The banking crisis has pushed investors to short some surprising (and unsurprising) names.
1 OLB Group ($OLB) This is a company with growing cash flow and businesses. Investing in stocks, such as OLB, is an excellent way to grow wealth. The successful prediction of OLB's future price could yield a significant profit. Although OLB may be in fact a good stock to invest, many penny stocks are speculative in nature.OLB looks very undervalued based on their $32 Million projected revenues for 2023 and only a market cap of $14 Million. If OLB traded at a reasonable 2 times sales, it would be at a market cap of $64 million (or $4.50/share.)
2 Silvergate ($SI) has lost almost 90% of its value since the start of the year, leaving traditional investors in the dust. Currently, the California-based regional bank has a short interest of 71.64%
3 Tattooed Chef ($TTCF), the only name on this list that’s up on the year. Currently, shares are up about 4% YTD. Despite this, TTCF has a notable short interest of 35.04%, likely attributable to its most recent earnings miss of -46 cents per share.
4 Hive Blockchain Technologies ($HIVE) might be one of the better picks for investors, seen through the lens that most others are losing money hand over fist. The brand’s net income is around $80 million, and it carries quite a favorable opinion on Wall Street, with two buy ratings from analysts. It also has an estimated upside of 97.92% at the time of writing. Also, unlike its peer companies, Hive is not straddled with debt and leverage. Its debt-to-equity ratio is low at 0.19, and it has a low ratio of current liabilities to current assets. An equal split of institutional

So I’ve been on OF for just under a month (on a throwaway account here) and so far it’s going well. Got a good following and a mix of chatty subs and lurkers.
Recently I gotta sub who has been sending huge tips everyday (often over $50) and seemingly asking for nothing in return except just a bit of mundane chat about life. He just likes to tell me about his day etc. it takes a bit of time up but he hadn’t asked for anything particularly sexy. I send a few nudes and mini clips but just as a little thank you.
It just all seems a bit to nice and easy and worried there may be some sort of ulterior motive and wondered if this is the norm? My partner is wary and I am a bit too but can’t see how it’s a scam as I’m not really having to give much in return…
Any comments and similar stories would be welcome!

Scope

These ships were given to me by Wargaming for review.
Welcome back. Sure, it does seem rather apt to jump into the first published review in sometime with the addition of two new Baltimores…well, one Oregon-City Cruiser, and another Baltimore. With both ships being so closely related, it seems fitting to tag them both together here. Per the norm, there will be lots of pretty charts, and a comprehensive breakdown of both ships; with the added benefit of showing exactly where these two wrap up into the bigger picture.
All stats are current to the best of my knowledge as of v5.1. Stats are subject to change in the future, and this review may not reflect those changes.
Celtic is a GREAT ship, with a MODERATE Skill Floor and a HIGH Skill Ceiling.
Rochester is an AVERAGE ship, with a LOW Skill Floor and a MODERATE Skill Ceiling.
Quite obviously, this review is going to be mostly centered on Celtic, with some Rochester slapped in there to show exactly how she stacks up to the competition. 2 for 1, or a freebie, you decide.
Nothing could honestly make me happier than to be able to bring reviews and writing to you all full-time. If this interests you and you enjoy reading my work, please support me if you can, as every little bit helps. My goal is to keep my reviews free and public for all to read; and by supporting my Patreon you can help keep me at my desk.

