2023.06.02 13:53 MiserableRadish896 AITJ for not going to my friends graduation party because her fiances dad is a sex offender
I (16F) am friends with Mandy (fake name, 19F). Mandy is engaged to her partner Harley (fake name, 18F). Now I am very supportive of their relationship and am very happy to welcome Harley into my home. For the past couple of months I have been helping them plan Mandy's graduation party. I texted her today to see where the location they chose was, when they said they didn't know I suggested a park. Mandy said they can't have it at a park because Halrey's dad can't be near parks. When I asked why Mandy said that Harley's dad was a sex offender. Now I have a 4 month old little sister and a 11 year old little brother. So I decided that it would be best if we didn't go because my mother (34F) and I do not trust people who have a sexual criminal record. Mandy said I am overreacting and told me not to contact them for a while. AITA?
Edit for context: Mandy and I are very good friends and have been for a very long time. My little sister was my daughter until I decided to allow my mom to adopt her, I am going to job corp on the 28th and puerto rico on the 19th. She was there through out my entire pregnancy. But when her partner came into the picture she focused on him and pushed me aside. My partner, Eric (fake name, 17M) is uncomfortable with Harley because he isnt used to people like Harley. Eric was told he cannot go to the party because of this. Which I was fine with until Mandy started talking crap about him. Eric is civil with Harley and doesn't talk crap about them and doesn't try to hurt their feelings. Mandy has stated that she understands why Eric is uncomfortable with Harley. All of this because Harley tends to be very cuddly with Mandy at my house, in Eric's house, and in public. We have asked them to stop but to no avail.

2023.06.02 13:52 miss-knows-nothing What *easy* things can I do to gain skills for my resume?
I want to make more money. I dont really have a path or idea of how though.
I'm 26F. I graduated college at 19 with a Bachelors in Event Management. I think I got pushed into the work force too early and lost myself. I got a job after graduating as an event coordinator only was offered 30k a year, hours were awful, and I ended up only staying 3 months and leaving. I hated it. Since then I have worked in Customer Service & Fraud at a major bank for $15hr. Then I worked as a finance coordinator at a furniture store $15hr, resident accounting assistant at a pre-release center $15hr, mail processor at an insurance company $15hr, then my current bank mail processor $17hr but 6 months ago got promoted to a lead position in data entry at $22hr. I dont like leadership. This isnt the direction I want to go in with my career. I don't want to climb a corporate ladder at a bank and lead people.
The only things I think I could like is running a business (always dreamed of opening my own travel themed museum), doing accounting (I did really well with my accounting courses in college), or doing something related to traveling. I love planning road trips. I have a travel based blog. Doing something related to travel would be amazing but havent found anything.
I feel like I should be making $50k a year considering how long its been since I've graduated. I dont have skills though to get me there. I have about $8k saved and I want to put it towards advancing my skills somehow. This could be classes at a community college, or whatever. I do work full time so it can't be something that tampers with that though because I still have bills that need to be paid. I live in Fargo, ND.
Any tips?

2023.06.02 13:52 ElephantBubbly9858 20F “breaks up” with me 20M
To start things off I am a 20(M) and my gf is also 20 years old(F). We have been together for 1.5 year and I’m her first and she is my first.
From the beginning of the relationship I made her feel the love that I had for her by complimenting her on a daily basis, giving gifts (she also did that) and by doing “gentleman” things (that I really enjoy doing and making her feel important). She also made me feel loved but she rarely expressed it with words.
Not longer than two weeks ago I communicated with her some issues that our relationship is facing in my opinion. I told her that I know she loves me but she doesn’t really express it. FYI she rarely gives me a compliment even though I always tell her something genuine and she hasn’t said “I love you” even though she responds “me too” when I say it. I also told her that I would like her to call me to speak instead of just texting as I really enjoy doing that and hearing her voice.
To add more context, the relationship has been facing a rough patch as most of the days I am away due to work (I come back every weekend though) and we have been spending less time together also due to the fact that she is studying (uni) something really difficult.
Fast forward to 4 days ago, when I went into our hometown as I had a day off, she broke down crying and told me she feels disconnected due to all of the above and told me it would be better if we stopped seeing each other as a couple. She told me she is really confused with all the things going on in her life. I asked her why don’t we try to have a conversation and find a solution for all of our problems instead of destroying our relationship with the first chance. She didn’t respond to me with anything meaningful and I told her that I would still like to try to fix things. The night ended with her asking me via text if I arrived home safely (sign of interest).
The next day she sent me a DM asking me how I feel and stuff and I asked her why do you make it more difficult for us. She responded that she is confused and she doesn’t know what she wants with all the things going on in her life (referring to all the uni stuff and to some minor health issues). We had another talk via phone call and she told me that she would like to try the relationship by giving it a “break” like to do not talk that much but still behave as a couple and do things normally, I agreed even though it hurts thinking someone you really love doesn’t want you 100% in their life. I have made my fair part of mistakes and I can say that I was kinda clingy but never something too serious to deserve this kind of treatment.
For the first two days after this conversation it was all good, now she goes nearly radio silent again (I understand she has things to study for but she is making 0 effort for us) and I feel betrayed by her acts (breaking up instead of trying). Basically I feel she agreed to have this less contact period (break) due to the fact she saw how much she hurt me and her (I probably made a mistake by communicating how I felt). Last detail, she told me that after we “broke up” she cried for hours and felt really sad.
I have invested so much of my time and feelings into this relationship and I don’t know what to do. I also finish work in 2 weeks and we would be seeing each other every day.
TLDR; Girlfriend feels disconnected and destroys a relationship for no great reason.
Is the relationship worth fighting for after all this or is it long gone?

2023.06.02 13:50 IncognitoGirlie SH state of mind
When my SH was more mild it was like an escape, I blocked everything out & there was this empty calm after & it seemed to make all the internal conflict much better & ok like righting a wrong or something. But now it’s gotten more severe & it stresses me out so much it’s like I turn off & go far in my mind to just let myself go. I start doing it with the intent of hurting myself severely until I’m overwhelmed completely, so sometimes I’ll SH in many ways back to back until I’m frozen with exhaustion or a state of shock, I feel helpless to it but that’s why I like it. It’s like a trance to mindlessly ruin myself & at the same time scream & cry inside continuously but I don’t want it to stop so I just let it go on. It’s like a game to see how much I can take before I breakdown, & I feel better about myself the more I can take without saying anything, I never even go to the hospital if something goes wrong.
& after sometimes I’ll take pictures of myself, never the harm usually just the horrified look in my eyes. It’s almost like the only reason I SH is to go into this state or shock myself severely, I want to be affected. I go deep sometimes & it’s often terrifying, & it doesn’t even hurt much anymore not nearly as much as it should. I like the fear & feeling helpless to stop the blood & when I feel frozen, but then suddenly I know how to make it better. Sometimes I just want to dig into myself as far as I can & Idk why, it’s not cause I deserve it & it’s like I don’t mean it but I just need to destroy myself. Sometimes it makes me feel sick like I can’t believe I was capable of that, but then I wish I’d gone deeper. I have a fascination with ruining a part of myself or just destroying myself beyond what I ever imaged.
& It’s like I don’t exist when it happens, I just feel like I’m floating away or something & it’s the only thing that’s felt right in a long time, like it’s where I belong. It’s the only time I feel ok in this world or thankful to be alive wether I’m doing ok or not.

