2025.01.31 01:12 Exciting_Step538 How can I keep myself informed about current events happening in the U.S without crippling myself emotionally?
28 year old guy here. I'm trying to finish a college degree and finally turn a new chapter in life, yet I wake up every morning to the same haunting sense of dread and impending doom, which lingers over me like a shadowy blanket throughout the day until I drift off to sleep at night. I can barely muster the will to laugh or smile, about anything. It takes a monumental effort to just sit down and study my course material. And for the life of me, I can't bring myself to feel any sort of relief or excitement in anything, other than sleep, which is probably why I'm so tired all the time. My mind is just constantly reeling with whatever upsetting/concerning article(s) I read that day. I want to just let it all go and be blissfully ignorant, but I can't ignore the fact that doing so is part of what got us into this situation in the first place. I have no idea what craziness might be lurking just around the corner, and the last thing I want is to find myself suddenly caught up in a terrible situation because I chose to be uninformed, and therefore didn't take any preemptive steps to protect myself or those I care about.
So, how do you do it? How do you balance the act of subjecting yourself to the onslaught of bad news with the need to preserve your own mental health during these dark times? Is it even possible? I used to think I had done enough, but apparently I was wrong. I deleted all my social media accounts years ago, except for reddit, which is where I get a lot of my news from. I also cut out cable news networks long before social media. I'm already medicated for depression/anxiety and adhd. I have no idea what else to do. It feels as though my only two options to choose from are either embracing willful ignorance and cowardly burrying my head in the sand, which is both risky and frankly selfish, or I can continue to confront reality head on instead of covering my eyes and ears, which right now feels like a minor form of hell. It's also making it damn hard to get anything done.

2025.01.31 01:12 Saiyaman_09 Should I exercise wrist tendons daily or every other day?
I have been dealing with wrist pain for more than 4 months already. I started doing wrist exercises about 3 weeks ago and I have been feeling better. However, there is contradictory information on the internet, some say exercise wrist every day some say every other day to allow the tendons to recover. So which is it? or which one are you guys doing? The types of exercises that I'm doing is wrist curls, extensions, finger exercises, etc.

