Extra wide stadium seats with backs

I’ve been dealing with this problem for almost a week now. My PC will freeze completely at random, usually with each app freezing one at a time (including the taskbar) over a few seconds. Ctrl-alt-delete or any similar keyboard commands do not work. However, my mouse still moves freely (though sometimes with extreme lag), and audio seems to continue playing. I am also able to sometimes move around application windows, before they also freeze after a few seconds. In one of the most recent freezes, for example, my game audio was stuck in a loop but kept playing, and I was able to continue talking with my friend on Discord for about a minute before that stopped working and I apparently disconnected from voice chat.
I cannot figure out any trigger to the freeze - sometimes it seems okay and I’m able to play various games for a few hours before it eventually freezes mid-game, and other times it will freeze almost immediately after I restart and log in, with almost nothing running, and will keep freezing after multiple restarts. It even freezes in safe mode. Once it’s frozen the only thing I can do is manually shut it down with the power button.
Solutions I have tried: -SFC, DISM, and chkdsk multiple times (all seem to come back with nothing to repair) -Full virus scan with Windows Defender -Memory Diagnostic Tool (no issues found) -Uninstalling any programs that might cause issues (saw some people mention iCUE which I had) -Reset Windows (keeping personal files) -Disabled Intel C-State in Bios -Probably other things I’m forgetting at the moment
BIOS is up to date, temperatures seem normal, Intel’s diagnostic tool indicates no CPU errors. Event Viewer and Reliability Monitor do not include any related info beyond the system shutting down unexpectedly. I have never overclocked.

I also have an Asus 2tb hard drive that I used to use with Windows 7, but is now just hooked up as an extra drive that I rarely touch.
I am getting really frustrated with this and would be super grateful for any ideas for potential solutions. Thanks!

