Admitted as a Junior transfer to Northwestern CS in their college of arts and sciences. Currently on a full ride at Rutgers in the business school with a second major in CS. Would love some advice on what I should do.
Northwestern PROS:

• I can easily switch into engineering CS at NU and get my degree from an engineering school, which is what I have always wanted to do and is a huge pull for me. It would allow me to focus on CS fully and I wouldn’t have to take classes Im not interested in
  
• Prestige: I know it’s a not a huge factor for general SWE recruitment but it could help for startups and quant recruitment which is what I’m interested in
  
• Quarter system would allow me to do engineering and graduate on time, and I could probably explore other courses of interest as well
  

Northwestern CONS:

• 25k each year (50k total), I’d have to take around 30k in loans

Rutgers PROS:

• Full ride
  
• Already have leadership positions in clubs
  
• Already landed a good SWE internships (albeit at a Bank, which is not my end goal in terms of industry)
  
• Good relationships with friends
  

Rutgers CONS:

• My scholarship is bound to the business school and a business major, something I have no interest in. If I were to switch out to only CS, which I plan to do, I’d probably end up paying around 30k (10k in loans) to finish my degree.

I’m comfortable where I’m at at Rutgers, and I think that can be good and bad. Going to Northwestern would push me out my comfort zone but would be a bit of risk financially. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi, i love programming but android is challenging when it comes to keeping an eye on the bigger picture. Any suggestions where i can find a mentor or some resources on data fetching, database integration and functionality of an app..? Thanks

1. Just because you can't make money using technicals doesn't mean they don't work. Take your bags elsewhere.

I use Pharmaceuticals as a bit of a canary in the coal mine for the end of a bear market. For the first time since 2021 Pharma has signaled that the bear market may be at an end.
I use ABBV as my go to, I think it's one of the strongest Pharmas without too many legal headaches which is a rare combination considering the field.
Pharma and Utilities are usually the last to "puke" in a bear market. In every major bear market back to the 1970s, they typically held their gains through the entirety of the bear market, then puked sometimes dumping 50% after everything else had long bottomed. It's a weird phenomenon for those two sectors.
There's a "bull trend line" formed by the covid era that ABBV respected until this week. Thus, it has finally "puked".
How hard it will dump is yet to be seen. The final test for the bear market is for the SPX to retest the 200week which will be somewhere around SPX 3900 in October which is 80% of the time the typical retest zone where everyone starts to feel the burn and panic.
80% of bear markets waterfall down in that period due to it being the end Fiscal Calendar cycle.
So I fully expect we'll see SPX 3900 again some point by then. Pharma and utilities are usually the best buys in decades when they hit that bottom while an already 'recovering market' has began its climb and is retesting the 200week.
So if anyone's interested in Pharma, I'd star watching but not buying yet.

I've lived here a few years now and I still don't feel like I really know anything about what's going on in the city and would like to change that.
Where I used to live there was a great afternoon/drive time radio show hosted by people who grew up in the area. They talk about everything, but they also would bring in local figures to play games, do top 10 places for X, and discuss and joke about the weird cultural stuff that everybody who grew up here knows, but isn't really written down anywhere.
Every time I turn on the radio it's sports, news, or generic morning DJs. Maybe Lincoln (and the current state of terrestrial radio) just isn't big enough to support something like I'm looking for, but I desperately want to find a way to keep up with what's going on and learn about my community. I subscribed to the Journal for a bit, but their local content beyond sports was pretty dismal.
Can anyone recommend a radio show (hopefully one that posts podcasts/on-demand), a tv show, or something? Maybe even a good blog? This sub is about the best I've been able to find but I'd really love something I could listen to while working or driving. Thanks!

Hi I don't know if anyone can help me, it's been torturing me for hours, I'm looking for a scene in an anime where a sword fighting trainer who trains children (I think) is attacked by several ninjas/warriors in his dojo while training a child, and he tries to beat them with a wooden sword, I think this guy had black hair and a mustache (not sure)
Many thanks to those who want to help me!

