2023.03.24 14:46 Calm-Television-3341 I’m so broken
Ended things with my gf wBPD nearly two weeks ago. The more distance I get from the relationship the more I realise how badly I’ve been mentally damaged in it. I’m just crying for no reason all the time, having massive bits of my day where I’m distracted or disassociate, feel so fucking low.
Part of me is so fucking angry that they made me feel like that, made me feel like fucking nothing. Another is angry at myself for letting it happen.
I feel like a shell of who I once was at 21,22,23. I don’t really know myself anymore…. You said you loved me, how could you do this to me when all I was doing was trying to help?

2023.03.24 14:46 PresidentInTraining ATTN: Mr. Beast (Jimmy Donaldson): Partnership Proposal
TLDR: I am running for POTUS in 2024 by launching an app as both my campaign platform and my solution to winning an election outside the two parties system. And I mean entirely. I would like your help coordinating the massive social media initiative my plan is going to require, and in return I will let your team turn the entire process into creative content. My App is a massive social relief initiative completely funded by the revenue generated from building community solar field projects. Essentially a savings account in the American people's name funded primarily through green energy revenue. Kickstarter campaign goes live 27-MAR-2023.
Greetings Mr. Donaldson,
I'll begin by stating that everything I am about to reveal here is very real. I am a tradesman not a politician so please keep that in mind.
Let me tell you a bit about myself for context.
My name is Benjamin J. Lee. I am a retired Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. OIF/OEF Veteran. I am a carpenter and recently began training as an Electrician's Apprentice. I had the time to view you and Lex Fridman's conversation and I must say. I do not understand how people get you so wrong. Normal people see a cash pinata, but I see your genius for what it is. You are just doing what you love and trying to do your part to save the world at the same time. That's exactly why I believe you and I should work together. You inspired me to do the same thing after your podcast appearance. I sat down and I figured out a 10 year plan on how to put America back on the right track. And after hearing what I am trying to do, I do believe that it will peak your team's interest enough to at least see if I am full of shit or not.
And the best part of my campaign initiatives are, I can prove they work. And I can do it long before I ever step foot into office.
The first integral piece to my software is called the Social Media Safety Net. This is essentially a trust I am setting up into the American people's name that will be funded by a few of the following initiatives.
First the "Solar Safety Net". I am going to be coordinating the creation of new tradesman cooperatives in local communities to build commercial scale solar fields. This will achieve the following things.
-It will provide my social programs with guaranteed, scalable, and renewable green revenue.
-Give communities access to publicly owned land so they can build and negotiate energy contracts with the advantage of commercial scale building costs. (Typically Residential solar is over $4 per watt to build an array. Commercial on the other hand is around .89 cents.)
-That means I can also bring the commercial advantages of solar to the residential market, and do it almost essentially free to the citizens. And they won't have to damage their homes with rooftop solar.
-Investing into small businesses that are established to maintain these fields, and then negotiate contracts to maintain other solar arrays as well. They will also help the communities negotiate their energy agreements with local power distributors. This will vary state to state depending on their green energy packages.
(I can give a better breakdown of the numbers later, however it is a solid investment strategy.)
Another example of one of my fundraising initiative's is called "Merch to Miracles." I am going to conduct nationwide merch campaigns partnered with as many current streamers and content creators that I can get on board. I will coordinate everything on the Merch creation side and partnered creators will just create their own sub campaigns. The partners retain 50% of the revenue generated, and then 50% rolls back into the app.
Now how does this app give back to the American people?
Actually in so many ways it's almost hard to explain but I will attempt to do so in a single letter.
The first part of the app is the virtual oval office. The software is going to have video and stream hosting integration because I believe it's bullshit that the President feels so disconnected from our society when he could literally be on a stream every week interacting with his constituents. But then again I am 35 and our current president is like 300 something so who knows if I am wrong about that. It's going to use a new form of voting prototype that will allow me to hold and advertise votes between myself and my voter base. They will get to weigh in on the spending of project funds, current events, and community activities that I will be planning. And everything will be completely free for the end user. If they are registered as an Undecided voter on the app I will also be able to see their demographics and a little about them.
How am I supposed to properly represent my constituents if I never take the time to get to know them?
There will be a Rate my Representative function and profiles for every seat of our government. I am coining it my "Digital Checks and Balance System".
But the greatest parts of the entire project are my social relief packages. User's App profiles will have links and integration with many current social media platforms. But they also will contain the ability to rack up Hero Points. These Hero points can be earned through a wide array of activities.
-Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Hero missions that focus on getting people involved in their communities, creating art, hosting parties ect. (User's will have profile unique QR codes that are used to reward points in person through event coordinators.)
-Contest submissions for Long form writing, poetry, art, and inventions coordinated on dedicated Reddit and Discord communities and threads. (Upvote system is already perfect for my eventual vision here)
-Participating in and finishing education
-Community service
-Civil Service
-And much much more to be announced
There will then be functionality for users to mark a particular hardship on their profile and then use their earned hero points to roll on social relief crates. These crates will come in various sizes and for various hardships but here are just a few examples.
-UbeLift Vouchers for people needing to attend work or school
-Student Loan Forgiveness
-My Career Retraining Support Initiative
-Funds to host community events
-Scholarships and more
And the best part is that because solar revenue is stable, the funding for supported programs will be too. The points never go bad and are tradeable so communities can pool their points for projects, much like I am trying to pool everyone's voices into one powerful roar to wake our politicians up.
I am going to get this mission accomplished with or without your assistance. I do believe however it would be much more effective and much more enjoyable for myself if you did me the honor of helping me save our country, and then maybe, the world.
If you'd like to learn a little more about me, or see the Kickstarter promo videos visit www.ThePresidentialApprentice.com, or have one of your team members contact me here.
Also I apologize if any of my media content looks like a 5th grader produced it. I am doing this entire thing by myself and I was in trade school until about 3 weeks ago, so I had to take the crash course on video production, political campaigning, solar technology, economics, marketing, streaming, app development, and a bunch of other shit.
I am so excited about the things you and I are going to do together in the next few years.
Hope to hear from you soon Jim.
*Edit* Sorry, could you also ask Lex if he'd be able to give me his input on creating a learning AI that I could use with Youtube and its search algorithms to assist our job placement strategy. We need to start harvesting passion as a resource. People are simply more productive pursuing a passion instead of a paycheck. That's unrelated but thank you anyways.

2023.03.24 14:46 Xerus01 Air France: vol annulé, vols proposés ne me conviennent pas
Salut tout le monde,
J'ai un vol réservé pour avril, il a été annulé deux fois puis rebooké et la nouvelle heure de départ ne convient pas (j'arrive à 23h00 au lieu de 15h00 donc il n'y aura pas de trains pour m'emmener à ma destination finale qui est à 300 km)
J'ai contacté le service client pour le rebooker 2 mois plus tard quand mon frère sera en vacances et pourra venir me chercher mais ils me disent que je dois choisir une nouvelle date dans les 30 jours. Ils ne peuvent pas me garantir un hébergement, donc ma seule option est de dormir à l'aéroport ou de payer un hôtel de ma poche. Sont-ils autorisés à faire ça? Il n'y a pas de telles informations sur leur site Web et ils ne m'ont fourni aucune base juridique sur laquelle ils ont fondé leur décision.
Obtenir un remboursement n'est pas une option puisque les prix ont augmenté de 300 %, leurs service client est me****** (pour ne pas dire autre chose)
Merci!

