Hi,
Does anybody know if a house is available for rent near the Al-Aziziya metro station? I am looking for a family home. If anyone happens to know kindly pls tell me.
Thank you.

Earlier, I was in my garden and I found a new, white flower I hadn’t seen before and I used an app (PictureThis) to identify it. It’s called a campion. I then dropped a coworker off on the Appalachian Trail for a 5 day hike, and on my way back, there was a huge pileated woodpecker in the middle of the road. I pulled over, picked it up, and walked it back to my car. It didn’t look injured, just stunned. I put it in a tree and it flew away and left me a feather.
I went home and found a baby fawn nested in my yard. Then, I went into my barn to look for string to trellis my peas, and I found a nest with three baby warbler chicks in it. I went back into the garden and started to transplant some strawberry starts my neighbor (a chimney sweep) gave to me, and a car slowed down to ask for directions.
It was the chair of UVA’s biology department. He explained that he and two other scientists with him were looking for a small white flower called a campion, but they weren’t having any luck… The same flower I found this morning!
I showed him the flower and he got really excited. He explained that this flower is interesting because it has male and female plants, XX and XY. The XY plants become infected with a fungus, which they then shoot out spores of instead of pollen. The fungus then is carried by bees from the XY plants to the female plants. Once the female plants are infected, they change sex. It’s basically an STD. Trans plants!
The plant only blooms when the sun isn’t out, and so often you see it painted on medieval paintings that depict openings to the underworld near the cavernous entrance to hell. It’s also in the unicorn tapestries, like the Unicorn Rests in the Garden. I cut off a little one and put it next to my dad’s ashes.
Have a wonderful Sunday. I forgot to go to church but I still feel touched by God.

Hi fellow working moms. Just a quick background: 35F mom to 3yo twins, working full time outside the house with a doctorate level degree and have been since kids started daycare center at 4mos old. Husband is also full time outside the house and has over an hour commute each way to work each day.
I love my job and career. I was recently promoted and continue to take on more at work. All things I enjoy and learn from! I am also working on a distance learning program in [my field] education. This program has three stages; you can go as far as you want with the 3rd stage being a master’s degree. Each stage is a year long, but the second stage can be broken into two years depending on what courses/modules you select.
I’m currently nearing the end of the first year and I love the program and all I’m learning. It compliments my main work well and while I don’t see myself pivoting into purely education in my field any time soon, it’s a nice add-on and still applicable to my work. It’s a bonus on the resume and gives me career flexibility should I want it in the future. I can stop now, but I’d love to keep going! The thing is, I’m feeling overwhelmed lately. I have a lot on my plate at work, lots to manage at home and then this program. I typically do my program work at work (which is permitted since they’re paying for it!) but I worry the next two years will be more time demanding.
Another pesky detail: I can take my field’s board exams in 2026, and most people take at least a year to study. It will be intensive and the pass rate is pretty low. If I decide to continue with this education program, it would be best to be done by 2025 so I can then switch gears to board certification focus.
Am I being silly to want to keep going with the program? Am I setting myself up to burn out? There isn’t really much else I can shift to free up time in my life - I get up early to work out, walk the dog after work and then go with my husband to get the kids. I go to bed after they do 😂
Thank you in advance for any ideas, advice or just commiseration for us busy working moms!

