2023.06.06 18:22 Waelder TCF PATCH 3.4.0 - 07th June 2023
 | Read the patchnotes in the game's website: https://thecycle.game/news-and-media/the-cycle-frontier-patch-3-4-0Hello Prospectors! Patch 3.4.0 has been cooking behind the scenes for a little while now, and it's finally ready to be served. Complete with seasonings, a tall drink, and a few changes that might catch your interest, we're following up on some changes from 3.2 and 3.3 while also addressing some issues that have been highlighted by our community. On the menu today will be additional AI changes, a balance pass on some of our early game weapons, the usual stomping of a few pesky bugs and exploits, an adjustment to Tharis storm cycles, and yes, an adjustment to Progenitor Slags. We recently discussed in our Discord Server that we're taking some time to focus on repaying technical debts and relooking into systems to have more flexibility with our code in order to make things more smooth, however a lot of these things are not necessarily "player-facing" so we will use these notes to focus on changes that you will see and experience directly within the game. As always, be sure to let us know what you think of the new changes after you've downloaded the new update, and we will continue to monitor and address them as soon as we can. Onto the notes! https://preview.redd.it/sqf2ca6h9f4b1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=fb9a99a079a724cf8f41da14a55ba7447d63f668 Balancing/WeaponsWeapon Balance, my old friend, it's nice to see you again! As a fun fact from our data, the three weapons that are the most requested to receive a balance pass are the Manticore, AR-55, and C-32 Bolt Action. This is something that we are always investigating and keeping tabs on behind the scenes, but after our feedback from the 3.2 patch, it seemed there were a few weapons that needed a bit more than just a damage value changed, so we've made a few more changes to lightly poke the meta to encourage a nice mix of weapons and keep things feeling fresh with your encounters. The vision that is planted in our brains here is to make sure our early game weapons feel like early game weapons without nerfing them into the ground or making them unusable in engagements with higher-geared players. However, with a TTK this short, sometimes that perfect balance can be hard to find. Having said that, minor changes are the plan for this one, let us know what you think!Manticore (MK1 & MK2):
Matchmaking ChangesWe've heard your feedback that something just doesn't feel quite right, and we've noticed it in our matches as well. In order to address it, we've done some deep dive investigating to answer a few questions: Is matchmaking working as intended? Is "beginner matchmaking" working properly? Now this covers a really wide range of variables and not every player's reported issue can lead to the same outlier in the way our game matchmakes, but we've made some major changes to the way our matchmaking registers and removes players on a server, to prevent server over population, which we believe should fix squad separation issues as well. We intend to continue keeping a close eye on this topic, so please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know if you experience or notice any differences!Anti-Cheat ImprovementsFighting cheating is our number one priority, and we are aware that for some of our players the current state of the game is not ideal. As with every patch, 3.4.0 will contain various backend improvements and tweaks to our anti-cheat formula. In addition, we have added new systems to the game to help detect and prevent the kinds of cheats we have found to be the most common. While we would love to go into detail about exactly what is being changed, any info we give on our methods is unfortunately information that can be used to circumvent those methods. Regardless, we do expect that these changes should have a noticeable effect on the state of the game, and we will be monitoring them closely after they go live and adjusting them as necessary.If you would like to contribute to the games anti-cheat efforts, reports are always one of the most useful resources at our teams disposal. Simply sending a report in-game can go a long way, and you can also make use of our #reports-and-appeals channel in our official Discord server if you would like to give some more detailed information to our anti-cheat team or would like to include a video clip with your report. We hope these changes go a long way towards improving your experience on Fortuna, until next time Prospectors! Changes
Bugfixes
Known Issues & Things We Are Working On™While some of these issues might take a bit longer, we are still investigating and aim to find fixes and address these as soon as we can.

2023.06.06 18:18 Ok_Ocelot_9661 I got soft fired for looking for another job!
I just need to rant anonymously.
So, long story short, I clearly work at a toxic company. It’s a startup and my CEO is a raging narcissist. When he didn’t take Covid seriously I was ready to leave, but couldn’t afford to. Then I got a promotion with a large pay increase - so I took some time to learn the new job duties so I could have it on my resume.
Early this yearly, I started applying for other jobs. Nothing too aggressive, just if a position or company intrigued me, I’d apply. At the same time, I was getting head hunted. All the while, I’m severely under paid doing the work of three people at my current job.
I told one of the executives who knows I’m underpaid and overworked that I’d had some recruiters reach out to me. He’s had the same thing happen, and I can tell he’s unhappy, so we’ve discussed it a bit.
I’m pretty sure he went to my CEO and basically said ‘hey, if we don’t treat her better and pay her better, we might lose her’. I’m not upset he did this, because he had good intentions. He just doesn’t know our CEO well enough to know how he would react. I do.
Well. My CEO decided that meant that since I’m unhappy, he could ‘soft fire’ me.
Essentially, I’ve been given about two months to find a new job. If, at the end of those two months, I have not found a new job, I get two weeks severance. He’s framing this as a mutual exit plan, but really he fired me.
So what was a casual job search has turned into a dire job search because I live paycheck to paycheck. I don’t have enough savings to be able to afford to not have a job. It doesn’t help that the job market is absolutely bonkers right now and a lot of people are trying to find jobs thanks to the recent massive layoffs.
Because I no longer have time to find an ideal position, I’m now also forced to give up certain things on my wish list - like a specific salary point and a remote role.
Meanwhile, he is expecting me to continue giving my job 100% while also knowing I’m having to spend 10+ hours a week applying to jobs and interviewing.
Avoid startups at all cost. In my experience, most of the CEOs are all alike - and this isn’t the first time my CEO has pulled this move with someone.
The only positive is there is a light at the end of the tunnel for me getting out of an extremely toxic work environment.
End rant.

