# This subreddit will be joining in on the June 12th-14th protest of Reddit's API changes that will essentially kill all 3rd party Reddit apps.
## What's going on?
A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
## What's the plan?
On June 12th, [many subreddits](https://old.reddit.com/ModCoord/comments/1401qw5/incomplete_and_growing_list_of_participating/) will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
**The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.**
## What can you do as a user?
* Complain. Message the mods of /reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /reddit, such as [this one](https://www.reddit.com/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/), leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to [this post.](https://www.reddit.com/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/13yh0jf/dont_let_reddit_kill_3rd_party_apps/)
* Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join the coordinated mod effort at /ModCoord.
* Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
* Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

My guest room has been a doom room for several years at this point. It is an unholy mess and I have to tackle it. Every time I get it to some semblance of acceptable it just takes a few weeks (or days) to get it back to something apocalyptic. I have had organized closet/dressing areas before, so clearly the set up is not working for me. This whole house honestly is an ADHD nightmare but I can’t move so I need to figure out something I can live with.
Please read, critique, and share your favorite closet organizing method/item/trick/magic spell.
Here’s my plan so far:
1) I am going to order a garment rack from Amazon and hope that I can get it finished in 30 days and return it after or sell it on Craigslist. I’m going to first get everything I own off the floor and other surfaces. It has a rack below that I can store shoes as well
2) PURGE
3) PURGE MORE
4) Remove the existing guts of my closet. It is the most awkward space and the worst set up. I hate it.
5) Get temporary Amazon closet guts that can be easily rearranged. I found some tension rod ones that look really promising. I can play around with placement and configurations and see what works best for me. There are also shoe cabinets that can be used for shoes or as shelving. So as I figure out what I like folded vs hanged I can make space either way.
6) Once I accomplish a stretch of working organization, either live with the cheap stuff if it isn’t too much of an eyesore or look for a permanent approximation that is more durable/higher quality.
I think the biggest thing is that my underwear and pajamas are in a dresser and my clothes are in a closet that is awkwardly behind it. So I need to get those things in the closet so that I am forced to go into the closet every day. If I’m in there I will be more likely to use it rather than just the floordrobe. I think I will put heavy knits and other less often used stuff in the dresser. Obviously my work clothes and favorite lounge stuff should be the easiest to hang up and put away. I’m thinking leggings, underthings, and work out wear I can organize in hanging shoe cubbies. I’m thinking of pairing all my misc sleep tops and bottoms so the can be folded or rolled together. I want to avoid rummaging as much as possible.
Fin! That’s all I’ve got so far.

So to make a long story short, I bought an ASUS 3060 GPU back in February. Right from the get go it was bad, but I needed to keep it until after a DLC release. In April I RMAed it after extensive troubleshooting and got a replacement. Now the replacement is acting weird too.
I'm at a point where I'm getting fed up with this card and instead want to switch cards. If that still doesn't fix things, then it's my Asus monitors.
Now with the current Amazon sales, I could get an MSI 3060 for cheaper than what I spent on my Asus card, or I could spend extra to get a 3070.
The 3070 has less VRAM sure, but it at least apears to have options for GPU blocks, the issue is, idk if GPU blocks only fit 3 fan cards or if they can be used for 2 fan cards as well.
I'm using an MATX build so a dual fan GPU fits with enough room to spare for a reservoir. I have an AIO for my CPU and that's about the extent on my liquid cooling knowledge. I'm looking to get into a custom loop because even with 2 fans and a breathable case, my GPU is hitting temps of 76-82c in some games, though runs 10C cooler in 3D mark.
Before anyone asks or suggests it: I'M NOT INTERESTED IN GETTING THE 40 SERIES. Not only can I not afford it, but I don't want to max out my PSU (850W) and I don't want power connectors to melt.
Basically what I'm asking is this: should I get another 3060 to replace this weird one or should I get a 3070 (and if so would a 3070 GPU block still work on a 2 fan GPU)?
Thanks

