Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Usually. This is a short story of where smoke didn't come from fire, but from friction and burnout. In the background is the famed RotaScript engine. In the foreground is the suffering of the people who made it.
You must imagine the clones happy. Not from their heads, not from their drugs, but from their own lives. In this case, there were five: Jalal 29, Miracle 3281, Berbanz 198, and Caspar and Shikhs, who chose their own names. They were engineers of various stripes, two Happies, two Specials, a Biggie who ascended from fabrication duties. They were part of a station 'problem solving pod' who solved medium to long term problems that involved complex thinking and challenging issues. Sometimes, these pods were tapped to develop new technologies.
Sometimes, they would do this on their own. Specials were smart, when cultivated and allowed to be. Happies could be creative. Biggies continually surprised; their prank wars took on characteristics of military operations. One day, watching the space air ripple around a new radiator after some unknown quirk of the cluster played with one's expectations, Jalal 29 asked Miracle 3281 why the space air didn't burn. Miracle didn't have an answer, other than 'it doesn't', and they really didn't like that. They resolved to get an answer.
After a week, they didn’t have an answer, but they did have some experiments run, some more planned, and a realization that the G.U.S.S knew very, very little about the space air. By accident, they had become an astrochemist, and were prescribed antidepressants. They continued their work, and took a second week to draw some very nice looking charts. These charts showed when things caught on fire, comparing a number of factors. It also showed that space air normally didn’t catch on fire, ever. This was a good explanation for Jalal, but then Shikhs floated in, as one does in zero gravity, and asked why they didn’t change those circumstances to light it on fire.
Both of them cursed him bitterly for being an engineer, and then did some back of the envelope calculations on how to do that. It would take magic to right, magic that they couldn’t really do themselves–but Berbanz was a handimage with two decades of experience, and Caspar had a vague idea how runes worked. It took them little convincing to make them want nothing to do with the project, but some trades of contraband and an assembly of a special fireproofing chamber brought them around. After the stationmaster signed off, the group began to design the space for the reaction and the rune activation sequences.
This turned out to be fiendishly hard. Clone runes are a young alphabet. Not all parts are known, nor do all parts work well with each other–some even cancel out or cause cross-script interference known as ‘ringing’ that often gave mages painful audito-like effects. They can only be energized as part of a working magitech component at certain points, making miniaturization a pain. This made the clones decide to go big.
The first time that they achieved fire, they used a strip of runes that had been welded into a muffler. This caused an explosion, which is very dangerous on a space station, and despite their cluster-beating results, the stationmaster chewed them out in front of half the crew. In addition to sporting personal injuries, the master’s harsh words took a toll on the team’s morale, as did the punishment cleanup and repair assignments. Still, they talked about the next form that their work should take. They knew that the principle worked. They had made fire! Now they needed a flame, and ideally one that didn’t explode. The problem, it seemed to be, was running all of the runes in a normal spell; they didn’t play nice.
Caspar’s idea was to run the runes one at a time, just very very quickly. This was to prevent their ‘areas of effect’ from running into each other, which was something that they only knew a little about. Miracle suggested turning them off and on very quickly, and Berbanz got on him about that rather viciously; suggesting that it would be a miracle if he shut up. Berbanz then went for a float, kicking things, and whacked his shin on an internal combustion engine that hadn’t been scrapped yet.
An internal combustion engine with exposed pistons.
The idea flowed very quickly after that. Each rune would be mounted on a ‘piston’, and moved in and out of the ignition chamber quickly enough to not interfere with the other. Switching times could be disregarded as long as the rune’s area of manifest didn’t run into each other. Shihks ended up taking on most of the optimization duties, smacking his thumbs and fiddling with gearboxes, and Miracle designed and implemented the fuel and air injectors. A night’s electric refusal to sleep gave them some pipe type optimization ideas, which were translated into concrete advances in making an engine block that would stand up to combustion’s strains much better.
In four weeks, they had a working engine. Combusting a variety of fuels, it was tested in a safety pod outdoors and generated viable thrust for vehicles like shuttles, crewships, and multipurpose utility vehicles. The reaction was electric: a new technology! One with a breakthrough in physics, no less! Clones had done it–clones could do it! They were advanced now! The sky was the limit! An internal combustion engine was only the start–now they were going to go for a turbine, synching runes with blades!
This was a bad idea. Anyone looking at the original team could see that–they were exhausted, pushed past their limits, and unable to explain much of what happened in the device. Too many questions still went unanswered, and the newly assembled research team rushed into experimentation. In a wide workshop converted from a vehicle factory, they employed hydraulic presses to fabricate runes and mated them to a working device. The external firing chamber was even stronger than the previous designs, made of cast steel and lined with a smooth protective layer of refractory brick–it wasn’t optimal, but it was effective. Rune power strength was monitored with implanted e-meter elements. On the surface, things were looking up.
Of course, this didn’t end well. When the turbine was activated, there was a bright white flash, and an explosion that emptied the room and killed everyone into it. The device itself was launched three kilometers in a ballistic trajectory, and struck a peasant’s cattlepen. On impact, the methane in the bovine’s digestive tracts somehow detonated. The final casualty count was 42 dead, and 139 wounded. This was a significant setback; core self trained engineers and experts were dead or wounded, and nearly all progress on making the device had been lost.
Reports would indicate that a lack of computational and core mathematics understanding lead to an inability to understand the dynamics of the runes. (1) But they did not describe Miracle’s wailing as more and more names came back from the hospital, nor Berbanz’ idle wish that he’d been bolted at day 4 instead of spared and nursed to health. It was clear to everyone that they had been playing with forces beyond their control, and they had no idea how to comprehend them. Even while engines that burnt space air were made to purr, it became obvious that they were yet another black box, another mystery that they didn’t comprehend.
The more things that changed, the more things stayed the same.
If the clones had access to FTL computing, especially a mechanical device that could have interfaced directly with the turbine, this wouldn’t have happened.