I have been in a relationship for 2.5 years now. This is my first relationship (but my gf has had two previous ones).
I would describe our relationship as mostly very happy and satisfying - I have never felt this close to a person or had this sort of a bond with anyone before, and this is quite literally the truth. I am an introvert and am socially awkward and reclusive (the sort that would stay in than go out), and being an overachiever since my childhood didn't help - regardless of how helpful, kind, understanding and open I try to be, I have trouble making friends (indeed, have been "used" by some several times).
My girlfriend is my first genuine friend (and possibly the only one as well atm) - for people who are wondering how I ended up dating someone, its due to the pandemic. People like me are a bit more talkative online and we hit it off (there was also some luck involved) due to my sense of humour.
However, we have developed fractures in our relationship for the past year. For my side, I have some issues - the main one is about her hanging out with others. Before anyone gives me hell for this, lemme clarify - I have trust issues (childhood sexual abuse; happens in guys too, yes) and have been socially isolated for most of my life from peers. In short, I have never been able to express my affection/emotions to others and have never received verbal affirmation of affection or acknowledgement from parents/anyone else which has led me to constantly seek external validation and affirmation.
My trust issues lead me to be jealous of others and I have known this to be completely wrong from day one. Nevertheless, we talked (and fought) about this at the very beginning (when things opened up after lockdowns and I finally realised that my girlfriend is actually social and extroverted - around last year), but even at that time, I acknowledged this as my problem and told her I would work on it. And, I did - mostly by engaging myself in something I loved doing when I knew she was out with friends (so that I didn't feel left out). It worked well (and my tendency to get upset reduced to nearly nothing). It was not a smooth journey, and there were a handful of times we fought, but right now, even she will agree that I have more or less overcome it.
Even then, our relationship was not the same as in the beginning - she took time out for friends and I took time out for myself as well regardless of whether she was free or not, and adding to our hectic schedule, this kind of increased the distance between us (we no longer talked as often throughout the day as we used to). However, things recently became worse - I mentioned that I would pretty much die for some validation and affirmation, and I have not been getting it from her for the past ~ 5 months. She doesn't say "I love you"s as often as she did, she has completely stopped saying things like "I miss you" or "I wish you were here" and so on. I have raised this issue several times with her and we have fought all times (I don't really remember what her defense was, but we did spiral away from this issue to others). While we generally have had a healthy and honest relationship, we tend to have intense fights since both of us are temperamental and stubborn, so the distance has just increased after each blow-up.
Recently, she has been very busy as well (both of us are Master's students) with some extra lab work and for the past 3 - 4 months, it's been very difficult to go on dates for even an hour. I didn't mind this, I am very pressed for time as well usually, but not to the extent of not having 1 hour in 3 months (we live separately and it isn't possible for us to meet after 6 say; not like it matters, she works till 9). What I have noticed however is that she has had time for hangouts with friends in this time (recently in fact) and has taken days off to go out with family; I have seen her choose to be a bit late (like 30 minutes?) for her work too, so she could hangout with friends after classes. In the same time, I have tried to get her to go out with me for even an hour or so, she either has classes or she says that she doesn't want to eat random stuff (not on a diet) or that she has to work in her lab (even if its 1 hour in the middle of classes). I didn't say anything at first, but in a recent fight, I said what had been on my mind - her recent idea of eating "healthy" and her insistence to visit her lab (even if it is for 15 minutes) instead of meeting up with me were excuses to not spend time with me and she obviously enjoys the company of her friends more than her boyfriend - she took it differently to what I expected and accused me of trying to make her choose between her friends and me (not my intention - I did not control my jealousy just to do this) and then said she was really stressed and had to work a lot and "you should at least be the most understanding but idk you're not" and that our schedules never matched (not true again) and that she always tried to control her diet (once again, not true - she does have insecurities regarding her weight, which I do not mind at all, and she has often said she would like to diet, but hasn't yet started and she has eaten out occasionally even in the middle of all this). Anyways, there was no resolution but we made up - we even went out a couple of times last month, though not for long.
Well, recently she told me she wanted to take a break from our relationship - needed time to think if she was ready for one (we're dating for 2.5 years) and that it would be beneficial for me too since it would be refreshing for me to meet new people (I am out for around 2 months in the summer at the different place for a project - I am not a social person, so I am sure she is aware that it would definitely not be refreshing for me to meet new people). I gave her a choice - break up or stay and work on our problems. She hemmed and hawed (this is where I got emotional and said things like "I have no one else; I'll just go back to being lonely af" and she said, "I am tired of being your only friend") and while she did decide to stay and work things out, I came off feeling that I was inadequate (because she explicitly stated several times that people in love decide to stay together despite the fact that they don't need each other).
For the past couple weeks (this was 3 weeks ago), I have moved to the new place and been adjusting - I text her throughout the day on what's going on, the new cuisine, my work and stuff - she works through the day till like 9 - 9.30 at night. She calls me at that time and tells me about her day, and replies to my texts later (if she doesn't fall asleep). We've not fought since then, but we've not had the chance to either tbh.
In any case, I am a bit in a dilemma - she still doesn't say ilys (unless I say it first) or stuff as I mentioned, she seems to have forgotten how insecure I am and desperate for affirmation, and I remember her saying "not needing" me quite vividly. All in all, I don't know if she actually wants to be with me and the fact that I am of no use to her (quite literally - earlier she used to talk about her problems and stuff, and that honesty has gone down with time and I really don't know why; I was always an understanding and non-judgemental listener and she has said so herself several times but now it really seems like she doesn't need a shoulder; even when I am upset, she rarely asks what's wrong) stings. I feel like she is taking me for granted (I have always done a lot of supportive stuff for her - staying up late to support her emotionally and mentally when she had stuff to work on, giving her a shoulder to cry on, always encouraging her, making her proud of her body; I may have been jealous, but I also had a lot of affection stored up since my childhood that I lavished on her) and I have mentioned this to her but to no avail really - whenever I raise an issue like this where you'd expect a partner to be understanding, she gets defensive (as if I were accusing her of something), and we fight on everything under the sun and reach no resolution. Recently (after that take a break stuff), she said she'd not send me nudes for now because she is not as comfortable as before - I didn't cause an issue on that, it would have been wrong to, but I can't help feel upset either (not because she won't send pics - she's not sent me a pic in like 6 months), it's more like I always prided myself on being a safe space for her and now I am not even that and it really hurts. Since we seemed to be doing better the past few weeks, I asked her a couple of days ago if she'd say she was comfortable now (once again, I have/had no intention of asking for a picture), but she said that while it was better, she was not there yet - it stung me (though I did not raise an issue again). If you have been following this rather long rant, I'm sure you'd know that it's not the action that hurts me, but the reason behind it (that she no longer sees me as a safe space).
Anyways, I just want to know... Should I let her go? I don't want to take a break, because it's not going to benefit me in any way, I'll just not be able to talk or text the only person I can in a new place where I know no one else - on the other hand, I am 100% sure she doesn't have anyone lined up either, idk how I know this, but she's not that kind of person. I don't want a break up (both of us still have feelings, I do, and she says she does and I have no reason to not believe her), but well, maybe sometimes that is the right thing to do. At the same time, we know we love each other and that is evident in the ease/comfort we have around each other when we are together (this is a big sign, especially for me), so maybe it's not over yet?
TL;DR - GF seems to take me for granted and won't listen or resolve issues I have in the relationship; says she's not as comfortable and wanted to take a break - Should I breakup or stay and hope it will work out?

