Hi,
I’ve had PCN’s sent by post that I plan to contest in court if it comes to it.
If I am taken to court and lose, and if I pay the fines within the 30 days can anyone confirm for me whether this will affect my credit score in any way?
I’ve checked online but I’m seeing conflicting information when I look and struggling to find a definitive answer

So theres a mission called Bear One Another’s Burdens and it was where rufus and jack and john go out to hunt. And i dont know why but in the remaster of the pc its called John Marston and Rites. I tried to explain it to ChatGPT but it said its probably just a rename. Am i the first person who found this out. Or no? I tried asking for sources and then the GPT didnt have any sources. I didnt play the XBOX or PS3 version ever cause i was too broke to afford a console in that time. So if you can help thank you! | r/reddeadredemption | post | r/reddeadredemption | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2TTdwMWs4WlQ1RUViN0lhYXBJTVpEWVBSZHdEUldMNkpQU0ppTVg5Q3BBN3BaaXFTVmNKQVZJcGRHREJRenZja2VsWTNPNHR0QkhCV2ZuZjdHQlZkRklETnR3TmF3M1hvMWlMeWlWYVNXRlk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWbmR0ZHctLWpPNGV0eWg3U3RXUUl3dkF6eGFqblFYSFExZFIxVDE4dUxQTjltdmljMkJCTFNSQ2dtcGI0a0xfRFoxODRocUVGS19HT2lRd3RRZGNCcUdsbkN4WUFWSVRqMHdRRmFBWllBbm9wcG9XaVEwQW1BOFVxb0hyUnFsb0hNNTJsUzRKcmJseERWVEZ4VEdLaUdpQWRQaXZ2bUF6aTlIR1dfcFJfWnZzQ2l6bkxzRlo3SGpaV2dSdjdDVzMxcS1kemtBbnhNb3pOQlZUbVdVaW5lUT09 |
What is the risk of set a "Vampire the Masquerade" in a whole continent region with multiple states rather than a City?
I come from dnd 5e, and it's really normal to me setting campaigns in whole continents for multiple regions.
I see that in VtM the manual - but even all the examples i've seen around - are all set in a single city. Why is that? Or better, could i just expand and just set it in a whole state or region? What is the risk of doing this? Is there a specific reason other than worldbuilding style? | r/rpg | post | r/rpg | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2REU3Wm5mVjRfWlptS3ZPU2gzY1dJbFNYNlN1SzQ3WHlhNXdrUmZYTWUwaWhNTEw0X2tNVC0tdzRYY0w4RXlDdGZRUlUxT29wT3pRTFVRVXUyRC1uTkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWOWd0N25LVGU1aXN6UHFjZWxDekd4XzRheGdBNUFOZjVZV0ZfSzRGYWxwSVRod0RGTjh5c1A5cFNxczJ4bmw2S1JZaVFucHUxZktvQ2xQMzJ0ajBGTzVtYVp5MDJBSHlYaTBEOHRUNjMwMzl2WFZILXd2OThLQzBlcTFmN0x1MklGWUl0bFE3M29veDdobDRiaEhUMmtlYkxjYndkbXc3SFpsQTRtcUFTcmxpUUtMeF90WThaNUtoaml6YTRvSXJI |

I wanna know how this scene in John Oppenheimer's Grand Prix (1966) Monaco crash was made. [here](https://youtu.be/iEWUlu1Kom0?si=akmumvZmA7zTNCY4&t=550) is the video reference starting from 9:10. my specific question is in [this car crash](https://youtu.be/iEWUlu1Kom0?si=dGapDE8HyJehC3E9&t=553), in the shot of the two cars approaching the chicane, how they got one car crash into the barrier? are both cars with real drivers? is the car crashing into the barrier the dummy? are both dummy cars? if the one crashing into the barrier is dummy, how did they position and launch it to the barrier? being towed by leading car or launched separately?
i love this movie because of how realistic everything seem for a film that was made in 1966! the visual effects and practical stunts were most probably novel at the time | r/filmmakers | post | r/Filmmakers | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2UzFuaVE3S2t5V3duNVNwZjh1aXVXNjVJamVTTlBiREVoMVJoX3ItWTlzQjU1S25LVkRaR1FoaFJkaFhITlRzdk8zUWt4WktMSzJCZWhJbDEzMWFsRW5vX1J1bFVzZUZqTS11cVFrWHB2djQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWclFEVllwRUo3bGU4dWlOdnhLbURFRzNzY1QwWURZeGU1bzJuMjkzcXNsT3hVZEFYVmxhVjU5T2R6ZERib25zSFptUEtxejdjWElRQVVnZnVJNFJTYXBhb2gySXhaNlBuUElyeEVPZVd0cG5ROXpRcDFwYms1RzEzS3JUTW9YVlNCRC12M3BJTGhGdEZvLTRzVGtIOUEwOUVfQUEyUHlUR1dnOXVaYjhETFd6WEEyc1NDQm9zTkdmYWI5OGJTWXNKOHAtRU5WdjN2b29VZGw1Vmtidm83Zz09 |

