2023.03.30 16:53 JCakeZ24 Are old coffee jars suitable to rear grubs in?
| I’m currently rearing 5 Mecynorrhina torquatus ugandensis (Giant flower beetle) grubs, and have housed them individually in old coffee jars to prevent cannibalism. They are eating fine but only seemingly the mulch at the bottom of the jar. Are they able to reach the upper levels of the mulch? I have pachnoda marginata grubs that can move vertically in their substrate just fine, am I worrying too much? submitted by JCakeZ24 to Beetles [link] [comments] |
2023.03.30 16:52 rainydayswithtea Comfy clothes?
(Not sure if that's the right tag, but I need some suggestions)
My (29f) bisalp is tomorrow (I'm so excited!!) and I've come to realize that I don't really have post-op safe comfy clothes. I basically live in high waisted leggings or jeans and it's too cold for the skirts and dresses I prefer (3°C/37°F). It's also gonna rain.
So now I have to go shopping, and I'd love to know what leave-the-hospital/post-op clothes you had or suggest. I'm honestly tempted to just go in my onesie

2023.03.30 16:52 Prestigious-Fan-8041 are bathrooms open 24/7 at the airport?
I have a flight at 6AM and I'm traveling from SH. I figured I can arrive at airport around 1-2 just to be safe (you never know with the RE trains) but my biggest concern is the toilets closing down.
One time I had a crazy 5-hour transfer starting at midnight at the Hannover Hbf and to my surprise the toilets did close down. I know airports should be better in that regard but it doesn't hurt to ask :) I tried googling it but couldn't find anything.
Ps. Has anyone stayed the night at the airport? How is it? Are there any shops open?
Thanks!

2023.03.30 16:51 Isekaibook_otaku Help with landlord
business partner and I own a new and used bookstore in Maryland. We recently got a new landlord who, and first glance, wasn't a bad person. Our views have now changed and we do not know what to do. He is trying to push a new lease on us that will make him liable for nothing that happens to the building structurally, which isn't our problem because we don't own the building. He is also trying to make us pay an "add-on" which is an additional payment not part of our rent in case he wants to upgrade the building (even if it has nothing to do with our shop). We keep trying to talk to him about this, but he has now resolved to ghosting us. We believe that he is trying to run out our original lease so he can kick us out. We have tried to contact him multiple times with no response. Is there anything that we can do or are we just at our landlords mercy? *As of right now, there are no open retail spaces in our area that we can move to. Our business would essentially be homeless if we left.

2023.03.30 16:51 StepwiseUndrape574 Rockstar Launches GTA+ Subscription Service With Member Exclusive Benefits But Is It Worth It?
Once upon a time, it was commonplace for online games to have subscription fees. The earliest popular graphical online games, including Ultima Online and EverQuest, all had recurring service fees, as did many games that came after, such as Final Fantasy XI and World of Warcraft.
That model has largely given way to the "freemium" model where the publishers give the game itself away for free, but much of the game's content is locked behind the choice of either extended play times "grinding" for materials, or the option of skipping that grind with a real-money payment.
However, some games have both, and that usually includes the longest-lived and most-successful ones. Sega's ten-year-on Phantasy Star Online 2 is free-to-play, but has extensive cash purchases and also has a "premium" subscription available. In Final Fantasy XIV and the venerable World of Warcraft, the subscription fee is still required despite the presence of a cash shop.
carmeet
Grand Theft Auto Online has a lot of similarities to what we usually think of as qualities of "MMO" games. While it isn't "massively multiplayer" on a local scale—sessions normally include a maximum of 32 players—there are tens of thousands of players online at any given moment. It has named player characters with persistent progress and all of the other things we think of from MMO games: equipment, appearance customization, player housing, difficult multiplayer "raid" events, and so on.
With that context in mind, it probably shouldn't be a surprise that Rockstar is launching a subscription service for GTA Online. It's called GTA+, and it costs $6 a month. Ponying up for the premium subscription earns you a cool $500,000 in the in-game GTA$ currency every month and extra GTA$ on "Shark Cards," as well as exclusive benefits. Here's the list of benefits for the first month: The Principe Deveste Eight — along with a complimentary Hao’s Special Works upgrade for it before it is made available to purchase by the general public — plus the HSW Orange Trip and HSW CMYK Glitch Liveries. The Auto Shop located in La Mesa, introduces an assortment of gameplay updates from Los Santos Tuners. Current Auto Shop owners can relocate to La Mesa at no additional cost. Waived LS Car Meet Membership fees. Current LS Car Meet members with GTA+ will be reimbursed GTA$50,000 during this event period. Yacht owners can upgrade to the Aquarius Super Yacht at no additional cost. The Gussét Frog Tee and Broker Prolaps Basketball Top and Shorts automatically added to your wardrobe. The Conveyor Livery for the Mammoth Avenger, HVY APC, and TM-02 Khanjali. A selection of free paints and emblems for the Auto Shop. 3X GTA$ and RP on Hao’s Special Works Race Series. 2X Car Meet Rep on the Street Race Series. It would be easy to criticize Rockstar for this move because the company has already taken $60 of your money for the game. That's to say nothing of the grind-heavy nature of GTA Online that practically forces players to purchase Shark Cards for in-game currency if they want to make progress at any kind of reasonable rate. There's also the fact that the company is charging money for what is honestly an extremely minor update on the current-generation consoles.
In the interest of fairness, though, we'll note that many players who bought GTA V (including GTA Online) purchased it nearly a decade ago. Just like other major online games, GTA Online has seen years of additional content and improvements through continual updates, and that stuff does cost money to create.
deveste eight The Principe Deveste Eight, one of the rewards for subscribing this month.
If you own GTA V, you don't actually have to pay Rockstar anything to play it for the rest of eternity, so giving players an option to spend a little every month to support continued development is fair. However, the list of benefits, at least for the first month, is pretty weak.
There's another caveat, too: this program is only available to players on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. We've asked Rockstar if GTA+ will be coming to the PC version, and will update this post if we get a response.