Please send help. Last week i flew out to Calgary to see my family for spring break. I hadn’t seen my parents or my twin sister in about seven months, so i decided id pay them a visit. It was also nearing our birthday, so i thought to buy her a gift.
“Good morning, sir! Where are you headed to today, and ill need to see your passport.” The CBP officer asked.
“Uh, here you go. Im headed to Calgary to visit my family on spring break…” I nervously tumbled around in my bag, searching for my passport.
“That sounds wonderful.” I handed her my passport. “Okay, seems good. Have a great break, sir.” She said, closing the small book and handing it back to me.
I thanked her and moved along into the airport. I decided to text my mom to see where she was.
“Hey. Im about to get off. You here?”
“Hi, Alec. Just about here. Pulling into the parking lot now. See you soon! ❤️”
“Okay, see you soon.”
I spin my head around looking around for a sight of my mothers dark brown hair. Even in her 60’s she never managed to grey. I found a few signs that were in big bold letters. “LEIGHA” one read. “SHAYLEE MOM MISSED YOU!! ❤️” another read.
Then, i saw a sign that a shorter, older lady was holding.
“WELCOME HOME ALEC !” I saw her bobbing up and down, trying to catch a sight of me.
“Mom!” I yelled, running up to her. “Alec!” She hugged me tight and showered me in kisses.
“I missed you so much! So did dad and Mila. They’re both waiting at home right now.”
My house in Calgary was about a ten minute walk away from the airport, so it made sense why the two didn’t come to get me. Id see them in no time, anyway.
We arrived at the house, and Mila opened the door almost immediately after we knocked.
“Alec! Oh my god, you’re back!” She hugged me tight and dad came in to say his greetings.
Dad was never a very verbal person, but today seemed different. Today he was very open and touchy.
“Alec, my boy! How have you been!?” He pat me on my back.
The first thing i noticed was that dad didn’t have his arm tattoo that he got with me a few years back. We got matching tattoos of race-cars on our left arms, symbolizing when we used to play cars all the time back in my childhood.
“Dad? Where’s your tattoo…?” I asked, unlocking from the tight hug Mila gave me.
His face seemed to gloom for a minute, then he was brought back.
“What are you talking about, Alecrisos?” He stopped himself as he called me by my full name. He seemed so distant from me. He had never EVER called me Alecrisos before.
“Uh…” Mom said, shoving me into the house. “Dad? what are you talking about?” Mila questioned him.
“Haha! Just playing around with my boy. The tattoo faded off my arm, thats all.” He smiled with his teeth. Dad never smiled with his teeth.
At supper, my mom made my favourite meal of soup and bread. But, when I ate it, i had a hard time stomaching the food. I remember thinking she must’ve just changed the recipe.
Then, when i went to bed on my bunk bed that i shared with Mila, I remember her turning her butterfly light off. She always had it on when she went to slee, and i always had to turn it off when she went because I couldnt sleep if it was on.
“Goodnight, Alec. I missed you. We all did.” She said.
I smiled and thought i must’ve just been too homesick, that i was imagining things. As i flipped over to face the wall, I managed to catch a glimpse of two red glowing eyes.
“Mila?! Did you see that?!” I panicked.
However, only muffled screams came back. It sounded like it was from under the bed.
“Jesus fucking christ, Mila! Where are you?!” I freaked out, jumping out of the bed and turning on the light to the room. However, when i did, Mila lay still on the bottom bunk, snoring away.
“Mila!” I said, confused. I turned the light back off, and the muffled screaming started again.
I didn’t sleep that night. I don’t think Mila did, either. Because I knew that underneath those covers, she was just as scared as I was. Or maybe Mila was underneath the bed. Maybe Mila was the one screaming. Because i know for a fact that Mila on the bed wasn’t Mila.
No. She wasn’t my twin. More of a distant cousin. Most of the night a constant clicking noise came from Milas bunk. Numerous messages came from my phone from Mila, reading;
“ALEC PLEASE WE’RE HERE IN THE BASEMENT, WHOEVER THE FUCK IS IN MY BED ISN’T ME. PLEASE, ALEC!”
I waited til the clicking stopped, and slowly got up from the top. I opened the door and crept down the stairs into the hallway, and then down the basement stairs.
Banging came from the door, and the handle rattled like crazy.
“LET US OUT YOU CRAZY BITCH-!” Mom screamed. “Mom? Mom- its me. It’s Alec.” Why are you in there?” I asked.
However, before i could reach an answer, other Mila walked up to me.
“Alec? Who are you talking to?” She stared at mw with glowing red eyes.
“Who are you…?” She pulled a wooden plank from behind her back, and stunned me with it.
Next thing I knew, I was in the basement, trapped just like the rest of my family. And so if you are reading this right now,
They’ve already gotten out.

I started here during covid for a base pay of $200 a month plus 20% of all sales + service/delivery fees + tips. (1099 employee) I also ended up owing over $10k in taxes
They want me to switch to a salary of $32k plus tips & fees & 10% commission. I’ll no longer be 1099.
I’ve always been salary + commission in the past. I was just wondering if there are other options i could suggest to renegotiate.
Thanks!!