Hope you enjoy this first is NEW BLOOD
By a river, a female Archosaur stalks a herd of dicynodonts called Placerias, looking for weak members to prey upon. Downstream, a male feathered dinosaur resides in a tree with his family. A female Postosuchus, a rauisuchian and one of the largest carnivores alive in the Triassic, attacks the Placerias herd, and wounds one individual; the herd scatters, leaving the wounded Placerias to the Postosuchus. Early bats are depicted feeding on dragonflies and cooling themselves in the little water remaining during the drought before being eaten by a larger dragonfly. Searching for food, a female badger like mammal, alongside another badger, discovers the dinosaur nest; the female wards them off. Later that evening, after he goes off hunting, an inquisitive chick follows but falls onto land trying to follow its father and is caught by the female badger. At night, the dinosaurs pick up their remaining pups and then move away. On the next day, the badgers work to collapse the tree. The female Postosuchus meanwhile is shown to have been wounded by the Placerias, a prior attack on them leaving her with a tusk wound on her thigh. After being unable to successfully hunt another Placerias, she is expelled from her territory by a predatory phytosaur. Wounded, sick, and without a territory, the female Postosuchus dies and is eaten by a pack of archosaurs. As the dry season continues, food becomes scarce. The Placerias herd embarks on a journey in search of water, while the archosaurs begin to cannibalise their young, and the male dinosaurs also resorts to hunting baby badgers at night. Finally, the wet season arrives; the majority of the archosaurs have survived (including the lead female), and the dinosaur pair have a new clutch of eggs. The episode ends with the arrival of a herd of giant Procoptodon like mammal which are followed by a large fox like mammal which fights and kills a Postosuchus.
TIME OF THE TITANS
This episode follows the life of a female prosauropod, beginning at the moment when her mother lays a clutch of eggs in the heart conifer forest. Three months later, some of the eggs hatch; the young prosauropods are preyed upon by fox like mammal and other dinosaurs. After hatching, the hatchlings retreat to the safety of the denser trees. They face many dangers as they grow, including predation by the foxes and existing Smilodon like mammals which are replacing the foxes increasingly . Even a giant Deinotherium like mammal accidentally also kills one of the hatchlings by swinging its tusks while fending off a pair of Smilodon like mammals and a weird crocodile like cetan. Elsewhere, adult herds of prosauropods are shown using their massive weight to topple trees in order to reach cycad leaves and giant ferns. Each one hosts a small mobile habitat of damselflies, bats, and beetles. After some time, the creche of cute creatures have grown into subadults. Nearly all are killed by a huge forest fire; only three survivors emerge onto the open plains, including the young female. They encounter several Paracetherium before only two reach safety of a herd of adult prosauropods. Several years later, the female mates, and a few days after, is attacked by a bull smilodon like mammals. She is saved when another prosauropod strikes the Allosaurus with its tail. She rejoins the herd, albeit with deep wounds on her side, but she will recover. The closing narration notes that their successors the sauropods will in the Cenozoic become the largest animals ever to walk the Earth but currently its the paracetherium.
CRUEL SEA
episode begins with a small elephant like mammal being snatched from the shore by a male Liopleurodon. It then cuts to show how dinosaurs have dominated the European islands with fauna similar to the ones in Jurassic Impact. Meanwhile, hundreds of cetans arrive from the open ocean to give birth but they are attacked by a Basilosaur look a like. Hybodus and a Liopleurodon are on the hunt; when a mother cetan has trouble giving birth, a pair of Hybodus pursue her. They are frightened off by the male Liopleurodon, which eats the front half of the cetan. Meanwhile, a Andrewsarchus like mammal the last of its kind if you forget the fox like mammals swims to an island and discovers a turtle carcass; it fights over the carcass with another. Later, during the night, a group of horseshoe crabs gather at the shore to lay their eggs, which attracts a flock of bats in the morning to eat the eggs. However, a few of the bats are caught and eaten by a giant dragonfly . While the cetan juveniles are growing up, they are hunted by Hybodus, which in turn, are prey for the Liopleurodon. While the male Liopleurodon is hunting, he encounters a female Basilosaurus like mammal; after the male bites one of her flippers, she retreats from his territory, and a group of Hybodus follows the trail of her blood. A cyclone strikes the islands, killing many animals, including several bats and the basilosaurus, who is washed ashore and eventually suffocates under his own weight. A group of small dinosaurs feed on her carcass. At the end of the episode, the juvenile cetans that survived the storm are now large enough to swim off and live in the open sea but are hunted by some other cetans.
GIANT OF THE SKIES
The episode begins with the last giant Dragonfly dead on a beach. Six months earlier, the last Dragonfly, resting among a colony of breeding giant bats in Brazil, flies off for Cantabria where he too must mate. He flies past a migrating group of chalicothere mimics and the nodosaur Polacanthus. He reaches the southern tip of North America, where he is forced to seek shelter from a storm. He grooms himself, expelling his body of fleas; the wings begin to change colour in preparation for the mating season. He then sets off across the Atlantic, which was then only 300 kilometres wide, and after a whole day on the wing, reaches the westernmost of the European islands. He does not rest there however, as a pack of dromaeosaurs are hunting horses; a young one is bullied off an Horse carcass by the adults. The Dragonfly flies to the outskirts of a forest to rest after stealing a fish from a bat, but is driven away by a flock of new fliers called Anurognathids. Flying on, he reaches Cantabria, but finds no other dragonflies and consequently he does not mate. After several days under the sun trying to attract a mate, the protagonist dragonflies dies from a combination of heat, stress and starvation. . The new replacements bats feeds on its corpse.
SPIRITS OF THE ICE FOREST
A few hundred kilometres from the South Pole, a clan of Leaellynasaura emerge during spring after several months of total darkness. They feed on the fresh plant growth (which has adapted to the changing seasons), and build nests to lay their eggs; a Koolasuchus also wakes and heads to a river, where he will stay during the summer. Out on the banks of the river, migrating herds of Macraucheia have also arrived to feed and lay their eggs. When summer arrives, many of the Leaellynasaura clan's eggs have been eaten; however, those of the matriarch hatch successfully. Meanwhile, a male Polar Smilodon like mammal and its pride hunts both the Leaellynasaura and the Macraucheia, the latter species also having to deal with blood-sucking birds the Smilodon male deals with being attacked and exiled by a larger male. When autumn arrives, the herd begins to migrate, and the Koolasuchus leaves the river to find a pool for hibernation and all the cubs of the old male Smilodon are killed. During the migration, some Muttaburrasaurus become lost in the forest; they vocalize loudly while trying to return to their herd, preventing the Leaellynasaura clan's sentries from hearing the male Smilodon approaching. It manages to kill the matriarch of the clan. Winter descends and the forest is shrouded in darkness, but the now matriarch-less Leaellynasaura clan is able to stay active, using their large eyes to help them forage for food. The clan and other creatures are also shown to use various methods of coping with the cold.. Finally, spring returns, and two Leaellynasaura males challenge each other for the right to mate, and the clan establishes a new dominant pair and the old male Smilodon kills the new male Smilodon and takes the pride back. The closing narration acknowledges that soon this landmass will be pulled closer to the South Pole and when that happens, this unique ecosystem and its inhabitants will disappear.
DEATH OF THE DYNASTY
