2023.06.01 17:37 JibletsGiblets How to replace this light switch?
The switch in question: https://imgur.com/ly2ECAY
A few years ago we had the kitchen redone and the electrician fitted this light switch as the main switch. It controls 2 sets of dimmable LED bulbs and a set of led-strip underlighting (non-dimmable).
This likely isn't relevant but for completeness: • The leftmost just acts as a push on/off for the underlighting strips. • The middle is push on/off for the main bank of LED downlighters and twist to dim. It is also controlled by another simple on/off switch at the other end of the kitchen. • The right-most controls a second bank of LED downlighters for the dining area. Only the push on/of is wired up there. The dimming is done by another single dimmer switch in that area.
Sounds overly complicated written out like that, but its works well for us.
Or it did until a few months ago, then the on/off push switch for the middle switch (the main lights in the kitchen) stopped working. It feels like the catch is broken, so when you turn it on it'll either go on but not stay on, or go on and stay on forever.
My question is what can I actually replace this with? I've no idea what make it is/where it was from, and from a cursory search, I can't find a perfect match. The second question is: how do I go about replacing it? I was hoping to find an exact match so that I could just go my usual bodge-it route of taking lots of photos and replicating it.
I've not touched a complicated switch like this and it's giving me the fear, but on the other hand, I shouldn't need an electrician to change a light switch... Should I?!
Dimensions when I try to measure accurately appear to be: 145mm x 88mm. 106mm screw to screw.

2023.06.01 17:23 seaturtle8476 Guide to a 524 from an overstudier
Hello Mcat-ter's! I wanted to give my guide to how I got a 524 (132/130/131/131) last year (august 2022). I improved from my diagnostic which was a 497. This sub has been super helpful to me, and instead of writing secondaries I'm procrastinating by writing this post. So, lets get into it!
0) A bit about me.
I'm a mostly traditional applicant (taking a one year research year (like 95% of applicants these days)). I took the test between junior and senior year over the summer. I go to a t20 school where I got pretty good grades (~3.9 gpa). Majored in humanities (not bio) so was a little weaker on the science parts, but really good at reading. Have always been a good test taker (34 I think on the ACT, 5's on all the AP's I studied for et.c.). Tutored students in chem. Tutored my siblings in like every science subject / math. I also REALLY knew my amino acids.
1) Disclaimers
First, I want to start of saying that this technique may not work for everyone. I put in a lot of time into studying, which may not be feasible for non-trads, those who have to work full time, those with families, et.c. Second, as you will see, I bought a lot of resources (like a lot). This was NOT cheap. Fortunately I saved up a lot of money before / during college and had my parents to help me out. Third, I was really determined to get an 99th+ percentile score. While a 520+ score is not going to hurt anyone, the amount of time / energy it takes may not be worth it for your application (another 200-300 clinical hours or volunteer hours may be better for your application)
2) Non-Study Stuff that Set me Up for Success
My total study time was ~8 months. I studied part time during the spring semester, and then basically full time during the summer. I had a three day a week research internship (~20 hours per week). I basically studied 40-50 hours a week when I was studying full time. I deleted all social media. Blocked it on my phone (i think my total phone use per day went down to <2 hours a day (and that included using it for GPS to get places)). While this is probably not possible for most applicants, my internship was in a new city I had never been to / lived in. I therefore only knew like 2 people there (one of whom was my roommate). This meant I had to say no to basically no social engagements because, well, I didn't really have any friends there. While this was definitely super lonely at times, this also meant I wasn't getting pulled to go out and party (I'm usually pretty extraverted, so saying no to social events is hard for me). Obviously, moving to a new city is probably not in the cards for most people, but it was probably cheaper in the end than staying in my college town (where rent is not only higher, but the cost of going out / hanging out with friends).
3) The Resources
As I said above, I used a F*** ton of resources:
Given the gigantic list of resources, you all are going to laugh, but probably the only thing I didn't use was UGLOBE, lol. Mostly, its because I ran out of time + I felt really good about my level of prep. A lot of people like UGLOBE but it wasn't for me. YMMV and it probably is a good resource, I just didn't use it.
Study Methods:
I studied about 700 hours total (a lot, I know).
about 1 year before start of studying I took the Blueprint half-length. I got a 497 on this (125/126/121/125). I hadn't taken all the pre-reqs yet so I was pretty content with this score (ngl), but I def needed more content review.
Start of Part Time Studying:
I started part time studying over winter break. I started with a diagnostic test (Kaplan). I got a 506 on this (127/127/125/127). From there I started by reviewing the Kaplan books (reading them through and writing notes). I would take the end of chapter quizzes. I would make a flashcard for any question I got wrong. I also did the Kaplan science assessment which gave me a better idea of my areas of weakness in the sciences (my scores were between 8/30 for biochem and 25/30 for psych). I also did daily jack westin CARS.
When I went back to school, the pace of studying definitely slowed. I studied less. I took another kaplan FL in feburary and got EXACTLY the same score again, which was disheartening. I pretty much took all of march / half of april off, and then restarted studying end of april. I then restarted studying in april, still part time. During this time, I continued reading kaplan, doing Khan academy practice questions, and anki.
Full time studying:
I started full time studying May 1. On average I studied 5hours a day on the days I had work, 8 hours a day on the days I didn't, took a practice test on Saturdays (reviewed half of it that evening (I really think you should review cars right after you take it, otherwise you loose understanding of the reasoning you thought). I would usually review the second half of the exam the following day, and only study 3-4 hours on Sunday.
This was a very succesful strategy for me. The PR class has you take an AAMC practice test as your baseline and I scored a 513 on this (130/129/127/127) which obviously I was stoked about and gave me a ton of confidence.
When my princeton review class started, I did the 3 hour class, the majority of the reading, and about 50% of the suggested practice. Occasionally, during parts of the class I really understood (like gen chem), I would practice other sections. During this time, I took a full length every week, did flash cards, read berkely review for the stuff I didn't understand, did KA practice questions, did the Kaplan / Blueprint Q-Banks. I did this for about six weeks.
For the last 6 weeks of studying, I finished up the PR class, and started AAMC. The other important things I did (which are kinda unique?) which I truly think helped me succeed are 1) I wrote out every single word of the Kaplan quick sheets by hand, 2) I wrote out every single word of the Miles Down quick sheets by hand, 3) I looked up the weirdest mnemonics for everything and texted them to my long distance SO / told them over facetime; Laughing over them and sharing them really made them stick 4) I read every single word of the JW content outline aloud. My roommates definitely thought I was crazy ( I definitely sounded it) but this definitely helped like 1000%. Legitimately, the bio question I am 100% sure I got wrong (and likely the reason I got a 131 and not a 132) was from the one sub-sub-sub section that I said screw it, this isn't going to be on the test.
I continued doing a practice test each week. I reviewed all of the AAMC materials.
For the week before the test I took things pretty easy, I reviewed everything super leisurely. Bio was still what I was struggling with so the only thing I did practice test wise was take the Sample Bio (which I got a 58/59 on so a 132). I didn't do the rest of the sample because I was feeling kinda burnt out.
A note about full lengths:
I took full lengths almost exactly in testing conditions: no referencing notes, wearing the same outfit (down to the socks), eating the same meal, same time of day, same weird whiteboard thing, wore a mask (you had to when I took it, not sure if its still the same) et.c. However, I did practice with certain (distractions). I tried to mimic, what happens if I had five minutes fewer due to a malfunction, what if my pen doesn't work, what if a loud alarm goes off, et.c. This allowed me to prepare incase anything went wrong.
My Practice Tests (in order, including ones where I only did a section):

