We’ll be housesitting Tuesday through Thursday in Leander this week and want to use our time up there to check out some restaurants/food trucks, etc. that we wouldn’t normally make it to since we live in waaaaay South Austin and rarely get up there. We’re already planning on lunch at Interstellar on Wednesday, and will hit H Mart for groceries and probably a food court lunch on the way home. What else should we check out in North Austin/it’s suburbs?

2023.06.05 04:34 lilyhample does anyone know what this place is?
okay so back story, i’m 23, about to be 24, and my boyfriend is 28, we’ve been together for 4.5 years. and he was being suspicious about where we’re going for my birthday. but then he reminded me to take off the 8th (my bday) 9th and 10th. i panicked about what we were doing on the 10th bc he said it was an all day thing. but then he said i should be concerned about the day before, because he has to pick out my outfit, and i asked why? and he said your birthday dinner. we usually go to red robins or ihop for my birthday because they have my safe foods. (i have arfid, so i’m extremely picky. so i’m also nervous about not liking the food, when we went to disney, i didn’t like anything they had lol, even tho he thought it was safe. i’m scared this won’t be safe.) he gave me very little clues but i know reddit’s full of no-it-alls🫶🏻 thank you in advance.
i wouldn’t mind a surprise but i need to find something to wear, because he said he would pick out my outfit but doesn’t think i have anything that would work. so i wanted some hints to figure it out. i’m also confused on why he would be paying such an expensive meal when i’m extremely picky.
so here are the hints for where he’s taking me: •super fancy attire -told me i had to wear heels, and a fancy ish dress. •needs reservations, he made his 3 weeks ago. says there might be a waitlist but doesn’t know. •he said (fun) drinks can be around 50$ but this sounds exaggerated. •within 10/15 miles from lindenwold/stratford ish area. •south jersey •heard about it from either vineland coworkers or from a friend that’s closer to the shore •not a chain restaurant. (i asked if it was cheesecake factory bc that’s the fanciest place i know lol) •says i’ll be overwhelmed but happily(?) •not a hotel or by a hotel •told his mom, his mom doesn’t remember what it’s called but she said it’s beautiful in pictures.

