I want to make a set of PCBs. Each one is very simple, it should be about one square centimeter with one SOT-23-5 logic gate and one surface mounted resistor, as well as six through-holes for wires. I would want to only purchase a small quantity of them (e.g. 5), at least initially. They're not for anything critical, so reliability is important but not essential (it's okay if one of them fails).
I imagine soldering the logic gates on myself might be difficult and less reliable. On the other hand, I'm guessing the cost of PCBA is more than the the PCB and parts separately. However, I'm having trouble finding an estimate for the price. On seeedstudio, I'm getting an estimate of about $0.80 for the square centimeter PCB (which seems oddly expensive). To get an estimate for PCBA, I would have to include lots of other information it seems (e.g. bill of materials, assembly instructions), which seems like a fairly long process.
I'm new to PCBs, and I've never soldered before, so I'm wondering what your recommendation would be for purchasing a PCB and soldering the parts myself vs. purchasing a PCBA. I'm also curious if you have recommendations for the design software (I'm currently use kicad) and supplier for a simple PCB like this, or even if there's something else entirely I should try doing. My reason for using PCBs is since I want to keep it in a small footprint (about 1 cm^2), but I'm open to other options.

Memory transcript subject: Lani, Venlil Gardner Date: [standardized human time] October 27th, 2136
Next paw was when Chris would be able to go to school, we have all his supplies so as a treat me and him went on a walk through town. I was passing by Marlik’s place so went inside and greeted him.
“Good paw Marlik how are you?” Marlik turned in my direction as he was tending his plants and when he saw Chris his wool puffed up. “WHY IS THAT PREDATOR NEAR YOU?!” Marlik was panicking he dropped his water fan on the ground. “Look Marlik its fine this is just my new son” I tried to calm Marlik down and his wool only slightly went down. “Look Lani I know we’re wonderful friends but what were you thinking bring him in here” Marlik then turned to Chris and Chris just stared silently with his hands in his hoodie pockets. “Look Marlik how about you and me talk at the table while Chris just takes a look at your garden” there was brief silence.
“Fine but if that predator ruins any of my plants we’re gonna have a problem” I could hear the slight anger in his voice so we headed to the table while Chris walked into the garden marveling at its beauty.
“So you mind exposing to me why you adopted a human?” I turned away from Chris and towards Marlik. “I just felt awful for them and hearing about Chris’s case I just knew I had to take him in” Marlik then grabbed a cup and filled it with juice and took a sip. “What does your daughter think of this Lani I mean seriously don’t you think this will affect her in school?” Marlik took a big sip from his juice. “Look Marlik my daughter hopes that it will be fine I’m just worried about the other kids you know” “look Lani it’s just that you need to be careful alright, also what was so special about Chris’s situation that you chose him?” I got a bit nervous when he asked “apparently he has something called autism” Marlik was now curious when he heard this. He tilted his head “what is autism?” He took another sip of his juice. “Is a genetic thing that makes it so he’s better at problem solving but it also affects his social skills as he has trouble with that” Marlik then looked at me “so it’s kinda like Predators disease?” When I heard this I got angry. “IT IS NOTHING LIKE PREDATORS DISEASE ALRIGHT,ITS JUST HIS BRAIN!” Marlik went back a bit with his wool puffed up a bit “Look Lani just calm down I don’t mean to insult him its just that it sounds similar” I leaned over the table “well maybe you shouldn’t go around assuming things like that, I mean you say that to a full grown human who knows what will happen” when I finished saying that Chris walked into the room. “Hey you guys done talking or? Me and Marlik then turned to Chris. “Oh yeah we we’re just finishing” Chris then turned to Marlik “hey you have a wonderful garden just one question” Marlik then stared at Chris.
“And what would that be?” Chris then pointed to a statue in the garden of Venlil with wings. “Where did you buy a statue like that, I mean it looks somewhat familiar to me but I just don’t know why” Marlik than looked at the statue and then back at Chris “I bought it at a antique store in town” “okay cool hey Lani can we go now?” I looked over to Chris “yeah sure come on”
We then left Marlik’s house and started walking around the town again when Chris stopped and was staring at a building. “Hey Chris you alright?” Chris then turned to me “they actually have a vegan Mc Donald’s?, come on we have to get something to eat” Chris then grabbed me by the hand and we walked towards the restaurant and inside. We then order a couple fries, some apple and a soda. “So Lani how do you like the fries?” I turned towards Chris “they are delicious I mean I can’t believe these are made of plants and they sell them so cheap” me and Chris then talked for a bit as we walked back home.

