Background: 29F, 5’8”, 230lbs, white, smoker, no illicit drug use, moderate alcohol use. Medications: levothyroxine 50mcg, Effexor 37.5mg, topiramate 200mg, abilify 10mg, guanfacine 3mg, Focalin 25mg, Lipitor 20mg, Kyleena IUD Diagnosed conditions: fibromyalgia, PCOS, hypothyroid, ADHD, Hidradenitis suppurativa, Hypercholesteremia Information: I get IV ketamine infusions for chronic pain (fibromyalgia). Before the infusion starts, I am given IV promethazine and toradol to prevent nausea and migraines. On March 27th, they started an IV in my left hand. I remember them being unsure about the vein, trying a saline flush, and saying it was “giving resistance”. But they decided to try to give the promethazine (not sure about the toradol) directly into the port in my hand. It immediately started badly burning all the way up my forearm and I asked them to stop. They flushed it with saline and that burned badly too. We wound up doing the rest of the infusion in a different vein in my other arm. A few days later, I noticed pain and swelling in the vein the promethazine was given in. After a few more days, three lumps started forming in the vein, one quite large one (in picture 2), a smaller one above that, and another small one on my wrist bone. Redness (in picture 1) of surrounding skin also comes and goes. This issue has only been getting more swollen and painful over the past two months. I saw a NP for this today and she did an X-ray which showed nothing abnormal. She was concerned it may be a blood clot and I’m wondering if others agree. She wants me to get an ultrasound as well, but I can’t get in for this for some time. I’m concerned that if it is a clot, it could migrate/ become dislodged and cause further problems. Is this concern warranted (especially considering I smoke and am on birth control?) Is this something that can wait more time than it already has, or should I be more assertive here or something? Thanks in advance for any help/ advice!

About us; This project has started recently. A team with individually experienced players. IGL has experience building a team that went into ESEA Intermediate and reached some finals. We're currently looking to rebuild the team as the previous one fell apart. Our plan is to build a team until we're satisfied with the line-up, we're planning on doing a lot of practice and tournaments until Source 2 comes out, this way we will be consistent, in top shape and have a wide stratbook going into Source 2 and we then just need to adapt the gameplans to the new mechanics. We then play other leagues such as ESEA, SCL, etc... We currently also have an organisation backing us that will fund mostly all entry fee's, social media coverage, casters for matches, etc...
IGL Vision; - most of the times you will be given a position in the T and CT defaults, this is due to the IGL believing certain roles should play certain positions in general - T vision; map control, spacing & trading - CT vision; rotation, re-aggression & info plays
We've achieved in the past months; - Volpid Series Semi-Finals - FlyHigh Finals - Authority Semi-Finals - Top #100 RMR qualifiers - SCL Intermediate (+ play-offs) - SCL Masters - ESEA Play-offs 2x
Players; ajax - 3400 elo, 2x ESEA Intermediate, 3x SCL Intermediate, 1x SCL Masters, Finalist in several leagues. szicko - 3200 elo, 1x ESEA Play-offs, Finalist in several leagues.
Available Roles: (we don't want PUG players, we want people able to work together in a system!) - Second Entry: T: play as support early in rounds so that you can survive to entry late round, in set-strats you will be the first entry as the IGL is the main entry but prefers to throw utility in set-strats so that he can get a better read for future rounds. in default rounds he will be the first entry. CT: preferably rotation but anchor is also fine. - Star Rifler: T: basically just help take map control / maintain map control, late round responsibility is throwing utility for the execute or going in as the third/fourth player entering a site. CT: you will be ending up playing as many Star Rifle positions as possible, there could be situations where we will swap it up if it's not working out but other wise we will try and stick towards the positions given based on the role. - Lurker: T: you will be second caller considering you are on the opposite side of the map compared to the rest of the team meaning you can have amazing reads. you will have decent amount of freedom but still will have to work with structure and protocols. CT: preferably an anchor but rotation is also fine.
Requirements; - Faceit 2500 elo - Active Duty map knowledge - Calm & likeable personality - Decent at speaking English - Availability starting from 7pm CET or earlier until at least 12am
What you can expect from us; - 5-6x practice a week - International line-up - Dedicated players - Goal orientated practice
Apply Here, we will add you on Discord if we are interested in you. Need more information? DM me in Discord ajax#3685
Pease do not add me on Steam, just DM me on Discord instead. If you have no questions then just wait for us to add you, we will add you on Discord if we are interested.

