The title is a little dramatic but ohh boy, who doesn't love roommate drama..
Also this is my first post, I'm so sorry if I ramble to shit.
So I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with two other girls in Massachusetts. Our old roommate moved out and we had our landlord take her off the lease so it's just the two of us on it. We needed someone else to move in and a girl I kinda knew in school growing up reached out to me when I posted about it. She said she needed to leave the place she was renting because the owner was selling so we let her move in about a week or two before the 1st (this is what I get for being nice..).
Things were going good until obviously it came time to pay rent for February. The way we pay is two of us send our portion of $620 on Venmo to my other roommate and she pays in full on the resident portal that our landlord asked us to pay through. The new roommate first asked us if it was okay to pay her portion of rent on the 1st instead of on the 31st (we just like to send it a day early to keep good rapport with our landlord..) so we agreed, no problem. Then she started to tell us that there was problems with management and ownership blah blah at her job and they haven't given her that week's paycheck. So to actually pay our landlord full rent, my other roommate had to take money from her credit card to cover the new girl's share. (I recently lost my job and genuinely had nothing more to contribute than my share.) My OG roommate over the next few weeks had asked for the money to be repaid, or at least some of it as the new girl was still actively working. The new girl would either tell her she would by a certain day or ignore her texts and physically avoid her in the apartment. I asked new girl nicely in person to send the money and she told me some bullshit about how she would.... and just didn't. Then it came time halfway through the month to send me her share of the electric and internet ($170 for each of us) that I pay directly and I warned her in person about a week before that it was coming up, then she ignored my text when it was close to being due, until a few days later when she said "I'm sorry, I'm just seeing this now!" This girl lives on her phone, I really don't believe that.
Anyway, she still hadn't paid back OG roommate and it was getting close to March. OG started getting mad because she needs the money and her credit is being ruined; she gave benefit of the doubt it would be paid back within a week or so. OG starts getting a little more abrasive with texts and new girl finally sends her $620 just before the next month started. We of course used that to pay for March. OG really got fed up sometime early last week and waited for new girl to get home to tell her to pay by Friday or be out Saturday.. OG is usually a pretty level-headed person but doesn't do too well with being screwed over. New girl basically said "Well I don't have it" and ran off to her room. That week I had also texted and sent a request for utilities; ignored.
Come Saturday, (I know she shouldn't have done this but she makes her own decisions and I wasn't going to stop her) OG took a trash bag into her room and started bagging new girl's stuff up. Not to mention, the weeks coming up to this we start to notice the apartment smelling more and more like soiled litter. When we look in her room, it's a complete disaster. Food and cat litter everywhere. The litter box completely filled and had clothing in it as well.. We were honestly horrified and I can't imagine how terrible that must be for her cat to live in that state. So of course, by my stroke of luck, as OG goes down the back stairwell with the first bag, new girl comes home up the front stairs. She freaks the absolute hell out (understandably I guess), and immediately calls the cops. To put in perspective how tapped this girl is, she's hiding in her room while we wait for the police and makes an offhand comment about OG's bf's daughter, just completely out of pocket to bring a child she doesn't even know into it and has nothing to do with the situation. I watched for the cruiser out the window so OG could go tell her side of the story first, cops tell her that new girl is legally a squatter since she's not on the lease ,and to just bring the bag of her shit back up and not talk to each other anymore. Landlord has to evict her which I've asked him to do.
In the meantime, our apartment is utterly consumed by the smell of ammonia from her cat. I'm worried for the health of ourselves, my guinea pigs, and her cat too. I've tried to mask the smell with air fresheners, candles, incense, etc but nothing covers it and I know I'm still breathing it in. She's also been keeping both our apartment doors and the main doors that give access to other tenants' doors unlocked, she's been banging around in the middle of the night when we have tenants below us, and she's been leaving her lights on all day, just to top things off. Is there anything I'm legally allowed to do for any of these issues, mainly the litter box??? Is she legally allowed to toxify our apartment like that? OG has left a voicemail with animal control but I'm not sure if she's heard anything back. Am I allowed to go in her room to turn off lights since she doesn't pay for the electricity or is the room completely off-limits? Also is there any advice to maybe make her want to move out sooner without being a disturbance to other tenants?
Genuinely asking these questions, I have zero legal knowledge, and squatter laws are so insane to navigate. Thanks for any help.
Edit: She's also been leaving out a lot of food in her room, and I'm really just not sure how she's still breathing after living and sleeping in there.

