2023.05.28 15:30 RUCBAR42 Ejerpantebrev i eget navn, uden underpant

Hej dkf,
Jeg har solgt min andelsbolig og forventer derfor at få et par skillinger i starten af juni. Jeg talte med vores administrator om hvornår pengene ville blive udbetalt, og her nævner hun at "Der jo er nogen der har pant i boligen". Det forstod jeg ikke, for jeg har betalt mit lån ud.
Jeg har i sin tid optaget lån hos Nordea, som så blev flyttet til Nykredit, og det har jeg så betalt ud for et par år siden. Pantebrevet passer meget godt med værdien på lejligheden da jeg købte den.
Jeg har talt med min bankrådgiver i Nykredit, som siger at "Det må vi jo kigge på, det gør vi i næste uge" og jeg vil jo gerne bare have orden på det. Min store frygt er, at jeg har nogle penge ude forbi en bank som ikke har krav på dem, og at selve udbetalingen bliver forsinket.
Jeg har så været inde på tinglysning.dk og her kan jeg se et pantebrev på 240.000 kr - jeg står som kreditor, og der er ingen anden pant eller underpant. Jeg på.mike naboer er der mange der også står selv, og så er der nogen der har en eller flere banker på sit pantebrev (og ikke dem selv). Der er også flere lejligheder der har et pantebrev under en tidligere beboer - så nogle af de her kan ikke være gyldige længere.
Mit spørgsmål er, betyder dette at der så ikke er et pantebrev hos Nordea eller Nykredit? Hvis det er tilfældet så syntes jeg det er underligt at min bankrådgiver ikke bare har sagt det, men det er hvert fald tydeligt at jeg har naboer, hvis pantebreve står med banker som kreditorer.
Jeg kan se en log, hvis jeg logger ind på tinglysning.dk, at pantebrevet er overgået til Nykredit da jeg flyttede men der står ingen steder at det er overført til mig - så vidt jeg kan se.
Bonus spørgsmål: Hvis nu Nordea stadig har et pantebrev, som egentlig skulle være slettet, hvor meget forsinkelse kan jeg så forvente? Hvis pengene først skal sendes til Nordea og de skal finde ud af at de ikke har krav på noget og pengene så skal videre til mig, hvor længe tager det? Pantebrevet er kun på halvdelen af det jeg har solgt lejligheden for, så er det kun halvdelen der "kommer til Nordea" og jeg får den anden halvdel med det samme?
Hvorfor ikke bare vente, spørger du? Jeg har en bil linet op som jeg gerne vil kæbeså snart pengene lander. Så jeg gider ikke rigtig vente. Nå ja og så er det vel MINE penge :D
Tak for svar, det ville være dejligt at få en bedre forståelse for hvordan det fungerer.

2023.05.28 15:27 PainalBrolapse Frustration in reading antique bigoted media.

I'm currently reading through a lot of ancient 1930s - 1960s comics for a university thing, and some of it is getting to be a little much.
Particularly this Metal Men series, which is about some Elon Musk nerd making a bunch of robots to respond to crime and natural disasters, sort of like a pre-puppy Paw Patrol. The Token Girl's whole deal is that because she's been programmed to respond "like a woman," she's constantly cravin' man and her emotional behaviour inconveniences the people around her. The running gag here is that Mr. Musk is constantly commenting that he should remove the part of her that gives her these emotions, sort of euphemistically alluding to lobotomy. The twist is that our girl, Platinum / Tina, is supposed to be the most powerful member of her team, but this is presented more like a joke, the idea there seemingly being that she could be so much more useful if not for having a fem brain.
I've read a lot of old -ist / -phobic media before but this one's getting to me, probably because I need to power through it and can't just put it down. There's also a lot worse out there, like I'm not exactly reading an incel manifesto (as much as it feels like one), so I feel like I'm being stupid about it, too.
So, aside from just venting about this shit, I thought I'd turn to the gals to see if anybody has some thoughts on how to compartmentalise this bs.

