I booked an appointment on the VFS Global website but got the message: "Sorry, you have either 1) exceeded the maximum number of attempts allowed to access our system within the current session or 2) your access to our application has been restricted right now. Please try again in another 2 hours".I have tried to try again many times on different devices but still not fix the error. Can someone help me to solve this problem. I have contacted VFS customer care but they have not responded. I sincerely thank!

Hi all,
Hoping you can help, you've all been amazing so far! Tuesday 28 March will be 28 days before I have been on my spouse in the UK for 5 years. Just to check, that means I can submit my application/book my appointment that day?
I've heard various things about when the super priority spots become available. Is it 12am, 1am or 2am? Do I log on at that time, and they should appear?
​
Thanks in advance for all your help, I really appreciate it!

According to wookieepedia his chancellorship only lasted from 60-52 BBY. Yet the book itself seems to imply that his term of office seems to be 56 BBY - 52 BBY. As he was said to be challenged by Frix who eventually won the office. Thus means he can’t be the chancellor who appointed Ranulph Tarkin as the Governor-General of Seswenna sector In 57 BBY. So that means there was a different chancellor from 60-56 BBY who succeeded Vaila Pecivas?
It actually his chancellorship a bit short and much like some our real-world presidents would have been forgotten yet some citizens of the Republic would blame him for beginning the culture of decadence that consumed the government before the rise of the Galactic Empire?

I've been on this since July (last year) going from 50mg to 100mg. And I've always had bad headaches, particularly around my period.
But jeez this new pain is sharp and constant. I'm getting migraines or externally bad headaches almost daily now. I take painkillers and those migraine strips.
I would call my doctor but I have to call bang on 8am and wait up to an hour for an appointment. And they might be fully booked. So then I have to do it the nest day and the next day.
Its exhausting. How do I fix this problem please without seeing my doctor? Or speaking to anyone really as my anxiety is still bad :(

I'm well aware that a lot of comics from the Golden Age did not have proper copyright statuses or renewed for various reasons. I have a question on the copyright of a shared universe of public domain superheroes. DC Comics has a lot of characters originating from multiple publishers, such as Fawcette, Quality, Charlton, and more. Material from the original books is free to use, but does DC own the copyright to have these characters in the same universe?
Though the event that I ever do create books with these many characters is unlikely, I want to know in case I run into any legal trouble with DC and/or Warner Bros. For example, DC made the Quality Comics hero Kid Eternity related to Fawcette hero Captain Marvel, Jr. when they licensed Captain Marvel from Fawcett in the 70s. If I were to have a crossover with the Marvel Family with, say, Plastic Man and Ted Kord Blue Beetle, would DC send a cease and desist notice to me?
I also want to know about changing elements of the characters to make them different from their more iconic versions. With Captain Marvel, (sorry for bringing him up so much, he's one of my all-time favorite superheroes), if I make the trimming in his side buttoned jacket outfit yellow with a collar added to the top, would this infringe on the Captain Marvel design from the 2010 "Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam" animated movie? (Link below) I want to give those changes to Mary Marvel and Cap Jr. to complete the military-inspired look given to Captain Marvel.
I also have a question revolving around changes I thought about to Mary Marvel's design. I want to give her the same jacket top as Captain Marvel with the changes listed above while keeping the skirt and the paratrooper boots. However, in light of the recent "Shazam: Fury of the Gods" movie, Mary received a new suit based on that movie with the sleeves and gauntlets (Image below).
Based on recent cover art for the upcoming volume of Shazam!, Mary is based on her original costume, but would this still be considered copyright infringement? Because DC made Mary transform into an adult post-Crisis, I imagine having her turn into an adult would certainly fall under copyright infringement.
I also question how I could implement the wizard Shazam since the Wizard he became an influential character at DC. If I have Shazam become a god-like character in terms of raw magical power, would that infringement on DC's version of the character, who in the 90's attained godhood and in the current reboot is the Aboriginal God of Thunder. In the original Fawcett comics, Shazam only appeared when the Marvels lit a torch that summoned the ghost of Shazam. Will I be limited to that version only, or can I expand on that and bring him up to the levels of a God?
Naming is also a question I have. Because DC owns the trademark to "Shazam!" and Marvel "Captain Marvel", I decided to re-name the character "Captain Thunder ". Captain Thunder was his original name, but another company owned the trademark to the name, and Fawcett changed it to Captain Marvel. I was originally going to follow this theme, re-naming the other characters Captain Thunder, Jr. and Mary Thunder. However, I wanted to give the team a military influence as Captain Marvel was based on the founder of Fawcette, Wilford "Captain Billy" Fawcette.
Because the Lieutenant Marvels (a team empowered by Billy Batson) are public domain, I had the idea of naming Jr. Lieutenant Thunder, and because Mary was the third member, giving her a name like Sergeant Thunder. However, the animated series Young Justice follows this trend with the characters, and I could possibly infringe on that copyright if there is one. Will I have to stick with the previous names I created, or will I be fine?
If anyone is able to answer these questions, I'd gladly appreciate it.

