We are a land of many different peoples. Pervinca is the shipping capital of Periwinkle lands and a protector of her shores. We are tough, smart, and a bit rowdy at times. If there is something the citizens here hate more than an empty glass it is the Orangered menace!

2023.06.02 19:57 minecate3 Cape style home - cooling question
In our area it’s 90F today. We have central air in a cape style home and a Honeywell T10 thermostat (with separate temp sensors) so I have it “tuned” to the temperature in the second floor master bedroom. The unit itself is old, around 15 years. I recently had an HVAC tech take a look at it and he concluded it would probably last at least a few more years as the refrigerant was on the lower side but not urgently low, and that it might struggle to keep up on hot days.
Being the hottest day of the year so far I turned on the AC early around 10am to see if it can maintain temperature upstairs (it’s set to cool to 73). It’s currently 78 upstairs and slowly warming at 1:30pm.
My question is, does this seem normal for a cape home with central air, or indicative of a need for new HVAC system? Trying to determine if a new unit would actually help keep the upstairs cool, or if the only real solution would be a separate window unit or mini split.

2023.06.02 19:52 m2orris Non UL Listed/Certified EV Chargers & Adapters
We recently purchased a 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S AWD and it did not come with a Level 1 charger. Not having a level 1 charger did not really bother us since we had a Level 2 charger installed at home. We just completed our first road trip where we talked with other EV owners while charging and decided that it might be good to have a portable Level 1/2 EV charger just in case we get stuck between super chargers someday. We also thought that a Tesla to J1772 adapter would be nice to have to connect to Tesla destination chargers at hotels and businesses while on the road.
So we went to Amazon, looked up the highly rated top sellers and purchased a portable Level 1/2 EV charger and Tesla to J1772 adapter. When they arrived we unboxed them and noticed neither had UL Listed or UL Certified markings and a no UL file numbers (i.e. E######) on the devices, or in the manuals, or on the product websites. For an example of UL Certified and UL Listed devices see
https://imgur.com/a/VnUuLBU 1) Emporia Level 2 EV Charger - "UL Certified" label and UL file number E528156
2) Toshiba laptop charger - "UL Listed" label and UL file number E132068
3-4) Lectron Level 1 / Level 2 Portable J1772 EV Charger (12 Amp / 32 Amp) with Dual Charging Plugs (NEMA 5-15 & 14-50) - no UL information
5-8) Lectron [Only for J1772 EVs] Tesla to J1772 Charging Adapter - no UL information
The UL file numbers can be verified up at:
https://productiq.ulprospector.com/en/search Google "UL Listed vs UL Certified" to understand the differences. This is one discussion ...
https://www.polycase.com/techtalk/electronics-tips/ul-listed-vs-ul-certified.html One ad on Amazon ad stated:
"SAFETY CERTIFIED: Rest assured that the Lectron Tesla to J1772 adapter is safe and reliable, having undergone UL testing for your peace of mind". Doing any UL testing is good, but is it UL Certified, doubtful. To make the
"having undergone UL testing" statement, they could have done one UL test and called it a day.
To us it seems that plugging in a non UL Listed/Certified EV charger or charger adapter into an EV seems like a bit of a gamble. Be careful what you buy.

2023.06.02 19:52 confusedProgrammer39 I'm so upset that I'm not as smart as I was in high school
"Burnt-out prodigy" or the "gifted child" syndrome really took a lot of confidence out of me. And on bad days, it just feels downright dehumanizing. After being so used to getting good grades easily, learning faster than others, receiving constant praise and validation, when being faced with a challenge it feels like everything you learned and worked so hard for was just... Wasted. Like, did I actually learn? Am I actually not exceptional? Or rather, am I actually stupid?
And yes, there are studies that show the extreme psychological effects of reward and punishment system on children. I also read a study about how child prodigies actually tend to be less successful in their careers than non-child prodigies. And that just irks me. Are we just going to be destined this way?
The optimistic answer is no. There's always room for change, right? But how do you change the literal neurological structure of a brain so indoctrinated with self-inflicted expectations?
For almost all my conscious life, this is how I learned to live. How do I unlearn something I've known for all my life?