2023.05.28 15:25 Aiming4Gaming0 How To Farm ALL Resources in V Rising 2023 (Gloomrot update!)

https://preview.redd.it/09zchs0kul2b1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=187cea1e0eda767e688bb818d4e241c16afb3617
Secrets of Gloomrot has brought many new resources to collect, as well as some serious changes to resource farming locations. So, it's time to spotlight the best of them!
This is Aiming4Gaming, and today we're aiming for resource gaining!

TL;DR

This guide originated from my YouTube video, where I show all resource locations in action. If you enjoy watching videos, I would be really grateful if you checked it out and rated it - it would help me a lot!
However, it's also fair to offer something to Reddit, which is why I decided to make a text version of my guide here as well. So, if you prefer text guides, it's right below!
Important note: Reddit post is limited to 20 pictures, so I can't show every location :( I selected the most important locations as reference, but unfortunately that's my limit here. Also, to not overload map with all places, I highlighted typical locations for cotton and other wide-spreaded resource types.
I'll try to group up resources by their purpose.

Smelting

Farbane Woods

Dunley Farmlands

Gloomrot and Cursed Forest

Silverlight Hills
Copper can be extracted in large quantities from the Copper Mine, along with Hell's Clarion. Don't overlook chests, and remember to consume a worker to boost the resource yield!
Sulfur is obtained from the Bandit Sulfur Quarry. By the way, some nodes are surrounded by explosives, which obliterate them with a single precise shot!
If you require a substantial amount of copper or sulfur at once, the new Trancendum Mine is exactly what you need! However, exercise caution as the enemies there can be formidable.
Whetstones are commonly dropped in Bandit Encampments. The Bandit Armory is also a fantastic place since you can collect not only whetstones but also stone dust, which is essential for crafting whetstones! Whetstones are almost always found in the chests here, and occasionally they drop from barrels or enemies guarding the areas.
Iron can be extensively mined in two locations: the Haunted Iron Mine and the new Iron Cave.
To access the cave, you will need explosives or the bear form. I recommend using the bear form for an additional reason - these mines are guarded by numerous golems, but they won't attack you if you're in bear form! Unless you provoke them first! Additionally, the bear form enables you to break the massive deposits here, which yield a substantial amount of iron! Golems here also drop iron if, for some reason, you desire more from your run.
The Haunted Iron Mine is a much more challenging place for mining, with all the chaos unfolding everywhere! However, unlike the Iron Cave, it contains chests with other valuable items like sulfur, gems, grave dust, and books. Nonetheless, the abundance of enemies and the burning ground make this place less preferable than the Iron Cave. By the way, don't overlook the chests in the tents outside; they usually contain iron ore and other goodies!
The ideal location for Quartz in this update is the Quartz Quarry, which boasts numerous nodes and workers that enhance your resource yield. Also, be sure to check the houses for additional loot!
Scourgestones, along with some mourning lilies and bones, can be found in Dunley Monastery, the Church of the Damned, as well as the houses in Cursed or Ancient Villages.
Dunley Monastery features multiple containers, each typically containing one or more scourgestones. However, this place is protected by holy radiation, which can only be resisted by crafting a holy resistance potion.
The Church of the Damned appears to be easier, as you can collect chests and search graves here.
As for the Villages, you'll eventually need to visit them for ghost crystals anyway, so you can gather scourgestones as a bonus!
Silver can be obtained through two methods. Firstly, there are several nodes in the area to the West of the Silver Mine. Secondly, you can venture into the mine itself by navigating around and accessing it through a secret passage.

Tailoring

Farbane Woods

Dunley Farmlands

Gloomrot and Cursed Forest
Leather and rugged hide can be discovered in the Bandit Trapper Camp, conveniently located near the waygate. This location is filled with cages housing wolves and bears that drop the hides, allowing you to farm them all in one place instead of searching for them in the forests. Don't forget to explore the tents for barrels and chests, which typically contain leather and coarse thread.
Thick hide can be obtained from dogs and various creatures in all regions except Farbane Woods. For example, bears, moose and wolfs in the Hallowed Mountains drop them. Fish oil can be acquired in villages, or you can use blood press to convert fish into fish oil and fish bones.
Pristine hide is dropped by creatures in the Lurker Dwelling. Alternatively, you can pay a visit to Gracefall Village at night. During this time, you can eliminate the villagers when they transform into werewolves, and they drop a decent amount of hides. Ensure that you carry out this task at night, as they revert to their human form with the first rays of sunlight, resulting in human drops instead. This tactic works both ways, allowing you to weaken several villagers, wait for nightfall, and easily eliminate them in their werewolf form to obtain loot for free.
Silkworms can be found in the Spider Cave, where both spiders and cocoons drop them. Cocoons also contain various loot, and sometimes even people and spiders.

