Which is a good genuine shop to buy or test my car battery. My car is 5 yr old car is not starting battery shows 12.25. mechanic on phone asked to change battery. I hear the starting sound, if battery is dead ideally it should show a tick sound so want to check before replacing.

(I’m 21 btw) Did a bunch of stress eating in the past 5 ish months and gained like 15 kilos (33 pounds) …ik it’s terrible and I literally lost that much right before that which sucks BUT I’m getting back in the grind and gonna burn this sucker off. My q is that in that time I noticed that my voice literally got so much higher?!?! I literally used to have the deepest morning voice ever literally pop smoke sounding and I used to be able to easily talk like that throughout the day but now I talk pretty high pitched through the day and sound like I’m a prepubescent teenager again sometimes (even got noticed by a few people) and it takes a lot of effort to talk in a deep voice which sounds so forced.
Can someone tell me a reason for that or what could have caused such a change. Getting fat change hormones or smfn???…but I thought that voice deepening during puberty was permanent….also I’m not sure if it was def coz I got fatter, I just said that as it’s the only massive change I noticed… I also post a lil bit of hair and my beard kinda slowed down growing and kinda stopped.

I, for the love of me, can't find a bag that I really want. Here's my checklist:
​

• 20-25 liters
• no padded laptop compartment
• a couple or a few external pockets
• nylon or ballistic nylon

Literally all I want.
TIA

So tonight I was sitting my level 39 range LFG, and I get a message asking if I could take over for this in the hole. Given winners of experience there, it didn’t seem like a particularly great place for level 39 to be. Mom
But I decided that I would engage with someone said I could be over there in about 25 to 35 minutes depending on how the port situation as.
I also contemplated that it was a tough night to be deciding between that and Diablo four. He said you have a can Diablo get you an. RchmI told him maybe I’ve had too long a day that I was missing that abbreviation and I asked him what item think he was referring to. I had to find a druid to get me some sure fall Glade, all the way out to Southborough took a little bit, but when I told him I was looking for taxi and the last thing I have asked them for one’s what ours HCM was he said I’m gonna stop you right there and push you want ignore. For the life of me I can’t figure out what actually happened in the scenario. Like I’ve played teal, she’s on and off for most of the last nine or 10 years, but I’ll play for a year and then quit for to come back. But just telling someone to go fuck themselves when you ask them a question seems a little dramatic. Can anyone explain what this item was the remediation was this and did it warrant whatever the extreme hostility on his run seem to be?
In short, I love after house 23 or years of our request. We still have people who are content to make you spend 35 to 40 minutes of your time and money to get to there can only tell you that they don’t need to jail and you’ve now been added on ignore. All I really care about is what I did so I can avoid it next time but for the life of me, I can’t figure out what the fuck it was.