This build relies heavily on using finishers to make EVERYTHING explode, turn you invisible, give you grenade recharge rate, and then let you continue chaining nuke explosions until nothing is left. I've been fine tuning this and the gameplay loop and I can't wait to try it out in GMs. It does decently in master nightfalls, master lost sectors, and dungeons with a lot of ad density. I think a few of the artifact mods in the last column will really put it over the top, but I still have to unlock those at this point.
I (jokingly) argue that this invisibility build is better than hunters because it actually involves killing enemies. Hunters just dodge to go invisible, and that's cowardly. ^fightme
So here's the build.
Key Stats: 1. 100 Resilience 2. 100 Discipline 3. High Recovery is Good Too
Key Exotics: 1. Severance Enclosure (Chest) (Makes an explosion when you finish an enemy) 2. Rat King (Sidearm). Getting kills makes you invisible and starts health regen (if you have the catalyst). The biggest problem this season is you can't deal with champions with sidearms anymore :/ 3. Vexcalibur (Glaive). Blocking gives you overshields which kickstarts your grenade regeneration. Can use against unstoppable champions this season
Key Aspects: 1. Controlled Demolition (When volatile targets explode near you, you and allies get health) 2. Offensive Bulwark (when you have an overshield you get increased grenade recharge)
Key Fragments: 1. Echo of Cessation: Finishers create a void explosion that makes nearby combatants to become volatile. Also, defeating volatile targets creates a void breach 2. Echo of Starvation: Picking up a void breach or an orb of power grants devour 3. Echo of Persistence: Void buffs applied to you (invisibility, overshield, and devour) have increased duration. You will be using all of these buffs. 4. Echo of Obscurity: Finisher final blows grant invisibility (This allows you to dip in for a finisher and then dip out or go find another target to finish without getting shot at.
Key Mods: Firepower: Creates orbs of power with grenade kills. Grenade Kickstart: Gives you grenade energy back if you have armor charges Charged Up x2: Gives you 2 extra armor charges (5 total) so you get even more grenade energy back when you throw a grenade Proximity Ward: Gives you an overshield when you do a finisher.
Artifact Mods: Unto the breach: creates a void breach when you defeat a void debuffed target Protective Breach: Picking up a void breach gives you an overshield Supernova: Picking up a void breach causes your next source of void damage to create a large weakening pulse Squad Goals: Finishers when you have devour grant your allies devour
Gameplay Loop: 1. Throw a vortex grenade (this sucks enemies into a group and slowly starts ticking their health down). I ran scatter grenade but it would just kill everything outright. I find the vortex grenade is more consistent at ticking everything down into finishing range. 2. Run into the group and perform a finisher (this makes everything explode, you're now invisible, you’ve likely created a void breach which will give you overshield and grenade recharge, and now all the enemies that survived are volatile) 3. Run to the next enemy that can be finished and perform a finisher (if nothing can be finished, find a wounded enemy and shoot it until it can be finished). 4. Repeat until nothing is left.

