Smoke shops open near me

I'm a second year mechanical engineering student going into my third year.
Right now I'm working two internships. We'll call them "manufacturing internship" and "design internship."
I started the manufacturing internship at the beginning of May for $17/hour x 40 hours per week. I really had my hopes up because in the job description, and during the interview process, my supervisor played up the role. I was under the impression that about 50% of the job would be tooling design, and the rest would be a combination process design, and other bits and bobs. Then I started the internship. I've done almost none of what was in the job description - I don't even have a Solidworks license to do tooling design. At the beginning, I did maybe a couple hours of tooling design because another engineer let me work on his computer ... and that's it, that's the only mechanical design experience I've gotten from this internship. When they say "process design," they mean "make travelers for the production runs." Then the other "bits and bobs" are literally 90% of the job: datasheets, organizing things, "verifying" information, and straight up faking missing data.
That's the other thing I dislike about this company: they're dishonest with the work they do. They're months behind on work, so to compensate, they outsource some products to outside vendors and resell it marked up 500%, and pass it off as their own. This in and of itself isn't bad, especially since it is pretty common practice... The problem comes when they fake data - they need to scan their products to make sure they meet certain optical requirements, but when they get something from an outside vendor, they just straight up fake the data... which is especially frustrating because they literally have the equipment to scan it, they just don't. This applies to their own products as well. Missing a scan? Fake data. The scan shows the product isn't up to spec? They "adjust" it. A customer requires a scan they're not capable of taking? More fake data. And they push a lot of this "faking" and "adjusting" onto me. It feels like the only reason they hired me was so they can push liability onto someone less significant, which is probably the case.
I can't get myself to stare at/make fake datasheets for 40 hours a week so I've been using python scripts to fast track the process. This opened up a huge amount of time in my schedule to do other stuff so I was hoping leverage that fact to get me on some tooling design projects or something of the like... but when I talked to them, they just told me they're having trouble getting a Solidworks license. So I've been following up (both via email and in person) literally every two days and I still don't have a CAD software to use... which is a common pattern. I bring something up and they'll "put me on a project," but I'll need XYZ to do that project and they'll never give me XYZ regardless of how many times I follow up... so I end up doing busywork.
To be honest, working here really beats me down. I'm barely getting any mechanical engineering experience, this position won't help me in my career, and I just feel very mislead and used. I hate this company and I'm here for no other reason than the money, and I will happily take it from them.
The design internship, on the other hand, has been much better. I got the offer about 1.5 weeks ago. I requested to be put on second shift with the manufacturing internship supervisor so I could take the first shift position at the design internship, and I started working at the new place a week ago. This past week I worked about 35 hours with the design internship and 25 hours with the manufacturing internship.
I'm confident that this new internship is better: I learned more there on my first day than I learned in my entire manufacturing internship. They pay $22/hour. For interns, they target about 50% of hours being billable work and 50% paid learning through various courses they have internally, and with other companies. I also get a 401k and health insurance. They have several other interns who have been there a while and can attest to the job being pretty accurate to the job description, and the whole team seems pretty honest in their work.
So anyway... my question is: do I keep my old manufacturing internship, or should I just migrate entirely over to the new design internship? Part of my motive for keeping the manufacturing internship is that I still (for some reason) have hope that I'll get some decent manufacturing experience / mechanical design experience related to manufacturing. Even though I plan on going more into the design side of things in my career, I think having some background in manufacturing is valuable because it gives you a more intimate understanding of how a factory floor works, which can help guide design decisions. I can also leverage that in future internships/jobs/interviews. My other main motive is money. I know money is not everything, but keeping the manufacturing internship means I'll have an additional $3000 in my pocket at the end of summer. This is the first time in my life I've been doing better than just breaking even and having that $3000 in my pocket is a lot to me. If I only work for the design internship, I'll still have a decent surplus for these next few months, but I kind of want to just suck it up this summer and work both internships for the extra $3000... even though just this one week at 60 hours + classes has kinda been eating away at me.
What would you do in my shoes? Any advice is appreciated
TLDR: I have a toxic relationship with an employer, then a new employer finally showed me what it's like to be treated right. I plan to pursue things with the new employer, but I'm not sure whether I should continue to dig gold from my first employer.