2023.06.05 04:33 Tangou-888 The Hoax Story of Remarkable Testimony of a Buddhist monk in Myanmar (Burma) (Part III)
___________________________________________________ Taken from http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2008/12/14/when_jesus_met_buddha/ for the intellectual discussion purposely. Not for commercial gain When Jesus met Buddha Something remarkable happened when evangelists for two great religions crossed paths more than 1,000 years ago: they got along By Philip Jenkins December 14, 2008 While few mainline Christians would put the matter in such confrontational terms, any religion claiming exclusive access to truth has real difficulties reconciling other great faiths into its cosmic scheme. Most Christian churches hold that Jesus alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and many also feel an obligation to carry that message to the world's unbelievers. But this creates a fundamental conflict with the followers of famous spiritual figures like Mohammed or Buddha, who preached radically different messages. Drawing on a strict interpretation of the Bible, some Christians see these rival faiths as not merely false, but as deliberate traps set by the forces of evil. Being intolerant of other religions - consigning them to hell, in fact - may be bad enough in its own right, but it increasingly has real- world consequences. As trade and technology shrink the globe, so different religions come into ever-closer contact with one another, and the results can be bloody: witness the apocalyptic assaults in Mumbai. In such a world, teaching different faiths to acknowledge one another's claims, to live peaceably together side by side, stops being a matter of good manners and becomes a prerequisite for human survival. Over the past 30 years, the Roman Catholic Church has faced repeated battles over this question of Christ's uniqueness, and has cracked down on thinkers who have made daring efforts to accommodate other world religions. While the Christian dialogue with Islam has attracted most of the headlines, it is the encounters with Hinduism and especially Buddhism that have stirred the most controversy within the church. Sri Lankan theologians Aloysius Pieris and Tissa Balasuriya have had many run-ins with Vatican critics, and, more recently, the battle has come to American shores. Last year, the Vatican ordered an investigation of Georgetown University's Peter Phan, a Jesuit theologian whose main sin, in official eyes, has been to treat the Buddhism of his Vietnamese homeland as a parallel path to salvation. Following the ideas of Pope Benedict XVI, though, the church refuses to give up its fundamental belief in the unique role of Christ. In a widely publicized open letter to Italian politician Marcello Pera, Pope Benedict declared that "an inter-religious dialogue in the strict sense of the term is not possible." By all means, he said, we should hold conversations with other cultures, but not in a way that acknowledges other religions as equally valid. While the Vatican does not of course see the Buddha as a demon, it does fear the prospect of syncretism, the dilution of Christian truth in an unholy mixture with other faiths. Beyond doubt, this view places Benedict in a strong tradition of Christianity as it has developed in Europe since Roman times. But there is another, ancient tradition, which suggests a very different course. Europe's is not the only version of the Christian faith, nor is it necessarily the oldest heir of the ancient church. For more than 1,000 years, other quite separate branches of the church established thriving communities across Asia, and in their sheer numbers, these churches were comparable to anything Europe could muster at the time. These Christian bodies traced their ancestry back not through Rome, but directly to the original Jesus movement of ancient Palestine. They moved across India, Central Asia, and China, showing no hesitation to share - and learn from - the other great religions of the East. Just how far these Christians were prepared to go is suggested by a startling symbol that appeared on memorials and stone carvings in both southern India and coastal China during the early Middle Ages. We can easily see that the image depicts a cross, but it takes a moment to realize that the base of the picture - the root from which the cross is growing - is a lotus flower, the symbol of Buddhist enlightenment. In modern times, most mainstream churches would condemn such an amalgam as a betrayal of the Christian faith, an example of multiculturalism run wild. Yet concerns about syncretism did not bother these early Asian Christians, who called themselves Nasraye, Nazarenes, like Jesus's earliest followers. They were comfortable associating themselves with the other great monastic and mystical religion of the time, and moreover, they believed that both lotus and cross carried similar messages about the quest for light and salvation. If these Nazarenes could find meaning in the lotus-cross, then why can't modern Catholics, or other inheritors of the faith Jesus inspired? Many Christians are coming to terms with just how thoroughly so many of their fundamental assumptions will have to be rethought as their faith today becomes a global religion. Even modern church leaders who know how rapidly the church is expanding in the global South tend to see European values and traditions as the indispensable norm, in matters of liturgy and theology as much as music and architecture. Yet the reality is that Christianity has from its earliest days been an intercontinental faith, as firmly established in Asia and Africa as in Europe itself. When we broaden our scope to look at the faith that by 800 or so stretched from Ireland to Korea, we see the many different ways in which Christians interacted with other believers, in encounters that reshaped both sides. At their best, these meetings allowed the traditions not just to exchange ideas but to intertwine in productive and enriching ways, in an awe-inspiring chapter of Christian history that the Western churches have all but forgotten. To understand this story, we need to reconfigure our mental maps. When we think of the growth of Christianity, we think above all of Europe. We visualize a movement growing west from Palestine and Syria and spreading into Greece and Italy, and gradually into northern regions. Europe is still the center of the Catholic Church, of course, but it was also the birthplace of the Protestant denominations that split from it. For most of us, even speaking of the "Eastern Church" refers to another group of Europeans, namely to the Orthodox believers who stem from the eastern parts of the continent. English Catholic thinker Hilaire Belloc once proclaimed that "Europe is the Faith; and the Faith is Europe." But in the early centuries other Christians expanded east into Asia and south into Africa, and those other churches survived for the first 1,200 years or so of Christian history. Far from being fringe sects, these forgotten churches were firmly rooted in the oldest traditions of the apostolic church. Throughout their history, these Nazarenes used Syriac, which is close to Jesus' own language of Aramaic, and they followed Yeshua, not Jesus. No other church - not Roman Catholics, not Eastern Orthodox - has a stronger claim to a direct inheritance from the earliest Jesus movement. The most stunningly successful of these eastern Christian bodies