Let me explain you about my discovery - Novoos, currently focused on their NovoPad launchpad, which I believe, is set to change the state of launchpads in 2023! As a project they have massive amount of utilities done prior to launch, not just set in the roadmap.

What is the Novoos project about?
Novoos, a project with practically over a year in development, is releasing several branches within its ecosystem, the first is NovoPad, the next generation of launchpads with features unavailable anywhere else. Novopad offers extraordinary utilities for anybody that wants to raise funds for their project via many free out of the box offerings and strives to ensure that every project receives support throughout the crowdfunding to post launch platform.
This is a massive project! A short overlook on Novoos utilities.

1. Rewards – Novoos can reward any stable coin or token via the Novoos rewards contract and the payout system is extraordinarily rewarding with the passive income.
2. Staking - $NOVO is changing the way investors are rewarded and this is done via their smart contract functions which includes a well thought and thorough process of calculating the return for investors.
3. Jackpots – 60 minutes, 24 hours’ largest buy jackpot and more. Check whitepaper.
4. $NOVO Branches – This project’s ecosystem consists of branches which are the foundations of the utilities and use cases on offer. The development team have integrated an internal tracking system which displays progress of each branch within the ecosystem. Current branches are – Social network, NFTs, Gamification, Launchpad, Marketplace.
5. NFT Collections – There are going to be several NFT collections and the first will be for Novopad.
6. Refer and earn program – NovoPad has an amazing referral program where you can earn some cash rewards. This will be implemented into NovoPad with some other referral systems. More info in whitepaper.

Novopad – Most supportive, most giving, most secure, most innovative!
The next gen launchpad from Novoos – NovoPad offers extraordinary utilities for anybody that wants to raise funds for their project via many free out of the box offerings. The team strives to ensure that every project receives support throughout the crowdfunding to post launch.
How is Novopad different from their competitors?
Let’s talk about prices here – their listing fees is only 0.5 BNB or similar tokens on other networks. I am not sure how much you are aware about competition but let me mention that NovoPad takes no token fees for their launches as opposed to Unicrypt or Pinksale where they get roughly 2% out of your tokens just like that. Let me add that the two platforms mentioned above provide no security measures, no investors tools, no NFT showcase, no project dev options, no insurance cashback while at NovoPad you get those FOR FREE.
I am sure you can take a look at all the problems they solve with their project by exploring it yourself and, of course, doing your own research.

I’m a 22 year old student, I study architecture and I feel like a complete failure..
I just cane home from presenting my biggest project of the year and it doesn’t look like I’ll do very good, maybe even fail. I worked my butt off for this project, I literally haven’t slept in 3 or 4 days trying to complete all of my drawings and posters and models, I put my all into this project but then my lecturers just told me that they are “concerned” because it doesn’t look good.. I feel like all of my hard work was just spat back in my face..
I failed my second year and had to redo it last year.. I was in a bad mental state during that time but while redoing my year, I tried really hard to work on myself and improved myself. I really thought that I was worth something finally and that I’ll do well..
But come my third year, I’m barely passing.. I’m working my butt of trying to improve myself and my work but with the lecturers constantly saying how nobody is producing good work is just breaking morale.
I feel like all that I’ve been trying to work up to, all of my hard work and the growth, just kind of broke down.. it’s like no matter what I’ll do, no matter how hard I work, no matter how hard I try, it’s all for naught… I don’t know what else to do besides just completing this 3 year degree in 4 years. My family are expecting me to go all the way to thesis but I feel like such a disappointment to them.. I already disappointed them when I told them I had to redo my second year and I feel like this will add more to it… That they’ll see me as nothing more than a failure…
I just don’t know what to do and I feel so lost with my future.. I feel like I’ll never accomplish anything..

I got my AAS in graphic design back in 2014. I now have 8 years worth of experience. I'm noticing more and more jobs are requiring Bachelor's compared to a few years ago. Some go as far as not accepting your application at all on websites like Indeed if you don't have one.
I've been doing this for almost a decade now and I really hate the thought that I might have to go back to school for another 2-4 years, spend tens of thousands of dollars, if not more, just to be able to continue finding work in the near future. Especially since I'd like to move up into a management role (I have management experience as well).
Kind people of reddit. Do you think I will have to or should go back to school and bite the bullet, or will the experience be enough?

