2023.06.04 06:03 Lumpy-Function8615 Trying to stop vaping thc, help. CBD, other cannabinoids? PLZ
Trying to get away from THC. It’s been over 4 years of vaping pretty much 24/7, to point where I easily go through a gram cart in less than a day. One year had medical card and was smoking very large amounts of flower in addition to that, also dabs, edibles, eventually making my own - always very potent. Point I’m trying to make is I have a HIGH tolerance. I could stop everything else easily but I cannot get away from the damn vape. I swear the nausea, shakiness, appetite issues, mood, insomnia, etc, is horrible when I’ve tried. & The cravings just would not go away it’s all I would think about when I didn’t have it. The anxiety I get when I run low or anything is crazy. I don’t even know what it is I crave because the carts have little effect on me especially now that I switched to delta8 from gas stations or vape shops cause it’s so much cheaper than med dispensary’s in PA. On another note, for 4 years I was also consistently smoking electronic cigs, elf bars, etc.. BUT was able to quit nicotine relatively easily about two months ago.
Anyways recently I figured I would try to substitute CBD in, as an effort to stop thc.. I’ve never tried CBD before, I did a fair amount of research and ended up buying Blue Raspberry CBD Vape Juice from cbdFX. The reviews were really good, and I got the highest potency available 2000mg. I had high hopes but was shocked at how unpleasant and unsatisfying it was. This is going to be hard to describe - Yes you can definitely tell it’s blue raspberry, but to me it is still like a dry, dull, faint taste/flavor.. & also a super weak hit. Not a lot of vapor produced, felt like nothing was in my mouth cause cloud so light and when it hits the back of your throat there’s no need to cough or anything. Turn the temp up it tastes like real crud. Hits did not leave me wanting more. As far as effect the only thing is it honestly made me feel physically nauseas. Still left craving one of my thc carts tho.
I think part of what I like or could I guess be addicted to with thc vape is the sharp feeling in throat when you inhale it then usually having to cough afterward. I have always taken long hits deep inhales, held it in, etc. of course causing a lot of coughing/crying spells. When I smoked e-cig I used the njoy and I loved the very sharp feeling it had when it hit back of throat but still it was much easier to stop.
Anyways That was my first impression of vaping cbd, I mean is that what it’s like?
What does CBD normally taste like?
What’s the hit/vapor like?
Are there any hard hitting ones or what’s the closest you can get to resemble thc?
Also should mention the reason I had chosen CBD is because although I read numerous conflicting reports I guess maybe it’s the only confirmed cannabinoid that can’t cause a false positive on marijuana screening? If you know of any others please by all means let me know.
Wanting to quit thc because mental health is finally getting better, stable on medication, Tired of having to stress about getting piss for screenings since I let medical card expire. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.

2023.06.04 05:01 pd_what Alterations have made me hate my dress
I hated dress shopping. I felt ugly and fat in most of them, and undecided in the rest. I didn’t have the big ‘this is my dress moment’ but it was the dress no other dress could beat.
https://www.maggiesottero.com/sottero-and-midgley/ryke17958 I have now been to 4 alterations appointments. The seamstress does not speak English very well so clearly communicating what I want is difficult. To hem my dress she wanted to just cut off the bottom 4 inches which has a ton of lace appliqué and 3D flowers! The bustle looks awful, but I think that’s just how bustles look.
I also don’t look as pretty as I’d hoped. I’m still too wide, my back too thick. It feels hopeless. I’m so burnt out and something that’s supposed to be this amazing thing like your wedding dress feels like a sack of rocks.
Getting married in 14 days. No time left, no money left. As Mia said ‘This is as good as it’s gonna get’

2023.06.04 04:44 AvariceUnlike AITA for not getting my boyfriend’s twin brother a birthday gift?
So my boyfriend “James” (27) has a twin brother “Josh”. Josh lives a few hours away and I’ve only met him twice, we’re not close. However, I do have his phone number.
James and Josh recently had their birthday, and I got James some fancy flowers and gourmet chocolate and some other things because I’m a hopeless romantic. I don’t know how (I assume through James), but Josh found out what I got for James.
He texted me to “catch up”, but it eventually lead to him asking me about the shopping number for his gift, because it had been a few days and it hadn’t arrived. I was confused, and I told him that I didn’t get him anything. He got super offended and blocked me.
I talked to a friend about the whole thing, and she said that it was “kinda unfair” to get one twin a birthday gift and not the other. She told me I should just get him something cheap to appease him and not make bad blood with James’s family.
I don’t think I’m in the wrong, but his strong reaction and my friend’s words have me second guessing. AITA?
Edit since apparently this info is more relevant since I thought. Josh has adhd and is slightly autistic.