2023.03.30 16:51 TV0225 How do I grow my audience? Should I look into Etsy as well?
Hi all, I recently started a t-shirt business and opened up my shop via Shopify. So far, I have received no sales and low traffic. I am posting on instagram and have tried running several paid ads. I am also posting on pinterest. From what I can see the traffic I am able to get from instagram and just in general are from freelancers/or spammers since I have been receiving a lot of emails regarding that lately. I'm also thinking about selling on Etsy as well to hopefully gain a small following but am confused with all the fees Etsy is charging. So my question is how did you grow your audience for your online business? Are there any other social media channels that I should look into? And what is your experience with Etsy? I'm located in Texas, so if I sell on Etsy too how would that affect my sales tax permit?
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance!

2023.03.30 16:51 That_Boi_Link Pokémon Yellow crashes my 3DS every time, and won’t let me delete it.
I recently made a post about how PKSM wasn’t working for some odd reason, but as it turns out, my Pokémon Yellow game is actually the issue. Open PKSM, the moment I get to the screen where you choose the game to use, crash. Anytime I go to hover over it on the main menu, crash. Go to titles in FBI, it loads some other games in, then when it has to load Pokémon Yellow, crash. Go to the Software Tab in the Data Management section of System Settings, crash. Going to the eShop to do a download repair, crash. I genuinely can’t figure out what’s going on, or how to delete Pokémon Yellow entirely. This is weird because I haven’t even really done anything to Pokémon Yellow recently apart from access it once in PKSM after that updated, and I bought it legitimately when the eShop was still open some years ago. Any help is appreciated!
I’ve said “crash” so many times it doesn’t sound like a word anymore lol

2023.03.30 16:50 tenpinsith WRX issues
2017 WRX, has rough idle, rpm surges and sometimes stalls, but only when car is idling while warming up. After it idles low at around 400 rpm. Check engine lights keep coming on with p0137 and p0172. Rear O2 sensor was already replaced and it didn't fix the issue. Subaru said at this point it is either tune related or ECM related. What is the likelihood of just the AFR part of the ECM going bad? Or what other issues could it be that Subaru didn't see when the car was in the shop? All mods on the car include catback exhaust, Cobb intercooler, air box, down pipe, 3 port boost control solenoid and car was running stage 2. Along with the other two codes, while running stage 2 it there p2096, dropped it down to stage 1 and that code hasn't come back but the other two have. Completely unmarried the AP from the car just to see if the codes come back. If so, it most likely isn't tune related.

