Everything is inside a VPN network and the server is accessible through an IP address. We would like to set up our security so that IIS server would use my own certificate for TLS connection, every client would have to authenticate itself with a client certificate and username/password. This was our plan: create a root certificate for this project, use root certificate to generate a certificate for the IIS server, use root certificate to generate client certificates, deploy root certificate to every client and one client certificate for every client, set up WCF security to: use TLS protocol only (i guess ), clients should authenticate with username and password, for this we use and a custom UserNamePasswordValidator class, clients should authenticate with a client certificate also (i guess )?

Offered a job in Wuxi - what's the cost of living?

Hi guys, new to reddit and looking for some advice. I've been offered a job doing research with a university in Wuxi, China, for one year. They'll cover the flights and rent is taken care of by my employer, but the salary is 1700 yuan per month for 40-50 hrs a week (+2000 yuan bonus if I publish). What's a reasonable budget for food, phone, internet/VPN, transportation, etc? I know things in China are cheap, but is this enough to live on? <lb>I'm going for the experience, but I want to have enough to travel while I'm there. Am I better off just teaching English than working in my field?<lb><lb>EDIT: I know and have worked with the person providing an apartment, so I am comfortable that it won't be some kind of roach infested hellhole. Rent and international flights (to AND from) are covered, which is another ~4000 yuan per month that's part of my package. 1700 is what I have left to spend during the month, and I was only asking for an estimate of decent food budgets. Sheesh. <lb><lb>EDIT 2: Unfortunately, I'm not trolling, this was my actual job offer with people I've worked with before. This is likely a "student" style salary, built to cover minimal expenses and not many luxuries. However, I plan to negotiate with them soon, because I agree with you guys - 1700 isn't enough to move across the globe.

Question in regards to no-gi guard

Do you think lower belts could get away with playing just closed, half, butterfly, and x guard? Or... do you think lower belts should focus on every guard. Same inquiry about higher belts. I don't think I've seen Marcelo play anything but x, and butterfly, with maybe a little closed here and there. What do you guys think. If you had to make the best possible game of guard for yourself for both gi and no gi what guards would you play?

TalesFromThePizzaGuy

First day of delivery driving

So not alot really interesting happened, I found out Google maps can be a piece of shit (took me to a totally different apartment complex then the one I was supposed to be). Turns out calling a customer 7 times and banging on their door won't make them answer any quicker than 15 minutes, and drive past a street as narrow as a driveway 3 times before finding the house of a 7 foot tall black man with an hakuna Matata t-shirt (gotta love that ghetto vibe). I also found out I'm not the only socially awkward reject who says "you too" when someone tells me to enjoy my food, I had 3 of those last night! Also met one of my fellow driver's, a weird russian man named Russ (fake name) who told me about his kids, that Putin announced Russia launched a new type of rocket, and asked me if I found my stud alright when I went to go piss. According to the guy I went in training with, Russ once asked him after a shift to drive him all the way to New York City (we live on the opposite side of the state). When he told him no, Russ explained he needed to see his wives (plural) and he couldn't take his own car because they could track him. He had a cousin who's a nuclear physicist, and I cannot wait to talk to this legend again.<lb><lb>All in all, I love it. I get paid $11.75 base rate, plus tips and minus the $20 I used in gas, I made about $16.75 over 8 hours last night. I don't have to wake up super early cause they open in the afternoon (I'm a night person anyways). It's super close to my campus, everyone is relaxed and easy to talk to, funny also, not stuck up like the managers from my last job. It's basically "jam out to music and drive around, drop off food after 10 minutes, get paid, rinse and repeat" for 8 hours, which I don't mind cause I like to drive and listen to music.<lb><lb>I'm a little nervous about driving when it's busy, last night was easy (minus the 1-2 feet of God damn overnight snow) because it was late at night for the majority, and everyone was either in bed or in the bars/houses partying and chilling. I could do donuts on the main Avenues if I wanted. But when it gets busy is when I'm really nervous, especially pulling out into main roads and holding up traffic in narrow streets if I miss a house. But it's a small price to pay for a job that's already way better and higher paying than my last

Pre-trip anxiety?

Last week I pussied out and didn't take the 850-900mg dxm I had weighed out (had 900 set aside and spilt a tad). Mainly because the PEG made me nauseous, but I always get pre-trip nausea before hand from the 100+ trips I've had in the past 10 years, most were syrup. Thought the magic was gone, but now that I do it once every 4-6 months it isn't. Anyways, I can't make this pret-trio nausea/anxiety go away. Any tips? Any words of encouragement? I'd like to explore the depths of the universe, and while I don't need dxm to do so, it helps get the vibes flowing. I'm not even taking it for another 3 and a half hours and I'm already feeling sick, and no it isn't a sign not to do it, because it's all about min d over matter, I just need some convincing lol. <lb><lb>Have a great set and setting with the love of my life as my trip sitter, I plan on eating a little bread two hours before I dose, I stupidly ate pizza for breakfast, then some Oreos an hour ago, but that's all. I'm taking 2 benadryl 30 mins before my dose, then shortly after take 2g of PEG. I'll probably take some ginger shortly after, I might actually cap some ginger up with some citric acid. I read acidity can help reduce nausea as dxm is pretty basic (literally tho). Is this a bad idea? I'd have no idea on how much to use. I still have the dex in parachutes in a baggie from last weekend, don't see the point in going g through capping it, I can just taste ginger when I parachute it and while it ends up helping, it initially makes me even more nauseous.

