2024.05.29 08:29 CornerCornDog The True Scope of Mario's Cosmology

Alright! So my poll for my next blog post actually ended with a tie between Dimensional Tiering and Mario Cosmology, so I’m gonna just choose for myself which one I want to do first. I actually voted for Dimensional Tiering, but thinking about it again Mario cosmology is super interesting and I really want to talk about that first. Some things might have been easier to explain if I did Dimensional Tiering first, but eh whatever.
(Also this is unrelated but while finding stuff out about Sonic’s rings I found way more cool stuff so that blog is going to be “Sonic’s Rings + Extra Lives + some other stuff maybe”)
Before I get started, I’d like to shout out Vs Battle wiki and Codex wiki for having blogs about Mario cosmology. I already had a lot of what I wanted to talk about gathered but they were still invaluable assets for making this.

Part 1: The Universe

What better way to start talking about the cosmology without first talking about the main universe that Mario inhabits. We see in Super Mario Galaxy 2 that the main universe is actually much larger than first thought to be. Each world within the game is stated to be its own separate universe, as evidenced by the subtitle for World 2 in Japanese being “A New Universe” (I personally double-checked with Google Translate, ChatGPT, and DeepL and they all came back as the same thing. I know these translators aren’t that trustworthy typically, but for a short phrase like this, getting the same thing on all of them is telling). This is also consistent with the English version, where Lubba states that each of these worlds is in a different space and time. This also means that physically traveling between worlds without using the portals would be immeasurable speed since it would be traveling beyond space and time, heck Luigi seems to be traveling across the universe without mention of the portals either, since he doesn’t have a Grand Star to make the portals.
Despite being separate universes, we know for a fact that they are all still within “the universe” thanks to Bowser’s Galaxy Generator being located at “the center of the universe”. Bowser is saying this while being on Mario’s main planet (which is in the first world), meaning that they would be in the same Universe despite being in separate universe-sized space-times.
Think of it being similar to Dragon Ball’s Universe 7. Universe 7 is called its own universe, and yet contains within it multiple different space-times, which themselves are sometimes called universes as well. The separate space-times in Mario’s universe are themselves universe-sized and are contained within the larger macrocosm of The Universe. This means that Mario’s universe contains at least 7 spacetimes, but through volume scaling could potentially reach much higher, up to over 13 thousand times the size of our universe.
This is just the minimum however, as there is something else that could potentially push the universe much higher, and that would be…

Part 2: Dreams and The Dream Depot

If you’re familiar with me, and Mario scaling on this sub in general, then you may have seen this blog post where I argued for an infinite amount of dreams within the series, using paint from Paper Mario Color Splash as one of my main arguments. I still stand by that argument, however there is a much easier way to prove that infinite dream dimensions exist without extrapolating as much. Once again shoutout to this blog on Vs Battle wiki for a lot of this information.
It is stated in BS Super Mario USA that there are as many Subcons as there are dreamers in existence (here’s another translation for consistency). Mario Party 5 backs this up, saying that many new dreams arrive at the Dream Depot every day. Mario & Luigi Dream Team also shows onscreen that when a person falls asleep, a dream world is created. Everyone’s dreams are shown to be separate as well, as Luigi was normally incapable of having the same dream as Bowser without specific requirements. So it stands to reason that we can find the amount of dream worlds by finding how many beings there are.
Well, the Official Super Mario Odyssey guide (that is officially licensed by Nintendo) states that there is a secret area in the Ruined Kingdom populated with infinite Chinchos. It should be noted that this isn’t referring to them respawning, as Chinchos don’t have the natural ability to respawn after being defeated. This is specifically referring to the amount of Chinchos inhabiting this place. So we know for a fact that there are an infinite amount of Chinchos.
Chinchos are specified to be ghosts, undead Tostarenans. You could possibly be thinking that this could prevent them from sleeping and dreaming, but ghosts have been shown to sleep and dream multiple times throughout the series. In the Luigi’s Mansion series, several ghosts are shown sleeping multiple times. Boo was also invited to the Dream Depot in Mario Party 5, which it was specified the Star Guards did to those who could dream. There are several undead characters noted to sleep and dream as well, such as Yikk stating that now that his physical body is gone, all he does is slumber and dream. Mario, after being turned into a Boo, also is shown falling asleep. Additionally, Tostarenans themselves are stated to dream in a different officially licensed Super Mario Odyssey book.
There are several other pieces of evidence for an infinite amount of beings in the Mario world, but this should be enough to definitively say that there are infinite dream worlds within the Dream Depot. If you are curious about more arguments backing this up, I highly recommend this blog once again. This blog also has a pretty well made, separate argument for infinite dreams, so I would check that out as well. Additionally, falling asleep within dreams is possible and would create more dream worlds again. Regardless, it is proven that the Dream Depot houses an infinite amount of dreams, as the Dream Depot houses everyone’s dreams.
How do we know dreams are universe-sized? Well several pieces of evidence point to this. First off, Subcon is stated to be a universe multiple times. Future Dream in Mario Party 5 was also stated to be a universe by Misstar, Eldstar, and even the manual. In the Japanese version, Eldstar even refers to Future Dream as infinite in size. There could even be arguments for higher, as each Subcon also has a Subspace, a separate dimension within the same dream called a “dark mirror world”, and the Zeekeeper is shown flying into other dimensions while remaining in the same dream as well. This would mean that each Dream World is at least a Uni+, possibly Low Multi structure.
But here’s where it gets really interesting. We see the Dream Depot in the menu in Mario Party 5 and get a better look at it in the credits, and from this we can see that every dream world is physically kept there separate from each other, with plenty of room to spare. Now this is why it would’ve been at least a little bit easier to explain Dimensional Tiering first, but because Dream Worlds are infinite 3D spaces, the Dream Depot being able to contain an infinite amount of infinite 3D spaces and still having plenty of room left over would necessarily make it larger than the infinite 4D multiverse (3 dimensions of space + 1 dimension of time), making it 5D. In other words, an infinite amount of infinite 4D realms was not large enough to come close to filling the Dream Depot, making it “more infinite” than infinite 4D, thus being 5D.
Now why is this relevant to the main universe? Well, it is because the Dream Depot is stated to be located within the main universe itself, being within the night sky beyond the stars. In order to contain the Dream Depot within the main universe, the universe itself would need to at least match it in dimensionality, being 5D itself. Funnily enough, this is actually consistent with another part of Mario’s main universe, that being…

Part 3: Matter Splatter Galaxy

Matter Splatter Galaxy is a level in the first Super Mario Galaxy game featuring the mission Watch Your Step. In the Japanese version, this level is called “The Path Shown by Hyperspace”, even including the specific Kanji 超 which can be translated as “transcend”, “super-”, or “more than”. Now obviously “hyperspace” can mean several different things, with one definition being that it is an area where FTL travel is possible (typically used in a science fiction setting), and this definition is still used in Japan as well. This can make it difficult to exactly say that this “hyperspace” is truly referring to a higher dimension.
What is often done in similar situations is to look at how the word was translated into other languages, and looking at that you get a pretty consistent result almost every time). Chinese and Spanish specifically translate it as “hyperdimensional”, while German translates it as “Superspace”, which both specifically refer to higher spatial dimensions and not anything else in science fiction. It seems pretty clear that, intention-wise, the meaning of the phrase was meant to be referring to a higher spatial dimension.
As Matter Splatter Galaxy is a physical location within the universe, similar to the Dream Depot, in order for the universe to contain the entirety of it, it would need to at least match it in dimensionality, and as such is another piece of evidence for the main universe being 5D. While I could potentially still see someone not buying it because of the different definitions of hyperspace, personally I feel that the consistency with other translations, as well as the Dream Depot already providing the main universe as 5D, means that saying that Matter Splatter Galaxy is 5D makes sense.
In any case, whether you want to go with Matter Splatter or the Dream Depot, the main Mario universe should likely be 5D in scope.