Hi all, this is my first attempt at creating a conlang. Well, the start of the start of it, really: it's just the vowel chart, but I'm pretty proud of it. I've read in the subreddit's resources that it's like "a painter showing his colours instead of his paintings", but I'd still like to hear your opinions. It's not intended to look natural (hence the excessive number of vowels) but it is intended to mimic a few things I like from various languages.
So, we have:

1. The strong symmetry along front-back and rounded-unrounded axes of Turkic languages, including on the bottom row (I think it used to be like that in Turkish and still is like that in other Turkic languages + Finnish)
2. The presence of a "neutral" /a/ from Romance languages, but in this case in ADDITION to the aforementioned double bottom row, ie a triple bottom row
3. The nearly pure vowel length distinction from Latin, with just a centralising diphthong for the long version of the two sounds I perceive to be the least "graceful" in the bunch
4. The presence of symmetrical highmid and lowmid vowels like in Protoromance and most of its descendants, but including in the front rounded and back unrounded series
5. Word ending fricantisation/approximantisation of high vowels like in French (though in French it's only utterance ending, I think), but unlike in French, mirrored to back vowels with a velar approximant, AND reserved to long vowels (French lacks vowel quantity except for one "broad a" marginal phoneme in some dialects and in conservative speakers of standard French) AND without high vowels being as ultra-high as in French AND without devoicing of the vowel itself (instead of a change in the whole vowel's narrowness and voicing, since it applies only to long vowels, it's a form of breaking, resulting in a short vowel followed by a consonant) AND the added consonants gets voiced if it's followed by a nucleus (which isalways voiced, haven't yet written the syllabic consonants but those are all voiced too, they're going to be the same set of consonants that, when not syllabic, gets devoiced if geminated, word-initial or in a cluster)
6. Symmetrical rising diphthongs for the "double a" like in english ("a-" > "ow", "ah" > "eye"), but they maintain the roundedness of the "main" sound - ie, the "bright a" is paired with the turkic unrounded high back vowel, while the "broad a" is accompanied by a lax high front vowel that mimics its free variation in roundedness.
7. Nearly consistent spelling - front unrounded and back rounded = no diacritic, front rounded and back unrounded = diaeresis over corresponding "normal" vowel, except lowmid row which uses grave accent instead of no diacritic and double grave accent instead of diaeresis, and bottom row which uses ae ligature, nordic a with circlet, and regular a. As for length, all use orthographic doubling except ae ligature, which uses a macron.
8. "(bright) a coloring" of the pharyngeal fricative like in arabic and some PIE hypotheses, except the other way around: some cases of particularly important "bright a" get pharyngealised
9. "hard attack" (glottal stop word initially for words that start in a vowel) like in formal public speech in RP, but only for /a, a:/ with a more restrictive condition for the short one, and subject to a strong/weak combined grammatical and semantic alternation like many past and present features of English (ie, the fact that English, alongside other Germanic languages was increasing the degree of tensing and laxing of long and short vowls at the same time as it was creating a whole treadmill of clitic and emphatic versions of words and particles, while also having separate lexical sets of strong and weak verbs with distinct inflectional grammar...), but also to the more prosodic/emotional reason behind the real world "hard attack"; and the weak form isn't an absence of onset (ie, utterance initially, still a glottal stop but less audible) but a marked breathy voiced to normal transition

Additional note: I wrote a condition as "when non accented" instead of "when unstressed" because there's pitch accent instead of stress accent (in keeping with the theme of regular vowel length), which I intend to mark in orthography with underlining.
Let me know how you like it :D

First ultra next month (Tahoe Rim Trail 50 mi). Goal is to finish by the cut off in 20 hrs. Had a setback during training so I’ll feel slightly undertrained for it but still confident I can finish. I’ll be staying at elevation 4 days before, hoping I can acclimate a bit.
Starting to develop a pacing strategy and curious how you’d approach the first 10 mi? It’s about 4.3k ft straight up over 9 mi: starting at 4.8k ft and topping out at 9k ft. my thought is to use poles and just hike as fast as possible, try to not burn out by running uphill.