How to define the fair value of ETH based on mining profitability

As difficulty continues to increase, unless there is a corresponding increase in price, mining Ethereum will eventually be unprofitable. At this point, I would expect that miners begin removing their rigs from the network, thereby causing Gas shortages and network stability issues (please correct me if this assumption is wrong).<lb><lb>So this would basically imply that, until PoS is implemented, that Ethereum mining HAS to remain profitable for the network to operate efficiently.<lb><lb>Which means that the bottom for Ethereum pricing can be identified as, call it a 15% Return on Investment annually. I am making this 15% assumption as that would be an acceptable RoI for a commercial level business, which I am assuming would represent the "average" miner.<lb><lb>So let's take the following values: $2,000 rig that runs at 150 M/H. At a current difficulty of 850, this produces roughly 0.0766ETH/Day. The ROI calculation is as follows:<lb><lb>($2,000*15%)/365/.0766 = $10/ETH. $10 eth is the price necessary to generate a 15% ROI. If you want to add electricity costs of $2.59/day for that rig, you'd come out around $12.59 price.<lb><lb>My questions for discussion:<lb><lb>Does ETH mining need to, over the average of say a 1 month period, be profitable in order to maintain network integrity before PoS? If you answer yes here, then....<lb><lb>What RoI is reasonable for miners to expect? With this value, you can then simply back out the implied price of ETH as I have done (hopefully correct!) above.<lb><lb>Questions above are related to current PoW state, so let's keep the discussion within those bounds.<lb><lb>Thanks!

Startup and Commissioning Jobs

Recently I've been working on commissioning the treatment plant I work at. Because the experience is so specialized and technical, I have met a few guys who work as independent consultants that the contractor or client hires to lead and supervise commissioning. Anybody on here broken out and found work as an independent commissioning consultant? I have been thinking this would be a really cool career path and something I never even knew existed while I was in school.

I and a few colleagues at work were having a discussion about Arsene Wenger and Arsenal. One of them, who's an Arsenal fan, made the assertion that Wenger's tactics are now outdated and that his club managerial career is coming to an end. The rest of us disagreed with him. I think that while Arsenal could do with a managerial change, Wenger could yet achieve further success at another club like PSG. He's French, he'll have a talent pool of young French players to choose from, a board that isn't that concerned about the balance sheet and PSG could become a very formidable side with him at the helm- maybe even push for the Champions League. Or maybe I'm just biased because I've always been a big fan of Wenger, despite being a Liverpool fan.<lb><lb>This is all just a theoretical discussion of course, but I'm curious to know whether r/soccer thinks Wenger can succeed elsewhere or is he becoming tactically outdated?

Submitted My Petition

Hey guys. I submitted my petition last Tuesday to my local lodge with my check for 2018 dues and the EA degree fee. I know the lodge had their monthly meeting last night but I haven't heard back on anything from the Secretary and they haven't cashed my check yet. Is it wrong/annoying/too early to follow up?

Best way to turn IP Webcam (android app) on and off?

I'm using an old android phone with the [IP Webcam component](https://www.home-assistant.io/components/android_ip_webcam/) to pull in video and sensor data. What I want from this setup is to have the camera disabled when I am home and then activate when I leave. Having a camera perpetually on when I'm around skeeves me out a bit, and I want to be understanding of guests who might not want to be on camera. <lb><lb>My setup at the moment involves using an MQTT switch to talk to Tasker on the phone which can then initiate or kill the IP Webcam server depending on the home/not_home state of myself. <lb><lb>This works fairly well, but it prevents the sensor data (light levels, pressure, etc.) from being collected when I am home. The other annoying thing is that the "record on motion detect" feature activates whenever the server intializes, resulting in a folder of 30 second videos taken 3 minutes after I've left the house. <lb><lb>Is there a more elegant way to disable the camera and keep the IP Webcam server running? Also is there a way to prevent the app from initiating a recording at start time without disabling record on motion detect?<lb><lb>PS. First post, but I've written a number of drafts on previous issues only to figure out my problem halfway through the draft.

Adoption

Looking for input on transracial adoption of hispanic/african-american child.

