This is probably a simple question, but every time I adjust my preferences [i.e., sound] on DeSmuME - there is no way to save said preferences, and they won't take effect. I used to not have this issue, and I am unaware of how to properly save my preferences/settings on DeSmuME!
Any help is appreciated, thank you!! :]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to understand the order in which, and generally how, use this set for skincare. I have never really had a proper skincare routine apart of moisturiser and cleanser, so I’m really lost in all these terms. Can someone help me please?

• Sulwhasoo Essential Comfort Balancing Water
• Sulwhasoo First Care Acrivating Serum
• Sulwhasoo Essential Comfort Balancing Emulsion
• Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream Ex
• Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum
• Sulwhasoo Essential Firming Cream Ex
• Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Rescue Ampoule

I know some of these are not complimenting, but duplicating each other. And not gonna lie, it all sounds like a chemistry class to me

I am really curious if anyone else’s spouse does this. We have been together 20 years and married coming up on 17.
At this point our sex life varies from several times a day to once every 10 days. This is based normally on how tired he is after working. We always go to bed together and he falls asleep almost right away and I tend to fall asleep an hour or so later after reading.
Now to the point. The longer it has been since we have had sex the greater the odds he will get sexual in his sleep. He will touch me, sometimes say things sexual ( normally not something he will usually say) and occasionally have sex with me while completely asleep. He used to sleep walk and talk when he was a kid. He still will sleep talk. Stress tends to effect.
It can be very frustrating since he will touch me for a bit, then stop and then start again. Sometimes he will actually wake up, realize what he was doing and ask if I want to continue. It started happening in the first few years of our marriage but very rarely ( every few years rare). Now it can happen a couple a times a week. Thank you for reading.

So I got this idea in my head of rally cars racing through a course in a parking lot marked by cones.
I thought that was a cool idea, so I made a 2:00 map in TM2020 designed to look like you're racing through a parking lot. There are street lamps every couple of blocks, and you go from the start to the finish, collecting every checkpoint at every street lamp.
I'm currently grinding this track for a GPS and Author time, and my best is 2:16. If anyone would be willing to recreate my track in TMNF and create a TAS to see just how far I could push this, that'd be really cool.
PS: The map is designed so you need to do a little bit of pathfinding, so whatever path you use is fine as long as you don't use quintuple nose-bugs lol.
The attached photos are of the track, and the intended route if you need it.

I am at a crossroads and could use advice from oldemore experienced redditors. I(29F) have been with my bf(M33) for 5 years.
My bf wants to propose this year. This is what many of us in this group dream for but, instead of excited, I am panicked. He is a good man and partner. He takes care of me, supports me, and loves me. I know he will be a great father. The problem is, I don't know how much we have in common anymore. He has gotten so serious, and his focus in life is work and saving money for the future. He hardly does anything else. I think these things are important but they have been happening at the expense of our joy in the present lately.
My solution up to this point has been live and let live. I go out with my other friends, giving him the option to join or not. He nearly always declines, and it makes me sad to always explain to them that he decided not to come. I used to travel without him but, now that we're getting more serious about finances and savings, I feel trapped because I know he thinks we can't afford it. We are not paycheck to paycheck by any means, but he is a complete saver and I am more a spender who is ok waiting a few extra months to reach a savings goal if it means having an experience I'll remember for a lifetime.
The finances and social mismatch are the thing giving me the most doubt, but in general I think he is more traditional than I am. His fashion sense and overall lifestyle is more conservative. This wasn't always such a mismatch but I think he has become more reserved, introverted, and set in his ways over the years we've been together. I, on the other hand, am still a social butterfly who loves going out and doing things.
To be clear, I'm not going out clubbing like I'm still 19 or anything like that. My friends are all around 30 as well, and we go to things like trivia nights, dinners in someone's garden with wine, concerts, wine tasting, salsa dance nights, etc. Age-appropriate "going out" activities, in my opinion. Most of my friends are also in committed relationships, too.
I could really use some non-biased advice on if these are things that will matter in a marriage. I know we won't be young forever and when kids are involved life becomes a lot more serious. But I hope that there would still be some room for fun with your partner as you grow old together. Am I a fool to throw away a reliable, consistent man because I'm not excited or stimulated by our relationship anymore? Or are we two different people, and he'd be happier with a wallflower wife and I should go find a more extroverted and spontaneous man? What questions should I be answering to determine if we are right for each other?

