I know this gets asked a lot… but I don’t know what else to do or where else to vent. So my first beta was 9 days after my transfer and it was 143. Today is 11 days and I went up to 247. 72% increase.. I am quite upset. My Dr isn’t, he increased my dose of duphaston and has asked me to go in tomorrow for my intralipids infusion..but that’s about it. My husband is very confident that we are going to be ok but I am so so upset. Has anyone else has any luck with similar numbers? Oh and I am 41, I have endometriosis, we down regulated prior to transfer and this is our only embryo ❤️

Exam conducts in the regional center in every state. The board can fix months for an exam, like January, February, March, June, July, August, and September. You can choose any month based on your choice. Board offers the exam date under months. You may also select exam dates depending on your wish. If candidates fail in some subjects in class 10 and 12, they switch to transfer of credit. In that manner, you will have a minimum of three subjects in the exam. Applicants also gather information regarding the NIOS on demand result from the official portal.

Demographics:

• Gender: AFAB nonbinary (didn't directly mention this in my UC app)
• Race/Ethnicity: SE Asian
• Residence: Socal
• Income bracket: Low enough to qualify for Blue & Gold Plan
• Type of School: CCC
• Hooks: LGBT+?, neurodivergent? (both mentioned in UC app)

Intended Major(s):
Japanese (+Cognitive Science)
GPA and Rank:
3.93; I think I'm in top 10% but idk if that really matters
Coursework:

• AP Japanese (5), AP Psych (3, got really lazy lmao). Took both of them senior year of HS
• In terms of major prep, I could only take the first half of Intermediate Japanese since it's the highest my community college offers (In other words, I only took one Japanese class at my college)
• Certified for IGETC completion

Awards:

• Presidential's Honor List - Fall 2021 (lol)

Extracurriculars:
(Main part I'm nervous about since they're pretty weak)

• Volunteer at library (~40 hrs at time of submission)
• Volunteer at community table (~30 hrs at time of submission)
• Personal translating project, didn't publicly post
• Transfer prep program

Essays:
UC essays were like a 7.5/10 I guess. English professor from Spring 2022 helped me edit and he said they were really solid, but I thought they were mid because I had no formal ECs to back them up and my writing skills aren't the greatest. Also one of my essays was about my neurodivergency which is probably a red flag lmao
Schools:
UCLA, UCI, UCSB, Berkeley (top choice). Really regret putting my TAG to UCSB instead of UCI/UCD but it is what it is.
Got conditional acceptance to CSUF but I really don't want to go there.
Additional Info:
I spent so much time on my PIQs that I pretty much neglected the rest of my app, and as a result, I didn't have a lot of time to polish out my EC + additional comment sections, which might screw up my chances. Looking back, I can see some holes/flaws in them (+ my app as a whole), which probably isn't a good sign.
​
Thank you in advance! Best of luck to those to applied for UCs next month 🫡
[EDIT: wording + bit more info]

As you might know, the Seattle Seahawks lost against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX after Russell Wilson threw an interception on the one yard line to Malcolm Butler.
It's often said that had the Seahawks ran the ball instead, they would've won. This (along with other potential scenarios that could've played out) made me wonder how different Russell Wilson's stats would've been.
So I looked into what those stats would've been.

Where Russell Wilson's Super Bowl XLIX Performance Ranks

I looked at the Super Bowl leaderboards on Pro Football Reference where Russell Wilson has a high ranking (or could've had a high ranking). For a quick and easy reference so that clicking back and forth isn't needed, here are the relevant leaderboards:
Game, Yards Per Attempt

1. Terry Bradshaw, 14.7
2. Jim McMahon, 12.8
3. Jim Plunkett, 12.4
4. Matt Ryan, 12.3
5. Russell Wilson, 11.8
6. Doug Williams, 11.7
7. John Elway, 11.6
8. Bart Starr, 10.9
9. Colin Kaepernick, 10.8
10. Phil Simms, 10.7

Game, Passer Rating

1. Phil Simms, 150.9
2. Joe Montana, 147.6
3. Jim Plunkett, 145
4. Matt Ryan, 144.1
5. Troy Aikman, 140.7
6. Steve Young, 134.8
7. Patrick Mahomes, 131.8
8. Doug Williams, 127.9
9. Joe Montana, 127.2
10. Tom Brady, 125.8

