I recently got a $22 SGD gift card for my birthday and wondering what to buy as for the best value 1. Quest Pass for July season (I only want the emojis in quest pass and definitely not buying the June one) This is $22 2. The Cascade sales 3. straight up gems 4. The exclusive sales they have Any advice is yearly appricated thanks

Hello there y'all, since the discord is unaccessible for now I'm left with nowhere to ask these questions.
I'm a dolphin who's currently sitting with a Seele and a Bronya with decent cones, but i really have no clue wether i should pull for any of the 1.1 characters or wait for 1.2. Taking into account my only real healer is Natasha (No Bailu or Gepard yet) what's your advice?

Ok Does anybody else have an issue with the fact that the MC and her twin Do Not have the same hair color like I do, In some of your storylines ??, 🤔
The backbone of the Season is The fact the Twins are supose to be Identical Right ??🤨
Well if you are black or dark skinned and have dark colored hair , maybe not so much of an issue for you then.
But,,,, if you are like me And Chose to have blonde hair or say You chose red or ash or a lighter color hair, Your twin sister does not match you.
I chose Lewie as my partner. I am really Glad I did too, he's just a Gem of a Sweetheart. 🥰
Already catching feels for him.
When (they MC and Lewie) in my story were talking and Amelia appears. He said she looks more like me than I do.!!
How is that possible when the hair color is the most obvious difference,😖,
The season is Double Trouble. How can they be mistaken for each other when clearly the hair color tells them apart .
Unless Fusebox plans on addressing this in the coming episode, I feel we should have been allowed to customize Amelia as well, and maybe given the option to name her if you chose to do so. Just because they are twins basically 2 of You this season. Which is not the Norm.
Just my Opinion .....

M 16 and was wondering if my mom is telling the truth. For context, I'm 16 years old, and I've been at the height of 175cm for the past 4 or so years. I either run, bike or lift almost every single day for the past 2 years. My growth plate has undoubtedly been closed already but lately, my mom has been obsessed for me to get taller. She found this 'doctor' on Facebook and the 'doctor' advised that teens should jump in order to get taller. My mom's pretty ignorant so I can't really debate her or else she'd just start using emotions against me for which I absolutely hate. But I just want to know if I'm able to grow just by jumping everyday.

Im getting 18 in 2 weeks and i dont feel that my little guy is really at a point where he should be. I may be at a lenght which is considered normal for austria but i dont feel like its as girthy as it should be. My foreskin is still partially on the head of it when i have an erection and i just overall think it looks kind of... childish? Do i need to worry or am i still evolving or is it because i am a little late with everything overall? And can i do something about it?

This is a question about melee characters fighting multiple encounters with creatures of CR17 or higher.
While building for AC is a great way to improve survivability as a melee character when you have less than 3 digits of hp, there presumably is a point where a Hide-Armor of Bludgeoning Resistance would be preferabele over a Full Plate +3 even with a dex of 10.
I as a DM have 2 players playing high AC melees. One is an armorer artificer, with 14 con. The other a sword and board rangefighter, that has the Shield spell and 18 con. The difference in HP between the artificer and the ranger is already causing a noticeable difference in turns spent on the floor for the artificer. Especially since Armorer has an actual taunt mechanic on every hit, this will only get worse for them going forwards.
Both are effectively half-casters that rely on melee attacks so this isn't about martial vs. caster (even though artificers seem like casters)

I would like to create a general house rule that solves not just my current issue, but that I could carry forwards into a next campaign.

With the goal to somehow give a non AC survivabily benefit that scales with level based on armor type, to help tanky characters remain tanky even when AC matters less.

Giving a smaller bonus to the ranger for their medium armor and shield, and a bigger bonus to the artificer for their heavy armor and shield.
I'm thinking holding a shield gives +1 (temp) max hp per level (of the class that granted you shield proficiency), and full plate gives +4 (temp) max hp per level (of the class that granted you proficiency), while half-plate gives 2.5 (rounding after totaling) Where the temp part means that if you equip/unequip the item your HP reverts, like the Aid and Heroes Feast spells.
Is this a good idea/bad idea? Aside from it being a dick move towards monks, is there any major problems I missed about his rule?
I think it could be an interesting way to change how my players look at dipping 1 cleric level to be a wizard in heavy armor, or about how AC from Mage Armor, Shield and Bladesong actually impacts survivability.