Open Letter regarding API pricing

Hey all!
Recently attended a local board game re-sale event in the Nashville area. I was ecstatic to find a copy of Mysterium, a game we've been wanting to try for a while for only $20! Upon getting home and unboxing, I was even more thrilled to find the game components were still in plastic and never played!
​
Until...I go to set up the game for a mock run through (I do this to try to better understand a new game) and find that the Object Psychic Cards (37-54) were completely missing. To say I was devastated would be an understatement. We bought this game with family coming to town in hopes of having a new game to hit the table with!
No, I do not know the seller to reach back out unfortunately and to my understanding individual parts can not be purchased as replacement, nor does the company reimburse or assist in the matter. I did also discover that this doesn't seem uncommon for this game to be missing a component in one way or another which is upsetting.
All that said, does anyone have a copy they're willing to part with for maybe $20? I understand Amazon has it for about $45 but if I can still manage to complete my set for another $20 without having to spend another $45 I would be grateful. I have a couple games that we're willing to part with I'd be happy to trade as well in return if thats of interest....
Thanks in advance!

Open Letter regarding API pricing

Hello. "Back in the day", you could visit physical shops to try headphones. Now, with online shopping, lots of those shops have disappeared, at least in my town. Amazon has made it more difficult to return headphones that are not to your liking. I understand that to some degree, they want to cut down on returns because they are costly. The last set of headphones I bought from amazon came in a box that was obviously previously opened. I should have returned them immediately, but I already returned two models that I didn't like (Under the excuse that they didn't "work", but really they didn't work the way I wanted them to.) and I needed the head phones for work. So I took a chance, and in about a month I regretted doing so.
So, where do you go for headphone reviews? Where do you buy headphones or sites that you go to to buy headphones? Is there sites that have generous return policy? I prefer not having to pay to return phones, but I don't mind shelling out a nominal fee to return headphones; I'd consider it the research price to pay to find the perfect cans.
Thanks.

I looked at some older posts across reddit but found the comment sections to not be very helpful. The main thing I learned is that people seem to prefer the smoke board method over the toppers (though the sample size is pretty small).
I was thinking of picking up this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L5LTSHC/
Not sure if there are better kits that are relatively around $100 or if it's be better to make a custom kit.

I bought this set of router bits off amazon but I didn't realize until after it arrived that all of the shanks are 1/4" rather than 1/2". I'm just getting in to routing, so I'm not sure if 1/2" shanks are really that superior to 1/4" shanks. I'm just a hobbyist, so I don't really need anything all too industrial. Should I keep the set or return it and try to find a comparable set with 1/2" shanks? Thanks in advance!

TLDR; This subreddit will mostly be going dark for 48 hours from June 12th-14th. We'll be temporarily open for pre-scheduled band AMAs which will operate normally, but otherwise everything else will be locked.

On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to Sync to Boost to BaconReader.
Anyone that has compared the official Reddit app to the most notable 3rd party apps knows there's a massive difference in terms of usability, readability, customizability, and presence of UX dark patterns. Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface.
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan?

Note: indieheads will be operating a little differently compared to all the other subs partaking in the blackout. We have a couple of pre-scheduled artist AMAs which fall on the blackout days, which can't be rescheduled on such short notice. We'll be hosting these AMAs and encourage everyone to join and support these artists. But except for that, submissions and comments on all other posts will be locked.
On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What can you do?

1. Complain. Message the mods of reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app: sign your username in support to the relevant posts in save3rdpartyapps and modcoord.
2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Complain about it to people you know who use Reddit. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join at ModCoord, and anyone who uses Reddit to join at save3rdpartyapps.

So, yeah. I was getting ready to get a pallet down for a customer today, and I was setting up the gates per usual. So the guy sees me and he’s like “oh we need to call border patrol” while I’m setting up the gates (I’m a Hispanic male). I also work in Florida so, yeah, Florida for you. Surprised it took me 9 months working here to experience that. But yeah how’s everyone else doing in your respective stores?

This is a popular topic on Reddit right now, and communities like Cryptocurrency are potentially showing support. I know our subreddit is small in comparison, but could be good to show solidarity on this particular topic.