I feel kind of lost on this. <lb><lb>We (Caucasian) adopted through foster care and our daughter is Hispanic and African-American. Of her four biological grandparents, 3 are Hispanic and 1 is African-American. That being said, genetics are not that simple and she appears more African-American than that, perhaps even more African-American than Hispanic. Honestly, I hate to get into the hyper-detail of her appearance like this - plus there is obviously a huge range in what both African-Americans and Hispanics might look like. But I am also trying to be clear and specific because I am really open to input or guidance on how to minimize any issues caused by her transracial adoption in her specific situation. <lb><lb>Suggestions I have come across are to raise her to be in touch with the culture she would have been raised in had she not been removed from her first family, and to worry less about which culture we raise her in and focus more on making sure she has the opportunity to interact with all different kinds of people. <lb><lb>I'm open to your own personal thoughts, as well as any resources you think I should check out. TIA. <lb><lb> <lb>

GearsOfWar

Gears 1 got me into gaming.

Back when the original game come out I'll never forget on an hour drive somewhere, 2 of my friends where talking about this game for the entire ride. On the way home it was the same deal. So after that I decided I had to check it out. After the first 5 min. Of campaign I was hooked. I had never played anything like it before, it was incredible. I didn't have internet back then so this is all campaign mode. After that I was never the same, I loved video games but in particular gears of war. It holds a special place in my heart.

Trumpet sharp out of the box

Hey everybody,<lb><lb>I'm trying to get back into trumpet after playing a little when I was a kid (31 now) and I just bought an Allora pocket trumpet that was on sale at Guitar Center (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Allora/MXPT-5801-BK-Black-Nickel-Series-Pocket-Trumpet.gc). I'd been renting one for a month to make sure I wanted to commit, and I play the one i'm renting in tune, but the one I just bought is 1/2 step sharp consistently. If I pull out the tuning slide enough then I'm fine, and I'm wondering if this is pretty common and I should put up with it, or if I should return or exchange it. Anyone have any experience with this trumpet? I read positive reviews online, and I don't want to spend much more than $300 (the sale price). Thanks!

Midway through the book, Wade gets an omni-directional treadmill to walk around, but at the beginning he used special hand movements to walk or run around. How did you imagine this to work? I imagined it to work by using your thumb and index finger to point in the direction you want to move, using one finger to walk and two fingers to run.

Nanny

Nanny cams

I've been a nanny for 6 years and somehow this is my first family that has cameras. I always ask during the interview and they pointed out the two obvious cameras bc I asked to know about them. Well the other day the dad was casually telling me a story and mentioned that a notification popped up on his phone saying there was motion outside the front door and he saw on the camera it was there dog. This wasn't a camera they mentioned but seems more like a security situation so not a big deal. But it does make me wonder how many other ones I'm not aware of. I've been with them for almost a year and the cameras still make me feel incredibly uncomfortable. To the point where I rarely eat during my 10+ hour shift bc it's creepy that they can literally look on the camera pointed at the table and watch me eat. I imagine the whole house is on camera. So then they can also see everytime I walk into the bathroom. I know I'm a great nanny and I'm not doing anything wrong. But for whatever reason I still hate it so much. To the point where I dread going. I try to act like they're not there except I can't because they're beaming in my face. I know these days nanny cams are a thing for a lot of families. I guess I just wish that after a year I would have their trust. Anyways does anyone else struggle with this? How did you get over the cameras?

I just bought online two 12V 100AH sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries. I remember reading somewhere that you have to open an escape in your van below where the batteries are placed in order to not let all the harmful stuff stay in the car. Since these batteries are SLA, do I still need to do this?

I just bought online two 12V 100AH sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries. I remember reading somewhere that you have to open an escape in your van below where the batteries are placed in order to not let all the harmful stuff stay in the car. Since these batteries are SLA, do I still need to do this?

Origin configuration file?

Hi, I am making a script that installs Sims 2 on Linux \(in a special environment\), and the game doesn't work with Origin\-In\-Game enabled. Is there a launching argument like \-OriginInGame \_Disabled that will launch a game executable without Origin In\-Game? If it doesn't, then where does Origin store it's settings? I looked through files and I only found some local.xml files but it has no mention of Origin In\-Game.<lb><lb>I know the user can disable it themselves, but it's really inconvenient and nobody reads manuals anyway.<lb><lb>I would really appreciate if somebody could point out and help bring an easy way to install The Sims 2 to Linux.

Travel Advice?

Just booked a trip to Punta Cana! It's our first trip down south, and travelling with another couple. I would consider myself an amateur photographer and love the idea of taking a day to wander and take pictures around the resort. <lb><lb>My wife doesn't want me to take my camera as she's worried about someone stealing it. I would carry it with me during the travel, but she's more concerned about leaving it in the room while we're at the pool or whatever. I figure I can place everything in the safe, but even though it's a 5-star, not sure how "safe" it would be (sorry). We don't have traveller's insurance. <lb><lb>Advice? Anyone ever have issues before?

