How does selling on vestiaire work

I went to uni, got great marks, an ok job, bought a house with my partner and now we’re living in the suburbs with a mortgage. We’re planning a wedding l, I just applied to a masters program because I don’t like my job and everyday and weekend just feels the same. I am craving excitement and adventure when before I just wanted safety and stability.
I keep watching these travel bloggers on YouTube who travel full time and I am envious. I know it’s not all rainbows and butterflies but it looks like they are truly living and cracked the code to not have to work 9-5 jobs.
One regret I have is that I didn’t go on a group trip around Europe when I had the chance. I’ve travelled to a few places in North America and I feel lucky for that but I’ve been overseas to Europe or Asia.
I want to travel but not just on my 2 week vacation time I get. I want to go for months at a time and buy a van. The problem is my partner doesn’t want to do that. He thinks it’s important to build our life here and I get that but I don’t want to be old and have regrets. I just don’t see how there’s anyway I will be able to travel months on end down the road.

Does anybody remember an episode where Burnie was talking about how his great grandmother lived all the way from electricity, all the way through to the first iphone? I feel like it's a fever dream I had at some point, as I cannot for the life of me find any reference to it on transcripts, the wiki, or on a basic google search. Any historians remember the episode, if indeed it does exist?

And does it?

How do you cope with it?

I’m not sure if this is the right sub for this post but I’m wondering if any other parents in the US are going through this? We are in upstate NY and as I’m typing this a bunch of schools within our area either have gone into lockdown or are in lockdown currently because of some fake active shooter threats that were called in. From what I gather, it happened in other states as well.
I had never even considered homeschool in my life. But as of late, I’m really worried about my kids safety when they’re in school. I can’t tell if I’m being paranoid, or if these fears are justified? I do struggle with anxiety and see a therapist/have been using meditation to work on it.
My children’s school, I think at least, seems pretty safe. All access doors are metal and locked at all times. There are resource officers at all campuses at all times. But for some reason lately it doesn’t seem like “enough” to me.
I do not mean for this to be political in any way. I just want to know if other parents have this anxiety? Did anyone else make the decision to homeschool because of it? If so, how is it going?

Y’all know what kills me, is how these minions will state that we come here and ‘lie’ on their QuEeN c. But yet, anything we post is literally WHAT STANK POSTS HERSELF. We just bring light to the shitty behavior. Something’s working because we got over 30,000 in this group. 🫶🏼👏🏼

In this guide, we will be exploring how to MAXIMIZE the potential of a particular card that doesn't normally see a whole lot of play: Starhound Pack. We're gonna completely disregard meta relevance; the deck doesn't have a consistent win condition, but it's a fun one to try out if you enjoy making big numbers for its own sake.
Star of the Show: Starhound Pack (SP)
4-cost units have a lot of variance in their stat lines, so it's fortunate that SP start off with a decent one. 2 Power isn't good but can be swiftly remedied. 5 health is solid, enough to ensure that SP can pretty safely survive for multiple rounds. SP's effect is related to its only keyword, Fated; SP Fated buffs are shared across all copies of SP, meaning the first time you target each copy of SP each round, all copies of SP everywhere gain +1/+1. With enough fated buffs, copies of SP can snowball their stats and eat Thralls for breakfast. In order to maximize the value of this effect, this deck has two primary functions; target copies of SP repeatedly and make more copies of SP. SP's own region, Targon, can handle most of the work of the first function, while the second will be handled by another region, Piltover & Zaun.
Partner in Crime
Since there aren't many tools for searching copies of SP out of the deck, we usually have to rely on drawing them. Rather than investing into more draw power, we can use another unit that also synergizes with the tools we're using on SP. Appropriately enough, the best ally for our dogs are cats, namely Curious Kitten (CK). CK has a good statline for a 2-cost unit, 2/3, but created copies of CK have GREAT statlines, 4/4, making them cheap and effective tools for both offense and defense. Additionally, their effect to draw on summon helps us search out more copies of SP.
Strategy
Use PnZ copy tools to create additional copies of SP, which will then receive many buffs from Targon targeting tools. If we can't find copies of SP, stall with CK.
Copy Tools
Recommended:

• Iterative Improvement. Hands down the best option, fulfills the two main functions of the deck instantly and tops it off with another +1/+1 to boot. Using on enemy followers is less cool but can be a good option if you're not drawing what you need. Also works well with CK.
• Practical Perfectionist. Helps to search out SP and CK while also making more copies of them.

