So, I have decided that bookshelf speakers is the way to go for my small office. My budget would be $400 max (either powered speakers, or speakers + amp). There are so many options and choices that it makes it hard to choose, especially if factoring open box or refurbished, and even more if considering used.
This is almost exclusively for music, not television, mostly jazz (3-4 piece chill jazz).
I have a few ideas in mind for brand new:

Passive:

- Polk XT15 $149, Polk TSi100 $230, Polk Monitor 40 Series II $200
- Definitive Technology D7 $199
- Jamo S803 $150
- Mission LX-2 MKII $150
- triangle Borea BR02 $200
- Klipsch R-51M $140
- Wharfedale Diamond 220 $250
- Monitor Audio Bronze 50 - $330 Open Box, really stretching the budget
Runner ups:
- Micca RB42 (just not sure about the brand, and 4" woofer),
- Jamo C91II (heard sounds good, but like the look of others better),
-Klipsch R-14M (is 4" too small?),
- Klipsch R-41M (is R-51M just better?),
- JBL Stage A130 (good reviews, look plain)
- Polk Signature Elite ES10 $149 (is 4" too small?)
- Polk Signature Elite ES15 $140 (used but only cosmetic damages)
- Q Acoustics 3010i $235 (is 4" woofer too small, again)
- KEF Q100 $238 (used but only cosmetic damages)
- Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2 $200 (not the best looking)

Active:

- Klipsch R-51PM $299
- Fluance Ai41 $150
- Edifer 1850DB $230
- Triangle LN01A $400
Runner ups:
PreSonus Eris E4.5 (is a studio monitor good for enjoying music?), Jamo S801PM (801 reviews worse than 803), Kanto YU2 (kinda ugly)
And one option for passive floorstanding, because it seems a good deal, although I am not sure they would fit well in my office space: - Polk TSi400 $200/pr
Part of me definitely gravitates towards nice speaker design/asthetics. I am returning my Monitor Audio center channel which I loved the look of but not the sound of, but I can't afford even their entry level bookshelf speakers in my budget. So, I do like the look of the Polk, triangle, Klipsch, Jamo, Mission, Wharfedale, and Definitive Technology speakers the most...probably my favorite being the DT and triangle. Honestly I love the look of these two and ~$200 is within budget, but I am also concerned whether their entry-level speaker is as good as say a mid or high tier speaker from the others.
I just want something that will last me 5+ years that I will be happy with. I am not a huge audiophile, per se, for reference I do think the B&O system in my Audi S3 sounds fantastic. As you can see, I research a LOT, lol.
Thoughts appreciated, thanks!

Salve, sono un ragazzo neopatentato e vorrei comprare la mia prima macchina. Come budget sarei intorno ai 2k(anche meno se possibile), vorrei sapere quale fossero secondo voi le macchine migliori(più comode da guidare, che consumano di meno etc) per quella fascia di prezzo.
Consigliereste di comprare l'auto da un concessionario o da un privato?
Cosa andrebbe controllato prima di comprare una macchina? Io so che la prima cosa che si dovrebbe vedere sono i km(anche se so che soprattutto qui al sud li scalano, ci sono modi per sapere se una macchina hai km scalati?) ma non conosco molto altro.
Grazie mille

Today, I rode the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail from Hopkins to Carver. This was the first time I rode River Bluffs end-to-end. It's a nice trail with beautiful scenery. I'll probably do it again this season, possibly as an out-and-back.
I measured just under 18 miles for the River Bluffs section. (I also rode from home to the trailhead in Hopkins, mostly on the Lake Minnetonka LRT. Perfect day for a long ride!).
Generally, the surface is gravel in Hennepin County and asphalt in Carver County. Trail conditions are excellent except for the paved paths going through Chaska. That section is bumpy but bearable.
The detour in Hopkins for the Southwest light rail construction is marked well, and you never have to ride in traffic unless you want to. It will be nice when they're done there, but it wasn't really much of an inconvenience.
Favorite part: the bridge across Great Plains Blvd (and for about .5 mile east of there) where there are expansive views across the Minnesota River Valley. This includes the area that was repaired after the 2014 slope failure. Very lovely - I'm glad they did that repair!
Riders beware: the section going through Chaska is not marked, and it's not exactly intuitive. The path leaves the old rail bed in that area and weaves along atop the levees. It was fun to see the river and the extensive flood control structures, but also it's totally possible to make a wrong turn. Or 2 or 3 wrong turns. Lol. If you're not familiar with that section, use a map! I'll attach a pic of the map at the Carver trailhead. https://imgur.com/a/eJa5QQC

Ciao a tutti! Ho intenzione di fare il cammino primitivo in 10/11 giorni, invece dei classici 13..c'è qualcuno nell community che lo ha già fatto in 10/11 giorni? Se si, consigli su come dividere il cammino? Grazie mille!