Personally I don't think Mikasa married Jean or someone else after Eren's death. For those who say or think that she married Jean, let me clarify this: throughout the series it is true that Jean has always had a crush on her and this since their first meeting, to the point of fantasizing about a life with her in a rich and lively neighborhood. Mikasa on the other hand has never given Jean a single romantic look because the only man in her mind is Eren. This attention she paid to Eren is one of the reasons for Jean's animosity and jealousy towards the latter. Throughout the series, Mikasa has always displayed a calm, stoic and somewhat introverted personality and she has never been interested in any man in the series. The only man in front of whom she displayed a different personality is and always has been Eren. As for Jean, Connie, Armin, she sees them as her friends, her comrades, her companions. I have marked in the photos below with blue arrows the clues on which I rely to demonstrate that Mikasa did not marry after Eren's death. I will go deeper with detailed explanations:
1) The red scarf : Throughout the series, we saw Mikasa wear and keep the scarf that Eren gave her after saving her from the traffickers who had killed her parents, specifically after she let him know she was cold. As you know, this scarf originally belonged to Eren. After saving her, Eren welcomed her into her family. It was this selfless action that laid the foundation for Mikasa's deep love for him, so much so that at the time of his death, when Eren, in the chapter "A long dream", asked her to forget about him and get rid of the scarf, she categorically refused. In the official book, Marina Inoue (Armin's VA) stated that the scarf is Eren and Mikasa's "Engagement Ring". Isayama declared that this scarf is the red thread of fate. The red thread of fate means that 2 people are made for each other, and Mikasa continued to wear this scarf when she died. As you surely know, the red thread of fate binds the souls of two people who love each other deeply and passionately. No matter how stretched, tangled or frayed, it can never be broken.This scarf, I marked it on the 2 pages.
2) Roses: In most cultures there is what is called the symbolism of flowers. As you know, during the years after Eren's death, Mikasa never stopped thinking about him and constantly visited him at his grave so that he wouldn't feel lonely. She always placed roses on his grave to let him know that her feelings for him and her desire to be with him did not change, as the end of the manga and the extra pages show. Although the official manga is not in color, there is no doubt in my mind that these roses are red roses. If you wonder why the red color, then read carefully the explanations below 👇👇👇👇.
The color red is a symbol of love, beauty and passion par excellence in the language of flowers as in the common language. Red roses will be perfect for a declaration of love. They will send a message of true love to the loved one. Of all roses, the red rose is considered the queen of flowers. I'm going to dwell on the number of roses Mikasa left on Eren's grave and their meanings.
✔️At the end of the manga and on the 1st additional page, Mikasa put 4 roses on Eren's grave. 4 roses: this is a message of confidence in the future since four roses mean that nothing will come between you and your lover. It shows your commitment and the strength of your feelings towards the person you love.
✔️In her old age, more precisely when her life is coming to an end, Mikasa is seen on the following additional page laying a rose on Eren's grave. 1 rose: giving a single rose is telling the other person that you have fallen in love with them at first sight. One rose is a strong symbol of the uniqueness of the person you love.
Mikasa's message to Eren is clear: "She fell in love with him at first sight, when he rescued her from human traffickers and welcomed her into his family without knowing anything about her, and that love has remained intact and is still strong, even after his death. She can never love another man the way she loves Eren, Eren is unique in her eyes."
Given these elements of analysis, I don't understand how there can be people who still believe that she married Jean. As for the significance of the number of roses, I have done some research on this and it is very reliable. But even so, I know that those who support the JeanKasa ship will find ways to contradict me.
3) The inscription engraved on the tombstone: Mikasa did not put Eren's name on the tombstone. Instead, she said on the stone what Eren was to her all this time. Here is the inscription according to some fans of the couple who did research: ''Here forever, rest in peace my beloved, my dear''. Mikasa finally gave here the answer to Eren's question in chapter 123: "What am I to you?". Eren was her beloved, her dear. However, I heard that it's a mistranslation. The actual message is even sadder and deeper. "Here lies my dearly beloved, the love of my life, forever drifting off to sleep." Also, the characters she uses to refer to Eren as typically used to address one's spouse, so she's talking about Eren as a wife would speak about her husband. According to this logic, this means that the kiss, in addition to expressing her love for Eren and sealing her promise to see him again in another life, was also Mikasa's way of sealing their union. In conclusion, Mikasa became a widow on her wedding day.
