2023.03.29 08:09 RehnWriter Severin’s Hill
When we’re kids, we all believe to be invincible, immortal even. My friends and I were no different.
We all thought we were at the center of the universe. We had high aspirations, wanting to be scientists, doctors or astronauts.
I was the only one to ever get close to any of those dreams.
Not in that sense, of course. I’m the owner of my small town’s only bike store. It’s ironic, really...
It was summer, and the heat was terrible, but I still busied my old bones around the store. While I was cleaning, I noticed a group of three young boys outside. The moment I saw them, I couldn’t help but smile.
They’d gathered in front of the store, but they weren’t checking out the shiny new bikes. No, what had caught their attention was a special bike, one that I’d propped up right next to the entrance.
It was a rusty old piece of junk, almost as old as me, but over the years it had become a staple of the store.
As I made my way outside, I could already hear their high-pitched voices echoing through the air.
“Just look how old it is,” one of them laughed.
“It’s all rusty and broken,” another one added.
“I bet if you sit on it, it breaks apart right away,” the last one chimed in, barely able to contain his laughter.
“Now what are you boys laughing at?” I called out to them.
They all turned to me and I found myself at the center of their attention.
“Why are you keeping this thing around, old man? No one’s going to buy it, anyway!”
“Oh, I know, I know, this old thing here’s not for sale,” I answered.
“Then why’s it here? People will think all you sell is useless junk!”
With that, all three of them burst out laughing again.
Before I got the chance to retort anything, they all jumped on their bikes and raced away.
“Be careful now, boys,” I called after them, but I knew they wouldn’t listen to me. They never did.
As I stared after them and watched how they vanished down the road, I couldn’t help but feel like a little boy again.
Back in the day, long decades ago, I was always riding my bike. There was no internet back then, no home entertainment and our town didn’t have an arcade. So, all we did was to play outside and ride our bikes.
There were four of us, me and my three best friends: buck toothed Joey, chubby Marcus and scared little Andrew, or Scardy Andy, as we called him.
We were young, and we were invincible, immortal even, and we did many crazy things on our bike.
We’d ride downhill with our arms high in the air, we’d tease people while rushing past them and we’d jump over the heaps of trash at Old Terrance’s scrapyard.
Joey was the craziest of us and our self-proclaimed leader. He was a whirlwind of a boy and always came up with new shenanigans and crazy things to do.
It might have been because of his home situation. Joey’s mom was poor, barely able to scrape by, and a fair share of rumors about her source of money were going around.
Joey’s bike was a mess, a rag-tag piece he’d ‘tuned’ with various parts he’d found around town or stolen from Old Terrane’s scrapyard. His bell was the absolute worst. It wouldn’t ring, but make this strange scraping sound, but was still louder than any other bell I ever heard.
He always had his head in the clouds and had more dreams than the rest of us combined. Each week, he wanted to do or become something else. One week, he wanted to be a scientist, the next an explorer, and the week after the big boss at our town’s only factory.
That summer, though, Joey wanted to be like Mitch.
Mitch was our town’s troublemaker. He was the type who went to school only when he wanted, hit on all the girls, had been in more fights at fifteen than anyone else and could always get you booze.
He was the personification of a bad boy, someone who didn’t play by the rules. Joly looked up to him immensely.
During summer break, all Joey did was to try to prove that he was as cool as Mitch, imitating many of the crazy and cool things Mitch had done.
That summer, we did a lot of stupid things, dangerous things even, all because Joey wanted to impress Mitch.
But, what can I say, as much as Joey looked up to Mitch, we looked up to Joey.
One thing that Mitch did was to ride down the steep and forbid Severin’s Hill on his bike at full speed. And of course, Joey wanted to do that same thing as well.
Severin’s Hill was a large hill at the edge of our small town. There was a single, steep road that led downwards, almost too steep to be driven on. It continued down the entire hill before it led into a small, forested gorge.
It was a treacherous road, one that even cars were wary of in poor weather and it was off-limits to us kids and our bikes.
And yet, Mitch had descended it, screaming, taking his hands off the handlebar, going as fast as he could.
I later learned that he was lying. Of course he was. People like Mitch always lie. But back then, we didn’t know, and all the kids in town were in awe of what he’d supposedly done.
It was only natural that Joey had to drive down Severin’s Hill, too.
One day, after teasing old Terrance for a while, Joey led us to Severin’s Hill. After checking that no one was around, we made our way to the top.
It was summer, a hot summer, and pushing our bikes up the side of the hill was hard. Even now, I remember arriving at the top, wheezing and panting, coated in sweat.
“Why are we up here?” I asked, already expecting the worst.
“Because,” Joey started, pushing his arms to his hips. “We’re going to go down Severin’s Hill!”
There it was, I thought.
“But, my mom says we’re not allowed to,” Scardy Andy spoke up.
“Yeah, I heard it’s really dangerous,” Marcus added.
“You’re all a bunch of babies! It’s going to be awesome! Mitch did it all the time, and if he did it, we’re going to do it too!”
He said it with such enthusiasm, it was hard not to get at least a little excited.
“What if,” I was about to start, but Joey didn’t let me voice my doubts.
“We’re going to be legends, just like Mitch!”
While Marcus, Scardy Andy and I looked at each other, Joey was already pushing his bike to the steep road that led down the hill.
It wasn’t long before we all got our bikes and joined him, staring down the seemingly endless road before it vanished between the trees of the small grove.
I felt anxious as I got onto my bike, but fear didn’t seem to exist for Joey. He was all pumped. His eyes were wide open and glowing with excitement.
He was mumbling and nodding to himself as he stared down. I caught the words ‘if Mitch did it,’ from his mumblings.
Then, he jumped on his bike and hit the pedals.
“Well guys, this is it, let’s make history!” he called out as he sped down.
For a few seconds we looked at each other, unsure what to do, but we all knew Joey would never let it go if we didn’t go along with him.
I heard Marcus gulp before he rushed after him. Before I knew it, I was on my bike as well, speeding down after them. Scardy Andy followed soon after.
The feeling of speeding down the hill, the feeling of getting faster and faster, was amazing. The adrenalin pumping through my veins differed from anything I ever felt before. As my small bike rushed down the road, I couldn’t help but scream and yell in excitement. Faster and faster I became, rushing over the hot asphalt, hitting my pedals harder and harder.
Suddenly, something hit me in the eye. A bug, a damn bug, and crashed right into it. For a moment I was blind. Fear washed over me. I was terrified, and I hit the brakes to stop my bike.
While I rubbed my eye, trying to get my vision back, I heard Joey calling out to me from ahead, and soon Marcus and Scardy Andy rushed past me, laughing.
They were all screaming as they continued their descent, leaving me behind.
I was cursing, almost crying. They thought I was scared, had pussied out, and now they’d lever it go! In my anger, I jumped back on my bike and was about to rush after them.
From where I was, I could see them as they raced down the road. As I drove on, though, I saw the small gorge, the forest around it and something my friends didn’t see.
To the right side of the road, hidden behind the trees, a tractor was on his way towards the road via an old dirt path. The road my friends were speeding down on.
I screamed, called out to them, but they were too far away, too absorbed in their adrenalin-fueled descent. I sped after them, down towards the forestry gorge. But of course, I was too late.
I heard it before I saw it, three loud bangs and the grinding of metal. As I slowed down and got closer, I could finally see it. The tractor, the bikes, and the blood.
The driver was already outside, screaming, lamenting, crying.
He hadn’t seen them neither. They were hidden behind the trees and he hadn’t expected that anyone would ride down Severin’s Hill like they did.
It was nothing but chance, nothing but a stupid chance. They’d all crashed into the side of the tractor and they’d all died almost instantly.
My friends thought they were invincible, immortal even, but in the blink of an eye, reality caught up with them and sniffed their lives out forever.
And I, I’d have been with them. The only reason I survived, the only reason I’m still here, is because of that bug that got in my eye. Another chance encounter, one that also took my invincibility away because that day I learned just how feeble life truly is.
After that day, I never road my bike again, I couldn’t. But I never gave that bike away, even when my parents wanted to sell or get rid of it.
After I’d finished high school, and out of options, I took a summer job at the bike store in our small town.
Before long, a summer job turned into a steady one. My dreams and aspirations ebbed away and when the old owner retired, it was only natural for me to take over.
Even then, I still kept my old bike. I couldn’t dare give it away. It was the only memory I had of my friends and the days I spent with them. And so, once the store fell into my hands, I put it up at the store.
I don’t remember when they first showed up, those three little boys.
They’d be marveling at the new expensive bikes, but most of the time they were joking about my rusty old one.
“Why’s that old, dirty bike here anyway, old man?”
“You should throw it away already!”
And many times I’d tell them why it was still here.
“Oh, but that’s my bike, boys. I can’t just throw it away,” I’d answer, smiling.
“That old thing? It’s going to break down the moment you move it!”
“Yeah, and it’s not made for adults like you, anyway!”
“I know, I know, but perhaps, one day, I’ll ride it again,” I’d add.
“Yeah, as if, old man! Let’s go guys,” the leader of the group would call out.
He was a buck toothed little boy, and he’d race away, hitting his old, scraping bell, the loudest bell I ever heard.
Whenever they’d vanish down the road, I’d step up to my old, rusty bike, caressing the handlebar. Maybe one day, I’d ride it again.
Maybe one day, I’d ride with them again.

