Just thought I'd share an eye-opening recent experience.
To make a long story short, my wife had a bad experience with a city maintenance vehicle following her and honking at her while she took the lane for 3 blocks in our town. When we reported it to city maintenance department, they responded by telling us that BC's motor vehicle code requires bikes to yield to other traffic, "especially maintenance vehicles." According to the manager we talked to, this was what the police department told him. He told us we wouldn't have to yield if we were using a designated route, which we could learn about by going to the city's website. He admitted they are not marked on the street.
Suspecting that all of that is total nonsense, we confirmed the misinformation by calling the police to ask what the rules were. The constable said, yes you have to yield, but when I asked him to show me where exactly this was written, he admitted that bikes don't have any special obligation to yield. We wrote a letter to the relevant people in the city government.
Aside from the obvious need for better training for city workers and police on this issue, it brings up for me the dilemma of "share the road" signage. On the one hand, when you have it, people seem to think you only have to share the road where the signs are. On the other hand, without it, people think you don't have to share the road at all.
TL;DR Driver education, law enforcement training, and proper infrastructure will be a lot more effective that signs and sharrows will ever be.

I (19F) attend a state university in a fairly religious state. My online history professor happens to be a member of this majority religion, and he makes that very clear to us in multiple ways. he will sneak in questions and information about this particular religions history into the lectures and study guides, even though there is absolutely zero reference to them in the textbook. he’s an old man that talks like the teacher from ferris bueler, and for the life of me i can’t make it through five minutes of those lectures, so it’s really frustrating searching the dense textbook for information that isn’t there, and then being tested on it in exams that are worth 75% of the overall grade.

What’s more is half of the class is currently failing because of how much information is needed at once for the exams. there are four total, and we have had two so far. only ~30% of the class got above a C- on these exams. The professor sent out an email complaining about this, but when I emailed him offering to share the Quizlets, I make of his study guides with the rest of the class before the next exam to maybe help them study, he told me not to do it because they’re failing since they are “lazy,” essentially (i did it anyway bc fuck that guy i’m not letting half my class fail). 

Oh, he also sent a follow up email after his initial one saying couldn’t share my study sets saying that there was one student i could share them with because they live on the reservation??? which really didn’t make sense to me.
he refuses any extra credit even though more then half of his class his failing, and sent an email saying to just do the work in the first place. the only assignment s we have in this class are weekly discussion posts and the exams, so there’s not much room for error. he said that, in university settings, extra credit is almost not existent, which was a bit silly because all of my other classes offer multiple forms of extra credit.

He has also sent multiple mass emails complaining about people cheating, calling AI (chat gpt) “satanic,” complaining about how he has to spend so many hours “trying to thwart these low life, lazy cheaters.” and essentially using some pretty strong language to describe his opinions on those who are doing poorly in his class. 

I’m actually doing pretty well in his class, but every time i complain about him with my friends they tell me i should report him to the school administration, and i guess i just don’t know if that would be appropriate in this situation. any advice?

Hi everyone,
I know that "what is the best campaign" is probably a recurrent question, but mine is a little more specific and I feel like personnal feedbacks would be of better help ^^'
I am about to finish mastering Skull & Shackles and both me and my players had a great time with personal quests based on their background that I added to the campaign with a mix of tampering with the official scenario and completely made-up parts .
I ran them in a similar fashion with some videogames companion's quest (think Mass effect or the Owlcat games) a lot of small details, 2-3 small dedicated sections and a big final. S&S was a great setup for this as they had a lot of freedom regarding both travel and time. So this lead to my question:
"Outside of Skull & Shackles, what campaigns are great setting for allocating or integrating personnal quest for the players ? Since, in some of them, time is not running short and/or travels are very linear."
Thanks in advances for your answers :D

The thing is all sales and marketing is about targeting lots of people hoping someone is interested in purchasing. this is why everything is numbers-driven. Sales and marketing at its most basic form is telling a million people that I'm selling something. Now the salesperson has a chance to convince them that their product is amazing and they should purchase. At the end of the day, the problem is and will always be starting a dialogue with potential buyers.

