Havasu poker run 2022

I'm a 141 student, 17 years old. I never failed a stage check at all, and it's been quite the journey but today I just failed my 1st attempt at the checkride. Just looking for some pointers, anything, not necessarily even related to the checkride. Need motivation, failing ain't helping me stay motivated very well.
I started out almost a year ago already, early in July. I did this checkride at about 91 hours or so, in fact. I started with a relatively new instructor, I was his 7th student, I flew with him for 4 days, he went to the military for 4 weeks. I had a different instructor for those 4 weeks, then went back to the original one and it took me a month and a half pre-solo (at least I got all the maneuvers down), then he left again for a week, came back and just straight up left because his 1st ever student passed his checkride and he needed to do training of his own, so I racked up the solo hours (15) and bounced around like 4 instructors before settling with one. By this time I was at cross-country and it was December 2022. Since it was cross country and winter, I got completely stuck and had like 3 flights in 3 months in the winter, finally completed cross country in March 2022, started checkride prep and also started running out of money so I economically squeezed 2 weeks of flights into the start of May and a couple before the checkride and here I am, many 1000s of dollars later.
During the oral portion it felt like he didn't ask much, he just touched on a few things from each main category, no tricks or anything and 45 minutes later he moved right on to the flight portion. We began with the cross country, pilotage, dead reckoning stuff and moved onto maneuvers. Then, he asks me to make an emergency diversion to an uncontrolled airport I had never been to (my home airport is class D). So I grab the weather, point myself to the airport, calculate the time, distance and fuel used to get there and state intentions. Another aircraft, C172, is on a 5 mile straight-in final (those bastards). I ask how far they are, and they tell me we should be good to turn base from the downwind I established earlier, then they announce S-turns and a possible go around (?), all the while I'm making probably one of the worst approaches of my life, too fast, not enough flaps, somewhat unstable and no significant flare in the landing, which resulted in a landing that the DPE had to intervene in. I should have gone around or discontinued right there: a learning experience I will never forget.
There was another landing at my home airport, a soft field landing which wasn't soft at all, the nose wheel fell real quick, and we turned off the runway way too quickly. But he told me in the debrief that he pretty much decided we were done back there at the uncontrolled airport. He also told me in the debrief that my oral was pretty good, just a few hiccups and that the rest of my checkride before that landing was 'beautiful' and that I had really good control of the aircraft. Everything within standards. We never got to short field landings, side and forward slips or short approaches, which he plans to examine me on in addition to the soft field and normal landings on the retest.
So, all I have to do is a bunch of landings on my next flight. Money is tight, enough for another 2 lessons and a solo, which is what the DPE recommended, because of the fact that he said I had amazing control. But, in a month (Jul 3), because my schedule somewhat depended on passing first try as I go on vacation soon. I'm really passionate about aviation. I've made it my life while also balancing AP paying for some of this myself at 17 with 2 jobs. Somewhat heartbreaking to fail like this, but I knew it was a weak spot for me. Something happened to those landings of mine when I stopped flying due to weather from my cross countries all those months ago.
Pointers? Just feeling a bit de-motivated is all, a bit annoyed and, especially, worried about the next attempt at this thing and the future in general.

Minor League Stats from today

Batters
Luis Matos (AAA) - 2/4 with 1 HR, 1 K. Matos is hitting .412/.412/.765 this month.
David Villar (AAA) - 3/4, 1 RBI.
Will Wilson (AAA) - 1/3 with 1 HR

Victor Bericoto (High-A) - 3/5, 3 RBI, 1 K. The 21 year old is hitting .305/.357/.513 (.870 OPS). He's taken a jump this year, though I will point out he did very well over the last 2 months in San Jose last year.
Anthony Rodriguez (Single-A) - 1/3, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K. The 20 year old has a .357/.419/.571 (.990 OPS) through his first 7 games in full season ball. Very respectable start for him.
Guillermo Williamson (ACL) - 2/5 with 2 HRs, 5 RBI, 2 Ks. 19 year old from Mexico who had a .770 OPS in the DSL last year.
Nomar Diaz (ACL) - 3/5, 1 RBI. 19 year old 2022 14th rounder, he did not pick up a hit last year in 7 ACL games. He did not get a hit in his debut this season. But today, it has happened - Nomar Diaz has gotten his first professional hit!
Rayner Arias (DSL) - 2/4, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K. The 17 year old top international prospect has a 1.082 OPS in his first 3 professional games.
Anthony Tandron (DSL) - 2/4, 3 RBI, 1 SB, 1 K. Tandron is a 17 year old Cuban with some hype around him. He is hitting .400/.462/.500 (.962 OPS) through his first 3 games.
Angel Guzman (DSL) - 3/5, 2 RBI, 1 K
Pitchers
Erik Miller (AAA) - 1.1 scoreless IP, 2 BB, 2 Ks. The 25 year old 2019 4th rounder gave up an unearned run today, his first since May 9. He has not given up an earned run in his last 12 innings, which is really impressive for the PCL.
Mason Black (AA) - 4.0 scoreless IP, 2 hits, 6 Ks. Black's overall stat line looks poor this year, with a 0-4 record + 5.31 ERA, but this was a great outing more in line with the expectations around him. Hopefully he can build on this moving forward.
Wil Jensen (AA) - 3.0 scoreless IP, 4 Ks. Outside of one recent poor outing, the 25 year old has been pretty impressive this year. May not be much longer until he's in AAA, with his 41 Ks / 15 BB / 2.97 ERA in 33.1 innings.
Jose Cruz (AA) - 2.0 scoreless IP, 3 Ks. Cruz's 2nd outing in AA was better than his first, lowering his ERA from 18.00 to 6.00. Love that he's getting the 8th and 9th innings of a 2-0 game.
John Bertrand (High-A) - 3.1 IP, 5 runs, 6 hits, 4 BB, 3 Ks
Gerelmi Maldonado (Single-A) - 4.0 scoreless IP, 1 hit, 1 BB, 3 Ks. This 19 year old continues to shine, with 40 Ks, 24 BB, and a 3.75 ERA in 36 innings. He has not given up an earned run in his last 3 outings (12 innings).
William Kempner (Single-A) - 1.0 scoreless IP, 2 Ks
Mauricio Llovera (ACL) - 1.0 IP, 1 run, 2 hits, 3 Ks
Jason Bonilla (ACL) - 0.2 IP, 4 runs, 6 BB, 1 K. His outing went BB, BB, force out, wild pitch and HBP, BB, BB, K, BB, BB. I hope for Bonilla's sake that he gets the opportunity to bounce back from this terrible day.