2023.03.24 14:45 Inner-Ad-9928 Estranged revelation
Obligatory on mobile and don't share my story
I have suffered a few concussions in my life so sometimes memories come back unexpectedly.
I'm estranged from my father so I can't ask if he remembers this to clarify what happened.
I was very little at the time and my dad had visitation. He took me to the mall and left me at a beauty salon to get my hair cut and nails done. I didn't have nails because I had started biting them around the time my parents divorce started. So that was a no go. I remember my younger sister was there for that part and that my dad has disappeared while we were being taken care of.
Later he picked us up from the salon. And left me?(can't remember if younger sister was there at that point or if he took her with him) while I picked at my food. I remember it was something Asian and I wasn't familiar with the flavors so it didn't appeal to me at (based on time of divorce I'm guessing 3 ish years old and younger sister would have been just over a year old). Daddy dearest was gone A LONG time in my understanding.
Was that a date daddy dearest?
Did you leave me getting services done like that as a "babysitter" alternative???
I was really little. Something could have happened to me (us?)!
I'm glad I can't talk to you about this because I don't know if I could handle the truth or worse the lies....

2023.03.24 14:45 JustKneller What would be your loadout in this situation?
I'm playing with a number of mods and restrictions to try and make the game challenging.
1) Loot Logic and Reduction. The long and the short of this is that ammo is a tad rare. I can be swimming in .38, but I have to be a little more frugal with other ammo.
2) I'm not even touching any addictive chems. Not for use or barter.
3) No caps. I don't pick them up, and if I get any I console them out. Also, no cheesing around this with other weightless items (i.e. it's pretty easy to get effectively infinite pre-war money).
4) Survival mode. The lower carry weight matters here. On top of that, I'm starting with ST 1, and won't be boosting it until much later.
5) Dogmeat is my only companion. On top of that, one thing that makes me sad is when people put bandanas on their dogs. So, no accessories to bump his carry weight.
6) No settlements. Pure nomad. No base/storage. I can only keep what I can carry. I'll rescue Preston and even become the General, but my settlements will be super minimalist and I won't touch any of their resources. I have to hunt and scavenge for what I need, and I can't even use settlement beds to sleep or save.
7) Leveling limits. Level 99 cap, half leveling rate mod, and no xp for crafting.
8) Perk limits. I only take a perk on the even levels. On the odd levels, I bump SPECIAL. No settlement perks and no crafting perks and no Strong Back/Inspirational will be taken. Lone Wanderer will probably wait, too. However bumping ST will be last since it's the most beneficial with these restrictions. It's also a Spinal Tap run, so SPECIAL bobbles will wait until I max out the stat.
9) The reload key is remapped so I don't unconsciously reload mid-magazine. I can only actually manually reload when "camping".
All that being said, that means I need to make it work with a 110# limit. The tldr on the build/concept is that it's a Nate run. He was a sniper on his unit in the service and is falling back on his training in this situation. As for loadout, I've broken it down by category here.
1) Weapons. Definitely (most likely) a .38 pipe for general use. If I find a .38 receiver for a combat rifle, then I'd probably trick out OG for sniping. I also need a high caliber weapon for harder targets. This is likely a hunting rifle to start, but might actually change to a laser musket when I find the right mods for it. I mean, the LM is probably the most versatile sniper with the easiest ammo. Then, I'll have a weapon for CQ/VATS. Probably a 10mm, but I'd rather lean into Rifleman and build a good VATS tac rifle. Lastly, I'll keep a few grenades and mines on me for special occasions. Of course, legendary drops could shift that. For example, if I get an explosive/plasma infused pipe gun, I'd definitely make that an SMG for CQ/VATS.
2) Armor. I can throw some pocketed leather in the mix early on to boost carry weight a little, but I'll be building towards a set of shadowed and ultralight combat armor, specifically Destroyer's legs, Commando chest and helmet, and whatever good legendaries drop for the arms, hopefully at least one Chameleon piece. I'll also be carrying my vault suit and a gas mask. They're pretty handy for radiation storms.
3) Chems. This is an easy one. All I'll really have on me are stims, antibiotics, rad-x, and radaway. I don't even need the rad-x, but it's a decent bartering item. And, I really only use the antibiotics for infection. I can weather the other illnesses.
4) Food and water. Even with LLR, staying fed and hydrated isn't that difficult. There are more than enough bottles to crank out dirty water and purify it at a cooking station. And, especially once I get the magazine from Sunshine, I can hunt far more food than I can eat. My only problem here is how much to limit myself to conserve space, while not limiting myself so much that resupplying often takes me off course of other plans.
5) Junk. I need virtually no junk. The only junk I need for myself is to craft the lowest level mod on a weapon so I can pull a mod for my own weapons. My first thought is to hold on to a stack of flip lighters, duct tape, and copper maybe. But, really, if a weapon has a mod I like, I'll just tag the materials for search and start scavenging. No point in dragging extra around.
6) Wealth (i.e. bartering goods since I don't have caps). I also have very little need here. I will have to trade for the armor (and occasionally for higher tier ammo), but I can do that with surplus ammo and medical supplies.
My current concerns are as follows.
The first is figuring out the right balance for food/water. What's too much? What's too little?
The second is actual weapons. Pipe weapons are light, but the next tier weapons have real weight. As much as a tac combat rifle, a .38 OG modded for sniping, and a tricked out LM might be optimal, that's easily half my allotted weight (not including ammo). I'd like to trim it down, but I'm not sure how without making any big sacrifices.
Anyway, that's what I'm looking at here. How would you handle the logistics with these limitations?

2023.03.24 14:44 throwra2040 My (24m) girlfriend (23f) won't see her hypocrisy in how she spent her bonus from work
Me and my gf are both working and are both early in our careers. A few months ago I got a £200 bonus from work for passing some exams. As soon as I got it my gf was asking what I was going to spend it on and talking asking if I was going to get her a little present with it etc. She mentioned going out for a meal a few times and I thought it would be a nice thing to do so we went to a nice restaurant in our area that we have been wanting to try and I paid for us.
My gf got a £500 bonus from work last month and when she was talking about how to spend it I jokingly asked what she was getting me. She said nothing and that she was going to treat herself to some new clothes and a night at a nice spa near us. I suggested going out for a meal like we did with my bonus and she said if we go out we'll have to split the bill since she wont be paying for the full meal. I was a little disappointed since she kept going on at me to do something for us when I got my bonus.
It's not even just the meal. For example if I go to the shop to grab something and she asks me to pick something up which I'm happy to do but on the rare occasion I ask my gf to grab me something she'll ask me to transfer her the money for it. I pointed out her hypocrisy when it comes to us getting things for each other and she just said I can't tell her what to do with her money. I get that but she won't see that she expects to be able to do that to me. She went quiet and didn't answer when I asked why she expects me to get things for her when I get a bonus or go to the shop etc but she is unwilling to do that for me. Does anyone have any advice?
tl;dr My gf expects me to use part of the money I get from bonuses on getting her things but refuses to do the same for me and can't see the hypocrisy. Does anyone have any advice?
edit: I posted this earlier but it accidentally posted 3 or 4 times so they all got removed. They have now been deleted so this is the only post