Welcome Back to Advent's Amazing Advice! Last we left off, our group of adventurers had begun their journey and found themselves in Cragmaw Cave. After the successful defeat of Klarg, we begin Part 2, where the party will finally arrive in the town of Phandalin. If you've been using my notes for this, along with previous adventures, you'll notice that this is a slight change of pace. Since your players will be going to the town itself, it's far less linear, which means the notes must reflect that. I highly recommend either printing the town map for your players, sending it to them online, or even getting the map that comes with the essentials kit. (You can have one of the shopkeepers give the players the map)
Each location has a description along with what's happening when the players arrive. They'll be able to gather clues for what they should do next. The options currently available would be:

• Taking out the Redbrand hideout (Best option)
• Helping someone with a small side quest(Short Sidequest)
• Heading to Thundertree to find Reidoth (could lead to a TPK)

I removed a couple of options because they had nothing to do with the story and were drawn-out side quests. Instead, in future sessions, I'll be including a full adventure that will integrate with the story at large and give proper motivations for Venomfang and The Black Spider! I've tested it myself, and my players loved it!
Without further ado:

• Google Docs Notes Part 2a Phandalin: DM Notes
• (New) Link to: Phandalin Playlist
• Link to: The Complete Collection

Included in The Complete Collection are:

• A word document with all my notes, including a link to music tracks for ambience and fights
• Unique PDF for the Redbrand encounter. This includes the enemies stat block organized neatly, an initiative tracker, and a spot to mark HP.
• A map of Phandalin. If you purchase the Essentials Kit, you can get a nice map to hand out to your players too!

Update 3/20: In much of my recent work, I've been creating and including a YouTube playlist for ease of access during sessions. A lot of older works, including The LMoP didn't have this, so I'm going back and adding it to all of them! I'll be releasing those updates here for everyone to enjoy!
During my creation of these, I noticed that when it came to battles, I used the same track quite a bit. After I create the playlists for the entire campaign, I plan to revisit them once again and add many of the unique and fitting tracks that I've collected and included in all my current posts! I hope you enjoy!!!

Like, seriously, even if I negate 1-2 things, I just have to sit there for 5-10 damn minutes and watch them do card gymnastics (Runick for banishing my entire deck while recycling theirs or the 60 card deck for just spamming the field with every boss monster with an omni-negate in the world). Even after playing, what I thought, was a meta deck in Branded, its still absolutely nothing compared to this. I normally don't complain but this is stupid and boring, especially the Runick deck...how the hell is it still legal at all? I tried putting in Imperial Iron Wall, Artifact Lancea, or whatever I can to counter it but it doesn't help when I always lose the coin flip, go second and can't do a damn thing against them. It really kicks a player in their morale and their wanting to continue playing. Any advice to counter this garbage meta?

Crypto content is the practice of crafting educational and persuasive pieces to inform your readers about cryptocurrency. This type of writing can add value to your business or blog and attract NFT holders, investors, and community members alike.
Create an comprehensive content marketing strategy to guarantee that your crypto project receives the appropriate exposure and builds a vibrant crypto community. Then, communicate regularly with this group through blogs, videos, podcasts, and active communities (Reddit crypto communities in particular are popular).