Test Day
The day before test day I slept in a motel Literally in the same strip mall as the testing center. I went there the day before to ensure that I knew where it was and to ask them a couple of questions. While you only need one form of photo ID I made sure I had two just in case. I woke up early, did a couple jumping jacks, chugged an iced coffee (big mistake, I had to pee SOOOOOO badly during C/P (but maybe thats the reason for the 132, who knows)). Got to the testing center early (was the first one). I had pretty good timing for the test (except cars, had only like 4 minutes for the last passage). I finished P/S 40 minutes early, because I was tired and just done. However, I thought I FAILED when I came out of the testing center. No lie, I almost voided (THANK GOD I DIDN'T). I went back to my hotel, cried my eyes out, and went home.
Score result day:
Again, I thought I failed, I was very pleasantly surprised when I got my score back ( I also cried). Was super happy to NEVER have to take this stupid test again.
whew! That was long. Super happy to answer questions you all might have on my (insane, ngl) study schedule.

3) The Resources
As I said above, I used a F*** ton of resources:
- Princeton Review 513+ Guarantee Course (ok, I know people are probably going to think I'm a troll for this, but I really found it helpful (for the most part). Personally, I found their cars strategy to be super helpful (again I know people are going to think I am a troll, I promise I'm not). I also found their science videos / the biology classes to be super helpful (I knew actually 0 anatomy before studying). Our physics instructor was great, the psychology one was kinda meh. This class included all of the princeton review text books + online quizzes + vides + all the AAMC resources+ a couple other things I'm probably forgetting. If I had to do it again, I would probably have done a slightly slower paced class ( I did the five day a week, 3 hour a day class (probably would have done 4 days a week)). I also would NOT have gotten the 513 guarantee .
- Princeton Review Science Workbook (This was also from Princeton Review course). This was probably in the top 2 most helpful resources (besides AAMC). This book is probably 1000 pages of pure practice passages. I legitamately did every single bio / biochem passage and I credit it for 5 points on my MCAT. If you can only get one resource (besides AAMC) this is what I would get.
- Kaplan Review Books. Pretty Self Explanatory. I would rotate between reading these and the Princeton. These are less dense than the princeton ones and are pretty good if you already have a strong foundation. These also came with a qbank and some practice tests which I found super helpful.
- Kaplan quick sheets. This was included in the Kaplan Review Books, but also deserves its own line. This does a great job of summarizing all the major topics. In all honesty, if you are good at test taking and have this thing memorized fully, I truly think you can get minimum 508 on the test
- Blueprint full lengths + qbank. I found this one super helpful. I probably wouldn't have bought 10 tests in retrospect (they were having a sale), but I found that you could do sections of the tests to be super helpful for practicing sections of the test I was weaker at.
- Blueprint half-length diagnostic. It's Free! and a great place to see what your baseline is (don't waste an AAMC test on that)
- Berkeley Review (I got these for free from a friend). I found their cars practice to be super helpful. Their explanations are super in-depth which are really good if you are not getting a topic. I found their physics questions to be super good practice. I leafed through the biochem book a couple times, but otherwise didn't use them too much (mostly because I had so many other resources).
- Khan Academy. These have good videos for when you are not understanding something. The practice questions / passages are also pretty good.
- JackWestin Cars Pretty good to get a hang of timing, but the logic is not super reminiscent of AAMC. I did them for the first couple months of part time studying, but stopped for the most part once I got to full time studying
- AAMC content outline and Jack Westin Content Outline. Probably most underratted resource. The content outline gives you everything that could be on the test. You should at least look at it. Jack Westin has filled the entire thing out for you. It is SOOOOOOO clutch (literally this made up the other 50% of my success on B/B.
- Anki / Flashcards. I used milesdown. Thought it was good overall (didn't get through all the cards). Milesdown also has a review sheet that is REALLY good. 100% recommend. I also used an amino acid deck to really drill them (this I finished, and probably reviewed all the cards 5-10x). I also did a physics / chem equations flashcard deck.
- 100 page psych doc. I thought this was good overall. 300 felt too long / too detailed for me
- AAMC resources. All of them (except for ¾ sections of the sample, but that was because I was too tired, and found resting to be more important for my success). I also reviewed every answer.
Given the gigantic list of resources, you all are going to laugh, but probably the only thing I didn't use was UGLOBE, lol. Mostly, its because I ran out of time + I felt really good about my level of prep. A lot of people like UGLOBE but it wasn't for me. YMMV and it probably is a good resource, I just didn't use it.