2023.03.24 14:44 Smurphilicious How to create the Fae... almost
Before we jump in I want to make one thing clear.
Let's start with the simplest piece. The iceless
Boom. The cities, connected by these bone-tar portal doors, burst into flame as the bone-tar hits room temperature. Cascading huge goddamn fire. Because fk that guy, that's why.
But let's go back further. The world was created, then the Fae, then the moon stolen and the creation war began. So how does the moon fit in? Why steal it? Well because you've built yourself a perpetual motion machine. You've got all the pieces together, you've connected it all, but it needs ignition. You need to turn this puppy on somehow.
Let's cover the pieces first. Easiest to explain is the Fae itself. The Fae is like the firmament from the early hebrew conception of the cosmos. That's why we're given all these clues about Tehlu's hammer and His Path, the blacksmith crossing over first, forger of the Path. That's why it's called the firmament
Then there were two worlds, two skies, but one moon all round and cozy. Look again to the firmament picture. Now remember that in the Fae, there are only two directions. There's no north, south, east and west. You walk towards night, or dayward. That's it. Then there's the descriptions of appearing as if underwater
Then someone has an idea. They're going to build an engine, an ever-lasting flame. Not just any engine, they're going to turn the world into a rotary engine using seven cities in a radial configuration.
But we think we're clever, as fools usually do. If we used the moon to fire the pistons, we wouldn't have to reset any springs. So clever. So thoughtless. So reckless.
Here's the thing about rotary engines.
Yeah that's not good, is it? Now we have to deal with the 'slippage' we talked about earlier because now our oh-so-clever engine has drawn this onto the world. It's called Coriolis force.
Looks familiar right? It should. That's the Great Stone Road.
That's all I've got so far. I'm not a scientist, and this goes into territory that I don't understand and don't know how to explain. I know the mentions of silver and mercury are references to Cox's Timepiece.
One last note. The reason that even this version of a perpetual motion machine is impossible is because
But someone knew that it wouldn't last forever. Someone saw all the way down the line, and saw that it would all end in disaster, that the shapers needed to be stopped before they destroyed the whole world. It knows what is right, and acts for the greater good, is neither good nor evil. It is justice, the wind that turns the leaves and makes the branches sway.

- A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical machine that can do work infinitely without an external energy source. This kind of machine is impossible, as it would violate either the first or second law of thermodynamics, or both.
Let's start with the simplest piece. The iceless
I made my way around the corner of the bar and knelt to look at the iceless. It was a stone-lined box the size of a small traveling trunk... It was about as simple a piece of artificing as could be made. No moving parts at all, just two flat bands of tin covered in sygaldry that moved heat from one end of the metal band to the other. It was really nothing more than a slow, inefficient heat siphon.Okay, simple concept very easy to grasp. But let's say you're building something not simple. Why is heat siphoning so important?
The technical term for it was “thaumic overfill,” but even Elxa Dal tended to refer to it as slippage.Okay so. First of off, let's agree that Kvothe is definitely going to tear off his arm or hand in book three :D but aside from the lesson and examples, notice how Manet is engraving tin while he talks? Well that's actually why Kvothe needed to fix the iceless
“Smelled like pork,” Manet said grimly. “Damnedest thing. Felt bad for him of course, but you can only feel so much pity for an idiot. A little slippage here and there, you hardly notice, but he must have slipped two hundred thousand thaums inside two seconds.” Manet shook his head, not looking up from the piece of tin he was engraving.
“Thermal slippage is fairly common though,” Manet continued. “Now kinetic slippage ...” He raised his eyebrows appreciatively. “Twenty years back some damn fool El’the got drunk and tried to lift a manure cart onto the roof of the Masters’ Hall on a bet. Tore his own arm off at the shoulder.”
Manet bent back over his piece of tin, engraving a careful rune. “Takes a special kind of stupid to do something like that.”
I crouched down and rested my fingers on the tin bands. The right-hand one was warm, meaning the half on the inside would be correspondingly cool. But the one on the left was room temperature. I craned my neck to get a look at the sygaldry and spotted a deep scratch in the tin, scoring through two of the runes.The heat siphon broke because the sygaldry was damaged. I know what you're thinking. This is the simple part?! But you got this, trust me. Next part we need to cover is the volatile transporting agent: Regim Ignaul Neratum.
That explained it. A piece of sygaldry is like a sentence in a lot of ways. If you remove a couple words, it simply doesn’t make any sense. I should say it usually doesn’t make sense. Sometimes a damaged piece of sygaldry can do something truly unpleasant. I frowned down at the band of tin. This was sloppy artificing. The runes should have been on the inside of the band where they couldn’t be damaged.
“Bone-tar?”Okay now remember the Chandrian stepping into the black boiling fog of Haliax?
Kilvin donned a thick leather glove and decanted about an ounce of dark liquid from the metal canister into a glass vial. “It is important to chill the vial prior to decanting, as the agent boils at room temperature.”
“The pressure cap is also essential, as the liquid is extremely volatile. As a gas it exhibits surface tension and viscosity, like mercury. It is heavier than air and does not dissipate. It coheres to itself.”
Transport reactions are classified according to the thermodynamics of the reaction between the solid and the transporting agent. When the reaction is exothermic, then the solid of interest is transported from the cooler end
Then, each of the others turned with a studied ease and took a step toward Haliax, into the shadow surrounding him. But as their feet came down they slowed, and gently, as if they were made of sand with wind blowing across them, they faded away.The Chandrian, the solids, stepped into the transporting agent. They became like sand as soon as they touched the fog, then they were gone. That's what was in the archways of the Waystone doors.
Then Ben was no longer there, and there was not one standing stone, but many. More than I had ever seen in one place before. They formed a double circle around me. One stone was set across the top of two others, forming a huge arch with thick shadow underneath. I reached out to touch it....The Doors of Death, Doors of Stone. They all led to the Fae, connected all of the cities to each other. But remember what happens to bone-tar at room temperature?
“In addition to being highly corrosive,” Kilvin said, “in its gaseous state the reagent is flammable. Once it warms sufficienctly, it will burn on contact with air. The heat that this produces can cause a cascading exothermic reaction.”So let's say you are angry. Let's say you are seriously pissed off, and you're looking for a little payback against a King. You decide you're going to topple this fool's entire fkn empire in one fell swoop. You "scratch the tin" that the sygaldry is on. You break the heat siphon that was keeping all of these Waystone portal doors chilled.
“Cascading huge Goddamn fire,” Manet said.
Boom. The cities, connected by these bone-tar portal doors, burst into flame as the bone-tar hits room temperature. Cascading huge goddamn fire. Because fk that guy, that's why.
But let's go back further. The world was created, then the Fae, then the moon stolen and the creation war began. So how does the moon fit in? Why steal it? Well because you've built yourself a perpetual motion machine. You've got all the pieces together, you've connected it all, but it needs ignition. You need to turn this puppy on somehow.
Let's cover the pieces first. Easiest to explain is the Fae itself. The Fae is like the firmament from the early hebrew conception of the cosmos. That's why we're given all these clues about Tehlu's hammer and His Path, the blacksmith crossing over first, forger of the Path. That's why it's called the firmament
Rāqīaʿ means that which is firmly hammered, stamped (a word of the same root in Phoenecian means "tin dish"!). The meaning of the verb rqʿ concerns the hammering of the vault of heaven into firmnessThat's how the shapers created someplace new for themselves, to do as they willed. They created a road not for travelling, a barrier between worlds they could go through.
Then there were two worlds, two skies, but one moon all round and cozy. Look again to the firmament picture. Now remember that in the Fae, there are only two directions. There's no north, south, east and west. You walk towards night, or dayward. That's it. Then there's the descriptions of appearing as if underwater
For example, I remember Felurian in the purpling twilight. It dappled her through the trees, making her look as if she were underwater.Dappled shade, feeling as if underwater when a Namer looks into your eyes. So now our world has an outer shell, a second world, an insulated tube filled with water. But again, there's no north, south, east, west. Only Night and Day. A two dimensional plane, a massive halo around the world.
Then someone has an idea. They're going to build an engine, an ever-lasting flame. Not just any engine, they're going to turn the world into a rotary engine using seven cities in a radial configuration.
The radial engine is a reciprocating type internal combustion engine configuration in which the cylinders "radiate" outward from a central crankcase like the spokes of a wheel.But you need the pistons to fire. Do you remember how the arrowcatch works?
I gestured to a different diagram. “What I really needed was something that could push back against the arrow. And it had to push very fast and very hard. I ended up using the spring steel from a bear trap. Modified, of course.”The arrowcatch and our radial engine work the same. It looks like this. The only difference is that the arrowcatch uses bear trap springs that store the energy, then need to be manually reset.
“First, the arrow comes close and establishes the binding. Second, the incoming arrow’s momentum sets off the trigger, just like stepping on a trap.” I snapped my fingers sharply. “Then the spring’s stored energy pushes back at the arrow, stopping it or even knocking it backward.”
“Both of my shots came from the same direction,” he said. “How was the second one stopped if that spring had already been triggered?”
“It hangs on a pivot ring,” I said.
But we think we're clever, as fools usually do. If we used the moon to fire the pistons, we wouldn't have to reset any springs. So clever. So thoughtless. So reckless.
Here's the thing about rotary engines.
Power increase also came with mass and size increases, multiplying gyroscopic precession from the rotating mass of the engine.Uh-oh. So remember our massive halo ring around the world? Now it's looking something like this, gyroscopic precession.
Yeah that's not good, is it? Now we have to deal with the 'slippage' we talked about earlier because now our oh-so-clever engine has drawn this onto the world. It's called Coriolis force.
Looks familiar right? It should. That's the Great Stone Road.
Cox claimed that his design was a true perpetual motion machine, but as the device is powered from changes in atmospheric pressure via a mercury barometer, this is not the case.So Cinder's chill, and the heat coming off of Felurian and Denna are connected somehow. I'm sure that the Coriolis force portion also ties into meteorology, because it's the Name of the Wind and in meteorology
[Coriolis effect] is responsible for the rotation and thus formation of cyclonesThe other part I can't pin down is the sumner, the Tehlin judge who comes to arrest Kvothe.
The man holding the parchment eyed Simmon calmly, then reached inside his cloak and brought out a stout iron rod with a band of gold around each end. Sim paled a bit as the grim man held it up for everyone in the room to see. Not only was it every bit as threatening as the constable’s cudgels, the rod was an unmistakable symbol of his authority. The man was a sumner for the Commonwealth courts.Iron rod with gold band around each end sounds like a heat exchanger. Another reason I know it's connected to the Fae is because of the origin of the name Sumner
Thomas Hubbard Sumner (20 March 1807 – 9 March 1876) was a sea captain during the 19th century. He is best known for developing the celestial navigation method known as the Sumner lineIt has something to do with the secret place where three roofs meet. Also,
The crater Sumner, and the nearby crater chain Catena Sumner, on the far side of the Moon, are named after himWhich connects to the Chain Dian, moon chains. Also I'm pretty sure that Haliax is meant to represent Maxwell's Demon.
These laws of thermodynamics apply regardless of the size of the system. For example, the motions and rotations of celestial bodies such as planets may appear perpetual, but are actually subject to many processes that slowly dissipate their kinetic energy, such as solar wind, interstellar medium resistance, gravitational radiation and thermal radiation, so they will not keep moving forever.Not even the moon will go on forever. So the shapers built this machine, built their Paradise and Utopia thinking that all was well and that it would last forever.
But someone knew that it wouldn't last forever. Someone saw all the way down the line, and saw that it would all end in disaster, that the shapers needed to be stopped before they destroyed the whole world. It knows what is right, and acts for the greater good, is neither good nor evil. It is justice, the wind that turns the leaves and makes the branches sway.
“Reshi, the Cthaeh can see the future. Not in some vague, oracular way. It sees all the future. Clearly. Perfectly. Everything that can possibly come to pass, branching out endlessly from the current moment.”