Hi all,
To preface, i'm not a DNS expert (as you will clearly see - or networking for that matter). Would greatly appreciate constructive ideas/comments/schema with respect to how I should go about setting up domain resolution. I have looked into each of these area to some depth or another so can probably handle most of the implementation needed. However, the coordination of each of these is confusing me (only more so after a half-dozen YouTube videos).
Goal: use my domain.com dn (registered via DNS @ Cloudflare) to access local resources, using nginx to issue SSL certificates (via Let's Encrypt & Cloudflare API). e.g., nas.domain.com will return locally-resolvable resource. I am not interested in using anything externally with this domain either - not port opening, etc. is needed (using VPN for everything).
Setup:
- Modem/Router PfSense Proxmox hosted VMs (PfSense, Docker, Nginx as docker container)
- PfSense in DNS Resolver mode. Currently using host overrides for internal services, but would like to use my purchased domain for internal resolution.
- Docker VM runs Nginx PM where I have Let'sEncrypt linked with my Cloudflare account to issue SSL for internal-only resources.
---
My source links in Nginx are inoperable and resolve to "server not found" message - which is what sent me on this rabbit hole to try to fix it and realized maybe im not even setting up in a useful manner.
I've seen recently there is some debate whether A Name in Cloudflare (being publicly accessible information) is not secure. Yes it only gives internal IPs which are nearly useless unless on my internal network, but would still prefer they're not out there unless truly need be.
Any suggestions as to how I should go about this would be much appreciated - thanks!

I downloaded bgmi after 3 years and am using Bluetooth earbuds but when i open my mic, the sound shifts from my earbuds to phone's speaker. How do i fix this?

I've tried many ways to make my fps go up but nothing works. It used to go up to like 60 to 120 (maybe even more but I don't want to make an estimate) Even with optifine it's still the same and yet there is no difference. I also have a very good system so I see no reason for it to just up to 40 fps. If anyone can help please tell me how to fix this🙏.

