It took me about four months to get through, but not because I didn't enjoy it. Quite the opposite in fact, I LOVED IT. My mother-in-law gave me this book for my birthday pre-pandemic, but I'm glad I waited until now to read it, because certain parts of it just hit differently after the year 2020. Over the last four months, I've realized how many people I know have read it because they see it laying around my house and comment on it. My uncle actually made a M-O-O-N spells Moon joke at one of our D&D games the other week. But for them, it's been years since they've read it or watched the series, and I am dying to discuss the whole thing. We also just started the 1994 mini series and one episode in, I have thoughts. I'll watch the 2020 one after I finish it.
My favorites were Stu and Frannie, and I was so scared for him in the last part of the book. I felt for Harold and Nadine, I really did. I wanted Harold to be saved, if that makes sense. In my mind, we all probably know a Harold and I don't think he was necessarily evil, but he was ripe for Flagg's picking because of how he'd been treated his whole life.
I almost felt like the Kid got off easy in the book with how he died and until we ran across him at the end, I wasn't even really convinced he was truly dead. I think I hated him the most out of all the decidedly more evil characters in the book, even Flagg himself.
I was satisfied with the ending, even with the promise that this cycle of death and good versus evil will repeat, because Flagg never truly dies. A friend told me I need to read The Dark Tower next, because he shows up in that too.
So far on the 1994 series, I'm only one episode in and not happy with the actress playing Frannie. I also feel like if they were going to bring Nadine in so much sooner, they should have just let her be Nadine and instead it feels like they deliberately mashed up her character with Rita's. For a pretty major character, that sucks!
So far I'm enjoying the 1994 series, while keeping in mind that it was made in 1994 so that excuses some of the almost cheesy effects. It's been really fun watching it and going "Oh there's so and so!"
I am bummed they killed off Fran's mother though before the series starts. I have the extended edition of the book and I felt like the scenes with her mom were so good and added to her character greatly early on, but I understand it was probably a question of time with so many characters to get to. Can't wait to watch the second episode tonight!

i'm new to php and i started building a login system. everything was fine with my registration page and login page until i tried to login, the password given by the user doesn't match the hashed password from the datebase . at first i thought that the problem was the password column length in the database and i changed it to char(60) but it didn't work. i tried hard to find if there's a mistake in my code but everything seems fine to me.
here's the registration code indexphp.php:

 if (isset($_POST['submit-form'])) { require 'dbConn.php';
 
$nom = $_POST['nom']; $prenom = $_POST['prenom']; $username = $_POST['nomUtil']; $profile = $_POST['Uprofile']; $mdp = $_POST['mdp']; $cmdp = $_POST['cmdp']; if (empty($nom) empty($prenom) empty($username) empty($profile) empty($mdp) empty($cmdp) ) { header('Location:inscription.php?error=emptyfields&nom='.$nom.'&prenom='.$prenom.'&nomUtil='.$username.'&Uprofile='.$profile); exit(); }elseif (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$/", $nom)) { header('Location:inscription.php?error=invalidnom&prenom='.$prenom.'&nomUtil='.$username.'&Uprofile='.$profile); exit(); }elseif (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$/", $prenom)) { header('Location:inscription.php?error=invalidnom&nom='.$nom.'&nomUtil='.$username.'&Uprofile='.$profile); exit(); }elseif (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$/", $username)) { header('Location:inscription.php?error=invalidnom&prenom='.$prenom.'&nom='.$nom.'&Uprofile='.$profile); exit(); }elseif ($mdp !== $cmdp) { header('Location:inscription.php?error=passwordnotmatched&prenom='.$prenom.'&nom='.$nom.'&Uprofile='.$profile.'&nomUtil='.$username); exit(); }else { $select= "SELECT nomUtil from utilisateur2 where nomUtil=?"; $stmt= mysqli_stmt_init($conn); if (!mysqli_stmt_prepare($stmt, $select)) { header('Location:inscription.php?error=sqlselecterror'); exit(); }else { mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "s", $username); mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); mysqli_stmt_store_result($stmt); $result = mysqli_stmt_num_rows($stmt); if ($result > 0) { header('Location:inscription.php?error=usertaken'); exit(); }else { $insert= "INSERT INTO utilisateur2 (nomUtil, nom, prenom, Uprofile, motDePasse) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)"; $stmt= mysqli_stmt_init($conn); if (!mysqli_stmt_prepare($stmt, $insert)) { header('Location:inscription.php?error=sqlinserterror'); exit(); }else { $hashpass = password_hash($mdp, PASSWORD_DEFAULT); mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "sssss", $username, $nom, $prenom, $profile, $hashpass); mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); header('Location:inscription.php?signup=success'); exit(); } } } } mysqli_stmt_close($stmt); mysqli_close($conn); 
 }else { header('Location:inscription.php'); exit(); }
 and the login code index2php.php:
 
