Rent to own playstation 4

Good morning everyone,
​
Is anyone having issues where the game is running super smooth (running at 140 fps) then all at the sudden, the game drops to 5-10 FPS for 3 4 seconds, to go back all the way up?
i'm playing on a 3070 with a good cpu, its running at 40% load so i know its not bottle necked or anything. my drivers are freshly updated and everything.
​
maybe someone has found a fix for this issue? or maybe its just not yet optimized properly,? i asked my friends and no body else is having this issue.
​
LMK!

I would like to bring up my terrible experiences in Viet Nam. I have a Bachelor's of Science and a teaching license. I've been teaching in Vietnam for the past 3 years and I've worked at 3 particular "international schools" I would like to warn others about.
The first school: UTS (U.S. Vietnam Talent International School) as if the name isn't a red flag in and of itself.
I worked here right before covid. The contract was another 10 or 11 month contract so they can skirt around the labour laws. The pay was super low we're talking 50-55 mil and when I asked for a 12 month contract and higher pay they were shocked. The HR lady... Pretty sure in a relationship with admin. Anyway, the main problem was it was brand new so the school curriculum was quite bad. They had national geographic books and online resources for them which was great but they had their "supplementary curriculum" which they hired a PH.D. from the UK to write. It actually wasn't bad, but the level of our students was astronomically low and our syllabus would have "write 500 words" when what's expect of a B1-level English speaker is many hundred less than that. The curriculum was full of spelling errors and mistakes because they had locals follow his instructions and write it up. Honestly it had so many English mistakes it was pathetic. Almost unusable. I brought up these problems in a meeting about how the curriculum is full of mistakes, the rubrics don't make sense for the level, and the level of students is too low for them to be getting anything out of the curriculum as it is. You could have heard a pen drop. I made a presentation and everything and answered questions. A woman from the board rushed up and gave a pep talk about if we smile and we wear nice shoes we can achieve our dreams. I quit.
Next school: SNA-Marianapolis.
This school not only lost all but 4 teachers its first year but also the head of school in about 5 months and head of academics in 2 months. Marianapolis got played and SNA with NHG just completely took over everything. They bait and switched our contracts. They put us in unfinished dorms during covid and LOCKED THE WATER ON CAMPUS when they realized we were drinking it. We didn't have the tickets to go to the grocery store during covid... It was such a mess. Anyway, they're a biotech company that buys and flips schools. I brought up how they changed our contract in a meeting and they completely just blackmailed me. Used my emails against me, used my reddit posts against me (old account I had to delete) (yes they spy on you using the laptop they give you). Honestly they still screwed me over to this day telling other schools I'm "mentally ill" and "write antigovernment statements online." Avoid like covid.
The last one, APU - American International School (Da Nang).
So the director is the son of the woman who owns the entire school. She pretty much just has meetings all day about expanding while running the school on a shoestring budget. Teacher turnover is around 50-60% because they couldn't get work permits. I took over for Math and PE. Math... I took over from 2 other teachers and all they handed me was the student book from 2013. Literally a book I used in high school. Uh, where's the teacher book? How am I supposed to grade without it? If I assign odds then they have access to the answers and just copy. The director, while on one of his many vacations to the u.s. PHOTOCOPIED A TEACHER BOOK ON GREEN PAPER. Didnt even buy a copy. He photocopied the workbook like I asked too but like... My students pay $2000 a month and for what? PE I had 25 students and one net and 2 balls for volleyball. I had to buy my own net and balls..apparently covid delayed making the gym and they have a gym now but my god that was awful teaching past March without a gym. If you want to work at a school where the director is always on vacation, the principal is always subbing, and the owner is the greediest person I've ever met work here. My students were great though and a lot got into great programs.
It's my fault for not applying to good schools come Jan/Feb but I've just been trying to survive since covid. I've lost almost all love for teaching. I'm going back to school for computer science and working remotely. I can't take these schools in Viet Nam anymore they're absolutely disgustingly corrupt and my students/colleagues suffer the consequences of it while the board of directors/govt all make out like bandits.
Avoid this country entirely unless you get into a good school.

I am a part-time Uber Driver (5-20 hours/week in destination mode to and from work), and driver since 2015 with 2k trips. I currently drive a 2020 Tesla Model Y LR. I'd say >90% of the time I am using AutoPilot, and about >60% using FSD Beta, meaning that I disengage before turns that I think may be rough or in situations the vehicle isn't handling well.
As a passenger, I've been in a Tesla twice. First time in Nashville, TN. Driver did not use AutoPilot at all, I asked why, and he stated he felt it just didn't work well enough and wasn't worth the hassle. Second time from Bellevue, WA to SeaTac. Driver did not engage AP once the entire trip. He was on the phone with someone the entire trip, so I couldn't ask him why.
​
I'd say about a quarter of my passengers ask about the FSD Beta and I demonstrate and they are very impressed. Another quarter will notice half way through the trip and had no idea the vehicle has been driving on its own the whole trip. Some people ask if I ever use the function and are surprised to hear that I pretty much use it all the time. I've had one person request that I not use it because she thought it was dangerous, I pretty much just used cruise control and used AP on the long stretches of freeway and kept both hands on the wheel, I'm pretty sure she had no idea.

