  • You have multiple interests but don’t how to attract people to your work (for work to be valuable, it needs people that deem it valuable.)
  • You already have a one-person business but aren’t confident in the quality of your social media posts, newsletters, or content as a whole.
  • You are already writing online but don’t have a systemized way of creating content that stands out (without templates or copying others).
  • You haven’t started learning a skill and want to learn one that you can sell on its own, or enhance the impact of every other in-demand skill.
  • You are earning with your time instead of your mind and want to build a foundation to reverse that.
  • You have followed the common advice of “learn a skill, sell the skill” with little success (because you don’t have attention, authority, or an audience).
  • You are sick and tired of learning skills that lead to nowhere — and that you don’t see yourself doing for more than 10 years.
I could go on, but by now you should know whether or not learning to write better, faster, and original-er is worth it to you.

2023.03.20 22:25 OverthinkingMachine 8P Audi A3 front right speaker replacement

I've had my 2009 A3 since 2012 and the speakers have lasted all this time (surprising, since I like a lot of bass), but over the weekend, the front right speaker has finally decided to give out, giving that staticky, busted sound.
I've done plenty of work on my car myself, but this will be the first time replacing a speaker. If I'm just replacing the speaker, do I need to mess with any wiring? I don't plan on getting any special type speaker.

2023.03.20 22:24 Androgy-Jess Doomsday scenarios...with the internet.

I don't know if I actually need to poke any more holes in crypto rationale or lack thereof. But one thing I notice is that crypto people tend to fantasize about some doomsday scenario where the global financial system melts down completely and leaves the crypto economy as king by default (and leaving early adopters high and dry, obviously). But also, this global crisis would ostensibly have to leave the internet intact in order for crypto to continue functioning, right?
Don't get me wrong. Here I am on Reddit. Obviously I love the internet. And I'm no survivalist; I kind of go through life assuming that I will leave the world essentially the same as I came into it. But I am kind of skeptical of putting literally everything, including things required to live a functional daily life, on the internet. There have been times in my life, even my recent life, where I have not had internet access. I've been in remote areas where there's no signal, I've experienced natural disasters where the electricity or telecom lines are down, for days. And my first thought about the whole El Salvador thing was "really? Does every farmer in El Salvador who wants to sell their crops or whatever actually have the internet?" I know there have been times in my life where I've been stuck somewhere and I would have been shit out of luck if I hadn't had a $20 bill in my wallet.
It just seems really foolish to me to want a world in which you must have internet access in order to do any sort of monetary transaction. Also, it seems highly likely to me that any sort of event that actually threatens the traditional global financial system would probably take the internet down with it, and then all of the precious funny money would be gone (or at least temporarily inaccessible). Are these people so attached to the internet that they can't even imagine a world without it?

2023.03.20 22:24 Allychanel0321 Manifesting for others and in return

Hi everyone! I’ve been able to manifest so many things including my SP (check out my story), I’d like to try to manifest for you guys in return of “you and your sp will stay together”, “your sp loves you and is obsessed with you” in return. I just got him back so obviously I’d like to hear those things in return if you would like for me to manifest for you, you can dm or even comment. (Just remember whatever energy you give is what will come around)

2023.03.20 22:24 Strange_Stop6984 Weird…..

My CEL came on in my 2012 Passat SEL 2.5 last monday during a longer than normal drive but not quite a road trip and NOTHING seemed wrong, I did not have time to get the cold read until that weekend, then when I’m headed out Saturday morning to go to get the code read, I start the car that morning and it stays on for a few seconds after starting up, then it’s gone, just turned off, so I drove around for a while to see if it came back and nothing. Perhaps it was just a glitch?

2023.03.20 22:24 zurajanaipandada My mom gave my friend a deadline to move out but they have poor mental health.

