Times tables 1 12 printable

1: The amount of cards in the game was good Before this expansion, every region had a very similar amount of cards and a good variety of archetypes available. The game didn't actually need a lot of new cards that badly. In fact, the only reason to release new cards into the game is to keep things fresh at this point. We are no longer in the days where the devs are desperately trying to fill up each region. We had reached a comfortable point.
Riot seems to believe that removing 1/4th of each region is a good move for the game, but instead it makes us go back to the days where some regions feel incomplete.
2: Each balance change makes massive differences (power creep can be fixed) Every time one of the big players in the meta is changed, one can expect things to change. Katarina nerf, Ryze's rune buff, Seraphine's nerf, etc. There's a lot of recent examples of a card being changed slightly and it being a sizeable change to the ranked meta. Historically, almost every balance patch has been a breath of fresh air and well received. And on the subject of power creep, it's not like it has slowed down. One look at Samira or many of the unrotated cards like badger bear will let you know they're not intending to lower the power of cards. It's still going up.
Riot seems to believe that a major rotation is needed to stop power creep, while they could have made balance changes instead.
3: Multiple recent additions to the game have had a noticeable drop in production quality There is an absolutely glaring issue in the recent expansion and that would be the lack of voice lines for certain cards. When the game was released, it would be unheard of to have a card with a person who doesn't speak! Even worse, a lot of voice acting work that is beloved (avarosan sentry) is being replaced by these new cards with less work put into them (endless sentry, samira followers)
Riot seems to believe quantity is more important than quality. They would rather release more cards quickly than making them as polished as they used to be.
4: Cards can be reworked In all his years, Vladimir was never reworked, whilst other champions have been reworked. Look at Kalista. She used to have a very strange ability, but Riot didn't simply remove her, they reworked her and kept all her cards, and she's in a healthy state to this day. Even TF could be reworked to still work with card draw without being broken. But, they never even tried.
Riot seems to believe that the only way to deal with certain problem cards is to remove them from the game entirely, while historically, reworks have done the job.
5: LoR is a game where players get attached to cards It's no secret this game's design philosophy is mostly based around champions and their archetypes. It's the thing that makes many people love the game as they develop a close relationship to certain cards. In fact, this game is VERY different from other games, people really care about individual cards. One big reason for that is that the cards are beautiful, have big art and lore attached, and have a ton of voice lines. Each card is valuable, and people care about them. Why remove them? It's absolutely devastating and depressing for those who love these cards, and it's very sad for the artists that did such a great job.
Riot seems to think removing THIRTY-SIX champions from the pool of playable champions is the right move despite knowing LoR players have love for certain champions.
6: We don't need that many new cards As mentioned in point number one, the game was in a good state in my opinion. Sure, the meta had grown stale and certain things were problematic, but we were not in a state of emergency. Thus, I would argue that there is no need to add so many new cards to the game. In other words, this expansion cycle is not sustainable. Even worse than that, it seems like development resources are going into cards more than into purchasable cosmetics. Unlike with league, the new content isn't something most people buy with premium currency since LoR is quite generous with F2P. So why not add cards to the game more slowly but focus more on making cosmetics? Riot would make more money doing this and people literally want this.
Riot seems to think pumping out a large amount of cards is important, while it would be totally okay to release a lot less cards.
In conclusion Riot's current design philosophy and development cycle are deeply flawed, and I believe a lot of it is rooted in ungrounded fears. I won't attempt to hide the fact I am deeply unhappy about the rotation, and I think it's clear from the state of this subreddit many people feel the same way. LoR's dev team continues to misunderstand their own game time and time again. Players keep asking for balance changes, I've never seen someone demand new cards, and yet this development cycle and philosophy seems entirely focused on pumping out more cards even at the expense of old beloved ones, as if that is all the game needs. This isn't a game where cycling through large amounts of cards makes sense. It's a game where the quality of the cards matter. The attachment and love for each champion matters. LoR is not like other card games, and Riot doesn't seem to understand its strengths.
That is to say, LoR's dev team has the wrong philosophy, and this rotation exemplifies it.
I believe they should revert the rotation and work on a balance patch instead, because if they continue on this path, things won't improve. As for me, I'm going to stop playing for the foreseeable future. I simply can't build a deck without opening the collection and feeling depressed.