Russell Wilson's Super Bowl XLIX Stats For Different Scenarios After Getting to 2nd & Goal at the End of the Game (and Where They Would've Ranked)

I adjusted Russell Wilson's stats accordingly and entered them into the passer rating calculator from nfeloapp.com.
​
Bold = Highest out of data set
(x) = Rank for that category out of all Super Bowl passing performances (the rank isn't listed if it's outside the top ten)
Note for the top row (aka what happened in real life): The leaderboard on Pro Football Reference lists the yards per attempt as 11.8 while the passer rating calculator from nfeloapp.com says it's 11.7 because they round differently. Throughout the table where there's 247 yards on 21 attempts, I listed 11.8 as the yards per attempt.
For the scenarios where Russell Wilson has 12.3 yards per attempt, he ranks above Matt Ryan because when expanded more, Wilson has 12.35 compared to Ryan's 12.348.
For the scenarios where Russell Wilson has 10.7 yards per attempt, he ranks above Phil Simms because when expanded more, Wilson has at least 10.74 compared to Simms' 10.72.

Hi there, parent here…
My student applied to a few UC’s but hasn’t heard anything from UCSD yet. She was a dual-enrollment student who graduated HS early and has continued enrollment in community college and her counselor still advised her to apply to universities as a freshman. Her portal updated with a notification from UCSD regarding needing transcripts for transferring, she sent them an email and and it was waived…she thinks maybe she somehow got switched to a transfer applicant?? Just wondering if anyone has any insight. According to the website she still has until the end of the month to hear if she got accepted as a freshman.

For context I goto a US college ranked around 35-40th place nationally and has quite a large international student body. I (an international student) am friend with two or three international students and whenever I study with them, they always shit on my school (why do these people around look so happy when they only get into a school like this/you know if we graduate from a school like this we won't be able to get a job). I am already in severe depression and have regular su*cidal ideations. I was wondering maybe I should just leave myself alone next time?
I already hate myself enough for getting into a shit school like this one and finally moved on after realizing that I am unqualified for better schools (I am rising junior so almost impossible to transfer), but them shitting on my school like this made me fell back to relapse. I do med and therapy from my school and just do posting and SH like this as stress relieving method.
For context I don't really care about the college I goto now cause there's around an 80% chance for me throwaway life post graduation (I used to care a lot, then my dad would be like then why don't you listen to me when writing your application, stop whining about your school's ranking it's good enough whatsoever me and mom has accepted it so move on, if you keep on whining I wouldn't pay your tuition because you r making me look bad), but I just want to somewhat enjoy my time here and get a diploma so that my parents aren't wasting their money. Any advices? When I tell the friends that it makes me uncomfortable when they say that they don't really seemed to care? I have a few domestic friends but because of cultural differences sometimes it's hard too?