4) The deathbed dotted with lilies: Once again, I will mention the symbolism of flowers. The lily in common traditions symbolizes purity and virginity. The fact that Mikasa's deathbed was dotted with these flowers means that she remained a virgin until her death. So she didn't have a child. The man who appears with her on the 1st page cannot be her husband, nor is the child hers.
5)The Azumabito emblem on her right wrist: According to the tradition of the Azumabito that his mother instilled in her when she engraved the seal, Mikasa had to pass on the same seal in turn to her children(precisely on their right wrist) and erase hers to make it clear that she had transmitted it. But on the 2nd page, we still see her with this bandage during her old age, which means that she has not passed it on to any child. In other words, Mikasa did not have a child, nor did she adopt one. If she had adopted a child, she would have passed on her seal to him, even if the child is not of her blood. For those who want to contradict me, I will get ahead of them by raising a fact: the scenes where Mikasa's mother appeared in the series, whether it was the anime, the manga or the OVA, she no longer had the seal of the Azumabito on her right wrist. It means that she had passed it on to her daughter.
There are clues outside the pages that support my thinking:
A) Mikasa's refusal to forget Eren after his death: As you know, Mikasa's dream in chapter 138 represents the alternate reality that shows how things would have gone between her and Eren if she had confessed her love to him. In this reality shows that Eren gave Mikasa back the feelings she has for him and gave up everything to run away with her in order to make her happy for the remaining 4 years of his life. In this reality, Eren asked Mikasa to forget him completely when he died. In the 2 realities, Mikasa refused to conform to Eren's last wish and wrapped her scarf around her neck. Through this action, she let Eren know that she would eternally cherish all the memories she has of him, especially this red scarf he gave her to protect her from the cold and which is the symbol of their love.
B) The fact that she said "See you later Eren" instead of "Goodbye Eren'' and the kiss she gave him after beheading him: Usually when a person we care about dies, we tend to say "Goodbye". The fact that Mikasa said "See you later Eren" shows that she doesn't see her encounter with Eren in the titan's mouth as the last. She remains hopeful of seeing him again in another life. The kiss she gave him was not only a kiss of love, but also a kiss to seal her promise to find him in another life so that she would never be separated from him again.
Anyway, Isayama did not make an official statement regarding Mikasa's life after Eren's death. Everything written above is just my own interpretation. The only thing we know, from the end of the manga and the extra pages, is that she left the army to live a normal life. What is certain for me is that Mikasa by her fertile beauty and beautiful exotic traits aroused the desires of many men after Eren's death, but none of them managed to ignite her passion and heart as Eren did.
Note:
✔️Throughout the series, Mikasa has always wanted to be alongside Eren and she even clearly let Armin know. That's why she joined the army, it's also why she joined the survey corps. If Eren had chosen the military police, she would have joined the military police as well. If Eren had chosen the garrison, she would have joined the garrison as well. Even though Isayama did not show Mikasa's grave on the additional pages, I can safely say that she buried alongside Eren at the time of her death.
✔️Mikasa's character theme song, ''No Matter Where You Are'', is sung from Mikasa to Eren. In the song, she begs Eren to not go, not to leave her alone in the cold, and that he is her home to return to, no matter where he is. It is sung by Yui Ishikawa, Mikasa's voice actress.
✔️Isayama mentioned in the Final Attack on Titan Guidebook that Mikasa was going to originally kiss Eren back in Chapter 50 but he felt too shy drawing the scene.
✔️On page 45 of the official final guidebook, there are sketches representing the original appearance Isayama wanted Mikasa and Armin to have at the end of the manga. If we look closely, we notice that Armin here has the same hairstyle as the person next to Mikasa in front of Eren's grave on the additional pages. This is enough to convince me that it is Armin who stands next to Mikasa on the 2 additional pages of my publication. In fact, the tree at the foot of which Eren was buried is the same one the three of them used to play at as children. These sketches were drawn by Isayama himself and are the 3rd image above.
✔️Isayama has stated that separating Eren and Mikasa permanently won't be satisfying for him.

