Kombucha
Anyone have luck with apricots in secondary?
I absolutely love sour beer with apricots, and am trying to create a similar experience with kombucha. I have had great success in using 100% pure juices in secondary in getting the fruit flavors to shine (grape, cantaloupe, etc). I haven't had much luck in finding pure apricot juice, most seem to be a blend with apple or pear. <lb><lb>I tried making an apricot syrup with fresh and frozen apricots and a simple syrup ratio of sugar:water as seen [here](http://imbibemagazine.com/apricot-syrup-recipe/). I upped the apricot content of the syrup beyond what they recommend, macerated them, and still did not get the apricot to come through strongly. It was a very light apricot flavor in the syrup, and also in the resulting kombucha. It was still delicious, but I really want to up my apricot game. <lb><lb>Anyone have luck with this? Some way to get a more concentrated apricot flavor?

Should I find a new family?
A little background, I have been with this family for 6 months. I have a unique situation where the children’s grandma lives down the street and we are supposed to split the kids each day. there are 4 kids, one with a developmental challenge, two being 13 month old twins. being this is my first nanny job, back in august I took the job not knowing anything about what nannies make or anything. So, I make $10 an hour and I usually end up watching all 4 kids, making them lunch and dinner, folding and putting their laundry away, and picking up after them. So that’s just one aspect of it. <lb><lb>DB is also the worst person I have ever worked for and that is saying something. He owns a restaurant so he’s in and out of the house all day. I don’t think he trusts that I know what I’m doing, which is a bit condescending and makes me question if I really know what I’m doing. I feel uncomfortable around him most of the time and I feel like I’m constantly walking on eggshells. it’s making it hard for me to want to come into work when he’s there. <lb><lb>There also isn’t much stability with what time I leave at night. like when I was hired it was supposed to be 10-7 everyday but it has never been that. it’s more like 10-8 or 8:30 or 9. So that takes a bit of a toll on my body. <lb><lb>So I guess my question is, am I making enough? and is it even worth being with this family it DB makes me extremely uncomfortable? do I address the stability of my hours?<lb><lb>I love these kids and I would LOVE to be able to stay with them but I’m scared to ask for a raise or stable hours or say something about the dad. <lb><lb>what would YOU do?

breastfeeding
When do you pump?
I primarily breastfeed my 4 week old kiddo, but I’m wanting to start pumping some so my husband can feed him on a night shift and so I can get better at pumping and figuring out how I’ll do it before I jump back into work. I’m curious to know how you all got traction with pumping. How/when do you pump so that you get some milk to use for a bottle feeding, but you also don’t skip a feeding for baby or drain your breasts so much that there’s not enough there for baby’s next feeding?

Is this covered by warranty?<lb><lb>The service tech told me that "oh yea, we have one out there with 26k miles doing the same thing. My manager said we're not covering it."

Adoption
For people who have tried DNA searches, what have you found?
I was adopted at birth, am now 35 years old and have never really tried searching for my biological family, but I have always been curious and I'm not out there searching for a new family but I'd like to know about where I came from. Last week, while reading a post on r/relationships about someone trying to find their biological father someone suggested going to the Ancestry DNA and giving that a shot. And i kind of thought, i've never tried that, lets give it a go. I sent my sample (of spit in a tube) in last week and I still have to wait my 6-8 weeks for any information to come back, and obviously I've spent a lot of time thinking up possible scenarios and also at the end of the day I'd be happy just knowing my heritage, it would be nice to meet a relative maybe. I just wanted to ask everyone here, what did you find out trying Ancestry DNA, is there any other DNA testing site out there or any other resources I can use with the findings at Ancestry? But more importantly, were any of you able to connect with biological family using these services?<lb><lb>Thank you so much, sorry for the long wall of text.<lb><lb><lb>EDIT: Thank you everyone so much! All of your insight and experiences are so helpful and I'm so grateful a community like this on reddit exists.

PF Discord Tournament
Hi, name's Cadizzle and I am president of the PF Discord server. An idea has been recently brought to my attention of possibly having a server-wide tournament towards the end of the school year, I'm thinking maybe a few weeks before nationals. It would be bracketed, of course, and would probably play out over the span of a week or two to accommodate the schedules of everyone wishing to participate. Does it sound like a good idea and would anyone actually be down for it?<lb><lb>Link to the server: https://discord.gg/qtknnts

I've suffered from dry mouth and nocturnal dry eyes (eyelids stick shut every night around 2am or later) for almost 2 years.

My sleep doctor's office told me this week that my in-home study showed signs of Mild Apnea and I'm waiting to hear on the next steps with that. <lb><lb>Could these symptoms I'm experiencing be related to apnea? Perhaps sleeping with my mouth open? Not sure how eyes play a role.