Figuring out what the best router for your needs can be complicated. We've tested the top Wi-Fi router brands so you can find the right one for your needs.
Take a look at this list: https://quizience.com/best-wi-fi-routers-for-2022/
TP-Link Archer AX21
Best budget router
Wi-Fi Standard
Wi-Fi 6
Speed Rating
AX1800
Range
Up to 2,500 sq. ft.
Wireless Networking Security
WPA3
Bands
Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)
Available for $100 (or less if you catch a sale), the TP-Link Archer AX21 is an entry-level, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router that supports top speeds of up to 1,201Mbps (1.2Gbps) on its 5GHz band. It's nothing fancy, but it offered near flawless performance for small- to medium-size homes in our tests, and it's a cinch to setup and use thanks to TP-Link's Tether app.
Best of all, when tested against other, similar routers from names like Asus and Netgear, the AX21 held its own with faster download speeds, better range, and low latency, too. Add in a functional bandsteering mode that automatically steers you between the 2.4 and 5GHz bands within a single network, plus guest network controls and even a quality of service engine for prioritizing traffic to the most important devices on your network, and you're looking at a decent home networking upgrade that's as simple and affordable as it gets. It isn't powerful enough to max out speeds on a gigabit network, but it can still hit consistent close-range speeds near 700Mbps or so, which is more than enough for most households. Read our TP-Link Archer AX21 review.
Linksys Hydra Pro 6 (MR5500)
Best midrange router
Wi-Fi Standard
Wi-Fi 6
Speed Rating
AX5400
Range
Up to 2,700 sq. ft.
Wireless Networking Security
WPA2, WPA3
Bands
Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)
If you've already got a budget router running your network and you're ready to upgrade to something more powerful, the Linksys Hydra Pro 6 belongs high on your list. With a dual-band, AX5400 build, full support for Wi-Fi 6, and 160MHz channel support for moving data more efficiently, it was an excellent performer in my speed tests, even managing to outperform flashier picks like the also great Asus RT-AX86U.
The Hydra Pro 6 is a touch pricey as dual-band routers go, but the steady, consistent performance makes it a standout. Try and catch it on sale if you can, but if you just want a reliable, no-frills router that can keep up with gigabit speeds, look no further. Read our Linksys Hydra Pro 6 review.
TP-Link Deco W7200
Best mesh router overall
Wi-Fi Standard
Wi-Fi 6
Speed Rating
AX3600
Range
Up to 5,500 sq. ft. (two devices)
Wireless Networking Security
WPA2, WPA3
Bands
Tri-Band (2.4 and two 5GHz)
For the best performance from your mesh router, you'll want to prioritize getting one with support for Wi-Fi 6, plus a tri-band design that includes three separate bands of traffic: the usual 2.4 and 5GHz bands, plus an additional 5GHz band that the system can use as a dedicated wireless backhaul for transmissions between the router and its satellites. Most mesh routers like that cost at least $300 or even $400, but the TP-Link Deco W7200 gets you there for less than $250.
That's the best deal I've seen for a tri-band mesh router with support for Wi-Fi 6 -- and sure enough, it's an excellent performer, as well. In fact, the only system that managed to outperform it outright in my at-home speed tests is the AX6000 version of Netgear Orbi, which costs more than three times as much (keep reading for more on that one). On top of that, TP-Link's setup process is about as easy as it gets, with satellite extenders that automatically join the mesh as soon as you plug them in. Read our TP-Link Deco W7200 review.
Asus RT-AX86U
Best gaming router
Wi-Fi standard
Wi-Fi 6
Speed Rating
AX5700
Range
Up to 2,500 sq. ft.
Wireless Networking Security
WPA3
Bands
Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)
Gaming routers promise high performance and low latency for die-hard gamers, and it isn't uncommon to find them selling for $300 or even $400. At about $270 or less, the Asus RT-AX86U dual-band router isn't inexpensive either, but it's a strong value relative to routers like those -- and the performance it delivers as a gaming router is flat-out great.
Most noteworthy is the router's latency management. In fact, it leads all of the routers I've ever tested, gaming or otherwise, with the lowest average latency across all of my tests, which online gamers will definitely appreciate. Something else you'll appreciate: An excellent mix of app-based controls and features, including a mobile boost mode, that lets you prioritize gaming traffic to your phone at the touch of a button.
Gaming features aside, the RT-AX86U offers full support for Wi-Fi 6, with strong, stable speeds and good range. If you need additional range, you can add other Asus "AIMesh" devices to your home network to make it the centerpiece of a mesh.
That checks off all of the boxes that most people want from a good gaming router, and it gets you there at a price that isn't too painful for us to recommend. Even if you aren't a gamer, this is still one of the best Wi-Fi 6 routers you can buy right now. Read our list of the best gaming routers.

