What's my boat worth

Hey. I'd like to get to know some new people. We can talk about what we get up to during the day, hobbies we're passionate about, that sorta thing. Hopefully we'll click and become friends.
It's cool if your lifestyle is different to mine. Maybe you're outdoorsy, go to the gym frequently, or enjoy cooking/baking. I'm trying to improve my lifestyle, so maybe I'll learn a thing or two from you.
Maybe we share some interests too. I'm into light-hearted superhero shows (like DC's Stargirl), and enjoy watching football. I play video games on Nintendo Switch and PC. I listen to bands such as Imagine Dragons and Walk the Moon. I've been getting back into pro wrestling recently.
If you're interested, feel free to send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself :)

Hey everyone I’m not very tech advance I know how to record my gameplay on Xbox but I’m wondering how do I record gameplay and also what me and a friend are saying? As I’m wanting to make videos we play Fortnite together he’s on ps so I’m not sure if this will make any difference, I’ve been told that I should get a capture card would this work for me?

Everywhere it says on 2nd of April but I've been waiting for every hour since past 20 hrs and it has not released yet and no information at what time.
If you know the schedule/release time please do tell and ease my anxiety.

Had a brainwave a while ago to fulfil a "when we retire" goal the wife and I have, and thought using a SMSF might be the way to go about it.

1. Setup SMSF with our joint super. Then, assuming balance is enough to purchase a home;
2. Buy an investment property with the SMSF and rent it out.
3. When we retire, knock it down and build a final home.

Questions (we have not yet consulted a financial advisor and will do, of course) which are not abundantly clear from my research;

1. What happens to the investment property when we retire? Does it just become ours, and then we're free to do with it as we please?
2. Is there tax payable at the end?
3. Hopefully we're not forced to liquidate/sell it at the end?

Am I able to swim in a fresh water spring after waiting 7 days to wet my hair, after having a keratin treatment done?
Also, what shampoos and conditioners do you recommend to protect the treatment?

Deciding between these 3 schools, not sure if MEng programs are worth it given the current situation? I heard it is quite hard to get full-time employment for the 9 months MEng program.
​
Berkeley MEng EECS: Good location but i heard courses are not so helpful
Cornell MEng CS: Courses are good but weather sucks
Columbia MSCS: More time to find internship+return offer. Decent courses but reputation slightly worse compared to other 2
​
Most people have recommended Columbia MSCS since my main goal is employment. Hope you guys can share some insights on this.

Over the past month, my mental health has been chaotic to say the least. At some point I was even convinced I was possessed. And this particular point or thought is really causing harm to my memories today. An event happened and yes, I did feel really weird during those times , my feelings were weird my thoughts were weird, it felt like I was going insane. This was after months of constant high anxiety and break downs and obsessive thoughts and just a lot of mental anguish. And a week or two of intentionally blocking my brain or supressing thoughts since my theme is mostly about trying not to think certain thoughts or feel certain things- My head hurt, my eyes hurt, my ears hurt, even my nose hurt from the constant strain, put on my normally freely wandering mind. So it felt like to protect me, my brain sort of became desensitised or detached or just plainly began to reach a level of acceptance or indifference. But it is weird because that made me feel evil instead of bringing me relief. So, the event that I was talking about : I have a memory from 2 or 3 weeks ago which, during the event, I had intrusive thoughts and distressing feelings but I was also weirdly calm during the event and after the event. I did not think much, if even at all, about the event after it happened because apart from feelings and thoughts that I have no control of, I do not think anything happened. But this happened on one of those days where I felt kind of "possessed", where thoughts that caused me anxiety didn't bother me or it even felt like I liked the thoughts(like my initial reactions to thoughts felt confusing, there was no anxiety). I forgot about this event till 3 days ago when I was finally beginning to feel better after a tough 4 months of constant anxiety,guilt,shame, stress, break downs... I was finally feeling the beginnings of optimism when the first intrusive thought or memory about the event came( I feel like it started because I had began reassuring myself with this statement : "whatever has happened these past few months, all happened in my head and i did not harm anyone so I can let all these go more easily", so it felt like my brain just had to find something else to torture me with). Even then, I laughed it off. But as time went by, more images/scenes and what ifs began popping up and at first I knew they weren't real but as the days are going by it's starting to feel even more real and I do not know how to cope, my confidence level about the event is going down and I'm beginning to believe what my brain is saying I did. I knew this would happen so I wrote down my initial feelings and the few I remembered about before and after the event but those aren't helping much at all today. Normally I will say, "I'd never do that " and forget it but I really can't this time because like I said, some days this past month and particularly that day, I didn't feel like me sometimes, i felt almost "possessed"(I do not want to say psychopathic because I do not know much about psychopathy to begin with). So my brain is using that as an argument. That I really could have done it unconsciously and just forgotten about it or not thought much of it at all. The thing my brain is saying I did is really really bad and I don't know what to do. What have you done in a similar situation ? In a situation where you want to turn yourself in? In a situation where you feel like if you never find out the truth, you'll never be able to live with yourself? I do not have access to OCD specialists or any inclusive therapists where I'm from. I cannot afford to seek out a foreign therapist. What do I do? I do not think I can ever recover that memory clearly ever and even if I did, OCD would never allow me to accept the truth. I'm not asking for reassurance. I'm genuinely asking how to live with this. How to cope when I have no access to professionals currently. Of course if I ever make enough money/leave my country I will seek someone out, but now that those do not seem like possible options, what do I do? Any tips would do. I'd feel like I'm just trying lie to myself if I just watched YouTube self help videos and did what they said because "what if" you know? I'll take any tip, any trick, prayers, warm words. I'll take anything.

