I put on happy weight when I entered my relationship two years ago. Went from being a dancer on my feet literally working out 8 hours a day to serving and now to a very sedentary job. I knew I had gained some and began working out off and on about a year ago. My last weigh in was 146 over a month ago and i made some serious diet changes, not making myself hungry but cutting bread almost entirely, avoiding sweets, I already had a pretty good diet so it was more about portion control which I am working on. But then today - after a 12 hour fast for the test - I weighed in at 154. My highest number EVER. Im a big advocate of ignore the scale, focus on how you feel but frankly, i dont feel good either. I tried on pants in two stores this week and hated ALL OF THEM. I am 32 and 5’3 and just feeling so lost and discouraged. My fiancé is fit and sexy and loves me as i am but I am so scared of this downward trend continuing especially if/when we have kids. I just want to love the way I look or at least be ok with it. I end up in leggings or sweatpants because i feel like my body doesnt look good. Found out i could have hypothyroid after an ultrasound and the bloodwork today will clarify which i guess would be a relief to know its not me its my hormones, but what if its not that? Just needed to vent idk will read and appreciate any kind words or advice you wonderful people always offer.

4M 13kg, 97 cm had acute bronchitis, on Seretide inhaler (flixotide inhaler previously) Hi everyone.. looking for some advice. My son (4yrs in August) have had back to back viruses since he started preschool in Feb this year and a bout of acute bronchitis (caused by RSV and adenovirus) where he had to be hospitalised in April. Since then he has been coughing everyday but only in the mornings when he just wakes up and in middle of the night. It sounds dry and it’s quite short maybe around or less than 5 mins. He doesn’t cough otherwise during the day except maybe after he wakes up from his nap. Cough generally sounds dry. Doesn’t show much exercise intolerance maybe the occasional cough after running a lot. Can jump around and climb flights of stairs with no issues. He did an impulse oscillometry test today to rule out asthma- it doesn’t show asthma but shows some airway resistance. Bear in mind he is quite little so not sure whether he did the test properly.
He has been quite a long course of antibiotics of almost 2 months when he had back to back viruses as his ENT suspected sinusitis. While he had bronchitis he was on antibiotics and nebulisers (ventolin, atrovent and budescort) and singulair. After the bronchitis subsided he was put on a flixotide inhaler. But since his cough is still there and seems a bit more frequent the dr has switched him to the Seretide inhaler with singulair. The dr says if this inhaler doesn’t stop his cough she might have to do a ct scan for as she suspects bronchiecstatis / bronchiolitis obliterants. We are really hoping to avoid a CT Scan because of the radioactive exposure since he is so young. Any advice ? Should we seek a second opinion? Any help much appreciated - we are quite worried as both conditions are no walk in the park.

I have ibs c and when my prescription amitiza and motegrity aren't enough to relieve constipation, i usually have 2-6 sucralose packets, and sometimes that's enough to help. If it is not enough, then I usually have to take 8 miralax to get anything moving.
Does anyone know any good alternatives to sucralose for a laxative effect (that doesn't taste as bad as miralax lol)? I can't use lactulose, I was prescribed that before but it caused a lot of gas and dissension for me and increased pain and vomiting. I have sorbitol at home, so I'm going to use that for now. It did used to work for me when I'd put 5 spoonfuls of sorbitol in tea. I don't want to use prune juice as it takes 2 large bottles to help me use the bathroom and that's not cost effective daily for me and I do not love the taste lol. So yeah, any other sweet/okay tasting stuff that you've found mildly helps constipation? Maybe fructose? I'm not sure if that can be bought...

You all probably know the Bible verses that say gay people should be put to death. A lot of people still cite those verses to justify homophobia, but why are those people just against gay marriage or in favor of don’t say gay bills? The text clearly says to kill gay people.
I don’t think you can just say ‘Jesus abolished that’, because Jesus said he came not to abolish but to fulfill, and the death penalty for homosexuality was the law on the books in many Christian countries like America and the UK until the 1800s.

Engine: LV148EA-334048C - Tecumseh Engine
Issue: Pull cord gets stuck and too hard to pull at compression stroke
Checked out:

• spark good
• pull cord good
• camshaft/crankshaft appears to be good?
• I also tried pouring some oil in the spark plug hole to loosen things up but didn't work
• Put a wrench to the flywheel to confirm that it freezes up during the compression stroke and becomes really hard to turn over although it can with enough force.

When I take the spark plug out and pull the cord it pulls normal without any issues, once the spark plug is in there it becomes almost impossible to pull during then compression stroke.
I took it apart a little bit and looked at the camshaft and crankshaft etc. There wasn't really any metal shavings in there and looking at the parts everything seems fine. However this engine confuses me because the camshaft doesn't have a spring on it like briggs and stratton ones do. Those have the little lever for the compression release, so I'm wondering how this engine does it? Also what in the world could be causing this because everything seems fine.