Part 4: Alternate Dimensions

There are several locations within the Mario universe that are within another dimension. Note that most of these are not given an official size, so it is difficult to prove that they are entire universes. However, they are certainly within different dimensional spaces, so they should be listed regardless. They are as follows:

The Shake Dimension from Wario Land: Shake It
The Banana Dimension from Donkey Kong Country Returns, which is specifically noted to be a separate dimension by Cranky Kong
Smithy from Super Mario RPG is said to be from an alternate world
Also from Super Mario RPG, Culex is from a different world
In Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, there is a person that is shown to be living in a different world to Mario
The Paranormal Dimension is a dimension seen in Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon
- However, it is very possible that this is the same dimension as something that will be discussed later, which would actually make it much larger

These are actually the only dimensions throughout the series that give no indication on how large they are.

Part 5: Painting Worlds

The Painting Words from Super Mario 64 are stated to be separate dimensions, as they are called “another world” and are explicitly separate from “the real world”. They should likely be infinite 3D spaces, as Shifting Sand Land is stated to have infinite underworlds, and, though more debatably, Tick Tock Clock is stated to literally have no bottom. This is backed up with them being “another” world in comparison to “the real world”, which would likely imply a comparable size. They also have their own axis of time separate from the main universe and each other, as some levels are shown at being midday, while Big Boo’s Haunt is shown at nighttime, showing that they should each have their own axis of time, and would thus be Uni+ or 4D (3 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time).
It is possible that they could even be higher, as an in-universe theory for what Bowser was going to do was expand the worlds until they encompass all of reality, which would necessarily require them to fill up the entire 5D space of the universe. This is admittedly more debatable, as even in-universe it was just a theory, but it is possible that the full scope of these worlds could be 5D in order to fill up the universe. At minimum though, they should be Uni+ sized realms.
As for the amount, throughout Super Mario 64 and 64 DS, there are at least 15 from the 15 main courses in the game. There could potentially be more however, as if you consider each secret world to be its own dimension (it is a little vague as to whether or not they contribute to the “Painting Worlds” as a whole), then that would add 14 more worlds. Personally, I don’t think there’s enough evidence to say that the secret worlds are on the same scope as the other ones, especially since places like the Princess’s Secret Slide and the Secret Aquarium are implied to be within the castle itself, I think it’s safer to go with just 15 separate Painting Worlds.

Part 6: Parallel Dimensions

There are many examples in the Mario series of alternate dimensions described as being parallel. Being parallel dimensions, it stands to reason that they would need to be as large as the main universe, as that would be required in order to be “parallel”. Most of these parallel universes are, in some way, based on the main universe as well, meaning it would make sense that they would be comparable to the main universe in scope. They are as follows:

Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels features Worlds A through D after beating the game a certain number of times. This is officially called a parallel world
The dimensions seen in Super Paper Mario are all called “parallel planes” in the official guide. There are 8 separate dimensions seen in the game, being Lineland, Gloam Valley, The Bitlands, Outer Space, Land of the Cragnons, Sammer’s Kingdom (though it was destroyed, it can still be visited and gets restored at the end of the game), The Underwhere, and The Overthere. Castle Bleck is the only world that is not its own dimension, instead being located within the Void. These worlds are also referred to as endless, never-ending, and straight-up infinite, which would back them up being as large as the main universe
- Much like the Paranormal Dimension, The Overthere is potentially the same as another dimension that will be discussed later, which would make it even larger
- Flipside and Flopside are possibly included in this, though I find it somewhat unlikely. They are not full dimensions, instead being created in the space between dimensions, so I find it unlikely that they are included in the “parallel planes”
Paper Mario Color Splash has three other parallel dimensions as well, directly called parallel universes. There are three seen throughout the game, accessed through warp pipes at Vortex Island, Lighthouse Island, and Fortune Island, and each one is noted to be separate from each other since Huey states the second one they come across is “another” parallel universe.

While these are the only dimensions that are explicitly called parallel, there are many more throughout the series that have several implications that they would also be comparable to the main universe in scope.

The bonus world from the original Super Mario Bros. is a completely different world from the main world Mario is from. Given the context of the Lost Levels’s bonus world being a parallel world, it is likely that this one is too
In a similar vein, the bonus world of Super Mario Land is called an enemy-infested underworld, likely being similar to the Lost Levels’s as well
Super Luigi Galaxy is the bonus adventure in Super Mario Galaxy after collecting 120 Stars, and according to Rosalina is another separate world. Given the plot of the game is exactly the same as Super Mario galaxy, the world would have to be comparable to the main universe, as Mario/Luigi’s adventure took them across the entire universe
Super Mario 3D Land’s Special World is a clear parallel world in everything but name. It is accessed via a warp pipe and nearly every level is a parallel to a level from the main world. While this wouldn’t require it to be as large as the main universe, given the clear parallels it seems to share a close relationship with the main one similar to other bonus worlds above, and thus is likely comparable to the main one
The Darkmess Dimension from Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a separate dimension that is entered every time Mario enters combat in this game. It is stated to be connected to the main dimension and shares many of its landmarks with it, meaning it is very likely that this dimension is comparable to the main universe

These aren’t even the end of it however, as Nolrem states that everything has a front and a back, with the context being that he is referring to Flopside, the “backside” to Flipside. In this context, it is likely that every universe or dimension has a parallel to it, which would likely double the amount of universes in the cosmology, at least those that have been discussed so far. This would also line up with what we saw with Subspace within dreams from earlier, being the “backside” to every dream world.