As a huge Taylor fan- and now Lana’s after the new album- PLEASE you guys need to stop posting Taylor content on here. I think most people are okay with IMPORTANT things regarding both Taylor and Lana, like a new song featuring Taylor or something worth both Lana fans and Taylana fans seeing. I’m actually confused- are you guys haters who are criticizing Taylor with the Taylor’s Version memes, or Swifties that just post about her on a Lana sub for no reason? If you’re a hater, go hate on her somewhere else- why would you do it on a Lana sub, where people obviously come for LANA content? Same goes for my fellow Swifties lurking in this sub and making everything about Taylor. I love her and we all get that you do too, but please post about her on taylorswift or- if it’s a RESPECTFUL meme, youbelongwithmemes. It’s really disrespectful to the Lana fans, who definitely do not want to see Taylor content flooding the sub. The April Fools’ joke was, in my opinion, pretty funny- but stop making a big deal out of it (this goes for both the people who did not like the joke or people who liked it and now want to bring it up to anyone who will listen). And again- I’m a person who loves Lana and Tay. Keep the sub respectful, and relevant.

Hey everyone, I've got a 6-month old Brit who is intensely interested in my two cats. She hasn't displayed any aggressive behavior, just wants to play with them. She'll even bring her toys to the baby gate that we put up in the hopes the cats will play with her. The problem is that her high-energy excited state spooks the cats, who run away and prompt her to to chase them. We've done some leashed introductions, and the cats have their own spaces tog etc away from her. And they even share the couch in the evening when pup's burnt out for the day.
What have your experiences been with introducing puppies to cats? Any tips on helping everyone get along? Thanks in advance!

Hello there, :D
I don't know how to start something like this, so I write these things I'm looking for. I'm looking for longperm friendship, or people who want to write for a longer period of time.
If you don't want that, then leave it and don't write. It's sobering that most only want to have short conversations.
I look for people who want to write every day about how the day was, how you're doing, and so on. Just the standard things. Anyone who wants to share their experiences with me like you do with friends. Also we can talk about everthing! I'm open to everthing. I can also just listen to you also if you are down buddy. I like to help people. I like listening to other people's stories, what they do and so on. And I can talk you're my story;)
I'm someone who needs some time to warm up. but if we understand each other then it's over quickly.:D
I'm from Germany. My intrests are photography, read books, listen music, play videogames, I'm a big overthinker and I'm a voluntary firefighter from Germany:))) I'm interested in everything that has to do with emergency vehicles and emergency services:D I also love star wars.
My English is not so good but I want to work on it;D So please understand if I don't understand everything directly. :/ That's also one of the reasons why I try to meet new people here.
I would prefer someone from Europe because of the time difference.:)
Please only write me if you are interested in something longer term.
please introduce yourself when you write to me and what your looking for:)
If something appeals to you or interests you and don't put off my English skills, then just write to me:D

I have the ability to channel, and I thought finally my husband would actually recognize it for what it is, rather than thinking it’s something “demonic” or whatever some of the more religious people think it is. We have been on the spiritual path for almost 2 years now, and he has literally flip-flopped from believing “we are all one” to now trying to say he’s a born again Christian.
I’ve shown him in every which way imaginable that I’m only able to access this information and I’m not possessed or whatever they believe. We have been together nearly a decade, and I’m seriously considering ending our marriage if he continues to demonize me like this. It’s come to the point of being psychologically damaging for me. Has anyone else who channels experienced anything like this with their loved ones and gotten through it?