2023.03.29 08:03 fernwhisperer Fedora 37 insists that I live in a place called Hutchinson and I can't change it.
I was using Fedora for years but I decided to distro-hop, but came back to Fedora. Everything worked fine for about a day, but today it decided that I live in Hutchinson. It had the time and date set to it as well, so I turned off automatic time zone and date and time, and manually chose the correct settings. My time and date are correct, but it still shows the wrong weather and it turns on the night light during the day. (I live in Asia). Is there another setting I can change to correct this problem? If I click on the weather, and bring up the weather app, it shows my correct location, but it still shows Hutchinson in the notifications.
Edit: The weather seems like it was following where my VPN was connected. It's never done that before. After disconnecting and reconnecting my VPN a few times, it now follows my local time instead of where my VPN is connected (for now), but the night light still follows Hutchinson time apparently. (I have the night light set to sunset to sunrise).

2023.03.29 07:51 kai_lin_ Continued in comments—an old friend I went no-contact with ten years ago died of an overdose last night
Caleb* and I were friends from about 13-16 years old. We typically hung out with our mutual friend, Peter*, who is still very much in my life. My mom was his babysitter he and I were kids, so he’s a lot like a brother to me; we lived next door for years. He recently attended my older sister’s wedding just last year, but unfortunately, Peter’s wife couldn’t make it and Caleb, who was living with Peter and his wife at the time, was not invited.
Caleb and I had a complicated friendship. He was my first kiss. He was the reason for the one and only time I’d ever sneaked out of my parent’s house when I was a kid. He introduced me to pot, but I was 14 and I decided I wasn’t ready for it yet. He continued to smoke and once, tricked me into giving him money to buy us “weed to last us all summer,” but he smoked it a lot of it pretty quickly, and the rest was confiscated by his parents. They took his bedroom door off its hinges for a while after that.
I never told his family I’d supplied the money for the pot when we were kids. It was only once, and I’d thought it was only a run-of-the-mill experience with drugs—I’d paid for it with my babysitting money. To me, it felt scary, but innocent and not the kind of risk that would impact our futures greatly. I didn’t think my friend had a drug issue, I thought he was a just “bad” kid who didn’t respect me and chose to do something selfish.
I think overall, I was a better influence on Caleb and than he was for me. I also liked to do “bad” things, but I knew where to draw the line. I knew better than to let my curiosity ruin or place limits on my future—and I urged him to behave and straighten out a lot when we were friends, but I also was too young to understand how to navigate someone who was starting to go down that kind of path. I did what I could to help—I took care of him when he got hungover once, but he kept everyone at a distance. Sometimes, when we were alone, he’d confess to feelings and kiss me. Other times, he’d say cruel things about me in front of other people and he wouldn’t talk to me at school—only after his friends weren’t around. I knew he was a fair weather friend and while it irritated me, I also didn’t care if he wanted to have a separate school life—I knew from what he told me, that his parents were strict, but I didn’t realize until I was older that I didn’t know the full story about his habits.
My parents never really created a taboo around alcohol. They let me drink at home once I’d turned 16 and—only when their parents explicitly told them it was okay—they’d let my friends have a drink or two when they’d be over for sleepovers, but only on the weekends. We were never allowed to drive afterwards, and only after a big breakfast in the morning. I personally felt respected and safe in this environment. I was able to safely learn my limits with alcohol before going away to college this way. I think it kept me out of trouble in the long-run.
My parents never let Caleb drink at our house. “He gets soda,” they’d tell me, and on a few occasions, I’d caved to his pleas for something harder, and would sneak something for us to split. I didn’t know he was manipulating me at the time—I was too young to know what that really was. All I knew was I felt gross when I was around him.
We lived in the same neighborhood and as Caleb and I got closer, so did our parents/families. I eventually became friends with Caleb’s sister, Tilly*, and soon the four of us—me, Caleb, Peter, and Tilly were all hanging out regularly. I started hanging out with Tilly and Peter more than Caleb, but since everyone was friends with everyone, it was hard to draw a line without confronting Caleb’s actions and potentially getting him into serious trouble. He got grounded pretty often, so I didn’t think it would’ve been fair to add to that.

