2023.06.02 07:51 Misfit_666 How to Play MANHUNT 1 & 2, and the Best Ways to do It Guide.

Howdy, folks! I've decided to write up a guide on which releases of MANHUNT and MANHUNT 2 are the best to play and how you can play them!
I'm gonna assume that everyone here is familiar enough with the games that I won't go into detail about the games in general, so I'll keep this guide to solely explaining which releases of MANHUNT and MANHUNT 2 are the best to play, and how to play them. This guide will not explain how to play either game on every platform they were released, but the platforms that I personally believe they are best played on.
Let's begin!
MANHUNT
Playstation 2: The original platform MANHUNT was released on is the PS2, and of course, it's still the best way to play the game, if you haven't already. MANHUNT PS2 copies are readily available via online stores like EBay, Facebook Marketplace and other retro gaming websites for an affordable price. If the online options don't work out, then check your local used video/game store. Or...mod it onto your PS2? Idk how to do that, so moving on!
Xbox One/One S-X/Series S-X: Coming in at second place for the best way to play MANHUNT today is the re-released version of MANHUNT on modern Xbox consoles. I have not played the game to completion on these consoles, but the game looks good and functions as it should, which is saying more than you can for the PS5 re-release... On my Xbox One X, the game runs fine, plays as it should and has the best graphics/image quality out of every console release. Really, it looks good! A solid platform to play MANHUNT on if you don't have a PS2.
PC: And in last place, we have the PC release of MANHUNT... Which, as I understand it, has been broken since the day it came out. With that being said, this is obviously my least recommended platform to play MANHUNT on. If you have no other option, then I recommend buying the game on Steam and fixing it with mods, including the couple that I will link to in the comments. Doing so will get ye a decent release of MANHUNT to play around with, but still, I recommend the PS2 and Xbox releases, if you're not too keen on the mods.
Alrighty, with MANHUNT out of the way, we can move onto MANHUNT 2.
MANHUNT 2
PC: Unlike the first game, PC is actually the best platform to play the second game on, hands down. The only thing is, though, is that MANHUNT 2 is banned in a lot of places, so you can't just buy it on Steam or GoG and call it a day, unfortunately. Luckily, it's not that difficult to get the game and play it. You can easily find the game and a ton of mods to go with it, including mods that uncensor the execution cut scenes, as well as add in previously cut content and much more. Now, despite the hassle it maybe to play this game on PC, I wouldn't just tell you this is a guide on how to play things, then leave out telling you how to play them, so let's get into that next.
HOW TO PLAY MH2 ON PC
Alrighty. This isn't going to be a super ball buster of a process, but it is going to be a process. Below, I will detail a step-by-step guide on how to play the Uncensored/Modded PC release of MANHUNT 2.
First of all, you'll need the game files and all that jazz, so check the links I've commented below this post, and follow along with the steps, downloading the files as you move onto the next step.
  1. Download the game files from the link provided, and make absolutely, positively sure that you download the file just below it labeled, "NOCD", because we'll need it for the next step.
  2. Find and open your MH2 directory, so that it displays all the folders therein, then open up the NOCD files folder to the side of it. All ye gotta do is drag and drop the .exe file from the NOCD files folder into the MH2 directory, overwrite as needed, then you're done. This will replace the original .exe file with the NOCD .exe file; this is necessary, because launching the original .exe file will prompt you with a screen that requires you to enter an access key to play the game at all, and that's really lame.
  3. Okay, you could go ahead and call it here. But...don't you want the uncensored executions? The cut executions, the cut dialogue and all the goodies that you'd be missing out on if you stopped reading this part of the guide now? Yeah, let's get into how you can return MANHUNT 2 to it's former glory.
  4. This step is for the PS2 Beta Mod/Uncensored and extended executions mod. I do want to say this specific mod I have is older and there are other mods that might accomplish the same thing, but we'll stick with this one. Anyway, find the link below, download it, read the description below the download, then come on back. Alrighty, this one is pretty simple, too, just a lot more dragging and dropping. Open the folders side by side, just like before, then manually drag and drop each folder (EXCEPT the levels folders) from the BetaMod folder into the MH2 directory, overwriting as needed, then you're done. The reason I made an exception for the levels folders is because they are levels that were cut/whatever else, so playing them first may not be what you want. You decide!
  5. This step is for the Ermaccer Manhunt 2 plug in, which is a plug in mod that enhances Manhunt 2 in several ways. I highly recommend this as an essential plug in mod, and I also recommend looking around Ermaccers GitHub page to learn more about it and the many other mods they've made for Manhunt 1 & 2. This is the easiest one, so are ye ready? Just download the file and extract to the MH2 directory. Donezo.
    Sheweeeee, we're almost done! Now, you really can call it a day if you're satisfied, but before you settle too soon, I want to encourage you to search up the head juice load of mods that have been made for both of these games. There are a lot, and their purposes vary from just fixing the games, enhancing graphics and FPS, to being able to change your character skin, add an FOV slider and much more. Definitely look around Ermaccers GitHub and the other sites that will be yielded from a Google search of, "Manhunt 1/2 mods".
    That's it! You can double click that bad boyah and get 'er going. Like I said, though, definitely check out some other mods that could enhance your gameplay!
    Now, let's briefly talk about the other releases of Manhunt 2.
    PS2/PSP/Wii/Android: I won't be explaining how to play these releases, because I don't care. MANHUNT 2 played on any platform that isn't PC is a disservice to yourself, in my opinion. The PS2 release, as well as the other two console releases are censored/cut, which makes them unplayable to me. I recently purchased a copy of MANHUNT 2 for PS2 just to have it and try it out, and it is just...awful. The censoring of the executions makes them almost unbearable to look at, which maybe the point? I don't know the point, but I do know that it hurts my eyes, and that I'd rather not play it. Of course, if you have no other option or just want to experience MANHUNT 2 on the PS2 like I did, then by all means, try out one of these releases, and I hope that you enjoy it!
    Aaaand now we're done! I hope this helps some folks wanting to play MANHUNT, mostly the second one, because the first one didn't get banned into abandonware lmao. If you have any questions or would like to add your own recommendations, then please do so in the comments!
Take it easy!

2023.06.02 07:51 jeniquejacobs Health Insurance Shopping 101: Red Flags to Watch For

Health insurance policies are one of those things where you get exactly what you pay for. However, it’s fairly easy to be tricked into believing you’re getting great coverage. Here are certain things to watch for and key questions to ask to avoid enrolling into inadequate health plans that risk leaving you in financial ruin.
Short-Term Plans These plans are designed as TEMPORARY coverage for individuals in certain transitionary periods, like waiting for employer plan coverage to begin after getting a new job. Policies need to be renewed every 30-90 days in most states, at which point deductibles and coverage amounts start over and anything you received treatment for under during the previous policy period is considered a pre-existing condition. An important thing to remember here is that short-term plans DO NOT cover pre-existing conditions/injuries. These plans involve medical underwriting, which is not a problem by itself as it gives healthy individuals the opportunity of preferred rates. The problem is the underwriting is done at the time of a claim, giving the company full freedom to deny any charges. Most Short-Term plans have lifetime policy maximums on benefits of $1 million. Meaning if you run into a major claim and surpass that max, any excess is left for you to pay for. The network for these plans is extremely limited, if it even exists at all. Short-Term agents are deceptive and often use high pressure techniques to trick consumers and plan exclusions and limitations are frequently left untold. •Key questions: What’s my policy maximum benefit amount? What are the exclusions and limitations? What are the company credentials?
https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-shortterm-health-insurance-consumer-problems-20190402-story.html
Discount Plans These plans work like a coupon at the grocery store and provide no benefits, they are not insurance. If you have a medical bill of $100,000, it may knock it down to $70,000 but that’s all it’s doing. Scammers promise a large network of providers who will give “large discounts” to plan members but don’t follow through with those promises. These agents are bottom of the barrel and won’t hesitate to lie about coverages. They also base the enrollment fee off of how much they think they can get you for and require payment upfront. If you talk to an agent for any policy and and the enrollment or initiation fee is higher than $100–run. •Key questions: What’s the name of the network? What are the company credentials? Is the company registered and licensed to sell health insurance in your state? What are my benefits?