History

The design was first commissioned in the late 1930's, which adapted lessons learned from the preceding Wichita-Class and the currently under construction, lighter Cleveland Class. Baltimore's design featured an orthodox A-B-X configuration of 3 triple turrets of (8") 203mm guns. Fast and well-armed for the era, the fate of the project ended by cancelling later ships construction in favor of the Cleveland Class which were both faster, lighter, and quicker to build which meant more ships out at sea protecting US Navy Carriers. Baltimore Class Cruisers were built from 1941-1945 with some serving in various sub-classes until the 1970's.
With 14 completed ships of the class, the Baltimore-Class had the most constructed heavy cruisers built of any one class from nation during the war-time period. Generally considered a success, the class was preceded by the USS Wichita, and succeeded by the Oregon-City Class. With attached sub-classes, the Boston Class featuring the world's first Guided Missile Cruiser in the early 1950's USS Boston (CAG-1) and Flagship variations. The design was most notable for incorporation of surveillance radar, gun control fire systems which allowed for calculation beyond the horizon, 5'' Anti-Air, and 8'' Main Battery. This design was focused in on the ships ability to be a Carrier Fleet Escort Ship, capable of both Anti-Air Screening, Shore Bombardment, eventually being modified to serve as the world's first guided missile cruiser.
USS Baltimore (CA-68) herself was laid down in 1941, by Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation at the Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts. The ship was launched in 1942 and served until 1956 when she was decommissioned, and eventually scrapped in 1971. The ship served primarily in the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign, earning 9 battle stars.
HMS Celtic is a made-up ship that never actually existed but rests on the concept that would have been if the Baltimore Class had been sent to the Royal Navy. This was not an entirely foreign concept of the era either, with the two allied nations cooperating heavily with some ships being used by the other’s navy. It would be this cooperation that ultimately played a decisive role in every major theatre of World War 2.
USS Rochester (CA-124) was laid down in the same shipyard as her predecessor, in May 1944. She would be launched in August the following year, then commissioned into the US Navy in 1946. Succeeding the Baltimore Class, the Oregon City Class featured many similarities, with changes to her exhaust, superstructure and Anti-Air Suite. Rochester would serve throughout Korea and Vietnam, being decommissioned in the 1960s, and scrapped in the 1970s. 10 Oregon City Cruisers were planned, with only 4 completed.

The Basics

A Baltimore with a Super Heal and longer-range radar? Sign me up. Baltimore on her own is already one of the stronger ships in the game and in terms of utility, one of the stronger team players. Celtic takes an interesting concept and adds a new flair to an older line. She has her own strengths and weaknesses, all of which will be identified, some of which are likely to be seemingly splitting the finest of hairs. This ship has a bit less of a grudge against controlling caps than the traditional Baltimore but should be readily found in the same niche doing the same things, just slightly different. Radar support, anti-destroyer, area control are all tags that apply. Celtic is strong, strong enough to be thrown in with the likes of AL Baltimore, Mainz CE and Wichita CE.
Trashchester is tough. I’ll honestly do my best to not shred this ship into a bajillion pieces while pouring out the salt, but I’m only human. She was painful on release, and since she’s had work done, fitting for her review to be finally finished and published for you all to use as a dash of seasoning for dinner. On release, Rochester had a smoke fire concealment on par with her sister’s base concealment, meaning, her smoke was essentially pointless and served only to blind herself, and not her opponents. Lacking radar, Rochester presented as a clumsy self-blinding target unable to deal the things that engage her. What’s worse, Rochester trades her heal for her smoke, meaning, players are left purchasing a regular old Baltimore, with some fancy AA, or a deaf-mute without a heal. Yes. She was that painful; a concept that bumps in the worst of ways, both theoretically and in practice. While her concealment has been buffed, it’s still an awful kit as her smoke fire concealment is still too weak to present much of a force upon the caps. If we’re stuck to smoke firing spam, there are better ships than Rochester; even making good old Belfast 43 seem like a knight in shining armor.
Both of these ships do sport improved AP performance, in the shape of improved ricochet angles. We’ll tear this apart in the ballistic section, as per the norm. Baltimore’s ballistic performance has been studied quite extensively in the past, which has set up an excellent point of comparison.

Offense

• Celtic: GOOD
• Rochester: AVERAGE

Let’s start with the prodigal child and then work towards the bought rented mule. Celtic does well here, in terms of heavy cruisers (203mm) she sits nearer the top of the lists dropping more midfield when included with the rest of the pack. Apart from some of those silly DPM small caliber ships, Celtic packs a noteworthy punch. Rochester starts more midfield and holds her placing through the pack. For a 203mm cruiser, a 2s difference in reload is often enough to bump a ship up or down a rank, entirely. This translates to roughly 20k between the two, and about a full salvo difference.