2023.06.01 17:21 SufficientHat5651 My (31F) highly religious family is slowly slipping away from me and I'm struggling to cope.
So long story short, but I was raised in a high control, fundamentalist christian group. I moved out of the family home when i was 26 (this was taken poorly) and then pulled the slow fade on the church until they realized, (3 years later and post-covid)... that they hadn't "dealt" with me yet so I was officially booted from the group and its been two years since my parents have spoken to me.
I'm dating a non-religious man that I love deeply and they think i'm on a highway to hell and refuse to meet him. We are now living together and ring shopping. However, I feel that this situation has stripped me of some of the joy involved in moving to the next milestones in life.
The behaviour from my parents has been pretty bad, but i expected it to be this way. I have seen many other families go through this process although many of them found the separation too difficult and maintained links. My parents are very stubborn people and very devoted to the church principles of separation from the world. They have ultimately cut me off from their lives entirely and blame me for it. I have 5 siblings and while only 2 of them are officially committed to the church, I have spoken to all of them and we confirmed we wanted to maintain family links even if my parents wanted nothing to do with me. Often they do get the cold shoulder from my parents if its discovered they were spending time with me. There are times where I feel guilty about hanging out with my siblings knowing they'll get grief for it later. It also makes me feel like i'm a bad person.
To add to this, the sibling i was closest to, my brother, has suddenly grown cold. My other siblings are distant, but are very normal with me and its the best outcome I could ask for... but the sibling I was closest to did a complete 180 from having dinner with me once a month and being involved and supportive of my relationship... to avoiding my questions and barely responding to my text messages. He lives at home so I don't know how that dynamic is playing into things. He was once very interactive with my social media and used to send me memes all the time and that has suddenly stopped entirely. I wonder whether he's given up on trying to find a life outside the church and has effectively just leaned into the life that my parents want for him. I'd never pressure him out of that, but selfishly, I do feel anxious about the possibility I will never have any family outside of this organization.
One of my brothers had a baby and while my sister-in-law has been excellent at keeping in touch and sharing photos of the baby and inviting me over, i still feel lonely as I don't get to enjoy family time or birthday moments with them all... i'm sort of this forgotten side piece to the family that hears about get togethers but isn't a part of it.
It has been hurting me immensely and my self worth is seriously going down the tubes now that i'm being effectively closed out. I struggled with depression a couple years ago and I can feel the symptoms of that slowly returning so I've gotten back into therapy to help me cope.
There is this giant family shaped hole in my heart and it has left me in a place of grief. I feel this sense of anxiety and panic over not having anyone to call if my life falls apart. I feel very weak and lacking courage. Sometimes I even wonder to myself if I should have just endured a life in that tiny group (1000 worldwide) and just accepted that i would never marry or have kids for the sake of my parents approval. Its a stupid thought because I am indeed, happier now, but the guilt of betraying their expectations and values continues to weigh on me.
TL;DR Some support would be really appreciated. I feel embarassed at my inability to regulate my emotions but life really sucks a lot right now and I don't know why I care so much about people who seem to think i am an evil, self absorbed sinner with no moral compass or redeeming qualities.

I'm dating a non-religious man that I love deeply and they think i'm on a highway to hell and refuse to meet him. We are now living together and ring shopping. However, I feel that this situation has stripped me of some of the joy involved in moving to the next milestones in life.
The behaviour from my parents has been pretty bad, but i expected it to be this way. I have seen many other families go through this process although many of them found the separation too difficult and maintained links. My parents are very stubborn people and very devoted to the church principles of separation from the world. They have ultimately cut me off from their lives entirely and blame me for it. I have 5 siblings and while only 2 of them are officially committed to the church, I have spoken to all of them and we confirmed we wanted to maintain family links even if my parents wanted nothing to do with me. Often they do get the cold shoulder from my parents if its discovered they were spending time with me. There are times where I feel guilty about hanging out with my siblings knowing they'll get grief for it later. It also makes me feel like i'm a bad person.
To add to this, the sibling i was closest to, my brother, has suddenly grown cold. My other siblings are distant, but are very normal with me and its the best outcome I could ask for... but the sibling I was closest to did a complete 180 from having dinner with me once a month and being involved and supportive of my relationship... to avoiding my questions and barely responding to my text messages. He lives at home so I don't know how that dynamic is playing into things. He was once very interactive with my social media and used to send me memes all the time and that has suddenly stopped entirely. I wonder whether he's given up on trying to find a life outside the church and has effectively just leaned into the life that my parents want for him. I'd never pressure him out of that, but selfishly, I do feel anxious about the possibility I will never have any family outside of this organization.
One of my brothers had a baby and while my sister-in-law has been excellent at keeping in touch and sharing photos of the baby and inviting me over, i still feel lonely as I don't get to enjoy family time or birthday moments with them all... i'm sort of this forgotten side piece to the family that hears about get togethers but isn't a part of it.
It has been hurting me immensely and my self worth is seriously going down the tubes now that i'm being effectively closed out. I struggled with depression a couple years ago and I can feel the symptoms of that slowly returning so I've gotten back into therapy to help me cope.
There is this giant family shaped hole in my heart and it has left me in a place of grief. I feel this sense of anxiety and panic over not having anyone to call if my life falls apart. I feel very weak and lacking courage. Sometimes I even wonder to myself if I should have just endured a life in that tiny group (1000 worldwide) and just accepted that i would never marry or have kids for the sake of my parents approval. Its a stupid thought because I am indeed, happier now, but the guilt of betraying their expectations and values continues to weigh on me.
TL;DR Some support would be really appreciated. I feel embarassed at my inability to regulate my emotions but life really sucks a lot right now and I don't know why I care so much about people who seem to think i am an evil, self absorbed sinner with no moral compass or redeeming qualities.

2023.06.01 17:07 Senxbade Anyone experience throat and ear pain and or constant belching from GERD? what was the pain like etc if so
Doctor diagnosed me with GERD but I haven’t seen an ENT, non of my doctors seem worried but the subtle burning in my throat + the ear pain and globus sensation is driving me mad, I also feel like there’s air trapped in my throat/chest and I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar? What the pain was like and how you managed it, would really appreciate some advice, summer holidays are coming up soon and I want to find relief for my symptoms at least a bit, also would love to know I’m not alone in this :)
Also forgot to mention I have no difficulty swallowing, but it feels like there’s constant mucus in the back of my throat, the ear and throat pain comes on at random times of the day, I also have no heart burn, but like I said non of the doctors I’ve seen are worried about me at all, I just don’t get it, it’s been going on for 8 weeks and my anxiety is getting the better of me at this point… really hope I’m not alone and that I don’t have to worry I’m 19, drink occasionally, used to smoke for less then a year but quit, still vaping tho despite the fact it probably worsens my symptoms, personal issues make it tough to quit vaping.
I’ve been on PPI’s for two weeks and they don’t seem to be doing any good at all, also taking something to help with the reflux after eating. Going back to the doctor next Friday and gonna ask for an endoscopy