Optional:

• Shady Character. Like Iterative Improvement, fulfills the two main functions of the deck and can be used to copy enemy followers if necessary, though the cost is awkward and the timing can be taken advantage of.
• Counterfeit Copies. Makes copies, which is what we want, but can easily brick your hand.
• Evil Imperfectionist. Same as above, but with the additional difficulty of being a 4-cost, which the deck already has too many of. Has a decent statline. Note: Counterfeit Copies and Evil Imperfectionist are best used in combination since they both make exact copies, so they can make the most of Evil Imperfectionist's cost-reduction effect. For example, using Iterative Improvement on a CK, then using Evil Imperfectionist on that CK effectively shuffles 4 Enraged Yetis into your deck that each draw 1 on summon.

Not Recommended:

• Discreet Invitation. You're really not that desperate for more copies of Shady Character, and Chempunk Shredder isn't that useful.
• Parade Electrorig. Too slow at making copies to be useful. Maybe if it had a better statline.
• Chief Mechanist Zevi. Too expensive, too awkward, especially in combination with CK.
• Hextech Transmogulation. Too expensive, too situational.

Target Tools
Recommended

• Gift Giver, Mountain Goat. SP like Gems for the extra power and taking advantage of their big Health values.
• Guiding Touch. SP like the healing, the draw is quite nice, and can be used on your Nexus in a pinch.
• Celestial Blessing, Purifying Flames. If you want to put more focus on CK, use these in combination with Counterfeit Copies and Evil Imperfectionist. If you're nuts, throw Destiny's Call in there too.

Optional

• Lunari Cultist. Good if you want more Gems and like using Equipment, but 1/3's a bad statline for a 2-cost.
• Pale Cascade. Draw power good, Nightfall timing's not that hard to play around. Gets better if used with Taric.
• Wandering Shepherd. Was recommended before the Health nerf. Still very good, SP like to have new keywords.
• The Darkin Harp. Quick Attack's not a great keyword for SP but isn't unwelcome, and Styraatu can be useful in longer games.
• Iula. Spellshield and Overwhelm and both good for SP.
• Blinded Mystic. Silence is good.
• Bastion. Good for countering removal and combo-ing with Taric, but too expensive for a lot of scenarios actually. It's usually ok to lose a SP to a removal spell, you can just make more copies. Consider The Expanse's Protection if you like Equipment.

Not Recommended

• Mentor of the Stones, Shards of the Mountain, Freed Colossus. Too expensive and slow at making Gems.
• The Darkin Lodestone. Doesn't do much for SP.
• Astral Protection. SP absolutely do not need that much more Health.
• Any targeting spell that only grant stats.

Champions
Treat Champions as support or a backup plan rather than a core part of the deck.
Recommended

• Taric. Probably the best option, gets more value out of target tools.

Optional

• Pantheon. Reliably levels up thanks to target tools, but you want to be using those tools on SP rather than him.
• Soraka. Level up is feasible if you take a lot of Gem generation. Draw power is nice, healing makes SP's big health even better, but doesn't synergize with most of the deck.
• Kayle. Usually won't accomplish much, but can be a potent finisher in longer games.

Not Recommended

• Victor. Too slow.
• Yuumi. Redundant.
• Ekko. Bad.

And that's the guide! Pick your preferred options and give it a try. Here's the version I've been using:

Recently I started getting into makeup. The main reason is to cover my acne and redness. I'm currently just doing my normal skincare and dabbing some maybelline fit me concealer, no setting spray and anything else cause I'm not sure if those are necessary. There's a few problems which I encounter. 1. concealer does not provide that much coverage. I don't wanna put too much and end up looking cakey. 2. I have a few acne that dried up and putting concealer shows dry and flakey edges on my acne. Any other solution except just moisturising/exfoliating?? 3. How do I make my makeup look smooth?? Is it normal for makeup to look powdery instead of dewy/smooth?

Oh I’m so glad I found this sub Reddit. My 4 yo has an extremely difficult time with their hair being brushed still and I feel like I’ve tried everything I can think of or find online. Does anyone have things that have worked for their children who are on the spectrum?