2023.06.04 04:33 jparth78 Gift ideas for friends in home country
Hello Vancouverites
I'll be traveling back home in a while and looking for gift ideas for my friends and teachers back home.
I have visited the gift shop at Canada Place and Vancouver Lookout and tho i did find some unique things I want to get more stuff.
I'm looking to get around 20-30 small gifts which should be 1) Uniquely Canadian/ Vancouve BC or useful 2) Lightweight since I already have my own stuff piled up 3)Cheap (less than 5 or 10$)
I'm looking for cheap stuff since I'll be combining it with some chocolates/maple syrup or some Canadian sweet or something along those lines.
Please mention the address as well 😅
Thanks 😀

- A new “Silence” function has been added for the Spotter.

The duration of the hush may be adjusted via the “hushDuration” variable in the “app.ini” file, found in the “[SPCC]” section.
- “Leader Car” calls now returns the leader car in the same class as the player car. This means all spotter messages pertaining to the leader will now reference the leader in the same class as the player, instead of the outright leader.
- - - Messages include:
- - - - - Leader is pitting now

- - - - - You're catching the leader
- - - - - One lap to win (if you are the leader car)

- Vehicles that utilize the New Damage model have had their car model format adjusted to reduce video memory demands.
- Improved the accuracy of steering angles for viewing your opponents’ cars’ wheels.
- Adjust brake light exposure on some cars to try to prevent them from turning white when viewed from a distance.
- Updated the system which processes the hiding and displaying of halos for Replays.