2023.06.01 16:33 Echopine After almost a decade, I finally cured my sleep-disordered breathing.
Sorry this is SUPER SUPER long, I need to write this out as a form of cathartic release and don't necessarily expect anyone to read it. I originally posted this in the UARS sub but my experience might help someone here too. There's a TLDR at the end which says what I did to fix it.
It's been a long and miserable ride but I'm writing this to let anyone who is suffering know that it can get better. It takes a buttload of perseverance which is difficult when you're chronically exhausted but there isn't really much of a choice for any of us in that regard is there? I'm now 27 and I'm bitter and angry at how this shit ruined my life but I made it through so w/e. Just to preface, I'm well aware what worked for me won't work for most. This is more about providing closure for myself than anything. I'd also like to state this experience has entirely changed my opinion of doctors. Hear what they have to say and work with them, but you need to learn everything you can to help yourself and absolutely challenge them on anything they say that doesn't feel right/you don't understand. If they react with patronizing hostility, then find someone else. Listen to what your body is telling you and recognise that your intuition is valid and important. Sure, you'll get it wrong a lot but you get better at figuring out what works the longer you work at it.
So this is what happened to me:
Just after I graduated uni I started feeling extremely tired all the time, no matter how much sleep I got. It's a special kind of tired I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with. One that feels like you've been drinking heavily after running a marathon. Weeks/months pass and that exhaustion compounds. The first two years were terrifying and I had fully accepted my life was over. Doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me and I was accused many, many times of lying or that I was just severely depressed. I was severely depressed but it was because chronic sleep deprivation is a mental prison. I went down the psychiatry route though and was on literally everything at one point or another, from Seroquel which left me drooling in a chair for a week to brintellix, which I equate to panic attacks in pill form. I also got a healthy xanax addiction from my psych who said there was no withdrawal. The fact he had a picture of Kurt Cobain on his desk should have been a red flag I guess. Granted, mirtazapine allowed me to keep my head above water but I got super fat, and only now that I've recently come off I realized it affected my cognitive ability greatly. I knew, even then, the root cause of my depression was sleep deprivation and I think it's important to note for anyone going through this now that no amount of antidepressant (even if it 'helps you sleep') is going to fix sleep-disordered breathing. This type of medication has its place and I'm not discouraging anyone from trying it but the previous point is important.
After barking up the wrong tree many times (psychiatrists, endocrinologists, neurologists, etc). I finally found an ENT surgeon. This was about 4 years in and by that point, I had little faith they'd be able to do anything. After an at-home sleep study and examination, the surgeon was extremely confident it was UARS. So for the first time in years, I had a glimmer of hope and booked myself in for a very expensive septoplasty, adenoid removal, and turbinate reduction op. At the same time, he referred me to an orthodontist who made a mandibular device to keep my airway open at night (also very expensive). Fast forward a month and I'm all healed but I still feel terrible. The mandibular device was worthless as well (in my case). The surgeon hands me a card for a counselor. Great.
So then I move on to CPAP as I now know through the sleep study I did I'm waking up multiple times a night due to increased respiratory effort. After a lot of trial and error, I'd say it brought me from feeling like shit to feeling meh most days. Meh was an incredible improvement, however, and I was very grateful. I lived like this for a long time. Things were good enough for me to work but only in the most basic roles. Pretty soul-crushing really considering I aced school in the hopes of becoming a marine biologist.
Last year I read somewhere that taking antihistamines (claritin) right before bed helped their UARS. The source was sketchy AF and I didn't really put much stock in it but I was willing to give anything a fair chance. And it worked. Uninterrupted, beautiful sleep for a few months. It really is quite incredible just how different I am as a person when I'm well-rested. Literally every aspect of my well-being improved. I was happy but also horrified at how long I'd lived in the braindead state UARS creates. 7 years is a long time to feel that way and it's left its mark.
The antihistamines of course stopped working. I tried many different types but none of them worked as well as Claritin did. This did however provide a key piece of information that would ultimately be the last piece of the puzzle. If I reacted so well to taking antihistamines before bed then allergies had a role to play in my breathing at night. Allergies to what though? I wasn't sneezing and I didn't have itchy eyes. Turns out a dust mite allergy doesn't present that way in everyone. I've lived with my grandparents (not because I want to believe me) almost all the way through this and the carpets haven't been changed in 30 years. I've also noticed my sleep would weirdly improve if I stayed in other places. I sleep pretty deeply in hotels for example. I was in a rainforest in Malaysia for a few days a while back and forgot my CPAP and slept phenomenally. Whether that means I truly have UARS or not I'm not sure. I still sleep with it as I haven't been able to recreate that anywhere else. What it does say is that it is subtle rhinitis brought on by a dust mite allergy that triggers my SDB and creates UARS-like symptoms. I'm now having the carpets replaced with hardwood floors, using mattress/pillow covers, and using Flonase every night. Breathe Right strips have also been an absolute game changer in conjunction with CPAP. Using them in concert has made me realize just how limited my nasal breathing really is, even after surgery. If you haven't tried it yet, I recommend giving it a shot. While I'm waiting for the floor to be replaced, I have the air intake of my CPAP placed directly by an open window which also has been working great. That's only a solution for summer though really.
And that's it. I sleep well almost every night now. The relief I feel both physically and mentally is immense but as I've said, this destroyed my life and fundamentally changed me as a person. I'd like to try and see the silver lining but it's given me so much baggage I don't really know where to start. I go to bed scared it'll come back every single night. Even the slightest hint of tiredness makes me paranoid. That's what therapy is for I guess. If you're reading this, I hope it helps you in some way. Shit sucks and I hope you find relief quicker than I did.
TLDR: FUCK UARS and I'm sorry for anyone who is dealing with sleep-disordered breathing. I'm cured and it was a combination of septoplasty, adenoid removal, turbinate reduction, CPAP, and finally an awareness of my dust mite allergy and the relentless use of breathe right strips and flonase.