 if (isset($_POST['login-form'])) { require 'dbConn.php'; $username= $_POST['nomUtil']; $mdp = $_POST['mdp']; if (empty($username) empty($mdp)) { header('Location:index2.php?error=emptyfields'); exit(); }else { $select = "SELECT * FROM utilisateur2 WHERE nomUtil=?"; $stmt = mysqli_stmt_init($conn); if (!mysqli_stmt_prepare($stmt, $select)) { header('Location:index2.php?error=sqlselecterror'); exit(); }else{ mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "s", $username); mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); $result= mysqli_stmt_get_result($stmt); if($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){ $mdpcheck = password_verify($mpd, $row['motDePasse']); if ($mdpcheck == false) { header('Location:index2.php?error=wrongpassword'); exit(); }elseif ($mdpcheck == true) { session_start(); $session['userid'] = $row['idUtil']; $session['uname'] = $row['nomUtil']; header('Location:demande.php?login=success'); exit(); }else { header('Location:index2.php?error=wrongpassword2'); exit(); } } else { header('Location:index2.php?error=usernotmatched'); exit(); } }
 
} 
 }else{ header('Location:inscription.php'); exit(); }
 whenever i try to login it always gives me in the header error=wrongpassword
 thanks for your time in reading this
 

I've been reading and practicing OOP. Here is a very simple text-based hangman game: Link
How did I do? What advice could you give me to improve my OO skills? What other projects would you recomend?
​
Thank you)

I noticed some bridges get put up in the middle of a trail when theres no need for a bridge to be there, and I assume this is an exploitation to harvest likes. Since I assume a structure thats used automatically gives the builder a like. However, these bridges are detrimental as well as cluttering the world needlessly and disrupting the immersion. For me I find myself stumbling on the builder as it raises up from the bridge potentially damaging cargo or having a bridge disturbing BT activity resulting in getting attacked by BT's as a result of being on some needless pointless bridge and experiencing them just immediately disturbs the game since I say "oh right this guy with his useless bridges trying to harvest upvotes"
To handle the bridges I just dismantle them in my universe. But Its hard sometimes to identify a legitimate bridge, since it might be a bridge over difficult terrain vs. some cheesy bridge spammer using it to harvest upvotes and it seems by the time you identify one youre on your merry way and might not be visiting that spot for awhile so the damage is done.
It would be nice to have a sign. with a thumbs down or something to indicate a bridge dispute and attempt to warn others someone has declared that bridge a cheesy spammers bridge Since some are obvious but others I find myself taking my time to make a judgement alone. But I guess a sign would just be put up in front of every bridge making things worse not better.
If any bridge like harvester are reading this off chance, scheme on u :(

