2023.06.06 17:37 zoinkydoodle How do i stop the spam calls??
I get at least 3 spam calls a day and they are all talking about my “google listing” or “yelp account that needs to be verified.” I am a small business owner but i do not remember signing up for anything with yelp and the only thing i could think of for a google listing would be my website or something. Please help. Ive tried to put my number on the do not call list and it hasnt helped. My only saving grace is that iPhones let you silence unknown callers.

2023.06.06 17:37 ImHereImQueer RV park owner keeps shutting off water
I live in Texas at a rather small RV park. Before I moved here about a year ago the area was going through a extremely bad drought. This is important because the park gets it's water from a well that has apparently run pretty dry.
As a result, the RV park owner will shut off water to the park when he feels like it's getting too low. My issue here is that he will not tell anyone, we will just go to wash dishes or use the bathroom and find that it isn't working. It's usually for a few hours and we just have to keep checking because, again, he doesn't let us know for how long it will be. The frequency of it varies, sometimes it won't get shut off for a whole month and sometimes it's multiple times a week.
I'm coming on here to ask the legality of this. I've tried searching online and only found things about apartments, not RV parks. I'm also curious if this falls under "maintenance" or not, as I believe he doesn't have to let us know if it's for maintenance.

2023.06.06 17:37 MOTOZONO New to IT. Previous guy i stalled some version of an application and I can't find where the script is that installed these apps.
So I work with a small domain. Less than 25 computers. On some of them, an update to an application was made. Yet I have no idea where the new install versions are being copied from. I've looked in Group Policy and can't find list of applications to be down loaded to the domain.
I'm new so I am sure it's simple place to find list of apps to be installed and to what version. I've looked through logon batch scripts, just drive mapping. I've looked at startup scripts and they have none.
I to know where they are being copied from so we can stop the bad copying and have more control of the server. There are apps being copied that are expected but can't find where the domain tells all servers to download.
Any advice is helpful or if you have more questions lmk! I'm lost and want to start making progress on this. Or any tips for new to IT guy to go learn Microsoft stations quickly is very helpful.

2023.06.06 17:37 Sufficient_Tap7295 Looking for my first perfume!
I’m really new to perfumes so I apologize if this description is weird but I’d like a perfume that is reminiscent to laundry detergent (like Downy, Tide)? I’m usually not a huge fan of super fruity or sweet scents. Really just looking for a soft, comforting, clean everyday scent! Ideally I’d like to be able to try this in person first too, so anything that is available in store would be great. I’m locating in NYC if that helps at all, would love to check out small businesses if anyone has tips for those :) Thank you!

2023.06.06 17:37 lauromafra The Thriving World of NFT Gaming: A Deep Dive into Elfin Kingdom
The digital world is bustling with a new form of entertainment that's catching everyone's attention - NFT gaming. This blend of blockchain and gaming has opened up a whole new realm of possibilities, where virtual assets become valuable, tradeable commodities. In this vibrant landscape, Elfin Kingdom stands out as a prime example.
NFT gaming has a dynamic range, but the core concept revolves around the ownership of unique digital assets, often represented as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). These assets can be anything from collectible characters to virtual real estate, each with its own unique value and utility within the game world.
Elfin Kingdom, a virtual decentralized gaming world, is an exemplary model of this. Here, players engage in a range of activities like farming, harvesting, banking, and factory processing within a set of small towns. This interactive gameplay is enriched by the use of NFTs, where players can own, trade, and utilize unique digital assets.
Over the past few weeks, Elfin Games, the creators of Elfin Kingdom, have launched a series of exciting campaigns. One such campaign offered a plethora of rewards and even gave users the chance to design their own unique NFTs using AI-powered tools. They have also collaborated with Opside, a decentralized ZK-RaaS Network, enhancing the ecosystem's development.
In terms of gameplay, Elfin Kingdom offers a Player Versus Player (PVP) mode, where players stake 5 Elfin NFTs to participate. Winning and losing battles affect the players' ranking points, adding a competitive layer to the gameplay. Additionally, the Elfin Kingdom Marketplace introduces an achievement system, rewarding players with exclusive badges for completing platform tasks and games. These badges further unlock access to rewards and opportunities.
Elfin Games has shown a commitment to engaging their community, evidenced by their recent NFT staking campaign and plans for future initiatives. In a more light-hearted engagement, they've also shared amusing AI encounters, adding a touch of humor to the gaming experience.
In conclusion, NFT gaming, exemplified by Elfin Kingdom, is a thrilling addition to the DeFi entertainment space. It offers a diverse and immersive gaming experience that intertwines with the blockchain's unique attributes, creating a landscape full of interactive and rewarding opportunities.