Hello all. I will type this out in bullet form. If more info is needed, please ask and I will provide:
- Hired as full time employee at X company in January 2019.- Transferred into several different departments over time (growth opportunities). - On March 17th 2023, I submitted (emailed) my letter of resignation to the manager of the specific department I was working in, effective March 22nd, 2023. (short notice, I know, but he was aware that I was actively job hunting, even used him as a reference. Also aware that if I given the offer letter, I was not going to refuse the offer and would start whenever they requested me to start). - March 20th, 2023 (while at work): received a phone call from my now former manager inquiring about my resignation. Informed him I was resigning from my full time position in his department but will continue with X Company on a part time basis in the general employee pool. - Manager proceeded to berate me (employees in his office reached out o ask if I was okay as they all heard him while on the phone with me) for 16 whole minutes (screen shot of phone call with duration) then advised that verbatim, "this is very unprofessional & rude of you. Because you did not provide 2 weeks notice, legally I am required to submit a 'letter of separation' to HR, effective March 21st 2023, at End Of Day. Think of how this will look on your record. You are leaving us high and dry." - I did not know what a LoS was, he reiterated, it was a letter on my HR file because I did not submit the legally required 2 weeks notice of resignation. - He advised to submit my department provided equipment to the departments office (located in another city), and to submit the general employee pool equipment, to Head Office (different city).- I advised that I would submit department provided equipment, however I was not submitting general employee pool equipment as I was staying on part time. Phone call ended. - March 22, 2023: While at work, received an email advising all my access levels were pulled. Contacted former manager and he stated that approximately 99% of my access levels were pulled, with the remaining 1% remaining until end of day (needed to submit reports and sign out at end of day). - March 23, 2023: After googling what a Letter of Separation was and learning I was terminated, reached out to former manager inquiring about receiving a copy of Letter of Separation. He replied with HR CC'd in email, advising that I will be paid out for everything on my final cheque. Was told to redirect all inquiries to HR moving forward. - I have called and emailed HR multiple times, no responses.- March 28, 2023: remaining 1% of access levels revoked. Email access revoked. Employee portal access revoked. Called Head Office and attempted to inquire. Was advised "that employee number and name provided does not exist in our database."
Now the issue is:
I never quit the company, and have always been full time (no matter the department). I resigned from my full time role in the department, as per my very specifically worded letter of resignation. They have not paid me for my worked hours (Sunday March 19 2023 to Tuesday March 21, 2023). They have not provided me with a letter of termination or separation. It has been radio silent. I have no access to my employee portal. How do I go about getting my owed remaining 3 days of work. Am I entitled to compensation for this termination? I was verbally advised 1.5 days before my resignation took effect? I have never been in this position, so I do not even know how to deal, especially with being locked out of the portal. I have no way of proving my employment past paycheque deposits in my bank account, and my T4.
​
Any help, guidance, or direction, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Because of the short supply during 2021, I bought a Radeon RX6800 XT with recipe and transfer of warranty claims by the original buyer. Had a defect and wanted to RMA the card, but the solution of AMD's customer support is, to not buy a second hand card beacause they can't change a shipping address in their system. Pretty weak for a tech company at that scale, I think.
Quote from email:
Please Note: It is not possible to change address in DR portal. Only solution is original purchaser will claim the warranty. We cannot access or modify to change the address in customer record. Hope you can understand.
Hereafter, please don't purchase second hand product.
Very disappointing and in my eyes just customer unfriendly.
Just for your information and consideration.