1998 Explorer 4.0l SOHC.
The issue:
Groaning while going forward or backward, sounds like a deep grinding, or theres a lot of friction. The ABS light is on most of the time since last night. I've had some wheel speed sensors starting to go, but the most they ever did was generate a chittering in the brake pedal every so often.
Now however without brake appplication it sounds like a caliper is stuck on, and I have an ABS light. I decided to pull the three fuses for the ABS module, the 50a, 30a in the power distribution, and the 10a in the cab fuse box. No change- ABS light on at startup this time, as well as groaning and popping/squeeking while braking still there.
The noise gets louder and higher pitch as you increase in speed, and quieter and deeper as you come to a stop. Don't have a code reader, but any ideas? Obviously somewhere in the braking system.
I was thinking without the ABS fuses, if its the wheel speed sensors really going haywire this should all come to a stop, but with or without ABS it doesn't seem to matter. Problem began last night.

Hey there, I am a first-time dog owner. I got Merlin (8y) from a rescue when he was 2 years old and I just love him so much. What I wanted to ask was, how do you cope with worrying about your dog? Maybe I am just too sensitive and am worrying too much, but he, his health and happiness are constantly on my mind. For example, about one or two months ago he was not really motivated for his usual walk. I have a "small round" of about 30 minutes and a "long round" of about 1,5h. Most of the time he pulls me towards the long round, but at said time, he did it almost never. I went to the vet with him and got his blood checked (he had some issues with low white blood cells exactly a year ago, which we never found a reason for, it just went back to normal) and his blood was alright. Again his white blood cells were lower than normal but they were similar to last year when they were on their way back to normal. He also had a problem with his stomach (the vet guessed reflux) because he had times were he was constantly licking and smacking his lips for about 30 minutes non-stop. Now he got his motivation back in the morning and likes his long round again. But during the day and in the evening I have to persuade him to go and then he only wants to walk shorter than is short round. But now he does not want to eat his wet food. I offer him food in the morning after the first walk and in the evening after his last walk. If he does not eat his food after ~15 minutes I take it away so it does not stand there the whole day. Around noon I try giving it to him again, sometimes with a little lactose-free milk, as he normally loves that. Today he did not even want that and he only ate his food after I handfed him some pieces. Now in the evening, I put down a fresh portion of food and he did not eat it again. These phases of not eating are not new to me but I worry every damn time. They normally last a few days and after that it is back to normal.
I know this was a lot to read and I probably sound like a total hypochondriac but I am so scared to overlook some clues that something is wrong with him. I just want him to be happy and healthy😔 How do you cope with the worrying and the not knowing?
Thanks for reading🫶

Spritz Finance lets you easily use your crypto for everyday expenses. They currently offer a virtual debit card, crypto-wallet-to-bank transfer, bill payment using crypto and paying anyone to his/her bank using crypto.
Right now, if you sign up through my referral link and fund your Spritz virtual debit card with $50 or more with your crypto, you get $50 instantly! You can shop with your Spritz card or transfer your money to CashApp. There is also a separate promotion that rewards you a $10 matching bonus for your 1st payment for EVERY bill you have! I was able to score $110 total, for paying $10 each for all my 11 different credit cards.
Plus, I will personally thank you by sending you $10 for using my referral, upon payout confirmation!
Spritz accepts several kinds of crypto, but I recommend using MATIC (Polygon) because its transactions are dirt cheap (5-10 cents each time) and fast (seconds). Do use MATIC on Polygon Mainnet, NOT MATIC that's ERC-20 on Ethereum chain (Learn more). I'll be using MATIC throughout this guide, though you can use any supported crypto.
---
To Get $50 Referral Bonus + $10 From Me:

1. Sign up for Spritz Finance using my referral link: https://app.spritz.finance/signup?grsf=iytq7z
2. Verify your identity to finish your account set up.
3. If you don't have a crypto wallet yet, set one up. I recommend Metamask, and you can follow this guide.
4. From a crypto exchange, send at least $53 worth of MATIC (Polygon) to Metamask. Make sure you're withdrawing to Polygon mainnet, NOT to Ethereum/ERC-20. You want to have extra room of $3+ in MATIC for paying transaction fees later and $1 extra when withdrawing your bonus credit. Make the send amount $53 + $10 x number of your bills, in MATIC, if you are going for the bill-pay bonuses as well. You can read my tips section for how to transfer your crypto the same day and saving $ on fees when sending your MATIC.
5. Back on your Spritz page, press "Spend" to set up your Spritz virtual debit card.
6. Click "Fund with Crypto" and connect your wallet (Metamask etc.). Select/switch to Polygon network at the top of the screen.
7. Enter $50 or more for the funding amount. Remember, you'll want to leave $3+ worth of MATIC in your wallet.
8. Press "Fund with M" and confirm in your wallet to finalize your transaction.
9. You'll see $50 added to your "bonus credit" INSTANTLY!
10. DM me and tell me the email address you registered with Spritz. Upon confirmation of both our payouts, I will send you $10 via CashApp, PayPal etc.

In Step 5, you can choose "Off-ramp" instead to cash out $50+ your crypto to your bank account to qualify for the $50 referral bonus.
To Get The $10 Bill-Pay Bonus Many Times Over:

1. Within 7 days of signup, go to "Pay" at screen-top to begin a bill-pay.
2. Add an account to pay. You can add a variety of bills including credit card and utility bills.
3. Press "Pay with crypto", connect your wallet and enter at least $10. The max matching bonus of $10 is added in the final amount.
4. Press "Pay with M" and confirm to send the payment.
5. Repeat the steps above for other bills. You get $10 for making your 1st bill payment for EVERY bill you have! I got $110 total for paying off 11 different credit cards :) If your credit card balance is zero, you'll just get $20 statement credit for use later on!

How To Withdraw/Use Your Bonus Credit:
You can use your bonus credit in one of the following ways:

1. Top up your Spritz card to shop with it <--- (You can transfer to CashApp)
2. "Off-ramp" payment (transferring crypto to your bank)
3. Pay a bill
4. Pay someone

Press "Apply" to apply your "reward balance". Do note that you do have to add minimum of $1 in MATIC for one of these transaction.
Tips On Moving Your Crypto (MATIC etc.) To Your Wallet:
Coinbase is a great choice if you're starting out with crypto because it's easy to use. But Coinbase and many other exchanges will make you wait a few days until you can withdraw your crypto you buy from regular ACH bank transfer. If you want to buy and withdraw crypto the same day, try this method:

1. Buy bitcoin with debit card in Strike app (cheap fee)
2. Send bitcoin to an exchange (cheap fee)
3. Buy MATIC with bitcoin on exchange
4. Send MATIC to Metamask

This page lists exchanges with low withdrawal fees for MATIC. Kraken and Crypto .com are good choices.

Spritz charges you nothing if your monthly total transaction is below $100. After that, you start to incur small fees. See Fee Table.
Spritz' referral program is described here (clarification: funding Spritiz card IS a qualifying bill payment).
Spritz' bill-payment bonus is described here.

Following the signing of a second multiyear fixed-price offtake sales agreement priced at US$625/MCF for the remaining capacity from its helium processing facility at Steveville, Royal Helium (RHC.v RHCCF) has announced a $7.0M bought deal convertible debenture private placement with Eight Capital to finalize the funding for its Steveville Production Plant.
President and CEO of RHC, Andrew Davidson, commented:

“We are pleased to have secured the funding required to both complete the final preparation of the Steveville plant, inclusive of all associated midstream and logistics costs, and to advance exploration activities in Saskatchewan and Alberta. We are excited to initiate our cash flow engine at Steveville which was recently enhanced by the signing of a 2nd offtake contract at a price of US$625/MCF."