I have had crippling OCD my whole life. I'm about 40 years old now. I'm reading many posts here from younger people and I see so many of you in crisis or having a difficult time. I will share some coping mechanisms which have helped me.
Please note: I write "coping" and "helped" deliberately. This is not something that ever goes away. I remember early on trying to "fight it". It works for a time, but often it comes back with a vengeance, leading to a sort of "rebound effect" where we end up floating from crisis to crisis.
One of the best things I've learned about it, is to cope. Just try and do your best. In my younger days I used to think "I'm just going to do this one more thing, then I'm going to be finished this forever, and I'll never do anything OCD related, and everything will be great". It never happened. It never will happen. The OCD is a part of you. I believe it represents a sort of Wounded Inner Child, which is a part of you. Attacking it, punishing it, berating it, getting angry at it, is not going to help. It needs compassion, love, understanding. Why does it feel the need to act this way? What is it trying to express? What does it need?
Talk to you OCD as though it were your friend, not your enemy. Your friend is maybe in pain right now, how can you help them?
Here are some of my coping mechanisms:

1. Exercise. I think this one is key. I know we've all heard it before, but it is really true. My problematic OCD symptoms seem less after a workout. I usually do jogging or another form of cardio (or team sports). Sweating seems to be the key.
   
2. B Vitamins. I don't have any data on this, but I remember the first time I took a B vitamin complex. I felt much more lucid and more in control of my thoughts. All vitamin supplements seem to have helped, C, D and Magnesium for example. But the B vitamin complex really was the one which helped. You can buy them for cheap in a pharmacy. Much healthier for you than antidepressants or other pharmaceutical medication.
   
3. Vegetables. I'm eating tons of vegetables these days. Leafy greens, broccoli, peppers, green beans. I'm not a crazy nutrition freak about it, but like for example if I get a combo at a fast food restaurant I'll get salad instead of fries. Lots of simple carbs seems to trigger unwanted symptoms. I have experimented personally a great deal with this. Simple carbs increase unwanted symptoms, while complex carbs and fiber (vegetables) have helped to alleviate symptoms.
   
4. Meditation. Now I don't really know anything about meditation. But one technique I've learned is to sit in a dark room, close your eyes and start deep breathing. Then invite that little voice inside of you, the one compelling you to do rituals, and invite it to sit with you. In front of you, beside you, doesn't matter. What does it look like? Is it a green monster? Or is it a scared child? Whatever it is, invite it outside of you to sit with you, and talk with it. Ask it: What do you want? And What do you need? I have had extremely surprising results with this. The voice suddenly answers back, and it's not what you might expect. It can be quite revealing.
   