Basics

Cryptocurrencies are a form of currency that operates without the need for a central authority, such as a bank. They use blockchain technology to record and verify all transactions, keeping them safe from theft or manipulation by any government.
Cryptocurrencies can be used as a form of digital money and used for purchasing both online and in real life. Some online retailers accept cryptocurrencies as payment, with traditional currencies like dollars or euros traded on exchanges.
Cryptocurrencies are still relatively new, but they're quickly gaining acceptance and increasing in popularity. They provide an alternative to traditional currencies and serve as a great means for people to transfer money around the world.
Cryptocurrencies can be used for payment of goods and services, but you should exercise caution when doing so due to potential risks. Furthermore, make sure the company you're dealing with is secure and has a good reputation.
If you're writing about cryptocurrency, it's essential to comprehend its history and operation. While much information can be found online, seeking reliable sources for accurate details about a coin's past performance and current prices is recommended.
Start by visiting the official website of a coin to gain more knowledge about its history, value and how to purchase it. Websites like CoinDesk also provide live crypto price quotes and news about various coins.
Another useful tool is a crypto calculator, which lets you compare different cryptocurrencies. This will help determine which one is the best fit for you and your wallet. Furthermore, learning about mining - the process of creating new coins - will give you greater insight into the blockchain industry and allow you to write authoritatively about it.

Trading

Cryptocurrencies are digital tokens created using blockchain technology that maintains a ledger of each transaction. This allows them to be mined without relying on traditional payment systems and is an increasingly popular way for investors to trade them.
The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, and one wrong decision can lead to devastating losses. Thus, having effective trading methods and strategies in place is essential for reducing your exposure to losses.
Technical and fundamental analysis are employed by traders to decide which coins are worth purchasing or selling. They do this by studying price charts and monitoring news for project updates. Furthermore, they monitor other elements that might influence a coin's value such as media coverage and integration into different systems.
Some traders take into account wider events like government decisions that affect cryptocurrencies. For instance, if China implements more stringent regulations on mining Bitcoin, the value of the currency could decline significantly.
However, this strategy has limited potential for large returns. If you plan to trade crypto long term, it is best to diversify your portfolio and take a more balanced approach.
As a crypto content writer, it's essential to craft persuasive and captivating writing that encourages readers to interact with your material. Doing this will increase traffic and boost the number of subscribers you have.
It's essential to include visual content in your articles, as research shows people tend to read 6.5 times longer when presented with images. This holds especially true for cryptocurrencies as visuals make it simpler for readers to comprehend complex ideas.
To become an effective crypto content writer, you need a deep-seated knowledge of the industry and be able to write persuasively about it. Furthermore, passion for what you write about should be your driving force.
To succeed as a crypto content writer, you need to create your own website. This is the best way for potential clients to view your expertise and skillset. Furthermore, it allows for the display of samples and builds trust with them.

Mining

Mining is the practice of extracting valuable geological materials such as gold, silver, copper, coal and salt from beneath the Earth's surface. This form of mineral processing dates back to prehistoric times and continues to be employed today.
Miners excavate rock and soil to extract metals, minerals, and other resources from beneath the earth with bulldozers, excavators, and other equipment. Unfortunately, this process can often lead to serious injuries or even death.
Mining is often carried out in large, industrial operations that are usually situated in remote regions with inadequate infrastructure. These operations have a devastating effect on the environment and have an enormous effect on local communities.
Small scale mining is an unconventional type of exploration that typically involves groups of men traveling together in search of sites with potentially valuable mineral or metal deposits. They may venture to places like Suriname, Guyana, and Central Africa for this purpose.
River dredging is another form of mining along rivers. Men use hydraulic suction hoses to extract gravel, mud and rocks from the riverbed as they move along. Displaced sediment causes problems for the stream's natural flow - leading to death for fish and other organisms in the process.
Miners often discharge toxic chemicals into rivers such as cyanide, mercury and methylmercury that cannot biodegrade. This contamination of rivers, streams, bays and oceans has a devastating impact on human life.
Many are drawn to mining due to its potential for long-term gains. Unfortunately, mining can also be a highly technical and laborious business that may prove discouraging if your efforts don't bear fruit.
Despite these difficulties, mining is becoming more popular with the rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Those who mine these coins do so for the reward of new digital money - known as "blockchain". Each computer on this network competes to verify transactions and earn new crypto currency through solving complex mathematical puzzles (known as "proof-of-work"); the more successful a miner, the greater their reward in coins earned.