So your girlfriend went for a routine doctor's appointment and then you found out it was something called a smear test and they tested for HPV. Wtf - your girlfriend has an STD?!!!
You should read the sticky post here to educate yourself fully, but to present a more concise primer, here are a few things in particular that you should know:
(NB: for ease, have written men and women but please assume people with penises and people with cervixes if you are trans, nb or other. I've also based this mainly on positive smear results rather than warts, because this is a more common incident that we see on this board) .
Having HPV is extremely normal:
- 80% of people will get genital HPV by the age of 45, and after a few sexual partners, your chance is close to 100%.
- Most infections happen within the first few years of sex life, so prevalence in late teens to early 20s is very high - almost half of women of this age will have an active high risk infection right now. For all types of HPV it may be as high as 70% for college-aged women. Note that the figures are probably similar for men.
Most people don't know they have it:
- Most HPV infections are symptomless,
- In most places, cervical smears are only done after a certain age and may only be tested for HPV after a certain age, too (e.g. 25+). This is because it's simply assumed that younger people will have HPV and it will probably go away with no problems. Cervical smears with HPV tests are designed to find those persistent cases that don't clear up, and can therefore pose a potential danger.
HPV can hang around for a while and recur later in life:
- Most infections clear up within a couple of years, but some last longer.
- A small % can come back even after immune suppression
- Therefore, even if you've been in a monogamous relationship for some time, it's still not weird for HPV to come up
Do I have HPV too?
If you've been having regular sex (genital or oral contact), even with condoms (which only mitigate but don't prevent HPV transmission), there's a good chance you share the infection. Maybe it came from her, maybe it came from you. Where it came from is both impossible to know and not very important.
(I've not seen data on dental dams but we know that female/female couples often share infections, too).
You should probably assume that you either have her strain now, or may have already immune suppressed it.
How can I have an STD? I've never had one before
STD panels only test for a small number of possible infections, and even if you have been practising 'safe' sex, it's still very possible and indeed probable to have something (look up the prevalence of HSV, for example). With HPV in the mix, there is a very high chance that you have had, have or will have 'an STD' in future.
In the modern world, because of the aftermath of the AIDs crisis, and our increased scientific knowledge, mixed with toxic purity culture, there is so much stigma around STDs. But HPV is something that's pretty much impossible to avoid - even virgins have a small chance of getting it, and with one lifetime partner the chance is somewhere between 20 and 70%.
If you are stigmatising your gf and/or yourself, just stop. HPV is not something you can ever fully prevent, unless you were to live life in a polythene bubble. No sex is truly safe, but we take the risk because, when consensual, it's a good, fun, natural part of a healthy adult life.
P.S. don't use the word 'clean' - nobody is 'dirty' for living their life, and that includes you!
Should I get tested?
If you have a cervix, you don't need to rush to get a test outside of your regular smear schedule. In fact, they may not allow you to do this. This is because smear tests are a cancer-screening tool, not an STD test. As there's nothing one can do about an HPV infection and most just go away, it's not considered clinically relevant to constantly test for it. Cervical smears are done on a schedule because they want to find those infections that stick around, so the person can be monitored and potentially treated if it becomes necessary.
If you have a penis, in most places, testing is not commonly done. This is because it's both unreliable in commonly used methods, and clinically not very useful.
Will I get warts?
If your girlfriend has been tested via a smear, it's likely that her infection is high risk. This is because most smear tests don't bother looking for the non-oncogenic strains. If you're not sure, she should clarify with her doctor. Most warts are caused by low-risk strains. While high-risk strains can cause warts, this is not hugely common so you should not expect to develop them (although it's perfectly possible to have more than one kind at a time, and in different parts of the genitals).
Can we still have sex?
Yes, regular partners can keep having sex, because you will share the infection already. You may wish to use condoms, which are shown to lower the viral load shared between you and therefore make it easier for the body to deal with the infection.
Can we still have oral sex?
If you're both unvaccinated, there is a risk that you share HPV16. This is the riskiest strain for oral cancer, so you might want to use protection or abstain from oral in that instance to lower the viral load in the mouth. However, if you weigh up the risk and feel that it is low enough to feel comfortable proceeding (e.g. she is vaccinated, or you know she has a strain other than 16) then sure, go ahead.
Should I get vaccinated?
Imo, yes. Gardasil 9 protects you against 9 of the most prevalent and riskiest strains, including 7 cancer-causing types and the 2 that cause 90% of genital warts. Although it's not proven to help a current infection, there's some limited evidence to suggest it *may* help regress more advanced abnormalities and support male bodies to produce antibodies against the included strains. Additionally, it gives you future protection against the included types (and you're unlikely to have had all 9).
Men can get vaccinated, too, and it's licensed up to age 45. You should search for ways to get it in your location - it may be free in some cases (e.g. in the UK, if you have sex with men, or in countries with health insurance if covered by your provider), or you may need to pay.
Am I going to get cancer?
Although high risk strains of HPV can cause cancer, that doesn't mean they will. Relative to the numbers of cases, cancer is not a likely outcome.
Cervical cancer remains the greatest risk of persistent HPV (those infections that hang around for a long time) but keeping up with screening means that anything dangerous is likely to be caught in time and can be treated.
Oral cancer rates are rising and it's the greatest risk for men. That said, only 1% of oral HPV infections become cancerous. At the moment, there's no screening programme, because it's not a useful way to identify those infections that could persist and become dangerous.
The best thing to do at the moment is to go to the dentist regularly and ask them to check you out.
Penile, anal, vulval and vaginal cancers are not very common. You may be able to get an anal smear test, but it's not available everywhere. Otherwise, you should try not to obsessively think about this - many, many things in life give us a risk of cancer and we tend not to worry about them. Just keep a gentle eye on your health and do all the things you already know you should be doing to live a happy and healthy life.
Do I need to go on a crazy health programme?
No. There is some evidence that stopping smoking can help prevent HPV cancers, but you already know that smoking kills so why are you still doing it?! There's currently no data out there on weed or vaping, so you can make your own call on those ones.
Exercise, sleep, eating vegetables - all good things for your health and life. But most people's bodies just deal with HPV naturally anyway, and there's no proven routine or single thing you can do to absolutely guarantee anything.
If it makes you feel better to do something, and you feel like making a change in your life, however, maybe this is your wakeup call.
What about my future in dating?
As above: most HPV infections go within a few months to a couple of years, and almost everyone will have a past or current infection. If you are seeking new partners imminently (i.e. in the next few months), you may want to discuss it with them (e.g. check if they're vaccinated), but beyond this, unless you have a cervix and get a positive test result at your next smear, there's no obligation - it's really up to you (there is a lot of nuance here and different people will have different strong feelings on the matter).
What can I do to support my girlfriend?
Thanks for asking the most important question.
Your girlfriend might be worried, confused or upset. Many doctors are pretty rubbish at dealing with HPV-related stuff. Share any information you learn and make sure you approach HPV together in a non-judgemental way.
Ask if she wants you to accompany her to appointments, and afterwards, make her a nice hot drink, get her a blanket, bring her cookies, kiss the top of her head, you know - all the lovely partner things you can do to make her feel safe and loved.
Some people might feel weird about sex after diagnosis so please be understanding and keep communicating how you both feel. Acting entitled and pissy because someone won't do xyz thing with you is jerk behaviour and if that's your attitude, fuck right off.
Sex is not the only part of a relationship and if you need to pause on some things for a short while, nobody is going to die. Sex toys and masturbation are absolutely a thing.
If you are privileged enough to have a partner and a healthy, happy relationship, that is more important than an infection that almost everyone will get in their lifetime. Lots of us with HPV don't have this luxury, so don't be a fool about this - thanks.