5. Tai Chi. Again, I know almost nothing about this. I've just put on YouTube channels and followed that, paying close attention to breathing. It helps.
   
6. Journaling. I journal like an addict at this point. Pen and paper, not your computer. It is incredible what comes out. Write down how you are feeling at the moment. Just try and express it. Write down the ritual you are supposed to do, or what it is that is bothering you. Write it down in detail. Don't be afraid. Writing it down is like a talisman. Then read what you wrote. Go back a week later and read what you wrote (this is very therapeutic). You'll be surprised at the changes in your mood. You'll be surprised at what you reveal.
   
7. Playing a musical instrument. Not everyone can do this, but you can learn. Music has been extremely soothing for me. Writing my own music has been extremely soothing. Playing songs I love, like the Beatles, has been extremely soothing. For whatever reason, playing an instrument alleviates the symptoms.
   
8. Speaking another language. Again not everyone can do this, but again you can learn. Again for whatever reason, when I speak Spanish for example, I don't have as many symptoms. This could be because I grew up in an English speaking household, and somehow associate English with unwanted memories and hence OCD. Maybe? I don't know. But learning another language really helped me. I speak five languages now.
   
9. Learning something new. Similar to the musical instrument and learning languages. Creating new pathways in the brain helps. Instead of doing the same routine, learning something new.
   
10. Baths. Take a long hot bath. Put in bath salts or bubble bath. Close your eyes and soak in the darkness or candle light.
    

I hope this helps.
Remember, try not to fight yourself. I believe your OCD is a form of your Wounded Inner Child. If you had a child, and you knew your child was in pain, you would want to help it, wouldn't you? You would have compassion, and you would be patient and understanding with it. Try to take this approach with yourself.
Finally, last point. Try to find some humour in it. Instead of saying "I can't believe I'm still touching lines argh!!" say, "this is hilarious I'm touching these lines hahaha."
*I hope this helps. Good luck everyone. *

I am trying to record gameplay from the Wii. I have an Elgato HD60S. I believe I just need an AV to HDMI converter. Do you have any recommendations for the best one? I found a cheap one but it stretches the video to 16:9 instead of keeping it as 4:3. Any help is much appreciated.

My co-worker "Jim" and I were at a work trip. Next morning, we both grabbed coffee at the lobby, deciding to skip breakfast there, opting to find a coffee shop. Before we walked in, Jim tossed his coffee into the trash. I kept mine. We ordered a bunch of food! I love going out on business because we get a $80 bucks a day for food/drink and I always get to splurge. Always makes my day when I get to make another person's day, especially while not on my own dime, haha! Well.... I made a comment about why he ordered coffee, since we already had coffee when walking in. Jim was like "well I was a server and I just think it's rude to come into a dining area with another place's food and drink". I playfully laughed and asked why? First, he said, bringing in food and drink means you will likely NOT purchase said food or drink thereby lowering the bill and ultimately, tip. Second, It's annoying because the server needs to clean it up afterwards. Third, it was just "cheap" looking, lol! I was flabbergasted.
I ordered an empenada appetizer, a taco plate, OJ, for $30 dollars + $10tip. To me, that's a good breakfast amount! We weren't seriously arguing or anything like that. It was playful... and dare I say, bordering on flirtatious, lol.
Info: This was a WALK UP dinecoffee eatery, with option to pay at your table OR walk up to the cashier. They SERVED you, (no matter how you ordered it) but just once, it isn't like they continued to serve us by asking us if we were ok or needed more stuff. There was both plastic and non plastic utensils. This eatery was only two doors down from the hotel.

I got a few packs of bbq-spiced meat from my grocery at super cheap and froze. I've grilled some, baked others, and now I'm left with one pack of chicken breasts and no desire to grill nor bake. Any ideas on what to do with them?