Celtic has among the better AP DPM values for a 203mm armed cruiser, only being outclassed by ships with meatier AP. In terms of overall, Celtic sits more midfield. Her overall AP ballistic performance allows her to unlock more of this actual number than many of her counterparts.

Overall, there’s not all that much to crow about here. Rochester sits a bit lower on the charts than Celtic due to reload. Both have improved ballistics to offer compensation for a lack of torpedoes. The DPM numbers are at their worst, workable, and at best, functional, neither being awful nor spectacular. Celtic takes the edge due to better numbers overall.

Ballistics

• Rochester: GREAT
• Celtic: GREAT

The tell-all ballistic chart. Royal Navy Cruisers and US Navy Cruisers sport among the best AP performance in their respective classes and tiers. Celtic has among the best HE DPM numbers of the Baltimores, but takes a hit on her fire chance percentage. Rochester SHAP hits like a truck, along with her Baltimore cousins. Things get interesting here the more you study this chart, captains. Celtic has arguably better HE, but worse AP. Rochester has SHAP and excellent AP performance, but poor shell count. AL Baltimore once again takes the cake with the best “happy medium” of the bunch, sporting a decent shell count, SHAP with excellent penetration and a lower muzzle velocity introducing slightly higher arcs yielding much more forgiving angles on the receiving end…
What I can say definitively, is Baltimore SHAP has much greater penetration than the standard AP. Wichita leans on HE at range, and she has the numbers to back it up, Baltimore hardly ever shoots HE in practice which is backed up by her AP performance and penetration values. Captains, it would not be entirely erroneous in terms of gunnery to compare Stock Baltimore to Celtic and Wichita or Elite Baltimore to Rochester and AL Baltimore.

	Ricochet (o)	Fuse Time (s)	Sigma	Velocity (m/s)	Projectile
Albemarle	45/60	0.033	2.0	814	AP
AL Baltimore	60/67.5	0.033	1.8	762	SHAP
Balti-Stock	60/67.5	0.033	1.9	853	AP
Balti-Elite	60/67.5	0.033	1.9	782	SHAP
Celtic	60/67.5	0.033	2.0	853	AP
Rochester	60/67.5	0.033	2.0	762	SHAP
Wichita	60/67.5	0.033	1.8	853	AP
Wichita CE	60/75	0.01	2.0	853	AP

The major and palpable difference in performance here is between Celtic and the native Baltimores, is that Celtic lacks SHAP. This means Celtic’s AP shells weigh less, which translates to depleting velocity and thus penetration values faster than the Baltimores heavier shells. Fortunately, Baltimore has some of the best AP penetration in her class which means that Celtic can afford to lose some raw penetration value before she begins to suffer. Rochester wins the AP argument here, while Celtic takes the HE side. It’s almost literally splitting hairs, and Baltimore Mains will feel right at home in either ship.

	Fire Chance %	HE Pen (mm)	Shell Count	Velocity (m/s)	Projectile
Albemarle	17	33	43	814	HE
AL Baltimore	14	33	49	823	HE
Baltimore	14	33	45	823	HE
Celtic	10	33	54	823	HE
Rochester	14	33	45	823	HE
Wichita	14	33	54	823	HE
Wichita CE	14	33	54	823	HE

If you’re looking to start fires, grab Albemarle. However, this is about the only such category she takes. Celtic manages better with access to a shorter reload and better overall ballistic properties. Shell by shell, edge Rochester, overall, solidly in Celtic’s favor by a full 9 shells.

Torpedoes

• Torpedo-less

Neither of these ships sport torpedoes, so this section is predicably blank.