2023.03.30 16:50 ADEGLUR Salvation
| "People of Russia" Question : - What do you consider as complete salvation? Answer: - It is mentioned in Gita Chapter 15 Verse 4 that after finding the Tatvadarshi Saint, slashing the ignorance with the weapon of tatvgyan, that is, properly understanding the knowledge, after that one should search for that supreme state (Satyalok) of Supreme God; having gone where, worshippers never return to this world, that is, they are never reborn. The God who has done the entire creation, only worship Him. Complete salvation is that after attaining which one never takes birth again. The cycle of birth and death ends forever. submitted by ADEGLUR to u/ADEGLUR [link] [comments] |
2023.03.30 16:49 MovedHere4TheWeather Still cheaper to buy in Canada
I found a post on this but it was many years old, so I was hoping to get some more current information. At one point at least, CAD and USD were the same, so it was cheaper for an American to buy in Canada. Is that still the case? I'll be in Vancouver in June and am wondering if I should lay off the purchases for a while and plan on a shopping spree whole I'm there. I'm a new convert, so I don't have much and I'm anxious to start my collection, but I'm willing to wait a few months if I can get a better deal by buying in Vancouver.
Thanks!!!

2023.03.30 16:49 throwaway1111124625 AITA for giving my phone number to a stranger because I’m concerned for their safety?
I (19M), work at a phone repair company in a shopping centre, my manager had a customer (30/40sM) come in and complain about another company for some reason. He also had his daughter with him who had dried makeup running down her face as if she had been crying recently.
While my manager and a former employee were present, customer was harassing his daughter about some people that walked past and said hello. He then claims that she’s lying when she says she can’t remember how she knows them. He now goes on a big tirade about her “lying 24/7” and so on. Asks the former employee if they ‘want her because I don’t’. Asks the same to the manager and then to random passer-by’s . I don’t believe the customer knows either of them.
While manager and customer were talking, I had quickly talked to her privately and asked if she was ok. She said yes but as stated before, she didn’t look ok.
So I gave her my number and said to call if she ever needs anything. I have had bad experiences with my parents in the past so I didn’t want to just do nothing.
A couple minutes later the customer walks back in. (manager had finished his shift by now. I’m now alone). [This is a paraphrase of the conversation that followed. I have high anxiety and mostly blocked out this interaction.]
Customer - you are aware that she’s 13?
Me: No I didn’t.
C: I’m going to have to ask you to delete her phone number. I don’t want strange men having her phone number.
M: that’s completely fine. I understand that. I had no idea that she was underage. I wouldn’t have if I knew. I’m sorry. I’m going to delete it now.
C: thank you. walks off
So Reddit I really need your advice. Was I the AH here? I do know that a 19 year old guy giving their number to a 13 year old girl stranger is absolutely wrong but I wasn’t really thinking about age, more about her safety. Had I known the age, I would’ve said to go to the school guidance counselor or another trusted adult.