This text is only for single man without kids, who searchs for wife. You can be Christian (practicing or not) or atheist.
Important, CHAT DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. I can't see and reply to chat requests, can't fix it. Text to letter section. How to do that? Open my profile > More options > Send message. Not chat but message.
I'm a single female from Ukraine (can meet with you in another country, more safe for you). I search for a single childless man older than 35 (older- better) for a serious relationship, first without physical aspects. Your age and appearance are not important. I wish you are self-employed, your own master and boss or digital nomad who is not bended strongly with certain place of living or office shedual but that is not a strict demand.
Sometimes men expect physical aspects very fast and leave fast if not get it soon. In my opinion, this means the first interest was not in the relationship itself but in these aspects. That's why I want to find a relationship first without it. So I can be sure that a man stays near me because he really likes me, not for physical satisfaction itself. That means not only one sphere of relationship. People divide into 2 groups. Those who give more than take and opposite. Wishing to gain satisfaction fast leads to frustration and disappointment.
I have got few marriage offers in the past, but felt that they were not serious because the men were too young, not well settled and made these offers trying to gain something. Being not a young girl, I still wait for a right person—a man who will be happy staying with me and will do everything for me by his own wish. Sounds too vanilla? Yes, I am a dreamer.
If things work, I can relocate to you or to invite you to live in Ukraine after the war ends. If you are able to set up app called telegram for chat and meet in real life before autumn, then please text me. I prefer well written letter that was sent in inbox letters, not in chat requests.
Now more detaily about me. Never been married, no kids (will not have in the nearest time and probably a childfree), no pets . Was raised in small village at farmer's house (the nature was great but didn't like the hard working lifestyle) and prefer city life. I don't smoke, don't drink alcohol . You will not have to suffer dealing with numerous people around me because I don't have friends (people disappear when interests and lifestyles become different) and my family is very small. I don't visit bars, clubs or parties and not addicted to social networks. As an introvert, I can't open to someone fast because have been cheated by those whom trusted. Life teaches, only real actions show the true person's intentions, not just his words.
About two negative moments. The first is my passivity. I was raised in a culture where it was considered vulgar if a woman is too active in the path of creating a relationship. Yes, it is obvious that active women will get success sooner than passive one but I can't change myself and prefer the one who will take initiative and will be just classic old-fashioned gentleman.
The second negative moment is that being introverted, I totally dislike situation when I have to contact with unknown people, especially with men, especially in field of relationship. That sounds not logical because how can someone know anyone if he/she doesn't like starting this contact? There is only one solution for me. I can start contact only if I have already got very detailed information about person so this makes illusion that he is already not a stranger. Most of men send short message, expecting that I will ask many questions trying to find out his personality. The truth is that I will not do it. Yes, you can call me bad for that, but I will reply only to well written detailed letter from someone who will not make me to ask many questions but will write proper letter with basic information by himself. Man's appearance means nothing for me, but what he says and what is more important, what he does - that's important.
That were negative moments. Obviously, there are much more of them but I'll let you discover size of all iceberg by yourself. Thanks for reading.
P.S. Please, be patient and don't expect fast replies, sometimes it is not easy to do due to many reasons. That one who puts efforts in his first letter will get reply faster.
P.S.S. Chat doesn't work correctly and doesn't show messages and requests there. Text only in letters section.

With the news that development of Adventure Mode for the Steam release is progressing along, I figure some people may want to download the original version to give it a try ahead of the graphics update. As someone with hundreds of hours in adventure mode (there are literally dozens of us!) I thought I would share some of the biggest tips and tricks I've learned. I'll probably be making this into a video once the official release is out and I can get footage with graphics, but until then I'm posting the script I have now here. The rest of this post contains spoilers for every phase of adventure mode, so turn back now if you want to discover all of this for yourself!
Beginner

1. Always have food

-Large stacks of vegetables can be found in containers in human towns. Meat can be gathered from butchered animals. Meat from sentient creatures can’t be eaten.

2. Always have wateale 

-Adventurers need to drink 3-4 times a day. Water skin only holds 3 water, so it is useless. Bags hold 40 and Backpacks hold 100 which is too heavy for most adventurers. Quivers hold 20, which is the perfect amount. Fill quivers with water at rivers or wells.

3. Equip armor 

-Armor and weapons can be found in the barracks of each town. Try to get iron or steel if possible. Make sure to cover the head, neck, torso, legs, hands, and feet.

4. Get a mount 

-Mounts increase overworld speed which increases the amount of ground that can be covered in one day. This reduces how frequently you need to stop for supplies.

5. Get some pets 

-Companions can be tricky to recruit in the beginning, but pets are a great way to increase survivability. Unlike companions, you can also recruit a very high number of pets immediately. Everything labeled “stray” found within a town can become a pet, from ducks to dogs, and rarely even bears and elephants. Just don’t get too attached, most pets die very fast, or permanently run away after combat. Especially the small ones.

