Wiim Ultra, or buy something else?
2025.01.19 02:20 Exalanoto Wiim Ultra, or buy something else?
So i am a bit confused.. Do i buy the Wiim ultra, or do i spend more money?
Some people praise this streamer up trough the skies, and some just think its ok. A few think it totally sucks. I am Tired of watching youtube videos...
I am going to be running 2x Xtz 12.17, Klipsch RF-7 mk2, Parasound 2250. I want HDMI, and Sub out.. EQ/DSP is obviously a plus.
Those of you that own the Wiim ultra, are you happy with it? Pros, cons? Is it rly noticebly muted, and does it lack detail`? Option is going NAD M33 or M66, but ofc the price difference is..............

HB 566 - NO DEGREE LAW
No degree? No problem: Louisiana removes degree barriers to state employment
BATON ROUGE – Louisiana is kicking down the door and tearing down the paper ceiling in the labor department. On January 1, Louisiana enacted HB 566, a landmark law designed to address workforce shortages and expand job opportunities across the state.
This legislation eliminates the requirement for a bachelor’s degree and reduces experience qualifications for many state jobs, creating new opportunities for approximately 1.2 million working-age Louisianans who have a high school diploma but not a four-year degree.
The law is part of a broader national movement to dismantle the so-called “paper ceiling”—an invisible barrier preventing workers without college degrees from accessing higher-wage, skill-based jobs. Governor Jeff Landry signed HB 566 into law in June, with critical support from the Baton Rouge Area Chamber, which sponsored and championed the bill.
A response to workforce challenges Louisiana’s tight labor market and workforce shortages prompted the introduction of HB 566. In 2022, the unemployment rate for individuals with only a high school diploma or equivalent stood at 5.3%, nearly double the 2.6% rate for those with a bachelor’s degree or higher. By opening state jobs to up to 87% of the state’s adult population, the law is expected to significantly expand the applicant pool, according to BRAC.
“We’re going to be economically competitive only if we remove every barrier for people to get a job,” said Kenny Nguyen, a Baton Rouge entrepreneur and advocate for the legislation. “As soon as you put a degree requirement on there, you’re screening out folks who might have the skills and experience to do the job.”
Nguyen, owner of the creative agency ThreeSixtyEight, likened the number of Louisiana workers without college degrees to “10 Tiger Stadiums full of people missing opportunity.” He emphasized that the “paper ceiling” has limited career advancement for skilled workers simply because they lack a degree.
Broader impacts and advocacy
The “Tear the Paper Ceiling” campaign, a national advocacy initiative, estimates that 70 million Americans—half the U.S. workforce—are skilled through alternative routes, or STARS, such as technical training, military service, or on-the-job experience. In Louisiana, 1.2 million people fall into this category. HB 566 is seen as a key step toward unlocking their potential.
According to the campaign, “Workers with experience, skills, and diverse perspectives are being held back by a silent barrier—the paper ceiling.” The initiative offers resources to help STARS advance their careers and advocates for broader hiring reforms.
Nguyen urged private industry to follow the state’s example: “We’re desperate for great talent, and we must be open to unconventional pathways.”
Modernizing Civil Service hiring practices Louisiana’s Civil Service Department played a critical role in implementing the new law. Civil Service Director Byron Decoteau explained that the department had been reviewing hiring practices to align with workforce needs, inspired by similar reforms in other states.
Over six months, the department reviewed qualifications for 1,900 state jobs, identifying roles where experience could replace degree requirements. The changes aim to expand the applicant pool and ensure fair candidate assessments.
“We’ve been on a mission to break down employment barriers,” Decoteau said. “Before this bill, we already allowed substitutions for degrees in some cases, like six years of work experience. Now, the law ensures that degree requirements are only in place when absolutely necessary.”
Nicole Tucker, Chief Operating Officer for State Civil Service, highlighted the practical benefits: “Now, people with alternative pathways—whether through experience or skills—may qualify for positions they couldn’t before.”
Despite these changes, degrees remain essential for roles requiring specialized knowledge, such as engineering or medicine. The department collaborated with HR professionals and agencies to balance workforce needs with job performance standards.
A model for the nation
HB 566 builds on a 2022 law prohibiting agencies from requiring four-year degrees or more than three years of experience for state jobs unless specifically justified. Louisiana is now participating in a national cohort to measure the impact of these initiatives, aiming to serve as a model for other states.
“This is about tapping into the wealth of talent we already have in our state,” said Decoteau.
By broadening pathways to state employment, Louisiana is creating a more inclusive and competitive workforce, addressing labor shortages, and providing greater economic security for its residents.
“This is about creating opportunities for people who have the skills but not the paper,” Nguyen added. “Louisiana is showing what’s possible when we tear down the paper ceiling.”

There was one daminette fic that had a scene of chat noir stalking damien and marinette on there date where Jon stopped him after nearly being hit by his cataclysm. If anyone know this one please put it in the comments.
Also to clarify there is a fic where the characters are gender swapped and has a very similar scene and it's not the one I'm looking for.

But in the military, we still encourage love like any other place, human is what we are all about, who are we to try and stop such a force? Just make sure you can keep your head on your body.. Or not have a body to be loved destroyed in combat.

2025.01.19 02:20 Running44199 Occassional Bend
Ive always had a slight left bend but its a bit more dramatic with hard flaccid when I get incomplete erections the bend is much more significant. Though 100% erect its completely fine and when flaccid can barely be seen, I cant feel any scar tissue or abnormalities and have zero pain. The other night another semi erection just turned left pretty significantly but just disappeared. Ive had zero trauma to my penis and got HF from prostate stimulation.
Should i be concerned?
Not sure if it points to weak muscles on the penis or uneven filling of CC, cant be peyronies right?

2025.01.19 02:20 yellingforidiots Something I gotta say about recent events
You all are hating on Team Cherry right now because of the troll, which is understandable, but holy crap, y’all are going too far. Tbh, who cares if they’ve been silent? You should be glad they haven’t just canceled the game entirely. And I know what you’re gonna say blah blah blah, something about how they’ve been disrespectful but man, y’all have been disrespectful to them. You guys have been practically stalking them. They can’t say anything without it “secretly being Silksong news.” You’ve dehumanized them, so honestly, it’s on you for getting trolled.
And also, get off Leth’s back, man. He’s trying his best. He can’t say anything about Silksong unless William or Ari explicitly say he can tell us. And no, they don’t have secret connections with Nintendo. Leth interacting with fans and talking to his community isn’t “pandering for damage control.” Just accept that it probably won’t release for a bit and remember that every day they take, Silksong gets better.
Tl;DR: y’all have been disrespectful to team cherry as well

2025.01.19 02:20 Minimum-Distance1789 Rowan Prose Publishing
Has anyone out there heard anything/had experience with Rowan Prose Publishing? They've made me an offer but I want to make sure I'd be signing on to a quality shop before I put my manuscript in their hands. They're quite new (started in Jan 2024) so I know we can't expect a long list of achievements or epic sales, but I'm hoping people out there have some info about:
- editorial quality - are they happy to go to the mats to make good changes or do they focus on quick fixes to get the book out the door?
- distribution - where do they place physical copies? Chain stores? A few small shops? Their website sales only?
- sales numbers - for the books they have published so far, are there sales numbers available? Many of their covers and blurbs haven't appealed to me and I'm concerned the same treatment may impact my own future sales (judging a book by it's cover and all that).
- author experiences - might be wishful thinking, but I'd be grateful if any writers who have interacted with them could give me some sense of their experience. Frustrating? Fruitful? Collegiate?