We go to different classes in the same school. We went out three times now. Twice just for a coffee after school and one time for a dinner. We even agreed on being each other's dates for prom. Hers is in a week. I am going to meet her parents there.
Everything is great except one thing: My brain goes blank during conversations. The only thing I can think of is how I have nothing to say. The only advice I ever get is: "Just talk about anyhing". Well that's the problem, that "anything" doesn't come to me naturally. This is not a problem just with her, this happens with my other friends aswell. I can listen to someone talk for hours, but when they ask me something or I have to start talking about some topic, I just can't. I feel really awkward after that, they keep starting to talk about some topic and the conversations keep dying.
Messaging isn't any better either. But this isn't just on my side. She never checks her messages. My friends warned me about it, she doesn't check theirs either. This just makes me feel insecure. I think she doesn't feel the need to check my messages. That could be true, but I am told she doesn't check anyones.
Still, after all that I really like her and would love to keep persuing a relationship with her. I feel I can work on my talking skills and really want to get better at it, I just need some actual meaningful advice on how to do so.
TL;DR My thoughts go blank during conversations and I don't know what to say. I feel this is a problem for both my love life and my relations with friends.

And does it?

So my HA is integrated with Alexa and is working fine. I can use Alexa to flip switches and turn lights on using purely my HA integration. No other IoT skills exist on my amazon account other than the one that you have to create as part of link the systems togther.
Mostly things seem to work, but for some reason, some devices seem to be impossible to get info via it. I have zigbee temp and humidity sensors, and these are in the areas in HA, and each room is basically an area. One such device is called "Master Bedroom Thermostat". After adding this device, it then creates a "Master Bedroom Thermostat Temperature" and a "Master Bedroom Thermostat Humidity".
When that device is added to the Area "Master Bedroom", then lovelace does the handy thing, and strips the area name from the entity when displaying, yet the device name is still the same.
The problem comes, when I ask Alexa "whats the temperature in the master bedroom", it responds and says, "Master bedroom light does not support that".
Is this because of the naming? How should this work?

Hi, so I’ve got a problem where I keep attaching myself to anyone of the opposite sex who’s nice to me, it’s becoming too much, example, I’m a gamer, I played a couple games with someone earlier who lives in another country, I don’t know what they look like, I don’t know their name, but I’m now feeling an attachment, I’ve also got an attachment to someone else who I haven’t seen since highschool (10 years ago) but we’ve been talking as friends for a couple days now, I am not expressing these feelings as I know it’ll become a lot worse if I do, I’m happy to have these people as friends, I obviously want something more with the person I went to school with but I really, really don’t want to ruin a friendship or worse, hurt another person, I do have the love bombing problem, I’m a professional at hurting others, does anyone have any tips on how to get these feelings to leave?

First off, I live my life on a basis where I do not mix work with my real life activities or experiences.
If I work with someone 40 hours a week, I do not want to spend time with them outside of work, the thought of it irks me.
When I'm off work I want to spend time with my girlfriend, my friends, my family.
My colleagues seem to think this is weird behaviour, it's challenged daily that I don't interact with my colleagues outside of work, that I avoid work nights out eating together etc.
The solution is simple, 'ignore them' but it's never that easy do you guys have this problem? How is your approach?

Help Wanted: MDD + ADHD Combo
I (21 F) officially dx with MDD and have been with my partner (22 M), who is also officially dxwith ADHD. We’ve been together for a significantly long time now. We’ve been adamant about mental health ever since the start of the relationship. We were a bit broke of money before that’s why we couldn’t afford therapy, but now, we see to it that we meet our own therapists diligently.
I just need help on how to deal with my partner. I would like to understand how adhd affects an individual from the perspective of partners who are in the same boat as me. I cherish my relationship with my partner so much. It’s just been quite tough for me because I feel like my partner is in his own space and that whenever I try to open something, I feel not as heard. This has been kind of affecting me because it feeds my anxiety.
The dynamic between MDD and ADHD is so difficult for me, but I am willing to go the extra mile to make this work.

It’s always the big question I get when I talk to SPEs from other art units. But I also noticing that more of our veteran primaries are retiring and as an experienced junior it worries me.
So I wanted to share why I am not a primary yet and start the conversation, knowing that management probably reads this and is wondering the same damn thing. Also I couldn’t get to the PEER group so here goes.
1) The program is too damn hard.
To be honest, I have years upon years of office actions you can look at and see my quality of work- several accolades and a near perfect BOA record. I don’t want to have to be evaluated on some kind of arbitrary time frame. A year and a half of me being angry at my family because of this stress is not worth it. Consider evaluating my work now- and tell me if I qualify for partial sig (automatically, because auto counting was a thing!) and then put me on a program for full sig instead if I choose to.
2) GS-14 workload is too much.
I really don’t want to have to drop down to part time just to be fully successful. Right now, I work a little OT and I’m happy. It makes life easier and I do feel like I have more control over my life.
But to be fair- the PAP makes quality so much more work with the scope of the art that we have to deal with as a result of tech improvement (controllers and AI). Not to mention issues with CPC and issues with poor docketing. We need more regular new cases for me to even consider this.