Desperate Car Wife: A Journey in the Making (part.7)
My husband's next "victim" .... A golden brown 1997 Chevy K/1500 Extended Cab
I had a feeling he'd buy this truck at some point... A buddy of his owned it and he would always make comments and cash offers whenever he saw the truck. About 3 or 4 years later my hubby finally got his wish! I still remember the night we brought it home... Unfortunately, that same night, during the wee hours, some delinquent teens went around the neighborhood and were keying cars down our street! He parked it on the street since he had planned to wash it first thing.... Hub was up early the next day, so excited to have his new baby; ready to give her a good wash and start marking his "territory" with that good 'ol "JB Treatment".. We walked out and discovered the truck had been keyed all the way from the driver's side door to the rear fender!! I can't describe how super p@##ed off he was without using a list of colorful words, but I'm sure y'all can imagine... I'm just glad I was there to help calm him down; to this very day I truly feel that had he given into his anger, he would've gone off his rocker, and that day would've been much like that famous line from Liam Neeson in Taken!! But after about an hour of watching what looked like a crazy man, pacing back and forth, looking over and over at the nearly 7' long scratch, while cursing up a storm, he managed to calm down "somewhat" and immediately ran down to AutoZone... $150 later, he had what he needed to make it as invisible as possible. It was deep in spots; the entire scratch had passed through the top coat and in some areas it was all the way to the base paint :(
Over the next year, he went over the entire body with a clay bar, compound buffed, then waxed and polished... She was easily a 10 footer for sure! Eventually he found some wheels and bought matching tires.. (He has a thing about mismatched tires LOL) She was lookin' like a pretty nice truck, so shiny and new, nearly flawless on the outside.
Side Note: I remember one night, not too long after he finished all that hard work, we were bbqing at our friend's house; the one who sold us the truck. It was well after midnight when we were finally ready to leave, (hubby was highly intoxicated), I ended up having to pull the truck out first because a huge bush was on the other side where he had backed in too close and couldn't open the passenger side door. Well he was too drunk and way too tall to try to climb over the center console thru the driver's side, so he wanted me to pull the truck out and he'd just hop in. I was like "there are branches sticking out of the bush and I think I might scratch the truck"... I insisted my hubby just pull it out a little and then I'd take over. (if anyone was gonna scratch it, I'd rather it be him!) To give some insight: there was another car parked on the driver's side, giving me very little room to work with... But he refused and said he'd guide me.. Famous. Last. Words!!!! As soon as I started to pull away, I heard scraping sounds!!!! I stopped and was sooo upset because I knew it would happen! I thought for sure he would be so p@##ed at me for scratching it! I had tears, I felt so bad!! He had just finished getting that truck looking new again and the hours of labotime spent doing so... I couldn't stop sobbing, even when he, surprisingly, wasn't mad at all!! He actually blamed himself because he made me move it.. I blame the alcohol for his chill response!!! After repeated "sorry's" and "it's okay's".. we get home and he grabs his container of Mother's compound and starts buffing out the scratch.... Next morning I looked at the spot and to my excitement, the scratch was gone... it didn't go through the top coat!! Couldn't even tell that there was ever even a scratch!!!! \Wipes sweaty forehead* What a relief that was!*
Next came the.......... you got it! The Sound system! \ insert smirky laugh here LOL **
A slimbox would just not do.. he tried, but at this point in his obsession with bass style audio, he wanted more bass. Well for those of you that don't know, more bass means not only bigger subs and bigger boxes for those subs, you also need higher quality tweeters and mids with their own amp system plus crossovers, a powerful amp just for the bass, bigger batteries (yes, that's plural), a bigger alternator, fuses galore, expensive wiring , etc... Not only is that crazy expensive to do, but it also required him to eventually remove the bench seat. I had no clue to all of this till I started going with him more often to the car audio shops. Needless to say, I was not a happy wife when it came to the price tags... I was perfectly happy with decent sound and a small sub, but something so crazy loud wasn't that big of a deal to me, however, our bank account would say otherwise LOL ... it wasn't my daily driver, so I didn't really care other than the costs for everything... he just could never be happy with the sound and continuously changed out the subs, boxes, decks, you name it... he did it more than once over on everything! So that was the first strike to this truck and I... (I know it sounds a bit harsh for a 1st strike, but I wanted a nice family vacation, not bigger and bigger subs... Remember my "limits" motto??)
I liked driving it around town, though the driver's seat was broken in the upright position, so I had to drive with a pillow behind me. (Strike 2!!) It never bothered him because he's so dang tall, and I rarely drove it as it was, so the seat wasn't a priority... Then I took it on the freeway, the steering became very loose. I don't know how to describe how it felt to me, other than it felt like it was severely out of play... My hubby never seemed to have the same issue and always would reassure me that "it's just how the truck drives''... So he hasn't messed around with the steering column at all. Well, I don't trust it or feel safe in it, so I refuse to drive it. I have had to take it on the freeway a couple more times since then and I still hate driving it... it still felt way out of whack for me; taking curvy turns was the worst, I couldn't even keep it centered in my lane! Nerves shot and blood pressure at its highest.... Strike 3!!! I absolutely hate driving that truck!!! She is a pretty thing after a good waxing, but that's as far as I take a liking to her...
$10k later, including a rebuilt tranny and 2 DIY transfer case replacements, the truck is nearly perfect in my husband's eyes.... but then the poor thing falls to vandalism once again! :( :( :( Only this time it was 2 slashed tires and a broken windshield! This time we filed a police report! But of course nothing ever came of it, unfortunately.... It was easy to replace, but costly and getting no justice after being vandalized twice (parked in the driveway the 2nd time), left us feeling sour and foul mouthed.... Now we have cameras on the driveway and street! Regardless of the vandalism, there's always something needing to be replaced it seems... this truck feels like a money pit in my mind... strike 4...
Special Note: If you have found or follow me on Twitter (DsCarWife) and come here to read my posts... I have a little treat tweet coming! Stay Tuned!
Part. 8 coming soon