2023.06.06 18:18 JebusRaptor Newbie endurance building
I am new-ish to swimming. Grew up swimming in lakes, but really just learned how to properly swim laps.
41, 5’10”, 235.
I started with a local masters team and I am doing group training three days a week for an hour. (Two months in) Big surprise, I need to work on my kicking and breathing timing….goal is long term health into old age, but maybe some light master’s competition in the meantime.
Workouts are staying in : zone 4 @25%, 3@ 30%, 2@ 25%, 1@ 20%
I am currently balancing with light weighted hiking in zone 1 for an hour on off days with two light strength training days a week.
Question: would it give me a boost to add in some low impact off days — say swimming in zone 1 and 2 for an hour?
Or am I being eager and still in the “shut up and show up to practice” stage?

2023.06.06 18:17 camel_jerky Being pressured to see a dietician
I’ve had issues with reflux — and later, GERD — my entire life. Symptoms have come and gone. The latest flare started at the end of Feb and for a little background, I had covid in Dec followed by whatever the hell else was part of the tri-demic (flu and some other virus from Hell). At the end of all of it I got an ear infection and was on abx (doxycycline). Lots of other stress was in there as well, like some life-changing stuff I won’t get into.
Then BAM. End of Feb, I start vomiting like crazy for 24 hours. I thought maybe a stomach bug but no one else I was close with got it. When I wasn’t better after a week (not vomiting any more, but had no appetite and lots of nausea) and had really bad pain in my chest, I realized it was GERD.
I did an elimination diet successfully and narrowed down a few new food triggers. But then I added half caff and decaf back and it’s been hell since. I had an appt with my PCP yesterday and he wrote me a script for RABEprozale and suggested I start taking a fiber supplement.
Anyway. A close friend has been with me along this journey and knows what I’m dealing with. Today when I told her I’ll be taking the rx, she started in with how I should see a dietician too since this is a long-term issue. I’m open to it, but finances are super tight right now. I explained that I’m following doctor’s advice, but thanks for the concern. Again she goes off on how doctors can only help so much and I should see a dietician.
I really respect my friend but this rubbed me the wrong way. I want to get better, I really do. And I know my body. Taking the rx and fiber plus eliminating inflammatory foods (and working on reducing stress and adding light exercise back in) seems reasonable to me for right now. Am I being short-sighted here?
Have any of you worked with a dietician? What is involved with seeing one, do they do food plans and recipes?

2023.06.06 18:17 timmit65 MSP as a springboard to a career change?
I'm trying to change careers in my 50s. I have always worked with technology, but never in an enterprise. I've never worked in a company larger than 20 people.
When I say I've always worked with technology, I've been in sales and have always sold hardware and software that worked with computers (first via cards, then USB, then network, now Thunderbolt and Network). I have always supported those products and, also, done the IT work for my small companies. That said, the hardware and software I've sold and supported has always been in the creative field Audio and Video editing, broadcast, or production (live production events for up thousands of people. Digital Mixers ecosystems, video walls, loud speakers with network ports, wireless mics that are networkable and for the longest time helped people digitally record audio, first to tape, then to stand alone units snd for 20+ years to computers). For 95 % of the items I work with, if they are networked, they're not on the main network of the venue, or at least on a VLan. Again, I'm in my 50s and have worked in the creative field, I rarely touched a PC until 15 years ago. The Mac was and is king. Pro Tools wasn't available for Windows until early 2000's and wasn't stable until Win 7. Photoshop wasn't available for Windows until 2000?, but was an oddity for years. So, I've never had to use Active Directory.
I now have the A+ and Security+ certs (there are tons of military contractors in my area, so Sec+ is the most common cert asked for). I have an interview with an MSP Wednesday I'm not that sold on the company, but their client is a major hospital in the area. Would 6 months there be enough time to make me more marketable to a better MSP or a defense contractor? I keep getting interviews, but have only been offered 1 job. The pay was too low to consider.
I have been studying for Network+, but I only want to continue if I have to. Much like Sec+, my interest level is pretty low. And, it's pretty stressful studying it for me. But, some of the job adds ask for networking, switches etc. Should I push on through, if this job doesn't work out?
To clarify my expectations, I don't want to do anything in security or networking! I only want desktop and systems admin., and whatever networking is necessary for desktop and systems admin.. I don't think AD will be a problem for me to learn. As long as there's a GUI, I usually take right to things. I have been the Super Admin for Zoho CRM for the last 15 years allowing permissions creating new users, deleting users, etc.. I also have a good amount of experience with VTC, especially Ceiling array microphones and DSPs, but again since I don't have any Cisco hardware experience, I don't get a second look.
Given this info and the subject any recommendations would be appreciated. TIA!

2023.06.06 18:16 starryeyedfish Is this light ice?
 | I’ve been a customer at this store for a long time, and I love everyone there. Recently, I’ve noticed a lot more ice in drinks, so, I started using light ice and it seems like the equivalent of normal, if not a little more than normal. It’s been consistent for a couple weeks now of asking for light ice, but I finish the drink in a few sips. submitted by starryeyedfish to starbucks [link] [comments] |
2023.06.06 18:15 flyingomoplata80 Super73 z1 wont power on
Hi, after a long winter, I tried to turn on my super73 Z1 and it doesn't turn on. The battery is on (if you press the battery button, it lights), but the power button in the handlebar doesn't power on. I checked already all connections, but no luck. So any idea how to troubleshoot it? I would like to buy a cheap display to see if the problem is in the display, before buying an original. That's because the original costs around 150 bucks in Europe.. so any cheap replacement option for the display, so that I can try to pinpoint if the issue is there?
Thanks!