2023.06.02 13:50 Cute-Peaches Tips to 36* Abyss without whaling, by a non-whale (only welkin buyer but F2P options)
 | Well, hello, fellow player! submitted by Cute-Peaches to Genshin_Impact [link] [comments] I read a lot of comments of people complaining on how difficult this abyss is. As much as I agree with all of you, I got a little overboard and tried multiple combinations until it worked a little too well - I finished with 17 seconds remaining. The key to this abyss is either CC, Aoe strong dps dmg and Xiangling+Bennett. With this team, it took me five times only; and I can try to help you do a budget one if you don't have these characters: You can also use Nahida insead of the Traveller to make it work; I tried the budget one to see if it would still be doing big numbers and it is. Keep in mind that Childe, Wanderer and Kazuha are min-max to make them extremely good because I either main them or I really love the character. https://preview.redd.it/cc4onx5hok3b1.png?width=246&format=png&auto=webp&s=dd5c7784cbc8ce9a885030a654e4ed1193921cee All my important builds are here too. I will not recomment the same characters in both floors. --- x --- First Half: https://preview.redd.it/a1emcxfk9l3b1.png?width=584&format=png&auto=webp&s=6fddb0cc56aba78e3e2ae21b6a6b4693f21158e4 . Childe can be replaced by Ayato or a really good Yelan/Xingqiu (need good RNG for Yelan/Xingqiu and they need to hit like a truck). . Lumine can be replaced by Nahida (I changed because I wanted to try) or Collei. . Kazuha can be traded for Sucrose. . Kokomi can be replaced by Barbara. Keep in mind that, again, I did not whale for any of these characters - I simply saved enough for them and farmed their domains for too much time. Skyward Harp / Viridescent Hunt / Thundering Pulse / Aqua Simulacra / Blackclif Warbow are all good options. I tried with my Boyfriend's Childe (who is not C4) and it worked well enough to pull this floor I think. --- x --- You want to make sure you have a pretty solid AOE DPS or EXTREMELY good CC. Both would be great. I chose Childe Childe has HoD artifact box available for you if needed - his new artifacts are a pain to farm, so I am still using his HoD build which is awesome because it does its job. PSA - Kazuha and Lumine run with +180% ER. Kokomi uses R6 Thrilling Tales for buff porpuses, so she needs to be the one you use before your DPS IN EVERY ROTATION. -- Examples of characters that I think it will work instead of Childe for AoE//DPS dmg - keep in mind that I do not have most of these so I cannot try them out for myself. . Ganyu reverse meld. . Kaveh or Nilou Bloom Team (I am not sure if it does its job, although I really think it can). . Mono Geo Team + CC. If you go with Bloom, you want to apply as much hydro as possible - Childe/Kokomi/Xingqiu/Yelan must be in your team, at least one of them. You can try Mona, although I do not think she will do the job. -- Examples of characters that you can use to CC any enemy on the first Half: . Sucrose - just slap a bunch of EM VV pieces (artifact box might help) without caring too much on the substats and you are good to go, . Kazuha, for obvious reasons, . Anemo Traveller - It is a little tricky and I think it is the worst option you can come up with (because Dendro Traveller with any hydro dps unit is amazing and underrated), although you can still try, . Venti - Keep in mind that Venti and Childe do not work well in this abyss together. Unless you use all the time his melee range dmg and you have C6 Childe. Second Half: https://preview.redd.it/jrx4dwsjal3b1.png?width=567&format=png&auto=webp&s=b5c471e2273b28e1a87745098c111d49bbc9678e . Wanderer can be replaced by any fast dps who is not hydro, cryo nor exclusive single target - Xiao, Cyno, Raiden, Yae Miko (maybe), Keqing (maybe). . Layla can be replaced by Diona perfectly fine, Zhongli, Baizhu, Tohma or Kirara (maybe, I did not test her shield long enough). I recommend Layla, Diona or Zhongli tho. If you have a DPS that doesn't suffer from stagger like Wanderer, you can either try Raiden as sub dps or Qiqi for heal. . Xianglig cannot be replaced. . Bennett cannot be replaced. If you do not have bennett, try using Klee as a support with thrilling tales and placing her bombs near abyss cryo hearld (really good RNG is needed) or Lisa with thrilling tales. You will need a good shield or Diona healer for this to work. Barbara is not recommended (you can try Kokomi if you have another option for her on the first half). Wanderer also works if you have solar pearl or widsith with him! I'll admit, I genuienely though this team could not work well at all. Yet, it hit like a truck. Wanderer is only here to apply damage as fast as I can while Xiangling, Bennett and Layla recharge their bursts between his skills; extremely high remanding ER team. PSA - None of these characters, except Wanderer, run with less than 190% ER. Bennett and Layla use Sac Sword (you can change for a favonious if you have at least 50% crit rate) and Xiangling can either run with The Catch R1 - R5 (F2P option) or any 5 stars you end up having laying around, really. Deathmatch is really good on her too. You want to start with Bennett burst > Xiangling Burst > Xiangling skill > Bennett Skill (if it activates twice due to his sac sword, even better) > Layla Burst > Layla Shield > Wanderer spam. The rotation is kinda wonky - just have fun trying to figure it out tho, it can be a little difficult to understand without the proper ER. When you take out the abyss mages, you should have at least Bennett burst - use it the moment it pops up to be ready to use all the time. You don't care if the shields are up yet; Wanderer (or your dps) will do the job to finish them fast enough. Weak side of this team: . Wanderer dies all the freaking time. Be ready to scream at him. All the time. He's a freaking paper - then, you should use his passive in your favor. Run! Run mid-air while he hits the enemies. Make sure Layla has the shield up; the moment it does not, run and change asap and do everything again. If you have a really good WandereDPS that can hit like a truck really fast... . You don't need a good Xiangling. Mine sucks. Her talents are 7 or less. I never ever used her before this abyss, basically. I slapped everything I had laying around from Yoimiya, Hu Tao and Klee and just call it a day. 4PC crimson or 4PC emblem is perfect. I just leveled her up to 70 - 80 just yesterday! . You don't need a good Bennett. You need an average one that hits pyro, has a lot of ER. Just make sure he has Nobless Oblige. . You don't need a good Layla. Slap a bunch of 2pcHP% + 2pcHP% or 4pcTenacity and you are good to go. If you have any HP weapon, even better. If not, it will work. Mine is only lvl80. -- x -- It can take a few attempts but you can do it!! :) And if not, that's fine. These are just a bunch of primogems and I love challenging myself with the few characters that I have. Do not stress over 50 to 150 primogems. It is not even a single wish. Your happiness is more important than a gacha. :) Feel free to check out my profile and builds - 718623462 IUD (Europe). If you want, Akasha System has (almost) all of them. The ones I don't have there are really garbage (Lumine isn't that great either but oh well). I am the type of player that saves for 8 months for a Childe/WandereYoimiya rerun and just grabs constellations of the ones I main. I am not a collector nor build every single character. That is why I can do the abyss a little easier - my Childe took me an year and half to be like that and it is not complete yet. Any questions, please do! It took me way to much time and it is not done properly, but I tried my best :) Hope it helps~ |
2023.06.02 13:48 OnePoet6601 tips for bringing a senior dog home
hi so I'm looking at adopting an 8yr old Rottweiler x blue heeler from a shelter near me. I don't have much experience with senior dogs, so are there any tips on making him feel comfortable with the change in environment? I'm also wondering how much I should be training him/ if that varies with the age of the dog.