was the Church of the East, often called the Nestorian church. While the Western churches were expanding their influence within the framework of the Roman Empire, the Syriac-speaking churches colonized the vast Persian kingdom that ruled from Syria to Pakistan and the borders of China. From their bases in Mesopotamia - modern Iraq - Nestorian Christians carried out their vast missionary efforts along the Silk Route that crossed Central Asia. By the eighth century, the Church of the East had an extensive structure across most of central Asia and China, and in southern India. The church had senior clergy - metropolitans - in Samarkand and Bokhara, in Herat in Afghanistan. A bishop had his seat in Chang'an, the imperial capital of China, which was then the world's greatest superpower. When Nestorian Christians were pressing across Central Asia during the sixth and seventh centuries, they met the missionaries and saints of an equally confident and expansionist religion: Mahayana Buddhism. Buddhists too wanted to take their saving message to the world, and launched great missions from India's monasteries and temples. In this diverse world, Buddhist and Christian monasteries were likely to stand side by side, as neighbors and even, sometimes, as collaborators. Some historians believe that Nestorian missionaries influenced the religious practices of the Buddhist religion then developing in Tibet. Monks spoke to monks. In presenting their faith, Christians naturally used the cultural forms that would be familiar to Asians. They told their stories in the forms of sutras, verse patterns already made famous by Buddhist missionaries and teachers. A stunning collection of Jesus Sutras was found in caves at Dunhuang, in northwest China. Some Nestorian writings draw heavily on Buddhist ideas, as they translate prayers and Christian services in ways that would make sense to Asian readers. In some texts, the Christian phrase "angels and archangels and hosts of heaven" is translated into the language of buddhas and devas. One story in particular suggests an almost shocking degree of collaboration between the faiths. In 782, the Indian Buddhist missionary Prajna arrived in Chang'an, bearing rich treasures of sutras and other scriptures. Unfortunately, these were written in Indian languages. He consulted the local Nestorian bishop, Adam, who had already translated parts of the Bible into Chinese. Together, Buddhist and Christian scholars worked amiably together for some years to translate seven copious volumes of Buddhist wisdom. Probably, Adam did this as much from intellectual curiosity as from ecumenical good will, and we can only guess about the conversations that would have ensued: Do you really care more about relieving suffering than atoning for sin? And your monks meditate like ours do? These efforts bore fruit far beyond China. Other residents of Chang'an at this very time included Japanese monks, who took these very translations back with them to their homeland. In Japan, these works became the founding texts of the great Buddhist schools of the Middle Ages. All the famous movements of later Japanese history, including Zen, can be traced to one of those ancient schools and, ultimately - incredibly - to the work of a Christian bishop. By the 12th century, flourishing churches in China and southern India were using the lotus-cross. The lotus is a superbly beautiful flower that grows out of muck and slime. No symbol could better represent the rise of the soul from the material, the victory of enlightenment over ignorance, desire, and attachment. For 2,000 years, Buddhist artists have used the lotus to convey these messages in countless paintings and sculptures. The Christian cross, meanwhile, teaches a comparable lesson, of divine victory over sin and injustice, of the defeat of the world. Somewhere in Asia, Yeshua's forgotten followers made the daring decision to integrate the two emblems, which still today forces us to think about the parallels between the kinds of liberation and redemption offered by each faith. Christianity, for much of its history, was just as much an Asian religion as Buddhism. Asia's Christian churches survived for more than a millennium, and not until the 10th century, halfway through Christian history, did the number of Christians in Europe exceed that in Asia. What ultimately obliterated the Asian Christians were the Mongol invasions, which spread across Central Asia and the Middle East from the 1220s onward. From the late 13th century, too, the world entered a terrifying era of climate change, of global cooling, which severely cut food supplies and contributed to mass famine. The collapse of trade and commerce crippled cities, leaving the world much poorer and more vulnerable. Intolerant nationalism wiped out Christian communities in China, while a surging militant Islam destroyed the churches of Central Asia. But awareness of this deep Christian history contributes powerfully to understanding the future of the religion, as much as its past. For long centuries, Asian Christians kept up neighborly relations with other faiths, which they saw not as deadly rivals but as fellow travelers on the road to enlightenment. Their worldview differed enormously from the norms that developed in Europe. To take one example, we are used to the idea of Christianity operating as the official religion of powerful states, which were only too willing to impose a particular orthodoxy upon their subjects. Yet when we look at the African and Asian experience, we find millions of Christians whose normal experience was as minorities or even majorities within nations dominated by some other religion. Struggling to win hearts and minds, leading churches had no option but to frame the Christian message in the context of non-European intellectual traditions. Christian thinkers did present their message in the categories of Buddhism - and Taoism, and Confucianism - and there is no reason why they could not do so again. When modern scholars like Peter Phan try to place Christianity in an Asian and Buddhist context, they are resuming a task begun at least 1,500 years ago. Perhaps, in fact, we are looking at our history upside down. Some day, future historians might look at the last few hundred years of Euro- American dominance within Christianity and regard it as an unnatural interlude in a much longer story of fruitful interchange between the great religions. Consider the story told by Timothy, a patriarch of the Nestorian church. Around 800, he engaged in a famous debate with the Muslim caliph in Baghdad, a discussion marked by reason and civility on both sides. Imagine, Timothy said, that we are all in a dark house, and someone throws a precious pearl in the midst of a pile of ordinary stones. Everyone scrabbles for the pearl, and some think they've found it, but nobody can be sure until day breaks. In the same way, he said, the pearl of true faith and wisdom had fallen into the darkness of this transitory world; each faith believed that it alone had found the pearl. Yet all he could claim - and all the caliph could say in response - was that some faiths thought they had enough evidence to prove that they were indeed holding the real pearl, but the final truth would not be known in this world. Knowing other faiths firsthand grants believers an enviable sophistication, founded on humility. We could do a lot worse than to learn from what we sometimes call the Dark Ages.