6. Make sure your character can read and swim 

-Most skills can be acquired organically by actions which your adventurer does, but certain skills like reading are never unlocked. Because you need to read slabs or books to learn magic, putting a point in reading at character creation is mandatory. A few points in swimming are also recommended. Even a single tile full of water is enough to drown an adventurer with no swimming skill.

7. Make a young world for less necromancers and more Megabeasts, and an old world for vice-versa 

-World parameters matter. Evil is slightly stronger on average, which means the older a world is, the more likely it is to be infested with Necromancer towers and Goblin Pits. Savagery is just the number of animal people to play as, and beasts is the number of beasts to fight. You want both of these as high as possible, the difficulty is actually easier with more beasts, as you won’t have to travel as far for missions.

8. Don’t be afraid to run if you can’t win 

-Although this is technically a turn based RPG, running away isn’t a button you press, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an option. If you are heavily outnumbered or facing a very strong enemy, don’t be afraid to sprint away and reengage when it is more advantageous to do so. This is better than dying and losing your progress.

9. Don’t swim until you’ve really trained 

-While it may be tempting to take a quick dip in the river, death can be moments away in any body of water. Even at competent and above levels of swimming, your character can only go about 10-20 squares before getting tired, and swimming while tired has a chance to keep your character in the same tile, further increasing their fatigue. This can mean your character drowning even just one square from the shore if you are extremely unlucky.

10. Aim for the neck/head for instant kills 

-Aiming in combat can be extremely beneficial. Lots of minor enemies such as kobolds and bandits can be killed with one solid hit to the neck or head. Using this tactic can make encounters against large groups of enemies much easier.
Intermediate

11. Fast travel to long rest 

-If you are damaged in battle and bleeding out, even if you are faint with mortal wounds, fast traveling via the world map will instantly heal your wounds. This may be considered a bug, but since adventurers cannot currently be healed at hospitals via adventure mode, this is the only way to actually heal. Furthermore, since you can’t fast travel during combat, and because fast traveling doesn’t remove major injuries such as missing limbs, I’d say it’s a pretty balanced feature.

12. Jog whenever possible 

-Whenever not mounted and not in combat, you should set your speed to jog. This will increase your endurance stat naturally over time, increasing your combat prowess while you move around. Just be sure to reset your speed whenever your character drops to the ground from exhaustion to give them a chance to rest. Keep extra water on hand while doing this, as your character will need to drink more. And make sure not to jog into combat, this will increase your character’s chance of becoming exhausted during combat, which severely lowers stats.

13. Create a character that just wants to perform 

-A focused character will always be more proficient in combat, receiving a boost to stats such as accuracy and damage. Fully customizing needs in character creation can make a character that is very easy to keep focused. You can completely remove needs in character creation if you wish, but this will also remove the chance to receive the focused buff. If anything, just be sure to avoid needs that are currently impossible in adventure mode such as “Make romance.”

14. Create a world with legendary metals for better loot 

-The more metals you choose at world generation, the better the loot will be everywhere. This setting can make gearing up in the early game either extremely trivial, or extremely challenging. World age can also affect possible loot, as extremely young worlds will not have created enough armor to make most encounters have meaningful loot.

15. Tell stories of your notable kills 

-Information in dwarf fortress is passed via a rumor system. No matter how many dragons you may slay, when you enter a new town, no one will care because they don’t know who you are. Every time you reach a new town, you should tell the largest group of people you can the stories of every notable encounter you’ve had. Early on you should tell stories of killing bandits, while later on you should focus on just semi-Megabeasts and Megabeasts.

16. Recruit other party members 

-While animal companions are good choices for meat shields early game, you should recruit as many fighters at barracks to adventure with you as possible. The amount of companions you can have at any one time is limited by your current reputation level, which is why it is important to tell everyone you can of your notable kills. Animal companions take up companion slots even though they go over the max cap, so try to transition from lots of animals early on to a small party of adventuring companions in the midgame, and a large number of companions in the endgame. Just be sure to let your companions win some easy battles on their own to level up their skills, otherwise they will die just as easily as animals in fights against Megabeasts. Don’t be surprised if some of your companions get terrified in combat and run away just like animals. If you can, be sure to find them, as they will take up a companion slot if you don’t part ways with them or watch them die. If they die and you don’t see it, they may permanently take up a slot this way. This is a bug and will hopefully be fixed eventually, but be wary of it for now.

17. Become a hearthperson 

-Starting a new character and trying to find quests can be very challenging. Lots of random characters will have various rumors, but won’t know enough details to send you on a proper quest. Lords and ladies however can make you into a hearthperson, and can then give you proper quests. They will only do this if you have enough reputation level though, which is why telling stories is important. Usually it takes a story of a bandit leader kill or higher to get a lord or lady to recruit you. You can bypass this stage and get to quests right away by choosing to start as a hearthperson. Just beware that quests are randomized, and sometimes your first quest will be to kill a megabeast. When this happens, I recommend traveling to another town and becoming hearthperson there.