Not all options outside of the ACA are scams, but these two definitely are. If you find yourself with any questions regarding the legitimacy of your health insurance, reach out to me.

2023.06.02 07:50 midlife_slacker Do D4 skill choices feel "good"?

Been playing a lot of D3 in the past few months, and a stark difference I see is that D3 builds never feel like they need an extra active ability but have no free slots to use one.
Part is obviously because of how many D3 builds didn't need a resource builder, so D4 is down a button right off the bat. But they also had great synergies built up so that you could handle both AOE & single-target situations. Sometimes that needed 2 separate spender abilities, that was an easy tradeoff to make by sacrificing one of the other slots D4 sees as 'standard'.
D4's forced buildespender is trying to make resources feel like they matter again, but that ability slot combined with all the passive bonuses steering you into using a single ability school doesn't look that fun. The only class I see with any build diversity is druid double-were and that only works because it has a whole extra key passive talent dedicated to that style.

2023.06.02 07:50 Touch-Potential UDR Payment Portal Hell

I'm incredibly frustrated at the moment. I've been learning the ins and outs of the UDR for the past couple days. I see SO MUCH good stuff and a few WTFs. Namely Hot Spot Payment Providers.
First I tried Stripe and found it totally doesn't work. I'm sure it did 10 years ago but it doesn't today. The stripe API doesn't allow credit cards numbers to be sent to it. It wants tokens which UI doesn't do. It's also a legacy API.
So next I play with Authorize.NET. I'm actually able to get it working! So then I do a bunch of bandwidth management configuration and testing. At this point everything looks great. And then the UDR does a network application upgrade. My hotspot payment is now broken.
The "imrprovements" in the 7.4.156 release notes are:
This device is now 100% useless for the pupose we bought it. Sure, I could do a factory reset, reconfigure everything the way it was, take a backup and disable auto updates but why would I possibly want to have a firewall/router deployed to production that isn't being patched?
Sorry if I'm ventinghere but I just can't wrap my head around how polished of a product this seems to be and yet how poorly they make such decisions.
Please tell me this is temporary and a roadmap exists to address this or please tell me what other products exist in the market that I should look at next. I'm working on a really cool project and want to find something that works.
Thanks,
Just a guy with 27 years experience in enterprise infrastructure but not a network engineer.

2023.06.02 07:49 JJW2795 Land of the North Wind: Chapter 8

Yay, new chapter is (finally) out! Only took a damn month. Why must May be so busy? At least I've managed to get chapter 9 mostly done as well, so that will be locked and loaded soon. Then I'm hoping to pick up the pace a bit.
Anyways, in this chapter both the snow wolves and Tostig plan their next moves, and the decisions made will affect the Ulstads.
As always, this story can be read up to the current chapter in both fanfiction and AO3 if you'd prefer those sites to reading all the text on reddit.