Yandere Simulator was pitched on April 1st, 2014 on 4chan. The "pre-alpha" would get released 15 days later. The game would get banned from Twitch on January 21st, 2016. However, the first official demo was released on AUGUST 31ST 2020, and the 1980s mode would be released on OCTOBER 2021. As of June 5th, 2023, the game was in development for 9 years, 2 months and 4 days.
So, this post will compare the development time of YanSim to other games who had long development time:
​

#1: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

On June 11th, 2019, Nintendo would release a teaser of a Breath of the Wild sequel. This video will collect more than 15 million views, and loads of interest about what could this game have features. However, due to COVID-19, the game development was halted and, on March 29th, 2022, Nintendo released a video and declared that they'll postpone the release of the game to Spring 2023, and apologized to all who waited for the game's released. Of course, there were lots of doubts about will this game be even released in 2023, and multiple persons expressed their frustration. But, on Sept 13th, 2022, Nintendo would release their first official trailer of the game, now called "Tears of the Kingdom", and the release date was officialized: May 12th, 2023. 2 more exciting trailers later, the game was eventually released, and oh boy the delay was worth it: 10 million copies sold worldwide in 3 days, which is more than Twilight Princess did in years, and critical acclaim from every single site. Even I bought the game and I'm super impatient on finishing, but there's still my exams to finish. Gamers waited 3 years, 11 months and 2 days for the game release, and there're more ways to torture Koroks and to kill rivals
​

#2: Final Fantasy XV

Now we will start in "Development Hell" mode. Final Fantasy XV's development started in 2006 as spinoff on PS3. 6 years later, it would be rebranded as the next mainline title and Nomura would be replaced by Hajime Tabata as the game's director, with the spinoff at 20 to 25% complete. Due to the change, more development was required, as the story was needed to be revamped and some characters repurposed or even removed. The game would eventually be released on November 29th, 2016. The game would be met with favorable reviews and 10 million copies were sold worldwide, making it one of the best-selling games of Final Fantasy. Gamers waited 10 years for the spinoff and 4 years for the mainline game, which is quite little compared to the next game.
​

#3 Duke Nukem FOREVER

Oh boy it deserves its name. Announced on April 27th, 1997 (yes), the game was released in....2011!!!! Let's start this journey that will make YandereDev look like Eiji Aonuma. 3D Realms was announced in April 1997. Less than a year later, the Build engine, in which the game was based on, was considered obsolete and the devs were forced to change to Quake II engine, and the publisher, 3D Realms, lost $500,000. The first screenshots were released at E3 1998, but the sun won't be seen anytime soon. In June 1998, the devs decide to switch engine AGAIN, this time to Unreal, because it was better suited to open spaces (they had a difficult time to render the Nevada Desert). According to George Broussard, this change was nothing and it'll be back on track, which is countered by programmer Chris Hangrove's statement that they needed to restart from ZERO.
By the turn of the millenium, multiple release dates were missed, as Broussard wanted to add multiple elements. 3D Realms even joked that they are trying to stop Broussard looking at other games because he wanted to include portions into the game. Finally, a trailer was released in E3 2001, which ended up being called a "scam" by Broussard himself 21 years later.
Fast forward to 2003, the game had only 18 people on it, and one former employee complained that Broussard and Miller had still the "1995 mentality". Then, controversy happened: Jeffrey Lapin, Take-Two CEO, said that the game won't be released in 2003 and they wrote off $5.5 million off the revenues due to DNF. and that's Broussard's response:

Take-Two needs to STFU ... We don’t want Take-Two saying stupid-ass things in public for the sole purposes of helping their stock. It's our time and our money we are spending on the game. So either we're absolutely stupid and clueless, or we believe in what we are working on.

