Sonic the hedgehog plastic cups

just fyi, i work from 6:30pm-5:00am.

Shake the thought of you. You’re with me. In everything I do, my thoughts are with you. You are the definition of love. No one has been so gentle and kind and patient. You’re not proud, and not selfish. You’re never rude. I realize this more in your absence. You are my realization of what love should be. How could I ever thank you?! Even though it all seems opposite, I love you. I want you and I need you. I would send this directly if I could. From your cup of tea.

So I was going to replace the thermal paste on a six core single xeon processor in my 5,1
Before I go through that I was doing some research and saw some people had replaced their plastic pins with metal ones. That seems like a decent idea but 1) I can't find the same pins on eBay and 2) I wanted to hear what others had done in the same situation

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SONIC.EXE AND XENOPHANES????

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a crew with 2 spots for a friend and I. I ask the crew to get the milestone car every season, completing weekly elite cup would be awesome (I don't really get why is it that hard to do 8 races a day by a bunch of people...) and I don't want any apps outside the game for communication. In game chat is more than enough for me.
Both of us are making around 1 million points per season. If you're interested hmu or send a direct message. Thanks!

New to this. I have have periods of chronic migraine. Been in a great place for about 7 years and then bang second trimester pregnancy has me back in it! So obvs there is not many options hence I turned desperate found the curable app (I like it, but I struggling with the childhood truama focus as I dont have that!) so then I found tmswiki from Alan Gordon and that felt less culty and more open for those who might not have a truama past, now I ordered his book and found this forum! I believe in the neuro plasticity because I had two episodes of migraine that became chronic one for six mths that was broken by ketamine infusions which work on the basis of central sensitisation so I figure they are similar? However I feel like ketamine is easier than all the work needed to do it through Alan’s way 😆 it’s exhausting but I’m trying! If anyone would like to chat to an internet stranger, please let me know, it’s quite lonely going through this when fortuntaly everyone I know doesn’t have the unfortunate condition of chronic pain! Xx

Recently noticed a large mass on hedgehogs left side of face and under chin that's caused her to stop eating, drinking, and limits her activity as she is extremely swollen in that area. Hedgi now is barely having any bowl movements and if so they're very dry and small. We checked if it was an abscess but unfortunately the mass grew quickly and nothing came out. Had anybody experienced this? If so what did you do, I feel so bad because my Hedgi is struggling and obviously in pain as I find the Hedgi outside of it's dome and just lying flat on it's aspen. Also, the Hedgi is older about 5-6 years and she has been urinating red before and later had green fecal matter but both were treated and monitored at home, if you have any suggestions everything helps!

I've found some great ones online but it would be great to have a list somewhere for them, so we can support fans doing something cool - I know some of the places I've ordered from donate to local charities as well
HEre's some I've found:
Lpool Pins
Ball To Hand
Legends of Liverpool
Liverbadge Co
Hat Scarf or a Badge
Kop 207
LFC Iconic Moments
I also really want someone to do a Virgil Van Dijk 'Boom' one, or a Konate FA Cup one, someone who can actually do art should do this.