Hi everyone. Hoping what I'm about to ask is possible.
I have a M1 (2020) MBP running Ventura 13.2.1. I also have a Windows 11 PC with an NVIDIA GPU.
My new monitor allows side-by-side images from two sources. It basically splits the screen in half and can show one computer on each half. The monitor's native rez is 3840x2160. By default, the sources were displayed in landscape mode, which wasted a lot of screen space and looked tiny, so I started looking into ways to make each of the computers output a 1920x2160 portrait resolution to fill up half of the screen.
On the Windows PC, the OS didn't allow me to do what I wanted, but I was able to achieve it via the NVIDIA Control Panel, by defining a custom resolution and manually changing monitor timings and active pixels. (screenshot of the settings here) . This resulted in this layout (sorry for the crappy phone pic).
As you can see, the Windows half of the monitor looks great, but I can't for the life of me find an equivalent solution on the Macbook. System Settings doesn't even allow me to set portrait resolutions without rotation, and the 3rd party apps I've tried ( EasyRes and BetterDisplayPro) allowed me to pick a portrait resolution, but the gpu doesn't scale it to the full available space on my monitor (pic).
I assume this happens because it still sees my physical monitor as 3840 pixels wide and scales the image to fit into that. The same was happening on Windows, until I went manual on the monitor timings in the NVIDIA CP and changed the horizontal active pixels value to 1920.
Is there a similar way to change the monitor's active pixels in Mac OS? I'm very comfortable with UNIX commands, config files, etc. I'd prefer to avoid recompiling drivers, but heck I'll do that too if push comes to shove. I'm hoping that one of you experts out here can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Hey guys, long post incoming, so if you read the whole thing, thank you so much❤️
Ok, so daughter just turned 3, and since she aged out of Early Intervention, we had the option to enroll her in our town’s public preschool (for 3 & 4 year olds). This preschool is integrated, meaning half the kiddos in class are “peer models” (no developmental delays/diagnoses) and half the kiddos in class are on IEPs (any kiddo with a developmental, learning, and/or physical disability).
Just some background on my daughter first:
She was diagnosed with level 1 ASD when she was 2.5. While the diagnosis wasn’t a complete and utter shock, we were still a little surprised, as were her EI team and speech therapist. Maybe she was misdiagnosed, maybe she just doesn’t present as “typically” ASD; either way, it didn’t really matter because the additional services available to her now can only help.
We decided that ABA wasn’t for us, in part for all the reasons discussed on this subreddit, and because we hadn’t noticed any behavioral issues BEYOND her just being a toddler, that would warrant ABA. Daughter’s main struggle is her speech delay (which has improved substantially with EI and speech therapy). She does not have any sensory issues. We decided to do OT a couple months ago, mainly just because it “was there and why not” and by week 7 of 1x per week appointments, her OT said she felt as though she does not need it any more/ would not benefit from continuing.
Also worth mentioning: she has been home full-time with mum since she was born, no daycare. The only thing close to that was her EI playgroup 1x per week for 2.5 hours. She did that playgroup for 6 months until she turned 3.
Ok, so now on to our issues:
She started preschool 2 weeks ago. We decided to have her go 4 days per week, 6 hours per day. Between her being sick and having the 1 day a week where she is home, up until today she’s only attended 7 full days. During the initial IEP meeting, we asked if we could do half the week as half days (2 hours/per day) and the remainder of the week as full days (6 hours/per day). We got push-back from the special ed director on this - she said it “wasn’t ideal” to have her days jumbled like that, and that they were recommending she do full days, 5x per week. (Daughter’s Neurologist also recommended in the diagnosis/report, that daughter should be in a full-time preschool program) Ok, fine. We settled on 4 days per week, with 30 minutes per week of speech therapy, and the rest of the time she would just be in the classroom with her peers, as the social interaction (in addition to her speech therapy) were the main goals on her IEP. Her IEP also stated that she would have 1:1 time (in class) with a paraprofessional as needed.
Daughter has been fussy at drop-off in the mornings, but but according to her teacher, she does just fine once she’s in the classroom. I even had an in-person meeting with her teacher last week (it just so happened to be the week of parent-teacher conferences) and teacher indicated that although daughter was a little overly clingy/cuddly, she was a joy to have in class, and was doing “just fine.”
As mentioned earlier, daughter has been fighting off a cold the past week, so she’s been fussier than normal. Her teacher knew that she wasn’t feeling well, which is why we kept her home for several days. We got a call from her teacher two nights ago, saying that daughter was having a really hard time, was very teary during the day, especially after lunch, and that she was recommending that daughter start doing only half days for the remainder of the school year. Um, what??? So after only seven full days in a new preschool, you’re recommending that we completely change her IEP, and have her go for two hours per day for the remainder of the year? Even though this is a preschool specifically meant for children with IEP‘s, and which is taught by special education professionals? And instead of scheduling an official IEP meeting to discuss these issues, you call us at 9 PM on a school night to ask if we can start her on only half days?
Does this sound bizarre??? Am I overreacting? Do you think that this is completely unacceptable? Do I need legal counsel?