3D Foliage System
- A new environmental graphics feature option has been added to the graphics options menu: Foliage!
- - - The new Foliage system procedurally generates 3D foliage of an appropriate biome type at specified tracks. Foliage may include grasses, shrubs, boulders, cacti, flowers, and other small environmental assets. 3D foliage has no impact on driving or physics, but should decorate the world much more realistically.
- - - In the Graphics Options menu, there are several levels of detail that may be selected for use by the 3D Foliage System which can customize your visual experience and your rendering performance. You may also select to disable the system entirely.
- - - With this release, only Willow Springs International Raceway has been seeded by the new 3D Foliage system so far, but Mother Nature always finds a way to spread!
Visual Effects
- Lighting for particle effects has been improved.
- The PopcornFX SDK has been updated to the latest version.
Audio
- Audio Hot Swap support has been added to iRacing!
- - - Forgot to plug in your headset before the race starts? iRacing now detects your device when it's plugged in, even during a race. If you've selected "System Default" from the sound options, audio automatically moves to the new device when the default changes. If you have selected a specific audio endpoint, it activates once it's available.
- - - Runtime audio device switching is now supported. When the default device is selected, a new default device can be chosen in Windows, and the Simulator will use the new device. If a specific device is selected, it will be used in the Simulator when it is activated in Windows.
- - - - - disableWindowsCoreAudio=0 When enabled (1), this option disables any Windows Core Audio integration (native windows audio).
- - - - - disableAudioDeviceChangedEvents=0 When enabled (1), this option disables dynamic audio device changing.
- - - Please note: Audio Hot Swapping is enabled by default.
- A new Audio Options setting has been added which allows you to assign a System Communication Default Device.
- A new audio option, “ambientMusicDisabled”, has been added to the “app.ini” file.
- - - 0 is the default value. Setting this parameter to 1 will disable all environment music that is normally played over the PA system while in the Simulation.
- Dynamic brake sounds have been rebalanced.
- Audio for load transmission on a variety of cars has been improved.
- The engine audio for all Pace Cars has been adjusted and optimized.
Environment
- New color and texture variations have been added for a variety of parked vehicles found around the tracks.
Interface
- Enhanced the right-click pop-up menus on the Session/Replay screen, and the Driving screen, to provide the option for private messaging (PM-ing) an individual user, the current driver of a car, or a car's entire Team (which includes a driver's spotters/crew in non-team sessions).
- - - Existing Admin/Race Control operations applied to a car that would have PM-ed someone on the team have been updated to message the whole team, instead of just one team member.
- - - Manually PM-ing a car number using "/#N", with N being the displayed car number, including leading zeros if shown, will now PM the whole team.
- - - To PM just the team member that's currently driving the car, use "/#N@" (add the @ symbol immediately after the car number). If the team's car is in its pit stall but the driver has gotten out of the car, that user is still PM-ed. If the team's car is not even in the world, no PM is sent when attempting to message its current driver, and you will be informed of this.
- - - - - To prevent receiving duplicate messages, if you would receive a chat message you sent because the target includes you (you're on the target team, you're the target team's driver, or you're talking to yourself!), you only receive the message due to being associated with the target of the message. That is, the message is not separately echoed directly back to you.
- - - You can continue to manually PM an individual using the existing mechanism of specifying their name after the "/".
- Text chat responses to Race Control Admin commands now identify the targeted entry with the team name and car number, instead of the name of the driver. In non-driver-swap events, the “team name” is the driver's name.
- An option for the units selection has been updated to “English (USA)” for clarity.
Camera
- A new highest option level, “Ultra”, has been added for Motion Blur.
- Fixed an issue with Driver View Pitch/Roll chassis effects so that when the view is locked to the horizon the car can now roll farther without the camera following the position of the car. This should help reduce motion sickness in VR if you use this feature.
- Fixed an issue for whenever a car’s center-of-mass left the camera frame, all motion blur on the car was lost.
- Fixed an issue where the focus of the camera was getting unwanted motion blur for cockpit cameras.
- Fixed an issue with motion blur on cars when using multiple displays.
Controls
- The automatic parking brake that holds a car still when you come to a stop will now fully apply itself anytime the car comes to a stop, rather than waiting for the user to hold the brake pedal down once stopped. This should help prevent cars from accidentally rolling away when you come to a quick stop but fail to fully engage the brake pedal.
- The Reset Button now prevents users from putting you into the car if your steering wheel needs assignment. Doing this now will take you to the Controls Wizard and allow you to assign and calibrate your driving controls.
- The test for XInput devices has been simplified.
- Fixed an issue that could cause some joysticks to fail to calibrate properly if the previous calibration was similar enough to the new calibration.
- Fixed an issue in the Options screen where the inputs (shifter, wheel, etc) would not respond if a button was held down on a wheel.
Force Feedback
- When calibrating a wheel, iRacing now checks that your selected maximum wheel angle and Force Feedback status match what we expect based on your detected hardware. A notification will appear if these do not match.
- - - This is an effort to detect common errors with certain wheels, either that do not have the correct drivers installed or that have a maximum wheel angle set to a very low value by default. If you receive this notification, or need help setting up your racing wheel, please reach out to Customer Support.
- iRacing will now try to automatically detect your racing wheel’s maximum force, and adjust the wheel force slider accordingly. This is used to help us safely and automatically calculate the force levels to send to your wheel. We can't always know how your wheel is set up, so this may be an overestimate of your maximum force level. This is the safer guess, but in some instances it may limit how strong of a force you can request from the simulation. In those cases you can turn off the “auto-mode” and manually set your wheel’s peak value, if known.
- Improved the force auto tune button so that it takes the wheels maximum force into account. This will lighten up the auto tune as the wheel force increases.
- - - There is a new scaling parameter in the “app.ini” file, “autoForceFactor”. This value defaults to 0.5, and allows you to adjust the aggressiveness of the reduction. Setting “[Force Feedback] autoForceFactor=1” will remove all reduction, giving you a 1:1 force output. Setting it to 0 will effectively always give you 6 Nm of peak force at the wheel. Any value in between will blend between these two extremes. The default value of 0.5 should be a good value for most users.
- A mappable button (Ctrl-A) has been added to apply the Auto Force adjustment found in the F9 Black Box.
- For the Auto Force Feedback peak force detection, data collected when the car is out of control will now be suppressed. Also, data collection will be paused for several seconds immediately after an incident. The goal is to make this system more stable and consistent, even if you wreck.
- For Force Feedback, a safety check has been added to detect if the wheel jumped in position (ie: we lost/gained communication with the wheel). If a communication interruption is detected, Force Feedback will be suppressed momentarily for safety.
- A new slew rate limiter filter that is controlled via the smoothing slider is now available in the Force Feedback options tab.
- - - This filter limits the rate of change of the force feedback signal so your wheel can't accelerate beyond a fixed value. In essence it smooths out the large jolts while leaving the rest of the signal alone. A value of 25% will have almost no impact on your regular driving, while softenting out curb or wall impacts, and a value of 75% will smooth out most rumble strips and make curb hits almost invisible. If you find that you have to turn down the FFB forces below the level you would like because the jolts from curbs or accidents are too large, then try turning this filter up instead. Try a value of 50% to start, and turn it down to 25% if you feel it is too much.
- - - - - You can go back to the old boxcar filter via the “[Force Feedback] smoothingFilterType=1” entry in the “app.ini” file.
Replays
- Chat messages and incident point accruement are now saved and viewable with Replays.
- Fixed an issue where custom Paint Schemes were not appearing on AI Drivers in Replays.
Telemetry
- Live brake line pressure (LFbrakeLinePress) has now been zeroed out and will no longer show a value.
- - - Disk based brake line pressure is still available (LFbrakeLinePress), and now has any ripple from the abs modulation included in its value.
- - - A new BrakeABSCutPct value has been added to the disk based telemetry that shows the percent of brake force reduction being applied by the ABS system.
- Driver suit, body, face, and helmet type ids have been added to the session string.
Official iRacing Sporting Code
- A variety of updates have been made to the Official iRacing Sporting Code, including:
- - - A new section 6.8.3. has been added which describes the correct behavior for Starting from Pits.
- - - Restructured the paragraphs describing Rolling Starts for improved clarity for both Oval and Road racing.
- - - Better explained how multiclass cars grid, and defined what starts a multiclass race.
- - - License Class images have been updated.
- - - Identified that Joker Laps may not be used for time-based competitions at Rallycross Tracks.
- - - A reminder has been added that it is unacceptable for suspended or restricted Members to use alternate accounts.
- - - Identified that nefarious tactics may also not be used during Races, and removed a poor example of nefarious behavior.