2025.01.31 01:11 Jimmy_Bacon The MISC Fortune is Statistically Worse than the Drake Vulture
To get it out of the way, I am not saying people shouldn't buy the fortune. I personally love the look of the fortune over the vulture, but I cannot justify owning it because of its many downsides compared to the vulture. I wanted to make this post as a PSA to potential buyers.
As a disclaimer, I did not test overloading the cargo grid in either ship and stuck to a total of 26 scu for both ships. This test also considers you only salvage large panels since they are the fastest and provide the most RMC.
Starting off with the main issue, the fortune salvages around 50% slower than the vulture since the they have the same stats on their salvage heads (0.6 speed / 0.77 efficiency for abrade). I decided to test this to make sure there were no hidden stats and I got 11:23 to fill the 13 scu buffer on the fortune, and 6:19 to fill the 13 scu buffer on the vulture using abrade scrapers on both. Now you might be thinking that this doesn't matter because you need to manually stack boxes in the vulture, but you would be wrong. I timed myself at 2:15 to unload the 13 scu buffer onto the cargo grid. So adding that time to the vulture you would get 8:34 to the fortunes 11:23. Now this is just the first half, since you only need to stack the buffer once on the grid in the vulture, that saves you the extra 2:15 on your second go around before you fly back to a station with 25 scu of salvage. So for a full run in the vulture, you save around 7:93.
Now that we know that the vulture is better at salvaging by around 35%, what else makes it better than the fortune? Well, looking at its speed and rotation stats on spviewer, the fortune turns at an un-boosted max speed of 32 degrees per second pitch and 32 yaw. The vulture turns at a speed of 55/55. Now you might be thinking "well the fortune probably has better Gs on its mav thrusters", but sadly you would also be wrong there.
Here are the mav thruster stats between the fortune and the vulture:
Vulture:
https://preview.redd.it/lq7x0k1x58ge1.png?width=511&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a13e3c52ec867b0ac9e0159f071d528637a78c0
Fortune:
https://preview.redd.it/oltswoa068ge1.png?width=451&format=png&auto=webp&s=ec9ab8cdb8762f175e18825ccd76a1d426d723b8
Not only does the fortune have a 28.5% reduction in scm speed and a 11.2% reduction in nav speed, but its forward and mav thrusters are significantly weaker than the vultures save for the down thrust which is 0.3 Gs better. Also just to have it, the unboosted rotation speed is 42% WORSE than the vultures, not to mention the less powerful mav thrusters in the fortune means you have an even harder time turning.
So that's maneuverability but what about emissions and stealth? The vulture blows the fortune out of the water here too. Emissions stats could change but this is what they currently look like:
Vulture:
https://preview.redd.it/eaa0tohwb8ge1.png?width=403&format=png&auto=webp&s=391c2981acbac142cadbaed3320ff1ba159dfc07
Fortune:
https://preview.redd.it/6ly1yj1ub8ge1.png?width=427&format=png&auto=webp&s=d594264919386d73ebe31cb3ea24a1dee5208341
The fortune has more health but lets be honest, this really will not save you against PvPers or murder hobos when your thrusters suck.
Just as a side note, the fortune has 0.7 more scu of qt fuel than the vulture, but 15 less scu of hydrogen fuel than the vulture. Also the expedited claim time on the vulture is 3 minutes compared to the 1 minute 18 seconds on the fortune. These stats could change in the future.
So those are the stats, but what about the overall design of the ship? I would say the vulture still has the fortune beat by a wide margin. Design of a ship is mostly subjective so ill try and stick to a few things I think each ship does better. Starting off with the cargo bay, the vulture has a very large bay that can hold multiple different ground vehicles incase you want to do that. Unfortunately, the fortune can "hold" ground vehicles, but it will be a chore to load them in the rear elevator. For usability you will be mostly limited to the pulse but you can fit a ptv if you want to squeeze it in sideways with a tractor. The cockpit is definitely better on the fortune since you can get a lot closer to salvage panels without bonking them like with the vultures long arms. For future uses, the vulture completely outclasses the fortune in the gun rack and suit locker department. The fortune has no suit locker and only 3 pistol racks. The vulture has a suit locker, 3 pistol racks, and 2 rifle racks. This wont be used now but will probably make way more sense in the future once armor lockers are enabled. For getting in and out of the ship, I would also say the vulture is faster and easier. The external side ladder of the vulture seems to be a few seconds faster than the ladder on the fortune, however, the elevator on the fortune seems to be a bit easier than the ramp + ladder on the vulture for getting to the cockpit.
So this is my yap on why I think the fortune is an objectively worse ship than the vulture, especially for the price being exactly the same as the vulture. If you want to do salvage gameplay and you don't mind taking an extra 2 minutes to stack boxes, I would say 1000% get the vulture.