So the title really simplifies everything so this will be long..if you dont want to read it all, I'll try to TL;DR at the end but if even one person reads all of this I will be FOREVER grateful to you..
​
My GF and I were together for 7 years, for the first 4 years of our relationship I worked 60-70 hours a week as a Microbiologist and she worked as a bartender at nights. We never saw each other and eventually we broke up, it was a confusing time in our mid twenties and we didn't know what we wanted. It was the worst month of my life. I quit my job, moved 2 hours back home with my parents and cried like a little baby for weeks. I did everything to work on myself...I read books, I worked out, and most importantly I gave her space..
​
Eventually we started hanging out again and then COVID happened. It shut everything down, including my search for new employment and her bartending job. She eventually asked me to be her boyfriend again and when we realized COVID wasn't ending anytime soon, we decided to move out of our apartment and in with her parents for awhile to save money. Everything was great minus the whole pandemic part.
​
We were both unemployed for most of that year, it was awful but at the same time we found a new appreciation for each other. We got close again, we saw each other more than we ever had and I would be a liar if I told you I didn't love every second of it. By the end of 2020, we both had part-time jobs and had moved into a new apartment that my father owned. It was nice and it was cheap and we were ecstatic. During this time, I paid for all of the bills...Electric, rent, internet, heat, etc because she had an extreme amount of student loans to pay for. We agreed to this and I was more than happy to provide us a stable life while we both figured out our next direction in life..
​
Year 3, this past year, came around and my GF had enough of working for other people. She took her 15 years of Bartending experience and decided to open a bar with her mom, who wanted to retire. We were ecstatic! I was going through a massive depressive spell because the area we lived in did not have labs for me to get a similar job to the one I had before and anything even remotely close to my previous job was over an hour commute, but it was okay because I could still afford our rent and our bills and life was okay, at least she discovered her dreams and we were going to make it happen.
​
This past year we spent HOURS upon HOURS a week renovating her new space for her bar. We poured our blood, sweat, and tears into the project with the help of her family. It was never my bar, but I was just as involved in the renovations and the moral support as anyone. To be honest? Even with only a part time job I had less time off this past year than I ever did working 60-70 hours a week. We got a brand new bar renovated, approved, and open within 8 months. Work began in April and we were open by the second week of November. As you can imagine, this took up a lot of our time and I wasn't as serious about applying to jobs as I once was. We had a roof over our head, food in our stomachs, and bills were paid for. It wasn't my end goal and I wasn't satisfied but it was enough for now. I even worked as a Bar Back in her bar for 2 months, a position I was never comfortable with but did anyway to help support her while we opened so she didnt over hire on a bunch of employees that she might not have been able to keep long term. I was fine with this. Again, even with a part time job, I had less time off than I ever had.
​
Once she became settled into the routine of operating the bar, my role in it was reduced. I took a step back. We had a lot of talks about wanting to move to the town she opened the bar in (it was appox. 30mins away from our apartment) and we wanted a house. She and I definitely discussed my lack of career for myself but it was always way more of me venting and being self conscious of not having that dream career yet. I was under the impression that my contributions to her dreams was a decent enough excuse for now. Of course, I didn't have the income to get approved for a house so the job search began. I would be lying if I said I didn't drag my feet a little bit. I was tired, still very much depressed, and constantly getting rejection letters from jobs in my field.
​
Fast forward to 3 weeks ago, dozens of rejection emails later, and an awful night of crying. She sat me down and told me she wasn't sure if I was as serious as her in moving forward with our lives. Said I had "missed the ultimatum deadline" that she had given me to get a job (there was no deadline and to this day I don't understand where this came from), I hadn't asked her to get married yet, I hadn't gotten the full time job, and enough was enough. She was moving back with her parents and needed a break. I was devastated and still am. If I knew this was coming, I would've taken a job as a fucking garbage man or literally anything. I, of course, was searching WAY too hard for the perfect job.. I knew this.. and I only applied to things that I would absolutely love to do but in my view, I didn't NEED to go get any old full time job yet. We had no kids, our bills were paid for,we had food in our stomachs, and we had only JUST settled her into her dream bar, and its not like I was sitting around in my underwear 7 days a week being a deadbeat. I still was applying and working any hours she needed help with at her bar.
​
To be honest, I don't know where to go from here. I've given her space, I didn't reach out for over 2 weeks until I finally saw her post on Facebook that she was looking for a new apartment. I was heartbroken. I texted her asking her when she planned on moving out of our apartment and she responded that she will be down this Sunday to start packing. It will be the first time I've seen her in 3 weeks and I'm dying. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say or how to say it. I want closure, but I also don't want to lose her forever. Like I said, if I knew this was coming I would've taken any job anywhere but I thought my support the last year for her to make her dreams happen was what a relationship was all about. I wasn't some deadbeat sitting at home doing drugs and drinking, I was a supportive boyfriend that wanted to see her flourish and now that she has, it feels like I've being kicked to the curb. I wanted to get married and buy the dream house just as much as she did. Someone please help me.
​
TL;DR: Girlfriend of 7 years dumped me 3 weeks ago because I didn't have a full time job to help us take the next step in our lives for the last 3 years due to COVID, working part-time, and then focusing entirely on her dreams of opening her business. I was never a deadbeat, I paid the bills and gave everything I had to our relationship and her dreams. Now she is coming over on Sunday to pack her things and it will be the first time I've seen her or talked to her since we broke up and I have no idea what to say or do.
​
TL;DR 2: I don't want to paint her as some selfish person here. I am absolutely partly at fault for this but I just never saw it coming and thought what I was doing was being supportive and putting my career and life on hold to help her accomplish her dreams of owning a business. I love her very much and just want whats best, but I can't help but feel like this is a massive mistake.