Part 7: Even Higher Dimensions

Yes, even after all of that there’s still more to discuss. There are several dimensions within the verse that are noted to be transcendent to the main reality, and thus would be even higher than 5D, being 6D.
To start, Cutout is a technique in Paper Mario Color Splash that lets Mario exit their dimension and view it as a flat surface. Notably, it is specifically referred to as transcending dimensions by Huey, and is said to be transcending the very boundaries of time and space by a Toad. Because of this, the dimension accessed by Cutout would not only be separate from Mario’s dimension, but completely transcendent to it, viewing the entire universe as a lower-dimensional structure, and would thus be 6D as the main universe is 5D.
In Super Mario 64, it is said that defeating Big Boo will “put him back in his extra-dimensional place”. Extradimensional, by definition, means originating outside of the dimension/outside of space-time, which makes sense considering the “extra-” prefix means outside or beyond. While this could be interpreted as simply being a separate dimension outside of Mario’s and not necessarily transcendent to it, I wanted to list it here as a potential highball. Given the status of the Paranormal Dimension as a homeworld for the ghosts, this is the possible higher-end I was referring to earlier.
Finally, also from Paper Mario Color Splash, there is a group of deceased Toads that Mario helps called the Tea Party Toads. After Mario helps them and they have their tea party, they are said to be ascending to a higher plane of existence (here is a screenshot, though unfortunately I couldn’t find a video). Ascending to a higher plane of existence is a classic trope that doesn’t always mean a literal higher plane of reality, but given we see the Toads literally ascend higher (and given what we know about the Overthere being the afterlife, it needs to be in a separate dimension) I wanted to list it here as a potential highball as well.
Admittedly of course, those latter two are pretty shaky and debatable (though given Boos themselves are undead, they can potentially back each other up since it would be consistent for the afterlife to be higher-dimensional than the main universe), but at minimum, the Cutout dimensions should be transcendent to the main universe, and thus be 6D.

Part 8: Anything Else?

Uh no actually, that’s about it. I did want to bring up one thing that I’ve seen thrown around a lot for Mario cosmology, and that’s String Theory Soup, the bane of my existence. For those who don’t know, String Theory Soup is an item in Wario: Master of Disguise that is said to contain “all the secrets of the universe” and based on the name of the item, that must mean that Mario’s universe runs on string theory right? Well no, because in the Japanese version (which would obviously hold precedent over the English translation), it is referred to as Big Bang Soup, obviously very different to String Theory.
Honestly all I really wanted to cover in this part is the String Theory Soup. It’s really as simple as “String Theory Soup doesn’t actually exist” and that’s that. I could bring up more, like it being incredibly vague and String Theory not having a definitive definition in general, with there being multiple very different versions of String Theory to begin with, but it being a mistranslation already solidifies it as not legitimate.

Conclusion

Individual dream worlds are at least Uni+, likely Low Multi structures, with there being an infinite amount of them with the Dream Depot
The Dream Depot is 5-D due to containing an infinite amount of dream worlds and having plenty of room left over, which would require an extra dimension in order to contain all of them
The main universe is at least a Low Multi structure thanks to containing 7 different spacetimes, and is likely 5-D due to containing the entire Dream Depot in it, as well as the higher dimensions of Matter Splatter Galaxy
The Painting Worlds are at least Uni+, but likely can reach 5-D thanks to being able to extend across all of reality
There are at least 12 parallel worlds, likely more, that would also be 5-D due to being parallel to the main universe
The Cutout Dimension is 6-D due to being transcendental to the main 5-D universe, and two other realms debatably match it as well
There are several other dimensions that don’t have an official size

I don’t want to make this any longer than it already is by explaining scaling or anything like that, so I hope you enjoyed reading this. I had a lot of fun writing this and figuring out everything, and expect the Dimensional Tiering post some time in the future. Thanks!

2024.05.29 08:08 Weekendengineerr Congratulations! 🥳 FFIE gets Nasdaq's approval to continue listing.

According to Faraday Future (referred to as "FF"), the company has received approval for continued trading on NASDAQ. Jia Yueting, the founder and CPUO of the company, revealed that since we officially proposed the "FF Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy," we have received many questions from friends. The company has answers to these questions and plans to officially release the "China-US Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy" in about a month, explaining these ten major questions. This is also the first phase of the "FF Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy." Here is a summary of the ten major questions:

What is the "FF Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy"? What value can it create for the relevant parties?
What value can be released from FF's ten years of accumulated advantages in American localization?
Many people are concerned about why we don't combine FF's cutting-edge advantages with the cost advantages of the Chinese supply chain to launch mass-produced popular models in the United States?
Can the popular models launched through the "Bridge Strategy" sell well in the United States?
The unbearable cost of trial and error and time costs have caused countless global car companies trying to enter the United States to fail. Recently, the U.S. government has imposed a 100% import tariff on Chinese complete vehicles. Is there still a chance for Chinese cars and products to enter the U.S. market?
Does the current U.S. automotive industry need the "China-US Bridge"? Can the unique FF turn this seemingly dead end into an opportunity?
The domestic market is highly competitive, and many Chinese car companies find it difficult to make a profit. How can we create new profit growth points for Chinese car companies? How can we make a wide range of Chinese car products go global, achieve supply chain expansion, technology expansion, and the ability to establish standards and systems, and build a global manufacturing instead of just "Made in China"?
The U.S. automotive market is a seller's market, while China is a buyer's market. Chinese AI EVs have high cost-effectiveness, and users have a wide range of choices. In contrast, the U.S. electric vehicle market is dominated by Tesla, and people have no other options. How can the unfortunate situation of U.S. users be changed to maximize their interests?
If we can introduce China's high-quality and efficient supply chain into the United States, while ensuring data security, can it drive the upgrading of the U.S. AI EV industry, promote consumption upgrading, and stimulate employment?
Although FF has advanced cutting-edge technology that is compatible with the U.S. automotive ecosystem and has advantages in compliance and market access, is there enough financial support to realize the "Bridge Strategy"?