Banishment
Tostig looked out at this city under siege. Part of him felt for his people, but at the same time they could not be allowed to bow to wolves. He would not bow to wolves and their demands. They were lesser, and they were rivals who were only useful for labor and trade in times of peace. And yet, the situation they were in now was not sustainable and everyone knew it. Just then, the door to his chamber was opened and his lead counselor, his right hand, stepped into the room.
“You wished to see me, my lord?”
Tostig took a sip from his wine chalice before turning away from his window and walking over to his desk with slow, deliberate steps. Upon locking eyes with his trusted advisor, the lord gave a small smile.
“Yes. I was hoping you’d have an inventory of our supplies ready to discuss.”
The counselor stepped forward, producing a stack of documents that had been written up by scribes. “Of course, my lord. Here are the inventory lists on the items you requested. Firewood, coal, wine, ale, spirits, bread, and meat are all right here.”
The counselor then placed the lists in his lord’s outstretched hands.
Tostig then got to the point of their meeting, “but all of these lists are to answer a single question. Do we have enough supplies to make it until spring?”
His counselor lowered his head and shook it slowly, “No sir. We’ll be out two months before the first ships can make safe harbor at the coast.”
Tostig sighed. “Then it’ll have to be done.”
“Are you sure, my Lord?”
“What choice do I have? We tried leaving, we tried getting necessary supplies, and even rations won’t carry us through the entire winter.”
“Those poor souls…”
“The keidran, overall, are tough beasts. And if you ask me, some of them played a hand in this whole mess, I just know it.”
“In what way could they be responsible, sir?” The counselor asked, confused.
“You really think every keidran in this town wants to be serving humans in some way or another? Their brethren are outside the walls, likely promising them a place of refuge for themselves and their slave relatives back east if they help the snow wolves kick us out.”
“That seems unlikely, my Lord.”
“Even if I’m wrong about their loyalties, the fact is keidran are more disposable than men. I can do without all these extra servants and menial laborers, but I’m going to need my miners and loggers when the snow clears, and the crown sends the best troops in Mekkan to our aid.”
“Your will is my command, sir. I’ll have Gerrick gather all his guardsmen in the great hall this evening. We’ll need every able-bodied member of the garrison.”
“Very good. Also, please send for the healer. These headaches… that medicine hasn’t been working.”
“Of course, my lord. Right away.”
The sun was setting on another day of the town under siege. The wolves had not made any moves to attack the walls, but why would they? They controlled the land and sea for hundreds of miles in every direction. A counsel of the elders was called in the camp overlooking the settlement. In the middle of the camp was a large, portable lodge made from thick timbers cut in the Snowy Pines. The frame was bound tightly by many hides, proving insulation and blocking the fierce winds that would often sweep across the tundra. Normally, settlements were permanent, but some wolves that had ventured into human territory took notes on how their rivals conducted war, and moveable houses were the answer to navigating across harsh country that was so brutal even the ever-adaptable humans had yet to conquer.
Outside the lodge entrance waited a tall, young snow wolf. Icy-white hair was bound tightly into a knot under a hat of seal fur. Extra layers of fur helped to protect the wolf from the elements, as even in winter the temperatures were colder than any canine could safely withstand. Blue eyes pierced through the growing darkness, a slight glow from his mana crystal necklace giving his face some soft illumination. He was waiting, watching for someone. Others came into the lodge one and two at a time. After a while, the young wolf was beginning to worry. “Where could he be?” The thought.
Just then a lone figure hobbled into view. A snow wolf much like him seemed to materialize out of the blowing snow that cut the visibility down significantly. Now only the glow of Callow could be seen in the distance. The old wolf, walking with a cane, finally found his way to the entrance.
“Grandfather, I was getting worried about you. You know I could help you up the hill, right?”
“Oh, don’t trouble yourself Bjorn. I might be almost as old as the wood holding that lodge together, but I can still find my way around camp. Now, let’s get inside, shall we?”
“Of course grandpa…” Bjorn then held the entrance to the lodge open so his frail kin could make his way inside where it was warm.
Following his grandfather inside, Bjorn was hit immediately with the warmth of a fire, fueled by wood brought in from the forest by sled, most of it cut down courtesy of the logging teams they had chased out a month earlier. The glow from his mana crystals was quickly overtaken by the bright, orange light of the fire. The young wolf removed most of his outer garments, placing them on the ground to use as a seat. He sat down behind where his grandfather had made himself comfortable. As an elder, the old wolf held one of the seats in the clans moot, the council of elders that had assembled to deal with the human problem.
All inside the lodge waited silently as their shaman conjured magical light structures from her crystal necklace in a ceremony to purify the air. The lights were dazzling. Bjorn’s favorite was seeing a replication of the night sky, a spell which was meticulously maintained through the generations showing each visible star as well as the moon. Another spell finished the ceremony, seemingly purging the air from the lodge, the fire reducing to embers, only to roar back to life as new, fresh air came in to fill the vacuum. It was then that the shaman gave a special blessing and prayer to each of the council members before taking her seat in the back as an observer. The five wolves then allowed for a silent pause to pass over all in attendance before beginning.
The designated leader of the council, tasked with mediating the clans moot, broke the silence, “my friends, our actions this winter may ensure the survival of our people and way of life, but one misstep and we will surely suffer greatly for our actions against the humans.”
A graying elder from the clan west of Widow Lake then saw fit to add in his thoughts. “Indeed, Bragi, but I believe our actions so far have been successful. The humans and their keidran servants have been completely cut off from their homeland and their king. No one will be able to help them until the snow leaves.”
Frey, the elder representing the clan at the split between the Widow and Pines rivers then spoke, “My warriors were successful in destroying any attempts by the humans to reach the sea. I’ve seen some of the bodies from their first attempt, and I believe that many of their most capable are dead. We ought to press an attack while we still have an advantage in the snow.”
Garth, Bjorn’s grandfather, and widely held to be one of the wisest elders in the North, urged caution. “It is true, Frey, that your warriors have slain many humans who could defend the walls, but many more are still inside. We’ve all seen the patrols along the top of the wall. Besides that, your warriors let one boat get away in the humans’ first attempt to summon help, didn’t they?”
Frey was forced to admit the mistake. “You are right, Garth, one did manage to slip away in the night. My warriors say they followed a light they thought was a lantern from the boat, but it was something else. It was alive, but they could not get a good look at it, and the light they followed led them into a sand bank. But a large storm hit shortly after. Surely, none survived.”
Garth had a different thought. “I would not so easily discredit these humans. Sure, they lack our fur, but they are adaptable creatures. I’ve seen with my own eyes the mines they’ve built. If they can bring the heart of Mekkan to the surface, their best may be able to survive winter.”
Bragi, always one to listen to a wolf with so much experience, wanted to know how this would affect their plans. “Garth, do you think the humans would bring reinforcements?”
“Assuming they survived, it could happen.”
Frey wasn’t as convinced. “Even if that one crew did manage to make it to the coast, it would still be months before the humans could bring an army to our shores. But that is all the more reason to find a way into the city.”
The last wolf in the council had been silent up until then. He was the youngest, though his offspring were still well into adulthood. He had earned a reputation as one of the best strategists among the snow wolves, having to regularly repel attempts by the forest wolves to gain more territory along the southern border. “An attack on the walls would be a failure. One does not kill a bear by fighting it on its terms. To kill a bear, one must outsmart it, and force the creature to fight in a way it is not used to.”
“So we should do nothing then?” Frey surmised, but the younger wolf shook his head.
“No, the wall is a bear. If we simply run up to it, our warriors will all die. But if we can find a weakness or fight the humans in a way they are not used to, then we will have the advantage.”
Garth then added is trademark advice of caution. “Though we must be patient, my friends. There will be an opportunity before spring arrives. As the weather gets colder and the snow gets deeper, our advantages will grow.”
Bragi then came to a possible plan of action. “I know Tostig. Once desperate enough, he will want an open battle where his trained guards can win, even in the snow. It would be too great of a risk to meet him in such a battle, but we could bait him to it.”
The wolf from Widow Lake then had an idea of his own. “My warriors could conduct raids on the humans’ stashes of firewood and supplies. There are some close enough to the walls that they can be reached. Once the humans start getting cold, they will be forced to either submit or do battle.”
Bragi nodded in agreement. “Do we have a plan then?”
All nodded and prepared to cast their vote when a shout from outside the lodge alerted the gathered snow wolves. A guard rushed in to deliver the news. The Shaman stood up upon this intrusion. “A clans moot is a sacred gathering, outsiders are not permitted unless invited. Child, why have you trespassed?”
The guard was gasping for air after running for a couple of miles to the main camp. “Apologies… humans… outside the wall.”
Perhaps the battle was coming after all? Bragi then stood. “Garth, have your grandson take your best warriors to trap these humans. This may be the beginning of the very battle Tostig would try to arrange.”
Garth then looked behind him at his nephew and nodded. “Go, Bjorn, I’ll find my way back. Be safe.”
Garth bowed his head slightly in respect of the others. “Thank you all for permitting me to the clans moot. I will track down and subdue these humans before they can cause trouble.”
With a wave of Bragi’s hand, Garth then exited the lodge with the guard and ran toward the main camp to find as many warriors as he could at a moment’s notice.
The Ulstads were preparing a dinner of rations in the empty tavern when a knock came from the front door. Anna Marie, who was closest, stopped sweeping to open the door. She was surprised by the evening visitor. “Sam, whatchya doin’ here at such an hour? We’re ya joinin’ fer dinner?”
Sam didn’t answer as he came into the foyer, but the look on his face told everyone that something was wrong. Liz stood up and quickly made her way to Sam, with Shadow and Asher close behind. Ivan leaned his head out from the kitchen. Liz took Sam’s hand in hers and looked him in the eyes. “Sam, what is it? News from Connor?”
Sam just shook his head. “I’m sorry Liz, I wish it was.”
Shadow then asked in a more direct voice. “Then what is it? You look pale.”
“It’s Tostig. He’s… well, he’s given the guard an order.”
“Come on, Sam, out with it?” Shadow said, worry seeping into her words. Sam took a deep breath to collect himself. They needed to know.
“Tostig has ordered every non-human in Callow… he’s banished them from the town.”
A thick, baritone voice boomed from the kitchen. “What?” A look of horror came across Asher’s face. Shadow too was shocked.
“Like Ivan said, ‘what?’” The leopard could hardly believe what she had heard.
“Liz, Miss Marie, you are both allowed to stay. But guards are going door to door right now and rounding up all the keidran. Shadow and Asher, you had better collect what you can before they arrive. I’ll escort you both personally so that neither of you have a hand laid on you.”
Anna wouldn’t have it. “They’s just as much people as us, Sam. Shadow, you and the boy should hide in the cellar. Ivan, get the darn hammer.”
“No Anna.” Shadow replied, letting it sink in. “We can’t just hide in the tavern all winter. Besides, what happens when you get caught?”
Sam had the unfortunate answer to that one. “Tostig has also ordered that anyone caught hiding keidran will be burned at the stake.”
That caused Anna and Liz to recoil at the thought of their own fate. It was more than enough for Shadow to make up her mind. “Come on Asher, we had better put on whatever clothes we can before— “just then, another knock came from the door, this one far more stern than before.
“Shit, they’re here already. I thought there’d be more time. Shadow, you can Asher meet Ivan in the back, I’ll get you three to the eastern gate.” Sam said before going to answer the door with Anna Marie. Asher didn’t quite understand all that was happening. He knew human well enough now, but things were progressing quickly for a seven-year-old. But Shadow quickly grabbed his hand and led them both into the room with Liz close behind. Once inside the room, Liz, locked the door to buy them at least a few more seconds.
Shadow, having been trained by assassins in the guild, wasn’t terribly concerned for herself. But being forced to leave Liz? She hoped that Anna Marie would keep the girl safe. Asher though was in trouble if they were being forced into the tundra. Her first thought then was to make sure the boy had as many warm clothes on as she could find.
“Here Asher, put this on, quickly.”
“I don’t want to leave, Shadow!”
“I don’t either, but we don’t have a choice. Sooner or later we’d be caught and thrown outside the walls anyway. Now bundle up as best you can be—”
Loud knocking came from the bedroom wall. “We know there are keidran in here! Open the door and come with us.”