Visuals

Videos are one of the most potent and efficient marketing formats in crypto. They can generate leads, boost brand awareness, and drive traffic to your website.
Visual content can make even complex concepts simpler to comprehend. In fact, visuals are processed 60,000 times faster by the brain than text, making video marketing an excellent medium for conveying any idea to your viewers.
Infographics are an effective content format that conveys information and facts. They may include images, charts, tables and text for added impact. A well-crafted infographic can even improve your SEO ranking as well as boost shareability on social media channels.
Animation explainer videos are an ideal choice for crypto projects. They can effectively showcase the benefits of your venture through captivating animations, motivating potential customers to join you and expand your audience.
A successful marketing agency should possess expertise in the cryptocurrency space and be able to craft high-quality content. Before hiring them, conduct background research and review their previous work portfolio as well as the team members they have onboard.
To attract new customers and foster a lasting relationship with your target audience, create useful content. This includes informing prospects about how your product can assist them in reaching their objectives.
It is essential to explain your crypto product in straightforward language so that everyone can make an informed decision about investing in your venture.
In addition, explainer videos can attract newcomers to your platform and build a loyal user base that will expand as you release new products. They could even be an effective means of increasing sales by encouraging potential customers to subscribe to your newsletter or sign up for a trial period.
Explainer videos can be an cost-effective way to generate new leads and attract potential customers. They're also great resources for sharing the latest news about your crypto project with followers.
Crypto content can be created in a variety of forms, such as blogs, articles, podcasts and videos. A well-designed blog can be an excellent way to promote your project and engage with followers. Likewise, podcasts covering industry news or upcoming events could draw potential users towards your venture.

Hello all, I am making a filter for a bait tank and need advice on what filament to use.
The 3D part will mostly be a 6" tube/pipe (to the dimensions of 6" schedule 20 pvc)
The part will be submerged in a slight salt water solution, about 1 cup of pool salt per 25 gallons of water. Also will be in the sun all day when in use.
After some research I am thinking PETG but don't know if it would be too brittle to work as pipe?
There will be zero pressure on the tube do to the nature of the filter design. The tube will act as a water barrieseparator.
I looked into Nylon and PC but the cost of those filaments are about double.
Would PLA+ be a good option vs the PETG?

The basics you already know

There are hundreds of books and guides about how to design an IQ test with statistical testing. Yet there is no accessible guide on how to design visual items like matrices/matrix reasoning. This will be a very low-brow intro to how to become top level in just days.
Below in Table 2 you can see how well the various item groups on one of the most popular children IQ test measure intelligence. Matrix reasoning does fairly well. Right below math, vocabulary, and trivia items.
https://i.imgur.com/YvaxwHl.png
The above table is for WISC. The adult version of the same test is called WAIS. It features similar item groups and they are described in Table 9.1 below.
https://i.imgur.com/oBQgYb9.png
Of course there are 100 other ways to measure intelligence. While the crystalized intelligence tests focused on vocabulary are great and fast they are not ideal for measuring fluid intelligence which is the raw brain power no matter the knowledge acquired.
Below is an example of matrix reasoning from WISC defined as “select the item that completes the matrix”. This is not an official item, but it looks close to what you find in legit IQ tests.
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1089/7850/products/wisc_matrix__57333.1410563234.1280.1280__08155_2048x.jpeg?v=1483559713
To replicate this level of design you need to have a bunch of panels then a missing piece people can select from a range of answer options. Usually you have 5 to 8 answer options to pick from. With 5 options a random guess will give you a 20% likelihood of guessing right by chance. Which is very high, but it makes for a simple test where the puzzle element is the focus of attention and random noise is kept to a minimum. Keep in mind answer options takes some time to design so start with only 5.
The item needs to be visually clear and big enough to clearly see all details on a smartphone. Some people have bad vision and it’s also not fun to spend 20-30 seconds on just trying to look through a puzzle and the answer options. It’s way more fun and relaxing to just do the puzzle right away. Everything needs to be clear besides the solution.