2023.06.02 19:45 Tremere1974 A Scale of Vengance
Hello! This story is based around u\MelasD 's Amelia the level zero [Hero] universe where its citizens operate under a game-like system for the use of magic. If you wish to read ahead a bit, more is posted
here on the Amelia subreddit. Thanks for reading!
A Scale of Vengance, Part one.
We knew the [Hero King] was coming, and others may say the Island Fortress of Last Anchorage was unprepared for his arrival, but against the [Hero King] what can anyone do?
When our nation joined the coalition against him, we sent our patreon, the great Sea Dragoness Carana, not expecting to lose her within moments of the start of the battle. We also sent the majority of our military strength to fight on the mainland, who were slaughtered to the last soldier.
So, to say we were unprepared is to say we failed to act. When the [Hero King] decided to take our island, the outcome was preordained, and our position at the end of a Island Archipelago meant evacuation was largely impossible, even if the [Hero King] was not using our own ships we had used to move our Army to the mainland to invade us.
I found out though, that when hope seems lost, sometimes a final roll of the dice can alter the fate of the world. I Am Talia, and this is my story
.***###***
I woke up, readying myself for another day of tutoring, as befits the 16 year old Third Prince of a Minor nation. I was expected to serve in the military protecting the Kingdom of Last Anchorage, but until very recently the idea of an Army from an Island nation as anything but a purely ceremonial unit had been the butt of many a joke told in local taverns.*Knock Knock* I heard the servant of the day, likely Jannytt checking on me.
“I’m up, I’ll be down for breakfast soon.” I said to the door, and soon the sound of footsteps heading away from the door allowed me to loosen my hold on my dagger, a gift from my Uncle who led the army against the Tyrant king, riding the Great Dragoness who shared her nest with my ancestor, a pact that time could not erase.
Tensions were high, and there were undoubtedly those who thought slaughtering the Royal family would save our island, so tensions were high for all of us in the castle. I dressed in haste, but did not leave my dagger behind when I arrived at the eating table of my Father.
My Father was leading by example, eating no more than what was rationed to the average commoner, as our Island could not feed all its people by what grew in its tropical soils no matter how much the [Druid] blessed it. We had been a nation of traders for hundreds of years, and now we were the last bit of land not held by the Tyrant King on this side of the Icarian Sea, so without trading partners we starved, from the poorest commoner to my father the King.
We ate the Gruel served to us without a word said, not even bothering with bringing up prisoners to use as poison checkers. The Tyrant King had no need of poisoners, as such could be used against himself. We all knew that there would be no quarter taken or given when the Tyrant arrived, and the thought made my stomach rebel and smiling sadly, I gave the remaining portion to Princess Maria, my 10 year old sister who smiled as I roughed her hair before standing up to leave, the dinner table being a family place, where decorum could be waved off, and we be a family, if only briefly.
“Prince Talio, I have need of you today, your studies are canceled though your tutor will accompany us.” The King said, looking out the window at the shorebirds circling on the thermal that most days blew up the seaside cliff that Castle Carana was built upon.“Yes, Father” I said, before following. We walked as my father led us outside the Castle, surrounded by my classmates, the remnants of our Military Academy in full armor. The City Guard was keeping the peace, but conversely were the force most likely to act to end my Family’s reign and thus their allegiance was best not tested.
We arrived at the Temple, where the [Priest] was holding yet another service, keeping the people’s hopes for a miracle up. Hope was all we had to sell, after all.We of course had a private balcony overlooking the temple plaza, so we sat down to listen to the end of the [Priest]'s service.“I have had a message from our patreon deities, the Tyrant King’s abuses have been heard, and we have been given a boon, a Holy Miracle to bring a new Guardian about as was written upon our founding. Do not lose hope, my people, no darkness lasts forever.”I leaned over to my Father “Hope we get that new guardian fairly quickly, huh?” I said, half in inquiry, and half knowing damm well only a dragon could protect our island from Invasion sans a miracle of some sort.
As the commoners filed out, we mingled among the few ship captains attending who served as lords in Father’s court. It was a courtesy and a rare opportunity to mingle outside of a court setting, as being under the Deity, all were equal in her temple.I was curious as to today’s events when my tutor, Lady Benning arrived. She curtsied, as was formal for her, and as Father’s attention was elsewhere, I gave her permission to rise.“A big day for you, my Prince. And Quite the honor too.” She said, clearly excited, and seeing I knew naught about why and what she referred to, that was half her smile, getting the drop on my information gathering was a habit of hers. If I ever became king, she would be my head knight if I didn’t or couldn’t take her for a concubine.
