finally crapping out on me, but I wanted to see if I could find a solution before purchasing a new dock. Thanks in advance everyone!