2023.06.02 13:47 Beneficial-Touch-399 UPDATE: Do I (26F) end it with my emotionally cheating boyfriend? (26m)
So, despite being advised to end it with my emotionally cheating partner of nearly 8 Years, I chose to see whether we could work or if he could change.
We didn't and he didn't.
Unfortunately, the trust wasn't mended and instead I was met with further white lies- they all added up eventually!
We broke up four weeks ago. It has been hard. Messages have been mixed among the way, but I''m finally at a point of 'no going back now'. Funnily enough, I expected him to 'chase me' and fight for us- oh, how I was wrong!
However, it has made me realise a lot about hos actions after the break up. After scrolling through mountains of sentimental and empowering quotes and videos about relationships, the reality was that, due to his emotional cheating with his ex-colleague, he'd been experiencing a break up from his pretend/fantasy 'situationship' and doesn't care because of that.
Once day, I think he will realise the loss. But, unfortunately, I'll have moved on already by then.
So, if you think your in a situation like mine (read my prior post), get yourself out of there and find your worth.

After scrolling through mountains of sentimental and empowering quotes and videos about relationships, the reality was that, due to his emotional cheating with his ex-colleague, he'd been experiencing a break up from his pretend/fantasy 'situationship' and doesn't care because of that.
Once day, I think he will realise the loss. But, unfortunately, I'll have moved on already by then.
So, if you think your in a situation like mine (read my prior post), get yourself out of there and find your worth.

Is this how iamverysmart works: shoot first and ask questions later? or kill everyone and let God sort everything out? I come to Reddit and pour some deep feelings and thoughts because it is one of the few places where I could, where it fit, where I could improve others and start making a change in the world or show by how it was wrong.
u/Physix_R_Cool posted this because he could not correct me. I almost never get corrected on my comments, many attempts but failures. Everything I write is deliberate. I spend a huge amount of time in dictionaries [of many kronolects and languages] so I know where words come from, what they meant, which were lost, and how the world corrupts them. My reform spelling respects Great Vowel Shift and original languages; I also leave out the Norman yogh in words; you can find the last two spellings in the etýmologhic stems.
So explain the problem and talk about your fears past the "ho ho ho my" and mockery. I was banned from Physics and AskPhysics and Evolution by tyrants who don't care about the truth, and how it's much more important than saving people's feelings. I talk suchly to fulfil a need, a very deep one. As a living being (No, I don't consider myself human, but do consider myself very alive.) I take up and roam through whatever and however much space I'm given and seeing, even if it's inner or madeup space. If I am hindering the needs of others on this website, they have not formerly expressed their needs. They often meet me with rashness and, because they have some power and I have none but my words because I am a forever visitor, they would cut me off in some way rather than talk in kind. Somehow I respect engagers for this, because they make an effort to understand, rather than handwave or run or flagrantly insult. If one could not choose which and whom to respect, and preferred to respect all or none, then one could not properly treat or assign worth, work, and time for the subject, which would hurt one's goals. It's not about waiting for another party to make the first move, but treating as one sees and goes.
How do I define who I am? I am like nobody other in the world now or ever. Most couldn't know what life is like with a IQ over 170, to be different to and fro every age-peer group and to find everyone of every profession and background to be beneath you and beset with lackwitted, mistaken, misspoken, and assbackwards soloicistic trash, scum, and crooks. How almost every statement everyday by everyone in this postEnglish Norman Conquest Commonwealth drives me mad. How I am the only person in the world who knows what is wrong with it and with everything. What makes me better than any random wacko on the internet or on the street is that I can explain specifically what one has done wrong, where this one is even the standard of common sense or custom if only by fiat but not self-scrutiny. To make the world a better stow one must get rid of the trash. I want to incite some riots and revolts besides the dozens of other things. I post on the internet to shut up opposition, who are mainly miseducated.
Something I promise is that if everyone thought and behaved like me, the world would be perfect, someday. This is because I try to take advantage of everything I have to have more, and so I get what I want. Others do not so they're not getting what they want. This group looks like it's divided between people who would choose either fight or flight, but not both. Many on Reddit, admittedly being awkward with people and socialising, prefer not to take advantage of the fact that we are living, reading, and talking beings and so do not fulfil the means to the end by using like for like. As if I were a weed that's grown too much they go behind and cut me out, instead of telling me what they want and fear of me, why, and how, if they can. Their approach has many qualifications. What about nonbilious arrogance, variably correcting, or specifically being? If one does not give the limits, there are none, and whatever one has planted will go and grow forever. And it will have no idea what you say if you say you meant otherwise.
I'm wronged everyday by the rubbish people say and do, and can't stand them. Any preface put in my corrections is a waste of time, obvious to me by the sheer lot I must always do. I have known everything the ilk here were to tell me, and expected such a sorry solution. Civility and polity are a problem, grounded on liges and brainwash. I have many skills, and socialising is one of them. However, I do not use what I should not. Niceness, respect, and generosity must be earned. People do not know that, and blindly treat each other as how they'd like to be treated, rather than how they deserve to be treated. I don't go to social functions because it's a waste of time; I've much better things to do like plot the end of mankind, mores, and the daily lies that plague my experience. I pick who can accept me, and when, because I can. I won't ever identify with such a blind and sweeping label as "socially[-]acceptable." I fully intend to be the reincarnation and revenge of Hypatia of Alexandria and William James Sidis.
And even now, so many refuse to read my appeals. My comments are not to bother but to correct. I do not offend unless I've been offended, more, and nearly everyone offends me. Is it because you lot hate feelings or meanings or anything put eloquently? Do you also not use maps, manuals, or menus and just act on your own? Right now many are lying about me, and threatening the victim rather than the offenders who attack me. Not that I'm not used to being abused like this, by people who have no idea what they do and who don't care.
In any case, I expect neither flames nor thankfulness from my corrections. But I still expect people to imagine something that isn't real from something as unassuming as "it's -> its," from their weak and flaky constitutions. You many should know that what I expect doesn't make it good or bad, or right or wrong, neither does what anyone else expects. People's actions or reactions, no matter how many and many people they come from, are no reasons in and by themselves to establish a standard. If they cannot back themselves up with reason, they have nothing.
I have already thought of everything that all those here have, and they needn't be told to me. As such, I expected everyone to reply as they have and furthermore increase my contempt for the sheer and unending ignorance, meddling, and self-trapping of mankind.