What's up Knifeswap Gang!
Got a price drop and a few other blades looking for new homes. Timestamp
Trade Interest: Spyderco Reinhold Rhino 🦏
Vintage Dalton Scale Release Auto CLONE
Brand new but no box, just fired a bunch. This is a clone of Dalton’s Scale Release Autos. The scales are aluminum and blade is 440. This thing fires extremely hard so make sure you’re holding on to it tightly before actuating. Over 20 years old. Would be a great figit, collector's piece, or user. SV - $35

Thanks for checking out my post everyone! Let me know if you have questions, offers, or trades.

(Below have SOLD)
Gerber Prybrid w/ Ti Deep Carry Clip SOLD
I’ve carried this once to test the pocket clip and haven’t carried it since. Basically brand new with the added Ti deep carry clip. I got the clip and hardware setup on Etsy. I'm also throwing in a couple spare razor blade forks! SV - $25
Toor Merchant 2.0 SOLD
Carried, used, sharpend, and no box. I’ve tuned the pivot so it has no blade play. This Merchant has no lock rock and no lock stick while maintaining excellent action on washers. I also sharpened it on the KME, only reprofiling 1 degree less than the factory bevel. There’s some wear on the scales and under the pocket clip. This beauty flips great. It is not drop shut, but it shakes shut pretty easily though. I’d say the action feels hydraulic when slow rolling. A phenomenal knife with my only gripe being it should’ve came stock with a milled Ti clip. If you want to get an idea of what a quality USA made Ti framelock feels like without blowing on a CRK, this is it. These retail for quite a bit, but I’m selling this one for only SV - $130
Rick Lala Custom Safadage Razor SOLD
New from the maker. Comes with a nylon velcro case. Features a stonewashed and chisel ground blade with a fuller. The handle has an outstanding orange peel finished titanium frame with matching backspacer and titanium tip up clip. This is an extremely unique razor, with IKBS bearings, a backspacer detent, and an extended tang featuring a bottle opener with a bulbed locking mechanism at the end. The mechanism interfaces with the back of the knife and is secure and satisfying to use. Due to those features, this knife is an absolute joy to open and close. Insanely smooth action, with a beautiful ting sound when opening. The edge is ground and finished well, so it’s extraordinarily sharp. Sharpness demonstration by Rick himself. These cost over $500 directly from Rick, take this one for only SV - $235
Spyderco - Military - S30V - Factory Second Frankenstein SOLD
Previous owner cobbled this from a factory second S30V blade and Blurple G10 scales. Not sure why the blade was marked a factory second. Some fine scratches on the blade, a roll on the edge, and wear on the G10 (check pics/video). Used by the previous owner. The rest of the edge is factory sharp. No box. The Military is the best linerlock I’ve handled. It has phenomenal lockup, no play, and a snappy detent. This beast is just a bit big for me. Spyderco's owner, Sal Glesser, designed the Military after someone asked him, "If your son were going into the military what folding knife would you send him with?". Lightweight for its size (4.3oz) with a capable 4” blade. Very balanced and nimble in hand. Would make for an extraordinary user or EDC. **SV - ~~$110 $99**~~
Three Coins Bundle -Brass Frank Herbert Coin & Two Copper Mutiny Metal Coins
These have been carried but are in great condition. SV - FREE w/ any purchase