18. Train your skills early 

-Training skills via active combat can be very deadly. If possible, try to fight large, easy enemies to train all related combat skills as early as possible. If you find a horse for example, you can attack its legs to immobilize it, then spam nonlethal strikes to train your weapon skill. A couple horses with no legs is a brutal but safe way to train up weapons all the way to legendary.

19. Set combat preferences to facilitate training 

-Skills like observation and stats like endurance are very important for late game combat. These skills in particular can be trained incredibly fast with combat preferences. If you set melee combat preferences to close quarters, this will prefer to grapple the enemy over and over again. This means you can move into the enemy repeatedly to quickly train without navigating menus. Doing this without changing preferences can mean your character automatically makes a headshot and kills the enemy before you get the chance to properly level up stats. Just be sure to move away from your legless horses if you get tired, as the lowered stats means that even low risk combat can result in injury.

20. Sneak up to enemies for stealth kills 

-If you want to dispatch of large camps quickly and efficiently, chaining stealth kills can be an easy way to do this. Just press S to toggle sneaking, then try to approach enemies without walking into their cone of vision. Doing this at night can be especially effective, as enemies have greatly reduced perception.
Advanced

21. Get a slashing, piercing, and blunt weapon 

-Some enemies in dwarf fortress are much easier to kill than others. Kobolds and crundles will crumple against most weapons, while things like bronze collosi are much harder to deal with. A good rule of thumb is to keep a slashing, piercing, and blunt weapon on hands at all times. Use slashing against basic targets and undead for quick decapitations, piercing against large organic creatures like giant cheetahs or rocs so that they give into pain (essentially stunlocking them), and blunt against inorganic enemies to crush them (collosi, armored titans, iron men, etc). When in doubt, keep a whip on hand to one shot most enemies. A legendary lasher with a named masterwork whip can easily one shot most things in the game with a heavy attack to the head. This should be considered a bug that will probably be fixed later, but is very fun if you want to RP as a legendary vampire killer. Regardless of weapon choice, weapon skill is equally important. A novice hammer dwarf with a steel war hammer is just as useless against a bronze colossus as a legendary axedwarf with an artifact copper battle axe.

22. Remove your backpack when starting combat 

-Fighting while overencumbered is a death sentence. While fighting above default speed does not reduce the number of frames it takes to swing your weapon, fighting below default speed will add a delay after each swing before you can act again, giving enemies free strikes against you. This is also why fighting prone is ill-advised. However, this mechanic should not dissuade you from overencumbering yourself. Most mounts negate a large (if not all) amount of encumberance. In addition, your character can move anything they can grab, even if it is the entire corpse of a megabeast which weighs multiple tons, it will just take them more frames to haul these items. So long as you store all of your loot in the same backpack, you are always safe from ambushes no matter your encumbrance, as you can remove and drop your backpack as soon as combat starts, which usually takes less frames than it takes for any enemy to move. After combat, your backpack should be where you left it, and you can easily retrieve your haul.

23. Aim for the legs first, then the hands, then the neck 

Aiming for the neck can make weaker enemies trivial, but more proficient enemies will not allow this tactic, and very large enemies will have necks too large to decapitate. An advanced tactic that works against most strong enemies is to aim for the legs first to knock your enemy prone (or wings against flying enemies). Once your enemy is on the ground, their speed is halved, essentially giving you twice as many turns to attack. It is at this point you should aim for their arms, as these hold weapons for humanoids and usually have claws for beasts. Once the legs are taken out and the usage of weapons is disabled, you are much more likely to land a headshot, and in a much safer position to repeatedly spam this attack.

24. Bleed out megabeasts, cut off hydra heads, pummel collosi 

Certain enemies such as Megabeasts are much harder to kill. These should be considered boss fights, and thus have certain kill parameters. Bronze collosi in particular usually need to have every single body part destroyed in order to be killed. Hydras in turn need to have the brain of each head destroyed to die, and will almost always live if one head is alive. Hill titans can vary from nigh unkillable (humanoids made of steel) to killable via literally any damaging attack (blobs made of water), so reading their description is extremely important in dealing with them.

25. Never get hit (level dodge and block) 

-Because major injuries are unhealable, these accumulate over time. This means that the best way to play adventure mode is to never get hit. This may seem like a tall task, but almost all damage is avoidable via dodge and block. If you have a high observation stat, you will be able to dodge or block attacks. While this may automatically succeed against weaker enemies, it has a chance to fail against stronger enemies if not properly leveled, so be sure to train these skills early on. Fighting when focused and not exhausted should ensure that these avoidance abilities work properly. Just don’t try to block an attack you wouldn’t block in real life.

26. Don’t let enemies get a surround 

-Fighting against multiple enemies can be a likely death scenario. If enemies completely surround you, then your character has a greatly reduced chance of automatically dodging or blocking attacks. In addition, moving through an occupied tile in dwarf fortress will roll a die, and the losers will be forced prone, as only one creature can stand in a tile at once. Make sure to set speed to scramble in combat if this happens, get to an unoccupied square, and stand up as quickly as possible. Dodging into an open space in this scenario is a much better option than moving manually if at all possible. This entire scenario can be avoided if you slowly dodge in the same direction as enemies approach you in combat, ensuring that you only fight one at a time, and force the others to tire themselves as they run after you. Striking the legs of as many targets as possible is effective here, as it drastically increases the time it takes for each enemy to reach you.