Not sure I can really articulate my feelings the way I'd like to, but I just need to get this off my chest. I'll apologize in advance because being off T (medical issues) has definitely brought back the disconnect in my brain and made it harder for me to string together all the right words to express what I mean.
Do you guys ever just get tired? Do you ever stop and think about how life would be so much easier if you could just live comfortably as your assigned sex? I was just starting to pass when I had to stop my transition due to a health scare. I was just shy of my 2 yr mark, and I've now spent several months watching myself physically and mentally regress into the state I was previously in. Worse, in some aspects.
I'm so tired of peoples' assumptions that I'm a lesbian. I've dealt with that virtually my entire life. I'm really tired of the condescending looks from men who ooze the "try all you want but you'll never be one of us" arrogance. Like they know I'm fake. A cheap knockoff. My fear of being in this very state of "in between" is what kept me from transition until my 30's. Because I was afraid I'd never be authentic enough. I've had a male identity since infancy. There's no getting away from that. But sometimes I find myself reverting back to this mindset of "maybe you're better off just tolerating being female because it'd be so much easier than the constant judgment."
Case and point, after a month or so of being off T, the treatment of my peers at work did a complete 180. I know my face had softened by then, and I let my hair go a little longer between cuts specifically to avoid the lesbian look again... Incredibly, my boss and co-workers were suddenly comfortable around me. I wasn't ostracized or excluded anymore. Not looked at or talked about like I was a freak as they did prior (even though I never announced being trans, my short hair, clothing, and certainly my slowly dropping voice led them to believe they had it figured out.) I won't even start on the way my mother makes it so obvious how relieved she is that "her daughter is coming back."
It all just hurts so much. I used to tell myself that I must be mentally strong to have handled these feelings and my identity all my life without ending up in a straight jacket somewhere. Sometimes I wonder if that's why I have this coping mechanism... if that's even what it is. Like if my brain couldn't find a way to process existing as a repressed male who was afab, I'd have gone crazy by now.
Lately I've been asking myself if I'm really trans, which feels so stupid to me, yet it's the only way I can rationalize my panic after coming off T, knowing I was going to eventually look female again. Trying to date a cis man and play the cis woman role... It makes me mentally sick, but the peace I feel in flying under the radar and just being seen as a normal, straight person almost... almost makes it worth it. But it's like a slow poison. After enough time, I feel physically ill and revolted and just want to be MYSELF. Because that never changes. Even when playing the role of female, I'm nothing more than a boy pretending to be a girl. This distinction is what has kept me rooted in my identity. But the anxiety of how I'm treated keeps me hanging in limbo. I go back and forth, when one makes me sick enough, I revert to the safety and relief of the other.
I feel better when I'm totally alone with my thoughts. I know who I am without any "noise" but unfortunately to live and function in the world at large, that noise is just a part of it. While I consider myself a strong-willed person, it's amazing how much it can erode your sense of self. When I'm alone with no one but myself, I'm completely authentic. I know who I am, what I want, and what makes me happy. It makes me want to fix my health problems, restart T, and finally get the top surgery I've wanted since 9 years old. To live as the man I've always been. It's only when I get around others and the outside pressures that I feel like maybe I'd be better off just finishing out this life pretending to be the girl I was physically born as. I know I shouldn't care what others think of me, but I just do. And the stress of it is debilitating.
TLDR: FTM. Social pressure and how I was treated during transition makes me wonder sometimes if I'd be better off just tolerating living my life as a female, especially since health issues forced me off T. But every time I attempt it, I fail and just get more depressed.