In addition, during the company's Q4 2023 and full-year financial performance conference call held today, FF management shared the major milestones of 2023, business growth initiatives, and important plans for 2024. FF stated that with the successful submission of the 2023 10-K financial report, the company has met one of the listing compliance requirements and is actively working on the 2024 Q1 10-Q quarterly report. FF also emphasized that all the authorized shares approved at the previous shareholders' meeting have already been issued, and in the future, there will be no new share issuance unless the company obtains shareholder approval to increase the total authorized shares. Jia Yueting stated that as an important part of the FF China-US dual home and dual gene strategy, the "Bridge Strategy" will use FF's unique value to integrate the advantages of the U.S. automotive industry with the advantages of Chinese automotive companies and supply chains, creating original value for the China-US automotive industry, FF strategic partners, OEMs, supply chains, and FF itself. This year marks the tenth anniversary of FF's establishment and the tenth anniversary of the "SEE Plan." In the new trend of industrial development, the new original value may have the best opportunity to explode for the automotive industry, FF, and our "Bridge Strategy" partners. Jia Yueting stated in the video that since the proposal of the "FF Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy," the company has received more and more cooperation intentions and is now in preliminary discussions with several mainstream global automakers and suppliers on how FF can build a bridge for the China-US automotive industry through industrial coordination and cooperation. According to Jia Yueting, the company has received many questions, which can be roughly summarized into four categories: FF, the Chinese automotive industry, Chinese car companies, and the American automotive industry and market. Jia Yueting revealed that the company has answers to these questions and plans to officially release the "China-US Automotive Industry Bridge Strategy" in about a month, explaining these ten major questions. Jia Yueting stated that the FF "Bridge Strategy" will empower the four major full-value chains: 1. Product, technology, research and development, and vehicle engineering empowerment. 2. Production manufacturing, compliance certification access. 3. User ecosystem construction, including brand, marketing, sales, after-sales, and user operations. 4. Global profit empowerment and capital value empowerment. "We hope to not only bring high-quality and low-cost Chinese supply chains to provide high-quality and low-priced products to American users but also empower the core technology used in the FF 91, which is priced at over 300,000 US dollars, in popular models through the full-value chain, allowing American users to enjoy the experience of 'extreme intelligence technology luxury,' promoting the overseas expansion of Chinese automotive companies and products, and accelerating the popularization and development of the U.S. AI EV industry." Jia Yueting said. It is worth mentioning that since Jia Yueting announced the commercialization of his personal IP and the "FF Bridge Strategy" in early May, FF's stock price has set a historical record of a 90-fold increase within a week. During this period, it triggered 15 circuit breakers overnight, and Chinese and American retail investors jointly fought against Wall Street short sellers for the first time, marking a milestone event. This helped FF achieve an epic turnaround on the verge of delisting. At that time, Wall Street analysts stated that FF's surge set a new historical record for Jia Yueting and FF on NASDAQ, reflecting the value of Jia Yueting's personal IP commercialization and FF as a bridge between China and the United States. Currently, FF is considering adjusting its company strategy and returning to the early dual-brand strategy to differentiate itself in segmented markets. This will allow the company's high-value "extreme intelligence technology luxury" solutions and I.A.I (Internet, Autonomous Driving, Intelligence) technology functions to be integrated into more mainstream segmented market products. In the financial report, FF stated that the "China-US Automotive Industry Bridge" is a light-asset, fast-paced, high-value model. FF can provide five platforms out of the four technical systems and six technical platforms in the "FF aiHyper 6x4 Architecture 2.0" technology architecture. These AI technology platforms and vehicle software systems will become the intelligence, soul, and neural network of vehicles. In addition to professional knowledge and capabilities in product and technology, the company's contributions to this strategy include regulatory processes, the state-of-the-art FF ieFactory manufacturing plant in Hanford, and the establishment of a user ecosystem. During the financial report communication meeting, FF also announced its major work plan for 2024, stating that with the continuous advancement of operational initiatives, the main focus of 2024 is to increase production capacity. While ramping up production, the company has also initiated quality improvement work. In 2023, the factory achieved a series of achievements, including debugging robot body workshops and painting workshops, streamlining vehicle assembly processes, and improving throughput capacity. FF introduced that to strengthen the right to speak on quality, the company merged supplier quality, manufacturing quality, and after-sales quality organizations to improve communication and shorten response cycles. The company has doubled its efforts to ensure quality assurance at each stage, helping to establish a culture of continuous improvement. Currently, a stronger quality culture is being established, with a focus on improving customer satisfaction. Each vehicle undergoes comprehensive static, dynamic, and functional inspections to fulfill the quality commitment to users. As a result, the company's final Customer Craftsmanship Audit (CCA) score has increased by 50% compared to the first CCA. Under the keen eye of automotive manufacturing expert Ning Xiaoyang, our automotive manufacturing quality has continued to improve significantly in assembly, surface treatment, and vehicle functionality.

When the Whopper Pepper Plant arrived, I was eager to try the oversized bell peppers that the plant claims to yield. I carefully followed the planting instructions and soon saw the tiny seedlings sprouting. With time and care, the plants grew into sturdy, healthy ones.
As the peppers started to emerge, I was mesmerized by their size—these weren't your average bell peppers! I picked a few immature ones first, which were perfect for salads and sautéing. The flavors were remarkable, and I even noticed them being rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
However, when the peppers started to ripen, I noticed a slight issue—they attracted pests that started to damage the fruits. This was a disappointment, given the amount of effort that went into nurturing these plants.
Despite the pests, I still appreciated the Whopper Pepper Plant for its unique and delicious produce. The large peppers not only looked eye-catching but also added a burst of flavor to my dishes. I would recommend this plant for anyone looking for something different in their garden, but also be prepared for potential pest issues.

The refreshing crunch of the cucumbers combined with the zesty habanero peppers really packs a flavorful punch. I'm all about trying new things, and these pickles certainly add some heat to my food.
One of the things I truly appreciate is the use of fresh ingredients like onions, garlic, and an abundance of fragrant dill. They add a wonderful aroma that lingers in the fridge, making these pickles a delight to have on hand.
However, one thing to keep in mind is that these pickles are definitely not for the faint of heart. Their heat intensity can be quite potent, so they may not be suitable for those who prefer milder flavors.

The diced bell peppers are perfect for adding depth to my soups, stews, marinades, sauces, and dips. I love how convenient they are, and the fact that they're dehydrated makes them easily storeable without losing any of their delicious flavour.
One of the highlights of this product is its versatility. It's great for any dish that calls for fresh bell peppers, and they rehydrate quite easily by soaking them in hot water for a short period. This means you can use them just like fresh bell peppers if you're out of fresh ones. The packaging is also a plus, as it's a disc cap which makes it easy to store and keep the product fresh.

Upon opening the grinder, I was greeted with a delightful and fresh aroma of pink peppercorns. The initial bites of the peppercorns revealed a mild peppery taste with a touch of fruity sweetness. This combination made for a truly memorable culinary experience, elevating my savory dishes and enhancing their overall flavor profile.
However, one issue I encountered was with the grinder itself. Despite having a sufficient amount of pink peppercorns, I found myself struggling to achieve a consistent grind. I noticed that the grinder would often produce a mix of finely ground pepper and larger pieces, which could be frustrating if one were looking for a uniformly ground spice for recipes that require precision.
In conclusion, the Frontier pink peppercorns were indeed a delightful addition to my culinary repertoire. The unique combination of flavors and the convenient grinder packaging were highlights that I appreciated. However, the inconsistency in the grind may be something to consider if one is in search of a more controlled texture for their dishes.

🔗High-Quality Brazilian Pink Peppercorns - Flavorful Addition for Meats and Seafood

https://preview.redd.it/s8g7869q1b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb6fb4dcaacf2e4c4be88ed4440b84b5a5549c52

From the get-go, I was drawn to the vibrant, blushing red husk that gently encased the tiny, earthy brown seed.

With whole, hand-harvested pink peppercorns sourced directly from the Brazilian pepper trees, I knew I was getting a high-quality product. The fact that it's packed in the USA was a plus, as I could trust the quality of the packaging and storage. Viva Doria's peppercorns were a delight to add to various dishes, from meat and seafood to soups and vegetables, and they truly added an incredible depth of flavor.
However, there were a few minor downsides to my experience. I found that the peppercorns had a slightly damp consistency, which made them a bit difficult to use on their own as a garnish. I also noticed that the peppercorns didn't grind as finely as I would have preferred, but that didn't impact their overall flavor profile.
All in all, I'd highly recommend Viva Doria's Brazilian Whole Pink Peppercorn for anyone looking to elevate their cooking game with a versatile, flavorful spice. Though the dampness and coarseness were slight drawbacks, the unique combination of flavors and high-quality sourcing make it a standout product.

Regardless of how you choose to use them, Peppadew Sweet Piquant Peppers add a delightful punch of flavor to any dish.
That being said, as with any product, there are minor cons to consider. While these peppers are delightful to taste and use, they can be a bit of a mess to handle.