Prisoner of Azkaban
Snape comes to the Shrieking Shack, not alone, but with Fudge, Dumbledore, McGonagall and Hagrid and they find the trio with Sirius and Lupin and they reveal they had been listening on everything and then Snape tries to intervene but the trio disarm him, but he is revived by Dumbledore and then together everyone sees Sirius and Lupin expose Pettigrew.
Everyone makes their way back to the castle and then Lupin transforms into a werewolf. After the attack, the trio and Sirius are in the hospital wing and when Harry and Hermione wake up, Dumbledore tells them about Buckbeak and so they attempt to go back to save him.
Harry and Hermione free Buckbeak and hide him in the Shrieking Shack where he would remain hidden until the next night when Sirius would take him and fly away with him. Then Sirius takes Buckbeak that night and they leave with the trio, Dumbledore, McGonagall and Lupin waving goodbye.
Goblet of Fire
Sirius could find Harry at the Dursleys before the start of the book and stay there with him and it is revealed that Buckbeak was living up in the cave alone for a while with Dumbledore and Sirius visiting him to feed him. He would go to the Quidditch World Cup with everyone and Harry would notice Sirius looking sour everytime he looks at or speaks to Mr. Crouch.
He is present at the moment when Hermione's teeth are hexed and he brutally attacks Snape and punches Malfoy in the nose. Later he reveals in a letter that he is living up in the cave near Hogsmade with Buckbeak.
Then Sirius's next appearances are the same during the fireplace scene and the cave scene. He would attend the third task of the Triwizard Tournament and when Harry is gone, he accompanies Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape to save Harry and he listens to Crouch Jr. then goes to Dumbledore's office with him and Harry and Harry tells what happened in the graveyard and then they go the Hospital Wing and when Harry goes to sleep, it is revealed that Sirius told the others everything they heard from Crouch. After the scene with Fudge and Dumbledore making Sirius and Snape accept they are on the same side, Sirius leaves to alert the rest of the Order.
Order of the Phoenix
Everything with Sirius happens the way they did in the original timeline, except for a few differences. He isn't only living in his old home, but he also stays at Lupin's cottage several times since he doesn't like being inside his old home with unhappy memories and he is more compassionate and kinder. Before the Ministry battle, he still tells Kreacher to tell Dumbledore what has happened and is still killed.