* **Name / Alias:** Elira Scale / The Steel Dragon
* **Age:** 27 Mentally, 8 Years since Awakening
* **Alignment:** Villain (Mafia)
​
# Public Information
​
The Steel Dragon is a well known mafia cape from New York, one of their higher level enforcers, she's a versatile brute, and an easy icon. Images depicting her in her iconic steel scales laying on a mound of golden scales circulated a couple years back, leading to her iconic name, The Steel Dragon.
​
She's a case 53 well known for her Mafia connection, a brute able to fly and launch her scales. Those with access to the protectorate database would also note her changing scales over the years, akin to various metals, and that she has a tendency to leave scales attached to things, and seems to serve as some kind of spy for the mafia, though the specific means are unknown.
​
*Starting Reputation:* B$
​
# Physical Appearance
​
A large lizard-human with metallic scales, she stands at 8'6" if she fully extends herself upwards, though she tends to hunch to a much more comfortable 6'7". She has a large tail trailing roughly 5' behind her. Generally she's the color of steel, the primary material she makes her scales out of, since it is easy to get and a convenient and tough material for her scales.
​
Her rune, a classic Futhark, appears inscribed on the underside of every metal scale she grows.
​
# Mentality
​
She's very pragmatic, and loyal to the Mafia. She had been found and shunned as a monster when she first awakened, especially an early incident where she broke into a hardware store and ravenously began eating the metal components. The Mafia found her and took her in. She was treated well, and became an enforcer at the New York mafia. She was well suited to the work, quickly climbing ranks to her current spot, where she's more or less comfortable to stay.
​
She listens, and does what she's told. She's pragmatic, and quick thinking. She doesn't freeze in a fight, and is a good fighter, honed by years of experience. She struggles with empathy and reigning herself in on occasion, going a little too "Lizard brain" and considering her opponents prey before she's snapped out of it.
​
# Equipment and Resources
​
* Burner Phone - She pretty much always carries one on her when she can. Has had incidents in the past where she wasn't able to reach others in a time of need, and determined not to repeat it.
* Zip-tie Handcuffs - A useful restraining tool, she tends to keep a handful with her.
* Flashlight - Never know when you might need it
* A few small steel bars - Yummy snacks for the road
​
She has a small apartment in the city, and has food delivered to her. She lacks a vehicle, preferring to fly everywhere since she's too heavy for most normal vehicles unless she focuses on using her power to lift her a bit, making her lighter.
​
*Wealth Level:* 5
​
# Skills
​
* Excellent hand-to-claw fighter, powerful and strong, and she's a skilled grappler. She's not going to be winning martial arts contests on pure technique alone but she can definitely hold her own.
* Skilled survivalist, part instinct and part training she's able to survive in the wild basically no problem.
* Highly skilled miner, she's got a nose for metals and can sniff out veins through rock. Between her ability to just eat rock, strength, and ability to claw through the ground she's able to gather metals in the wild fairly easily, though these will generally be low quality and low purity, not the greatest stuff to make her scales from, but they will do in a pinch.
* Passable with guns, knows how to use them but finds them finnicky and hard to use. Much prefers to eat the guns and ammunition.
* Highly skilled chef though she rarely exercises this ability. In fact she will generally simply roast or scorch meat (Or even eat it raw), finding it perfectly palatable, but when persuaded she's a killer cook, and knows how to make tasty meals with relatively ordinary materials.
* Amateur florist and gardener. She keeps a small garden in her home, and is mostly capable of keeping her flowers alive and healthy, though she isn't an expert.
* Amateur Sculptor. She likes to make little figurines from metal in her free time. Her spit makes metal easy to mold, which she uses to make sculpting metals easier.
​
# Power
​
She's a case 53, a large lizard-like humanoid covered in a sheen of metallic scales the size of a fingernail, with large metallic claws at the ends of her hands and feet, and large black fangs.
​
She can control her scales, making them fly around up to 100 meters from her before she loses control. They fly with enough force to chip concrete and embed themselves in steel (Though this damages the small scales at full force). Damaged scales become Untuned, and fall off her and can no longer be controlled/sensed. Lost scales regrow within a day. Each scale is able to lift up to 1 pound. Her claws can also be detached, each about 5x stronger than a normal scale and able to lift up to 5 pounds.
​
She can make the scales stick to things strongly. While at least 1/3rd of her body is covered in scales she is able to fly, though only at a walking pace. While her full body is covered, she's able to fly up to 80 MPH, though this is not agile at high speeds, needing lots of time to slow, speed up, or turn.
​
While the scales are within 100 meters, she can hear through them, though this scales with the number of scales, 1 scale being like she's half-deaf and 20 scales allowing her to pinpoint sounds to an exact location and hear very clearly, or hear frequencies that normal people can't. She can only hear through scales that aren't stuck to her. She always knows the position of every scale as long as they aren't Untuned, no matter the distance. Her scales are able to stick to things, though can be dislodged by hand with some force.
​
While the scales are covering a part, the part is roughly 50% stronger than baseline. Baseline, she's able to bite with the force of an alligator, strike with the force of a middleweight boxing champion, and lift up to 2,000 lbs. Electricity when striking her scales will harmlessly deflect around her generally, doing no damage, but disproportionately causes scales to become untuned and fall off her. A taser strike will remove about a hand's worth of scales. Beneath her scales, her skin / flesh is as durable as strong and tough leather.
​
The durability of a scale /area on her body is roughly that of an inch-thick plate of that material. Scales regenerate within a day of being damaged, and scales that are off of her body for more than a day become untuned and need to be regrown.
​
The material her scales are made out of depends on what metals she is consuming. She is essentially always shedding old scales, causing them to regrow as the new scales of the metal. She can consume her old scales as a source of metal. Her scales inherit most of the properties of the metals she consumes, though power-made material can have unpredictable effects, and may not be able to be "re-consumed" from her own scales depending on the material.
​
She is capable of eating essentially anything. Chemicals and toxins, unless power enhanced do not affect her. While she does enjoy the taste of meat, she is able to subsist and generally prefers eating metals. Without consuming metals her scale regeneration slows to a halt, and her scales burnish and weaken over time. Her jaws disproportionally damage metals, causing them to deform easily for easy consumption. This can be used to her advantage in a battle. She's able to identify metals by their smell, and has a fairly strong sense of smell for it, comparable to that of a bloodhound.
​
She additionally has a slow regeneration, able to heal removed digits, limbs, and other body parts with 2 weeks of time and a lot of consumed meat.
​
She's cold-blooded, and enjoys the heat. Effects which cool her and colder times of the year make her sluggish and tired, and she's liable to be knocked unconscious if cooled enough. She's more resilient to higher temperatures than normal, especially with her scales on, though this isn't full protection. She's comfortable at oven temperatures but higher than that she's liable to overheat, which can be more problematic for her since she can't sweat, and will thermoregulate more slowly than others unless she has a way to cool herself down.