2023.06.06 18:14 t_beermonster My UK "No Reason" knives
Slipjoints
Spyderco UK Penknife Lightweight in CPM S110V. Good general purpose knife, firm half stop and minimal risk of unintended folding. It's possible to open (and close) one-handed, but you are not spidey-flicking this open unless you routinely crush corundum in one hand.
QSP Hedgehog micarta scales and 14C28N blade. This thing has a slicey, razor sharp hollow grind. Very stiff action, this is about as likely to fold by accident as most liner locks. The lack of thumbstud or similar means this is a two handed opener in most real life situations.
Victorinox something or other purchased in the late 1980's or early 1990's. This was my school knife, recently rediscovered sorting through some old belongings after my mum died. I really need to clean it, tweezers seem to have been lost. I don't really use this knife, too many bit's and bobs that I just wont use. Also fingernail nics are of the devil.
Friction folders
Svord Peasant knife. Now I know what you're thinking, "Isn't the cutting edge a bit too long for UK no reason carry?" Yes, or it would be if I hadn't taken a dremel to the heel of the blade and ground off the edge until it measured 3". It's surprisingly comfortable under the finger as well despite not being a full choil. This is my main garden knife so it takes some abuse and has had a few quick and dirty sharpenings with files, dremels and micromesh as well as the guided Lansky. It's a really nice working knife and for the price everyone should have one, or the mini.
Kizer WPK in S35VN. Handy little slicer, but the 2 finger grip relegates it to light duties.
Double detent folders
Civivi Foldis, micarta scales, nitro V. The flipper action is great, but the detents arent firm enough. It's very easy to accidentally fold this on yourself, or have it come open in a pocket.
CRKT Symmetry This is how to do the detents - civivi take note. Just firm enough to require intent to open or close, but still one finger to close. "Only" 8Cr13MoV steel but perfectly fine for a lightweight dressy knife. This is just a lovely, discreet knife to carry around and use.
Two Sun TS362, another great flipper but with a detent even firmer than the Symmetry. You can close it with one finger, but you need to press at the top of the blade with considerable force. The lack of clip makes it hard to carry around safely, despite being undeniably stylish.
Artisan Cutlery Archeo - this was some sort of limited edition Archeo with a 3" cutting edge because I remember being annoyed that to get a UK edc legal version of the archeo I had to order one of the US sites exclusives. I don't remember which site though, maybe knife centre? Anyway, it's bloody gorgeous and feels so good in the hand despite being a 3.5 finger grip. I just remove the little metal peg from the lanyard before taking her out for a walk, so the blade can't be locked.
Twisted Assisted Tulip (made by Bestech) This is just a really fun, tiny, flipper. Mine is lightly modded with some tritium inserts in the back spacer, which looks cool in the dark but isn't really of practical value. It flips easily, the detent is just right, it's enough blade for most indoor tasks, it makes me smile. What more can you ask for from a 2.5" package.
The Ones I Forgot, and added onto the end later.
Higonokami with brass handle and damascus kukri shaped blade. I have no idea how genuine this is but it's sharp, pretty and good enough for occasional use. It's very thin and won't ruin the lines of any smart clothes, it's uncomfortable to hold though. The edges of the brass grip bite into your hand.
Spyderco Bug. This lives on my keyring and sees only the lightest of use when I have nothing else. It has pretty low quality steel (3Cr13) but how good does it have to be to cut a bit of string or plastic baling strap? The 3cm blade is sharp enough for it's rare deployments.
CRKT Provoke EDC, as it comes this is not UK EDC legal. However the lock is simplicity itself to remove, you should tighten up the joints though. If the joints are loose you'll have a totally illegal gravity knife. As long as you need to push the arms to deploy the blade you should be fine (IANAL this is not legal advice). It's a nice enough blade but that finger hole is not comfortable for a little finger. I dont think CRKT put enough thought into converting from karambit to EDC, everything is obviously designed for the blade to come out of the bottom of your grip. It's cool, but it lives in a drawer.

2023.06.06 18:14 Lord_Guyis Season 2 Episode 22 Anime and Manga Differences
Alright, here are the differences and comparisons between the anime and manga for season 2 episode 22. Standard disclaimers: 1. this is pretty much spoiler-free, I will only talk about the portion of content from the manga that was covered in the episode. 2. a difference one way or the other is not inherently a good or bad thing. I'll probably dislike the anime's changes, but those are my judgements, you have yours. 3. I am comparing the official english versions of the material that I have easily available to me, as such I'm comparing 2 different translations, I'm aware the two JP versions almost certainly have identical wording in most parts (and that Netflix is just using the manga lines, for the most part). With that said, let us begin.
This episode covers all of chapter 96 (including the cover page), all of 97 (though the order of it is mixed around), and the cover page for 98. Totaling 58 pages.