H (29m) and I (26f) have been married for 4 years. I had a great job in sales before covid, but we found during the pandemic that things just worked better with H at work and me at home (he earns enough to support us both).
I never thought I'd end up being a "traditional" wife, but given that he's the breadwinner, I sometimes feel as though i should pick up a lot of the slack at home. I'm not a great cook, but I'm sociable and enjoy being the hostess. When H has friends over to watch soccer, I prep a huge tray of snacks, keep the beers on ice, and pop in with drink and food top ups during the game. I don't stay to watch, but I do ask the guys how they're doing etc, just polite chit chat. They all seemed into it and often comment that H has done well to have such a great wife. It's a nice set up.
Last week, H came home with a beautifully gift wrapped box and said he'd got me a little something to wear when his friends are next over. I do my best to dress nicely when they're round, so I figured it would be a pretty dress or something. He had this huge grin on his face so I was SO excited. I opened the box to find a red latex mini dress and a ball gag. The gag was designed to look like a soccer ball and the dress is in his teams colour. I didn't know what to say at first, I was so confused (he's never been into anything like that, he's very vanilla). I asked if it was a joke and at first he said no and told me his friends wouldn't believe how lucky he was if I walked in with the snacks like that. I can't remember what I said next, but then he told me it would be hilarious if i wore it and I should lighten up. I gave it a nervous laugh and told him I thought it was funny too.
This morning, he'd put both items on my dresser and said he's looking forward to seeing me in them when the guys are round tomorrow. I reminded him that he said it was a joke, he got a bit sulky and said he can't believe I don't have a sense of humour. But from what he's saying, it sounds like he's expecting me to wear it? I'm so confused because 1) I don't know if he's done this as a joke because his friends think I talk too much, or 2) If he'd get off on me being humiliated. He says I'm being uptight and called me out for being an AH, but I honestly don't think I'm unreasonable. AITA?

In my own opinion I think women should wear it as it’s a big part of the religion (in my understanding) although I don’t agree with the forcing of it, I am thinking about how the slight enforcement (keyword slight) as discourage of committing haram in the first place could stop people of being lead down a path of haram, but this should be fines at most not the disgusting shit the Taliban are currently doing. But still talking about that almost no one has the morel high ground to enforce it, hope you can give more insights into this topic.

Greetings Reddit.
Some of you may have noticed a rise in people re-selling digital assets and resources on here?
As a resource supplier and designer myself, I pour my heart and soul into creating valuable content for my audience. It's disheartening to see the rise in people shamelessly re-selling pirated resources and software at heavily discounted rates. Not only is this a breach of user terms, but it's also actively hurting the livelihoods of genuine content creators like myself and many others.
Imagine this: someone pays £20 for a resource from your website and then decides to re-sell that file over and over again for just £5. Why would anyone bother purchasing from the original creator when such a "deal" is available? The sad truth is that pirated resources and software can end up in the hands of malicious individuals who love to embed viruses and malware into these files. The old adage "too good to be true" remains relevant for a reason.
Now, I know it might seem petty to bring this up, but when this behavior becomes widespread and goes unchecked, it creates a massive problem for content creators trying to make a living. It's not like selling a pre-owned piece of clothing or a CD, where the item is tangible and can only be sold once. Digital assets can be distributed infinitely, making the blow to the original creator all the more severe.
Please support the actual creatives and content creators whenever you can. It's important to recognize the time and effort that goes into producing quality resources for the community.
So, has anyone else here experienced this or something similar? What do you think about this issue

Have you heard? I love switches. I make frankenswitches on an almost daily basis. I enjoy mixing different materials to hear and feel the difference between one combination and another. Switches are almost like an advanced Lego stage, where sometimes pieces won't work together so one's creativity has to remain within certain constraints.