They see her do The Stare, and it makes them want to obey her, fair enough. But why should she even need to use The Stare? How does her regular face alone not warrant a "Well, I can't say "no" to that face, can I?" response? <lb><lb>Similar thing with Rarity. When she gets the wrong delivery in Rarity Investigates, she's clearly flicks on the "charm" switch inside her head before charming the delivery pony into redoing the order? But why should she need to? Isn't she always cute enough to not need to switch into charming mode? <lb><lb>Are Equestrians so constantly surrounded by adorableness that they've grown immune to each others cuteness?

Hi there! I built an app that helps you visualize WHAT you're doing and connect it to WHY you're doing it.
It helps by letting you organize &amp; prioritize daily habits, to help make consistent progress with big goals. Instead of just a long list of items, it's designed to simply communicate a snapshot of your day so it clearly shows you how you're doing in all important areas of your life.<lb><lb>A couple things that set it apart from other habit tracking apps: <lb>-Grouping: to keep organized so it's clear what goal each habit maps to.<lb><lb>-Importance: Best way I can explain this is with an example: What good is going to the gym, but not eating healthy? Why should these two habits be given the same weight when it’s clear that one is much more important? <lb><lb>-It also has multiple ways to visualize your data, night mode, privacy lock, data export, etc.<lb><lb>This app was born out of a very personal need. At a point of chaos in my life, I sat down and wrote down all the things I want to work on everyday (things to get in better shape, improve my creativity, social life, etc). Great - now I know what a successful day looks like to me, but I couldn't find a way to visualize or track all this in a meaningful way. So I made something and it's been incredibly useful.<lb><lb>Check it out! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/habit-group/id1335548212?mt=8

Great now I know what a successful day looks like to me, but I couldn't find a way to visualize or track all this in a meaningful way. So I made something and it's been incredibly useful.

Has anyone ever used Jet before?
I wanna know how discreet their shipping is. I only ask, because we are living with my Fiancé parents right now until we can get a house of our own, and the deal on a case of abenas for me is unheard of. A case of 36 plastic backed L4s for $42 😲😲😲☺☺☺ that's amazing!!! <lb><lb><lb>Also a question about Abenas. Last time I tried Abenas they were a bit tight as I tried an M4 and a stuffer. Was it just my big butt or was it the stuffer too?

OCD
I found a cure for OCD. Excessive sleep increases OCD symptoms
So i have severe OCD<lb><lb><lb>I thought to myself maybe i should change the amount of hours i sleep. My line of thinking was, that if i slept too much, i would have rested so much that my brain energy for the day would be excessive and that excessive energy would come out as OCD. So i wanted to decrease the amount of excess energy i had. Its similar to working out to decrease the excess energy or adrenaline to manage symptoms.<lb><lb>As you know with severe OCD, you probably sleep for as long as you like because you may not be employed. And you also fall asleep whenever you like.<lb><lb>I tested sleeping 6 hours a day, than 7 hours a day. Im trying to find the best hours of sleep to reduce the OCD completely. My OCD symptoms have reduced ALOT if i dont sleep as much as i use to. <lb><lb>If you sleep 10 hours a day, imagine how ready your brain is to let go of all that excessive brain energy. It will in the form of OCD. You should sleep just enough to match the energy output of the day of your NORMAL activities.<lb><lb>Please post the amount of hours you sleep in a comment, and please update the comments with testing differing hours of sleep. Can we turn this post into a sort of study and see if this is a real thing? Please detail your experience with varying your hours of sleep. Let us know how much your OCD has decreased. Also make sure to use exposure response prevention along with lowering your hours of sleep (very important). Also make sure your go outside and get some sun.<lb><lb>Make sure to wake up as soon your body tells you, dont go back to sleep for the sake of getting maximum sleep hours.

Wrong post office
I ordered from a reputable vendor and he finally gave me tracking today after 9 days of no pack. It shows it as "arrived at post office" well wrong post office about 120 miles away. Idk what to do he said he will ship another to compensate but he led me to believe it wasn't shipped till today he never and to ask for tracking that night (today) so I thought he simply never shipped it but apparently he messed up the zip code on the address label only way I found out was by checking with usps

Resource regarding the evolution of SR editions?
Hi runners, I'm not the biggest SR fan but I've always been interested in the game and cyberpunk RPGs in general. I know it is a tall order but can anyone here refer me to an article/post/comment/wiki page regarding (or describe briefly) the evolution of SR rules and setting from 1e to 5e?<lb><lb>I know this is not an easy task due to many reasons (very detailed setting with tons of additional material beyond the core rules, lots of rules and rule changes along the way, many editions to compare, etc) but I thought that if anyone would know about a comparison like that being written already somewhere (or enjoy writing a short primer here) would be you guys at r/shadowrun! I'm interested in the entire evolution but in specific the Matrix rules.<lb><lb>Thanks a lot! I'm also happy if you guys have any good "major changes in edition x from the previous ones" links to post here - it would at least let me piece the puzzle together, edition by edition!