2023.06.06 17:37 Embarrassed_Swim1717 Organizing Board Books
Asking for general ideas / suggestions.
We have a small collection of board books. They take up about three vertical shelving units (half-wall sized). They're organized alphabetically and sit like any other books on the shelf. Naturally, they're well-browsed and used by families doing quick reads, or from kids wanting to touch and grab books. These are super okay behaviors I'd like to encourage more! However, the section just gets so messy and it drives me crazy, so I was curious if anyone has adapted any way of shelving these books that might make it more neat and easily browsed.
Thank you!

2023.06.06 17:36 FriendlyFraulein Playing the ‘is it swelling or just my face’ game.
Quick vent: I’m Day 12 and my swelling has significantly lessened, but I’m now at a point where I’m overanalysing ‘is that swelling or just my face now’
As someone chubbier I guess it’s hard for me to remember what was fat and what is swelling, and while I know logically there’s still some swelling that will take weeks to subside, it’s also hard when my partner says ‘Hey your swelling is gone!!’
Please let the currently result still have a lot of swelling, otherwise my face is a lot fatter than I remembered haha.
Anyone else been in a similar boat?

2023.06.06 17:36 Weak-Implement9906 Lots of parasomnias, will it ever improve?
For as long as I can remember, I've had vivid dreams and nightmares. I seem to dream more than average, excessively sometimes, have issues with sleep paralysis, false awakening, sleep terrors and sleep talking/walking. Often when my sleep paralysis is bad, I'll have sleep hallucinations also.
I'm 40yo and this only got worse, never better. Through some periods, it's triggered pretty bad insomnia because sleeping can be emotionally exhausting. I have a high daytime sleepiness score and I'm being checked for sleep apnoea, but I'm not sure that's not just another symptom, because I've been having issues for 36 years - i still have some nightmares from when i was a small child repeating and I learned to lucid dream so I could try to wake up from nightmares at about 7yo.
Can anything be done to relieve things or is this something I just have to accept will always be a part of me?

2023.06.06 17:36 jennaisokay We will be going dark from June 12-14. We're a tiny but mighty news community, + (we'd like to think) important to communicating local news and arts coverage wherever our readers are. We may be small communities, but we believe in supporting 3rd party developers. See info below for more.
Original post can be found in Save3rdPartyApps:
What's going on?
A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
What's the plan?
On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.
What can you do?

- Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
- Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