2023.03.24 14:44 StudMuffinNick After 4 tries, I think I've finally figured it out
As a background, I've always loved MMOs and RPGs but for some reason, every time I picked up Marrowind, then Oblivion, then Skyrim, I just could not stand it.
Anywho, I was a huge fan of Bless Unleashed and wanted to find on an mmo on console, but anime RPGs just don't interest me. I can't get immersed in it. So I purchased ESO. Three times I started, chose a different class than previously, and quit. My 3rd time I actually got pretty far into my first area before losing interest.
Well after burning myself out of Cyberpunk I decided to try it one more time since Throne and Liberty isn't here yet. I picked a Necromancer and just skipped the tutorial and started in High Isle. That was nearly 40 hours ago of play time and I still haven't lost a single bit of interest. I'm absorbed into the story (as confusing as the constant weird name drops are) and my 2h axe-wielding skeleton summoner is goddamn fun, I'm mad I never tried that class before. I spent years trying to play Elder Scrolls on and off and not being able too, but now I think I'm starting to see the hype and reason people have played for years. There's so much shit left to learn and without prior knowledge of the universe, I'm doing my best to learn everything all at once, but I'm glad this sub has so many years of answers because everything I've searched I've been able to find.

Have been working out at home with weights till now, but i think its finally the time i start going to the gym to gain some mass and muscles!
Some tips for a total newbie please! I have zero knowledge about gyms and what exercises I'll need to do using the equipment, and how to do them, and specifying days for specific body parts, etc etc.
Whats the average price for a month/year membership at a good gym? What things should i keep in mind, and how much can i expect the trainers there to help me without hiring a private trainer? Any tips regarding diet and stuff like that too?
I dont have any friends that live near me and go to the gym, so I dont want to waste my time or injure myself by going there but not knowing how to use the equipment properly..
Any helpful tips would be much appreciated :)

2023.03.24 14:44 Smurphilicious How to create the Fae... almost.
Before we jump in I want to make one thing clear.
Let's start with the simplest piece. The iceless
Boom. The cities, connected by these bone-tar portal doors, burst into flame as the bone-tar hits room temperature. Cascading huge goddamn fire. Because fk that guy, that's why.
But let's go back further. The world was created, then the Fae, then the moon stolen and the creation war began. So how does the moon fit in? Why steal it? Well because you've built yourself a perpetual motion machine. You've got all the pieces together, you've connected it all, but it needs ignition. You need to turn this puppy on somehow.
Let's cover the pieces first. Easiest to explain is the Fae itself. The Fae is like the firmament from the early hebrew conception of the cosmos. That's why we're given all these clues about Tehlu's hammer and His Path, the blacksmith crossing over first, forger of the Path. That's why it's called the firmament
Then there were two worlds, two skies, but one moon all round and cozy. Look again to the firmament picture. Now remember that in the Fae, there are only two directions. There's no north, south, east and west. You walk towards night, or dayward. That's it. Then there's the descriptions of appearing as if underwater
Then someone has an idea. They're going to build an engine, an ever-lasting flame. Not just any engine, they're going to turn the world into a rotary engine using seven cities in a radial configuration.
But we think we're clever, as fools usually do. If we used the moon to fire the pistons, we wouldn't have to reset any springs. So clever. So thoughtless. So reckless.
Here's the thing about rotary engines.
Yeah that's not good, is it? Now we have to deal with the 'slippage' we talked about earlier because now our oh-so-clever engine has drawn this onto the world. It's called Coriolis force.
Looks familiar right? It should. That's the Great Stone Road.
That's all I've got so far. I'm not a scientist, and this goes into territory that I don't understand and don't know how to explain. I know the mentions of silver and mercury are references to Cox's Timepiece.
One last note. The reason that even this version of a perpetual motion machine is impossible is because
But someone knew that it wouldn't last forever. Someone saw all the way down the line, and saw that it would all end in disaster, that the shapers needed to be stopped before they destroyed the whole world. It knows what is right, and acts for the greater good, is neither good nor evil. It is justice, the wind that turns the leaves and makes the branches sway.