Several months before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, the last mammals are living under intense environmental stress due to excessive volcanism. A female giant Entelodont like monotremes abandons her nest, the eggs rendered infertile due to acidic pollution. Her calls for a mate are answered by a smaller male, who kills a young rhino like mammal to appease her. Three days later, after repeated copulation, she drives him off. The mother fasts as she tends to her nest, contending with raids by dromaeosaurs and Squirrel like mammals. Meanwhile, herds of deer like mammals wander between islands of vegetation among the volcanic ash, and rhinoceros rut for the right to mate, while losing their young to attacking dromaeosaurs. Only three of the Entelodont hatches ; the mother hunts one of the last elephants to feed herself and her brood. One of the last giant bats flies into the area and is killed by the last cetans. Several days later, while defending her two surviving offspring, the mother is fatally injured by the tail of an Ankylosaurus. The juveniles remain expectantly next to the carcass of their mother the next morning; several hours later, they are killed along with the other mammals in the region by the impact of a comet in the Gulf of Mexico. The impact, said to be as powerful as ten billion Hiroshima bombs, resulted in 65% of life -the mammals included- dying out in the ensuing cataclysmic changes to the climate. In an epilogue, the present-day African plains are shown; while they are now dominated dinosaurs after millions of years of recovery from the impact, they are still populated by a small group of mammals that did survive the extinction: the rodents, the squirrels and many other small vermin like mammals.
THE GIANT CLAW- TO EDIT
searches the late Jurassic islands for Therizinosaurus, who has massive and very long claws.
The episode starts off with Nigel in his ship where he shows a giant claw that scientists originally thought to be the rib of a giant turtle but was actually the claw of Therizinosaurus. He is interrupted when a giant turtle passes through and he films them. The turtle sneezes on him and Nigel sets off on his journey
Nigel comes across a nesting ground of heterodontosaurs that he crosses by using a red flag to draw their attention while one snaps at his cameraman. They travel into a forest where they watch a pack of cassowary like dinosaurs and their friends hunt heterodontosaurs. In a different forest, Nigel sets camp and finds a scorpion that he keeps. At night, a group of Mononykus like creatures approach the camp site and Nigel tries to catch one. After he caught one, he discovers that they have feathers but he puts his thumb in its mouth causing it to bleed. The next morning, Nigel finds that the Mononykus have eaten his scorpion and he packs up his camp. In the scrublands, Nigel hides in the vegetation urging his cameraman to turn off the camera when he spots a feathered predator that spooks some Mononykus.
Then Nigel waits out at a beach with some Heterodontosaurs and Mononykus as a perfect place for theropods to hunt prey. There he finds a hatched nest with the skeleton of a baby Therizinosaurus in a partially hatched egg as well as herbivore dung. Not far away, he finds a full skeleton of a Therizinosaurus. A large crocodile notices him and chases him and his cameraman into the forest. They climb onto tall tree stumps out of their reach and use a bicycle horn to scare of the raptors. After hearing commotion from the heterodontosaurs, Nigel returns to the watering hole where a feathered apex comes to scavenge and drink but is interrupted by the roar of a Therizinosaurus leading to a clash of the titans. The Therizinosaurus fends off the Tarbosaurus with its formidable claws forcing it to back down. Nigel then finds whole herd of Therizinosaurus emerging from the forest and it is a herbivore that uses its sickle-claws to hook tree and bush branches towards its mouth. Nigel ultimately concludes that it was gentle herbivore by touching one that licks him and knocks him over.
Land OF GIANTS
Nigel travels back in time with his film crew. He travels to a nearby lake, where large mammals named Brutodontids nest every year. There Nigel sees a juvenile Brutodon, where he is attacked by a giant mosasaur. Nigel then coaxes it out of the lake by splashing a stick in the water. It lays on the shore. Nigel attaches a video camera to his head and walks towards it, and demonstrates it's biting power by pushing a stick into it's mouth and having it bite down on it.
Later Nigel climbs up the volcanic slopes to get a panoramic view of the area to see Brutodon herd. Instead he finds a herd of small horses. His search leads him all the way to the coast, where he views a colony of medium sized bats on the cliffs hunting fish. Nigel doesn't return to the campsite until night, where he finds that a large predator has attacked his tent, and left all the provisions littered across the surrounding ground. He finds a single theropod dinosaur tooth jammed in a can of meat.
The next morning Nigel has set up an alarm system outside the camp so that if something breaks the laser tripwire, a loud alarm will sound, alerting Nigel. Later he tracks down the predator, where, around midday, Nigel hears a commotion further ahead. He finds a wounded horse in a rocky gully. He walks further upstream to find a smaller dead individual with a strange feathered apex predator eating it.
Later Nigel is shown flying over the ash-fields in an ultralight. Soon he finds another Sea Bat flock. After breaking away he sees a giant bat, one of the largest animal ever to fly. Soon Nigel discovers the Brutodon herd far below, so he lands the ultra light nearby his jeep. He then drives off towards the herd and locates it without any trouble.
After appreciating their gargantuan size, Nigel drives into a natural 'funnel', caused by a break in some trees. He then sets up some weighing scales designed for lorries. After several fruitless attempts, an Brutodon steps on the scales, showing that it weighs 92.3 tonnes, and Nigel explains that that's the same as 30 African elephants.
The next morning Nigel in chasing an horse 20 miles away from the camp in the jeep, when he realizes that it is actually running because a Giganotosaurus is chasing them both. Nigel narrowly escapes the predator only to meet up with the herd later in the morning to find an entire pack of Giganotosaurus mobbing the herd but most are killed.
By the afternoon the pack has singled out a juvenile, and are inflicting wounds, waiting for her to bleed to death. The hunt continues for the rest of the day and into the night, when filming is no longer possible and Nigel must leave.
The next morning, Nigel finds the herd at the nesting site beside the lake. While the females lay their eggs Nigel comments on what a magical ending this is for his dinosaur safari. Suddenly a Mosasaur lunges at him out of the water
NEW DAWN- WWB REALITY
The episode starts by showing how the mammals were dominating the land and that dinosaurs were small. Then it shows how "an asteroid the size of Mount Everest" struck the Earth and demolished the mammals, and how dinosaurs evolved into new forms thereafter. The first episode depicts the warm tropical world of the early Eocene, sixteen million years after the extinction of the giant mammals. Bats, the one of the surviving lineage of the mammals, including the giant carnivorous Mega Bat, rule this world, while dinosaurs are still very small. The setting is near the Messel pit in Germany. Due to volcanic activity, sudden bulk escapes of carbon dioxide trapped underneath lakes pose a significant hazard to the local wildlife. The episode centers around a Parkosaur family, a leaping, shrew-like dinosaur, which has emerged in the dawn hours to forage for food. As the mother forages, first in solidarity, and then with her pups, she wanders near a large predatory mammal, identified as an Ambulocetus the last cetan. A female Mega Bat, who has been taking care of the single undeveloped baby in her nest, makes two attempts to hunt a small herd of Protoceratops like dinosaurs, early ceratopsians. The first attempt fails when sounds among the vegetation betray her presence and they mob her. The second attack proves successful when the Protoceratops consume fermenting grapes and are unable to evade her attack also defends her territory from another. Unfortunately, while the mother hunts, a horde of Titanomyrma, giant carnivorous ants, encounter the baby when it dropped out of the nest, and successfully kill and eat the chick. When the female discovers her dead offspring at dusk she leaves the forest to try and start another family.
With the arrival of night, a band of lemur-like Godinotia, socialize and copulate in the dark the narration reveals how they will be the most successful in this new world. Ambulocetus finally manages to catch a Flamingo like bird near the lake edge. As the night wears on, an earth tremor unleashes trapped carbon dioxide out from underneath the lake and the gas suffocates most of the surrounding life. The Parkosaurs survive because the nest was upwind of the gas while the Bat was killed because she stayed in that area in the forest.