Fabricating & Advanced Smelting

Gloomrot

Silverlight Hills
To farm mutant grease and tech scrap in the new Gloomrot zone, you can take advantage of the ongoing battles between mutants and humans and collect their drops. These fights occur frequently near the radiated water, providing ample opportunities for gathering resources.
However, the most convenient area for farming is undoubtedly the Pools of Rebirth. Here, you'll encounter large groups of both factions engaged in combat, resulting in quick drop collection.
Another location worth exploring is Rustlock Village, where each house usually contains 1 to 3 containers filled with tech scrap, mutant grease, coins, and scrolls.
Tech scrap and depleted batteries can also be easily acquired in the Trancendum Camps, two of which are conveniently located near the waygates. Simply eliminate the guards and destroy the scrap piles, but exercise caution as some of them may explode.
Gold jewelry can be obtained in Brighthaven, either from chests found in human form or from enemies. However, beware that these enemies are the most formidable foes in the game.

Grinding

Farbane Woods

Dunley Farmlands

Silverlight Hills
Bones, mourning lilies, and the occasional gravedust are abundant in the Forgotten Cemetery or Infested Graveyard. Make sure to thoroughly search graves and containers, as they often hold valuable items. As a bonus, some graves may reveal rats!
Regular gems can be mined in the Bedrock Pass, as it boasts numerous veins rich in precious stones.
For flawless gems, venture into the veins of the two Harpy Nests located in Silverlight Hills. However, prepare yourself for tough battles, as these areas are infested with angry mobs!
Ghost crystals can be obtained by mining nodes in the Cursed or Ancient Village, both of which offer a plentiful supply. Additionally, spectral dust and other valuable drops can be acquired from mobs or found in containers throughout these locations.

Planting

Farbane woods

Dunley Farmlands

Gloomrot and Cursed Forest

Silverlight Hills
The Gleaming Meadows is undoubtedly the best location to gather fire blossoms, blood roses, and snow flowers. You'll find an abundance of them there!
Hell's clarions can be found in Bear Cave, as well as in various mines such as the Copper Mine and Haunted Iron Mine.
For cotton, wool, cloth, sunflowers, and the occasional valuable worker with good blood quality, follow a clockwise route through several farms starting from the waygate and ending at Dawnbreak Village. Wardrobes in these farms often hold copper and silver coins, books, fish oil, and much more. When harvesting crops, it's advisable to use area-of-effect attacks to collect multiple plants simultaneously.
Some farms have garlic protection, which may debuff your vampire, but you can mitigate this by using bear form, increasing your garlic resistance and allowing for faster recovery. Alternatively, you can craft a garlic resistance brew once you've learned the recipe.
Witch huts offer a supply of ghost shrooms.
Sacred Grapes can be found in the Brighthaven Vineyards. You can either cut them from the vines or collect them from containers.
Plague briers are found in the woods of Gloomrot.
However, the most convenient farming spot for plants is your own garden. Simply plant the seeds and easily harvest the plants!
Utilize excess plants as a source of pollen, which can then be converted into coarse threads.

Studying

You can obtain paper by farming Bandit Camps, scrolls by looting Militia Encampments and Rustlock Village, and schematics by searching Army Outposts.
However, keep in mind that you already acquire sawdust from processing wood.
By combining sawdust with plant fiber in a paper press, you can efficiently produce paper, which serves as a great farming method. Once you have paper, it can be further converted into scrolls. And if you have a surplus of scrolls, they can be converted into schematics.