- A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical machine that can do work infinitely without an external energy source. This kind of machine is impossible, as it would violate either the first or second law of thermodynamics, or both.
Let's start with the simplest piece. The iceless
I made my way around the corner of the bar and knelt to look at the iceless. It was a stone-lined box the size of a small traveling trunk... It was about as simple a piece of artificing as could be made. No moving parts at all, just two flat bands of tin covered in sygaldry that moved heat from one end of the metal band to the other. It was really nothing more than a slow, inefficient heat siphon.Okay, simple concept very easy to grasp. But let's say you're building something not simple. Why is heat siphoning so important?
The technical term for it was “thaumic overfill,” but even Elxa Dal tended to refer to it as slippage.Okay so. First of off, let's agree that Kvothe is definitely going to tear off his arm or hand in book three :D but aside from the lesson and examples, notice how Manet is engraving tin while he talks? Well that's actually why Kvothe needed to fix the iceless
“Smelled like pork,” Manet said grimly. “Damnedest thing. Felt bad for him of course, but you can only feel so much pity for an idiot. A little slippage here and there, you hardly notice, but he must have slipped two hundred thousand thaums inside two seconds.” Manet shook his head, not looking up from the piece of tin he was engraving.
“Thermal slippage is fairly common though,” Manet continued. “Now kinetic slippage ...” He raised his eyebrows appreciatively. “Twenty years back some damn fool El’the got drunk and tried to lift a manure cart onto the roof of the Masters’ Hall on a bet. Tore his own arm off at the shoulder.”
Manet bent back over his piece of tin, engraving a careful rune. “Takes a special kind of stupid to do something like that.”
I crouched down and rested my fingers on the tin bands. The right-hand one was warm, meaning the half on the inside would be correspondingly cool. But the one on the left was room temperature. I craned my neck to get a look at the sygaldry and spotted a deep scratch in the tin, scoring through two of the runes.The heat siphon broke because the sygaldry was damaged. I know what you're thinking. This is the simple part?! But you got this, trust me. Next part we need to cover is the volatile transporting agent: Regim Ignaul Neratum.
That explained it. A piece of sygaldry is like a sentence in a lot of ways. If you remove a couple words, it simply doesn’t make any sense. I should say it usually doesn’t make sense. Sometimes a damaged piece of sygaldry can do something truly unpleasant. I frowned down at the band of tin. This was sloppy artificing. The runes should have been on the inside of the band where they couldn’t be damaged.
“Bone-tar?”Okay now remember the Chandrian stepping into the black boiling fog of Haliax?
Kilvin donned a thick leather glove and decanted about an ounce of dark liquid from the metal canister into a glass vial. “It is important to chill the vial prior to decanting, as the agent boils at room temperature.”
“The pressure cap is also essential, as the liquid is extremely volatile. As a gas it exhibits surface tension and viscosity, like mercury. It is heavier than air and does not dissipate. It coheres to itself.”
Transport reactions are classified according to the thermodynamics of the reaction between the solid and the transporting agent. When the reaction is exothermic, then the solid of interest is transported from the cooler end
Then, each of the others turned with a studied ease and took a step toward Haliax, into the shadow surrounding him. But as their feet came down they slowed, and gently, as if they were made of sand with wind blowing across them, they faded away.The Chandrian, the solids, stepped into the transporting agent. They became like sand as soon as they touched the fog, then they were gone. That's what was in the archways of the Waystone doors.
Then Ben was no longer there, and there was not one standing stone, but many. More than I had ever seen in one place before. They formed a double circle around me. One stone was set across the top of two others, forming a huge arch with thick shadow underneath. I reached out to touch it....The Doors of Death, Doors of Stone. They all led to the Fae, connected all of the cities to each other. But remember what happens to bone-tar at room temperature?
“In addition to being highly corrosive,” Kilvin said, “in its gaseous state the reagent is flammable. Once it warms sufficienctly, it will burn on contact with air. The heat that this produces can cause a cascading exothermic reaction.”So let's say you are angry. Let's say you are seriously pissed off, and you're looking for a little payback against a King. You decide you're going to topple this fool's entire fkn empire in one fell swoop. You "scratch the tin" that the sygaldry is on. You break the heat siphon that was keeping all of these Waystone portal doors chilled.
“Cascading huge Goddamn fire,” Manet said.
Boom. The cities, connected by these bone-tar portal doors, burst into flame as the bone-tar hits room temperature. Cascading huge goddamn fire. Because fk that guy, that's why.
But let's go back further. The world was created, then the Fae, then the moon stolen and the creation war began. So how does the moon fit in? Why steal it? Well because you've built yourself a perpetual motion machine. You've got all the pieces together, you've connected it all, but it needs ignition. You need to turn this puppy on somehow.
Let's cover the pieces first. Easiest to explain is the Fae itself. The Fae is like the firmament from the early hebrew conception of the cosmos. That's why we're given all these clues about Tehlu's hammer and His Path, the blacksmith crossing over first, forger of the Path. That's why it's called the firmament
Rāqīaʿ means that which is firmly hammered, stamped (a word of the same root in Phoenecian means "tin dish"!). The meaning of the verb rqʿ concerns the hammering of the vault of heaven into firmnessThat's how the shapers created someplace new for themselves, to do as they willed. They created a road not for travelling, a barrier between worlds they could go through.
Then there were two worlds, two skies, but one moon all round and cozy. Look again to the firmament picture. Now remember that in the Fae, there are only two directions. There's no north, south, east and west. You walk towards night, or dayward. That's it. Then there's the descriptions of appearing as if underwater
For example, I remember Felurian in the purpling twilight. It dappled her through the trees, making her look as if she were underwater.Dappled shade, feeling as if underwater when a Namer looks into your eyes. So now our world has an outer shell, a second world, an insulated tube filled with water. But again, there's no north, south, east, west. Only Night and Day. A two dimensional plane, a massive halo around the world.
Then someone has an idea. They're going to build an engine, an ever-lasting flame. Not just any engine, they're going to turn the world into a rotary engine using seven cities in a radial configuration.
The radial engine is a reciprocating type internal combustion engine configuration in which the cylinders "radiate" outward from a central crankcase like the spokes of a wheel.But you need the pistons to fire. Do you remember how the arrowcatch works?
I gestured to a different diagram. “What I really needed was something that could push back against the arrow. And it had to push very fast and very hard. I ended up using the spring steel from a bear trap. Modified, of course.”The arrowcatch and our radial engine work the same. It looks like this. The only difference is that the arrowcatch uses bear trap springs that store the energy, then need to be manually reset.
“First, the arrow comes close and establishes the binding. Second, the incoming arrow’s momentum sets off the trigger, just like stepping on a trap.” I snapped my fingers sharply. “Then the spring’s stored energy pushes back at the arrow, stopping it or even knocking it backward.”
“Both of my shots came from the same direction,” he said. “How was the second one stopped if that spring had already been triggered?”
“It hangs on a pivot ring,” I said.
But we think we're clever, as fools usually do. If we used the moon to fire the pistons, we wouldn't have to reset any springs. So clever. So thoughtless. So reckless.
Here's the thing about rotary engines.
Power increase also came with mass and size increases, multiplying gyroscopic precession from the rotating mass of the engine.Uh-oh. So remember our massive halo ring around the world? Now it's looking something like this, gyroscopic precession.
Yeah that's not good, is it? Now we have to deal with the 'slippage' we talked about earlier because now our oh-so-clever engine has drawn this onto the world. It's called Coriolis force.
Looks familiar right? It should. That's the Great Stone Road.
Cox claimed that his design was a true perpetual motion machine, but as the device is powered from changes in atmospheric pressure via a mercury barometer, this is not the case.So Cinder's chill, and the heat coming off of Felurian and Denna are connected somehow. I'm sure that the Coriolis force portion also ties into meteorology, because it's the Name of the Wind and in meteorology
[Coriolis effect] is responsible for the rotation and thus formation of cyclonesThe other part I can't pin down is the sumner, the Tehlin judge who comes to arrest Kvothe.
The man holding the parchment eyed Simmon calmly, then reached inside his cloak and brought out a stout iron rod with a band of gold around each end. Sim paled a bit as the grim man held it up for everyone in the room to see. Not only was it every bit as threatening as the constable’s cudgels, the rod was an unmistakable symbol of his authority. The man was a sumner for the Commonwealth courts.Iron rod with gold band around each end sounds like a heat exchanger. Another reason I know it's connected to the Fae is because of the origin of the name Sumner
Thomas Hubbard Sumner (20 March 1807 – 9 March 1876) was a sea captain during the 19th century. He is best known for developing the celestial navigation method known as the Sumner lineIt has something to do with the secret place where three roofs meet. Also,
The crater Sumner, and the nearby crater chain Catena Sumner, on the far side of the Moon, are named after himWhich connects to the Chain Dian, moon chains. Also I'm pretty sure that Haliax is meant to represent Maxwell's Demon.
These laws of thermodynamics apply regardless of the size of the system. For example, the motions and rotations of celestial bodies such as planets may appear perpetual, but are actually subject to many processes that slowly dissipate their kinetic energy, such as solar wind, interstellar medium resistance, gravitational radiation and thermal radiation, so they will not keep moving forever.Not even the moon will go on forever. So the shapers built this machine, built their Paradise and Utopia thinking that all was well and that it would last forever.
But someone knew that it wouldn't last forever. Someone saw all the way down the line, and saw that it would all end in disaster, that the shapers needed to be stopped before they destroyed the whole world. It knows what is right, and acts for the greater good, is neither good nor evil. It is justice, the wind that turns the leaves and makes the branches sway.
“Reshi, the Cthaeh can see the future. Not in some vague, oracular way. It sees all the future. Clearly. Perfectly. Everything that can possibly come to pass, branching out endlessly from the current moment.”