Tw: mention of potential suicide.
They're also my ex. I'll try to be brief but idk that's hard. From the start when we gave them a place to stay where I live with my mom, they promised they'd move out in 1 or 2 months without rent in exchange for extra chores, there was instability at their previous place and they had a mental breakdown through text, a series of very many texts that expressed all they needed was a stable home, so I reacted in panic by offering them a place.
Bc their ADHD they would struggle to look for work and frequently not follow up with it, and lo and behold they're still here after over 3 years. They also frequently do not do chores and also leave a mess for me and my mom to clean. Eventually my mom was over it. Not only did they never lay any living expenses here including food, she even cooked for them sometimes. They did eventually start doing lyft though but it's hard to make enough since they have the lyft rental.
They never got their ADHD treated despite me finding them an assessment and also I have autism so it's not easy for me either. I finally gave them a therapy mandate---I told them it's required.
Throughout the relationship they have mentioned that they'd rather commit suicide than be homeless. It was never stated as a threat, but for me, I always remember it. And now my mom gave them a deadline so they had another mental breakdown (they had them on and off many times the past 3 years, many of which resulted in me offering them money for their debts.)
So my mom finally set her foot down, gave them a deadline (2 months) and since they had their breakdown, they said they'd really actually change.
Well, since then this past weekend they barely worked. I was understanding on Friday since it was fresh and they said they were too anxious. But Saturday they only worked a bit, maybe an hour or two. Then yesterday they asked me to give them back rub so they can have some comfort before work. I did so, but they didn't work.
The entire day they spent at home. If you guys know lyft, supposedly weekends are more lucrative, and they just skipped this weekend despite insisting they'd change.
I, who have been struggling with my own anxiety since their last mental breakdown, just lost control today. I shouted at them, saying that they only think about their own mental health while I'm falling apart dealing with this, and how I always walked on eggshells not to set off another mental breakdown around them.
Well, I think it probably made them feel worse. I'm trying so hard because I don't want them to kill themselves. I don't know what to do. I don't believe anything they'll say anymore because all the times they didn't follow through. I don't think I can handle this anymore.
I also know for sure that if they do end up committing suicide it's going to affect me for the rest of my life. I'm already traumatized about my dad's dead from illness and feeling responsible. I don't think I'll be able to move on if they kill themselves.
I also struggled with being suicidal in the past and used to self-harm. And I do so much to try to keep myself mentally healthy because of it.
I'm also currently waiting for the finalization of my Healthcare packet so I can get therapy, too.
Anyone have advice?

2023.03.20 22:24 SkyeFlyHi how I left.

first, thank you for this podcast, I've been binge listening for the past couple of weeks, and it really has made me stop and think about what I was force fed as a child. I was just listening to the episode about Josh leaving the church and I figured I would share my story as well.
some beginning information, I'm a 21 year old transwoman who lived with, and was homeschooled by, my grandparents and I used to go to a rural Ohio Church, it was a small family church that didn't really belong to any specific sect. I'm not sure if I ever truely believed in all of the teachings, but I remember being terrified of hell so I was at least that far in.
What really drove a wedge into my belief was the story of Judas, I was always taught that both; Judas was a terrible person who would go to hell, and that Jesus was destined to be betrayed. But I could never come to terms that a just God would force a man to go hell, so that Jesus could die for our sins.
What REALLY hit the wedge and shattered my faith, was the death of my mom, she was a non-believer, and my grandma was NOT gentle about telling me that she was going to hell. Keep in mind I'm 13-14 when this is happening, this FUCKED me UP for a looong time. my mom was a good person, she did drugs, and hung out with not the best people, but she truely loved me, and I could not fathom why she would be punished for enternity even though she was such a wonderful woman.
Eventually I came to the realization that it was all lies, built with the express purpose of tricking people, the path to realization was rocky and it took alot of deprogramming, because when you are a Christian, you don't realize just how much of a racist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, piece of shit you are! In your mind you are "helping these people find God." Even to this day, I'll catch myself in a homophobic lie that was drilled into me during my days in church.
Eventually, the absolute final straw, was discovering I was transgender when I was about 18, and knowing that if I were to come out, every religious person I knew would absolutely hate my guts.
Anyway I've been typing way longer then I thought would be so I'll end this here, thank you again for this podcast, it really has helped me realize, just how silly it is to believe that this clearly imperfect book is the Word of God Himself.
<3 ✌🏻

2023.03.20 22:24 reblstgb He almost never initiates and I'm sick of it.