I usually use open source solutions. But this software makes it possible for me to use any (emphasis! ANY) controller and do all kind of things with them on the computer.
I’ve tried all other alternatives on GitHub and shown in YouTube videos.
This proprietary software deserved my payment and it has given and entertained me more than what I paid for.
Thanks team reWASD!
I use it with Steam Controller, 8-bitdo SN30 Pro+ and a DualSense.
Flair explanation: It’s not a meme, and did not want to mess with real support/help requests.

Hey TTRPG people! I run a weekly in-person game of Pathfinder 2e at my home in the Lee Vista area of Orlando, and we've just wrapped up our current campaign as 2 of our members are sadly moving out of town. We'll be starting up a new campaign in the next few weeks, and are looking for a few new players to fill slots!
We're a friendly group of 20-somethings who met online and have become actual friends outside the game as well, and we're hoping to meet new people who'll fit in nicely. We'll usually do a board game night or something on days when someone can't make the session, just to spend time with friends. We're also always open to having someone else try their hand at GMing a one-shot or something, just to keep things fresh (and to give me a break, lol).
The campaign is likely going to be a 2e conversion of the Pathfinder 1e Giantslayer adventure path, but I'm open to hearing what the group would prefer! The group tries to strike a good balance between goofy TTRPG shenanigans and more "serious" roleplay, so if you're the kind of person who loves to draw up a backstory and get into character, we'd be thrilled to have you.
We typically play Tuesday nights from 6ish to 10:30ish, but the group is open to switching days to accommodate schedules.
As I mentioned, we'll be playing Pathfinder 2e, but don't worry if you're not yet familiar with the system, we're more than happy to get you up to speed. (The transition from 5e/3.5/Pathfinder 1st edition is super easy, and you probably won't be the only one still learning.)
If you're interested in joining, please be:

• Creative
• Friendly
• Reliable
• LGBTQ+ friendly (I mean it, some of us are hella queer.)
• In your 20's - 30's (we as a group are more comfortable with others around our own ages.)

Found this Philips magnavox out front of somebody’s house with a free sign on it. Decided to take it home with me. Turns on and seems like great picture. Got a universal remote but the TV won’t change channels, volume or input. It also has this flickestutter which I’m guessing has to do with the problem. Willing to open it up but don’t even know where to start troubleshooting

I’m 11 weeks pregnant and have been off work for nearly two years because of my back. I originally had a bulging L5S1 disc, which turned into Cauda Equina syndrome and was operated on. While healing I had a fall and fractured my 4L/L5.
Because of this I am on endone and oxycodone slow release.
My GP has taken me off pregablin due to it being too dangerous, and has lowered my oxycodone and endone amounts.
I am so scared and in so much pain all day, I wake up with about a 7/10 pain score and only get relief when I can lay down for hours and take pressure off my lower back.
I know it’s only going to get worse as the pregnancy goes along, and I obviously can’t get the surgery while I’m pregnant. The pain + being unable to do normal housework + hormones is making me incredibly grumpy and lash out at my fiancée, I’m at a loss and don’t know what to do. Any advice?

Why is my stats only maxing to 35? I swear in the past I could get it to 40+ near 50...
No special stat goes past 35 now. Is its a feature that has been implemented in a latest patch or? Trying to do leveling runs, and I've taken all buffs that should give me 55+ intel. But it just stays at 30 or 35, no matter what I do.