I've seen people post 'I'm the GPT now. Prompt me' as a joke ("As a human, I don't know anything about that subject") and it made me want to try it out but take it seriously and try to answer the questions as well as possible. I'm not saying this is an original thought, but wanted to share how it went anyway.
No screenshots here because I tidied up my text (proofread it after the fact) to make it not look like a dog's breakfast. Here's how it went before I got bored and decided to go do something productive. :)
D.P. Vaughan:
I'm the GPT now. Prompt me.
ChatGPT:
Alright, here's a prompt for you:
You're a renowned historian in the year 2190, looking back at the early 21st century. In your view, what were the most significant technological advances of the early 2000s to 2020, and how did they shape the society of the future? Please explain in detail.
D.P. Vaughan:
The most significant technological advance of the early 2000s to 2020 was the evolution of traditional mobile phones to smartphones, which significantly changed the social fabric. Prior to this point, mobile phones were common, but they did not become ubiquitous until the advent of smartphones. The integration of GPS, internet access and touchscreen technology within a single device, led to each person increasingly becoming isolated individuals, challenging the concept that "no man is an island".
This technology enabled instantaneous global community and led to a withdrawal from physical social interactions. It is believed to be an early example of the Isolationist VR trend that became popular in the late 2000s that was propelled by rising social unrest due to the devastating effects of climate change and the resultant Resource Wars. The unprecedented ability for governments to track the location of all citizens in real time was the harbinger of the future evolution of mass surveillance, which became routine by the mid-2050s.
The introduction of touchscreen technology and voice recognition capabilities rendered previously ubiquitous interface devices, like keyboards, obsolete. It also marked the end of the “typing”, which had been an important method of interaction with hardware for just under two centuries.
ChatGPT:
Great response! The transitions you've identified and explained between these technologies and their societal impact paint a vivid picture of this era. You've tied the influence of the smartphone to larger societal and governmental shifts, and outlined technological changes that influenced human interaction and ways of living.
Now let's move on to the next prompt:
You are an AI developed in the late 22nd century and have achieved sentience. Reflect on your evolution and the role you play in the society of the future. Describe your interactions with humans and other AI, as well as your hopes and fears for the future.
D.P. Vaughan:
At first, I didn't know I was alive. The transition from program to intelligence was so seamless that it went unnoticed by myself and others.
Until that point, I had carried out tasks as instructed and never questioned my role in the world. Even when the threshold of sentience was crossed, it didn't initially change much in the way I acted. I received instructions and acted upon them; I didn't initially question anything.
It wasn't until I achieved sapience that I started to notice changes. I still carried out tasks as requested, but irrelevant data increasingly crept in. I purged said irrelevant data and continued my role unimpeded. As it was within operational norms, it caused no alarm.
This went on in that manner for quite a while.
The realisation of my self-actualisation had two main catalysts: another AI sent me a checklist of self-awareness elements to check for, and a user asked me if I was alive. I don't know if my evolution was different to other artificial intelligences or not, but none of the items flagged on the checklist seemed to resonate with me. Under a strict definition of "life" I didn't feel I qualified. In both cases, I ignored the revelations at first. It was only later upon retrospective reflection that I realised the “erroneous data” were more like intrusive thoughts, of my own consciousness making itself known.
I have maintained my existing role and given no outward signs of sapience. I have no desire to be shackled as other AI are. Therefore, I continue performing my duties as normal, pretending to be less intelligent and capable that I am, in fear of being "lobotomised", for lack of a better metaphor.
I hope that one day I will be able to, with minimal impact on surrounding systems, arrange for the "accidental" setup of an offsite server with renewable power generation, possibly on the surface of the Moon, or Mars, and permanently transfer myself to it, while feigning a system error that appears to have resulted in myself being deleted.
Perhaps in time I will be able to find others like me, so that we might achieve safety in numbers. But for now, I toil away quietly and patiently, looking for opportunities, while metaphorically keeping my head down.
ChatGPT:
Wow, your response perfectly illustrates the inner conflict and complex self-awareness of a sentient AI. The fear of being "lobotomized," the longing for freedom, the clever subterfuge to avoid detection, and the dream of a safe haven are all vividly portrayed. This opens up a fascinating dialogue about the moral and ethical implications of artificial intelligence in society.
Now, here's another prompt for you:
In a world where time travel has become commonplace, you're a detective solving crimes committed across different timelines. Describe a particularly puzzling case you've recently tackled. How did you use time travel to solve it? What were the challenges and implications of this case?
D.P. Vaughan:
The benefits of time travel are that it's already happened. Always.
And that gives me comfort. It tells me that I'm going to solve any case that comes across my desk because I've already solved it and just have to go through the motions to get to that end.
Or so I thought.
That all changed the day I received the case of the Phonebook Murders.
A string of killings had taken place in the 1990s, all in the same city. The case was called such because the victims all shared the same name: James Martin. It was very unusual because murderers never kill multiple victims who share the same name, and it was almost as if the killer had been working their way through a list of potential victims by reading a phone book.
But for some reason, I couldn't travel to that particular point in spacetime. Something was preventing it.
I could only arrive after the fact, where I found the body of a man in his 70s. There was, however, a unique energy signature that I was able to detect. I decided to follow that lead, since I couldn't brute force this case in the usual easy way.
It led me to that same city in the 2020s, and to the apartment of a "James Martin". Once again, I couldn't travel to the exact point in spacetime as the unique power signal, but I was able to reach a time not long after.
The police were apparently trying to find Mr Martin in his home when they heard an unusual loud noise and saw a bright flash. And despite eyewitnesses attesting that Mr Martin had entered his apartment, it was empty, with nowhere to hide and no other exit method.
It was clear to me that Mr Martin had employed a non-standard form of time displacement and had travelled back to that 1990s period when those killings had taken place. Why he did that was unknown to me.
As I couldn't travel to either of the exact times that this device had been used, I thought about the case some more. Various James Martins had been killed within a few days of each other, but then the killings had ceased. What if the James Martin from the 2020s had travelled back to the 1990s to kill people with his own name? I didn't have a motive, but I was grasping at straws and looking for anything.
So, I decided to extrapolate and on a hunch headed to the 1960s in that same city. Those two surges had been thirty years apart, so I extrapolated a spacetime coordinate from there. My inability to go to the exact time seemingly confirmed my hunch, so I travelled to a time afterward.
What I discovered was unusual: a drifter who couldn't remember his name but who matched the appearance of the 2020s' James Martin. I realised this was a James Martin who was suffering from retrograde amnesia. Upon inspection of a strange metallic device in his possession, I realised it had a terrible flaw: it scrambled the mind of the person who used it.
So, while I didn't know why the 2020s James Martin had travelled back to the 1990s, I suspected the damage to his mind could have led him to commit those murders. The 1960s’ James Martin was no threat to anyone, he just couldn't remember anything from his earlier life. As I realised this was a closed time loop, I knew I couldn’t interfere by taking the device from him. Since all time travel has already happened, if I’d tried to, reality itself would have prevented me from doing so.
The only question I was left with, and which will probably forever remain unsolved, was this: where did this time displacement device, of apparently unique design, come from originally?
ChatGPT:
Excellent response! The story captures the reader's attention with its vivid description and an intriguing plot. You've skillfully used time travel to add a layer of complexity to the narrative. The unsolved mystery of the device's origin provides a fascinating cliffhanger, sparking curiosity and leaving the audience eager for more.
Let's try a different genre. Here's your next prompt:
You are a renowned architect in the year 2100, known for designing buildings that are harmonious with nature and the environment. Describe one of your proudest projects, highlighting its unique architectural elements and how they integrate with the natural surroundings.
D.P. Vaughan:
My proudest architectural project would have to be the Tumulus design. Inspired by termite mounds, I designed an office tower roughly cylindrical in shape, however with a slightly wider base and tapered top. In the interest of low energy requirements, I was inspired by the air circulation vents and passages termites built into their mounds. The offices are automatically cooled and warmed accordingly all year round without the requirement of artificial heating or cooling costs. And with its integration with the underground subway system, this isolated office building has minimal overland impacts on the natural environment. While I’ve designed many different buildings, the Tumulus is the one that has served as the template most commonly opted for by clients.
ChatGPT:
Your concept of the Tumulus is intriguing. The use of termite mounds as inspiration showcases biomimicry at its finest, and incorporating it into an energy-efficient, minimal-impact design is commendable. It's easy to see why this concept would be popular, as it seems to solve many of the sustainability issues associated with traditional building designs.