Hi,
A long time seeker of gaming laptops here. I've been dreaming to buy a laptop since rtx 20 series launched. During this time, I got a 1440p monitor ( acer xv272u ) and I love it!
My old laptop (lenovo y50-70 gtx860m 4GB) can actually push 30+ fps steady on BL3 low settings 1440p but I would like an upgrade that actually last for next 4 years or so. I'm looking for a super value gaming laptop but since intel 12th gen (with smaller PCIE bus way) everything has become hazy.
Here are my questions:Which gpu can handle 1440p gaming (expecting more than 60fps on CyberPunk) ? RTX 3070, RTX 3080, RX6800M or any other ? Or should I get a PC to get this ?
Are RTX 30X0Ti gpu laptops worth the price ? Do they have any upgrade over RTX 30X0 s ?
Can RX6800M provide value over RTX3070 in the long run ?
Kindly provide your views on this! Thanks for your time!

I was finally diagnosed with IC after two years of suffering. I had a laparoscopy for something else and it flared it up worse than it’s ever been. I’m pretty miserable and can’t work.
I need to do lots of research and manage this to get my life back. But what I can find on Google is either really limited websites or full on medical thesis that I don’t understand. Do you guys have a book or even an online guide that covers everything—pain management, diet, physical therapy alternatives, etc.?
If not here’s my main questions:
Is there a better pain relieve than ibuprofen ? I’m allergic to Tylenol and the ibuprofen just straight up does not help. The AZO orange dye pills I’ve used as much as I can and my doctor said do not make those a habit.
I heard carbonation is a no even if it’s without sugar. Sad because I have stomach issues an a carbonated beverage is usually the only reliever for me. I just got out of the habit of drinking sprite and picked up the sugar free seltzers with zero calories and kombucha and love it. I need something fizzy to make me burp or settle my tummy. I hate that I can’t freely eat what I want but giving up carbonation is devastating to me. : /
Other than that I’d just love to learn about this condition and have something to reference that has worked for others.

Hey guys I bought a second pair of the same ram (Kingston Fury Beast 3200mhz) so I've been running 8gb x 4 sticks for the past month just fine playing hogwarts legacy and returnal. However Last of Us remake that just came out caused constant crashes and BSODs and it corrupted my system files, so I ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and it said my hardware has problems.
I turned off DOCP and ran it at JEDEC 2400 and it ran fine without any errors. Now I switched it to DOCP Profile #2 which is 3000mhz-15-17-17-36 instead of 3200mhz 16-18-18-36 and Windows Memory Diagnostic didn't throw any errors like it did for the first profile.
How much is the performance difference between the profiles? Is it worth the hassle of tinkering for someone who doesn't know anything about OCing.
Lastly, CPUZ and HWINFO says that it's running at 3000-16 but in the bios it's set docp profile 2 which is 3000-15, so what is it really running at?
Thank you

Hi fellow cysters, I've been tracking ovulation with Mira for the first time this cycle and have been getting what I can only describe as confusing results... My estrogen and LH seemingly rose but estrogen levels fell down again, so I'm not sure if I'm ovulating or not. 😞 Progesterone increased for a day and then fell down to follicular phase levels as well. I saw another small rise in LH yesterday but it's not significant enough to be a surge. I had CD4 FSH tested and it was normal, but according to Mira, my FSH from cd10 or so until now is elevated (I heard FSH goes up before ovulation so maybe that's what it is..?). I have no explanation for why my estrogen went up and then down, and the same with my progesterone.
Hopefully this link with a screenshot will work... https://i.imgur.com/6RQPNYn.jpeg
Has anyone else seen results like these? What did they mean for you and how did you determine ovulation? I'm worried if my hormones are way out of whack 😅 I came off birth control in Dec and been TTC since then. This is the first time using Mira and I used some cheap OPK to track ovulation before this. I've not spoken to doctors about these specific results from Mira, but I have discussed long irregular cycles with them and my OB plans on starting ovulation induction from next cycle. Seeing how my levels don't seem to match any pattern on Mira, I'm starting to get concerned.