The recommended distance for aiming Pepper Balls is between 3 to 10 feet. This range allows for good accuracy and ensures that the foam ball will not ricochet off an object or person, causing harm.

Can I reuse a Pepper Ball once it has been deployed?

No, Pepper Balls are designed for a single use. Once the ball breaks and the irritant is released, it becomes ineffective for further use. Dispose of the used Pepper Ball in an appropriate manner, such as in a trash can away from people and animals.

🔗Premium 38 Special Holster with ALS for SIG Sauer P365XL - Safariland Model 7378 7TS

https://preview.redd.it/0paefp9o0b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84825d5ffab9fc187ef696ffabf4ef84e7f0b655
I recently had the chance to try out the Safariland Model 7378 7TS Holster for my Sig Sauer P365XL FDE Brown, and I must say, this security holster has quickly become my go-to option. The Automatic Locking System (ALS) is a game-changer, providing a secure hold on my firearm while still allowing for a quick and natural draw thanks to the thumb release.
One of the standout features for me is the holster's low profile, which makes it easy to conceal under clothing. The combination of paddle and belt loop attachments offers flexibility for various situations and outfits, which has been incredibly convenient for me. The SafariSeven nylon blend material is not only non-abrasive but also provides excellent protection for my firearm's finish, a detail I really appreciate.
While I have enjoyed using this holster, I did notice a few downsides. The holster can be quite snug, which might make it difficult for some to insert their firearm smoothly. Additionally, while the holster offers quick access, it might not be the most discreet option for those who prefer an invisible carry.
Overall, the Safariland Model 7378 7TS Holster is a solid choice for those looking for a reliable and convenient way to carry their Sig Sauer P365XL FDE Brown. With its ease of use, excellent protection, and varied attachment options, it's certainly earned its spot in my collection.

🔗Kydex OWB Holster for H&K P30L

https://preview.redd.it/uu465noo0b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8ddc4be96e3ca532164e86be58bd81315a591c1

I've been using the C&G Holsters H&K P30L Kydex Holster for quite some time now and it has become an integral part of my daily carry. The durability of the holster is top-notch, ensuring that my P30L remains secure and accessible during my daily activities.
What sets this holster apart is its quick draw feature. It was design in a way that makes it easy to draw and holster the gun while minimizing the risk of injury or accident. This feature proved to be particularly useful during my training sessions at the range, where I had to quickly draw my gun to engage targets.
One aspect of the holster that I found remarkable was its American-made quality. It feels reassuring to know that the holster I depend on is crafted with precision and care right here in the United States.
However, there are a few cons to this holster as well. The fit might not be perfect for everyone, depending on the size and shape of your gun. Nevertheless, C&G Holsters offers a wide range of options to cater to different firearms, so it's worth checking their sizing charts before making a purchase.
In conclusion, the C&G Holsters H&K P30L Kydex Holster is a well-made and user-friendly product that has become an essential part of my daily carry. While it may not be perfect for everyone, its durability and quick draw feature make it an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable and functional holster.

🔗38 Special Leather Gun Holster with Leg Flap and Comfort Features

https://preview.redd.it/j2ovs13p0b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0dc7ee01bbda81cd6e0efa3757046394d0a7e8e9
While exploring the wild west of cowboy-style products, I happened upon the Hilason Western Right Hand Rig 38 Cal Cowboy - a genuine, reliable leather gun holster. This handgun holster impressed me with its versatility, expert craftsmanship, and practical features.
The Hilason holster's belt gun design caters to the majority of barrel lengths, effortlessly hugging anything from a 4-inch to an 8-inch long barrel. Its leather construction is not only durable but also incredibly comfortable, offering a perfect fit without any discomfort while wearing.
One of the unique features that stood out for me in this holster is its unbreakable metal core casing. I found this to be a game-changer as it kept the holster from collapsing, resulting in a sturdy structure that securely held my firearm. It also includes a helpful leather leg tie and a flap that protects the holster from any wear, enhancing the holster's durability.
However, I do have a couple of minor disappointments. Firstly, this holster lacks any additional features such as pockets or metal reinforcements for the holster, which I found to be quite underwhelming. Furthermore, the size is quite large and not suitable for a single action revolver with a barrel under 4 inches- a design flaw that might be frustrating for other users.
Despite these cons, I must say that Hilason's cowboy leather holster is an impressive find. The combination of design and craftsmanship make it a great choice for anyone who is looking for style, comfort, and durability in their gun holster. For the price, you won't find better quality and comfort. So, without further ado, I give the Hilason Western Right Hand Rig 38 Cal Cowboy four out of five stars.

🔗Soft Armor TB Series Ruger LC9/LC380 Holster with Customizable Thumb Break

https://preview.redd.it/m6g0ywip0b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a65d11da0c5e212ae4501c7a5cda8930d83ca54
I recently spent a day at the range, and I brought along my friend's Ruger LC9/LC380 handgun. I felt the need to invest in a reliable holster that would not only secure the gun but also protect its finish. That's when I discovered the Soft Armor TB Series Ruger LC9/LC380 Holster.
The holster's ambidextrous design was a game-changer for me, as someone who switches hands frequently during shooting practice. The exterior nylon shell, combined with the soft brushed tricot interior, really made a difference in terms of protecting the gun. I was especially impressed with the sight guide stitched along the spine of the holster, which helped minimize wear and tear when drawing or re-holstering the gun.
Another key feature was the fully adjustable thumb break, which perfectly balanced security and ease of use. However, one downside I noticed was the occasional snag on the holster's edge when re-holstering the gun. Overall, this holster proved to be a reliable and practical investment for my Ruger LC9/LC380. It not only provided peace of mind, but also made my range day experience more enjoyable.

🔗Taurus 38 Special Holster with Adjustable Retention and Secure Belt Clip

https://preview.redd.it/es5ehztp0b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de8907653e31b78d0edc15e97a0e29b192f68db1
The Taurus IWB Holster has proven to be a reliable and comfortable addition to my daily carry routine. Adjustable retention and cant options allow me to personalize my carry experience and feel confident that my gun will stay secure. While I appreciate the adjustable clip positioning, I found that the protective sweat guard could have been better designed to prevent contact between my gun and body.
Overall, the holster is well-made and provides a reliable, concealed carry option.

🔗Durable Hogue Glock Holster for Optimal Security and Comfort

https://preview.redd.it/o932l99q0b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7326ee5460cb392202a8783aeb48f42595e45ac5
As someone who constantly carries a Glock as part of my personal security, I can confidently say that the Hogue Ars Stg 1 Carry Holster has become my go-to. The heavy duty construction is reassuring in any situation, and the Automatic Retention System ensures my weapon stays secure and ready to deploy as needed. The fast draw with the thumb release is a feature I appreciate, as it allows me to get a handle on my gun within seconds, no matter what position it's in.
What truly stands out about this holster is its comfort and versatility. The adjustable and interchangeable paddle fits snugly to my hip, providing a comfortable and discreet fit. Its ability to switch between straight, FBI angle, and cross draw positions means I can have a holster that perfectly suits my needs. And when it's time to re-holster, the smooth action provided by the unique thumb activated unlocking mechanism makes for a seamless transition.
The only minor drawback I've faced is the occasional need to adjust the holster's position, ensuring the gun is fully secured. Besides that, the Hogue Ars Stg 1 Carry Holster has proven to be an invaluable addition to my daily routine. With its unparalleled protection and comfort, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who needs a reliable and trustworthy holster.