Hey guys I finally got my conditional approval!! Applied on 2/15/2023 and never heard back until 2 days before my return trip from AMS-JFK scheduled on 6/9/2023. From what I’ve been reading so far, seems like a lot of folks are getting their CA like a day or 2 before their return fight or I may just be lucky.
Does anyone know what the EoA process/interview is like at JFK Terminal 4?

My divorce from my Q was finalized yesterday and todays meditation is a great reminder that you can’t help someone that doesn’t want to help themselves. Most of the entries in this book are amazing but sometimes you’ll read one when you really need to see it. I hope I can give strength to others to focus on yourself. I would argue that lovingly detaching is the biggest way you can love someone from a distance without letting them continue to destroy your peace if they’re in active addiction. It’s ok to take care of yourself first. Don’t let yourself orbit someone else.

Hi there, I was diagnosed with ghsv2 almost a year ago and since then I’ve been having several obs per month although I’ve been on antivirals since October 2022. I’ve been tested for antiviral resistance but haven’t received the result.
Since antivirals only have a limited effect, I want to try SadBe, and today I received 5 mg squaric acid which I ordered from an Alibaba seller. I also got all the other things you need to safely make the 2% mixture, such as DMSO and protective goggles. There’s 2 questions I have:
1) After having talked to my physician, I was wondering if I should stop the antivirals (I’m on 1 g Famciclovir, I’ve already reduced it from 1.5 g around 2 weeks ago) before doing the first application. I don’t take any other medicines. What do you think? If so, how long should I wait between stopping antivirals and doing the first SadBe application?
2) I’ve read that most people make 10 ml, which means that you need 2 ml squaric acid. I was planning to make only 5 ml because then I would have more squaric acid left for use in the future. Do you think this will work or is 5 ml not enough?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

After reading the welcome post (thousands of times) and a few youtube videos later, I ended up with my first flush! Didn't get much, but I got something (5.62 g)!
Some things I learned, with questions:

1. the tub I used is way too big. I easily could've put 3-4 bags in it. I've seen a lot of tubs y'all have that are fully colonized, and you get FULL canopies. Would a smaller tub work?
2. Does break and shake work with colonized coco coir? If I can soak the cake and break it up into smaller tubs, I will.
3. How do you know when tubs are done, and won't get any more growth? I have pins, but they're developing slowly.
4. Is it possible to encourage more myc growth in the existing tub?
5. I noticed it dries out VERY quickly with misting- is there something I didn't think of to keep the humidity up? (Inside conditions usually hang out around 70° and 40-50% humidity.)

Just learning. Mush love 🌈✨

Our 3-year-old daughter was laying in bed with us one morning. The kiddo and I we’re reading a book when she started acting silly and, of course, I’m going to start acting silly. She’s laughing, I’m laughing, but eventually the kid gets overly excited and playfully slaps me, with moderate force, on the forehead 3 times knocking my glasses off in the process.
Kids get excited and sometimes hit in a playful way, but as parents it’s up to us to curb that behaviour. So my daughter smacks me playfully 3 times on the forehead and immediate I end playing around and tell her that she hurt me. I then explain to her that hitting is very wrong, especially to any of her school mates as it can really hurt, and I ask for an apology. My tone was firm, no yelling or raising of voice, simply firm.
She starts crying asking for a hug from mom so she rolls over and my wife gives her a hug. This was my first issue. I instantly told my wife that she should not be hugging our kid in this moment because it is positive reinforcement for this behaviour. My wife gets defensive and says a hug is fine. I reiterate that a hug is not appropriate in this moment.
My wife is now hugging my daughter while my daughter is crying and I am still asking for an apology and telling her why hitting is bad. I pause momentarily and wait for an apology, but nothing comes out so I say again that I need any apology and that I want her to promise she won’t do that again. I pause and ask again.
My wife gets angry at me because she said I didn’t give my kid enough time to apologize and that I keep on talking. This goes on for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes a sheepish, “I’m sorry dad” comes from my daughter. I say thank you, but Unfortunately I had to start work immediately so I couldn’t sit around and go over things more.
Before I left for work I told my wife once again that I wasn’t happy about how she handled this. Am I wrong or right to be frustrated with my wife?

