Joe's place geneva on the lake

Mario Kart is a staple of the video game industry where you take beloved characters and enlarge their heads a bit and put them on go-karts and have them race around thrilling and bizarre tracks. They invented it, but there is a tradition of other characters doing it, you have Crash Bandicoot Racing and Sonic Racing and even Diddy Kong Racing.
What these have in common is they are video game characters. But, why not start a trend of using characters from niche but well-made television shows that probably won't get another season but could get a racing game instead?
You could play as Gus, Mickey, Bertie, Chris, Randy (with the mushroom attack), Dr. Greg, Arya, the rude writers, Allan & Frank, that guy at the gas station that didn't want Mickey to steal coffee, and obviously Andy Dick.
In season 3, I kind of felt like they were hinting at the continuation of this series in the form of a racing game where Gus enabled Road Rage power and side swiped a vehicle.
In the game, they could continue this storyline, and the races could take place all over Los Angeles. Not since the whirlwind rollercoaster of Mickey and Gus's relationship have you seen such a topsy turvy fast paced adventure.
You might be thinking, "It shouldn't work." But then, neither should Gus and Mickey. And yet they do. Kind of.
So, why not continue the story in a Love racing video game? If it does well enough, it might turn new people onto the show, and maybe one day we'll get season 4 that continues the story of the show and plot elements introduced in the racing game.
If anyone who worked on the show ever peruses this subreddit please submit this idea to the Netflix Video Game Department, I gift it for free.

I know next to nothing about welding, I want to get started before going into a school (tech-voc w/ welding class) and as a hobby as well, along with fabrication for my motorcycle.
Yesterday I have bought a 315amp inverter MMA, and 55 sticks of 6013. Any advice on how I should do? PPE is complete as well, along with equipment. This is the first place I thought of to go to ask about this as it is a widely used social media platform.

i just started a new workplace a month ago.
i come from fine dining Michelin star background where it is very strict and workplaces very toxic.
i decided to change jobs to a more chilled place. this place is perfect.
everyone is great. the people are really nice and chilled. no one has attitudes.
the head chef is also a super chilled dude.
everyone moves fast during prep and service but during closing. everyone moves like a turtle. i am not joking.
i timed how long it took for someone to clean the floor. from Start to finish. 30-40 minutes just to help hose the floor down and it's a tiny kitchen.
head chef never says anything. he is super chilled and super positive dude. he never says anything bad and tries to give a positive environment.
i notice that as long you don't do something really stupid like send out raw chicken. head chef never says anything bad.
the issue is i never worked somewhere where everyone acts like they don't want to go home and moves like tortoise during closing.
for those of you suggesting i " help"
on my first week i cleaned on the speed other places expect you to. i ended up doing everything from the floor.. including helping the dishie do the dishes. changed all the bins etc and I realized i was doing 90% of the cleaning because i was the only one actually moving.
i have since decided to close at everyone else's pace which is tortoise pace but it pisses me off because we go 1-2 hours over time and i don't get paid for staying back because everyone else is so damn slow.
help. any suggestions on how to fix??