Hello all! I am new here and tend to keep track of my own life through a journal where I write short stories from my experiences. I have never ever shared my writing before but was uncharacteristically proud of this one and showed my sister. She told me I should post it somewhere so I figured I would give it a shot. For a little bit of context, I am 19F and in college, this is about one of my friends. So, here is one titled "corner store".
​
Once or twice a week we go on a walk to the gas station on main street for an Arizona iced tea, a brisk lemonade, and a hot pink monster for your roommate. We always go together and we always go alone. Sometimes we stop in the cookie shop, sometimes we go the long way so we can stay in the calm that we only really seem to get if it’s just us. I will never tell you this, but it’s my favorite part of the week.
We went last night. My roommate wanted to masturbate in the room, and I wanted green tea. So, we went. We put on our coats, and my lips were stained cherry red from a popsicle I had eaten in the elevator on the way to the lobby. We walked in silence for a while until we passed the big pond. I was high. You were not. I turned to you and said, “I really don’t know a whole lot about you.”
You laughed and said, “That’s true. I only talk about myself in relation to other people. I don’t think there's all that much to want to know.”
I said, “I want to know anything You are willing to tell me.”
You spread your arms and said, “Alright. What big fucked up secrets about me do you want to hear?”
I thought about it for a few seconds before turning and asking, “What is your biggest fear? And don’t say some bullshit about heights, or the ocean. A real one. Tell me something real.” You smiled and said, “No bullshit. Got it.” and then went silent, turning my question over. You thought about it until we were passing the fountain by the tunnel. I hadn’t realized it was warm enough for that to be running again. Your fingers brush mine once and I flinch.
Finally, you answer, and you are looking straight ahead, and I am looking at your face, softened by the streetlamps. “I guess I am scared that I am not a very likable person. A lot of people don’t like me, and I don’t like them, and I worry that I hurt too many people with my judgements. I guess I am scared of being too judgmental.”
I thought this was insane. You are the most wonderful person I have ever met. How could anyone not like you?
As soon as I turned to respond, someone flew past on their skateboard, and we both laughed. You commented on how strangely fast it went, and the moment was gone. We fell back into the comfortable silence for a second. But once we had passed through the tunnel, I said, “That was a good answer. But I don’t think that’s true at all.” You shrugged and we kept walking.
Once we got to the dining hall, the one on the big hill, you said, “So do I get to know your no bullshit fear? Or is that another one of your secrets?”
I asked if you wanted to know, and you said of course. So, I told you, “I am afraid of being unlovable. I am afraid of being too far gone to be a good person. I’m afraid I won’t ever deserve the love I am given. I guess I’m just scared I’m too hard to love.”
You touched my arm and said, “I think you’re really easy to love. Caring about you is probably the easiest thing I have done.”
I snorted at the corniness of the line, and you smiled at me. Then you said it so simply, “Just let me care about you because I want to. Not because you’ve earned it or whatever fucked up thing you have in your head. I want to know you and I don’t think you should push away the people who want to.”
I blew a raspberry with my mouth, and you punched my arm. Then we walked the rest of the way to the corner store in silence. I got an Arizona green tea and oreos. You got a Brisk lemonade and pretzels. You bought your roommate his monster and dried beef.
We won’t ever talk about last night again.

Thank you so much for reading! Let me know if you have any thoughts and I can't wait to see what y'all write too!

I took quite a long break from my obsession with MBTI. My last big research and ruminate period was 2020 when i was 18.
I've noticed that for a long, long time now, I've been focused on the past and nostalgia. I've done this my entire life where I've heavily romanticized a period in my life and become so obsessed with it that I get depressed (i have depression anyways but its out of control at these times). Growing up, I romanticized 2012 (the year i made a lot of new friends online) 2016 (when i graduated 8th grade and hung out w friends often) and 2019 A WHOLEEEE TON (beginning of my senior year, hung out with my enfp best friend everyday, was single, and worked w/ a bunch of ppl my age and flirted with boyysss ooo). I remember in 2020 thinking, "wow, the best time of my life was only # months ago"
Ok so anyways, I smoked a bit today and thought "hm, im focused on the past and going absolutely bonkers with it. that sounds like a Fi-Si loop" and revisited MBTI. I am most definitely fi-si looping to the extreme. However, I seem to be focusing on times in my life where my Ne was heavily utilized.
My question is, should I try to replicate the mindset of these moments in my life? Not as much replicating what I was doing or thinking, but utilizing the "anything can happen" mindset (Ne) to GTFO of Fi-Si.
I never really understood Fi-Si loops until literally today so I hope this helps some of you peoples understand it because I just had to be told the word romanticizing instead of ruminating for me to actually get it. Also answer my question and tell me your thoughts I'd like to read many thoughts

Graduated last year with that I thought was a dream job. Remote startup near my house with opportunities to learn all kinds of things. Turns out I got scammed and management had no idea what it was doing and I was put on teams doing things I had no idea what to do and no tutelage to teach me what how.
Anyway got laid off a few months ago with decent severance and am on unemployment. Really enjoyed my time off and got to travel and realized that I don’t want to be a salaryman for a company doing a 9-5 anymore. I actually have a disability that makes it hard for me to work in the office so fully remote work is a necessity, though when I can I don’t mind going into an office. However unemployment is drying up and I need to find a way to stay afloat.
My skill set up to this point is system software. I did drivecompiler work at my previous internships. Not exactly the kind of stuff that lends itself nicely to remote or flexible remote work.
My dream job is to be a digital nomad where I can either work in a crunch and take a few days off or work really hard for a few months and then take a monthish off. For that I’m hesitant to get a full time job because it’ll be career suicide for me to quit 6 months in to go travel.
Basically what skills do I need to get a low-effort, flexible remote job? Contracting is ideal but open to lots of things. I don’t need a giant salary because I actually have side hustles that make some money (Uber, art, content creation) and having a job that allows the time and energy to pursue those things is important to me.
So what should I do? Thanks a lot in advance!