From a Sarajevo War Survivor: Experiencing horrible things that can happen in a war - death of parents and friends, hunger and malnutrition, endless freezing cold, fear, sniper attacks.
Stockpiling helps. but you never no how long trouble will last, so locate near renewable food sources. Living near a well with a manual pump is like being in Eden. After awhile, even gold can lose its luster. But there is no luxury in war quite like toilet paper. Its surplus value is greater than gold's. If you had to go without one utility, lose electricity - it's the easiest to do without (unless you're in a very nice climate with no need for heat.) Canned foods are awesome, especially if their contents are tasty without heating. One of the best things to stockpile is canned gravy - it makes a lot of the dry unappetizing things you find to eat in war somewhat edible. Only needs enough heat to "warm", not to cook. It's cheap too, especially if you buy it in bulk. Bring some books - escapist ones like romance or mysteries become more valuable as the war continues. Sure, it's great to have a lot of survival guides, but you'll figure most of that out on your own anyway - trust me, you'll have a lot of time on your hands. The feeling that you're human can fade pretty fast. I can't tell you how many people I knew who would have traded a much needed meal for just a little bit of toothpaste, rouge, soap or cologne. Not much point in fighting if you have to lose your humanity. These things are morale-builders like nothing else. Slow burning candles and matches, matches, matches

