Is nopalina good for weight loss

Trying to play music from a USB stick in my 2022 Sonata. Pretty much all of my music works great (it's been ripped as either FLAC or MP3), but certain songs don't show up at all. My primary device is a 256 sandisk, which I formatted as Fat32 and threw all my music on (yes I know you can't hear the difference between mp3 and flac in a car, I just dont want to convert all my already ripped CDs). My folder system is setup as artist>album>songs. Oddly, the specific albums I'm having trouble showing up are from Ed Sheeran and Beckah Shae (not that that should make a difference but?) I have tried converting to MP3, formatting at 32GB usb and placing them on there (in which my Sonata tells me there's "no supported files") and I'm really at a loss for how to proceed. I know, everyone uses a phone for music nowadays but I just switched back to a "dumb" phone in order to lower my high usage of screen time per day. Anyways, has anyone had experience with this? Also SEL convenience trim if that helps

I haven't even been diagnosed yet so I'm already freaking out long in advance, but I'm really worried about when I eventually do and get prescribed my medication. Medication already is a scary thing for me as is, not because I abuse them or anything, but because I have a history of them slowly wearing off over time despite increased doses. When I first was diagnosed with adhd, I got Adderall and it worked wonders for me for about a month, then slowly day by day it was less effective, and increased doses/switching to vyvanse didn't work at all, and by month 3 or 4 I was back where I was at. That experience was probably the highest depression I've ever felt in my life cause I felt what it was like to be normal, only to have that taken away from me suddenly, and I'm really scared of the same thing happening again. I'm also scared cause at this point I know how ssri's work. I know you have to take them for 2-4 weeks before it actually begins to lower anxiety/depression, and within that adjustment period you can actually feel significantly more anxious. That's what happened last time I was prescribed one, and I know its gonna happen to me again I know that all these trials and tribulations are a part of the process, and that ultimately its good that I'm looking for fixes instead of leaving the issue where it is forever. But I'm just so scared. Im so terrified of my life repeating like this. What if it never stops, yknow? How many more times will I go through these cycles before I can feel normal

First dose was last Thursday. I’ve posted previously that I’m titrating (microdosing) throughout the week at 2.5. Weighed in today and I lost 3 lbs. Not weighing myself daily, just weekly. Minimal negative side effects, only the occasional chills. This drug is REAL! It’s difficult to explain to people how the cravings just stop and you don’t really care or miss them. Food noise is 100% gone which is so incredible. SW 160. Please don’t judge. My body carries weight in awful ways and when starting my BMI was thisclose to being approved for Wegovy.

So I just celebrated my one week vape free with myself last night - just me, my favourite music, a hardcore workout, my fave Netflix show & some delicious snacks ✨💕😊
So proud of myself this page has helped me so much and I’m just so happy to be getting myself back again! I have missed me so much 🥲 I actually WANT to do things with others again and have meaningful conversations and relationships again. Crazy what one week can do.
Some instant benefits I’ve noticed one week in (to others early on their journey)

1. Education has been a absolute life saver. The science behind nicotine addiction. Without that base understanding things are just super confusing
   
2. I can THINK clearly, my dreams and desires are no longer pipe dreams and I can actually see them happening now because I am able to USE ACTION
   
3. No guilt, lies, secrets or shame anymore
   
4. First 5 days felt in pain, but now on day 8 my body is starting to feel good and strong. Smashed gym/running 3 times this week and it never felt so good
   
5. I have this wonderful feeling I’m going to get EVEN BETTER than I was before I started vaping. Like a whole new level, I’m finally excited for my future again
   

Whenever I feel like I’m caving, I just force myself to remember how AWFUL sick tired exhausted and weak I felt 24/7. How every moment I was trapped in addiction. How I was waking up 5 times a night to smoke at my worst. I disgusted and ashamed I felt. How I couldn’t tell anyone. How alone I was and how sad I felt. Getting rid of my vape is seriously like breaking up with an abusive ex. They make you think you need them, but once you experience life without them again you are just so happy to be free.
Good luck everyone - WE GOT THIS 🙏🏻🍀🤞🏼