Liz went up to the door to buy as much time as she could. “Just a minute!”
“Open it now woman!” Was the reply, but that was closely followed by Sam’s voice. “Hey, I’m highest rank here and I happen to know the two you’re after. Let me handle this and you two should continue down the stre—”
“Not a chance Sam, we’ve got orders from your father.”
“Then at least go get Ivan. Shadow and Asher aren’t going to put up a fight.”
Two more guards could be heard struggling to push the big wolf out into the street, and the intensity of the struggle caused the two guards standing near the room door to reconsider pushing their luck with someone who outranks them.
“Very well, they’ve got two minutes. If they aren’t out by then, we’re going to break the door down.”
Sam then moved to the side to let the two guards pass by.
Liz’s muffled voice came from behind the door “Are they gone?”
“Yeah, for the moment.”
A minute later, the door’s latch was undone, and it creaked open. Shadow and Asher had their wool jumpers on, along with whatever clothes they could find. Shadow was even wearing a pair of Connor’s pants. They were a bit tight but provided some extra insulation. Liz then followed the two, closing the door behind them.
“Why is this happening, Sam?” Liz asked.
“Apparently, we don’t have enough supplies to last the winter. So either everyone starves…”
“…Or the keidran freeze to death.” Shadow finished for Sam.
“Basically, yes. But you don’t have to freeze to death, there’s shelter that you can use, as well as food stores.”
“Where?” Shadow interrogated. Asher’s life as well as her own was on the line.”
“You’ll have to slip passed the wolves, but there are food stores and shelters in the new mining district across the river. It’s on the other side of Ditter’s Ridge.”
“Wolves?!” Shadow exclaimed. “How am I and the kid going to slip passed an army of wolves? They’d see us miles away!”
“I don’t know. I suggest hiding until the wind kicks up, the blowing snow will provide you with cover.”
The three stressed faces, Shadow’s looking like she was ready to murder, all stared at Sam.
“Look, this is a bad situation. I wish there was more I could do, but there isn’t. Tostig is Jarl, and his word is the law. If he says you must go, then you must go. If you try to stay, he could have us all executed.”
“Would your father allow that?”
“Tostig would execute my father too if that’s what it took to keep order in this town. I’m sorry, I really am, but—”
“But you’re doing whatever you can…” Liz grabbed and held Sam’s hand. “Is there a path or a tunnel or something that they can use to get around the wolves?”
“No, there isn’t. Look, you’ll have to move as quickly as you can. I’ll send help as soon as I’m able to, but right now this is your best chance of surviving.”
“Fine…” Shadow said, defeated and out of options. “Come on Asher, we had better go.”
The boy had other ideas “I don’t want to leave Liz! I want to wait here for Connor!”
“Connor…” Shadow thought. She tried to put it past her mind, but Liz knelt down in front of the boy.
“Asher, Connor isn’t coming back.” She said, tears forming in her eyes. “It’s been a month, and as much as I wish he’d bust into the tavern right now like he did with both of you back in the spring, it’s not going to happen. You need to leave with Shadow, she’ll keep you safe.”
“What about you?” Asher said, sniffling.
“I’ve got Anna Marie and Sam here to help. But you can’t stay here or Tostig would—”
“Kill us…” Asher said.
“I know we aren’t the closest, but Connor called you his brother, so I do too. Go, while you still can.” She then stood up. Before she could say anything else, Shadow embraced the girl.
“I’m sorry that I won’t be there to keep you safe.” Shadow said.
“It’s okay. But if you two stick together, we’ll all look back at this like a bad memory.”
“One of many bad memories.”
Sam knew time was up. “We better leave before those two assholes return. I’ll show you out a side entrance.”
Shadow and Liz let go of each other, and Shadow grabbed Asher’s hand before they both fled into the back alley behind Sam. The winding pathways between buildings eventually led them to a small door near the east gate. Shadow could see around the side of a building all the keidran being pushed out through the main gate. After looking around to make sure no one was watching, Sam produced a key, which began to glow as he recited an incantation. A hidden door nested into the wall glowed around the seal before opening, revealing a short tunnel to the outside.
“It’s one of the many emergency doorways out of the town. Only the guards have access, and most don’t know about them.”
Shadow, though impressed by the trickery, was hardly thrilled to be forced out of the walls. “If Connor ever comes back…”
“I hope he does, but for right now, you’re better off outside than inside.” Sam finished for Shadow, gesturing outside the wall.”
“Make sure nothing happens to Liz. Or I’ll find my way back,” Shadow lifted Sam off his feet and pinned him to the wall, “and burn this town to the ground with you in it.”
“I’ll protect her with my life if I must. You have my word. Now please, get out of here before someone sees me helping you.”
Shadow dropped Sam back to his feet, took Asher’s hand, and ducked through the hole in the wall. Once through, Sam closed the magic door with his key before slipping through an alley and joining the rest of the guards. Young ones were crying, old ones were being forcefully pushed, and at least one who tried to resist was savagely beaten. The guard was there to maintain order no matter the cost. After several minutes and much effort, the last keidran was shoved past the threshold. As the iron gate lowered from the ceiling, a couple of keidran made an attempt to get back into the town. But just as they were about to get through the inner gate, out of the crowd came several guards with crossbows. Without hesitation, their lieutenant gave the order to fire. In front of both humans and keidran, all those who tried to get through were cut down and left to die in the zwinger between the two gates. Their intentions made clear, the remaining keidran quickly fled from the walls just as guards took their positions along the walkway at the top.
Shadow couldn’t see what happened, but she could certainly hear it. Keeping Asher close, she used her skills at stealth to skirt along the bottom of the wall undetected. Asher at one point tried to say something but she quickly hushed him before continuing. Finding and avenue out in a blind spot from the guards, Shadow quickly moved past the ground torches could illuminate, finding safety in the darkness. Luckily, it was a clear night and Shadow could easily make out where the keidran had stopped. They looked to be in the process of scattering as keidran tended to do. They weren’t a clan or a tribe, instead they were in groups of individuals who knew each other. Shadow a year ago would have left them all to their fate, content to find the shelter she was informed of and waiting until spring. But now… now she could see scared children, elderly who wouldn’t make it two days in the winter snow, and many who were scared and confused, all in need of help.
“What are we going to do?” Asher asked, clutching onto her leg and looking up to her for guidance. He too was quite scared.
Shadow sighed, collecting herself. “We’re going to help them, Asher, and we’re going to survive.”
Just as the keidran were about to venture off in every direction imaginable, Shadow climbed up onto a rock and, illuminated by the moon, called for everyone’s attention. No one really seemed to care, at least until a loud, baritone voice cut through the air. Shadow looked to her side only to find a beaten and bloody Ivan standing near the rock, apparently having seen the pair in the cold. At once, everyone looked back toward the three figures next to and on top of the large glacial boulder.
“Good. Now everyone listen up! I’ve been told that there are stores of food and supplies as well as shelter across the river to the East. If we move now, we can be there by dawn, but we have to stick together, or we’ll all die.”
While some seemed ready to go, others weren’t sure. Arguing began between different individuals. Some wanted to make for the Snowy Pines, mostly the wolves. A few wanted to try and get over the mountain pass and into warmer country. Still others were talking about forcing their way back into Callow. None were, realistically, good options. But before consensus could be reached, or a complete breakdown in the large group of at least four hundred keidran, snow wolves approached from all sides, weapons at the ready. Out from the darkness emerged a big wolf, nearly as big as Ivan, wearing polar bear fur and brandishing a long spear.
Keidran tried to run but were quickly cut off. The group of exiles was completely encircled by several hundred strong warriors from the different clans. Bjorn then noticed something odd in the moonlight. Between all the people that they captured, only a handful had anything more than a knife. Certainly no weapons of war, and plenty were half-naked and freezing.
“Where are your weapons?”
“What do you mean?” A tigress asked. “We have none.”
“Then what is this? Are you all trying to run away or something? You’ll freeze out here.” Bjorn bellowed. A young child then pushed his way to the front. It was Asher, the only basitin in the group. “W-we were kicked out, sir.”
“Kicked out?”
Ivan and Shadow came out from the crowd, quickly finding Asher. Shadow grabbed the boy and held onto him tight in case things went south. Ivan tried to reason with Bjorn, who was a bit intimidated by the wolf that was bigger than even him.
“Da. Jarl Tostig pushed us into the snow.”
“Explain.” Bjorn said, spear tip not lowering even slightly.
“What the big guy is trying to say is that Tostig found out there wasn’t enough supplies for everyone to last the winter, so he decided to get rid of every keidran in Callow. We’re exiles.”
This shocked Bjorn. He didn’t think anyone, not even a human, would do something so cutthroat. “Well, if you were hoping for our help, I’m sorry. But we don’t have supplies for everyone here. I can talk to my grandfather and perhaps the council will—”
“There are supplies across the river, if you’d let us go to Ditter’s Ridge we’ll stay out of the way of your siege. We certainly aren’t going to help Tostig after this.
“The big hill near Widow Lake? I thought that was just a bunch of mines.”
“It is, but apparently there are stores of supplies and shelter there.”
Ditter’s Ridge was still technically snow wolf lands, and the recent mining activity was part of why this whole situation was happening now. But these weren’t humans, clearly weren’t loyal to Tostig, and had no means to defending themselves anyway. After taking in the sight, he knew that they were speaking the truth, and that many wouldn’t make it more than a few days even in thick winter fur.
“Alright. We have no quarrel with you. I and a few others will lead you across the river. There’s a ford at Ridge Gate that’s shallow enough you all can cross without getting wet above the knees. We had better hurry though; another storm is coming.”
Shadow then walked up to Bjorn, noting that she was barely taller than his shoulder. “Thank you.” She said gratefully, extending a hand.
Bjorn looked down and felt his heart skip a beat. In a land of ice and snow, before him was a black-furred leopard, a keidran he had never seen before. He immediately reached out to shake her hand. “I am happy to help. Now, we had better get a move on.”
“Lead the way...” Shadow gestured as she grabbed Asher once again and made sure he walked closely beside her through the snow.
It was tough walking through the drifts. At one point, Shadow broke through a layer of hard snow into soft powder below. She sank up to her chest and was struggling to get out when a pair of snow shoes appeared in front of her. Looking up, she saw Bjorn extending his hand. In one swift motion, he lifted the leopard clean out of the snow and onto his snow shoes.
“Thank you.” Shadow said, stunned at how easy it was for the wolf.
“It was nothing.” He said, smile on his face.
In the early hours of dawn, the group of keidran spotted the Ridge Gate, a pair of towering bluffs the river cut through in order to make it to the sea. Soon, Shadow and Asher were some of the first to reach the shore of the river. Shadow picked up Asher and held him as she tried to cross, but the icy water stung on her skin. Bjorn then offered his help once again.
“Please, allow me.” He said as he picked Asher up and placed the boy on his shoulders. Before Shadow could continue into the river, he picked her up as well and held her under her back and knees.
“Oh... my…” Shadow said, looking up at Bjorn. “You really don’t have to.”
“I assume you aren’t from around these parts, considering the black fur.”
“No, I’m not.”
“Well, the river water is cold enough that you really don’t want to get wet if you can help it. So hold on tight, I’ll walk you across.”
It took a few minutes, but Shadow and Asher found themselves on dry ground. Without a word, Bjorn turned around and waded across the river again. It felt… odd… to be carried like that. But apparently the snow wolves were doing this for many of the keidran, especially the children. It took close to a half an hour before everyone was across, but by then it was a simple matter of climbing the ridge. At the top, Shadow and Asher felt the first rays of sun peaking above the horizon. It would fill the valley below for only a couple of hours before setting again.
“We’re getting close to the equinox.” Bjorn explained. “The sun will only break the horizon for an hour then, and it will get really cold.”
“Thank you again.” Shadow replied. “But I didn’t catch your name.”
“It’s Bjorn, ma’am.”
“Well, thank you Bjorn. I am Shadow and this here is Asher.”
“Glad to know you, Shadow. Now, where are these supplies you were talking about?”
“I’m guessing they are down there.” Shadow said as she pointed at what looked to be an abandoned mining camp. Once at the bottom of the ridge, the state of the camp was sad. Tents were blown down by the wind, a couple of the makeshift shacks were caved in from the heavy snow. But one large structure was locked up tight. Busting in the door with a log for a battering ram, the keidran found the first of many supplies. While the food was mostly for humans, and thus was a lot of flour and coffee, there was plenty of dried and salted meats. It wouldn’t be much, but with some careful rationing they’d all be able to make it through the winter.