Her [Swordsmaster] skill was impressive, but she was the whole package brains and brawn, though sadly a decade older than I, so I didn’t press on courting her, though having had her for a tutor for the past three years gave me plenty of opportunities to.
“I hope so, if the [Preist] is right, and you know I’d do anything to prevent the Tyrant King from winning.” I said, offering her an elbow, which she took, as we walked to the center of the temple, where our hopes had been laid…literally.
We approached the central Dias, and together With the [Preist] stood a hooded woman wearing robes as we approached the central dias. I activated my skill [Judge] which allowed me to see the truth of things, and looked at the Stranger’s status.
Lady Kara Veela age 55, [Prophet] lv**Skills: Foresight, Prophecy, Judgement
My Knees almost buckled. Lady Kara, the Stormcrow, the harbinger of disasters was feet in front of me. This obviously did not portend well, but honestly with the [Hero King] on the way, she probably had brought buttered popcorn for a ringside seat.My Father, however, had always welcomed her, and in truth had sired 3 kids on Lady Kara, my half siblings, who fortunately were considered illegitimate for the line of succession, though they had been knights and ministers in service to our kingdom. This did nothing to improve relations between my late mother and her, however.
So seeing her here was a bit of a shock.As my father reached the duo, he took her hand and kissed it and even those weathered features she boasted managed to show some color. Good on you, Dad!The [Priest] smiled before patting me on the back “You are looking well, my Prince. Today, you stand to do a great service to our world as a whole.”
I bowed “My duty is clear then, though my path remains clouded, good priest.”
Oddly, it was Lady Kara who answered for the priest.”Your actions today may save more than your life, but play a part in fighting the corruption of the void that is creeping across our world.” These words were spoken with the power of prophecy, and I knew to not argue the point.
I did feel awkward, moreso as My Father, The Priest, Lady Kara, and My Tutor, Lady Benning took places in the great spell circle, where runes guided the formation of great magics. This left me in the circle with the pedestal, on which stood the sole Dragon’s egg that our guardian left for us.As the circle activated, I asked “What do you wish me to do?” As I reached out to it, feeling the egg’s surface, and after a second’s contact I felt the warmth within, and a faint pulse of magic kept in time with my own heart’s beating.
“Embrace it, let it know you want a new guardian” The Priest's low voice said clearly, and so I did, focusing my feelings of watching the former guardian play in the sky and waves, jealous that I’d never experience that kind of freedom, or have that kind of strength to defend those I care about.
As I did so, I felt an echo from within the egg, beckoning me, showing me what it meant to be a dragon. I have to say, being seduced by a guardian spirit was kind of nice, all in all.As the visions of power and flight unfolded, it felt more and more like instead of watching a dragon, I myself existed as the dragon, and for that moment, I let myself go, reveling in something that had been a dream since I first saw our dragoness protector.
****===****
As he watched his son disappear, consumed by the power of their magic, funneled through the circle, and the magic granted by the deity that watched over them, he knew that he’d seen his son for the last time as the magic finished, and he dropped to his knees.
“Llywnd, it was necessary.”
The warm hand of my concubine and best friend Lady Kara comforted me as she kneeled down, embracing me as I wept for my son, for my kingdom, and not least, for myself.For a moment, I wasn’t King Llywnd, but simply a father, selling his bloodline to defeat a great evil, not wholly different than many a parent who had watched their children board a ship to fight the Tyrant king’s army, and who never returned to their arms afterwards.
I cursed Kalustus Kal, or whatever the whoreson who the system called [Hero King] was calling himself, losing myself in grief and hate, just a Man, in an extraordinary circumstance.Another hand rested on my shoulder and a soft voice reassured me.
“I’ll watch over your son, you have my oath that my blade will serve your family for as long as I draw breath.”
I looked up into the eyes of the [Swordsmaster] “Thank You, though if you wouldn’t mind watching over Maria too?”
“Of course,” She said, no fancy oaths, no pomp or pride involved. The simplicity of that broke me from the moment’s weight, and a Palanquin was brought out to transport the Egg to the docks. I stood, my legs betraying my resolve as I reached out and touched the Egg
“Be safe, and remember always, your Father’s love.” I whispered, then kissed it, feeling the magic flare briefly, feeling my son’s soul leap within, before we parted, forever.