Hi all! I just want to put myself out there since it was one of my goals this year to be ~less~ of a consumer and if I had to consume, to put my discretionary income towards better causes than corporate profit. To put this in context, this was a month of my "fun" money spending for the month of March, meaning it excludes things like rent, groceries, and bills, which unfortunately are wrapped up in larger more unethical corporations like my property manager and Kroger. My husband and I are each allotted about $160 per month to do whatever we want with, which includes saving. I try to save most of my allowance each month and either donate it or put it into savings for emergencies or other expenses. It's been a journey for me to become less materialistic, but I gotta say, tracking my spending and reflecting on it at the end of each month has been a huge help for me to be aware of my consumption and to start thinking about other changes I could make.
I do want to put myself out here and potentially roast myself for some of the spending decisions I made, and reflect on what I can do next month. I'd also love to hear from other anticonsumers on what you spend or don't spend, and tactics you take to keep your consumption to as minimum as is doable for you. So without further ado...
Total budget per month for me: $160
Expense 1: $15 spent on attending 2 different baseball events at the university local to me. We walked to the stadium, so double points for that since our city is not very walkable and it's a huge win when we are able to walk. This was such a fun experience, but I would say I have a weird relationship with giving money to universities since this and other universities seem a bit greedy. I could possibly change things up for the better by
Expense 2: $28 spent on secondhand clothes and CDs at a notoriously unethical thrift store. I purchased a few summer clothes since I had about 4 summery tops, and I purchased some CDs since I recently swore off listening to radio with ads and my car is too old to have Aux. These expenses were not truly needs since I definitely could have survived without them, but I justified it by thinking that they would "improve" my life. In some shallow way they did, but I need to get out of the mindset that stuff is what makes life better. On top of that, I hate giving my money to this particular store due to their poor corporate ethics. The only positive is that I did buy mindfully, and secondhand. Everything I will love for a long time.
Expense 3: $5 spent at a local car wash. I wasted a lot of water that day. How I can do better is perhaps this spring replace some car washes with a "rain" car wash and soap her up before the rain hits. On a positive note though, my car is 23 years old and whatever I can do to keep her running in good condition and to keep me from feeling the "need" to buy a new car, I'll do.
Expense 4: $47 spent on Thriftbooks. I purchased some secondhand Steven Kings (reading the dark tower series) and a few additional books that are not available at my local library. Also, I love writing in my books so I tend to purchase the books I'm truly going to study. Thriftbooks is my go-to for book "hauls" since it's not... a certain website we all hate. I also only buy books that I reread regularly, and anything else I get from the library. Secondhand books are my true splurge.
Expense 5: $2 spent on one book at my local library bookstore for ANOTHER book. Money well spent I'd say.
Expense 6: $6 spent on Ravelry, where I purchased a digital knitting pattern for socks.
Expense 7: $7 spent at a local yarn shop for wool yarn to make above socks.
And finally, Expense 8: $.99 spent on a monthly subscription to my small local newspaper. I stay informed of my community, and no waste is produced. Yay!
Like I said earlier, I find it helpful to type this out just for myself, to reflect on my consumption and if I am proud of what I did, or regretful. At this point in my life I really have to be cognizant of the *things* I bring into my home, especially clothing and books since they are the things that tend to cycle through my life most often. Looking at my March spending, I can say I'm pretty happy with everything I purchased, though I really can't be spending this kind of money EVERY month going forward. A few takeaways: I am very happy I didn't really buy anything new. 4 of the 8 "things" I bought were intangible or digital things that don't hang in a closet or sit on a shelf/cabinet. Second, I'm also proud of myself that the items I bought were all secondhand and I at least tried to source from a more ethical place than a mall.
I know for some this might seem like a lot of spending, and for others, it seems miserly. I'm not trying to toot my own horn or compare or anything, just reflect and get inspiration. Would love to hear your thoughts on this or any kindly worded suggestions on how I can do better. We all need to continue working on being imperfect when it comes to goals like this, so I'm not going to beat myself up, or anyone else over consumption, I'm just trying.