My eating habits are bad, my immune system has decreased, and I'm anemic. The first image shows a photo of a multivitamin pill, and the second shows a complex of B vitamins. Can I have one every day? I'm 23; therefore, I don't know if it has an excessive amount of vitamin B.

So I recently bought the Berzerko from a local mall here in the Philippines. And let's just say I have mixed opinions on it.
Included with the box:
-1X Berzerko (Disassembled) -2X Circle Style Dart holders -1X Rectangle Style Dart Holder -48X Air Pocket Technology Darts
Installing the priming handles are pretty simple, they simply screw on and off.
Starting with the front, there's no N-Strike Barrel Lug. But there is this unremovable barrel, this barrel is relatively wide and most likely won't affect performance, and there's 2 X-Shot rails on the left and right side. Moving on there's the cylinder, it holds 8 darts but it's not like a Strongarm where you can eject it out. But it holds 8 darts and can be easily rotated. On the top is another X-Shot rail and a scope, the scope is pretty hard to see through and you really have to smash your face or hold it like a pistol to see through it.Moving onto the priming handle, this is a side prime blaster, to prime you pull the handle back, and it automatically retracts back, however this handle actually broke on me, and I wasn't even slam-firing, just on normal usage, and so I had to use duct tape to stick it back together, more on this in my opinion. Moving onto the trigger, the trigger pull is slightly harder but other than that it's pretty standard, but this blaster does have slam-fire. Moving onto the grip, even for me as a guy who's 5'8, this grip is probably the worst grip X-Shot has to offer, the thumbhole stock inherently restrict wrist movement but with here it bangs onto my hand a lot, it's way too small, but it's certainly not as bad as some ULTRA, Doomlands, or most Buzz Bee grips, more on that in my opinion (also you may have noticed, yes this is basically a Coop772 review). But below that sits another X-Shot rail, moving onto the stock, it's a fixed in place, non adjustable stock. It's too short for taller people to use, but for me it's good enough. That is an external overview of the blaster itself, now onto the Dart storage. The circle one holds 23 darts, while the rectangle one holds 20. They both have a mechanism where you can detatch this notch that connects to the dart holders, that can then attach to the blaster, this blaster also seems to have picatinny style tails but I'm not sure if this can take Nerf attachments, as I'm on vacation and don't have any attachments. And this blaster also has an attachment that is used to combine the Insanity blasters into one.
Now to the firing demo, yeah I don't really have a chronograph but assuming from other blasters, I'm guessing this has a chrono average of 80 Feet Per Second. But I did have some space to do some range tests, and flat shooting this thing got around 50 feet, and with an angled shot and a little bit of luck, it could reach 90 feet, I did not have any jams or malfunctions while using this blaster apart from the priming handle breaking.
Now onto my opinion, this blaster is probably the worst blaster X-Shot has in shelves, I could defend the grip but despite its cost here (25$), having such a faulty priming handle is unacceptable, and if it weren't such an easy fix, this would be an elite 2.0 blaster, well i mean it already is, this is basically just an Eaglepoint with better internals, more dart storage, and at a cheaper price point. So overall it's definitely not the worst blaster out there, no jams and only one handle broke, and I'm not sure if I got a lemon or not, but berware. And if you're really willing to buy this blaster, make sure to prepare some duct tape, and I hope- no, beg, that the rest of the series isn't like this, I hope that we didn't get fooled to only get a disappointing series, and hopefully the Longshot Pro will redeem this blaster, until next time, and that's about it, cya.