I gave them aliases. They all sucked.
“Born Yesterday” A social worker I talked to in middle school. She wanted to mediate a conversation between me and my sociopath mom. She asked if that's what I needed in order to be able to open up. It could have been a matter of them acknowledging signs of abuse but assuming my mother was safe. Or they just victim blamed and pathologized me and assumed my parents were well-meaning. Either way, I sabotaged having to see her again by telling my mom they were asking all sorts of questions at school, and she came in to complain. Never saw her again. The trauma hit me hard later, thinking I lost a chance to get rescued.
“Getting my credentials” A lady I talked to only once, some months later. She didn't have any credentials. She let my mother cry crocodile tears and play the victim. My mom was practically begging me not to lay a hand on her ever again or she would pack her bags. That's kind of a cheap way to talk about abuse, but my mother was a sociopath playing games. I started crying hysterically and went mute throughout. I never saw the lady after that one “intervention”.
“Don't even say anything” A psychiatrist who based his assessment only on what my mother had to say. I was mute throughout everything and my mother was denying it was a lifelong issue. This doctor asked questions and answered them himself, never looking up from his papers. He confirmed my mother's suspicions that I essentially refused to talk to people, and labeled me Avoidant Personality. I was just shunned socially, mute, and was living in isolation, locked in a room due to abuse.
Those first two I met in the US, the rest in Latin America.
“Latin Dr. Mengele” Many years later, I met this psychiatrist who oversaw operations at a therapy cult. He was a pervert, gaslighter, abuser, and enabler of horrible circumstances for the patients. We had every type of abuse you can think of.
"Budding Cult Leaders" Two psychologists supporting the psychiatrist and the rest of the show at the rehab cult. Both seemed narcissistic. Both acted spiritually superior but played dumb when it came to the horror show they were enabling.
"Poptart Mengele" A psychiatrist at another instance where I was institutionalized. She dressed a lot like a popular Latin pop star (really loud and young), she had adult braces at around 40. The day I arrived here, the other doctor, Latin Mengele, was present. I can't even with this other experience. The hospital was run by clowns. Awful, pretentious, delusional narcissists.
"Horror Movie Asylum Keepers" The staff at the hospital I was in. A lot were relatively normal. Overwhelmingly, they were horrible people. Too much stuff happened, and I don't want to go into details. Toxic work environments refine their staff and culture in ways you should never. You end up with “innocents” who enable horrors or plain sociopaths running the show.
"Dipshit Whisperer" The first person I really talked to trying to deal with lifelong complex trauma. She was abusive. Most of the time, she heavily sympathized with other abusers in my life. She hid behind them and used them as a shield and favorite weapon to gaslight me.
"Let me handle it” I tried to stop seeing Narc Whisperer and jump ship. This guy was worse and a huge bigot. He hated my guts. One of the first clues that he was shady was how he presented himself on a first meeting as my newly anointed savior. I immediately thought it was a red flag. I talked about childhood mental health issues and how they affected immigration and school performance. He was disparaging about my intelligence, past school performance, my status as an immigrant, and he was insensitive, to put it mildly, about everything else.
“The one I just didn't click with” I saw another lady who seemed uncomfortable with me and vaguely disbelieving. She was the nicest of all.
“Trauma Uninformed” This lady thought what I had to say about trauma was unscientific, but also said she agreed I had CPTSD. She just seemed like the type to not recognize CPTSD, but was willing to compromise for the money.
“Psicologx” This lady was a hipster who overused gender inclusive language in her socials. She has a big online presence. She came across as volatile and passive-aggressive, with a really nasty ring to her slights. I almost didn't go back after the first time I saw her, based on instinct and how horrible the first conversation was. She texted me a test that assessed for personality disorders before I made up my mind to leave. I went back, probably subconsciously, to defend myself. We had an awful second conversation. She was one upping me, sensitive to my know-it-all attitude when it came to my experiences. It's a defense mechanism. Or she was trying to hit a nerve by using my own words against me. The topic of suicide was brought up and she disbelieved my story. I was deeply depressed in my teens, with a passive desire to “leave” my problems and life. I said my life got better the longer I was not a child in total vulnerability to an awful environment. She said my story didn't fit what she knew, and it couldn't be like I said.
I gave up on finding someone after this, and I needed to save money, so it was a mild blessing in disguise. I've felt like an awful person, a faker, and the actual problem for a long time. I'm trying to get over that, so I wrote this.

I do not have the time to compile the footage or the knowledge to use proper terminology for what this sort of footage is called...
But Fox Footy, the creative advertising juggernaut that they are, has directed every coach while shooting their press footage to be seated with a bunch of notes, then to throw the notes into the air and then take an authoritative stance such as standing with their arms crossed.
This sort of footage is used for stuff like when AFL 360 goes to ad break and says 'next up is Chris Scott at the desk' or something like that. It is always accompanied by footage of the coach throwing paper. For players this footage usually depicts something like handballing or holding the ball out like Michael Jordan.
It makes for strange vision to see every coach perform this act. I struggle to understand how they landed on this particular idea for the establishing shot for a coach's media appearance. Surely there are more authentic human actions they could be captured doing...?
It reminds me of the infamous Teenager photoshoot.

I was given this laptop by a friend. I installed Windows and found that I had no wifi. So I opened it up, and see that the antenna are broken. If I tape the antenna down, I get a 2-3 bar signal. But as the laptop heats up, the tape unsticks itself and I lose connection.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have a fine point soldering iron... My soldering skills are OK. But would only use them as a last resort.
Laptop is an HP elitebook x360 1030 g2 i7 v pro

• Might get hate for this. Don’t care. I really liked 7a overall. It is not nearly as boring or monotone or weirdly over optimistic as season 5 was. It is definitely not perfect. Has glaring issues I will mention below. But the positives redeem it for me and make it watchable and entertaining.
  
• Love the atmosphere. The look of the show. But damn if the logistics aren’t confusing as hell and non-consistent.
  
• The stakes are deflated in stupid ways in big scenes, including the release of the warhead chemicals in 7x7, and the sudden appearance and disappearance of Walker threats from shot to shot. Poor camerawork and editing there.
  