Defense

• Celtic: GREAT
• Rochester: AVERAGE

Let’s jump into the major category of defense. Celtic arguably may be one of the best, Rochester, rather mediocre. From the top.
Celtic has among the best effective health pools, just edging out Edinburgh with a chunky 66k. It’s worth pointing out Albemarle tops both with a mighty 78k, though most Albemarle tend to be much more passive alluding to a different playstyle entirely. Baltimore is considered “tanky” at 56k, and Celtic adds in a super-heal. I wouldn’t chance to say Albemarle is particularly tanky, but she can heal quite well. A Baltimore is tanky enough to access that 66k EHP and is a scary thought. Baltimore can take a punch, where Edinburgh relies on defense by trickery, clever armor schemes and angling, Albemarle by range and angle. It’s also quite worth mentioning that Celtic rests with 36,7k base HP, meaning on par with most Cruiser Lights. Captains, you will feel getting hit in Celtic. Kit with 9.9km radar, sonar, a super heal, decent armor, excellent AA and workable concealment…captains, this is a literal no-brainer. Celtic is a slightly different twist off some of the most competitive ships in the game.
Rochester is rather tanky like most of her preceding Baltimore cousins. She has the same armor scheme essentially, and similar HP/EHP values. While this would normally be good on its own, Rochester has an Achilles’ Heel. Rochester must choose between having smoke or having a heal, and outright lacks Radar. While she has defensive AA, this is mostly a living meme rather than consistently as effective in combat as Radar. As said before, in terms of smoke cruisers there are just better options some of which don’t involve sacrificing your heal, or even radar. This relegates Rochester to just being a rather average 203mm CA, with very slightly better AA and decent enough armor.
The ranking seems a bit harsh, but that’s generally the difference between the hunter (Celtic), and the hunted (Rochester). Rochester initially will feel getting hit less, due to a larger health pool however, the table quickly swings in favor of Celtic, which gets most of it back.

Armor

• Celtic: GOOD
• Rochester: GOOD

This chart below sticks to the USN and RN CA/CLs for now... At some point, this chart will include overmatch and juicy other details for all the cruisers, but for now, it is simple enough to get the point across. Most Cruisers have their critical spaces directly abutting the hull, others don’t. Cruiser armor varies widely and is worth looking at because there are absolutely ships with specific advantages worth exploring and exploiting. For now, let’s keep it simple.
As summarized before, the Baltimore Class has relatively good armor, while it has its weaknesses, is generally functional enough to get by. They are neither needlessly weighed down by their armor, nor under-armored. It’s worth saying Rochester and Celtic have vaguely the same armor lay out and will handle 380mm Battleships.

Anti-Air Suite

• Rochester: BEST
• Celtic: GREAT

Rochester takes the cake here, with better and larger AA guns she’s rather resistant to airborne pests. Celtic ties in with the close second, along with her sisters. The truly beautiful thing about either ship is that captains will not need to waste any energy into building this into making this sector a functional kit. Captains, you can save some defensive energy by focusing into Celtic’s Radar and by leaving Rochester in port. The magic number here is being north of that 350/s line, Azuma scrapes by with a bit of focus, where pretty much all the USN ships will laugh off aircraft. A major point of contention that is worth noting; Rochester is immune, Celtic is quite resistant to CVs, where Albemarle gets by here, and Edinburgh is rather hindered. I suspect this will be massively impactful for competitive players.

Concealment

• Rochester: GOOD
• Celtic: GOOD

Technically these are the same values while stock, and their rating is the same. However, this is quite deceiving. Rochester is GOOD leaning on GREAT where Celtic is GOOD leaning on AVERAGE. The reason for this follows their available commanders, which Shelly Beapley offers a unique 4th row concealment skill unavailable to any other commander, or nation. The result of this, Rochester, like her cousins sits at a comfortable 9.3km, where Celtic sits at 9.9km. Rochester can do almost nothing with this concealment, as she lacks radar, and her smoke fire window is just a pale 1.7km below her surface concealment. However, that .6km is a palpable difference and can open huge strategic windows; particularly once south of that magic 10km line.
The obvious connotation here is that hiding a radar cruiser inside 10km is far scarier than hiding a smoke cruiser inside 9.5, provocatively when that same smoke cruiser can be spotted inside her smoke at 7.6km. Captains, this 7.6km is on par with her sisters, however, this is a very narrow margin even for a support cruiser. Smoke is infinitely easier to use than radar, however, infinitely less forgiving.