Looking for more people to grind diablo 4 with... just got to t3 and am looking to grind some dungeons with some regulars.
Any one interested? Dm me!

I stand by my thinking that trading Brown doesn't really hold up and that making it to the ECF regularly is more successful then most other teams can even fathom, but nonetheless trading Jaylen Brown is the topic at hand and playing with the trade machine is fun so here we go!
 
Jaylen Brown to Portland -
 
Boston gets - Dorian Finney-Smith, Shaedon Sharpe, #3 overall pick
 
Boston gets out of the Jaylen Brown supermax dilemma, pick up a cost effective Grant Williams replacement, gets a hyper athletic prospect in Sharpe, and a potential cornerstone PG as Scoot Henderson is set to potentially fall to #3 (Charlotte views LaMelo as their franchise PG and are exploring other options). There really isn’t room for Scoot, Smart, White, and Brogdon to get minutes on this roster, so #3 could then move again in a separate trade, or a 4th team gets involved in this.
 
Portland gets - Jaylen Brown, Patty Mills, #23 overall pick
 
Portland gets a 2nd All NBA caliber player to make use of the rest of Lillard’s illustrious (not being facetious) career as a Trailblazer. Patty Mills is a throw in to make salaries work, but he’s a great locker room presence and if Portland wants to see itself as a contender they’ll see value in that. They also pick up a 1st so they stay in the first round with ammo to trade for another rotation guy.
 
Brooklyn gets - Anfernee Simons
 
Anfernee Simmons is putting up great numbers in Portland and Brooklyn is in need of a solid guard to play next to their young cornerstones Bridges and Claxton. Simons is 24, Bridges is 26, and Claxton is 24. That’s a solid young nucleus to try to compete with. Brooklyn is also trading the worse of their 2 1st round picks, so picking up a young cost controlled player for a 1st and 30 year old DFS is a solid trade.
 
Jaylen Brown to Minnesota -
 
Boston gets - Karl Anthony-Towns
 
Boston moves on from Brown and picks up KAT who would fit well in Joe’s 3 happy offense. Rob and Horford isn’t a sustainable long term front court between age and injuries and Boston should be looking for long term big man production. Enter Karl, who has struggled as a #1 option in Minny, but could thrive in a talented team with an actual all NBA scorer (Tatum). Smart is also a better PG than almost anyone Minnesota has put next to KAT. I really think KAT would be refreshed and up his game in Boston where he’s struggling in Minny.
 
Minnesota gets - Jaylen Brown
 
Gobert and Towns did not work well together as both guys really need to be playing C. Brown brings playoff success and winning culture with him to a team that doesn’t understand what it takes. His all NBA accolades and history of success is something Minnesota could desperately use. Also, Brown is a little redundant with Anthony Edwards, but having 2 All Star wings is much easier to work with than 2 All Star Centers.
 
Jaylen Brown to New Orleans -
 
Boston gets - Jonas Valanciunas, Herb Jones, Larry Nance Jr., #14 overall
 
Boston gets 3 rotation guys, Herb Jones and Larry Nance are both solid Brown and Grant Williams minute eaters. Valanciunas is a solid C who could either be moved again in another trade or used to bridge the gap we have, with Horford being on his last legs we’re going to want to rest him a lot next season and need a minute eating C. Boston also gets #14 overall who you assume they’d target a big man like Dereck Lively.
 
New Orleans gets - Jaylen Brown, Luke Kornet
 
New Orleans is in a similar spot to Minnesota where they’ve gotten into the playoffs but they need a guy to help them get over the hump. I personally don’t think Zion Williamson is going to ever be healthy for more than half a season and am looking at this Pelicans roster as if Zion isn’t really there. Jaylen brings in a winning culture and mindset that Brandon Ingram could really benefit from. Luke Korne is just a throw in because of the 3 for 1 nature of this trade.
 