2023.06.02 13:47 Steiny31 Phosphates update
So I had a previous post asking about phosphates…
tldr; phosphates aren’t critical but eliminating them absolutely can make it easier to keep a pool sanitized. It definitely did for me.
I had a leak for a half a season during which I was replacing a lot of water, low CYA, and bad chlorine, leading to a couple algae blooms. After fixing the leak and getting the water balanced, I thought I had everything good, but it seems I had a chlorine resistant yellow algae, that would grow in very small quantities on the walls of the pools. I slammed 3x - chlorine at ~25-ppm, CYA 30-40, and held for 24 hours after meeting the criteria. Every time the algae would clear up only to return 1-2 wks later.
I tested phosphates and found them at 1000-ppb so I decided to try addressing them. Removing the phosphates took 1/4th of a $30 bottle of chemical, 3/20 tests in a $10 kit, a filter backwash, and very little time- so it was easy and cheap as far as I’m concerned. The result is fantastic. Over the last week, I’ve kept my chlorine at 2-4-ppm, and brushed walls once. All of the remaining mustard algae has disappeared on its own. I’m firmly on board with removing phosphates now.
A couple notes, the pool store stuff is often watered down, it’s worth it to look at the labels. Also, I will not be adding a maintenance dose of this chemical to my pool, as it’s a waste and possibly will cause an accumulation of lanthinum chloride in my water. I went 4 years with elevated phosphates before I had an issue. I plan to test every 6-12 months and manage accordingly..

2023.06.02 13:46 Internal_Command354 Ptsd + momming
I’m drowning. To sum up a long, traumatic story there was a false accusation made against me and I had to deal with cps. It was closed but due to the events during those dreadful 49 days, I now have ptsd. It’s been almost a year since the case was closed and it’s not any better. My oldest and I were both in grief therapy from a close family loss. I pulled us both out because having my kids neatalked to by any sort of professional is so scary now. And I started not telling my therapist anything related to the ptsd because… of the ptsd? I remember wanting to tell her once specifically that I was struggling sending my daughter to school every day. I was worried about something as small as a stain on her shirt or messy hair warranting a cps report. But then the anxiety would amp up that normal people don’t worry about that and being worried about that also warrants a cps report. I hate my brain.
Considering switching to home school. Even doctor visits are scary. Like I feel as though I need to examine my kids whole body and be able to explain to the doctor every tiny scratch on their bodies in case I’m asked.
And to top it off, I experienced another traumatic event last weekend where a psychopath chased me around in his car for 45 mins trying to hit me all because mistaken identify I guess and I had my kids in the car. (And he got no charges)Even though the ptsd started with a cps related event, it has now caused me to be overly aware of their safety in general (being taken from me by any means). So their safety being put at risk by this stranger last weekend has made it so bad.
I know I need to seek therapy but how can I, when it’s a trigger in itself?

FYI, this is a story COLLECTION. Lots of standalones technically. So, you can basically start to read at any chapter, no pre-read of the other chapters needed technically (other than maybe getting better descriptions of characters than: Adam Vir=human, Krill=antlike alien, Sunny=tall alien, Conn=telepathic alien). The numbers are (mostly) only for organization of posts and continuity.
OC Written by Charlie Stastarrfallknightrise,
Typed up and then posted here by me.
Proofreading and language check for some chapters by u/Finbar9800
Future Lore and fact check done by me.
Okay this is weird. So, this story is a long time ago, like 6-7 years ago, but its also in the future for us…
German has a specific tense for this, but English has no tense for this…
So, I guess welcome to the close past of the far far future?