If I just almost choked while drinking water and have had a stomachache for almost 2 weeks do I likely have acid reflux
I haven’t actually thrown up please help me I feel weird tonight my throat hurts I ate a burger w fries that was made at home about two hours ago my stomach hurts and my throat has this really weird feeling I don’t know whether or not I’ll throw up should I ask to be taken to the hospital my throat feels weird my throat is sore and it became sore a few hours ago out of the blue (I also started to feel kind of cold so I put on more clothes.) I was out of school last week as last week I was really feeling nauseous but am back this week. I occasionally have sharp stomach pains I’m wondering if I might vomit tonight it feels like it’s been a long time (well technically it has been since this started, as this started nearly two weeks ago now… when it hits this Monday it will be two weeks since this started.) Do you have any advice for me what do I do my throat in general feels funny
It’s now 8:40, I think I ate around about 6 (the hamburger, fries, and a pickle.) I remember when I went to the emergency room on Wednesday the doctor said she suspects I have a stomach virus but I thought it would be gone by now swallowing feels weird I don’t know what to do should I try going back to the hospital tonight
I notice my voice sounds hoarse again.

I (16M) and honestly fed up with her, and have been. My sister (10) is very mentally disabled, to the point she doesn't really know much of anything or can start to understand much.
She always messes with my stuff, usually followed up with my mom saying "you shouldn't have left it there" or "it's fine", which had also costed me my DS Lite (chewed on it 'til it broke) and my 3DS XL (met an unfortunate demise in the microwave), she goes up to my room and either repeatedly quietly opens and closes the door or just walks in. I have severe anger issues, and will quickly get mad and yell. This causes that every time I have to watch her (which is a lot) she usually ends up screaming and crying (not that I hurt her, just yell a lot. Despite wanting to, I do NOT hurt her)
She can't shut up for two seconds, and honestly I wish she didn't learn how to speak the little bit she could.
I love her sometimes, but a lot of the time I just wish I could be moved out now

Just tired of not being able to be sexually free as I want to be. Very open to trying new things and I love anal. Unfortunately not able to do it and I miss passionate hot sex and feeling wanted.
About me: short and thick and Peruvian. I would say I’m fairly cute. I love hung men. A bit a of a size queen. Very into anal, rough sex but sensual. On the EST. No nudes unless there’s an initial attraction. I love my men of color. Sometimes into white guys.
Looking for guys in the age range of 25-50. If you need to feel wanted let’s do that for each other. Don’t be too needy or I’ll detach.

I (21m) turned 21 this year and have been dating my gf (19f) for about a year. I was super excited to turn 21 because I didn't drink before then, and I was exciting to get drunk for the first time. I had my whole day planned out to hang with my boys, and of course I invited my gf to come along as well. We went to Dave and Buster's and I got my first alcoholic beverage (Bloody Mary), and we played a crane game to try and get rubber ducks. We were all having a great time but I can tell my gf was a bit off. I walk up to her to ask her what's up and she told me she wanted to give me something.
We walk out to our cars and she tells me to get in hers. I hop in the passenger side and blindfolds me so I couldn't tell where we were going. I was curious but I trusted her, but I was a little upset I had to leave Dave and Buster's and my boys behind. The car stopped and she took my blindfold off at a dock area. She got out of the car and grabbed something from the trunk. She took out box and sat back into the car. She looked me in the eyes gave me a kiss and opened the box, it was a pair of promise rings. I thought the gesture was sweet, but I don't know if it was out of confusion or if I was upset with her for taking me to a secluded area to give me them and I went silent. We sat there for a while and she started crying. I understand why she was crying and I also started crying, We just sat there crying silently together for a while. She drove me back to Dave and Buster's and she said she was just going to head home. I gave her a hug and a kiss and we went our separate ways.
I had a good rest of my birthday but after getting those rings it really made me rethink our whole relationship. I loved her but maybe she wasn't the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. We talked about our relationship together and talked about what happened and it felt like a mutual thing. Not so long after though I've been hearing a lot of rumors about me being spread around and people look at me differently.
I'm starting to rethink my decision of breaking up with her, because I feel a lot more empty and sad with her gone. I know I made a big mistake I didn't realize how much I enjoyed being with her until we were split for a while. What do you think the best way to get her back would be?
tldr; My gf bought me promise rings and it made me rethink our whole relationship