It is mentioned that although they survived the gas, they would ultimately leave many descendants, while the Ambulocetus, who was killed by the lethal gases, would leave none.
WHALE KILLER
This episode introduces the Mosasaur, an ancient type of mosasaur. Mosasaur became the new king of the ocean after the giant cetans of the Mesozoic died out alongside the mammals (see Cruel Sea). It was much bigger than the sharks it shared the ocean with, and it regularly ate the sharks. However, Mosasaur was still less advanced than the modern species; it still had rear flippers (that helped it during the mating) and lacked the blubber. At the same time, this program depicted the beginning of 'climate chaos' - a relatively minor extinction event between Eocene and Oligocene, also known as "The Great Cut". On land dinosaurs too have become big and huge. This episode featured Torosaurus like ceratopsians and the Andrewsarchus, a mammal that was considered to be a relative to the kings of the Cretaceous the Entelodont. Both were much bigger than the land dinosaurs featured in New Dawn episode, but their brains were still small and their behavior - primitive. They were the first true dinosaur rulers of the land and most of them would die out during "The Great Cut". As the El Nino continues and the extinction event is beginning, the female Mosasaur is forced to change her hunting ground from open seas to mangrove swamps (the future Sahara desert). There she encounters small sharks, Apidium, and Moeritherium. It is described as the last stronghold of the mammals A spinosaurid like dinosaur eats an Apidium but is too small to attack Moeritherium, The mosasaur hunts and eats one alive. She leaves.
The Torosaurus continue to strive but most of the juvenlies are killed young by the poisonous plants of their home Two Andrewsarchus steal such a calf, but begin to fight over it in order to determine which of them gets to eat it first. The calf's mother decides that the calf is alive and fights off the Andrewsarchus - for a time, but leaves when the rest of her young hatch.
The female Mosasaurus discovers a lagoon where dolphin like mammals that appeared after the mass extinction of cetans are beginning to calf. At first the smaller whales use their numbers' advantage to chase away the giant, but the female Mosasaurus eventually returns and begins to hunt and devour the calves - and this time the adults can't stop her.
Several months later Basilosaurus gives birth to her own calf, but the episode ends saying that both the mother and child are doomed to perish - but whales as a group will survive.
LAND OF GIANTS
The third episode takes place in late Oligocene Mongolia, where seasonal rains are followed by long periods of drought. It follows a mother giant hawk, an enormous herbivorous bird , and her young male calf. The mother struggles to raise her calf, fending off predators such as Dromaeosaurs and trying to teach the calf to survive on its own. The episode also follows other animals in the surroundings, including a Therizinosaurid, tyrannosaurids and iguanodontids, and the hardships they endure as the new animals from the south move in.
NEXT OF KIN
A family group of the descendants of the Apidium is down; yet another female was killed by the Troodontids that hunt them, leaving behind an orphan daughter. The males of the group, Grey and Hercules, are beginning to challenge each other for leadership, and the females are supporting Hercules rather than Grey, A bigger, more numerous group attacks, driving the focus group from their old home. Because of this, they start to migrate through the highlands of Ethiopia, searching for a new one. During their travels they meet a large stegosaurid in musth which chases them away from its territory as it tries to wow a much larger female. They settle in a area with a waterfall where many iguanodontids roam they try to scare them off but can't. However it is also home to a large allosaur type creature which kills many and drags the rest for its chicks to eat. Grey is killed in the process and using some planning they steal some of the allosaurs chicks and cause it to migrate for the safety of its chicks. That night one of the babies is stolen by a Troodontid which now rule the area without the constriction of the Allosaur. One day the female orphan is attacked by the Troodontids in full daylight when the rest rally together and try and kill the Troodontid. They settle down and some evolved descendants of the protagonist from the first episode comes and eats the lice in their fur.
SABRE TOOTH
The fifth episode shows the strange fauna of the isolated continent of South America and explores the effects of the Great American Interchange, which had happened 1.5 million years earlier. Since South America had drifted apart from Antarctica 30 million years ago, many unique dinosaurs had evolved, including a Ankylosaurus like creature , an armored armadillo-like ankylosaur with a cannon ball-sized spiked club on its tail; An edmontosaurus like dinosaur, a camel-like dinosaur with a long trunk and though not a dinosaur a large heron like pterosaur has evolved larger than the largest of the bats.
Before the continents of South America and North America collided, a 10-foot-tall predatory bear called with sabre teeth like Smilodon, had reigned as top predator. However, the great birds, migrating from the north, soon displaced them as top predators. The episode focuses on a male bear, a saber-toothed ursine, called Half Tooth, who lives a lone life in a territory of females all of their cubs are his one day two males chase him out and try to become the individuals the females mate with.
Next, the episode shows The new birds hunting down the edmontosaurs and the bears trying to protect the young from the two brothers (in vain) but they are eventually killed when they go hunting. In the background, the mammals still hunt, but give way to the birds. However, a therizinosaurid, who wanted to eat meat as diet supplement, charges the pack while the males attempted to mate, in order to eat some of the carrion. In the process, it kills the dominant rival male, enabling Half Tooth to return, kill the other male and reclaim his territory. Then he had another litter of cubs. Meanwhile the pterosaurs arrive for their winter migration.
Mammoth JOURNEY
narrator reveals that the world's climate is starting to deteriorate, bringing on an ice age. This means all animals, even the mighty titanosaurs and their symbiotic bird partners are struggling with the last of their kind living in the focus herd. One of the herd falls through a pond concealed by ice. Her sisters comfort her, and in the morning the scavengers Troodontids and humans gather gather. The herd then have no choice but to leave their fallen sister to prepare for the coming Ice Age winter. The narrator also reveals that so much water is frozen at the poles, causing sea levels to drop. A vast Ice Age forest, which today is the North Sea, supports an array of dinosaurs including a herd of titanosaurs. Also residing on the plains in summer is a new creature: Human.
Despite having no physical adaptations for the cold, they wear animal hides to keep warm. The episode's main focus is the mammoth's 400 kilometre migration to the Alps and back in the spring. Meanwhile, two stigymoloch like dinosaurs are fighting for a harem of females, but are then ambushed by the humans who kill one of the males. As the titans migrate, one of the herd and the juveniles under her care are separated and stalked by a woolly giganotosaurus, but survive.
Upon reaching the Alps, the mother and the juveniles are reunited with the herd. Here in the valleys, one of the herd lays her eggs to return next year to raise the survivors and the birds mate with each other and a new generation is born, some leave into the Alps but many stay with their parents. The episode also focuses on the Neanderthal, who, despite being built for the cold, is struggling as a result of the Ice Age. One of them is attacked by a Woolly Pachyrhinosaurus, but survives because of his shorter stature and thicker bones.
As the titanosaurs migrate back to the plains, they come into Neanderthal territory where the juveniles is annoyed by the mammals and one is killed by the largest of them all Cave Foxes which drag them down to their cliff home where several giant Parkosaurs watch. they arrive back in their forest where the Gigantosaurus the only thing an adult fears attacks and kills the matriarch. The humans scavenge on the carcass. The titanosaurs are revealed to be going extinct with their herd being the largest thanks to the Ice Age while their birds have a different story thanks to their big partners. The scene then changes to the Oxford Museum and the narrator reveals that "If all this has taught is anything, it's this: no species lasts forever.