This episode covers all of chapter 96 (including the cover page), all of 97 (though the order of it is mixed around), and the cover page for 98. Totaling 58 pages.
- Anime cut a quick reaction from Drott when the men yell at him to just finish Thorfinn off: "Shut up! Quit talking!"
- Cut bit from Drott thinking about how Thorfinn feels weird to hit: "...must be because he's so light..."
- Anime: "He's twisting his neck and hips just before Drott's fists hit him, thereby dispersing the impact away from the core of his body." Manga: "Just before the fist lands, he twists his neck or back to deflect the damage toward his center." So anime says its going away from his center, manga says its toward his center. Surely just a translation thing.
- Anime cut out a bit of a match cut when Einar remembers Thorfinn talking about finding the first resort. Going from Thorfinn's bleeding face back to his healthy face back in that scene when Thorfinn actually said that. Second one of these that the anime has cut (first was back at Canute talking with Harald/Sweyn's head)
- Tiny thing, in the anime Snake gets off his horse on the left side, where in the manga he gets off on the right side.
- Anime cut out a shot of Thorfinn noticing and looking over at Snake when he arrives, and Thorfinn then tripping which leads to him getting hit solidly by Drott. Second time the anime has cut out Thorfinn tripping in a fight (this was also cut/changed in the Snake fight).
- Anime: "You idiot. You're unbelievably softhearted. If talking could've resolved this, we'd have done that already." Manga: "You fucking idiot... You never even asked us... If we could settle this with dialogue, I'd have done it ages ago. I almost can't believe what a soft-hearted fool you are..."
- Anime: "Are you sure about that?" Manga: "Would you really?"
- Anime added a couple shots of the crowd reacting to Thorfinn yelling at Drott.
- Anime added a shot of Einar gripping Snake's arm tighter and a shot of Snake reacting to that.
- Another tiny thing, in the anime we hear Thorfinn getting hit 3 times over scenery/crowd shots before we fully cut back in and Drott hits him the 98th time. In the manga, there are the sounds of 6 hits over these shots.
- In the anime, Olmar is standing between Snake and Einar when we see him after the 98th hit. In the manga he's elsewhere in the crowd
- The quick shot going over the crowd after the 100th hit is fully mirrored from the manga, even flipping details like a man's forehead scar.
- Anime added Olmar into the shot following that^ one that goes over Einar and Snake because as stated earlier, he's now in between them in the anime where he wasn't in the manga.
- Anime cut out a shot showing Thorfinn wobble on his feet a little after the 100th hit.
- Anime: "I can't hit someone when I'm trying to negotiate for peace." Manga: "Who negotiates for peace by beating a man?" LOVE the manga translation here, always loved this line so I'm not huge on the anime version, though I know it's saying the same thing. Just a bit less impact, for me.
- Not a difference between the anime and manga, but note that the anime actually says hnefatafl now. Season 1 had Askeladd say shogi (both out loud and in the subtitles) where the manga said hnefatafl (even the JP version of the manga has furigana saying to pronounce "shogi" as "hnefatafl" in both scenes). First they actually start saying "Thing" this season and now we got "hnefatafl". Good job, season 2.
- Anime added the visual of the original Thors-Thorfinn "you have no enemies" scene. Manga just trusts that we'll remember one of the most important scenes in the series and I appreciate that. Hell, we got it retold to us just earlier this season, didn't need the reminder.
- Anime: "I don't have any enemies." Manga: "I have no enemies." I've also seen that netflix's version says "Nobody is my enemy." And yeah, I prefer the manga version.
- Anime added a quick shot of Olmar reacting to that^ line.
- Anime cut a small panel of Snake and Olmar reacting to the warriors making way for Thorfinn, Snake going "Whoa..."
- Anime: "We're going to see the man who starts wars. Don't you have things you want to say to him, too?" Manga: "We're going to meet the man who started this war. You've got some things to say to him, I expect."
- Anime: "You bet I do. A whole mountain of them." Manga: "I'll give him a piece of my mind! Several pieces!!" I have always felt this line in the manga was a little silly.
- In the manga, when Thorfinn and Einar walk towards the meeting with Canute, Thorfinn is holding his shoulder. The anime just has him walking with both arms at this sides.
- From here we've entered chapter 97. As I stated up above, the anime has shifted around a lot of the lines in the conversation. It would take too long for me to try and detail every little shift the anime has done here so for simplicity's sake, I'm just noting that all here in this one point and I'll be going in the order of the anime here from here on.
- Anime: "Pater..." "Don't look. If you find Pater among the dead, you won't be able to remain calm." Manga: "What if...amid those bodies...lies Pater...?" "Don't look. If we find Pater there now...we will hate Canute."
- Anime added the flashes of Thorfinn's POV from cutting Canute and seeing Askeladd's body back at the end of the Prologue.
- Cut exchange between Canute and Wulf as Thorfinn and Einar approach: "He does not seem to be armed." "No, but he is no ordinary man. Be careful of him."
- In the shot showing the two's eyes, in the manga the focus of the Canute shot is the scar on his cheek, which is not shown at all in the anime shot. I guess those flashes of Thorfinn cutting him were supposed to cover for that?
- Anime-original line for Canute: "No...for what happened to Askeladd."
- Anime: "I'm sorry about the scar on your face." Manga: "...Please forgive me...for your scar. I was possessed at the time."
- Cut line from Einar after hearing Thorfinn attacked the king: "...Ha Ha! You're one hell of a man, my brother!"
- Anime: "You've come to say some commendable things." Manga: "And you've become much more eloquent since we last met."
- Anime added the flash of Askeladd killing Sweyn. YES anime, I REMEMBER
- Cut line from Thorfinn after Canute notes that four years is enough time to change a man: "You've changed, too. You have the face of a man in power."
- Cut line from Canute that was in response to that^ line: "Hah... You sound just like Askeladd." So the anime and manga have there own different mentions of Askeladd.
- In the manga, when Canute explains how Ketil's family "started this", the visuals are a collage of panels from when that happened. The anime just has imposing shots of Canute.
- Anime: "Ketil's son Olmar killed ten of my men because I wouldn't make him one of my thegns." Manga: "Olmar, son of Ketil, displayed his incompetence, and then was angered when I did not make him my thegn...in the end, he slew ten of my men."
- Cut lines from Einar to Canute: "Olmar is a coward. He could not possibly kill a man. You set this all up, didn't you?"
- Cut lines from the vikings in the crowd and Wulf: "...Do you hear the shit he's spouting...?" "Stop. His majesty does not deny it."
- Cut line from Einar to Canute: "I bet you've never held a hoe in your life."
- Anime added the visual of the tilled field while Einar's talking, which is the same visual Einar sees back in episode 1 when Ketil asks if he'd like to come work on his farm.
- One more cut line from Einar to Canute: "Well? What do you have to say for yourself? Boss of the vikings!"
- In the manga, when Thorfinn mentions what Canute said back in Gainsborough he fully quotes Canute's lines, whereas in the anime Thorfinn more just summarizes what Canute said.
- Anime: "Do you still believe that?" Manga: "Do you still think that way? Do you still want to build a paradise?"