Historically, how has politics influenced classical music?
I will be giving a presentation to my high school English class on Tuesday about how a girl rebelled against an oppressive government through her music in a book we read (Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi). I am connecting this to how Soviet era composers such as Shostakovich similarly rebelled against the oppressive government through their music. I will prepare a 3 minute video about the effect politics has had on music historically. I was thinking about playing a few seconds of a piece, then talk about what political message it was trying to convey or what events inspired the composer to write that piece. My teacher and the people in my class are not music oriented, so I would like to try to stay away from mentioning music theory at all. I only have a few days to prepare for my presentation and make a video, so I would rather not do intensive research. Any suggestions about pieces I could play for my class, then discuss the composer's political inspiration? Any suggestions where to learn more about Shsotakovich, specially what his relationship was with the Soviet government? Or any other suggestions for my presentation in general?

Call of Unknown : (storyline for first time DM and players)
Hey guys, Im really new to RPG world and I don't know anyone who plays RP.Games in my COUNTRY! So Lately I was thinking of hosting Call of Cthulhu game for 1on1 session. It will be like tutorial level, I will kinda hold their hand and lead them through their first discovery of Cthulhu and RPG world. <lb>Reason I wanna do 1-on-1 is to know who likes RPG and who don't. Also I think it will be easier to play with one player only for first few games. Also I bet (80%) my friends don't know Cthulhu, so it will be maddening new to them, and I won't tell them its CoC until very late lol. (also excuse my English)<lb><lb>**Part 1: House (Exterior)** <lb><lb>Our main character wakes up in front of old house in a rainy night. Once in a while our main character sleep walks, but this is something new, something else. This house looks somehow familiar to the player, something long forgotten from his mind or his brain blocking it to protect its host, he just cant put a finger on it where he know this house from but he knew he was been here before. He is soaking wet, and to make things worse he is only wearing his underwears (and bra if Female). There's no other place to shelter from this cold rain and whirling winds. Player has no other choice but to seek shelter in the house. The door is locked, and no one answers the knock. So the player must go through window, (dexterity check fail=cut his hand/legs).<lb><lb>(House layout: its a 2 floor house and has a basement floor. 2nd floor has 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom. Basement room is locked and player must find the key from 2nd floor. Something supernatural is calling him from the basement, he must check it. There's no one at the home, but play like someone is at. Leave clues like warm soup, burning cigeratte, etc. to mess with the player)<lb><lb>**House Interior**<lb><lb>House reeks of fish and seaweed. There's not much of a lights in the room, only one candle in back of the house. <lb>(once the player gets the candle, GM will ask for Listen Check). <lb>He heards children cry from basement floor. He stumbles to basement floor to only find out iron door with weird symbols on it and its locked. (crying kid can't hear the player)<lb><lb>So the player goes up stairs and finds key of the basement, and rushes back to basement and unlocks the door.<lb>Once the door is open The air is humid, heavy with foul fishy &amp; seaweed smell, the floor is wet. There's some kind of tools in this room also another ungodly iron door with same weird symbol. (listen check- theres someone up floors, atleast 2 or 3 peoples. Shouting at each other and some running upstairs and some probably coming to basement)<lb>-Player forced to open the second door and.... WAKES UP! it was all just a same nightmare player has having for last few months. What is weird is he never could tell its a dream, its so vivid so real. And each time it gets worse. He has seen doctor and psychiatrist but its no use. He has to make it stop one way or another or else he can feel his mind is going insane with each nightmares he has. Doctors and medicine is no use for his nightmares, so our player decides to head to his old hometown to visit Shaman. <lb><lb>**Part 2 : Hometown**(build up, Planning and NPC encounters)<lb><lb>**Part 3 : The House** (Climax, Finds the dream house and enters)<lb><lb>**Part 4 : Conclusion** (Release, and build-up to next chapter, which is 2-5 players)<lb><lb><lb>PS: This is a story outline (simple one). I have huge lists of things that player can do or not on other notes, and has hand drawn map of the house, the hometown, and few public place.