I female 17 have known one of my best friends jack 16 (fake name) for about a year and a half. We met because we have a couple mutual friends but mainly because we had a class together sophomore year. The class was great and we were all having fun. Jack asked me to sophomore prom and I said yes because at the time me and him were really close. later I found out that he liked me and I just never said anything about it because I didn't care. fast forward to September of last year the summer had gone by and I hadn't hung out with them once because I got very busy. we decided to hang out and then there was this incident where we ended up cuddling on his basement couch at the time I liked someone else and I wasn't planning on cuddling with him it just kinda happened. he then proceeded to ask me out and I lied to him because I didn't want to ruin our friendship mind you we are in the same friend group and I didn't want things to be awkward between anyone and I like this other boy. fast-forward a couple of months and we are all hanging out and this other girl wants to go to the mall I don't care for the mall but she really wanted to go so we went. none of us thought this would cause any drama but oh were we wrong at the mall I got food cause I was getting hangry and it was just me and this girl and she proceeded to tell me everything he was saying about me including the following "bitch, whore, 2 faced piece of shit" and so on and so forth so now I'm mad but im the type of person to believe everything im told so I went to a mutual and asked and they all said she was lying. at this point I don't care and I leave I was so upset I didn't talk to them for a month cause I didn't know what to do fast forward to DecembeJanuary we started to hang out every day and I caught feelings and we began to talk except when we came to this night where we were all messing around and I kissed more like pecked one of our friends lets call him Joe. Joe and I are very close I thought nothing of it because he is just a friend and we were all messing around looking back at it I do admit I was in the wrong for that because I can see how he might I have felt but this is where I get confused and upset. after that he proceeded to look at me tell me he likes me and I told him I liked him too I thought we already knew this but whatever, he then doesn't say anything about the kiss and I go home with him after school we hang out and were cuddling then I leave to go to a basketball game when I get back to his house he is there cuddling with another girl normally I wouldn't care seeing as the couch is so small we all cuddle anyways but she was fully on top of him cuddling with him at this point everyone is uncomfortable and they all leave around 10 so It is just me and him I asked him if he liked her and he strait up said no me being me just said okay. fast forward to the Super Bowl Sunday and I have been told that him and her have been hanging out and making the friend group more uncountable I'm very confused so I texted him and asked if they were a thing he said no so I was confused when the next day they were cuddling again and being very flirty I texted him that night and basically called him an asshole because if he and her were a thing why didn't he just tell me not lie to me multiple times and he said he and her are talking after that I got super sick and just didn't see them for about a week when we hung out after that is was very awkward. it is about a month later and I could care less that they were dating however all he ever brings up now is that I can't be mad cause I kissed Joe but we have told him it was just a joke and I have apologized multiple times. he is now holding it against me then upset that I am mad at him am I the asshole for being mad.

So ill try keep this as short as possible (its a long story). I decided to separate from my wife at the beginning of the year. I am in the armed forces in the UK and we were based about 500miles from our home. Her first initial reaction was that she wanted to quit her job, take our 2 small children and move in with her parents (who live near our home far away) I asked her to stay but she wanted to be with her "support network". She also originally wanted to move into our joint home with me to pay the full mortgage and bills indefinitely, regardless of her own income/job status. I managed to convince her to stay for a few months while I tried to get a transfer. I got a transfer approved (at some detriment to my career) and she quit her job and moved in with her folks a month before I transferred. Solicitors letters started getting sent to get the ball rolling on our custody, assets etc. It was agreed originally verbally that I would have the children 3 nights a week when I transferred, the closest thing to 50/50 I can manage on a shift pattern. Annual leave would likely bring this avg up anyways.
2 weeks after she moved she started complaining about income and wanting child maintenance. I did a child maint calculator online and offered her the full amount based on 3nights a week. She was unsatisfied by this and asked me to add my half of the rental income we get for renting out our house. I called the child maint service and they said its only profit (if any) that gets added to this. I added the profit (even though its not declared) and the amount went up by £5 per month. I paid her and she was still unsatisfied. All of a sudden she decides that my military accommodation (which consists of an en suite room bigger than a hotel room with 2 double beds, kitchen area and separate bathroom) is unsuitable for the children to stay in and that the 3 nights a week will not be granted. Instead I am to have the children every second weekend with 2 "non-residential periods" during the week with no overnight stays during the week during school term since "this will be disruptive to their routine and therefore their education" and that "child maintenance is to be reassessed based on this". I went to the child maint service myself and said that I believe that this was a power move to get more money from me by using the kids. They said that the default is to pay the cost of 1 overnight stay per week if there is a dispute. turns out she contacted them and asked for them to charge me to the avg of 0 overnight stays per night! Until a court order or separation agreement is in place, 1 night per week is the rate I have to pay by order of the Child Maint Service.
I just want to see my kids as much as possible, my lawyer has asked her to provide assurance that I will have the kids 3 nights a week if I stay somewhere else but so far 2 letters have been ignored by her and her solicitor with only offers on the financial side of the separation (splitting on my pension, savings and buying out of the house). I would have taken her to court by now but my solicitor suggested doing some negotiations through letters first since she is completely unwilling to negotiate or discuss the matter in person or over text. Phrases have been thrown around by her like "i am their legal guardian" "it's not my fault" "you chose this" and "i will not be bullied by you" whenever i question her decision or motives. Now I am on deployment for 4 months since December and her lawyer still sent a letter in December asking me to buy or sell the house. My lawyer replied saying i am on deployment so nothing can be done but a childcare agreement would also have to be in place. 2 months passed and its clear my ex is under pressure from her parents and the rising mortgage for something to change, her lawyer sent another letter saying that I am being obstructive and that it may escalate to a court order to force the sale of the house. So we replied saying I'll buy the house but when I move in I want the children 3 nights a week + holidays....its been 4 weeks and still nothing back. In addition I return home next week and I asked to have the kids for 2 weeks. But this was denied. I was told I could only have them for 1 week despite being gone 4 months over Christmas.
This is more of a rant than an ask for help as I know I should just do the whole court thing but has anyone got any other suggestions/advice/warnings?