🔗Sig Sauer P365 X-MACRO Holster with Clip and Adjustable Cant

https://preview.redd.it/ogifh1mq0b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5cdb1f055c95d085f7ea03aa26436ac3de035863
The Sig Sauer P365 X-MACRO holster proved to be a game-changer in my daily carry. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and it's been a reliable and comfortable option. The Belt Wing Tuckable Holster is perfect for appendix carry, and the fact that it's compatible with almost any red-dot sight available in the market is a major plus.
One of the features that stood out for me is the open-muzzle design, which allows threaded barrels to pass through without any issues. The holster has an adjustable cant that allows for a customizable fit and feel. On the other hand, the protruding area on the trigger pushes against the backside of your belt to reduce printing, which is a great advantage for those who prefer a more hidden carry.
However, despite the many positives, there were a few things I didn't love about the holster. For instance, the clip attachment type might not be the best choice for people who prefer a more secure attachment method. Additionally, the holster is designed for right-handed draw only, which could be a drawback for left-handed users. To address this, I recommend Sig Sauer to consider making different versions for left-handed users as well.
Overall, the Sig Sauer P365 X-MACRO Belt Wing Tuckable Holster has been an excellent addition to my daily carry. It's comfortable, well-designed, and reliable. Even though there are a few things I'd like to see improved, I can confidently recommend it to anyone in search of a great AIWB holster.

🔗Comfortable, Adjustable S&W J-Frame Model 38 IWB Holster

https://preview.redd.it/1jsnlt3r0b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8496f9866b93b070509a5b778c9dd19f63b2974e
I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Vedder Holsters S&W J-Frame Model 38 RapidTuck—it's an inside-the-waistband holster made from premium leather and molded Kydex to fit your gun like a glove. I've been using it every day for the past few weeks, and it's been quite the experience.
One of the features that stood out the most to me was the comfort it provides due to its hybrid construction. I was particularly impressed by the soft leather, which is hand-selected and has a soft, finished backing, making it ideal for all-day carry. My gun feels great against my body while wearing this holster.
Another noteworthy aspect is the Kydex shell, which is molded to fit my gun perfectly and holds up well in extreme conditions and wear. This holster's custom sight channel for my specific gun ensures clearance with all front sights and loaded chamber indicators.
Additionally, I love its adjustability. The rock-solid spring steel clip is available in two belt sizes, and it can be adjusted up to 30 degrees in both directions, allowing for deep concealment. Plus, the adjustable ride height feature lets you position your holster just as you want it. With several color options available, there's a style for everyone!
While I've had a mostly positive experience, I must point out that setting up the holster can be a bit tricky initially, and the clip size can be a bit smaller than anticipated. Nevertheless, these minor inconveniences don't overshadow the overall quality and comfort of the J-Frame Model 38 RapidTuck.
Overall, I can confidently say the S&W J-Frame Model 38 RapidTuck by Vedder Holsters is a perfect fit for me. Its attention to detail, comfort, and versatility make it an excellent choice for those looking for a top-quality inside-the-waistband holster.

Buyer's Guide

Selecting a 38 Special holster can be a daunting task, as there are numerous options available on the market. However, by considering the following factors, you can make an informed decision and find the perfect holster for your needs.

Materials

The majority of holsters are made from leather, nylon, or Kydex. Leather holsters are typically durable and can be dressed up with a belt and holster slides.

Retention

The retention of a holster refers to how securely it holds the gun in place. Some holsters have a passive retention system, which relies on the shape of the holster and the gun to prevent it from falling out. Active retention holsters have additional mechanisms, like thumb breaks or straps, to keep the gun securely in place. Consider your personal preference and the level of security you require.

Carry Position

A 38 Special holster can be carried in various positions, including behind the hip, in front of the hip, on the beltline, or even appendix carry. The choice of carry position will depend on your personal preference, the type of clothing you wear, and your level of comfort while carrying the holster.

Adjustability

Look for a holster that can be adjusted for cant, height, and rotation. This will allow you to customize the holster to fit your body and shooting style. A good fit will make the holster more comfortable to wear and easier to access when needed.

Ease of Use

A 38 Special holster should be easy to draw from and return to, especially in high-stress situations. Practice drawing your holster and ensuring it's comfortable to use before relying on it in a critical moment.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance of your 38 Special holster will ensure its longevity and performance. Leather holsters should be conditioned regularly, while Kydex holsters may require minimal maintenance. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific care recommendations.

2024.05.29 07:39 Luis_Parson Challenge run completed. Male & Female Team comparison

I wasn't sure if this needs a spoiler or not. I have done a low level/BP challenge of the bonus stage called "Where the Wild Things March". This challenge run really made that stage more difficult. Items that increases stats and refills zeals were banned. The item that gives a character resurrection is also banned. It's called Tarachi-Tamuhiito. No unit was allowed to die. I really enjoy the combat of Prelude which is why I did this challenge. I like how in Prelude there's enough characters to make a full Male or Female team.
Male Team
Hakuoro, Dorry, Guraa, Oboro, Benawi, Kurou, Haku, Ukon, Ougi, Kiwru, Mikazuchi.
Strongest unit: Benawi
Pros

They have three Tactical Command. (Four if you have Oshtor but I don't have him) Hakuoro and Haku spent most of their time being zeal refilling stations and buffing the team, than attacking enemies. This means their levels were lower than the rest of the team.
It's a fast team. The first six fastest characters are all male. Although while Genjimaru is the fastest one in the game, he's not used due to the BP cost for his attack being 70. While Mikazuchi is 50 and he's fast too.
Benawi has the best Co-op attack in the game. It's pretty much a long range nuke that can daze enemies. Especially when combined with Morale Boost.
Three characters with resurrections. Hakuoro, Haku and Ukon can sometimes be used as bait, when it's impossible to avoid a strong enemy attack.

Cons

No healer. They can use healing items though.
No Kamyu/Urutori laser. Benawi's Co-op attack can act as this team's laser and it's way more powerful. Dorry, Guraa and Kiwru have long range final strikes.
No magic to hit Mutsumi with. This is hardly a con because the team can still find ways to get rid of her easily. Since no one has magic on the team, they can all deal damage to Dii.

Female Team
Eruruu, Aruruu, Karula, Urutori, Kamyu, Touka, Kuon, Uruuru, Nosuri, Atuy, Munechika.
Strongest unit: Eruruu
Pros

They have the two most broken DLC characters. Nosuri and Atuy. Nosuri is literally Karula but with a bow. The BP cost for her attack is only 50. Her final strike will one shot many enemies. Atuy feels like I'm using 12 characters because of her Enhanced Formation. Also she's not fragile like in the mask game. They both pretty much do the heavy lifting.
Eruruu can run up to an enemy and cast Daze/Confuse with 100% success rate. This is best done on Dii to delay Witsuarunemitea and Mutsume.
Kamyu/Urutori laser while not strong it can deal damage to multiple enemies at long range.
For some strange reason Eruruu can make the team skip the enemy's turn.

