Does jessie holmes have a girlfriend

Jeanette Marantos I think is the name of LA Times' plant writer who does a lot of pieces mentioning native plants. Her pieces have pulled in a couple of people I know personally into growing natives. I really hope she was not a part of the recent layoffs -- anyone know if she was?

I currently have a 2013 Ford Focus Titanium HB hand me down that's been giving me so many maintenance problems. I've gone to several different mechanics and the prices have been killing me so I'm in the market for a used, small SUV.
Ideally it would've been a 2008/2010 Honda CRV bit there is a small market for it where I live. There are a lot more Ford Escapes instead.
I am kind of a bit skeptical of Ford now and the price it takes to maintain and take it to the shop. Is it just the Focus or does it expand to all Ford cars in the 2008-2014 time frame? Are there any alternatives maybe in the 10k (CAD) range?

CAMs like Kaka and Best have the Long Shot SB and theres a long shot taker trait and there's also the long shots attribute, but like exactly what would count as a long shot. Does it just have to be outside the box for it to count as a long shot, or does it have to be even further out?

My partner and I try to divide chores evenly 50/50.
Sometimes when my partner hasn't done something for a while I will ask him to do it. They say that they know they have to do the thing I am asking about so I should never be asking them to do anything. They find it annoying when I do.
For example: earlier this week I asked them if they could do their laundry soon because the basket wouldn't shut and it was all theirs. We decided to mostly do our own laundry, throwing each other's stuff in if there's space. So I'd done my laundry, shared laundry like sheets and some of his laundry, 3 loads and he hadn't done any. It seemed fair to ask him to do a load.
Then a few days later, today, I said, would you mind having a look at the washing up either today or in the morning. I had washed up a couple days then no one washed up yesterday and so I figured he could today.
I guess I mention it because I worry how long it will go on if I don't. Historically either the house will get messy or I'll have to do it again but we're supposed to keep things 50/50. He often talks about how when one person's busy the other has to pick up the slack and it can't always be even but it feels like it's me picking up to slack more often than him.
We both work manual labour jobs with me working longer hours at work but him doing work at home too. I have a business idea I want to get to but because I don't need the money like he does I never get to do it.
I think we should split chores 50/50 so we can both do with our free time as we please. We both contribute evenly financially.
I don't feel asking him twice in one week to do something that he hadn't done for a while is unreasonable, but he does. Apparently I'm nagging. I ask him nicely and lightheartedly. Who is right?

I'm a support main but I got 3 Taliyah skins in orbs and rerolls all in one day. It includes SSG, pool party, and star guardian (so cute). Enchanted all of them to permanent and tried her out in ARAMs, she's pretty fun! I find myself doing the most damage on my team but not being able to carry. That's to be expected though since it was literally the first 3 times I played her.
​
I have some questions about her:
1) Is she viable for support or jungle? What's the matchup like between engage, sustain, and poke supports? My mains are Soraka, Neeko, and Karma.
2) In the jungle how is her clear, and is she an early invading jungler? What does she bring to the team?
3) How do I use her ult properly? In ARAM it's a little awkward but would she be a splitpusher and then ult to objectives for teamfights?
4) Why does she have so many blue skins lol

I have a father who is constantly critisizing everyone in the household and says in every argument how he does all of the work in the house. Even though my mother does even more work than him. But its not like he is now a poor father who no one in his family loves him even though he is doing everything he can. Sometimes besides doing the basic things he puts the work on himself even though no one asked him for it and he would know that someone else would do it, just so he could say later that he did the work too and could complain even more about how he is doing everything. For example: I was cooking by myself dinner for everyone. But he just came next to me and started doing stuff that i would do during it, even though he didnt even ask if he could help, because he knew i would reject his help. But he came there anyways just so he could feel better about himself and could say that he also cooked the lunch and make himself look more like the victim. That was just one example.
But not only does he complain about him doing everything in the house, but when we are actually doing something by ourselves, he always talks what could have been done better and how we are doing it all wrong. For some this might sound like he just wants to taught us how to do things right, but its actually just bunch of crap that only makes him sound wiser and doesnt really contribute to anything. He basically thinks of himself as something higher than we are. And he always makes sure that his opinions outweight ours every single time and does everything he can to protect it and make his point.
How am i supposed to deal with this dude? I feel like everytime i go into a room with him, i risk getting into an argument, for not even doing anything.

I know this is super specific, but does anybody have book recs where the MMC is a mechanic? Like owns his own garage, does custom automobiles, or is the mechanic of a famous sports team etc??!!