Hello guys! I started crocheting last year on July and finished this at around July 29! After I made it, I finished 6 or 7 granny squares, 2 cakes (one for my mother's birthday and one for my aunt), a bee keychain for my classmate, a strawberry for another classmate, 3 more dog bandanas, a dog collar (which really was just a ribbed band), a mushroom keychain for my cousin with a basket to go with it, 2 lavenders, a rose, a sunflower without a stem and a small coaster. | r/crochet | post | r/crochet | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2Tm15aDg2MXJDcG10TzRKNWkzZVpDcGIySEVtaThLU1R4dl83dk5NRVMzUVRKRmRtVXVnZE9yejBUTDlpZUc2eG1oaUp4N2gtb2RhZ3JBUjhZQnduemc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWZkdrRE9ER1F1bTg2VVU0bGJFN19RczA0b1JUVnRFQkZaMmxoSjJJcXRuMFlpR0RTSzJJOFd3LXZSc05oaWZFbXBhcGR6UUppNkZiWkxnLVJhVXVwVTRQbzJfSW5tOV9fZmFGNnZNSWZFdENsaENhSjB5cWxaRk5zTzlYdXptajA5RnBMZzEtdUstRURlWHUyV3haQUdFYXdiMjhwYTZqX1p5YnprU0tOTDVFV3pUblluYjlwRWh1UkpPWDVzVjFsQkNGTnZVY1l0UEFzMFNFdjhicERnQT09 |
I don't know if this is the best way to phrase this but, I've been wondering if I lack in social skills due to really not socializing asm. I go through phases of sorta not talking to anyone due to life and just being tired, and then forget how to really share my own thoughts and feelings.
I can lead and add onto conversations with questions ("Listen to understand, not respond" sticks with me), but I always in a way feel like I interview or the person doesn't give me a spot to say anything about myself or ask. Recently I was in the hottub with a couple friends at our apt complex, and a couple other people joined, really chill. There was a lady and she immediately said she felt drawn to me (I do think she was tipsy, they had beers), but she and a lot of people that I've met for short moments really open up to me. To the point they get very vulnerable and I find that beautiful, or like she did even ask me to go the bathroom with her so we could talk more. She talked to me a lot, called me her best friend, but I never really get how you can call someone your best friend//friend if you dont even know the other person? But even with my current friends I tend to feel still alone and disconnected at the end, I don't know when it's okay for me to plug in personal experiences or when I can insert myself into a topic. :( I only really do if a person asks me a question, but usually Im in the spot of being almost an audience member. Kinda small but it falls down onto even not finding friends with similar tastes or experiences, or I more adapt to my friends than them also welcome some change for themselves. I am also about to run 18 and move out with my friend for college, so I would appreciate any..warnings or tips for college because I've been on a gap year just working for year now.
How do I become more confident or what are maybe things you've heard that have helped you//gave you a different perspective on including yourself more when others dont? Let me know if there's anything I need to change or if this post needs to be removed, this has just been always taunting me. | r/introvert | post | r/introvert | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2SWlJUWtiVlpDYmd1ZGZVUm9wYkFrVy0zSUhPWVdpQmxvMVlOWHhkZ1RWSi1ZbG56WUx0d2JtYWRrRDZYemxEWWhSblFteFphLVpoUWo2b2FjLXdVNDByNWhIR0h0U2hwdEJkd1pJQ21ZM3c9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWYUJjMTY4VXE1ZkZjZk4yUTMzQ2JtdU5XRUFRd3AwaXFOeHVQSFRqZ1BqVFphWkRPaUExeEs2c05QaFNDeWNpMjRJbFRKX3o2dFlUVDA2bWNZaEVEVk5qX081U0NaVFV5MUVZTWtaYzJYZXR3dlNBMXNnaXljLXZwTFhDLW1ZT1dNYXdHNmFZLWlPVWZrYVRONzF1V3BpcmQ1YnlwSGFRZHYtUlNyX2dhTVdRPQ== |
About five hours ago, Franco Vazza’s article *“*[Astrophysical constraints on the simulation hypothesis for this Universe: why it is (nearly) impossible that we live in a simulation](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/physics/articles/10.3389/fphy.2025.1561873/full)*”* was published in *Frontiers in Physics*. The abstract had already been circulating since around March 10th, and even from the title alone, it looked clear Vazza was going to take a completely misguided, strawmany approach that would ultimately (1) prove nothing (2) further confuse an already maligned and highly nuanced issue:
>We assess how much physically realistic is the "simulation hypothesis" for this Universe, based on physical constraints arising from the link between information and energy, and on known astrophysical constraints. We investigate three cases: the simulation of the entire visible Universe, the simulation of Earth only, or a low resolution simulation of Earth, compatible with high-energy neutrino observations. In all cases, the amounts of energy or power required by any version of the simulation hypothesis are entirely incompatible with physics, or (literally) astronomically large, even in the lowest resolution case. Only universes with very different physical properties can produce some version of this Universe as a simulation. On the other hand, our results show that it is just impossible that this Universe is simulated by a universe sharing the same properties, regardless of technological advancements of the far future.
The new abstract does not stray too far from the original:
>**Introduction:** The “simulation hypothesis” is a radical idea which posits that our reality is a computer simulation. We wish to assess how physically realistic this is, based on physical constraints from the link between information and energy, and based on known astrophysical constraints of the Universe.
>**Methods:** We investigate three cases: the simulation of the entire visible Universe, the simulation of Earth only, or a low-resolution simulation of Earth compatible with high-energy neutrino observations.
>**Results:** In all cases, the amounts of energy or power required by any version of the simulation hypothesis are entirely incompatible with physics or (literally) astronomically large, even in the lowest resolution case. Only universes with very different physical properties can produce some version of this Universe as a simulation.
>**Discussion:** It is simply impossible for this Universe to be simulated by a universe sharing the same properties, regardless of technological advancements in the far future.
I've just finished reading the paper. It makes the case that under the Simulation Hypothesis, a computer running on the same physics that we are familiar with in this universe could not be used to create:
1. A simulation of the whole universe down to the Planck scale,
2. A simulation of the Earth down to the Planck scale, or
3. A “lower resolution” simulation of Earth using neutrinos as the benchmark.
Vazza takes page after page of great mathematical pains to prove his point. But ultimately these pains are in the the service of, to borrow from Hitchens, “the awful impression of someone who hasn’t read the arguments.” Vazza's points were generally addressed decades ago.
Although the paper cites Bostrom at the outset, it fails to give Bostrom—or the broader nuances of simulism—any due justice. Bostrom made it clear in his original paper:
>Simulating the entire universe down to the quantum level is obviously infeasible, unless radically new physics is discovered. But in order to get a realistic simulation of human experience, much less is needed—only whatever is required to ensure that the simulated humans, interacting in normal human ways with their simulated environment, don’t notice any irregularities...
On the surface of Earth, macroscopic objects in inhabited areas may need to be continuously simulated, but microscopic phenomena could likely be filled in ad hoc...
Exceptions arise when we deliberately design systems to harness unobserved microscopic phenomena that operate in accordance with known principles to get results that we are able to independently verify.
Bostrom anticipated Vazza's line of argument *twenty years ago!* This is perhaps the most glaring misstep: ignoring the actual details of simulism in favor of pummeling a straw man.
In terms of methodology, Vazza assumes a physical computer in a physical universe and uses the Holographic Principle as a model for physical data-crunching—opening with a decidedly *monist* physicalist assumption via the invocation of Landauer’s quote: “information is physical.” This catchy phrase sidesteps the deep issues of information. He does not tarry with the alternative "[information is not physical](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.2414)" as offered by Alicki, or that "[information is non-physical" ](http://users.cms.caltech.edu/~owhadi/index_htm_files/IJQF2017.pdf)as offered by Campbell.
Moreover, he doesn’t acknowledge the fundamental issues of computation raised by Edward Fredkin as early as the 1990s—one of the godfathers in this domain.
Fredkin developed *Digital Mechanics* and *Digital Philosophy*. One of his core concepts was *Other*—a computational supersystem from which classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and conscious life emerge. The defining features of *Other* are that it is exogenous to our universe, arranged like a cellular automaton, formal, and based on Turing’s Principle of Universal Computation—thus, nonphysical.
To quote [Fredkin](http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/im/ftp/poc/fredkin/New-Cosmogony):
>There is no need for a space with three dimensions. Computation can do just fine in spaces of any number of dimensions! The space does not have to be locally connected like our world is. Computation does not require conservation laws or symmetries. A world that supports computation does not have to have time as we know it, there is no need for beginnings and endings. Computation is compatible with worlds where something can come from nothing, where resources are finite, infinite or variable. It is clear that computation can exist in almost every kind of world that we can imagine, except for worlds that are sterile or static at every level.
And more [bluntly](https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxUBMXba2hKw5W_w3x3XoVKC4X2tojODP3):
>An interesting fact about computers: You can build a computer that could simulate this universe in another universe that has one dimension, or two, or three, or seven, or none. Because computation is so general, it doesn't need three dimensions, it doesn't need our laws of physics, it doesn't need any of that.
As to where *Other* is located:
>As to where the Ultimate Computer is, we can give an equally precise answer, it is not in the Universe—it is in an *other* place. If space and time and matter and energy are all a consequence of the informational process running on the Ultimate Computer then everything in our universe is represented by that informational process. The place where the computer is, the engine that runs that process, we choose to call “*Other*”.
Vazza does not address Fredkin in his paper at all.
Nor does he mention Whitworth or Campbell. He brings up Bostrom and Beane, but again, completely ignores Bostrom’s own acknowledgment that “simulating the entire universe down to the quantum level is obviously infeasible.” Instead, Vazza chooses to have his own conversation.
In essence, Vazza *ignores* simulism and claims victory by focusing on the wrong problem: simulating the *universe*. As Bostrom—and many others—make clear, the actual kernel of simulism is simulating *subjective human experience*.
Campbell et al. explored this in the 2017 paper [On Testing the Simulation Theory](http://users.cms.caltech.edu/~owhadi/index_htm_files/IJQF2017.pdf). It is particularly useful for its discussion of the *first-person subjective experience* model of simulism (indeed, the only workable model).
In this subjective simulism model, only the subjective human experience needs to be rendered (again as Bostrom made mention; and as has others like Chalmers). Why render the entire map if you're only looking at a tiny part of it? That would make no computational sense.
Let's play with this idea for a moment: the point of simulism is simulating the human subjective experience -- not the whole universe down to the quantum. How would that play out?
First simulating subjective experience *does* *not* mean the entire brain—estimated to operate at \~1 exaflop—needs to be fully simulated. In simulism, the human body and brain are avatars; the focus is on the rendering of conscious experience, *not* biological fidelity.
Markus Meister has offered a calculation of the actual throughput of human consciousness:
>“Every moment, we are extracting just 10 bits from the trillion that our senses are taking in and using those ten to perceive the world around us and make decisions.” \[And elsewhere\] “The information throughput of a human being is about 10 bits/s.”
Regarding vision (which makes up \~80% of our sensory data), Meister and Zhang note in their awesomely titled [The Unbearable Slowness of Being](https://arxiv.org/html/2408.10234v1):
>Many of us feel that the visual scene we experience, even from a glance, contains vivid details everywhere. The image feels sharp and full of color and fine contrast. If all these details enter the brain, then the acquisition rate must be much higher than 10 bits/s.
>However, this is an illusion, called “subjective inflation” in the technical jargon. People feel that the visual scene is sharp and colorful even far in the periphery because in normal life we can just point our eyes there and see vivid structure. In reality, a few degrees away from the center of gaze our resolution for spatial and color detail drops off drastically, owing in large part to neural circuits of the retina 30. You can confirm this while reading this paper: Fix your eye on one letter and ask how many letters on each side you can still recognize 16. Another popular test is to have the guests at a dinner party close their eyes, and then ask them to recount the scene they just experienced. These tests indicate that beyond our focused attention, our capacity to perceive and retain visual information is severely limited, to the extent of “inattentional blindness”.
If we take Meister’s estimate of 10 bits/s and apply it to the \~5.3 billion humans awake at any moment, we arrive at a total of **6 megabytes per second** of subjective experience for all awake human beings.
Furthermore, our second-by-second conscious experience is quickly reduced to a fuzzy summary after it has unfolded. The computing system responsible for simulating this experience does not need to deeply record or calculate fine details. Probabilistic sketches will suffice for most events. Your memory of breakfast six months ago does not require atomic precision. Approximations are fine.
Though the default assumption is that simulation theory must imply “astronomically” large amounts of processing power, the above demonstration suggests that this assumption may itself be astronomically inflated.
While Meister’s figures are not intended to be a final answer to how much data is required to simulate waking subjective experience (just as Vazza’s examples and methodologies are chosen equally arbitrarily), they help direct the simulation conversation back to its actual core: what does it take to simulate *one second* of *subjective experience*?
That's the question that needs to be evaluated; not, *how many quarks make up a chicken?*
To wrap:
**What’s the paper?** It’s a misadventure that will do nothing more than muddy an already nuanced topic. Physical monism will slap itself on its matter-ridden back. No progress will have been made in either direction of pro or con, as the paper didn’t even address what simulism brought up decades ago.
It doesn't pass the smell test because it failed to grok simulism issue numero uno: *there is no smell.* Or, as one simulation theorist once humorously put it, "dots of light are cheap."
I already started writing a paper in preparation for its publication immediately after I saw the original abstract, and Vazza did not disappoint—in that, he disappointed totally. You could see where he was going in his citation list alone.
How this passed through peer review when the primary article Vazza is tarrying against brought it up the issue decades ago is a little...... you finish the sentence. | r/futurology | post | r/Futurology | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2S2Y0aHUxZ2oxMjhjWmZ3cVRMUFNaRHVVZU1yeUMtUjR6RnBHR1dpSkVwSUdoLU1jaTBGZjlCM1lzYWV6eE1RM3ZyRm5FNW1hVDQwcFhDVFZhTTY0aUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWVUljcG12dEhyMHJyZ2Vtb1lVbHM1bFRnSUxuM3JiV3FaOGpibjhXcmQtQjRYUXdQdmRZNVFNYmNURHBMdkVEdHlWaUxQQks4RmtrSDZWNWJCcW9iaVpSeVc2ZjNfOWJwR0FteFo4NEVUYVNQNUVESDJXY0RMWkR3enZrYS1wU2tFdWlnc2VkTnBTLTdSNW41UVpsVVlnNDBkTDkxcEFadTZvVDlNQW5zSWhWdGpmeXRWUzFxNGk2R2tkaERKWU5GejhmMVRERmJCMTUtOS13Q1JSSmcwdz09 |

It seems Minecraft is never gonna add sharks as legitimate mobs, but there could be a viable alternative: the sawfish! They look like sharks and are quite exotic with their long rostrums!
As a mob they could be neutral, reacting if to punch them. They would be the size of dolphins when fully grown, but you can also find smaller ones that can in buckets like regular fish.
As far as mob drops or functions I’m not sure, but those teeth could be used for something!
They could be also a diverse set of saw fish, with different variants spawning in swamps, mangroves, jungle rivers and ocean coasts!
It could also be good advocacy for these animals, since sawfish are quite endangered in real life!
In general I just think they would be an interesting mob to be added, and be also a substitute for the shark.