Fin 22, début 23 a été horrible.
J'ai perdu mes deux chats. Le premier heurté par une voiture. Le deuxième a fait deux tromboses en 6 mois et on a du prendre la décision en urgence au veto. Mon chien mâle a eu une operation en urgence pour une tumeur à la prostate et ma femelle s'est fait enlevé une dizaine de kystes. Elle a du garder la colerette pendant 2 mois et a faillit perdre sa queue. En dehors de ça ils m'en ont beaucoup fait voir entre disputes et bêtises. (J'ai adopté le mâle il y a un an et demi. Tout se Passait bien les premiers mois et puis quelques tensions sont arrivées)
Au boulot c'est la decheance. Le covid nous a fait perdre beaucoup de notre public et a use ceux qui restent. Sur le peu d"employé qui restent plusieurs sont en maladie depression, la comptable est alcoolique et fait des ERREURS monumentales. Le tresorier a fait une rupture d'anévrisme devant nous et on soupçonne notre chef de commencer une demence. On a perdu une partie de nos subsides et donc des emplois. Pendant des mois, j'ai fait semblant de bosser en trainant sur les reseaux car pas de boulot. En même temps j'ai commencé une formation par laquelle je me suis vite sentie depassée et qui m'a pris tout mon temps libre. Je n'ai quasiment pas eu de vie sociale pendant tout ce temps.
Mes crises d'angoisses sont devenues incachables et incontrolables. J'ai developpé des tocs et j'arrache mes cheveux au point que j'ai presque des trous. Je dors, fume et bois sans doute trop. J'étais plus capable de rien à la maison et je remercie Mille fois mon homme d'avoir gérer le ménage et les courses. J'ai décidé de consulter. La psy soupçonne quelque chose de plus profond. Donc en plus de tout je suis en train de passer des tests neuropsy.
J'ai du me faire opérer pour un kyste à l'ovaire énorme et qui pesait fort dans mon ventre. À l'operation, il s'est averé que j'ai de l'endometriose. À noter que ça fait 14 ans que j'ai des problèmes et que aucun médecin ne m'avait écouté. J'avais donc baissé les bras.
Tout cela a évidemment eu aussi un impact sur mes finances.
J'ai vraiment passé quasiment 1 année Sombre. Je ne comprends même pas comment tout cela a pu se passer en si peu de temps. Et pourtant, aujourd'hui j'ai l'impression que ça va aller. Mes chats me manquent. Mes chiens se sont apaisés en même temps que moi. J'ai remarqué que leurs problèmes de comportement arrivaient souvent par ma faute et notamment quand j'avais des crises d'angoisses. Ils sont pour le moment en bonne santé. J'ai bientôt finit ma formation et je vois arriver les congés et une porte de sortie à mon boulot actuel. Je suis contente d'avoir enfin le diagnostique de l'endometriose. Je dois vivre avec mais au moins je suis legitime dans mes difficultés. Je suis également contente d'avoir eu le declic d'aller consulter. Il faut parfois être au plus bas pour enfin agir. Depuis quelques semaines je Revis, j'ai repris du ménage et les courses. Je recommence à aller marcher. Je dors moins. Je dois encore diminuer l alcool et supprimer la cigarette. Mais je suis fière d'être là aujourd'hui, d'être debout.
Désolée pour le pavé