I am seeking counseling, but I am starting to get really upset with this insurance thing. Looking for advice as I am having trouble finding counseling in network for my PPO. I follow the instructions per membership to look in the directory of covered providers.
First is there's no coverage for the official insurance name , blue cross blue shield. It's technically Providence health plan. Where I live they it's subcontracted so I should look instead under Anthem PPO. Bear in mind the insurance card doesn't even say anthem PPO anywhere. How is this okay?
Like I'm not having a crisis or anything and just want counseling, but if this wasn't healthcare and like another industry I would straight up call it almost a scam.
So now I'm looking on the member directory and calling down the list. Every like 4/5 numbers reroute to Path Mental Health, so I'm like ok I'll try them cause the other providers are probabaly booked up or not returning calls, understandably. Turns out Path is out of network for all of the insurance names I provided as well as sending them photos of the ID card. I literally started an excel sheet to keep track of the numbers I dialed and gave up due to frustration and it being the weekend.
This is like becoming a full time job to look for just ANY provider who is available yet in network – it's like finding a unicorn. And customer support is basically useless: they say look on the directory and they say oh there's so many on here. News: they all reroute to the same referral company, are outdated, or not the practice I'm looking for.
Now I know I can go out of network, but I'll have to meet a higher deductible, etc. when in network is only 20 copay. I get that therapists are doing valuable work and deserve a good compensation, but wtf is my insurance for if I can't find a single provider in their network. So what are you all's advice? My plan is to keep attacking this list on the weekday and putting it on the spreadsheet but one should NOT have to spend this time finding a therapist right? Or is this what it's like for patients?

This week’s slightly belated vintage batch is smaller than usual but features 3 very special Vacumatics: 2 made by Parker and one a 51 reproduction demonstrator! The first is New Old Stock and stickered, the second is oversized with a Superflex nib, and the third is just wild! As always, all are fully restored and ready to write.
 
ALBUM & TIMESTAMP

Condition (n.b.): All pens listed below have been disassembled, cleaned and restored with new sacs/diaphragms installed in the last couple months. Vacumatic fillers are something of a specialty of mine and I take pride in the amount of attention I devote to each. Any dried/coagulated ink is removed from feed channels. All remnants of thread sealant and ossified diaphragms are cleaned away. Threads are meticulously chased. Interiors of barrels are cleaned and polished to remove ink staining and restore transparency. Sections are sealed against leaks using Main Street Pens' rosin-based thread sealant. Each of these pens is guaranteed to fill and write as designed without leaks or other problems. Nibs have been adjusted when necessary to ensure that all lay down a smooth and consistent line.
THESE PENS HAVE NO CRACKS, CHIPS, PERSONALIZATIONS, LOOSE OR MISSING PARTS, BENT NIBS, MISALIGNED TINES, BROKEN/WORN OFF TIPPING, OR THREADING ISSUES.
 
Line Widths and Writing Samples: To provide buyers with as much information as possible, I have started to adopt the following line width standards: XXF (.1-.2mm); XF (approx .3mm); F (approx .4mm); M (approx .6mm); B (approx .8mm). Nib flexibility is determined by variation (max line width under pressure) and softness (amount of pressure). Flexibility designations based on variation generally run as follows for an XF/F nib: Semi-Flex (approx. 1mm); Flex (1.2-1.9mm); Superflex (>2mm). All line width measurements are taken with a digital caliper but should be considered approximations providing a general guide. Width may vary slightly depending on type of ink and paper used as well as amount of pressure applied. All writing samples are on Rhodia dot paper using Waterman Serenity Blue.
 
 
On Filling Vacumatics: Each of the pens with Vac filling systems below is made of celluloid with transparent barrel striations for viewing the level of ink, which is stored directly in the barrel. To fill, one simply removes the blindcap, submerses the nib, and depresses the plunger until the barrel is full.
 