27. Throw stones to level archery 

-Archery can be very cumbersome to use, as most bolts are too heavy to use without causing constant encumbrance, and training it is very slow and painful, as arrows usually split into stacks of one when fired. However, there is a way to level archery extremely quickly. By throwing something at the same tile you are on, you level your archery skill. You can then pick up the thrown object and throw it again. This is much faster than using arrows. One of the best objects to do this with is coins. As it turns out, coins are actually the best ranged weapon. Coins can be used in combat to great affect. Because dwarf fortress uses the archery stat when throwing items, it calculates the damage of thrown items as if shot from a bow with the same archery proficiency. While this does not do nearly as much damage as bolts themselves, it effectively gives adventurers a way to reliably use ranged weapons without worrying about retrieving ammo, as money can usually be found in multiple stacks of 100 at bandit camps.

28. Use archery against webs/fire 

-While archery is a niche weapon type for most scenarios, it is mandatory against certain titans and most dragons, as well as giant cave spiders. Titans, like spiders can possess the ability to web your adventurer. This stunlocks your character, making any shot a guaranteed hit. Against large enough titans, getting hit with a single shot of web is enough for instant death, as they will squish your head while webbed. Other titans may possess deadly dust or poisonous gas. While some of these effects are benign, breathing others can and will kill your character, and to my knowledge not even fast travel stops this. Fighting fire breathing dragons is an instant kill scenario as well, as they can melt your armor into molten liquid metal, stunlocking your character until they die from the heat. You can attempt to repeatedly jump until you reach a river, but you are certainly dead at this point. The use of archery (or rather, throwing coins) is mandatory at this point. While a few shots may not do anything at first, repeated shots will accumulate damage, and eventually kill or disable the enemy. Just be very careful getting into melee range to finish enemies off after this occurs, as one unlucky web or fire shot can and will still kill you. Avoid looting titans with dust or gas effects until after you leave and return to the area with fast travel to be sure that the gas dissipates.

29. Know the game progression (Kobolds, Bandits, Hearthperson, Semi-Megabeasts, Towers, Megabeasts, Dark Fortresses, Caverns) 

Knowing what you’re doing at any given point can be the difference between life and death. If you’re playing adventure mode without savescumming (which is the only way to play it in the old versions), then you will be making new characters a lot. Knowing the basic progression of where you should go on new characters will make the ultimate goal of raiding the vault and fighting the angel that much easier. Your basic path should be gearing up in towns, training basic combat skills against animals, fighting kobold and bandit camps to level reputation, telling stories to become a hearthperson, doing quests as a hearthperson to further reputation level and combat skills, fighting semimega and Megabeasts to become a legendary hero, raiding towers to find the secrets, raiding dark fortresses to find the vault and slay the angel, and finally using the secrets to delve into the caverns without having to eat or sleep and fighting forgotten beasts there until your character dies. The surface and visiting towns should be considered the early game, raiding sites should be considered the midgame, killing the angel in the vault should be considered the endgame, and roaming the caverns should be considered the postgame. Of course, adventure mode has lots more to offer than just combat, and if you want to learn its ins and outs for yourself, the only way to do that is to jump in and play it.

I’m going to put a GEN 3-4 Alpha trigger in my MR920L with a JG VEX shoe. I reached out to Timney and they advised me to put all internal glock parts in it. What have y’all ran? Thoughts?