2023.06.06 17:36 BeardedKronyn Seeking Boat Ride for Shore Access in Prince Township - Willing to Compensate!
 | My friend and I are in need of some assistance for an upcoming trip to Prince Township. We are hoping to find a kind soul who can provide us with a boat ride to and from the shore of our property, located just under 2 miles north along the coast past Gros Cap Marina. submitted by BeardedKronyn to SaultOntario [link] [comments] Our property is unfortunately landlocked, and accessing it by hiking from the rear side proved to be extremely challenging last summer. We definitely want to avoid that this time around. Interestingly, during our last visit, we noticed several fishermen running up and down the shoreline. This got us thinking: perhaps we might be able to catch a ride with one of them! Here are some additional details:
To all the fishermen out there, we believe this could be a mutually beneficial arrangement. We'll be happy to contribute towards fuel costs or offer compensation for your time. If you can help us with this boat ride or have any suggestions, please reach out to us via private message or leave a comment below. Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Once again, apologies if this post appears in multiple Reddit communities. We want to cast a wide net and maximize our chances of finding a solution. If you have any questions or need further information, please don't hesitate to ask. https://preview.redd.it/h0yl93c53f4b1.png?width=1221&format=png&auto=webp&s=5e4e70c146203e5a849c9f971bfd57b25bde764d |
2023.06.06 17:35 esper_ InfinityMice Vagabond & infinite Control Review
 | \Disclaimer** submitted by esper_ to MousepadReview [link] [comments] These mousepads were sent out to me by InfinityMice, but that doesn't affect my opinions in the review. Packaging InfinityMice Vagabond & Infinite Control UNBOXING & DETAILSThe vagabond and infinite series pads both feature original characters on the front of their packaging and look pretty clean imo. Taking out the pads is just a simple matter of ripping off the tab on the back and lifting the top flap to access them. Their newest line of pads use a custom PU base with the infinitymice logo repeating throughout. When rubbing my hand along the vagabond's surface, I can kinda feel the logos underneath, but it goes completely unnoticed in-game. For some reason, only some areas of the base have that poron-like stick onto my desk, while other parts just lay there. Whether it sticks or not doesn't seem to be an issue though cause there's zero movement when I push on it; and afterall, it could just be the way my desk interacts with the material. Stitching is thin, soft, and sits below the surface. The infinite series pads all come in a dark shade of red and the vagabond has colorful, eye-catching artwork drawn by say0ranarts. Info Summary
Full view of both pads Custom soft PU base SURFACE PROPERTIESFriction & GlideThe vagabond is slightly slower than the venus pro. It's balanced and has good stopping power with a soft base to provide extra control when needed. The glide is smooth and steady, which I quite like. The inf-c is slightly slower than the saturn pro, and has similar stopping power due to the saturn pro using an xsoft base, while the inf-c is soft. The inf-c is also balanced, but the glide does feel slightly more controlled than the saturn pro when swiping around. Speed (fastest to slwoest): first war >= loque > eba > huoyun se > svbc+ >= venus pro > vagabond > p-51 >= tai bao > pa > ac+ > aczero > saturn pro > infinite control > spyre kamek Feel When rubbing my hand along the surface, the vagabond has a slightly rough hybrid texture to it, while the inf-c is more of a fuzzy cottonball-like feeling. In actual use though where only my forearm and parts of my palm touch, they feel like playing on a marshmellow or cloud. Comfort is top tier on these pads and they feel like the most premium pads I've received thus far – excluding glasspads. The soft PU base makes them both very comfortable to lay your hand on and I felt zero discomfort during a long play session. Abrasiveness on the skin (roughest to smoothest): eq+ v2 > walhaut white >= loque > venus pro >= huoyun se > first war > vagabond > tai bao >> aczero > saturn pro > infinite control > smooth criminal PERFORMANCEVagabondIn the past, I was so used to the harsher textures of pads like the hien and ac+ that I couldn't really notice the feedback on less abrasive pads. However after adjusting to smoother pads over time, I can now appreciate the feedback and comfort they offer. With the vagabond, the feedback is subtle, yet defined enough for me to subconsciously feel while playing, so I still get a good read on my mouse movements, and there aren't random instances of discomfort to distract and break my focus. Another benefit to the lighter texture is ease in moving my arm across the surface. With rougher pads, I can feel my arm and skin gripping/catching onto the texture a bit, so transitioning to arm aiming with my sens of 43cm/rev isn't as natural and comfortable to do in some quick instances in-game. In chaotic moments, for example, I've mostly been relying on – and am a bit limited to – wrist motions. I also believe this is why I prefer mid-bases for these rougher pads, since my arm isn't as sunken into the surface and as restricted in movement. \Trying something different by using clips to show what I mean. These are highlights though, and are exaggerated examples, aside from the ashe clip.** Here's examples of me performing these quick arm swipes on the vagabond in qp (covering name cause I like privacy :p ): [video link] And here's one with me mostly limited to wrist movements on a rougher pad (svbc+): [video link] You can see wider motions aren't as steadily paced/efficient with the svbc+ cause I'm resetting in between swipes with my wrist, while on the vagabond, I'm doing single swift motions with my arm. Kinda rambling, but I'm essentially saying I have more flexibility with arm aiming on the vagabond as opposed to the rougher hybrid pads I tend to use. One benefit I find with rougher texture pads though is playing more reactive and microadjusting faster since they typically have a faster startup/lower static friction. I can also catch myself on the surface with pressure to stop flicks quickly. I can't really say for certain whether there's trade-offs in performance with either approach, but it's something I noticed myself doing when switching between these pads. In short, I greatly enjoy the vagabond for ow sniping and tracking due to the wider range I have at my sens. In scenarios where I'm doing multiple microcorrections in a small timeframe (cassidy and valorant rifling), I prefer rougher textured pads like the svbc+ since I can catch myself more easily on the surface to stop and reset quickly -- at least, that's what I'm running with for now. InfinityMice Vagabond vs. Other hybrid pads
Infinite Control With the slower surface of the infinite control, I play more disciplined in ow and focus on making my shots count since I can't microcorrect as easily and continuously as with hybrid pads. My first bullet accuracy/precision is pretty good on this type of surface since it has decent enough speed while providing great control. There's no tug either as it is quite balanced with low enough static friction, which is a huge plus in my book. I definitely track worse on fast moving targets compared to faster pads, but it's something I can probably improve on with enough adjustment time. Sure, I would prefer if it was a little faster for ow, but it's pure preference. In val, I prefer to use skates that are faster than corepads since corepads are control-oriented and they feel too slow for my liking for those more quick and precise movements. I don't mind using corepads on it in ow cause I'm doing larger and continuous motions, so the momentum kinda overcomes the slowness. Infinite Control vs. Saturn Pro
PROS & CONSVagabond+premium feeling pad +colorful, eye-catching art (limited design) +very comfortable balanced hybrid surface +decent texture feedback w/o feeling abrasive +not skate dependent +high quality custom soft PU base +stitching below the surface +comes in cool flat packaging +great size options (490x420x3.5mm or 500x500x3.5mm) +great price for the quality Infinite Control +premium feeling pad +nice dark shade of red +very comfortable balanced control surface +high quality custom soft PU base +not skate dependent +stitching below the surface +comes in cool flat packaging +great size options (490x420x3.5mm or 500x500x3.5mm) +great price for the quality CLOSING THOUGHTSIt's pretty awesome of infinitymice to release a whole line-up of pads all at once. There is definitely a surface in their selection that will fit almost anyone, except mudpad users. The vagabond and infinite control are the most premium feeling pads I've gotten so far this year –excluding glasspads– due to their performance, comfort and quality. I would describe them as top tier comfort picks as they are easy to swap to at any time and perform very well due to having some familiarity in feeling with other top performing surfaces. I'm hesitant to call the vagabond my main since in my last review I already said the huoyun se was a contender with the svbc+ as my main, but I can't deny that I perform extremely well – and possibly the best – with it for ow2. The infinite control is a great alternative to the saturn pro if you wanted the tiniest bit more control/slower speed. It's a great option for val, but I typically enjoy something slightly faster and more textured like the aqua control zero. I'm looking forward to seeing what their future art series pads will look like cause I'm really liking the colors and art on the vagabond. The release date on these should be sometime this month, so keep a look out!