Captain Vohr’Doe was waiting in the hangar as Kahv’Hosh set the shuttle down, a slew of emotions raging inside her, all vying to be the leading sentiment. Though, she - of course - would probably have to lean more towards 'gratitude’, if made to pick a single one. She was more than grateful that her crew were no longer in danger - and yes, that even included him - and that those pirates were no longer a threat to anyone else, either.
And then there was the obvious awe at the humans had weaponized gravity; she had heard the horror stories of what could happen if a gravity plate malfunctioned - she had to have electrical replace the ones in the gym just a few days ago, as Kyle had pushed them up to 15G in his training - but to actually use it as a weapon?...
And, of course, there was an overwhelming amount of anger. Well, maybe not anger, per se; but there wasn’t really a word for the feeling between extreme frustration, and anger. What kept her from completely registering it as anger was her wholehearted belief that he had good intentions for having something so destructive on board her ship. But that only just tempered the vexation she felt at him having smuggled a gravity bomb onto her ship! Not only that, but there were two crates that had been marked as ‘gravity generators’, which she had initially assumed were for his comfort, to put his room - or possibly his campsite - to a more comfortable gravity. But she could see now how very wrong she was.
As the door to the shuttle opened, she watched first Admiral Shane, then Kahv’Hosh exit the craft. Kyle exited after a delay of a few seconds, and after sweeping the hangar with his gaze, he lowered it when it met her’s, looking for all intents like her nephew when he gets caught doing something he shouldn’t, and - not for the first time - an almost motherly feeling came over her. Which wasn’t so far out of the question, seeing as - according to the data provided on them - humans were by far the shortest-lived people in Galactic Records, where the shortest-lived species after them - the rahv’oyeck - averaged around 500 years, give or take a few decades.
Not to mention the fact that - for however short a time, he was a part of her crew, and as such, she instinctively felt protective of him, the fact that - as his captain - she was responsible for him notwithstanding. Plus, he really did seem to be almost ‘childlike’ at times, with a simple - almost naive - attitude towards the goings on around him. Not that he was clueless when it came to interacting with others; as many of the crew had come to find out, apparently.
But it was his obvious contrition that tempered her attitude, so that when they had made their way over to her, it had simmered down to intense irritation. Once they were standing before her, Kyle finally looked up to meet her gaze, and she felt her heart soften further at the expression on his face; not that she would let him know that, of course.
“Would you care to explain yourself, Mr. Redding?” she asked, being sure to keep the edge to her voice; she couldn't be seen as ‘soft’.
“I didn't know that they were sending it,” he began quickly, ”I only found out about it after I got to my equipment room, the first time.”
“Them,” she replied, and at his confused look, continued,
“Them; plural: there were two crates listed under ‘gravity generators’, and they were both the same size. I don't believe that the other one actually contains gravity plates stacked up; not this time.”
Kyle gave a look of understanding, and she believed that he really did momentarily forget about the other one.
“Right,” he said, “Two. Yeah, I didn't know they were gonna send them…”
“And afterward, it never occurred to you to tell me that you had two bombs on board that could make this entire ship - and everyone on board - become one dense atom?!” A little more edge crept into her voice than she would have liked at that moment. It was Admiral Shane, however, who answered; taking a step forward, he cleared his throat.
“Captain, if I may?...” It was the respect - the deference - in his voice that gave her pause, and helped to calm her thoughts a bit. She nodded in affirmation, and he continued,
“What would happen to us - in the immediate sense - if this ship were to lose all power right now; primary, and emergency backup power?”
The question seemed so random, that her mind basically blanked out, and she found herself saying the first thing that came to her mind.
“We would all begin floating, seeing as the artificial gravity would be out, as well.”
“Precisely,” he continued, “And short of directly supplying power to the artificial gravity, how could we get the plates to work?”
She began to understand his point.
“I see where this is going, Admiral, but unless I’m very much mistaken, there were no ports on that box that would accept any power crystals with the required energy to fuel that miniature black hole. Which means that it had power the whole time.”
“That's true,” he said in a mollifying tone, “But the power to the core was disconnected, and needed a code that would cause even an A.I. trouble hacking it, as it's a 300,000-page code, randomly coded in every written language known to humankind. There are even symbols in the code that don't show up on the screen, if someone were to try to hack it manually; an A.I. is needed to even crack the code within a year. And only Kay’Eighty has the codes for those two programmed into her memory.
“So,” he concluded, “While I agree entirely with you that he should have let you know about them, I can give you my word - on behalf of the honor of all humans - that no amount of damage could cause an accidental activation. While I won't say that the other one is harmless, I can assure you that there is no chance of it going off by accident. However, I won’t hesitate to take it off of your ship, if you so desire.”
She took a moment to digest everything that Admiral Shane said, and eventually came to a conclusion.
“No, I’ll allow him to keep it on the ship; I would say that there's likely never going to be a reason that we would need it, but I would have said the same thing this morning, and we can all see how wrong that was.”
“If you like,” Kyle offered, “We could attach it to like, a missile, or something, and Kay’Eighty could give you a data chip with the code for it.”
She thought for a few seconds, then nodded.
“That sounds acceptable; but what if we need it detached?”
“She can attach it to the outside on a molecular level with her nanobots, and detach it the same way.”
She nodded her head, and then sighed.
“Well, I won't pretend that I’m not happy about the way this all played out; still, I’m just glad their cargo holds and brigs showed no signs of life. At least we didn't send any innocents to their doom with that ploy. You could have at least told me what it was when I asked you why you needed the scan of the pirate ships in the first place.”
“Yeah,” he replied in that casual tone of voice that she would tolerate from few others, further enforcing that matronly feeling over him, “But we didn't have time for you to be pissed off at me, then… But - for the record - I am sorry for not telling you; I should have let you know a lot sooner.”
She gave him the sternest look she could muster in that moment, and replied,
“I’ll accept your apology if - and only if - you let me examine this fruit tree of yours.”
Kyle's face brightened, and a wide smile appeared as he said,
“Of course; you could've come seen it any time.”
She smiled at him, and turned to leave, passing Kah’Ri, who had held back - as per her request - while she talked to Kyle about the heavy ordnance he had on her ship. She heard the impact of the two, and the sound of them kissing, that was immediately mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps as Kahv’Hosh and Admiral Shane gave the two their privacy.