- Anime: "The commander who leads a thousand ships and ten thousand men." Manga: "I command a thousand ships, a million men."
- Anime cut some quick reaction shots of Thorfinn and Einar as well as the vikings and Wulf right after Canute commands the waves to stop.
- Anime cut a tiny bit from Canute's lines talking about his power: "Yes, it is meager."
- More cut lines from Canute: "Because beings who have forsaken love...are ordained to suffer."
- Anime: "But that is what humans are. Commiting sins as we wander lost is precisely what humans do." Manga: "Yet this is what makes us human. To sin and lose one's way-that is the human condition."
- Difference of visuals on these^ lines, in the anime it's an old viking tapestry, whereas in the manga it's a panel of men fighting that is drawn in pencil making the visuals strikingly different from the pen and ink drawings around it.
- Cut bits from Canute's lines: "I am the emperor of the vikings. And I defy the rules of God."
- Anime: "I'm gonna knock this guy on his ass." Manga: "I ought to knock you off your feet!"
- Anime: "Building a paradise, my ass!" Manga: "The idea that this will create a paradise is laughable!!"
- Anime added a quick shot of Thorfinn looking at Einar after he yells at Canute.
- Anime added a shot of Einar growling some more after Thorfinn stops him.
2023.06.06 18:14 pizzansteve We Are Humanity II
Date: April 6, 2408 POV: Representative Suler of the Fal'rith Conglomerate Location: Aboard TIES-Endurance, Andromeda Galaxy
This, "Lieutenant", closed an opening on the trapezoid object. He waited a few moments for some reason. He suddenly groaned and kicked the trapezoid, the blue light on it turning to green.
In a bright green flash, the aliens vanished one by one. Wilhelm was the last to go, once he was gone, Khodrin blinked out of existance followed by Lilia and Nihje, then the others, then me.
I felt myself slam hard on a cold metal floor. When I rised to look, I saw the other ambassadors groaning and getting up from the floor. Wilhelm and his ontourage seemed unfazed by it and I saw that we were in some room aboard a ship.
I recieved a notification from my translating implant about how it can now translate "English" to Graddath Standard.
Wilhelm then took of his helmet revealing an elderly mammalian with 2 green eyes, a nose, white and grey hair, ears and a mouth. He then spoke with some heavy accent.
"Man, it is hot. Your worlds' climate is on the edge of what we humans can handle, made all the more worse by my power pack having cooling issues."
"I think I'm right to assume that we are on the Endurance yes?" I said, ignoring his comment about our worlds. Some of us were shivering because of the cold climate control of the vessel.
"Yes, you are correct." He replied "Follow me, we are going to the bridge of the Endurance."
"What for?" Ra asked, rubbing his temple.
"A formal meeting in an ideal environment."
He started walking after he said that. Some of us tripped over themselves in a rush to follow Wilhelm and his escorts.
Humans, they call themselves. I thought to myself, And I'm guessing this 'Terra' and the symbol on their chests is their homeworld.
We followed him through high ceiling halls with many doorways leading to all kinds of different rooms. We sometimes encounter crew who look at us mesmerized by our appearances and the sights of aliens who don't attack them in cold blood. We pass by a great hall with many vehicles parked close to each other. Some of these were "tracked vehicles" that were heavily armored and heavily armed. Their cannons looking like a downsized variant of what we saw from the windows of the station.
We then arrive to the bridge where we saw many humans doing their tasks like what a normal council ship would have. All of them wore suits of different colors and there was only one armored human on the doorway. We then approach to what seems to be the captain of this vessel.
"Rear-Admiral Johnathan Beckett, they have arrived."
He turned to look at us and I got a good look at him. He had hazel eyes, no armor except for a grey coat with blue acents and seemingly young. His brass well polished and glowing, he had what appears to be a sidearm at his waist and his boots shone brighter than his brass.
"Welcome aboard xenos." Beckett said, with a hint of nervousness in his voice "I see that this is all of you plus one, right Wilhelm?"
"Yes Rear-Admiral," Wilhelm replied "one of them have no limbs because they seem to be descendants of mollusks so a Rakatoth has to carry her."
"Interesting." Beckett then turned to look out of the window that faces the station.
"I'm sure none of you got hurt during teleportation, yes?"
"Well," Halushe of the Verunian Imperium said, "all but me got hurt, I gracefully floated downwards when all of them slammed on the metal floor." [Description of the Verun: Basically a Terran jellyfish except it floats in the air, 2.10 ft average, 5~ kg average, 4 tentacles, opaque with colors that reflect on personality and emotion, no visible sensory organs, telepathic race]
Beckett turned to look at us once more, "Lieutenant David Montgomery, you bastard." he muttered to himself.
"Apologies for what many of you had to go through," he said with concern in his voice, "hopefully no serious injuries yes?"
"We're fine Rear-Admiral," Nihje said from behind me, catching me by surprise "just a few bruises, that's all."
He sighed, "Good, just making sure." He resumed taking in the sight beyond.
The scenery outside was beautiful, a distant colony world of all the races was outside. The planet named 'Zareth Prime' was home to 1 trillion. Its deep cities serving as more space for its inhabitants. 2 moons orbit the planet making the oceans shine under theire light. The sation we used to be on was something to be desired. Its exterior a far cry to Zareth, its interior was of top quality though, with decorations from all of the council species.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Halushe said, slowly floating towards the window.
"Reminds us vividly of our homeworld." Macaraig said seemingly sucked in with the view.
"Earth, we once called it." Beckett said without taking his eyes off Zareth Prime "Terra is what we refer to it now."
"My translator picked it up as 'Dirt'." Ra said with a light chuckle.
"Exactly the reason why we made the change." Beckett said looking back to us now.
"Right, I carry orders from Terra itself. We are to return to Ra-998b and dock in Sol's Might for negotiations and arrangements for a cultural exchange program." He said with both his hazel eyes unblinking. "Questions?"
"Are we going to be instantly moved again?" Kohdrin said with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"Sol's Might is way out of the range of any of our teleporters," he spoke quickly "we are doing an FTL jump to Ra-998b. Will take a few hours and a good 10 minutes to charge up the engines, so send out orders now to your people as to not incite panic at out sudden appearance."
Some of us had already done that as we walked pass the Kolshif guards to the weird object, me included. Ra frantically pulled out his pad and sent orders, seemingly forgetting his position, Nihje seemingly taking a peak as to what he was writing. Lilia had the Rakatoth write it out for her due to her race's unfortunate circumstances.
"Admiral, the engines are ready!" a wet human said to Beckett, wiping what seems to be water off his skin, all the while doing a short salute.
"You didn't have to run the whole distance like that," The Rear-Admiral replied in a hushed tone "Right are you all ready?"
The busy ones quickly put down their pads, done with what they are doing.
"Alright, Navigator Tai-Che kick it!"
The Navigator nodded and pulled a lever. I saw the stars bend around us and I felt myself lurch for