I recently got ds3 for the ps4 and whenever I try to let it finish the installation it crashes then gets stuck at 47%. I've deleted in multiple times and looked around to see if there was a solution but couldn't find one. Just wanted to know if I'm completely screwed and should give up or if there a way I could possibly fix it. Sorry if this isn't exactly on topic just thought this was the best place to ask.

I’ve been operating at 110% for a while now. A good while. I’ve got a husband and 3 kids, and my life is utterly relentless. I am not my own individual self anymore. I basically exist to serve everyone else. I do every damn thing. Yes there is a man that lives here that “helps” but how helpful is it when I have to constantly tell the man what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, how to do it, when the kids need something, what time their appointments are, etc. I have 2 toddlers and 1 preteen. My house is akin to a zoo on crack. There’s lights on all day, because the man that lives here doesn’t seem to know how to turn off a light, the toddlers don’t nap anymore, and they are always hungry but never seem to take more than 2 bites of food, my preteen rolls her eyes at everything, husband works nights and can somehow sleep through every thing and I wouldn’t be surprised if he slept right through a tornado. My home is no longer my sanctuary because it’s become a place of high stress. I am literally on my feet from 6am to 10pm with my only break being the job I work at. I work full time and get to spend my 2 days off doing everything my husband just disregards all week, such as the grocery shopping (his idea of grocery shopping is buying enough food ingredients for ONE meal), the cleaning (he hasn’t cleaned the bathtub in 2 months, I’ve counted), and rest of boring things like washing the car, taking out trash, and spending some time with the kids. So basically I have no days off.
I cried to myself in my room on Monday night. Here is everything I did on that day from sun up to sun down:
6am: woke up for work 7am: went outside to warm up my car and take all the bags to it (lunch bags, diaper bag, purse) 7:30am: dropped off kids to MIL house/school for the day 8am: stopped by a breakfast joint and got myself food 8:30-5pm: work 5:15pm: arrive home 5:30pm: cook dinneeat/feed kids 6:30-7pm: clean up toys/prepare for bath time 7:15-8:15pm: bath time/dressed for bed (because I have to do 2 toddlers) 8:15-8:45pm: pack their lunches, pack my lunch, pack their clothes for tomorrow. 8:50-9ish: brush toddlers teeth, brush my teeth 9:15-9:30: read bedtime stories to toddlers - husband leaves for work 10:00pm: when toddlers are finally tired enough to fall asleep
My husband’s daily schedule:
7:00am: arrive home from work 7:30-3:00pm: sleep 3:45-4pm: picks up kids (Proceeds to spend an hour at his mom’s house) 5:00pm: arrives home, possibly wash the dishes 5:30-7pm: does nothing but watch tv 7pm-9:20pm: takes a pre-work nap 9:30-9:45pm: leaves for work
Do you guys see the disparity or is it just me?? So because I walk around like a zombie all week long with a slight attitude, husband claims he has no idea why I’ve become the way I am. I’m dead inside. My legs burn at the end of the night. I’m sad for myself. I don’t feel like a wife, I feel like an unpaid maid and nanny. I don’t even get a thank you or just a hug. I’m breaking down slowly inside but I keep going because I have to, I love my kids. I’ve tried bringing ALL this up to the man who lives here but it falls each time on deaf ears. He has no empathy or understanding of my feelings. I’ve given up.
If you’ve gotten this far, I appreciate you for reading. It felt good getting this out.
TLDR: My husband is basically a roommate and I’m over it.

