Do not provide support, I will reject it. Mods, please remove all restrictions on negative comments solely for this post.
So, I made a previous post here explaining why I suck for retroactive reasons, but I'm going to explain why everyone's reassurance there is completely invalid, since it's blatantly obvious I'm still a piece of crap today. I carefully (and probably secretly self-servingly) omitted all my current shitty behaviour in the last post:

• 1. I inherently suck at household labour. Badly. When my (for some weird reason) now-wife and I first moved in together, I dumped so much of it on her that she completely burned out and became depressed, and she lost all will to do just about anything.
  • I gradually picked up tasks until there was an even split, including doing a time diary to ensure it. But this doesn't absolve shit-all. I should not have had to do this. Other people figure this shit out without having to go to such ridiculous lengths. I'm just inherently lazy and useless, and think throwing in some kind of gargantuan effort to do the BARE FUCKING MINIMUM makes it OK.
  • I used to make the pathetic excuse of "oh it's ADHD, oh my Mom used to just follow us around cleaning up so we never learned, oh I'm trying my best." Bullshit. Other people have ADHD and overly accommodating parents and don't do this.
• 1. Another fucking embarrassment: I used to work so much during the week that I wound up just collapsing and sleeping until noon on weekends, leaving the kids with my wife in the morning. My dumbass logic was "oh, I'm the sole earner [my son has autism, so it's hard to have 2 working parents in this situation], I need to make sure my income stays high enough to support all of us so my wife doesn't have to work, oh, the project is such a good cause that it's worth it." That's a load of crap, she was still doing more overall labour with this idiotic setup...and after previously burning her out too! I now force myself awake on weekends, inject sleep into during-the-day downtime like long builds, increase work efficiency using automation (I could've been working more efficiently, seriously), and eliminated most "time off to recharge" (lmao).
  • But why the fuck did I have to figure this out instead of just doing it in the first place? Like, I ever thought this was OK? It doesn't fucking absolve it. It's an embarrassment to everyone, and an embarrassment to the family.
• 1. On the topic of automation: I secretly fucking suck at my job. I compensate for it (and people think I'm awesome at my job because they don't know) using extensive automation...but I only have to do this because I'm so inherently incompetent that it's the only way to function. And I've pointed this out to non-colleagues (but not colleagues, since hurting my income would be a disaster for the family), and they seem to think the fact that I recognized this and automated things makes me good at my job. Bullshit. It means I inherently suck and live a lie by hiding it well. I reject this argument.
  • It's great when other people automate of course, since it means they're trying to be better - it doesn't stem from incompetence. But in my case, I know full well it's just a cover-up for incompetence.
• 1. I act entitled to everyone in the house's food, creating piles of work for my wife. I've gradually reduced the areas I consider "public food" to not produce mountains of work, but I STILL manage to fuck this up in any area where I don't forcibly establish precise rules for myself. And worse, initially I acted like if the food is in the house, it's mine, because I'm the one earning the money...y'know, as if domestic labour isn't labour. That's fucking financial abuse and totally degrading to stay-at-home parents everywhere.
  • Like, seriously, why the fuck did I have to learn to respect other people's personal space? Like, OK, again, doing the bare fucking minimum and thinking that makes it OK. Like, if I were a decent person I wouldn't have had to figure this out, it would've been fucking obvious.
    • I do get why some other people have this problem - it's generally their environment teaching them to be this way, and they don't know it. But I'm aware of this and always have been and still did it anyway (and still have some habits downstream of this), so that's no excuse whatsoever on my end.
• 1. I used to lose my temper with my kids. I've managed to learn not to do this, but like...that doesn't mean I didn't do it, and it doesn't mean the tendency isn't there. This is - again - the bare fucking minimum, I shouldn't have to learn how to not do this. Other people figure this out out of the gate.
  • And FTR I'm not going to judge other parents who have this problem, because you don't know what's going on in people's lives - there's always a reason. But in my case, I know what's going on, and I have absolutely no fucking excuse. I know what I'm like, so I know the reason is that I fucking suck.
• 1. I used to make sexist and racist jokes and thought this was hilarious. My idiot logic was "lMaO iF eVeRyOnE mOcKs EvErYoNe...THAT'S EQUALITY!!!!1! LOLOLOLOL." Again, learned why this is the far opposite of true, but like...why the fuck did I have to learn such basic fucking decency? Only a garbage person has to do this.
  • And in this case, yes, other people who do this are garbage too. I do applaud other people who changed, because you never know the reason they learned to be that way, but in my case, I know there's no fucking excuse. And I used to be a fascist in my late teens (not anymore...I'm now a leftist, but seriously, why would an ex-fascist be trustworthy? The tendency was there. And FTR none of my other statements here have any relationship to that - this is just more "undoing" behaviour on my part), so it's obvious where it stemmed from.
• 1. I try to compensate for my inherent shittiness with excessive kindness, acts of service, and solely taking on jobs that benefit humanity, such as in public health and climate change mitigation research. Like, how lovely, an obnoxious virtue signaller with no actual virtue who makes other people feel like shit. Like, I can't stop doing it because I feel bad for other people's situations and worry about the future of humanity, but at the end of the day I'm just trying to make myself feel better. This is the bare fucking minimum.
  • I do applaud it when other people do it of course, and it should be encouraged. But it sure AF isn't altruism when I do it, it's just some sort of obnoxious inability to not meddle like everything is my fucking business. And yes, it's usually appreciated. But it still stems from a place of being a total piece of shit. It's not like just "undoing" other crappy behaviour makes the crappy behaviour OK, it's just a way to try to convince myself I'm not a garbage person, which means it's not actual kindness at all - it's self-serving self-righteousness that I extensively cover up behaviourally with modesty. AND AGAIN, IT'S THE BARE FUCKING MINIMUM, and I should just inherently do kind things instead of have shit-ass behaviours I try to "undo" with it.
• 1. In hyper-inflated egotistical moments where I don't feel crappy (as is fair), I think "oh, I'm doing more decent things than most people, therefore it's OK." Lmao what I shit argument. So if everyone around you murders 100s of people, and you only murder dozens you're somehow a good person? And I'm not saying anyone else is bad, because people are products of their environment and circumstances. But I know my own environment and circumstances, and know they're no fucking excuse in my case.
• 1. I used to never ask if people are OK when they got hurt in mild ways. I learned to do it, but WTF, how the fuck was it not fucking obvious to me that that's BASIC FUCKING DECENCY? This is just the memorized behaviour of a piece of shit who acts out empathy so hard they convince themselves they actually feel it.
• 1. I was severely bullied in EIGHT TOTALLY SEPARATE ENVIRONMENTS, with no connection to each other. Bullied in one? You're a victim. Bullied in two? You're unlucky. Three? Very unlucky. But bullied in EIGHT, one after another, with even teachers and admins unable to stop themselves from getting in on it? That doesn't happen to someone who doesn't deserve to hate themselves. You wouldn't be told you should over and over in one scenario after another, for years, by completely disconnected people, almost totally across-the-board if it wasn't true. 50 million Elvis fans can't be wrong. There'd have been breaks in it. There'd have been exceptions. I wouldn't have been repeatedly expelled. I wouldn't have been the consistent black sheep if it weren't rooted in truth. And looking at my past behaviour, I completely understand the reasoning.
  • I was so impossible to tolerate that I was eventually tossed out of 3 separate public school systems, until the only option left was a private school that could only tolerate my shit-ass self by circumventing laws about physical punishment. It was fairly brutal (e.g. being forced to run around a track until you vomit), but I seriously don't blame them. I received it way more than anyone else there, so it's very clear why I was the target (if they inherently meant harm, they'd have done it to everyone. Plus it was a different time). It gave them a way to tolerate me - I'd probably be homeless or something today otherwise (which I really do deserve, but that'd suck resources away from other homeless people, who really do deserve homes).
    • I'm not advocating physical punishment of course. Other kids don't deserve this. But I mean, can you really blame a place for it when dealing with someone who was such a piece of shit they couldn't be tolerated in SEVEN PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTS? (the eighth was that school). I've literally never heard of any other kid with that. It's clear someone like that is creating their own environment.
  • And again with the "learning" theme - it only ended (high school) because I memorized ways you're supposed to act, thus deeply burying my inherent true self (who still deserves everything he got - it'll always be who I am).