Want to find a specific one, see the whole list or check fanart?
Here is the link to the master-post.
The bus bumped and jostled over the lumpy dirt road.
Inside bodies swayed and juggled back and forth, ramming into walls and steadying themselves against the antiquated seats before them. The bus was old, older than a large portion of dirt, old enough to have rubber tires, shitty suspension, and foam back seats, nothing like the sleek magno buses they used these days.
Clearly their program wasn't important enough to acquire a real transport vehicle.
Their ride from the airport had been nerve wracking to say the least, and only some of it had come from the imminent threat that the bus would disintegrate into its component parts, most of the rest of it had come from the slow building of nervous energy felt by all the young teens as they waited to begin their first day at training.
There were forty of them in all, though less than half of that was predicted to make it through the training and actually become pilots from the program at Trans Space Combative Aviation Academy. Of course, the Academy didn't have its own location, as new as it was and untested as it was, the burgeoning UNSC wasn't likely to spend a ton of funds on a group of untested children. So, they had been shipped onto Del Rio, Texas where the air force flight academy was located, and had been allocated space, some instructors, and a few classrooms to get started.
Adam had found the other recruits from the program nervously waiting outside with their duffel bags and clothing. None of them were over the age of fifteen, and they consisted almost equally of boys and girls.
Adam was displeased to find himself the shortest among the boys, and about mid pack among the girls, a good portion of them probably weighing a good ten pounds more than he did, though none of them were out of shape.
He tried to ignore that, doing his best to make friends with the other nervous recruits, determined not to be the loser this time. Just as long as he didn't show his weirdness to them straight off, maybe he was going to be fine.
It seemed to be working, at least until the bus pulled up, and the group of them stared on with shock and disappointment at the monstrosity before them.
A centuries old bus.
They sort of hoped it wasn't for them, but the ACU clad, army man stepping out of the door and onto the pavement dashed their hopes.
And soon they were on their way, jostling down the highway, eventually cutting through manned security gates, patrolled by armed guards, and finally onto the backroad that was taken around the airfield. Adam had his face pressed up against the window, watching as a set of jets took off, leaving trails of white behind them in the great blue sky above.
The implant in his arm buzzed, and he looked down to see a text from his mother asking if they had landed yet.
He had to apologize for forgetting and assured her that he was, indeed, landed and on his way.
The further they went onto the base, the more people they could see, large muscular men and women running in formation, wearing the same light grey T-shirts tucked into blue canvas shorts.
Voices roared past them as the men chanted in time with their cadence.
Low lying buildings pulled up on the horizon in front of them, crouched together in stumpy lines. Yelled commands wafted through open windows as more recruits rolled past kicking up dirt clouds as they went.
Adam grew nervous upon seeing them, big and adult.
He glanced down at himself and his baggy T-shirt, and jeans held up only by a belt, the cuffs folded up over his shoes.
They belonged to his brothers, but were still too big for him.
The bus rolled to a stop just then, jostling him forward so his face nearly rammed into the seat in front of him. A dust cloud billowed up around them obscuring his vision for a moment. At the front of the bus, the driver reached out and cranked the handle to the door, manually forcing it open.
"Wow, this thing is a real piece of shit."
Someone muttered, while boots thudded onto the stairs, and the entire bus went quiet as a man stepped onto the front of the bus. He was tall, and serious faced with thick eyebrows and what appeared to be a shaved head, though it was mostly covered by a wide brimmed dumbass hat in dark, clashing seriously with his patterned ACUs.
They all waited on the edge of their seats.
Adam shrunk down into his expecting to get yelled at.
That's what all the old army movies told him was going to happen.
Instead, however, the man smiled.
Adam didn't buy it for one second.
"Welcome recruits to the first TSCA Academy class of 4013. I am Master Sergeant Kimball, and I will be one of your MTI (military training instructor) during this program. If you need to address me at any time during this course, you will call me Sir or Master Sergeant Kimball. Now I understand that you may all be tired from your flight. We have recruits here from all across the world coming in right now, so hopefully, today will be easy and relaxing."
Adam eyed the group around him, watching as the others began to relax.
Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad after all?
Perhaps because they were kids, they had been given some leeway during the training process?
I mean, were they really going to yell at a group of kids barely out of their teenage years?
Surely, they wouldn’t…
"Alright everyone, Unload!"
There was a collective shuffling around the bus as the group of them took to their feet and began slowly shuffling towards the exit. Adam pulled his bag over his back, nearly tipping over backwards as the weight pulled his small frame off balance. Someone put a hand on his shoulder,
”Whoa."
He glanced over and thanked the girl who had helped him, hurrying off the bus and down the stairs into the hot as hell Texas heat.
Stepping off the bus he found Master Sergeant Kimball standing next to two other MTIs, who were smiling at them, though their smiles seemed more wolfish than reassuring.
My what big teeth you have, he thought idly to himself, stepping to the side so the others could walk through.
One boy came trudging down the steps last, lugging an absolutely massive suitcase as a few of the others flopped to the ground, resting against their bags, eyes closed, basking like lizards in the sun.
Sgt. Kimball stepped forward towards the last young man.
"Here let me help you."
The boy seemed rather grateful, handing his bag down to the MTI, taking some weight off his shoulders.
That was until Sgt. Kimball grabbed the zipper, opened the bag and dumped the entire contents of the suitcase into the dirt. He then got right up in the boy's face and shouted.
"NOW WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK DO YOU NEED A BAG LIKE THAT FOR!? CHRIST SON, I COULD USE IT TO SMUGGLE YOUR CORPSE OUT WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU."
The entire group jolted with surprise, all of them bolting upwards.
Even Adam was startled, and he had been expecting it. The poor kid was scrambling around in the dirt trying to collect his things,
"GET YOUR ASS OFF THE GROUND YOU SORRY PIECE OF SHIT."
The two other MTIs bore down on them, their charming smiles revealed for what they really were.
Wolf in sheep's clothing, snarling ravening beasts.
More bags were dumped on the ground, turned over, emptied until the contents mingled with the dust on the ground. The female MTI leaped over, ripping Adam's bag off the ground and tossing its contents into the dust. She reached down, picked up a book and chucked it at him, hitting him in the chest as he stumbled back.
"YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TIME FOR READING!?”
She moved on to the next student.
One of the recruits had burst into tears, and the MTI's descended like vultures. One of them grabbed a water bottle from the ground and shoved it at the crying student.
"BETTER GET STARTED ON CRYING ME A RIVER!"
Adam was scrambling to pick up his stuff and shove it back in his bag.
"GET ON YOUR FEET!"
He bolted upright to find Sgt. Kimball in his face, or more looking down on him. His face was red and as he screamed, little droplets of spit flew from his tongue. He gave Adam one long look over.
"GOOD LORD BOY, I'VE TAKEN SHITS MORE SUBSTANTIAL THAN YOU!"
"GO ON CLEAN UP THIS SHIT, IT'S FILTHY! WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING!? THEN GET YOUR ASSES DOWN TO INTAKE."
He scrambled to put his things in his bag, the MTI's shouting at him the entire time. He nearly tripped over himself multiple times, falling flat on his face in the dirt much to the amusement of the MTIs.
"LEAVE YOUR SHIT HERE!"
He tripped and wobbled, running after the others as they ran towards the building that had been pointed out to them by the screaming MTIs. A few of the other recruits were crying, but Adam, well he had sort of expected it, and honestly, he would have been disappointed if they hadn't. In fact, he found himself grinning from ear to ear as he walked into the equipment room behind a line of other recruits.
The equipment officer turned around from his desk to glare at them. He was a heavy-set man in his late forties with biceps as big around as tree trunks.
He looked them over with a frown before jabbing his finger at Adam.
"You there, smiley. Small or extra small?”
He blushed,
"Errr... Extra... Small?”
"At least he's honest."
The man grouted, turning around to rifle through his equipment, coming back with two pairs of everything in stock. He stacked it on the counter in front of him.
"Two PT uniforms, Two ACUs, two shirts, sweatpants, jacket, gloves, hat, and…"
He pulled up a set of tan combat boots then glanced him up and down.
"What is your shoe size?"
"Er..."
More blushing,
"Six."
The man grunted, ducked back behind the counter,
"We only carry eight plus in men’s, but a seven in women's should work."
He tried not to wilt at the reminder of how small he was.
The man turned away again and motioned him off. He clambered to pick up everything he needed and wobbled away, juggling the boots the pants and the jacket with some difficulty, dropping a glove on the floor and nearly dropping everything else when he went to pick it up.
Walking outside he was met by another MTI, who yelled at him to get his ass to the barracks to change and put all his shit away. He hurried to do as he was told, running and nearly dropping everything again as he made his way through the doors into a large room, lined along either side with beds, a single trunk at the base.
He ran to one of the beds at the far end, opened the crate and placed his things inside, struggling to pull on one of the PT uniforms as the others ran into the room to do the same, throwing their things in the lockers at the base of the beds, as the MTIs continued to scream at them.
It was only as he was running out of the room that he noticed the horrible terrible thing.
Oh no…
Please no…
The extra small pants...
They…
They were too big.
He tried looking for a drawstring to make them tighter, but they were canvas with an elastic waist, and they did not go any tighter. He turned in his spot, trying to figure out what to do, but as soon as he slowed down, another MTI was screaming at him to get back onto the field and line up.
So, he chickened out, holding onto his pants for dear life, as he raced back to the training ground.
Upon making it there he helped the other students line up into evenly spaced rows, thinking that the MTIs might be impressed with them if they were to do that.
They did their best to stand like they were supposed to, though all of the instruction they had ever gotten was from old war movies, and they were all doing it horribly wrong, a fact for which the MTIs noticed and yelled at them for with great glee as soon as they noticed. Of course, they were eventually whipped into shape, standing in line in straight rows, heels together hands at sides, shoulders back.
He could feel his pants slipping, though he was too embarrassed to say anything.
Sgt Kimball stepped out in front of them, hands behind his back.
"What did I say!? Didn't I say we were going to have a fun relaxing day!? Are you having fun!?"
He was right in one of the recruits face, now bellowing almost at the top of his lungs. He moved onto the next student.
"Aren’t you relaxed!?”
Adam didn't think the kid looked particularly relaxed. In fact, he looked so tense, that if he squeezed any harder his spine was going to go shooting out of his ass.
"Well!?”
There was silence on the grounds.
"WELL!?”
Adam scrambled his brain not entirely sure what to do before squeaking out.
"Yes sir."
The MTI leaned in.
"Why don't you try and communicate in normal ranges of human hearing, son. I am not a bat!"
He looked back up at the rest of the group.
"WELL!?"
"YES SIR."
"That's better."
He turned to stalk away from Adam, pacing up and down the line.
"I will be straight with you when I say that today IS going to be fun and relaxing compared to what you will be going through in the next few years. If you manage to make it into this program, I promise you we will destroy your social life, you will have time for nothing other than this program and sleeping, if I decide to allow you to sleep, that is."
Adam was grinning.
Unfortunately, that caught the Sgt's eye.
"THE FUCK ARE YOU SMILING AT!?”
He waited.
Adam just stood there.
"ANSWER THE QUESTION GODDAMMIT!"
"Yes sir, sorry sir! I thought it was a rhetorical question."
"HEAVENS ABOVE HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL. I SAID ANSWER THE QUESTION!"
His mouth opened then closed,
"Er..."
"THE HELL KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT!"
"Um."
"Sweet Jehova did you come out this stupid or is it a family tradition, a side hobby?"
"I'm sorry sir, I forgot the question."
He lowered his head with an exaggerated sigh rubbing his temples,
"Forgot the question. FORGOT THE QUESTION!? I'VE MET GOLDFISH WITH BETTER MEMORIES THAN YOU! I SAID WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SMILING!?"
He blushed,
"Oh... Um."
"HURRY UP!!!”
"BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A SOCIAL LIFE FOR YOU TO RUIN, SIR."
That seemed to take the man back, and he simply sat there, staring at Adam with a bemused expression.
*"If you were any more pathetic, smiley, I might just cry for you. Honest to god, if you get any more pathetic, I will cry real tears for your shame." *
He turned away.
"Now everyone get on the ground and give me FIFTY."
At least everyone seemed to know what that meant, though pathetically enough his arms were wobbling at twenty.
"JUMPING JUPITER RECRUIT, I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO MAKE ME CRY IN THE FIRST HALF HOUR. MY COUSIN COULD DO MORE PUSH-UPS THAN YOU AND HE'S GOT NO ARMS!"
The Sergeant seemed to have a lot of disabled relatives.
A blind granny, an armless cousin, a nephew with a pole up his ass from a tragic fishing accident.
By the time they were done, Adam was quite nearly ready to throw up.
"ALRIGHT FIFTY BURPIES GO,GO GO."
Oh no, anything but that!
He paused, but was almost immediately screamed at to get his ass in gear. He knew what was coming before it happened, but he couldn't stop it.
So he accepted his fate…
So long self worth!
As he jumped down into his first plank and then back up, he could feel the waist on his pants slipping, at first just a little, but then, as his feet left the ground there, they went right down around his ankles.
At first, he thought he was at least lucky to be in the back row, but then scrambling to pick his pants back up, he realized none of that was going to matter.
Sgt. Kimball was staring at him, cheek twitching.
He himself was blushing excessively.
He was quiet for a very long time before.
"CONTROL YOURSELF RECRUIT, THE LAST THING I NEED TO SEE IS YOUR CHICKEN LEG FLAT ASS KIDDIE JUNK ON MY TRAINING FIELD. Fuck, as small as you are I'll probably be indited for CP. Now go get some new fucking pants before you blind us all for a second time. And, since it seems you've never seen leg day, I want you to cluck like a chicken all the way there. Let everyone know the pantsless chicken boy is coming!”
He did as he was told, rose red the entire time and beat red on his way back, seeing as, they had given him the smallest size available in mens, so instead he had been given a pair of woman's shorts, which, due to the cut, tended to ride up in very uncomfortable places of his anatomy.
It was a very good thing he was used to embarrassment.
Or this was going to be a very long couple of years…
Hell even with being used to embarrassment this would probably be some interesting years..
[…]
Commander Adam Vir blinked and put a hand to his head, boots throwing up little puffs of dust in the Texas heat.
"You ok Commander?"
He sniffed at the air and took in a deep breath, hands on hips.
"Ah, the memories!"
”What are you remembering Sir?”
”Good times… good times…”
And with these words he stepped out of the hovercar, mumbling to himself.
”I wonder what’s up with Sgt. Kimball, is he still training new recruits? Maybe I’ll see him again…”