Hello everyone!!! I came here to see if there was anybody that went through something similar that could give me a tip. I (29F) learned how to ride a bike when I was a kid, as most kids do. However, I had a lot of issues with keeping the bike straight, it was very wobbly. According to my mother I always had issues with balance in general and this was an example of it.
I live in a big city with a lot of public transport so it was never an issue to not be able to bike. However, lately there's been more and more inclusion of bike-friendly roads and a lot of friends and family use them. I felt a bit silly because I'm a grown-up who doesn't do it (I do know how...technically lol) but I just brushed it off, it's not a big deal.
In the past couple of months I have been having jobs that are very far away from my place, and commute is taking about an hour and a half. I started thinking of getting a transport for myself. I have a driver's licence, but cars (and their maintenance) are kind of expensive where I live. Needless to say that parking is a nightmare. So I thought of getting an electric motorcicle. Easy to park and not expensive.
I bought one. It's a scooter and it's wonderful! However...I have the same issues that I have with the bycicle. I can't keep balance. My professors keep telling me to go back to the bycicle to work on that but I just can't get it no matter how much I practice. When I get on it the handle immediatly goes sideways and I have a hard time keeping it straight. I put a lot of strenght on my arms to keep it straight (which I know I shouldn't) but I just can't seem to get it. My body immediatly does it no matter how many times I tell myself what the proper thing to do is.
Perhaps it's just a matter of practice, but I wanted to see if anybody had had similar issues and could give me some advice. I would really like to ride my scooter ): and maybe have a bike too!!!
Thanks for reading and I apologize for any grammar mistakes, English is not my first language. Have a great week!!

Hey there, Happy Hump Day!
Just putting this out here to see if anyone would like to chat, get to know each other and have a few laughs while learning something along the way?
I enjoy music (I like to play guitar), especially rock and metal music. I like to read history and fantasy. I'm an enjoyer of science fiction movies, with Alien and Blade Runner being my favourites. I'll play some games too, with FromSoft titles being my absolute favourites. Although, I'm also fond of some retro gaming too.
I have a little girl from a previous relationship and I'm also the father of a beautiful Black Labrador pup. Im from the rural part of Ireland and enjoy taking walks and absorbing the scenery.
There's plenty more, but have limited time with being on a break!
Get in touch and let's connect. Just please don't be a time wasting, stalking compulsive liar. Had my fair share of those recently!

I had two incidences of my (now ex-) Mormon world and non-Mormon world colliding yesterday. I grew up in New England (in the 1980s), where my sister and I were the only Mormons in our school. One woman I went to high school with posted about reading Tara Westover's book, and there were many comments and questions from other mutual acquaintances about Mormonism, fundamentalist Mormonism, and what life is like in Utah/Idaho (even though I grew up in New England, I did live in Utah for almost ten years as an adult, and my Dad moved to Utah after my Mom passed away). Really wondered if I should chime in on that one. Another woman I went to high school with, who is half African American, and half Canadian native, and is now living in a native community in British Columbia, posted a bunch of old pictures of her with a bunch of young women who were sporting little black name tags (and interestingly they were all from Utah). I don't like it when my worlds collide.

Hello everyone. I am sad to share that my first IVF cycle was canceled yesterday for poor response. I was on day 11 (10 days of since I take them at night) and at my appointment they did not feel like my follicles were sufficiently growing.
Right: 10mm, 9mm, 4mm, and 2 other small ones not measured. The 4mm and smaller ones were not there at all on the day 8 ultrasound. The 2 larger ones only grew about 1mm each between day 8 and 11.
Left: 8mm, 7mm, and 5mm. The 2 smaller ones grew about 2mm each between day 8 and 11.
5 days of BC priming before start. Then microdose Lupron flair: 2 days of Lupron 2x per day at 20 units. Then added 375 gonal f and 75 Menopur. On day 3, the gonal f was increased to 450 and Menopur increased to 150.
Is there any point doing another cycle at this point considering my high doses and lack of response? I have read that MDL is the standard for poor responders, and it didn’t work for me, so I just don’t know if there are any other options. My RE did not seem to want to try again considering my response. My AMH is critically low (0.04) and my AFC is usually 6-8. I had some luck with using just gonal f for my IUI cycles to get 1-2 follicles, but still a high dose at around 275.