Erstwhile technical director James Key has departed McLaren, leaving a three-pronged new arrangement headed by three technical directors, namely Peter Prodromou (aerodynamics), Davide Sanchez (car concept and performance) and Neil Houldey (engineering and design).
Stella suggested that under the previous structure the contribution of Prodromou in particular had been restricted.
"I think there were some limitations somehow associated with the model," said Stella. "In aerodynamics, we wanted to have a technical director that leads aerodynamics. Full empowerment to this technical director.
"And we wanted to unleash a very strong resource that we had internally, and that, for some reasons was under-utilised, like Peter Prodromou, one of the most competent experts in F1 in relation to aerodynamics.
"And this wasn't happening as efficiently as it should have happened, let's say, so this is something we wanted to fix.
"And it perfectly fits the model at the same time by giving aerodynamics clear leadership, clear guidance as to the concepts that we wanted to develop and lead to the car."
Stella stressed that the focus was on combining science and common sense in order to to make the car faster.
"Part of the model as well was the approach to performance," he said. "We wanted to improve in terms of definitely being strongly scientifically based, but at the same time, F1 is a quick game, and fast. You need to be pragmatic sometimes, to utilise calm common sense. And I don't think we were very good at doing that previously.
"And another thing we wanted to improve is empowerment. We have senior members in aerodynamics, the senior members in the technical department, these guys, they need to unleash their expertise, they need to be able to make decisions.
"This makes the whole team move faster. And this is also something that we needed to address from a model point of view and, if you want, in particular through the restructure and the appointment of leaders."
Stella hinted that under Key's technical leadership there was a cap on ideas.
"I think there's a misunderstanding when it comes to decision-making in F1," he said. "I think people think that you are there all the time with somebody making a decision. But in reality, it's much more about creating competitive ideas, because this is what leads to natural decisions.
"This is the position in which we want to put McLaren in the future. We don't want to be at a very comfortable table with somebody in charge making all the decisions, but very uncompetitive in terms of the ideas we bring to the table.
"Or with the one actually being in charge kind of setting an upper limit to the level and the quality of the ideas the group generates."
Stella also acknowledged that the team has to run with a temporary structure until former Ferrari man Sanchez joins in January.
As part of that McLaren veteran Neil Oatley, who has recently been working on non-F1 projects, has been recalled to action.
"We are creating some measures to compensate for this vacancy," said Stella. "There are groups that will report to David, like the vehicle performance group, some other performance analysis, competencies that we have in race engineering. They will kind of step up in terms of contributing to the concept and to the performance analysis.
"I'm even more involved myself in supporting the technical exec from a car concept point of view. And we have also deployed Neil Oatley to help in this transitional phase.
"So we have stronger resources available at McLaren. In the short term, we are going to make a bit of a tactical usage of these resources, while the long term is a strategic foundation, obviously."

I know this will sound crazy, but I have 30 pair of bibs which range from Castelli, PI, Giordana, ProCorsa, Giro and few other brands. I don't really cycle much since surgery a year ago. The most I can do is 9miles, 12 on a good day. So to me all the bibs I have feel fine. I can't really tell the difference since they all feel real comfortable. I usually buy these bibs when they're on sale. I like to try different brands that are out of my budget when they go on sale. Most of these bibs range from 160-250 dollars, which I snag up when on a 50-60% off sale on different website. I try a different one every time I go for a ride, but will doing this make them last longer or will picking 3-4 to use until they wear out be wiser?