I have a pair of small condensers with a 23 cm diameter and want to add wind protection. The Rycotes’s baby balls though come only in ≤ 22 or 25 cm sizes. Is it better to get the bigger one to fit my microphones or the smaller one and try to bend it to fit? I am a bit confused because I cannot try it myself and don’t know which plastic/material is used in those Baby Ball protections. Would really appreciate your help! Thanks.

Hey. I used to watch my brothers play 40K around 25 years ago! I've always wanted to get into a Warhammer universe game and recently convinced a friend to do so. I'm in my early 30s and don't have a massive amount of time. I'm also conscious that 40K rules are quite in depth and the games are 5/6 hours and so, through research, came to the conclusion Kill Teams could be a great, less daunting option for us.
​
I went into a Warhammer store today and basically said the above to the guy and asked if he agreed. He said he usually would, but said he'd actually recommend Combat Patrol in the 10th ed of 40K. Games will be about an hour and it's a more simplified streamlined version of 40K.
​
You all obviously have a MUCH better understanding than I do. May I ask if you agree with him and if so why, or if not, why? Also What are the major differences between Kill Teams and Combat Patrol (10th ed). Thank you!!

Hello Reddit!
I've been looking into the mechanics on how Skyrim determines which enemies to spawn depending on the location and your current level. It turns out this is something that is still poorly understood with lots of incomplete or inaccurate information on the internet.
Some NPCs simply set their stats to a mathematical formula that scales with you smoothly, like NPC Health = Player Level * 20, but many generic enemies have multiple leveled versions with fixed stats that suddenly upgrade at specific thresholds. It is this second leveled character type that is a bit more complex to predict, hence why I looked into this.
I compiled multiple sources and tested several formulas manually to tweak them until I finally got predictions accurate to what the game actually ends up doing.
I hope all of this information will be useful!

Levels used for Calculation

Resolved Level: Each location in the game has a minimum level. It can also have a maximum level, but only 5 areas actually use one. If your player level is below the location minimum, the game uses the location minimum. If it is beyond the location maximum, it uses the location maximum. Otherwise, it uses the player level. If no maximum level is set (it is set to 0), only the minimum is checked.
Reference Level: If the leveled character settings for the NPC contain a level different to the actual level of the NPC, it uses that level. Otherwise, it uses the level of the NPC for spawn calculations.

Difficulty Modifiers

Each enemy being placed by the game usually has a difficulty flag that is completely unrelated to your game difficulty. Easy is usually used for groups of enemies. Medium and hard enemies are usually ones placed by themselves and very hard is almost always used for bosses. Still, lots of areas may tweak these flags to make an area unusually easy or difficult by using different tags than usual. I have yet to find any real enemy without a difficulty although a set logic for this situation still exists and will be applied if you spawn in enemies with console commands which share an internal ID.
Easy: Select a random NPC with a reference level equal to or below the resolved level multiplied by 0.33. If no valid target exists, select the weakest available leveled version.
Medium: Select the highest level NPC with a reference level equal to or below the resolved level multiplied by 0.67. If no valid target exists, select the weakest available leveled version.
Hard: Select the highest level NPC with a reference level equal to or below the resolved level. If no valid target exists, select the weakest available leveled version.
Very Hard: Select the lowest level NPC with a reference level beyond the resolved level multiplied by 1.25. If this would result in the same enemy as the hard setting, use the next higher leveled version. If no valid target exists, select the strongest available leveled version.
Unset: Select a random NPC with a reference level equal to or below the player level. If no valid target exists, select the weakest available leveled version.

Automated Calculation

I’m currently still working on a simple web tool which uses this logic to accurately predict your enemy encounters. You can test it with the following link.
Just make a personal copy to fool around with it without getting disturbed by other people using it at the same time. I’m fairly confident with its accuracy at this point, though there may be more enemies that have reference levels set in their character template that differ from their actual level, resulting in shifted level-up thresholds. I marked all these cases I discovered so far in red.

“Greetings, film enthusiasts! I wanted to share with you an intriguing list of films that revolve around the theme of destined meetings. This compilation was generated with the help of OpenAI's ChatGPT, an AI language model trained on a wide array of texts, including movies, books, and more.