2023.06.04 04:17 JoshAsdvgi THE LITTLE PEOPLE
| THE LITTLE PEOPLE All children who live close to Mother Earth come to know and to see the fairies of the flowers, the woods, the rocks, and the waters. These fairies the Iroquois call the _Jo gah oh_, or "Little People," because they are so small. The Little People can do wonderful things. Whatever they wish, they can do. They can fly through the air. They can dart under or through the water, into the earth and through the rocks, as they please, for they wear invisible moccasins and travel in winged canoes. Their wee babies are carried on the little mothers' backs,--just like the Indian's papoose. The little fathers have wonderful winged bows and arrows, that can shoot any distance they wish. The Little People bring good luck to the Indians. Whatever Indian boys and girls wish for,--if they wish hard enough, the _Jo gah oh_ will bring to them. It is said that there are three tribes of these Little People,--those that live in the rocks beside streams and lakes, those that hover near the flowers and plants, and those that guard the dark places under the earth. The rock Little People are very strong. They can uproot large trees and can hurl great rocks. Sometimes they dare the Indians to a test of strength with them. They also like to play ball with stones. The Children fear the Stone Throwers, as they call them. But they love the little folk that help the flowers to blossom, and the fruit and grains to grow and ripen. They remember these Little People in their Feasts , for do the _Jo gah oh_ not help the sweet waters of the maple to flow? Do they not whisper to the growing seeds and show the way to the light? Do they not guide the runners of the strawberries, turn the blossoms to the sun, and paint the berries red? They also tint the grains, and give to the corn its good taste. A third tribe of Little People dwell under the earth. They guard the sacred white buffaloes, and keep the serpent monsters that live in the darkness below from coming to the surface to the Children. There are trails that lead out to the sunlight, but the Little People guard them close, although sometimes a great serpent will find the trail of a spring, and will follow it and poison the waters. Often, at night, these elves of the dark come to the upper world to dance with the other Little People. Wherever you find a tree in a deep, dark part of the wood, around which no grass will grow, there you may be sure a dance ring has been formed. There the Little People have danced till the moon dropped out of the sky. submitted by JoshAsdvgi to Native_Stories [link] [comments] |