Artificial Dumbness
Prologue
Nadia Khan opened her eyes slowly, trying to make sense of the world around her. She had a pounding headache and felt fuzzy and disoriented, as if she were in a dream.
She lay on the cold, hard wooden floor, the thin blanket barely providing any warmth. The room was dark and uninviting, with only the faint light from outside coming in through the window. She heard the powerful roar of the ocean crashing against the boat and the creaking of the ropes swaying in the salty breeze.
She could feel the hairs on her arm standing up as she surveyed the area. There were several other people in the room, their bodies still and silent in their deep sleep. They were dressed in ragged clothes and had chains around their ankles. Nadia felt a cold metal on her own leg and realized she was also shackled to the floor.
She felt a surge of panic and confusion. Where was she? How did she get here? What was going on?
She tried to remember what had happened before she woke up. A blank space in her memory. She couldn't recall anything.
She reached for her headset, hoping to find some clue or explanation. But there was nothing on her head. No headset, no wires, no electrodes. Nothing.
She felt a sudden chill as a realization hit her. She wasn't wearing her VR suit, either. She was wearing a simple dress that looked like it belonged to another century.
She glanced back at the window. Outside, there was a clear blue sky and a vast ocean. The sun glinted off the distant island, its towering mountains and dense forests silhouetted against the sky.
She noticed something else—a small screen floated in the air next to her. As she looked, it had text and numbers. A game status screen? She wondered while squinting her eyes to read it.
Name: Nadia Khan
Class: Stowaway
Level: 50
HP: 100/100
MP: 50/50
XP: 0/10000
Skills: Stealth, Lock-picking, Dagger Mastery...
Quests: Escape from the Pirate Ship (0/1)
She was in a game world.
But how? And why?
She felt a surge of disbelief and fear.
This was impossible.
This was insane…
Chapter 1
The brave remote shores of the beach next to peaks of Mount Silwan had braved more than they showed on their brow. A local fisher, who most people around him considered as polite as a perched peacock, noticed a foundation stone with a marking that made him think of the taste of his wife’s cooking when she was not in a particularly pleasant mood.
The foundation stone was textured and rough to the touch, and from the perspective of a sparrow soaring high, it seemed of colors ranging from a vibrant crimson to a bottle-green with a hint of blueberry blue.
There was something unique about it—to the fisher, it looked like a hedgehog tumbling around, attempting to imitate a rolling tumbleweed in the Hami desert.
On one fine day, a day which did not seem at all different from any other summer day, the village, the beach, and the entire mount Silwan were wiped out completely.
It was all because of a mistake or rather a series of mistakes which occurred even though they had the minimal probability of occurrence—a probability which was lower than that of a group of Monkeys writing a book about a group of monkeys writing a sonata in the style of Shakespeare.
This story is about that mistake which has no relation to the bad cooking or the fisher, but is linked intrinsically to that Foundation Stone and its weird origin.
It all started with a President’s desire to make an AI to control the world.
Zhavi Mastermind felt the cold Himalayan air cut through him as he gritted his teeth and stayed determined. The task he came here for was worth all the effort and care he showed it. Being a software architect working for a start-up focused on mapping the universe, Zhavi had made himself enough money to pay for his travels and more. He could probably afford hired help. But then knowledge was precious, especially information which could lead to unlimited success or even world domination or more. Besides, he needed to have a tiny footprint. The more people with him, the easier it would have been for anyone to spot his operation. And then someone could interfere. Besides, he wouldn’t want even his hired help to know details about his plan. There was too much at stake here. So, he followed the only option for him that seemed right—he had to work under the radar.
His trip so far had been short and mostly sweet. As he had traveled all the way here, there had been a few hiccups here and there, but overall, it had been event-free. Most people recognized him as a tourist, so it made him easy to be ignored.
The night before had been tiring, as he had set up camp here. To a casual visitor, it would appear that Zhavi had set up his base simply because it seemed the right place. He had planned every step of the way. This was the place to be. It was around 30 feet from the target, which made it easy for him to set up a personal area network which had a range of up to 33 feet.
He targeted the place where a power surge had been detected and ignored. As he sat down waiting, he recalled how he had discovered it truly by chance. He had been working with data from a reconfigurable radio telescope and found a powerful signal—a signal which could only have been signifying intelligent life. As he analyzed, he found out that the source was not from any other place but a place in the Himalayan region in Northern Pakistan some distance from the base camp of one of the most formidable peaks, “Nanga Parbat.”
The encryption that he had cracked had been eye-shattering. Initially expecting it to be some boring secret communication by a government, it had shocked him to see the communication in a language beyond anything that existed on the planet. A higher dimensional language, so to speak, with words with meanings which were impossible to decipher for mere humans. Each word lay in the cross section of concepts. As Zhavi explored, he used brute force decryption with the help of resources from a global public super-computing facility to discover the meanings. And what he found was truly astounding. There were historical, cultural, and geographical references in the signals. It was impossible to understand them without taking notes on each of them. The problem, however, was that none of them were from Earth and that’s when he realized he had to get here.
The data scientists ignored the signal as an outlier even though it had been detected once. As Zhavi dug deeper, he found another incident over two decades back.
Zhavi had been compiling the data for the last three years now. And he knew now was the time for it to activate again. The signal’s source had been camouflaged to prevent human interference, except during this time.
What he had learned from the signal was too complex to be deciphered easily. But he knew it was enough to conquer the world and more.
He took a long breath inside. The freezing cold mountain air made him feel alive. He felt a gush of warmness as adrenaline poured inside him. The icy wind stung part of his exposed areas like mosquitoes made up of ice crystals.
As he moved outside the tent, snow as soft as cotton fell slowly from the sky. Zhavi was fully alert now. Everything was at stake. If he missed now, he would probably never have another chance. In the next twenty-five years, when the signal repeated, who knew if he could make it? That would not be the worst thing that could happen. The worst would probably be if someone else would find out and if he could find it, what would stop anyone else from doing the same? And the probability of that someone being a powerful government agency such as from the US was high.
Everything seemed just right. He had discovered the signal occurred in a particular alignment of the Earth with a certain very active star system in the Milky way.
If he could find it, someone else could find it too. So, it was now or never.
Zhavi authenticated and opened the shiny black box. Inside, lights were turning off and on as he flipped the switches. Screens around him lit as his custom designed distributed operating system booted up and synched.
A soft voice said, “Your secure Personal area network is now operational.”
“Turn on the security system.”
“Security system turned on. Cameras operational. Lasers are operational and looking for targets.”
Zhavi was a pacifist. He would always tell himself he never believed in violence. But he just hated to be disturbed. He was, however, also a realist. He realized the need for sacrifices for some causes. And that sometimes extreme measures need to be taken to attain success. If there was any such day in his life where he should never be disturbed, it was today.
As he listened to the whirring lasers and the automated drones guarding his position and looking for intruders, he focused his cameras on the approximate location where he thought the item should appear and waited. Everything seemed to be fine.
A sudden, blinding flash of light caused Zhavi to flinch in surprise. He took a step back, his eyes widening in wonder as he tried to grasp the magnificence of the object in front of him.
“Dr. GB, Dr. GB, sir, you need to see this. You have a letter.”
“I have a what?”
“A letter, sir.”
“How is it possible? You know, girl, your brain gone mad. We don’t even have an address. How can somebody send us a letter in the middle of nowhere? It’s the Congo river, not some small lake, Mary.”
“Sir, I assure you it’s for you. I just found it on the porch outside.”
It was a hot day, like many other days in Congo, as Dr. GB Smith sat on his reclining chair in one corner of the makeshift hut that he called his lab. He lazily eyed the plump woman standing near the door, her bright clothing standing out in the shadows.
“Why are you standing over there?”
“Sir, you didn’t let me come in.”
“It’s just a lab.”
“Sir, the last time I tried coming in, that fish thing you have in there. It shocked me.”
“Aha, the eel. You should be proud, Mary. You should tell your grandchildren an eel struck you.”
“Sir, I doubt I’ll have any children or even get married if I keep working for you.”
“It’s not that dangerous, Mary. Be brave.”
“Sir, it’s not about just the place being dangerous. Of course, there are no safety procedures or anything. The real problem is that you don’t pay me. It’s not like you paid me some months of salary and then got late with just one. You haven’t paid me anything. So, if I don’t die after being bitten by one of these things that you keep here in this lab, I think I’ll probably die of starvation. To let you in on a little secret, I am probably only surviving because I am living with my parents.”
“Too much information. TMI, Mary,” said GB. As he eyed her, Mary stood still, looking unconvinced by Dr. GB’s invitation or even his attempts at humor, which she probably considered at least distasteful. Her one hand was on the door, with the other holding something with just one foot inside the lab.
GB scratched his white beard, trying to keep up with his planned expression of an air of disinterest, and looked into her eyes. “So? Aren’t you going to give it to me?”
The girl first looked on both sides and then ran towards him. Before he could say anything, the letter was flying on top of him as he masterfully apprehended it on its way to the side.
He said, “So we are all set, right? You are telling me you are fine. Not starving and still alive. Every day, this is just what every animal in the river can wish for.” He looked up only to find her running away towards the door.
GB sighed. As much as he didn’t want to show it, he was worried. This was the third one this year, and he was running out of candidates. Mary had tolerated him for a period far longer than the previous ones.
As he looked at the letter, he felt the texture of the wax seal beneath his fingertips. His eyes opened wide.