TLDR: Im a 29 year old female with a 29 year old boyfriend of 3 years. Bf is controlling, does no housework, has unrealistic expectations, hates my family and is incredibly angry all the time. This behavior is so abnormal to me, it's not how I grew up or even how I function in the world. I'm dumbfounded and at a loss for how to even respond to him anymore. So I need to know, how would you respond? Am I the asshole? Am I in the wrong? See below for more details and examples.
Control: This has been getting worse and idk what to do about it. He doesn't like being told no. And if I say the word no he gets angry and starts to pester me until I give in. It's exhausting. A small example is when we go out to dinner. I have to try his alcoholic drinks or beer every time. If I say "no" he gets mad. He told me that unless he agrees with the reason why I'm saying no and deems it a justifiable answer then I have to do it. I told him me saying "no," regardless if it's over something like trying his alcoholic drink or regarding sex, my no should be respected. Regardless of the reason behind my no. But he doesn't agree. And if I say no he starts to blame me (you never try new things, your boring), guilt me, and if those don't work he begins to annoy me until I give in. And if I stand my ground he will make comments about how I'm being difficult and its not even that big of a deal. I literally feel like I can't make any decisions on my own and if I do I better be prepared to defend myself like I'm going to court. It's ridiculous.
He is alway giving me commands and telling me what to do. But if I don't do something the "right way" aka his way then he loses his shit. I feel like I'm in a parent/child relationship.
Housework: I work from home except for 1-2 days a week. My boyfriend works away from home every day. Because of this my bf expects me to do all housework and be available to do anything he asks. Those things include: dishes, laundry, all cooking, making him drinks, grocery shopping, sweeping/moping, cleaning litterbox, mowing the lawn, raking leaves, shoveling snow and honestly anything around the house that needs to be clean. He has unrealistic expectations of things and due to his OCD has to have everything in a specific place (but leaves piles of his stuff everywhere that he never cleans up until I move it into a pile out of the way and he blames me for losing his things). Mind you, we moved into our house a year ago and he has no idea where things go or how to even "work" the dishwasher or washedryer. He 100% engages in weaponized incompetence (pretending he doesn't know how to do thing. When he lived on his own for a long time and used to do everything himself). I have told him that I don't need "help" doing chores rather he needs to contribute to living in this house too. He contributes to the messes so he should clean up. I did not grow up in a house where the woman did everything like his mom. I've seen it with my own eyes and when we visit his family his mom does everything. I grew up in a house where you make a mess you clean it yourself, you do your own laundry and care for yourself. But it's like he assumes I take on the responsibility of doing chores because I'm a woman. And I say this because he makes "jokes" all the time about how house chores are not his job and "that's a woman's job."
Also, he gets very upset when he gets home from work and I don't want to do any more chores or work on the house. Since I work from home I'm always doing housework in between working. But he thinks that I should keep working on house stuff with him hours after he gets home cuz if i dont then he isnt motivated to do anything. He can't do things by himself and he gets upset when I just want to relax. It's like he thinks I'm lazy but im the one who does everyhing!! He made a comment the other day that all I do is dishes and laundry....He thinks that's all I do when in reality I do everything.
Finally, I pay for our house payment which is $1800 a month as well as groceries, any pet items or bills. He makes 3 times more than me but expects me to pay 100% of the rent. And when I've talked to him about this he tells me I need to just work more or make more money. He did have to help pay the rent a couple of times within the past year and believe me he let's me know. And the only reason I couldn't help was because I went through something big (I don't feel comfortable disclosing) which led me to being very sick and out of work for a while. Which he wasn't very nice to me during that time either.
Anger: He instantly gets pissed about everything and starts to yell. I have told him that yelling scares me and makes me shut down but he doesn't seem to care. I've never seen someone so angry all the time. He seriously hates everything.
Friends and family: He hates my mother. I mean hates her but before we dated he used to love her and my mom adored him. But since we have started dating he hates her. Every time we are around family or friends he doesn't like his body goes stiff. Like literally straightens up and he just stares forward not speaking. I've asked him about this and it goes nowhere. Now this guy knows how to socialize or at least pretend to be nice, he works in sales! But he makes no effort. It's so awkward and people have brought this to my attention because he makes them feel uncomfortable.
My mom even texted him over a year ago saying she wanted to mend their relationship cuz she could sense the hostility and he never responded to her text at all. He told me "I'm fine with how things are between me and your mom, I don't need to be her best friend." But it bothers me, she's my mom. Yes I've had to work at putting up boundaries with my mom but I will not cut her out of my life. I wish my boyfriend and mom could get along but I'm stuck in the middle doing damage control.
Also he views my friends (i have like 2 good friends) as low life's. He has made comments to me about how he wants me to hangout with rich people like the people he works with and whenever we hangout with his rich friends all they want to do is drink and tell stories that last 20 minutes and its just them bragging. There is no real substance to the relationships and I don't value that. But he eats it up.
Honestly, there is so much more that I can't even write down because it would take me days. The behavior he exhibits does not seem normal. I'm sick of hating waking up in the morning cuz I'm going to get yelled at for not washing all of his clothes or being given a list of chores to do. I'm defeated and feeling unvalued. Is it too much to ask for him to contribute to basic life stuff?