| Bought a NARS light reflecting foundation during the spring Sephora sale. The cap got stuck into the lid after a couple of times. I’m no newbie to makeup or the disaster that is NARS packaging (I’m looking at you, liquid orgasm blush) but cmon.. after 3 uses?? So what did I do? I scoured the internet for tips on what to do. Some said use tweezers, other said to push down the lid with a lot of strength. Nothing worked. Alas, I went back to Sephora and talked to the lady who convinced me to buy the foundation. Absolutely subpar customer service imo. Lady I talked to said I should have been more careful with my products, and that it wasn’t a big deal. At this point I was absolutely p*ssed. Paying maple bucks for a NARS foundation in Ontario, where tax is 13% is not exactly cheap, even with a 20% discount. Also, the past arrogance I’ve experienced at this particular Sephora location had left a particular bad taste in my mouth. Just on Friday it occurred to me that I could try emailing NARS customer service.. I didn’t go into this with much hope but figured hey, if I got a faulty batch, maybe they could send me a new pump and lid, or maybe they have better tips on how to fix it. The sweet lady who handled my case asked for proof of purchase and a video of the bottle. I obliged, and guess what? They are sending me a full bottle at no extra cost. I went into this thinking I could possibly just get a new pump and lid, and I would have been happy with that. Lesson learned, I will contact and provide feedback to companies directly from now on. I don’t mind if they solve my problem or not, I just want to be treated with respect by businesses where I spend my money. I don’t plan on shopping at Sephora anymore as the comment from the sales associate was my last straw. Shoppers carries all the high end makeup brands I use, the workers are sweetie pies and the points system isn’t abysmal 😋 TLDR; Sephora customer service is mediocre at best, you’re better off contacting the brand itself. submitted by marvelousmathie to Sephora [link] [comments] |
2023.06.04 02:43 dailySuttaBot MN 126 Bhūmijasutta: With Bhūmija
MN 126 Bhūmijasutta: With Bhūmija
https://daily.readingfaithfully.org/mn-126-bhumijasutta-with-bhumija/ [Note: Today’s sutta is a bit longer than usual, but it’s easy to read.]
So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground.
Then Venerable Bhūmija robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to the home of Prince Jayasena, where he sat on the seat spread out.
Then Jayasena approached and exchanged greetings with him. When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to Bhūmija:
“Master Bhūmija, there are some ascetics and brahmins who have this doctrine and view: ‘If you make a wish and lead the spiritual life, you can’t win the fruit. If you don’t make a wish and lead the spiritual life, you can’t win the fruit. If you both make a wish and don’t make a wish and lead the spiritual life, you can’t win the fruit. If you neither make a wish nor don’t make a wish and lead the spiritual life, you can’t win the fruit.’ What does Master Bhūmija’s Teacher say about this? How does he explain it?”
“Prince, I haven’t heard and learned this in the presence of the Buddha. But it’s possible that he might explain it like this: ‘If you lead the spiritual life irrationally, you can’t win the fruit, regardless of whether you make a wish, you don’t make a wish, you both do and do not make a wish, or you neither do nor don’t make a wish. But if you lead the spiritual life rationally, you can win the fruit, regardless of whether you make a wish, you don’t make a wish, you both do and do not make a wish, or you neither do nor don’t make a wish.’ I haven’t heard and learned this in the presence of the Buddha. But it’s possible that he might explain it like that.”
“If that’s what your teacher says, Master Bhūmija, he clearly stands head and shoulders above all the various other ascetics and brahmins.” Then Prince Jayasena served Venerable Bhūmija from his own dish.
Then after the meal, on his return from almsround, Bhūmija went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him all that had happened, adding: “Answering this way, I trust that I repeated what the Buddha has said, and didn’t misrepresent him with an untruth. I trust my explanation was in line with the teaching, and that there are no legitimate grounds for rebuke or criticism.”
“Indeed, Bhūmija, in answering this way you repeated what I’ve said, and didn’t misrepresent me with an untruth. Your explanation was in line with the teaching, and there are no legitimate grounds for rebuke or criticism.
There are some ascetics and brahmins who have wrong view, wrong thought, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong immersion. If they lead the spiritual life, they can’t win the fruit, regardless of whether they make a wish, they don’t make a wish, they both do and do not make a wish, or they neither do nor don’t make a wish. Why is that? Because that’s an irrational way to win the fruit.
Suppose there was a person in need of oil. While wandering in search of oil, they tried heaping sand in a bucket, sprinkling it thoroughly with water, and pressing it out. But by doing this, they couldn’t extract any oil, regardless of whether they made a wish, didn’t make a wish, both did and did not make a wish, or neither did nor did not make a wish. Why is that? Because that’s an irrational way to extract oil.
And so it is for any ascetics and brahmins who have wrong view, wrong thought, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong immersion. If they lead the spiritual life, they can’t win the fruit, regardless of whether or not they make a wish. Why is that? Because that’s an irrational way to win the fruit.
Suppose there was a person in need of milk. While wandering in search of milk, they tried pulling the horn of a newly-calved cow. But by doing this, they couldn’t get any milk, regardless of whether they made a wish, didn’t make a wish, both did and did not make a wish, or neither did nor did not make a wish. Why is that? Because that’s an irrational way to get milk.
And so it is for any ascetics and brahmins who have wrong view … Because that’s an irrational way to win the fruit.
Suppose there was a person in need of butter. While wandering in search of butter, they tried pouring water into a pot and churning it with a stick. But by doing this, they couldn’t produce any butter, regardless of whether they made a wish, didn’t make a wish, both did and did not make a wish, or neither did nor did not make a wish. Why is that? Because that’s an irrational way to produce butter.
And so it is for any ascetics and brahmins who have wrong view … Because that’s an irrational way to win the fruit.
Suppose there was a person in need of fire. While wandering in search of fire, they tried drilling a green, sappy log with a drill-stick. But by doing this, they couldn’t start a fire, regardless of whether they made a wish, didn’t make a wish, both did and did not make a wish, or neither did nor did not make a wish. Why is that? Because that’s an irrational way to start a fire.
And so it is for any ascetics and brahmins who have wrong view … Because that’s an irrational way to win the fruit.
There are some ascetics and brahmins who have right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion. If they lead the spiritual life, they can win the fruit, regardless of whether they make a wish, they don’t make a wish, they both do and do not make a wish, or they neither do nor do not make a wish. Why is that? Because that’s a rational way to win the fruit.
Suppose there was a person in need of oil. While wandering in search of oil, they tried heaping sesame flour in a bucket, sprinkling it thoroughly with water, and pressing it out. By doing this, they could extract oil, regardless of whether they made a wish, didn’t make a wish, both did and did not make a wish, or neither did nor did not make a wish. Why is that? Because that’s a rational way to extract oil.
And so it is for any ascetics and brahmins who have right view … Because that’s a rational way to win the fruit.
Suppose there was a person in need of milk. While wandering in search of milk, they tried pulling the udder of a newly-calved cow. By doing this, they could get milk, regardless of whether they made a wish, didn’t make a wish, both did and did not make a wish, or neither did nor did not make a wish. Why is that? Because that’s a rational way to get milk.
And so it is for any ascetics and brahmins who have right view … Because that’s a rational way to win the fruit.
Suppose there was a person in need of butter. While wandering in search of butter, they tried pouring curds into a pot and churning them with a stick. By doing this, they could produce butter, regardless of whether they made a wish, didn’t make a wish, both did and did not make a wish, or neither did nor did not make a wish. Why is that? Because that’s a rational way to produce butter.
And so it is for any ascetics and brahmins who have right view … Because that’s a rational way to win the fruit.
Suppose there was a person in need of fire. While wandering in search of fire, they tried drilling a dried up, withered log with a drill-stick. By doing this, they could start a fire, regardless of whether they made a wish, didn’t make a wish, both did and did not make a wish, or neither did nor did not make a wish. Why is that? Because that’s a rational way to start a fire.
And so it is for any ascetics and brahmins who have right view … Because that’s a rational way to win the fruit.
Bhūmija, it wouldn’t be surprising if, had these four similes occurred to you, Prince Jayasena would have gained confidence in you and shown his confidence.”
“But sir, how could these four similes have occurred to me as they did to the Buddha, since they were neither supernaturally inspired, nor learned before in the past?”
That is what the Buddha said. Satisfied, Venerable Bhūmija was happy with what the Buddha said.