Let me say this, Primal Hunter 5 was a pretty good book, the treasure hunt was fun, and the end part of it is setting up the future nicely. I love the world, Jake, and the story.
The first 4 novels were a really great to listen, and so was 5 to be honest.
However the constant knob slobbing of Jake was just off the rails. The 2nd quarter and most of the 3rd quarter was just eye rollingly unbearable. I mean come on, the back of Travis' throat must have been sore after recording from all the praise and adoration Jake was getting from the narration.
It's like every other paragraph was "how great Jake is", "they didn't know the diffrence in power betweem them is", "hiw enlightened and cool" Jake is.
It's like Zogarth made his perfect husband idea and is just simping over him constantly.
Like we get it. Jake is cool. He is talented and the deadliest human alive. We don't need narration and the inner thoughts of randos every other paragraph to know that.
Zogarth has some really interesting and engaging fight scenes, which is very impressive considering he has to write them around an ranged character, and he should really let his fights do the talking for him over the narration. The battle between them and the Vampire King was a really excellent balance.
I mean everyone loves abit of praise and acknowledgement for a character who's achieving so much, but this is the first litrpg novel I had to pause a few times and take breaks from just to get over the cringe of certain lines.
Does anyone know if this get toned down in the written novels released? I am only audio book only for now, and will buy the future audio books regardless as this is not a major issue for me, as I live the series, but I am curious to know if I need to prepare eyedrops for any future books, cause I was rolling my eyes so hard on this one I think I hurt myself.

1. My principal calling me into a 1-on-1 to tell me she thought I had too many A’s in my advanced class. She called me down again the next quarter because she thought there were not enough A’s.
   
2. My (at the time) new department head was super stressed in her first year, so when it was time to teach the first quarter my teammates and I wanted to defer to the materials she already had so that she didn’t have to work as hard on new stuff. At interims she pulled us into a meeting with the Vice Principal and my department head actually scream-cried at us for “making her do all the work.”
   
3. Another Vice Principal called me into a 1-on-1 because I looked tired at an after school meeting and that it made him feel down during his presentation.
   
4. Another department head got mad at me for putting the same learning objective two days in a row on the weekly shared team lesson. He made me go apologize to every other team member in person for not being more conscientious about the importance of learning objectives. He even insisted on coming along to watch me.
   
5. A counselor told me I needed to change a student’s grade from failing to a D because the track team really needed him. I did it, and then that student did not even try out.
   
6. An assistant principal assigned me to be a lunchtime tutor to a student I didn’t teach, three days a week. Thankfully, the student stopped showing up after the second day and I never said anything about it.
   
7. Parents at back to school night shining laser pointers on my back every time I turned around. (Other parents told me about this later, via email.)
   

I (F24) am trying to get back I to work after completing a psychology degree a few years ago but then struggling with my mental health, especially social anxiety. I have bee struggling to find a job that has minimal social interaction that I was qualified for or that is entry level. In this time I met my boyfriend (M28) who works in accounts, he also has recently started a photography hobby and he is learning to edit his own pictures. I end up feeling jealous that he's so good at his job, he's good at maths and using Excel and he's also learned how to use his camera really quickly and use light room. I end up helping him with his hobby as a subject or answering his queries on if an image looks OK.
I've lost interest in my baking hobby as I don't even like to eat my own cakes, I was just making then for other people and I had expectations for what I wanted to achieve visually that I didnt meet and hit a brick wall because I realised I wasn't going to be able to make a living selling the creative cakes I wanted to make (the market is oversaturated).
Overall, I feel like I just end up seeking reassurance from everyone around me, especially my boyfriend, for what job I should pursue or what hobbies I should try and maybe use as extra money. My dad is very career advancement focused and I feel this pressure to do something "worth while". But at the same time I'm terrified of working in a role that requires a lot of social interaction, I have a constant innner monologue of I'm not good enough and being around people generally, for long periods of time, means I get chronic tension headaches tha can last for weeks.
I wish I had a stronger sense of self to be like this is what I enjoy, this is what I want to do and I have a plan. But I literally have no idea where to start. Right now I just want someone to tell me what I'm good at and mentor me, I know this is not realistic but it's a comforting idea right now as my mood gets worse and worse.

A few months ago I started including weightlifting in my workout program. At the time I was mainly doing hypertrophy style training, therefore I decided to combine the two. My goal is to improve my weightlifting numbers and to gain a little more muscle. I'm in a slight calorie surplus to gain about 0.5lb each month.
However this week I did a body fat measurement at my supplement shop and the results weren't very good. In January this year my stats were: 6'0, 182lbs, 8.1% body fat. This week my stats were: 6'0, 186lbs, 10.3% body fat. This means I gained 4lbs of fat and 0lbs of muscle. This surprised me, I expected less muscle gain than usual but I didn't expect zero. Now I'm questioning why I didn't gain anything.
My current workout split, along with example workouts, is the following:
Workout 1: weightlifting training with my coach. A general example:
Snatch 4 sets of 2
Snatch Pull 4 sets of 5
Back Squat 3 sets of 8
Push Press 5 sets of 5
Workout 2: upper body training at the local gym. At the start I do the Olympic lifts at lighter weights to practice technique. After that I do some exercises for hypertrophy
Snatch 5 sets of 3
Clean & Jerk 5 sets of 3
Weighted Chin-up 3 sets of 8-12
Dumbbell Press 3 sets of 8-12
Lateral Raise 3 sets of 10-15
Tricep Pushdown 3 sets of 10-15
Workout 3: lower body training, no Olympic lifts because it would be too taxing
Back Squat 3 sets of 8-12
Standing Calf Raise 4 sets of 15-20
RDL 3 sets of 8-12
Seated Calf Raises 4 sets of 15-20
Leg Extension 3 sets of 10-15
Hanging Leg Raises 3 sets of 10-15
Workout 4: the same as workout 2
Should I change something in my workout routine? Or is it simply not possible to make any decent gains at this stage combining weightlifting and hypertrophy?