Hello everyone, my gear currently consists of a 2012 Burton Custom camber with Cartel EST bindings.
I want to change that this year and I have decided on the Yes PYL Uninc. I will need to change my bindings since they are EST and was thinking of going for a new pair of Cartels or Cartels X but I keep reading good things about Union bindings and was thinking of the Atlas.
I have read about the yes and Jones bindings but not sure I want to commit to skate tech without having the option to try it first.
Unfortunately I don't have the option to test any gear like that where I live.
My riding style is resort off piste as much as possible, with some groomers, occasional side hits with almost no park. Been riding for about 25 years and would call myself a solid advanced intermediate rider.
So to any of you who have tried both, which one do you like best and why?
UPDATE : I am now a proud owner of a pair of 24/25 Atlas. The high back feels a bit "flimsy" compared to my old cartels but apart from that the bindings feel really well made with quality materials. Another plus for the old cartels is that they can be adjusted without the need for any tools whereas some adjustment screws on the atlas need a screwdriver.
Thank you all for your inputs! Will update again next year after I ride them | r/snowboarding | post | r/snowboarding | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2QWRPV3Y1My11RzJiVldMa2lPU3VNdUZuU294SXFkTEJyS180TFZxQXVqcFFvSDI4Vk5ZZ1N4bURjRERvQ2tfVl9KQkdYSW1ISGZobXlrcEpPak51aVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWc0lWbGM1akF5bURLTjZOQVYya3FFVHFfUGRMNENmQzZnVXBjTXZTamJHOXBTdzM3TmpJUWlWYmpxUUxEWGRuSWFuZVhuSThiUUlMS2Rkc2lHMkZYOFZKdmVKQWFIeU94R05lSGE4Rk9BbDRBMy1nekh5cFg0eHZxc29uYkVNTlBjMlgtazNoR3Z4MjY4T2p5RU9pTXhEQVY2QUVZQXVlYmRudzZVeTJLbFBoZ3dpb1R5aDF3bVhVOFp2cmNRZ3dF |
I recently watched this but can’t remember the title. All I remember about it is at some point a male character is getting set up with a girl, I’m pretty sure her name was brandy but I’m not sure. She gets called in but she’s still outside and yells something along the lines of ‘no wait the filter is the best part!’ (Talking about her cigarette). I think she was wearing a high ponytail and that she had blonde hair. | r/movies | post | r/movies | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2Q3VZM0JfU0lPMGE4VXA1VkU0T1BLczlLWTJLc3ptOXY4WjdzVUdrT3F1UlF5OTZyaHozTGlQNmJFQUQxS0hBMWFLRHpXNVJBU3hGR3J5YkdTRTZ0N3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWUGxPaUc2Zl9FdFkyek04WmVmMGU5SjJza0lJVGNEenpzRGtIdGszVUU5VmVjRXBmT21zV0J6Ty11a2lnUEx5UjVUWC12ME1id2FDOXVBOW8tanZwZzY1akg0SFplYlcxbHYtVE8zUmlFaDZkQnpteC1kNl85RXphbHlWRlkxS2RQZkRGX0xTVW9JRFNUdzc3REV5ME13X3JNZEliYUYtZHZWbEh0WTg1U1RVPQ== |
Hey everyone, need some advice please. My outdoor cat scratched and possibly bit me when I accidentally stepped on her. I was carrying a washing machine down the stairs and I didn't notice her get in the way since the machine was blocking my view. This is why I'm unsure whether she just scratched me or bit me too. I've included pics of the wounds before and after cleaning them.
Here's the thing, I've already gotten anti-rabies and tetanus shots back in June 2022 when a neighbor's dog bit me. Our cat isn't exhibiting signs of rabies and she only bit me as a reaction to getting hurt. Do I need to get vaccinated for these wounds again? | r/cats | post | r/cats | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2am81NDZyTGV3UnNVLWVJTm90RWRsODFkcUZHQ0pMQXBnSFZZU29WR0xhZGp6cHBpZzluVzhsZkpUR2prZHlhanZ2YWNJTzE4VHVZZFgyTHNlU2xDTnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWV1ZheDhfaUtoUGlwa09uZnEwdnR4Y191VVlrUzhCT2N2VmhNUDhzazkxX2ZuUFZBNEpheXRsclFxWm9sdFZ6LWk1a1JGQWI4RHd5MFFHcmJoQWxycjBSdEp6b1dMMFBYRTBNM2JrNlpmM3BwOWdTa2hiU05vMDJWRXNvZUp3bW1uWTcteGtQUXFZa2kxYmMtMUI4TnNHb2pYS0VGcF82STZlVDY3Wk1aTFFnPQ== |
Hi all,
I recently cancelled a car insurance policy as I sold the car. Monthly payments coming out on 15th every month.
I cancelled the policy about a week before the next payment was due to come out of my bank. A couple nights ago I was also going through my banking app and removing old/expired standing direct debits.. this one included as I had thought all payments were done.
I was also due a £98 refund after a £60 admin fee for cancelling. (Total monthly payments for the insurance were around £140)
I checked my emails this morning and had a Default Notice from the insurance company saying I had missed my final payment.
Seeing this I have immediately spoke to them and made the payment, as I didn’t know they would take the full amount from my bank, THEN refund me the difference.
When I spoke to them, they adjusted this and I just paid the difference. I believed the refund minus admin fee was just coming from the previous month I paid. As I cancelled before the next monthly payment.
This is what my email said on part of it,
“Action required to remedy: Payment of the total arrears of £41.81 before 01/05/2025.”
I’m just worried that I might default even though I made an honest mistake and I read a default stays on your file for 6 years, but I was wanting to get a mortgage some time next year..
I made payment before the remedy date, but will this still default against my record? Any advice?
Thanks. | r/ukpersonalfinance | post | r/UKPersonalFinance | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2QlRFNmlsdGctakdPa1FtRUVQWS1Ia3FUcEVJb2lacENsTk9XLWlnQW0wcW0xaGRRbkNjUjgzVTlmSzBzOUFwWnNOcjZyRWlFRG40QXFqMVg5OGlBTWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWZ0VjM0FBVEp6a1JRN3MwRHVfV2VMdzY3Z21WbHdpajVpeWp2c3lQckJienBleGZJY2p1T1h6ZDR3WTc0eEVjQ29HNDZkSE5Tb2x0UnduUlRtc2wwZV9tVTQtTkh5aG1nVzdDN1BVYTFJanhXSm9kZldZalFBdVozUHRfbm5iU0RpY05xWURncnhzejA0MGFfSVRNQTUtblJhSWRYeVQzQ01sMTlhTnpEemNfSWxEWHU0WjZvMXdrc0x2MUdfVDM5RlhQc2xXNml2bUhZS0NYOGRENHdqUT09 |
About five hours ago, Franco Vazza’s article *“*[Astrophysical constraints on the simulation hypothesis for this Universe: why it is (nearly) impossible that we live in a simulation](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/physics/articles/10.3389/fphy.2025.1561873/full)*”* was published in *Frontiers in Physics*. The abstract had already been circulating since around March 10th, and even from the title alone, it looked clear Vazza was going to take a completely misguided, strawmany approach that would ultimately (1) prove nothing (2) further confuse an already maligned and highly nuanced issue:
>We assess how much physically realistic is the "simulation hypothesis" for this Universe, based on physical constraints arising from the link between information and energy, and on known astrophysical constraints. We investigate three cases: the simulation of the entire visible Universe, the simulation of Earth only, or a low resolution simulation of Earth, compatible with high-energy neutrino observations. In all cases, the amounts of energy or power required by any version of the simulation hypothesis are entirely incompatible with physics, or (literally) astronomically large, even in the lowest resolution case. Only universes with very different physical properties can produce some version of this Universe as a simulation. On the other hand, our results show that it is just impossible that this Universe is simulated by a universe sharing the same properties, regardless of technological advancements of the far future.
The new abstract does not stray too far from the original:
>**Introduction:** The “simulation hypothesis” is a radical idea which posits that our reality is a computer simulation. We wish to assess how physically realistic this is, based on physical constraints from the link between information and energy, and based on known astrophysical constraints of the Universe.
>**Methods:** We investigate three cases: the simulation of the entire visible Universe, the simulation of Earth only, or a low-resolution simulation of Earth compatible with high-energy neutrino observations.
>**Results:** In all cases, the amounts of energy or power required by any version of the simulation hypothesis are entirely incompatible with physics or (literally) astronomically large, even in the lowest resolution case. Only universes with very different physical properties can produce some version of this Universe as a simulation.
>**Discussion:** It is simply impossible for this Universe to be simulated by a universe sharing the same properties, regardless of technological advancements in the far future.
I've just finished reading the paper. It makes the case that under the Simulation Hypothesis, a computer running on the same physics that we are familiar with in this universe could not be used to create:
1. A simulation of the whole universe down to the Planck scale,
2. A simulation of the Earth down to the Planck scale, or
3. A “lower resolution” simulation of Earth using neutrinos as the benchmark.
Vazza takes page after page of great mathematical pains to prove his point. But ultimately these pains are in the the service of, to borrow from Hitchens, “the awful impression of someone who hasn’t read the arguments.” Vazza's points were generally addressed decades ago.
Although the paper cites Bostrom at the outset, it fails to give Bostrom—or the broader nuances of simulism—any due justice. Bostrom made it clear in his original paper:
>Simulating the entire universe down to the quantum level is obviously infeasible, unless radically new physics is discovered. But in order to get a realistic simulation of human experience, much less is needed—only whatever is required to ensure that the simulated humans, interacting in normal human ways with their simulated environment, don’t notice any irregularities...
On the surface of Earth, macroscopic objects in inhabited areas may need to be continuously simulated, but microscopic phenomena could likely be filled in ad hoc...
Exceptions arise when we deliberately design systems to harness unobserved microscopic phenomena that operate in accordance with known principles to get results that we are able to independently verify.
Bostrom anticipated Vazza's line of argument *twenty years ago!* This is perhaps the most glaring misstep: ignoring the actual details of simulism in favor of pummeling a straw man.
In terms of methodology, Vazza assumes a physical computer in a physical universe and uses the Holographic Principle as a model for physical data-crunching—opening with a decidedly *monist* physicalist assumption via the invocation of Landauer’s quote: “information is physical.” This catchy phrase sidesteps the deep issues of information. He does not tarry with the alternative "[information is not physical](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.2414)" as offered by Alicki, or that "[information is non-physical" ](http://users.cms.caltech.edu/~owhadi/index_htm_files/IJQF2017.pdf)as offered by Campbell.
Moreover, he doesn’t acknowledge the fundamental issues of computation raised by Edward Fredkin as early as the 1990s—one of the godfathers in this domain.
Fredkin developed *Digital Mechanics* and *Digital Philosophy*. One of his core concepts was *Other*—a computational supersystem from which classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and conscious life emerge. The defining features of *Other* are that it is exogenous to our universe, arranged like a cellular automaton, formal, and based on Turing’s Principle of Universal Computation—thus, nonphysical.
To quote [Fredkin](http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/im/ftp/poc/fredkin/New-Cosmogony):
>There is no need for a space with three dimensions. Computation can do just fine in spaces of any number of dimensions! The space does not have to be locally connected like our world is. Computation does not require conservation laws or symmetries. A world that supports computation does not have to have time as we know it, there is no need for beginnings and endings. Computation is compatible with worlds where something can come from nothing, where resources are finite, infinite or variable. It is clear that computation can exist in almost every kind of world that we can imagine, except for worlds that are sterile or static at every level.
And more [bluntly](https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxUBMXba2hKw5W_w3x3XoVKC4X2tojODP3):
>An interesting fact about computers: You can build a computer that could simulate this universe in another universe that has one dimension, or two, or three, or seven, or none. Because computation is so general, it doesn't need three dimensions, it doesn't need our laws of physics, it doesn't need any of that.
As to where *Other* is located:
>As to where the Ultimate Computer is, we can give an equally precise answer, it is not in the Universe—it is in an *other* place. If space and time and matter and energy are all a consequence of the informational process running on the Ultimate Computer then everything in our universe is represented by that informational process. The place where the computer is, the engine that runs that process, we choose to call “*Other*”.
Vazza does not address Fredkin in his paper at all.
Nor does he mention Whitworth or Campbell. He brings up Bostrom and Beane, but again, completely ignores Bostrom’s own acknowledgment that “simulating the entire universe down to the quantum level is obviously infeasible.” Instead, Vazza chooses to have his own conversation.
In essence, Vazza *ignores* simulism and claims victory by focusing on the wrong problem: simulating the *universe*. As Bostrom—and many others—make clear, the actual kernel of simulism is simulating *subjective human experience*.
Campbell et al. explored this in the 2017 paper [On Testing the Simulation Theory](http://users.cms.caltech.edu/~owhadi/index_htm_files/IJQF2017.pdf). It is particularly useful for its discussion of the *first-person subjective experience* model of simulism (indeed, the only workable model).
In this subjective simulism model, only the subjective human experience needs to be rendered (again as Bostrom made mention; and as has others like Chalmers). Why render the entire map if you're only looking at a tiny part of it? That would make no computational sense.
Let's play with this idea for a moment: the point of simulism is simulating the human subjective experience -- not the whole universe down to the quantum. How would that play out?
First simulating subjective experience *does* *not* mean the entire brain—estimated to operate at \~1 exaflop—needs to be fully simulated. In simulism, the human body and brain are avatars; the focus is on the rendering of conscious experience, *not* biological fidelity.
Markus Meister has offered a calculation of the actual throughput of human consciousness:
>“Every moment, we are extracting just 10 bits from the trillion that our senses are taking in and using those ten to perceive the world around us and make decisions.” \[And elsewhere\] “The information throughput of a human being is about 10 bits/s.”
Regarding vision (which makes up \~80% of our sensory data), Meister and Zhang note in their awesomely titled [The Unbearable Slowness of Being](https://arxiv.org/html/2408.10234v1):
>Many of us feel that the visual scene we experience, even from a glance, contains vivid details everywhere. The image feels sharp and full of color and fine contrast. If all these details enter the brain, then the acquisition rate must be much higher than 10 bits/s.
>However, this is an illusion, called “subjective inflation” in the technical jargon. People feel that the visual scene is sharp and colorful even far in the periphery because in normal life we can just point our eyes there and see vivid structure. In reality, a few degrees away from the center of gaze our resolution for spatial and color detail drops off drastically, owing in large part to neural circuits of the retina 30. You can confirm this while reading this paper: Fix your eye on one letter and ask how many letters on each side you can still recognize 16. Another popular test is to have the guests at a dinner party close their eyes, and then ask them to recount the scene they just experienced. These tests indicate that beyond our focused attention, our capacity to perceive and retain visual information is severely limited, to the extent of “inattentional blindness”.
If we take Meister’s estimate of 10 bits/s and apply it to the \~5.3 billion humans awake at any moment, we arrive at a total of **6 megabytes per second** of subjective experience for all awake human beings.
Furthermore, our second-by-second conscious experience is quickly reduced to a fuzzy summary after it has unfolded. The computing system responsible for simulating this experience does not need to deeply record or calculate fine details. Probabilistic sketches will suffice for most events. Your memory of breakfast six months ago does not require atomic precision. Approximations are fine.
Though the default assumption is that simulation theory must imply “astronomically” large amounts of processing power, the above demonstration suggests that this assumption may itself be astronomically inflated.
While Meister’s figures are not intended to be a final answer to how much data is required to simulate waking subjective experience (just as Vazza’s examples and methodologies are chosen equally arbitrarily), they help direct the simulation conversation back to its actual core: what does it take to simulate *one second* of *subjective experience*?
That's the question that needs to be evaluated; not, *how many quarks make up a chicken?*
To wrap:
**What’s the paper?** It’s a misadventure that will do nothing more than muddy an already nuanced topic. Physical monism will slap itself on its matter-ridden back. No progress will have been made in either direction of pro or con, as the paper didn’t even address what simulism brought up decades ago.
It doesn't pass the smell test because it failed to grok simulism issue numer uno: *there is no smell.* Or, as one simulation theorist once humorously put it, "dots of light are cheap."
I already started writing a paper in preparation for its publication immediately after I saw the original abstract and Vazza did not disappoint—in that, he disappointed totally. You could see where he was going in his citation list alone.
How this passed through peer review when the primary article Vazza is tarrying against brought it up the issue decades ago is a little...... you finish the sentence. | r/singularity | post | r/singularity | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2N19kemh3RU5ZRWdlbjZQajBSU1NqRlFNQlhoTzZCcXRaTG00VVN0aGFhbWl6cHhOcjNJUGNrN2NkMEx0QlJ0UU05a3BhMHpldWZYbk13OVFZU3ZiWnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWcEgtTnFzZnZ1eWdZd2pzaVBJUW4wOEZ2NzRqNDJkTmlXNVc3RzR3M285b0VHSDU0NVlST1BHSFRfaWE3NTF4SzlCRDlxOGZQdmVoSDlWYkJKMDNzTFlneGh6ZzJHcDItRG9JNlVFN21HZFBGQm9QMEhjb1dVUTFPX21jel9nTk8ySFRlYk81cFd2YUpZdklZUlNVaXB2WGNNMk05ZGotNzdfN3JYYjkzcjZoMFZvN2FVTkMxbTF0MjBrTThrazNabFprNkxwRnloQ01jWkJIR1czTDVKdz09 |