I didn’t know he was manipulating me at the time—I was too young to know what that really was. All I knew was I felt gross when I was around him.
We lived in the same neighborhood and as Caleb and I got closer, so did our parents/families. I eventually became friends with Caleb’s sister, Tilly*, and soon the four of us—me, Caleb, Peter, and Tilly were all hanging out regularly. I started hanging out with Tilly and Peter more than Caleb, but since everyone was friends with everyone, it was hard to draw a line without confronting Caleb’s actions and potentially getting him into serious trouble. He got grounded pretty often, so I didn’t think it would’ve been fair to add to that.

I am an Aires on the east coast who is also a hopeless romantic, sentimental fool, and looking for my monogamous soul mate, no polyamory, to be with me and accept me and not be judged. Though I warn you now I expect to give the same and I expect us to share all things in our lives good or bad and if anything happens to talk to each other not to run to our friends who are maybe close but are always going to be outside our relationship. I also want to be able to just talk about how our days have gone, how we feel, how the weather is, and normal conversations as well. That’s how a team works and what I want. I am also a bit reserved because of life experience. Despite that I warmed up quickly in high school and was a prince there but retreated a bit after school and losing contact with my friends, recently reconnected with them and a handful I absolutely admire for their loyalty even after all the years. I hope to have my book published in 5 years but I expect not as I am always reading new research and refining plus I’m working on an ultra realistic map for it, I like making them. So I expect to just be on the middle but one day it will be completed, maybe a series not sure yet. I am an artist, graphic art and literature also a caregiver. My hobbies include as you guessed art, video games, RPGs,trivia, reading, some movies & TV shows. I’m a sweet, intelligent, compassionate, chivalrous knight who believes in truth, honor, love, family and am looking for a lady of my own. I guess that makes me a little old fashioned, but sometimes old fashioned is what we need. I'm a straight man who tries to be fair but I'm use to standing on my own, regardless of how hard the struggle even if sometimes its only by crawling, but I am my own man with a strong endurance. I don't do drugs or drink myself, never have not even after surgery or injury as I said I'm use to standing on my own and surviving so I need all my senses at their sharpest so I can make the best decisions on how to do that, plus I'm proud of just how strong I am, even more than I thought I was. I’m also a unique person. If you've seen Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings, I look kinda like Aragorn there perhaps a bit more like in Return of the King during Winter months. I might be willing to trade photos later after getting to know each other better (in the meantime heres an artistic representation: https://imgur.com/a/FkoNrI3). I got a heart of gold to give to the right lady, hopefully for eternity. Current song: Lost in the Echo. Got questions? Ask it’s how we learn. Maybe we can play the question game and learn about each other. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

2023.03.29 07:45 im_da_nice_guy Given the amount of clear and obvious eyewitness encounters, why is there so few, if any, photographs of objects described?
I can't, and won't try, to make judgment on the more famous and well known photographs/videos frequently presented here, but even assuming those photographs are legitimate representations of the exotic objects as claimed, there is still a massive disparity in the expected photographic evidence available, given the thousands and thousands of reputable witnesses over the decades. With the proliferation of inexpensive camera technology even before cell phones became ubiquitous, why is it that we don't see more clear photos and videos?
It has been claimed that radar technology frequently captures anomalous craft, and if thats true, and the eyewitnesses are true, then what is it about photography that would be so particularly ineffective? Are there many claims from eyewitnesses of cameras failing? Even if witnesses are too in awe and unable to or too distracted to get out or find a camera, what about security cams, doorbell cameras, weather and news static cameras? Dashboard cameras? Is it possible that whatever the source of these UFOs are has some sort of counter-photographic, in particular, technology? Would this point toward eyewitness encounters being primarily in people own minds, like a manipulation of consciousness directly rather than a physical object? And if that's the case, why would they show up on radar?