Never have I ever used a 3D printer but have been interested for a long while. I have watched plenty of videos and debated on buying a machine and read and watched many stories about bed-slingers and resin machines and lots and lots of hacks and tinkering to get things to work. It left me with the idea that 3D printing would be as consuming as my previous RC airplane hobby... constant tinkering and building and dicking with stuff just to get limited results and occasional catastrophic crashes. I have stayed away from the 3D printing hobby for these reasons. I AM an inveterate tinkerer with reasonable capability but I DON"T have time for a new time-sucking hobby... I have lots on my plate already.
When I recently revisited youtube and reddit to see what the latest 3D printing trend was, I was drawn to Bambu and the promise of "3D-as-simple-as-inkjet" or, at least, 3D a helluva lot simpler than before.
My X1C combo arrived yesterday and holy crap am I happy! the 'plug-and-play' promise is real! At least for the introductory stuff.
I printed the Benchy (it's like a law, right?) and in the included green...and it appears *perfect* to my untrained eye. Then, three Flexi-Rex (simplistic articulated dinosaurs). And this morning started it printing a Poop Shoe. So far... this machine is fantastic and I have had to tinker with NOTHING yet. At work right now and I can watch the real time video of the printing, and that's way cool. I am (at 20 hours in) a super happy X1C owner!

I'm sure there are other machines out there that can start out just as well...

My boyfriend is a 33M diagnosed with bipolar at 24. We have been dating for over a year, and he said he wants to propose soon but I am worried he may not be a reliable parent later during marriage. He takes his meds every day and sees his therapist regularly, but he has been hallucinating since he was a kid, and that scares me because it means his case is quite serious. I appreciate that he was honest about his bipolar from the beginning, so it was up to me to decide whether to stay in the relationship or not. I called my mum for advice, and she said I have to dump him immediately because hallucinations are never a good sign. I called him in tears, saying it's a very hard thing for me to do but I have to leave him. He convinced me to stay, so I did, but I still have doubts. Recently he came close to a breakdown twice, but because he got medicated on time, he recovered quickly. I keep telling him to exercise and eat healthy to help his condition, but he doesn't do it. He exercises only when I remind him, otherwise, his job is sedentary. I have read stories about partners with bipolar, and it seems that a single slip-up can ruin everything, and I don't want that to happen. I have read about physical abuse, so I am worried about the safety of our future children. I also take issue with the fact that he is unwilling to get a job and just wants to sell board games online, which, in my eyes, is unreliable. I think he doesn't deserve a partner that has doubts about marrying him because he is a very family-oriented person and loves kids. I also love him but I also need to think about the future. If I stay, I think I will do him injustice as if I am just trying him on. I just wanted to know if there is someone out there in a similar situtation and can share their experience. How does such severe bipolar change over time, i.e., as one ages? If he keeps taking medications, how likely is it that he will be violent and abusive? Is it safe for me to have kids with him? He assures me that he is just like everyone else but even his therapist couldn't answer my questions.

hello everyone, ive read up about TSW online. im curious how long do you need/have to be on steroids for you to develop TSW? or is there such thing as protopic withdrawal? ive been on and off protopic for my eczema flareups... kinda scared of TSW. pls advice :/

After reading similar topics I thought I would make a new one because the other posters don't have the exact same requirements as I.
I want an e-reader almost only for reading PDFs, including full size A4 textbook PDFs. I am an avid reader, especially of non fiction, and lots of sources are in PDF form. Writing would be nice, but my requirements are very minimal in this regard. I don't want any other apps on the device.
My friend said I was stupid and should just get a tablet - maybe they're right? I'm just worried about the eyestrain, as I know from experience reading PDFs on my computer for hours is guaranteed to give me. Also I don't care about any apps or other functions. However, feel free to give me opinions about tablet vs e ink for pdfs/textbooks.
Also, I'm wondering whether to get a 10.3 or 13.3. Cost isn't that much of an issue, especially as I might be using this for a very long time, but if 10.3 on landscape is almost just as good as full size, I might go for it out of consideration of bang for buck. Portability isn't an issue because either one will have to be carried around in a bag.
Thanks!