At the end of the day it boils down to the fact that I had to forcibly "learn" not to be a complete piece of shit in EVERY. SINGLE. AREA. A decent person would not have to do this. They'd at least have had some areas where they didn't fucking suck out of the gate. They wouldn't have been deeply hated in every single environment until they forcibly started performing the motions of basic fucking decency.
And regardless, I still did it in the past, and still created piles of consequences for other people which many still deal with today. In some cases it's absurdly serious - like my Mom still has mental and neurological health problems downstream of dealing with me as a kid (although she doesn't admit it), including LITERALLY HAVING STRESS-INDUCED MS AND LOSING PART OF HER VISION (she blames other things, but I've pieced the reason together - it's impossible to hide).
And I'm not looking for reassurance here, so DO NOT provide it, I WILL ignore it. I'm just shouting into the wind. Western society has become way more socially tolerant and understanding, so nothing kind anyone says to me can ever be trusted, since the impulse is now towards reassurance (which is awesome for humanity, but it leads to the mistaken notion that I deserve support too. 100% false, please don't).
And don't try to pull "you probably have undiagnosed level 1 autism," because 1. most level 1 autistic people didn't cause this level of hell for everyone around them (my son is, so I also see this first-hand); 2. It would've been detected at least once; and 3. I inexplicably seem to be well-liked now, which isn't common with level 1 autistics. And #3 doesn't mean jack-shit. Many secretly just like my wife. Others are just extra-kind people who tolerate my crap (my friends are all odd albeit lovely people). Still others are fooled by the constant acts of false kindness, memorized social skills, weird sense of humour (mostly just memorized social skills mixed with sharp edges I allow to peek through if I suspect it'll amuse people), and fake "competence." e.g. a friend once told me I'm "both the kindest and most annoying person they know, which makes [me] one of the most likable [to them]." That says it all. The "kindest" part is a lying facade I've convinced myself of to the point of feeling the associated emotions, so that part can be rejected, leaving just "most annoying" - i.e. the actual reality peeking through. **So don't reassure me. I've heard it all from the few people I've told this to (including from a therapist for 10 years), I WILL reject it, because you will be wrong. If any of it were valid, I would not have been told the opposite in eight separate environments, nor would I have destroyed my family's health with my behaviour. There's only one explanation for that.

I’m fairly positive this is a scam, but wanted to see if anyone else has received something like this and what the scam is? Received this message today from a brand new account as of March 2023 (red flag #1. I censored out the names just in case it’s not a scam as to not doxx the guest)…
“Hello there, My name is ***** and I came across your Home. Would like to inquire please about maybe utilizing it for a Boudoir shoot. Would not need more then a few hours tops. Do not plan on staying the night or using services. Just would like to utilize the bedroom and bathroom for a clean shoot. The lovely lady is doing this for me as to build up my portfolio. In turn she will be getting edited pictures from me to do this. My brand is building and its called ****** Photography. Obviously I am the one inquiring and responsible to put the rental in my name for the few hours. So I am kindly inquiring. :)
Thinking this would be either on a Fri, Sat or Sunday.
Thank you for reading. *******”
…thoughts?