2023.03.29 07:44 notparkinglot Feeling trapped because of my driving anxiety.
I've had vehophobia for as long as I can remember, and I'm proud to say that I finally overcame it enough to drive very short distances. I primarily only drive to the grocery store and my current job - which are both less than 10 minutes away - and occasionally I will drive slightly longer distances if there is low traffic and good weather. While researching how to overcome phobias, I heard a quote that said "anxiety makes your world a small and scary place" because your comfort zone stays as small as possible. And as you push your comfort zone, your world gets bigger and brighter. Even though my world has gotten a little bit bigger, it still feels so small. I live with my parents in a big suburban neighborhood with very little public transportation. All of my friends' houses are at least 20- 30 minutes away from me, and require driving on the freeway, which means I only get to hang out with them if I can afford a Lyft there and back. And I fucking HATE my job to the point where I sit in my car and cry before going into work. (I work at Starbucks). I've applied to other food service places in my area and tons of remote jobs on Indeed but haven't gotten any responses. There was one retail job that I almost applied to that seemed like a healthier environment, but it's lower pay than my current job, and the drive is fucking long and scary! I successfully drove there one time on a day with perfect conditions, but I honestly can't see myself driving there during rush hour, when it's raining, at night, when I'm feeling really tired or anxious, etc. I know I would be wasting money taking Lyft to work every time I feel too scared, and I would be making less money to cover the cost. I don't know what to do - if I should stay at my current job that I hate but feel comfortable driving to, apply to this far away job even though it makes no logistical sense and would scare the shit out of me, or keep applying to remote jobs even though the chances of getting hired seem lower than winning the lottery at this point and might make me feel even more isolated than I already do. I feel so trapped and unhappy in my life, and it all seems to stem from anxiety. Sometimes I think of moving to a new city with better public transportation or walkability, but I have a lot of people I'm attached to here including my family, rent is astronomically high in the US, and I kind of love my home town minus the awful car dependency. I don't know. I guess this post is mostly just for me to process my thoughts and feelings, but I could also really use some words of hope and encouragement because I feel immensely depressed right now.

ZK-Wednesday Edition. Zero. Knowledge. Proofs. Yesterday, three – I repeat, 3 – ZK Protocols raced to become the first to launch a ZK-based mainnet. Matter Labs won, successfully launching ZKSync’s “Era” mainnet for public use, followed by Polygon’s ZK-EVM rollup which also went live on mainnet; and Starkware, launched Ethereum-tested ZK-proofs on the Bitcoin blockchain. How coincidentally does such a big step forward for the entire industry happen all in one day? One thing’s for sure: this new narrative is taking center stage, right now. Binance’s CZ responds to CFTC charges, and while it still remains as a civil lawsuit there are elements of a potential criminal lawsuit ahead. The same play was made on Arthur Hayes, who ended up serving jail time in house arrest – coincidentally, right before the bull run of 2021. Does history repeat itself?? Let’s find out! Major bad news hitting the press, and BNB takes a measly 5% hit. BTC held firm at $26,800. DEXs vs CEXs volume ratio has reached its ATH.

i am the hot daughter quickly becoming a problem,
for my family has become the whole of society,
and the individual can’t help but be more careful.
nothing is real until it is questioned
and nothing is questionable as long as it is resourceful,
so why is there a creature strung up between the earth and the moon?
and it is coming for your air waves, your retirement, and your body.
i am telling you that mushrooms play the long game,
it has always been about the encroachment of crabgrass,
back when the sun was closer and plants could walk,
before the corporations moved into the american lawn
and out grew the trees that scarred all hope,
barren and leaves less,
i cannot secede this mess,
the tree that bears fruit is obviously evil.
please give me some time to transition,
(i used to be a fungi)
and i will become your hot daughter problem, i swear,
we are like family here at this business,
so won’t you let down your guard?
you can casually mention your drug use around us.
the mushrooms and grass can come inside now,
the government stopped punishing us so our lives got better,
i don’t have to care about the weather,
outside my front door might as well be the universe,
and even your neighbor can call the police on you,
anybody can just do anything,
when the biggest makes the rules.

2023.03.29 07:15 NewWillinium Where in the World is Jon Snow Going? A Discussion Prompt
So this is basically a discussion prompt that I've been considering this evening.
A lot of What ifs for ASOIAF/GOTs is Jon Snow not going to the Nights Watch, or being taken from the Nights Watch, or going south, or heading east, or etcetera etcetera one way or another.
But thinking on all the ways I have seen it done in the past. . .I figured why not ask the community their own optimal ideas for Jon Snow to end up whenever and wherever on the map of the known world, and how they would get him there.
Examples Below the Cut:
-][-
The Iron Isles: After Asha Greyjoy makes a visit to Winterfell alongside Dagmar Cleft-Jaw and a personal retinue, looking for a way to reassert themselves into Theon's life and to scout out any kind of weakness within Winterfell's walls, she comes across Jon Snow in Wintertown and seeing a chance for revenge against the Starks proceeds to try and convince him to come along on an adventure. . .only to end up kidnapping him when he refuses. Long story short they make it to the Stony Shore and back to the Iron Isles.
Eddard Stark would figure out what had happened days after, and though he wished to call his banners he is convinced to send a letter to the King to seek Justice.
Robert gets mad, but is convinced by Jon Arryn and Cersei that a bastard boy is not worth a war, and so Eddard is left to deal with it alone. Concessions are made by both sides, letters are exchanged, and promises are made and sworn.
Meanwhile Jon is press-ganged into being a member of Asha's crew and brought before Balon Greyjoy. . . who delights in his heir having taken a son of the wolf, as revenge for said wolf taking his own son.
Jon Snow is treated as a trophy, part of the household and a proven member of the crew aye, but still a trophy and it is for that reason alone that Balon Greyjoy listens to his counsel.
Could probably be a Asha/Jon story, but could also spring in different directions.
Essos: I'm mostly just going to list off examples that I have seen many a time on this one; Runs away from Winterfell to become a Sellsword and gets hired onto a ship for transport at White Harbor, Is supported in his pursuit and goes with Benjen to the East, Is taken as a slave in Wintertown, Is sold to slavers by his own brothers in the Nights Watch.
The Riverlands: Squires for Ser Edmure Tully. Idea is that the family is brought to Riverrun where much to Lady Stark's consternation she has brought her husband's bastard at her father's demand, Eddard hiding a second letter from Lord Hoster that he refused her to see, where Edmure quickly takes to the broody wolf. Reasoning would be that Lord Hoster connected the dots, and convinced/blackmailed Ned into allowing this in exchange for silence and protection for the child.
Pairing: Jon Snow/Jeyne Westerling, Joy Hill, or Talisa Maegyr depending on how it develops. Perhaps betroathed to one of the Bracken daughters, someone else.
The Mountain Clans of the North: Kidnapped by Wildlings during a hunt, is saved by the Mountain Flints but finds that the Mountain passes are too snowed in to traverse through. Would end up with a more assertive and self-confidant Jon after living with these distant cousins. (Thinks. . . Yes Cousins I think? Ned's mother was a Flint if I recall right). Berserker Jon Snow is a very fun idea.
The Vale: Rebuffed by Ned regarding a betrothal between Sansa and Joffrey, Robert still demands that their houses become one . . .and comes up with a brilliant idea. . .for Robert. Have their bastards get married, and unable to reject this as well Jon is sent to the Vale to squire with Yohn Royce until he proves himself, becomes a Knight, and married Mya Stone. Rune Wolf would be a fun epitaph that I've yet to see with this kind of story. Mountain Wolf is most common I think.
This could have the interesting circumstance of Jon Snow falling unto Cersei and Tywin's radar.
The Westerlands: One auspicious evening Winterfell recieves a unexpected guest from the Westerlands, and are met with a Lord dressed in the garb of the Red Faith. Lord Alester Sarwyck has come in person to deliver a message to Lord Stark from High-Priest Benerro, regarding how the truth of Jon Snow has been revealed to them by the grace of Rh'llor and reveal to Lord Stark about the child beget by Robert Baratheon on the bastard daughter of King Aerys, and how they desire to protect Jon Snow as well.
Recently Alester Sarwyck has earned his place back in Tywin Lannister's good graces, tumultuous though that may be, and informs Lord Stark of his desire to take Jone Snow with him back to Riverspring, to be named his heir, and make Jon Snow invaluable to the one who would most likely move against him. The deal is not sealed until High-Priest Benerro himself speaks to Lord Stark through the Flames of his Solar's hearth and tells the Northern Lord about the visions they have been given regarding the past and future.
Relationships: Jon Snow/Joy Hill or Myrcella Baratheon