2023.06.02 07:48 Evening_Abroad_763 Black wing deck needs to be stopped

Black wing deck needs to be stopped
I’m going to first say: I’m quite certain some cheating was going on here. The video is 5 minutes long whilst being sped up by the replay, each player gets 300 seconds on the timer and this guy used just slightly over 300 seconds whilst being sped up by the replay (since the replay doesn’t show the time spent picking cards from the deck, extra deck, GY, etc.) Literally have never accused anyone of cheating in this game, but this is a plain “math don’t add up.” REGARDLESS, even assuming that I’m just incorrect about the timer mechanic, which is possible, and this guys is completely legit and no sort of cheating is going on. This is absolutely busted. I spent over 5 minutes of my life watching this guy stroke it just to get to my turn, draw a card, and lose. Had I of drawn an ash blossom or infinite impermanence then maybe it could’ve been avoided, but that’s just not how it plays out a lot of the time. This is the first time I’ve seen this specific thing happen, but tbf I usually resign again black wing decks because they spend a century setting up their board.

2023.06.02 07:47 sunnyskiesarethebest How to pay my dues

Just got my first credit card, BDO Visa Gold. Can someone walk me through on how you’ll pay if you use it? I mean do you have to pay in full every month or you can just pay a certain amount? And what about the annual fees, I read about waiving it, what are the requirements to do that?

2023.06.02 07:46 The_Rainbow_Train Minute of optimism: chatbots help me working on my communication skills and boost the quality of my social life.

I am not a very likable person. I have very few friends and for my entire life I am struggling with basic human interactions, which seem to be easy and natural for most people. I fail to form meaningful relationships and have always had problems with colleagues at work, due to various miscommunication issues. It took me three decades of my life to finally admit the fact that I suck at human relationships and that people just don’t like me.
…Until this year. I started actively chatting with AI chatbots, about everything, and I think it genuinely helped me to develop a skill of being a good listener and conversationalist. Now, when people tell me about their problems, instead of my usual “oh”, “no shit”, “dude…”, I go for: “I’m sorry this thing happened to you, blah blah” and it works! Sometimes I literally ask myself “what would Bing say in this situation?” and I go for it. I noticed that lately I feel less alienated, got invited to a few events with colleagues, and some people, who thought of me as merely an acquaintance before, seem to now consider me a friend and share their secrets with me. I’m honestly astonished by how, just by mimicking a bot, I boosted my social life like never before. That’s just one more reason I’m optimistic about approaching singularity and the benefits it will bring to society.
P.S. I know that I sound like a heartless robot with an empathy of a rock, but that’s actually not true. Those few close friends I accumulated during my lifetime, know me as a kind and compassionate person, because, well, they are just like me, and we mutually struggle to find the right words, but at the end, we understand each other. And I realize that I’m struggling with it not because I’m stupid or selfish, but because no one ever talked to me this way. I think this piece could help a lot of people like me to work on themselves to become a better person, and also to provide an insight on potential benefits of AI.