With the second offtake agreement, RHC has essentially sold 99.99% of the production from the facility before it has even gone into production, plus, this contract is ~39% above the value of the first contract, meaning 39% more revenue for the same product at the same cost of production.

I just noticed these bumps appearing on my face, and weren't sure how I got them. I generally keep my face clean, and I don't think I got them while shaving because some of them are in the area between my eyebrows and I didn't shave there recently. Does this look like an STD or is this something else? I already tried going to the ER and they didn't even look at it and won't give tests for STDs so that's out. And I currently have no time to just go to see a doctor because I'm so busy with work. Does anyone have any idea what this could be, does it look like any STD or just some skin issue like normal skin irritation or an allergic breakout or something?

i was able to get someone who helped me get some info and access to call logs and even phone conversations, WhatsApp, Facebook, text messages, that I needed for proof of her secretive affair. The first time we spoke, we had a very long phone consultation in which he gave me all my options that he could think of to resolve my case and he even recommended I tried other options before requesting for his services. I decided to hire him and I am glad I did. They are also expert with recover of scam funds and investment funds.

I will never understand this process of doing appointments for the VA. A few weeks ago I put in a new claim, I was told specifically if I cancel any appointments, I’d lose the ability to have my claim rolling forward. I started a brand new job and the first day I start I get a text saying my appointment was the same damn day, I called out against my better judgement THE FUCKING CLINIC CALLS ME TO CANCEL ON ME. My new boss was cool he just wanted me to start when I could. Fast forward until yesterday I get a text saying the appointment was rescheduled for next week. I want to trust the process but damn it’s taking a toll.

I hate it. I hate when I wake up. I hate having to study and work for a living. I hate puting on a façade when talking to other people so they don't avoid me. I hate my body, my mind, my purposelessness. It's all so fake, so devoid of meaning, so... tiring. Being born was the worst thing that ever happened to me, after that it's only been a series of increasingly horrible events. Why do I have to keep making an effort just to get through another shitty day? Oh, that's right, because this world doesn't care if you're miserable, you just have to deal with it or end up left behind.
I've always dreamed of a hero that I know will never come to my aid, some miraculous person able to heal my hatred for this rotten world and make my pain go away. But there is no miracle. My pain is mine and mine alone, no one can help me change it, no one can help me defeat it. And yet, every night I go to bed, I still think of that hero tending their hand to me, waking me from the neverending nightmare, because I still want that glimpse of hope. But if there is no hero coming to the rescue, why hold out at all? Why not surrender? The pain will never be worth it if there's no end to it. And there will be no end to it. The hero isn't real, just as God isn't real. And even if a deity capable of helping me existed, it has already forsaken me.
Everyone and everything forsakes me in the end, always. First they killed my inner child, after that my faith in the world, then they got rid of my passions, my hopes, my dreams, and now, finally, there is only left an empty, heartbroken, closed-off carcass that used to be a person. A carcass that will not be saved. A carcass with no future.
I just hate living so fucking much.

This is my first time trying to make a actual narrative for the post itself, and it'll act as a bit of context for the rp, should you choose to give me a bit of your time.
[Recently, you'd gotten your hands a bit dirty by doing various jobs for an agency who have stayed anonymous. They hire you, you do your job, you get paid well, so you've never exactly really cared who they are.]
[Though, this time, they gave you a different job. Hunt down a specified entity, and return them to the agency in a "healthy state and a timely manner." The mention of a "healthy state" was odd. What was even more odd was they paid extra, and even some up front.]
[Well, it was easy enough figuring out where he was hiding. Some old, abandoned broken down mall in the downtown area. It was dark and rainy out, so you didn't mind the excuse of getting to get out of the rain.]
[You manage to get through the doors with a bit of effort. You flick on your flashlight and glance around, the sound of water falling coming from generally all directions, why wouldn't it. As you press deeper into the mall, examining each abandoned shop closely, you do notice that there are few things out of place, and they seem to be recent.]
[You're on the right track.]
I hope that snippet of story is good enough for whoever may be reading this! If you wish to rp, hit me up in my dm's, and I'll probably respond shortly.