2023.06.01 16:33 functor7 On the intersection of Pride and Math.
It is the beginning of Pride Month, and this year we're seeing a lot of organizations which have taken advantage of the post-Obergefell sentiments towards the LGBT community by throwing up some rainbow pfps distancing themselves in light of rising anti-LGBT sentiment and terrorist threats. These organizations didn't stand up for the LGBT community when it mattered, and they will reproduce this pattern now. Some may not know this, but the math community has - in the past - taken an active stance to stand up for its queer members and taken political action when it has mattered. That is, the intersection of LGBTQ+ history and Math history is not empty and not even measure zero.
The 80s were, to say the least, a very hard time for the LGBTQ+ community due to the AIDS epidemic and the complete lack of response from those in power about it. The medical community was slow to get research rolling and did not initially communicate with the gay community which made accessing proper medical care and information difficult. The Reagan Administration didn't even acknowledge the existence of AIDS for years, let alone invest resources into the development of treatments. The iconic Silence = Death poster is in response to the lack of action and acknowledgement for AIDS. Gay people were demonized and ostracized and the disease was seen as merely the "natural" consequence of their "delinquent" lifestyle. And arriving immediately after the religiously motivated Save Our Children homophobic activist campaign, AIDS was seen as a correction for moral degeneracy (weird how kids are consistently used to justify hate, almost like we could learn from the past...). By the early 90s, people had begun to take it seriously, but there was still a long way to go before people recognized the gay community as a community in need and struggling with a horrific disease. This is why pictures like that of Princess Diana showing compassion and touching someone struggling with AIDS is so iconic and important.
Point being, in the early 90s the LGBTQ+ community was struggling, not viewed with favor by the public, and finding themselves alone without any meaningful institutional support.
In 1992, Colorado voted on and passed an amendment to the state constitution which said that being queer was not a protected status. This meant that things like discrimination against LGBTQ+ people was totally fine and that violence against them would not be considered a hate crime. This was in response to many cities, such as Boulder and Denver passing laws in the 70s and 80s protecting LGBTQ+ people and functioned to strip away these rights. Coincidentally, the 1995 Joint Math Meetings were planned to take place in Denver. This would mean that mathematicians from around the nation (and world) - many of which are queer - would be congregating in a place that was actively unsafe for them. I think that the tragedy of Alan Turing should resonate strongly within the math community of what happens when we don't support those who are marginalized.
In response, two mathematicians - one gay and one just a real good ally - independently wrote and petitioned the heads of the MAA and AMS to move the JMM to a state which could protect vulnerable members of its community. This would not be an insignificant, easy, or cheap act. There would be backlash by those within the community who were less-than-understanding. Contracts and reservations are done years in advance with hotels and conventions spaces which the JMM would have to pay for breaking. And finding a new space and new bookings on a shorter timeframe would not be easy while all this was going on. That is, it would be not an insignificant cost to the AMS and MAA to move the meetings.
But the heads of both organizations met and agreed to move the 1995 JMM to San Francisco - a pointed decision given the LGBTQ+ haven San Francisco had consistently been and its history with Harvey Milk. This move ended up being a part of a larger dis-investment of organizations from Colorado. The state was branded "The Hate State" - a moniker we could probably bring back these days. Eventually appeals took this amendment to the Supreme Court which overruled it. Moreover the AMS and MAA have both made commitments to protecting vulnerable members of the math community as they now always have a "Change of Civil Rights Legislation Clause" in the contracts that they make for the JMM. As of now, the future JMM meetings appear to all take place in safe states.
When people say that math is not political, that identity doesn't matter, that it's all objective and just about proofs, or that we don't need to do work to resist the systemic injustices that infect all groups of people - including the math community - it's just clear that they are ignorant of their own privilege and ignorant of the history of math. Probably most prominently historically, the math community has struggled with antisemitism and has taken actions to both help and harm Jewish members of the community. The members of the AMS and MAA in the 90s knew the importance of taking risks to protect vulnerable members of its community and opening up mathematical spaces to them, and that mathematics is a political field and sometimes politicized statements are needed. And their action was not without internal backlash, the MAA even published dissenting letters which sound like they could have been written today (just replace "political correctness" with "woke").
The appropriately named mathematical LGBTQ+ organization Spectra came out of this action and provides a place for queer mathematicians to find community. They also do what they can to continue the work begun in the 90s. You can read more about this story and the founding of Spectra in this MAA article. The math community itself still has issues that it needs to work through regarding almost all marginalized groups and closing our eyes so that we blind ourselves to them under the illusion of "pure objectivity" is not the move. In general, mathematicians can take pride during Pride Month that - even if it still has major issues and work to do - that the mathematics community has it within them to take risks and act.

2023.06.01 16:30 Echopine After almost a decade, I'm finally cured.
Sorry this is SUPER SUPER long, I need to write this out as a form of cathartic release and don't necessarily expect anyone to read it. There's a TLDR at the end which says what I did to fix it.
It's been a long and miserable ride but I'm writing this to let anyone who is suffering know that it can get better. It takes a buttload of perseverance which is difficult when you're chronically exhausted but there isn't really much of a choice for any of us in that regard is there? I'm now 27 and I'm bitter and angry at how this shit ruined my life but I made it through so w/e. Just to preface, I'm well aware what worked for me won't work for most. This is more about providing closure for myself than anything. I'd also like to state this experience has entirely changed my opinion of doctors. Hear what they have to say and work with them, but you need to learn everything you can to help yourself and absolutely challenge them on anything they say that doesn't feel right/you don't understand. If they react with patronizing hostility, then find someone else. Listen to what your body is telling you and recognise that your intuition is valid and important. Sure, you'll get it wrong a lot but you get better at figuring out what works the longer you work at it.
So this is what happened to me: Just after I graduated uni I started feeling extremely tired all the time, no matter how much sleep I got. It's a special kind of tired I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with. One that feels like you've been drinking heavily after running a marathon. Weeks/months pass and that exhaustion compounds. The first two years were terrifying and I had fully accepted my life was over. Doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me and I was accused many, many times of lying or that I was just severely depressed. I was severely depressed but it was because chronic sleep deprivation is a mental prison. I went down the psychiatry route though and was on literally everything at one point or another, from Seroquel which left me drooling in a chair for a week to brintellix, which I equate to panic attacks in pill form. I also got a healthy xanax addiction from my psych who said there was no withdrawal. The fact he had a picture of Kurt Cobain on his desk should have been a red flag I guess. Granted, mirtazapine allowed me to keep my head above water but I got super fat, and only now that I've recently come off I realized it affected my cognitive ability greatly. I knew, even then, the root cause of my depression was sleep deprivation and I think it's important to note for anyone going through this now that no amount of antidepressant (even if it 'helps you sleep') is going to fix sleep-disordered breathing. This type of medication has its place and I'm not discouraging anyone from trying it but the previous point is important.
After barking up the wrong tree many times (psychiatrists, endocrinologists, neurologists, etc). I finally found an ENT surgeon. This was about 4 years in and by that point, I had little faith they'd be able to do anything. After an at-home sleep study and examination, the surgeon was extremely confident it was UARS. So for the first time in years, I had a glimmer of hope and booked myself in for a very expensive septoplasty, adenoid removal, and turbinate reduction op. At the same time, he referred me to an orthodontist who made a mandibular device to keep my airway open at night (also very expensive). Fast forward a month and I'm all healed but I still feel terrible. The mandibular device was worthless as well (in my case). The surgeon hands me a card for a counselor. Great.
So then I move on to CPAP as I now know through the sleep study I did I'm waking up multiple times a night due to increased respiratory effort. After a lot of trial and error, I'd say it brought me from feeling like shit to feeling meh most days. Meh was an incredible improvement, however, and I was very grateful. I lived like this for a long time. Things were good enough for me to work but only in the most basic roles. Pretty soul-crushing really considering I aced school in the hopes of becoming a marine biologist.
Last year I read somewhere that taking antihistamines (claritin) right before bed helped their UARS. The source was sketchy AF and I didn't really put much stock in it but I was willing to give anything a fair chance. And it worked. Uninterrupted, beautiful sleep for a few months. It really is quite incredible just how different I am as a person when I'm well-rested. Literally every aspect of my well-being improved. I was happy but also horrified at how long I'd lived in the braindead state UARS creates. 7 years is a long time to feel that way and it's left its mark.
The antihistamines of course stopped working. I tried many different types but none of them worked as well as Claritin did. This did however provide a key piece of information that would ultimately be the last piece of the puzzle. If I reacted so well to taking antihistamines before bed then allergies had a role to play in my breathing at night. Allergies to what though? I wasn't sneezing and I didn't have itchy eyes. Turns out a dust mite allergy doesn't present that way in everyone. I've lived with my grandparents (not because I want to believe me) almost all the way through this and the carpets haven't been changed in 30 years. I've also noticed my sleep would weirdly improve if I stayed in other places. I sleep pretty deeply in hotels for example. I was in a rainforest in Malaysia for a few days a while back and forgot my CPAP and slept phenomenally. Whether that means I truly have UARS or not I'm not sure. I still sleep with it as I haven't been able to recreate that anywhere else. What it does say is that it is subtle rhinitis brought on by a dust mite allergy that triggers my SDB and creates UARS-like symptoms. I'm now having the carpets replaced with hardwood floors, using mattress/pillow covers, and using Flonase every night. Breathe Right strips have also been an absolute game changer in conjunction with CPAP. Using them in concert has made me realize just how limited my nasal breathing really is, even after surgery. If you haven't tried it yet, I recommend giving it a shot. While I'm waiting for the floor to be replaced, I have the air intake of my CPAP placed directly by an open window which also has been working great. That's only a solution for summer though really.
And that's it. I sleep well almost every night now. The relief I feel both physically and mentally is immense but as I've said, this destroyed my life and fundamentally changed me as a person. I'd like to try and see the silver lining but it's given me so much baggage I don't really know where to start. I go to bed scared it'll come back every single night. Even the slightest hint of tiredness makes me paranoid. That's what therapy is for I guess. If you're reading this, I hope it helps you in some way. Shit sucks and I hope you find relief quicker than I did.
TLDR: FUCK UARS and I'm sorry for anyone who is dealing with sleep-disordered breathing. I'm cured and it was a combination of septoplasty, adenoid removal, turbinate reduction, CPAP, and finally an awareness of my dust mite allergy and the relentless use of breathe right strips and flonase.