< Ep 4- Part 2
Based on the fourth round of the elimination contest and the results
Spoiler tag only for basic character spoilers.
[Cut to the stage with Chris and Chef sitting at a judges table]
Chris: Alright first up is the Narwhals with Ella, Dakota, and Staci.
Tsumugi: And assistance from Beth!
Chris: Yeah, yeah whatever. Begin ladies.
Sayaka: [to herself] Here goes nothing. Please don't let me die of embarrassment.
[Sayaka begins to sing one of most popular songs]
Makoto: Oh, I love this one.
Kaede: Makoto, focus on the piano keys please. We're still not ready yet.
[Sayaka starts to dance around the stage]
Chris: Yes, pretty good, though I have no idea what those words mean.
Chef: Seems to be a one woman show so far.
Miu: Don't you worry because this shows about to heat up thanks to me! [she aims her invention]
Chris: Dakota...what exactly is that going to do?
Miu: Don't blink! [She fires at Sayaka as her body erupts into light and smoke. She can still be heard singing. Her old clothes are blown away against the backdrop]
Chris: Flashy and impressive.
Chef: Um please tell me that isn't the girl's clothes over there.
Miu: Wait for it…
[The smoke clears. Sayaka can still be heard singing]
Himiko: Behold, the Ultimate Magician is here now!
Chef: Okay then where is the- Gaagh!
[Sayaka suddenly appears over Chef's shoulder singing to to both of them in a completely different outfit]
Miu: Yeah, sing it girl! [Miu aims again and fires]
Chris: Agh! Dakota, not in my eyes please! Ugh, Chef, give me something to clear my eyes.
Himiko: Here you go. [She's now in Sayaka's place next to them holding a handkerchief]
Chef: Are these the girl's other clothes now?! [Referring to the clothes blown into his face]
Miu: Look, I can't control where they go to alright. Just enjoy the show you two!
[Another burst of smoke and Sayaka's back on stage. This process repeats a few more times with Sayaka disappearing and reappearing all over the stage every time in a new outfit and Himiko in her place until Sayaka finally finishes her song]
Sayaka: *pant* *pant* So what did you think?
Miu: Yeah, pretty impressive right?
Chris: Well, while I couldn't understand any of the words being sung, I will say I did appreciate the theatrics of it all.
Chef: Though, I could've done without all the girl's clothes strewn everywhere.
Chris: We give it a 4 each so an 8/10 for the Narwhals. Not a bad start. Rhinos are up next with Sugar, Katie, and Geoff.
Gundham: Are you sure you can handle knives?
Peko: Of course, like he said they're just tiny swords right…
Hiyoko: You just better not hit me! *Deep breath* Let's do this.
[The music begins and Hiyoko begins dancing her traditional Japanese dance]
Chris: Again with the Japanese songs. You don't see us going around playing songs that scream we're Canadian.
Hiyoko: Just shut up and pay attention!
Chef: I'm a little curious what the hamster boy is doing over there.
Kazuichi: Okay Peko, you're up. Just aim for the spots Mukuro already hit in the backdrop.
Peko: Very well. [She throws the first knife. It flies past Hiyoko but not without her having to dodge a bit]
Hiyoko: I said watch it, you klutz!
Peko: I got this, okay…[throws three more all just barely hitting their mark and missing Hiyoko]
Chris: Okay extreme traditional dancing huh? Not bad…
Gundham: Go now my Dark Devas! [Maga-Z and San-D make it onto two of the knives and start posing. Cham-P slumps onto the lower knife as Jum-P springs off of him onto the higher one.]
Chef: Interesting use of the little rodents.
Kazuichi: Okay Peko, bring it home with a few more.
Peko: Wait, where do I throw them?
Kazuichi: Um…I don't know Mukuro was just going to throw them to give more platforms for Gundham's hamsters to dance around on but we didn't get that far in practice. Just anywhere I guess.
Peko: Alright….[to herself] just don't hit Hiyoko or the hamsters. Hgghh!! [She throws the next knife and it flies to much to the right, slicing the sleeve of Hiyoko's kimono]
Hiyoko: Ahh! My sleeve! [The knife sails passed and straight towards Cham-P. He tries to jump out of the way and ends up falling off the knife and sending it clattering to the ground. This sends the rest of the Devas in a panic as they leap off the backdrop and onto Hiyoko] AGGHHH! No, get off me you filthy rats!
Sonia: Hiyoko, be careful don't hurt them!
Hiyoko: No stop! Get out of there!!! [She tries to keep dancing but is convulsing around, continuing until the music finally stops] *pant* *pant* [Her kimono tattered and loose from flailing so much, the Devas climb their way out and run back to Gundham]
Gundham: Be still my Devas, everything is alright now.
Hiyoko: Uggghhhh!!! Your stupid hamsters ruined my performance!!
Chris: *ahem* Well it definitely wasn't good. What do you think, Chef?
Chef: I liked the part with the knife throwing around the little brat. But other than that it's a two for me.
Chris: A two for me as well. So that leaves the Rhinos with a final score of 4/10. Octopi you're up next.
Peko: I'm sorry, I guess I'm not the best at knife throwing.
Aoi: Don't worry, Peko, we don't blame you. When we lose we know exactly who to blame.
Byakuya: I wonder who you could be referring to.
Hiyoko: Can I vote Gundham's stupid hamsters off the island instead!?
Gundham: Over my mortal body.
[Cut to the Octopi backstage still trying to work out their instruments]
Chris: [off camera] Come on, Octopi. Hurry up, we don't have all day.
Kaede: No, we can't do this, they're not ready.
Akane: Look on the bright side we probably can't fail worse than the Rhinos.
Kaede: I know but it's still going to be pretty embarrassing. Byakuya's right it's impossible to expect anyone to match our talent this quickly.
Taka: Wait, Kaede, that's it. We just need to reverse that thinking. Instead of them matching you two, how about you two match them?
Ibuki: Um, Izzy's a little confused at what you mean about that, Topher.
Taka: Listen up you two [whispers to Kaede and Ibuki]
Kaede: Huh, oh…oh my that might actually work.
Ibuki: Absolutely, we can make this rock hard!
Makoto: Wait, you didn't tell us what you're even doing.
Taka: There's no need. You two just go up on stage and play like you normally do.
Nagito: So poorly?
Taka: The girls will handle the rest and let your luck carry us to victory. Now go, Chris is waiting!
[Cut back to Chris and Chef at the judge table]
Chris: Finally, it seems like the Octopi are ready. Looks like we have a musical performance by Sky, Cody, Harold, and Izzy. Should be interesting at least.
[Stage opens with Makoto on the piano and Nagito on the bass guitar. Both begin playing simple melodies still rather amateurly]
Chef: This is the best they can come up with when it comes to talent?
Chris: I know, I feel like I'm back at my middle school talent show.
[Suddenly Ibuki bursts onto the stage shredding her guitar to Nagito's melody but in a way where it blends in with hers.]
Chef: Huh, that doesn't sound half bad. Could do without the piano though.
[Then Kaede slides in next to Makoto and does a musical scale matching the simple keys Makoto's playing]
Chris: Woah, what the?
[The stage immediately erupts into a complete harmony of guitar and piano. It turns into a rock ballad as Ibuki's guitar takes center stage only giving a moment to breathe as Nagito plays his simple melody as a solo and Ibuki takes back over]
Akane: This is actually working!