The question of whether French is difficult or easy to learn is a complex one. For some people, learning French comes naturally, while for others, it can be a challenging and frustrating process. In this article, we will explore the factors that make French a difficult or easy language to learn. Join the French Language Course in Pune

1. Pronunciation

French pronunciation can be difficult for non-native speakers, particularly when it comes to the many nasal sounds that are unique to the language. These sounds are not found in English, and it can take time to learn to distinguish between them and to produce them correctly. Additionally, French has a range of vowel sounds that can change the meaning of words, depending on how they are pronounced. For example, the words "beau" and "bureau" sound very similar but have different meanings (beautiful and office, respectively).

1. Grammar

French has a complex system of grammar that can be challenging for non-native speakers to master. French has a system of gender and agreement, which means that the gender of a noun affects the way adjectives and articles are used with it. French also has a system of verb conjugation that requires the speaker to memorize different endings depending on the subject and tense of the sentence. Additionally, French sentence structure can be quite different from English, with the verb often placed before the subject.

1. Vocabulary

French vocabulary can be both challenging and rewarding. French has a rich vocabulary that includes many words that are not found in English. French words often have multiple meanings, depending on the context in which they are used. This can make learning French vocabulary a challenging process. However, French also has many words that have been borrowed from other languages, such as English, Spanish, and Italian, which can make learning French vocabulary easier for speakers of those languages.

1. Pronunciation and Grammar Exceptions

One of the biggest challenges in learning French is the many exceptions to pronunciation and grammar rules. French is known for its many irregular verbs, which do not follow the standard verb conjugation rules. Additionally, many words in French are spelled the same but pronounced differently, adding to the confusion for learners. Join the French Language Classes in Pune

1. Spoken vs. Written French

Another challenge in learning French is the difference between spoken and written French. Spoken French can be quite different from written French, with many contractions and informal expressions that are not used in written French. This can make it difficult for learners to understand native French speakers and to produce natural-sounding French themselves.

1. Cultural Differences

Finally, learning French can be challenging due to cultural differences between French-speaking countries and the learner's own culture. French culture has its own unique customs and social norms that may be different from those of the learner's culture. This can create additional challenges in learning to communicate effectively in French.
Despite these challenges, many people find French to be an easy language to learn. French pronunciation may be difficult, but the language has a regular system of pronunciation rules that can be learned with practice. Additionally, French vocabulary may be challenging, but many cognates in English and other languages can make learning French vocabulary easier.
Moreover, the French have a strong presence in popular cultures, such as music, film, and literature. This makes it easier for learners to immerse themselves in the language and to find engaging resources for practicing and improving their French skills. Join the French Language Training in Pune
In conclusion, whether French is difficult or easy to learn depends on a variety of factors, including the learner's native language, their learning style, and their exposure to French culture and language resources. While there are certainly challenges to learning French, with dedication and practice, anyone can become proficient in this beautiful and rewarding language.