The meeting with the Council went smoother than she could have expected, with them simply stating that - as a interstellar ambassador - Kyle was authorized for a higher level of weaponry utilized in his protection, and as his current ship of transport, the Golden Egg had the authorization to use such weapons, if need be. They did - however - require any and all recordings of the interaction to be sent to the Council, for analysis of their capabilities.
There was also the matter of Grol’Rosh, the suul’mahr representative who had watched the probe’s descent into the dark of the planet below. The doctors felt that it was best to keep him in a medically induced coma, as when he was conscious - and heavily restrained - he was moaning and whimpering, rambling incoherently about the ‘darkness that sees, hiding the sea of flesh’, of ‘clawed feet on chitinous arms, too-long hands reaching from fanged tentacles’; and the sound, which he mentioned as the ‘screams of the damned from so many mouths, they know all, 'THEY ARE THE HOLES LIKE EYES!!!’
She noted the looks that ranged form disquiet, to disgust, but it was between the humans that she saw a look of understanding horror pass.
“But…” Kyle began weakly, looking at Admiral Shane, “That was just a movie. Wha-…?”
“Well,” the Admiral replied in a slightly dazed voice, “I think it’s safe to say that blowing the planet up is out of the question.”
“Or what?” Kyle began in amused incredulity, “A piece of it’s gonna hit a wormhole, and go back in time to Alaska sometime before the 1980’s?” The laugh he ended this with was close to hysterical, to which the Admiral shrugged.
“At this point, I wouldn’t rule anything out. However, the more likely scenario would be that it lands on a different planet, wreaksand havoc from there. Even worse would be for it to hit a previously uncontacted, sapient species’ home world. The results of a single cell of this… thing’s biomass were to make it to a planet with living creatures on it would be beyond catastrophic. There’s no amount of destruction - short of throwing it into a star, or a black hole - that I would trust the safety of the galaxy to, when it comes to the lifeform that calls this planet its home.”
Chairwoman Hahss’Chom spoke up at this.
“While I obviously have no knowledge of this movie the two of you reference, I must say that your assessments of this seem to be at least plausible. I don’t know so much about the time travel aspect, but it would seem that this would be the best summary of the events, here. It would appear that a sapient race evolved on this planet, and that their Gift was that of assimilation. At some point, it would seem they began assimilating each other, until they reached a critical mass, and ‘they’ became ‘it’. And from Grol’Rosh’s description, it doesn’t sound as if this is a pleasant experience for whatever they… it has become. I believe that it is not only a matter of protection for the wider galaxy - universe, even - but also as an act of mercy that we should put this… thing out of its misery.” There was a general murmur of agreement around the council chambers as no one seemed to want to disagree with that sentiment.
They moved the Golden Egg to the other side of the system from the planet, keeping the sun between it and them. Upon hearing about the ‘darkness that sees’, Kyle had exclaimed that that was what had bothered him so much about the planet; the darkness was watching them. They didn’t want to find out if the life form on the planet may be able to ‘stack’ itself ‘up’, away from the planet, and reach out to the ship were they to get over the dark side, but at the same time, no one wanted to be under the gaze of such a massive predator.
They were parked in that system for almost an entire Standard week, though, it should have been longer; however, with their A.I. able to make the calculations for them, they were able to drop further into subspace, where not only do the ‘shadows’ become larger - therefore reducing the ‘space’ needed to travel - but the speed of your craft rose exponentially, so it was extremely easy to overshoot one’s target, going a ‘shorter’ distance at a greatly multiplied speed.
The moon/ship was amazing to behold. It had - originally - had an outer layer of ice, with an inner ocean, and a deeper ice layer, followed by a rocky mantle, and heavy iron core. The humans - but really, the A.I. - had mined out the iron core, and used it in building the outer shell of the craft. The water was harvested - according to their records - and support columns on the inside were used to maintain integrity of the craft. It now appeared for all intents and purposes as a giant metal moon, with engines on one end, and millions of lights that dotted its surface, obviously viewports. A close-up scan showed that it was blanketed in guns, but those were obviously only big enough to serve as defense; it was apparent that this ship wasn’t built as a gunner.
Once it had come into the system - keeping out of ‘view’ from its dark side - they enveloped the planet with the craft’s tractor beam, the space around the planet lighting up to an almost gray aura, as the beam took hold. Once they had reported a full grip of the planet, the Europa Contingency dropped back into subspace, the planet ‘disappearing’ with them, only to ‘reappear’ around an hour later, the ship’s massive engines working more efficiently in subspace to move the much larger planet. Once they reappeared, the light around the planet went out as the Europa Contingency released it from the tractor beam, dropping back into subspace for an easier retreat from the sun.
No one wanted to go to look at what was happening to the planet, which would entail either getting into its range of ‘vision’, and also the possibility of seeing whatever it was that drove the suul’mahr representative insane. Readings showed the loss of mass, as the planet was burnt up in the corona of the star, and everyone watched on as the sun continued to consume its wayward planet. With the planet also having been thrown - not simply having 'fallen' - into the sun, it wasn’t long before it had been fully encased in the cleansing fires of the star.
She was also relieved to see that the humans had appropriately somber expressions, obviously taking no joy in the destruction - the mass loss of… ‘life’ - that they were responsible for. They watched the reading coming in with the seriousness of attending a loved one’s funeral, and never spoke a word, not in praise, or even the acknowledgement of what was happening. She was glad to see that they weren’t entirely aggressive, that while they had the capacity to not only think of these types of weapons, but to also create them, that they weren’t the type of people who would use them so willingly. She could see in their faces the regret they had in destroying this planet, even as it was done to save countless others; for someone would eventually break quarantine, either to try to exploit the resources ‘available’, or to use the ‘lifeform’ on the planet for their own twisted ploys. And so this was a necessary evil; though they were empathetic enough to realize it for the evil that it was.
After they had witnessed the destruction of the planet, the Admirals insisted on escorting the Golden Egg to Captala’Ellats, the space station that was the next stop on their itinerary. Not having any reason to refuse a military escort, Captain Vohr’Doe graciously accepted, and they were soon on their way; this had certainly earned a bit of a reprieve for her crew, and she wouldn’t say no to a bit of shore leave, herself.