2023.06.05 04:05 HighHornet Chicago is unknown abroad for its large Mexican population
I visited Mexico City for the second and other US tourists seem to be completely unaware that Chicago has a large Mexican population. I've been asked by people from South Carolina, Texas, California, and other cities whether there is any good Mexican food in Chicago. One even asked me if there are any restaurants that serve pozole. They seem to be totally surprised to learn that Chicago has one of the largest Mexican populations in the USA.
Is it because we fall into the stereotype that the Midwest lacks diversity?
Any thoughts of why this phenomenon occurs?

2023.06.05 04:02 gm33 Gluten-Free dinner options?
Hi! Looking for a nice gluten-free restaurant in SD, either seafood or Italian (no meat).
I did "find me gluten free", but either underwhelmed by the options or couldn't find GF menu online. Many of the options either only had a few meat items labled or didn't actually use GF products to make GF pasta dishes. I'm hoping to crowd source some options!
Critera: - Not too fancy but not overly fast-food or casual
- Something mostly chill/quiet for a nice relaxing evening
- Must have GF and vegetarian or pescetarian options for the same dish.
- If italian has pasta, non-meat options prepared GF (like eggplant parm)
- If seafood has seafood options that are prepared GF (like fish dishes with veggies)
- Bonus for specific GF-made desserts like GF cakes.
Thank you so much!

As far as the rating, it has a C for two reasons-1) I had to modify this pen because Maiora messed up bad. I replaced the original screw in the cap with a flat one because you could not completely close the cap without damaging the nib. 2) The nib plating has come off around the nib slit: I'm thinking the Maiora plating is not so great. | $95 |

2023.06.05 03:48 AccomplishedCrazy_1 AITA for making the new girl work the night shift?
This happened a while ago and it hasn't left my mind. I work in an Italian restaurant in Manhattan as a cashierunner. Recently, a new girl, Lisa, was hired as the cashierunner for the night shift which sometimes I would work because they were understaffed. On Lisa’s first day, I worked a double shift because the manager wanted me to make sure she was doing alright and in case she had any questions and overall to make sure things ran smoothly since Saturday nights were some of the busiest times.
Everything goes fine, it’s an unusually slow Saturday evening, and we finish early. Lisa says as we’re changing to leave that she doesn’t like working so late at night. I told her whichever days she could work the day shift, I would be alright with working the nights. She just had to tell the manager so he could arrange the schedule. She did and he asked me if working nights Fridays and Saturdays was okay for me and I said yes.
Now, our schedule is emailed to us the Wednesday or Thursday for the following week. And Lisa’s first week, my schedule was already set for all day shifts and there weren’t any changes to it. I assumed I’d begin working Friday and Saturday night shifts the next week. Well, Friday, day shift, my manager tells me Saturday, the next day, I will be working the night shift. I was confused because I was scheduled for the day shift and I already had plans for Saturday night. I was even going to ask to leave a bit early.
I have really bad anxiety, so I was confused and panicking a bit since I didn’t want to come off as rude or anything, but I also had plans for the following night which I’d made with my friend three months ago. I let my manager know that on my schedule, I was set for all day shifts, and although he can count on me to work as late as needed almost every day, I had important plans I could not postpone, especially on such a short notice.
My manager understood and told me I could leave an hour early, and one of my coworkers would come in early to cover for me. He told me to just let Lisa know I would work that morning. Lisa was coming in late for the night shift which was making me more anxious because I wanted to be sure everything was okay. When she came in and I clocked out, I let her know the situation. Lisa said she couldn't work night either. I let our manager know this so we could come up with a solution. He simply said that Lisa had to come in for the night shift and he would speak to her.
I came in the next morning like usual, changed, clocked in, and began to open inside and outside. About ten minutes later, my coworker comes out to tell me Lisa arrived and was about to clock in when our manager stopped her. I don’t know what they talked about, but she left and I felt bad.
I couldn't postpone the plans I had and already mentioned them to my manager on some occasions. Was I an a-hole?