Is there a source to determine an approximate cost to install a lighted ceiling fan with fan/dimmer control? Attic is open and fully accessible. Fan box needed too. This would be for 3 fans in 3 different rooms. Also would rewire receptacles from constant power to switch control. Thanks

2023.06.06 18:13 SmartFox8466 Final Shape Theory
So i have a theory for Final Shape. In the trailer we see Ikora and Cayde inside of what appears to be the portal the Witness opened, and everyone has been wondering just where that is, and i believe i found the answer. The last few expansions and seasons have been focused on the connection that light and dark have, how they’re not evil or good, they’re just based in different ideas, the light being creation, and the dark being emotion and idealization. In Witch Queen we learned that Savathûn made the wish to Riven to curse the Dreaming City in an attempt to feed her worm through deception, and also to gain access to the Distributary (the Awoken homeworld). We know that the Awoken are a result of the collision of light and dark during the collapse, and that they were stuck in the Distributary for a long long time. Well, in lightfall we’re introduced to a new power, one of darkness, The Veil, and it seems to be the source of strand, a darkness subclass, therefore The Veil would be considered a darkness object/ artifact. The Witness used The Veil to open the portal in front of the traveler, thus creating a connection between dark and light. Ergo, i believe that the portal opened by The Witness leads to the Distributary, and that is where The Final Shape will be taking place. I know this is very long, but if you read all the way through, please leave comments and ideas, i’d love to build on this.

2023.06.06 18:10 Pickupapencil [M4F] Send a message, and I'll send you a starter!
It's that simple! Really.
As fun as story planning can be when it comes to crafting a narrative, I've run into a situation that could be diagnosed as pre-writing paralysis in recent writing endeavors. Working out all the little details feels like a reassuring safety net compared to the leap-of-faith of simply starting a story and running with it, but I'm itching to write a bold, wonderful new story with some of you, and I'd love to take that storytelling jump together; no right-off-the-bat "what should happen" wool-gathering, no time spent on character-sheet introductions, just a story and a scenario and a hook and, hopefully, a pair of characters who share a spark of chemistry.
I'm a 24-year-old writer, and asking for anyone who'd like to write with me to also be at least 20 years old! What I'm offering is this: If you send me a message about how excited you are to write, how much detail you devote to your posts, and what makes your characters sing, I'll send you a bespoke starter to kick off a collaborative story. (No two writers will get the same one! Original ideas all the way down.) If we decide Discord would be a better medium, that's totally cool. But I just ask that you respond to that starter without too many questions that would give away future character motivations or plot points. I want to see us both thinking on our feet! To me, that's the heart of role-playing.
For those of us who have inclinations for certain genres, I will promise just a few things:
The starter will be in third-person, past perspective.
It'll set up a light-hearted, romantic-leaning modern day slice-of-life story.
It'll put the "cute" in "meet-cute."
It'll, hopefully, impress you enough to want to keep writing.
That's it! I've rambled too long already, but I'm excited to put myself out there and create some incredible new stories with some of you!