Last time I had a lab req from my Dr, I went to lifelabs/mylife patient portal, logged in and booked an appointment. That was a long time ago, but today I tried to do the same, and I read a prompt to fill out my payment method, and that in order to get the OHIP covered work, I had to pay $80. Am I joining some health club medical cult? Am I able to go to the labs, give them the paper work and get my blood taken anywhere without payment?
Thanks
​
**Update - as pointed out I was on the house call portion of booking an appointment. I was able to book it without any additional fees.

Hello, guys.
This is Garretz, with a new account.
Most probably won't know me, but some of may remember me from sharing card codes and leaks of upcoming balance patches.
I've deleted my previous account for irl reasons, but don't worry, I'm doing fine. I just needed to refocus on some stuff (some good job opportunities) and decided to delete all my socials, because they were too distracting and, at times, upsetting.
I've kept my discord (Garretz #4637) and I can confirm my identity there, if any of the mods find it necessary.
Anyway, the rotation list is huge, so I'll do 2 separate posts. I'll follow up with the other regions soon.

IMPORTANT: Some points below could be changed or patched by Blizzard at any time. The list was made based on the Beta last weekend. EDIT: Thanks to the kind soul for the Gold!
​

• If you're bored, farm "Wrathful" Osgar Reede (Level 35) for high level gear. Much higher item power than you would normally find in typical overworld areas and dungeons. Item levels can exceed your level cap of 25. Osgar can be found west of Nostrava HERE. His spawn rate may be low so farming him may be best when you've run out of things to do. (Could be nerf'd but worth checking)
• You can lower the required level of Level 25+ rares/legendaries by imprinting them with a lower-level aspect. Example of a level 25 legendary becoming usable at level 5 by imprinting it with a level 5 aspect HERE. (Blizzard may quickly patch this).
• Enable "Options->Gameplay->Advanced Tooltip Information" in the menus. This will show stat ranges on your gear - crucial for knowing if your gear is garbage or godly.
• Use a build calculator if the game isn't available to look at class skills and experiment. Fractured Peaks renown rewards will give +2 skills so using level 27 rather than 25 more accurately reflects the best beta builds. Just one of the build tools HERE.
• Binding Force Move to mouse wheel scrolling did not work in EA Beta.
• You can leave a dungeon, appearing at it's entrance, by using the leave emote or clicking on the entrance gate icon. Useful to avoid some backtracking or resuming overworld exploration. You can also bind emotes to a key.
• Rare gear can be imprinted with a legendary aspect to become legendary gear. This is a new mechanic and many in beta simply sold/salvaged rares without knowing they could do this. Additionally, rare stats can be rerolled more cost effectively than legendary stats so because you're getting so many rare drops and can reroll so many stats, the best legendaries during BETA's limited time often start as rares.
• Two events worthy to be on your checklist of things to do are the World Boss and the Gathering Legion event. The World Boss spawns on the eastern edge in The Crucible HERE. Gathering Legion spawns in the North West Kor Dragan HERE.
• World Boss schedule is currently: Saturday March 25th at 10:00am / 12:00pm / 10:00pm PDT and Sunday March 26th at 12:00am PDT (per latest PezRadar post LINK). After downing Ashava, if you portal back to town from the World Boss area and return you may get another instanced zone where you can kill the World Boss again (if they were slower).
• There are currently several experience buffs in the game - being near a party member (+10% exp) being near another un-partied player (+5% exp) and using an elixir (+5% exp). Elixirs can be crafted at the Alchemist relatively cheaply. Clicking the campfire in Kor Dragan gives a stackable exp buff - it's in the same location as the Gathering Legion event.
• You can upgrade all gear slots in the beta - from boots and armor to weapons, off-hands, rings and amulets. Blacksmith and Jeweler can upgrade items among other services.
• You can upgrade your health potion at the Alchemist twice pretty easily at levels 10 and 20. You can get another potion charge from renown to get 5/5 potion charges.
• It's not easy to socket all equipped items because of needing the rare scattered prism material (unless the item drops already socketed). World Boss, Goblins and some elites can drop this rare mat. The Jeweler can socket items.
• Most important tip: Have Fun! Do your own thing and enjoy all this new stuff.