2023.06.06 17:35 Acceptable_Box_7500 Feeling down after my 38-week prenatal check-up
Worry 1: I've always thought I had a high pain tolerance. I got through a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, emergency surgery, and recovery okay, so I'd hoped that would prepare me for a small fraction of labor and delivery pain. But today I had my first cervical check and it hurt like a b**ch. If I balk at a routine check, how am I going to handle the rest of it?
Worry 2: I spent all day yesterday freaking out that baby's movements were reduced, so they did a non-stress test today. He passed, but the nurse midwife described his results as "adequate." She explained that that's probably why I'm not feeling him as much. Some babies are really wild; others are more chill.
The thing is, mine had his periods of wildness earlier in the pregnancy. Also, I can't shake this fear that "adequate" means he's closer to the threshold for something scary. My husband said that's not how it works — that highly active babies can drop suddenly in movement just the same as chiller babies. And I know he's right, but I'm still worried.
Background: I have pretty severe OCD. I knew pregnancy was going to be hard for me, but I've been coping okay through the most of it. But these last few weeks are really pushing the bounds of my mental health.
I have an anxiety attack every other day about fetal movement. Baby passes his kick counts without issue, but I still freak out if he's slow to get moving, or if he only responds to prodding/pressing, or if I go most of the day without hearing from him.
I don't really understand his patterns. I know he tends to be most active later in the evening/at night, but some days he moves almost every hour and other days I don't remember feeling much at all until I prompt him for movements after work.
So many people say to trust your intuition, to follow through if you have a bad feeling. But because of my OCD, I'm naturally inclined to ruminate and worry and imagine the worst all the time. I don't have a gut to trust. So I just keep heading to the hospital to get checked out for minor falls, bumps, and "reductions" in movement. I'm basically spending my kid's college fund on unnecessary hospital visits!
I also feel like I'm starting to annoy my care team. But I know if I don't get checked and something happens, I won't be able to live with myself. This baby is the beginning and end of me; I haven't even held him yet but I know I'll never love anything more.
TL;DR:
1) Has anyone struggled with cervical checks but stomached labor pain okay? Is there a strong correlation between the pain of one and the other?
2) Does "adequate" actually mean "perfectly fine; stop worrying" when it comes to NSTs?
3) Any advice for managing kick count anxiety, especially when you're neurodivergent and CANNOT trust hunches?