Well reddit, I did the challenging series of tasks that are, ironically, required to get diagnosed

1. Find psychiatrist, one that will not shame your marijuana use and self-medicating methods. One that also is willing to prescribe stimulants. Many in this city won't even consider it.
2. Talk about your problems at length, try to impress to yet another mental health professional that you do not think you're bipolar.
3. Work with psychiatrist to get a blood test and rule out anything else. Repeat blood test a week later, after waiting in the lobby for two hours when first sample didn't make it to the lab
4. Start supplements for vitamin deficiencies, deficiencies not helped by irregular and challenged eating habits
5. Go to a neuropsychologist as recommended by psychiatrist. Sit in a bleak little office repeating back a list of random words from memory and drawing exercises. Cry, even when you didn't think you were going to.
6. Get take-home work to express your personal challenges based on ADHD criteria. Get ADHD partner to fill out one from his perspective. Oh, and you have to mail it in.
7. Mail in your forms 5 months later...lol
8. Attend final appointment with neuropsychiatrist to go over results. Cry again, even when you didn't think you were going to. Get ADHD diagnosis
9. Attend yet another psychiatrist appointment. You now have a diagnosis, and you get to try meds!

I'd previously been put on short-term release Adderall from my random GP years ago, and I honestly hated it. It worked, but I also crashed multiple times a day, and frequently forgot to take my second dose. Woof. I quit cold turkey once I ran out.
Now I'm on the extended release version, and it's like night and day. I don't feel as jittery because it's not so concentrated, I'm not in a bad mood once it's worn off, and I can feel its support even a little past my workday.
Today is the second day in a row I sat down and got my work done in a timely fashion. Tidied my apartment without internally wrestling with myself and lying on my couch paralyzed. And, felt present enough to enjoy quietly lying next to my kitty and petting her soft fur without the need for extra stimulus.
I know it's the honeymoon phase, but I couldn't really conceive of what it would feel like to get something done for work without thinking about it in a million ways and then ultimately not doing it because I feel too anxious about doing it wrong. Turns out, people can just do things they vehemently don't want to do? I've been missing out!
Anyway, thanks for reading my goofy essay. I appreciate this sub and wouldn't have gotten as far as I did without the support and insight from all of you lovely people. Very psyched to post a success story. :-)

Hi everyone. I am a first year PGDip student Adult nurse. I missed my first placement due to an admin error. I am on a retrieval placement of 4 weeks currently but still have 75 hours to make up as the initial placement that I missed was 6 weeks. I have also missed out on hours from the bank holiday as my current placement is in a clinic and they do not offer OT and missed out on hours because I was sent 2 different links to a weekly virtual placement and thought I had to attend on Wednesdays but I actually have to attend on Thursday so I mistakenly took Wednesday off this week when I should have been in. I am feeling a little burnt out? I think because I have 3 back to back placements with a week off between the first and second and then a week coming up between the second and third but we have an online session for that whole week so it doesn't really feel like a break. I have reached out to my tutor for some reassurance but feel the heavy weight of so many extra hours to make up. It currently stands at 135ish hours. I am going to try to make up some of these in my final placement for this year but then will have to carry the burden over to next year. I love this course and really want to be a nurse. I feel like I am putting in a good amount of effort and not really feeling any reciprocation. I just recently failed an essay that I spent a lot of time/effort on as well so feeling disheartened by that too. I know I signed up for an intensive course and I feel like I was managing it well but the constant worry of hours is effecting me. I really hope this doesn't come off sounding like I'm whining, I just would like some advice from any nurses who found themselves in debt to a lot of hours and what the resolution was. Thanks everyone.

Fuck. I’m not some hot shot software developer.
I graduated high school with C’s. Graduated college with a degree in computer science with a 2.3 GPA. Fuck I even was in all the “extra” help classes all through elementary school. I never even scored anything above “below average” on any of my standardized tests in k-12.
Society has been telling me I’m a moron for my entire life.
I don’t know how the fuck I landed my job, surrounded by colleagues who have never failed at anything and the interns are 4.0 students from MIT and other Ivy League colleges that have 6 figure side projects.
Every time I start a new project, I’m paralyzed by anxiety forever and can’t seem to start the thing because I’m afraid I’m going to fuck it up.
Then I fuck it up because I procrastinated on it for so long because I was scared of fucking it up.
So here I am. Taking a break from being awake for nearing 48 hours with minimal sleep because I need to catch up on a project I’ve procrastinated on.
To put the cherry on top of the situation, rather than telling my boss “oh, I’m having some troubles getting started” on this project, when I was asked for status, I said “yep no problem, should have it by the end of the week”. because I didn’t want to look like an moron for not starting my work for the last week.
I’m so tired of having my life ruled by my anxiety that I’m not good enough for my job.
I’m so tired of feeling like I need everything explained to me like I’m 5 for me to understand it.
I’m so tired of my bosses looking for “bigger” projects for me to “own” so can I “get my name out there”
I’m so tired of having to pop adderall everyday just to do my job.
I’m just so tired.
But fuck that, back to work.

12 month old female. Prescribed keflex yesterday. No smoking/no drinking.
Has had a fever since Monday night. Fever can get up to 104. But is normally ~103. Can be brought down with Tylenol but come back once that wears off. Has vomited twice since it started, one time after crying and the other when in the car seat (also crying). No runny nose/cough.
Took her to the doctor today. Negative strep, negative Covid, no ear infection. Bagged urine sample normal other than few bacteria. Doctor put her on Keflexfor 10 days pending urine culture. Started Keflex tonight.
Can someone just reassure me that this is normal? It seems so odd to me that she can be running a fever for this many days like this.