In the world of cryptocurrency, there are various types of coins that serve different purposes and functions. Here are some of the common types:

1. Bitcoin (BTC): Bitcoin is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, often referred to as digital gold. It operates on a decentralized network and is widely used as a store of value and a medium of exchange.
2. Altcoins: Altcoins refer to all cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin. There are thousands of altcoins available, each with its own unique features, use cases, and underlying technology. Examples include Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), and many more.
3. Stablecoins: Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value by pegging them to an underlying asset like fiat currency (e.g., USD, EUR) or commodities. They provide stability and can be used for trading, remittances, or as a hedge against market volatility. Examples include Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and Dai (DAI).
4. Utility Tokens: Utility tokens are cryptocurrencies that are designed to provide access to certain products, services, or platforms within a specific ecosystem. They often serve as a means of payment or provide certain benefits to token holders. Examples include Binance Coin (BNB) and Chainlink (LINK).
5. Security Tokens: Security tokens represent ownership or investment in a real-world asset, such as shares in a company, real estate, or commodities. They are subject to regulatory requirements and provide investors with certain rights and entitlements.
6. Privacy Coins: Privacy coins are designed to enhance user privacy and anonymity by employing advanced cryptographic techniques. They offer enhanced privacy features, such as confidential transactions and the ability to shield transaction details. Examples include Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Dash (DASH).
7. Governance Tokens: Governance tokens grant holders the right to participate in the decision-making process of a blockchain platform or decentralized organization. They allow token holders to vote on proposals, suggest changes, and influence the future direction of the project. Examples include Maker (MKR) and Compound (COMP).

These are just a few examples of the many types of coins in the cryptocurrency market. Each type serves different purposes and caters to specific use cases, contributing to the diverse and evolving landscape of digital currencies.

I bought a pack of toothbrushes and was impressed with the quality and price (pack of 4 for Rs 75) till I read that it was made of wheat plastic. Read more into the material and it's basically a plastic like material made of wheat straw, 100% biodegradable ( can decompose in local industrial composting sites within 6-9 months or up to a maximum of 2 years ). Similar plastic can be made of rice straw and other fibers as well. The only problem? It was imported from China.
It's a win-win situation for a highly agricultural country like India so what is stopping us from adopting this? Why are entrepreneurs not seeing this gap in the market?

One of those days today when you have the whole range of trans experience.
A real powerful moment supporting a student in his own journey and providing the validation that only our experience can have. Seeing their admiration and the positive impact of my struggle on them was one of the highlights of my career.
However, discrimation at our school is never far away and only a couple of hours later I'm dealing with year 7s harrasing me and yelling proudly in class that they are transphobic.
In the face of this a group of colleagues have been very vocal in there support and decided to speak up to the principals on my behalf about the need for more action.
Overall I was feeling fairly good leaving work even despite the harassment today as the positive clearly outweighed the discrimination and this one student showed that my challenges can and are making a positive difference.
Yet dysphoria is never far away and all it takes is being continually missgendered at a restaurant to trigger a spiral. Obviously the effort and practice I put in to my make up and voice aren't enough. As result just end dwelling on it all which reinforces my delay in starting HRT and has left me in a bit of a hole.

Dear friends,
I'm writing this post with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes. Recently, I was deported from the country I've called home for years. I never thought this could happen to me, and now I'm struggling to make ends meet.
As an immigrant, I worked hard to provide for my family and be a contributing member of society. But now, I find myself in a new country, unfamiliar with the culture and the language, and without any resources to help me get started.
I'm putting my pride aside and humbly asking for your help. I need assistance with food, water, and rent. Every little bit helps, and I'm grateful for any support you can provide.
If you have the means to donate, please know that your contribution will go towards keeping a roof over my head, providing basic necessities, and helping me to get back on my feet. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to me, and I'll never forget the kindness of those who helped me in my time of need.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and thank you in advance for any support you can provide.
Sincerely,
A hurting stranger