# Example
​
A series of small scales shoot through the door undetected as a customer exits the jewelry store, as she watches discreetly from an alley across the street. The scales carefully tap gently on the floor and walls as they go, not enough to cause noticeable noise but enough for her to hear through her sense of them as they get a rough outline of the store, and track the small noises. A single person. Nobody in the back room. A perfect time.
​
Striding up to the glass front door she punches through it, shattering it as the scales throughout the store shoot back up onto her back where she'd taken them from. With a wave of her hand the claws on her right hand and many of the scales on that arm race outwards, sticking to the one clerk's clothing and suspending him, lifting him up to the ceiling. She then gets to work, using her left hand she punches through any display cases and grabs the jewelry, stuffing it into a backpack she had brought. Once she's had her fill she recalls the scales holding the clerk up with a yelp from him as he's lowered to the floor and then they zip away, and she launches out of the front door, taking off into the sky and accelerating away.
​
# Backstory
​
She was sitting in the little room in her robes, waiting for the doctor to come in. It was fine, really. She had taken a small fall and passed out for a bit after getting a bit woozy from dehydration. Her mother was so worried, so she went to the hospital to allay worries, and was now waiting in the office for her test results.
​
The doctor walks in, solemn, and she picks up on it, quieting down, asking "Hey- is everything alright with me?". No, it is not. She has Brain Cancer, terminal. They caught it too late. She has 6 months to live, maybe a year if they start treatment now. Shell-shocked she makes her way home from the hospital, and decides one thing- she can't tell her mother. They'd lost her father a few years back to pancreatic cancer, and she couldn't burden her mother with that.
​
She begins looking desperately for a solution, anything. This is a crazy world after all, maybe powers had the solution. Any healer cost.. too much. They were busy at children's hospitals and healing other capes, and the price would have been prohibitive. Fine. She looks further, sketchier corners and finds a strange ad directing her to a website. Just contact information, and a little flourish about "A price for power." Well, power was nice. But she'd pay any price to be healed.
​
When she gets in touch, there's only one thing she's asked. What will she give up in exchange for power. "Everything."
​

On the grimy streets of New York, 3 months after Elizabeth Cole Alexander disappeared from Connecticut, a lizard awakens. At first she's shunned by superstitious locals, and ends up in a small incident where she's so hungry she ends up attacking a hardware store and ravenously begins consuming the metal parts. After being attacked and threatened off by aggressive local heroes, called a monster- she's left in an alley to lick her wounds, when a local Mafia cape finds her, and invites her to the group.
​
She accepted, and joined the group's ranks, quickly climbing as an enforcer and finding she's good at it- enjoys fighting. She works her way up as a Mafia enforcer in New York over the years, highs and lows, and enjoys a successful career.
​
That is, until she's called for a transfer. Devilfish needing more staff, she was sent. While not entirely happy to be away from the home she'd known all her life, she's determined to make what she can of the opportunity, and help this branch in Devilfish flourish.