For context It is in the city in NYC.
I found a apartment for rent in NYC. Saw the apartment and gave the broker's fees to broker between annual 12-15%. Signed the lease, wired the money to Owner and Broker. Security Deposit + First Month's rent + Broker's fees which ended up being more than $10k.
Now here comes the sketchy part: I met landlord after signing the lease and he told me that I would be currently staying as a guest! Since it is a condo/op so board takes 30-60 days for someone to get approved. So until then I would be staying as a guest, and whenever someone asks you so tell them that you are staying as his guest, but then after 1-2 months board would approve you. And so right now he told me don't contact the in-building super and instead tell him and he will do it for me until I don't get approved through board member, which would take 1-2 months.
Should I be worried anyhow?
Rent is around $3300.
Landlord said he would get it cleaned and now after the lease has been signed, it is not that clean.
Few things are still dirty, I don't want to sound like spoiled but few things are dirty to the point which I don't even want to touch it barehand. I was under the impression that at least in $3,300 he would get it cleaned. Is this common in NYC?
Also it's a studio but all utilities are included. It is in Midtown East near central park.
Should I be worried? or should I stay and ask him to get it cleaned few things.
But on the side note, landlord seems to be very responsive and getting things done. He even gave someone else's number who can contact the in-building super because he is going to be away for few days.
What do I do?

1. What is your experience of post-exertional malaise (PEM)?
2. What are some of your common triggers of PEM?
3. How long does PEM normally last for you?
4. What are some of the ways you manage PEM?

At the moment, I need to go lie down. I'm exhausted. Getting the shingles vaccine two days ago has made me sick and is also my most recent trigger. Most of my triggers are from unexpected circumstances. Like breaking a tooth and needing to go to the dentist, being in the dental chair for about 3 hours, and stressing out while relaxing as best as I could. another example is having an unexpected flood in my home from a broken water pipe. Even with help, I had to overexert myself. Without surprise problems, then my most consistent trigger is just my own overdoing it, like saying fuck it and going to the beach, or a nearby botanical garden and then grocery shopping on my way home. Sometimes, I know I'm overdoing it but I have learned a feel for what Ican get away with. But when I'm living, by choice too close to being triggered and then something unexpected happens, boom. So, when I live less close to my limits, I have more buffer room for the unexpected. So, it's mostly when life causes me to push past my envelope of limitations or I voluntarily push past my limitations that PEM kicks in. PEM normally last very long for me, but depending on the trigger. After going to the dentist it lasted 2 months, the broken water pipe than added another month to my recovery. And of course when I'm in a flare I'm more inclined to be less disciplined too and that feeds the PEM. My best coping mechanism is practicing calm abiding meditation whether in a flare or not, because the calmer I am, regardless of what happens, the less spoons are lost. The challenge for me is in smoothing out the hills and valleys. Okay, that's my answer to the above 4 questions. Anybody want to take a whack at them. This thread is for sharing what works so we can do more of that. and sharing what doesn't work so we can do less of that. Overtime, mastering our PEM avoidance strategies helps us to avoid PEM. That's been my experience. I'm sure without calm abiding practice that the three rapid fire dental appointments and broken water pipe would have been much more triggering of much worse PEM. I believe managing my PEM through behavior modification, such as knowing the limits of my available spoons, and staying within that acceptable range is most important. And that training my mind to relax as much as possible, no matter what is going on, has been my best strategy.
How about you?. Let's learn from each other, eh?.

Using the shop torches at work has gotten rather... painful, owing in part to working with a bunch of monkeys who dont understand that maybe they shouldnt drop-kit acetylene rigs across the shop, or even how to use the tools. Somehow it was decided to run # 4tips on every torch with no other options, despite the fact that 99% of what we cut is 1/2" or less, mostly 1/4". Shockingly, not a lot of clean cuts and we go through bottles way quicker than youd think
So im looking into getting my own personal torch that might stay functional for longer than 3 seconds at a time. Originally i was thinking of having an old Airco torch i have rebuilt, but someone on another forum talked me out of that by letting me know that a supplier local to me participated in Victors trade-in program. Stopped in, talked to the guys there, and narrowed my options down to a ST1000FC for $180 with the trade, or a 315FC body with a cutting head for $120. Ive been leaning towards the ST1000, since id only be using it for cutting and i like the ergonomics of the lever on the underside more, but i cant shake the feeling that the 315fc might be better since i could swap out cutting heads as the job demands, or in the event of damage
Anybody care to break my deadlock here? Bit more background on use, this would be for general fabrication cutting up to bout 1 1/2" thick. Ive got no intention of ever gas welding with this, so thats not a concern. Heating is a possibility, but i can always get nozzle adaptors for the ST1000 to run rosebuds, not really a victory in either direction on that. I dont mind the price difference if it gets me a good tool, but im still new enough to not know what i dont know in order to make up my mind

TOP Best Baby Bath Tub

Bathing your baby is an essential part of their daily routine, and it can be a fun bonding experience between you and your little one. However, choosing the right baby bathtub can be overwhelming with so many options on the market. This article will explore the best baby bathtubs to help make bath time safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for you and your baby.

following 8 best baby bath tub.