[Next Kaede takes center stage as her fingers dance gracefully over the keys purposely missing the notes that Makoto's melody is satisfying and taking the moment final moments to play one of her favorite classical pieces]
Chef: *sniff* It's beautiful.
[The grand finale has Ibuki and Kaede do a musical showdown, each playfully hitting back at each other with their own song. At one point stopping their playing to let Nagito and Makoto play their tunes against each other before finally jumping back in and finishing the set off with a big loud cacophony of noise. Ending on a complete silence after Kaede does one final slam on the keys and Ibuki one final power chord.]
Ibuki: Oh yeah, how was that for you!
[Octopi burst into applause and cheers. The four performers take a bow.]
Chris: I've got to admit that was mighty impressive. To not only blend guitar and piano but also those two's terrible playing is, dare I say it, extremely talented. It's a five for me.
Chef: *sniff* Huh, what?! Oh yeah a five from me as well. Man, that piano song reminded me of my childhood with Mama. What was that again…Debut…no Daberry?
Kaede: That was Debussy. It's one of my favorites.
Chef: Yeah, that was it! Man, that brings back memories.
Chris: Well I have to say it looks like we have a clear winner with a perfect 10/10 the Octopi win this competition. Of course we still have the Lions left. While I doubt they can match that we'll see if they at least don't come in dead last. It can't be any worse than the Rhinos, am I right?
[Cut to Lions backstage]
Mahiru: Well, Chihiro, are you able to fix it?
Chihiro: Sorry, film cameras aren't really my specialty. I'm going to need more time and maybe some help from Miu.
Kaito: Great, then who's going to perform with Angie and Nekomaru now?
Mondo: We still have Kirumi, right? She said she’d be of assistance.
Angie: Never fear Tyler and Brick. For Atua has answered my calls for help and has determined that Mike shall be our new performer, Nyahahahah!
Hajime: What, me?!
Angie: But of course, Atua senses great power inside you, and so you'll be perfect. Plus you must have great trust in Atua. More So than Tyler.
Hajime: But I…what am I supposed to do?
Mondo: Don't look at me man, Angie's in charge here.
Angie: Just follow my lead and let the beauty of making art and Atua guide you.
Nekomaru: Also make sure to catch everything I throw at you.
Angie: Let's begin. Places everyone!
[Cut back to Chris]
Chris: Alright, last up we have the Lions with Angie, Lightning and Courtney.
Celeste: Actually a change in plans Chris, as Mike will be taking Courtney's spot.
Chef: Mike? Does that guy even have a talent?
Chris: Well, we'll see. It's showtime!
[The stage opens and Angie and Hajime are in front of a pile of mud. Hajime's staring awkwardly at the audience]
Chiaki: Go, Hajime.
[He waves at Chiaki, but is immediately cut off by Nekomaru jumping on stage]
Nekomaru: All right team, ready and….. create! [He immediately starts throwing artists' tools at the pair in a rhythm. Hajime attempts to catch each one and passes it to Angie who is busy forming the mud.]
Angie: Hi, hi, hi, keep it up Mike and Lightning. This mud dries quickly!
Hajime: Agh, I'm going as fast as I can! Woah, there.
Nekomaru: Time to speed things up then. OVERDRIVE!!!
Hajime: [to himself] Dear Atua, please no.
[The strange dance continues of tools being thrown and just as quickly discarded, as Angie works faster building up her mud creation until finally it looked to be completed]
Chris: Hold on a sec…….
Angie: Aaaaannnnd…Wah Lah! How do you like it, Chris? [Angie turns to reveal a life size sculpture of Chris smiling down at his human counterpart]
Chris: It's beautiful! That's an immediate five from me! This is going to make a fabulous camp centerpiece.
Hajime: *pant* *pant* Are-are we done?
Kaito: I think we actually won this.
Kokichi: Of course, haven't you seen any underdog story? You always come from behind and claim victory.
Angie: Hmmm….ah not quite yet. Atua has shown me one more improvement. Lightning, I need a pretty rock over there by the seashore. Hurry, before the sculpture hardens.
Nekomaru: You got it!!!
Hajime: *pant* W-wait, Angie. I think we've done enough, we really shouldn't push it.
Angie: Nonsense Mike, Atua has spoken that this masterpiece will not be complete without it.
Hajime: B-but-
Nekomaru: I GOT IT! HAJIME, HEADS UP!!! [He launches the rock straight at the stage]
Hajime: Oh no-HGGGHHH!! [He catches in straight in his gut]
Mondo: Wow, he actually caught it. Pretty good for a-
Mahiru: Hajime, look out behind you!
[Hajime stumbles backwards from the impact and bumps into the sculpture, ultimately knocking it over and smashing on the ground]
Kokichi: Ooooh, that's not how those stories go. Maybe they really are fictional lies.
Kaito: Go Kirumi. [He pushes her on stage as she calmly walks over and begins cleaning up the rumble]
Hajime: Ugghhh. I've *cough* got it.
Angie: Oh my! On second thought it probably wouldn't have helped anyway. Chris seems different now.
Chris:................
Kaito: So uh Chef. You heard Chris. He already gave us a five so how about you?
Chef: Well it is impressive but ultimately you didn't have coordination to work as a team but I'd still give a three. Mostly for the maid girl's diligence.
Mondo: So, that still gives us an eight tied with the Narwhals then?
Chris: Nope! Uh uh, I retract my rating! For building up my hopes and dreams, and firmly crushing it. You get a Zero! Lions I'll be seeing you at the campfire ceremony immediately! Actually…let me mourn my losses first.
Angie: Well, this is not how Atua saw this going at all, but a very impressive display, Mike.
Hajime: Uh, yeah sure.
[Cut to the campfire ceremony]
Chris: Lions, you know why you're here. So let's just get this over with! In fact you probably already know who the bottom three are so in order is Cameron, Tyler, Brick, Blaineley and Courtney. You're all safe. [The donuts are chucked at them]
Mondo: Woah, watch the hair, man!
Chris: Celeste, Max, and Trent are also safe with one vote each.
Ryoma: Wait, someone actually voted for me? [He looks over at Celeste]
Celeste: What? I told you I would. No need to stare at me like that.
Chris: And looky here, surprise surprise it's the final three dream smashing performing losers. The first one safe is…….Mike.
Hajime: Well, that's a relief.
Chris: And the last one to receive a jelly donut is…………..
………….. Lightning.
Nekomaru: Thank you, I promise not to let you down again, team!
Angie: Oh my…what is this?
Chris: This is you not getting a donut, Angie, which means you're out of the competition. Serves you right for getting my hopes up!
Angie: Atua definitely did not see this coming-woah!
Chef: Yeah, yeah, blame whatever God you want girly. Time to go.
Angie: Bye-yonara my friends. I hope we stay in touch. Visit my island someday!
[Confessional]
Mahiru: Look it wasn't because of Angie's reliance on Atua that we voted her off…..okay maybe it was. I mean seriously we could've won if her God didn't demand that final addition. Maybe it was for the best.
[End]
[Confessional]
Kaito: Finally! That's one incompetent leader off our team. Maybe these guys will start relying on others for a change. Like me!
[End]
Chris: Quite the shake up as we lose our first team leader. Will the Lions be able to work as a team without her. I mean who else are they going to listen to....Tyler?
Kaito: Hey, I heard that!
Chris: Find out next time on Total Drama Triple D of Danganronpa Despair Disaster.