The time it took to travel between that system, and the station went by fairly quickly for Kyle. He’d been alone most of his life, with little to no friends, so to have a group of friends now - who actually wanted to spend time with him, who would seek him out to do so - brought him to a new high that he had never acquired in his memory. But having acquired a girlfriend - one who came from a people whose culture emphasized affection - brought him to a level of bliss that he didn’t think was possible. Kah’Ri had taken to spending her nights in his room, as the only real difference between general, and officer’s quarters was a bigger gym, that also served as a bit of a lounge for the officers.
He had - of course - applied for shore leave, and it had been immediately approved. Kah’Ri had also applied, and likewise was approved immediately; she had apparently never really gone on shore leave that much, only ever going at certain spots that were closer to any drahk’mihn colonies they happened to go near, or similar space stations. They had opted to get a hotel separate from the one that the Captain would be hiring to room the crew, as staying in the same hotel as the rest of the crew on the same space station would be little different than being on the ship. Zeck’Tish had recommended her cousin’s hotel, stating that he could use the business. Not that he was failing - Captala’Ellats was a major space station along the trading lanes - but with the divide between insectoid, and vertebrate species, he didn’t get as much business as others might. Of course the insectoid races all patronized his hotel, but with the insectoid species making up only about a third of all known species in the Federation, that wasn’t as much business as one might like.
And so he was currently on a call with Kohr’Sahr and Kahs’Hahn, having invited them to meet up a few days prior.
“... and so we’ll have to stop by the Council Headquarters to give our testimony of our time spent with you,” Kahs’Hahn was saying through Kohr’Sahr, “But we should be able to meet up tomorrow; we’ll send you a message when we arrive on-station, and we’ll go from there.”
“Sounds good,” Kyle said, just as he heard the door open; he’d given Kah’Ri the authorization to unlock his bedroom door without her security card, and she’d authorized him for her’s, in turn, “We’ll see you, then.”
“We?” Kohr’Sahr asked - he had long since learned to tell the difference between their slight accents when talking.
Kyle turned to Kah’Ri, smiling as he put his arm around her waist, and she slipped her tail around his, while wrapping her arms around his shoulders. He noticed her eyes widen slightly as she saw who was on screen, and he looked in time to see Kohr’Sahr’s eyes also widen in shock. He opened his mouth slightly, and Kyle noticed the barely perceptible shake of Kah’Ri’s head. Kohr’Sahr then cleared his throat, and said,
“Well… it seems as if we made quite the impact on you, eh Kyle?” ending in an awkward chuckle.
“Well,” he continued, “I don’t want to keep you from packing; Kyle, we’ll talk later. It was nice meeting you,” he added to Kah’Ri, and before either of them could reply, he cut the call short. Kah’Ri gave a soft sigh, then turned to walk to the bag she’d left on the floor by the ‘wall’ in front of the door.
“Come on,” she said, “We’ve docked with the station, and it’s time for us to go.”
Grabbing his own bag from the bed, he followed after her, locking his door behind them, and slipping his arm back around her waist.
“Did you know him?” he asked as they made their way to the elevators; she sighed lightly, but answered with a simple,
“No.”
“Well,” he pressed gently, “He seemed to know you… What are you, like, a runaway princess, or something?” While he finished with a light chuckle, Kah’Ri gave another slight sigh, and stopped walking. Kyle looked at her, feeling a growing sense of unease.
“Holy shit,” he said as she remained silent, “Are you?!”
She closed her eyes for a second, then turned to look into his eyes.
“I promise,” she said, and he was absorbed by the genuine care in her gaze, “I’ll tell you everything; but not right now. Later, when it’s just you and me, I promise I’ll tell you the truth.”
He looked into her eyes for a second, seeing the tears that wanted to come, and simply reached out, putting his hand on her cheek, and drawing her in for a kiss. As they separated, he gave her a small wink, and said,
“C’mon, let’s go see this station.” She gave him a shy smile, and they set off again.
After they’d been checked out by one of the other security chiefs, they were met by a crowd of their crew mates, all of whom were milling about outside the ship. They were soon informed why, as the Captain came up to them and informed them that the Federation Council was conducting interviews with a number of the crew, most notably those who’d had contact with Kyle; they would be conducted by the Council Representative for their people. Kyle also had an interview scheduled, though his would be with the suun’mahs Representative, in a mirror reason for the interviews of the rest of the crew: where the crew was obviously being interviewed to see how the newest species fit in from their point of view, he would be interviewed to see how other humans might react to the Federation, along with a chance to voice any grievances of his own.
Soon enough, they had all been contacted by their respective Representatives, and led off into separate rooms. Kyle was glad to see that this wasn’t an interrogation room, again, looking more like a general conference room. The suun’mahs who was to be interviewing him was male, and hadn’t seemed taken aback by the presence of Cheshire, indicating that while he may - or may not - have known about Cheshire himself, the human drive to turn predators into traveling companions was nothing new to him.
“Well, Ambassador Redding, this shouldn’t take too long; a few questions about your time in the Federation, so far, and then we can have you out of here, and enjoying your time off.”
“Thank you,” he replied, “And please, call me Kyle.”
Representative Ran’Teek smiled as he put what Kyle recognized as a holocamera on the table.
“Of course,” he stated, “You don’t mind if I record this, do you?”
“Of course not,” Kyle responded.
The questioning indeed didn’t take very long, barely even ten minutes worth of explanation, while other parts he was able to supply with a simple transfer of video data. Kay’Eighty made her appearance for that, and Representative Ran’Teek had a few questions for her, as well. Mostly about what she may need for the A.I. to be properly accommodated in the Federation, though he was obviously in untrodden ground, on that topic. Soon enough, they were done, and had exited the room.
“Well, Kyle,” Representative Ran’Teek stated as they made their way to the ‘streets’ of the station, “I guess this is where we part ways; unless you’d like for me to show you around? I still have quite a bit of time before our ship leaves, and it would be my pleasure to show you a few sights.”
Kyle checked the time on his wrist, and seeing that he also had no message from Kah’Ri telling him she was done, he could see no reason to refuse.
“Sure,” he replied, smiling, “That would be great.”