1. Fisher-Price 4-in-1 Sling 'n Seat Tub

The Fisher-Price 4-in-1 Sling 'n Seat Tub is a versatile option that can be used from infancy through toddlerhood. It features a comfortable mesh sling that cradles your newborn and keeps them secure during bath time.
[caption id="attachment_72" align="aligncenter" width="300"]📷 Best Baby Bath Tub[/caption]
As your baby grows, you can remove the sling and use the tub's backrest and non-slip surface to keep them safe and secure. The tub also includes a built-in hook for easy storage and drying.
However, as the tub is more significant than most, drying and storage will take up space.

2. Boon Soak 3-Stage Bathtub

The Boon Soak 3-Stage Bathtub is designed to grow with your baby, offering three support stages. The first stage is a mesh sling that cradles your newborn, the second stage features a reclining position for infants, and the third stage offers a seated position for toddlers. The tub is also compact and easy to store, making it perfect for families with limited space. Not all homes have a traditional bathtub.
[caption id="attachment_75" align="aligncenter" width="300"]📷 Best Baby Bath Tub[/caption]
That’s where this product comes in. It’s a rigid one-piece bathtub, ideal for placing in a shower. Using the base of your battery for a bathtub might have its challenges, as the shower size can restrict your movement. That’s why the contours built into this tub are ideal.
Once your little one can sit unaided, you can switch them so they sit on the other side of the bathtub, so the side provides a backrest.

3. Munchkin Sit and Soak Baby Bath Tub

The Munchkin Sit and Soak Baby Bath Tub is a compact, comfortable option for newborns. The tub's unique design allows your baby to sit upright, which can be helpful for infants who don't like lying down during bath time. The tub also includes a built-in temperature gauge that changes color to indicate whether the water is too hot or cold.
Just make sure you have plenty of air to blow it up or get yourself a pump to avoid the lightheadedness of all that exhaling.
[caption id="attachment_76" align="aligncenter" width="300"]📷 Best Baby Bath Tub[/caption]
The inflatable duck has a textured, non-slip surface. This will help stop your little one from testing your powers of grip.
This tub will also last a long time, as it is suitable for children up to two years old. But it doesn’t need to end there. You could use it for water play in the backyard when the weather is good. Some clever people have even filled it with ice and used it as a beverage cooler after the kids have outgrown it — how innovative is that?
There’s a drain plug for easy emptying and a suction pad for hanging it to dry.

4. Primo Euro Bath

The Primo Euro Bath is a spacious and versatile option that can be used from birth up to 24 months. Its unique shape and design provide plenty of room for your baby to splash and play, and its non-slip surface helps keep your little one safe during bath time.

and the mesh sling cradles your newborn to keep them secure during bath time. The tub also includes a built-in temperature gauge and a drain plug for easy cleanup.

6. Skip Hop Moby Smart Sling

The Skip Hop Moby Smart Sling 3-Stage Tub is a stylish and functional option that can be used from birth to toddlerhood.

The tub also includes a non-slip surface and a built-in drain plug for easy cleanup. Sling-style tubs are excellent for newborns.
[caption id="attachment_78" align="aligncenter" width="300"]📷 Best Baby Bath Tub[/caption]
They look the same as many baby bathtubs but have a specially designed hammock to hold your baby during their bath—the cushioned mesh sling in this offering from Skip Hop clips onto four points of the tub.
Once your baby is about three or four months old, you can detach two hooks to convert the sling into a seat. This means more fun for your baby, but maybe more mess for you, as this tub won’t fit in most sinks.

7. Blooming Bath Lotus

The Blooming Bath Lotus is a unique and comfortable option for newborns. Its soft, plush petals provide a cozy and comfortable place for your baby to rest during bath time, and its compact design makes it easy to store. The Blooming Bath Lotus also fits in most sinks, making it an excellent option for families who need more space for a traditional baby bathtub—looking for comfort for your baby and versatility for sink bathing?
[caption id="attachment_79" align="aligncenter" width="300"]📷 Best Baby Bath Tub[/caption]
The Lotus tub has them both. It has four overlapping petals to form a comfortable, contoured base for your baby.
And fussy babies love being surrounded by moveable petals.
Moms find it easy to use too. The soft outer fabric is foam-filled, making it supportive and cozy.

8. Summer Infant Comfort Height Bath Tub

The Summer Infant Comfort Height Bath Tub is a versatile option that can be used from birth to toddlerhood.

It is also important to supervise infants during bath time and ensure that the water temperature is safe for their delicate skin. With proper care and attention, a baby bath tub can be a valuable addition to a parent's baby care routine.

Friends computer blue screening a couple times a day due to “PFN_LIST_CORRUPT”, ”MEMORY_MANAGEMENT”
Specs: -intel i5 11400 -2x8gb OLOY Blade 3200mhz ram -rtx 3060 -intel 1200mhz ssd 512gb -Gigabyte b560
Initially I though it would be a RAM issue, so I had him run all the usual tests, and they all came back clean for no hardware issues. Went through it with him and made sure EVERY driver is up to date; still bsod’s. I had him run it in safe mode for a day while I was checking some recourses online, and itdidn’t crash which I’d assume means it’s not a hardware issue. I checked his minidump files, and the bug code was for “virtual memory” “1 bit”. This is about where my knowledge of pcs thins, so I looked up some fixes. The only options we hadn’t tried require outside update downloads for his ssd, and some extensive scans in BIOS that aren’t actually a fix. I’m not comfortable doing these for him as they said it could cause issues if done incorrectly. Is there anything I could be missing, before we try these options?