YandereDevlike response. Anyway, Lapin was told that the game would be released between late 2004 and early 2005. But it's not finished...
Rumors said that DNF switched for a third time their game engine, this time to iD Tech 4. These rumors were denied by Broussard himself, but it's not like the game was fully developed anyw...Broussard confirmed that many of the game's elements were finished and he's just " pulling it all together and trying to make it fun". but, like YandereDev's statements, it was a lie. Take-Two negotiated a $4.25 million deal instead of $6 million for Broussard. Everyone working in DNF were tired, many of them left the development. Van Lierop was hired to test the game in 2007, and stated that the game was more finished than expected, but Broussard felt it needed two more years.
The delays strained the relationship between Miller and Broussard but, finally, a new trailer was released by the end of 2007, but no release date was announced. As the game was near completion, funding started to deplete and, despite multiple negotiations, Broussard suspended their collaborations with 3D Realms.
In 2010, the staff was reduced, and 3D Realms laid off the staff a year prior. However, problems were not finished: Take Two sued 3D Realms over the failure of completing DNF, which will be settled in 2010. However, Miller stated that the development was suspended. In 2010, 3D Realms approached GearBox Productions to complete the game. Randy Pitchford, the CEO of the studio, decided to help the devs as he felt "Duke can't die". The final trailer was released in late 2010, and the game can finally be played. The game would be eventually released in June 14th, 2011, after 14 years, a month and 19 days of waiting, which will be the longest time of development a game had until 2022, when Beyond Good and Evil 2, in development since 2007, surpassed DNF.
The game itself, is mediocre. I will let this French video by well known Youtuber "Joueur du Grenier" (French version of the "Angry Video Game Nerd") talk about it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74fG-8jPsRw (censored)/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-or4WhpXx_k (uncensored)).

Comparison (TL-DR):

Yandere Simulator was in development for 9 years, and the demo was released 6 years after the first announcement, and that's after the Love LetteDrApeis controversy. The popularity wave was already gone, and few people still care about the game (mainly because of mods, concepts and it's not-Sergio-Leone-level spaghetti code).
If we need to compare YanSim with the 3 games mentioned, the game will have a lot of similarities with Duke Nukem Forever than TotK and FFXV. TotK was only postponed because of the need of polishing some features, while FFXV was in development was for 10 years because of change of direction, and both are quite good games. DNF's development was riddled with burned bridges, false hopes and controversies like YanSim, and was only saved because of a dude that wanted to Duke Nukem to survive and even after that, the game was received mediocrly. So yeah, if you want to resume the concept of the game, it's a "Yandere PC Version of DukeNukem Forever made by a pedophiliac weirdo whose only relevance are the potential lore the weirdo didn't even develop, the concepts/mods made by amazing Youtubers, the supersupbar spaghetti code, the mega-controversies around the game, and the fans who are courageous enough to de facto take over the game when the dev is lazy to say that the game is annulled" As always, all criticism is accepted, sayonara.

Hi team. I used to be able to run around 10 streams previously from my laptop(i5 10th gen, 16gigs ram, gtx1050) which had a hard drive initially, without any problem.
I had to switch to M.2 SSD as my primary storage because my hard drive started having issues of its own. After switching to SSD, I've seen that I can't run more than two streams together, when I went to my previous setup, it was buffering horribly.
Every thing is same in the laptop except the previously installed HDD. I switched of the fastboot as it was keeping the system uptime more. Even doing that didn't help. Could tell me what I could be doing wrong?

I'm finding 10% or so of my downloads fail, currently upgrading my 1080p library to 4K.
My main server is Eweka which I got on the deal for £2.60 a month and I plan on never cancelling as that's such a good price.
I then have a 500GB block on Usenet express which so far has used 60GB.
Just wondering if other users simply have loads of blocks across all backbones?
Or is there a decent main one with multiple backbones?
I have the latest map I think, but just curious what other server setups other UK users have.
No super special requirements, mainly popular films and TV shows.

I recently read this. From an SDA member. Any thoughts?

📷
I was talking to a friend in church and he said something that really resonated. He said that he had search in many churches until he came to the Seventh-Day Adventist church and knew when he came that this was the true church of God because they followed Gods word in a fullness that no other church did. No false saints or idols, or doctrines that went directly against the scriptures such as being held in a burning inferno by the devil till they were ready to go to heaven, or that a Rapture will take everyone to God with no Second Coming or Christ appearing, just poof and people disappear. That is not biblical along with many other beliefs that some churches tell their members, which just lead to confusion of what is to come and how Christ will save them.
Now many pastors, ministers and people know these things being preached are false or doctrines of man not of God, yet they continue telling or preaching it and leading others into what leads them to the wrong path or even sin, for fear of losing their standing or position and yet the Bible clearly gives what is truth and it also says the following: Hebrews 10:26 "For if we sin WILFULLY after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth NO more sacrifice for sins.."
Many will lose eternal salvation for following or leading others down these false paths, it is as my friend said, look for true church of God which follows Gods word in a fullness that no other one does
Red Baker's response to callmerella.
A brief consideration of the SDA should be clear that they have another spirit directing them against God's word.
The above said: No false saints, or idols, or doctrines that went directly against scriptures.....There is a very strong delusion made in this statement. TIme would fail us to see the many false doctrines that comes from this latter day movement ( which is only less than one hundred and fifty years old ).