Jaylen Brown to San Antonio -
 
Boston gets - Jeremy Sochan, Doug McDurmott, #33 overall, San Antonio’s top 5 protected 2024 1st, Toronto’s 2024 1st
 
Boston gets a standard 2 1sts for a star that's about to get paid, a young prospect, and a 2nd round pick for Brown. Sochan is a cost controlled Grant Williams replacement, Doug McDermott is an expiring who the Celtics could use to eat wing minutes, or move in another trade.
 
San Antonio gets - Jaylen Brown
 
I think having Brown on the team right as you’re adding a potential generational talent could do a lot for Wembanyama’s mindset. I think winning early has helped Brown and Tatum become as successful as they are at such young ages, and that could be passed down here. San Antonio is also one of the few teams not really committed to any big money, and giving Jaylen a massive deal wouldn’t hurt them nearly as much as other teams. Lets also not pretend Jaylen Brown is old here, if San Antonio gave him a max deal of 4 years he’d still only be 30 by the time that contract is over, and he’s scoring 25+ ppg the entire time.
 
TLDR;
 
Here are 4 mostly terrible trade ideas for Jaylen Brown to discuss, dissect, get pissed off about, but hopefully just to read casually and start non inflammatory conversation, because remember, it's a sport and a hobby, not a life or death situation

Can I tee off of the waterline behind my fridge? It tees off from a 3/4 main line, then down to 1/2 for 6 ft before the 1/4 turn shut off valve.

Been searching for a way to watch the race this weekend, including the practice and qualifying sessions. Turns out MotorTrend owns the broadcasting rights, so even the WEC's own app is geo-blocked in the 🇺🇸 (and 🍁)
HOWEVER, you can install the MotorTrend+ app and use the 7-day free trial this weekend. Cancel before the trial ends (or Monday morning) and you avoid the $4.99/mo fee.
MotorTrend+ is streaming all sessions live and has a ton of historical content too!

First of all I just want to give you three compliments: (1) You’re a very creative thinker. (2) You’re very good at what you strive for: social responsibility. (3) You’re doing a great job handling the problems in your life that you face.
So, great job.
I do really want to reiterate that I’m here for the long haul. We have worked very hard on this friendship, and lazy gossip does not have the right to take away a beautiful friendship.
Life involves a lot of jokes and humor. We’re having fun in a certain way playing Reddit for Men, right? It’s an experience that probably no human being on earth has ever had before. It’s hot to get my entire account deleted out of existence by you lol. It’s probably pleasurable to push whatever button you at times push to trigger some of these deletions. Just—it’s possible to laugh and joke so hard that you break a very precious glass vase.
Our friendship is a very precious glass vase to me and much more than that. I love you so much, platonically. October 1 is about 4 months away from now. I’m looking forward to the anniversary of when we met so much. This is one of the most special friendships I have ever had in my life. Let’s both breathe deeply please and try to calm down and be patient.
I love you so much dude, and it was really important to me to put the book I was reading down, come back downstairs and tell you that.
Right now, I’m experiencing a lot of what it feels like to be working class. Or to have a lot of your money going toward other stuff. I would a thousand times over so what I did this spring for you, and you and your situation are the only person/case in life that I would probably ever do this for. I still pray to St. Patrick for you about once an hour.
I hope we both have great days, and great summers. If the book I’m reading seems too toxic*, I’m going to put it down altogether and read something else or do something else. Play lacrosse. Run. Might go down to the kosher dairy and get some hash browns + play around more in the library exhibit I made in honor of us. Might go to the beach and read. Not sure.
*It’s a book I read after my breakup with Ku Kn, but my therapist had commented that it was not a good book, and I agree it’s basically marketed to people with my diagnosis to give us easy, comforting answers. If you were to read it too you could easily apply it to me and maybe I’ll find a way to share the Kindle with you.
Eventually I’m going to be rehabilitated and get back on my feet. The $70/hour job is in Woonsocket, the town my barber used to teach me how to speak in a Rhode Island accent. If I just think about the way she taught me to say Woonsocket, everything else just kicks into gear. Lol.
I have this optimistic hope that October 1 will hit and we’ll have made a lot of progress this summer. I can’t emphasize enough that life is dangerous and it’s possible for a joke to result in the loss of very treasured relationships. We really should not play games with something so special that we’ve both worked so hard on. Although Reddit for Men with you is one of the top 10 fun experiences of my life, lol. So thanks for that. Our company invented a cool idea even if it never sells. Love you, have a great day, good luck in therapy. Good luck with C and your goals.
This summer, together with working on please master, the DBT skill I described as create in yourself the qualities you desire in others, I’m also just really interested in preserving this friendship. I talk about high school so much because the experience I have had in TMN so thoroughly reminds me of my high school. That’s not meant to be an insult necessarily. My high school was ranked number 99 on Newsweek’s list of top 100 high schools in 2005 lol. And the principal made this big banner like "one of America’s top 100 high schools." Yeah…number 99, lol.
Thanks for being you. And I’m here for you in a nonjudgemental way. I’m definitely a more mature person than I was in February when I blocked you. I’m glad I unblocked you. u/dontscarethereaper