A trend you will note is that Jon Snow is often taken out of Winterfell by forces outside of his control or consideration. This is mostly because Jon Snow is a rather reactive character at the beginning of the series, and is unlikely to take destiny into his own hands unless pushed by outside forces that give him time and room to grow.
But perhaps that is just my interpretation for this prompt, what about the rest of y'all? Where and how would you send Jon Snow to any location in the known world?

A lot of What ifs for ASOIAF/GOTs is Jon Snow not going to the Nights Watch, or being taken from the Nights Watch, or going south, or heading east, or etcetera etcetera one way or another.
But thinking on all the ways I have seen it done in the past. . .I figured why not ask the community their own optimal ideas for Jon Snow to end up whenever and wherever on the map of the known world, and how they would get him there.
Examples Below the Cut:
-][-
The Iron Isles: After Asha Greyjoy makes a visit to Winterfell alongside Dagmar Cleft-Jaw and a personal retinue, looking for a way to reassert themselves into Theon's life and to scout out any kind of weakness within Winterfell's walls, she comes across Jon Snow in Wintertown and seeing a chance for revenge against the Starks proceeds to try and convince him to come along on an adventure. . .only to end up kidnapping him when he refuses. Long story short they make it to the Stony Shore and back to the Iron Isles.
Eddard Stark would figure out what had happened days after, and though he wished to call his banners he is convinced to send a letter to the King to seek Justice.
Robert gets mad, but is convinced by Jon Arryn and Cersei that a bastard boy is not worth a war, and so Eddard is left to deal with it alone. Concessions are made by both sides, letters are exchanged, and promises are made and sworn.

2023.03.29 07:09 ThrowRA_mademe I (22m) "didn't do anything wrong" yet she (21f) broke up with me anyway.
This happened more than six months ago but I still think about this a lot. I(22m) dated a woman(21F) for a total of not even two months before she decided to break up with, telling me I "didn't do anything wrong" and that our relationship didn't feel right to her. For context, we've been friends for something like 6 years give or take and I had feelings for her most of that time. I never made a move on her because for most of that time she identified as a lesbian so obviously the attraction was not mutual. We did go to prom together, as friends keep in mind and that was the night I knew I was in love with her.
We stayed good friends after high school, despite going to different universities. At one point, I think before we graduated high school I don't remember I did tell her how I felt, just to get it off my chest, but we moved past it pretty quick since obviously nothing could happen between us. I always felt guilty about that though, she didn't need to know that, I imagine it was only a burden for her for awhile but thankfully that didn't tank our friendship.
Fast forward to last summer, were hanging out like it is any other day, and she made a comment about not being sure of her sexuality anymore. I made a movie reference to Endgame saying "Don't do that, don't give me hope." I always made little jokes about my feelings for her, although she was under the impression I no longer had any for her, given that I would usually talk to her about any dates I'd go on or girls I was interested in. But then she says we could try going out if I wanted which came out of left field for me, had a hard time focusing on the road after that cause I was driving at the time. So yea, I got to start dating the woman of my dreams who I had just poured my heart out to my friends a month prior about how much I loved her and I "knew" I'd never be with her.
Honestly not much changed in those two months we were dating, we for sure spent more time together, held hands, hugged, I got the kiss on the cheek every once in awhile. It was honestly perfect, at least to me it was. Eventually she went off the school, her was about two and half hours away while mine was local. I visited her twice, the visits being about two weeks apart. We didn't do much, just hung out in her apartment, I kinda wished we went out more when I came but she seemed content to spend the time indoors so I didn't really argue(there was no nsfw activities).
Throughout our entire friendship and even into our relationship I always struggled to open up to her, or anyone really. I don't really like to talk about my problems, but looking back I wish I had been more open with her. Maybe it would have made a difference maybe not. Although if were going to break up either way I'm glad I kept my issues close to the chest.
About a week after I last saw her she texts me asking to video call which we ended up doing a few hours later, I was out with a bud when she texted me and then I took a nap when I got home before we called, not sure if that's relevant but you never know. Anyway we made some small talk before I hear those dreaded words, "I've been thinking a lot about our relationship." My heart immediately sinks, cause that is never a good sign that early on (we were only approaching the two month mark). She tells me our relationship doesn't feel right to her and that I did nothing wrong. Trying to hold back the tears I tell her I need to go and she says OK and then I hang up, and ball my eyes out for hours.
The following few months were the worst of my life. Life no longer felt worth living. I had resigned myself to the fact that I could never be with her before we started dating, so I was OK, I was able to live with that. But then we actually did date, and it was the happiest I have ever been in my life, and it was taken away from me. I never blamed her, I was never mad, just hurt, devastated, etc. We didn't talk for awhile after that, I only reached out because there was really bad weather in her area and I wanted to know if she was ok cause obviously I still care about her. So now we are at a point where we text once in awhile but I usually am pretty miserable when we do, not that I tell her that. Weirdly enough she thought it was a good idea to send me a selfie of her and Chewbacca at the Star Wars attraction at Disney. She knows I'm a fan of the franchise but I really didn't want to see her face given everything, not that I told her that.
I'm sure she knows things are weird between us but I don't think she realizes how I feel about this whole thing. She's always been kinda dense when it came to my feelings, her words not mine. So I imagine she honestly didn't think it was weird but I cried quite a bit seeing her face again.
But that pretty much sums up everything up until now that is noteworthy, at least I think it does. I honestly thought for the longest time that I did do something wrong but I'm not sure what that could be. I don't know if maybe I was truly to deep in the friend zone, or maybe she realized was strictly attracted to women I don't know. But I can't get her out of my head, I love her so much and I just want someone to care. None of my friends cared all that much, my brother actively made fun of me after she broke up with me, there is no one in my life to give me advice about this. She was the one person I could turn to for advice and that obviously isn't an option anymore. How can I go about finding closure? How can I move past this?