1. It has been well said over many times that~ "The SDA uphold and near venerate Ellen White theories: Ellen White is recognized by the Seventh-day Adventist church as having received the gift of prophecy (SDA Prophet) as outlined in Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12. SDA sees the written works by Ellen White as "a continuing and authoritative source of truth which provide for the church comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction," according to their fundamental beliefs, as listed by Adventist.org. She is basically the SDA Pope in this sense in her dictating doctrine and teaching, but the Word of God says about those that teach anything contrary to the Word of God "...so, do not tell us that they do not worship a false saint, for they surely do! Her name is Ellen G. White...who are they trying to deceive by saying they do not?
2. No doctrine goes against the scriptures? Really? They teach that when the righteous die they do not go into the very presence of God, but sleep in the grave until the resurrection of the last day? Is this scriptural? Absolutely not. God is not the God of the dead, BUT of the LIVING, so said Jesus Christ. Mark 12:26~"And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?" Again: Matthew 22:32~"I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." God's children have eternal life NOW. The old man WILL dead and, and lay in the grave until the resurrection of the last day, but the NEW MAN cannot die, IMPOSSIBLE, for it is created after the image of Jesus CHrist, once created, it lives forever. To be absent from THIS BODY is to be PRESENT with God!

Philippians 1:23,24~"For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you."
Enough on this point, more in my next post. RB