Zero Two Theory

So, something I spotted in the r/anime discussion post for Ep12 but not anywhere here. Obviously, that's not okay.<lb><lb>Anyways, someone noticed that Zero Two's aloofness factor seems to comply with the amount of klaxosaur cores she shatters - that is to say, she gets some sort of satisfaction from destroying cores and becomes withdrawn when she's denied doing that, just as she has been for the past 2 episodes with Ep10 being a story episode and Ep9's klaxosaur being taken by Delphinium's nuke. Right after Zero Two destroys today's klaxosaur, she becomes a lot more affectionate than she's been all episode(even if that affection is heavily saturated with ominous foreshadowing).<lb><lb>It seems her need to kill klaxosaurs is so strong it actually affects her emotional state. Hopefully Hiro will take this opportunity to try and talk things out and get us some more fluff moments cause holy shit we've been in a drought lately.<lb><lb>I think it's been generally agreed that next episode is going to be Ikuno and Zero Two focused? It's also Episode 12, marking the halfway point so something important is bound to happen. Hopefully some light is finally going to be shed on Hiro's memory loss, leading to some resolution to their relationship. I'm all for the character building but I think it's time we get back to what everyone is *really* here for - Hiro and Zero Two being cute as fuck.

deathnote

L is a Shinigami conspiracy.

In episode 24, L questions Rem about the Death Note and Shinigamis. After L asks if Shinigamis only eat apples, Rem replies and tells L that Shinigamis stomachs are retrogressive. Anyone who has watched this anime should be able to tell that L should be obese or have diabetes/high blood pressure severe to the point that he is dying because of the amount of sweets he eats. Therefore, the only way L is alive at episode 24 is that his body has somehow found a way to protect him from dying to diabetes/high blood pressure. One way that his body could manage this is that his stomach is retrogressive, which is a trait found in shinigamis and not humans. Thus, I have concluded that there is a possibility that L has been bullshitting the whole series to have fun in the human world because he finds the shinigami world boring (much like Ryuk does). L might be a shinigami.

Five beginner questions [General]

I've been tinkering for a couple of days, and loving it so far. Using the app to enter data on the go is great, although discovering that we spend around 500 euros a month going out was a bit of an eye-opener! I have some questions.<lb><lb>1. About "give every dollar a job". How? I have an amount of money in my current account, and I've budgeted for this month and next month, and I still have stuff left over. Do I keep doing this indefinitely, or should I set up a "Savings" budget at this point? I guess it depends on what my goals are? What do you do? What did you do when you first started? I read the word "buffer" on [this page](http://classic.youneedabudget.com/support/article/rule-four-live-on-last-months-income). Is it time for that now?<lb>2. I use a credit card for all day-to-day purchases, which gets paid off every month. I use it exactly like a debit card (it's what my bank does, and having a separate debit card costs more money). I don't understand how the credit card works in YNAB. I buy some groceries using my credit card and whatever I've spent shows up as available budget in the "credit card" category (in a green blob on nYNAB). I'm confused by this.<lb>3. I live in Euros, but I have a GBP account in the UK that I mostly use to pay student loans (and for solvency when I visit my family there). I can't do anything with this money for day-to-day things, but it shows up in my "to be budgeted". Should I just assign all of this to the student loans category? Or should this be a different account type? I tried the "savings" account type but it seems that those dollars need jobs also. I don't understand what job I could give them, as I can't spend them on anything apart from my student loans (or one specific holiday).<lb>4. How do you handle multiple accounts in multiple currencies, seeing as YNAB has no native support for this? Between me and my wife, we have probably around 20 different accounts in four different currencies and countries. Right now I'm keeping my three in Euros (our day-to-day currency) and handling the exchange fees as outflow transactions when we move money between them. How do you handle it?<lb>5. My wife and I do not merge our finances. We have been keeping track of who owes whom how much in a spreadsheet. Is this something we can track in YNAB? We would love to abandon the spreadsheet if we can, because it's not fun having to input data twice each time we buy something.<lb><lb>Thanks.

Adderall is making my eye twitch

I've been using Adderall IR for quite a few years and once in a great while, I would get an eyebrow twitch for a minute that no one but myself could notice. The day before yesterday, the bottom eyelid of my left eye started twitching (only noticeable by me). It lasts about a minute or two then comes back in about 20 minutes. I've been on the same prescription for a while (20 mg spread throughout the day). It's not really a huge problem, but more of a distraction and annoyance. I have a fairly healthy diet and am quite fit. Has anyone else had this issue? Has anyone resolved it? Thanks!

Help in deciding to consolidate or not

So I put in the paperwork for consolidation and just got it back yesterday that it was accepted. My loans total up to ~54k and the consolidated interest rate would be 6.2%. <lb><lb>The thing though is that I have 15 individual loans, and their interest rates range from 2.0% to 6.7%. Now the 2 biggest chunks of my loans are both at 6.7% but there are a handful of loans that are ~1-3k in size that have interest rates 1.7%-4%.<lb><lb>I attempted the consolidation because right now my loan payments were totaling up to around $650 a month, which I can not afford right now (I make good money but a lot of what I make goes to rent/car and wife is currently unemployed and can't help out). So by going to a graduated payment plan, after talking to the people at Navient it looked like I would be setting up a monthly payment of ~$300 or so,which I can easily do.<lb><lb>The whole process has me super anxious, looking at the "end amount paid" and seeing it at like $120k is very disheartening and makes me feel like i'll never be done paying on this stuff...