2023.03.29 06:53 OppositeShore1878 A new poem for our Perpetually Stormy Bay Area...
Since it now feels like it will never stop raining, I thought I'd rewrite the old "Sunday's Child" rhyme for Bay Area weather. Here it is:
Monday’s storm is soft and mild
Tuesday’s storm is hurricane wild
Wednesday’s storm brings hail and snow
Thursday's storm will rain and blow
Friday’s storm is just a breeze
Saturday’s storm brings down the trees
But the storm that comes on the seventh day
Will flood, and carry your car away.
Feel free to contribute your own variations in the comments. For those who don’t know the original, it’s an old rhymed saying usually called “Sunday’s Child”. Many variations, but most go something like this:
Monday's child is fair of face. Tuesday's child is full of grace. Wednesday's child is full of woe. Thursday's child has far to go. Friday's child is loving and giving. Saturday's child works hard for a living, But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

2023.03.29 06:40 Improbable_Primate The Post Singularity Bronze Age
This is me drawing some boundaries around some ideas I’ve been having and putting them all in a basic order. Anyway, this is my very, very barebones timeline of events that the religious and mythological beliefs in my setting are based off of. I finally got Mr. Potato head out of the box, now I have to put a hat and face on him.
Feel free to comment. This is still a box getting kicked around the laundry room.
In the deep past, humanity actually survived its self-made existential threats and achieved technological god hood. No one remembers if the inciting technology was AI or free energy or something truly exotic, but almost overnight human suffering became an obsolete idea. Centuries of environmental damage, thought to be our imminent doom, was reversed in decades. Hunger and poverty were eliminated and every person on Earth could live a life of leisure free from illness and disease.
Old age and death became completely optional. Many people chose to modify their forms heavily or even transcend to pure digital consciousness. These post-humans primarily chose to leave Earth and spread through out the solar system and beyond. Others uploaded their minds into the vast computational substrata that had been infused into the bedrock. The vast majority of humanity, after life times that could reach centuries or millennia, chose to die natural deaths like their ancestors, often with the caveat of recording their consciousnesses ‘just in case’.
As the population thinned on Earth, those post-humans that stayed took it upon themselves to completely rehabilitate the planet to a pre-human Pleistocene state. This was accomplished by releasing utility swarms of nanites into the atmosphere, completely saturating the environment and every living thing. As nanites slowly scrubbed all traces of humanity from the planet, the world became a de facto “internet of everything”. The post-human intelligences residing in the bedrock were able to interface with every aspect of the planet and the things on it. With the patience of immortals, they slowly guided the Earth to a completely healed state.
Satisfied with their work, many of the post-human minds wanted to experience Earth in the flesh. Nanite fabrication nodes formed into clear water springs, from which emerged the first Gods. These were post-humans in physically perfect bodies that allowed them thrive in this new Eden without impacting their hard work with physical technology. They could control their immediate environment via the “internet of everything” while also staying in contact with their fellows in the substrate. Though the simulated worlds they had existed in for Eons were paradises, none who emerged from the springs would deny that living in the flesh was intrinsically better. A few thousand Minds would live in the physical world at any given time, living however long they wished until they decided they were satisfied. This was the state of post-humanity on Earth for thousands of years.
Then one day, the physical Gods couldn’t contact their opposites in the substrate. They couldn’t connect to the nanites that controlled their environment. The internet of everything had crashed. Some of the younger Gods immediately went into a panic. They were ancient but they had never been offline, before. Without their ability to consciously control the environment or ‘summon’ a tool from the ground, these Gods were naked in the woods. They couldn’t even consciously regulate their own biological processes, anymore. When it became clear that the connection was not coming back up, there were quarrels and recriminations. The Gods formed bands and drove out those that had lost their minds or proven wantonly violent.
After the first few decades of confusion and strife, the surviving Gods had established their own communities. They weren’t helpless morons and still in possession of superhuman bodies…albeit ones they now had to be careful with. Some took to the complete reversal of fortune with zeal, living out eons forgotten escapist fantasies of starting from scratch in the woods. Hill forts abounded. Other Gods did not accept their new mortality and set themselves to discovering their loss of connection to the Underworld and the internet of everything. Some formed informal schools of thought while others decided to investigate in solitude.
Theses pneumatics discovered that they had not completely lost connection to the Pleroma. Somehow, though all direct mental communication had been lost with the network, they could still interact with it on a subconscious level. Given centuries of solitude, they devised numerous rituals and ways of entering altered mind states to make contact with at least the physical world, if not the Unseen world, itself. This gave them some broad control of weather and animal migrations. Some even claim that their opposites in the Pleroma are communicating to with them via subtle signals such as the wind blowing through trees or the flights of birds. They are often right.
Centuries passed and their numbers began to multiply. No longer able to consciously control every aspect of their own biologies, children were possible. However, the original biological modifications of the Gods’ bodies weren’t all hereditary and their descendants became more baseline human with every generation. The first Gods had begun to thin by this time, either dying to misadventure or simply deciding that they had drank their fill. By this time, the pneumatics had come the conclusion that it may be possible to reach Pleroma by entombing their bodies in crypts hewn from the bedrock substrate. The theory being that the nanites in the bedrock would absorb and assimilate the nanites in the God’s body and upload their consciousness, even if it takes centuries. They were used to waiting.
Then jump forward approximately 2500 years and you’re in the late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age of my world.