The world of book publishing has evolved significantly over the past decade. With the rise of digital platforms and the increasing accessibility of self-publishing services, more and more authors are choosing to take control of their own publishing journey. However, the self-publishing landscape can be confusing, with different options and services available. In this blog post, we will explore the differences between self-publishing and print-on-demand services, and help you decide which option is best for you.
Self-Publishing:
Self-publishing is the process of publishing a book without the involvement of a traditional publishing company. This means that the author is responsible for everything from writing and editing to formatting and distribution.

Some of the most popular self-publishing companies include Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing, Smashwords, and Draft2Digital. These companies offer free publishing sites and tools that make it easy for authors to self-publish their books on various digital platforms, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo.
Print on Demand:
Print on Demand (POD) is a type of book publishing companies that allows authors to print and distribute physical copies of their books on an as-needed basis. This means that books are only printed when a customer places an order, eliminating the need for large print runs and the associated costs. POD services also offer distribution services, making it easy for authors to sell their books online and in physical bookstores.
The best print on demand companies offer a variety of services, including printing, distribution, and marketing. Some of the most popular print on demand companies include IngramSpark, Lulu, and Blurb.

So, which option is best for you?

If you are looking for free publishing sites complete creative control over your work and want to earn a higher percentage of royalties, then self-publishing may be the best option for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more traditional publishing experience and want to have physical copies of your book available for sale, then print on demand may be the better choice.
In conclusion, self-publishing how to self publishing a book , steps to self publishing a book and print on demand are both viable publishing companies options for authors looking to publish their own books. The best self-publishing companies and platforms, as well as print on demand services, offer a range of tools and services to help authors achieve their goals. Whether you choose to self-publish or use a print on demand service, it's important to do your research and find the option that works best for you.

I'm unsure if I can post an experience of mine here and ask for assistance, but I hope at the very least I can be pointed in the right direction.
I've been smoking steadily for about 2 years now. I occasionally would enjoy edibles and the like. Overall I never had a bad experience with weed, and used it a lot medicinally for my Fibromyalgia. About 6 days ago, though, it was like a switch flipped. I'll be honest, I may have over-indulged a bit, but it was the absolute worst. I'd been smoking all that day, just chilling on my day off. I take my last puff of the night and head to bed. Slowly my heart starts to race, nausea sets in, and I feel a rising in my chest. For the next 3-4 hours I spent hovering over the toilet, getting in the shower and still peeking my head out if needed. My head was all over the place, I was exhausted, and my whole body was shaking. I never actually puked though, I just felt like I had to. I ended up passing out from exhaustion and waking up the next day feeling like dogshit. I went to Urgent Care where they told me I was okay and likely experienced a panic attack. I have anxiety but thc actually tended to help it, not hurt it. The next day, I reluctantly tried to smoke, and the same thing happened again. Heart racing, chest rising, head foggy, more than usual and certainly very unpleasant. I barely even felt the "high", it was just a shitty, uncomfortable experience. I paused some pain meds I was taking for fibro just to see if maybe it was some odd reaction, even though I'd been taking them for 4 weeks at this point. Now, today about 4 days later, I tried to have my after work joint, and the same thing happened again, and I was in pain this time.
I just don't know why there was such a sudden shift. One hit, I was okay. The next hit knocked me down to the ground. At least I know the source and to stay away from it, but I'm just sad, honestly. I'm still unsure if this whole thing is actually CHS, other accounts of it seem much more severe than mine. If it is, though, I want to know how long it takes to recover from it, and also if CBD would still effect me in a similar way.