Please tell me I'm not a monster

EDIT: Thank you for everyone who has and will respond. It is incredibly comforting to know I'm not the only one having things like this pop into my head! You guys are awesome.<lb><lb>Some background, I have a small group of friends from university, 5 women all together. We all consider each other besties still even though we don't see each other as often as we'd like (life always seems to be busy). Two are married with young kids, the rest of us married no kids yet. One of them just got married 2 months ago (we were all in her wedding party) and I knew they were going to try for kids asap and all of my friends know where we're at in our TTC journey. <lb>Well yesterday she let us know that she was 8 weeks pregnant (wedding night conception!) but was currently miscarrying and my instant gut reaction was one of relief and jealousy. Relief that maybe they wouldn't have a baby before us and jealousy that they got pregnant right away. Those feelings were just as quickly replaced with sadness and empathy for one of my best friends. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. The rest of the day and after sleeping on it I still feel like crap even though no one knows how I was feeling (I didn't even say anything to my husband). <lb>I've had so many people announce their pregnancies and for some reason this one hit me way worse than any others (I literally just posted about how I'm mostly positive and easy going). Please tell me someone has had these reactions before and I'm not a heartless person.

Santa Ynez recommendations?

My wife and I leave for Solvang tomorrow. We have a few vineyards that we are definitely going to visit - Rideau, Beckman, and Foxen. It's been almost 10 years since we've been to that area. Anyone with recommendations on where else to go? Any hidden gems that are off the beaten path?

The closing song in the end of season 3 is just so fitting in this show. Stars by Nina Simmone is like telling bojack's story in a song. Nina Simmone herself has a story which kinda similar with bojack, she also had some mental illness and self loathing. This show is just..art.

Feeling slightly guilty about the 'adult furry' side of the Zootopia community

This movie is meant to be an innocent film for all ages, with children in mind. I feel bad about some 'suggestive' comments I've made in the past about Nick and Judy, when perhaps some people wanted to enjoy them for the sweet children's characters they are. From now on, I want to stick to calling them 'cute' and about how I want to hug them, snuggle them etc but no further than that. I don't seriously find them sexually attractive, it's just something I like to exaggerate and joke about, but I should stop doing that. So basically, this is sort of an apology?

How do you get your cloth wipes wet?

Yesterday was my 7 week old daughter's first day in cloth. (Yay!) I'm definitely really happy with how it went except for one thing. I had bought a spray bottle to fill with water so that I could use it to get my cloth wipes wet when I did a diaper change, but I kind of hate it. I feel like the water sprays everywhere and gets her dresser and changing pad damp as well which I don't like. I know that a lot of people just use the bathroom sink, but the floor plan of our house doesn't make that an ideal solution either. I figured I'd ask how people here wet your wipes in the hopes that one of your solutions will work for me.

Question about my undercut

I have had an undercut for a while and I've never really liked it for more than a week after getting cut. I have my part on my right side and my hair goes across to my left. The hair length of the top gradually decreases from right to left. I fee that I have too much volume on the side with longer hair. If I even out the hair on top, making it all the same length, will I be able to part the direction of my hair the other way? When I try that now it doesn't look good.

Advice for a relative newcomer

Hey everyone, hopefully this is a good sub to post this. <lb><lb>I've been trying to get into doing comedy for about 5 years now. It has been my dream to be a stand up comic since I was a kid. I tried my first open mic a few years ago. Nothing special but I considered it a good experience and I wanted to do it again. I gave it another 2 or 3 goes and then just...stopped. About a year after that, I went back to writing material and got back on stage. Again it went well, and again I just stopped. Now about 2 months ago I tried to get really serious about it. Told myself I'd try to write every day, go to open mics as often as possible. I went to one, it went okay, and now I've just stopped yet again. <lb><lb>I'm not sure what my problem is. I know I enjoy being on stage and I know I like writing jokes (even if i don't really know how). This is supposed to be my dream, but something is keeping me from committing. I know this isn't a psychology or support sub or anything, so I'm trying not to whine. But I wanted to know if anyone else has had problems with getting on stage or making the effort to routinely do this and has had success in overcoming that. <lb><lb>Any advice or starting points as far as how to be a successful joke writer or comic would be greatly appreciated.

Purple magic isn't evil, it's just dark/negative feelings**<lb>In the Episode Bon Bon the birthday clown, Star uses Eclipsa's spell to spy on Jackie, Marco and Glossaryrik. The spell itself wasn't evil, the reasoning behind it was out of jealousy or feelings of hurt and insecurity. <lb><lb>Added: In the season 3 finale Star fights Meteora as she uses a purple magic blast.<lb><lb>**2. Green magic is either evil or Soul related**<lb><lb>Meteora and Toffee both use green magic to take the souls out of their victims as seen in Starcrushed. Ludo didn't take souls, because he didn't have the skill, but his type of magic he was using was either evil or not strong enough to take a soul without Toffee's guidance. In the episode 'Baby' where Star uses green magic to make the apple grow, I think it's the reverse of soul taking and creating life, hence why Baby thought she was so advanced.<lb><lb>**3. Star will be just fine without a wand**<lb><lb>In season 2, My new wand! Glossaryk explained that Star's wand just nearly skims the surface of magic and the wand basically just transfers the magic to her. Since she learned to 'dip down' means she is able to access other magic in another realm to herself. Star is able to summon the magic herself, which means even without a wand she potentially can access all the magic in the 'magic realm'. I am curious since the realm was mentioned so often with no plot development other than the unicorn, they might reuse it as a source of Star's power next season.<lb><lb><lb>What do you guys think?<lb><lb>