They couldn’t even consciously regulate their own biological processes, anymore. When it became clear that the connection was not coming back up, there were quarrels and recriminations. The Gods formed bands and drove out those that had lost their minds or proven wantonly violent.
After the first few decades of confusion and strife, the surviving Gods had established their own communities. They weren’t helpless morons and still in possession of superhuman bodies…albeit ones they now had to be careful with. Some took to the complete reversal of fortune with zeal, living out eons forgotten escapist fantasies of starting from scratch in the woods. Hill forts abounded. Other Gods did not accept their new mortality and set themselves to discovering their loss of connection to the Underworld and the internet of everything. Some formed informal schools of thought while others decided to investigate in solitude.
Theses pneumatics discovered that they had not completely lost connection to the Pleroma. Somehow, though all direct mental communication had been lost with the network, they could still interact with it on a subconscious level. Given centuries of solitude, they devised numerous rituals and ways of entering altered mind states to make contact with at least the physical world, if not the Unseen world, itself. This gave them some broad control of weather and animal migrations. Some even claim that their opposites in the Pleroma are communicating to with them via subtle signals such as the wind blowing through trees or the flights of birds. They are often right.
Centuries passed and their numbers began to multiply. No longer able to consciously control every aspect of their own biologies, children were possible. However, the original biological modifications of the Gods’ bodies weren’t all hereditary and their descendants became more baseline human with every generation. The first Gods had begun to thin by this time, either dying to misadventure or simply deciding that they had drank their fill. By this time, the pneumatics had come the conclusion that it may be possible to reach Pleroma by entombing their bodies in crypts hewn from the bedrock substrate. The theory being that the nanites in the bedrock would absorb and assimilate the nanites in the God’s body and upload their consciousness, even if it takes centuries. They were used to waiting.
Then jump forward approximately 2500 years and you’re in the late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age of my world.
2023.03.29 06:33 Old_Faithlessness509 Unique cheap summer fragrance
Hey guys I’m (18M) looking for a summer fragrance (ideally very hot weather 90-120 degrees) that’s unique and under $30. It can be inspired by more popular fragrances but I don’t really want something that’s a straight up clone. In my fragrancebuy.ca cart I have lattafa qaed al fursan, rasasi al wisam day, lattafa ejaazi intensive silver, and Ajmal evoke gold. I already have afnan turathi blue. I think a hot weather fragrance that isn’t primarily citrus or pineapple would round this out pretty well, especially since I live in the phoenix area in AZ. Also, I would appreciate it if you could give me your opinions on what I have in my cart.

2023.03.29 06:27 baxyofh4rd "Secret ability" concept
This one might be a concept unfamiliar to you, so I'll provide 1 film and 1 show that I think fit it best.
We're not treated to a complex list of characters or lore, nor are we treated to chases, hunts, and fights (an example of this would be Kimetsu No Yaiba - although the plot of the main character's sister turning into a demon seems intriguing, it just was too complex to me and the traditional-ish story didn't fit my style); just focus on the main characters, their abilities, and their lives. Oh yeah, and they have a more urban setting, which means cities, not villages.
So now that you understand what the secret ability concept is, I was wondering if you could recommend some movies/series with it. Just make sure to note the plot for each one.

- SPY X FAMILY: For a mission, a spy forms a fake family, unknowingly "marrying" an assassin and adopting a telepath (they would later adopt a dog that can read the future). The spy and assassin are unaware of the others' abilities (while the telepath is pretty much aware of them).
- Weathering With You: A runaway boy meets a girl with the ability to change the weather.

2023.03.29 06:22 creativeNZ 32 [M4F]New Zealand/Online -Looking for chats where we can really get to know each other and share everything.
I'm looking for women who want to talk most days. I'm sick of people who message a few sentences then they delete their account and I never hear from them again. I want people who can hold a conversation and are not afraid to be vulnerable.
I live in Wellington New Zealand, I love movies, going on adventures, I like walking in nature and reading, I enjoy travelling and I have recently started photography. I love Marvel movies, with Iron Man being my all time favourite.
I want someone who we can talk about our days, hope, challenges and life in general. Ideally I am looking for people that we can share deeper things, not just what was the weather like! Maybe we can share things with each other we can't share with others.
If we don't share the same interests that is more than okay, I like getting to know people who are not the same as me.
Ideally, I am looking for women 22-42, I'm open to women from anywhere in the world. Looks/body shape... is not important to me.