"This is Nila Otlorra on the ground here at Stend IV with GNN News and we have just had a major breaking development!”
The twilek reporter points up at the sky to her side as the holo-recorder turns to the sky, shaking violently as a shockwave explodes the moment an immense ship breaks the atmosphere, slowing down immediately as it does so.
“We had just learnt of it coming just moments ago and here it has arrived. The Invincible-class Dreadnaught Heavy Cruiser which we have just learned is called the Pilgrim has broken the atmosphere and is now hovering in the sky. This is a very old ship but as you can see it is large, almost 2000 metres long.
The Pilgrim is turning on its axis now and you see it’s displaying Balmorran colours. Do not be alarmed, we know what the Pilgrim is here for. We know Senator Hinch Beltane just hours ago urgently contacted the Senate for additional help to help contain the rapidly deteriorating aftermath of the Army of Life’s terrorist attack during which they released some Clodhoppers into the wild. We know Vice Chancellor Fi Lor immediately relayed the calls for help to his colleagues and within the hour, King Locar of the Zygerrians arrived with multiple retinues to aid in the disaster which has a threat to devastate this picturesque world.
Clodhoppers are notoriously fast breeding and fast maturing, with an appetite which has seen entire planets consumed over a very short time, especially on a planet like Stend IV which does not have any of the clodhopper’s natural predators.”
She points as some of the hangar doors on the Pilgram open, loud klaxons screaming in the air. “The hangar doors are opening on this ancient warship. There are now smaller transport ships descending from the sky. We know these transport ships to contain Balmorran reinforcements – is that… yes it is. I see Senator Beltane, lets go.”
Nila Otlorra runs across the field towards Hinch Beltane who spots her and he greets her with a wide smile. “Senator Beltane! A moment of your time! We arrived alongside the Zygerrian relief force and have heard already the tide has begun to shift. Can you tell us anything at all about the situation?”
“Nila. I am glad you have made it to Stend IV. Yes the situation was rapidly falling out of control. I must confess I personally did not expect this Clodhopper situation to descend into chaos but nonetheless here we are. The clodhoppers mature and breed at an alarming rate and while we began with just a few of them in the wild, that quickly became hundreds and we are guessing thousands. The Army of Life must have brought more than just a few as we had initially feared. I am thankful the Senate, with Vice Chancellor Fi Lor’s leadership immediately answered my calls to help and directed help our way.
But with all the things happening, I just could not risk another day and requested Balmorra Arms’s immediate help. The Pilgrim quickly made a jump from Scarif where it was undergoing outfitting to Balmorra and picked up the reinforcements you can see descending from the skies now. The Pilgrim brings modernised technology from Scarif, consumables from Lothal, crewmen trained on Alsakan, equipment from Balmorra, support droids from our friends at the Techno Union, medical supplies from Thyferra. But more so than all of that, the Pilgrim brings the combined will of the Galactic Republic to help in this moment, in the hopes to avert a disaster.
Nila I am tired, it’s been a week of fighting a foe I had severely underestimated, but in the moment I can only tell you how proud I am to be here to help Stend IV. I am proud of all those who stand here now to defend this planet. I am proud of our United Republic.
Now if you’ll please excuse me, I need to coordinate for the professionals who have come to help our moment of need.”
Hinch turns around and walks away to join a group of gathered at the cruiser he arrived in a week ago. It is apparent the ship has been turned into a makeshift headquarter.
Nila turns back to the holo recorder after a moment of watching Hinch Beltane walk briskly away. With the image of the Pilgrim in the background, all the gathered forces working in unison, she says, “This is an incredible day to be in the Galactic Republic. We do not know if the tide has turned, but it sure feels like something momentous is sure to happen. This is Nila Otlorra with the Galactic News Network and I’ll be here on hand to report every step of the way.”

The demand for used cars is on the rise due to factors such as inflation, personal mobility preferences, and the soaring costs of new vehicles. Whether motivated by budget constraints or the desire to develop driving skills before investing in a brand-new model, buying a used car can offer excellent value for money. However, it is crucial to approach the process with caution and follow essential steps to ensure a wise investment. This article provides five key steps to help buyers make informed decisions and secure a good used car deal.

1: Exercise Patience and Avoid Hasty Decisions

When considering the purchase of a used car, it is essential not to rush into a decision. With a wide variety of models available in the market, it is easy to be swayed by visually appealing options. However, it is crucial to take the necessary time to thoroughly explore all available choices before making a final purchase. One must remember that appearances can be deceiving, and not everything that glitters is gold. Even if a car appears perfect on the surface, it is important to dig deeper and conduct a comprehensive assessment.

2: Assess the Car's Overall Condition

After narrowing down the options, it is crucial to carefully examine the overall condition of the selected used car. If one possesses technical knowledge about vehicles, they can perform the inspection themselves. Otherwise, seeking assistance from a trusted individual knowledgeable about cars is recommended. While a car may seem fine on the outside, a keen eye can identify potential cover-ups and determine its true value.
During the inspection, attention should be paid to details such as paint damage, signs of rusting, and any hidden flaws. The interior of the car should be thoroughly examined, focusing on the quality and functionality of the upholstery, music system, infotainment system, and seats. Additionally, the tires should be inspected for wear and tear, and the wheel alignment should be carefully assessed. Scrutinizing the engine for leaks, corrosion, and cracked tubes is crucial. Furthermore, checking the oil and transmission fluid using a dipstick is recommended.