I am currently level 56, slowed down a bit to cap renown in each region and do side quests. I am not farming for my last pieces and have tried a few builds to see what I like and what works. Here is my current opinion.
Tldr; Bone is the only viable high damage spec.
Corpse explosion even fully optimized whether miasma shadow stack or cc increased damage requires too much build up. When a druid, rogue, sorc, or barb, can pop a cool down and delete a pack but I have to generate a corpse, play the minion mini game, play the corpse stack mini game, then execute. I mean come on blizzard. I am missing 2 pieces that are big pieces they are the corpse explosion uniques for gloves and weapon, but I have literally every single other piece that boosts my damage by close to 1000%. And I am miles behind my friends numbers and efficiency. Couple this with the fact that I have no mobility.... Jesus.
Let's talk summons! I leveled mainly thorns summons with full synergies. Possibly my favorite build and an amazing boss killer as all direct damage to each minion reflects and makes the boss burn itself incredibly fast. Probably going to ditch corpse explosion and go back to this just to have fun. The main problem is that even though I am crossing into paragon board 2, I have every statue of Lilith and max renown, minions are fully upgraded with every stat point, and they can only take 1% dot damage and 30% max health damage. They still get obliterated amazingly fast. This would be fine if I wasn't in max level, upgraded, legendary gear. And thorns damage is amazingly lacking. I don't believe it can crit? I have been trying to figure that out and I can't seem to. But let's talk the root of the issue. Summons get 30% of my stats, 50% of thorns when you take the right points. But the number of them is supposed to make up for the fact that they do a 3rd of your damage. Which to be fair, single target they can put in work "hence the boss killing". The problem is their ai is absolute dog shit. In a fight where the boss or elite goes immune and you have to focus fire the channeler? Summons are still on the immune boss (blizzard if you read this, please for the love of God make summons deaggro immunes). You should be able to focus them onto a target with cast. Another issue is healing them, for whatever reason the bonus max life healing doesn't work at all. Out of combat it does, in combat it always heals for 10% instead of 60%. Lastly besides the survivability, lack luster damage, horrible ai, and poor scaling, you can't synergize them into one build path. Want to go all thorns? Go fuck yourself here is 2 of the 3. Want to go shadow? And go fuck yourself only mages. Want to go blood or bone, you guessed it! Couple this with the fact that the tool tips lack any meaningful way besides hours of testing to even see what blood or bone skills will count toward their damage just what the fuck man. At least shadow is up front about it. Also bone mages would be good if they didn't kill themselves on top of exploding whenever something looked in their general direction.
Shadow, shadow, shadow! Nothing in your skills really does it but you can make other skills do it and it sucks. I haven't thoroughly tested it yet but it seems like using aspects to change blood and bone into shadow damage is a direct nerf. What I mean is bloods gauranteed overpower and bones bonus damage per essence spent and had are far better than damage over time. Why? Because doing 100,000 damage over 10 seconds is worse than doing 50k over 2. That's about all I have to say about this. I simply do not feel like it's worth giving up 4x damage that can critically hit from an overpower or substantially higher base consistent damage from bones bonuses.
Blood for the hatred mommy? It's well sorta got the same problem of not knowing what it wants to do really. Personally I think I cracked the code using corpse generating skeletons with corpse on damage and fortify when you spawn a corpse. Now you don't need to take a single fortify minor rune and can take all the overpower options. You kinda passively just spawn hundreds of corpses healing for your entire health pool in fortify every second. So it's incredibly tanky so long as you never get crowd controlled. But it's a burst build that likes to burst when it bursts things. And half the aspects for the build want it to give that up for shadow dps which is bad. Why do I want to kill something slower again? Oh right! I really don't and would rather do that damage instantly instead. But yeah, it's still good, I would say with gear it will probably be the strongest build thanks to overpower and critical hit damage slapping something for billions of damage late game.
I've got a real Bone to pick with blizzard apparently. It's just good, sadly it just has everything it wants. Need dps? Here is bone fragments and aoe. Need burst? Here is a bone spirit that hits like a freight train and you can get free ones with a unique chest. Need synergies that aren't all trying to turn you to the dark side, I mean shadow? Hell yeah brother, take the best aspects for your class. Whoever was in charge of bone for Necro did a pretty good job imo. Getting bonus essence from multiple sources while multiplying your damage and then adding crit, vulnerable, and overpower? I mean come on! And this is all without mentioning access to an early dungeon in the starting area that allows you to put bone lance on unlimited pieces while leveling... Wouldn't want to have spaced out the classes access to things and purposefully crippled tons of builds and play styles by locking you out of essential aspects early or anything. Yes that was sarcasm, yes blizzard this was a huge over sight by you and your team. That being said bone is the most viable spec.
And now that you are at the end of this essay, here is a list of things Necro needs to be a more viable spec.
Better pet ai or player control.
Better pet synergies across the 3 blood, bone, shadow, and corruption.
Dps ticks need to be able to crit.
Thorns needs clarification and needs to benefit from core stats like crit and crit damage.
Attack speed being every minion aspect doesn't make 30% scaling better, neither does the number of shitty little pawns I throw at something. Please allow different summons to benefit from bone "damage from essence bonus", blood "gauranteed overpower", shadow damage over time and or more than one type, and corruption having any synergy would be dope in general, like why not just make them all bone or blood?
Stop making beneficial aspects turn my skills into shadow, making me avoid them in place of using my ultimate selection. Better blood mist shouldn't cost me it doing shadow damage! Bonestorm and blood wave are simply worse when you make them shadow. 22% more damage after 10 hits is worse than 100% damage a tick every single fucking time. And no giving us 40% bonus damage after proc couples with 120% on proc damage doesn't make up for the first 10 procs doing 2000% damage from one aspect. I don't even know how to approach a fix here ATM. Put who ever was in charge of shadow on unpaid leave for the weekend.
Give necros mobility even situational. Let us jump to a corpse on corpse tendril or something. It just feels bad being so damn slow and being a dps class.
For the love of God change which dungeons reward which aspects. There are like 3 shred aspects, 5 sorc, 4 barb, 3 rogue, and like 2 Necro, in the starting area. I had to wait till level 35 to unlock my first free damage aspect for summons because you locked it behind chapter 4 of the fucking campaign. What were you smoking when you planned this out. Did the team play pin the aspect on the dungeon during a drinking contest? Could've been a darker joke but we have both moved on right? Sorry.
Lastly, can we please clean up necros tree a bit. Why are there no corruption core skills? Why does blood have two core essence spenders that conflict with each other and prevent Necro from going pure blood? Why do summons not count as core skills and or get the ability to be buffed by countless of synergies that would make it specialize and shine in unique way? You get the idea.
In conclusion, Necro needs work guys. Good luck if you start one tomorrow on the 6th.