Additional Tips

You can construct tombs and vermin nests in order to cultivate certain resources such as silkworms, mutant grease, or scourgestones within your stronghold. However, it's important to note that this method requires the expenditure of other resources, so it's not the same as acquiring them freely in their respective zones.
Additionally, you have the option to dispatch your servants on raids, which can yield a substantial amount of resources in the background. Nonetheless, it's important to remember that these operations are time-consuming and limited to one active raid per zone.
Resource farming becomes significantly easier when you have a worker with a decent blood type. If you happen to have a worker with less than 100% blood quality, you can improve it by feeding them irradiant gruel. This will boost their blood quality by 1% or 2%.
However, it's important to note that there is a 35% probability that your prisoner may undergo a mutation when using this method. So, there is a certain element of risk involved, and you'll need to weigh the potential benefits against the possibility of a mutation.
In the endgame, an alternative to blood extraction is using blood merlot. This option consumes fewer health points and induces less misery, making it a worthwhile choice for acquiring blood resources.

Conclusion

I hope with this spotlight you have achieved what you were aiming for today!
If you want to watch more guides, they can be found on my YouTube channel! I'm doing my best to create guides on both YouTube and Reddit, but I have a full-time job, so it's a bit hard to keep up with everything :(
Anyway, thank you for reading up to this point, and see you later!

Hello,
I'd like some fair exchange for those, i'm willing to put more than one game against a game i really want, depends on the offer. I could accept Paypal, but that's not my goal (just getting games i'd like to play). I might want to keep something in those lists, i also have some other Humble and Fanatical games i'm not sure i'll play, so they might appear one day (could be money for an exchange if you have something from my wishlist, don't hesitate to ask). I'm from Europe, that might matter for Keys or gift links. Also, i have many games now, and a lot to do yet, so i might be very picky, even for games on my wishlist (it's more a list for interesting games, that i might want in an undetermined future if i have time).
(HB Unrevealed Key = i have it still unrevealed, but will provide a key, considering the Humble view on trading games)
For people living in France, i also have some old games in boxes that i can send by post, ask me if interested.

2023.05.28 15:04 No-Green-7623 29 & 38 [MM4F] - Looking for a girl to serve my straight buddy

Ok ladies here’s the deal. I’m mostly into dudes and have a buddy who’s cool with exploring but needs a girl to finish things off with. I’m looking for a partner in serving my straight buddy to give him full pleasure. I will start things off by giving him a massage and blowing him. Once he’s all revved up and ready, you take over for the grand finale (whatever you both agree on).
I’m 29, 6’, 208lbs., Asian. He’s 38, 5’11”, 170lbs. Both are pretty good looking men.
Let’s chat and go from there. Safe, DDF fun only.

2023.05.28 14:51 disciplesglobal DISCIPLES AND TRIBULATION

The New Testament exhorts followers of Jesus to expect tribulation because of their faith. While it may not be an everyday experience in the life of the church, neither is tribulation for the kingdom unexpected. And the chief cause of tribulation and persecution in the life of the disciple is his or her faithful witness of the life and teachings of Christ.
And this understanding is especially prominent in the Book of Revelation. In Chapter 7, for example, John saw countless followers of the “Lamb” exiting the “great tribulation” after persevering through it.
This striking image is central to his vision of the “innumerable multitude” comprised of men purchased from every nation by the lifeblood of Jesus. Having “overcome” in every trial and tribulation, they stand triumphantly before the “Lamb” and the “throne” in “New Jerusalem.”
At the beginning of the book, John identifies himself as a “fellow participant” with the churches of Asia “in THE tribulation and kingdom and endurance.” In his exile on the isle of Patmos - “for the testimony of Jesus” - he participated in the same “tribulation” endured by the “seven churches of Asia.”