HI all.
So a client of mine is running some PolyCom VVX 410 phones. The in-wall cabling is unknown, n ot installed by me that is, but generally "works". However, I have one jack where if we plug the other end to a port on the MS120-8LP, the phone gets power, but does not get any signal, or let's just say it won't get "on the Internet". So it's menus come up etc., but nothing fed from the cloud-based phone system.
However if I plug this into Port 11 on the MX65 (11 and 12 are PoE ports), it works fine. Moved the phone back and forth a couple times to get consistency, it's stable, always doesn't work on the MS120.
I do plan to do other standard troubleshooting stuff such as trying other phones, ohter cables, etc., but just on the face of it, the very same cable in the network closet when plugged into the MS120 will not work, but works perfectly if plugged to the MX65. any thoughts? Maybe some kind of TIA-568B vs. A thing perhaps? *shrug*

Man yesterday was fun. Food was good (lines a bit long but whadda ya going to do), beer was hitting just right, and Galactic was great.
Bathroom lines were way too long, and I mean way too long. I think they had 12 porta pottas total?
But hey it was fun, music was free and the fam had a great time!

I quit taking the Pill about 3 years ago after being on it for over 12 years. I think since then my anxiety/PCOS symptoms in general have gotten worse. Right now I am going through some of the worst anxiety I've ever had. I started therapy and have had 2 appointments so far. Last week I learned a little about CBT, and some of those strategies have helped a little bit, but my anxiety hasn't been immediately cured overnight and it is a real struggle to try to keep your mind in the right headspace when it wants to just go spiraling out of control every day. My therapist does not think I am at the point where I need medication, and I really don't want to go on medication, but I guess I just want to vent that it is so exhausting every day to feel like garbage when I just want to feel normal again. I started going for a 20 minute walk at least every day, and I'm trying to make sure I'm eating 3 meals a day and things like that. Right now it's hard because I'm trying to get out of my house and do normal things and get back to my daily routine, but at the same time my anxiety makes me want to do nothing except basically go sit down on my couch or in bed and watch TV or something.
I am also looking for a new dr, but the one I really want to see currently has a waitlist to get in as a new patient and it could be up to 5 months before I get an appointment. I go to see my PCP in 2 weeks, but it's more so for an annual checkup.

A while back I was gifted a pre-built to replace my broken laptop, I have the exact product on a link but I don't know if it would break rule 5, so I'll just list the specs:

• Ryzen 5 5500
• AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT
• 8GB ram (I don't remember the exact brand, but it says that its DDR4 SDRAM on the site)

I don't know if anything else would need to be listed here, but if needed I can find more.
It worked perfectly fine with zero issues, I even upgraded the ram to 32GB Corsair sticks. I never had any issues of any sort. Recently, however, I upgraded the GPU to an ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 V2 OC Edition 12GB. It works great, but every now and then or after a longer gaming session, something weird happens.
Both of my monitors shut off, but all of the lights inside of the PC stay on. I can't tell what's going on beyond this, if its closing things or not. Whenever this happens, all I have to do is hold the power button to make it turn off, then turn it back on. After this everything goes back to 100% normal.
It has happened 3 times so far, and each game I'm about to list I used the GeForce Experience "optimize" feature on:

• Metro Exodus: Playing the game pretty normally, something to note is that the level I was in had a lot of foliage to load in.
• Ghost Recon Wildlands: Nothing special here, after ~1 hour of playing it did its thing
• Monster Hunter World: Played fine for 2-3 hours, but once i closed the game it did the thing

My first theory was that the GPU was overheating, but looking around it says that for it to overheat it needs to hit over 80C, which I'm almost certain it isn't. My second theory was that it was a weak power supply, but checking the product info says that the supply is 600 watts, which should be enough to handle the GPU, unless I'm mistaken? I could definitely be wrong about these two things not being the issue, but I'm not a very tech-inclined girl and wouldn't be able to tell.
Any recommendations/help/ways to possibly troubleshoot this would be super appreciated!

I recently lost out on the h1 lottery and to make things worse my company has just decided to let me go along with a few others as they were really tight on budget for certain teams. It was my final chance at the lottery so looking for Day 1 Cpt Options and also looking at new jobs (I know it's a tough time to get a new job but it is what it is). Has anyone here applied for new full-time jobs on Day 1 CPT? If yes so how do you respond to the recruiter's questions about visa validity, status, etc? Considering Day 1 CPT is tough to explain to recruiters.
Any help is really appreciated in these trying times.