2025.01.31 01:11 Ornery-Breadfruit-37 DWI with accident no injuries, likely above .15BAC but unsure, Refused blood, and 20 yr old at the time. What can I expect to face interms of punishments?
So here I am... I’ve spent enough time reading about everyone else’s situation, and now I just need to lay mine out. This whole event took place over 3 months ago.
For starters, I very rarely drink, maybe once every 3 weeks (now that I'm on bond I never drink). A few of my friends had a get-together about four hours before I got into an accident, and then blood was drawn approximately 40-50 minutes after that. I was spacing my drinks out—about 15-30 minutes between each one—but we did have quite a few. And paired with the fact that I only had a few snacks, if I had to guess, I probably had 7-9 standard shots (maybe a tad bit more) and 2 tall boys, all spaced out over those 4 hours (I didn't have a full meal but I had a few healthy snacks before). I have no idea what my BAC was, but I’m praying it was under .15. At this point, I’d rather prepare for the Class A misdemeanor and just deal with it if I do get that since causing the accident already removes any chance of sealing even with class B. I do have gaps in my memory but that was only after the crash when the details got hazy, I was awake and alert and behavior, mood, all that stuff was normal along with the vitals according to my medical report.
I’m also a taller guy, about 185 lbs.
Now, regarding the case—I have a good lawyer. The accident happened over three months ago. I wasn’t speeding (just about 5 over on the highway), but I was messing with my AC when a car suddenly merged into my lane and slowed down quickly for an exit. I ended up plowing into the back of them. No one was seriously injured, and the other driver was completely fine.
I was arrested at the scene. Given my situation—20 years old at the time, likely a higher BAC, caused an accident, and refused a blood draw—I’m wondering how bad this is going to be in Collin County. My lawyer says they typically don’t throw first-time offenders in jail, but my case is a little more complicated, so I don’t know.
It’s been over three months, and I still don’t have a court date. My license was suspended for the refusal, but I’m getting an ODL (Occupational Driver’s License) with an interlock, which seems to be standard for DWIs in Texas.
What’s been messing with me the most is how supportive my parents have been. I feel awful putting them through this, even though I’m covering my own legal expenses out of guilt. The only silver lining is that after I got out on bond, I locked in and really started grinding and made enough money to pay for my lawyer myself and still have some left over.
Main Concerns & Questions
- BAC Level: Since I spaced my drinks out over several hours, is there a chance I was under .15, even with just a few snacks? Given that my only noticeable symptom was the smell of alcohol (no slurred speech, confusion, or unsteady behavior), could that indicate a lower BAC?
- Legal Outcome: First offense, clean record, no prior issues. Even though this is a complicated case, is there still a chance to negotiate probation without jail time? What kinds of plea deals should I expect? Has anyone been in a similar situation?
- Defense Strategy: What are some of the ways I can express to the judge that it was a mistake that I seriously never plan on never doing again (even though there should be no again)? What are tactics I can use to reduce my punishments or even potentially have this case invalidated?
I’m beyond thankful no one was hurt, but the uncertainty of what’s coming is brutal. I’ve already come to terms with tons of classes, fines, and whatever else they throw at me. At this point, I actually want to learn more about alcohol and its effects, so I don’t mind the education aspect. But what I am worried about is having to deal with jail time and that scares me.
If anyone has advice, experiences, or just words of encouragement, I’d appreciate it. Keep it real with me, but don’t be too harsh but I don't want sugar coating either. Also, I’m planning to get checked out for possible livekidney issues since I think alcohol affects me differently than it should. Is this something I can use in my defense if its found I have some kind of issue down there?
Thanks for reading.

2025.01.31 01:11 Hot-Acanthisitta5237 Would you like Maui to be as developed as Oahu/Honolulu?
Hello! I'm new here and really enjoy the topics and threads! I'm particularly more interested in Maui because of its beauty and I guess slower pace environment?
But, I've always been curious when doing research of Hawaii if other islands like Maui will be as developed as Oahu is? Do you think Maui should diversify and not just rely on tourism? What are ways Maui can on par as Oahu is??