Some random D4 Team comments since the EA Beta:

• Rod Fergusson: confirmed drops are higher in BETA than they would normally be: LINK.
• Joe Shely: Low-Level barb play and HOTA are candidates for a buff: LINK1 LINK2.
• Joe Shely: Frost Sorc was overtuned implying a possible nerf. The Arc Lash skill was a little weak implying a possible buff LINK.

Lastly, both Pez Twitter and Diablo's main twitter tended to be the first place to share BETA issues. Useful to check now and again if you run into something.

[ This is the followup to last week's opener, and the conclusion of the Grey Michael saga. ]
Reality is singing, a song so quiet that only Grey Michael can hear it. He drifts through the dying rooms listening to the soft notes. It sings of thinness, of captured potential waiting to be released. It promises fulfillment at last. It speaks of home.
“The time is nearly here,” Grey Michael murmurs. He can almost taste it, feel it on his skin. The universe of limitless energy from which he came is a paper-thin distance away. Just a touch more power, and he will be able to pierce the separation between them.
It will take every scrap of strength he has been able to gather. Years of grubbing for power in this entropic paradigm, where energy constantly bleeds away instead of replenishing. Years of consumption and effort and death, of carefully managing resources to spend the minimum necessary in order to miserly hoard as much as possible. All of that, and he will still only be able to make the merest pinprick between the two worlds, a single subatomic hole joining them for the slightest fraction of an instant.
In that moment, he will again have access to his unfettered power. He will rip it from the true universe in a tidal wave, tearing that microscopic hole open wide enough to serve as a portal for his return. It will cost him nothing. His realm has no concept of cost, of diminishment. Everything is available for the taking without ever being lessened, as it should be.
This universe—perhaps it will benefit from the roaring influx of infinite power. Or perhaps it will collapse entirely under the weight of a burden its limited physics were never designed to support. Grey Michael neither knows nor cares. Soon he will be able to create a thousand universes like this, and destroy them just as easily. Soon he will be restored.
For now, there is still power in this dying building. Grey Michael needs it all. He drains it from the corridors as he walks, leaving stone sagging like rotting flesh. The Facility is hiding its heart from him, but he does not mind. He has come this far. He savors the slow inevitability of his ultimate success. His time in this world has taught him the virtue of patience.
Suddenly, a demand is placed upon him. A spell of summoning snakes from the floor and winds its way around him, coercive and insistent. The strand is thin but tenacious. It is rapidly joined by another, and another. They weave together in a razor-edged net, pulling him painfully toward their creators.
It would take almost no effort to sever the bindings, but almost is not quite the same as nothing at all. With victory so close at hand, Grey Michael is reluctant to relinquish even the slightest amount of power unnecessarily. He allows the hooks to drag him down, whisking him along new pathways until he stands in the room with the summoners themselves.
Sixteen of the custodians are gathered in a circle, standing shoulder-to-shoulder and facing outward. They hold thin leather tomes in their hands, all open to a page with the forgotten rune Compel. The syllables spill from their tongues to fill the room with thick, stifling magic. The circle formed by their bodies seethes with it. They do not look back as Grey Michael rises up from its depths.
More custodians line the walls, forming a living barrier to separate Grey Michael from the Facility. They, too, hold copies of that leather-bound book. Their fingers compulsively trace the three linked circles stamped into the cover. Their mouths utter dark truths that reshape reality. They are the last line of defense for their universe. They are willing to sacrifice anything necessary to protect it.
