Does amazon do layaway

As I said in my title, I stored my sourdough discards too near from the air output in the fridge, and yesterfay I found it partially frozen. I inmediatly put it out of the fridge, put another batch of discard (I was just doing some bakeing) and mixed with it ande put it again in the fridge with special care of not putting it again where it can freeze (to avoid another microorganisms to proliferate). Today it looks normal. How does yeast tolerate freeze? Will be ok or it is better throw it away?

I have put a lot of gems into upgrading the lounge in previous playthroughs and I am happy with how mine looks now but now I want to spice up the rest of the house. The thing is that I do not know what any of the cosmetics look like. The picture used in the house contractor doesn't do a great job of showing what everything is on my tiny switch screen.
Is there a website that shows off what each cosmetics looks like? Sort of like Seribii does for pokemon cosmetics cosmetic

Well after reading most of the redit post I see that most have went through similar delay situations with Carvana.
Received a text today that my delivery next week won’t happen due to a “cosmetic delay”. Wtf does that mean? I called and a rep couldn’t tell me, but said “oh don’t worry everything will be taken care of”. I asked him how do you know what “everything” is when you can’t tell me what exactly is the “cosmetic delay” pertaining to? I hate dealing with smug customer service asshats. Then he tried to hi-Jack the conversation by reminding me to have my drivers license and documents on hand for my next delivery day 2 weeks from now. So I hi-jacked it back by telling him, giving me reminders about something I’m well aware of don’t gloss over the issue at hand which is you not being able to tell me exactly what the “cosmetic delay” is.
This would be my second time buying a vehicle from Carvana. The first experience was flawless back in the day. No issues at all. They were awesome then.
I can tell things are different at Carvana now.
They sent me the revised e-docs and the first page is for me to sign the non-refundable delivery charge. I’m thinking about cancelling this whole transaction, just to save myself from being really pissed when they delay my delivery again, or the vehicle shows up with problems.
I think they don’t get it, Transparency goes a long way. If they could tell me exactly what is being repaired it would reassure me, but not telling me nothing makes me not trust them.
So my question is, since technically I haven’t signed anything, I can cancel without paying them nothing right? Btw they haven’t taken the shipping fee out of my back account yet.

This is a coworker of my husband whom I've always felt uncomfortable around. When I first met her she was asking me details about my husband and our marriage and also when I'm with my husband at a work event she makes it a point to only socialize with him and sit next to him while I'm there and completely ignores my presence. I've brought this out to my husband before and yesterday we went to a work event and she was doing the same thing with my husband and started telling my husband how her husband (she's recently married) doesn't help her out at-home at all and was asking him if he helps me out. My husband made it a point to shut her out when she was asking him what he does for me as a husband, he simply told her you should ask my wife that question. He made it a point to show how much he cares about me around her. She then asked him why he's so overprotective of me. Is there something wrong with this girl or is it just me?

First of all, sorry if this question has been asked before. I'm curious about what you think about this. I have a friend that is OTP Senna, but, when he tries to climb in ranked matches, he stucks (Emerald I, Diamond IV). As I main supp too, I don't have a champ that I spammed in ranked as he does, I have my confort picks (Rakan, Morg, Lux, Nauti...) But I always try to pick one supp that fits in my team comp. So what do you think?

hi, so I 17(f, cis) have a friend who is trans, Anyway, after events that happen online cause a mass increase in transphobia online this friend tends to become very cranky and aggressive ( verbaly). how do I help my friend? for reference the anger does not become directed about the online transphobes but it makes her lash out at people in the class, and other friends, me included.

So, funny story, growing up I was never really into all the slang talk. I guess you could say that I always viewed myself as refined (not in a bad elitest way but I just more so wanted to be different and heavily identified myself with the nerd trope) and wanted my speech to reflect that. However. I've come to notice that I've kind of somewhere along the way stopped thinking in this particular way and I've also sorta also found myself not really identifying with the nerd trope anymore which has of course has found itself in the way I speak.
I understand that as we grow through life and experience it we're supposed to and expected to grow and change and I'm all for that... However, I do like the concept of being well spoken and I don't necessarily mean being able to use big nerdy words, but more so having a particular... I guess eloquence that I truly admire when I hear other's speak.
Not posh.
Not pretentious.
Just eloquent.
I still read a lot, granted not as much as I used to, but still a good amount.
So other from reading and building good vocabulary does anyone have any tips?