There is a saying attributed to Mark Twain that goes, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but if often rhymes.” This means circumstances might be different but similar events often recur. This is good because securities regulators demand that you make it clear that in the financial markets, “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.”
However, investment analysts continue to use rhymes and here’s one that could help you see sizeable investment returns from Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF). This is how the rhyme comes together:
A. The 1990s technology boom: The parallel I see is between the current Artificial Intelligence cycle and the dot-com stock market cycle of ≈1990 to ≈ 2002. As background, the 1990s either developed or laid the groundwork for changes that completely transformed the world we live in. Out of that time came many new technologies and related developments and each was highly disruptive. Here is a very brief list of some of those developments:
(1) Nokia was the first mass-produced cellphone offered in 1992 with the ability to send and receive phone calls as well as store data (e.g. phone numbers).
(2) The World Wide Web, a.k.a. the Web browser was proposed in 1990 and debuted in 1991. This was the start of the Internet, Websites, e-mails and a massive amount of information that would become available to everyone.
(3) With the explosion of data available, finding it became a challenge. Mosaic started as the first search engine in 1993 followed by Yahoo in 1994 and Google in 1998. Today, Google has risen to the top and become synonymous with an Internet search. Google it.
(4) Other important developments of that time included the growth in the capacity of microprocessors, Photoshop, texting, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, realistic videogames for a more adult market, collecting and using DNA, the start of e-tailing and more.
(5) Finally, we have the stock market. Cisco, Dell, Intel and Microsoft are sometimes referred to as the four horsemen of the 1990s tech boom. But we can’t ignore Apple and Google and there were many more that benefited. The smaller, new, Initial Public Offering companies came to the fore with incredibly high returns in the second half of the 1990s.
The chart to the right shows how stock markets performed during the 1990’s high-tech boom. A few things are worth noting:
(1) The Dot.Com stock market cycle lasted a long t time. Essentially, more than the decade of the 1990s. It’s length reflected the importance of the fundamental changes taking place.
(2) There was an important development regarding the stock market that has become part of the stock market legend. On December 5, 1996, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan in a televised speech used the term “irrational exuberance” to describe a stock market that he thought was highly speculative and overvalued. His comment was intended as a warning from the Fed that the stock market, driven by the high-tech developments described above, was overvalued. His timing was five years early which is a lifetime in the stock market.
(3) The five years after Greenspan’s “irrational exuberance” statement was the most profitable for investors of the entire ten years plus of the stock market cycle.
As you sit reading this brief, imagine your life without a cell phone, the Internet, e-mail and text messages. How different would your life be without just these four products that emerged from the 1990s. A more relevant question might be how different would your life be if you had purchased shares in Apple or Cisco or Dell or Google or Microsoft back then?
B. The Artificial Intelligence Boom (AI): The term Artificial Intelligence was created in 1955. The idea was to have a machine that could take data, and find patterns that would enable it to make predictions and reach conclusions (make decisions). The Oxford Dictionary defines AI as “The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.”
It was Moore’s Law in 1975 that stated the capacity of semiconductors would continue to double every two years which enabled computers to be able to put into practice the AI Boom that is taking place today. Current forecasts say the AI industry will grow to $900 billion by 2026 and $15.7 trillion by 2030. AI growth in the 1920s could dwarf anything high-tech was able to accomplish in the 1990s.
(1) There is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom going on and many people don’t yet realize it is even happening. AI is used in:
i. Self-driving and parking cars. AI is used by Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Toyota and Volvo.
ii. Maps and navigation. Enter where you are and where you want to go by car and Google Maps, for example, will give you a choice of routes, the time optimal route taking into account construction and traffic.
iii. Facial detection or recognition. Facial detection identifies a human face or facial recognition that identifies a specific face that can be used for surveillance and security.
iv. Digital assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Google’s Now and Microsoft’s Cortana. When combined with search and recommendation AI, Alexa or Siri is able to learn your preferences and recommend things you are interested in.
v. Customer service chatbots that answer frequently asked questions, track orders or direct calls. Often people will be unaware they are dealing with a machine.
vi. Vehicle recognition use computer vision and deep learning to find a specific car on a surveillance video.
vii. Robot vacuums can scan a living area, look for and remember objects in the way, remember the best route for cleaning the area and decide how many times it should repeat cleaning a specific area.
It is estimated that by 2030, between 400 and 800 million jobs will be displaced by Artificial Intelligence and 375 million people will have to change to a totally different type of work. It is also forecast that it is not just lower-paying, blue-collar jobs that will be replaced by AI. Jobs such as accountants, lawyers, doctors, investment advisors and portfolio managers might all be substantially eliminated. AI will impact all industries and the rate of change will be exponential, that is, the rate of change will accelerate.
For example, what does a doctor do? In general, a doctor gathers new information, refers to a patient’s medical history, refers to a medical book or today’s Internet, makes a diagnosis and provides s treatment. This is also what a lawyer does. AI might reach the point where it can do it faster and better than a human..
AI does present threats to human existence. As AI is changing exponentially, it will happen faster than the technology boom of the 1990s. It took technology 20 years to produce the changes we discussed above. AI could produce equivalent changes in 10 or 15 years. For example, ChatGPT, an AI product went from zero to 100 million users within months making it the fastest-growing consumer software product in history. There will be others.
(2) The AI shift could drive economic change and a stock market cycle at least as significant as the last “dot.com” cycle. The “go-to” companies today for participation in AI are the likes of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ: META), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL). These are very large companies. GOOGL has a market cap of $1.6 trillion, AMZN has a market cap of $1.2 trillion, META has a market cap of $$648 billion, MSFT has a market cap of $2.4 trillion, NCDA has a market cap of $963 billion and ORCL has a market cap of $282 billion.
(3) While these are excellent businesses, they are also amongst the world’s largest companies. In 2022, GOOGL, META and MSFT purchased 2 out of every 3 AI chips. In my opinion, it is almost unthinkable that GOOGL can be a ten-bagger from a base market cap of $1.6 trillion or AMZN from $1.2 trillion. But it is clear these stocks now have a major component of their value derived from involvement in Artificial Intelligence and it is not surprising that early adopters would choose a lower risk/lower return approach to gain exposure to an emerging Artificial Intelligence industry.
(4) The changes created by AI also carry some risks. The speed of change will be challenging to human beings. There are forecasts that say one in four workers globally will see their jobs disappear and one in eight workers will have to be retrained in a totally unrelated field. During the industrial revolution and the tech boom, there was always the promise of more and better jobs. With AI we may have reached the point where machines actually do replace workers.
(5) Cathie Wood is a well-known and widely followed money manager with a reputation for expertise in the Artificial Intelligence sector. Wood manages a range of portfolios including the ARK Innovation Exchange Traded Fund (ARKK) and since its founding in 2014, Bloomberg estimates NDVA has contributed 13% of the fund’s 112% total return only behind Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, Invitae Corp and Tesla. That is all positive but Wood sold the ARKK holding in NVDA in January 2023 just before it rallied strongly adding some $560 billion to its market cap with $200 billion coming on one day after reporting earnings. Wood’s investors have basically missed the huge rally in the stock and the sector in 2023.
(6) But there is another phase I would look for and that is the participation of smaller, retail investors. Whether it was in the tech cycle I discussed above, the “meme” stocks or commodity exploration and development cycles in the past, the retail investor buys in before the bull market ends. Market pundits such as Citi global asset allocation and Vanda Research make the same observation: where is the retail investor?
We know the institutional investors have been getting in. So far in 2023 according to Bloomberg, the top 4% of stocks in the S&P 500 have contributed 94% of the index return and 8 of the top 20 include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet Class A, NVIDIA, Alphabet Class C, Tesla and Meta. In other words, the top 2% of the stocks in the S&P 500 contributed 94% of the return. Through mid-May, if the AI stocks are omitted, the S&P Index would be down -1.4% instead of up +8.3%. All of these stocks are AI leaders and each of them is an institutional stock. Yet, I believe the retail investor will come into the market and when they do, it is stocks like PMED for which they have always had an appetite.
C. I think investors will get more bang for their buck by investing in a small company like Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) with a total commitment to AI. From a base market cap of $16.6 million and, as I have pointed out in recent reports, many different business verticals to get them higher, I see PMED as a unique opportunity for aggressive growth investors. It is hard to imagine any decade having more of an impact on the ensuring socio-economic decades than the 1990s. Imagine your activities today without your cellphone, Internet, email and texting.
I expect the cycle driven by AI to be a long one, similar to the dot-com cycle that lasted longer than the decade of the 1990s. To the right is a chart published by Luke Lango’s Hypergrowth Investing. It shows the stock market in the 1990s and overlays current results. The parallels Lango sees include:
• Federal Reserve’s tight money policy slowed economic growth in 1990 as it is doing currently.
• In 1990, the markets were down around 20% and in 2022 stocks dropped around 25%.
• In late 1990, the Fed started reducing interest rates and the markets rebounded.
• In late 2022, the Fed has turned less hawkish and into 2023 has slowed the pace of interest rate increases. The markets have been recovering.
• In the early 1990’s, the dot-com stock market rally began and the market would advance generally higher for the rest of the decade and into the new millennium.
• Today, it is Artificial Intelligence that is pushing stocks higher and given my expectations for AI, it could stock prices higher until at least 2030.
Conclusion: I believe Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is exceptionally well positioned to participate in the upcoming boom in Artificial Intelligence. There are many different ways to describe market cycles that evolve around such drivers. Here is mine:

1. Accumulation: the earliest buyers tend to be larger institutions that gain the information necessary to be early adopter. I have given several statistics to show this has been happening.
2. Retail Participation/Speculation: as the story gains acceptance, less experienced investors enter the market and prices begin to rise more quickly. After two to three years of combined buying by large and small investors, it is possible to identify speculative activities such as very rapid increases in a stock price or underwritings of companies based on questionable valuations. This is the next phase I see ahead for the current AI cycle.
3. Distribution/Sale: At some point, toward the end of the Retail Participation/Speculation phase, some investors will begin to sell. It is popular to believe that institutional investors or “smart money” sell at this stage. During the many years, I have spent in the investment business, this is not true. Institutions can hold on to their AI stocks for far too long and end up seeing their portfolios incinerated. This is still many years away. The challenge today with a stock like PMED is not getting out; it is getting in.
4. Bear Market: eventually there will be a broad sell-off of AI stocks. Some institutions will sell without regard for their impact on the market. Margin buyers will get margin calls and may be forced to sell again without regard to price. At this time, over half of the AI companies trading at that time will simply disappear. Some will be successful but remain smaller. Some will merge with another AI company. Some will be acquired. Very few will survive and become leaders in the industries. They will become the Alphabets, Amazons, Metas, Microsofts, Nvidias, and Oracles of the 2040s and 2050s.