She explained that that's probably why I'm not feeling him as much. Some babies are really wild; others are more chill.
The thing is, mine had his periods of wildness earlier in the pregnancy. Also, I can't shake this fear that "adequate" means he's closer to the threshold for something scary. My husband said that's not how it works — that highly active babies can drop suddenly in movement just the same as chiller babies. And I know he's right, but I'm still worried.
Background: I have pretty severe OCD. I knew pregnancy was going to be hard for me, but I've been coping okay through the most of it. But these last few weeks are really pushing the bounds of my mental health.
I have an anxiety attack every other day about fetal movement. Baby passes his kick counts without issue, but I still freak out if he's slow to get moving, or if he only responds to prodding/pressing, or if I go most of the day without hearing from him.
I don't really understand his patterns. I know he tends to be most active later in the evening/at night, but some days he moves almost every hour and other days I don't remember feeling much at all until I prompt him for movements after work.
So many people say to trust your intuition, to follow through if you have a bad feeling. But because of my OCD, I'm naturally inclined to ruminate and worry and imagine the worst all the time. I don't have a gut to trust. So I just keep heading to the hospital to get checked out for minor falls, bumps, and "reductions" in movement. I'm basically spending my kid's college fund on unnecessary hospital visits!
I also feel like I'm starting to annoy my care team. But I know if I don't get checked and something happens, I won't be able to live with myself. This baby is the beginning and end of me; I haven't even held him yet but I know I'll never love anything more.
TL;DR:
1) Has anyone struggled with cervical checks but stomached labor pain okay? Is there a strong correlation between the pain of one and the other?
2) Does "adequate" actually mean "perfectly fine; stop worrying" when it comes to NSTs?
3) Any advice for managing kick count anxiety, especially when you're neurodivergent and CANNOT trust hunches?
2023.06.06 17:34 BeardedKronyn Seeking Boat Ride for Shore Access in Prince Township - Willing to Compensate!
 | My friend and I are in need of some assistance for an upcoming trip to Prince Township. We are hoping to find a kind soul who can provide us with a boat ride to and from the shore of our property, located about 2 miles north of Gros Cap Marina. submitted by BeardedKronyn to FishingOntario [link] [comments] Our property is unfortunately landlocked, and accessing it by hiking from the rear side proved to be extremely challenging last summer. We definitely want to avoid that this time around. Interestingly, during our last visit, we noticed several fishermen running up and down the shoreline. This got us thinking: perhaps we might be able to catch a ride with one of them! Here are some additional details:
To all the fishermen out there, we believe this could be a mutually beneficial arrangement. We'll be happy to contribute towards fuel costs or offer compensation for your time. If you can help us with this boat ride or have any suggestions, please reach out to us via private message or leave a comment below. Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Once again, apologies if this post appears in multiple Reddit communities. We want to cast a wide net and maximize our chances of finding a solution. If you have any questions or need further information, please don't hesitate to ask. https://preview.redd.it/in4y7sad2f4b1.png?width=1221&format=png&auto=webp&s=33c52349c22d3ee4439b8bf6b53e2fed0c211b28 |
2023.06.06 17:34 Throwaway_NewHousing AITA for not allowing a service dog into my house
I (25f) recently got my own place. It is small, so I can only have a certain amount of people over at a time or it will get very crowded. I thought I will throw a little housewarming party, so I sent out invites and asked for RSVP so I could plan the right amount of food. Luckily most the people on my list said they will come.
On the day of the party, half way into it, my cousin Beth showed up with her girlfriend, Tina (25). I have only met Tina once before this but knew that she has some medical problems and she has a service dog that helps with her seizures. Tina brought her dog with her that day as well.
The thing is, I don’t like dogs. I’m not afraid of them and not allergic to them and I can watch them from afar or on films, but I don’t like interacting closely with dogs in real life. My home is pet free. I don’t mind other animals like cats or fish but I also don’t keep them. I just don’t like dogs…the smell, the bark, everything.
The other thing I should mention is that Beth did not respond that she will be at the party and I also did not invite Tina. As I said, limited space.
I told Beth and Tina that they are welcome to join us but I can’t have the dog in my place. I’m not ready to deal with any kind of emergency regarding the dog. Tina argued that the dog is her service animal and if I don’t allowed her dog to be with her, I might as well just kick her out.
Here’s where I might be TA. Instead of saying anything back to Tina, I just stood there, staring at her. I mean, kicking her and her dog out did not seem like a bad idea at all, to be honest. Tina seemed to get the message and quickly told Beth they should leave as they shouldn’t stay where they were not welcome.
Beth and Tina later called me, saying they couldn’t believe I was such an ableist. I just don’t want dogs in my space. AITA?

Headphones
- NIB Corsair Void RGB Elite USB $40 Completely sealed, a kind gift but not one I have a use for.
IEMs and earbuds
- Sealed - LZ A6 $140 Looks like it sold at Penon or Linsoul for $310 when it was available, asking $140 sealed. Lots of nozzles to change tuning with, and a built in gain switch.
- Sealed - NiceHCK NX7 Pro $75 As with any of these sealed sets, sorry I can't give an impression of the sound.
- NF Audio NE4 Revolution $240 with box/accessories (incl. promotional poster!) and all stock tuning plates plus a rare 4th tuning plate.
- ANew X-One 1DD, 4BA, 3 tuning chips $140 These are being sold for over $300 new elsewhere. Used for 30 minutes.
- Audio Technica LS200 $50 Warm sounding 2 BA set with memory wire ear guides, in red. Note: these use A2DC, not MMCX. Comes wtih 2 cables, one with mic one without.
- Sealed - 1More quad-driver in-ear earphones $60 trying to price at 1/2 or below of new price, and these are still sold/in stock on Amazon and from 1More
- Sealed - Tin T2 Pro $20 or $15 bundled
- Sealed - Tin T2 Plus $30 or bundle for $25

- Moondrop Lan $25 or add on for $20
- Hifiman RE-262 $50 A pretty ancient set by now, but very natural/neutral/I like the mids. Comes in a pretty dope case with cable extension choices and tips. Can be worn down or up. Unusual appearance!
- HBB Blon Z300$28 or $25 as add on. Barely listened to, despite being a huge Blon03 fan for some reason this wasn't really my jam.
- Tin HiFi P1 $80 or $75 as add on. These need some power to sing, but have a great flat response that even so has good bass levels, does have sub-bass roll-off. Carrying box and accessories (one set of silicone tips missing, I think the L size).
- Sealed - RevoNext NEX202 open-back earphones $20 or bundle for $15