Exemple avec les jeux de basket ou de catch NBA/WWE 2K20, 2K21 etc... Même pour le style que ça renvoie, c'est dégueulasse.
Pour les hauts salaires/budgets, à la limite, c'est plus rapide d'écrire 200k que 200 000, pourquoi pas. Mais même dans les jeux vidéos, quand on parle de prix de ressources (On se souvient de Dofus par exemple), les ventes à 1,5k plutôt que de dire 1500, je vois pas l’intérêt. Même à dire : "mille cinq cent" ou "quinze cent" contre "un point cinq K", voire même pire "un virgule cinq K". Pourquoi on s'emmerde à s'exprimer de manière plus compliquée ?
​
Et pour la suite, quelques questions en rafale :

• d'où ça vient ces unités ? déci/centi/milli pour dixième/centième/millième, ok. Mais au dessus, c'est quoi leur étymologie ? Déca pour dix, ok, mais hepto ? kilo ? Méga ? Giga ? Tera ? Peta ?
• Et pourquoi en mesure de masse on a des spécificités ? En distance, on dit "100 Km" et "1000 Km", en masse, on dit "un quintal" et "une tonne".
• Qui est ce qui a choisi les unités de valeur infiniment petites ? micro-nano-pico-femto ?

I'm coming into town this morning to attend my sons graduation and was wondering if y'all could point me to a marijuana dispensary near my hotel. It's located off Mill Plain Blvd. Between 124th and 136th. I don't drive so something real close by would work best. Any suggestions help. Thank you.