I started out with the quote “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” So I don’t think the AI cycle of the 2020s will be the same as the high-tech cycle of the 1990s but I think it will be similar. If you agree, Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is a stock to buy for your portfolio.

I graduated from university in 2021, with two degrees, one in Mechatronics and the other in Astrophysics. COVID kinda messed up being able to get a job immediately and I did not do an internship during school (should have). I worked on a flower farm following school until that fall. I was thinking of going to grad school during this time either for something in the STEM field. I got accepted at UofT for a Masters degree but ultimately withdrew in the first week as my already-present doubts about what I was doing finally rose to the surface. I have now since Sept 2022 been trying to get a job. I had a fair number of interviews (including multi-rounds) but never seemed to be selected. I unfortunately have become relatively depressed with my situation and am at wit's end. I am trying to network but I am having a mental block on finding what fields I would be interested in. I have been trying to learn web dev but IMO that seems like it will take some time. I just want to get on with my life and not work manual labour with university degrees. ATM I tutor people online.
My interests including music, film, history, politics, "the news" (lol), programming, science and philosophy, as well as helping people (whether through direct action or making something).
Does anyone have advice on how I could start networking in order to get myself visible to people and show them that I am bright and ready to learn / work. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Any questions I will try to answer to the best of my ability in a timely manner.
Here is my redacted resume.

Hey everyone!
Things have been quiet for a while here, as with the new team configuration it has been hard to dedicate time to reviewing Reddit submissions. To help combat this, I would like to introduce to you the Community Recommendation Program! This initiative is a supplement to regular reviews, which will be paused for now but picked up in fall, to ensure there is another way to enter the program and promote high quality submissions! Here's how this will work:

• Realms Program mapmakers will review your maps on Reddit, using the Community Reviewer flair.
• Every week, a highly recommended Reddit map will enter the program where it will go through regular review.
• During the summer, regular Reddit reviews from Mojang will be paused, but will pick back up in the fall. If your map does not get through via recommendation, we'll still review it when it pops up in the queue, but this way high quality maps have a chance of entering the program via recommendation ahead of the queue.

I would like to thank all of the Realms mapmakers who have volunteered to help out with this, and I see this as a great thing going forward even when regular reviews pick up.

I'm a broke 16 year old in a 3rd world country with an extremely low budget for a pc. I found a used one that I can afford with an i7 6700 and a gt 1030. I'm aware the gt 1030 does not have a hardware encoder so I will have to use x264 while streaming. Will I be able to stream Valorant , Payday 2 and Minecraft at atleast 480p with a decent framerate without lag?