I'm going to apply for my Master's in mechanical engineering abroad and I'm planning to find a related job after graduation and eventually become a resident in my destined country. My two available options are Canada and UK. Which one would you recommend and why? (One of my biggest concerns is not being able to find a job after graduation as an immigrant)

2023.06.02 19:42 ShadowOfTheKylossus Custom San Jose Sharks Captain America Military Appreciation Jersey!
| I was jealous of all the beautiful custom Military Appreciation jerseys y'all have been putting out, so I just had to do one for my Sharks. Snagged one of those blank MA tarps off of eBay once it hit an acceptable price. Went with a prototype variation on an existing Terry Smith Shark design (cheers to u/TealTown22), loved the look of it being in motion because this being a military jersey I was going for the connection of when they'd paint Shark faces on the noses of airplanes back in the day. The Fin logo for shoulder patches was a natural choice, and both designs look so sick in the camo green and black. Being a military jersey I had to go with a Captain, and who better than Captain America Joe Pavelski? Even went the extra mile with a camo version of Cap's shield (and bonus, it goes nicely with my Pavelski WCOH full set). Had ArtDispatchers on Instagram cook up all my crest and patch ideas, and then took everything over to u/aUsefulTool to assemble it (pun intended). He killed it like he always does. So there we have it, the one of a kind Joe Pavelski Captain America Military Appreciation jersey for the San Jose Sharks. submitted by ShadowOfTheKylossus to hockeyjerseys [link] [comments] |
2023.06.02 19:42 ass-doctor- Who enjoys going on night drives and taking late night showers? 26 m [chat]
I went on a late night drive yesterday and it was so much fun. The empty roads and clear skies make one of the best combination ever. Do you go on night drives or walk often? What makes you happy? What about night shower or baths?
Also I recently watched run on Netflix and it was a good one imo before that I watched The last black man in San Francisco. What kind of stuff do you watch or listen to??
I love watching it rain from the window of my room, especially when we have thunderstorms and lightning, it just makes it better.
Also do you guys have any embarrassing or funny stories to share? Like I slipped on ice three times and it was embarrassing lol once was when I got out of the bus and slipped right away . So I’m wondering if anyone else would like to share their funny moments haha.
Anyways I love nature and animals and birds. I wanna see a tiger from up close, I wanna hold an eagle or at least try to cause they’re sooo huge. Wby? What do you have on your bucket list? Has it become so big that it’s become a well-list 😂. Well that sounded funny in my head. Also I love horror and crime movies. Although I watch all genres but those are my favourite. Not a big reader but I try sometimes. If weather permits I go play tennis in the summer. So yea I’m just looking to chat with some interesting people and talk about interesting things or dumb things or whatever lol . You’re free to talk about anything . Everyone’s welcome

2023.06.02 19:38 kalevcon Quick vent: trying to plan this wedding on a budget and hate feeling like I’m being “cheap”
To start off, I live in a high-cost of living area, so nothing is cheap here. I’ve busted my butt doing everything in my power to keep this wedding reasonable, all while still spending more than I like.
Throughout this process, I’ve settled with this fact of cutting corners on things I’d love to have but can do without (videographer, Photo Booth, an evening reception).
And yet, I still get little comments here and there that make me almost feel bad. Like a family member complaining that we are having my shower at the same place as the engagement party (it was the most affordable while still being great)..or posting in a local bride group for “affordable” options of something and getting insane prices.
The one that set me off today was a travel agent telling me point blank that she didn’t think my budget was something she would be able to work with and that I would need to up my budget by $3000 (flat out not true for the research I did on the destination I was looking at).
I’m just feeling like I’m spending all this money and yet it’s not good enough.