Wireless buds and TWS
- Noble Falcon Pro TWS $125 no damage anywhere, full accessories except for tips, no tips.
- Mifo O7 $45 These are the version with the CNT dynamic driver. I highly recommend them for sound, comfort, and quality of build. The case alone is a step up from competitors. Comes with accessories incl. charge cable, box, tips.
- Aukey EP-T32 $15 or add-on for 10. Box, case, tips included, no cable. Powerbeats Pro form factor.
- Apple/Beats Studio Buds $40 Excellent condition, no tips but I can try to find something generic to include. As shown, warranty is active until 9/7/23.
- Sony MDR-EX750BT $25 or add-on for $20. This form-factor has fallen out of vogue but it's actually still very practical/comfortable. Easy to take buds out and put them back in without keeping track of them. Appearance and sound remind me of MH750MH755, which is hinted at in the model name too.
Sources (DAC/DAP/AMP)
- JDS Labs OL DAC $45 No blemishes or issues to mention, comes with power brick.
- F.Audio XS-02 $75 I love this player. It has an AKM4490 chip and great dynamics. I love the clicky buttons. You can swap the op-amps out very easily. It has a low and high gain port (both 3.5mm) and takes MicroSD cards and uses MicroUSB for charging. Holds a very good charge.
- VentureCraft SounDroid Valoq $100 I would recommend a new battery for this (circa $20 on AliX). A really fun player, a very firm powevolume knob, a jog wheel for navigation, balanced output, very sturdy, op-amps can be easily swapped using a hatch in the back. Condition is showing wear, including scuffs to the screen. Hopefully it goes to a collector who plans to use it. AKM4490 chip.
Accessories
- Massive foam/gel selection of eartips $45 or $40 bundled. Completely unused Monster gel sets, several sealed Comply foams (all L), some Newbees, some hybrid (seem to be L) and some sealed silicones too for good measure.
- Youkamoo 4.4mm to XLR balanced cable 12 OR $8 as an add-on. Nothing to really add here!
2023.06.06 17:34 wallymcnolly [FS] [US-MA] nighthawk 3050V cable voice modem, GT-AX6000 router, Commander Pro, RTX 2060 6GB
| Item | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NETGEAR Nighthawk CM3050V cable voice modem | $200 | This is a beast cable modem if you ever want to step into the multi-gig territory. It has a 2.5GBPs WAN port as well as two gigabit ports for LAN aggregation. It also supports voice on Xfinity so technically it's a eMTA. Great if you ever want to stop paying rental fees to Xfinity. This is a excellent drop in replacement for your Xfinity gateway. All you'd need is a separate router, which I also happen to have. |
| ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router | $200 | I am also selling my beast gaming router. I did have Merlin flashed on it, but will revert to stock firmware. This router complements the above modem nicely. Not only does it have a multi-gig (2.5GBPs) WAN port, but also a 2.5GBps LAN port (for gaming PCs, a 2.5GBps switch, etc) in addition to the four gigabit LAN ports. The Wi-Fi 6 signal strength is super strong and has great coverage in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz mode. |
| Corsair Commander Pro | $40 | Self-explanatory. It allows you to power your Corsair fans and RGB at the same time. I recently upgraded to an AIO that came with a Commander Core and had migrated my prior setup to it. |
| OEM Dell GeForce RTX 2060 | $150 | upgraded to an AsRock Radeon RX6800 XT Phantom Gaming GPU several months ago, so no longer need this one. Has been well taken care of and great for a first budget PC build. |

2023.06.06 17:34 jfranok Do the gods actively seek worship?
Hi everyone,
So, there was this old cathedral that got heavily damaged from an earthquake (with no repairs in sight). To its right, there was a crucifixion scene on a pedestal. Unfortunately, the crucifix with Jesus on it fell to the ground and broke beyond repair. On the left side of the cathedral, there is a small dome open in the front where a statue of the Immaculate Conception is placed. Interestingly, nothing happened to it during the earthquake. It has been decided to build a chapel (maybe a temporary one) around the Immaculate statue. As a result, the priest now has the Immaculate statue behind him when conducting the service.
As years pass, I'm witnessing an increase in the number of worshipers drawn to the Immaculate statue, mostly women. While there were only a few before, now they gather around, "feeding" the statue with candle lights. Not too far away, there is also a small chapel dedicated to one of the many "Mary" or "Mother of God" figures in the Catholic Church. It had not sustained any damage. Previously, not much was happening there. However, now, even when the chapel doors are closed, worshipers, again predominantly women, gather at the front and conduct their own services without the need for a priest.
So it seems like I am witnessing the fall of a male god for a female god (or power) to rise. Now, do you think gods/goddesses are actively seeking territory and do not shy away from worshipers? If there is indeed a shift of male power dominated land toward a female power dominated one, why do you think it would start with worship not a dedicated priesthood? I have never heard someone said they had a dream or encounters where a god wanted to stop any worship because he/she does not need it.
My thought is that, even when the deities have reach beyond human understanding, by acquiring self awareness or consciousness, they also acquire some facets of humanity like anger and tribalism and an ego.