want to order daphnia but only see a 250 daphnia option as the lowest they will sell for. I was wondering will it be a lot to throw my tank or will my fish eat them fast? I have a 60g community tank, 3 angel fish,11 chili rasboras, 7 gobys ( 5 bumblebee gobys & 2 sicyopus goby ), 5 otos and 1 puffer, 1 hill stream loach & 1 guppy.

my (24F) boyfriend (30M) has a severe injury and I have been thinking about leaving him...
my boyfriend has a chronic disc injury which prevents him from doing almost anything at this point but at the beginning of our relationship, he was able to work, go out, and we could have sex. we get along really well, and we are in tune with almost everything.
but 2 months into the relationship, he was reinjured and it's progressively gotten worse to the point I am his full time carer. I cook, clean, I feed him when he's particularly weak, I support him. don't get me wrong I absolutely love him and care for him so I am happy to help him I'm his time of need but he was told recently that rehab will take around 1.5-2 years. I don't know if I can do this for another 2 yrs. he has become increasingly less patient and angers quickly when he struggles with pain or an incident happens which sets his back pain off. i take the comments he makes to heart (which are usually an insult or two amd him questioning the way I've cared for him).
he runs his business on the side for our income because I can't work due to having to help him dress and undress, go to the toilet etc. throughout the day. we had to move in with his parents in another state to help with the financial burden. he has reassured me that he will make money to support us (since for the last 1.5 yrs it's mainly been me working full time).
for the last month or so I've beginning to think about what life would be life if I was single and could have freedom in what I do. I've thought about moving in with my brothers who I haven't seen in over 6 months and going out with friends. I have even questioned if I even want to get married at all just so I could have complete freedom. i feel extremely guilty just at the thought of it, because I love him and I do want to help him get better. but I am so worn out, I am so tired and have my own health issues I haven't been able to address. I don't know what I would regret more, not living life how I want or leaving the person I care about?

I’m not sure if this is an appropriate topic for this sub, but as someone on a fitness journey who is thinking of adding a baby to the mix in the near future, I’m curious what the days of those with young ones looks like? I already find myself with so little spare time and am concerned that I’d either not give my kid as much attention as I’d like, or I’d majorly be sacrificing my own self. Obviously, I understand there is some level of self sacrifice with children, but how do you squeeze in your workouts and what does that look like for you?
Right now, I do two lower body/core days, 2 upper body days, 1 day of yoga/core. On top of that, I walk 15-17k steps per day (6.5-7.5 miles). I also wfh full time and do the majority of the cooking/cleaning. My days feel jam packed as I’m typing this while finally getting ready for bed at nearly 1am.
Walking is pretty spread out for me. I walk my dog 1.25 miles in the morning and after dinner. I do a 3 mile block right after work on my own. The rest is either from cleaning and/or general movement throughout the day. I’m hoping once I get to maintenance, I’d only have to aim for 10k steps, but keep working on strength training.
Thanks in advance for any insight!

Hi everyone,
I found a forgotten lot of games at my parents house when I went to visit. I thought I had sold all my games and systems in the past, but I was very wrong. Previously I sold my N64, NES, etc. games on eBay, but all the best ones were literally bought by Lukie Games. I'd rather list here than sell it to resellers.
Since I’ve got no confirmed transactions here, I’d be happy to do PayPal G&S to build community confidence. I’d eventually prefer to move away from it to other methods like F&F, Venmo etc. once it's felt I'm more established.
Nearly all of the games are in excellent condition and many come CIB. A number of the loose games (Game Boy) also have instruction manuals that are in excellent condition, which are noted in the table below. Most of the items should have pics in the links below, please let me know if I'm missing anything (Warning, photo dumps!):

I'm very happy to take more pictures for anyone who would like; please let me know whatever you need and I'll be glad to provide. I have twin 10mo old girls and one of them requires extra special attention, so I may need more time than the average person to get you them :) Apologies in advance!

Hi all,
I am told my AC unit has 2 drain lines, pic here: https://imgur.com/a/q1HUrZw
Told me that one on the left is the primary and the one on the right is the secondary.

1. When AC is on, air blows out of both pvc lines. Is that normal?
2. When AC is on, it smells somewhat bad a bit like vinegar. The air coming out of the pvc lines smells the same. If I want to clean out the drain lines, should I just pour watebleach in both left and right pvc drain lines?
3. I looked at the evaporator coils and they look clean. Don't think the smell is due to the evaporator coils, but is it still worth it to clean them?

Appreciate any help, thanks!

I’m in Florida, I have a felony for dealing in stolen property. My offense is from March 2018 but conviction/sentencing wasn’t until Oct. 2021 due to Covid pushing back court dates and my public defender trying to get me a plea deal.
I’m on probation until Oct. 2024. After Hurricane Ian hit I lost my home and job and had to move to a town in the middle of no where because it’s the only rental I could find that would approve me with a felony and my fiance was offered a construction job here.
I can not find anywhere here that will hire me. Got hired at dollar general, then got an adverse letter, went through interviews at places and was sure I’d get hired then didn’t because of my background.
Does anyone have advice? Im looking at work from home jobs now and most won’t hire me because of this. Im getting so depressed and hate relying on my fiance to provide everything financially for us and our daughter. I made a mistake 4 1/2 yrs ago when I was an addict. I’ve been clean and sober since 2018 and just want to help provide for my family.

Sup!
Im looking to buy a used Marin Hawk Hill fully and would like to hear some advice on the bike and deal.
It’s priced at 900€ asking price and apparently in good condition with a big service done recently.
This is my first fully so I’m not too knowledgeable, I mainly want to hit local trails with it as I have my gravel bike for everything else.
It’s a size M with me being 1,80m in height.