Hello!
​
I'll try to keep this concise but since I'm not entirely sure how to properly word this, please bear with me. Currently, I'm in construction as a freelance concrete framefinisher and while it's a steady gig, It's not something that I would consider a "dream" scenario to be in. While the money is good I've seen the effects of what this kind of work does to people over time and I'd rather get out sooner than later before something permanent begins to happen to me.
​
While reflecting on what I would like to do I realized that I've always been the "fixer" for friends, family, coworkers, etc... working on the logistics behind the scenes to make sure everything is running smoothly.
Anytime a group of people are traveling somewhere I'm always the one making arrangements for tickets, hotel, visas/passports, and even plan most of the agenda once we've arrived.
Is a tool broken and the only instructions on how to fix it are in Korean? Sounds like something I would be tasked with resolving.
Need to ship a $250K dollar CNC machine across state lines by the weekend? I have 3 reputable hotshot trucking providers ready to go at the drop of a hat.
​
It's a position born out of necessity (since most people would rather throw whatever problem they have at me instead of figuring it out themselves) but after a while, I realized that I thrive in these environments and I live for weird out-of-the-box problem-solving.
The purpose of this post isn't to gloat about how much people rely on me or whatever but to display this strange feeling of purpose that I feel when I complete these sorts of tasks and what sort of work I should be looking for if I were to pursue this feeling further.
Before everyone goes and recommends getting a degree, I don't function well in a school environment. I graduated HS at the height of COVID and if it taught me anything was that I am absolutely not cut out for classroom learning.
I can power through a class and I even excelled in STEM-related honors/IB classes but it will cost me mentally and physically far more than any normal person should reasonably go through and I'm willing to admit that. If it's unavoidable I'm open to getting an associate's degree but a full 4-year feels too out of reach for me.
​
Money isn't a massive concern for me but hopefully, I wouldn't be working for peanuts. Aside from that, I'm open to everything.
​
Thanks in advance!