2023.06.01 16:29 jluiscolon Establishing Safe Pneumoperitoneum in Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, has revolutionized the field of surgery by allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures through small incisions. One of the crucial steps in laparoscopic surgery is the creation of a pneumoperitoneum, which involves filling the abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide gas. This creates a workspace for the surgeon, enabling clear visualization and manipulation of the internal organs. However, establishing a safe pneumoperitoneum requires careful consideration and adherence to specific techniques to minimize complications and ensure patient safety.
https://preview.redd.it/854ew5222f3b1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23ed426829929f1799bb36ddf989b40abb115062
The first and foremost consideration in establishing a safe pneumoperitoneum is patient positioning. Proper positioning is crucial for both patient comfort and the surgeon's ability to access the surgical site. The patient is typically placed in a supine position on the operating table, with a slight Trendelenburg tilt to allow the abdominal organs to fall away from the diaphragm. Proper padding and securing of the patient's extremities are also essential to prevent nerve injuries and maintain stability during the procedure.
https://preview.redd.it/uchr90g32f3b1.jpg?width=777&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57525bf8f1059e14244ef1987bc2d826f8717e4c
Once the patient is adequately positioned, the surgeon selects the entry site for the initial trocar insertion. The most common entry point is the umbilicus, as it provides a central access point to the abdominal cavity. Prior to trocar insertion, local anesthesia is administered to minimize discomfort. Special care should be taken to avoid blood vessels, major organs, and previous surgical scars during trocar placement to prevent injuries.
https://preview.redd.it/t2oj74642f3b1.jpg?width=996&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6116781bbf2355b518952bd50e4ce3511ce72cfd
Next, the pneumoperitoneum is established by insufflating the abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide gas. This is typically achieved using a Veress needle or a direct trocar insertion technique. The Veress needle technique involves inserting a sharp, spring-loaded needle into the abdominal cavity, followed by the insufflation of gas. The direct trocar insertion technique involves inserting the trocar directly into the abdomen under direct visualization. Both methods have their advantages and potential complications, and the surgeon must choose the appropriate technique based on patient factors and the surgical procedure being performed.
https://preview.redd.it/guf3mbe52f3b1.jpg?width=777&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92ba6165d804d99d72bb93248dd87cd7eb693262
During gas insufflation, it is crucial to monitor the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). Excessive pressure can lead to adverse effects such as cardiovascular and respiratory compromise, as well as organ injury. The recommended IAP for most laparoscopic procedures is around 12-15 mmHg. Monitoring devices, such as a pressure transducer connected to the insufflator, are used to continuously measure, and regulate the pressure. It is essential to ensure that the gas flow is regulated and adjusted to maintain the desired pressure within safe limits.
https://preview.redd.it/512gf1262f3b1.jpg?width=777&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2cf8abed600673ce9da2af64d5c90cb8ae267bea
Another important consideration is the choice of gas used for insufflation. Carbon dioxide is the preferred gas due to its non-flammability, rapid absorption, and minimal risk of embolism. Alternative gases, such as nitrous oxide or air, should be avoided as they can lead to serious complications.
https://preview.redd.it/sie6ur072f3b1.jpg?width=777&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c42c7e03f0b3ad0364ce2c494906a922c1752271
To minimize the risk of complications associated with pneumoperitoneum, it is essential to maintain a clear visual field throughout the procedure. This is achieved by continuous evacuation of smoke and condensation from the laparoscopic instruments. The use of appropriate suction and smoke evacuation systems is crucial to prevent obscuring the surgeon's view and to minimize the risk of thermal injury from electrocautery devices.
In conclusion, establishing a safe pneumoperitoneum is a critical step in laparoscopic surgery. Patient positioning, careful trocar insertion, monitoring of intra-abdominal pressure, and maintaining a clear visual field are essential elements of this process. Surgeons must adhere to established techniques and guidelines to minimize complications and ensure patient safety. By prioritizing patient well-being and employing best practices, laparoscopic surgeons can optimize outcomes and provide the benefits of minimally invasive surgery to their patients.