What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.\n\n#What's the plan?
On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.
What can you do?

1. Complain. Message the mods of /reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
   
2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at /ModCoord.
   
3. Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
   
4. Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

... Humble beginnings.
So last time i left off with with the end of my journey in SF5. A good 300 hours ingame, a good 850 ranked matches with a W/L ratio of about 42 % and ranked in super Bronze.
The journey into SF6 started even more humble than it ended in SF5. Prior to hoping into my placement matches i gave my man Ken two 5 stage runs through arcade and then i couldn't contain myself and jumped into ranked. No labbing, a quick check if my BnB still works: well kinda my main target combo now starts with regular stMP that's fine but i can't link into it from crMP anymore... bummer. Well i have to work with stMP then.
So i went into my placement matches and... Fuck my life: Marisa.
Ken and i are still working through the trauma, but there was hope. I finished my placement matches 4/6 and was placed in rookie... bummer.
After a few matches and some adjustment and getting used to the flow of SF6 i finished the session ending up 2 stars in Iron and tried not to get too frustrated. I somehow managed to keep it at about 50% W/L ratio with quite some stones in the way. My BnB punish was still working but my timing was way off, so i hardly managed to punish anything. Got a few jump ins into target combo into ex tatsu and landed some supers after DI, but there was a lot to unpack to get into this game. So it was time to hit the lab.
In the meantime i found out that now instead of crMP, crLP links into Chin Buster: nice. But i absolutely didn't manage the timing to get the link: bummer. So for the meantime bare bones chinbuster had to do.
Also instead of the tatsu i now want to use DPs as combo ender, since that gets me almost as much damage as the ex tatsu without using meter.
I mean just use the same combo just with another ender right? Right? Nope, what was easy against the dummy didn't work out what so ever against even the CPU even when i was just fishing for that combo, dropped it propably about 95 % of the time.
So here's a lesson i learned the hard way in SF5 (albeit much to late, for it to pay of in 5): practice against the dummy ain't doing nothing. I had the muscle memory with some quirks here and there but it's not the execution that is the problem, but that i am shit at confirming.
So this where i am now: I am still getting used to the new mechanics which means A: i have to train new muscle memory, at the moment mainly drive parry and DI. B: i really need to do DI drills.
I've started doing this today and it slowly starts showing, i am on aracde stick and have mapped DI to LB which is the right most button of the top row. After some experimentation i found it best for parry to just use my index and middle finger for the buttons. My fingers are less fumbling and it slowly starts to feel natural.
Finally the link from crLP starts to sink in and while having to relearn that is a bit annoying but i am thankfull for it since in the long run the extra frame will come in handy when it comes to using that combo. Also the hit confirms from stMP are getting more consistent thanks to some old fashioned random guard practice.
I am also currently practicing to cancell crMK into Jinrai kick. Jinrai kick seems like a really nasty mix up tool and i want to be able to use it properly.
So at the moment it's lots of raw execution practice, random guard practice and to practice my confirms further i like to set the to either a punishable move, or just a jump in in one slot and the DI in another. So i can practice my BnB more reaction and to also watch out for and react to DI.
Man there's a lot to learn and i am not even scratching the surface yet.