Your company is not your friend. It's not your parent. Stop giving it the responsibilities that should be in your hands. It has zero obligation to make you grow. Or pay you your worth. Your company is a customer that pays for your skill, energy, and time.
It will not negotiate for your maximum worth or even your fair value. It will aim for the lowest possible price that will not break your transaction. It's not being evil or oppressive that way. It's just how companies operate - by holding resources steady while minimizing resources to maximize profits.
You, on the other hand, are the person who has a limited number of hours in this lifetime that you can use for work. You are literally selling the best years of your life when you work. To leave the pricing of each minute, hour, day of your life to another person simply because you think that's just how things are supposed to work, is nothing short of allowing yourself to get scammed.
You need to maximize the pay for each minute of your life as much as you can. Maybe if you get enough, you might not need to sell all of it and spend more time for yourself, your passion, and your loved ones.
What I'm getting at is this:
You have to stop waiting for raises and promotions thinking the yearly appraisals or your "kind" manager will eventually notice your hard work and skills and give you your worth.
Make yourself indispensable then milk the ever living shit out of your situation.
You have to actively negotiate more when you think you deserve more. You have to learn to sell yourself and your achievements and capabilities without thinking you're doing something dirty.
Don't rely on the yearly performance appraisal bullshit. That's a circus to keep people just happy enough to stay for as long as possible. It's not a true negotiation of worth.
If you can let the company know your worth and if the company knows what they're doing, they will be willing to adjust to your demand for equity. True negotiation. If they cannot, then you should not be working there in the first place.
Set up meetings with your bosses. If they don't want to, set up a meeting with their bosses. Be cognizant of what you contribute to the company. Do away with the "I'm a fast learner", "I'm a team player" bullshit. Tell them how much money you help them make. Tell them how much better they are now because of you. Tell them how much your team literally depends on your output and knowledge. Tell them what they can get if you stay on for longer if they give you what you want. SELL YOURSELF. HARD.
You don't need to threaten them with a job offer from another company to do this. Matter of fact, sometimes those even can get in the way. You will likely get a much better deal when you're still under their good graces than when you're blackmailing them for a counter offer.
You can always just say the truth: if you like where you are, tell them that you want to stay but you think you can get more for doing more. Companies aren't idiots in general. They know losing people will cost them more money in the long run because they lose tenured resources and have to spend more money to headhunt, screen, and train. For as long as you make yourself important enough to be sold at a high value, you will have the seller's advantage in every negotiation.
And if, at the end of all that, you still cannot get what you want, then that's the time you go to another company. Because you know the true value of the time you have, and you are not running a charity.
You are running a business. Your trade is you. Your product is your life. Do not sell yourself short.

First things first I am a 24m in the western US, I am not too tall, I am around 177cm(5'10"), I have been told by a few people that my eyes are pretty nice, and that my voice is deep and soothing (not too sure on that one, you can judge that for yourself if you choose). Currently I hope to one day go back to college or to at least teach myself coding and get more involved with computer information systems.
I would say I am a good listener, I like to be supportive and helpful in any way that I can be. I would say my love languages are quality time, and words of affirmation. I am big on giving gifts to those important to me and thus love the holiday season on top of loving when it snows.
I mostly will play games (it would be nice if you are a gamer too pc or switch but not necessary), watch anime or other shows in my free time I have also just gotten into manga recently, though I don't have many I do enjoy them.
I also love learning new things, and try to live my life by trying new things whenever I can, of course I won't just try anything without putting some thought into it, but I try to withhold any reservations I may have, not including my fear of heights, I have been ziplining before and I think that's about the most I will do involving heights of any kind.
I watch a wide variety of different things whether it be whatever is on tv, something new on Netflix or just the places Youtube recommended takes me.
I'm open to exchanging selfies sooner or later whichever is preferred, anyways I hope you are all having a wonderful day and hope to hear from anyone whose interest I may have caught!
Oh and feel free to send me your discord if you would prefer that to reddit chats or dm.

I don't have a fear of being alone, but a fear of a non-committal relationship. I enjoy my interests outside of a relationship, and quite independent and also dependant in some ways. I feel good when I'm physical present with someone - but through texting it is hard for me. I do not need my partner to attend every need or emotion
I believe I am anxiously attached to some extent and need valuable help.