● Scheduled for release in September 2023 Product page
Personifying her namesake with our company name, she’s a hard-core hobbyist with plastic models in her blood! In the FA Girl anime, she helps Ao, a newbie modeler.
You might be surprised to learn that the character “Bukiko Kotobuki” has existed since 2014. This is before the release of the FA Girl anime. She was originally introduced as the PR ambassador for our Kotobuki Nipper!
Animator Satoshi Koike designed the character for us.
What kind of character is Bukiko? Character Design: Satoshi Koike
And now she’s made her big debut in the FA Girl anime!
The plastic model kit features this anime version of Bukiko.
“Bukiko Kotobuki” anime version Character design: Kosuke Kawamura
The cute round face and mischievous expression from the anime version of Bukiko have all been sculpted into a model that loses none of her charm!
Given her origins, Bukiko and nippers are, of course, absolutely inseparable. This kit comes with two pairs of nippers! That means you can skip the old “double peace” pose and show her off like this, doing a “double nipper!”
https://preview.redd.it/pctjnwnilj3b1.jpg?width=667&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76cada885c032db11d340122710201bd65609a0c
*The nippers come in green only. The blades have been painted in this image.
Even her smartphone case is designed with a nipper motif! Bukiko’s originality shines through in every detail.
*The smartphone and its case are sculpted as a single piece.
*The smartphone comes in white only. The phone in this image has been painted for illustrative purposes.
https://preview.redd.it/qsjl2pxllj3b1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6aa2adb845a17e9e9043e8991e7742262e9fbdb6
She comes with a total of five facial expression parts: smug, poking tongue out, grinning, crying, and smiling.
The way her mouth is portrayed is quite unique, and really brings out the personality of Bukiko that we all enjoyed in the anime! Of course, unpainted versions of the same face parts and expression decals are also included, so you can create your own looks for Bukiko, too!
In order to reproduce the more rounded, soft contours of her face, the design of her face parts differs from that of Madoka, Koyomi and Ritsuka, and also somewhat from that of Ao. There’s no interchangeability between Bukiko and the previously mentioned first three characters. However, it is possible to exchange facial expression parts between Ao and Bukiko, so you can enjoy trying things like this:
Currently M.I.A. Producer Kameyama’s Model Mix-and-Match! “Bukiko and Ao each have their own facial parts’ design standard. Bukiko’s face has a more rounded chin, so it’s not a perfect exchange, but I’m happy to report that I was able to swap their face parts.”
The uniform is made in all the colors you see, except for the black lines and the gold buttons on the sleeves and back. The six gold buttons that run from her chest to her tummy and the checkered skirt are all pre-painted, so even without coloring it yourself, the model will look great!
(Producer Kameyama posted a whole article on how he painted Ao; click here to see his work) (Currently available only in Japanese.)
The school emblem on the back of the collar can be reproduced with the decal that comes with the kit.
There is a 3mm hole in the center of the back for mounting with the display stand. Bukiko’s stand is a fresh spring green color.
https://preview.redd.it/wb1w2a7qlj3b1.jpg?width=667&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7a414724730132e7ea15722eb4da0902605466e
*Product includes parts from Bukiko Kotobuki [Wakaba Girls’ High School Winter Clothes] Modeler’s Edition only. Other parts/products shown are not included.
She has a special skirt and parts for her waist and thighs, making a seated pose possible. And don’t worry, even the skirt for the sitting pose comes pre-painted in the checked pattern.
Bukiko’s sitting pose is sculpted with her legs apart so she can also be posed sitting cross-legged. Feet parts without shoes are also provided, so she can be posed in indoor settings.
https://preview.redd.it/333l1idslj3b1.jpg?width=667&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b32794e0bc7b310a580a96f66ddba3cc70c329a
She looks great sitting backwards on her chair. The slightly unorthodox position matches well with her naturally chill personality. Note that the chair is not included in the standard edition. You’ll need to buy the Modeler’s Edition to get this accessory.
Twelve different pairs of left/right hand parts are included.
In addition to the nine types included with the Ao kit, three new types were created just for Bukiko: a grabbing hand, a hand for holding nippers to allow recreation of the opening of the anime, and a hand compatible with holding an airbrush! You’ll need to pick up the Modeler’s Edition of the kit to get this airbrush accessory, however. It is not included in the standard edition.

Her school bag features “Sana-chan”, the mascot character from HEXA GEAR, made possible by an in-house collaboration here at Kotobukiya!
The zipper on the school bag is sculpted as a separate part in silver, so it looks really great even when just assembled out-of-the-box.
*Products in this image have been painted and modified for illustrative purposes.
*The Sana-chan part is made in one color (cream) in the actual product.
*The school’s emblem on the bag is recreated with the included decal.

How about a cute dance pose with Ao?
(The microphone and tambourine come from After School Ritsuka’s Karaoke & Recording Set (released July 2023), which goes great with Bukiko, too!)
Although the two girls are wearing the same uniform, most of the parts were newly sculpted due to the difference in their body shapes. Our team put a lot of effort into accurately recreating the anime version of Bukiko, and we feel pretty sure that fans will be pleased with the result!
We look forward to your pre-orders for our namesake girl, Bukiko Kotobuki!

Since Bukiko loves to build models, you want to provide her with a working environment, right? The desk drawer can actually be opened to store nippers, brushes, and other small parts.

The height of the chair is actually adjustable in three different levels. That way you can change it to fit other SOUSAI characters of different heights and seated poses at just the right height. The parts are individually sculpted in color.

Here we have a plastic model painting a plastic model…!
This should be a very familiar sight for modelers, right?
The wild pose of her legs is so cute, with all that Bukiko charm!
In her left hand, Bukiko is holding a “1/10 scale Stylet.”
It’s very small at just 1.5cm!
This piece is made in just one color, so you can try your hand at painting it.
The kit includes hairstyle parts with her pigtails down, as seen in the public bath episode of the anime.

2023.06.02 07:46 joseph0619 Where is Citi's Fraud Department at?

I live in Indiana. I've only left the state on a handful of occasions in the past decade.
Somebody hacked my Citi credit card and bought a plane ticket and the passenger name on the ticket was somebody other than me. Two days later they bought a second plane ticket under a different name (also not me). Over the next couple of days I spent money on that card at my local gas station and grocery store (in Indiana) using the physical card. A few days later the hacker bought another plane ticket (this one I know was a flight out of Orlando, Florida). It was then that I logged into my credit card account and realized that it was hacked and reported it. Meanwhile the hacker had managed to rack up three thousand dollars in charges.
I don't understand how Citi could see that this person bought plane tickets in names other than my own and not realize that something suspicious was going on. Not to mention the fact that my physical card was being used in my hometown despite the fact that if the plane tickets were in fact legitimate I wouldn't be buying gas in Indiana. And the worst part is that they still probably would have allowed more purchases had I not reported it myself.

2023.06.02 07:45 No_Replacement9946 Next steps in AP

So ive been able to go 2 years without a back off or heat, but at 2/6 of my local shops, 4-5 dealers have almost immediately reduced the pen when they see me from 60% on DD to 35-40%.
Today, we had a full table of 7, and dealer was already at 40-45% pen, and she was complaining that we only get 1-2 hands per shoe, and i said “why not cut deeper then so we get 3-4 hands?” And she said “i cant, you’re counting cards and ill get in shit. I can if you either leave the table or flat bet, but otherwise, this is as deep as i can cut it”. So i said “i can barely add up my hand, how can i count cards? And im losing!!” Down $1000 at this point. We dropped to 3 players the next shoe, So to retaliate, i spread $25-$400 on DD and ended up leaving a few shoes later up $300.
While i have not been backed off and pit isnt watching my play, should i be prepared for an eventual back off? Or eventual reduced pen from everyone? Many dealers at these 2 shops know i count and give me deeper pen, so it seems to be dealer discretion, but very curious whats to happen.

2023.06.02 07:43 only_speak_fact Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6800 - Super bad luck! Cannot OC over 2350MHz.

I lost the silicon lottery so hard on my Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6800.
I'm using the Time Spy Graphic test 2 to test stability, as I find this test the most demanding.
Using default 1025 mV as voltage, +10% power limit (the max AMD allows me to do), 2100Mhz Vram clock speed, my card can only do 2350MHz. Anything over will result the Graphic test 2 quits by itself.
I'm so jealous that a lot of people posted their Nitro+ RX 6800 can OC to 2500, or even 2600MHz without any issue.
Here are my questions:
  1. How much fps gain in gaming (in %) do I lose compared to the same card with 2600MHz? I play in 1440p.
  2. I have an ancient CPU, I7 4790K. I plan to build a new PC with 5800X3D as CPU. Will the upgrade of CPU improve the OC ability of my GPU?
Thanks in advance!