Thanks for reading! As you saw in the title, this is a cross posted story written by starrfallknightrise and I'll just upload some of it here for you guys, if you are interested and want to read ahead, the original story-collection can be found on tumblr or wattpad to read for free. (link above this text under "OC:..." ) It is the Empyrean Iris story collection by starfallknightrise. Also, if you want to know more about the story collection i made an intro post about it, so feel free to check that out to see what other great characters to look forward to! (Link also above this text). I have no affiliations to the author; just thought I’d share some of the great stories you might enjoy a lot!
Obviously, I have Charlie’s permission to post this and for the people already knowing the stories, or starting to read them: If you follow the link and check out the story you will see some differences. I made some small (non-artistic) changes, mainly correcting writing mistakes, pronoun correction and some small additional info here and there of things which were not thought of/forgotten or even were added/changed in later stories (like the “USS->UNSC” prefix of Stabby, Chalar=/->Sunny etc). As well as some "biggemajor" changes in descriptions and info’s for the same stringency/continuity reason. That can be explained by the story collection being, well a story collection at the start with many standalone-stories just starring the same people, but later on it gets more to a stringent storyline with backstories and throwbacks. (For example Adam Vir has some HEAVY scars over his body, following his bones, which were not really talked about up till half the collection, where it says it covers his whole body and you find out via backflash that he had them the whole time and how he got them, they just weren't mentioned before. However, I would think a doctor would at least see these scars before that, especially since he gets analyzed, treated and goes shirtless/in T-shirts in some stories). So TLDR: Writing and some descriptions are slightly changed, with full OK from the author, since he himself did not bother to correct these things before.