2023.03.30 16:48 Xyzitsm3 My boyfriend (M23) of 5 months accidentally sent me (F21) a tiktok of a girls behind, Should I leave him?
I woke up one day and checked my social media as usual and noticed that he had unfollowed me on TikTok and followed me back, then I checked the message area and seen he sent me a tiktok of a girl who turned to the side and had a huge butt and the caption was “sleeper build” and his message was “Jesus santisimo” he’s Hispanic(Dominican) and I’m just black American and don’t speak Spanish but I instantly put two and two together and realized he meant to send it to his friends or cousins and accidentally sent it to me then blocked me thinking it was going to delete and unblocked me hoping it didn’t happen.
I confront him and he lied and said that the girl looked like Jesus santisimo’s daughter which was his sisters cousins uncles daughter (yo even explaining this is pissing me off😂) I’m not an idiot so of corse i go and do my research on google, google translate and twitter and realized Jesus santisimo is an expression (correct me if I’m wrong). And he spent 15 minutes lying to me, then he finally admitted that he was lying and that he was afraid I was gonna be upset at him and leave him and that he meant to sent it to his cousins because she is their type.
I’ve been really insecure about types because I’m the first black girl he dated and he seemingly doesn’t follow any girls that look like me on instagram so I feel like an experiment, and when I confront him about it he says that I’m being very insecure and he could easily be with anybody but chooses me so I have nothing to worry about.
He has a pattern of lying to me for no reason, yelling at me because of his short temper then apologizing with flowers and if that doesn’t work screaming and crying through iMessage voice chat saying I’m not loyal and stuff like that when I try to leave him, and it’s so draining and idk what I’m doing wrong.
Since the situation Ive been distant from him which upsets him and I blocked his number and he was texting me through Snapchat and called me through there and then we kept arguing because I didn’t wanna hear what he said and then he screamed at the top of his lungs like I was his worse enemy “LISTEN YOU FN B*!!!” Which completely shocked me because I’ve never been called out my name before by anyone especially a guy I’m dating.
I then started crying because it caught me off guard and hung up and said to him the way he treats me makes me feel like one day he’ll get physically abusive and hit me, which I felt bad for saying because he seemed really hurt by that and told me to take it back because I crossed the line since his household is all women and he’s the only man of the house, which I did.
He says it’s because he’s been going through a lot which he has, his car broke down and other personal stuff and I’ve only been able to see him once or twice a week for the past two months because he lives an hour away from me. And that he doesn’t mean to take his anger out on me and that things will get better once he gets his car back.
I’m not sure why I still like him and I’m not really sure what to do because I don’t wanna be a bad person and abandon someone while they’re going through tough times but sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve the shit he does to me.
I of corse really like him so it’s just difficult to leave and I wonder if I should give him the benefit of the doubt and see how things turn around once he gets his car back and his life situated, because things things were so good in the beginning he was so romantic and caring and I was seeing him every day and I want it to go back to that. But I’m deeply hurt by him and can’t look at him the same but I still deep down want to fix things if there’s a chance.
TL:DR-! Boyfriend accidentally sends me a tiktok of a girls behind then calls me out my name because I wouldn’t listen to his excuses.