Maneuverability

• Celtic: GOOD
• Rochester: WEAK

Celtic sits almost smack dab of the upper midfield pack of heavy cruisers where Rochester sits more towards the end of the pack. Rochester feels clunky and handles like it, where Celtic feels more “native” to her respective class sharing the same stats. While this is rated good overall, its more average in the face of Lighter Cruisers, representing more of a bang-for-the-buck scenario.

Commanders

Celtic:
Celtic essentially has one commander that is head and shoulders ahead of the rest, while the rest kind of just work. HotRod offers the best fit here inarguably, along with Radar Edinburgh and Radar Minotaur. This sets Celtic up to be a near par build with the USN CA Queen Shelly Beapley. While her 4th row skill’s absence here is certainly felt and results in a 9.9km concealment, the build is largely similar and works well for any radar focused cruiser. While there are other builds out there, this is the gem of the lot and helps unlock that sacred mantra of utility that surrounds the Baltimore Class. Inspirations should focus on concealment, Mikawa and Swirski, to bring Celtic’s detection to pair with her Radar.
HotRod

• Cognizant: -10% Radar Cooldown Time
• Ingenious: -7% Incoming Splash Damage, +1.6o/s Gun Traverse
• Full Speed Ahead: +5% Speed, -10% Rudder Shift
• Prescience: -20% Air Detection, +10% Radar Duration
• Acoustic Chamber: -25% Sonar Cooldown, +5% Sonar Duration, +1 Sonar Charge
• Fully Packed: -5% Consumable Reload, +1 Consumable Charge

Rochester:
Nothing can be easy with Rochester, and naturally, building her was to the same effect. Essentially there are two trains of thought for this ship, build into dispersion or build into utility.
AL Montpelier seemed to mesh the best, which then turns Rochester into a little flamethrower capable of merging all her shells into a single pixel. However, this build is rather finicky to use and has a fair number of weaknesses. The build heavily relies on team spotting and is itself a second-line cruiser. Something like a 19-20% fire chance and a nasty dispersion circle. Rochester already has excellent gunnery performance as discussed; Montpelier really sharpens the sword. Pair with AL Scharnhorst and Scott to reduce dispersion and sigma, respectively, even further.
AL Montpelier

• Anti-Air Mode: +10% AA Range
• Burn it Down XXL: +2% Fire Chance
• Igniter: +3% Fire Chance
• All-Out Assault: +4% Sigma, +10% Incoming Fire Dispersion, +5% Incoming Damage
• Fixated: +5% Sigma, -5% Dispersion
• Fully Packed: -5% Consumable Reload, +1 Consumable Charge

It's a rare day when Shelly gets sat down in favor of another commander in the USN CA tree, but I kept falling into the same pitfalls using the same build for similar ships often being able to use radar. Shelly will help bring out Rochester’s utility, but she’s arguably not as well fit in on Rochester as AL Montpelier is. Pair Beapley with concealment inspirations from Mikawa and Swirski and enjoy a very beautiful 9.3km concealment. Rochester has SHAP and excellent penetration values, meaning she can readily ambush and critically strike ships quite larger than her, all without torpedoes.
Shelly Beapley

• Refractory: -8% Chance of catching fire
• Ingenious: -7% Incoming Splash Damage, +1.6o/s Gun Traverse
• Full Speed Ahead: +5% Speed, -10% Rudder Shift
• Velocious: +5% Speed
• Private Zone: -8% Detectability
• Fully Packed: -5% Consumable Reload, +1 Consumable Charge

Consumables

Ok, rather than spell out everything, everywhere, all at once; I’m going to keep it simple here.
Celtic:

1. Damage Control: Standard, unlimited uses. 60s cooldown.
2. Sonar: 3km Torp, 4.2km Ship detection. Lasts around 98s when kit with Hot Rod and reloads in 132.
3. Radar: 9.9km range and lasts about 28s when built.
4. Heal: 733/s over 20s. Yep, that’s over 14k HP. Reloads in less than a minute too.