I had a heard a lot about this album and i already knew about Sunny Khan Durrani from La Haasil (which i consider a top 10 level dhh song) and Taaray. So while working on my practical file, i played all 3 of his albums in order. Now i didn't really fw Khabbarnaama apart from a couple of tracks and couple of parts here and there. Aetizaaz was a major step up and i really liked it but what blew me away was The Butterfly Effect which made me want to write about it coz apart from a comment or two on the best albums posts, no one was really talking about it.
The cover art shows a butterfly, obviously referencing the butterfly effect the album's theme is based on. The monochrome look matches with the dark tones of the album, similar to his previous album Aetizaaz. In the background, i ain't sure if that's a flower or broken glass. I used to think it's glass but ab lagraha hai it might be a flower.
The intro track, Distant Storms, talks about the butterfly effect, perhaps to fill in those who don't know what it is. The production and his voice sets a dark tone which continues in the rest of the album. The storm and thunder in the background really makes the listener feel like they are in for a dark ride. Really good intro.
Chup Raho 's hook is pretty catchy and the first verse talking about the old generation and figures of authority looking down and trying to dominate the youth is pretty solid. But what absolutely blew me the fuck away was the second part about the teacher blackmailing the girl. I had to stop whatever i was doing because i was absolutely stunned. The loud rough voice of the verse followed by the almost polite tone towards the chorus sent shivers down my spine. This song was the one which made me think that this might really be an actual GOATed album.
Kalakaar aur Dunya is easily one of the best storytelling songs in dhh. The song talks about (from what i understood that is, coz most of the albums in dhh don't have their lyrics released) Sunny and another guy in his class who shared a similar work in school (related to singing or poetry ig?) and though the other guy was better in studying and stuff, skd won some sort of award which the other guy felt that he deserved. After a fight between the two, a few months later, the guy scored less (i am not sure if i heard it right) leading to his parents's divorce and him committing suicide. The song talks about how the world is always against an artist and the pressure they face. Recently, my friend's friend's cousin comitted suicide because of his father's death and the pressure from MBBS. I think i heard this album the next day after that incident, which made me feel the end of the story much more intensely. A great track, arguably on par with storytelling tracks like Balli aur mein though i would still put the latter above.
Mandir Masjid talks about the animosity between the two religions and countries. I feel that the song gives a strong message about how in this obsession to protect our own religion, people from both the sides have forgotten that the other side is still human. Strip away a person's religion and country, and we are not so different really, and that's one of the parts i really liked about the song. I have seen firsthand extremists from both sides and the rising sentiments against each other. The rich and powerful people throw us against eachother while they profit on the blood of the middle class and poor. The song touches on all these topics in an excellent way. Though the end gets a bit repetitive but it's not that major of an issue, perhaps a nitpick. A wonderful song which if people actually listen to, it might lead to a brighter future for this country.
Koi Gila Nahi is a track i have listened to many times before i actually listened to the album. This song has the most replay value from all the songs in this album. SKD talks about how others around him are running for fame and money, sacrificing their art. He talks about the pressures on him and the struggles he goes through inside his own head. I love the production on this song. Though the other songs might have a better message or lyrics than this, it's still the one i listen to the most.
Pas E Parda means behind the curtains. The song talks about the backstage of the industry, how artists have power over their fans and how despite having thousands of fans, an artist still feels alone when he needs support. The hook is sung by Mooroo, feels somber and deep (i ain't talking about lyrically deep, or the voice. I am bad at explaining stuff but it feels deep, perhaps it's the production), i like it. It's a good song, but perhaps my least favorite excluding the intro and outro. I do feel that it's gonna grow on me, especially the hook which i already like a lot.
The outro, Anjaam starts with a line by Sunny, where he says that the butterfly has already flapped it's wings, now the storm is inevitable. Maybe he's referencing to his album, but i didnt really get what he's referring to so if someone else did, they can share it. The rest of the song is just beats. The production of this song and album as a whole is excellent, Sunny is a real good producer for sure. This song is mesmerizing af.
The Butterfly Effect is easily one of the best albums in dhh out there. The melancholic tone from start to finish, something he continues on from Aetizaaz, is beautiful. The stories in these songs send chills down the listeners. Sunny Khan Durrani is easily one of the best poets in the game. I am looking forward to his next album. The intro track just dropped today which I'm gonna listen to after writing this review.
The album is underrated af and deserves a lot more views. If even a couple of people check it out after reading this post I'd be glad.

So, there seems to be several distinct but still correct ways to read prophecies. If we assume that the majority of theories are at least partially correct.
Could the three heads be interpreted as three faucets of government that must be ‘appeased’ in order to rule well?
There’s the merchants, they bring in the most in taxes and have the best financial heads and experience.
There’s the army, (Which several times in Roman history was part of a coup) who protects the people.
And the third is where I waffle.
Instinctively I want to say it’s Religion (which I would call the faith if that weren’t already a specific in canon term), because religion can take in and deal with a lot of the peoples problems. Way back in our own history monastery’s were giving medical care to the sick, housing to travellers and homeless….
But I also feel the third head would be the people themselves, not religion. Religion was shown by Jaeheary’s I to be an effective way to communicate with the masses, so it sort of works either way.
And even if I felt confident that I had reconciled religion and The People as the third head of the political dragon…. There’s got to be a ton of options I haven’t considered.
So, if we assume that the dragon in our metaphor represents political power. Riding the dragon implies the position of king. And the king must appease all three heads of the dragon to avoid being thrown off and eaten…. What parts of rule would the three heads represent?