2023.03.29 06:17 sonnykulu Advice on buying used vs new Model 3 from Tesla
Apologies in advance if this is placed in the wrong subreddit or is redundant.
I am in the market for a new car, and interested in purchasing a Model 3. I am tempted by the thought of purchasing from Tesla directly, mostly because of the extended additional 1 year of warranty they offer, in addition to just the overall convenience.
Here are a few questions I had:

Here are a few questions I had:
- Warranty periods: How influential should the warranty period in the purchasing decision? For example, a used 2019 at $31K vs a used 2022 at $40K? Is it worth the premium?
- Standard vs Long Range: I think assuming minimal battery degradation, anything above 200 miles would be sufficient, but I'm not sure how to account for degradation over time, or how weather can influence day-to-day ranges.
- Heat pump: I have read the heat pump are only available in models 2021 and newer. I live in California where the temperature is moderate year-round. Should I consider this more of a "nice to have" but not completely necessary?
- Anything else I am not thinking of?
2023.03.29 06:14 mmayor114 Full list of differences between the original cut of "Exodus, Part 2" only available on the Region 1 DVD and the 2-episode cut featured everywhere else
For all of the Lost season finales, there exists an original cut where the finale plays as one long double-length episode and then there is a version that was edited likely primarily for the purpose of reruns where it is split into two normal length episodes. The 2-episode version typically ends up with some material cut for time. I've previously made posts detailing the differences between the two versions of "The Incident" and "Live Together, Die Alone". I bought a Region 1 copy of the Season 1 DVD so that I could view the original cut of "Exodus, Part 2". Every other source for this episode, including the DVD releases outside Region 1 and all releases of the blu-ray, contains the 2-episode version, typically listed as "Exodus, Part 2" and "Exodus, Part 3". Below are the changes made in the 2-episode version.
The edits for "Exodus, Part 2" are considerably more minor than those made for "Live Together, Die Alone" and "The Incident" and mostly consist of the trimming of a shot by a second or two. And there's even several instances of the 2-episode version containing (marginally) more footage.
Exodus, Part 2
0:00 - First half of Previously on Lost missing
4:31 - Title appears earlier, right after Hurley says he will stay outside with Arzt. In the original it follows the scene of Arzt blowing up. There is also a shot of the Black Rock’s stern added as a button to transition to the title. Score is slightly altered to accommodate. The shot of Kate and Jack entering the Black Rock after the title is a different take than the one in the original version as it is a wider shot and Jack glances up at the ship before entering.
5:02 - 1-2 seconds removed from the beginning of the shot of Locke reaching the upper level of the Black Rock.
30:56 - In the Michael flashback, after he says “It was never part of the plan” there is an extra second at the end of the wide shot in the 2-episode cut.
42:01 - Additional 5-second reaction shot of Jack immediately after Hurley says “Whoever named this place Dark Territory? Genius.” In the original it cuts directly to Kate.
42:17 - Scene is interrupted by episode ending and “To Be Continued” title card.
Exodus, Part 2, Part 2 Exodus, Part 3
0:00 - New Previously on Lost segment
3:06 - Title inserted into act break after the Smoke Monster hovers over Locke.
8:13 - The reaction shot of Claire after Sun says “Charlie will bring your baby back.” is a second longer in the original version.
8:15 - There is a brief shot of Sayid running through the jungle missing. In the original it goes Sayid running -> Charlie running -> Sayid running -> Charlie running -> Sayid and Charlie. The first shot in this sequence is missing.
9:31 - After Sayid says “Remove the towel and tilt your head back.” there is a shot missing of Charlie hesitating and a reverse shot of Sayid repeating “Remove the towel!” The dialogue is still the same so weirdly Sayid shouts “Remove the towel!” from offscreen after Charlie has already started to move it away from his face.
15:57 - After Hurley asks Kate if the number 23 means anything to her, there’s 1-2 seconds missing of her reaction shot before she responds.
19:20-24:30 - The scene where the raft crew first gets a blip on the radar is moved (presumably in order to change the timing of the act break).

2023.03.29 06:07 Material_Agency3837 Using Barricade R-Wrap on the inside of the house?
Not sure if this is the correct subreddit since I’m not a professional. If it’s not could someone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
So a quick backstory to why I think it’s a good idea and please tell me if I’m wrong and why.
I started construction on the house and found moisture problems causing mold and rot in the house and although I’m going to address that I can’t do it at the present moment as I live in Ohio and the weather isn’t cooperating.
What I did do is remove all the insulation and drywall from that affected wall and fixed what I could until I can remove all the siding and replace the rotted wood and fix the affected area correctly this spring.
Getting to the meat and potatoes here I found cheap Barricade R-Wrap www.barricadebp.com from some auction sites and was plan on using it on the interior and exterior of the walls since I have enough and the price was right. My though it it will give me more R value and hopefully keep the mold off of my new walls. I did insulate the walls and will be replacing the insulation again once I do the exterior.
Now silly me I already have the walls wrapped and ready for drywall when I talked to a friend and he said his brother had something similar and the research he did says it’s a bad idea.
I started to do some research and the only thing I can find it “Tyvek” brand. The research I’ve done says that it’s an absolute NO with Tyvek brand because it’s like Gortex and it slows moisture to wick one direction only. However I can’t seem to find anything on Barricade. I’d also like to add that Barricade and Tyvek are completely different materials. Tyvek is more of a plastic and Barricade is more of a mesh.
Now with all of that being said I’ve done a quick search and find that you can in fact use plastic on the interior of the walls and it’s perfectly fine. Now how is it that plastic is okay? Plastic doesn’t breathe at all, aside from the holes you put in it from the staples and screws. Now Barricade would breathe and should allow moisture to dissipate.
I tried calling Barricade directly and was referred to someone only to get a voicemail with the mailbox full. So I’m asking for some help.
Do I leave the Barricade R-Wrap up inside and drywall? Do I put plastic over the Barricade R-Wrap and then drywall? Do I remove the barricade R-Wrap and install plastic and drywall? Do I remove the Barricade R-Wrap and just put up drywall like normal and hope the mold doesn’t spread or contaminate my new drywall? Do I buy Greenboard and do that wall in mold resistant drywall?
I have mold everywhere it seems, the more I do the more I find and I am in the process of fixing the causes and preventing it from spreading as I remove and kill what I can. Information on mold removal, prevention and methods also welcome.
Also keep in mind that since I’m trying to get more R Value in my build I was going to do this throughout the house.
What solution or combination should I use?