Background: I have a smallish walk in closet in my bedroom that I am planning to use for my testing space. I have two cats with separation anxiety and if they hear me in a room behind a closed door, they will scratch and meow constantly. My closet is the only interior room in my house that they will not be heard. Consequently I plan to empty my closet entirely and bring a folding chair and small TV tray in as my setup. The bonus to this is that I will have no excuse not to reorganize my closet after this is all over. It’s not an ideal setup by any means but it is what I have so I am trying to make the best of it.
My closet has light but does not have any power outlets in it. I am hoping to run an extension cord under the closed closet door to a nearby outlet in the bedroom for my laptop charger and a box fan for air circulation and a bit of white noise. Has anyone had any issues or positive experiences with having to run power in from outside their testing areas? I seem to hear so many stories of extremely strict proctors or scores being cancelled and I want to do whatever I can to avoid any issues. If at all necessary my laptop will hold a charge for long enough and I can find some alternate way to get air circulation I think, but having this would make things so much more comfortable.

So I was telling some people how proud I’m of myself for being able to do so much now a days like holding down a job, going outside a lot and just not having anywhere near the level of anxiety I had
I told them I used to have agoraphobia because I was so scared that people would see me get ill outside and not in a safe environment (I also had an eating disorder so if I passed out a lot of people would look at me and I’d hate that)
They just told me that was very shallow and who cares!