Next

Someone can show me a showcase with Spread without Yae??? Is impossible that i took more than 5 hours* only to finish this side at 8:05?
Alhaitham COR1- Beidou c2 -Nahida c0 - Kuki c5
Avarage time (when my rotations are good, with ER always ready):
-9:05 the first wave
-8:10 the second wave
One thing that i noticed: my RNG of elemental seed of the beast sucks. Spawn always away from me, or too late. Instead in the videos, players have always their seed close. One time i has been lucky and i reach my record: 8:14... My problem is not make 9*, but use this team smooth.
Ps. I dont think that 1 more level on Nahida and Kuki's talent's can make the difference between my 8:08 and 8:20+ that i see in the web.
Builds

• Alhaitham
• Beidou
• Nahida (i don't have materials for her talents now) (she has a 4* cup because 5* EM Cup is rare)
• Kuki

My few good runs:

• https://youtu.be/qYO7CShOCp4
• https://youtu.be/PIc2LPLqAQM
• https://youtu.be/pgj-71lA7C0 (this is a bit long)

​
P.S Play from PS4 is a real hell!

• -Dodge is so difficult! Lag.
• -Also some Burst are not trigghered in time.
• -Hold pressed talents are difficult (if you see my character still, is because Ps4 pad has big input lags, so i need to re-press the bottom.)