1. NOS 1947 Parker Vacumatic Junior - Uninked w/ Stickers (Silver Pearl, celluloid, NPT, Vacumatic filler, 14k F nib). This full-sized model measures 5” capped and has the same proportions as a Major but lacks the Blue Diamond on the clip and features 2 thin cap bands as opposed to a single, wider chevron band. This pen is New Old Stock (NOS), apparently uninked, and stickered with original price ($5.00) and nib width (M) sticker as well. But it has been restored with a new diaphragm and filled with water for testing. Single black jewel on the cap and plastic plunger consistent with a 3rd generation Vac. 14k Parker Vac Arrow nib). Since I believe this pen has never been inked, I didn’t take a writing sample for sake of preservation. But a vintage Parker M usually corresponds to a modern F, which is what I designate as a F according to the standards above. If you’d like to buy this pen and don’t mind it being dipped, I’d be happy to test it out for you to confirm its smoothness and writing characteristics. But Parker’s nib-finishing dept was top notch and this one has been preserved as is from the factory. Condition: New Old Stock [N]. But for a touch of drawer to the clip, this pen has the appearance of having just rolled off the assembly line. Nickel-plated trim shows no brassing. Smooth, lustrous finish with no deep scratches or other notable blemishes – scarcely even any microscratches. Perfect color and transparency with no ambering (DETAIL PHOTO). Factory deep barrel imprint and date code are fully legible. NOS Vacs are pretty tough to come by these days and they don’t get much nicer than this one! Price: $270 SOLD
 
2. 1940 Parker Vacumatic Senior Maxima (black, celluloid, GPT, Vacumatic Speedline filler, 14k Two-Tone XF Superflex nib). This oversized model measures 5 3/8” capped. This 2nd generation, oversized Vac in black features a wide chevron cap band, double black jewels, aluminum Speedline filler, and blue diamond clip signifying Parker’s lifetime guarantee. Most Vac nibs are rather rigid. But once in a blue moon you get a surprise like this one. The commensurably oversized 14k Two-Tone Vac Arrow nib is Super-Flexible, laying down a smooth and consistent XF line that widens to a 4B+ (approx. 2.3mm) under light pressure (see WRITING SAMPLE). Condition: excellent [B]. Gold-plated trim is clean with no notable wear aside from a sliver of brassing on the blind cap tassie and high-point slivers on the arrow of the clip. Celluloid has a smooth lustrous surface with no notable blemishes apart from some pin-sized marks on the plastic here and there and some cloudiness on the surface of the hard rubber section. Additional polishing could possibly remove it, but I wasn’t having any luck and I didn’t want to over-polish. The only other noteworthy issue is some cosmetic wear to the plating on the filler that does not affect function. Good transparency with some ambering but ink level fully visible (DETAIL PHOTO). Manufacturer imprint and date code on barrel are deep and fully legible. Price: $420 SOLD
 
3. 1990s Ariel Kullock Parker 51 Demonstrator Repro (transparent lucite, NPT, Vacumatic filler, Octanium XF nib). This full-sized model measures a hair over 5 1/2” capped. In the 90s and early-2000s Ariel Kullock was known as a prolific craftsman of vintage FP reproductions and customizations. He’s perhaps best well known for his custom Parker 51s, whose caps he adorned and engraved and whose barrels he offered in an astonishing array of colors and patterns. He also made custom demonstrators. Originally, a demonstrator was a pen made of clear material with cutouts to expose its internal workings. Parker did not sell demonstrators to the public. They were distributed exclusively to dealers, who used them to show the features of standard pens to customers. A genuine Parker 51 Vac Demonstrator is an unusual sight indeed and range anywhere from $700, for the most common, to $1,000s for the rarer ones. Meanwhile, Kullock ceased production of his repro demonstrators years ago, making them harder and harder to find as well. This one was his most ambitious: a full Parker 51 demonstrator for which even the cap is transparent – the latter being a feature Parker themselves never made. The barrel, cap, hood, and blindcap are transparent and turned by Kullock. Pearlescent grey plastic cap jewel is original Parker. Whether capped or uncapped, this pen makes the ink visible wherever it is, be that in the barrel or in the transparent feed. Original Parker filler with plastic plunger. For all the metal parts on the pen, he chose original white metal. Nickel-plated original blue diamond clip, clutch ring, and original Octanium nib from a 51 Special. That nib lays down a smooth and consistent XF line (see WRITING SAMPLE). Condition: excellent [B]. Nickel-plating is clean with no brassing – just some drawer wear to the clip. Celluloid is smooth and lustrous with no deep scratches or other notable flaws. The only noteworthy demerit are some finishing marks on the interior of the barrel in a spiral pattern left over from the manufacturing process. A delightful pen to show people just how a Vacumatic 51 works! Price: $300