Adobe Illustrator

I will explain what you need to know to create such a puzzle is Adobe Illustrator.
The new versions require brand new PCs. But if you can get the 2018 version it will run fine. Though keep in mind Adobe software is very buggy so the 2018 version has a ton of huge bugs in simple tools so you need to learn how to work around that. It will take you about a week to learn Adobe Illustrator on a level where you can make puzzles in higher quality than what you find in the WAIS test. It's very easy. It's just a step above Paint. And much easier than Paint 3D.
Adobe Illustrator saves files in a vector format where even if you print or save the image the size of a house it will be exactly the same quality as if it was a small PC image - as you draw in vectors/lines not pixels. This is amazing for IQ matrices as the quality is perfect no matter what.
First thing. The image below shows the Artboard Tool. An AI file can consist of different canvases/images. You can save them as a single image file or as individual files. This is useful if you want to create an online test where people just click the answer panel itself instead of selecting a letter or number somewhere below the image.
https://i.imgur.com/434EtEu.png
Secondly, turn on the grid in the View menu. As you see below it creates squares. And Snap to Grid makes sure everything you draw snaps to these grids which means that everything will be 100% symmetrical right away without you needing to move anything around. You can then go into “Edit - Preferences - Guides & Grid” to adjust the grid size. Take note of the size of your canvas to create grids that make all your matrix panels symmetrical.
https://i.imgur.com/AhD8Zei.png
Only tools you need from the side menu are Line Segment Tool for drawing lines and the shape tool for drawing various shapes. And furthermore the Eyedropper Tool and Shape Builder Tool are quite handy shortcut tools for more advanced users. The Shape Builder Tool can cut and combine objects while the Eyedropper tool just colors them the same color you select somewhere else. You can also use the Select menu to select all shapes of a certain color then recolor them with a click.
https://i.imgur.com/ihtK3JV.png
Just by using the line and shape tool you can draw symmetrical shapes using the grid to measure everything as it snaps into place. The Line Segment Tool also has options for rounded corners.
https://i.imgur.com/1xIvhMT.png
That’s it. This takes 5 minutes to learn in Adobe Illustrator. If you look up beginner guides on Youtube they will have you create beautiful illustrations in just a day. It really is this simple. You are welcome to ask me for help if you get stuck somewhere. I like helping out.
Perfect intro guide. This guy is a king: https://youtu.be/Ib8UBwu3yGA
If you draw a line or shape over a shape and select both objects a Pathfinder menu will appear with options. Below you see an option to cut the circle in half where I drew the line. But we can also combine shapes or remove parts of them.
https://i.imgur.com/2DWGQAz.png
Below I made the WISC triangles with the shape tool. It can make squares, triangles, stars, and many other shapes in about 3 seconds. I made the rhombuses by drawing lines on the grid. Then I selected all the lines and clicked Shape Builder Tool and clicked inside the rhombus. The lines combined and became one single shape. Next we can use the text tool to add text. Resize by holding down shift so that the shape remains the same aspect ratio no matter the size. Shift also makes sure objects are 90 or 45 degrees and not crooked. In the image below you can see how I resized the letter A and then copy-pasted it into the grid lines by holding down alt and dragging it. Later I can change the text for answers options.
https://i.imgur.com/GVn8PLm.png
In the bottom right of the image above you see a color palette I made manually. I try to use it as much as possible as 8% of men are red-green colorblind. You don’t need to think about the colors if you can’t mess up anyhow. But in reality you can also just avoid using red and green of the same shade. Dark red and light green would go perfectly together and not look alike. This is something you can see for yourself by going into View - Proof Setup - Color blindness. It will show you how your drawing looks like to colorblind people.
Or upload an image or a PDF file with all images to this site to check your work.
https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulato
Below you can see the colorblind Proof Setup colors. I used 2 different colorblind palettes for the 2 rows to imitate what WISC did even though it’s silly to mix like this. You can see how blue, white, black, grey remain the same. While reds and greens fade into a brown-yellow color.
https://i.imgur.com/tVpRSNn.png
That’s it. You now understand the basics and can make your own test in no time. You can search Google for short videos on how to do each single step you are confused about. But the basics are extremely simple and will only take hours to learn. Otherwise just ask me for help.