I tried Googling this but it's mostly answers on what the life cycles are, not how we figured it out. So with that in mind:
I'm doing a worldbuilding project, and one element of it is that magic is something being radiated outwards by stars. Iron would be a culturally significant metal because it's the last element a star can fuse in its core before exploding in a supernova.
That made me wonder how we actually know what elements a star fuses before dying, because it's not like we could just watch it happen. So how did we discover it? | r/astronomy | post | r/Astronomy | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2QlFvYW40OEcwYzBDSFB4M3ZzUDF1NllFaEJwS3prZU54dDdPeUVLZVZMWjBhOGJwSmF6a2ViWjI3S1RHZmJlSXM0azQ2V041c0hDTjR2c0ZYdVJXZFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWaDFvaHBPS254cTVNaGFWeWctMHdLZHJ0UHN6djVSNl9McGw1V1dmQnd6X0VHSVBpVWZlUGQ2bHY1dTNXclNZM3hSZURlT2l6bXViMS00TnpvdFowQ0t4TkNXNnBKRjhPbXpUamEwdnM4dXBYX25XaHQ5ei11eVE0eG13cEhPLTZhXzRGeXBXQWdMc1FIOGJSd1YtU2Zldm01TzNZdU9FVWlFMWxvQVlmb0kwd0R1U0h5TElJTjZTalRhdl9saHlsRDRqTjRwZGNvR0JUUnkwLXpZNFJ6Zz09 |
Slight variation on a “7 hex handbag” video I found while looking for patterns that used puff stitch hexagons. I’ve made some labor-intensive granny square and hex blankets, wanted to learn something I could complete in less time. I’m in California and summer’s nearly here, so most wearables are impractical. I can schlep this turtle-garb around without breaking a sweat.
The yarn is mostly acrylic— Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca in Jade (I found a bundle on ebay but it’s still available new), and variegated LB Landcapes in Mountain Range (leftover from my last project). The wooden handles are a recent amazon purchase (probably best to stockpile before tariffs get insane, though please let me know if you have a favorite source for crochet notions— I’ve learned so much from this sub!).
Stitched while watching Cameron Esposito’s newest special, and the Glamorous Trash episode about Sutton Foster’s excellent crafting memoir. | r/crochet | post | r/crochet | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2Zm5fWlM5V2M3cTJRYU5CaUVzc3FfMlZZRzVzdExVVGFfWExwQVQ0azlpUnNBOFdHOVV5V29ncnMyRDBMX3FvcmJOR2d6MzRxWVhuLVlZUk9nLUZ5RXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWVzFqeHJwSHVycmthaGRUY0w3U0dXV0E3UTJEeExZTjA4UVN2VHgyaTlFbktYSmdaYkhzLU1CWW4xaDBTbzNTRGNCNzU1ekFCc0NNVTJqdWNoRjhONjhXdk9zZi1hZDhhMHhaUnM5bGwtWG5YZE5fcjBiem4xek5PUVBIWmRsRE9kZFdFeHAtRzhlNkJ1TUJtaHhWTkw4R3BCSTlSeEtWMnRFSndndUdWRjJVPQ== |
The password to the website is LOGIN (not a joke), and it seems like the new single will be called Bloom (from the URL of the page).
They have also posted a [new playlist on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1vDcWjAX34jGx7VAmNgPzP?si=48c62ca98c4f431d) that seems to be teasing a 70's folky and/or psychedelic sound.
This will be their first album on their new major label (Columbia). | r/popheads | post | r/popheads | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2MjR5OGdCOUZnd1h6OUJabVg4UjBlS0RSVFZubkc1UlVpLTJZSnJmSDdOcXdwSTY3SUNLUjVWbnhfd0IwUC1xSHM4R1dYMXpjM2xfSnJRSy0xR0ExRkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWbW5jdVIyVjlCUE5aT3dMMmEtOENOS0RlYlVTTjhtVUtGc3JBbGYwTDhRanpWNFItTHNzQk5TOGNwTGplN29UTExRMmsyS0tGempPNkVOaDBVd0t5bFBKdWRsQ1BLWEpzUjVYdUJXX2dDRDhVZkJsYklwWi1DMEN4X1BFbXI2aDNmX0NOeUpJUGxsQURxUTNWNXNjOWtwbHdsaWR0eGFTM1NLS2djVWl6cS0zLTFYZVFOT2tHQ1F1cTZoTjQydXhhRFNsRkd3cEh5TndnMS1XTUZESE8xUT09 |
My returning flight to ICN is on April 30th. I hadn't realised before this is the start of a huge holiday in Vietnam. More fool me!
I presume SGN airport will be utter chaos?
Do they offer a fast-track service for immigration and/or security?
I used the fast-track when arriving yesterday and it saved me about 2 hours because the immigration line was a thing of nightmares!
I am now fearing something even worse on April 30th.
Any feedback on some little fasktrack hacks for SGN would be super appreciated! | r/vietnam | post | r/VietNam | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2NE5TaDBONzRjcWNQdVhyVGt0a2hHTHVOYVVTdGp2WU5UVzEzTC1TTUY5cUgwV1RzZWhsMmJ0QWYyZDBJRVNBUy1NM0JKN3VBRHpQUDlfLTF4OXNXM2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWY2VFOHJKWE1IUlBlMk9kSWhoNWJ5ano3UXBqV0xiRFhTdFpjRnZMSThiX3pFQnVzTkFPdm5lUHhrOC1vblhqS0JQSExKSW83clE4WUFHbVZNN3BhR0FnTl84SzFhU0ppR2puRzV1cUJWelJBTkFGcDZGUXMwLTNTUEZ0U1EwYnpKc3g3UjBCd1lfbm95Z3ppUXcwWU12QnYtaDhCUDhfdXZ2NFNaQTQzR3ZjdmlEVE1Qb1FWLU9RSlZOcEZmM0xj |
3. Dipper - he has that aura that makes me feel intelligent every word he says idk why, and he is pretty funny, cool and badass sometimes.
2. Grunkle Stan - He almost got first place but still isn't better then the number one character. The reason why i love Stan so much is beacuse he is so funny.. i swear i can re watch gravity falls a billion times and still smile or even laugh, i luv him.
1. ⧖⍽⍋⍋ ☍⍽☂φ▽⋑ - Should i even explain? The guy is hilarious and can be terrifying when he wants to be. He got so powerful to the point he changed the into of the show (4'th wall breaks are rare anywhere so that's crazy).
The way he killed Dipper and Mabel in every universe except the ones in the show and STILL hasn't been fully defeated is badass.
So that's why ⧖⍽⍋⍋ is my favourite Gravity Falls character. | r/gravityfalls | post | r/gravityfalls | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2bWR5YnRPUElmbUFrY2N3VWttRVhkTGluVG1jMnhHQVl5SjIwODNuWExXbGRYZnJvemRBSzZRUnFtdjBVbjMxRjdiWFJKUzBLbV9BNGlPS3E2Q1ZLS3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWaTF2ekJvUHNIbVNQX3YzZEJ2dFhCSUhaSHBQMHBoNmRHd1VTRmlYOEJDNGJ3aVAydUZQNEljZTh5NlFadTl6Sy1nVS03VEl1NlNCTzZEQ0FLN2dVTDZ1eWVvV1R4cGxRRXFubDg3bzdIMDQ5b1NFNm9leEF0dHF1ckV4UGRhNHdRTWRablIyVkR0bVJzODVtSXVjZTR1WTFKMHFRVmY5TmtnNmthcExJQ015bG9tR2VKNFRtUExDd292V2hXNG94WGtYaU1rMXVyQ1ljd3NaSU9kaVRYQT09 |
This was my first attempt at shooting a Milkyway panorama using a phone, here is the details for photo geeks-
Shot on Xiaomi 14 Pro, 30 panel panorama, each panel 30 seconds exposure, ISO 6400, RAW
Took me around 15-20 mintues just to capture the image, especially eveyballing & adjusting the tripod head at the same degree, tried for atleast 30-40% overlap over each images.
Stitched & Processed in Photoshop, that took around an hour