Breeding Giants/Super Giants

Heya folks. So I finally got my breeding program in order and have eggs on the way. I just wanted to ask some questions as I couldn't find too much information about the actuality of breeding for Giants/Super Giants. All my breeders are Giants.<lb>1. Is the gene co-dominant or more recessive? I've heard from Ron Tremper that he says its co-dom, yet other reputable breeders( Geckoboa etc) say its more of recessive.<lb>2. Is it possible for a Super Giant to have the SG copies of the gene( RR for example) yet be only the size of a giant? Or would you absolutely know its a SG?<lb>3. Does anyone have a growth chart of SG as hatchlings? Like their length/weight out of the egg compared to normals?<lb>I know these questions are difficult, but I'm trying to understand what to expect in the coming months, and especially help from SG/G breeders.

[5e][question] Looking at ASI vs feat on a dwarven gloom stalker/rogue

ok, so I'm making a level 6 backup character, and my character concept is a Hill Dwarf Rogue/Gloom Stalker. The basic background is that he was a merchant/smuggler who was caught a long time back with a list of charges, and a la Game of Thrones, a criminal in my DM's campaign setting can, instead of serving their sentence in jail, take a shorter sentence fighting orcs in the northern mountain border. He was always a pretty good shot and so with his abilities he was recruited to join a squadron of gloom stalkers. I really like the aesthetic of a gritty Dwarven ranger using crossbows in the dark cavernous mountain tunnels, which is where the build comes in.<lb><lb>For the build, I'm starting Rogue 1, then going into Ranger til 1/5, and then will need to decide whether to go back to ranger or stick with rogue. We will use the revised ranger/gloom stalker. I anticipate going back to Rogue til at least 3 and snagging arcane trickster \(snuffing out fires with control flame, mage hand nonsense, and sneak attack 2d6 sounds great\). We use the standard array, so I'll be going 10/15/14\(16\)/12/13\(14\)/8. Ideally I'd like to get Sharpshooter and Crossbow Expert. I just don't know when I should take them. With a 15 in Dex, I'm thinking my first ASI should go into Acrobat or something for the \+1 dex, but then should I keep pumping Dex before I go into another feat, or should I go ahead and take Sharpshooter? Is Sharpshooter or Cbow Expert viable with just 15 in Dex? With his great HP, should I ditch the ranged feats and just go dual wielding? I could do that but that sharpshooter damage is really awesome. What are your thoughts, r/3d6?

As we all know there are generational nicknames over the years but I haven't heard the definitive nickname for us +15 models. From what I've seen everyone refers to the headlights as c-lights but has someone already made a nickname that people are running with?

vaginismus

First post here- 2 questions

Hi! I've been following this subreddit for a while and I have finally decided to post some questions that I have wanted to ask for a while. It's been almost a year since I learned about vaginismus and I started using the dilators in June of 2017.<lb>1. I'm on the 2nd dilator of the Vaginismus.com dilators and I have been able to get 3/4 in before with no pain at all, but that was months ago and now I'm lucky to get 50% of it inside now. I'm worried about how long it is taking me to get back to having 3/4 of the dilator in because I was so happy with my progress and now it's almost a struggle. Is there anything I can do that might help me get back to 3/4 with the 2nd dilator? <lb>2. I have heard that if you can get halfway or more of the dilator in then it is past the PC muscles and that you do not have to worry about getting the whole dilator inside.When I was on the first dilator I had just a little bit that would not go in and I was told not to worry about it because other women had similar issues. Is this true? <lb>Sorry for the long post.