Hello everyone! I have a few videos on my Plex whose library is shared with my sister (we are not in the same house). When I tried watching them from her tv (she uses Plex with Firestick), I found out the .srt do not display the dark background, no matter the settings in her Plex. She can modify only the size, but color and background settings are useless.
For the record, I have my server on a ShieldTV and I can see subtitles normally. I also have a Firestick on another tv, and I can still see the subs the way they are supposed to.
Does this issue depend on her tv, then? I would love to avoid turning all the subs in .ass format, which is the only solution I could think of…
And speaking of subs background, is there some way to make the background darker when displaying .srt subtitles? I put them on for my 80 yrs old mother, but the fact the black color is not full, makes the subs sometimes hard to read for her.
Thanks!

I am experiencing an odd issue with the Vanguard website itself. I am hoping there are some experienced users here.
In the past, when I clicked on a ticker of something in my account, it would take me to a nice screen with "recent transaction history", showing purchases, dividends that have come in, etc.
About a week or so ago, some setting changed for me and that information is gone, now it just shows me my balance, price changes, unrealized loss/gain, and then under that is generic information for the ticker itself.
Does anyone know how to return to the style of interface I describe above? It was much more useful than what I am currently getting now.
I can still access the desired format if I go to "activity" and click the ticker in there. See the attached image. How do I make this default for my whole account?