Outsource Non-Core Functions

Outsourcing is another effective way to streamline your small business operations and reduce your workload. By outsourcing non-core functions, such as human resources, IT, customer support, and accounting, you can free up your time and focus on your core business activities. Outsourcing can also help you save money by reducing your overhead costs and avoiding the need to hire additional staff. When outsourcing, it's essential to choose reliable and trustworthy partners who can provide high-quality services at a reasonable cost.

This flexibility allows you to work remotely, collaborate with your team members, and provide better customer service. Cloud-based technology also provides secure and scalable storage solutions, reducing the need for expensive on-premises hardware and software.

To keep this as short as possible, my dad has struggled with alcohol and addiction almost my whole life. Growing up I was a daddy’s girl until about nine when he left my mother. I would later find out that he had gotten into hard drugs and that was why he left. Our house was foreclosed shortly after since my mom was a stay-at-home and had me as a teen so never really worked before. We ended up on welfare, being evicted one place after another because we couldn’t stay afloat. He never paid any child support or helped.
We would visit my dad odd weekends but it was always awkward because he lived with my grandparents and half the time he’d just dump us with them and go out to do god knows what. And if he was around he was restless and antsy, and I always knew why and would spend the weekend trying to distract and keep my little brother from catching on. Eventually these visits stopped altogether in my early teens and he moved about six hours away.
Fast forward through the years, I’d hear from him once in a blue moon. Usually because he was having a moment of clarity or had just gotten out of a detox. But there’d never be any follow-up and he’d disappear for a year or two again.
I was never really angry, just sad. I felt bad for him suffering from addiction and never really blamed him persay. I made excuses that it had been so long it was awkward now to make sustained meaningful contact. Or that if proximity wasn’t an issue maybe I’d see him more.
I’m 36 now and he reinitiated contact about two years ago when his father, my grandfather passed. That was the day that I found out he had been living less than a half hour away for the previous five years. Then I got angry. I didn’t say anything but I decided then that I was finally over it. Clearly this man didn’t care to really have me (or my brother) in his life.
Since I was about fifteen, he had a gf. She was okay. Sober, super AA type which I always found confusing since he’s always been in and out of his addiction and she’s always been clean. She would reach out to me over the years here and there. Wishing me merry Christmas, happy birthday, etc. Nice lady. And my dad loooves her. She’s the only person he has left in the world at this point. All his other bridges have been burned.
And she just died suddenly.
Now he’s allll alone. Has no one. Pushing 60 with a body that’s failing him after years of abuse. My dad is not a bad person. He’s actually a really nice and hilarious guy. Just always troubled and not a very good dad. He’s in emotional turmoil and I feel so bad for him. Since we made contact two years ago we haven’t met up, but he has consistently been texting me since even when I don’t respond. It’s the most sustained contact I’ve had with him since I was a kid. He’s been clean for a few years now.
I’m conflicted. Part of me wants to let bygones be bygones and be there for him in this time of need because I know he has no one else. But the other part is scared to let this man into my life. I just don’t know what to do.
So much for keeping this short. TLDR: absent addict dad’s long time gf has passed away and he is now all alone.