Hi, this is my first post on here. I don't remember how I found this subreddit but it helped me realize that I'm not the only one with a problem like that. I'm 24/F and my boyfriend 23/M and I have been together since 3 years. I don't necessarily see myself as HL but he's LL for sure. We never had that much sex and I was perfectly fine with it until we moved together and now it came down to once in 2 or 3 weeks. At the beginning of our relationship, he (not often but sometimes) initiated and that made me feel attractive and wanted. I always struggled with my body image and weight. But now he does not seem to have any interest in initiating at all and that makes me really sad and disappointed. It's not that he rejects me whenever I try to initiate, he wants it too. But nothing ever comes from him. I totally understand that he has a stressful job and that there are many thoughts going around in his head. That's what he told me at least. We've discussed it many times and he doesn't even know why, he always says that's the way he is. We both were in a relationship before and he once said that he had more sex with his ex girlfriend. Well I had more sex with my ex boyfriend too because it wasn't that one-sided... I just don't know what to do anymore. It's not that I always want to have sex 24/7, I want intimacy, the feeling of being desired and not having to start every damn time. Thanks for hearing me out. And sorry for any mistakes I've made, English isn't my first language.

2023.03.20 22:24 RevealDisastrous1246 Aita for not wanting to go with my (now ex) boyfriend to the family reunion after his grandpa’s dead.

Me (30f) had a 3 years relationship with my now ex-boyfriend (27M). Little recap we met at work back in May 2019 and got in a fckfriends relationship. None of us wanted to have one so we used to just go out, do whatever we needed and then to our homes. I began feeling something and since we agreed to end everything if something like this happened then I proceed as we agreed and ended everything before something else happened.
My brother used to play COD with him and like 2 month after we ended he invited him to our town for the weekend (this was in December 2019) and told him to bring me to spent holidays with the family. We agreed and in that weekend we reconnect and decided to be together since after our “separation” he began thinking that he also felt the same way with me. By January 2020 I move into his apartment so we can live together since my job at that time was way more convenient near his apartment than mine.
By the time the pandemic started we notice we were expecting our first baby (now 2 years old girl) and since everything happen so fast he decided to take me to his parents house to live (by that time I only met them once in December) since everything was going to close.
His parents had a house and prepare the house so we can live together and by July 2020 we move in that house.
Fast forward this time (take into consideration that we haven’t had the best communication but somehow maybe ignoring everything we manage to tolerate both of us) Also keep in mind we had another baby girl that at this moment is 8month old. Since I breastfeed we haven’t had any time for ourselves non intimancy whatsoever. My body is not the same as before I had my girls and I had 2 C-sections. So trying to recover from that have been really difficult and exhausting for me (not trying to excuse myself I try to do the best I can with the time I got since I left my job to become a stay at home mom as we agreed he would bring food and money and I will stay at home)
Last week on Saturday my ex boyfriend lost his grandfather (95M) a sad lost I gave him the information since he was at work and they told me that first. And on Sunday we went to be with his family and I was there with them until 10PM something like that. He had to work and couldn’t have a leave to attend those days so everything went normal at home. That entire week I text his mom through whatsapp a few times to ask about everything and send her pictures and videos of her granddaughters so she can have something to help her get better of the lost of her father.
My 2 years old is at school and is something really important to me to teach her to be responsible with that. Keep Also in mind that this was the same way my mom teach my brother and I and this is my experience with school. My ex boyfriend had a different experience since he used to pay baseball and had an especial treatment at school since he only went to take the exam and send homework. So he didn’t have to attend everyday.
He asked me on Saturday if we can skip school to spent Sunday and Monday (his days off) at his moms house. I said that on Monday my 2 years old had school and I don’t fell like it was necessary for her to skip school if she can spent the entire Sunday with him and his family. I didn’t want to go because I needed to do a costume for a spring festival at school for my 2 years old daughter. And that I can used some of that time for myself since I don’t get to have some time for me since I usually put everyone before myself (yes I know I should manage everything and have some time for myself but I have always put everyone first) so that he can take both of the kids and attend the reunion of his family.
He then told me that he understand how things are and that if I didn’t wanted to go i am an adult and is not necessary for me to attend and that we are going to do what is important to each one and he left. (Yes I could go and take everything to do the costume at my mil house but since I breastfeed my experience whenever I need to do something is trying to talk to anyone to take my 2 years old for me. To be able to complete whatever task I’m doing and if my little baby begin to cry they always say that is that she needed to be feed and the milk I extract so that they can feed her was not enough so they handle her for brestfeeding to me so I didn’t want to have that same experience again and to be able to have that time for myself)
He then left on Sunday alone to his moms house and left me with the kids since it was not important to him that they spend that time like I suggest.
On Monday he came and told that on Sunday everyone in his family went and that his cousin wife that have a job and 3 kids went also and help with the cooking (to clarify his cousin family live near his family and they have a lot of help of his and her parents and pays someone to help with the house chores )
And then things began to turn to the dark bad side because every time I try to say something he interrupts me saying something himself that I didn’t said and were his version of the things that happened (our lack of communication usually started like that since I shut up myself when he began talking at the same time and didn’t give me the opportunity to express myself ) and he said that since his family and him were not important to me is better to end our relationship (he say that cursing and yelling) and I agreed we ended since I have no strength to keep trying what we had. After a few more thing like he telling me that I don’t have to use HIS car to pick up our daughter at school (we had one car only) and that if I don’t respect him as a partner I have to respect him as a person as a man and say and do whatever he said and I told him in not his daughter so I don’t have to and then there was more cursing and yelling from his side and since I don’t want to keep arguing with him because I understand how he is feeling right now but I wanted to have sometime for myself I just wanted to know if aita in this situation.