Cons

No Tactical Command so refilling zeals can be tedious.
It's a slower team but like I mentioned earlier. Eruruu can make the team skip the enemy's turn so it doesn't really matter. This weird hidden mechanic from Eruruu is the main reason I was able to win with the female team. I'm wondering why she has this.
No resurrection. No one has an extra life.
Since you're forced to use Hakuoro in most of the story stages, characters like Munechika or Uruuru will have very low damage output.
During the early parts of the bonus stage, the team will start off weak. Being unable to finish the stage as quickly as the male team. The team does become strong later.

Which team is better? I'll have to give it to the male team. Benawi's Co-op attack is really good at dealing high damage, to a group of enemies at ridiculous ranges. If they survive they become dazed. Tactical Command is a more comfortable method at refilling zeals. Especially on rank 4 and 5. This team doesn't have the turn skipping but it still manages to clear this challenge run. I wish I can use the female team without the turn skipping, but that requires removing Eruruu. The team needs her. Although even with skipping turns, this challenge was still hard with the female team so I don't know. Both teams were strong here.

🔗Hornady 16 Gauge Steel Fireproof Keypad Safe

2024.05.29 07:24 Defiant-Climate-32 How to Perform NAS Data Recovery: Step-by-Step Guide

NAS data recovery

A NAS is a network-attached storage device that provides computer systems with file access services. These devices usually have an engine that offers file services along with one or more storage devices. Consider NFS or CIFS, two file access protocols widely used by NAS.
In order to get back NAS files, we use both manual and automatic methods. Usually, when checking by hand, you have to take out the storage drives and swap them with a similar device. Prior to retrieving data from a storage drive that has suffered physical damage, it is necessary to either repair or replace it. In enterprise NAS environments, the NAS drive offers backup storage through RAID or a comparable solution. The RAID infrastructure securely stores the backup images of NAS drives, allowing for easy access and restoration when necessary.

When do you need NAS data recovery?

1. Data loss caused by a power outage
2. Data loss due to unintentional deletions
3. Malfunction in the NAS Controller
4. Harmful software attacks
NAS Data Recovery can get back all of the data on your broken NAS. The files and folders can be moved to another disk.
NAS Data Recovery can work with all single-drive, RAID-0, RAID-1, or RAID-5 NAS stations that are formatted with XFS or EXT. These stations can be made by Buffalo, Seagate, Western Digital, D Link, or Iomega.
You can connect the drives to your machine instead of the NAS unit. Windows Disk Management should be able to see all of the files. If you are trying to fix a RAID-5, you can connect one drive less than the number of drives in the NAS. It is possible to use copies of your files with NAS Data Recovery as well.
As soon as you're done running NAS Data Recovery, you should run it. There is a pro who can help you get back on your feet. Another window that looks like Explorer will show up after a while and show all the recoverable files and folders. You can now move your files to a different disk. You can also see a lot of different types of files (pictures, papers, etc.) before you copy them.
I found it simple to use NAS data recovery. It finds all the factors that are needed for recovery on its own, like the RAID start sector, block size, rotation, and drive order. You don't need to know anything about data recovery. You don't need to get any other programs.

FAQ

Is Data on a Corrupted NAS Drive Recoverable?
Yes, NAS data recovery software makes it feasible. Accessing or fixing a corrupted or damaged RAID-based NAS device requires formatting the installed NAS hard drives.
How can I get data off of a failing NAS?
If the effort at Synology data recovery fails, you can import the configuration and save the data by moving the disks to a new (same or similar model). Still operational, though, are all of the drives.
How does NAS recovery relate to me?
Network-attached storage data recovery, often referred to as NAS data recovery, is the act of recovering and restoring data from a server, infrastructure, or network attached storage device. It enables data recovery from a NAS or any of its damaged, erasable, or unreadable storage components.
Does a NAS work well for backups?
NAS (network attached storage) devices are storage devices that provide centralized storage and retrieval. They are not, however, and never should be, a backup plan. Some companies utilize them as backup solutions by accident even though they are meant to be storage devices.

🔗Truper Telescopic Steel Extension Pole

https://preview.redd.it/tvv6j0itva3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ffd985cb426632ddf80c9d3a9c5e6d5d63e56e7

I recently invested in the Unger Teleplus Modular Telescopic Extension Pole System, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer. This silver extendable pole has truly made my life easier when it comes to cleaning high and hard-to-reach areas.
One of the standout features is its modular design. The pole can be easily assembled or disassembled, allowing me to adjust its length to fit any cleaning task at hand. Its versatility means I can extend it from a mere 6 feet all the way up to 30 feet, making it perfect for tackling high windows or ceilings with ease.
The locking mechanisms on this pole add a sense of security that I've come to appreciate. They ensure the pole stays at the desired length, even when fully extended. This safety feature has given me peace of mind knowing that I won't have to worry about the pole collapsing unexpectedly while I'm using it.
Another highlight is the ErgoTec locking cone. This allows me to securely attach cleaning and maintenance tools onto the pole itself, keeping them within reach and preventing unnecessary trips down a ladder.
However, there are some minor drawbacks to this product. Firstly, the material used (anodized aluminium and nylon) makes the pole quite heavy, which can be tiring after extended periods of use. Secondly, while the locking mechanisms work well, they may require a bit of elbow grease to secure the pole firmly at specific lengths.
In conclusion, the Unger Teleplus Modular Telescopic Extension Pole System Silver is definitely worth considering if you're looking to clean high and hard-to-reach areas safely and effectively. Its versatile design, coupled with the locking mechanisms and ErgoTec locking cone, make it a valuable addition to any cleaning toolkit. Just be prepared for some heftiness and a little extra effort when locking the pole at your desired length.

Plus, the microfiber scrubber is incredibly effective at removing dirt and grime, and it's washable and reusable, which is great for the environment.
The only downside I found was that the aluminum pole is a bit bulky and may not be as portable as some might like, but that's a small price to pay for the convenience it brings. Overall, if you're in need of a reliable, extendable window washing tool, this product is definitely worth considering.

However, one small drawback I encountered is that the extension pole can be a bit heavy and cumbersome when fully extended. This may not be an issue for everyone, but it's something to keep in mind if you're planning to use it for extended periods or in tight spaces.

I especially love how easy it is to attach the fruit picking basket onto the pole. Unlike other tools that require ratcheting for every use, the DocaPole Fruit Picker only needs the basket collar to be tightened around the adapter provided before the first use. That's it!
One of its standout features is the bruise-free padding within the fruit basket. It helps protect my apples and other fruits from getting bruised while I pick them, ensuring they stay fresh and ripe until I want to eat them.

Overall, the Mr. Longarm Pro Pole Extension Pole has made my home improvement projects much more efficient and manageable.

To determine if a 30 foot extension pole is adjustable, check the product description or specifications provided by the manufacturer. Some poles may have fixed lengths, while others may be adjustable in 5 or 10-foot increments, allowing you to customize the length for each task.