Celtic has a near ideal consumable suite. There are some differences off the mainstream, such as slightly less sonar range or shorter radar duration. Glossing over the minor differences, the bigger picture reveals something better. Built, Celtic can regenerate a LOT of health.
Rochester:

1. Damage Control: Standard, unlimited. 60s cooldown.
2. Defensive AA: +200% average AA damage. This is memes, it's sort of like a bug zapper for planes.
3. Sonar: Standard 3.3km/4.4km detection over 96s. The average sonar found on everything.
4. Smoke/Heal: 30s duration, 104s dissipation time for the smoke. 251/s over 28s for the heal.

Rochester is rather standard in her access to her consumables, with the killer choice between smoke or a heal. I’ve gone back and forth, generally landing on the heal. Rochester is essentially a decent cruiser hampered by her rather average consumable suite.

Modifications

1. Aiming Systems Mod 1: -7% Dispersion
2. Steering Gears Mod 2: -20% Rudder Shift
3. Concealment Mod 1: -10% Detectability
4. Main Battery Mod 3: -15% Gun Reload

Ok, so the modifications section is super easy because both ships share the same builds. Aiming Systems mod 1 for the dispersion, player’s choice on slot 2 with either propulsion mod 2 or steering gears mod 2. Concealment Mod 1 for slot 3 and finishing off slot 4 by increasing DPM with main battery mod 3.

Upgrades

• Both Celtic and Rochester are premium ships without any researchable upgrades.

Research

• Neither of these ships are currently used in Research Projects. Look out though, one of those random reward or anniversary projects in the future might literally scream having one of these two tucked inside.

Summary

• Celtic: GREAT
• Rochester: AVERAGE

Celtic is a joy. Rochester is work.
I can see Celtic becoming a popular contestant in competitive play with the access to that 9.9km radar and her super heal. I rather lamented her HE performance, more due to her lower fire chance then her DPM or ballistic performance. While it would be nice to see her have ¼ pen HE, she doesn’t need it. I find her nicely balanced and well measured to take on Tier 7. She is just unique enough to warrant her own review, whilst similar enough to stay nearer the beaten path. While she may not comfortably and outright usurp Wichita CE and AL Baltimore from their spots, she’s worth mentioning with the group. That’s saying something.
Rochester, well, let’s just say that not everyone can be the best. This ship is tough but can be rewarding in a sense of overcoming the demands of a challenging ships. My issue with Rochester is 2-fold, her smoke and her heal. She ideally needs both to function in this current meta, and running the ship’s gimmick leaves her with abysmal EHP in a plummet from pretty good to 3rd worst overall, which only trumps Harbin and Bayard while being out-healed by Weimar. With a smoke-fire penalty in the mid 7’s km, smoke is hard to use effectively that is not relegated to back line, HE spam. As said before, if we’re really going to be stuck to this, there are ships which do this better. While I love the perspective of a USN CA without radar just to offer something more unique, a USN CA without Radar is like a cart without a horse. Hilariously enough, Rochester seems to avoid CV games like the actual plague, so I suppose that’s one strong point. Otherwise, and largely, captains are left with a rather average 203mm CA.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years now. When we first met, I was very attracted to him and he had impeccable hygiene. He always brushed his teeth and chewed gum, always had clean laundry, always smelled good, always had clean hair. He was also about 170 which was a good weight for him, he was slim and athletic but not skinny. He often used to go for walks, runs, do push ups, and handstands. Over the years, he has had some very dark times that have worsened his depression. I have been with him through all of it and stuck by his side because I love him more than anything. However, I have noticed that over the past year or 2, he has had considerable weight gain and in the past few months started completely neglecting all of his hygiene. I believe this is due to his depression. He has started eating like a little kid, only sweets, chips, cake, soda, and meals targeted towards children. He often stinks, wears the same clothes for days, has greasy hair that he only washes once a week, if that. It has become a massive turn off for me and I feel a great deal of anxiety that the man I fell in love with is now becoming a 220+ pound couch potato. He is on medicine for his depression now but he is about to switch to another medicine that can cause more weight gain. I am worried for his health and his mental well being. On top of that, I want so desperately to feel attracted to my husband again. I have tried to bring up hygiene and his weight very lightly but even then, he gets very hurt. He doesn’t notice he smells and makes comments all the time about how he looks great despite what he eats. But, he doesn’t, he has a large stomach with rolls, a large chest for a man, and a double chin. I don’t know how to communicate with him that he is having some major hygiene and weight gain issues or how to help him. I know that this is clearly a mental health issue but I need advice on how to help him.
TL;DR: Boyfriend is struggling mentally and it has caused him to neglect his hygiene and gain 40-50 pounds or more.