3: Conduct Multiple Test Drives

Whether purchasing a new or used car, never finalize a deal without taking a test drive. A test drive allows buyers to evaluate the car's performance, functionality of various components, and its handling under different driving conditions. If satisfaction is not achieved with a single test drive, multiple drives should be taken. It is also advisable to have a trusted individual with automotive knowledge accompany the buyer or conduct a test drive on their behalf. Spending a considerable amount of time driving the car will unveil insights that the seller may not disclose.

4: Verify Maintenance RecordsM

Obtaining the maintenance records of the used car is essential to understand its history and any potential issues it may have encountered. Some car owners maintain meticulous records, keeping receipts and notes of servicing dates, while others may not be as organized. Regardless, it is crucial to review the maintenance history before making a purchase. This information provides insights into the car's past care and potential maintenance requirements.

5: Authenticate Registration Certificate and Review Other Documents

Before finalizing the deal, it is important to check the authenticity of the vehicle's registration certificate (RC). The RC contains crucial details such as the owner's name, engine number, and chassis number. Ensuring that the RC is original and not a duplicate (marked as DRC) is crucial. Discussing the DRC status with the seller and confirming the car's registration location is important. The buyer's name should appear on the vehicle's RC before completing the purchase.
Additionally, other important documents, such as the original purchase invoice, insurance papers, road tax receipts, and pollution certificate, should be reviewed. Paying attention to Form 35 and the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the financing company, if applicable, is necessary. Any modifications to the engine's displacement or changes in the vehicle's color should be specified in the registration certificate as well.

Conclusion:

Buying a used car can be a practical and cost-effective choice, but it requires careful consideration and attention to detail. By following these five key steps, buyers can ensure they make informed decisions and secure a good used car that meets their needs while providing value for their money.
It is important to resist the temptation of making hasty decisions and instead take the necessary time to explore different options and thoroughly inspect the overall condition of the car. Conducting multiple test drives will reveal valuable insights into the car's performance and functionality. Reviewing maintenance records will provide a clearer understanding of the car's history and potential maintenance issues.
Verifying the authenticity of the registration certificate and reviewing other important documents will protect buyers from potential legal or financial complications. Ensuring that all necessary paperwork is in order before finalizing the purchase is crucial.
By conducting thorough research and evaluation, buyers can make informed decisions and increase their chances of purchasing a reliable and well-maintained used car.
It is important to remember that purchasing a car is a significant investment, and obtaining the best value for one's hard-earned money should be a priority. With proper care and attention, buying a used car can be a rewarding experience, providing a reliable mode of transportation and long-term cost savings.

I am really struggling with "remembering" how my father was when I was living at home. I've noted some things that made me uncomfortable but idk if I'm overreacting. For extra context I've had friends who even witnessed some of this unfortunately and tell me that it was extremely creepy and weird how he talked and acted towards me from the ages 5-17. So I will just list them out, I need some sort of validation or just know if any of this can be labeled as sexual or I don't even know. I know I'm uncomfortable with it all but idk what it is it was what I was raised with and idk any other way fathers act. So I'm just gonna randomly list what I remember.

• dog whistled at me (I think that's what it's called but like the whistle that men on the street do) I always thought this was something Father's just did but I've had multiple friends say he'd do this and look at me really creepy and say other things as well like calling me "hot" I was around 8-12 when this happened most
  
• my father traveled alot for work and before he'd leave he'd "hug me for how many days he'd be gone" and I was so uncomfortable for this and tried tk suggest just one hug because he'd kind of aggressively squeeze me against him and know that I'm older I feel like he was squeezing my breasts against him. Because he'd do it for a long time like he'd verbally be like "1, 2, 3, 4, 5...." and sometimes he'd be gone for 20 plus days so this would go on and on, I wouldn't hug him back sometimes and I remember my mom sometimes standing their uncomfortable while he did this.
  
• my father would tuck me into sleep after my mom said goodnight to me and I remember not wanting her to leave the room if he was I'm there with me, I also peed my bed ALOT around the ages of 6-8 and I had uti all of the time I had so much pain one time and I didn't even have a uti so I don't know what it was from but I remember crying in pain from my pelvis so I suspect maybe something happened sexually but I'm so disassociated from this time of my life. When he'd tuck me in I remember his hands being really close to my privates or nearly on them but I remember just thinking he's doing it on accident and thought I'd make it awkward if I said anything.
  
• there was a time when I was like 11 and he kissed me full on the lips, kissing on the cheek was always normal with him but I remember him looking me straight on and kissing my lips and feeling super weird about it since he's never done that.
  