It’s a 2007 with 190,000 miles. A local mechanic fixes up old Priuses and does the battery refurbishment himself. The battery is a Greenbean, but he installs the cells one by one. The sale price comes with a charger that he suggests using to plug-in overnight weekly to maintain the battery. Does anyone have any experience with this and can you offer any advice?

Hey, I'm a 23 year old female roleplayer. I am currently looking for someone to roleplay with on Discord.
Who I'm looking for: An adult person to roleplay with, preferably over 21, who is willing to play a male character for a one-on-one romance roleplay. I would like to write with a person who is able to use correct grammar and punctuation. Your IRL gender does not matter to me, as long as you’re willing to play as a male in the roleplay.
What I'd like to do: I'd like to do a one-on-one romance roleplay set in the modern days. I would like to brainstorm ideas with you – it's more fun that way, instead of having a set story in mind. I'd like to know your preferences in a story: what do you like? Drama? Angst? Let's incorporate it in the story!
Who & what I am NOT looking for: I am not looking to find "pleasure". Also, if you are a one liner, this ad is not for you!
I can provide writing samples if you'd like to see my writing style and check if my style works for you.
If you’re interested, please do not hesitate to send me a direct message. Thank you!

Sorry 4 the rant // just want advice
I am sick I currently have a sinus infection and I think I have an ear infection and the ear infection is causing me to leak fluid out my ear, cause ear aches, & headaches
A good enough reason to say I'm in pain? Correct
Apparently not, earlier this morning I decided to tell my mom before she goes to work since this is my day off that I am going to go to a hospital after she gets something work because obviously clearly sick and need some antibiotics... She told my father and my father comes in my room tells him I need to stop complaining about stupid shit and that I need to "man up"
I was just telling her my plans for my day yk what I mean just to let her know and I feel like I'm being attacked just cause or picked on... I really don't try to complain I focus on the positive for the most part & I lead with logic for the most part & I'm a very agreeable person yk
Does anyone else kinda have like this problem or had it? I wanna talk with my parents about this but I don't wanna come across as dramatic or anything when I try to speak with them yk

Hello everyone,
I'm currently considering purchasing a Tesla Model Y Longrange, and I'm beyond excited! However, I find myself contemplating whether I should take the plunge now or wait for the 2024 model.
Does anyone here have any insights on possible updates or changes coming to the 2024 version? Specifically, I'm curious about both interior and exterior design changes. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your help.

All through life I always felt lost. I felt like an outsider the way I never fit it. Life was pretty hard. As a teenager I took the personality test after learning about in school. After that my whole perspective of who I was changer. I found out I was an infj and finally found my people.
I’m still really quite not cause I’m shy I just don’t want to talk. I have a really strong instinct with everything. I can tell straight away if someone’s not to be trusted or has predatory behaviour. I’ve never been wrong and whenever I ignore this instinct the person always ends up hurting me or others.
This can be a pain because sometimes a person could have done absolutely nothing wrong to me or anyone else but I just can’t warm to them. The worst thing about is I CANNOT Be Fake. No matter how hard I try. If I have a bad feeling about you I can’t even sit next to you. This makes me look like a huge bitch. Sometimes I can be civil but sometimes it’s just to exhausting and I end up completely ignoring that person.
Does anyone else relate to this or am I crazy?

Hi, I have been interested in CRT monitors for a while and I have finally bought one off of eBay (DELL E773C CRT MONITOR) and it says that it should arrive here by Monday as of posting this, I have never used a CRT personally before and I am planning on maybe using it as a main monitor? but I am not sure what things I need to do to make sure that it lives its life as long as possible, so if you guys have any tips on how I can take care of it please let me know (this monitor does not come with a stand either)

For simplicity sake we can imagine a perfect sphere and ignore the vents for now. I'm just trying to get an idea of how to approach this problem and solve it. I understand it's not an easy one to figure out and there are procedures for engineers but my hypothetical material isn't on a look up chart. All I have is it's compressive strength is 38 psi. That's not much I know. There is no standard of safety as this is purely an intellectual problem for now so that I can understand the problem. The radius is 1 meter. Temperatures are room temperature. If a shear value is needed we can try to approximate one to get an estimate of a reasonable wall thickness. The vacuum can be assumed to be roughly 14 psi. Does anybody know how to solve for at least a reasonable approximation of theoretical wall thickness?