TL;IDR: Why are most if not all rescue dogs in NZ “staffy x”, “bully x” or an alike large breed?
So hear me out, where I grew up, South America, there’s no really a good animal control management. Growing up, all the dogs I had other than my childhood GSD were mutts from the street that I’d just lure into the house and make mine, because well, I love dogs! In NZ, I’ve noticed that animal control is much better. You don’t really see animals, mutt doggies, roaming down the streets, at least not like you’d see in South America.
For a long time, I had intended to get a dog, but all rescue places required certain level of experience because of the traumas their dogs had. It ultimately never worked out, and after unsuccessfully trying to adopt a rescue for a long time, I just opted for getting a BC pup. Fair enough, I won’t complain about that, especially because it worked out perfectly considering the awesome princess I ended up with!
Anyways… my question is: Why are most rescue pups the specific breeds mentioned above? I’m specifically asking because I’m thinking of getting a second dog in the future, and would like to understand more about what to expect in case I consider trying to, once again, adopt a rescue.
Disclaimer: I love all pups and I’m by no means discriminating or intending to sound like I have a prejudice against any of them, I just want to know why you don’t really see generic mutts or other breeds up for adoption in the rescue centres in NZ. Is there a story behind it? Did NZ ever have strays wandering the streets? Any articles or resources would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Are my levels normal? Why is my total test so low at this age? I have been lifting 5-6 times a week for 1.5 years. I don't look like I lift so the people here told me to get a blood work done and this is what I have. Yes I do train till failures as my gym bros who are on gear told me so I think my training is good. I sleep 7-9 hours every night but at irregular times. My diet is clean its mostly roasted chicken rice, milk, beans, chickpeas, broccoli, whey protein, shakesmart. On weekends I just have a chick-fill-A fried chicken sandwich. I can stop doing that too if that's needed.
What are the next steps guys? I wanna know what to do. I don't wanna be those guys who have a bad lifestyle and then say I need trt. I wanna make sure I'm doing everything right first.

All I want is to belong. And I'm not alone, I have family (mom and two sisters), I have boyfriend and couple of friends, that are left after I cleaned my social circle in summer. But this past 4 months I've been in a dark hole. It's not all bad, I get days of feeling okay. But it's been such a long time since I felt like myself. Even the good mood and events leave me empty. And today is first day that it wouldn't matter if I wasn't here. And it scared the shit out of me... I take proud in my optimism and how lucky I am, things always seemed to work out for me. I used to be in toxic family and relationships, lately that wasn't a problem. Okay, university is not going as it should, and maybe finance are tight for few months now. But that happened in the past too and I never felt the way I feel now. I never want to feel this way again.

I'm honestly at a loss in my relationship and am not too sure where to go from here
I've(19M) been with my girlfriend(18F) for 2.5 years now and honestly we're lacking severely in sexual department.
The first 6 months or so we were having sex almost everyday, sometimes twice a day. After about 6 months or so she started taking pills for anxiety and from that moment on her sex drive took a plummet. Since then we've pretty much only been having sex or anything sexual at all once a month, I'm lucky to get it twice. This usually happens a week or so before her period starts but other than that she has no sex drive whatsoever.
I've tried talking to her about it before and she gets upset and says that her (m3ntal) health is more important than us having sex. I do agree with her statement to a certain point but its been so long of the same thing and its getting to be a little much (or not enough?) for me. Any time I try and initiate she'll completely disregard my comment and try to change the subject all together. Sometimes she'll even just straight up tell me to go and jerk off. I consider myself to be a sexually active person so it is difficult enough for me to just put all of my "feelings" aside. I mean she looks so damn good it's hard to
It's at the point where I almost feel like we're just friends with the status of being together. Even kissing, most of the time it's just a little peck lol. There feels like there's no passion or anything coming from her.
She has changed her meds once to no avail, she claims part of it was because she does want to have a sex drive but from my point of view at least it seems as though her other pills we're starting not be ineffective. She was getting headaches all the time after they upped the dose on her first meds thus leading to the change.
She told me her doctor said there was a new medication coming out shortly that claims to have zero-to-no side effects sexually speaking and I asked if she was thinking about maybe giving it a try and she said she didn't want to switch her meds again.
I apologize if this doesn't fit the level of intensity this subreddit is usually filled with. I don't enjoy talking with other people about many aspects of my personal life especially this. I've tried just holding my own thoughts and emotions in for a long time and I really just need some advice.
Thank you

I am a former Wilfrid Laurier BBA student and have finished about a year's worth of credits. I have decided to switch my program to information technology-related programs as I believe a Business Technology Management or Information Technology degree is much more valuable in a technologically developing society. I believe BBA is a really common and easy route degree where you are not likely to find great jobs and must have to start with low salaries thus having to build up over years to eventually hit six figures if you're lucky.
I am really great with technology such as being able to solve any issue regarding computer software, having experience building gaming computers as well as fixing any Information Technology related issue which I believe shows me that a better pathway for me is pursuing business technology-related programs and landing jobs in IT related fields which I believe I can excel in which as well are much better paying and in demand compared to BBA fields.
The three programs I have applied to through the 105 OUAC application are labeled from most preferred to least as the list goes down.