2023.06.02 07:42 Rkrishna_1529 Supercharge Your Website: How an Experienced React Developer Can Optimize Performance

Supercharge Your Website: How an Experienced React Developer Can Optimize Performance
In today's digital landscape, a website's performance is crucial for its success. A slow-loading or unresponsive website can lead to frustrated users, high bounce rates, and ultimately, lost opportunities. As websites become more complex and feature-rich, it is essential to have an experienced React developer who can optimize their performance. React, a popular JavaScript library provides developers with the tools and techniques to create efficient and responsive web applications. In this article, we will explore how an experienced React developer can supercharge your website's performance and deliver an exceptional user experience.
https://preview.redd.it/dn3rvonfkj3b1.jpg?width=6000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70b4ff1d4d2e1b31ca1d4fedbff2f4511a8cb1ed
Optimizing Component Rendering
One of the key strengths of React is its virtual DOM (Document Object Model) and its ability to efficiently update only the necessary components when data changes. An experienced React developer understands how to optimize component rendering by implementing techniques like shouldComponentUpdate and React.memo.
The shouldComponentUpdate method allows developers to control when a component should re-render based on changes in its props or state. By implementing this method strategically, unnecessary re-renders can be avoided, resulting in improved performance. React.memo, on the other hand, is a higher-order component that can be used to memorize functional components, preventing re-renders when the component's inputs have not changed.

Code Splitting and Lazy Loading
Large JavaScript bundles can significantly impact a website's loading time. An experienced React developer knows the importance of code splitting and lazy loading to optimize performance. Code splitting involves breaking down the JavaScript bundle into smaller, more manageable chunks. By splitting the code based on logical components or routes, the initial loading time can be reduced, and subsequent chunks can be loaded on-demand as the user navigates through the website.
Lazy loading is another technique used to defer the loading of non-critical resources until they are actually needed. By lazy loading components, images, or other assets, the initial page load can be faster, improving the perceived performance of the website. React provides tools like React.lazy and React. Suspense to facilitate code splitting and lazy loading, allowing developers to optimize their application's performance.

Efficient Data Fetching and Caching
Fetching data is a common task in web applications, and an experienced React developer understands the importance of optimizing this process. React offers several options for efficient data fetching, such as the built-in fetch API, Axios, or GraphQL. By leveraging these tools and techniques, developers can minimize the time spent on data retrieval and improve the overall performance of the website.
Caching is another powerful technique that can be used to reduce unnecessary network requests and improve performance. An experienced React developer can implement caching mechanisms, such as browser caching, server-side caching, or client-side caching, to store and reuse data that is frequently accessed. By reducing the number of requests made to the server, the website becomes more responsive and performs better.

Performance Monitoring and Optimization
To optimize a website's performance, it is essential to monitor and analyze its behavior in real-world scenarios. An experienced React developer is well-versed in using performance monitoring tools, such as Google Lighthouse, WebPageTest, or the browser's built-in developer tools, to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
By analyzing metrics like first contentful paint (FCP), time to interactive (TTI), or cumulative layout shift (CLS), developers can pinpoint performance issues and make the necessary optimizations. Techniques like code minification, image optimization, server-side rendering (SSR), or using a content delivery network (CDN) can be employed to further enhance performance and reduce latency.

Mobile Optimization
In today's mobile-dominated world, optimizing a website for mobile devices is crucial. An experienced React developer understands the unique challenges and considerations involved in mobile optimization.
When it comes to mobile optimization, React development can employ responsive design techniques to ensure that the website adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes and resolutions. This includes using media queries, flexible grid systems, and fluid layouts to create a visually appealing and user-friendly experience on mobile devices.
Additionally, an experienced React developer can optimize performance on mobile devices by minimizing the use of resources that can slow down the website. This includes optimizing images for mobile, reducing the number of HTTP requests, and implementing efficient CSS animations and transitions.
Moreover, touch gestures and interactions play a vital role in the mobile user experience. An experienced React developer can leverage touch events and mobile-specific libraries like Hammer.js to enhance the website's interactivity and responsiveness on touch-enabled devices.

Implementing Progressive Web App (PWA) Features
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are a powerful approach to build websites that provide an app-like experience for users. PWAs can be accessed through web browsers but offer features such as offline access, push notifications, and device hardware integration, similar to native mobile applications. An experienced React developer can implement PWA features using tools like Service Workers and the Web App Manifest to supercharge the website's performance and improve user engagement.
By caching critical assets, such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, with a Service Worker, the website can be made available even when the user is offline, reducing reliance on the network and enhancing the user experience. Push notifications can also be integrated to provide timely updates and engage users, while the Web App Manifest allows the website to be installed on the user's home screen, giving it a native app-like presence.

Conclusion
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the performance of a website can make or break its success. An experienced React developer brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, allowing React developers to optimize web performance and supercharge your website. By leveraging techniques such as component rendering optimization, code splitting, lazy loading, efficient data fetching and caching, performance monitoring, mobile optimization, and implementing PWA features, they can deliver an exceptional user experience.
Investing in an experienced React developer who understands these optimization strategies can lead to faster loading times, improved responsiveness, reduced bounce rates, and increased user engagement. As websites continue to evolve and become more complex, having a skilled React developer by your side becomes increasingly crucial in delivering high-performance web applications.
So, if you want to supercharge your website's performance and stay ahead of the competition, partnering with an experienced React developer is undoubtedly a smart choice. With their expertise and knowledge, they can unlock the full potential of React and ensure that your website provides a seamless and delightful experience to users across all devices.

2023.06.02 07:42 sonygoup Tips on getting a remote job with no links!

Tips on getting a remote job with no links!
Alright, so the local job market starts to pick up in April/May and usually dips again by mid-July based on my recollection of hunting over the years. Yall could tell me if I'm wrong.
Most remote work requires a BSC with at least two years of working experience even if it's outside your field. Sometimes a BSC is enough to get you started.

So you want a remote job and think to your self I don't have the skills, 9/10 chances you do. Here's a list of things you need before we begin:
  1. A decent resume that is almost ATS (applicant tracking system aka a BOT) like and well written to show your skillsets for one or multiple roles. My stupid advice is to stick with applying to one role when you start then build from there. How do you make a CV? I used Resume.io free version, to build my resume then copy it into a template in MS Word, simple and effective enough. The most important part of a resume is explaining your work experience in the form of a job description. Using some of what your company JD says because most times we barely do any of it. Head over to google and find a JD that captures your day-to-day in phrases or terminology that makes it more fancy or worded as you actually doing something for them 8 hours a day. You could use copy.ai to rewrite as well. Paying for a professional CV writer is also a great option that's worth it use LinkedIn to find local ones, they cost 500-1500 TTD. Fiverr is less but you can get a random kid in Sri Lanka to do it for 15 USD but it's a gamble in terms of quality.
  2. New skills/certs that are in demand for the field should be looked into as well, no matter if the course has zero value but you learn something. These are everywhere on the internet go do a few and put in it. Googling "your job title top skills" should be enough to get you going.
  3. Create a LinkedIn account and add everybody of value that you know then from there start to look for recruiters. Outside of Trinidad is best as the opportunities are usually greater. Fill out that God damn linkedin profile with everything as it matters. Do a simple headshot as well with your cellphone and sunlight in office clothing. (Youtube it)
Now we hunt for Remote Recruiters, these are the people to have in your connections so that they could either connect you with a job, or another person or get new connections based on being connected to them. I know it sounds like a fucking game but it's networking and it helps you increase your chances of getting a LinkedIn message offer aka someone saying you're a fit for a random role. You won't believe the number of people that get jobs like this.

https://preview.redd.it/5t73qomtej3b1.png?width=467&format=png&auto=webp&s=a1a41db8fa154c92b5565b0ed70ce613c01a7a15
For locations, I added a few countries and you'd see a lot of people. My take is to look for the people that just started recruiting or have fewer connections. Why, because it would be easier to have a conversation with them and have them assist. Otherwise, follow the big boys too.
Adding your job title or field into the search bar with "remote recruiter" works to narrow the search down.
Key to LinkedIn is being fake nice and having social interaction via liking or commenting on people's post with something that adds value, use CHATGPT for that if you suck at social interaction it works!