What can I do with this "pork jelly" I accidentally made?
Last weekend I made pulled pork in my trusty slow cooker, and usually I discard the liquid which forms while the meat cooks. This time I reserved the liquid, chilled it, and threw away the fat which had congealed at the top. I'm left with about a cup and a half of what I can only describe as pork jelly, which is now in the back of my freezer.<lb><lb>I'm not sure what the best way would be to make use of this jelly. As a soup base maybe? Is pork gravy a thing? <lb><lb>Thank you in advance for reading, and for sharing your thoughts! :)

City of Los Angeles is Hiring a Blacksmith
I was poking around online to see if blacksmith jobs actually exist and there are some architectural and artist blacksmiths hiring and some fairground blacksmith demonstrator jobs but I also discovered this [job posting in LA](https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/lacity/jobs/1832598/blacksmith-3733). Job tasks include: <lb><lb>*Forging metal into "a desired configuration such as a punch, pavement cutter, cold chisel,<lb>or pinch bar," sharpening tools, repairing tools, and straightening tools.<lb> <lb>I think it's pretty cool that a government agency still employs a blacksmith for tool production and repair. Anyone know of other types of government agencies or private companies that employ blacksmiths to support their operations?

How do I spell this word, and what would be a good translation of it?
Friend was teaching my some vietnamese terms, one phrase that came up was "do hoi." I asked her what does that mean, pronounced "zuh hoay," which I asked what does "suck air" mean? So it sounds like 'do' or 'gio' like suck, bad at something, and 'hoi,' which is like steam.<lb><lb>What's the proper spelling for this word? When would be a funny situation to use it? The story was that a little niece was dancing around the TV, and then grandpa exclaimed "niece, do you know you are zuh hoi?" and everyone burst out laughing.

Roland was even mentioned and seen.](/spoiler)<lb><lb>However, I have a few questions about the book. Spoiler heavy, y'all. [Who is the Green Man? I don't remember anyone like that showing up in the Dark Tower? Maybe Walter/Randall and the whole Wizard of Oz thing? I don't think we ever got an answer!](/spoiler) Is the whole book not a part of Keystone Earth? Send me your theories here!<lb><lb>Long days and pleasant nights to you all!<lb>

Looking for Artists and Ideas
Okay, so for 2017 I've set myself a challenge: I plan on commissioning at least one new War of the Roses pic by a different artist each month for the year. So far, I've had one done by CSLucaris, MadKaiser and scyfon is currently inking the most recent.<lb><lb>My problem is finding artists who take commissions, and don't charge upwards of £200, as well as coming up with a different theme(?) for each pic. I was hoping I could get some suggestions from you guys on who I could potentially commission, and what kinds of outfits I could use.

Houseruling direct control of summons?
We have been pretty underwhelmed with summons (spellweaver) and it makes the [CLASS SPOILER] (/spoiler "circles") class not seem very enticing. Has anyone house ruled for direct control of summons, but still going move+0, attack+0? They don't seem useful otherwise.

Farming Dark Elf Ornaments
So last night I got some friends together to go obliterate Neriak 4th Gate. We set up camp in the Queen's castle entry hall and killed damn near every mob in there about five times, no ornaments. Bad luck or does it even drop in that castle?<lb><lb>I checked Allakhazam for comments, but there's very little information aside from "dark elfs drop it". I got a couple pieces from the HAs, but my understanding is the base zone should drop them too, and there's more mobs there.

Need some help and input.
Hey, I thought this would be a good subreddit to ask because of how active it is, but I have a band and we want a stylized logo for us. No matter how much we try ourselves it doesn't look that good. I would love if any of y'all can give suggestions or even draw/create a rough sketch for us. Our name is Invertigo and we're a metal band (obviously). Our influences are thrash metal, punk, groove metal, and 70s music; bands like Celtic frost, prong, metallica, anthrax, discharge, down. Thank you in advance!

Preventing scarring related to eczema?
Hi all. I have pretty severe eczema spanning from my scalp all the way down to the back of my knees. I'm already on cortisone cream, all the antihistamines I can take but it's not helping. I'm waiting for my insurance to accept the dupixent prescription but that can take time. It looks like I have some dyhidrotic eczema. SO ITCHY! (of course). What have you guys used to prevent scarring on the skin? I do moisturize a lot but that seems to make my skin even more itchy. I use the advanced vaseline lotion approved by derm and the Eczema association. Thanks everyone:)

Hello all! Long time lurker here. I have spent a great deal of time here as of late and wanted to try something. <lb><lb>So here's the deal, I want both sides of the argument to come here and attempt to convince me to side with them. Sounds real simple right? Well here's where it gets a bit more difficult. You have to abide by these 4 rules in order for me to pay attention to you. Rule 1, your argument must be concise, and understandable (As in a layman must be able to understand what your talking about). Rule 2, if there is mathematics involved with your argument you MUST include formulas and how you worked it out. Rule 3, no running away, if someone responds to your argument you must in turn respond to them, otherwise you will be labeled a coward and ~~will die a cowards death.~~ I will assume you admit defeat at the hands of your adversaries. Rule 4, and I know this is the most difficult one, don't be a dick.<lb><lb>So there you have it.