I'm just curious about your choices as we all are apparently fellow fans of TN and you do like thoughtful music (otherwise you wouldn't be reading this lol) Obviously, those are the songs you will be haiving a certain and personal connection to them but also think about how would other react to them if they'd listen to them for the first time, what I mean basically is also to think about the importance of wishing these songs to be heard by other people. Sorry for my English, I'm Czech.
The rule is strict - you can pick only one song by one interpret/musician/band.
Mine are these:
The National - Lucky You
Bob Dylan - Not Dark Yet
John Lennon - Imagine
Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now
Nick Drake - Saturday Sun
Radiohead - No Surprises
The Verve - Drugs Don't Work
R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts
Cat Stevens - Father and Son
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Daniel Johnston - Trule Love Will Find You In The End
Nick Cave - Into My Arms
Cat Power - Maybe Not
Mercury Rev - Holes
Willie Nelson - Stardust (cover of Carmichael)
The Beatles - All You Need Is Love
Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me?
The Cardigans - Communication
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (cover of Leonard Cohen song)
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
INXS - Never Tear Us Apart
Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling In Love
Bill Fay - Life Is People
And since I'm Czech so I recommend to listen to these non-English and non-American songs as well:
Karel Kryl - Anděl
Blue Effect - Sluneční Hrob
Jaromír Nohavica - Kometa
Jiří Bulis - Hosté na zemi
Filip Topol - Viděl jsem rok
Antonín Dvořák - Largo

So my (M26) girlfriend (F24) is upset because I'm friends with my ex(F25) I think? It seems very obvious that that's the case but my gf claims that she's only upset because she's in the situation, which is fair. From my perspective, I personally don't feel as though a "situation" is necessary. For backstory:
I've been dating my girlfriend for almost a year now and me and my ex broke up around 5 or 6 years ago. Me and my ex continued to be friends afterwards and since then I've pretty much just viewed her as a close friend. So my girlfriend mentions that she doesn't understand the situation and I tell her that we're just friends and whatnot. Fast-forward my ex calls my every once in a blue moon for a small favor or just to call. Like friends. Nothing out of the ordinary. My girlfriend claims that since I have a girlfriend now, I should automatically be uncomfortable with receiving said calls. I disagree saying that, her perception of my ex isn't going to make me dislike or be uncomfortable with my ex, especially when those calls are like once every 2 months if at all, but I say I'm willing to do it if she says she word. Me and my ex hardly talk. It seems to me like my girlfriend is just upset that I don't dislike her, which I told her. She claims that isn't the case and that my feelings don't seem platonic and that someone in a platonic situation wouldn't have a problem not talking to someone anymore. I'm not the kind of person who cuts people off without some kind of explanation. Here's the problem:
I tell my girlfriend that I'm okay with cutting her off and keeping no contact. My girlfriend says she doesn't want that. I'm left confused and she says she just wants me to set boundaries, which I already did by telling my ex that she can't randomly call my anymore because it makes my girlfriend uncomfortable. When my girlfriend found out about this she got extremely upset, saying that I should not have "used her name" in the situation. To me , I feel like if I have to cut someone off I owe them some sort of explanation. Especially someone who I considered a close friend. My issue isn't even necessarily that my girlfriend wants me to stop talking to my ex. I fully understand why she's uncomfortable. My problem lies with the fact that when she asks me what the problem is with cutting her off (especially when I already set boundaries) I tell her that it makes me feel like a bad friend. Me saying this apparently makes my girlfriend feel bad and like I'm trying to blame her. She says she wishes that I was uncomfortable enough in the situation myself to go and cut things off with my ex. She has a problem with the fact that I said that she does have something to do with why I'm even cutting my ex off in the first place. She claims that "she never told me to cut off my ex", which technically is true because the words technically never came out of her mouth, but I can infer what she wants. She also claims that she doesn't want me to cut off my ex but doesn't understand how someone can be friends with an ex and how that's strange. I told her that this was a situation from years ago that I'm no longer "uncomfortable with". The whole situation makes my girlfriend extremely sad and I'm not sure what to do. I'm willing to do what I know deep down, she wants me to do, but I don't like the fact that she claims that she has nothing to do with it. It's like she's trying to change my perception of someone so she feels less bad with me cutting this person off. That feels unfair to me, like having her cake and eating it too. I tell her that she's trying to get me to cut off my ex without taking any of the responsibility or accountability in the situation, which was probably a poor choice of words. If anyone has any advice please feel free to share.