BALLAD OF BIG AL
The special begins at the University of Wyoming's Geological Museum, showing the bones of a baby prosauropod followed by an Allosaurus (2.1 metres tall is the maximum height) named Big Al. After the ghost of Big Al wanders the museum passing by his own skeleton and a burrow with some fossilized eggs, the film then travels back in time to 150 Mya) showing a similar nest. Al and his siblings are hiding in the burrow when they are called by their mother. She brings them to a river bank and the hatchlings start to hunt for insects and lizards. When the mother leaves the hatchlings temporarily, a predatory Dilephodon like mammal comes out of hiding and kills one of them (luckily, the victim was not Al).
Al is then shown at the age of two years. He tries to hunt a flock of Dryosaurus. He has not yet learned how to ambush from his mother so he fails to kill one of the swifter, smaller dinosaurs. Later, he snatches a lizard from a branch to keep him satisfied. Al comes across a dead Deinotherium like mammal and an Allosaurus waiting for death in a pit of sticky mud, which forms a predator trap. Meanwhile, a two-year-old female Allosaurus, attracted to the carcass, also gets stuck. She struggles to free herself, but fails. Al luckily avoids the same fate, because he has learnt to avoid carrion and the large carnivores that it usually attracts. Unable to escape, the trapped Allosaurus pair die of exhaustion, their corpses left to the bats. Al returns to his mother and his three siblings and feasts on the carcass she has caught.
Three years pass, and a herd of juvenile Prosauropods are migrating across their forest home and into the grasslands, heading for a herd to the south. Al, now 1.2 meters long, is joined by several other Allosaurus (possibly, his siblings) and they manage to successfully panic the herd into leaving a weakened sick individual behind. But as the Allosaurus gather for the kill, Al is struck down by the neck of the prosauropod. The pack decides to wait for a few hours until the prosauropod is brought down by heat exhaustion and his illness. Though they feed, within the hour, a five-year-old female Allosaurus scavenges the kill. Al takes some remnants of the carcass for himself and leaves, trying to find a safer place to eat.
3 years pass by, and Al, now 1.8 metres long with the crests over his eyes reddening, is shown drinking at a pond. His presence however makes other mammals around the pond nervous and the smell of blood he brings with him puts off a pair of Deinotherium that were attempting to mate. Away from the pond, he discovers the scent of a nearby six-year-old female Allosaurus and issues a mating call. She is interested, but as Al attempts to mate, a Smilodon like mammal out on the prowl pack attacks and kills the female. Al is lucky enough to escape from the ensuing fight with his life, although he sustains injuries to his right arm as well as smashed ribs. Later the dry season comes, and Al is attempting to hunt a flock of rabbit like mammals as the Dryosaurus have moved away. Whilst ambushing them however, he steps on a hedgehog like mammal and kills it but then it is stuck in his foot so he ends up breaking something in his right foot in the resultant fall; he limps away the, his chances of survival as prey gets scarcer now very unlikely. As the dry season turns to a drought, Al's limp from the fall gets worse and his right middle toe -which he broke in the fall- has become badly infected. Soon, unable to hunt because of this handicap, he dies in a dried-up riverbed, where two hatchling Allosaurus are hunting for bugs and come across his emaciated carcass where they eat his eyes and tongue and leave. He is said not to have reached full size, dying as a mature adolescent and that the process of his fossilisation was so perfect it preserved even the injuries he sustained in his lifetime including -amongst others- lumps where his ribs healed after their break and the raging infection on his middle toe even the hedgehog he stepped on. The narrator concludes the special stating how Big Al, in death, represents a frozen moment in the fast and furious life of a carnivorous dinosaur.
Now I'm going to do the worst part of WWD, Walking With Dinosaurs 3D and I'm going to remove the voices and keep it as an actual documentary
In the early cretaceous a few million years before the fourth episode of WWD a thing that was actually good and next to the western interior seaway. Patchi is the youngest and smallest in a litter of tiny baby Torosaurus like dinosaurs that are being out competed by pronghorn like mammals. Their father Bulldust the leader is the leader of the herd. Patchi is also attacked by a bird, which attempts to eat him, but he is saved by his caring mother, resulting in Patchi having a hole in his frill as an injury.
Later, Bulldust moves his herd south as well, but when they try to pass through a forest, they are forced to flee when the local Dromaeosaurs make fire to flush out some pronghorns and a forest fire erupts. Taking advantage of the chaos, a pack of dromaeosaurs attacks the scattered herd. They kill most of Patchi and Scowler's family, while their leader and alpha, Gorgon, fights and kills Bulldust while he’s trying to run away as he cares nothing about his children thanks to his kind's ability to breed like rabbits. Afterwards, Patchi's herd, now led by Bulldust's mate, combine with a female named Juniper's herd as they continue their migration. Gorgon's pack attacks them again, and in the ensuing chaos, Patchi, Scowler, Juniper (and many others) fall into a river and are swept downstream to the ocean all juveniles but Juniper, Scowler and Patchi killed in the process, with a scavenger bat following them from above. At a beach, Scowler follows a herd of rhino like mammals to find food, leaving Patchi and Juniper behind as they are scarred up and Juniper's eye is destroyed. The two make their way through a forest and eventually are able to find their herd and Scowler.
After years of making the same migration from north to south and vice versa, the leader of the herd is killed in a river by two cetans Scowler confronts his brother and his gang of friends and challenges him for a battle in exchange for leadership of the herd. Scowler, as he is much stronger and larger than Patchi, quickly gains the upper hand and defeats his brother by trapping him under a young tree before disowning him and ordering Juniper, along with the rest of the herd, to leave Patchi behind. Despondent and heartbroken, Patchi, now trapped underneath the tree and unable to do anything, attempts to accept his fate by allowing scavengers to kill and eat him but thanks to a pterosaur literally pecking out his eye while looking at a butterfly he has the rage to go out fighting.
Reinvigorated by the bat, Patchi and his friends (actually just a bunch of dragonflies that live on his back but like him despite their intelligence) escapes and fights off the scavengers, before catching up to the herd, only to find them confronted by Gorgon and her pack once more (now its gets dark) they manage to scare most of the herd and a bunch of Pronghorn like mammals into a river which causes most to drown, during the battle between Gorgon and the ceratopsians. Scowler pushes Juniper accidentally into a hole with a spike and kills her. patchi in a fit of rage fights Scowler and has his last remaining eye gouged out but he manages to push him off a cliff that was there and while Patchi looks like he's contemplating his action when he is just standing there when Gorgon and her pack kill him, meanwhile a male approaches Gorgon and drops the head of Juniper in front of her she accepts this and leaves to mate.
It then cuts to the survivors who are building up their nest and thanks to their rerouted migration which saves them and their kind from extinction from the Pronghorns. Gorgon's pack have to move away and the lovely gory ecosystem collapses a few million years after this thanks to the arrival of Brutodon which out compete the definitely not sauropod replacement mammals that look like giraffes that will become the largest creatures on earth and it ends on one of Gorgon's young evolving WWM style into the giant theropods from Nigel Marvin's adventures with the largest creatures on earth. The credits this time are of a before and after showing the area in Patchi and friends era and in Nigel marvin's adventures era showing the river area where Patchi was killed into the river area where the Brutodon laid their eggs.