1. York University - Information Technology (BCom)
2. York University - Information Technology (BA)
3. Toronto Metropolitan University - Business Technology Management

Now come to the reason for this post which is, which program would be the best to accept within these three? I listed York University at the top as I prefer the university's image and standards compared to TMU. TMU, I believe has a bad image after the name change and I have heard from Laurier BTM students, that TMU's Co-op isn't as great as compared to other universities. I believe York is much more reputable and the Information Technology Commerce degree is much more valuable and looked upon compared to TMU's BTM. The good I can say about TMU is that I have been told the campus is really nice looking compared to York.
You can notice as well that I applied for the same program twice at York with the only difference being one is an arts degree and one is commerce. This is so that in case I come through the situation where I don't get accepted in commerce, I may likely be accepted into the arts degree.
Provided the information above and assuming I will get acceptance into TMU no matter what, The questions I have now are.

1. What do you all think is a better choice between these three comparatively
2. If I don't get accepted for York Commerce but do get accepted into the Bachelor of Arts IT at York, is it better than pursuing BTM at TMU? (specifically comparing the York arts degree with TMU BTM Commerce).

Hey guys, I never posted about this issue that has been plaguing me initially. But I figured I'd post my solution here as I saw plenty of people having the same issues. I'll start with the background.
I must preface this by saying the issue only seemed to pertain to my WLAN (wireless or wifi if you will) devices and not wired LAN devices.
A few months ago I noticed that Verizon did some network side upgrades and enabled IPv6 in my neighborhood (most likely getting ready for the upgrade to NG-PON2). Along with that came some issues. One: My router seems to be throwing out inbound ICMP pings left and right. Originally the setting by default was to accept these, so check and make sure both IPv4 and IPv6 do not accept ICMP pings. Two: My router seemed to be having issues routing WLAN packets. Oftentimes I would have network connectivity but would have immense packet loss or timeouts on anything from web requests to video streams. And Three: All WLAN devices had latencies nearing (or above sometimss) 100ms under load when testing with servers less than 200 miles away) when running nothing besides the test itself.
I did a few things to resolve this. After disabling ICMP pings from the WAN side, I switched IPv6 Address Distribution from Stateless to DHCPv6 and assigned my devices static IPs since I only have a few on wlan. I then set my DNS for IPv4 to Cloudflare IP 1.1.1.1 and DNS.Watch IP 84.200.69.80 for my secondary. I then switched my IPv6 DNS to primary both to DNS.Watch servers 2001:1608:10:25::1c04:b12f and 2001:1608:10:25::9249:d69b (Just make sure when you read this those are still relevant IPs).
I flushed my DNS on both PC and mobile devices just for good measure (probably don't need to do this unless you have issues).
Now I am able to run my VPN on all devices with no performance issues. Pings range from 3-10ms without VPN and 20-30ms with VPN. Thankfully with my VPN, there really isn't much of a noticeable difference in bandwidth with or without VPN. I still am getting random pings on my router. The frequency has however dropped and most of what I am seeing now (according to IP blocklists) are your average bots crawling the web for vulnerable systems. Thankfully the router seems to be blocking these pings. Can't do much about them as they keep changing their IPs and the last few values of their MAC addresses.
Anyways, hope this helps someone!!! I am very slow to reply sometimes so don't take it personally. I'm a techie but, not a social media-ie, err I guess....

