Is spdif the same as optical

I'm choosing a new laptop and I have 2 options. Both of them are almost the same, they only have 3 differences.
One of them cost 570$, and has 8 GB ram, 512 GB in storage.
The other one cost 680$, and has 16 GB ram, 1 TB in storage.
Is the second option worth the extra 110$?

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

That’s a matter of opinion obviously. To my knowledge, the only fact about Twitter is that it’s always been toxic and sort of a battle zone between people with different views. It’s probably much more balanced now, as far as I can tell, also depends what exactly you’re looking for on Twitter. For every 5 tweets you might not agree with, you’ll also find another 5 that you will agree with. So I don’t see a real problem here, at least not a solvable problem. It’s just a bunch of people expressing their opinions as people like to do in the real world as well. If you’re not breaking the rules and guidelines of Twitter, you’re good and the “community notes” are one of the best things about Twitter now.

About us; This project has started recently. A team with individually experienced players. IGL has experience building a team that went into ESEA Intermediate and reached some finals. We're currently looking to rebuild the team as the previous one fell apart. Our plan is to build a team until we're satisfied with the line-up, we're planning on doing a lot of practice and tournaments until Source 2 comes out, this way we will be consistent, in top shape and have a wide stratbook going into Source 2 and we then just need to adapt the gameplans to the new mechanics. We then play other leagues such as ESEA, SCL, etc... We currently also have an organisation backing us that will fund mostly all entry fee's, social media coverage, casters for matches, etc...
IGL Vision; - most of the times you will be given a position in the T and CT defaults, this is due to the IGL believing certain roles should play certain positions in general - T vision; map control, spacing & trading - CT vision; rotation, re-aggression & info plays
We've achieved in the past months; - Volpid Series Semi-Finals - FlyHigh Finals - Authority Semi-Finals - Top #100 RMR qualifiers - SCL Intermediate (+ play-offs) - SCL Masters - ESEA Play-offs 2x
Players; ajax - 3400 elo, 2x ESEA Intermediate, 3x SCL Intermediate, 1x SCL Masters, Finalist in several leagues. szicko - 3200 elo, 1x ESEA Play-offs, Finalist in several leagues.
Available Roles: (we don't want PUG players, we want people able to work together in a system!) - Second Entry: T: play as support early in rounds so that you can survive to entry late round, in set-strats you will be the first entry as the IGL is the main entry but prefers to throw utility in set-strats so that he can get a better read for future rounds. in default rounds he will be the first entry. CT: preferably rotation but anchor is also fine. - Star Rifler: T: basically just help take map control / maintain map control, late round responsibility is throwing utility for the execute or going in as the third/fourth player entering a site. CT: you will be ending up playing as many Star Rifle positions as possible, there could be situations where we will swap it up if it's not working out but other wise we will try and stick towards the positions given based on the role. - Lurker: T: you will be second caller considering you are on the opposite side of the map compared to the rest of the team meaning you can have amazing reads. you will have decent amount of freedom but still will have to work with structure and protocols. CT: preferably an anchor but rotation is also fine.
Requirements; - Faceit 2500 elo - Active Duty map knowledge - Calm & likeable personality - Decent at speaking English - Availability starting from 7pm CET or earlier until at least 12am
What you can expect from us; - 5-6x practice a week - International line-up - Dedicated players - Goal orientated practice

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

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

When is the battle pass coming? I know we pre ordered for 20 tiers as a bonus.

I just had a dream that I was exploring an unknown beautiful park with lots of plants, trees and flowers and the sky was blue (a very dramatic blue not a normal blue sky) I was riding an office chair while exploring the park and saw 3 attractive women on a blue dress while I'm exploring it, some of the routes of the park was familiar and almost the as the one in my hometown but the rest is unknown.

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

There is a small island at -0282,0059,???? that is extremely high up. I can only barely see it if I go to the Great Sky Island and start flying towards it, but any device I try to make breaks before I’m even close. It’s the same shape as the islands where you find the stone tablets, but it’s not one of them. Anyone know how to get here? I’m curious what’s up there and haven’t found anything online yet.