I (19M) received bad, unexpected news from my girlfriend(18F). What do I do? So I want to start from the "beginning" because our relationship is not very long. So: I like my girlfriend since the summer of 2021, and she started liking me from the end of 2022. (We have known each other for about 5 years from the current date). She took the "first step" and confessed this to me at the beginning of March 2023. From then on, we started dating. We were very close, and we have been officialy together since 15 May. everything went well, we understand each other, we love each other, of course there are also "arguments", but not so serious as to affect our relationship. sometimes I saw my girlfriend was sad, and I always asked her that. her answer was always like: "no", but I knew her quite well and always wanted to talk to her. she told me that this upset is related to her problems and that she does not want to talk about them. I kept insisting, I kept insisting, but I couldn't do anything, so I gave up and told her that if She ever wants to talk about it, I'm here, present. I always try to make her laugh, to become more “smiling”. She didn't always seem to have this upset, but she was starting to get "sad" more often. and today, June 9, I went to school, we met, everything seemed ok. I got home, we talked again, we sent each other messages, she told me a few more things, and then she said something that I can say just upset me and from here I want to start reading the whole conversation:
her: "I want to talk to you about something. something serious and I don't know if it's that good" me now?" she: "I don't know, if you want I'll tell you now, if not, tonight" me: "tell me now, if you can" she: "ok, I'll write in the notes and come back" me: "since I heard that it's not good, I already want to cry, but I'm waiting here, I have to listen" her: "promise me that you won't cry, nothing, otherwise I won't tell you" me: "you have to tell me" her: "you have to promise me" me: I can't because I might not fulfill my promise, but at least I try her: so I dont want to talk anymore but only for two weeks and you haven't done anything wrong, I'm not mad at you, I'm not doing this to talk to someone else or anything like that. I just want to be "alone" for a bit so I can put my things and thoughts in "order" and I hope you don't get upset and understand me because I'm really not ok and that's the only way I'll be able to be again ok and sorry (She doesn’t want us to talk for 2w- this means exactly when im done with one of the most important exams in my life) Her:and that way you will be able to learn without being distracted Me:love, do you think this is best for you? Her: for both of you that there are 10 days left and you take the exam Me:but are you sure you want to do this? Her: Yes Me: ok, know that I'm always here if you need to talk to someone and I'd be happy to. and I'm sorry that I couldn't help you with anything and maybe I noticed that you were sad and I tried to make you talk if "you don't feel ok", but maybe I didn't try hard enough, sorry Her:why sorry, nothing is your fault, you did everything you could, I really appreciate , so yk Me:still not enough. I hope that in the near future you will be able to discuss anything with me and I'm sorry that you couldn't discuss and want to talk about your "problems" and everything that bothers you and doesn't make you feel good Her:and I hope Me: and I still hope that, in the near future, your problems will be our problems. I know that life is hard sometimes, but together we can make everything easier and together we can overcome all the problems ,and im sorry again. and I will do my best to respect your wish. now I don't feel too well and I want to go to bed.. I'm sorry, and just so you know, I love you and I'm sorry that I couldn't be there for you when you needed me Her:ok, I understand and thanks and I don't want you to think about it because you didn't do anything wrong and you have no reason to feel bad for it and I want you to focus on your studies and the exam, not to think about this thing me:ok, i'll try *seen 5h ago”
Please, i need help. should I leave her like this for 2 weeks so that She becomes ok again? I think she would go deeper into her thoughts and I don't know how good that would be. should i go and try to talk to her?

Sometimes I am simply baffled that such a core functionality seems to be completely missing from SwiftUI out of the box.
I am sure everyone who has a little bit of a custom UI in their app wants to create their own custom dialog, right? A coloured background, some text, an image, maybe even an input field or two, and a couple of action buttons.
I feel like this should have been supported back in iOS13 but seems like it's still missing.
What's the cleanest way to do something like this?
Possible solutions I've thought of so far:

• Make top level view in ZStack and put some CustomDialogView in there, show/hide It with an if statement. I don't like this because, firstly, it's restricted to the parent view so you can't dim the whole background, and second, it doesn't follow the convention to add a dialog with a modifier.
• Follow this SO example but it just seems so much boilerplate code to me. You pretty much have to implement dialog functionality from scratch.

It's so freakin' simple in Android Compose, where you just add a Dialog { /* content */ } inside the root view and all of the presenting/animation/dismissal logic is handled by the system like an ordinary dialog, yet you can customise the content fully, without boundaries.

Important, CHAT DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. I can't see and reply to chat requests, can't fix it. Text to letter section. How to do that? Open my profile > More options > Send message. Not chat but message.
I'm a single female from Ukraine (can meet with you in another country, more safe for you). I search for a single childless man older than 35 (older- better) for a serious relationship, first without physical aspects. Your age and appearance are not important. I wish you are self-employed, your own master and boss or digital nomad who is not bended strongly with certain place of living or office shedual but that is not a strict demand.
Sometimes men expect physical aspects very fast and leave fast if not get it soon. In my opinion, this means the first interest was not in the relationship itself but in these aspects. That's why I want to find a relationship first without it. So I can be sure that a man stays near me because he really likes me, not for physical satisfaction itself. That means not only one sphere of relationship. People divide into 2 groups. Those who give more than take and opposite. Wishing to gain satisfaction fast leads to frustration and disappointment.
I have got few marriage offers in the past, but felt that they were not serious because the men were too young, not well settled and made these offers trying to gain something. Being not a young girl, I still wait for a right person—a man who will be happy staying with me and will do everything for me by his own wish. Sounds too vanilla? Yes, I am a dreamer.
If things work, I can relocate to you or to invite you to live in Ukraine after the war ends. If you are able to set up app called telegram for chat and meet in real life before autumn, then please text me. I prefer well written letter that was sent in inbox letters, not in chat requests.
Now more detaily about me. Never been married, no kids (will not have in the nearest time and probably a childfree), no pets . Was raised in small village at farmer's house (the nature was great but didn't like the hard working lifestyle) and prefer city life. I don't smoke, don't drink alcohol . You will not have to suffer dealing with numerous people around me because I don't have friends (people disappear when interests and lifestyles become different) and my family is very small. I don't visit bars, clubs or parties and not addicted to social networks. As an introvert, I can't open to someone fast because have been cheated by those whom trusted. Life teaches, only real actions show the true person's intentions, not just his words.
About two negative moments. The first is my passivity. I was raised in a culture where it was considered vulgar if a woman is too active in the path of creating a relationship. Yes, it is obvious that active women will get success sooner than passive one but I can't change myself and prefer the one who will take initiative and will be just classic old-fashioned gentleman.
The second negative moment is that being introverted, I totally dislike situation when I have to contact with unknown people, especially with men, especially in field of relationship. That sounds not logical because how can someone know anyone if he/she doesn't like starting this contact? There is only one solution for me. I can start contact only if I have already got very detailed information about person so this makes illusion that he is already not a stranger. Most of men send short message, expecting that I will ask many questions trying to find out his personality. The truth is that I will not do it. Yes, you can call me bad for that, but I will reply only to well written detailed letter from someone who will not make me to ask many questions but will write proper letter with basic information by himself. Man's appearance means nothing for me, but what he says and what is more important, what he does - that's important.
That were negative moments. Obviously, there are much more of them but I'll let you discover size of all iceberg by yourself. Thanks for reading.
P.S. Please, be patient and don't expect fast replies, sometimes it is not easy to do due to many reasons. That one who puts efforts in his first letter will get reply faster.
P.S.S. Chat doesn't work correctly and doesn't show messages and requests there. Text only in letters section.