I started doing my claims and appointments for disability about 100 days before my ets. About a month later I received a letter saying that I need to submit my dd 214. I was active at the time, so obviously I didn't have it but I recently ETS'd so now I do. When I was finalizing my dd 214 the lady who helped me mention that she's going to send 1 copy of my dd 214 to my state VA (TX) and 1 to DC, I believe. Do I still need to upload my dd 214 to va.gov?

Hey all! So, I recently went to see my doctor as I had been experiencing an almost continuous pain in my left foot for three months or so. The doctor checked my blood and my uric acid levels were stupidly high for someone with my background (30f). He thus booked me in for regular physio appointments and started me on peptide injections.
Thirty days later, I've gone from 88.9kg to 82.3kg, which is pretty good considering I have only been injecting myself and doing some IF. The rest of my lifestyle is pretty much the same as before, though I am trying to reduce my carb intake, as per the doctor's orders.
What I'm worried about is that the peptides are working, but will I have to keep using them to subsidise my metabollism? If I stop taking them, will I gain all the weight I will have lost back?
Any advice you have will be much appreciated!

Wouls this be a decent buy in this market?

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 40%. (I'm a bot)

ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan - Voters in Turkmenistan headed to the polls on Sunday to elect a new parliament that is expected to be opposition-free and loyal to the government of the gas-rich Central Asian nation.
A total of 2,602 polling stations opened in Turkmenistan at 7 a.m. to accommodate about 3.5 million registered voters, with another 42 polling sites set up at embassies abroad. Voters will elect 125 members of parliament out of 258 candidates, put forward by three political parties or running independently.
Berdymukhamedov, 41, was elected last March to succeed his father, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, who had run the isolated ex-Soviet country for more than a decade.
Earlier this year, Serdar Berdymukhamedov appointed his father to be the chairman of Halk Maslahaty, or People's Council, the country's supreme representative body.
The People's Council has the power to change the country's constitution and determine the main guidelines of domestic and foreign policies, giving the 65-year-old Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov powerful levers to shape the country's course.
The vote on Sunday will "Mark the new stage of democratic changes" in Turkmenistan, President Serdar Berdymukhamedov was quoted as saying by state media.

I have PCOS and my gyno put me on spironolactone (50 mg and then 25 mg) for three months to lower androgens. I stopped it on the 9th of February. I follow balanced diet (low to medium carbs but no crazy restrictions) and have lost 3.5 kg. It is not a lot but I started my first natural period. My gyno also recommended a list of supplements: - Inositol (myo and d chiro inositol blend) with alpha lipoid acid - vitamin d - omega 3 - magnesium & b6 - synbiotic.
I also drink spearmint tea and take chelated copper for hair and eye supplement that contains lutein, zeaxantine, rutin, selenium and zinc.
So long story short does any supplement I take cause longer period? I am on day 7 and it is still red blood. Not a lot but usually by day 7 it’s just brown spotting for me. I am worried that maybe it’s not period but something else. I couldn’t book appointment with my doctor as she is away.