Could use Tinder advice

Work was busy and my social life was down to 0. That time is past so I have re-installed Tinder and also noticed why I removed it in the first time: Girls don't talk, at all. At least, not to me.<lb><lb>Lets apply some conditions to this case: My photo is fine, I get sufficient matches and the picture gets graded good enough on a dating website. The text underneath is fine, it is neatly clever with a wink to Tinder in general; it has received positive feedback in the past.<lb><lb>Yet, getting the matches is as far as I get. For this topic lets say I have 20 matches since I've reinstalled, and to 10 of them I've initiated a conversation. I tend to engage a situation, so various openers are: (1) "Wow, a puppy &lt;3!" (Girl had a puppy on one of her pictures) (2) "Woah, what were you doing up at that time?" (Girl matched me at 3 AM) (3) "You really have the perfect amount of pictures" (Girl has 1 picture, same as me (note that my bio refers to this to tackle the potential risk in this).<lb><lb>So I you get the hang of it, I use situation openers. This suits my personality. I'm somewhat introvert and somewhat risk avers. I know I can be bolt, creative, chatty. Dodgy, all the way to a funny trash-talker about all the nonsense things in the world: but that just isn't me. I'd create a significant gap between how I present myself on tinder and how I'd be in real-life. Unfortunately I've had 0 responses. Out of the 10 girls I didn't start a conversation with, also 0 said "hi" to me.<lb><lb>I've had dates from Tinder in the past, but the dates/matches ratio is insanely poor. I know this is somewhat part of tinder, but in my case it is ridiculous. The goal now isn't to get laid as much as possible, nor find a date. It can be both; the goal is the engage a proper conversation and meet people in real life. At this stage it isn't relevant if that would be the girl I might marry or a fuckbuddy for the next month or so: I can deal with that objective at a later stage. I've access go female friends who are willing to help me on this: but women feel like really poor authorities on how to engage women. They seem to tailor everything to their own interpretation of a Disney prince which simply can't be blindly applied on a larger sample group successfully.<lb><lb>Any advice or good links are welcome. Unfortunately pages I've found on my own seem to have no avail for my e-game.

Idea for a game mode in Fatal Bullet

I'm currently rewatching SAO II to get hyped for the upcoming game and not sure if they plan on doing this but it'd be interesting if they added a battle royale game mode calling it "Bullet of Bullets". I'm not much of a fan of battle royale type games but would thought it would be a pretty cool concept. What do you guys think?

I think we have reached a stalemate...

The only new posts on this sub are just new fans restating already know theories and discontented older fans grasping at straws. I think that any and all theories from only the first 10 videos have been thoroughly exhausted to the point where literally anything could be seen as a hint. Until Petscop 11, I think there's nothing more we can do.

Shoplifting

First lift/return

** UPDATE **<lb>So I've done my returns already. I had a pretty solid excuse as well, so solid that the manager sympathized with the hassle I had to go through to return them. The store I returned them to is on a completely different side of town (almost an hour away). They also didn't have a limit and I got just a little over $200 for the shampoos. Just told them I work at a salon and that the owner bought these and then found a better deal online. I appreciate all of your advice! If LP or management suspects me then it certainly wasn't clear when I made the return. Ended up buying myself a new laptop for school at the end of all this.<lb><lb>----------------------------------<lb><lb>Went pretty smoothly. I'm relatively new to all of this and I've learned that I love to lift, but I'm out of things to lift that I personally need. Even my friends are running out of things they need.<lb><lb>So I figured I would start lifting and returning. I wasn't quite sure what to get since I want a to get a high dollar on my return, so I started looking at high end beauty products at the big blue retailer since I know they're not tagged and are easy to put in my purse. Went to store A and got 3 bottles of shampoo that were $31 each as a start. Went to Store B and returned the items for store credit (of course they asked for ID). Went to the beauty section and got 4 of the same shampoos, concealed, and walked out. Plan to return them soon at Store A. <lb><lb>Two questions:<lb><lb>1) How long should I wait to return them?

Hey, feeling kinda shit and need to vent/get some advice.<lb><lb>Me (24M) and my WS (21F) have been together for about 4.5 years now. We’ve had some ups and downs like anyone else, but nothing serious except for about a year after my friend took his own life two summers ago. Even before that she’s been suffering from depression, and that happening nearly broke us up, for whatever reason. Bith were devastated and didn’t know hoq to cope, I guess. I’d probably say we’ve stopped doing fun stuff, mainly due to university being demanding, and neither of us having any energy after school.<lb><lb>This Monday was DDay. She told me she had ”done something stupid”, and I instantly understood what she meant.<lb><lb>She didn’t come home on Saturday night when we had both been partying separately, due to me having a thing involving extra-curricular activity. We had however partied the day before together.<lb><lb>I got home and went to bed pretty early, but woke up at around 6 AM and noticed she wasn’t in bed. I was really worried, not only because it’s very cold outside, but something might have happened to her. So I called her, texted her, and snapchatted several times over 3 hours or so.<lb><lb>When she got home at around 11, she said something about her passing out and sleeping at a friends place. Fine I thought, many, including me have done that.<lb><lb>2 days later, when we were watching TV i reached in to kiss her, and she turned away, then turned to me and said it. I don’t remember the details of how she said it, probably due to a surge of adrenaline.<lb><lb>I went into our bedroom to try to wrap my head around it, but then went over to a friends house to talk and not having to be at home.<lb><lb>She then called me and asked were I was, and I just said who I was going to. She then called me a few times during the evening, telling me to please come home, but we mostly just sat and said nothing on the phone.<lb><lb>When I got home I sat at the dinner table, couldn’t look at her or talk to her. When she sat across me, I said ”I’m looking for a new place tomorrow”.<lb>She then started crying, and I started to cry, and she begged me to at least wait.<lb><lb>I later said I’ll try, but I won’t make any promises. During the last few days we’ve barely talked our touched. I don’t know what to say.<lb><lb>But I asked her why, and she said ”I don’t know,”. I asked who, and she said it was some guy she didn’t really know, just met a few times through mutual friends. But you know, ”can I trust her?” I asked to see her Snapchat and Messenger, and she had at least never talked to the guy on those apps, so as far as I know, it was a ONS. I also told her how hurt I was, sad, angry.<lb><lb>How do I move on? I love her, and I know she loves me, which makes it hurt even more. I wanna punch that fucking douchebag in the face, but I don’t know if he knew she had a boyfriend, and I know it won’t make it better. I want to forgive her, or at least I think I do, but I don’t know if I will be able to. <lb><lb>I can barely look her in the eyes, and I get flashes of her having sex with that guy and it disgusts and hurts me. I want to know the details, but I don’t at the same time. I feel like it will hurt me more.<lb><lb>Any advice on how to move forward, how to at least attempt to make it work?<lb><lb>Sorry for the rant.