First I want to say, I haven't tested these yet gaming. I know, I know... It's technically a gaming headset. But I figure folks purchasing these are also very interested in using them for music as well as all the other aspects of the device. I will update this after gaming a bit more in the coming days.
Build quality: Solid. Much better than any headset I have ever had my hands on. In fact I'd say it's better than any headphones I've ever had as well. Very impressed. Ear pads are nice and thick but the material isn't as nice as other pleather materials and doesn't seem to breathe much.
Build Quality rating: 9/10
Comfort: Not great. The adjustment strap only has 3 settings and none of them work for me. There is no up/down adjustment on the head piece like most headphones and headsets have. I settled for using the middle setting on one side and the smallest on the other side. The smallest setting is way too tight on my head. the middle setting it feels like the headphones are sitting too low on my head with the tops of my ears touching the pads. Also, the headset is pretty heavy at around 500g. The pads are reasonably comfy and thick but they are made of pleather and get a little toasty. The clamping force depends on the strap setting and it apparent but not horrible. After a few hours this headset is way more comfortable than you'd expect after having read everything I just wrote. So while comfort isn't the best, it's not terrible either.
Comfort rating: 7/10
Features: Good but not the best. No ANC - that's fine, I don't need it. But competitors in this price range do have it. Sidetone works reasonably well and is an interesting addition. The built-in EQ settings are nice to have. The buttons and dials included on the headset are good - the dials have clicks and change in small increments. The buttons are solid. The Windows app is OK - pretty basic. Makes updating firmware super easy, has preset EQ. Would like to see something a bit more robust like SteelSeries Sonar though as I think this headset would benefit a LOT from parametric EQ tunes. Wireless works great and is very good quality.
Features rating: 8/10
Wireless: The wireless connection is solid but the range claim of "up to 3x traditional 2.4Ghz" is perhaps a little exaggerated. It cuts out in the same areas of my home that my 7 year old 2.4Ghz SteelSeries Siberia 800 does but it is still decent. The audio streaming quality is excellent as far as I can tell. no buzz, humm or background noise. The headset connects no problem to the USB dongle on both PS5 and PC. I have not noticed any significant audio lag which is a huge deal for me. Bluetooth to my phone and PC (not using dongle) is excellent as well.
Wireless rating: 9/10 Mic: Amazing for a headset. Noise suppression is good even without the active noise suppression turned on. Tested with a buddy that said I sound WAY better then with my old headset. Also ran a test and listened to myself. This is one the best built-in MIC's on a gaming headset I've ever hear. The mic is also detachable which is nice. Even the on-board mic's sound better than most gaming headsets I've heard.
Mic rating: 9.5/10
Audio: Excellent for a gaming headset. MUCH better than my old SteelSeries Siberia 800. I can tell immediately these are Planar Magnetic and not your run of the mill gaming headset drivers. However, I am comparing them directly to audiophile Planar Magnetic headphones that I have tuned with a parametric equalizer. So in that realm they are not nearly as impressive. For music I daily a pair of Sundara (2020 revision) running through JDS Atmos DAC+/Amp+. I'm using Equalizer APO with Oratory1990's Harman curve profile with some minor tweaks. That setup, IMO, is amazingly good with imaging and clarity in every genre from the bass all the way through to the treble. Amazing mid presence without being "warm". It's hard to explain but suffice it to say I can jack up the volume on virtually any kind of music and not get fatigued, but even at lower volumes the detail is still there. The Maxwell is a totally different story. There seems to be quite a V-shape built into the tuning. The mids are suppressed quite a bit. The bass and treble are decent but the highs are quite fatiguing. I am not a true audiophile so it's hard to explain, but when I put on my Sundara I just get so much detail from the whole range whereas with the Maxwell I lose a lot of detail and a little clarity. It's not that the bass is overpowering or muddy which is the case with my Siberia 800, it's just that it gets beat to shit by my Sundara setup. To be fair, the Maxwell may EQ well but I don't see how to do that outside the tools Audeze has included as it's all built into the headset itself. There is no fine tuning the EQ in their app that I can see, only presets. Each preset seems to be a tweak of the default "Audeze" setting rather than a whole different tune. So Bass boost brings out more bass without impacting the rest of the sound while Treble boost does the same.
Compared to my old gaming headset the audio quality is amazing. Compared to my music headphones the audio is just OK. So I think if you're coming from any mainstream "gaming headset" to this you will be impressed. If you're coming from something like the HD58x, especially if you have that thing dialed in, you may not be quite as impressed. Not that the Maxwell isn't putting oujt good sound because it is. I think it's just the way it's tuned. Clearly the drivers are good and capable of very high quality audio reproduction. Not really a fair comparison I'm making but if you are expecting this superb audiophile wireless Planar Magnetic headphone out of the box and already have a high quality setup you may be a little disappointed.
Imaging - good but not greatSoundstage - mehTreble - good but fatiguingMids - lackingBass - good but not greatClarity - good, great in some ways, lacking in others
Also want to note that the wireless audio sounds a bit different than USB. Not sure what it is but I think wireless using the dongle sounds better than direct USB connection.
Audio rating: 7.5/10 compared to my Sundara setup. 9/10 compared to other gaming headsets.
There you have it. My initial impressions. I'm going to go play some games now and see how it is. As a gaming headset alone I think the Maxwell is already a fantastic option even before I play any games with them. I also haven't tested the 3D audio stuff but I am in the camp that simulated surround sound is sort of gimmicky. I always got better directional audio out of stereo mode than with any of the virtual surround stuff. And the Maxwell already has better imaging and soundstage than the vast majority of gaming headsets out there.
Just remember I'm comparing these to actual audiophile headphones that have been tuned for music. EQ may really bring these to life in terms of the audio quality. I'm not a huge fan of the Audeze tune. If I didn't have my Sundara setup I think my perception of the audio here would be skewed much higher but switching between them I am not nearly as impressed. Beats the shit out of my old gaming headset though.

I’ve ridden a Decathlon bike (Triban RC500) for 3 years, and I recently upgraded to an Endurace (n+2 I guess, aha).
The bike comes with GP5000 S TR tyres. Does it mean that they don’t have a tube inside, or they do (and which one)? I couldn’t find any indication on the website.
Thanks.