Only Europe Please- short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will permanently be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unwanted advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will.. However It's me who should feel comfortable in my new potential friendship & obviously someone interested in being my friend - not the whole world which is why I don't need any advice from people who don't even want to be a part of my life.
Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent
(remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make any time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give you one word answer and ask you another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different🙂
What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me
Do you ever feel like an option? Like a stranger to others despite knowing them for months or years & talking to them quite often? Like there's always something and someone more important than you and you just..don't fit in and no matter what you do - your effort is never appreciated?
​
I'm always the one texting people immediately (or at the very least trying to) no matter where I am and who I am with (family) others? Never - except for one exception.A really lovely person.
​
What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and without partners..Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them ( which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (Acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .. I also want to talk to others on a daily basis mainly because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..Why I'd rather talk to people from my continent? Well..Mainly because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - Especially given most people are always available on social media sites & keep their phones in a pocket.Once you receive & open my message - get back to me (If you're as serious as I am & really need a true friend) waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough
I'm by no means criticising people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have non important conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason.All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.
​
Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life
​
I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people really are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message Don't let anyone lie to you.Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..
You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk daily? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionally
​
I'm not trying to sound rude - I just don't want to meet new people and get emotionally attached - only to end up being left alone after weeks or months of daily conversations.I'm sick of that never ending story and always meeting people who ghost me without a single word (even if everything seems to be ok) or people who "change priorities" over time & become like strangers…I don't want to go through this ever again.
​
Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :)
​
It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make time for you.I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.
​
Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you. 🙂 I'm not really interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life.
​
• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in my post or messages and just focus on some question in a certain message or... when they don't ask me any questions themselves.I love conversations with people refering to every part of my messages - not just some question.
​
• No dirty messages PLEASE.I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. No NSWF profiles..I always check people's profiles (Even comment history) - To avoid guys,trying to get inappropriate photos from adult women or? flirt with them.I also absolutely don't respond to messages from people whose comments are very rude & obviously - Messages from people who judge other people and use vulgar words to describe them or? Make fun of them.Respect is very important
​
• Please only adult people 18-36 age range (I'm 27)
​
• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. I read all messages but I definitely don't respond to all of them! I want to make it clear because I don't want to be accused for not responding and not reading people's messages! - Some people don't message me back as well and even though It is a bit disappointing I'm ok with that! - as long as there's no emotional bond - I think it's ok to not respond to someone's first or second message If people think they wouldn't get along! I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversation and seeing people changing priorities but that's something different - something I don't want to go through ever again for real If I'm really interested in someone's message - I respond within a matter of minutes - max 6 hours (If I'm in bed - just sleeping) you won't even hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I really was too busy to make time for others - I wouldn't be here.I either want to talk to someone..or not.I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike some people)
​
• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.
​
• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - just like me - just to describe your emotions through text. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough I just don't like emotionless messages.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively.
​
• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you ) before moving to Discord or some other app
​
• Time response matters to me a lot! It matters to me whether I get a message back after one hour,three hours,6 hours or..12 hours and even..after a couple of days..And If you're another person just looking for one day conversation and then? "Disappear" for some amount of time longer than one day to come back and apologize me for being busy - don't even leave me a message.I just want to be honest with you from the start.I'm interested only in daily conversations
Why can’t you see any of my interests listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest,talkative,understanding,caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but in my personal opinion,common interests are important mainly when you want to find a gaming buddy (for example) or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's interests – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life– way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you!I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke
​
Friendships should be natural – not forced.Both people wanting to be friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.
​
I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I higly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :)
​
We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk everyday to be friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations with someone also interested in talking daily
​
If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night)I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.
​
If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies.I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new.
​
You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that's something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance. But others see it as false hope. Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future. You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're only responsible for ourselves - not for others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on,forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because a therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you.Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out & feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else"
​
Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others.Empathy is everything
Our world needs more peace 🤗 I've seen a lot of rude comments on reddit.If you don't agree with me - OK but please don't criticize me + Not everyone is here for some advice.
​
Listen people - I know how different my post is & I know It won't be easy for me to find what or rather who - I'm looking for BUT I always want to be myself instead of pretending someone I'm not and lying to others.I know It would be easier if (like others) I had less expectations but I I know what I want and honestly? If my post was different..I wouldn't be me.Even If I won't meet a person I'd get along with - that's ok! but don't give me any unwanted advice because I wouldn't change for someone who doesn't even know me pretty much as I wouldn't want to change anyone else.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.I'm not here to argue with anyone and to make fun of others.
​
Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abrreviations,If you don't need an emotional connection,If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship,to be natural which is why I want you to contact me If your needs are the same - I don't want you to try to change yourself only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.
I know It's possible to find what I'm looking for as I had conversations with people looking for exactly the same thing and being nice to me - I want to believe in my luck again as I had it a few times on reddit - I've recently lost someone I thought could be a friend of mine (such a perfect match) and I'm sad but I want to finally be happy again & find someone always wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals and what is the most important to me? To find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side
​
No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests.I don't really like public conversations and I also do not respond to comments so If you want to send me a message just do it without saying "You can DM me" + I'm online almost all the time

I got passed down an Eclipse from my aunt and it has its fair share of issues but it’s been sitting for about 10 years now and apparently it blown a head gasket and my family suggests I should completely overhaul and replace the engine but wouldn’t it just be easier and cheap to just fix the head gasket I turn 16 in just about 3 months so my budget isn’t the greatest maybe about 1,500 + What are the chances of transmission, exhaust, and other mechanical issues from it sitting in the elements for such an long time period

Only Europe Please- short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will permanently be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unwanted advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will..

Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest,talkative,understanding,caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but in my personal opinion,common interests are important mainly when you want to find a gaming buddy (for example) or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's interests – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life– way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you!I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke
​
Friendships should be natural – not forced.Both people wanting to be friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.
​
I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I higly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :)
​
We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk everyday to be friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations with someone also interested in talking daily
​
If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night)I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.
​
If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies.I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new.
​
You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that's something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance. But others see it as false hope. Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future. You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're only responsible for ourselves - not for others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on,forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because a therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you.Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out & feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else"
​
Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others.Empathy is everything
Our world needs more peace 🤗 I've seen a lot of rude comments on reddit.If you don't agree with me - OK but please don't criticize me + Not everyone is here for some advice.
​
Listen people - I know how different my post is & I know It won't be easy for me to find what or rather who - I'm looking for BUT I always want to be myself instead of pretending someone I'm not and lying to others.I know It would be easier if (like others) I had less expectations but I I know what I want and honestly? If my post was different..I wouldn't be me.Even If I won't meet a person I'd get along with - that's ok! but don't give me any unwanted advice because I wouldn't change for someone who doesn't even know me pretty much as I wouldn't want to change anyone else.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.I'm not here to argue with anyone and to make fun of others.
​
Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abrreviations,If you don't need an emotional connection,If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship,to be natural which is why I want you to contact me If your needs are the same - I don't want you to try to change yourself only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.
I know It's possible to find what I'm looking for as I had conversations with people looking for exactly the same thing and being nice to me - I want to believe in my luck again as I had it a few times on reddit - I've recently lost someone I thought could be a friend of mine (such a perfect match) and I'm sad but I want to finally be happy again & find someone always wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals and what is the most important to me? To find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side
​
No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests.I don't really like public conversations and I also do not respond to comments so If you want to send me a message just do it without saying "You can DM me" + I'm online almost all the time so you can contact me even after days or weeks of finding this post

First of all, hope this post fits here. Sorry if not.
So... My DS3 has finally gave up and I couldn't fix it, and now I guess I'll have to look for a third party controller.
Now, I do have two from some time ago but they're the same as the most things I see online, cheap knock-offs made to resemble the DS3 with none of the quality to it.
Besides that, there's this company, Retro Fighters who a PS specific controller, and apparently they made recently an upgraded version with all the PS3's stuff (sixaxis, pressure sensitive buttons). From what I heard it's good, but I wanna hear your opinions.
Besides that, what other controllers are there like that? I'm ok without Sixaxis and all that as I barely use it, but I do want precise joysticks and triggers for racers or shooters.
This said... is the Retro Fighters Defender good? Should I get the Bluetooth one? Or are there better controllers I don't know about?

I got passed down an Eclipse from my aunt and it has its fair share of issues but it’s been sitting for about 10 years now and apparently it blown a head gasket and my family suggests I should completely overhaul and replace the engine but wouldn’t it just be easier and cheap to just fix the head gasket I turn 16 in just about 3 months so my budget isn’t the greatest maybe about 1,500 + What are the chances of transmission, exhaust, and other mechanical issues from it sitting in the elements for such an long time period

Hi! Any flight suggestions from Toronto going to Dubai? Any good but cheap routes you had?

Hello everyone,
I currently reside in Nieuwegein, which is located near Utrecht. It takes approximately 20 minutes by bus to reach the city center. I have a flight scheduled from Eindhoven airport at 9 am. Upon checking the 9292 website, it indicates that I will arrive at the airport at 8 am. However, I am a bit concerned about potential train delays or cancellations.
I was wondering if there are any bus shuttles available (I couldn’t find) from Utrecht to Eindhoven airport? In case of any unforeseen circumstances, I am considering spending the evening at a hostel. Nevertheless, I wanted to inquire if there are any other options available.
(Note: Taxi is too expensive for me)

I am so confused, the company don’t have a phone line and the web chat has been useless, and help would be great.
I bought a 100GB SIM card from a store, when following the activation instructions, typed in the SIM number, then the only option was to take out a new plan.
There was no option for a code or mention of the £20 plan I already paid for. To progress, I literally had to take out a new plan, I thought OK, it’ll at least add my 100GB to the plan so I’ll get a cheap plan, whatever. It didn’t even add the data I prepaid for. I am so confused. SIM is VOXI if that matters. Thanks in advance