Happy for any thoughts, thanks in advance!

A little messy as the placements are random, except if their state was shown 3 times so bear with me. I'm gonna give some fun facts about the semifinalist bc they aren't as well known.
every antm contestant and semifinalist (1 - 19)
cycle 1: Christina from Little Falls, Minnesota Heather from Galloway, Ohio Ebony M. from Cumberland, Maryland Nicole C. from Chapel Hills, North Carolina Lenora from Greenwich Village, New York Elyse from Albuquerque, New Mexico Shannon from Franklin, Ohio Jakai from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Robin from Memphis, Tennessee Jessica from Tucson, Arizona Noelle from Reno, Nevada Kesse from North Little Rock, Arkansas Toiya from Atlanta, Georgia Ebony H. from The Bronx, New York Katie from Glenview, Illinois Tessa from Chicago, Illinois Adrienne from Joliet, Illinois Giselle from Corona, California Nicole P. from Murrieta, California Erin from Pasadena, California Natalie from Riverside, California April from San Diego, California Shawna from Los Angeles, California Justine from Huntington Beach, California Corey (unknown)
Corey, Toiya, and Jessica were semi-finalist that weren't shown to make it seem like there was 20 girls. There might have been more based on the bulletin board they used but it's hard to tell.
cycle 2: Camille from Mamaroneck, New York Anna from LaGrange, Georgia Mercedes from Valencia, California Nargis from Mohegan Lake, New York Sara from Seattle, Washington April from Miami Beach, Florida Shandi from Kansas City, Missouri Bethany from Houston, Texas Xiomara from Morganville, New Jersey Jenascia from Burien, Washington Heather from Moreno Valley, California Yoanna from Jacksonville, Florida Catie from Willmar, Minnesota Rebecca from Minneapolis, Minnesota Christina from Little Falls, Minnesota

Sarah (Martin Luther King according to Tiffany) from Capistrano was suppose to make top 20, but due to unknown reasons couldn't continue. Amanda joined the top 20 after Sarah left. The "I don't know, I can't take the pressure of it!" girl is Natalie from Walla Walla.
cycle 4: Mary from Portland, Oregon Tatiana from Maui, Hawaii Lindsey from Baton Rouge, Louisiana Estela from The Bronx, New York Lacy from Las Vegas, Nevada Michelle from Terre Haute, Indiana Kahlen from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma Jessika from Houston, Texas Alexandria from Ft Collins, Colorado Lacey from Atlanta, Georgia Noelle from Reno, Nevada Brandy from Houston, Texas Leslie from New York, New York Naima from Detroit, Michigan Sarah from Baltimore, Maryland Rebecca from Minneapolis, Minnesota Tiffany from Miami, Florida Christina from Tallahassee, Florida Brittany from Tallahassee, Florida Rachel from Tampa, Florida Melissa from Tampa, Florida Mollie-Sue from Tampa, Florida Brita from La Cañada Flintridge, California Jennifer from Richmond, California Lluvy from Modesto, California Alexia from Studio City, California Keenyah from Compton, California Jen from Santa Monica, California Ebony (unknown)

There was actually Brittany's this cycle. The 4th Brittany is Brittany Hall! She's a NYC Model that has beautiful dark skin and long, wavy hair.
cycle 12: Adiamond from Denver, Colorado Kathryn from Farmland, Indiana Teyona from Woodstown, New Jersey Sandra from Rockville, Maryland Anna Lisa from Scottsdale, Arizona Aminat from Union, New Jersey Fo from Albuquerque, New Mexico Tahlia from Phoenix, Arizona Monique from Telluride, Colorado Kortnie from Houston, Texas Angelea from Buffalo, New York London from Arlington, Texas Celia from Cynthiana, Kentucky Allison from New Orleans, Louisiana Asha from Atlanta, Georgia Bianca from Albuquerque, New Mexico Jessica from Bradenton, Florida Isabella from Barboursville, Virginia Alex from Tampa, Florida Nijah from Rancho Cucamonga, California Tatiana from Lakewood, California Natalie from Palos Verdes, California Lauren (unknown) Kelly (unknown)
London and Isabella's real names are Lauren and Kelly. They went by nicknames because there was another pair named Lauren and Kelly, and they just kept the nicknames.