I’ve been operating at 110% for a while now. A good while. I’ve got a husband and 3 kids, and my life is utterly relentless. I am not my own individual self anymore. I basically exist to serve everyone else. I do every damn thing. Yes there is a man that lives here that “helps” but how helpful is it when I have to constantly tell the man what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, how to do it, when the kids need something, what time their appointments are, etc. I have 2 toddlers and 1 preteen. My house is akin to a zoo on crack. There’s lights on all day, because the man that lives here doesn’t seem to know how to turn off a light, the toddlers don’t nap anymore, and they are always hungry but never seem to take more than 2 bites of food, my preteen rolls her eyes at everything, husband works nights and can somehow sleep through every thing and I wouldn’t be surprised if he slept right through a tornado. My home is no longer my sanctuary because it’s become a place of high stress. I am literally on my feet from 6am to 10pm with my only break being the job I work at. I work full time and get to spend my 2 days off doing everything my husband just disregards all week, such as the grocery shopping (his idea of grocery shopping is buying enough food ingredients for ONE meal), the cleaning (he hasn’t cleaned the bathtub in 2 months, I’ve counted), and rest of boring things like washing the car, taking out trash, and spending some time with the kids. So basically I have no days off.
I cried to myself in my room on Monday night. Here is everything I did on that day from sun up to sun down:
6am: woke up for work 7am: went outside to warm up my car and take all the bags to it (lunch bags, diaper bag, purse) 7:30am: dropped off kids to MIL house/school for the day 8am: stopped by a breakfast joint and got myself food 8:30-5pm: work 5:15pm: arrive home 5:30pm: cook dinneeat/feed kids 6:30-7pm: clean up toys/prepare for bath time 7:15-8:15pm: bath time/dressed for bed (because I have to do 2 toddlers) 8:15-8:45pm: pack their lunches, pack my lunch, pack their clothes for tomorrow. 8:50-9ish: brush toddlers teeth, brush my teeth 9:15-9:30: read bedtime stories to toddlers - husband leaves for work 10:00pm: when toddlers are finally tired enough to fall asleep
My husband’s daily schedule:
7:00am: arrive home from work 7:30-3:00pm: sleep 3:45-4pm: picks up kids (Proceeds to spend an hour at his mom’s house) 5:00pm: arrives home, possibly wash the dishes 5:30-7pm: does nothing but watch tv 7pm-9:20pm: takes a pre-work nap 9:30-9:45pm: leaves for work
Do you guys see the disparity or is it just me?? So because I walk around like a zombie all week long with a slight attitude, husband claims he has no idea why I’ve become the way I am. I’m dead inside. My legs burn at the end of the night. I’m sad for myself. I don’t feel like a wife, I feel like an unpaid maid and nanny. I don’t even get a thank you or just a hug. I’m breaking down slowly inside but I keep going because I have to, I love my kids. I’ve tried bringing ALL this up to the man who lives here but it falls each time on deaf ears. He has no empathy or understanding of my feelings. I’ve given up.
If you’ve gotten this far, I appreciate you for reading. It felt good getting this out.
TLDR: My husband is basically a roommate and I’m over it.

TLDR: Is it possible to switch outputs on a projector and always have sound come out of sound bar?
I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, since my question has so many parts, but here goes. I have a computer and a fire stick that I access via a Vava projector. I have an LG soundbar plugged into Input 1 of the projector. The current setup is: Vava Input 1 > HDMI OUT (eARC on soundbar) with Fire Stick plugged into HDMI IN on soundbar so that I get Atmos Vava Input 2 > computer
Due to that setup, the only sound option for my computer is the projector's sound, which isn't awful, but I bought the soundbar for a reason. I bought a splitter, but either I'm not connecting it correctly or it's not feasible to put a splitter on the HDMI IN port? All I want is when I switch inputs, for my sound to always come out of the soundbar. Is that possible? I've tried every configuration I can think of to no avail. I was thinking my issue was because I have a 1 in, 2 out splitter when I need a 2 in, 1 out, but that almost sounded too easy.

Hi and thanks in advance,
trying to remember the name of a manga that took place in a highschool, kinda a comedy/slice of life from what i remember.
premise was that the male mc was putting on a fake “personality” for his class as a popular model student but in reality was kinda an asshole/mean/kinda opposite from what he pretends to be (from what I remember).
ends up slipping up and shows his true self in-front of female mc and it goes on to be their little secret.
not sure if this was a plot point from this manga or another, but some other popular girl in the class liked the male mc so she started to bully the female mc. leading the male mc to step in and put a end to it.
other important info was that this manga had a spin off series (or this one is the spin off) of the male mc parents falling in love at work, or their day to day lives as a couple before having their son. the wife had a cold personally if i remember correctly
thank you!