Hello fellow small business owners! I'm currently assisting my partner in planning a new venture where he wants to offer live streams and charge a monthly fee for access. We're looking for a platform that is user-friendly and supports mobile phone filming, similar to the functionality of Instagram Live. It's important for us to find a platform that promotes freedom of speech and doesn't impose censorship. Additionally, we want participants to have the ability to ask questions during the live streams. We would greatly appreciate any recommendations or insights on platforms that meet these requirements. Any ideas what platform we could use?

So new handicap system seems to calculate the score differential as
(amount of strokes taken rounded down to 1st score that is a scratch in SF (i.e. a Quad becomes a double for a scratch player) - Par of course) - (par of Course - Course Rating) x 0.9 in my golf club.
Where does this 0.9 come from (it is rounded from 0.86956) it's wrecking my head. 😅
The figure changes per golf club as its 0.816 in a par 72 with a Course rating of 71.5
and .93 in a par 70 with a course rating of 70.5
my course is a par 72 wit course rating of 72.5
TIA

I don't even know if I'm looking for advice, just maybe words of comfort.
I've been dating my boyfriend for a year now, we're both late 30s. We were incredibly happy and have an amazing connection. Never even fought. I can honestly say this is the best relationship I've ever been in and I've never been happier.
We had just begun to think about the future together when he brought up that he was having doubts. He's ready to do things like buy a house, but my student loan debt scares him. That's totally valid and I understand his perspective and fear.
Admittedly, my debt is large. My mom was a single parent and struggled, so I had to take out loans to make it through both undergrad and grad school. I admit that I probably took out more than I needed, but I was a stupid kid and thought I'd easily pay everything off. I graduated into the recession and it took a long time for me to advance in my career and make a decent salary. I also didn't have great examples in managing money in my parents, but I thought since I was doing better than them (always paying bills on time, near perfect credit score) that my situation wasn't too horrible. None of this is an excuse. I understand the gravity of the situation and take full responsibility for my choices. I can see now how dire it is and I'm willing to do everything to fix this.
But it seems like he's going to be ending things. While I totally understand his perspective and appreciate where he's coming from, it still hurts. It feels like my debt outweighs all of the other great things I bring to the table as a loving and supportive partner. Especially since I'm willing to take this issue seriously and make changes. Yet he's not even giving me a chance to work on this.
Perhaps it's a bullet dodged for both of us. Because it also makes me wonder that if we continued on, when the next big problem comes up, he'd just run away instead of working on things as a team.