A power ranger auditioned for the role. She's one of the more well-known semifinalist, but Ciara was a power ranger in the late 2000s - early 2010s.
cycle 14: Hallie from Memphis, Tennessee Krista from Pine Bluff, Arkansas Rogi from Washington D.C Naduah from San Diego, California Jessica from Conway, Arkansas Anslee from Dracula, Georgia Ravyn from Washington D.C Tatianna from Ewa Beach, Hawaii Jeanna from Chicago, Illinois Raina from Minnetonka, Minnesota Anastasia from Chicago, Illinois Danielle from Greenville, South Carolina Justine from Syracuse, New York Alasia from Marietta, Georgia Gabrielle from St. Louis, Missouri Martha from Charlotte, Tennessee Angelea from Buffalo, New York Brittany from College Park, Maryland Simone from Lenexa, Kansas Honor from Santa Monica, California Jessie from Warren, Michigan Nida from East Bernard, Texas Julianna from Austin, Texas Alexandra from Kerrville, Texas Aimee from Houston, Texas Madelynne from Houston, Texas Tuesday from Houston, Texas Ren from Dallas, Texas Brenda from Houston, Texas
Texas was done dirty this season. Many of the semi finalist (Tuesday, Madelynne, Aimee, Julianna and Nida) are all from Texas (Brittany also lived there for a while) and for some reason, Ren was casted? The reason why is because they wanted someone to create drama and all the top 20 remaining girls were nice (except one) so they brought Ren.
Hallie was a top 20 girl, and she was bratty and spoiled. So why wasn't she casted? Both her and production found out that she was pregnant so she couldn't continue.
cycle 15: Tyrie from Indianapolis, Indiana Justine from Indianapolis, Indiana De'Yana from Detroit, Michigan Chelsey from Boise, Idaho Jane from Baltimore, Maryland Jessica from Willow Grove, Pennsylvania Esther from Boston, Massachusetts Lauren from Brettwood, Tennessee Vanessa/Violet from Lakeville, Minnesota Emily C. from Ona, West Virginia Toya from Beaufort, South Carolina Christina from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Kendal from Northport, Alabama Emily H. from Barboursville, West Virginia Terra from Arlington, Texas Anna from Dallas, Texas Lyzbeth/Liz from Arlington, Texas Christin/Chris from Arlington, Texas Laura from New York, New York Anamaria from Queens, New York Sara from Tarrytown, New York Alexia/Lexie from Geneva, Illinois Nitasha from Chicago, Illinois Jillian from Chicago, Illinois Kayla from Rockford, Illinois Jordan from Chicago, Illinois Kacey from Palmdale, California Emi from Pismo Beach, California Rylee from Orange County, California Sara B. from Menifee, California Shelby from Beverly Hills, California Rhianna from San Diego, California Mindy from Murrieta, California Anna (unknown) Jen (unknown)
Jen is an unknown Asian girl who just randomly slipped away from production and ran away during auditions.
cycle 16: Laree from Atlanta, Georgia Breanna from Blaine, Minnesota Elizabeth from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Molly from Olathe, Kansas Annabelle from Manhattan, New York Sierra from Park City, Utah Kari from Steamboat Springs, Colorado Taneisha from Anniston, Alabama Brittani from Beech Creek, Pennsylvania Tiffany from Hattiesburg, Mississippi Molly O. from Charleston, South Carolina Ondrei from Muskegon, Michigan Kasia from Wheaton, Illinois Yashure from East Saint Louis, Illinois Monique from Hebron, Illinois Alexandria from Huntington Beach, California Dalya from Corona, California Vee from Sacramento, California Dominique from Houston, Texas Jaclyn from Belton, Texas Rune from Edinburg, Texas Hannah from Houston, Texas Mikaela from Boca Raton, Florida Deidrian from Lauderdale Lakes, Florida Nicole from Orlando, Florida Angelia from Pembroke Pines, Florida the unnamed stripper from Mobile, Alabama
The fake out girls were not actresses, they were real people. This is more well known now but maybe you didn't know.
cycle 17: Seymone from Augusta, Georgia Allison from Houston, Texas Isis from Prince George's County, Maryland Mariah from Pendleton, Oregon Kyle from Magnolia, Texas Laura K. from Stanford, Kentucky Eboni from Seattle, Washington Kayla from Rockford, Illinois Dominique from Columbus, Ohio Molly from Olathe, Kansas Shannon from Franklin, Ohio AzMarie from San Fernando Valley, California Alexandria from Newport Beach, California Lisa from Los Angeles, California Angelea from Buffalo, New York Laura L. from Scotia, New York Sheena from Harlem, New York Candace from Brooklyn, New York Bre from Harlem, New York Camille from The Bronx, New York Bianca from Queens, New York
Before season 17 was an Allstars season, it was just a regular season. Some of the 32 girls included Candace, Laura L, AzMarie, Eboni, Kyle, Mariah, Seymone and Molly (a season 16 fake-out girl). Production changed it last minute and everyone last minute accept Molly went on cycle 18. This was confirmed by Molly and AzMarie
cycle 18: Amelia from Port Talbot, Wales Laura from Scotia, New York Eboni from Seattle, Washington Candace from Brooklyn, New York Mariah from Pendleton, Oregon Kyle from Magnolia, Texas AzMarie from San Fernando Valley, California Seymone from Augusta, Georgia Ashley from Armadale, Scotland Alisha from South London, England Jasmia from London, England Sophie from Oxford, England Catherine from Folkestone, England Louise from London, England Annaliese from London, England
There was another American girl that was a semifinalist on cycle 17 and moved to 18. She dropped out, however, before production started. They had to cut a UK girl out to make it more equal and that was Amelia.
cycle 19: Latrishe from Washington D.C Ivory from Whittier, California Nastasia from East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania Jamie from Gahanna, Ohio Lauren from Ann Arbor, Michigan Deedra from from Portland, Oregon Jessie from Speedway, Indiana Victoriana from San Diego, California Brittany from Gilbert, Arizona Savanna from East Lansing, Michigan Kiara from Las Vegas, Nevada Allyssa from Fort Lauderdale, Florida Kaci from Moon Township, Pennsylvania Christin from Cook County, Illinois Destiny from Columbus, Ohio Yvonne from Minneapolis, Minnesota Kristin from Jacksonville, Florida Leila from Farmington, Massachusetts Sara from Seattle, Washington Maria from Las Cruces, New Mexico Victoria from Colquitt, Georgia Darian from Baton Rouge, Louisiana Laura from Cambridge, New York Caroline from Awendaw, South Carolina Amber from Sachse, Texas Jasmine from Fort Worth, Texas Briana from Southlake, Texas Andie from San Antonio, Texas Sasha from Dallas, Texas Delaney from Dallas, Texas
These are the hometowns of all the college girls instead of their college cities. Like season 14, Texas was done dirty.