Inside bodies swayed and juggled back and forth, ramming into walls and steadying themselves against the antiquated seats before them. The bus was old, older than a large portion of dirt, old enough to have rubber tires, shitty suspension, and foam back seats, nothing like the sleek magno buses they used these days.
Clearly their program wasn't important enough to acquire a real transport vehicle.
Their ride from the airport had been nerve wracking to say the least, and only some of it had come from the imminent threat that the bus would disintegrate into its component parts, most of the rest of it had come from the slow building of nervous energy felt by all the young teens as they waited to begin their first day at training.
There were forty of them in all, though less than half of that was predicted to make it through the training and actually become pilots from the program at Trans Space Combative Aviation Academy. Of course, the Academy didn't have its own location, as new as it was and untested as it was, the burgeoning UNSC wasn't likely to spend a ton of funds on a group of untested children. So, they had been shipped onto Del Rio, Texas where the air force flight academy was located, and had been allocated space, some instructors, and a few classrooms to get started.
Adam had found the other recruits from the program nervously waiting outside with their duffel bags and clothing. None of them were over the age of fifteen, and they consisted almost equally of boys and girls.
Adam was displeased to find himself the shortest among the boys, and about mid pack among the girls, a good portion of them probably weighing a good ten pounds more than he did, though none of them were out of shape.
He tried to ignore that, doing his best to make friends with the other nervous recruits, determined not to be the loser this time. Just as long as he didn't show his weirdness to them straight off, maybe he was going to be fine.
It seemed to be working, at least until the bus pulled up, and the group of them stared on with shock and disappointment at the monstrosity before them.
A centuries old bus.
They sort of hoped it wasn't for them, but the ACU clad, army man stepping out of the door and onto the pavement dashed their hopes.
And soon they were on their way, jostling down the highway, eventually cutting through manned security gates, patrolled by armed guards, and finally onto the backroad that was taken around the airfield. Adam had his face pressed up against the window, watching as a set of jets took off, leaving trails of white behind them in the great blue sky above.
The implant in his arm buzzed, and he looked down to see a text from his mother asking if they had landed yet.
He had to apologize for forgetting and assured her that he was, indeed, landed and on his way.
The further they went onto the base, the more people they could see, large muscular men and women running in formation, wearing the same light grey T-shirts tucked into blue canvas shorts.
Voices roared past them as the men chanted in time with their cadence.
Low lying buildings pulled up on the horizon in front of them, crouched together in stumpy lines. Yelled commands wafted through open windows as more recruits rolled past kicking up dirt clouds as they went.
Adam grew nervous upon seeing them, big and adult.
He glanced down at himself and his baggy T-shirt, and jeans held up only by a belt, the cuffs folded up over his shoes.
They belonged to his brothers, but were still too big for him.
The bus rolled to a stop just then, jostling him forward so his face nearly rammed into the seat in front of him. A dust cloud billowed up around them obscuring his vision for a moment. At the front of the bus, the driver reached out and cranked the handle to the door, manually forcing it open.
"Wow, this thing is a real piece of shit."
Someone muttered, while boots thudded onto the stairs, and the entire bus went quiet as a man stepped onto the front of the bus. He was tall, and serious faced with thick eyebrows and what appeared to be a shaved head, though it was mostly covered by a wide brimmed dumbass hat in dark, clashing seriously with his patterned ACUs.
They all waited on the edge of their seats.
Adam shrunk down into his expecting to get yelled at.
That's what all the old army movies told him was going to happen.
Instead, however, the man smiled.
Adam didn't buy it for one second.
"Welcome recruits to the first TSCA Academy class of 4013. I am Master Sergeant Kimball, and I will be one of your MTI (military training instructor) during this program. If you need to address me at any time during this course, you will call me Sir or Master Sergeant Kimball. Now I understand that you may all be tired from your flight. We have recruits here from all across the world coming in right now, so hopefully, today will be easy and relaxing."
Adam eyed the group around him, watching as the others began to relax.
Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad after all?
Perhaps because they were kids, they had been given some leeway during the training process?
I mean, were they really going to yell at a group of kids barely out of their teenage years?
Surely, they wouldn’t…
"Alright everyone, Unload!"
There was a collective shuffling around the bus as the group of them took to their feet and began slowly shuffling towards the exit. Adam pulled his bag over his back, nearly tipping over backwards as the weight pulled his small frame off balance. Someone put a hand on his shoulder,
”Whoa."
He glanced over and thanked the girl who had helped him, hurrying off the bus and down the stairs into the hot as hell Texas heat.
Stepping off the bus he found Master Sergeant Kimball standing next to two other MTIs, who were smiling at them, though their smiles seemed more wolfish than reassuring.
My what big teeth you have, he thought idly to himself, stepping to the side so the others could walk through.
One boy came trudging down the steps last, lugging an absolutely massive suitcase as a few of the others flopped to the ground, resting against their bags, eyes closed, basking like lizards in the sun.
Sgt. Kimball stepped forward towards the last young man.
"Here let me help you."
The boy seemed rather grateful, handing his bag down to the MTI, taking some weight off his shoulders.
That was until Sgt. Kimball grabbed the zipper, opened the bag and dumped the entire contents of the suitcase into the dirt. He then got right up in the boy's face and shouted.
"NOW WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK DO YOU NEED A BAG LIKE THAT FOR!? CHRIST SON, I COULD USE IT TO SMUGGLE YOUR CORPSE OUT WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU."
The entire group jolted with surprise, all of them bolting upwards.
Even Adam was startled, and he had been expecting it. The poor kid was scrambling around in the dirt trying to collect his things,
"GET YOUR ASS OFF THE GROUND YOU SORRY PIECE OF SHIT."
The two other MTIs bore down on them, their charming smiles revealed for what they really were.
Wolf in sheep's clothing, snarling ravening beasts.
More bags were dumped on the ground, turned over, emptied until the contents mingled with the dust on the ground. The female MTI leaped over, ripping Adam's bag off the ground and tossing its contents into the dust. She reached down, picked up a book and chucked it at him, hitting him in the chest as he stumbled back.
"YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TIME FOR READING!?”
She moved on to the next student.
One of the recruits had burst into tears, and the MTI's descended like vultures. One of them grabbed a water bottle from the ground and shoved it at the crying student.
"BETTER GET STARTED ON CRYING ME A RIVER!"
Adam was scrambling to pick up his stuff and shove it back in his bag.
"GET ON YOUR FEET!"
He bolted upright to find Sgt. Kimball in his face, or more looking down on him. His face was red and as he screamed, little droplets of spit flew from his tongue. He gave Adam one long look over.
"GOOD LORD BOY, I'VE TAKEN SHITS MORE SUBSTANTIAL THAN YOU!"
"GO ON CLEAN UP THIS SHIT, IT'S FILTHY! WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING!? THEN GET YOUR ASSES DOWN TO INTAKE."
He scrambled to put his things in his bag, the MTI's shouting at him the entire time. He nearly tripped over himself multiple times, falling flat on his face in the dirt much to the amusement of the MTIs.
"LEAVE YOUR SHIT HERE!"
He tripped and wobbled, running after the others as they ran towards the building that had been pointed out to them by the screaming MTIs. A few of the other recruits were crying, but Adam, well he had sort of expected it, and honestly, he would have been disappointed if they hadn't. In fact, he found himself grinning from ear to ear as he walked into the equipment room behind a line of other recruits.
The equipment officer turned around from his desk to glare at them. He was a heavy-set man in his late forties with biceps as big around as tree trunks.
He looked them over with a frown before jabbing his finger at Adam.
"You there, smiley. Small or extra small?”
He blushed,
"Errr... Extra... Small?”
"At least he's honest."
The man grouted, turning around to rifle through his equipment, coming back with two pairs of everything in stock. He stacked it on the counter in front of him.
"Two PT uniforms, Two ACUs, two shirts, sweatpants, jacket, gloves, hat, and…"
He pulled up a set of tan combat boots then glanced him up and down.
"What is your shoe size?"
"Er..."
More blushing,
"Six."
The man grunted, ducked back behind the counter,
"We only carry eight plus in men’s, but a seven in women's should work."
He tried not to wilt at the reminder of how small he was.
The man turned away again and motioned him off. He clambered to pick up everything he needed and wobbled away, juggling the boots the pants and the jacket with some difficulty, dropping a glove on the floor and nearly dropping everything else when he went to pick it up.