Ho creato questo account per porre un quesito che mi rode da mesi ma non volevo utilizzare il mio personale per motivi di privacy.
Ho lavorato per alcuni mesi in un'azienda in cui i titolari sono decisamente persone disturbate mentalmente e potenzialmente pericolose. Non sono l'unica persona che è stata vittima del loro mobbing a tratti più che feroce (un* colleg è stat* anche aggredit* fisicamente in passato, oltre che verbalmente). Ho dovuto restare in quell'inferno solamente perchè non potevo rimanere senza uno stipendio mentre cercavo un lavoro più umano e dignitoso.
Tralasciando quello che è successo a ex collegh* e concentrandomi esclusivamente su di me, posso dire che per mesi sono stat* trattat* in modo becero. Venivo quotidianamente accusat* di essere una persona presuntuosa, di aver fatto cose che non solo non avevo mai fatto ma che non mi erano nemmeno mai passate per l'anticamera del cervello, e un* dei titolari cercava di costringermi ad ogni costo di confessare davanti a tutto l'ufficio, ad alta voce, di aver fatto cose che solo nella sua testa erano successe. Ovviamente ho sempre rifiutato di confessare il falso, venendo però così pres* sempre più di mira.
Ho ricevuto richiami disciplinari solamente per aver passato la telefonata di un cliente ad un* collega che ai titolari non andava a genio (esattamente per gli stessi motivi miei) o per essere entrat* nella scheda di un cliente senza avervi apportato modifiche, non ricordandomi il motivo per cui l'avevo aperta (a volte succedeva che il cliente al telefono ci comunicasse il proprio codice ma che lo digitassi in prima battuta in modo errato, o che il cliente stesso lo avesse detto in modo sbagliato. Cose che possono accadere in special modo quando il cliente è estero e cerca di comunicare come meglio può in una lingua non sua).
Per mesi sono stat* accusat* di essere fals*, bugiard* e ladr*. Fino al giorno in cui mi sono sentit* urlare con odio "Sei un* stronz*, devi smetterla di venire qui a prenderci per il culo!".
Questo continuo comportamento nei miei confronti mi ha provocato uno stress non indifferente: tutt'ora, senza scendere nel dettaglio, sto facendo accertamenti medici su problemi fisici che sono apparsi proprio in concomitanza a quel periodo (dove, oltretutto, si lavorava 12 ore al giorno e spesso con una pausa pranzo irrisoria).
In una situazione normale avrei potuto procedere con una bella denuncia ma qui sorge il vero problema. Un* dei titolari è consaguineo di una persona che per me è come di famiglia, e che conosce perfettamente quanto è accaduto. Persona che però ha palesato di non voler assolutamente entrare nel merito di questa situazione (ci sono motivi, ma non posso spiegarli).
Io vorrei procedere con una denuncia, presentando tutte le mie cartelle cliniche degli ultimi mesi e, eventualmente, anche il referto del* psicolog* ma non voglio in alcun modo ledere il rapporto con quella persona... La legge mi permette di procedere con una denuncia in maniera totalmente anonima? Queste persone hanno trattato alla stessa maniera anche altri loro dipendenti quindi non potrebbero di certo essere certe che si tratti di una querela da parte mia.
Ci sarebbero molte altre cose altrettanto gravi da scrivere in merito ma andrei troppo nel dettaglio e, come detto all'inizio, non voglio rischiare.
Ribadisco inoltre di non essere un troll, di non avere manie di persecuzione e di non essermi inventat* tutto di sana pianta. Anzi, se qualcuno che legge queste mie parole dovesse aver già lavorato con quelle persone, ne riconoscerebbe subito il modus operandi.
Grazie mille per aver letto questo pippone e per le vostre eventuali risposte.

Ciao a tutti,
Spesso, nel mondo lavorativo, ci troviamo a competere con altre decine, se non centinaia, di candidati per la stessa posizione. Molti di noi hanno competenze e background simili, il che rende difficile distinguersi nella folla di candidature.
Questo mi ha portato a riflettere su come possiamo rompere le convenzioni e farci notare in maniera unica e positiva da potenziali datori di lavoro. Mi chiedo: quali sono i modi più innovativi, creativi e di alto impatto per inviare un curriculum? Come possiamo trovare i recruiter giusti e ottenere quel tanto desiderato colloquio di lavoro?
C'è qualcuno che ha sperimentato metodi non convenzionali per fare domanda di lavoro e ha avuto successo? Oppure, se siete recruiter o responsabili delle risorse umane, cosa vi ha colpito di più in un candidato o in un curriculum?
Fatemi leggere le vostre idee, non importa quanto stravaganti possano sembrare.
Grazie mille!

Buongiorno! Ripropongo una domanda e ringrazio anticipatamente se qualcuno sa indicarmi eventualmente il sub corretto.
Non trovo il modo di conoscere quali aziende in Italia producono o utilizzano in un qualsiasi processo produttivo "PFOA" e "PFAS"..
Qualcuno ha qualche suggerimento?
Grazie mille a tutti