THE TRIBULATION

The term “tribulation” occurs five times in Revelation. Each time it is used in relation to believers. In other words, “tribulation” is what followers of the “Lamb” experience. And elsewhere in the New Testament, the word is applied to what the followers of Jesus undergo for his sake - (Matthew 13:21, John 16:33, Revelation 1:9, 2:9-10, 7:14).
In the Greek text of John’s declaration, ONE definite article or “the” modifies all three nouns - Tribulation, Kingdom, Endurance. Each term represents an aspect of the same reality. It is THE tribulation; namely, the same one out of which the “innumerable multitude” came and stood before the Lord.
To live faithfully “in Jesus” results in “tribulation” for his kingdom. And to suffer for him is what it means to reign with Christ. The Greek term rendered “endurance” in John’s statement, or hupomoné, occurs six more times in the book, and it is always linked to believers who persevere in persecution - (Revelation 2:2-3, 2:19, 3:10, 13:10, 14:12-13). And PERSEVERANCE is how they “overcome” and inherit the promises found at the end of each of the letters to the “seven churches.”
In Revelation, the “Dragon” and his earthly vassals wage unrelenting war against the “saints,” not with nations or governments. The object of Satan’s wrath is the church – “those who have the testimony of Jesus” - (Revelation 12:17, 13:7-10).

FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH

The “Lamb” who was slain to redeem his people now summons his “saints…to be faithful even unto death,” not only in the city of Smyrna but all believers throughout the period between Christ’s death and his return are called to persevere.

His followers must remain steadfast in trials, even when doing so may mean their violent deaths. And just like their Lord, it is FAITHFULNESS IN TRIBULATION that results in their receipt of the “crown of life.”

And faithful saints endure the “GREAT TRIBULATION,” the period during which the followers of the “Lamb” are tried to the max, but they overcome the “Beast from the Sea” and the “Dragon” by their faithful “testimony.”
And after persevering through “tribulation,” the saints will find themselves “standing before the Throne and the Lamb” in the New Creation, in “New Jerusalem” - (Revelation 7:9-17).
In contrast to persevering saints, the unrepentant “inhabitants of the earth” undergo “wrath” - the “Second Death” in the “Lake of Fire.” And “wrath” refers to the punitive sentence of God on His enemies, and nowhere in the book is it equated with “tribulation.”
Thus, the “churches of Asia” endure “tribulation,” but they do not undergo the divine “wrath.” That is reserved for the enemies of the “Lamb” that afflict his people, and it will be meted out at the “great white throne of judgment.”
Those who would follow Jesus “wherever he goes” overcome the “Dragon by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and because they love not their lives EVEN UNTO DEATH.” They remain faithful in their testimony even at the cost of their own lives - (Revelation 12:11).

2023.05.28 14:47 Square-Elk-503 I (38F) (Bipolar I & INTJ) cannot make relationships work long-term.

At 38, and with just about another failed relationship under the belt, I can’t help but think that maybe I’m not meant to be someone’s significant other.
Starting to believe I’m not fit to hold down a healthy relationship at all…
I just can’t seem to hold relationships down for the long haul. I do have Bipolar I, and am fully aware that it’s statistically almost impossible to have successful relationships with the illness. However, I am reticent to fully give it the blame. I am successfully medicated, am very aware of the illness’s effect on my life and see a counselor regularly as well.
I’d love to be in a safe and secure relationship (with space). In the current economic climate, sharing financial burdens is about the only way to make it, it seems. And, I have to admit, I have a fear of growing old alone - I have no children and only an aging mother as family. Due to medical reasons I cannot have children and am not considering adoption. I’m very well-educated, career-driven and financially independent otherwise. My MBTI personality type is INTJ (have had this tested since age 17 and it has remained consistent). Men find me attractive, and although it’s flattering, I prefer being recognised for my intellectual ability and academic prowess.
Men seem to fall for me easily and quickly, but it usually soon fizzles because, I’ll admit, I expect a lot from a partner - nothing short of what I put in, along with characteristics such as honesty, integrity and commitment. It seems that what initially attracts them to me, ends up being what pushes them away also.
Dropping my standards? I cannot fathom that idea.
Does anyone have any insight regarding why this cycle continues in my life? Emotions are not my strong point, so would appreciate any insight regarding this.