Happy Friday!!!
Greetings, internet! I am a 26 year-old male from Southern California! I desire a true, real relationship. One where we start out as great friends and it naturally progresses into a great, intimate relationship.
I'm very career-oriented and have a full time job working for the government (ironic, considering my username here). I live very comfortably on my own but figured it would be great to have someone to share this magical journey of life with. I've made posts on here in the past, but I've had more interactions with bots than actual people (seriously, what's with the bots? I'm not interested in your crypto scam 😭)
I'll try my best to describe myself physically here. I'm on the taller side, white, not overweight but not skinny. Probably not the best description but I would be more than happy to exchange pictures over chat!
As for my personality, I am a huge nerd. I love all the typical nerdy things you can think of and would love a woman who shares similar interests, such as video games, Star Wars, Marvel, etc! Though, that is not a requirement either!
As for what I am looking for: I am looking for a woman to share the rest of my life with! I'm not very picky at all when it comes to who I mingle with as I feel I connect pretty well with various people from all walks of life! Just be honest about your intentions! If you do decide to message me, PLEASE be a woman from SoCal, or at least somewhere from or near California and be willing to travel! (If distance becomes an issue, we would both be splitting this responsibility, so let's be realistic about it!)
In your message, send a little about yourself, and include the word "tomato" so I know you read all of this! (I will ignore your message without the word tomato - nothing personal, but I want someone genuine so I need a way to filter out fake people/bots) I like putting faces to names fairly quickly so be ready to exchange photos after we start talking for a bit! Talk soon!

Let me preface this with this is going to long, and how our relationship is currently. We are currently incredibly healthy, strong, and honest with one another. Now, the history. We have been together for a decent amount(not getting overly specific), but the first 6-9 months of our relationship were based on lies. We met on a dating app, and clicked immediately. I was hesitant to call it love, because I had just gotten out of a horrific marriage with a covert narcissist. But my bf hid his addiction. He is an alcoholic(sober for a long time in the present), and his self-loathing, untreated mental illness, and childhood trauma were all carefully hidden. But as soon as we’d have a drink together, it was like an entirely different person. He treated me awfully while drunk, projecting a lot onto me, and it got to point where I put my foot down and told him I was not drinking with him anymore. He then went on a trip to his sisters wedding, and our communication went south. The distance seemed to make him feel safer to be shitty, and as soon as I dropped him off at the airport, he got drunk and downloaded bumble. We had arguments over the phone each time he called, because he was always wasted with his family, and his mother(his abuser) was causing a lot of crap(I could hear her in the background). When he got back, we had a serious talk. He admitted to treating me poorly to get me to leave him, because he didn’t want to break things off himself. I came to the conclusion with my therapist, that I would stay but on the condition that he would go sober. I know he has to want it, but I could not think of anything else, and I didn’t want to leave him. But then he started acting strange. Hiding his phone, the usual signs. I trusted my gut, and asked him point blank to his face if he had been cheating on me. He said no, and I dropped it. The next day, I came to his place to drop something off, and he was passed out in piss on the couch. I picked him up, dragged him to the bed, cleaned him up, and tucked him in. Looking back, I did this with my addict mother when I was a child, and it’s probably why I was so willing to tolerate everything going on. He had no Tylenol for the potential hangover, and I didn’t want to leave him alone like that, so I picked up his phone to use his doordash as I had before his trip. Then I saw the texts, I saw the apps, and I connected the times over everything to every conversation we had. I was angry, i woke him up in a rage. I wish I hadn’t, but I did. He was as callous and defensive as he usually is when wasted, but I wasn’t hearing it. I dragged him to my place to sober up, and refused to speak to him until he was. He did, we talked. I spoke to my therapist about it, she said it was ultimately up to me to decide. I stayed with him, but took several steps back in our relationship. We treated it like we had started dating all over again, because to me, the thing we had before was dead. Several months later, I find out that he had been secretly drinking, and hiding it from me. I logged into his Snapchat from my phone, and checked it. He was messaging a girl again. This time, I was done. Went back and forth through texts so I’d have evidence you cant really get with a heated phone call. Told him I’d help him pack the things he had at my place, but we were done. He came over drunker than I’d ever seen him, and I decided to record the conversation. He never fully believed how he would talk to me when drunk, and I was past the point of saving his feelings. At the end of the fight, once he realized how serious I was, he broke down. He quietly whispered that he didn’t want to lose me. I grew up in a horrifically abusive home, so maybe the survivor in me was too forgiving, but I accepted it. I took him back. But the first thing I did when he sobered up was show him the recording. He was horrified, and the first time in our entire relationship(and according to him and his dad, the first time since he was a child), he broke down crying. I told him I was not giving another chance. That I would not heal or forgive any time soon, but I would not hold it over his head to punish him. He felt genuine remorse, and that’s what makes or breaks a relationship healing from infidelity. We put accountability rules in place, started therapy together, and up to this day he has been nothing but consistent, honest, and loving. But I still get nightmares about him cheating on me and the way he’d talk to me when drunk. I just woke up before deciding to post this, from the worst fucking nightmare in my life, and it was about him relapsing. I’m going to talk to my therapist about it, but I needed to get this off my chest. I let him know I had a nightmare, but since he’s at work, I just honestly told him that I was not in the emotional or mental space to talk about it with him.