Question about Wes/Johanna/Kenny
So when I watched The Ruins and The Island a while back I was still in like middle school so work with me here lol, but I’m still confused about everything with these three. My impression was that before The Island Johanna and Wes broke up meaning she was free to do what she wanted so her and Kenny hooked up fine or am I missing something? Because Wes and Kenny’s rivalry starts with everything with Johanna but to be fair she had every right to hook up with Kenny unless she was still with Wes or there was some other reason for it. Can someone help clear this up because as much as I love Wes and he has a right to be hurt because you know that's someone he loved I think Johanna wouldn’t be necessarily in the wrong unless I’m missing something here

Need a little help with micro-tuning and temperament
I'm working on an ear training application for my personal use. I couldn't find an existing one that I was satisfied with. I'll think about giving it away if it turns out well. The basic concept is pretty simple. It generates a semi-random series of notes, displays the solfege, and asks me to sing the notes. Then I click on the "Play" button to find out if I sang them correctly. On the easy levels, the required notes are only on the "white keys," i.e., steps in the major scale. On higher levels, it will also involve some of the "black keys."<lb><lb>So far, the source for the pitches is a tempered scale, as if a piano, but I want the notes to be "perfectly" in tune. I guess that means I should use a non-tempered scale of the kind that Barbershop quartets and string quartets use. Is that "Pythagorean" temperament? I think that temperament has another name, not sure what it is.<lb><lb>I'm using MuseScore to generate the tones. MuseScore allows me to micro-tune each pitch. So, here's my question.<lb><lb>I can adjust each note in the tempered scale up or down, in cents. How much do I adjust each note in the major scale up or down so they will be perfectly in tune, as I described above?<lb><lb>I'll be practicing accidentals, not only notes on the "white keys," so I guess I should also adjust the pitches on the "black keys." How do I micro-tune those? Thanks in advance!<lb>

Question about inviting kids
I feel like this must be a common scenario but I can't seem to find anything about this specific situation. One of my bridesmaids has 4 other siblings: <lb><lb>1 half older brother who is married and has 2 kids (I've met him once maybe about 10 years ago but not his wife and kids), 2 younger sisters (both currently in college), and 1 younger brother in high school, still living at home<lb><lb><lb>I'm inviting her parents because I've been close with them and so has my parents and grandparents for 10+ years. And since the youngest brother still lives at home and is in high school, I know I should include him on the invite as we're inviting all kids 10 and older. I'm pretty confident I do not need to invite her older brother because he is significantly older than us and never lived at home with her parents growing up/they just aren't as close and like I said I've never met them. <lb><lb>My question comes to her 2 sisters. They are very close, only 3 and 5 years younger than myself and the bridesmaid. I grew up playing with them when I would go to her house to an extent but I haven't seen them in 7+ years. Do I have to invite them also? Is it weird to invite her parents, her younger brother, but not her other siblings? We're on a tight budget so I'd rather not but I also don't want to offend them.

Building a 335-style guitar for a friend, have a few questions before I get started.
My friend is a musician that performs a lot of different types of music, from blues to rock to rap. She wants a 335-style guitar for most of the songs since she's singing as well, and doesn't want to have to swap guitars every 10 min.<lb><lb>Is there anywhere that will sell top + back vacuum forms, or am I going to have to get them custom made? I've been looking for a while and can't find anyone selling them so far. <lb>The side forms are fairly simple, and I can make them off a flat template, so that's not an issue.<lb><lb>She wants a Bigsby V7, that's simple enough, but is there a real difference between the V7 and the V70 other than one is a licensed copy? Roller bridge and locking tuners are going in with that before anyone asks.<lb><lb>Next week we're planning everything out, I just wanted to figure out if there are going to be major issues building the body, or if I should just suggest a kit base and build from there rather than buy a vacuum pump and hope I can get the forms. <lb>Then again, a kit will come pre-drilled for a hardtail, so I would need to either plug it or add in the Vibramate V7-335 adapter, but that's not really an issue.<lb>

Blind Spot assist inoperative
On my 2010 E550 it says my blind spot is inoperative. It also says my key batteries are dead so it won't push to start. I tried that on both keys. Everything else seems to be working fine. I did some searching around and nothing seems to be the main issue, except maybe being dirty. Any body have any ideas?

How good is Stanley standard block plane?
So I will be starting a woodworking program in college and we are required to buy several tools of our own, one of which is a block plane. I was searching for a good quality used one but couldn't find one so I have to buy one new but don't want to be spending $100+ on one. I found a Stanley block plane on amazon which didn't have great reviews (just that it's a cheap product which is for $20) and I decided to check out Lee valley for their block planes and they have one for $50 CAD that looks a little different which is why im wondering if that one is any good? I simply assumed Lee valley wouldn't sell a really cheap product and that's why I'm confused.