2023.06.04 02:01 vaughnerich Playground Interactivity (akin to Clear Coasts)
Given the recent news with the TTR team wanting to include more interactivity into the Clear Coasts Playground, it re-inspired me to examine how other Playgrounds could be turned into more interactive areas (long ago I touched upon this topic on a
post in a series of posts where I designed unique clothing I envisioned could be sold or rewarded in the Neighborhoods).
I think it is unfortunate that Playgrounds lose use as you progress through the game. I think that giving each Playground (or even the Streets) unique features could help bring some more life to the Neighborhoods and the game in general. People might just log on to hang around in the Playground and interact with others there. Hardly anyone hangs around any Playground besides Dreamland since there are frequent Bean Unites and its the sort of "end game" Playground.
- For all Playgrounds, there should be a return of one or multiple roaming (non-Disney) NPCs. They haven't historically been particularly interactive but they did add a sense of life to the Playgrounds. They also could be made into something interactive, like if they could offer unique (perhaps repeatable) Tasks and Seasonal/Event-based Tasks.
- I also think all Playgrounds could have something like a Doodle Show contest whether it be minigames or communal voting based like Fashion Frenzy on Roblox lol. Could have contests based on performing Tricks, winning a minigame, or accessories, etc. They could reward winners unique things and encourage people to interact with and or train Doodles (which many think deserve a rework of Training anyway).
- Finally, as evidenced by my linked post, I think all Playgrounds should have unique themed Clothing in their Clothing Stores. I also think a themed Furniture Store with unique Estate skins, and uniquely uniformed Toon HQ NPCs would be nice for each Playground/Neighborhood.
I also am going to refer to the Playgrounds with un-Disney-fied names...cuz I think it needs to happen.
Toontown CentralTTC has Flippy and the Silly Meter at Toon Hall, the Toontown Schoolhouse, the Toontown Bank, and the Toontown Library. Things could be done with these buildings and I feel like its been explored a lot in the past since theyve been there since TTO. TTC is a bit of a social hub already for new players and older players looking to do "Help New Toons" tasks. I suppose it could still do with a unique activity. Maybe games of Toon Tag lol. It could be a cool way to bring back the game TTO was inspired by.
The DockCould be a Fishing-related hub with a Shop related to buying new Rods or getting advice on where to look for certain fish or something like that ( i think many people use ToonHQ for such a thing already, but such information should perhaps be worked in game for new players who don't know to look online).
I also have thought that fishing up trash could be more of an actual activity/side-mission to do. It could be used to reward players for "cleaning up Toontown". I would also suggest adding a few different types of trash besides Boots. But such a thing could be done via a Fishing Shop.
Pirates have an association with games to pass time on boats or in pubs, so putting in some games like that in a Tavern or something might be cool. A knockoff of Battleship could also be an option.
With all the water there, there could be diving contests via a minigame or treasure-finding contestsswimming around the Playground body of water.
The GardensIn my linked post from a long time ago I discussed having tea tables at which you could play parlor games like the picnic tables in Acorn Acres (that no one ever goes to or uses).
Similar to the Dock with Fishing, the Gardens could be a hub for the Gardening activity. Could be the way to start Gardening or planting Gag Trees, getting new lawn statues, learning about Bean combinations for Flowers, getting new skins for your flower beds, etc. Could perhaps be the only way to sell Flowers since I personally think selling them at the wheelbarrow in your Estates is kind of random/weird.
Could also be a hub for Toon fashion via Toon fashion contests.
MelodylandShould be a hub related to music with perhaps purchasable music tracks you could put on a music player at your Estate, DDR style dance contests, and perhaps all the sculptural instruments around the Playground should be interactive. Like the piano key walkway could play notes as you pass over it. Could be a way for Toons to make music together.
The BrrrghYou could have an actual snowball fight minigame, snowman building for fun or contests, a hill to sled on, a skiing minigame, or a skating rink to casually practice for Sellbot Field Offices (half-joke).
DreamlandThey have already discussed making the Playground structures able to be climbed upon. I think it'd be cool if the giant pillow or all of the bedding in the Playground were extra bouncy if you jump.
Dreamland has two Shops, in the Playground already for some reason, they could be expanded into actual useful buildings or something...
As far as activities, I'm unsure, but given the theme of sleeping/dreams, it's kind of up to your imagination lol. Could have a platforming game jumping on star-shaped platforms until the first Toon reaches the top or something. Maybe a sleepy wandering NPC could host games of "red-light green-light" themed around sneaking up to them while they are sleeping and freezing when they wake up. Idk.
Please share your other thoughts and ideas on making/how to make the Neighborhood more alive, interactable, and social hubs that could keep players returning despite furthering the main Taskline. submitted by