Puzzle design basics

I have made hundreds of items in various categories so I can write about this for hours. But this is the fast and simple intro to the basics.
In a proper IQ test or just a for-fun puzzle quiz you need clear intro items. At the start of the test you show the logical rules you will apply later on in harder items. Colorshift, rotation, plus and minus, movement etc. For harder items you need a 3 by 3 grid with a missing panel or maybe 6 panels in a row with a missing panel. Either way will look clear and logical to test takers as long as you introduce it all slowly. If you have 50 items then the first 25 items will be very easy to make sure the lower IQ people can solve some of the test and to teach advanced test takers that logical rules could be found in columns instead of just rows. Don’t ever have a user tell you he was confused about what to do in the test. In the best items the test taker will see some pattern, but not see it fully right away. It’s also important that items are sorted in an Excel file by what puzzle style it is. An early intro item should present some logical solutions used later on. But don’t use 2 similar puzzles close to each other. Rotation and movement is such an obvious puzzle item that it will be used a lot, but it’s still important to not use the same logical rules for similar items as test takers will solve one and then easily apply the solution to everything else.
The hardest part is making the answer options. With only 5 options the answer options will be extremely crucial to figuring out the solution. Which is why the test should not reveal the answers too directly. A bad test will for example too often have the correct answer share some rotation or color with 2-3 other options. While totally wrong answers will look unique in every way. You can reveal some of the answer like the rotation or color, but try not to reveal everything. An AI just guessing on the answers with most in common with other answers, without even looking at the question itself, will likely do quite well on an IQ test.
Unfortunately people who never attended school will not be able to take a matrice test. Their IQ is very low anyhow, but they also just don’t have any test taking training. It’s the same issue we have with word tests. You need to read to be able to take them. This matrix design is universal, but maybe only for people who have attended basic schooling.
The famous Raven’s matrice test has over 200 items in an online database where each test is created by combining items of specific difficulty levels and of different puzzle solutions. This way no online test is the same yet all are equally difficult and varied. Once you have the difficulty level, puzzle solution, and g loading for each item you are good to go and can combine items into a single test.

Looking for testers

I'm right now looking for 50 testers for a batch of items. We are making a free online IQ test with some very creative ideas for how it will work. If you have interest please send me a DM and if I get 25+ DMs I will send everyone a link. It's very important that we get people who have the time and energy to take it seriously and not just look at items for fun as otherwise it will mess up our data - as I was told by EqusB who instructed me about this. The next item batch will have a stopwatch of 25 min. Prolific was not a success as people often just spent 9 min on a 30 min test. So I'm looking for more focused people and hopefully I can find a few here. I also welcome ideas on design, colors, puzzles. Anything really. We are all learning.
I will make a post about this test. Keep in mind this is NOT an IQ test yet. Just a collection of raw items. We need way more testing before it's done. So it's not a test you take for fun and then get a score. Hopefully it will be fun to just solve puzzles.

I have this mechanism that puts me to sleep in less than 5 min:
I think about trying to find comfort in a non-comfortable situation.
It can be something like:
1- I'm "lost" in a forest with just a few thing in my backpack and I need to make fire and a shelter. Sometimes it takes like 3 months of sleep for me to make the damn fire, cause I sleep during the picking wood part constantly.
2- I'm a medieval peasant picking veggies in a stormy weather and going back to my medieval house to make myself a warm soup...
Do you have any of this kind of mechanisms, or others completely different?