I'm so confused and I feel terrible rn. So my parents have been abusive twords me in the past in many ways. They would beat me for little to no reason most times they'd make me babysit cook clean feed ECT my lil sibling and adults along with too many dogs. And for a long time we lived in filth because I was the only one cleaning and I couldn't keep up with 6 different people living in our house. They also emotional and mentally abused me. So obviously I (transm16) would be mad at my parents especially my mother since she hasn't changed at all.
I was on the way to an interview for a job I didn't get and me and my mom's girlfriend started talking about my mother. The conversation went into my past and how I'm mad that my parents did what they did, and I'm getting a job so I won't be home all day and I can save money for myself. She started to say how I felt was weird and then said "when you get older you'll realize that parenting has no handbook and they do things that aren't good but they still love you. I remember when my step mom insert abuse here (not my place to say what she went through) and I ran from her but I still forgave my dad even though he never helped. Your mom was Ina abusive relationship with your dad which caused her to do this all. You'll see and forgive her one day"
I obviously got a bit upset because I thought she was the one person who'd actually listen to me and not say something like that to me. I just changed the subject but it still hurts. I know parenting is hard I Basically raised my siblings but I think that a good parent would make sure their childrens house was atleast not filled with dogs and trash everywhere. I'd think a parent wouldn't leave their job for the kids to do. I think a responsible parent wouldn't give their 12 year old kid a gun on their birthday even though they asked for new glasses.i think a responsible parent wouldn't spend so much money on their partners and weed Instead of making sure there was food. I think a responsible parent wouldn't make their child a therapist for themselves, and it got so bad their kid doesn't know how to help themselves and will stay Ina abusive friendship and get groomed by grown women and men just because they are offered something the parent never gave. I'd think that would be you know the basics but apparently there needs to be a handbook for this all now. I just feel so betrayed because the girlfriend was supposed to be the one person i could trust but now I don't. Since of course she went and told my mom everything I said, so now I'm shutting down again. I know on here there's people that'll give me advice and I need that right now. Do I completely shut the girlfriend off too now??