2023.06.01 16:15 SSBluer_Frostimus Me (35m) and my girlfriend (21f) have separated (fully my fault) and I need advice on as I'm struggling with no-contact, how do you deal with these feelings?
I need some advice on this situation just due to me struggling with the no contact side of the break-up.
Short history of us, we have only been seeing each other since the very start of Feb 2023 but I fell head over heels for her the first time we met. We clicked instantly and rapidly became an item. Our thoughts and feelings matched on a lot of the same things in life and we truly appreciated each other and our time spent together. We were always open and honest with each other about our pasts and respected one another for it. Our feelings we're so strong for each other that it had made a bad couple of years for me seem like nothing, and I felt I was giving the same to her. The age difference wasn't a factor to us as our ways of thinking aligned so well it didn't even feel like there was one unless a third party brought it up. An important point to know is that due to her past relationships she was very upfront that no second chances would ever be given.
So the whole situation occurred when we recently went on holiday abroad to Spain a few weeks ago. The first few days we incredible and we had so much fun together, and it was also going to be my birthday while we were there. So comes the Friday night out we had planned as my birthday was the next day so we wanted to go out a celebrate on the nearby strip in one of the larger clubs. We went out with a larger group of women from our hotel that we'd met and after having plenty of pre-drinks at the all inclusive bar we made our way out to the club we had in mind. (Just to preface this we had also picked up some cocaine to use while out, just to open about the situation.)
So the first few hours in the club were amazing, having fun together and as a larger group, as I was the only man with them there was a bit of waiting around outside the womens loo's for the group to go and take photos etc but I was enjoying myself enough through the drink/drugs and made friends with the cloakroom guy to chat to during these times. As the night rolled on our group were starting to wind up so they popped down to toilets once more and I got chatting with another group (mixed but mostly younger guys and one woman) and after getting along I convinced my girlfriend we'd stay out a little longer with these guys. After seeing our group off outside we went back in to get more drinks (at this point we had ran out of cocaine and I was still drinking however my girlfriend had moved to water for a bit) and continue partying with the new group.
This is where the issues start.
After the first drink back inside I can't remember anything from that night. (for ease of reading I'll write it chronologically from what my girlfriend told me happened). So one of the guys in the new group had recently turned 18 and for some reason I asked my girlfriend twice if she would have sex with him, he was definitely not her type and I can only think I was trying to be funny and make a bad joke in that situation as I'm not one to share partners like that. She said I relayed it with a very straight face and it didn't seem like a joke at all. This then caused us to leave (around 3am) and go back to the hotel of which we must of argued on the walk back and I used her some of the things she had told me about her past, in confidence, against her in this argument (I have a text message saying this is what happened at that time, but this isn't something I've ever done to anyone before) and then my old stupid behaviours started to come out. Once we're back at the hotel I sat outside on the steps to the entrance and told her I'd wait outside until 5am then we could talk, I have other message that show I was there for a few minutes then went up to the room. When I got back to the room I was sick and she helped me during this, after that stopped I then went onto the argument again and doubled down on what I'd already said about her past earlier, then belittling her further by saying it wasn't as bad as my own trauma and issues (they are in no way related). My final stupid, idiotic, past behaviour was to then threaten to kill myself (just to note this is something I would never do but I have been working through these thoughts and feelings in therapy for over a year to fully understand where this all comes from, and on a day-to day basis these types of thoughts never cross my mind), of which scared her so she grabbed a duvet and pillows and sat against the room door so I couldn't leave, again helping me in the situation I'm being horrible to her in. The one memory I do have from that night is seeing her against the doorway with the duvet and pillows. Eventually I stopped and collapsed in bed until 4pm on Saturday.
Once I woke up my girlfriend had been up for couple of hours and sitting on the room balcony waiting for me to wake up. When I woke up she came in and I knew something had happened between us but I had to ask her to explain everything to me as I only had very fragmented memories after a certain point, obviously this upset and frustrated her further as I had no memory of the horrible things I'd said and done. Once she explained everything I was horrified and upset about all of my behaviour towards her, and I could see by the look in her eyes that I'd truly messed it up with her. At this point we still had a few full days left abroad and I became very withdrawn and sad around her even though she was still trying to bring the mood up and enjoy those final couple of days. I was so disgusted in myself that I had done any of that to her I couldn't match her energy.
Once we arrived home her Father picked us up from the airport to take us back to her family home as we had left my car there for ease of getting back home ourselves. She decided not to come back to my house and asked her Father to take her home instead under the guise I had work to do the next day and she had friends coming over.
This is where I let my emotions get the better of me and cause more strain between us.
She had messaged me to check I had gotten home ok which I responded to that I had but then sent a long apology message after that. We exchanged messages for a while with me apologising and her being understandably angry and disappointed with me, and also that we couldn't be together Eventually she went to sleep and advised me to do the same, I couldn't apart from a couple of hours in the early morning, and during those hours I was awake I kept messaging apologising or sending videos/photos that reminded me of us. She asked me to stop this and give her space, which thinking back I of course I should of respected, but my emotions were out of control from the fear of losing her fully and the remorse for what had happened so I couldn't stop myself. When she woke up she fed up of this and asked me to pack up her belongings from my house to bring over later that day. I agreed as it meant I could see her and try to talk it through. I went over and we exchanged belongings outside at my car, had a talk but she had friends over so didn't want to keep them waiting too long. We did hug and kiss and I told her I love her and she said it back. After this she just wanted the space she had already asked for.
I tried but again I failed and a couple of days later I had been sending her stuff on social media apologising, she had enough and blocked me on everything. I left it around a week and had a therapy session where I explained everything and discussed it with my therapist, of which there is still more I want to cover with them in my next session. I had been writing an apology in my phone during that week and I had purchased some gifts I wanted to give to my ex-girlfriend in person and read out what I had written to fully explain and talk through it all. I had also written it out in a card to her just in case she didn't want to listen to me. When I turned up at her door to give her the gifts, she was shocked, upset, and angry. She accepted the gifts and card but didn't want me to come in and talk through what I'd written, she said she'd read it in the card later on but couldn't have me around or inside. She said it was unfair I'd turned up, scary and put her on the back foot. I explained that I didn't mean it to come across that way and that I was accepting of whatever happened but I just wanted her to have these gifts and card from me. I left after about 10 minutes and that has been it since.
Everyday she's fully on my mind. I struggle to concentrate on anything else at work, at home, at the gym or when trying to sleep. The last few days I've been reading more and started journaling before bed to get my thoughts out of my head and try to get more sleep. I've accepted that the space is very important for both of us now but I fear that I've pushed too far already and a chance, however small, of reconciliation is gone. Accepting that also makes my heart and stomach sink every single time. I'm trying to follow all the advice from family/friends/therapist which is to concentrate on myself and start to get through it and whatever happens, happens. It's just not that simple, my emotions have settled but I still get upset everyday multiple times that we aren't together anymore. I know all of this is my own doing and I wish it had never happened at all.
Thanks for reading and any advice will be appreciated massively.
PS. Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes, hard to write this all out.
TL;DR - I messed up on a night out abroad causing an argument and then threw personal details my gf had told me in confidence back in her face due to my old shitty behaviours that came out when drunk/high. I feel so remorseful and disgusted in myself for it. I'm now struggling from seeing/speaking/messaging everyday to no contact and blocked on everything.

2023.06.01 16:03 officialdiscoking Smoking legal CBD in Krakow?
Hello! I'm visiting Krakow for the first time in 7 years, and I bought a CBD joint in a vending machine. My airbnb is a non-smoking place with no balcony etc. so just wondering.. can I go smoke this in the park somewhere or will people think I'm smoking a regular joint and call the police? :') I don't think CBD was legal last time I was in Poland so just wondering what the right way to go about this would be?