2023.06.06 17:33 Conscious_Engine3229 Husband (22M) convinced me (22F) to move to Kansas City MO and I’m regretting it. How would you guys handle this situation?
Basically what the title says but here’s more info. He basically gave me no choice because he said “I’m moving to Kansas City for work and if you’re not coming than you’re going to end up a single mom of two children” which now looking back wouldn’t have been so bad because I have way more family and friends back home that would be willing to help. His brother lives here but his brother is pretty much useless in terms of helping out in a pinch. We never had crazy amount of help but it was nice to have them in case of car troubles or his mom lived right next to the school so if we needed her to pick up or drop off it was never an issue.
Now on top of all of this I’m pregnant. I took 2 plan b thinking I was safe back in April and lo and behold it’s not and MO doesn’t offer abortions 🤷🏻♀️ so I will be having to keep this baby as well because I refuse to do a surgical abortion.
Another thing that really bothers me is the crime out here. We live right next to the bad part of KC in independence because honestly that’s all we could afford. Which is crazy to me because his biggest reasoning for moving down here is because he was going to be making so much more money, but compared to the cost of living down here we’re still struggling.
Not only that but this house that he rushed us into buying is showing signs of many issues already. We have brown recluse infestation. He refuses to take care of our mess of a yard, which I would but I’m feeling awful and throwing up constantly due to the pregnancy. He handles all of our money and he won’t renta dump trailer.
I told him days before when we realized the previous sellers weren’t fixing up the issues we thought were the only ones I do not want this house and he pressured me into it anyway. This is not somewhere I want my children to grow up. The town we came from wasn’t horribly small and he could have had opportunities there but he just burnt his bridges with a lot of the work places down there due to being arrogant.
My kids love there dad so I don’t want to take them away from them but I literally can’t stay in this city. At least not single. I hate it so much, I cry everyday, I’m feeling extremely anxious and depressed, I miss my family and I regret moving down here but he peer pressured me into it. I know I’d be able to find work easily if I moved back home and I’m heavily considering it.
As much as we all love my husband he can be very emotionally abusive at times so I think that makes it worse. I really need advice and I feel like I screwed myself in the end because I feel like I’m not going to be able to move away from this nightmare because of the kids but as I said before crime is horrible here and we can’t afford to live in a nice neighborhood so this is not where I want my children growing up.
I’m too afraid to even let them go play in the front yard. Yes we’re young and that probably plays into all of this but I just can’t stay here for much longer unless there’s some kind of drastic change also we can afford therapy with all of the baby appointments, new house repairs and the two current children we already have.

2023.06.06 17:33 alg_hes_a_fungai Carbon tax question
Short, honest question, no political spin, asking because I honestly don't know. Ultimately, where do the carbon tax funds collected go? Is the surplus helping to reduce the deficit?
-------------
Long version:
I keep hearing about the increasing carbon tax and have been asking acquaintances how it works. I’ve been sitting on this question for a few weeks, contemplating possible answers:
I also don't understand the rebate. The government took money from one pocket and gave some of it back to me in the other pocket. Why? To reduce the sting of the money that was taken? Why not take less in the first place? Ultimately, I don't understand the end game here.
Based on some of the information here: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/climate-change/pricing-pollution-how-it-will-work/putting-price-on-carbon-pollution.html. And drilling further down, https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2018/10/backgrounder-targeted-relief-for-farmers-and-fishers-and-residents-of-rural-and-remote-communities.html. "The GGPPA will provide farmers with relief from the fuel charge for fuels used in tractors, trucks and other farm machinery. The relief is provided upfront through the use of exemption certificates, when certain conditions are met. Specifically, the GGPPA provides that a registered distributor can generally deliver, without the fuel charge applying, gasoline or light fuel oil (e.g., diesel) to a farmer at a farm, if the fuel is for use exclusively in the operation of eligible farming machinery and all or substantially all of the fuel is for use in the course of eligible farming activities. Farmers do not need to be registered for the purposes of this relief." If that's the case, why does the opposition party keep saying that food prices are increasing because farm fuel is increasing?
Small rant: I have friends in other countries that have populations that are roughly 10-40x bigger than Canada. They aren't doing anything to reduce their carbon footprint. I would love to be a world leader in moving the needle in the fight against climate change, but really, we're throwing a pebble into the ocean and expecting the ripple to make a global difference?