2025.01.31 01:11 inclusionagent I am the teacher of a student that is being segregated from the class
I’m sorry this is so long but I need advice!! I am tired of this whole ordeal. I teach second grade at a very small public school in Pennsylvania. I have 19 students. One of my students, let’s call him Tom, is being segregated from his peers for making some threats. Let me back up to the entire story. This student has a 504 plan with about 17 accommodations. One of them is to have headphones when he needs them. Our class is loud. In September, Tom was doing great. He was barely using the headphones and he seemed fine. Mom came to me and mentioned he was acting out at home. I told her that he was doing great at school and no problems had been reported by him. Nothing felt off about him. A few weeks later, he threatened to harm himself. He knew how and had a plan. I was made aware of this and was being watchful of him. The next week, Tom starts acting off in class. He is sitting in his chair that was tipped over. Upside down in his chair. Behaviors I had not seen all year. I late talked to him, knowing he had made previous threats. I asked him if anything was wrong. He told me yes but I don’t want to tell you. I told him that “I now have to tell someone else. Can you tell me if you plan on harming yourself or others?” He said both. At that point, I called our principal, relayed the story, and they called in crisis. He doubled down on everything. Had a plan to hurt people, how to hurt them, where to find the weapons, a list of who to hurt. A bunch of things happened from there. That happened mid-October Fast forward to November. We have made a safety plan, he is coming back to school. We had a great day….. until he threatens a few kids to hurt them and their families. Crisis is called again and he is suspended again. He is brought back but in a tiny room for weeks with a non-certified paraprofessional. He has little to no contact with peers. He isn’t allowed to attend school functions. He goes to the doctors, gets some new diagnoses that the school psychiatrist won’t take. The doctor says he is not a harm to himself or others. They begin to slowly bring him back into the classroom but they won’t allow him to participate in any of the fun stuff. At one point, the principal tells me something similar happened to their son. I am beginning to believe that this principal is taking their past experiences out on this kid. As well as making an example out of them. I want to report them to the department of education in PA. However, I am so scared to. I cannot lose my job. But I am so tired of not sticking up for this child. HELP!!!!

2025.01.31 01:11 LawrenceSellers Is the geographic range of pre-humans atypical among land animal species?
I was reading about Peking Man (homo erectus fossils in China from 780,000 years ago) which demonstrates that pre-human ancestors existed all the way from Africa to China long before civilization. My question is: how common is it to find species of land animals on different continents that are closely related enough that they are capable of interbreeding? I’m sure there are many examples of this but I’m wondering just how unusual (or not) it is. Relatedly, is it known which non-domesticated land animal species holds the record for the greatest geographic disbursement? In other words, the species where members that are capable of interbreeding can be found the furthest distance apart.

2025.01.31 01:11 deterrent-sha256 New Unstoppable Cargo. Really good. Loose fit.
I had to exchange it as I sized up but because this is loose fit while the first iteration was fitted. This fits perfectly. Not too much slack in the thighs but not tight either. I liked the first iteration as well but it's nice to have a little more slack sometimes. In the UA compression underwear I wear Large and these were Large tall pants.
Recommend these. This is my 4th pair of unstoppable. I hesitated to get them. But now I have the straight fit which is more baggy, these new cargo pants which is actually more straight tha. Straight fit but very comfortable and flattering. Then two of the original cargo pant which is fitted and more tapered like.
These are all I want to wear. Even on leg day I may start wearing them as they aren't restrictive nor do they bleed sweat. Also when I walk .y dog it's easy to put keys, wallet, dog poop bags, phones etc. Really nice pants. I hope they make casual work wear similar to this.

2025.01.31 01:11 callie12356 Should I be worried about extreme ability to pop/crack joints?
27F, (6’, ~205 pounds) only medications are rinvoq for eczema (since birth) and birth control for PCOS (since ~18).
Ever since I can remember I’ve been able to either on purpose or accidentally pop joints (elbow, knee, ankle, hip, up and down my back).
Totally not sure if this is concerning. I haven’t got a primary care as of now (new insurance, haven’t found a dr I like yet). I’m only 27 but I feel 72 sometimes. Even just getting up from the couch my elbow will crack or even my hip will pop. I have a crazy ability to pop all sorts of places up and down my back and if I turn my upper body while sitting upright at a certain angle, I can easily make myself pop somewhere around where my hips and spine meet. Most, if not all of the times I end up popping or cracking somewhere is totally on accident, however, doing everyday normal activities.
Any thoughts appreciated lol