May kul Baal katwane gaya tha aur wahan ak bhaiya the karib 23-24 age ke aur wo har baar Mera Baal kat-te hain karib 9-12 mahino se, to wo mereko ache se jante Hain.
Waise Wo owner ni hai wo bas wahan kaam karte hain.
Aur kal kya huwa ki may wahan gaya tha aur wo Mera Baal kaat rahe the aur wahin unke (bhaiya ke) dost bhi aaye the aur wo unke Sadi (marriage) ke bare me baat kar rahe the, actually wo kuch din pehele ak ladki ko dekhne Gaye the, unke dost usi ke bare me puch rahe the.
To bhaiya ne Kaha ki, ni yarr cancel ho gaya Sadi (I mean unka wo ladki ke sath cancel ho gaya) aur wo uss samay Mera Baal kat hi rahe the, bolte bolte.
To uske dost ne Kahan 😂 - **mereko pata tha be Tera khada ni hota** 😂.
Aur may wahan chup chap jata tha aur chup hi rehta tha I mean jaise kuch log wahan bahut bakar karte hain logo se, may waisa ni tha but jaise hi uske dost ne wo kaha may bahut zor zor se hasne laga. May apne aap ko rok hi ni paya,
May surr ko niche karke hasne laga aur Bhaiya ke sath sath sab mereko dekhne lage (awkward ho gaya).
Uske baad karib may 1 minute tak hasta Raha aur wo ruke the - waise kisi ne kuch ni bola sab dekhte bas rahe but problem ye thi ki baad me bich bich me mujhe wo yaad aata tha aur may fir has dalta tha 😂
Idk ki ye tumko utna funny Lage ya nahi but agar tum ak small city me rehte ho to sayad tum jante hoge ki yahan ke barber shops kaise hote hain (wahan tum chup hi ni reh sakte itni jyada back***di hoti hai wahan 🙌🏻)
May soch ra hun ki ab wahan ni jayun, kahin aur jayun. Kyoki sayad mera hasna wo bhaiya ko pasand ni aaya myne kuch jyada hi has diya aur unko sorry bhi ni bol paya. | r/indiasocial | post | r/indiasocial | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2dGMxV3NmMUxfRlVFblh1VW1JRFdrUERHdEdUbEhZM05Tc1ZzYThEYTVJNHkzaUdXd0U0dXUyd0xxemtxR0hIZmdXLTlubFB1QzRTU3lhVWlNc2pWSlVmVzJFbElwSmE5N1R6aEt4X1ByMlk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWWW85ekZjRFFheTBvVlVXYUVGMXA5Q3ByNU5mR2R4QnItbDEtbEpVRld6bGtGWWxfbnZtSGk5enYyRXkwMm9sRXpJT1FDeDhTeTl2TU1CMGJGalVaNndhMFAyYi12Q3AzSGJDcWpyZ2pBZ3d1NmEzMVdzaVliR1pnR0kxQ0d5dlJHaHgwaHBXd0U5a3VSdnNWcTk0U1NmdlNDa2pVcnJfYTByVnI3d3NRV0s0PQ== |

Today I was driving on a busy road, a white car turned in from a side street on the right and moved into the left lane before turning off into a side street in the left side. A few minutes later the same car came from a side street on the right and turned in front of me. I know it was the same car cause of the licence plate.
I immediately felt lightheaded and nauseous, and still do each time I think about it. This isn’t the first thing I’ve had things happen that I can’t explain. Does anybody have any info on this? I haven’t told anybody because I genuinely cannot explain it.
EDIT** I also believe the sun used to be paler and a softer yellow. Mornings between 8am-midday do not look like they used to. I often feel nostalgic for those mornings because I don’t have them anymore. | r/glitch_in_the_matrix | post | r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2dzFpM3BiSmFMZTVkaC00SnlndEltNWdVY3JyWC05YzRRYlU4dHJIaC1ZSnladWFWRGdLZHVMbEQyeGJadW1Fdkd4NFFWUG5QbE5fM1FKTGpxRmZJWUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWZ2NtR18xZmQ3U0FSMW1MckFuQ3dEaXJQWm9MNHh6dU9yelUyXzI0NFhwUjdxNUF4OWMtcjlRcTRTcTByTWp3bHc2TEFRNW1rUjQ3Z1Zsdjk0LXlPQS1BWGI1XzNxMjhDY1I2VTh1dGhTSjNnRFdJeHA4T0UzMGMtTk1UaUYyYkxNdGhleDRWSDlpUjFZZW81WjRoeVJJZ2dLUkdwa21ieXpEMW53QzZteWV1Q0VOaGw0NlBuUVhreTlSLVhndWJmcFU2T2c3ZGZaVVIyWXFZWXJBM1Bzdz09 |

I’m getting ready to graduate and I wanted to do a garden themed cap but ended up not liking the finished look. I decided to keep the moss/ grass fabric I have but idk what to do beyond that.
I’m including some design ideas I had (at least for my grad cap). I’ll also include what my cap and stole look like so far. If you have any suggestions for either my cap or stole I’d appreciate hearing from you. Even if it’s to start over or keep it as is. I chose gold because my jewelry will be gold and I personally feel as though silver doesn’t stand out on me.
For extra context my dress will be black and so will my graduation gown. | r/crafts | post | r/crafts | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2TUpFU1lmZVlhMUZSb2QwV0lYTnhDQTNtbjhjTDFLYllDX0VhSENReHJxVkVKOUFJaFh2bHlFWHhEdmhDZ2haUU92VkxOaEpPdkJybkg3Y0xOVTUyRTZhMHpVdTJyZnNTQ01KSXdXdHBqSG89 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWdlBuVkdRdXRlTE1tRWZQeWJFZ2RKUXNFWE1obTYzREE3aFlScHd2U29FT2tLTHByN2ItVjBEcnhUWWduWDlmQjJvdWZ3eW5iUnBmRFJteEIzejA5eTNpU3o3WDJ6NDk3S3hWQTV6Q3pQYTFzTWlfZV8xV2VmYjZ6MHdlemFBMjNPNlFyU2ZVaUV6dDRDMlhDdjZFb1FSTFRKbWN5VFRuZE1jRnNZd0VUQXhiNlBGcFo3dUluZjZCdFgzZ3ZweWV6 |
I've had two readers tell me my prologue has too much dialogue and doesn't get to the action fast enough. It's four astronauts that arrive on a mystery planet and get un-alive'd one at a time. I made them heavy on character because I want the reader to care just a little bit about them before they die. One character doesn't trust another because of his smoking problem, another character is annoyed by a cat that someone demanded be with them on their ship, disagreement on planet theories, etc.
The other issue is that these characters do come back into the plot at the end of the novel, so it's not exactly one-off. The importance is that the reader \*remembers\* that they exist by the time they hit the last chapter.
So do you think I should devalue these four characters and make them more basic since they are going to die anyways? Or would you appreciate some back-and-forth, jokes, and drama in a prologue? If your answer is "whatever the book needs" then I would argue that I'd want my reader to know that the book is dialogue and drama heavy before reaching the inciting incident in chapter 2.
As it stands, my prologue is 4000 words. So it's not crazy long, just a little lengthy on the dialogue. | r/writing | post | r/writing | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2UDdZbmgtclc3NU5EbUExeWlaUW5kTzhscDVPUVFqNzBTeGhGaHI0Q2w2eUhBeGtXNUgxRkVkV0FEZlNCRFdhdDVrcnBFVjd5SVYtVll6OW4yRExXMVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWcTZSRHgxNUhiUUc5T2taUVdoVXI4dW1ma0YwYnZscDcwQXpyd281ZFVEUFpETnZYU1RVMHFNTUVKQTQzMHMzTzhaQUpmZWhhWUZKMkl1djlLWUs5OGVsaGFKU0xETjFSUm50bUc2Um9NbkRzby15VzhLZDhITVdGbEVDSnZoZ1Q0b09jMUdDOW4xQ0w5cEhpOFFRY2xuMy1ETkNFYWtOVEF6WDgxNlpZSWhvPQ== |