2023.05.28 14:42 Creyke Brainstorming a potential story, would be interested in feedback concerning settings/themes

Hi all,
These days I'm generally writing academic papers and I've had a wearisome itch for some creative writing for quite a while. I've always had a soft spot for 40k and I have some ideas that I really want to flesh out, mainly stuff derived from some of the frustrations I've had with the genre, and some of my favourite stuff from 40k stories over the years. I'd be interested in discussing and fleshing out ideas related to setting and themes, as well as gauging the general level of interest in a story like this.
I have this huge problem with the sense of scale (or lack thereof) in 40k. I find much of Abnett's work very compelling as he often explores how "baseline" humanity interacts with the creatures and forces within the 41st millenium. However, I find most 40k fiction totally lacking a sense of vastness and I think this totally undermines an important grim-dark aspect of the setting that 40k is supposed to be famous for. I think there are some really compelling narratives and themes that emerge if the sense of vastness were better explored. Feeling insignificant is a very real, very scary thing and something most of us choose to ignore rather than face squarely. In fact, I would argue that it is actually impossible for us to really comprehend at all, our minds are simply not adequate to deal with the sized of things in the 41st millennium. I find it really interesting to think about how a baseline human would deal with the senseless and totally meaningless scale of a war in 40K, and it lends itself to themes from the existential, to the psychological, to the theological. I have in my mind a few themes I want to explore, and some of the characters and story beats. But I really want to dial in on a setting that makes the characters seem small and fragile, cast into an ancient, colossal and uncaring universe with nothing but their faith and a lasgun.
Here are some themes I am interested in exploring:
The Absurd/Existential
I have in my mind that the story will take place on a planet which has been at war for many decades. None of the characters were there to begin with, and none, (except for the youngest member - and even then, not for very long) expect that they'll see the end of it. I think it would be interesting to explore one might confront the pointlessness and triviality of their lives and actions. I think faith is often cited in 40k as the driving force of humanity in the face of it's powerlessness, but I don't think it is actually explored nearly enough...
Crisis of FaithThe emperor rotting on the golden throne reminds me of Holbein's Dead Christ, specifically, as it appears in Dostoevsky's The Idiot. In the book Rogozhin confesses to Myshkin that the painting is eroding his faith. In the same way, the emperors putrefying corpse represents the triumph of immutable forces over the original vision of immortality in that his appearance on terra once represented. Ippolit says of the painting, "It is as though this painting were the means by which this idea of a dark, brazen and senseless eternal force, to which everything is subordinate, is expressed."I have in my mind that the characters be expose to this image somehow, quite possibly shown to them as the planet their on becomes tainted by chaos. This will spur a crisis in the characters with many possible areas and arcs to explore.

Here is a blurb or preface I wrote a while ago that has spurred much of my thinking around the ideas, themes, and general vibe of the story. I'm interested to see what people think, whether I am on to something with the very rough ideas and themes I've presented.

There is no room left to manoeuvre.
There is no room for heroics.
No room for grand strategy; for great men; for grand victories and war stories. All that matters is how many bullets and men, ships and tanks, megatons and gigawatts. This is the reality of war in the 41st Millennium. Wars fought by countless legions of accountants. Wars won by the lives of billions.
Supply lines stretched across lightyears. Each tank, each man, each lasgun, every bullet shipped between the vast distances between stars, through the incomprehensible and unpredictable immaterium. Reinforcements take decades to arrive - if they arrive at all - and the outcome of each engagement was predetermined years in advance. Probable victories or defeats decided decades and lightyears ago by cogitators, clerks and servitors carefully weighing the risk and return of each battle using arcane mechanisms lost to the millennia. Civilizations won or lost on the basis of whether losing a world could advantage the enemy more or less than the cost of keeping it. Each victory itself an opaque metric at the bottom of some bureaucrats' balance sheets.
Yet wars are still fought and won by ordinary men and women. Wars that are so vast they are incomprehensible to the human minds that fight them. Where decisive victories tip the scale by imperceptible millionths of a percent. Where losses are so massive they are rendered meaningless by their orders of magnitude. Where trillions of men and women are called to fight by the only thing left in the human mind capable of driving them forward - faith. This was the emperor's greatest work; a vast machine set in perpetual motion among the stars. A colossal engine with so many moving parts, with so many degrees of freedom that there are none left to give.
There is no room left to manoeuvre.
There is no room for heroics.
Because in the 41st millennium, there is only war.