His plan as I understand it is to get all the humans under one banner, kill everything else that could possibly influence the warp at a large scale, and get humanity access and control over the webway. I actually think 40k is a really good tale of a man who tried to be omnipotent and all knowing and failed thus dooming things to be worse. Just pure unbridled arrogance. Because he did in fact miss things that fact is undeniable. If Big E killed the chaos gods humanity dies quicker to the later threats without access to psychic abilities and warp fuckery. Imagine humanity vs nids with restricted warp access, they fucked. Oh shit we're just gonna fight the necrons using physics? No shot we win that.
The thing is it's not a bad plan given the information he had. If he has no knowledge of necrons and nids then making humanity the only thing that influences the warp and then telling them the chaos gods don't exist works! If you never HAVE to utilize psychic abilities and everyone buys into the imperial truth then it will be good. And then the nids and necrons come and wreck them.
The emperor could never truly save humanity humans just thought he could. And I really enjoy his son's realizing as they come back. Humanity can never win in the setting. And there are other civs that need humanity to not lose. I actually think this is something they need to establish for the Tau and Votaan. It shouldn't be too hard to come up with a reason and I think it would really help them feel more important to more people if they had more obvious resiliency then they are not being paid attention to right now.

hi :) im gonna be a freshman next year, and i really enjoy volleyball!
but yeah i'm not very good at it, and only know the basics (i still dont know the proper form of spiking cuz our school never really bothered 😭)
i joined my school team in 8th grade, but we weren't very competitive (we did go for state, but state here is like just super easy), and all of us were beginners, so we never really got to the higher-level stuff. and plus we only had 2 practices a week for maybe 1/3 or the year, so yeah you get the picture
i was wondering if it would be worth a shot to try our for the women's vb team here – and whether they take 'beginners' or if there is a more relaxed, less serious team for it.
thanks!

Time sure flies, doesn't it? We are about to ring in a brand new year, and as we do so, the release of Grand Theft Auto V is now more than six years old (and is fast approaching five years on PC). Given the time that has elapsed, it is certainly possible (maybe even plausible) that Rockstar Games is deep in development on Grand Theft Auto VI. To that end, a supposed QA tester claims to have the skinny on the next installment.
We should preface this information with a disclaimer. There is no way of knowing if the supposed QA tester is what the person claims to be, or if any of the leaked details are accurate. All we know is that it's been a long time since the last Grand Theft Auto gaming (though Grand Theft Auto Online has been receiving continued updates and support).
What is interesting about the situation, though, is the anonymous source first posted the leak on Reddit, and it was removed by the moderators. It's not clear if perhaps Rockstar Games pressured the mods to take down the content. All that said, let's jump into it.
The folks at Dexerto managed to preserve the post. According to the original poster, the map in GTA VI is "huge" and covers to major cities, those being Carcer City and Vice City. Carcer City is based on Boston, and Vice City is based on Miami.
According to the leaker, GTA V is a "schoolyard playground" compared to the massive map in GTA VI. The leakers says Rockstar Games improved the weather effects and polished things up, borrowing from its experience on Red Dead Redemption 2.
"The map is huge, like stupendously huge, hence the game's emphasis on air travel. It makes GTA 5 look like a schoolyard playground. There is an array of atmospheric effects that bring out the life in everything. Light pollution, hurricane winds, morning fog, etc. I've never seen an open world game this realistic before," the leaker wrote.
Grand Theft Auto V Plane and Traine
Assuming all that is accurate, it would be a good opportunity to inject real-time ray tracing into the mix, though there is no mention of that. Instead, the focus is on the size of the map. The leaker says it's so big that it's "a little awkward traveling from Boston to Miami," in part because there are no other major cities in between them, in the game. Expect a lot of air travel, if that's the case.
The leaker also says GTA VI will again put players in control of multiple characters, just like in GTA V. One of the protagonists is said to be "an undercover cop or something," and other might possibly be a sibling. In addition, the leaker says Rockstar Games "complete revamped" the mission design.
"You can permanently abandon some missions or take different routes that sprout different consequences," the leaker says.

Seriously, what security measures are in effect in Starfleet? It seems like everyone and anyone can take over a Federation Starship. It happens with regularity on every series. It just happened on Strange New Worlds.
How about a good old fashion desk pushed in front of the turbolift doors? Given how easy it is for aliens and robots to take over a ship’s controls you’d think they’d build a simple phaser hardened door they could physically close and lock. Or a escape hole to slide down a jeffries tube and away from the bridge. Explosive charges to blow up all access (including electronics) to and from the bridge? Then transport everyone to a battle bridge somewhere else?
How many times has it happened? Anyone?…Anyone?… Bueller?