So I made post before I live in Illinois and im 21 living with parents and sibling who dont mask. Honestly? I have since long time ago gave up trying to convince them to mask indoors at least for their health really. I gave up. But I still feel at risk. I havent felt safe for three years now and I have no money to my name. I have been seeking remote and hybrid positions but never hear anything back or rejection emails. I have applied to in person jobs too out of desperation and no luck either besides like 3-4 interviews. This was the worst time for this to happen. I am unemployed and have an associates degree that is not useful its only an associates in general studies and I cant afford to get any other course of training right now. My parents wont help me got to back too. I want to give up im being real because even if I could move out it could take me years to save up enough money. I feel too tired to mask in my house when I mask all day when I have to go outside. I feel damn near worn down. I don't know what jobs that are covid-safe that are in person I could apply to that would help me raise enough money to move out soon? I have no friends to move in or a boyfriend. I can't seek someone to date and move in with because most people arent taking any precautions I tried I looked in apps like, tinder, and hinge, and bumble bFF for friends. I tried covidmeetups the website it dead for me. I really don't know to everyone here if im going to be able to make it out and move out before I get reinfected so many times by my family that I die by sickness or become disabled and be gaslighted by my parents more. Is there any job out there I dont know how to navigate which in-person job can be safe enough for me in city that also gets very cold in the winter? Also I live in Illinois if anyone is living there rn hmu I would like to find a least a friend who understands.

Went to Birmingham NEC for an expo, but because my car was in for service, I had to take the bike.Because I was working at the expo, I could only get out 2 hours after it ended.
When I got to the car park, I heard my disc break alarm going off. Multiple guys around my SV650, one chap kicking my steering wheel to break the lock. Managed to fend them off, mainly thanks to Jamie, another biker who parked next to me and was there at the same time. When they realised they couldn't take the bike, they kicked it over. As again, disc break was on, so even if they get the lock off, they still would not have taken the bike probably.
I quickly packed my bags on, and got on the motorway back to south, fuming for a solid 30 minutes before I had to stop for petrol. Bumped into 3 riders, whom I could share the events with, allowing me to properly relax.
Once I got back on the bike, I realised how immensely lucky I was, sitting on my bike with zero riding affecting damage. Engine guard & bar ends saved everything, especially because Jamie also slowed the fall of the bike. Steering lock is still there, but it's definitely bent, it's only about 5% off from the center. Lock works, but inserting the key is now tricky. Nothing else wrong with it the bike, so probably it won't cost me more than £2-300. (hopefully)
Lessons learned:- Disc break lock is not theft prevention, it's theft protection. These morons didn't know what it was, otherwise what was the point of any of what they were doing? They had no grinder on them.- Birmingham is full of c*nts, never take a bike there- Birmingham NEC has ZERO security in the car park, 2 hours after the daily event ends. There were still nearly 100 cars on site, yet zero staff to protect a PAID car park.
The man of the day is Saint Jamie, if I could hug you for another minute, I would.

Hi all! I recently bought my first house - it’s a 86 square meter, three bedroom apartment in an older apartment building in a European capital
We were looking for more than a year for the right apartment: in our current neighborhood and 3-bedrooms (we have a baby and WFH a lot). And within our budget of course. We currently live in a 4th floor apartment with no elevator, which with a baby is awful. We eventually want to move out of the city, but we just had to move on from renting and wanted something a bit bigger with an elevator until we reach the next phase outside of the city.
We recently found something checking all our boxes. Only downside is: the building is not very appealing (kind of ugly 60’s style) and the living room is a bit small as well. We debated to break open the wall between kitchen and living room to gain some extra space to solve that issue.
Well, we put in an offer, it got accepted and before we know it: we are home owners!🍾
But…… the last few days I have a terrible knot in my stomach. What is making me worried:

1. I feel we overpaid for the house. We had to bid against another buyer (which in hindsight I don’t believe) so we had to go a little over asking.
   
2. The house was quickly renovated for the sale and basically turn key, but we ended up doing construction anyways to gain a bit of space. I went there yesterday, it’s an absolute mess, the workers need to replace the floor and a ceiling had to be replaced: all in all this is costing us so much money that I wonder whether we are really “adding value” and can sell it for a profit.
   
3. The building is just ugly. I try to ignore it but I can’t unsee it. Our view is great though, we look into a park but also another building in the same style. I just hate it. It’s also old, a neighbor told me there are some maintenance issues that might drive the price of the service costs soon.
   

I’m just scared I bought something that fitted our needs at the moment but isn’t something easy to sell again.