There's many reasons, but simply this works. (I am fasting for weight loss. "you" comments are directed at myself.)
Fasting is the first diet where a) I trust the process - there's no tricks and sales b) it is sustainable for me as a permanent lifestyle c) it is working and it will work as hard as i do. (105kg to 100kg)
On a sunday I like to go to the pub and have a parmy with a beer. I still can do that (minus the beer, see stopdrinking.)
One afternnon this week I had to see a physio. Firstly, this man reminds me of me - He's about my age (40s), he's tried to lose weight but has a beer gut, and he has used a pre-made meal service in the past - but regained the weight. His BMI sitting around 34, and like myself he's been trying to lose weight in multiple ways. When I mentioned my fasting he ADVISED ME AGAINST IT as it was some 'new fad diet'. This whole interaction became Fuel For The Machine.
Weight loss rule number one is, don't take advice from fat people. Even if they are in medicine.
Other Dieting and weight loss - i've tried the premade meal service, hitting the gym 7 days a week, intermittent fasting (which i still respect and am doing it informally, see OMAD), and seeing a nutritionist - her advice was 3 meals a day with carbs included(!) each meal. I've done the low fat diet, low carb diet, eating frequently 6 times a day, keto, and so on. Only fasting has been effective immediately, leaving me energetic and awake before my 4am alarm each day. I no longer have to follow every goddamned trend that comes along. I am certain that in the next 12months we'll hear about some new superfood. I will carry on doing normal things.
***
What is the perfect way to stay hungry and not lose any weight? Eat often throughout the day with carbs on the plate while limiting calories.
Why will you stay hungry doing this? because it creates both the expectation of regular food into the body while not eating enough calories. Your insulin will spike at each meal, when it declines hunger will follow afterwards and you'll be thinking about food again. The carbs/plant based food are low nutrition so micronutrients are being missed as well, the satiety foods are fatty and high protein. Simply put, steak is on the menu, wheat is OUT.
Why won't you* lose weight doing this?
Because you don't have time to reach into ketosis, autophagy, fat burning.
The Insulin spike following any kind of food allows food to be stored in cells (making you fat) and prevents the feeling of fullness (making you hungry). Insulin deserves it's own diatribe.
***
YOUR BODY NEEDS FOOD.
Look down. Grab a chunk of belly fat. That is the food that you should eat, and that is going to be ignored while you keep chewing food - any food - and swallowing it. This is why your new diet didn't work, protein shakes, superfoods, and any other measures. That tub of protein powder with fit skinny people on the side of it - it still counts as food, it still generates an insulin spike when you consume it. It still prevents you sourcing nutrition from the calories around your middle. (I absolutely do use protein powder when it is needed for a specific reason.)
What's wrong with The CICO approach (why don't you just count calories?)

1. It's laborious. Different calories have different effects. Screw all that work. I've got better things to do, and I want to eat food without feeling guilty.
2. It doesn't work - do you want millions of examples of fat people who have all tried CICO?They are everywhere. 1/3 of people are medically obese. If it did work, people would pick their target weight and do CICO until it is achieved. This is not what we observe among obese people. "Yes but people don't follow nutritionists' advice" Really? The same people were told to cut out cholestorol, stop smoking and reduce fat - they did so and we see across the board, less smoking, fatty foods and cholesterol intake. CICO failed.
3. You can still get obesity and constant hunger with CICO because of regular sugar intake and regular insulin spikes.
4. It actually does work - when used logically to go into a fasted state at intervals.
5. CICO used logically equals fasting.

​
Other things i'm enjoying with fasting:
Clean body odour - less shopping - easy to resist fast food - Permanently clean kitchen - saving money. LOOKING FIT.
Conclusion:
This way of life is completely under my control. It frees me from slavery to 'new information' about health and weight loss. It is 100% sure to keep working. It prevents cancer. It does not need to be minutely tracked, although I use a fasting tracker for my own satisfaction. It has no drawbacks. I get to eat a big meal (feast) on days where there is no fast planned. I'm going to still be doing this in 12months, alleviating the mental drain of thinking about it all the time.
This is the diet that will carry me forward another 45 years in good health.

*(When I say "YOU" These results and observations are directed at myself, YMMV.)

For the last month or so I've been experiencing huge fps drops (55 to 7). It happens mostly during battles. Does anyone else have this problem? Do you know some fixes?