Are you happy? Anything you miss? Considering moving out of the state in the next month or two, and while I really think NJ has a lot of great qualities, I just overpay to live in suburban south jersey and I’m not getting anything out of life to justify the price of everything, especially rent.

2023.06.05 03:01 PurrrrrrE Feeling hopeless and spiraling
I (m21) have been numbing my emotions with Orange is the New Black since the second I woke up this morning. I mean at 8 am, I woke up, rolled over, and immediately opened Netflix and it has been playing all throughout my day. This is so low vibe of me, I feel incredibly embarrassed. I am sad about a close romantic situationship coming to an end, but I don't know how to feel it or properly close it. I am also prepping to finish college next semester at a university that is about 3 hours away. I have not registered for classes, I have not taken out a loan, I have not found an apartment, and I have not picked a major. I have been mentally stimulated by this show all day long. If I'm not distracting myself with a show, it's a man or weed. I am a loser. I wish I could be this positive loving person that's full of light and radiates good energy to everyone I come in contact with. But how can I do that if I can't even sort my life out? I am having serious doubts about moving. Why uproot my life for something I'm not even sure I want to do? As I look around for apartments within my budget, almost every one has complaints about roaches, crime, bad staff, etc. I finally thought I found one but I looked at the reviews and saw the same problems. This was my final straw, weeks of buildup just let out into this meltdown. I haven't sobbed like this in months but I just feel so lost, helpless, pathetic. On top of this, I absolutely hate my haircut and I feel really insecure and ugly. I can't see my way out of this mess. I don't want to go to this college, live in a roach-infested apartment, work in a restaurant, and scrape by. I am so lonely and heartbroken while also having to make the most important decisions of my life and I'm running out of time. I am truly directionless.