[Ruling Question] Ex-MTG Seeking Clarification on Various Rules and Board States
Hello,<lb>I am a new force of will player, but come from a long history of competitive magic. I never tried for level 1 in MtG, did end up learning a lot of the common tournament rules (such as stack intricacies and layers).<lb>As a general rule, I try to resolve tough board states the same way I would in MtG... but some more veteran players of FoW have told me my understanding is wrong.<lb>I am really interested in learning FoW, and possibly becoming a judge (there are none in my area). I would appreciate if you could help me understand these rules and differences.<lb>Here's a couple of the board states I've encountered:<lb><lb><lb>1) Sylvia Gill Palarilias, judgment. When entering play deals 1000 damage. In response, blackmoon beam kills Sylvia and returns her to ruler side. The 1000 damage then resolves (and kills a resonator). Does the Sylvia player still untap 3 stones?<lb><lb><lb>2) Bedivere, the Restorer of Souls enters play. Targets Titania (1200/1200) with his ability. In response, Titania player casts Space Time Anomaly, targeting Titania (now 700/700). Does Bedivere's ability still successfully destroy the Titania?<lb><lb><lb>3) Pricia, the Commander of the Sacred Beasts, god art. (to recreate the exact board state, I'll say x=3, but same question for other x). 3 sacred beasts enter play simultaneously, each one has an enter the field trigger. Does the pricia player put all 3 abilities on the stack and then pass priority? Does he have to assign targets when placing them on the stack? Do the abilities check for number of sacred beasts at time of putting them on the stack -or- at resolution of ability?<lb><lb><lb>4) Valentina, Puppet Monarch vs Possessor Princess of Love, Valentina. Player A owns and controls resonator X. Player B then plays Possessor Princess of Love, Valentina, and kills its. Trigger takes control of resonator X (player A owns, player B controls).

I found this giant mushroom in Iowa. Any info on this beast? Phone for scale.
I was walking through the woods and saw what looked like a bleached soccer ball or volleyball. When I got close it looked sort of like styrofoam, kind of like it was made of tiny little foam balls pressed together. After poking it I knew it was a mushroom.

I think this movie will be better for those who have read the book already
I know the old adage of films never being as good as the book (and that's probably true here as well), but I think book readers will actually get much more out of it than non-readers.<lb><lb>When I saw Jurassic Park for the first time, I honestly walked out of the theater disappointed. I know it's a fantastic movie and, in a vacuum, is one of the greatest movies of the 90s. But I think I would have enjoyed it more if I'd have seen it before reading the book (I don't even want to touch The Lost World, as I think it's one of the biggest abominations in movie history).<lb><lb>I think RPO will be different, and more akin to Ender's Game. That movie was absolutely made better by already having knowledge of the universe and story. It was almost like a cliff's notes version of the book, which, without already knowing the story, would make it seem rushed and not quite finished. While it looks like RPO will have some significant changes, I think those things will improve the story in a visual sense. As many others have said, nobody is going to want to watch two characters play a full game of Joust or a perfect game of Pac-Man. I think the changes that they make will be necessary to make it a functional movie.<lb><lb>It also looks like the timeline will be fudged, with the point in the story that Wade and Sammantha meet, etc. It also looks like Parzival doesn't reach god-like levels of fame, but again, I think that's ok. That whole storyline is wonderful in book-form, but not necessary when you're condensing a 15 hour story into a 2 hour film.<lb><lb>Anyway, I think the changes should be embraced and I think knowing the story ahead of time will help viewers do exactly that.

New bunny mommy here
Hi guys, so I’m new to owning a bunny and I just had a quick question. My bunny has been having eye boogers, no watery eyes, which I read was normal. And I also read that it’s okay to help them pick it sometimes. So me and my bun where cuddling and i tried to help him with it, and as I took it off, some fur came with it... Now he has a very tiny bald spot on the corner of his eye. Is this normal? Did I hurt him?

please help me fix my juul!
i've had the same juul for a year now with no problems until about a month ago. my juul is practically eating every pod i've put in recently, i bought a pack of mint 3 days ago and they all leaked almost completely into the filters at the tip of the juul pod so i bought a pack of tobacco today thinking maybe it was just a faulty pack, but no. the pod i put in just a couple hours ago has completely flooded the pod. no leaking through the bottom just yet, although 2 of my mint pods did. the cotton bits of my pods are SOAKED with juice..... my other problem is that, yesterday, i put a mint pod in and my juul wouldn't work or acknowledge that a pod was in. so i bent the tongs on the bottom to see if it wasn't reaching the connectors but nope, didn't work either until i switched the juice into a pod (one that i had bought the week prior with no problems) that did work. now my juul only sometimes recognizes that a pod is in when the tongs are a tiny bit bent and i have a feeling its because i've noticed my battery getting a bit loose. what should i do? i don't want to keep hitting my pods since the juice is just being wasted! also, i accidentally left my juul in the car for about an hour or so while it was warm outside so i'm now worried that juice might've leaked down into the battery. could that be a reason as to why my juul won't hit correctly and if so, should i remove the battery and clean it? please help me i don't want to break my juul but i also want it to hit like it used to!!