2023.06.02 13:46 RoachForLife After switching to Pihole my Access Points wifi bulbs no longer getting and IP
Hi all, so its been a bit of a journey to get Piholes DHCP working. I think a lot of it was because I didnt realize my modem was infact a modem/router. Ended up turning off the DHCP functions which took some work but now the pihole DHCP is generally working well.
The thing is I have 3 additional access points on my network in addition to my Router. Everything connecting to my main TP Link router, no issues, but my wifi bulbs going to my APs (old ass WRT54G) stopped working the day I switched to pihole dhcp. When I was messing with pihole dhcp a week ago, the same thing happened. Keep in mind that no settings on my Access Points changed when I went from TPLink DHCP to pihole DHCP, yet it seems like something in their DDWRT config needs to change to accomodate the pihole dhcp. The wifi bulbs do not connect, I presume they are not getting an IP. Also when I try to connect via Wifi (DHCP) to the AP itself, it fails or says incorrect password (again, its not the password).
A little about the access points, so I had some spare routers laying around and wanted to use in my network to help with the far ends where I have outdoor wifi bulbs. I put them near the interior wall where the bulb is and they are good to give a 802.11b or g signal to the bulb to turn on. So they are super old but had been working fine. Also to note they all have DD-WRT on them, the latest versions available for that hardware. Also when I set these up 6 months ago, I followed the guides on the internet of how to turn DDWRT into an access point. As I mentioned, no issues until pihole dhcp came into the mix. Below are some shitty drawings I did of the topology of the network, also my settings in DDWRT.
Worth noting that the option for 'DNSMasq for DHCP' is enabled in the photo but was previously disabled. That was me trying different things. Since DHCP is turned off I dont think it made a difference but wanted to point it out. I drew arrows to the things I modified from the factory defaults, assuming one of those options may be the problem. Also its definitely a config issue because I have 2 WRT54s having the exact issue.
To note, I can connect to the Access Points just fine via IP, its just the devices that are trying to get an IP, cant seem to. My thinking is the AP should still call out to the DHCP server to get the IP and assign to the wifi bulb.
Last thing Ill note, I saw the 'Active IP Connections' in the system area. Thought it was odd that is was showing items that are not related to this Access Point on there (for example .10 is a PC on my main TP Link router). Again maybe thats normal I never took notice before, but I guess I was thinking it would only show the 3 bulbs connected to that access point, not devices upstream on the network. But again, maybe normal. Sorry for long one here but appreciate any help

Also when I set these up 6 months ago, I followed the guides on the internet of how to turn DDWRT into an access point. As I mentioned, no issues until pihole dhcp came into the mix. Below are some shitty drawings I did of the topology of the network, also my settings in DDWRT.
Worth noting that the option for 'DNSMasq for DHCP' is enabled in the photo but was previously disabled. That was me trying different things. Since DHCP is turned off I dont think it made a difference but wanted to point it out. I drew arrows to the things I modified from the factory defaults, assuming one of those options may be the problem. Also its definitely a config issue because I have 2 WRT54s having the exact issue.
To note, I can connect to the Access Points just fine via IP, its just the devices that are trying to get an IP, cant seem to. My thinking is the AP should still call out to the DHCP server to get the IP and assign to the wifi bulb.
Last thing Ill note, I saw the 'Active IP Connections' in the system area. Thought it was odd that is was showing items that are not related to this Access Point on there (for example .10 is a PC on my main TP Link router). Again maybe thats normal I never took notice before, but I guess I was thinking it would only show the 3 bulbs connected to that access point, not devices upstream on the network. But again, maybe normal. Sorry for long one here but appreciate any help

I am traveling to India, I filed for my E-Visa as urgent. I filed nearly 48 hours before arriving. I am going for my grandfather's funeral. What is the turn around time? I am worried, it won't be ready by the time I arrive in India. When I called they had me on hold for over an hour, they were able to locate my application. Will I have issues leaving the US?

2023.06.02 13:43 alfa_man7 How to send Data from ESP32 in intervals on thingspeak
How can i send sensor entries from esp32 to thingspeak. The entries for 5 mins will be stored for 5 mins and then sent to thingspeak all at once. This also means that once they are sent, they are also erased from esp8266 memory and it starts recording new values for next 5 mins and repeats the procedure again and again. Is that possible?
I have been using MPU650 and LM75 sensor. When I run the code it gives me only one entry after 5 mins.

2023.06.02 13:43 New-Kitchen-778 Draco Malfoy v Ron Weasley Duel
Ron and Draco 1v1 years 1-7 and beyond. Who do you think would come out on top?
In my opinion it plays out like this :
Year 1- I don't think either of them have enough knowledge of attacking spells to do much damage. It comes down to fists and I think Ron takes it for me personally.
Year 2: Draco automatically wins since Rons wand is broken
Year 3-4: I'm grouping these 2 years together and I'm giving it to Draco. Ron fans ( and I am one) may be upset and I may be basing my opinion on fanon but Draco was good enough to get into Newt potions and I think he was decent student. Not that Ron wasn't but idk ik giving it to Draco. Feel free to disagree.
Year 5: I think this goes to Ron because while Draco is running around with Umbridge being dumb Ron is actively training and learning in the DA.
Year 6: I think this definitely goes to Draco. Mum and Auntie Bella would definitely have given him some extra training over the summer knowing what he was about to undergo.
Year 7: I don't know honestly. Rons constantly on the run and has more near life and death scenarios so he's gotten quicker I'm sure and more aware. But Draco would have been spending a lot of time with some dark people picking up a few tricks. I'll give it to Draco Again.
Post Battle of Hogwarts - I think Ron wins cos he would have gone through some form of auror training no matter how brief and would have been involved with some more near life and death scenarios. I doubt Draco was sharpening his combat skills.
What do you guys think?