To set the story I have a 4 1/2 year old orange tabby male cat named Murdock and a black female cat named Kitty.
For starters, I have a type of foyemud room in my apartment as soon as you walk in big enough to maybe fit a medium sized round table with 3 chairs to say. Instead, my boyfriend has 2 fish tanks, a lizard tank and all of the cat stuff (litter boxes, food/water (toys are sprawled through the home lol). We’ve been here for about 2 years and Murdock has never had an issue with that room before.
This Tuesday, my boyfriend emptied and refilled his fish tank and I believe a few fish got water shock or something and we lost a good amount of them (we still aren’t sure what happened, our other fish tank thrives and they were fine during this change, of course with conditioner). Now Murdock will not go into the room and seems to be afraid of the fish tank that had the casualties. As in he did not eat Thursday morning because his food was in the room and he peed on my side of the bed which he has never done. If I pick him up and carry him in there or show him the fish tank from the kitchen he will freak out and jump off of me and sprint away.
Not even joking but is he seeing fish ghosts?? What is he so terrified of? Everything I’ve read says cats don’t fear death or sense it in that type of way, so what is it?? Is he just a weird orange cat?

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

Want to collect the entire Ahmed Miles Morales run in trades as it is cheap than getting the omnibus, but the only comic that I can’t find is The End that’s in the omnibus, was wondering if it’s collected in any trades?

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

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

I have Windows 11 Pro installed on a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB Internal SSD. Additionally, I have two TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 (SATA) hard drives for storing my computer games and Windows backup and restore files. I use Macrium Reflect Free as my Windows backup software to create an image of my Windows 11 Pro installation on the Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD. The image is then saved on one of the TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 hard drives.
Recently, something went wrong with my Windows 11 Pro installation. When I try to boot into Windows 11, I encounter a stop code error and cannot access the operating system at all. I attempted to use Macrium Reflect to restore the system, and it appeared to work fine without any errors. However, upon trying to boot into Windows 11 again, the stop code error reappeared.
My computer had been functioning smoothly for a long time until one day, my motherboard received an automatic update. Since that update, I have been experiencing problems with my system. Help please

When doing hammer curls i get a feeling like a vein is jumping over my other vein, it's really annoying and it bothers me while doing curls. Does anyone have the same problem and knows how to avoid that? Thanks.

My daughter downloaded a new game yesterday, but our internet has failed and can’t be fixed until next week.
She is trying to play the game but it won’t let her without an internet connection.
I’ve read that it could be that it’s not set as her primary switch, she upgraded to an OLED recently and this could be the case.
However, the way to switch primary consoles involves logging into the eshop, but you can’t do this without an internet connection? Are we stuffed?
Thanks.

Hello! I’m looking for a video that I watched At least 4+ years ago. It was on the YouTube platform and I’m positive it was 20 minutes or less and think it was even more around the 10 minute or less mark. It was like a short film vibe to it about a sniper. He referred to his job / himself as something else if I do recall but can’t think of what he said. In the video he’s talking about the job / role of a sniper. He’s wearing a Ghillie Suit and is waiting for his target to appear. He aims at a small building and I think he even takes a shot at it to see if he got his range right. Then I remember that it was night and he had a red light out under something looking at a map or whatever and then heard someone was coming (enemy patrol) so he turned it off and waited for them to pass.
I can’t think of anything else at the moment but if I do I’ll sure add to this but if anyone knows the video or can help find it would be greatly appreciated as I would love to see it again!

Two days ago my package tracking said it would arrive that day before 7pm. The next day it said "The delivery date will be provided as soon as possible" and still says that. This has happened to me many times and normally it just comes late due to the distance but in this case, the last ping was in Long Island NY (2 days ago) and I am in Troy (also NY). Is there any reason it could be taking so long, or is it lost?
