Why does the plant put that little bit of extra energy into 1 or 2 tops? Is it a survival instinct or something 🤔

What’re y’all keeping on your flash drives for if/when SHTF?

Books, DIY survival guides, offline maps, protest propaganda, porn (if you live in one of those states). I’m trying to fill mine up alongside a plethora of tv shows, books, and movies.


Hoping for tips on avoiding eBay scams

I need a new phone. This is not a "perceived obsolescence" issue - my current phone is from 2018, no longer holds charge unless plugged in, barely charges when plugged in, is missing the power button, and has a cracked screen. I don't think it's long for this world. I have an eBay gift card for $200, which is plenty to get a refurbished "like new" Samsung s22 and below. However, I know there are scammers galore on eBay, and using a gift card doesn't have the same protections as using a credit card where I can charge back. So, I was hoping some of you might tell me specific things to look out to avoid scammers - yes, I've read relevant posts in the sub, but anything that might be particularly damning - and if I have any recourse if I end up with some empty box. The main question, really, is if it's worth trying to buy a phone there at all. Thank you for your help.


Could ACOTAR 5 be a tandem read with HOFAS? (Predictions for next ACOTAR book)

🛑This post contains spoilers for *Crescent Cit*y (specifically *HOFAS*) as well as all books from the *ACOTAR* series, so please only scroll down if you have read the series or are happy with spoilers🛑 Just to premise this by saying that these predictions are just based on my own thoughts and theories, and obviously only SJM knows what is going to happen *in ACOTAR 5,* but I'd love to hear people's thoughts! 😊 I think *ACOTAR 5* will be **Elain's story,** it will be split into **two halves** and will become **a tandem read with HOFAS:** **PART ONE:** * The first half will take place **post-ACOSF,** but **pre-HOFAS**. * It will feature POVs from Elain, Lucien, and Azriel. * The love triangle SJM has set up between Elain, Lucien, and Azriel will develop. * We will see how Elain has been spending her time at the Night Court and how her friendships with Cerridwen and Nuala have formed. * Lucien will discover who his father is (and Helion will discover he has a son) and that he has inherited the ability to break spells/curses etc. We will also see more of his potential as a future High Lord and more of the "dominance" Cassian witnessed in ACOSF. * We will see the Autumn Court when Lucien goes to confront his mother about his heritage. * Lucien's relationship with his mother and brothers (Eris specifically) will be explored. * The Autumn Court will continue attempting to take over the Spring Court. * We will see the Spring Court and how it looks under a broken Tamlin. And we will see how Tamlin and Lucien's friendship has changed. * Elain and Vassa will meet and dislike each other to begin with, but will eventually develop a friendship. * We will get some more background on Azriel, his childhood and why he is "different". * We will find out when Azriel was given Truthteller by Mor and why. * We will meet Azriel's mother, who will be revealed as a seer, revealing this is how Azriel knew what Elain was (and his mother is the reason Rhys' mother knew who his mate would be and why she was able to make dresses to her exact size and likeness). * Azriel's mother will help Elain with her powers, but due to her past and trauma she can only help her so much. * Elain will have a vision showing a "world-walker" is coming and that they are somehow linked to Azriel. * Elain and Lucien's mate bond will be explored and how they both feel about it. **PART TWO:** * The second half of the book will pick up from the beginning of HOFAS, creating **a tandem read between ACOTAR 5 and HOFAS**. * At this point Azriel's POV will stop and we will be left with Elain and Lucien's POV. This will be due to the arrival of a mysterious female from another world (the "world-walker" Elain saw in her vision), and Azriel will "disappear" from the main story as he follows the mysterious female into the caves along with Nesta, where we know they become trapped for approx 5 days. * Elain and Lucien will go to the Continent to find out more about Koschei under the guise of being emissaries to the Fae realms, taking Jurian, Cerridwen and Nuala with them. * We will find out what deal Elain's father struck with Koschei and the consequences. * Vassa and Jurian will be revealed to be romantically involved. * As part of the background plot, we will get the events of HOFAS happening in the background and mentioned in passing: * We will hear how the mysterious female left their world with Azriel's dagger. * We will hear how Nesta gave the female the Mask. And also how the mysterious female came back, and that the mask/Truthteller have since been returned, along with the Starsword. * The IC will mention the prison island wards are starting to fail after the mysterious world-walker female did something to the land - the cells are weakening, causing the inmates to be at risk of being set free and they are working on how to fix it. * We will hear that Azriel and Nesta are now investigating the thin places at the Dusk Court and Nesta is trying to figure out her connection to the 8-point star. * We will hear or witness how, ever since the mysterious female left for the final time, Azriel has been acting oddly. * Elain will find Koshei's lake and will learn the truth about the "swans" that Koschei keeps. * Koschei will attempt to take Azriel but he will be saved by Lucien and Elain. * During Azriel's rescue from Koschei's grasp, it will be revealed Azriel is connected to the Prince's of Hel in some way. * It will be revealed that Koschei needs Azriel because of his connection to the mysterious "World-Walker" who came to Prythian (Bryce), who Koshcei needs to open a portal so he can escape from Prythian. * As well as saving Azriel, Elain and Lucien will break Vassa's curse and free the "swans" from Koschei. * Elain will forge her own IC with herself, Lucien, Vassa, Jurian, Cerridwn and Nuala. **EPILOGUE:** * Once Elain's story is wrapped up and complete, we will then get an epilogue chapter showing Azriel wanting to know more about who/what he is and discovering he can cross into another world using the "thin places" on the Prison Island. * He will use it to go to Midgard, where he plans to find Bryce to seek answers about the Princes of Hel and to bring her back to Prythian, so she can fix the Prison Island's failing wards. * This will set up the beginning of *Twilight of the Gods,* SJM's new series that is heavily rumoured to bring together all three of her series (*TOG*, *ACOTAR* and *CC*) **BONUS CHAPTER:** * Lucien will set off to visit the Day Court, where Helion waits to greet his son. We will see the beginnings of Helion and Lucien's relationship and hints that Lucien may be the Day Court's heir.