Does anyone know when the fish window near Anthony's is open?

Im very conflicted. I am out of town this weekend and my sibling smoke pot and im 30 days /1 month sober. I took a tiniest piece of eddy and one hit of the an one hitter. I do not thing it made a difference since i was already very drunk. I took it from my sibling stash and now im only a few hours sober again. I keep drinking now almost daily. My mom and my therapist wanted me to stop. I did one MA meeting when i was smoking months ago and i orginally was going to do this to grt them off my back ,but it made no difference. I did an NA meeting yesterday and eveyone was smoking cigs and nictione vape. I was smoking daily many times a day. I was abusing it. Also a week ago my grandmother did cbd/thc topical cream for pain and i freaked out. It was unexpected. However my friends n sisters smoke n im okay. Also i was gonna get a 1.1 cbd vape /thc or just a plain cbd vape which i used b4 and it does nothing. My sister keeps asking me if it ok and now idk if im addicted or not. Sigh f 27

hey! so today i went in to see my piercer to get my seamless ring taken out since the metal was too strong for me to do it myself. long story short i ended up going to someone who wasn't my usual piercer.
he was easy to get along with but when he was taking out my seamless ring he was struggling to pry it open and was pressing really hard onto my nose. and i mean like REALLY hard that i could feel the pressure build up like my nose was about to break of fracture. he switched in a clicker i brought in for me since i was in tears by that point (he also struggled putting the clicker in and stabbed the inside of my nose a couple times trying to jab it through part that wasnt the hole).
im wondering if i should be worried if the pain persists tomorrow or within the next week? the pain feels like i just got my septum pierced for the first time again and it hurts to even touch my nose. i should add the seamless ring was what i got when i first got the piercing and it's what it healed with.

I’ll be turning 22 in a couple of weeks and i just feel very behind in life compared to other people in my age group. Most of my friends are in serious committed relationships, moving in together and getting engaged and whatnot. I’m not in a rush to find a boyfriend/husband or anything, but I’ve literally never had a relationship. Never had sex either. I’d feel better about it if i had at least had 1 boyfriend in the past or something, but nope. Nada. To be fair, it’s partially my fault. I have this habit of running away at the slightest sign that a guy might be interested in me. Daddy issues i suppose.
A lot of the sentences i get from people i meet are “do you have a boyfriend? Oh no, why? Do you just not want one? Are you dating? Are you on tinder?”. This is the best one: “you’re a virgin? Oh… THaT’s sO CoOL! I WisH I WAs StILL A vIRgiN”. No, it’s not cool. It just is what it is. And no, you don’t wish that. It’s either that or “oh let’s not talk about sex, she’s too innocent!”. 😐
The other main thing is my career. It’s okay, just not where i want it to be. I don’t earn much money, not enough for me to be able to move out or anything. I have my own online store and things have really slowed down this year money wise. I’m not sure what I’ll do and i don’t want to go and get some shitty 9-5 that will be even more draining for me.
I’m a heavy smoker and have also just recently worked through my gambling addiction. I’m sure once i quit smoking i’ll probably get addicted to something else, i have quite an addictive personality. I heard a line from a tv show the other night that said “we’re all addicts, some of us are just better at hiding it” and i thought it was so true. We’re all trying to fill some kind of void. I’m working on that side of me though.
I’m sure I’ll figure it out, I’m just feeling a bit sorry for myself i suppose. Every year that goes by i look back and think “wow, so nothing really changed”. I know it’s up to me to make a change, i just don’t know what change i need. Do i go and travel by myself and do some soul searching? Do i download tinder? Do i pick up a craft/skill? Who knows.
To all of you that are feeling stuck, i feel you! You’re not alone.