Hi everyone 🤍, i have an URGENT prayer request. I know how powerful prayer is and just like Jacob, I’m willing to wrestle till I get my breakthrough!
I am struggling a lot financially after moving home a week ago to the point where I worry about my heating which is a prepay meter and food. It gets exceptionally cold especially in the night & morning and can get below minus. I am looking for work but also in need of basic necessities such as a bed and fridge. Any food that I brought had spoiled because of the lack of a fridge which I need the most at the minute because without it, I will have to keep buying food more often than required which is another stress. I don’t need much and this is a factor that caused me a lot of additional stress because only around £40-£50. Even if I get called to attend a job interview I don’t have money for food let alone transportation. It’s all too much 😞because it’s so many things spiralling in my mind that I am worrying about but praying about.
I would like some prayers because it’s amazing what a prayer can do especially when in agreement. It’s such a difficult situation but I always remember “weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning” Psalm 30:5. I don’t want to fall into the trap of depression, it’s a pit that is very difficult to get out of so I’m trying to remain in faith. I won’t stop praying because God said to call to Him & He would answer in Jeremiah 33:3 so please don’t stop praying in agreement with me 🤍.
God bless you all & thank you in advance for all the prayers.

I worked as Head of IT in a municipal office, and part of my job description was help desk things. Well, one day a kindergarten called and let me know their smartphones dont work. Not willing to elaborate any further I thought welp, I guess i have to drive there and see whats up myself.
For context they had a landline phone for the past few decades and only recently transitioned to smartphones with VOIP so that they dont have to leave the children to take calls.
I get there and the older (about 50 ish) lady explained to e that she recieves calls and texts, but can't call herself. I try everything out and it works like a charm. So I ask her to show me what shes doing when she wants to call someone.
"Well, I open the number app and type in the number" - proceeds to open the calculator and type in the telephone number. "Then I put the phone to my ear but nothing happens"
I calmly explained that this is, indeed, not a landline phone and she needs to use the phone app. Although I can understand the confusion, smartphones have been around since that lady was 30 ish.
Welp, 20 mins drive there and back for nothing I guess.

I know we have waited a bit to give our major Ramadan announcement, please forgive us for this.