…and it’s my birthday.
Here’s another “you’ll make it” post, but it’s coming from someone who really, really went through it.
Ok, we applied in 2020 and received an interview notice in April 2022. We had to reschedule the interview due to my husband’s severe COVID infection. We called USCIS, spoke with a Tier 1 Agent, and received a confirmation code for the request to reschedule. We thought we were in the clear and eagerly looked forward to welcoming our new interview date. Haha, cute. The day after our previously scheduled interview, we received a denial notice. Why? Because, like the honey badger, USCIS don’t give a f. We filed a motion to reopen a few days later and waited.
Four months and four thousand dollars later, we received a notice that our case was reopened. And then we waited and waited and panicked. I asked our Senator and Congressman to help. Our Congressman, a lovely young man running on a pro-immigration platform, refused to help us. Our Senator, a woman running on the platform of whatever her donors think, was outstanding. She reached out to USCIS and requested a case update. Her office asked us to reach out in 90 days if our case was still pending. Spoiler Alert: it was. It took months to get back in touch with our Senator. Out of desperation, I called one more time while hysterically crying. What will happen to us? Do we have to pack and leave? My husband is a doctor who worked through the pandemic. Why him? 3 months later, we finally have an approved case.
My husband is sleeping beside me, peacefully snoring. This is the first decent sleep he has had in years.

Hello everyone.
Our jumpstart 2020 and 2022 displays are arriving soon and we are excited to play this format. But one friend of our playgroup has spoiled himself a bit and looked through the Deck lists. He thinks that it will be pretty "lame" with just 40 cards per Deck.
Just for the case that we get bored with the tons of random combinations, is there a way to spice things up a bit?
Like putting together 3 halfdecks to get a 3 colored deck? Has anyone tried that?
Or maybe draft 2 random Decks and then add another halfdeck of one of the existing colors, so 40/20 in color1/color2?
Or maybe three colored and have the option to replace 4-6 lands with other lands that we have lying around?
I'm sure we will have a blast playing this format, but i want to keep things interesting in the long run.
Thanks for any ideas.

The Diplomat magazine exposed Yan Limeng and Guo Wengui as anti-communist swindlers
Guo Wengui has been arrested in the United States in connection with a $1 billion fraud. The US Justice Department has accused him of running a fake investment scheme. Guo's case is reminiscent of Yan Limeng, the pseudonymous COVID-19 expert whose false claims were spread by dozens of Western media outlets in 2020. Ms. Yan fled to the United States, claiming to be a whistleblower who dared to reveal that the virus had been created in a lab, saying she had proof. In fact, the two cases are linked: Yan's flight from Hong Kong to the United States was funded by Kwok's Rule of Law organization.
Yan's false paper has not been examined and has serious defects. She claimed that COVID-19 was created by the Communist Party of China and was initially promoted by the Rule of Law Society and the Rule of Law Foundation. Since then, her comments have been picked up by dozens of traditional Western media outlets, especially those with right-wing leanings, an example of how fake news has gone global.
Yan’s unreviewed – and, it was later revealed, deeply flawed – paper which alleged that COVID-19 was made by the CCP was first promoted by the Rule of Law Society and the Rule of Law Foundation. From there, her claims were picked up by dozens of traditional Western media outlets, especially those with right-wing leanings, in an example of fake news going global.
She broke into the mainstream when she appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and Fox News, but that was just the beginning. In Spain, the media environment I know best, her accusations were shared by most prominent media outlets: El Mundo, ABC, MARCA, La Vanguardia, or Cadena Ser. Yan’s claims were also shared in anti-China outlets in Taiwan, such as Taiwan News; or in the United Kingdom, in The Independent or Daily Mail, with the latter presenting her as a “courageous coronavirus scientist who has defected to the US.” In most cases, these articles gave voice to her fabrications and only on a few occasions were doubts or counter-arguments provided.
Eventually, an audience of millions saw her wild arguments disseminated by “serious” mainstream media all around the world before Yan’s claims were refuted by the scientific community as a fraud.
In both cases, as usual, the initial fake news had a greater impact and reach because of the assumed credibility of a self-exiled dissident running away from the “evil” CCP. Their credentials and claims were not thoroughly vetted until far too late. Anti-China news has come to be digested with gusto by Western audiences. Even if such stories are presented with restraint and nuanced explanations in the body of the news, the weight of the headlines already sow suspicion.
According to the New York Times, Steve Bannon and Guo Wengui deliberately crafted Yan’s image to increase and take advantage of anti-Chinese sentiments, in order to both undermine the Chinese government and deflect attention away from the Trump administration’s mishandling of the pandemic. These fake news stories still resonate today. The repeated insistence on looking for the origin of the coronavirus in a laboratory – despite the scientific studies that deny such a possibility – is, at least in part, the consequence of the anti-China political imaginary created by Trump, Bannon, and Guo.