So my friend made his third character and picked the 5 enhancement PQ. There was a road event that gave us an item. He snatched it up. We did the scenario, he looted exactly one coin. We come back to outpost phase. The timing was such that the calendar entry triggered that gives us 50 gold to spend on enhancements. He bought 2 +1 move on a level 1 card for 20 gold each (we have enhancer level 2). Then I was doing my solo quest and he kept doing some calculations and mid-way through he announces that he is going to retire the character.
Selling his starter items and the found item earned him almost 60 gold to put 3 more +1 move stickers on level 1 cards. I say almost, since I actually enabled this madness. Since he was all new, we decided that he would get the proceeds from the three camps for which my character paid. The idea was that he would craft some gear with it and I am about to retire as well, so it makes sense transferring some funds. I was trying to argue that he cannot do it, but I cannot find a rule that prevents it. It does seem awfully cheesy, though. The PQ for his next character is amassing all sorts of items, I am already worried that it will end the same way and he will have 4 retirements vs. my 2.
He swears, he didn't plan it. And he does plan to revisit the class eventually, he read a guide for it and everything. Maybe I snatch it up and outrun him :)

Hello everyone. My fish(african cichlid) is sick and needs help, please someone tell me what is wrong or some recommendations on how to treat them. Please bear with me this will be lengthy.
Last week (the 24th) when I went home I noticed my fish was not its usual self. It was paler than usual, gills somewhat more red, some of its scales in its lower back were pushed out, it seemed like it had a hard time breathing and its stomach was barely sinking/concaving inwards. My parents did not notice a difference especially in the stomach but my sibling agreed it was acting strange. I did a 25% water change and usually it does not care when the siphon enters the water but that day it just kept chasing it and trying to shake against it.
The next day I knew something was wrong because the stomach was more notable, they were staying in the corner of the tank, they were not eating/pooping, and I was told they were not eating much for a few days. I know nothing about fish medicine so I bought a bunch of stuff: API General Cure, Seachem Garlic Guard, Seachem Focus, and Seachem Metroplex.
At this point I was not sure what was wrong because I was reading so many things and there were symptoms that matched everything. Like was it swim bladder disease, a parasite, infection, hole in the head, simply constipated, stressed?? And I am still not sure.
Last Saturday, I gave him the first dose of API general cure and added some aquarium salt. Still would not eat or poop. And the gills were no longer red but he now stayed near the top of the water. Sunday, I can notice more of the belly and usually I keep the flow of the hand on the filter high but I noticed he was kinda weak and being pushed back by the flow (broke my heart), so I turned it down.
Monday I had to go back to school and my sibling was in charge of him, they made sure to give the final dose of the general cure. Garlic guard arrived in the mail and my sibling soaked some pellets in it. Fish only ate 2 (I think this was the last time he ate).
Thursday comes around, gills are kinda pink, has not eaten the pellets with garlic guard or peeled+chopped peas that were added into the tank. Kinda leaning to the side.
Friday (the 31st), it has gotten bad. My mom called me saying she's worried since he's swimming on his side and is staying hidden in its barrel/ house.
Sibling calls me to confirm he's not eating/pooping and when it swims it can kinda do so normally but when it stops it starts to go sideways(basically laying down completely sideways). He's also breathing very fast and just does not look like he's doing well.
I am currently on my way home right now but I don’t know what to do or what is causing it.
I was thinking its constipation caused by overfeeding but then why is he on his side? Bladder disease/issue? But what does that mean? How do I fix it? I saw someone talk about epsom salt but will that not harm him? Should I stop using aquarium salt? I’m trying to give peas for fiber but he won’t even eat at all, and idk if I should keep trying to feed him because he's not pooping. Does the stomach indicate a parasite, bacterial infection, or because he's not eating?? Is there a fish vet I can call or something? I tested my water multiple times and it's all good.
Should I add the MetroPlex+focus+garlic guard? Anything you recommend?
I don’t know what to do. PLEASE help me. I do not care what I have to spend or if I have to skip classes, I just want him to get better, I don’t want to lose my little guy.

I was planning on graduating this summer however I need to take BIMM121 in order to graduate as a Microbiology major and that isn't looking like a possibility this spring. This is the second time I haven't gotten off the waitlist if I don't make it off (it literally hasn't moved since I waitlisted) then I will have to stay for fall quarter for only one class which I really cannot afford to do. It would ruin my grad school plans and like where would I even stay for 3 months.
Does anyone think I'd have a chance at being able to substitute the class for say BIMM110 over the summer? Has anyone been in a similar circumstance and had any luck with substituting a required class?