What should I consider when purchasing a 30 foot extension pole?

Think about the types of tasks you will be using the pole for, and choose a material and design that best suits your needs.
Consider the weight capacity, adjustability, and ease of use and storage when choosing a 30 foot extension pole.
Always read reviews and consult the manufacturer's specifications to ensure that you are purchasing a high-quality, reliable product.

How do I assemble and disassemble a 30 foot extension pole?

Assembling and disassembling an extension pole varies depending on the design and features of the specific product. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper assembly and disassembly. Generally, you will need to connect each section of the pole by sliding them together and securely locking them in place.

2024.05.29 07:16 sociallyawkwardbitch Semaglutide 6 Month Update - Together we’ve lost 93 lbs!

Hello!
It’s been 6 months since my husband and I started taking semaglutide in November 2023. We use peptides and inject once per week in the thigh. I’m posting about our experience with semaglutide with our 6 month update! I’ve included comparison pictures, our Weight Tracking Chart and Table, our weekly notes, and overall notes. I use M for male and F for female. Read my 10 week update post!
F27 is 5’11” - SW 180, CW 145.6, GW 140
M26 is 6’0” - SW 276, CW 216.8, GW 200
Here are weight loss comparison pictures showing May 2024 vs January 2024 vs May 2023.
Here’s our experiences. I tried to include notes every week, but that didn’t always happen. :)
2/1/24
We went to Old Navy to try on jeans to see what size we are.
F - Size 10 jeans was tight in crotch area and gave me a camel toe. I fit better in a medium tank and button down compared to a large. I used to be size 12 pants and large shirt.
M - 36x30 jeans fit him well. He used to be size 38x30 in pants.
2/6/24 11th shot
F - I decided to take 0.2 mg / 7.5 units again this week. I may go up to 0.25 mg / 10 units next week?
M - is stopping this for unrelated health reasons. Plans to start taking again once he’s ready.
2/9/24
F - I’ve lost 20 lbs in 11 weeks! I now weigh 160 lbs. So proud of myself!
2/13/24 12th shot
F - I’m having occasional cravings. I will go up if my weight loss stalls for awhile.
2/21/24
F - I took my 13th shot yesterday and I went up to 10 units. It’s been 24 hours and I felt the difference today. I didn’t eat as much today compared to a couple days ago. Feeling good about it, because my weight has been stagnant for about a month now.
2/27/24 14th shot
F - I’ve definitely noticed the difference between since going up to 10 units. Experienced less cravings and felt full after eating smaller portions.
3/1/24
F - I’m noticing a more hourglass shape on the side of my stomach area. We took check in pictures this morning and compared to previous ones. My collar bones are showing more this month compared to pictures from 2/1 and 1/1. I wore a business professional outfit earlier this week and looked great! My shirt was so loose that I had to tuck it in to look nice. My pants were loose and definitely noticed a change in waist size. All of my sweatpants are loose - I wear mostly sweatpants around the house since I work from home.
M - Noticed smaller belly and man boobs. Especially compared to previous check in photos from 2/1 and 1/1!
3/2/24
F - I weigh 156 lbs. I’ve lost 24 lbs in 15.5 weeks.
M - He weighs 231.4 lbs. He’s lost 44.6 lbs in 15.5 weeks.
Together we’ve lost 68.6 pounds!
3/12/24
F - Yesterday I had a veggie burger with fries at a local burger joint. Today I noticed that I had diarrhea and I 100% believe it’s from that burger.
I ordered more of the 5 mg of semaglutide and the Small Injection Kit (1cc x 31g x 5/16) from bacteriostaticwater.com. I expect I have 2-3 weeks remaining from my first order. This time, I paid $81.60 for the peptides with shipping and $34.04 for the Small Injection Kit with shipping. $115.64 total.
We’ve only paid $227.59 total since starting this in November 2023. I’ve lost 25 lbs and my husband has lost 43 lbs since then.
3/26/24
F - Feeling good! I’ve noticed that my weight has stagnated recently. Will see if this continues the next week or so.
M - Starting his 1st shot again. He stopped taking it in January due to unrelated health reasons.
4/2/24
F - No updates.
M - He was so exhausted for a couple days.
4/13/24
F - I’m at 150 lbs - my second weight goal! My first goal was 170 and I passed that on 12/22/2023. My body fat was 28% when I first started in November and now it’s 21.3%!
M - Not much to update on. Continuing to lose weight! Both of us have experienced diarrhea this past week.
4/14/24
F - I work from home, so I don’t wear that many professional clothes anymore. I dressed up for lunch and my clothes are so loose! My girlfriend jeans are so loose that I’ll donate them. Other jeans are loose around my waist and my shirt was loose! I think I’m definitely a medium in shirts now and maybe even some small.
4/24/24
We went to Old Navy to try on jeans to see what size we are.
F - Size 10 jeans fit great in both skinny and flared! Size 8 jeans gave me a camel toe and were tight. Small in two shirts fit me better than mediums! Medium in a dress.
M - Large in dress shirt and t-shirt fit well. Pants 36x30 slim fit well.
4/25/24
M - Has been really tired in the morning these last couple weeks.
5/25/24
Haven’t had much to update. M and I recently went through our closet to donate clothes that are too big. We had a lot! We kept a few items to have them brought in to fit. We went thrifting and bought some clothes that fit us now. We had a trip this month, but we took our shot on the normal day and everything went well! We ate perfectly fine for the trip and got to enjoy some treats. The great thing is that we don’t feel bad about that!
5/28/24
I ordered more of the 5 mg of semaglutide. This time, I paid $142.50 for two bottles of the peptides with shipping. We are going through it faster since both of us are back taking it. We’ve paid $370.09 total since starting this in November 2023.
F - I weigh 145.6 lbs. I’ve lost 34.4 lbs in 28 weeks / 6 months.
M - He weighs 216.8 lbs. He’s lost 59.2 lbs in 28 weeks / 6 months.
Together we’ve lost 93.6 pounds!

2024.05.29 07:14 ydkLars My best blurta run so far

It never felt like a strugle until my team met their end at the hands of Hexia. I even got a titan bane potion but only rolled it on Turn 4 which was a little bit to late.

2024.05.29 07:13 F00kinLaserSights Anyone done Business Law as a major for their commerce degree?

Looking to swap my second major and considering business law to combine with a finance major. Could anyone that’s done CLAW give some insight into the course?
I’ve done CLAW1001 as an elective prior and enjoyed the course, are future CLAW units similar or do they deviate in their content and approach to business law? Also, I found the amount of reading quite heavy. I’m expecting at a minimum similar levels of reading content but is it significantly more in 2000 and 3000 unit CLAW courses? Does the content get significantly harder too or is it more about staying ontop of content and managing the workload?
Post graduation, is a business law major useful in the workforce? What areas did you find yourself in with this major and were the skills learnt transferable even if not directly working within business law? Could it be used as a supplementary major to finance and attaining a position in the financial industry? Do businesses requiring knowledge in business law turn to attorneys before approaching those with this major?
If anyone has information that could answer some of these questions please respond, I’m hoping to get some clarity before I make any decisions.
Thanks