5 years out of market

Hi guys, i have been out of market for 5 years and decided to return. Which roadmap for VMware certification do you recommend? I have 7 years experience with VMware administration, but never took any certification. And about some discount coupons, that helps a lot 😀. Thanks.

How did the creators and operators of the TITAN sub have such confidence in such a flawed design?

Been watching a few documentaries on the subject I am curious how they had such faith in the sub considering the material choices and the risks associated with deep-sea exploration. The wireless game controller alone should have been concerning to the layman let alone experienced profession

Anyone spoken with any of the metro detroiters who voted for trump because of palestine?

Just wondering if any of them have buyers remorse yet given he just declared he wants to “clean” Gaza of Palestinians and restarted sending them bombs.

Say "no" without saying "no" and when to say "no"

May 2025 be better for us all. Saying "no" is something individuals may find this very difficult to do especially if it means saying“no” to your supervisor. This might be particularly challenging if you are aperson who likes to make others happy. Yet, the reality is that if you are already having a difficult time managing your time, saying “yes” might be the worst thing you can do as the work will simply pile-up. You will essentially be creating another unaccomplished task for yourself and feel even more stress and pressure. Understandably saying “no” is not always possible yet if you can demonstrate that you are already working on something important that brings value, you can indeed say“no” in a reasonable manner. For example, you might start by mentioning what you are working on and asking your supervisor, “do you think this takes priority over what I am doing at the moment?” Or, “I understand that you would like me to do this, yet what I am working on right now will take me at least the entire day to finish and it was flagged with high importance.” Also, you can present alternatives, which is always a good approach, “would it be understandable if I came to see you about this after I finish what I am doing at the moment?” I have proposed this idea to multiple people with the same result; it worked. When I followed-up with them they all told me basically the same thing, “nothing bad happened when I said no without saying no.” Now allow me to provide another narrrative where it might be interesting to say "no," or I should say encourage the other person to say "no." Let's say you wanted a certain day off and knew it might be challenging for your supervisor to approve your request for one reason or another. Instead of asking, "can I have next Tuesday off?" Try asking, "can I have next Tuesday off if you think it is operationally feasible and enough people are in and please feel free to say "no" if you think it will not be possible?" I would be very curious to hear the response to a request where you allow the person the opportunity to say "no." In the first instances, they might feel uncomfortable and maybe even feel bad if they have to say "no." In the second instance, by giving them the space to say "no," it might place them a bit more at ease and that might influence their mindset towards being more empathtic to your request. When asking a certain type of question whereby you want something from the other person, this approach can garner different results than what you might typicall get with just asking directly. I am here to planet seeds. I hope you will try it and send me feedback at your leisure.