What should the principle of support for self-determination be?
I was thinking about self-determination as we see what is happening in Catalonia. I am a big supporter of self-determination myself, but I was thinking to what extent should I support it? <lb>For example, the South wanted to secede from the Union, and created their Confederate state. As fucked up as the Confederacy was, how should we approach self-determination? <lb>If the self-determination was more of nationalistic, capitalistic, or even racist, would we respect their right to self-determination and just let it be? Of course not, but what is the principle? Should the self determination be "left" for us to truly support it? Saying that I support the right to self-determination sounds good, but do you think you should support it no matter what.

How pathetic Okabe is before Hououin Kyouma is revived? I understand he is going through PTSD. However, he is so close to Steins Gate and he just straight up gives up on the last step. After that, he just mourns all the time and thinks that he is the only one fighting. <lb><lb>The part of the game that is especially touching for me is when he meets Christina again on the Alpha world line. This shows that even people on different world lines are fighting and sacrificing (for him specially) as well - Very different from what Okabe thinks.<lb><lb>I am really glad that Suzuha punches him - I would want to punch him too. Normally, I am not that emotionally invested in weak main characters. But hell, even Yuki Amano from Mirai Nikki earns more respect from me than the depressed Okabe. I think this period of time in the game really makes me to dislike Okabe as a character.<lb><lb>What do you guys think? I don't usually type up a post because of my feelings for an anime/game, but both Steins; Gate and 0 really get you to be so emotionally invested in them. That's why it is a great series!

[5e] Conflicted Cleric
Hello. <lb><lb>I'm pretty new to D&amp;D, I've only been playing a few months but I've been diving in deep and absolutely loving it. <lb><lb>A friend of mine is starting up a game soon and I wanted to try being a cleric. It was only until recently that I learned that clerics don't HAVE to be the lawful good "everything I do is in service to my God" type cleric (if that makes any sense). After learning that, I dabbled with the thought of being a cleric who made a pact with a God out of necessity. Specifically, I wanted to make a pact with Bane, the lawful evil God of war, but attempt to carry out his will while maintaining a lawful neutral disposition. I fight in the name of Bane who grants me my power but I do my best to not be evil.<lb><lb>My questions for you all are pretty much role play related, as I'm still unsure of the finer details of how clerics and their pacts with deities work.<lb><lb>1) what is the nature of a cleric's pact with a deity? If Bane demands I go out and kill in his name is that it? Is that my only purpose or can I continue to be whoever my character was before the pact but with this God given mission laid out for me?<lb><lb>2) how often do the gods interject themselves into the lives of their clerics? For example, might it be a regular occurrence where Bane demands I kill someone before me?<lb><lb>3) if my God gave me a direct order and I disobeyed it, what are the ramifications? In the previous example, if I was told to kill somebody before me and I refuse would Bane strike me dead or remove his powers from me? <lb><lb>I understand all of these questions are very circumstancial and probably up to the DM whether they even came up or not but if I could get your take on those it would help me get a better idea on the nature of clerics and their gods and the pacts made between them. Any other clericy words of wisdom anyone else could impart would also be greatly appreciated. <lb><lb>From an actual gameplay perspective, I want to be a dwarf with a soldier's background. I want to be heavily armored and do the old mace and shield song and dance. Beyond that, I'm not too sure what aspects of being the kind of cleric I described I could choose to make my vision come to life so any and all advice in that matter would also be greatly appreciated. <lb><lb>Sorry for the huge post! Thanks in advance! I look forward to reading your input.

Sorry for the huge post! Thanks in advance! I look forward to reading your input.

Anyone experience physical long-term effects?
I was sexually assaulted five months ago. While my anxiety attacks have subsided, I as well as my boyfriend have noticed these changes; I have been chronically fatigued and almost always fall asleep as soon as I hit the couch or bed. I fall asleep almost instantly — whether or not I get 5 or 10 hours of sleep — I’m always tired. I used to have so much energy, but now it disappeared. Additionally, I’ve been feeling under the weather and always feel like my anxiety is ready to creep in.. but not strong enough for an anxiety attack.<lb><lb>So, is there a scientific, or etc, explanation behind this? What long-term physical effects have you noticed with yourselves?