This is the second time visiting Japan with my boyfriend and our main goals were to eat good food and ski at Hakuba Valley. We saw cherry blossoms, experienced Japanese onsen, and traveled a lot with our JR rail pass!
Day 1 Tokyo:

• Arrived at Narita in the afternoon
• Omotesando (shopping, ramen at Oreryu Shio Ramen Jingu-mae; order from the vending machine, it’s cheap and fast)
• Shibuya (conveyer belt sushi at Gansozushi, we only went there because the other sushi place we wanted to go to - Sushi No Midori - wasn’t taking any more people. We were super tired and just wanted something quick)
• We stayed in Kyobashi near Tokyo Station. The area feels upscale, quiet, clean and safe. It’s not crowded and has very wide streets (easy for wheeling luggages from the station to your hotel), and is centrally located. Not much nightlife.

Day 2 Tokyo to Hakuba Valley:

• Breakfast at Tsukiji Market. Even at 7am most places have a short wait. We ate A5 Wagyu, sushi at Tsukiji Itadori Bekkan, and got taiyaki at Tsukiji Sanokiya. Also bought some small bowls and sake cups from Ichifuji
• Shiba Park. Didn’t get much time here since we were rushing to catch our train, but we saw Tokyo Tower and some cherry blossom trees in front of Zojo-ji
• Train from Tokyo Station to Nagano and bus to Hakuba Valley. We’re glad we budgeted a lot of extra time at Tokyo Station because we were pretty lost. You don’t really need to be at the platform super early (boarding time is just a few minutes before departure)
• At Nagano station we got soba noodles while waiting for our bus to Hakuba. Seems like a lot of locals were eating there too.
• Dinner in Hakuba at NEO＂和＂食堂 一成. The tonaktsu here is delicious, and we tried duck sukiyaki. The restaurant only has like 3-4 tables so get here early if you don’t have a reservation.

Day 3 Hakuba Valley:

• Ski day at Iwatake. Not much snow coverage, but we still had fun. It has a lot of beginner and easier intermediate terrain with pretty good views (hard/expert terrain were closed due to lack of snow.) It was cloudy all morning but around noon it cleared up and we had amazing views of Hakuba valley.
• The City Bakery is worth a visit even if you don’t ski at Iwatake. It’s a beautiful wooden viewing platform and attached cafe with coffee and pastries.
• Hakuba Happo Onsen. Very clean and relaxing experience. The best part was sitting in the tatami room after the onsen, and drinking some tea from the vending machines.
• Dinner at Yamagami Syokudou NEO. We had grilled pork and beef, ramen, gyoza and potato croquette.

Day 4 Hakuba Valley:

• Ski day at Happo One. It snowed all day so there was a good amount of fresh powder, but also poor visibility. The terrain here is more advanced, especially because it’s not well groomed. The green runs are very narrow cat tracks. We stayed in the section called Panorama Pair. Lower half of the mountain was mostly closed.
• Stayed at Hakuba Hifumi. We used the onsen, relaxed in our room, then had dinner in the hotel (shabu shabu.) Staying here was one of the major highlights of our whole trip. If you can find a room here I’d highly recommend it! (http://www.hakubahifumi.jp/en/)

Day 5 Hakuba to Osaka:

• Long travel day. Bus from Hakuba > Nagano, train from Nagano > Kanazawa, then Kanazawa > Osaka, around 6 hours total travel time. We sat on the left side for Nagano > Kanazawa and got amazing views of snow mountains. Watched anime, took a nap, ate ekiben.
• Namba Walk, had ice cream and matcha tiramisu at Maccha house
• Kuromon Market and Dotonbori. Didn’t enjoy it much our second time round. The food we had was mediocre (maybe we’re just unlucky). The line for takoyaki was super long, and the takoyaki was very undercooked and runny.
• Umeda Sky Building. Nice experience overall, especially watching the trains go across the river. Luckily we were able to just go up without any lines.
• We stayed in Shin Osaka station area. It’s much quieter than Osaka station but still pretty convenient.

Day 6 Osaka:

• Breakfast at Dashichazuke En.
• Osaka Castle Park. There were a few cherry blossom trees blooming. Recommend walking to the Japanese Garden on the south west corner of the castle.
• Lunch at Sachifukuya (in Jo Terrace). The Hokkaido milk soft serve ice cream is really good.
• Gift shopping at Shin Osaka station. Also had conveyer belt sushi at Ganko kaitenzushi.
• Train to Kansai Airport. We arrived about 3 hours before departure. Check-in line took 1 hour. Our gate was in an area that is mostly under construction so there was not much to eat or shop. I recommend doing your souvenir shopping at the big train stations (Shin Osaka or Osaka) instead of the airport.

Some tips for future travelers:

• Don't just buy a 24 hour Tokyo metro ticket. There are two different subway companies, the Tokyo Metro (blue M symbol) and Toei (has a green leaf symbol), and we were not able to use our metro pass on any of the Toei stations. It was still possible to get around but we had to walk further to certain stations. I think there is an option for a combination ticket for both, we just didn’t know at the time.
• If you’re going to or from Tokyo Station, budget an extra 15-20 minutes travel time. You can even spend a whole hour exploring the station's food.
• When booking a hotel in Hakuba, check the free shuttle map so you can use it to get to and from the slopes and bus station. Some hotels will also offer some shuttle services as well (e.g. pickup and drop off at the bus station.)