I know that the season isn’t over and not everyone who is going to transfer has entered the portal.
Since our season is over I thought it would be fun to talk about our offseason wish list for the team.
Assuming Coleman goes pro (not 100% yet) and accounting for Epps leaving, this is what I’d like to see:
Hakeem Hart-SG-UM/Jackson Paveletzke-SG-Wofford
Both of these guys add that nice shooting 2 guard we need and adds some depth to the position.
Jaemyn Brakefield-SF-Duke/Jamison Battle-SF-Minn/ Puff Johnson-SF-UNC
Both of this guys fill the Coleman absence nicely. Brakefield BU recruited hard in HS, and Jamison has been rumored to be very interested in Illinois.
Jameer Nelson Jr.-PG-Delaware/ Sahvir Wheeler-PG-Kentucky/ Joseph Girard PG-Syracuse
Jameer is the son of an NBA PG, great lineage and adds a long missing three point threat at the PG position at this program. The other two are seasoned power five point guards with great decision making skills that can take care of the ball. We all saw what Markquis Nowell did for KSU in the tourney. I’m sure a seasoned PG could help us make a similar run next season.
EDIT: Terrence can also come back next year and that would be REAL nice

Letters of Recommendation
AP Research Teacher - Had a difficult beginning of the year in her class but she was able to see me grow as a student and I ended up doing really well on the AP and found a passion for humanities related research that I want to continue in college, I was able to read the letter and it was very good
AP English Language + Creative Writing - Hyped me up, probably talked about how I'm a good storyteller and my creativity. He is my homeroom teacher so we have a great relationship

Decisions (indicate ED/EA/REA/SCEA/RD)
Acceptances:

• Brandeis University (Jan 2024 Admission/RD, Legacy)
• Clark University (EA, Merit Scholarship)
• Connecticut College (RD, Merit Scholarship)
• Curry College (Rolling)
• Gettysburg College (EA, Deferred initially but awarded Merit Scholarship)
• Lafayette College (RD)
• Lasell University (Rolling)
• Sarah Lawrence College (EA, Merit Scholarship)
• Skidmore College (RD)
• Trinity College (RD)
• Union College NY (EA, Merit Scholarship)

Waitlists:

• Bryn Mawr College (RD, accepted waitlist spot and will see what happens)

Rejections:

• Smith College (ED, was my top choice)
• Mount Holyoke College (ED2, was second choice)
• Vassar College (RD)
• Wellesley College (RD)
• Williams College (RD)

Additional Information:
A big part of my application was the explanation for my low GPA. In the first 3 years of highschool I received Cs in my math and science classes and struggled a lot, in the application I took responsibility for what happened but also explained why my GPA was the way it was. All through highschool my grades were on an upward trend and they increased exponentially in the first semester of senior year. I also spoke about this in interviews and my rec letters mentioned it so I believe this was fully explained.
​
Final Thoughts:
I came into this process convinced that Smith College was the perfect place for me, so of course I was disappointed. However, I was more disappointed by what happened with Mount Holyoke. When I was rejected, I noticed that the college had made the decision (ED2) without waiting for my senior year grades to come in. In my letter they stated that they liked me a lot but wanted to make sure I was prepared so they wanted me to transfer after receiving strong grades at another institution. I am confident that if they had seen my senior year grades my result there would have been different, especially after receiving acceptances from so many more selective schools. Overall, I am very happy with my results. I do not know where I will end up attending as I have yet to visit, but I am very grateful for all the options I have to choose from. If I get into Bryn Mawr, I'll probably go there but I would like to visit all my options first. I hope everyone reading this has great luck!

As the title suggests, I feel like being able to inlay portals with a certain ore, would allow you to then transport that ore through a portal. It could cost between 50-100 of the refined ore but once that’s complete you can then transfer the base version of that ore through the portal.

I have a bunch of old Flipnotes on a SD card and I want to upload them somewhere where they can be preserved and shared.
Any advice on doing this in a safe way?
These were highly ranked Flipnotes that defined what Hatena was. From copying YTPs of the time to it’s more original and artistic content.
I have: Every version of 100% stickman fights I could find with different fights and different music
The Goomba Talk Show
EpicGuitar videos including their Portal 2 series
Daft Punk montages of Flipnote creators and characters (I can only see the Gizmo version on YouTube which I did not have saved)
The black and red Daft Punk Harder Better Faster flipnote that probably introduced everyone to Daft Punk
Fred videos
Mario Vs Luigi series
Weegee Horror Series included the original of an edited episode that replaced a cigarette with a lollipop