2023.06.05 02:58 BreakingTheIce73 Sugar Daddy for Sugar Baby in Louisiana (Open to Arkansas, Mississippi, or Texas)
Clarification Note
- This is a new post format I am trying out on different platforms.
- I am going to be more direct in this post, that said if you do not fit the criteria in my post please do not contact me unless you're seeking friendship.
- I am interested in a sugaring dynamic added to BDSM, this takes time. If you want a buyer or a John please avoid me.
- If you're out of country, refer to the first note.
Special Note
It's Sunday. If you're still hung over, and or still going to have your fun take care of yourself - eat some protein and drink plenty of water. If you have an extreme headache and over the counter meds aren't helping and you're still wanting to be a masochist cayenne pepper mixed with warm water will do the trick. Aside from that, if you do not read this entire post I'll know.
Side Note
If you're curious to get to know me, just ask.
All about what I am looking for and offer
- Age range 18 - 28.
- Good Hygiene, you can take care of yourself mentally and physically.
- CIS Female
- Body Type Preference: Slim/Petite to average and or curvy.
- Switches, Switchtastic times are the best times. Slaves, littles, and subs are nice as well though.
- Positive influence, that goes both ways in expectancy.
- Conversation, if you hit me with the ole buy meh nudes I will meme you. If you hit me with with the ole Daddy comment imma hit you with the worst site I can think of which is currently omegle.
- Gamers - preferably a female but if you're a guy and do competitive gaming I am open to a mutually beneficial arrangement in the realm of gaming.
- You're in Louisiana, yes this unfortunately dead state it seems. But if you're in the surrounding states I am open to it.
- Adrenaline junkie - We only have one life, might as well test it a little by zip lining or jumping out of a plane together.
- An Adult, if you've attempted to meet and or have met someone from here or other platforms you know what I am speaking of.
- BDSM, be into it and or open to being guided in it.
- Kinky Oranges, this better be in your first message to me.
Dynamics I align with best
Equal Ownership
Master to slave
Daddy to little
Owner to pet
Care Giver to little
Payment Methods I work with
- Google pay (primary option)
- Amazon Wish List (secondary only, meant for gifts)
- Gift Cards (secondary only, meant for gifts)
- The Dollar (because reddit doesn't like the C word for some reason) (primary option)
- Ko-fi's site (primary option)
- CA (primary option)
- Open to other alternatives if asked.
How my arrangement works
This is meant to be long term, it's going to take time to establish a connection and trust. If you're expecting to talk to me for 2 hours and get 400$ it's not going to happen. Ironically, I was scammed last month out of a starting trial period with a real person for 400$ after speaking to that person for two weeks. I don't always take two weeks to get to know someone but it depends on the vibes. For additional context, I believe this platform does not like the discussion of allowances in post so I will be omitting the allowance amounts from all stages.
Consideration
Where you and I will be when you decide to reach out to me. We'll get to know the other from our vanilla life to our experience in the kink life, learning of the others limitations and interest. At some point I am going to prompt us both to do a SFW verification via call and or picture exchange. Silverware is a thing so don't be surprised if I prompt for something random. I will likely prompt for at least 1 - 2 calls, if we mesh then we mesh. If we don't then we can agree for friendship or parting ways.
If in Louisiana - The above will take place first, then an initial meet to a restaurant will be prompted. I will cover all expenses, and if needed support travel. If we mesh we mesh, if we do not mesh we can part ways and or maintain a friendship.
Trial
In this stage, we've agreed we mesh in chemistry and wish to push forward.
This is a two week trial. In this trial a light core dynamic will begin, I will take on the Dominant role regardless if you're a switch or not. I expect moderate time to be given while we continue to engage with the other. This will include a bare basic rule system to give a glimpse of interest in real time, light NSFW play, and establishing further trust in the other.
If in Louisiana - The above will likely be online. Meets to restaurants and or events will be expected. This is SFW.
Training
In this stage, we've agreed we still mesh in kink and chemistry and wish to push forward.
This will continue into a two week allowance arrangement with occasional gifts. The allowance will be raised from the trial period. This stage will consist through a time span of 2 - 6 months. I will maintain the Dominant role at least for the start dependent on our interest for dynamics. This will be a true start to a generic Dom / sub dynamic that will merge into others as time passes with moderate rules and guidance both in kink and your life as I wish to push you toward your goals. NFSW and SFW.
If in Louisiana - I do expect regular meets which will be determined together, it will be SFW and NSFW for scene play and or sessions along with outtings. Sadistic Pineapples better be in your first message.
If out of state - Semi regular to regular meets are expected. Travel will be covered. First meet will be SFW if you are uncomfortable for anything beyond.
Formal
We've established that we're both in it for the long run. We will either maintain two week allowance periods or weekly allowance periods dependent on what we're looking for. Gifts are regular. A true formality collar is introduced, if you're interested I also have a role play based BDSM contract. A true dynamic will be established between us with my full list of rules, guidance and scene play.