Some of these ideas are being implemented right now in some form or another, but they are not widespread.. yet. However, sooner or later, they will become the norm. For me, it is a matter of when, and not a matter of if. When that happens, I do not want to be alive to witness it.

• Hiding "extra" features like overclocking behind a subscription paywall, like what some car manufacturers are doing now
• Steam, charging gamers a monthly fee if they want to play online
• YouTube-like-ads in paid pc games where you get interrupted every few minutes unless you pay a subscription fee
• Nvidia or Intel becoming a monopoly
• AI games becoming the new norm and killing all forms of human creativity
• Games no longer offer an escape from reality, but a reflection of our social life where you have to pay to enjoy the experience
• Outlawing reverse engineering

Team size is approximately 20, and only a few of us are local. Ages range from 20s to 50s. We're based out of downtown Minneapolis and that's where out of town folks are staying, but the company would pay for transportation. Looking for dinner and an activity on a weeknight in June. I would love to reserve a space to guarantee seating and a semi-private area. One idea was to reserve the patio at Brit's for lawn bowling, but it's booked for the night we want it.

Hey All,
Early this year, I quietly rolled out a coverage map that allows users to compare coverage among the three major networks throughout the US. The map is finally polished to a state where I'm ready to draw attention to it.
Try it here: CoverageCritic.com/map
The map is shaded based on predicted signal strengths. I start with data collected by the FCC then adjust it based on in-house testing.
With a single click, you can toggle between networks or technologies (i.e., 4G vs. 5G).
I have a more detailed post about the map at https://coveragecritic.com/2023/05/31/the-coverage-critic-coverage-map/

Feedback:

I'm pleased with the map's current state, but it's far from perfect. I'd love to gather feedback on the map from the community here. Let me know what you think & what I can improve!
Also, I should acknowledge a few major issues upfront:

• Alaska and Colorado are missing
• Verizon's LTE coverage in sections of the Northeast isn't correctly represented
• Sometimes things get wonky around bodies of water or state borders

Pretty sure I'll largely resolve those issues with the next major release of the map. That update will also incorporate new data & add more networks (US Cellular & Dish)

Hey everyone. I'm transferring into a Computer Engineering program, and I'll be focusing on logic design for my upper-division coursework ... but since I've spent the last year finishing up CS transfer reqs, I haven't solved anything beyond some basic algebra problems in a long time.
Here are the program requirements.
I've taken DE, LA, and calc 123, but a lot of that has faded in the last year. Does anyone have any recommendations on what skills I should focus on relearning over the summer, or is it all going to be like the circuits course I took where we need DE for a single proof, but immediately learn how to piece out the problems into little algebra chunks?

Hi everyone,
I’m currently working a job where a part of it involves a lot of repetitive tasks in Microsoft 365 programs. I’ve been using VBA macros to automate these tasks with great success. My method has been to use the record macro function and do some light editing in the code by hand. I’ve also tried using chat GPT and Bing AI to generate VBA macros, but it’s not optimal.
Does anyone have any suggestions for the best AI to use for this? I know Microsoft is planning to implement this into their 365 software, but it’s not out yet and I doubt my company will pay for it.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello all. I am a older sister of a 13 year-old. My younger sister is considered obese. She’s to the point where she’s very sensitive to sugar. She’s in the highest BMI in her age. Some characteristics that she has from soon being diagnosed with diabetes is having a really dark neck. You can see that her body is telling her to stop consuming sugar and that her body is asking her to get help. Now my family in general has health problems because of obesity. And everyone acts like it can never be reversed. But that’s obviously not true.
My sister is staying with me over the summer, and I was thinking about having her fast with me. Now remember she is 13 years old and weighs almost 300 pounds. Doing one meal a day or alternate day fasting won’t kill her at all. At least I hope it won’t. She isn’t happy. And I’ve been trying to tell my mother and her that you can be happy if you change. So do you guys think fasting is OK for her age? If she doesn’t reverse her weight, she will have diabetes by the time she is 15 or 16. I think, combined with obviously eating right and walking. But I think extended fasting would benefit her a lot. Especially she’ll be with me and she’ll be in a safe area. I’ve done fasting for days. So I think I know what I’m doing. I just want to help my sister have a better life.
So is fasting OK for her age?

I was really happy to see themes promoting veganism in the GOTG3. It didn't really come as a surprise considering James Gunn is vegan himself and has actively spoken out against animal cruelty. What did you all think?
Spoilers for GOTG3 below. Here are some reasons I thought the movie did a great job promoting veganism:

• The movie's villain, Adam Warlock, is a product of animal testing. Warlock was created by Ayesha, the Sovereign, a group of highly advanced beings who use animals for experimentation. This shows the audience the dark side of animal testing and the suffering that animals go through.
  
• The movie's heroes, the Guardians of the Galaxy, are opposed to animal testing. They fight against Ayesha and the Sovereign, and they eventually free Warlock from their control. This shows the audience that there is a better way to create life, without harming animals. The movie's message is one of compassion for all living beings. The Guardians of the Galaxy are a diverse group of characters, but they are all united by their love of life and their desire to protect the innocent. This message is especially relevant in the context of animal testing, which is a cruel and unnecessary practice.
  

Overall, Guardian of the Galaxy Volume 3 is a movie that promotes veganism through its themes around animal testing and cruelty. The movie's villain is a product of animal testing, the heroes are opposed to animal testing, and the movie's message is one of compassion for all living beings. This makes Guardian of the Galaxy Volume 3 a powerful film that can help to raise awareness about the issue of animal testing and encourage people to go vegan.
In addition to the arguments above, there are also some specific scenes in the movie that seem to be intended to prompt viewers to think about veganism. For example, there is a scene where Rocket Raccoon is shown being experimented on by the Sovereign. This scene is clearly meant to evoke sympathy for Rocket and to make viewers question the ethics of animal testing.
Another scene that seems to be intended to prompt viewers to think about veganism is the scene where the Guardians of the Galaxy meet Adam Warlock. In this scene, Adam Warlock is shown to be a kind and compassionate being. However, he is also a product of animal testing. This scene seems to be meant to show viewers that even a kind and compassionate being can be the product of cruelty.
Overall, Guardian of the Galaxy Volume 3 is a movie that seems to be making a strong case for veganism. The movie's themes around animal testing and cruelty are powerful and thought-provoking. The movie also features several scenes that seem to be intended to prompt viewers to question the ethics of animal testing and to consider going vegan.

I did the latest firmware update to my S7 Max V Ultra last night, and let it mop/vacuum most of the house before I went to bed.
When I looked at the app in the morning and saw the paths it took during the cleaning, I could immediately see it did a better job than it has before!
I know some people on here commented, earlier, that they really didn't see any difference in the cleaning before/after the last firmware update. But this is noticeably better in my situation. (EG. In my master bedroom, it used to make maybe 3 passes back and forth across the room in front of my bed, and only a half-effort to clean around the side of it facing my window. It seemed like it would eventually get the room completely vacuumed but only after 2 or 3 consecutive runs. Last night, it had lots of lines where it clearly went back and forth, getting everything covered.) And since we just replaced an old ceiling fan in my room, there was some random debris in the carpeting from stuff that fell from the ceiling during the work. I could tell that was all vacuumed up today.
So very pleased with this update!