- Wanna postulate what would happen if you did ____?
- Need input from more experienced people?
Post away! If you have questions which have gone unanswered in one of the previous threads, post 'em again!
If you feel the need to create a new post, please
search the sub before posting. Soil type, soil mixes, grow lights, etc. are common questions and there are
many threads already discussing them.
New to our Sub?
Be sure to familiarize yourself with our
Rules and
Posting Guidelines.
Be Nice: Please be kind to your fellow succulent friends. Downvoting is discouraged. We want everyone to feel welcome here!
Good Photos: Clear, in focus photos in natural light give you the best chance at assistance. Heavily edited or filtered photos that alter the original colors of a plant are
not allowed, as this is unrealistic, and succulents are already a vivid range of colors! Photos that specifically link to an Instagram post are not allowed and
will be removed.
Advertising: Advertising is allowed provided you flair your post correctly, and stay to answer any user questions. A short description of yourself/shop/nursery in the comments would also be appreciated. This applies for self-promotion of YouTube channels or affiliated Blogs. T Shirts are not allowed to be posted. Plant sales must be posted in our Monthly Buy/Sell/Trade Thread.
Appropriate Flair Required: Flair is required. Flair your posts accurately.
Not OC/Uncredited Post. Reposts: Photos taken from other places (Instagram, Facebook, the internet, a store's website etc.) are not considered OC and must have a source for the photo. Please link the place where you saw the image in the comments. Failure to follow this rule may result in removal of the post. This rule also applies to meme/joke reposts.
Max 5 posts Per Day (24 hours): If you have more than 5 photos you wish to share, or have identified, they must be posted as an album. You can utilize Reddit's own image uploading, or an external image upload site, such as Imgur. This is to keep the sub relatively clear, and to keep posts from getting reported as spam.
No Pictures Complaining of Painted Plants or Glued Flowers: We know they exist; and your post will not be the first to exclaim disdain. Any such posts will be removed. This rule does not apply to any
Help requests, or potential progress pictures for such plants.

previous years' Overwintering Megathreads.

dedicated section on Grow Lights in our FAQ. For a rundown of basic light specs,
check this post out.
Have a plant health question? Help us help you by using the below guidelines:
Information, information, information! Try to keep your answers to the below concise and easy to read (bullet points are easier on the eyes than paragraphs).

- Drainage: Is the plant in a container? What kind? Does it have a drainage hole?
- Potting medium: What kind of mix is the plant potted in?
- Water: How often do you water and how much?
- Sunlight: Where is the plant situated and what is its exposure to sun like? Direct/indirect sunlight? Hours per day?
- History: How long have you had the plant, when did this start, and have any changes been made recently? (E.g., repotting, location change.)
- If concerned about rot: Are any sections of the stem, roots, or leafs mushy to the point where there is no structural integrity? Any unusual odor or changes in color?
If you ever have any questions, feel free to send a mod mail for us mods to help you out.