For those of us who have inclinations for certain genres, I will promise just a few things:
The starter will be in third-person, past perspective.
It'll set up a light-hearted, romantic-leaning modern day slice-of-life story.
It'll put the "cute" in "meet-cute."
It'll, hopefully, impress you enough to want to keep writing.
That's it! I've rambled too long already, but I'm excited to put myself out there and create some incredible new stories with some of you!
2023.06.06 18:09 Pickupapencil [M4F] Send a message, and I'll send you a starter!
It's that simple! Really.
As fun as story planning can be when it comes to crafting a narrative, I've run into a situation that could be diagnosed as pre-writing paralysis in recent writing endeavors. Working out all the little details feels like a reassuring safety net compared to the leap-of-faith of simply starting a story and running with it, but I'm itching to write a bold, wonderful new story with some of you, and I'd love to take that storytelling jump together; no right-off-the-bat "what should happen" wool-gathering, no time spent on character-sheet introductions, just a story and a scenario and a hook and, hopefully, a pair of characters who share a spark of chemistry.
I'm a 24-year-old writer, and asking for anyone who'd like to write with me to also be at least 20 years old! What I'm offering is this: If you send me a message about how excited you are to write, how much detail you devote to your posts, and what makes your characters sing, I'll send you a bespoke starter to kick off a collaborative story. (No two writers will get the same one! Original ideas all the way down.) If we decide Discord would be a better medium, that's totally cool. But I just ask that you respond to that starter without too many questions that would give away future character motivations or plot points. I want to see us both thinking on our feet!

2023.06.06 18:09 Negative-School Sloped Duct Woes
MEP Intern & total Revit Noob. I have a long hallway that slopes down about half an inch per foot of length. There is HVAC supply duct above the ceiling, with the same slope. I want to route from the supply duct to some diffusers mounted on the ceiling (again, at slightly varying heights), but everything I've tried has failed to complete the system.
Any attempt to route from the duct to a diffuser, or vice versa, results in "No auto-route solution was found."
Flex ducts? Nope, for some reason the flex ducts want to mount to the bottom of the duct, when I'd rather they terminate at the vertical face of the duct.
Apologies for a kind of vague description of the problem. Any advice?