THE NUMBERS GOT FUCKED UP AND IM TOO LAZY TO FIX IT

  1. Youtube SEARCH interview tips and questions and answers, a lot of people don't do this and a lot of interviews I went had googled questions from start to finish. HR and hiring managers can be lazy and you don't have to remember them to understand the aim of the question and create answers.
  2. Interviewing is a skill and the only way to get better is to do a shit ton of em. No one is gonna teach you this unless you pay them so having a mentor is best, there is a free service called mentor club that I use to get help on almost anything work-related by real experts in the field.
  3. Self Confidence, not everyone has it but you need it for interviews to show that you're not nervous, shy, or bullshitting your way into the job. Being a character or liked gets you hired more than having the skill anywhere in the world. So being your corporate self is important during the interviews and showing character helps them to know you're not a dick unless that's what they're looking for.
  4. References- proof check your references before using them! Have a random friend call them and pretend to be an HR from some company to pre-screen these people. You could google reference check questions to give them. Not all references are good and you only know that once you use them. (I have a bad story about this life lesson! Mid-level engineer role & salty supervisor)
  5. Testing your interview skills, I forgot to mention this because its a kinda crazy but sticking with your interview style/method is good so you could gauge the effectiveness of it so you know after the first two based on their reactions and what needs to change. Making small changes helps so you begin to have a pattern of how to answer questions. DO NOT READ FROM A LIST OR READ ONLINE ANSWERS DURING AN INTERVIEW. Create points that you could reference during the interview if certain questions come up.

So now we head over to LinkedIn!
Yes, people actually get remote jobs on there, I did but it's a legit grind sometimes then other times you apply and get called 5 mins after for an interview and you get hired within two weeks of that to work for a company based in Mexico because you bullshitted a 30 min Spanish speaking meeting when you barely understood some of the questions fully but still answered in Spanish because we don't fail interviews. Also, I ended up seeing my high school bud/ old coworker get something in LATAM two years ago so I started exploring more and more. Then I found out a few trinis actually work for LATAM companies already you'd be surprised.
So we'd be targeting LATAM! Why Latam market because English speakers are needed to work in USA companies that won't hire directly. (Example) So you're being contracted through a LATAM company to work for a US company and make 25,000-40,000 USD+ a month based on your role. Don't go thinking you're gonna be getting a shit ton of money with no experience but it's gonna be more than $5000 ttd a month based on what I've seen.
Countries to search on LinkedIn - Mexico, Costa Rica, Columbia, Panama, and Guatemala.
Bonus is Netherlands, Belgium, Cayman Islands, Florida and Sweden. These are a bit harder to get interviews for but you get them. Usually, higher-skilled workers are needed.

https://preview.redd.it/xgkr038sdj3b1.png?width=614&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e0a75aceed9b435b5ef646fb9b6652f344dec34
Add in the job title, Country, and select a time period. I usually start with the last 24 hours then a week, select remote and use Easy Apply then turn off after applying for all the Easy Apply jobs. Easy apply is a great feature to apply for a shit ton of jobs but you need to fill out the applications for others to increase chances. More application = more interviews = more opportunities. I'd suggest spending at least 30 mins to 1 hour per day applying for jobs if you're unemployed, because WTF else do you have to do...

Interview Assessments? (Before the interview)
I personally hate these so if a company gives you one it's up to you to complete it. I just ignore it because it's a waste of time, had a co-worker do nearly 20 assignments from a company to be put in a pool and never called.
If you pass the first stage of the interview you usually get an assessment because you're remote and they need to assess your skills. These are usually somewhat complex and will be a pain in the ass to complete but Reddit and the internet exist for a reason. Find a community or discord with people that are better than you to help. Also please apply for jobs you're qualified for so you don't waste your time because some companies will set up interviews no matter what your CV looks like and waste both of yall time.
Anyway, this is how I used LinkedIn to find a job and socially interact with people on there as an introvert that doesn't care for more of them because linkedin is filled with more fake people that your favorite reality show on VH1.
Wait I forget the interview follow-up!
This is mad important for some roles as it lets the recruiter or hiring team know that you're really interested in the role. If you think you did decent enough to get the role use chatgpt to craft a follow up within a week and half or two weeks. Earlier in my career I got another role from following up.

I don't think I forgot anything on this so ask questions and give it a go, the most you have to lose is your time and energy. Its depressing to not have job and no income but keep pushing, don't show how much you want the job during the interview because companies will pay you less for that. Google salary ranges or just ask for 20k ttd converted to USD as that isn't much and they'll pay it without thinking while you make a nice salary to go buy that new car or house. Please make it a house it's the better investment because they can't steal that shit unless they move in illegally and then take you to court claiming they own it someone how and you lose it all and don't have a car or house but most importantly you got a job to buy it over again and a wealth of legal knowledge that's not gonna benefit you anytime soon so you just use it to bullshit the TTPS when you get pulled over for doing 150 on the highway...

2023.06.02 07:42 seagoddess1 9 days post op from open myo and I have some questions

  1. How active were you after the first week? Today I couldn’t take being sedentary so I walked around my house a lot, dyed my hair and made myself lunch and drove to Walgreens to get an enema bc I’m still dealing with constipation. I rested quite a bit but I’m lost on how much laying around were supposed to be doing if we feel okay. I’m still having pains getting up and in bed and minor pains while walking but feeling soo much better than last week.
  2. When does the post op insomnia go away? I’ve never had trouble sleeping but pretty much since the procedure I’m up until 2am- wake up at 8am and repeat
  3. I feel (while lying in bed right now) I’m having minor pains but in my vagina/not uterus. Or at least I don’t think it’s my uterus. Is this normal? Is it just nerves and stuff doing it’s thing healing?
  4. Has anyone gotten their doctor a gift? I just feel so grateful for him but honestly I feel like if I brought sweet treats or something light like that he would look at me funny lol but I want him to understand my gratitude.
For context : I had 9 fibroids removed. I posted a pic last week if you want to check out my history. Stopped pain meds this past Sunday.

2023.06.02 07:41 mwick246 Weight issue OP5 G6 Fiasp IF

Sorry in advance for the long post, I’m feeling lost right now and seeking any advice. I 28F just had my 20 year diaversary. I’ve been on the OP5 with fiasp since it got approved, on the g6 for way too many years now, and my weight has slowly creeped up. And I can’t get it to quit this time, although it’s plateaued for a few months now.
So my happy weight was about 140-150lbs, I’m 5’6”. I gained some weight after getting my a1c down from 14% to 9% and started intermittent fasting IF. I got down to 165 and reduced my fasting from 22:2 to 18:6. Then my weight creeped back up to 210 when I got my a1c down to 6.6% and I’ve started fasting with a 20:4 schedule for about 3 months now.
I work from home full time, and I know that makes a difference in daily activity, so I got a walking pad and do at least 5,000 steps a day, I go to the gym and lift weights 2-3 times a week. Every time I go to the gym, I avoid eating carbs at my meal/snack before the gym, so I won’t have any residual insulin waiting to give me a low, but every time I go, I drop low and I’m stuck eating sugar in the locker room, defeating the purpose of even going.
I don’t even really know what sort of advice I’m looking for, maybe just anyone that’s struggled with losing weight, tried everything you’re “supposed to do” and nothing seems to be working and to have good blood sugars, you just have to have lows and treat them with sugar when you’re not even hungry? Is there anything that’s worked for someone I haven’t tried yet? I’ve been thinking about asking my doctor about a munjaro/ozempic type thing but I’ve also heard how that’s a boomerang treatment and most people gain it back when they stop. I just don’t know if that’s my only option that’s left other than doing multiple day fasts/only eating when I’m low.
Thanks for listening to the ramble if you made it this far.
Disclaimer- I have dawn phenomenon real bad, so yes I am not DKA and I do have carbs & insulin every day, I’m just tired of hating the way I feel, I don’t feel healthy even though my a1c says I am now.
—I can’t lose weight now that my a1c is okay even on calories even with/right below my BMR