She then called me and asked were I was, and I just said who I was going to. She then called me a few times during the evening, telling me to please come home, but we mostly just sat and said nothing on the phone. When I got home I sat at the dinner table, couldn't look at her or talk to her. When she sat across me, I said "I'm looking for a new place tomorrow". She then started crying, and I started to cry, and she begged me to at least wait. I later said I'll try, but I won't make any promises. During the last few days we've barely talked our touched. I don't know what to say. But I asked her why, and she said "I don't know,". I asked who, and she said it was some guy she didn't really know, just met a few times through mutual friends. But you know, "can I trust her?" I asked to see her Snapchat and Messenger, and she had at least never talked to the guy on those apps, so as far as I know, it was a ONS. I also told her how hurt I was, sad, angry. How do I move on? I love her, and I know she loves me, which makes it hurt even more. I wanna punch that fucking douchebag in the face, but I don't know if he knew she had a boyfriend, and I know it won't make it better. I want to forgive her, or at least I think I do, but I don't know if I will be able to. I can barely look her in the eyes, and I get flashes of her having sex with that guy and it disgusts and hurts me. I want to know the details, but I don't at the same time. I feel like it will hurt me more. Any advice on how to move forward, how to at least attempt to make it work? Sorry for the rant.

Hoping to make aliyah next year... Please share your stories

Shalom! My fiance and I are hoping to make aliyah from Toronto, Canada to Tel Aviv or Haifa next year, and I'm looking for some stories/feedback/anything you have to share, please.<lb><lb>I'm 31 years old and am looking forward to finally making this a reality, if possible. My fiance is 27 and we don't have kids yet, and now seems like the perfect time.<lb><lb>- This seems odd to share but it's important and I'm hoping someone has some feedback in this area: I'm currently not in contact with my dad (my Jewish side - although my mom converted and I was raised Jewish through and through, which I find myself overexplaining to every person who says, "Oh, you're not a real Jew then"). And despite many calls and messages to my bubbi and aunt, I'm not getting through. My mom passed away and I can't prove her conversion. So how can I prove that I'm Jewish? I just did a dna test and have the raw data to prove it (and discovered David Ben-Gurion is a distant cousin!), but that probably wouldn't fly lol. I have cousins in Israel, could they somehow help me prove it? Or do I need a direct document from my grandparents or closer?<lb><lb>- We've saved $15,000 USD and are continuing to save for the next year, but after reading some other posts I'm afraid this won't be enough... Please share your stories, or plans if you haven't made the move yet, on how much you saved beforehand or are planning to save!<lb><lb>- We have three rescue pets that we can't leave behind (two dogs and a cat); does anyone have experience with bringing their pets?<lb><lb>- I'm planning on continuing to work online as a captioner/transcriber. My fiance has a college degree and experience as tech support and account manager in a main global IT company. With little to no hebrew, how hard will it be for him to find a job? Is there any demand for english-speaking account managers?<lb><lb>Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this. I'd love to hear your stories/experiences. I'm looking for realistic feedback, but hopefully also some encouragement haha. Toda raba!

Should the game have no outline for the models in the first place?

When it comes to 3D games, I didn't really mind outlines in the first place, but when I learned that without outlines, the game was way smoother and it made the models look way nicer.<lb><lb>So here's my question for the community: <lb>Should the outlines of the models in Yandere Simulator be removed by default?

Porsche

I'm going to look at a 2000 Boxster tomorrow. 60,000 miles and we made a deal at 10,000. Is this too good to be true? What should I be weary of?

I've never owned a Porsche before but it's always been my dream. I figured this was a good starting point. I am moving to Italy in May and this will be my primary vehicle for the 3 years that I'm there so I'm hoping it is in decent shape. Can anyone recommend some things I should look out for? Thank you.<lb><lb><lb>Edit: I appreciate everyone who chimed in. Will definitely ask about the IMS bearing and get a PPI done. For those curious enough this is the car in going to go see. <lb><lb><lb>https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/d/porsche-boxster-red-classic/6506944808.html