Long version:
I keep hearing about the increasing carbon tax and have been asking acquaintances how it works. I’ve been sitting on this question for a few weeks, contemplating possible answers:
- There is a surplus fund that is being built to finance future carbon-reduction initiatives
- A friend recently replaced their furnace, and there was a decent rebate (> 50%) on a heat-pump solution. I’m guessing some of the carbon tax will go to that rebate. (See bullet above)
- It’s simply a tax grab
- The pessimist in me sometime’s believes it’s a make-work project / political spin for the sitting government - i.e. someone collects the tax, and someone gives you some of the tax back as an incentive. “Look, we have a program to reduce climate change and you’ll end up with money in your pocket!”, or some political spin on that.
I also don't understand the rebate. The government took money from one pocket and gave some of it back to me in the other pocket. Why? To reduce the sting of the money that was taken? Why not take less in the first place? Ultimately, I don't understand the end game here.

2023.06.06 17:33 Catamount90 We're joining the Reddit blackout from June 12th to 14th, to protest the planned API changes that will kill 3rd party apps
Hey /AboveandBeyond and the Anjuna community, I have some less than ideal updates for all of you.
We have an important announcement to share regarding recent changes to Reddit's API that will significantly impact the third-party apps many of you use to access and enjoy your favorite communities. It is crucial that you take the time to read through this post.
Reddit has recently announced a transition from a free to a paid model for their API, which will likely force many developers of third-party apps to shut down. This change comes with expenses that these developers simply cannot afford. To provide some perspective, popular third-party app Apollo, for example, would face a staggering cost of $1.7 million per month to continue operating, equating to $12,000 for every 50 million API requests. In contrast, Apollo currently pays Imgur only $166 for the same number of API calls.
As a result, apps like Apollo, Narwhal, and many more may have no choice but to permanently close their doors. Even if you don't personally use a third-party app, these changes will likely affect the communities you enjoy, as the majority of moderation teams rely on these tools and Reddit's API for efficient moderation and management. This situation paints a worrisome picture for users of other tools like Reddit Enhancement Suite and old.reddit.com.
To summarize the importance of this issue, please review this TL;DR on the issue.
So, what are we planning to do about it?
On June 12th, along with many other subreddits, both large and small, we will go dark for 48 hours. If you feel like this isn't long enough, please let us know in the comments. During this period, you will be unable to view or post any content on AboveandBeyond.
We want to emphasize that this action is not taken lightly. We understand that many of you rely on this community to stay updated on all things Anjuna ( or to get the latest hot gossip in the Anjuna world). However, we firmly believe that we must take a stand on this matter, and a temporary blackout is how we choose to do so.
Our request is not for Reddit to offer a free service, but rather for reasonable pricing that ensures these apps, which have become crucial to participating in our communities, can continue to exist. While we cannot guarantee that the blackout will solve the problem, as we simply don't have that knowledge. However, we feel it is our duty to make an effort and do our part to spread the word.
Want to show your support?

We have an important announcement to share regarding recent changes to Reddit's API that will significantly impact the third-party apps many of you use to access and enjoy your favorite communities. It is crucial that you take the time to read through this post.
Reddit has recently announced a transition from a free to a paid model for their API, which will likely force many developers of third-party apps to shut down. This change comes with expenses that these developers simply cannot afford. To provide some perspective, popular third-party app Apollo, for example, would face a staggering cost of $1.7 million per month to continue operating, equating to $12,000 for every 50 million API requests. In contrast, Apollo currently pays Imgur only $166 for the same number of API calls.
As a result, apps like Apollo, Narwhal, and many more may have no choice but to permanently close their doors. Even if you don't personally use a third-party app, these changes will likely affect the communities you enjoy, as the majority of moderation teams rely on these tools and Reddit's API for efficient moderation and management. This situation paints a worrisome picture for users of other tools like Reddit Enhancement Suite and old.reddit.com.
To summarize the importance of this issue, please review this TL;DR on the issue.
So, what are we planning to do about it?
On June 12th, along with many other subreddits, both large and small, we will go dark for 48 hours. If you feel like this isn't long enough, please let us know in the comments. During this period, you will be unable to view or post any content on AboveandBeyond.
We want to emphasize that this action is not taken lightly. We understand that many of you rely on this community to stay updated on all things Anjuna ( or to get the latest hot gossip in the Anjuna world). However, we firmly believe that we must take a stand on this matter, and a temporary blackout is how we choose to do so.
Our request is not for Reddit to offer a free service, but rather for reasonable pricing that ensures these apps, which have become crucial to participating in our communities, can continue to exist. While we cannot guarantee that the blackout will solve the problem, as we simply don't have that knowledge. However, we feel it is our duty to make an effort and do our part to spread the word.