2023.06.01 15:55 valer85 Air Conditioning
I'm genuinely curious, without any offense.
As a tourist from Europe, when visiting the US I immediately notice that AC is a must almost everywhere , even if outside the weathetemperature does not require it. In my latest trip I remember feeling cold in the hotel lobby (I was in Utah), when the outside temperature was around 60°F.
In Vegas casinos (and some restaurants) I found the peak of this habit, an exaggerated use of AC. The temperature difference between outside and inside it's almost disturbing.
EDIT: just to better clarify my question: I don't want to know why the AC is used in general, I know what's air conditioning and why it's used, I was just curious about the reason why it's used at such a big temperature difference between outside and inside.
Is there a practical reason for this?

2023.06.01 15:54 Jujicake Urgent advice on hospitality booking gone wrong, can I sue?
This is quite a stressful post for me to make because it all happened just now. I really need any advice or help anyone here can offer. I have never in my life been in a legal situation and have no lawyers in my family. I’m generally quite ignorant about these things. I guess you dont know until you’re in a situation.
Basically,
Since 8 weeks ago, I made a dinner reservation for 24 guests at a known hotel in Scotland. I phoned up, explained my requirements for private dining and if they can accommodate this. They assured me it would be possible and that they do have functions rooms if that interests me. I made a booking for the area the restaurant manager suggested, it’s a private enough area but in the public grounds of the restaurant which suits perfectly. I asked for a two hour dinner, likely a starter and a main. I received a booking confirmation with photos of the area I selected. A few weeks later, I visit the hotel (it’s a 45 minute drive away from the city), and none of the managers were on duty. A staff member showed us the function rooms and the restaurant space we selected. We agreed that the space is better for our requirement and that the function rooms are not suitable. It’s only dinner so an event space doesn’t make any sense. The restaurant manager was in touch again, always sporadically and disorganised in their approach, with ‘spring menus’ explaining that these menus will change by the time the booking happens. So it made no sense why we received the menu in the first place. I answered all their questions about children and allergies. Then nearer the time, we kept receiving emails with different menus, I’d email back or phone asking which menus can we use, but kept getting told that they are due another change soon so to keep patient. This week, I emailed confirming the guest number and emphasised that i need to make the dinner choices and if im allowed to preorder to make it easier. I said I didn’t like the last menu I was sent as it looked very different from the previous menus I received and asked if I can choose from the previous menus. That was okay and I was given a preorder list. I enquired on the phone about bringing a cake and the manager I spoke to assured me it was welcome to do that. 72 hours prior to the booking, I get an email saying I need to preorder everything now 48hrs in advance and that I cannot bring a cake (I asked about bringing a cake gifted to me by a friend who is a baker) for dessert and that they wont serve it unless I order dessert as well?! Bear in mind, I am already ordering a two course meal for everyone with drinks. Finally, I get a random email on the same day from a different manager suggesting that I need to book a private function room instead??? I explained that that was already discussed and that I am not interested in changing my plans and invites to guests 48 hours before the booking!!! I’d also booked a non refundable room at this hotel… Bear in mind, I’ve spoken to 4 different managers since 8 weeks ago of making the booking. The last email at that point confirmed the booking with all the details with an outstanding query about the cake. One day before the booking (today), I get an email suggesting “since the events transpired since the booking, the event specifications do not suit as a venue. We regret to cancel your booking. We hope you find a suitable alternative.” Lmao imagine my reaction!!!!! I’ve invited people from all over the UK to come as the dinner occasion is my ‘going away dinner’ as im moving countries.
I feel that the stress and uncertainty of everything, paired with the unprofessional behaviour and inconsistency warrants some sort of legal action. They have no complaints system so I am quite stuck for what to do.
Please be kind and informative if you can. It’s been bloody stressful as it is.

Basically,
Since 8 weeks ago, I made a dinner reservation for 24 guests at a known hotel in Scotland. I phoned up, explained my requirements for private dining and if they can accommodate this. They assured me it would be possible and that they do have functions rooms if that interests me. I made a booking for the area the restaurant manager suggested, it’s a private enough area but in the public grounds of the restaurant which suits perfectly. I asked for a two hour dinner, likely a starter and a main. I received a booking confirmation with photos of the area I selected. A few weeks later, I visit the hotel (it’s a 45 minute drive away from the city), and none of the managers were on duty. A staff member showed us the function rooms and the restaurant space we selected. We agreed that the space is better for our requirement and that the function rooms are not suitable.

2023.06.01 15:44 LmaoPew [Ch. 1085] The Meaning of "Imu"
In the newest chapter 1085, we got more infos about Imu! and a T/N for us non-Japanese speakers about the hidden meaning of what "Mu" can mean!
"Mu" can mean Void, which could mean they ate the "Void Void Fruit" making themself appear black, like a void where no light can reach, like a shadow abnd they do look shadow-y, even their abilities kinda seem "shadow-y"...
but the "Mu" can also mean "dream" i bet that's a deliberate word play oda did to symbolize the connection with Blackbeard!
Because he, not only has the D in his name, which means he is very important (duh), but also the Darkness Fruit which might be perhabs a reference to the Void Void Fruit of Imu!5
But also that the first real encounter with Teach was before Luffy went to Skypia and they talked about how important dreams are also how VegaPunk talked about Dreams or rather the Will, that created the Devil Fruits in some way.
My theory is that Teach knows about Imu, just as Cobra did, and will encounter them at the last battle or will tell Luffy at some, cuz he needs Luffy' help. He might also not only want to become the Pirate King, but Rather use this as a stepping stone to defeat Imu and become the Ruler of the world, thus being the Free-est Man on earth, which is (unconfirmed, but heavyily hinted at) Luffy'S exact dream, but not to rule the world, but to help everyone become Free!
We know Luffy and Teach are the opposite side of the same coin, having the same idea but differant approach.
What do you think?? I'd love to hear your thoughts and theories!!

2023.06.01 15:43 Deep_Benefit 49 [M4F] #Berkeley - looking for FWB
Hello, I’m finishing up a divorce and not really interested in any serious dating. Hoping to meet someone who is looking for some occasional sexy fun. I really like being with a woman who knows exactly how she likes to be touched and gives detailed and naughty instructions as I aim to please. It’s been a long time since I kneeled before a woman and stripped her panties off then kissed her from knees to waist before licking her just how she likes it. I’m a 6’1” tall white guy with dirty blond hair in good shape. It would be really nice to have a couple drinks with a flirty woman and talk a little first. I am vaxed, non smoker,disease free, please be the same. 420 friendly but don’t like getting high before. I’ve always been attracted to petite brunettes. We can start chatting and share some SFW pics, whatever you’re comfortable with. I can host or come to you.