My (17M) long distance boyfriend (17M) has a hard time struggling to eat, not as in he doesn’t want to but he can’t get groceries.
His family are some of the nicest people but him not being able to eat even 2 meals a day is really stressful, I feel helpless not being able to offer any advice but I genuinely don’t know what to do in this situation, I care for him a lot and I just want him to be healthy. Any advice?
Tl;dr: my boyfriend can’t afford food and I don’t know how to help him, what could I do?
(We have been dating for almost 1 year now and I visit him in July)

I saw him tonight for the third time in the last ten years. He's only ever just observed me in the past. The last time I saw him was two years ago around this same time of year. I wasn't afraid that last time. I actually sent him all of the loving energy I could muster up. He didn't seem to like it, but he wasn't upset either. He simply walked back out of my room - this was the middle of the day - and I thought I'd never see him again. Over the next two years, I gradually began to think he might come back, but I was never afraid of it. In my mind, I would just do the same thing the next time he came. Then, this weekend, I had a strong, intuitive feeling that I should wear my necklace - a friend of mine who's into crystals and energy and all that gave it to me after my last encounter to protect me from these things. So I wore it until Sunday morning when I took it off to take a shower. I forgot to put it back on. I go to bed in my hotel room later that night (i travel for work) around midnight, not thinking much about it. At roughly 2:50 AM, I wake up to what sounds like someone walking out of my bathroom, I try to get up, but I can't move. The next thing I know, he's on top of me. Pure evil and rage is all I can feel. He has a strangling wire that is now in my mouth, stretching the corners of my mouth to my ears and pinning my head to the bed. A fear like I have never felt washes over me. All I could think was "this is it." And in a few seconds it's over - he's gone - and I can hear myself screaming. I haven't seen any posts about this sob actually touching anyone yet. I'm a bit fearful of what it could mean. Is there anyone that can shed some light on this for me? And before you ask - I was not under any influence of drugs/alcohol.

Hey all, so I’ve really enjoyed my solo tier 2 experience up to act 4. I’ve gotten away with using a whirlwind build which isn’t the best for single target bosses.
Is there any way to join a group for certain bosses other than going to Discord? I’ve noticed in previous acts bosses how when I die there will sometimes be a thing to click on for a split second that says “join group in progress” but it doesn’t seem to work when I click it.. and then it disappears. Is this a bug?
I’m loving the game so far but wish there were more social aspects in terms of slaying with other people in dungeons and bosses. I do love the open world, however I only see people in towns and at open world bosses.
I’m having a blast with my current build and I hope I don’t have to change my entire build just for one boss. I will if I must, but it would be cool to slay bosses with others for a change.
For those who haven’t played yet, you’re in for a hell of a ride. I definitely recommend this game to anyone who wants a dark and gritty world with fun and challenging bosses. Challenging for me anyway, lol

My phone (basically a Poco F2 Pro with small improvements and Chinese version) of 2.5 years suddenly couldn't detect my nanoSIM card and the Wi-Fi chip seems to be not working too (Wi-Fi could not be turned on, on the phone).No recent drops/contact with liquid. No recent apps were downloaded, last thing I updated was probably a mobile game (Dream League Soccer 2023)Phone info: 8GB RAM, 256GB version. Android version 12 (last security update on 1st Apr 2023), MI-UI version 14.0.4Stable/14.0.4.0(SJKCNXM)Others: Google Play store has been crashing for a few weeks after I go into the Play store and click on the search bar or my apps/updates. Everything else works fine.

Troubleshooting

1. Rebooted it a couple of times normally, same issues.
2. Rebooted into safe mode to check if it's a malware/virus that hindered normal usage, same issues.
3. Took out nanoSIM to wipe/light clean, and tried the other nanoSIM slot, to no avail.
4. Took out nanoSIM and used it on another phone, and it works fine there, so it isn't a nanoSIM card/service provider issue.
5. Went to device's settings -> "Reset WLAN, mobile networks, and Bluetooth" -> "Reset Settings", didn't work.
6. Toggled on/off airplane mode, power-saving mode, didn't work.
7. Double-checked that Wi-Fi is working for all other devices and all my bills were paid.
8. I have Malwarebytes on my phone and did an "on-demand scan"(offline), nothing was found but usually this takes 20-50 minutes, this time it took under 3 minutes and my last scan was a month ago. While scanning, there's a pop up that reads "An error occured on malwarebytes, close this app now?", which is a first. (It will continue scanning if I click "cancel" to closing the app or just ignore the pop-up).

Questions

1. Are my SIM slot and Wi-Fi chip the definitive faulty components or in what ways could I further troubleshoot to rule out malware/virus as the true culprits?
2. If it's a faulty Wi-Fi chip and SIM slot, would it be advisable to replace them by myself with the help of Youtube videos and replacement components purchased online?