• Personal favorites in 7a: Althea, Dwight, Alicia, (kind of) Victor
  
• Alicia’s infection situation and storyline is so unreasonably good. Loving what I see so far.
  
• I don’t care what any of you say. Al’s story was great start to finish—especially if she doesn’t appear in season 8. Was the camera and tape stuff a bit annoying in 4 and some of 5? Absolutely. But the showrunners used that to their storytelling advantage in 6 and 7. Isabelle and the CRM worked wonders on her story. It paid off big time here. I got so giddy seeing episodes concerning her and potentially Isabelle from 5 through 7. It was such a cute and well developed story. 7x6 was a beautiful ending to a queer love story in this universe and a great montage of Al’s story, and it addressed the tape situation pretty adequately. I’m impressed.
  
• Victor is confusing me big time in this season. Decent performances… but firstly, why old Victor now? And second… isn’t Victor gay? Wtf is up with this Alicia love stuff? Victor always compelled me as this cool, mysterious, out for himself wild card who also happened to have once had a sweet, gay love story. But now it’s like his personality is simping for Alicia while trying to be a wild card. If he’s Bi, cool. But this is just confusing and not well set up imo.
  
• Alicia is killing it. LOVED her two ending episodes in 7a. Easily my favorite performance so far. Looking forward to 7b. Also, I really really liked John D Sr’s episode, despite how cheesy and unrealistic parts of it were.
  
• Why can’t Grace just die LMAO. I’m sorry, but she frustrates me in 7. She is so inconsistent, not written well, and her dialogue is atrocious. A far cry from seasons 5 and (kind of) 6. Morgan is a bit frustrating too, because he still can’t seem to decide if he loves her or not. Their relationship just feels completely nonsensical and has no chemistry in 7a. I don’t know what happened. They were a favorite part of my watching of 5b and 6b.
  
• Dwight and Sherry’s story is interesting here lol. Again. Super cheesy and the inconsistent logistics don’t help. But I like the concept, the emotion, their chemistry, performances, and interactions with other characters. Dwight in particular moved me in his episodes. I just wish he and Al got to interact one last time 😭 they were such a wonderful part of season 6 to me.
  

I know I’m definitely in the minority but I can’t stand any kind of TV. I don’t have the energy or attention span to invest in new series, I hate the sound of the TV being on, I hate how loud the ads are, I hate how you just have to sit there and do nothing, I truly just hate it lol. I use it purely as a social activity when I have someone over and even if it looks like I’m watching and paying attention, I am absorbing absolutely nothing. I could be watching the Roku home screen and it would be the same experience as watching a show.
The only times I use it are to watch reruns of the same 2 shows I watch over and over, and even then I glaze over because I already know what happens.
I think the main issue is that it’s just too much of a passive activity for me and I can’t focus on anything if the TV is on so my poor boyfriend is always getting told to turn the tv down lol. Is this an autism thing? I think loud sounds and noises are my biggest sensory issues so it kinda makes sense. I love absolute silence (which sucks because it is so rare)

Here is a list the teams selected the least if you are stuck between picking different matchups. I would advise you to only use this list as a tiebreaker between close matches. I do not recommend using this list if you believe the matchup will be a blowout.
Tigers, and Athletics with 1 game each.

Is it just me or does this read as if multiple separate units could use this ability during your opponent's shooting phase (ie an attack bike and an invader ATV both separately triggering this when a unit near them is targeted).

Outrider Escort: Once per turn, in your opponent’s Shooting phase, when a friendly Adeptus Astartes Mounted unit within 6" of this unit is selected as the target of an attack, this unit can use this ability. If it does, after that enemy unit has finished making its attacks, this unit can shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but when resolving those attacks it can only target that enemy unit (and only if it is an eligible target).

Look at the Rites of Battle ability for comparison:

Once per battle round, one unit from your army with this ability can be targeted by a Stratagem for 0CP, even if another unit from your army has already been targeted by that Stratagem this phase.

Based on how this is worded could you set up your units in your movement/deployment phase to trigger this ability multiple times if you set everything up properly within the 6inch range?