Hello all
I know Runescape Dragonwilds has only been out for a couple of days, but it has caught my attention as an avid OSRS player. I'm looking to sink my time into a survival game. After doing research and seeing comparisons to Valheim; I started to research Valheim and decided that looks very appealing as well. I'm hoping someone who has played both has some advice on this. I'm relatively a noob when it comes to survival games. It's worth mentioning that I will be playing whichever one of these games as a solo player. I'm on a budget and want to make a wise and also futureproof decision.
The essence of what I am hoping to get out of either of these games is a long, almost meditative experience of progressing, building, exploring and fighting. Basically, a chill game you can vibe out to while watching YT but also has challenge and a satisfying combat system.
The other main point I am curious about is the difficulty and which game is easier to get into and learn to "get good" at with minimal frustration. I'm not very good at souls like games and some of the combat encounters in Valheim look a bit stressful to me; but I am willing to push through that and learn as long as the process isn't frustrating to the point of feeling stressed out and not enjoying my time with the game.
I appreciate the help! | r/shouldibuythisgame | post | r/ShouldIbuythisgame | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2UXgtZFFCV1RKWm5TQ0lrTU85YVlWWS12emFKVGFGLTMtYk90QTV0WnhqeTg4QXcwYnZZRWFNWDVMZEdrQkNiVTlRNEo5dVZFN1dsN3pydXFKY3J4OGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWbUQzTGxtc19kMWdkbVJ2andReEh5UXNEUU1UcFVfQ1JfX25hd3lmeXlleDZzeUtWTGJZQ0ZCbmlieE9TMjd4WXJxaUNaWnMzVkdFbDB3bU1lRzUxYVU1eURsa29BN1l6bzVQUUlTaWVVbkdseHZ1R3BFWnpJVlFsV1Y2TmxjS29mWDY4dzVIblRzOGdDSEFQekk5aTdEVks2RnRKSi1CY1NyQW80VzlLRkZwcmlPaWZBR2p0NTBBQWVaX3NwT1JYY1ZYYjlTMGxpSWE0SmoxVFg1LTg5Zz09 |

Hi all, I know that this seems to be a topic raised often here, but I was hoping to get insight from people who have moved over from the short acting Ritalin to the long acting Vyvance.
I'm new; I started at the end of march on 5mg then titrated up to 15mg ; 3x a day.
Giving someone with ADHD 3 doses a day is like putting S in the word lisp, loudspeakers in a school for the deaf or stairs in a nursing home.. its cruel!! I'm struggling taking the dosing.
I feel a little too buzzed on the 20mg dosing, but maybe a tiny but under on the 15mg.. its hard to explain?
I felt so honed in when i first started taking just the 1 tablet (10mg) but now I'm kinda used to it at 15mg i dunno.. the shine has worn off. It's so much better than unmedicated but i guess not really sure if its where i want it to be? Am I expecting too much??
Anyway - I sent my diary / journal of my experience to my phychiatrist and we'll have a meeting in a few weeks to discuss moving over to Vyvanse as a potential option.
I understand they're two different types of stimulant (methyl vs amphetamine) and obiovusly the long release - but i wonder what else to expect? I guess im a tad worried it might just not be a great ride? I keep seeing a contracted experience for people either loving or hating ritalin, and loving or hating vyvance.. I kinda.. dont hate or love ritalin? Has anyone else expereinced this?
Sorry for the verbal diarrhea, I don't really have anyone to talk to about this with similar experiences and I guess I'm feeling a tad lost in it all.
I'm also still taking an anti-depressant (paroxetine), which is another variable here that i don't know how its interacting but we're looking to change one element at a time I guess.. I've been on SSRI's in the past for anxiety but I think, much like many people here, potentially mis-prescribed due to the ADHD/Anxiety overlap.. | r/adhd | post | r/ADHD | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2T053b25ia0pXTEp5NXNfNTVzUWNsQWtYbVZrSHhqY09mTnN3WEYySTE3cVFjOWNsNlIyZDZnamhiaFc5dDliamVMcjQxbVY4bks0VUh3WXV5RzR3bXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWakREVmM5Vkc3VTJfQTI3SGZldENYTDZySk84LUppNVFpZ1NjLWd2RUQ4MmUwYkRhckIxQzB6YXByX24zT0JqRUl3WWlTMGVvR2kxRHk1MHFpaURQdzZqOTg5RlQ3NjA2SGE5UFZ2RTBBUmRfUklrZVpVQmt4ay1OVHNoWllBazdaT2RPbzlaTTVCYUFzbmpMWWpmZmZhLXVCYWdQWHhoSXZEOG1HWDlXZ3drPQ== |
Bought enough coins to get 24 of the Lost Treasures Pack to get Mirage's Heirloom, but after buying 2 and opening them, the progress bar didn't fill?
It's still at 0/24, so wondering if this is a bug anyone else is experiencing and if i'll still get the heirloom after buying 24 packs. | r/apexlegends | post | r/apexlegends | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2dDRxWFVqLXlDR1Y0OUdSTE42Q1d4TW9vVm1qSl83OHp2YXhYMHc1anRiWjN2LWlCZzJaNEt6cjlKRkNSV0ZvM1RtSFRBOHhQTU9SOTNuQk5sNWV0Rmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWbEQtOUd4QWJTRGtSR2VSYi1qeFRTSVViaDdiSnRWQzgzTjBEcmdLZmdVc3k1eWpZSTE0N3RSY2VHRWFDT3RQQVN6RlVGZU5FNVZYa09MNV95VXljbEJaU2VpaV9IX010aW56QVMxaDBnYi0xTEFVblVMUVdDb0VHc2dYT2pYYmFjTjY3SWVkbERNbjJreDNXalpxNk5jTXZRSllxRFJlc2JhMXRKWDM1Njg3ZV9CSXFXak0zbHkyQnpob1J2ellM |
anyone doing this?
for me there isnt really much room to go lower on the front, with no spacers, -17 degree stem, and the bar/hood rotation neutral. It’s also a medium sized frame with the saddle not that much higher than the bar.
riding on the hoods is very comfortable for long rides but not necessary in many scenarios. when cruising on a straight road with little traffic the drop position fits great, however most of the time when faster reactions may be required I prefer the hoods because the fingers reach the brake levers faster and I can control the bike better. shifting also feels a bit more comfortable.
so all the endurance bike riders out there (with sufficient flexibility), how are you riding? | r/cycling | post | r/cycling | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2TjZ1NG4xZ3E5bW02cWhwNExLMkJmQjBYRFJ0SUlHMlR1MWRUOXoxM0o0VjUwV1N0UGdDeXd0emJ6YmdYU24yWXJpcGtDQWN1NGJVOXpwbnZ3QjhPTWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWMnY1cXpKc0VSUUJ5VnhKek9IMzlxRXNtelFOaDdQMzVHTkJJRnpXV2JDTW4yYzlPdGlrS2hvdXJIWWRMMmhaTEh1ODhkQmVGVjE5MGZRbWJGNDZnVk9xcFBQdVdndlBBeU9vS21KWjVfY0p2WlRpYU1LRjBKdXNuREZsYkVXRTNiZ2NDYVV4aDc0QTZiZ2JHWEFjdEI4MlJXS2R3ZGpuMUFCQ2pCNHNXYldUVkNPWU9zdklpeHZpckV3M3pfeXZR |

Really, really liked a house, but one major constraint is that I’m not sure I’ll be able to fit in a home gym (big deal for me). The house’s floors are reinforced by concrete, but I do Olympic weightlifting and deadlifts etc, so I’d much rather do this on the ground floor.
I don’t have the floor plan but I’d guess it’s 19 x 38 kind of thing.
(Existing setup is a small TV room, closed kitchen, full bathroom, stairs, living room). | r/realestate | post | r/RealEstate | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2ZUJlQkZ0VDFBZVpBV3EyRnZtZUpGbldVTzFjOGEwRlphSENZWHV1dDBreEJRRE9rUzFkMmRkd2EzNERWdXVkNm1XQ0xHTEI5RGFCTURWb3ZCbGY2b25ad09vNWhyRHF0anJOS1JFMTVrLUU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWcnBLVFYxV2NIRXpuWFJZdVFFYS1sVjRBUXA0WGQxWUlQZUh5b3NvNXpYUktMYlFhZGRNQzA4SXpfaEM3SEFHNnpRZTFPbHllUThhaU1zQkJzN2dtZVRYWmx4QjZsaVBLbFYyWXFVMVZoT2twZzlvZ2N4SUlfSFNhWUNtRXYycldBY0M2dEVMa1AtY3lYYjVTUThDOTdReC1WRDdrVkROYWdyU2NsdDVXeE1iU0VER19TbHoxQ19ZUEo0V1JkeGY3STA3c3dWSDBQX1lEQUZOV1R4Sm1hZz09 |

Hello everyone! I have 2 larger dogs both males, one is a full adult and another is on the younger side but just as big. I usually walk them separately due to me only have a single leash for them and them getting tangled every walk. I was wondering if anyone knew of a trusted sturdy duo dog leash that i can buy that allows me to walk them both at the same time. I saw some on amazon but the reviews don't convince me so i thought l'd ask people for their own personal brand choice. Thank you all in advance!