I'm a book-reading, museum-visiting, old-fashioned old man with a tendency to talk to myself and animals. I like forward-thinking, intelligent, and witty women with opinions, goals, and a career. Introverts and extroverts. Tall, short, middling height. Doesn't matter. Personality is what keeps you around. Tell me about your unique human journey. Want to unburden yourself of your existential thoughts on the futility of existence? I'll listen. However, if you try to tell me to not put mayo on my fries we will have issues and it will be pistols at dawn! I'm not anti-ketchup (catsup?). Just pro-mayo.
I'm big and tall, sport black glasses, and have a short and well-kept beard. I clearly believe in the Oxford comma and that seems to be the panty-dropper when it comes to online dating. I have a legit grown man job. I can prove it by the amount of emails I send every day. I'm so productive. I'm kind of a nomad who has been chasing promotions and work success the last few years. I'll probably move again this year but that's starting to wear me out so I'm looking to settle down somewhere for my next move.
I love to get out and do things. I'm all about new experiences and challenging yourself to get out of your comfort zone. I enjoy learning new skills, exploring hobbies, and reevaluating my perspectives.
I will quote a movie or two or three hundred. I'm a casual outdoorsman. Don't expect me to be scaling Kilimanjaro but I am definitely down to rock out to some Toto while taking a walk in a state park. I consider myself nerdy but not in the pop culture sense. I'm not well-versed in popular video games, comic book trends, or the latest Star Wars regurgitations. But...I am very competitive and will absolutely talk trash while playing board games with you. I have a couple of esoteric hobbies that we can talk about. That's called a tease. Did it work?

2023.03.24 14:43 Icy-Conflict8398 Best Wi-Fi Router 2023
Figuring out what the best router for your needs can be complicated. We've tested the top Wi-Fi router brands so you can find the right one for your needs.
Take a look at this list: https://quizience.com/best-wi-fi-routers-for-2022/
TP-Link Archer AX21
Best budget router
Wi-Fi Standard
Wi-Fi 6
Speed Rating
AX1800
Range
Up to 2,500 sq. ft.
Wireless Networking Security
WPA3
Bands
Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)
Available for $100 (or less if you catch a sale), the TP-Link Archer AX21 is an entry-level, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router that supports top speeds of up to 1,201Mbps (1.2Gbps) on its 5GHz band. It's nothing fancy, but it offered near flawless performance for small- to medium-size homes in our tests, and it's a cinch to setup and use thanks to TP-Link's Tether app.
Best of all, when tested against other, similar routers from names like Asus and Netgear, the AX21 held its own with faster download speeds, better range, and low latency, too. Add in a functional bandsteering mode that automatically steers you between the 2.4 and 5GHz bands within a single network, plus guest network controls and even a quality of service engine for prioritizing traffic to the most important devices on your network, and you're looking at a decent home networking upgrade that's as simple and affordable as it gets. It isn't powerful enough to max out speeds on a gigabit network, but it can still hit consistent close-range speeds near 700Mbps or so, which is more than enough for most households. Read our TP-Link Archer AX21 review.
Linksys Hydra Pro 6 (MR5500)
Best midrange router
Wi-Fi Standard
Wi-Fi 6
Speed Rating
AX5400
Range
Up to 2,700 sq. ft.
Wireless Networking Security
WPA2, WPA3
Bands
Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)
If you've already got a budget router running your network and you're ready to upgrade to something more powerful, the Linksys Hydra Pro 6 belongs high on your list. With a dual-band, AX5400 build, full support for Wi-Fi 6, and 160MHz channel support for moving data more efficiently, it was an excellent performer in my speed tests, even managing to outperform flashier picks like the also great Asus RT-AX86U.
The Hydra Pro 6 is a touch pricey as dual-band routers go, but the steady, consistent performance makes it a standout. Try and catch it on sale if you can, but if you just want a reliable, no-frills router that can keep up with gigabit speeds, look no further. Read our Linksys Hydra Pro 6 review.
TP-Link Deco W7200
Best mesh router overall
Wi-Fi Standard
Wi-Fi 6
Speed Rating
AX3600
Range
Up to 5,500 sq. ft. (two devices)
Wireless Networking Security
WPA2, WPA3
Bands
Tri-Band (2.4 and two 5GHz)
For the best performance from your mesh router, you'll want to prioritize getting one with support for Wi-Fi 6, plus a tri-band design that includes three separate bands of traffic: the usual 2.4 and 5GHz bands, plus an additional 5GHz band that the system can use as a dedicated wireless backhaul for transmissions between the router and its satellites. Most mesh routers like that cost at least $300 or even $400, but the TP-Link Deco W7200 gets you there for less than $250.
That's the best deal I've seen for a tri-band mesh router with support for Wi-Fi 6 -- and sure enough, it's an excellent performer, as well. In fact, the only system that managed to outperform it outright in my at-home speed tests is the AX6000 version of Netgear Orbi, which costs more than three times as much (keep reading for more on that one). On top of that, TP-Link's setup process is about as easy as it gets, with satellite extenders that automatically join the mesh as soon as you plug them in. Read our TP-Link Deco W7200 review.
Asus RT-AX86U
Best gaming router
Wi-Fi standard
Wi-Fi 6
Speed Rating
AX5700
Range
Up to 2,500 sq. ft.
Wireless Networking Security
WPA3
Bands
Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)
Gaming routers promise high performance and low latency for die-hard gamers, and it isn't uncommon to find them selling for $300 or even $400. At about $270 or less, the Asus RT-AX86U dual-band router isn't inexpensive either, but it's a strong value relative to routers like those -- and the performance it delivers as a gaming router is flat-out great.
Most noteworthy is the router's latency management. In fact, it leads all of the routers I've ever tested, gaming or otherwise, with the lowest average latency across all of my tests, which online gamers will definitely appreciate. Something else you'll appreciate: An excellent mix of app-based controls and features, including a mobile boost mode, that lets you prioritize gaming traffic to your phone at the touch of a button.
Gaming features aside, the RT-AX86U offers full support for Wi-Fi 6, with strong, stable speeds and good range. If you need additional range, you can add other Asus "AIMesh" devices to your home network to make it the centerpiece of a mesh.
That checks off all of the boxes that most people want from a good gaming router, and it gets you there at a price that isn't too painful for us to recommend. Even if you aren't a gamer, this is still one of the best Wi-Fi 6 routers you can buy right now. Read our list of the best gaming routers.