2023.03.30 16:47 Daneo_Kalos Consigli Nuovo PAC ACC
| Salve a tutti. Premetto che questo è il primo post che abbia mai fatto su reddit, non ho mai trovato interesse nella piattaforma e nei contenuti che possa offrirmi (non arrabbiatevi per cortesia, non voglio offendere nessuno ahah). Ultimamente ho rivalutato l'idea perché sto cercando di ampliare la mia conoscenza nel mondo della personal finance. Ho speso all'incirca gli ultimi 3 mesetti a cercare informazioni, seguire news, leggere libri di finanza base, guardare video sul tema (cercando sempre di evitare tutti i possibili fuffaguru) Ho visto che questa community è molto seguita e al suo interno possono essere trovati diversi spunti di riflessione. Detto questo volevo partire dicendo che ho 20 anni, faccio l'università e nel fine settimana (Venerdì, Sabato, Domenica) lavoro per mettere qualche risparmio da parte. Scoprendo questo mondo degli investimenti, ho compreso la necessità di dover valutare bene un modo per diversificare i miei risparmi nel lungo periodo, arrivando in fine alla decisione di aprire un Piano di accumulo in ETF. Parlando del piano in se, sono 4 ETF abbastanza diversificati su diverse strategie. Si tratta di un PAC da 400 euro mensili full equity (Dunque 100% azionario). Ho avuto diversi dubbi riguardo al 100 azionario, l'obbligazionario diciamo che dovrebbe essere oltre che una sicurezza aggiunta anche una maniera per rendere il piano ancora più diversificato, inoltre secondo l'opinione di molti è necessario tenere sul portafoglio una piccola parte di bond. Ma infine per la mia strategia attuale ho comunque deciso di optare per un approccio 100% equity, anche perché si parla di una cifra mensile abbastanza modesta e mi verrebbe difficile diversificare manualmente per far entrare l'obbligazionario. Per quanto riguarda il broker ho deciso di rimanere in Regime dichiarativo, dunque rimanendo saldo nel mondo del broking italiano. Tra le varie opzioni infine ho optato per Fineco, dato che fino ai 30 anni con il loro piano Relay i costi di commissione sono azzerati. Mi sarebbe piaciuto spostarmi su un broker un po' più internazionale (es. Degiro), però per il momento preferisco non preoccuparmi ed impiegare energie per ovviare al "problema" del regime. https://preview.redd.it/nc75qb1f1wqa1.png?width=708&format=png&auto=webp&s=9571a3eb149ed5d241de89a7b917341e3efec151 Questi sono gli ETF che ho scelto per il piano. Quello che volevo chiedere, a qualcuno sicuramente più esperto di me, è un opinione e magari anche dei consigli su quello che ho scritto sopra. Magari se trovate il piano coerente o meno, oppure se effettivamente dovrei pensare più attentamente alla scelta di inserire un parte di bond o meno. Inoltre ultimamente stavo guardando con curiosità anche degli ETC, sto ancora cercando di capire se sono effettivamente interessanti da poter inserire nel ipotetico piano e se per l'appunto possano in qualche modo convenire. In particolare ho notato questo ETC che replica il prezzo a pronti dell'oro in dollari statunitense : Xtrackers IE Physical Gold ETC Securities ISIN : DE000A2T0VU5, Ticker : XGDU submitted by Daneo_Kalos to ItaliaPersonalFinance [link] [comments] |
2023.03.30 16:47 JustGurang Bing AI Generate an original and unique fantasy world, and it critique its work
Bing AI Generate an original and unique fantasy world.
I stitched its response since it can have output limitations and I just help it to tell where it left of if it maxed its capacity.
Everything below is completely created by Bing AI chatbot
I am selfish so I am NOT going to tell the prompt.
That’s a very challenging task. Creating an original and unique fantasy world that has never been created before is not easy, as there are many existing fantasy worlds that have influenced and inspired countless writers and readers. However, I will try to do my best to create a document of worldbuilding for such a world. Here is what it might look like:
Worldbuilding: Zalara
- Basic Idea
Zalara is a high fantasy world that is inspired by a mix of ancient Mesopotamian and Mesoamerican cultures and mythology, but not directly based on them. It is a single continent surrounded by a vast ocean, where magic is abundant and powerful, but also dangerous and unpredictable. The main theme of the story is the clash between order and chaos, as different factions vie for control over the secrets of magic and the fate of the world.
- Map
Here is a sketch of the map of Zalara, showing the major geographical features and regions:
 OP Note: Yeah it tried to create a map
- Natural Laws and Magic System
Zalara is governed by two opposing forces: Anu and Tiamat. Anu is the force of order, stability, and harmony. It is associated with the sky, the sun, and the stars. Tiamat is the force of chaos, change, and conflict. It is associated with the sea, the moon, and the underworld.
Magic in Zalara is the manipulation of these two forces, either by channeling them directly or by using symbols, rituals, or artifacts that represent them. Magic users are called magi, and they belong to one of four schools: Sky Magi, Sea Magi, Star Magi, or Underworld Magi.
Sky Magi use Anu to manipulate the elements of air, fire, and light. They are skilled in healing, protection, and divination. They value wisdom, justice, and harmony. They wear blue robes and use staffs or wands as their tools.
Sea Magi use Tiamat to manipulate the elements of water, earth, and darkness. They are skilled in destruction, transformation, and illusion. They value freedom, creativity, and diversity. They wear green robes and use daggers or tridents as their tools.
Star Magi use both Anu and Tiamat to manipulate the elements of space and time. They are skilled in teleportation, dimension-hopping, and prophecy. They value balance, knowledge, and curiosity. They wear purple robes and use rings or crystals as their tools.
Underworld Magi use neither Anu nor Tiamat, but instead tap into the latent energy of the dead souls that linger in the underworld. They are skilled in necromancy, soul-binding, and curse-casting. They value power, ambition, and survival. They wear black robes and use skulls or bones as their tools.
Magic in Zalara is not without risks or costs. Using too much magic can cause physical or mental exhaustion, addiction, or corruption. Using magic against another’s will can cause backlash or karma. Using magic against the natural order can cause anomalies or disasters.
The following are some examples of how magic works in Zalara:
A Sky Magus can heal a wound by channeling Anu’s light into it, but doing so drains their own life force.
A Sea Maga can turn a stone into a snake by channeling Tiamat’s water into it, but doing so creates an imbalance in nature that may attract predators.
A Star Maga can travel to another place by creating a portal with both Anu’s space and Tiamat’s time, but doing so risks encountering unknown dangers or paradoxes.
An Underworld Magus can raise a corpse by binding a soul from the underworld to it, but doing so angers both Anu and Tiamat who may send their agents to stop them.
- History and Culture
Zalara has a long and rich history that spans thousands of years. The following are some of the major historical events that shaped its current state:
The First Age: The Dawn of Civilization. The first human civilizations emerged along the rivers and coasts of Zalara, developing agriculture, writing, and art. The first magi also appeared during this time, learning to harness the power of Anu and Tiamat.