TL;DR I live with my mother, we don't get along and have serious communication struggles, leaving is not yet an option for financial reasons, and I don't know how to endure this situation without going crazy.
I live with my mother for now, while I save up money to renovate my apartment. I expect I'll finally be able to move out next year, but until then I don't know how I'll be able to preserve what's left of my sanity while I still live here.
We don't get along well. She may not be the stereotypical toxic narcissistic parent, but she has some serious issues that have caused chronic relationship difficulties between us. I cannot communicate with her at all; every time I try to raise a concern with her, she employs just about every communication no-no in the book, from dismissiveness, stonewalling, knee-jerk denial and defensiveness, tu quoque, to joking around pointlessly in an attempt to deflect the conversation (one time I was trying to have a serious conversation with her about something important to me and this woman just stuck out her tongue at me), to simply not listening and not trying to understand my point of view. She lacks basic psychoemotional skills, doesn't understand concepts such as boundaries, and has never been interested in educating herself in that regard.
Our arguments usually involve me trying to teach her basic communication skills while I'm upset about a problem and need her to have those communication skills already in place in order to solve it. And I'm just exhausting myself and working myself up into a state of despair while I feel that she just doesn't give a shit and wants me to fuck off along with my grievances.
And the communication problems are just one small part of the problem. She mismanages the household and I have to ensure I do everything myself if I want it done well (I work a full-time job, she's retired), because of course it doesn't work if I communicate with her about it and hope for the best. She makes some really questionable financial decisions that she refuses to be held accountable for, and then I have to foot the bill. We have joint ownership over a property (me 75% and her 25%) that we need to renovate and sell, and she went behind my back to get my uncle to do some shoddy work on it, because she's in a hurry to sell it and it's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission, I guess, and, again, I have to foot the bill. She has told private things about me to random people, and suddenly I had my third cousin's creepy husband asking me about them, shit like that. She randomly gets mad at me, acts pissy and passive-aggressive, and refuses to tell me why. During the pandemic she fell for the antivax and Covid denialist/conspiracist rhetoric (as a doctor and a cancer survivor, no less), and I was basically living in close quarters with someone who refused to protect herself, and that's when I decided she was a lost cause.
If this were a marriage, I'd have filed for divorce several times over. In many ways I think life with her is influencing me for the worse. She's a deeply religious person from a rural background, with a very austere and anhedonic lifestyle and very conservative beliefs, and I don't think the upper levels of the hierarchy of needs are real to her; she doesn't read anything non-religious, doesn't do anything for fun, doesn't appreciate ideas or aesthetics or new experiences, complains all the time, and just seems to content herself with taking care of basic needs and going to church and that's it. And she sets the tone in this house. I often feel like I'm living inside someone else's life, and it's not a life I'd have chosen for myself. It's a struggle to stop myself from decaying into the same kind of person.
I mention all this particularly because this attitude of hers has caused me great damage as a young teen, when I was seriously struggling with social exclusion and body image and the transition to a more "adult" level of independence and self-expression, and she didn't consider these problems valid at all, and was basically useless in helping me deal with them. I'm still dealing with the fallback of having been a "loser" kid. Even being in my predicament at 30 is seen as a "loser" thing; I wasn't even sure of posting this, because I'm sure there are many people who have zero sympathy for adults living at home and probably believe I should be ashamed of myself for having this problem.
So basically I'd like to know how to tolerate an inescapable bad situation at home. Typically, inescapable bad situations translate to depression, and I've been dealing with some of that recently; my coping mechanisms are a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Yes, I have a therapy appointment for the next month, but I'm not really getting my hopes up; it would be good to have someone to talk to nonetheless. Regarding my living situation, renting right now would make no financial sense for me, and my own apartment isn't yet habitable (no kitchen, no working toilet, very little furniture).
Thanks for reading.