• my father also would sometimes buy me clothes that he would tell me not to tell mom about because she would think its inappropriate
  
• especially during dinner times my father wouldn't really say much to me but he wouldn't keep his eyes off of me even while biting his food like looking at my shirt and looking me straight in the eyes
  
• when I would take showers in my teen years we had a house that had a really narrow hallway and one time I was walking to my room which was right around the corner from the washroom and he kinda bolted up the stairs and acted like he needed to get past me to get to his room which was right beside the bathroom. I was naked in my towel from the shower and kind of had to brush against me while I was in the hallway to get past and he had this huge smile on his face while doing it.
  
• we had a bathroom that a kind of see through mirror that was near the driveway where our Compost bin was. Like if the lights are on in this washroom you can see the silhouette of someone on the toilet or someone naked about to take a shower, you would look just fuzzy but you defenitly would be able to see the outline of whoever was in there. Whenever I'd use that washroom to use the toilet or shower my father would happen to be "taking out the compost" for the entire time I was in there. I remember thinking it was a weird coincidence but then I just stayed in there for like 20 minutes and I could see his frame outside the window watching.
  
• my father would also make a ton of sexual jokes, I don't remember what they were but I remember him always saying "I probably shouldn't be telling you this" or "you probably don't get it do you" and then asking if I want him to explain
  
• he left porn on the family computer all the time and would leave it paused on the screen and I'd come home from school and see it on their (I was in elementary)
  

This is my opinion if you guys like Iris that’s completely fine I’m only expressing my opinion on her.
I use to think she was over hated but looking back i got real pissed at her.
So firstly when I first seen Iris in the anime I didn’t really care much for her since I barely knew her and she was at most 7 minutes on screen but I guess at least I thought she was ok and I liked her relation with her sister. But during that time and when the academy arc episodes aired my opinion on her changed and thought she was an idiot since she actually tried to just charge in battle where magic is being sealed and absorbed while there is cult members with guns gauging and ready to snipe at anyone who tries to go in the academy also why technically this is also her fault since she let Sherry and father researching the main artifact that the cult is after in the academy and like I get it since I she trusts Lutheran and she didn’t know that he was the mastermind behind the academy’s and the academy raid itself but still the fact that she let Sherry keep the artifact in the academy and not some private environment where her guards can properly watch over just blows my mind.
Fortunately I still didn’t hate her but when the last arc of season 1 aired I flat out hated her. And her reasoning is the pride took her state of mind and I just want to say that is not going to help justify her since all that going to prove further that she really is an arrogant idiot. To remind you she is the future heir to Midgar so she would definitely get royal education and leadership training but nope all she’s good at is fighting. Her hating on Shadow is completely unreasonable since there is literal proof that shadow garden isn’t the enemy and there are also witnesses like rose and Alexia. And when she fought shadow with an artifact that is when I just laughed at her since I finally realized that she is fodder without it and still gets step on by shadow. And when she cried in the end I was celebrating like crazy seeing her downfall.
Extra Recently after reading Volume 5 I completely lost it she just became one of the dumbest character in the series. Her hate for shadow grew to obsession that she would kill her sister if she gets in the way and she doesn’t even try to listen to her even though Alexia and Claire were witnesses and they had proof but Iris was like nah my thoughts are facts while yours don’t matter.
Also I can’t believe she still think and tries kill shadow when she witness his power like bro she stands literally no chance and it makes me laugh when people says that she will be a threat to Shadow😂.
Iris is fodder and rich mom Gamma would beat her in a fight.

I’m almost financially illiterate, so please bear with me. None of this happens until late 2024, which I think matters due to Stage 3 tax cuts.
I’d like to better understand all the financial factors at play if we rent out our current PPOR, while we ourselves go and rent much (much!) closer to the high school we'd like to send our kids (currently late primary age).
The income we receive from subsequently renting out our current home will be taxed, I imagine in our normal marginal tax rate of 30% (post Stage 3 tax cuts).
The house would bring in just about enough rental income to cover its own P&I minimum repayments, and cover the property management. I think that means it’s positively geared but to be honest it’s all a bit of a mystery to me!
Minimum repayments on current PPOR are $2500pm
It would generate rental income of ~$2800pm
That extra rental income ($2800pm = $33600p.a.) would be considered income for us, and would mean we pay around $10k extra in income tax per year.
Am I missing anything obvious, any other financial factors to consider?
We're conscious of the risks involved in bad landlords for us, bad tenants in our current home etc... and we currently pay around 150% of minimum repayments each month which would likely drop back to minimum repayments only, but the boost to lifestyle from living close to their school would be immense and is (to us) worth paying for.
And yes, I’ll be talking to an accountant to get a proper steer, but I thought this forum might help spot any glaring holes in the plan!