What style is this composition?
[This video](https://youtu.be/ikY5ht-gnwQ?t=5m20s) of Adam Neely doing a quick 10-minute composition is confusing me. It seems very atonal (he does set the key to be none/atonal on Sibelius, or something like that), and then he proceeds to write this jazzy, key-less melody. What is this style? How does the harmony work within it?

The Clown, or a Way Out
It was a couple days ago when I first realized that the creepy clown doll from our basement was moving. I can remember lying in bed, sheets and blankets pulled down over my face as I heard a far off laughing and the scamper of little feet. I figured it had to be coming for me, no weird dolls ever attack adults. When I went down for school the next day I was looking for it when I heard the wet smack of my dad's hand across my mom's face. I shut out the pained look in her eyes as I went off to school, pretending not to notice the angry red marks that spanned her face. I couldn't focus that day, but managed to snag an x-acto knife from the art classroom when no one was looking. I couldn't wait to get that in the hands of the clown. After seeing my mom walk around a beaten zombie for so many years I want to make sure he can finish the job.

Loanwords in English vs. Loanwords in French/Spanish
France and Spain were ruled by non-Roman groups at one point, the Franks and the Moors respectively. However, Frankish and Arabic loanwords in French and Spanish make up only a minority of the vocabulary. On the other hand, Latin (and its descendants) and Greek loanwords make up the vast majority of the post-Norman conquest English vocabulary. What caused English to absorb such a large amount of loanwords? The Celtic languages in England and France don't appear to have absorbed many loanwords from French or even English either.

What’s your ideal *series* finale to the bachelorette?

But this is mine. <lb><lb>Bachelorette narrows down to two guys: one Higgins-type, one smarmy, Luyenduyk bitch. Reluctantly chooses the latter. She’s showing signs of hesitance. Constantly looking off-camera when asked about him. “Um...” Giving non-descript answers. “I mean, he’s young! &lt;nervous laughter&gt;.” He’s the worst. Clearly on for the pub. Probably well hung. That’s not relevant. Fans are angry. But united. We’ve lost hope. <lb><lb>Final scene: Dallas TX.

Someone is performing lewd acts at work
Every day, around 4:30 PM, I use the bathroom. take the big stall and mind my business. At least once every week or biweekly, a gentleman (whose identity I have since found out) will either use the stall next to me or a urinal to masturbate. I make my presence vey clear by coughing loudly and clearing my throat, but he continues. It's obvious he is doing this from the shadows I see, and when he is in the stall next to me, it is very clear from the shadows, his movements, and one time I even witnessed ejaculate splash on the floor which he promptly cleaned up. How do I go about reporting this? CAN i even report it? Is taking a video of him in the act (only his shoes and shadows) illegal? Would they need proof for my claim it is my word enough? I am very uncomfortable even using the restroom because of this. What do I do? (Located in Massachusetts.)

How many days a week should one work to be the most productive?
I have read that people become more productive when they work 4 days a week rather than 5. Is there any actual research on how many days and hours one should work to be more productive? Also, assuming a 4 day work week, is it better to work something like Monday - Tuesday, then a break on Wednesday, and then work Thursday - Friday? Or is it better to just have a break of three days in a row?

Survival: 9mm or 10mm
I carried a .40 for a decade, but the 'snap' wore on my wrist at the range. I transitioned to the 9mm for less recoil and higher cap in the mag. I love the 9mm. But, recently started shooting the Glock 20 10mm. Man, is that a nice round. Yes...the cliche' says, '9mm in the hood, 10mm in the wood,' so, what say you for survival situation? Why?

What's the deal with Zwift?
This is just an opinion of course, but I really don't understand why people use Zwift all winter. I can understand using Zwift/trainer if you live somewhere that is below zero for months at a time, but instead of buying a trainer, just use that money for some good winter gear and go outside! It's more fun, being outside in the winter is awesome, and it's good for your mind/body to brace the elements while still riding fast. Buy some good winter tires for your roadie and crank that 18-20mph average outside, or get a fatty and go rip some wintery singletrack, I promise it's more fun than riding a trainer all winter, and cooler in general. Cheers :)

tezos
Just quick realistic price projections.
With roughly 750 million token created, according to the Tezos' foundation most recent publishing, I'm going to make rough future price estimates. If the overall crypto market cap plateaus and Tezos basically replaces Ethereum... it is worth 28$ a coin. If the entire crypto space rapidly increases (which analysts predict will happen) then over time it could be worth more. So as of now absolute hands down best case at current levels with huge market adoption of Tezos, best case is 28$ a coin. Not bad.

Metalcore
What's a band you didn't really like until you saw them live?
For me it was Secrets (not sure if they're even metalcore). They were supporting Ice Nine Kills and half way through the first song I was pretty much sold. Both vocalists absolutely killed it... I was really surprised that their clean vocalist sounded pretty much true to the record, especially considering that he was also playing guitar.