Hey all! I’m a current freshman at the University of Maryland where I am studying Computer Science. A unique aspect of our degree program is that we are required to take 12 credits in a separate department ( 300 to 400 level) to utilize the interdisciplinary nature of computer science.
I am broadly interested in bioinformatics and am currently doing research in structural bioinformatics. I would like to do a PhD in computer science and then work as a research scientist or research engineer in industry doing ML/bioinformatics work. If that doesn’t work out I think being a software engineer at a biotech company could also be fulfilling.
I am considering three different options for my secondary concentration and I was hoping to get some advice over which selection of courses would best suit my career goals.
Math/Stat
For this I would take:
MATH 405 - Linear Algebra (proof-based, already took introductory lin alg)
MATH 401 - Applications of Linear Algebra (incidence matrices, directed graphs, finite Markov chains are a few course topics)
STAT 401 - Applied Probability and Statistics II
MATH 4xx - not sure could do Number Theory, Advanced Calculus, Sampling Theory)
This seems to be the most logical as the Math background would help with AI and ML and it seems it is the hardest to learn on my own.
Bio
For this I would take:
BSCI 222 - Principles of Genetics (pre req)
BSCI 370 - Principles of Evolution (DNA protein and genome evolution)
BSCI 410 - Molecular Genetics (molecular basis of gene structure and function)
BSCI 426 - Human Genetics (focuses of specific human genetic topics using primary research papers) BSCI 379 - Undergraduate Research (already completed, my PI is in the Bio department).
(all these Bio courses have Orgo as a prerequisite which I took last semester, so i assume they will go into the underlying chemistry and not just be memorizing terms like in intro bio)
My main question would be is this collection of bio courses something that would help me in my career? Specifically would being able to see the larger scope of the computational work I do be sufficient reason to choose this pathway?
Philosophy
This may be a weird one. One of the things I have discovered about college is that you don’t actually have to register for the class to still attend its lectures. I have been doing this for CMSC 701 our computational genomics class and I have been learning a ton doing this. I think this is a very effective way to learn content but not gain mastery over content where I think actually taking the course is necessary.
Doing the philosophy pathway in my opinion would enable me to audit both math and bio classes that I see necessary but what would show up on my transcript is just random philosophy classes. While it may sound crazy I think I am actually leaning towards doing the philosophy pathway as I have a genuine interest in philosophy and it would enable me to audit relatively more classes since I would have more free time.
Which pathway would you guys think is the most beneficial to pursue? My apologies for the long-winded post, I appreciate any help a lot!!

The biggest problems that modern pilots must face in air to air combat are the ability to resist high G-forces, maintain visual contact on a target during BFM maneuvers, and the ability to rapidly process large amounts of information. For all 3 of these tasks, femboys are second to none. First and most obviously, G-forces. Femboys generally have a shorter stature to their more masculine brothers, this is known to help with G tolerance as it creates less space for blood to go and thus takes more force for the blood to leave your brain. Additionally, the glorious thigh highs squeeze the legs much in the way that a modern G-suit would, combining with the strength of those amazingly thicc thighs to help force blood back up into the rest of the body. Furthermore, due to their being male, femboys find it easier to put on and maintain the muscle mass necessary for those gloriously thicc thighs, especially in times of war where excess time and energy to workout may be compromised. Second, visual contact is perhaps one of the most difficult parts of BFM engagements. Even with the aide of modern systems, the ability to pick out the black dot in the sun could mean life or death to a pilot. Here, the black makeup typical of more gothic femboys plays a critical role in assisting femboys in their ability to remain alert and effective on the battlefield where threats can appear from any angle at any time. Third, the newest addition to air combat, data management. As airframes and avionics become more and more sophisticated, the ability to process large amounts of computer generated information and make effective decisions based on said information is critical for the success of any modern fighter pilot. It is well known that femboys have a habit of being very knowledgeable in the realm of computer science, making them particularly well suited for any role which involves digesting large amounts of computer based information and using it to their benefit. Of course, all of this could not be mentioned without bringing up the "morale" improvement caused by having such a warfighter on your side. I mean come on, he's so cute. You're already dreaming of being his wingman, don't lie to me.
In conclusion, femboys have a remarkably positive impact on any squadron's capabilities and should be heavily recruited for any airforces wishing to remain competitive on the modern battlefield.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