2023.06.05 01:39 Nero18785 ArmChair Genetics
Claim:
Southern Italians ; they look what their genetics indicates, which is a mixture of south-central European and West Asian.
Response:
"Modern Southern Italians are closer to Southern European Neolithic and Bronze Age samples than most modern Peloponnesian groups, with the exception of the Deep Mani and Taygetos individuals (Fig. S5B). That is consistent with a stable European population structure for thousands of years. Modern European populations to a large extent reflect their Neolithic and Bronze Age origins."
"
Interestingly, a substantial proportion of Sicilians (between ∼ 16 to ∼ 30%), are part of a cluster which includes Northern and Central Italian areas (cl. 9), and is absent in Greece and Peloponnese." "
However, when the affinity of Italian groups with African and Middle Eastern populations was tested, Southern Italians resulted not significantly closer to any of the two (Table S4)." "
both Italian groups are closer to French than to Middle Easterners. Looking at the actual data, rather than the breathless text, we see that Southern Italians have a Fst of 0.003 with French and 0.005 with CEU (Northwest Europeans from Utah) but 0.006 to Palestinian, 0.008 to Druze, and 0.011 to Bedouin. Thus, the Southern Italians were genetically closer to even Utah Mormons than to Levantine Palestinians, and much closer to French.
Further, the Fst between Northern and Southern Italians in this study was only 0.001 – the same as between Northern Italians and French!" https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.02.26.482072v1.full https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0043759 submitted by

2023.06.05 01:35 Savanty 27M in Manhattan NYC, can I find something better?
Hi there! My lease is ending in a few months, and considering a move elsewhere.
I’m 27M, live in NYC (Manhattan), single, working remotely and making ~$115k per year. With remote work, can live anywhere.
Current place, in NYC:
- I like the amenities of NYC; cool being able to walk anywhere and restaurants/shops nearby, and parks
- A lot of friends are nearby, either in NYC or nearby in New Jersey (and also Philly)
- No car or associated payment, saving $250-400/mo
- Paying $3,400 for a 1br, which is insane, and 50-55% of my take home pay. Too much!
- I rent an average apartment -- nice enough, but I do laundry in the basement, etc.
- 'Local taxes' for living in NYC are ~$350/mo ($4,200/yr)
I'm looking for one of two polar opposites:
- A less-expensive, large-ish walkable city in the NE (possibly elsewhere), don't need a car, able to meet other people around my age
- A bit more suburban, but want a 'Main Street' and downtown rather than suburban dystopia, should be notably less expensive than a big-city alternative, may get a car
I enjoy bouldering (indoor rock-climbing), hiking, a craft beer scene, being within walking distance of a 'downtown' with restaurants & shops (small or large). Friendly people. Prefer to not need a car (along a train line is best), but willing to get one. Being fairly close to a big airport would be ideal.
I've done a bit of research, considering Yonkers, Philly, Morristown, Asbury Park, Hackensack, Jersey City/Hoboken. Also smaller areas in NJ, northern NY along the Hudson, and parts of CT, figuring out the trade-off between 'being close to friends / family' + 'how interesting the area is' + 'cost of living in that area'.
Your suggestions may literally impact where I choose to live next. Please let me know if you have any thoughts and suggestions. Moved around 3-4 different states in the past years, and still want to find the right fit. Thanks in advance, for any suggestions you might have.

2023.06.05 01:34 ExterminAiden Unaware accent difference
I am from Maryland and am visiting Texas. Maryland I feel is kind of in the middle of the East Coast, but when going to a restaurant a waitress said they could tell I wasn’t around there because I sound like I’m from the North. The thing is while down in Texas I have seen very little people with the strong apparent Southern accent. Of course I have seen some such as at a rodeo but most sound like myself, at least in my head. I was wondering what differences was she speaking of and why am I not noticing?
TLDR: I am visiting the South from the “North” and can’t tell a difference and am wondering what am I missing.

2023.06.05 01:27 VictorGiannaccini Do you know somewhere in need of staff?
Hi guys,
I’ve been here in Zurich since a month ago.
Long story short: came here from Ireland to work at an italian restaurant in Thalwil, had the worst experience of all my life. 🤦🏻♂️
I have experience in two different fields: Sales/Accounting and I have also been a chef de partie for 2 years. 👨🏻🍳👨🏻💻
Able to speak english/italian/spanish and portuguese. All of them fluently. Unfortunately, I’m still in the process to learn german.
====Could anyone recommend me any place that I could go to get a job without speaking german? I’m in need of it (for obvious reasons; Switzerland!)=====
Swear that I’m going to a lot of places, applying for a lot of jobs, going personally to restaurants and all. But all these positions seems to be impossible to get without speaking german. I wish I had at least some time to get the chance to learn 😐😐
Appreciate all help in advance guys, Thanks!