Thanks in advance!

I have a few questions which I will break down below.

1. Context: 25 year old Singapore-based Burmese (F) who can speak conversational Burmese. My issue is that I can’t read or write at all and I rarely speak Burmese outside home so I struggle with the cultural context (eg honourifics).

Is there any way I can self-learn Burmese (reading/writing)? Not very close to my parents 🤠 I welcome anyone who want to practice language learning together.

1. How do I make a Myanmar ID card?

I just renewed my passport and basically my Myanmar ID is long overdue. I did not make one at all when I was 10/18. This is the main issue here because I have zero clue what is the process of going about it. I need to return to Myanmar but I don’t know where to go, what to do, how long I need, how much to prepare, especially for “under table processes”. Neither me nor my parents have much connections with Myanmar so it’s a struggle, especially since I cannot search online in Burmese.

1. IF I were to return to Myanmar, any suggestions on where I can reliably stay? Any platforms? I thought of AirBnb but seems like it doesn’t work. Are my only options hotels? This would most likely be the last week of July, so if anyone knows someone who don’t mind letting me crash, that would be great too!
   
2. Anything else I should keep in mind? Safety? How much cash should I bring for about a week stay?
   

Feel free to dm me! I would really appreciate any help :’)

-This was not televised in the live-
One thing is for sure, seems junaiz and nadira are safe (nadira had one vote btw)
Sobha/Midhun also had one vote. Vishnu had no votes.
So the real question is : did cerena nominate sobha, vishnu or midhun?
Everyone else : marar, shiju, rinosh, reneesha, cerena are nominated for sure I guess (minimum 2 votes each)
I'm guessing midhun was nominated, if he is, cerena gets my vote for today at least.
Junukka finally can rest for this week.

Alt account for privacy. My wife and 2 kids and I live far away from both of our families - like, 6-9 hour flight far. The grandparents visit several times a year, usually a few weeks at a time. We get along well with all of them, tho there is tension between my wife and her mom & stepdad more than the others. She does, however, like their decorating taste, so she often rearranges stuff at our house when they're around. (It's led a fight before when she sorta used them to do stuff I explicitly said I didn't want, but we're over that now.) Our general agreement is that I manage my family and she manages hers, so we don't put each other in awkward situations of fighting with the other's parents.
Last time they were here, my wife and I took a multiday trip, since the only time we can do anything without the kids is when grandparents are visiting. After we came back, my in-laws had rearranged a few things in the house, of which one really made me angry. Our kitchen/dining/living room is an open space in the shape of a rectangle, except with a corner "cut off," so it really has 5 sides. I had our living room rug placed so it was aligned with the 4 major walls, because that way all the kids' play areas were soft. Because the kids mess with it and because toys kept getting under it and tripping people, I used loads of double-sided tape to get the rug where I wanted it - I mean, it was clamped down hard.
However, the couch is along the angled wall, and apparently they didn't like that the rug was at an angle to it, so they removed it, including all the tape, and angled it so it is aligned with the couch and nothing else. There were gaps where the kids play (so it's colder & harder), and one corner reached into the dining room, so the chairs constantly snag on it and people spill food or drink in that area. They said (as they always do) "oh if you don't like it you can move it back." Thanks for giving me a few hours of work, but I didn't say anything then. (My wife didn't comment, but that could mean she didn't want a fight with them...or with me.)
Before they left, they took a day trip with my wife and the kids while I had some work to do. Once I finished I realized that the only time I'll have the house empty for a few hours is now, so I moved all the furniture off, realigned the rug, and placed it where I wanted it. When they came back they were upset that I had changed it back, and my wife was mad at me for doing it while they were still in town. She agreed that there would never be a time to do it when they're not but said it could wait until the next grandparents visit us (which hasn't been scheduled yet, so it's probably months away).
I think I was entitled to take my ILs on the offer to put it back if I didn't like it, since they did this without asking and it was clear from the mass of tape that I didn't put the rug there lightly, but AITA for not waiting until they were gone?

I’m currently abroad and thinking to tell one of my family members to order a Rume 2 to set up a VPN server to connect to my laptop while I’m abroad. Is this plausible or do I have to set up when I am back? I have a GL iNet Slate AX3000 with me now that I use for VPN client (NordVPN).