2023.03.24 14:43 Big-Armadillo-6919 Letter I (AA) want to send my ex (unsure if FA or DA or neither?)
Hi,
I have been reading up a lot on AT styles since my ex broke up with me. Everything I've been reading has made me understand more and realise a lot. I say unsure if she is an FA or DA or neither but signs do point to being Avoidant. Due to conversations and how things ended up. I don't hate her or anything like that. I miss her and love her.
Things she has said has made things very confusing. Main thing before ending things was her saying "I am super afraid you'll stop trying" then ends it but also said she wants to keep our friendship. I've not been blocked on FB or WhatsApp.
Right now we're not talking and just want her to talk to me.
I hope you guys can give me some advice, I'm not sure if this is the right place to do this but helps me to talk. I have our messages to help understand more, which can be talked off here and via PM if anyone wanted to?
Letter:
Dear G****,
I don't even know where to begin. I've never done anything like this before... I also don't know if this is the right thing to do or if it's going to make things even worse. I find it hard to express my feelings in such a way and to say or find the right words.
I wish we took things so much slower when we matched on Tinder. I understand why you broke things off, I accept and respect your decision. You had just come out of a 3 year relationship and we rushed into one together.
15 years ago, we met back in college, when I laid eyes on you I knew we would have an instant connection and bond and I wish we got to know each other more back then, before you disappeared. Over the 15 years, you would pop into my head now and then, wondering what you were doing with your life and what you were up to. I waited 15 years for my chance with you. It almost felt like fate to just come back into each other's lives the way we did and as soon as we met up on our first date, we instantly just clicked together like Lego bricks, like there hadn't been a 15 year separation between us. The bond we formed, you just don't throw away. Our energies meshed perfectly. I remember you taking a photo of me to send to your Mum, when you went to get the ice lollies, it did make me smile.
Remember that day when we went to Windsor and that drunk guy punched that man in his car. You grabbed hold of my arm so tightly and pulled yourself into me. Since then I just felt this urge to protect you and be your protector and keep you safe. I know you are a strong independent woman and you don't need a protector like that. You are far stronger than any man, far stronger than me. I am so proud of you everyday, because of the strength you have to just fight and push on even when you have no spoons for the day or even the week.
I fell in love with you, not for your body or what you do on social media or what you decided to do for a career. I fell in love with you for your beautiful soul, your kindhearted nature, your brilliant mind. I fell in love with you because you brought so much light into my world, when I was at my lowest point, my darkest place (I still feel terrible for disappearing on you after our first date, I was still climbing towards the light you brought into my world). You instantly became my best friend, my home. You mended a shattered heart you didn't need to do. I found my genuine smile again and I could see your genuine smile, even your family said they had never seen you happier. I found my drive to do better in my life, my happiness and find goals in my life again. I fell in love with you because at the end of the day I knew I wanted to marry my best friend one day. That is why I fell in love with you.
It warmed my heart knowing you felt so safe with me, that you could just fall asleep cuddling me.
You do the cutest happy dance when you have foods that always made me smile.
You said you were failing to commit, I never saw you failing. I saw you giving your all to something you felt was right and deep down you care about me more than you think.
This letter is not my way of trying to change your decision or mind about how you feel about me. Nor am I going to beg you to take me back, like I did at the time as my emotions were running high, I admit I did not take the break up well at first but I know I was wrong, I panicked.
I am truly sorry for the mistakes I made, overwhelming you, being needy as I became too comfortable too quickly, not giving you the space you needed, only thinking of myself, driving a wedge between us, like when I messaged your mum, it was because I was worried something happened to you when you were riding your bike home down the canal as you didn't message to say you were home, I just got worried, I should have said to her to let you sleep, it wasn't to keep tabs on you or control you. I never wanted that, I only ever wanted to see you happy and safe, I'm sorry it took me this long to realise, I never wanted to hurt you or upset you. I lost sight of the man I was, the man you fell for.
I hope one day you can forgive me.
I hope you will reach out to me one day when you have time, free to do so. So we can have an open and honest conversation. Not being able to talk to you and see you has been very hard to bear. I know you need more time.
I will never force you to do anything you don't want to do though, I hope you know that.
I will always love you and you will always be my little squirrel. I will never stop trying with you and will never stop caring about you, you are worth fighting for. I miss you so much and miss going on adventures with you and how happy they made you. Our story is not yet over, please don't close the book just yet.
C**** x
(Ps. Please accept the Hufflepuff cushion, I know how much you love Badger and that you cuddle him at night sometimes)

I have been reading up a lot on AT styles since my ex broke up with me. Everything I've been reading has made me understand more and realise a lot. I say unsure if she is an FA or DA or neither but signs do point to being Avoidant. Due to conversations and how things ended up. I don't hate her or anything like that. I miss her and love her.
Things she has said has made things very confusing. Main thing before ending things was her saying "I am super afraid you'll stop trying" then ends it but also said she wants to keep our friendship. I've not been blocked on FB or WhatsApp.

2023.03.24 14:43 TLP333 An old carriage clock that I believe has been in my family for several generations has been passed down to me. I’ve been told it was serviced a few decades ago and my aunt was told it was quite valuable, any information would be greatly appreciated. It’s also in working order, should I use it?

2023.03.24 14:42 Suspicious-Wafer-188 I’m Over It
Anyone experience this heartbreak and total give up moment?
My spouse stopped touching me when I got pregnant. Blamed me for x,y,z which I always hastily fixed or changed as quickly as possible. After 3 years of him getting drunk and calling me everything under the sun, from a coward to a cunt to someone whose values are weak…I finally went through his shit and found photos of his exes nude and bent over in his fap files (pre our relationship), some of their onlyfans, secret instagram accounts to keep up with them.
I was grateful to have my answer as to why I was so undesirable. You know those lyrics from Runaway… ‘I could have me a good girl, and still be addicted to them hoodrats, I just blame everything on you, you know that’s what I’m good at.’
I’m a modest woman with a decently good upbringing. I work hard in the home, with our child, and earn an income for us on top of it all. For those 3 years he was being cruel and selfish, I kept counting on the fact I know he is a good man underneath it all. We have been so compatible on the majority of fronts…
I decided I was going to leave, so he deleted all the stuff of his past and quit drinking. A year and some change passed with absolutely zero intimacy… well, besides me rubbing his feet every night and giving him massages until he falls asleep. I pray and pray for the right time to try to initiate, and things have been stressful financially and with moving. Waiting, praying…I make up every excuse under the sun to be more patient and not rush it. To be more loving, more understanding.
Anyways, last night I initiated and we had sex. And it was awful. I didn’t need it to be a sensual passionate hour session. But I was happy it ended so quickly. I feel like a fleshlight. Just sent me over without much to do at all with warming me up and finished himself. When i asked if he could play with my boob so I can get off he said he was too tired.
All the signs of his porn addiction are still there. I keep telling myself I’m an asshole for not seeing it as progress, at least he is being a lot nicer, at least he is a better dad these days, at least it’s a step in the right direction. At least at least at least…
My heart has hit a new time low. Turns out no matter how amazing you treat someone it doesn’t fucking matter. They’ll lie and say they are listening to music for an hour every night in the shower while they are jerking off to hundreds of other women, and fuck your sexual needs just go cook fucking dinner, make sure the toddler isn’t crying too much, and rub my feet.