It is 2023, we have gone beyond Covid and the world has normalized since then. What we have seen is a major war in Ukraine and re-kindling of old animosities between the 3 major superpowers. The Muslim world is resurgent and climbing out from the destruction of the ill-fated War on Terror imposed on the civilian population of our countries. Islam and its message still spreads worldwide, with different countries reacting to it in hostility and others learning to coexist with us. Fascism and ultra-liberalism both rear their ugly heads, and it seems much of their ire is aimed at Muslims. Turkey and Syria suffered a major earthquake which took the lives of more than 50,000 people. Flooding in Pakistan caused massive damage to the country which effected more than 30 million people. In addition to all of this, we saw a US-sponsored regime change in Pakistan which bankrupted Pakistan and brought misery on the common people in the form of police brutality, arbitrary arrests, torture, and assassinations of politicians, journalists, and those critical of the regime.
ٱللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
We pray to Allah swt that the world sees peace. We pray for our brothers in sisters all throughout the world, especially those suffering in Palestine, Kashmir, Egypt, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, UAE, KSA, GCC, Bangladesh, India, China, Uzbekistan, etc. from various woes and hardships.
We pray that Muslims all over the world who are denied their right to practice Islam are given back their rights. We look with worry at how islamophobia spreads throughout the world, and the victims of it fill us with sadness.
We ask Allah swt to bless our members with good grades on their examinations. We pray that Allah swt honors them in this world and the afterlife. We pray for their families and loved ones. We pray that Allah swt erases their hardships, fixes their problems, and gives them a wonderful life. We pray that those who are ill or those with sick relatives or friends, that Allah swt cures them of these illnesses. May Allah swt fix the financial, work-related, or social struggles which we may have. Verily only Allah swt can answer our duas.
We ask Allah swt to mend ties of the believers with each other, to fill mercy and compassion in their hearts, and that Allah swt allows us to live as One Ummah as our noble Prophet Muhammad saws asked us to.
Ameen, thumma Ameen.

asked a buddy to get some dmt for me, he wrote we has NN then he added "5 meo is white death" in the same sentence
is this the same?? NN and 5meo? im fairly new to this can someone explain, also how much should I take? He said 15mg first time
I did acid 50+ times but I have zero knowledge on differences with tryptamines

My budget is set around 4-5k USD. First off, I'm no vet to FS bikes, but I've been riding trails since I could ride and half of it on trails. I live in the tropics, so trails are muddy, wet at worst, dry and slippery at best. I'm looking for a bike that can handle trails and jumps without dedicating fully to a spec. Downhill bikes are not suitable for this I would think. I was looking at the Commencal Meta TR, and some Canyon bikes like the Spectral, Neuron and Strive [can't recall what this one is specifically good at].

Ok so this is just my personal view on where we are currently, I’m reading this whole broader situation like this : US government and all US money shows (Bloomberg, CNBC etc) have been trash talking crypto recently whilst it’s clear the US small banking system is finished, add in the fact there are serious (legitimate) concerns that we could be looking at the end of the US dollar as the world reserve currency - due to the U.S. literally printing untold amounts of money to prop up the shitty banks that they seem to be worthy whilst letting anything crypto related sink. It’s clear to anyone looking at this whole situation, even someone who is or has been super sceptical about crypto that there is likely a need to hedge against potential future ramifications of China and the Saudis selling oil in native currency’s (as opposed to in USD) and I think what we are seeing now is the first trickles of a wider market wave of investors that are trying to get into crypto to have some kind of reserve savings in it incase the worst happens for the US dollar.
Now I appreciate many will disagree with my analysis and that’s fine but the fact that we are seeing demand for BTC and ETH outstrip the usual risky bets on Alt coins shows that the money moving in in this phase is looking for stability and is buying the blue chips.
I think the fight from the governments and central banks will only get stronger from here on out UNTIL some institution somewhere offers a iron clad guarantee that they won’t be banning crypto and at that point the US will concede it has no chance of stopping what can not be stopped, at that point the flood gates will open and crypto will fly.
Interested to hear counter arguments to what I have written as I’m by no means an oracle on these things.
Bitcoin is $28.5k at time of writing this.

Hi my name is Declan I am the founder of Berseo. We are building a sharing marketplace for esk8s. I made a post on this sub asking for feedback on Berseo a few months back when we we're launching our v1 and I got lots of great feedback. From the feedback I’ve been improving Berseo & building more features.
Our biggest change has been our host insurance increase to $10,000. Every host now has $10,000 in insurance from Berseo in case of damage or theft during a trip. Also we’re now working with CNA so every host has injury protection insurance in case a guest gets injured during a trip.
We are also seeing increases in "try it before you buy it" guests, who book an esk8 for a few days to a week to see if they are interested in buying one for themselves.
I would love to hear the community’s feedback on this. I will be available all day today to answer any questions about Berseo or electric vehicles in general.