2023.03.20 22:23 Top-Addendum-6879 Trying to help a friend --- team games

hi
i play with my wife, most of the time and let's say i'm more of a multi-tasker than she is, so now she's starting to fall behind me... so often, i'll end up slowing down my pace to give her the chance to attack the enemies, because if i don't i'll usually wipe out the enemy before she's even got the chance to send an army out...

just wondering, in your opinion... when you're often playing with the same teammate and he/she's a bit weaker, how can you become a better ally for them?

2023.03.20 22:23 MayContainPeanuts What audio interface should I get if I need it to be standalone (ie. work without a computer)?

I have a standing desk with a roland keyboard (fp90x) and two studio monitors (yamaha hs5). I currently run the roland output directly into the monitors, but I'd like the option to set plop my macbook on the upper level of the desk, plug in a USB-C cable, and play my guitar through ableton and through the studio monitors. I think that an audio interface would be a good solution here.
The issue is that I don't want to leave my laptop on the desk and I don't want to change cables every time I want to use the desk for playing guitar. So I need an audio interface that works without a computer. Here's my shopping list:
Standalone audio interface that works without a computer (it's fine if it needs an initial setup with a computer) At least 4 inputs. 6 would be nice. 2 outputs at least USB-C connection 192hz midi in/out low latency (as much as possible, but I honestly don't have latency issues with my 2i2) I'd like to keep this under $500 if possible. I hear RME is very good, but it's a bit too much for my needs. Any good places to start?

2023.03.20 22:23 PuzzleheadedBet1419 Top 5 Best Wi-Fi Router in 2023

Figuring out what the best router for your needs can be complicated. We've tested the top Wi-Fi router brands so you can find the right one for your needs.

Take a look at this list: https://quizience.com/best-wi-fi-routers-for-2022/


TP-Link Archer AX21
Best budget router

Wi-Fi Standard

Wi-Fi 6

Speed Rating

AX1800

Range

Up to 2,500 sq. ft.

Wireless Networking Security

WPA3

Bands

Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)

Available for $100 (or less if you catch a sale), the TP-Link Archer AX21 is an entry-level, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router that supports top speeds of up to 1,201Mbps (1.2Gbps) on its 5GHz band. It's nothing fancy, but it offered near flawless performance for small- to medium-size homes in our tests, and it's a cinch to setup and use thanks to TP-Link's Tether app.

Best of all, when tested against other, similar routers from names like Asus and Netgear, the AX21 held its own with faster download speeds, better range, and low latency, too. Add in a functional bandsteering mode that automatically steers you between the 2.4 and 5GHz bands within a single network, plus guest network controls and even a quality of service engine for prioritizing traffic to the most important devices on your network, and you're looking at a decent home networking upgrade that's as simple and affordable as it gets. It isn't powerful enough to max out speeds on a gigabit network, but it can still hit consistent close-range speeds near 700Mbps or so, which is more than enough for most households. Read our TP-Link Archer AX21 review.