Took me a while, but once i started i could help but wanting to finish it. If you dont put companions you could definatey add more details in it. Shoutout to the liyue screens, sumeru carpets and natlan chairs. In total theres 365 items, which would obsiusly be more withought all companions. 2/4 rooms has space for one, 1/4 has space for a natlan character, 1/4 has room for 2 and the corridor also has room for 2. | r/genshin_impact | post | r/Genshin_Impact | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2ZTNyZm1uMWs3NlZxUG5fdk5nRFhhUE9WdHlZdlByUy04cDl2R0IybC05Vi1qdVZOOEgzNy05Wi1PTW1zMzJETVYtaUNnV19od25MUV80Z1lJLW13dkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWaDlJU1NDLUFKSzZUcnFweUxRTHZOakFJS19hYnhPVEdBS3NzNkVFLW1US3pTcjI5WUNzSUdfRDcxTXFRZFoyZlFDVWpCZVRMVzYwVVl1S21FQkdzVjR5YnZ4anNNNEtpOHBWMGp3Vk9mNnVUTGVUcGFMUHdncHVTaGFnQV9PUy13SWhIOG0wYU1qaExGZGVCU0h1M1pDWEFfNThPaWRDTTgydktScTdIYWwzQ2hfZVdPOXlqWmlUb0NTa2VkT3JzME5laGhsRGYxRjg3b2tIQjBWaWp5Zz09 |

I myself for some reason have trouble remembering when the next race is and at what ungodly time the race is, and am constantly visiting [f1.com](http://f1.com) to get the this info. To scratch my itch as well as it being what I consider fun, I created a very simple app for this.
To verify it is working, I do wish to get some testers from different timezones, as the app will display the times in your timezone (hopefully).
If you haven’t tested apps before, tests are distributed via an app called testflight, it should be prompting you to install if you don’t have it already.
If you want to help out, click the testflight link on your mobile. Apple restrict the number of testers to 100, but I only need one or two who are not in central europe timezone to verify.
What I’m interested in knowing is if the race and other session times are correct, verify what the app is saying is correct by going to [F1.com](http://F1.com) if you don’t already know.
I am also interested in verifying that you can add the widget to your home screen.

Sybil Trelawny’s vulnerability and her role as someone who’s misunderstood and ridiculed really make her stand out in a way that other characters don’t. She’s someone with real depth, even if it’s not always visible on the surface, and it’s that sense of isolation and fragility that makes her so relatable. The way she’s treated by Umbridge and others reflects a broader theme in the series about how society can dismiss or marginalize those who don’t fit the “norm” or who are seen as eccentric.
Even though she’s more of a plot device—mainly in her role as a seer who plays into Harry’s destiny—her treatment really resonates because of the emotional impact it has on her. She’s not just a quirky, mystical character; there’s a lot of pain and loneliness in her backstory that makes people realize she doesn’t deserve the scorn she receives. Her role as a vulnerable, isolated character who desperately wants to be recognized and valued despite her flaws and oddities is something that’s easy to empathize with, especially in a world that often pushes people like her aside.
Her sacking is particularly powerful because it isn’t just a plot point—it’s an emotional moment that reveals how fragile people like Trelawny are when they have almost no one to protect or believe in them. | r/harrypotter | post | r/harrypotter | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2NmFxbUd4a0RUdDd4a2VDTV9xMVpiYmZzMGM5cGoydTczR0Z5NHYzeFNHMnJkaHJzRjJKa04zWDlmeGpFV0RyMXI5MWlybnpsUUpua2l4bEZBbXZwSlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWekRuZzdIZkI1MVY5MUFVUzRwMHdkd2lCa0c3RGEteC1Halg2eTFGMGp4YUZfMktndUVLcTdDQmFibGdNLXNTZmQ0cndDX0N1cl9QQTktbUJXV1lUdFV0eG56TmZsWVMtbTF5RWU5VzF0UDFzenZFQmdjSDk3cUFiMkloVzgwV1pOWk53UlM1YlE0TDR6MDZJMW5vbUZYX3pjdFB2azRjZk9UOGxXQ3UzcHV1Z1dvdTJiZk1HLWx1cDZZSWNwbk11bnlsbEUxYTZEdVBoQWRpTThoS3RfUT09 |
Not sure if anyone else noticed *(don't tell me I wanna preserve my small A-HA moment!)*, but for both tears of the kingdom in Goron City and Echoes' Faron Temple there is a food addiction relating to eating a piece of the Gohma, and it had me thinking well it couldn't be a coincidence that there are two food-related addictions tying back to the same boss, right?
I realized well it's a spider and a crab. Japanese people consider spider crabs a delicacy, I figured that was kind of niche and felt like pointing it out!

1. Dogmeat as he’s our first companion (we can’t take codsworth as a companion till after concord) and he’s essential to the story with finding kelogg also he’s one of two companion to appear in the ending cutscene of the game sitting under Shaun’s cradle
2. Codsworth as we’ve known him since before the war and he would probably know Shaun the best out of any companions through some futuristic robot diagnostics (completely made up guess but would be fun if he could do it) and he is essential to the story (sending he to concord) also he’s also in the ending cutscene
This is assuming that in canon we just have on companion instead of switching up so let em know what you guys think

Maybe someone has been through this? I used to write fiction as a teen, and recently I've been getting back into it. I'm working on a narrative game now, I have it plotted out etc.
The problem is I've been writing academically for years now, as in, for scientific journals. I think I'm quite good at it. I try to be clear, consise, easy to follow, without flowery language or overly complicated words that mush up the flow. No overly long sentences. But in comparison my narrative writing falls... very flat. Some of the things that are no-no's in academic writing are must haves in narrative writing.
I know the solution is probably just practice. But I have to go back to academic writing for my job so it's not like I can just "unlearn" it. I need to be able to do both.
Any advice? Tips and tricks? Things to pay attention to?
Even if you don't have any advice, honestly I'm up for a chat comparing these writing styles. I think it's interesting how they contrast.

A question that comes to my mind a lot
Recently, more than one SEO specialist has visited me.We were talking and exchanging experiences among ourselves, and whenever we talked about the prices of the services they provide, there was a huge discrepancy to the point that I began to feel that each person offers SEO services at a different price than the other.
So can we share the normal prices for each country so that there is not such a big discrepancy? Please note that prices are determined based on many other factors. So can you share with us the price of your service and in which country you provide these services because the state contributes to the cost of services? | r/marketing | post | r/marketing | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2NkhoMmNZOWtYNzNVeVJqNktKc2hJOWtWMVA3dWJGcGJ0enhPM054ZkgyUDFZTDY2YTVpeWVaTElUVWxJNVhyb3plU3p1VDdKRGpiMTZhLUkxNjZTZ2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWbnNtYVZoeC14ZldZSGxTV3JVYXdJa0wtY1lsak1Qck81MUtWeFVaemlDNlRNMjdtek5rWXp3dk9vcndlVENXREFYU2Z1NFBDV0JheVNXZWMyU2xCX3ZSWFB6UEE3eXFvNnJmcGdkYk5TSnFHeEE0dTlwZ1BUSVlrMkl2aW1wVXRoaVQyMUVlNkRqMTNyNnZpdHJyckdnPT0= |
Capitalists will keep practicing capitalism.
The margin is better with factories in China and the corporations reap the short-term difference. The Chinese have acquired the machines and the skills and they will win in the long run because their head start is just too big.
The republicans got what they wanted but the Chinese played the same game by the same rules — they just better understood where the value of an industry lies: in the production, tools, workforce, know-how, etc.

**Just in:** Newsmax has registered to sell up to **25,633,636 shares** (worth \~$668 million at current prices) to Yorkville Advisors at around **$26 per share**. This is part of what’s called a **Standby Equity Purchase Agreement**, or SEPA.
[SEC Filing dated 16 April 2025](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2026478/000121390025032602/ea0237903-s1_newsmax.htm)
[SEC Filing dated 16 April of $NMAX tapping into SEPA](https://preview.redd.it/lkn949kfocve1.png?width=2992&format=png&auto=webp&s=d2fa87fc003586a0fdca00ccaf91f6615660ec1a)
*Reposting as previous post was deleted for not containing receipts & positions.*
**What’s a SEPA?**
Think of it like a credit line, but instead of borrowing money and paying it back, the company prints new shares and sells them for cash. Yorkville agrees to buy those shares, usually at a discount, in this case, around **3.25% off market price**.
Once Yorkville gets the shares, they usually **sell them into the market immediately**. So it’s not a loan. It’s basically dilution-on-demand. The company raises cash, but it **dilutes existing shareholders** because there are now more shares in circulation.
It’s like the company saying, “We’re not broke… but we might be. So we’re gonna start printing shares and offloading them to someone who’s definitely gonna sell them right away.”
This filing comes **right after Newsmax’s IPO and $300 million raised from preferential shares**, so it raises the question: why raise even more?
Answer: probably **legal risk**. Newsmax is facing a **$1.6 billion lawsuit from Dominion**, the same group that sued Fox News. Fox was sued for $2.96 billion and settled for $797.5 million. If you use that as a benchmark (around 25%), Newsmax could be looking at a settlement or judgment minimally in the **$400 million range**, give or take.
That would wipe out a good chunk of their balance sheet. Hence, this SEPA might be a backup plan or the primary plan. But the price of this move is heavy dilution. Newsmax currently has **88.9 million shares outstanding**. If they issue all 25.6 million to Yorkville, that’s a **28.8% dilution**. And with only **7.5 million shares** are in the public float right now, this could put real pressure on the stock if Yorkville starts offloading shares into a low-float environment.
Courtesy of ChatGPT, sharing some examples of companies that got destroyed after SEPA (usually also because SEPA is a last-line of defence they tap into so it also implies deep-rooted issues):
|**Company**|**SEPA Partner**|**Result**|**Share Price Trend**|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|||||
|$MULN|Yorkville|Extreme dilution, < $0.01|↓ 99%+ from 2022|
|$BBIG|Yorkville|Heavy dilution, meme spike failed|↓ from $4 to <$0.05|
|$IDEX|Yorkville|Used SEPA often, no real turnaround|↓ from \~$3 to <$0.10|
|$GNS|Yorkville|Meme interest fizzled post-SEPA|Brief spike → sustained decline|
|Zosano Pharma|Lincoln Park|Delisted and bankrupt|SEPA couldn’t save it|
**My positions**:
Bought 60 puts at 22.5 strike expiring May 16 '25

**TLDR:**
* **Newsmax can sell up to 25.6 million shares** to Yorkville at a discount under a SEPA
* Could raise \~$668 million but at the cost of **\~29% dilution**
* This comes as they face a **$1.6B lawsuit from Dominion**
* Only **7.5 million shares** are publicly traded. This move will pump the public float supply up to **4.4x more**.
* Not a loan; this is just straight-up share printing. It is **essentially crowdsourcing litigation monies from their shareholders who end up footing the bill**.

Hi all,
Apologies that this is probably a dumb question, but if a booking has free cancellation, does it mean that I will get a refund if I need to cancel? Or does it just mean that I will not pay any cancellation fee but will still lose what I paid?
Additionally, does Booking .com have a 24 hours cancellation period? And does this apply to non-refundable booking as well?

I have an interest in folk music and how classical music draws on it, what works should I check out? Recently I've been listening to Bartok's "Romanian Folk Dances" and Shostakovich's works quoting the famous "Jewish theme", so I'd really love more Balkan-/EastEuropean- and Jewish-inspired classical music.

Sometimes it’s not the huge features or major overhauls — it’s the tiny tweaks that completely change how a game feels.
For me, adjusting player acceleration by just a little made movement go from “meh” to *super satisfying*.