Hi! Hope anyone can advise, we will be taking my girl to the vets in the morning. Species: domestic cat Age: 10 weeks Sex: female- not spayed yet Weight- over 1kg History: none. Heath check (all clear) and first vaccinations one week ago on 27/05/23 Clinical signs: Sleeping all day from 10am this morning, generally a bit off. From 7pm she developed a limp in front paw, will let me touch all over. Meows when pressure is put on the paw (when she walks) Duration: 10hs seeming off, 1:30 hours limping Location: England
Eating ok, has pooped once and wee’d three times today. Just not moving and playing as normal. Wondering if it could be a vaccine effect but it has been 6 days since she was vaccinated, seemed to be in slight pain in the 24 hours after vaccination. Completely indoor cat and always supervised apart from roughly 6 hours at night. Currently sleeping.

As the QSBS exception is either $10M or 10X the cost basis, I am trying to increase the cost basis of my founder stock from $0 to $15M.
Step 1: Register my startup as an LLC now (when the company is valued at $0) and I retain 100% ownership.
Step 2: In 3 months (roughly) when I take on outside funding, I convert my LLC to C-Corp. Because of Section 351, this conversion will not be a taxable event.
Step 3: At the time of conversion, the tax basis is equal to the FMV of the interest held in the LLC that is exchanged for ownership in the C-Corp. So, for a founder even though I did not infuse any capital, my cost basis will be my ownership percentage of the LLC’s FMV at the time of conversion. At the time of conversion, the fair market value of the LLC that is being contributed to the C-Corp will be $15M (assumed pre-money valuation). FMV for a startup can be very close to the pre-money valuation in 409a analysis, that I used to do in my past life.
Step 4: After five years and three months, when I sell my company, my QSBS exemption will be $150M (10X of $15M)
I will reach out to a tax advisor before incorporating my company as the prospect of dramatically increasing the QSBS exemption is very tempting.
But I want to hear any thoughts people may have on this. Feel free to poke holes or ask questions. Thank you for your help!
​
Background research:
Per this article (https://frostbrowntodd.com/maximizing-the-section-1202-gain-exclusion-amount/), the LLC to C-Corp conversion allows the QSBS exemption to be as high as $500M.
Relevant section from the article:
“The enterprise value (which includes goodwill value) of start-ups can increase dramatically during the early years of operation. This creates a potential planning opportunity involving operating a start-up as a partnership for several years and then incorporating the partnership and in the process, issuing QSBS to the partners in exchange for their partnership interests. Both a partnership’s assets and partnership interests qualify as a property that can be contributed by a partnership or LLC to a C corporation (generally in a Section 351 exchange) in exchange for QSBS.
The planning opportunity afforded through the incorporation of a partnership arises out of the fact that for Section 1202 gain exclusion purposes, the tax basis of property contributed in exchange for QSBS is deemed to be the fair market value of the property at the time of contribution. If a partnership is incorporated, the enterprise value of the partnership’s business would generally be treated as the fair market value of the contributed property. So, if the owners of a business decide to operate a start-up through an LLC or limited partnership and incorporate the business only after the enterprise value has increased substantially, the 10X Basis Cap could substantially increase the owners’ aggregate gain exclusion.
Section 1202 also provides that when appreciated property is contributed in exchange for QSBS, the difference between the tax basis of the property and its fair market value for Section 1202 purposes does not qualify for the gain exclusion when the QSBS is eventually sold.
Here is an example of how the 10X Basis Cap works when a partnership is converted to a C corporation and QSBS is issued to the partners. If John Smith and Susan Jones operate their business as equal owners in the early years through XYZ LLC, and incorporate the business when the fair market value of XYZ LLC’s business is $25 million, each of them will have a $112.5 million (10 x $12.5 million – $12.5 million) gain exclusion under Section 1202 when they sell their XYZ Corp. QSBS after five years. Contrast this result with an example where John Smith and Susan Jones each initially capitalize XYZ Corp. with $50,000 and sell their QSBS for $250 million after seven years. In this second example, each of John Smith and Susan Jones gain exclusion would be limited to the standard $10 Million Cap."