Linksys Hydra Pro 6 (MR5500)
Best midrange router

Wi-Fi Standard

Wi-Fi 6

Speed Rating

AX5400

Range

Up to 2,700 sq. ft.

Wireless Networking Security

WPA2, WPA3

Bands

Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)

If you've already got a budget router running your network and you're ready to upgrade to something more powerful, the Linksys Hydra Pro 6 belongs high on your list. With a dual-band, AX5400 build, full support for Wi-Fi 6, and 160MHz channel support for moving data more efficiently, it was an excellent performer in my speed tests, even managing to outperform flashier picks like the also great Asus RT-AX86U.

The Hydra Pro 6 is a touch pricey as dual-band routers go, but the steady, consistent performance makes it a standout. Try and catch it on sale if you can, but if you just want a reliable, no-frills router that can keep up with gigabit speeds, look no further. Read our Linksys Hydra Pro 6 review.



TP-Link Deco W7200
Best mesh router overall


Wi-Fi Standard

Wi-Fi 6

Speed Rating

AX3600

Range

Up to 5,500 sq. ft. (two devices)

Wireless Networking Security

WPA2, WPA3

Bands

Tri-Band (2.4 and two 5GHz)

For the best performance from your mesh router, you'll want to prioritize getting one with support for Wi-Fi 6, plus a tri-band design that includes three separate bands of traffic: the usual 2.4 and 5GHz bands, plus an additional 5GHz band that the system can use as a dedicated wireless backhaul for transmissions between the router and its satellites. Most mesh routers like that cost at least $300 or even $400, but the TP-Link Deco W7200 gets you there for less than $250.

That's the best deal I've seen for a tri-band mesh router with support for Wi-Fi 6 -- and sure enough, it's an excellent performer, as well. In fact, the only system that managed to outperform it outright in my at-home speed tests is the AX6000 version of Netgear Orbi, which costs more than three times as much (keep reading for more on that one). On top of that, TP-Link's setup process is about as easy as it gets, with satellite extenders that automatically join the mesh as soon as you plug them in. Read our TP-Link Deco W7200 review.



Asus RT-AX86U
Best gaming router

Wi-Fi standard

Wi-Fi 6

Speed Rating

AX5700

Range

Up to 2,500 sq. ft.

Wireless Networking Security

WPA3

Bands

Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)

Gaming routers promise high performance and low latency for die-hard gamers, and it isn't uncommon to find them selling for $300 or even $400. At about $270 or less, the Asus RT-AX86U dual-band router isn't inexpensive either, but it's a strong value relative to routers like those -- and the performance it delivers as a gaming router is flat-out great.

Most noteworthy is the router's latency management. In fact, it leads all of the routers I've ever tested, gaming or otherwise, with the lowest average latency across all of my tests, which online gamers will definitely appreciate. Something else you'll appreciate: An excellent mix of app-based controls and features, including a mobile boost mode, that lets you prioritize gaming traffic to your phone at the touch of a button.

Gaming features aside, the RT-AX86U offers full support for Wi-Fi 6, with strong, stable speeds and good range. If you need additional range, you can add other Asus "AIMesh" devices to your home network to make it the centerpiece of a mesh.

That checks off all of the boxes that most people want from a good gaming router, and it gets you there at a price that isn't too painful for us to recommend. Even if you aren't a gamer, this is still one of the best Wi-Fi 6 routers you can buy right now. Read our list of the best gaming routers.