In the video game ‘The Last of Us Part II’, there is a character named ‘Abby’. This character was modeled after a female CrossFit competitor. All of these competitors utilize anabolic androgenic steroids and/or human growth hormone to perform superiorly to natural human physiological capabilities. This is why the character in the video game does not at all fit into a post-apocalyptic world where those synthetic drugs would no longer be produced, and any stock would’ve long since been used and destroyed.
The Last of Us Part II is one of the best video games ever created, but as a human who has knowledge on fitness and human physiological capabilities, it was disappointing to see the developers ignorantly use a model which is intrinsically unrealistic for that world. And it does matter, because while the story is obviously greatly fictitious, they are going for deeply grounded characters. They materially failed when it comes to Abby’s muscularity.
It is possible for a human female to attain that muscle mass, but only one who utilities generous—and dangerous—quantities of androgenic drugs.
Now, the reason I want to draw attention to this is because these drugs that actors like Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Chris Pratt, Hugh Jackman, Henry Cavil, Tom Hardy, and innumerable others, use, are in fact, known to cause dangerous side effects. If in fact Druckmann and HBO choose to cast a person who does not already utilize these drugs, then they will either require that woman use these dangerous drugs to achieve that physicality, or they will simply disregard the source material they created, and go with a natural-looking female physique. Hopefully it’s the latter, for the sake of the actress’s health.
The model they utilized for Abby’s physique in the video game can be seen in CrossFit videos. You can see her distended abdomen. A distended abdomen is a common side effect of HGH (human growth hormone) use as well as insulin-like growth factor injections. This is caused by swelling due to fluid accretion in the body's tissues. And it can be prominently seen given the person’s low body fat. Of course they also use anabolic androgenic steroids which come with their own set of dangerous and unwelcome side effects:

Hey all! I’m a current freshman at the University of Maryland where I am studying Computer Science. A unique aspect of our degree program is that we are required to take 12 credits in a separate department ( 300 to 400 level) to utilize the interdisciplinary nature of computer science.
I am broadly interested in bioinformatics and am currently doing research in structural bioinformatics. I would like to do a PhD in computer science and then work as a research scientist or research engineer in industry doing ML/bioinformatics work. If that doesn’t work out I think being a software engineer at a biotech company could also be fulfilling.
I am considering three different options for my secondary concentration and I was hoping to get some advice over which selection of courses would best suit my career goals.
Math/Stat
For this I would take:
MATH 405 - Linear Algebra (proof-based, already took introductory lin alg)
MATH 401 - Applications of Linear Algebra (incidence matrices, directed graphs, finite Markov chains are a few course topics)
STAT 401 - Applied Probability and Statistics II
MATH 4xx - not sure could do Number Theory, Advanced Calculus, Sampling Theory)
This seems to be the most logical as the Math background would help with AI and ML and it seems it is the hardest to learn on my own.
Bio
For this I would take:
BSCI 222 - Principles of Genetics (pre req)
BSCI 370 - Principles of Evolution (DNA protein and genome evolution)
BSCI 410 - Molecular Genetics (molecular basis of gene structure and function)
BSCI 426 - Human Genetics (focuses of specific human genetic topics using primary research papers) BSCI 379 - Undergraduate Research (already completed, my PI is in the Bio department).
(all these Bio courses have Orgo I as a prerequisite which I took last semester, so i assume they will go into the underlying chemistry and not just be memorizing terms like in intro bio)
My main question would be is this collection of bio courses something that would help me in my career? Specifically would being able to see the larger scope of the computational work I do be sufficient reason to choose this pathway?
Philosophy
This may be a weird one. One of the things I have discovered about college is that you don’t actually have to register for the class to still attend its lectures. I have been doing this for CMSC 701 our computational genomics class and I have been learning a ton doing this. I think this is a very effective way to learn content but not gain mastery over content where I think actually taking the course is necessary.
Doing the philosophy pathway in my opinion would enable me to audit both math and bio classes that I see necessary but what would show up on my transcript is just random philosophy classes. While it may sound crazy I think I am actually leaning towards doing the philosophy pathway as I have a genuine interest in philosophy and it would enable me to audit relatively more classes since I would have more free time.
Which pathway would you guys think is the most beneficial to pursue? My apologies for the long-winded post, I appreciate any help a lot!!