Welcome Back to Advent's Amazing Advice! Last we left off, our group of adventurers had begun their journey and found themselves in Cragmaw Cave. After the successful defeat of Klarg, we begin Part 2, where the party will finally arrive in the town of Phandalin. If you've been using my notes for this, along with previous adventures, you'll notice that this is a slight change of pace. Since your players will be going to the town itself, it's far less linear, which means the notes must reflect that. I highly recommend either printing the town map for your players, sending it to them online, or even getting the map that comes with the essentials kit. (You can have one of the shopkeepers give the players the map)
Each location has a description along with what's happening when the players arrive. They'll be able to gather clues for what they should do next. The options currently available would be:

• Taking out the Redbrand hideout (Best option)
• Helping someone with a small side quest(Short Sidequest)
• Heading to Thundertree to find Reidoth (could lead to a TPK)

I removed a couple of options because they had nothing to do with the story and were drawn-out side quests. Instead, in future sessions, I'll be including a full adventure that will integrate with the story at large and give proper motivations for Venomfang and The Black Spider! I've tested it myself, and my players loved it!
Without further ado:

• Google Docs Notes Part 2a Phandalin: DM Notes
• (New) Link to: Phandalin Playlist
• Link to: The Complete Collection

Included in The Complete Collection are:

• A word document with all my notes, including a link to music tracks for ambience and fights
• Unique PDF for the Redbrand encounter. This includes the enemies stat block organized neatly, an initiative tracker, and a spot to mark HP.
• A map of Phandalin. If you purchase the Essentials Kit, you can get a nice map to hand out to your players too!

Update 3/20: In much of my recent work, I've been creating and including a YouTube playlist for ease of access during sessions. A lot of older works, including The LMoP didn't have this, so I'm going back and adding it to all of them! I'll be releasing those updates here for everyone to enjoy!
During my creation of these, I noticed that when it came to battles, I used the same track quite a bit. After I create the playlists for the entire campaign, I plan to revisit them once again and add many of the unique and fitting tracks that I've collected and included in all my current posts! I hope you enjoy!!!

I heard about FeelFree on The Skinny Confidential podcast last March. I was going through a tough time, was considering going on antidepressants or anxiety meds, and felt like these things saved me. I trust a lot of what they recommend on that pod and listened to the episode they did with JW Ross the Botanic Tonics founder and really thought these things were a healthy legit alternative, and they had a 40% code at the time.
For a while I really ignored how addicted I had become to this tonic but started looking into it a few months ago and found everyone here sharing their experiences. I've been in denial since then, still having 3-5 bottles a day, spending at least $600/mo on these damn things. I ordered them from the site and also got them locally, a lot of the head shops around here are regularly sold out of them. A lot of people are getting onto this stuff.
I've always been a consistent drinker too (not heavily but at least 1 drink/day for 6 years). I'm 2 weeks into no alcohol and ready to kick FF too.
So sick of buying this stuff and these damn blue bottles everywhere. But I know I can do it and you guys are inspiring me to!

To make your own site with WordPress, you can follow these basic steps:

1. Choose a domain name and web hosting provider: You will need a domain name, which is the address of your website, and a web hosting provider, which will host your website files and make it accessible on the internet.
2. Install WordPress: Most web hosting providers offer a one-click installation of WordPress, which will install WordPress on your hosting account.
3. Choose a theme: WordPress offers many free and paid themes that you can use to customize the look and feel of your website.
4. Install plugins: WordPress plugins allow you to add functionality to your website, such as contact forms, social media integration, and search engine optimization (SEO).
5. Create content: You can create posts and pages to add content to your website, such as blog posts, product pages, or an About Us page.
6. Customize your website: You can further customize your website by adding widgets, customizing the layout, and adding custom code.

The cost of building a WordPress site from scratch can vary depending on your needs and budget. Here are some potential costs to consider:

1. Domain name: A domain name can cost anywhere from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars per year.
2. Web hosting: Web hosting can cost anywhere from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars per year, depending on the hosting provider and hosting plan you choose.
3. Premium themes and plugins: Premium themes and plugins can cost anywhere from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars each.
4. Custom design and development: If you want a custom-designed website, you may need to hire a designer and/or developer, which can add significant costs.

In summary, building a WordPress site from scratch can be done with a relatively small budget, but costs can vary depending on your needs and the amount of customization required.