2023.03.20 22:23 uraqtpi2me First written work: Scott Pilgrim vs The World

Here's my first written work, based on Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
Before the scene, as well as the beginning of the scene: https://youtu.be/It6Q4L12Kd0
The scene: https://youtu.be/4SNAMNWqPBs
The dialogue I wrote for Ramona is made up by me, not her actual responses in the movie. Scott's lines have also been pre-adjusted by Winnie to make it work better as a monologue.
Who am I? I am Scott Pilgrim, 22 years old. I am dating a 17 year old Chinese girl named Knives Chau who goes to a Catholic high school. People judge me for dating a high schooler. I've lost feelings for her as my eyes are now set on Ramona Flowers. Breaking up with Knives is too hard for me right now because it hurts so much to be alone. But I won't let that stop me from getting with Ramona. After all, she is my dream girl. By the way, I'm in a band and I share a bed with a gay roommate. I've been dumped about a year ago and I haven't had a haircut ever since; I've been cutting it myself. I think my hair looks too shaggy and I worry what others think about it. The drummer in my band is another one of my exes.
Who am I talking to? Ramona Flowers, my dreamy American crush who has been on my mind this whole week. She works at Amazon and I ordered a package just so she would show up at my door. I must get a date with her. Unfortunately I'm a stranger to her and she is a very closed off person. This will take some convincing.
Where am I? I am in my house in Toronto Canada, standing at my front door looking at Ramona. There is snow outside.
Objective: I must get Ramona to go on a date with me.
S = Scott Pilgrim (me) R = Ramona Flowers
[I go to the bathroom in my house to pee. When I walk out, I am in a high school hallway. I see Ramona skating past me down the hall.]
S: Hey!
[I chase her. Around a corner, I see her standing in front of my front door, which is covered in snow. She reaches in her bag for a package. I wake up. I jump out of bed and run to my door. Just as I begin to open it, Ramona rings the doorbell. She is standing right in front of me.]
[START OF SCENE]
R: uh. Scott Pilgrim?
(This is the moment I've been waiting for. Ramona is right here on my doorstep. Now's my chance to ask her out. But first I should greet her, because otherwise I would seem weird.)
S: Hi.
R: You must be Scott Pilgrim.
(If I asked her out she might say no and that would hurt really bad. Maybe if I just tell her I was planning on it then she will let me know if she is interested.)
S: I was thinking about asking you out, but then I realized how stupid that would be.
R: why are you telling me this?
(Shit, this is awkward. But I can't let her leave without getting a date with her. I must ask her directly.)
S: So do you want to go out sometime?
R: I don't even know you. Why are you asking me?
(Maybe if I tell her she was in my dream she will think we are soul mates.)
S: I just woke up, and you were in my dream.
R: What happened in the dream?
S: I dreamt that you were delivering me this package.
R: why?
(I can't tell her that I had planned all of this out. That would appear creepy. Oh no... I guess I'll just hope for some sympathy...)
S: Is that weird?
R: Yes; I don't even know you.
(Wait. She might not even know who I am. Maybe if she knew then she would go out with me.)
S: You don't remember me, do you?
R: No.
(She doesn't know. I should remind her.)
S: We met at the party the other day.
R: were you the Pac-man guy?
(Oh no. She probably thinks I'm a weirdo for that. I must make her think it's not me.)
S: No…I wasn’t the Pac-man guy.
R: I could have sworn it was you.
(If I admitted to it then she would think I'm a liar. I have no choice but to adamantly double down.)
S: Not even.
R: then who was he?
(I have to make something up or else she will catch me in my lies. But if I'm too specific she will know it isn't true. I also want to distance myself from the imaginary guy so she doesn't think I'm weird like him.)
S: That was some total ass.
R: and you?
(Oh shit. There's no way I can keep this up. I'll just say something generic that she can't disprove.)
S: I was the other guy.
R: just sign for your package already.
(I can't let her leave. But I need to at least acknowledge her request so she doesn't think I'm rude.)
S: Look…I know you need me to sign for that- whatever it is.
R: please do.
(Shit, what do I say to make her stay? I guess I have no choice but to be upfront.)
S: But if I do, you'll leave.
R: you're annoying me.
(I don't know what to say, I'd better jusy go with the flow so she doesn't get angry.)
S: Okay.
R: I'm waiting.
(Wait. I can't let her go now after all of this effort. She said no to a date, but maybe I can get her to hang out with me and try to turn it into a date.)
S: Well, maybe, do you wanna hang out sometime?
R: Why should I?
(I want her to get comfortable with me enough to date me. But I need to find a casual way to say it.)
S: Get to know each other.
R: why YOU?
(She seems to think I'm not worth her time. Maybe I can make her feel like I'm doing her a favor.)
S: You're the new kid on the block, right?
R: so what?
(I need to make her think she will benefit from hanging out.)
S: I've lived here forever, so there are reasons for you to hang out with me.
R: reasons?
(Shit, I don't really have anything to offer. I can't make an awkward pause. I'll just tell her what I want.)
S: I want you to if that's cool.
R: not convincing.
(That didn't work. I need a real reason for her to agree. She's itching for my to sign my package. Maybe I can use that as a bargaining chip.)
S: If you say yes, i’ll sign for my package.
R: fine. what's the plan?
(Yes! Now I should try to impress her with my band performance at our hangout so she will want to date me.)
S: Come to this first round of this battle of the bands thing.
R: Why that?
(Now's my time to appear cool so she'll want to date me.)
S: I have a band.
R: are you good?
(If I say we're good she'll think I'm arrogant. So I should say we're bad. Reverse psychology, right?)
S: We're terrible.
R: that isn't appealing.
(Maybe if I use the magic word she will agree.)
S: Please come.
R: fine. See you there.
(I should get her phone number so I can keep her accountable as well as flirt with her so she'll want to date me.)
S: Oh wait, can I get your number?
R: sure.
(I should let her know how much I appreciate it so that she'll think I'm a gentleman.)
S: Wow... girl number...
R: um...
(That was awkward. I should wrap it up and get our date confirmed before I mess it up.)
S: So yeah. 8:00?