2023.06.06 18:07 Guyrannosaurus The Dragon Knight (AI generated build)
I just discovered something wonderful, you can use AI to build the basis of your builds based off an idea. I have made a few so far, but I was so excited about this that I made a reddit account after lurking for years in order to share with y'all my favorite / the one I intend to play in my next game. I have also included the prompts I used. Let me know what you think!
Prompt: "Using elements from fallout 4 and full creative liberty, write a detailed pre-war and post-war character backstory as well as armor and weapon ideas based on the following prompt: Upon escaping vault 111 and finding the world destroyed, he loses his mind and thinks he is a fantasy hero called "The Dragon Knight" who has to avenge his wife and save his son from an evil order of mages."
Nate was always a nerdy kid who loved comics, especially Grognak the Barbarian. He even created his own tabletop RPG character based on the comic, a brutal warrior named the Dragon Knight, who wielded a sword and a shield and wore a dragon-shaped helmet.
Nate grew up in a turbulent time, as the United States was engaged in a long and brutal war with China over natural resources. He felt a sense of duty and patriotism, and he decided to join the military when he was 18. He enlisted in the 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army, and he proved to be an excellent soldier. He was trained in using power armor, which gave him an edge on the battlefield. He fought bravely in several battles against the Chinese forces, earning medals and commendations for his valor.
His unit nicknamed him "The Dragon Knight" after his tabletop RPG character, because of how effective he was in power armor and because Nate often joked that he was fighting dragons instead of communists, and that he was looking for his princess in the wasteland. At times he could be brutal, being the soldier his country needed him to be. His bravery and conviction lead him to be merciless yet effective in the heat of battle. He had a dark side buried under his joyful and nerdy exterior, one that only his enemies ever saw.
After the war Nate met Nora, a young lawyer from Boston, at a comic book convention. They instantly hit it off, sharing their love for comics and RPGs. They got married soon after, and moved to Sanctuary Hills, a peaceful suburb near Concord. They had a son, Shaun, who was born in 2077. Nate was overjoyed to be a father, and he hoped to pass on his love for comics and RPGs to his son. Nora even surprised him by programming their personal Mister Handy, Codsworth, to call him "Mr. Dragon Knight" as a prank.
On October 23rd, 2077, Nate was preparing for an event at the Veteran's Hall in Concord, where he was supposed to give a speech about his war experiences. He was nervous but excited, and he hoped to inspire others with his story. However, his plans were cut short when a Vault-Tec representative visited his family to inform them that they had pre-approved admittance into Vault 111, a nearby underground shelter. Moments later, a news bulletin warned them of an imminent nuclear attack, which forced Nate, Nora and Shaun to rush to the vault, leaving Codsworth behind.
After entering the vault, they were placed in cryo-sleep by the Vault-Tec scientists, under the guise of decontamination. Nate had no idea that he would be frozen for over two centuries.
In 2227, he was disturbed from his cryogenic sleep by Conrad Kellogg and two unknown Institute scientists, whose intention was to acquire Shaun; as his DNA was the 'purest' source available to the Institute for their experiments. Nate watched helplessly as Kellogg shot Nora dead and took Shaun away. He tried to break free from his pod, but he was too weak and fell unconscious.
He woke up again in 2287, when his pod malfunctioned due to a power outage. He found himself alone in the vault, surrounded by dead bodies. He managed to escape from the vault and returned to Sanctuary Hills, where he found Codsworth still functioning.
Codsworth greeted him with joy and called him "Mr. Dragon Knight" as usual. However, this triggered something in Nate's mind. The trauma of losing his wife and son, combined with the shock of seeing the post-apocalyptic world, had shattered his sanity. He could not cope with reality anymore.
He started to believe that he was actually The Dragon Knight, his tabletop RPG character. He thought that he had been transported to a new unknown land. He thought that Nora was his Queen who had been assassinated, and that Shaun was his heir who had been taken away. Both crimes committed by a secret dark order of mages and their army of undead abominations. He thought that Codsworth was his loyal pet dragon, and that his power armor was his dragon armor.
He decided to embark on a quest to find and rescue his family. He would stop at nothing, and once again became the warrior he needed to be, becoming equally as savage and brutal as the new realm he found himself in. He also hoped to find other heroes who would join him in his quest. Such as Grognak the Barbarian, who gives Nate his trusty axe as a sign of their brotherhood.
"Thank you, now create a standard build for that character using starting perk point allocation, and important perks. I would like it to be vats centered due to using Grognaks axe. Make it viable for survival mode."
Starting SPECIAL:
Strength: 9 Perception: 1 Endurance: 3 Charisma: 1 Intelligence: 6 Agility: 3 Luck: 5
Important Perks:
Strength: Big Leagues, Blacksmith, Rooted Perception: None Endurance: Toughness, Lifegiver Charisma: None Intelligence: Science!, Nuclear Physicist, Armorer Agility: Action Boy/Girl Luck: Bloody Mess, Idiot Savant, Better Criticals, Critical Banker
Build Explanation:
Strength is still the most important stat for this build, as it increases melee damage and allows access to perks like Big Leagues, Blacksmith, and Rooted.
Perception is still not important for this build, as you will be relying on V.A.T.S. to hit your targets and not aiming manually. Endurance is still moderately important, as it gives you more health and allows access to perks like Toughness and Lifegiver.
Charisma is still not important for this build, as you will not be using it for dialogue or settlement building. Instead, you will use Idiot Savant to gain more experience despite your low Charisma. Agility is less important for this build, as you will have less Action Points due to your high Strength and Intelligence. However, you still want to have some Agility to access perks like Action Boy/Girl, which increases your Action Point regeneration.
Luck is also less important for this build, as you will have less critical hit chance due to your low Luck. However, you still want to have some Luck to access perks like Bloody Mess, which gives you more damage and a chance to make enemies explode, Better Criticals, which makes your critical hits do more damage, and Critical Banker, which lets you store up to four critical hits for later use.
Intelligence is significant for this build, as it gives you access to perks that enhance your power armor performance. Science! lets you modify your power armor with better effects such as jetpacks and stealth fields. Nuclear Physicist makes your fusion cores last longer and lets you eject them as powerful explosives. Armorer lets you improve your power armor’s defense and resistance.
This build is viable for survival mode, as it can deal massive damage with melee weapons and survive a lot of punishment with power armor. However, it may struggle with enemies that attack from a distance or have high armor. You may want to carry a backup ranged weapon for emergencies.

2023.06.06 18:05 Redelax X570 MPG GAMING PRO CARBON Wi-Fi stuck on VGA debug led for more than 1 minute before booting
Hello,
I just bought a used XFX RX 6600XT to put in my old PC to install mac OS on it but now I have an issue on boot.
First time I booted it was really long to post to the point I was thinking I did something wrong in the build but then bios showed up so I installed Windows 11 just to be sure everything was working correctly before installing mac OS and didn't bother too much about the boot time
But now that I have to troubleshoot my OpenCore USB key, the more than 1 minute boot time at each restart is REALLY frustrating. So I tried to fix it but without success unfortunately. Here is what I did so far:
Also the GPU is working perfectly fine on Windows so I don't think it's the issue.
Do some of you have an idea of what could cause this?

But now that I have to troubleshoot my OpenCore USB key, the more than 1 minute boot time at each restart is REALLY frustrating. So I tried to fix it but without success unfortunately. Here is what I did so far:
- Keep only one stick of ram, only mouse, keyboard and display connected
- Tried HDMI and Display Port on the GPU
- Clear CMOS
- Then I discovered there were debug leds on this board and that the VGA led was red for a solid minute before booting, so I reseated the GPU and replaced the 8 pin cable from the PSU with another one
- Updated the bios from a 1 year old one to the latest one. It did do something. The only difference it made is that before, the screen was black for a minute, then the splash screen showed up very breefly and the PC booted normally. Now, the splash screen show up instantly, but the PC is stuck on it for a minute and then boot into Windows.
Also the GPU is working perfectly fine on Windows so I don't think it's the issue.
Do some of you have an idea of what could cause this?

Poem:
Sweet and sunny childhood
With its careless, thoughtless air
Like a tangled wildwood
Needs the training hand of care
See it springing all around us
Glad to know, and quick to learn
Asking questions that confound us
Teaching lessons in its turn
Give it play, and never fear it
Curiosity is no defect
Never ever break its spirit
Curb it only to direct
Would you dam the flowing river
Thinking it would cease to flow?
Onward should it run forever
Better teach it where to go
Childhood is a fountain welling
Trace its channel in the sand
And its currents, spreading, swelling
Will revive the withered land
When childhood finally walks away,
Make sure to have some momentos
For when they ask, then you can convey