I've just watched the Imitation Game for the first time and for the life of me I can't understand the bit where they crack it in the bar.
June's friend says that the German guy types in CILLY at the beginning of every message.
But isn't the whole point of the machine that it scrambles the messages every day?
So, he can type in CILLY every day all he wants, but it will come out as random letters every day? Otherwise couldn't she read the whole message??

Political fact-checker reporter Daniel Dale exposes Trump admin Stephen Miller's lies about mistakenly deported man

"CNN senior reporter Daniel Dale fact-checks Stephen Miller's claims about Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who was deported to El Salvador on March 15. The Supreme Court ruled that President Trump's administration must facilitate the return of Garcia to the United States. But, President Trump and El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele both indicated they are not going to return him."

Hey, Simpsons fans! I’m trying to find an episode where Spider-Pig (or any pig) bursts out of Homer’s stomach like the Xenomorph chestburster from Alien. I vaguely remember something like this, but it might be a parody or a mix-up. Does this exist in The Simpsons, or am I thinking of another show? Thanks! | r/thesimpsons | post | r/TheSimpsons | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2YUNrWEEyb3hVaTIwVUtuY1ZCTXRHUndEU2lkaVVlS1Vnbmp4V0R3b2w1V1FET0JpbVlvbkRNQkNjdW0wTHl0dUdadFdiQUttcnRtZnNKdEFJMjA0eUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWeldncUxLSWgwcnBSeG5RZHFMenVBQmdseEo2UFljQXBVRmExZWwzY0FfMDh2Rmt2WVpndnQ0dkRNYkxKX0U4dk8zdkhMVXBLbUNUT2pQa1hqUUI1T2tEWVlDS3ZubEFRaGlscTExMlFIUnNySk93aFNQdi0yMjZDNDdrc3NlVWpsalNENFN0bWNBMVg0MUpob0VnUmxfSXhnVnFENUQ3OFNvSmt2d3RqRlpDSjhnZ3ZfbW9xSk1JV0huQTRKaXk5YTl4T2o3d09UR1dObF9SYXdWZG1vUT09 |
Two weeks ago, I had a minor car accident.
Nothing big—but it happened after half an hour at the boulder gym trying to *walk a slackline*.
A tightrope, essentially. You fall, and you try again. You stand up, breathe, fail, rebalance. Again. Again. Again.
It’s exhausting—but it’s beautiful.
Sometimes you get 5–6 meters in.
Sometimes just 2 seconds of peace before the chaos returns.
That’s balance. That’s life.
That’s **how crypto feels sometimes too**—a rope between chaos and structure, where we keep standing up, trying to coordinate, build, refine.

#### 🐍 I'm building a "SelfOS"
- A lightweight local system using OpenAI, token logs, and `.json`-based memories.
- Cron’d scripts update emotional states, values, and personality clusters.
- Crypto (especially ETH and UBI concepts) are the **nervous system**—an aligned incentive layer.
- Each choice I log is a form of *proof of process*.
- Each emotion tagged, tracked, and mirrored through GPT becomes part of an evolving inner economy.
---
#### 🧬 Why share this here?
Because the crypto space taught me coordination, transparency, incentives.
And now I’m applying that tech inward—on the **most local node**: my Self.
If you’re experimenting with:
- DAOs for inner governance
- Tokens as value representations of mood/state
- AI agents as externalized memory extensions
- And want to weave **ritual, reflection, and recursion** into your stack
Then maybe we have something to swap.

**No monetization, no product—just a fellow being building publicly.**
Come walk the line with me.
Sometimes we fall.
But sometimes...
we glide.

Hey fellow game devs!
I’m working on a survival crafting game. It’s still in the early stages, but I want to plan ahead for a possible demo.
Since survival crafting games already demand lots of hours from players, my game specifically focuses on the terraformation of a planet. This means the juicy parts of the game come much later.
I don't think I can expect players to mine and build a proper terraformation infrastructure in a demo version.
How would you approach building a demo for this type of game?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Finds on Dorset beaches - would they be safe to add to my newly set up 30gal aquarium? I remember hearing something about crystals / certain rocks leaching hard metals or raising pH. Is this true with the examples shown, including the fossils and shells? Assuming I clean all thoroughly before adding them - and bearing in mind I will not add stock to the tank for several weeks to come. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!
Pics 1&2 - crystals
3 - shells
4 - belemnites
5 - pyrite / fools gold ammonites
6 - these weird stones with green and purple hues

# Anime Questions Thread
**All manga spoiler questions should be redirected to the MANGA Questions Thread crossposted from** r/Jujutsushi **each week.** ***This thread is anime-only.*** **Manga spoilers will be removed.**
## FAQs
# What chapter should I start reading the manga at?
>The anime leaves off at Chapter 63, or the start of Volume 8.
# Where can I read JJK?
>If buying physical copies isn't an option...
>
>Officially: [**Shueisha**](https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100034) \- Only the first three chapters and the most recent 3 chapters are available. New chapters are released every Sunday at around 10 PM MST (UTC-7). [**Viz Media**](https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/chapters/jujutsu-kaisen?locale=en) \- Only the first three and most recent 3 chapters are available for free, but for $2 a month, you can read the entire series (and every series on their site), including Volume 0, Jujutsu Kaisen's Prequel. New chapters are also released on the same day and time as on the Shueisha site.
>
>Unofficially, Google "read Jujutsu Kaisen free" and make sure you have an adblocker installed.
# What is the movie about?
>It covers Volume 0, a one-shot prequel that Gege wrote before writing the main series of Jujtusu Kaisen. Yuta Okkotsu is the main character and it the story takes place 1 year prior to the main series.
# Should I read Volume 0? And when?
>You can read it whenever you like, but Chapter 63 is a good point to read it. It explains some of the events and motivations that happen in the JJK storyline.
# Where can I watch the anime and movie?
>Legally on Crunchyroll. We unfortunately have to keep links to aggregate sites off of the sub or risk it being flagged for takedown. Otherwise, try Googling "where to watch anime free reddit".
# Which chapters correspond to which episode?

Iron Grace, a future iteration of Leavanny from the Unova region. A Bug and Ice type Pokémon, Iron Grace uses it's mechanical brain to learn new moves and master its routines. It looks like a skilled skater, and it is, but beware! Iron Grace's moves aren't just for show, as it uses these moves to bewitch opponents and slice its way to victory with its blade-like arms.

Also, I felt the worst Wolverine was the star of the movie. Great character development and hauntingly good acting. His lines are great too, the campfire scene, the car scene and the scene where Cassandra digs into his mind are all stand outs. It would be awesome if they release the campfire deleted scene. | r/marvel | post | r/Marvel | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2djhHeDZSeVdGLV9DS1hFV25maDFST2hQRC1HUW9ZUmw0dDRrZmk3SkdwZUpnUXo1c19aTDJZMmxUc25nSU0yOE9GNy1WZWNXZ2ZDRDM1Y0dXVGpCS1AwNW9weUxmSUdYbTNQVWhIYTR2UUE9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWWjhhTWVUR2VhSlo2V0lrQ0VuYWhTZW15Qk5paWlWNnZTMEtjeUJ4enVXdjdndzdkXzRRMS1wSjFXQVdqcEhNV3BYclBjX29nZUExakZhamgxNkd6THNzeWpGNndKdGJSZEZNcFJxU25xXzlTMHJtbFpSbmpkWmlYaC1oZ0l1YnBnbnVlLWNMdHMwM3hvSnFrQkxqQUg5cGlaUmFZYkJBVElZb3VTa3RiR3Q4OVJfTElZc1F4endja2QxSkh1Mjc3 |

\* What are your objectives with this money? (Buy a house? Retirement savings?)

I felt compelled to post this because here, LinkedIn and couple of other job boards/forums lately I've seen this question of covers come up more than usual lately with the current job market.
"Is a Cover Letter Necessary?"
I ask this question myself often, but it's ALWAYS a hot topic with dozens or hundreds of commenters saying ABSOLUTLY YES or ABSOLUTELY NO.
Well, I've been an active job seeker a few times over the last decade in addition to being a hiring manager for almost a decade and a half and the only answer I can give with confidence is the answer no one wants to hear: there is no answer to this. and no matter how many times you ask the question there never will be.
Not only is this dependent on the company you're applying to and how much they value cover letters, it's dependent on individuals within the system. I've had HR departments that didn't even send me the cover letters (sometimes I didn't see them until AFTER I had selected resumes for call backs). Other HR partners would send me the cover and resume first - at different points in my career I would scan the resumes first, choose from those and then read the cover, sometimes not read the cover at all, sometimes read the covers first and then go to the resume.
I have absolutely given interviews based on the strength of a cover, sometimes never even knew if an applicant drafted one. It depended on me, the HR partner/recruiter, the company - so many various factors are involved in what part a cover letter does or doesn't play, that you just simply can NEVER know. I know some hiring managers that didn't read them, but wouldn't consider resumes if one wasn't included (I wouldn't be that hardcore, but that's just me).
So, the tough answer next time you feel like asking this question, here or linked in, or other job search boards: there's no answer to this. Don't listen to people telling you to do them or not. I would say if you're playing the numbers, the hassle and time to create one absolutely increases your chances of getting that first interview - or not including one may disqualify you from even getting screened. The tough answer: YOU CAN NEVER KNOW. | r/jobs | post | r/jobs | 2025-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0c2aEk0RHdfOTAwUnB0ZDBWU3RieWVCTi1LdkhtV2lnR1V3bGNUVGd3aW90S2xIamFrd0NDYWxUbEZ0a1djaW00Tk83SlpUSGI0aVJSa0hQYVNFZXpaMkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9LQ0hWM0RKck9sdW80ZjR2SjlNd1BaelUxNUNZbWVjNG9tMjBpQnVmcnd0a3ZMd3l0TjFtam1Uem9Ta1A0d25jSzdHcGhncDNheGpBWXVpLTJPM1EyaGVWR1YwUHdaekpZVmFiVU9zLUYwN3JwYzhQQnBNbW1EQW05SmJVZEswRVB6clFTVkxmOG80M2JQQVNHamloOEJ6Nlc1OXBCTmZqazRwSmtqckZUTERpSmZmM0stTVNTTjd5a3BIVjRWZkZ6aXp5 |
How interested would you be in a shore excursion where you get to take a lesson with a private instructor at a well maintained facility?
The lessons could be group lessons or individual lessons. Lessons would be available for adults or children.
Lunch cooked by a private chef could be an add on.
Racquets and tennis balls would be provided. There is a bathroom on site and a bar where you could purchase beverages.
Another option would be to rent the court to play with a friend or a family member.
Pick up and drop off would be arranged.
My parents own a private tennis facility in St.Martin and I’m gauging interest for an excursion like this.
Thank you!