2023.03.20 22:22 Dry-Jello9672 Top 10 Best Wi-Fi Router

Figuring out what the best router for your needs can be complicated. We've tested the top Wi-Fi router brands so you can find the right one for your needs.

Take a look at this list: https://quizience.com/best-wi-fi-routers-for-2022/


TP-Link Archer AX21
Best budget router

Wi-Fi Standard

Wi-Fi 6

Speed Rating

AX1800

Range

Up to 2,500 sq. ft.

Wireless Networking Security

WPA3

Bands

Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)

Available for $100 (or less if you catch a sale), the TP-Link Archer AX21 is an entry-level, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router that supports top speeds of up to 1,201Mbps (1.2Gbps) on its 5GHz band. It's nothing fancy, but it offered near flawless performance for small- to medium-size homes in our tests, and it's a cinch to setup and use thanks to TP-Link's Tether app.

Best of all, when tested against other, similar routers from names like Asus and Netgear, the AX21 held its own with faster download speeds, better range, and low latency, too. Add in a functional bandsteering mode that automatically steers you between the 2.4 and 5GHz bands within a single network, plus guest network controls and even a quality of service engine for prioritizing traffic to the most important devices on your network, and you're looking at a decent home networking upgrade that's as simple and affordable as it gets. It isn't powerful enough to max out speeds on a gigabit network, but it can still hit consistent close-range speeds near 700Mbps or so, which is more than enough for most households. Read our TP-Link Archer AX21 review.



Linksys Hydra Pro 6 (MR5500)
Best midrange router

Wi-Fi Standard

Wi-Fi 6

Speed Rating

AX5400

Range

Up to 2,700 sq. ft.

Wireless Networking Security

WPA2, WPA3

Bands

Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)

If you've already got a budget router running your network and you're ready to upgrade to something more powerful, the Linksys Hydra Pro 6 belongs high on your list. With a dual-band, AX5400 build, full support for Wi-Fi 6, and 160MHz channel support for moving data more efficiently, it was an excellent performer in my speed tests, even managing to outperform flashier picks like the also great Asus RT-AX86U.

The Hydra Pro 6 is a touch pricey as dual-band routers go, but the steady, consistent performance makes it a standout. Try and catch it on sale if you can, but if you just want a reliable, no-frills router that can keep up with gigabit speeds, look no further. Read our Linksys Hydra Pro 6 review.



TP-Link Deco W7200
Best mesh router overall


Wi-Fi Standard

Wi-Fi 6

Speed Rating

AX3600

Range

Up to 5,500 sq. ft. (two devices)

Wireless Networking Security

WPA2, WPA3

Bands

Tri-Band (2.4 and two 5GHz)

For the best performance from your mesh router, you'll want to prioritize getting one with support for Wi-Fi 6, plus a tri-band design that includes three separate bands of traffic: the usual 2.4 and 5GHz bands, plus an additional 5GHz band that the system can use as a dedicated wireless backhaul for transmissions between the router and its satellites. Most mesh routers like that cost at least $300 or even $400, but the TP-Link Deco W7200 gets you there for less than $250.