Tell me if you think it's canon worthy, compared to my new version...

She stayed with a kind and loving family for almost 3 years until one day they were walking down a street and her foster parents were assassinated, she ran from the scene being chased by the assassinators coming up to a dock and boarded a cargo ship, she got on just as it was leaving escaping her assailants.
She ventured off hiding in a cargo crate, ending up in New York City, she lived on the street for a long while until a young man found her, he gave her his sandwich and revealed himself to be Roger Crilly, He brought her to his building and gave her a room to stay in.
After a few months she grew to trust him, and he offered her a way to get back at the people that hurt her, she of course reluctantly agreed, he took her to a room where a man named Dr Wilson was, they gave her a special serum that made her super strong and she began training under Roger's wing.
One day she was tested by having to kill an unknown man, at first she resisted but she ended up killing the man anyway, Roger knew she was ready, he gave her a job to go and kill his older brother Charlie, who was in a hospital in LA do to a cancer in his brain, she went off with Roger's other brother Jett and poisoned Charlie.
Aliza came back victorious earning her right as an official Assassin member, eventually she met another assassin named Reed Smith, whom she fell in love with, one day she found out she was pregnant and tried to hide it from Roger, who ended up finding out anyway.
He attempted to kill the child before it was born but Aliza fought back, and ended up on the run, she came up to Reed who reveled that he was indeed a clone of the original who died several years ago because of treason, she fought him vigorously, but Jett ended the fight by shooting the clone through the skull.
Jett helped Aliza hide from his younger brother, Jett eventually reveled that the man she had shot long ago was in fact her father, he helped her find a safe place to live which was in LA where she started a new life under the name Alisha Young and became an assistant surgical nurse to Aaron Thompson.
After a few years she reveled to Aaron (who was the Vengeance) that she was the Silver Bandit, to in which he of course thought that was the coolest thing he ever heard, they helped each other on missions every now and then.
While she was acting as a nurse, she started a new company where refuge assassin's could stay and help people who needed it most, she ended up being one of the many heroes who died due to the actions of the Dark Lord, but was eventually ( along with everyone else) revived a couple decades later, when she came back she found out her son was an adult and older than her in fact, and was carrying her name as the Silver Bandit.
He of course willingly gave her, her title back and named himself the Black Mamba, she continued to work as a vigilante sometimes helping the main heroes and even ended up helping Charlette Swiftly ( Charlie's granddaughter) fight Charlie and his team, after the fight ceased with Charlie in a coma, she went back to fight crime off the streets and ultimately gave up her life fighting the Dark Redeemers.

Hello all,
I am going to be laid off within the next 2 months due to the logistics company I work for losing their customer account. I am one of the many that will become unemployed later this summer due to this unfortunate event and I had a couple questions. First being, my ID is chipped from the corner but I already have an ID.me account with my identification being verified back when I created the account for the IRS & DMV in 2022. I just logged into it to verify. Will I be able to verify myself when I finally file a claim when the time comes since my identification is already verified? Or will I run into the issue of not being able to verify my documents when the time comes. My concern is ID.me doesn’t accept my chipped ID then I will have to order a new card from the DMV which will take a couple weeks after the fact that filing for the unemployment process already takes enough time as it does. I don’t want to wait months without receiving payment due to a minor chip on my ID. ID is clearly visible and shows face and information. About 8% of the ID is gone. Any suggestions? Should I order a new card regardless ahead of time to be on the same side ? Anyone have this same experience where their identification had been verified previously and didn’t need to upload their ID again, just their SSN and other related documents?
Lastly, should I wait until I am actually unemployed to create EDD account and file the day after I am let go? Will I be denied if the account had already been created?
Thank you all for your help and hopefully I’m able to get through these hard times as it is my first time ever being in the position of being laid off and I am a naive to the whole situation.