1. Pay is not commensurate with experience and the lack of comp time earning is also not helping.

Considering that I am looking at patent agent jobs in the 200-300k range in my art, at 15k bump is not worth it. Moreover, I can’t work comp time?
If you can’t pay me extra but I end up working extra: consider allowing us to earn extra comp time instead. There is a lot of talk about work life balance but no one has actually evaluated the fact that this work never ends. So the only kind of balance is being able to take full weeks off for docket management pauses and mental health breaks. During this time, as a primary I would still love to review other peoples cases.
But comp time. Why do we have to put limits on how much we earn at a GS-14 when there is already a cap on how much we can keep?

1. I really personally like the safety net of people reviewing my cases or having a person to chat with about tricky cases.

Even with my experience: I might just lack confidence. I think if directors looked at examiners that should be primaries and give them a heads up to just become them at the GS-13 level, it shouldn’t be that hard.
Finally: I think we should have primaries that just sign and review cases. The pressure of production with this job is unhealthy in the long run. But maybe a detail for each art unit to do just reviewing would be good and would encourage people to become spes in the end.
Hope I’m not the only one in this boat but also that the office seriously considers this or that people give feedback on how realistic/unrealistic this is.

All over Youtube, dynasty outlets are relaying that London is now a major sell high just because his KTC value is at wr10-11… Would reckon that the community has just caught up with the buy low and that’s why his value is so high.
The argument that he’s in a run first offense is true but he’s also only competing with an underutilized Pitts (The Offensive staff hasn’t changed ?). As well he started to put up good numbers once Ridder was starting, I get Pitts was out, But if anything, Mariota was holding him back. If London had 1K yards, maybe 1-2 more games with Ridder, I feel a lot of people would be all in on the value he holds.
Feels way too soon to be selling your London shares just because he didn’t have 150 more yards on the season with a QB who is now a back up. Sure, Ridder can be doubted on but I’m going to take Ridder over Mariota. And if Ridder doesn’t work out we’ve seen Heinicke get Terry Mclaurin the ball.
Anyways, what do you guys think on people now claiming to sell high on London ?

My roommate is a 23-year-old banker. He works insane hours at insane times - most of the time, I have no idea how he does it. He is currently fueled by coffee and nicotine, as are many of his peers. This is an unhealthy, unsustainable lifestyle, but my other roommates and I are trying to devise a concoction to help him power through those intensive financial modeling sessions.
We have started with Yerba Mate tea from our local tea shop, but we are finding the drop in caffeine is not feasible for someone who needs to go for 3-4 hours before taking a break.
What else can we add to the drink to make it have more of a "kick" and last longer? Celsius is an excellent example of something we are looking for, but it can sometimes be too intense. We were thinking of a non-prescriptive extended-release Adderall.

I was walking home during the school run pick up just now with my kid and happened to be walking with 3 other moms I know, and all our kids. The one Mom I have more in common with and like to chat to her more than the other two, but today... I just couldn't be bothered to really talk.. I was walking with them all, and she was asking me stuff.. but I was sort of zoned out and didn't know what to reply and started getting flustered (she was only asking if my kid wants to go the cinema with hers and who will take them (the dads) and what day) but it was all a bit much, at one point I said to my Son, yes got it all sorted for you to go swimming.. no I mean.. (couldn't think for ages).. the cinema! I was surrounded by noisey kids and in a group and yeah, I feel really rude and must have come across as moody and unsociable and a bit hard work to get a conversation out of me compared to how I usually am. I feel sort of, spaced out. When I left the house initially to walk to school to collect my child I felt spaced out, sort of like, what day is it, am I leaving at the right time, have I deffo got trousers on.. (looked down to check!).. I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD, I have posted up recently and only just joined this group as I suspect I have it, but I am interested to see if this sounds like an ADHD trait and anyone can relate to feeling like this. I'm usually ok and can keep a conversation going for the 5 minute walk, but today that 5 mins felt soo long and my brain couldn't think of words. She was looking at me weird!