That's the best deal I've seen for a tri-band mesh router with support for Wi-Fi 6 -- and sure enough, it's an excellent performer, as well. In fact, the only system that managed to outperform it outright in my at-home speed tests is the AX6000 version of Netgear Orbi, which costs more than three times as much (keep reading for more on that one). On top of that, TP-Link's setup process is about as easy as it gets, with satellite extenders that automatically join the mesh as soon as you plug them in. Read our TP-Link Deco W7200 review.



Asus RT-AX86U
Best gaming router

Wi-Fi standard

Wi-Fi 6

Speed Rating

AX5700

Range

Up to 2,500 sq. ft.

Wireless Networking Security

WPA3

Bands

Dual-Band (2.4 and 5GHz)

Gaming routers promise high performance and low latency for die-hard gamers, and it isn't uncommon to find them selling for $300 or even $400. At about $270 or less, the Asus RT-AX86U dual-band router isn't inexpensive either, but it's a strong value relative to routers like those -- and the performance it delivers as a gaming router is flat-out great.

Most noteworthy is the router's latency management. In fact, it leads all of the routers I've ever tested, gaming or otherwise, with the lowest average latency across all of my tests, which online gamers will definitely appreciate. Something else you'll appreciate: An excellent mix of app-based controls and features, including a mobile boost mode, that lets you prioritize gaming traffic to your phone at the touch of a button.

Gaming features aside, the RT-AX86U offers full support for Wi-Fi 6, with strong, stable speeds and good range. If you need additional range, you can add other Asus "AIMesh" devices to your home network to make it the centerpiece of a mesh.

That checks off all of the boxes that most people want from a good gaming router, and it gets you there at a price that isn't too painful for us to recommend. Even if you aren't a gamer, this is still one of the best Wi-Fi 6 routers you can buy right now. Read our list of the best gaming routers.

2023.03.20 22:22 TheGrrreatPapyrus At 24 fps, how fast should a fluorescent light flicker?

Working on a Backrooms project and I’m trying to figure out how many frames the lights would go off and then back on and then back off, etc. - I’m stuck on a school laptop though, so I can’t exactly just render the whole thing to test every time ._.

2023.03.20 22:22 Mysterious_Falcon672 What is going on after the first date?? Me (M23) and girl (F19)

I (M23) went on a date with a girl (F19)that I have known for the past year, and now I'm not sure what's happening.
We hung out, watched a movie and chilled. After the date we hugged and she drove home. (We have been friends for a litte while before so I want to take things slow hence no kiss)
The things that has me confused is that she can take up to 12 hours to respond, but is not hesitant to schedule a new date.
I have also noticed that she usually replies around the same time every day. I had no vibe of the date having gone bad. She also initiated for most of the date, asked me to hang, moved in closer on the couch and put her head on my shoulder.
So I'm unsure what is actually happening now, is she testing my interest as a precaution or am I in denial and she actually doesn't want to hang out much longer?
Tldr: went on a date, and girl is now being distant on messages but still seem interested in meeting.

2023.03.20 22:22 Own-Opposite1611 [S] [USA-GA] Panasonic GH5 with V-Log L, Metabones 0.64XL Speebooster EF to MFT adapter

This is a repost since my last post is almost a week old and no one will see the previous price drops I've already made for the camera. Timestamp is for today's date though.

Got a Panasonic GH5 for sale with a Metabones XL 0.64 EF to MFT for sale. The camera is in very good condition with some very minor sensor dust. Nothing major. Everything works as it should. Getting rid of it as I have no need for it. I'm missing a spare charger for the battery but I'll charge it before shipping it out. Just make sure to have your own battery charger since I only have one dock to charge my S5 batteries and need it. No box.
The Metabones adapter is pretty scuffed but it works fine. The element is in great condition. I don't have any caps for it, but I'll wrap it up to protect it from dust as best as possible during shipping.
TLDR:
Thanks for any interests. Feel free to ask me any questions.