I just wanted to shout out this restaurant. I was in the shopping center on the corner of elk Grove Blvd and Bruceville Rd. I saw the sign and was interested so I looked it up on google maps to see a rating and look at reviews. The problem is their google page is screwed up. So out of curiosity I went to have lunch and it was AMAZING. I want to shout them out because they deserve 5he business and I don't want google to screw it up.

2023.06.04 01:43 GYNlady How do I deal with the guilt now that I have initiated the separation?
Two weeks ago, I told my husband that I wanted to separate and we've been staying in separate rooms ever since. I want a divorce because, to put it simply, he doesn't consider me. He doesn't consider my needs in the bedroom, he doesn't show me love in my love languages, he doesn't go out of his way to do anything for me aside for bringing flowers home occasionally. I make twice as much money as he does and still do ALL housework, grocery shopping, schedule organizing, etc. for our family of three. I feel like I am a warm body of a wife. I could be replaced with anyone.
We've had a few very serious talks about the issues in our marriage- talks with me sobbing and sobbing. Things improve for a few months, and then we are back to square one. Ever since I told him I wanted the big D word, however, he's been WONDERFUL. He is doing everything right. He has cried daily and told me he's hit rock bottom. He is going to therapy this week. He sees "the light" so to speak. I truly believe this time is different in the sense that, for whatever reason, he didn't take it seriously before and now does. He is heartbroken.
On the other hand, I am dead inside. If I were a betting person, what makes more sense-- believing my entire experience with him? Or believing in his potential to change? It really hurts my feelings that me simply asking as his wife wasn't enough to change him before. I am glad he finally understands, but it's not my "problem" (for lack of a better word) that it's when I am already done.
I feel mass amounts of guilt. I read someone's post on here that said, "Having guilt doesn't mean it's the wrong decision. It means you have empathy" and I like that, and I am truly trying to believe it. I feel like I am ruining my family. I worry about my daughter. I see him crying daily and I feel like a complete piece of shit. I do start therapy this week to find ways to cope. I am worried that I am going to be sucked back into the relationship literally because I feel so bad.
How do I deal with the guilt?

Similar to a credit/debit card, Vultor offers an inexpensive, simple, and secure solution that enhances the way we transact with cryptocurrencies. Key Features: Built for Security: Vultor prioritises the safety of your assets by storing private keys offline in an air-gapped environment. Your keys never leave the secure element of the card, ensuring maximum security. Contactless Transaction Verification: With NFC technology, you can securely sign and authorise transactions and payments by simply tapping the Vultor card on a mobile device. It provides a convenient way to accept cryptocurrency payments, making it ideal for various businesses such as flower shops, food delivery services, and beverage sales. Peer-to-Peer Contactless Transactions: Vultor eliminates the need for additional devices like expensive POS terminals. By using your NFC-powered smartphone, you can turn it into a crypto POS terminal, enabling fast and familiar contactless payments. Say goodbye to slow processing transactions and waiting for terminal authorisations. Vultor's Vision and Perceived Success: Our vision is to create a world where products and services can be bought and sold among peers using the Vultor card, both in-store and online. We aim to reduce the costs of doing business, streamline payment operations, and open communication barriers without the need for expensive card terminals. We believe that Vultor (VLT) has the potential to become the preferred method of online payment systems worldwide. We anticipate that within four years, Vultor can acquire at least 5% of the online/in-store payment system market share, resulting in over USD 200 billion in transactions and generating more than USD 2 billion in revenue. We also foresee Vultor (VLT) surpassing a market cap of USD 5 billion within that period. Why Invest in Vultor Now? Investing in Vultor presents an opportunity to benefit from the overall growth of the crypto market. With the potential for high gains, especially in the Vultor coin's market cap, early investors can reap the rewards of this promising project. Join us on this journey towards a decentralised future of crypto payments. Together, we can break free from the constraints of traditional banking systems and empower individuals to control their financial destiny. Key Technologies: Near Field Communication (NFC) and Application Program Interface (API) Vultor leverages the power of Near Field Communication (NFC) to enable secure and contactless connections between devices within a range of 4 centimeters or less. This technology allows users to make secure transactions, exchange digital content, and connect electronic devices with a simple touch. NFC can be implemented in both software and hardware cryptocurrency wallets, providing a seamless and convenient experience for making cryptocurrency payments. We believe that Vultor's innovative approach, coupled with the power of NFC and API integration, will reshape the landscape of cryptocurrency payments and offer a new level of convenience and security for users worldwide.