I am in zone 6a and my 7 year old picked out a packet of morning glory seeds for me to grow. I planted 6 seeds and they have all sprouted and as I was planting them I thought to myself, "I'm sowing the seeds of regret right now!" If I let them grow and remove them before they go to seed at the end of the season will they come back anyway and be the bane of my existence forever? They are small enough now that I can remove them entirely but my son has been looking forward to them which is the only reason I planted them in the first place. Please advise or put my mind at ease. They are supposed to be annuals here but I have heard some horror stories.

Sometimes when I put a gun in the clamp it just says “ItemName”, full durability, and the AK-74 description

Got the ColdCard on order, gonna do it right this time. Bought it from manufacturer. (Which still begs the question - what if some malicious engineer at the manufacturer decided to tamper with the one I'm buying, I mean at some point you HAVE to trust someone in the process unless you can create your own HW wallet but I digress)
Look, I'm not that technically savvy on this whole stuff. But I need to keep my BTC safe while waiting for this ColdCard to arrive. I've already mentally accepted that I'm going to have to memorize a whole new seed phrase and everything, and that's fine. But, just need to keep things safe while waiting for it to get here.
Bought the Trezor off eBay, over a year ago, never had any issues, in fact I love it! But, just hearing too many stories of people losing their BTC off a tampered Trezor, and knowing I bought the thing on eBay, just making it hard to sleep.
So, I do have a Ledger Nano S, which I also bought on eBay (yeah, I love eBay), also years ago, and never any issues with it (except it's slow), but have been hearing some not-so-great stuff about them lately with their multi-sig getting compromised or something. So...would I be more secure to just send all the sats from the Trezor to the Ledger for the next few days, emptying the Trezor? Right now I have it split about half and half.
Not sure what to do! I want to be able to sleep at night. Please help, someone who is really knowledgeable?

Hi all! I’ve really been struggling with my productivity levels all across the board recently. I’m a planner by nature - I use a paper planner every day, pretty organized in general and live by my calendar for work. I’ve still been in a good mood, in great standing at work, enjoying a weekly outdoor lesson and social but have had a bit of trouble sleeping.
The last couple of months, I’ve realized that I’ve been struggling to focus. My to-do list is half-finished by end of day and rolls over to the next day and sometimes the next. I finish urgent work projects, always show up for my team but all of the side projects I’ve been needing to work on are piling up. It really hit me because I have ZERO meetings today and I need to dig in to wrap up some of these tasks and find myself feeling overwhelmed again. When this happens, I feel like I do everything BUT the actual task at hand.
I realized that this has carried over to me not finishing tasks at home like doing the laundry but not folding it for several days. (I hate folding but recently have been putting it off more and more). I’ve been half-assing (never typed that before…looks weird lol) my workouts and just generally feeling like I can’t focus on anything.
I shared how I was feeling with a friend earlier this week and she laughed it off because she said I was the most organized person she knows. While I appreciate that, it’s not true for me right now. My husband said he didn’t realize I was feeling this way but just thought I was tired. I feel like I’m only halfway showing up for myself and it’s starting to make me anxious. I’ve been wondering if this could be ADHD - which my doctor had considered several years ago? Has anyone else felt like this? Any suggestions on how to get out of this procrastination-can’t focus-overwhelmed/anxious loop?