Oliver (M, 3yo, Neutered, indoors only domestic Shorthair) gets his teeth brushed twice a week (sometimes thrice, sometimes only once). Oliver does not have any known dental diseases.
Today as I was brushing his teeth I noticed there seems to be what resembles a cavity (or crack?) on one of his bottom left molars, it's the shape of a stripe and the affected area is black in coloration (see pictures). Oliver does not appear to be in any pain. He eats, drinks, cuddles and plays like crazy, he does not shy away from attempting to chomp his toys to bits when we play. This is to say he is behaving normally.
https://postimg.cc/gallery/jDQFbrt
Until I'm able to book & bring him in for a vet appointment next week to get it looked at, what are things I should keep in mind to slow down possible spread (assuming) it's a cavity? I will be keeping a close eye on it, and switching things up to really try and brush his teeth daily, if not every other day at the very least (even after this is resolved).
Would it be more ideal for him to eat only wetfood until the appointment to avoid putting stress on the tooth until his vet & I are able to make a care/treatment plan?
Any insight is greatly appreciated!

TW : suicidal thoughts
We are both autistic. He went trough something pretty bad almost a year ago and got burnt out. He didnt seek help because it was too hard. I have been handling his emotional needs all by myself for a year because he has no friends.
He doesn't protect me towards his racist family because its too hard.
He can't make a decision or stand up for me because its too hard.
He can't make an appointment to the therapist because it's too hard.
And guess what, those things are also hard for me, but I end up sending emails for him, helping him with school and phonecalls, reminding him of events he has to attend, making him take a decision about his family.
And there is no room for my needs. I am drained. I started getting suicidal thoughts. I feel like I never have time to reset and relax even in my own home (we live together).
I am this close to booking a holiday and just fucking leaving him

We redesigned and improved the surfboard to have a lower environmental impact and a greater impact on your surfing experience. We eliminated the need to cut down trees to make wooden stringer reinforcements by using organic hemp, volcanic basalt, and less toxic materials.
We also reduced the toxic fumes released into the air during production, and our foam cores and shaping remnants are 100% recyclable. As a result, the board floats better, paddles easier, is more durable, and has a better flex response than traditional surfboard construction.
BIOflex Solid Surfboards are for surfers with a deep care for the environment.
None of us want to sacrifice performance, so we have designed our BIOflex Boards to out perform, out last, and out paddle the old alternative.
Want to start surfing sustainably?
Book a free appointment today and we can design your next board together remotely from anywhere in the world.

I got the charging port on my iPhone replaced at a high street repair chain. A fairly quick and cheap repair, but around 2 days later my screen developed an issue with ‘ghost touches’ and was barely usable. I took it back and spoke to a different person, who conceded that it was most likely their repair that caused the problem, but because my phone was already cracked there was nothing they can do. Looking at their T&Cs this is stated in there -
2.9 In order to complete a diagnostic or repairs it may be necessary to disassemble the device, which may result in further damage to the device. We take no liability for any further damage to the device, because of any existing damage. We will not cover the cost of replacement parts in any circumstances including if the device is not repairable.
However, it also says this -
2.1 This Agreement shall commence from the date you sign the service check-in form and shall continue until we have repaired or otherwise returned your Device, whichever is sooner, and received any payment due from you.
In my conversation with the man in the shop he realised that nobody had asked me to sign anything. He then palmed me off to the head office, who don't even have a phone number so I have been trying to resolve this by email but have been largely ignored. All they've said is that I agreed to it when I signed the waiver form when booking the appointment online, despite me reiterating on three occasions that I had booked the appointment in person and wasn't asked to sign anything then either. They've now gone radio silent.
Based on the events I'm wondering if I have cause to claim for damages since they messed up and never got me to agree to their terms of service? Thank you!