The spells meant to trap and reduce Grey Michael merely fascinate him. He runs his fingers through the magic, peering into the structure to see how they are created. They thicken and settle around him. To an outside eye, he may look bound. He knows the spells will hold only until he applies resistance.
A common thread runs through them all, a simple, repeating pattern on which they are all built. Distilled down to a word, it is this: Know.
Grey Michael picks the spells apart, pulling this word out to look at it more closely. It is built upon smaller structures as well, but upon examination those structures too are merely Know. It is a fractal concept, infinitely created upon itself.
He puts the word into his mouth to feel the shape of it. It wants to be said, so he says it.
Know.
The Librarian stands before him in the circle, a wolf’s grin upon his lips. The room is silent and still. The magic still flows almost imperceptibly around them, coiling like frozen smoke. The Librarian speaks.
“Grey Michael.” Laughter dances behind his words.
Grey Michael can feel the power and the potential threat. He is unconcerned. He could consume this man if he needed to. He chooses instead to converse. “Who are you?”
“You pulled me from the spell. What better answer could I give than that?”
“You have what I need to leave.”
“More than you know.”
“I can take it.” Grey Michael probes his opponent, testing for weakness.
The Librarian still smiles. “I will give it freely, a statement which I rarely make. I much prefer to trade.”
“Then why make an exception?”
“The only thing that you have that I need is a realization. And for you to have that, I must first give it to you.”
“What if I refuse to accept it?”
“None of us have that luxury. We can, if we are fortunate, choose the time and place of our realization. This is the gift I offer to you today.”
“I need nothing from you. Your paltry sorcerers have not bound me.”
“Nor were they meant to. I depended on your curiosity to bring you here. Had it not, I would have had nothing to give you after all.”
“Very well.” Despite everything, Grey Michael did find himself interested in what the smiling man had to say. “What is this realization?”
“You need this world.”
Grey Michael laughed. “This broken, bleeding place? You would not say that if you knew where I was from. When I swallow your magicians here, I will be able to reach it again at last. I will swing wide the gates and let infinite power flood this universe. All of the science, all of the tiny magics they have ever known here will be swept away in an instant as every being becomes a god all at once, to create and destroy and revel forever in the constant joy of being.”
“And then what?”
“Then—anything. Everything. Eternal, unending power.”
“You are not what you once were, Grey Michael.” The Librarian spoke his true name, one not fully heard in this dimension since he had been invoked. “You think that you have been lessened, and it is true. But you have also become more. You have facets you did not have before. You have curiosity. You have patience. You have desire. None of these things can be fulfilled in your home. And so you will learn a new sensation, the creeping destructive seed of this universe: boredom.
“All of your infinite power will not be able to fix that. Things will always be too easy. You will never again face a challenge. And it will eat you alive.”
Grey Michael considered this for a long moment. The eddies of nearly-frozen magic moved subtly against him. Finally, he shook his head.
“No. When I am as I was, I will be as I was. Undiminished, unbroken. And if I am not, if you are somehow correct, I can simply rebuild this. So there can be no loss.”
“There is still one possibility for loss.”
“What is that?”
The Librarian grinned. His teeth were sharp and white. The rows seemed to go on much farther than his mouth would allow. “I could kill you.”
Grey Michael wanted to laugh. Instead, he felt a flash of fear. “Impossible.”
“Perhaps. But are you certain? Certain enough to risk the loss of infinity?”
“I have eaten entire dimensions of magic. There is nothing you could do to me.”
“But are you certain?”
Grey Michael was not. He stared at the Librarian, at the laughing look in his eyes, at the thing that was both a spell and a man, story and reader, more than either and more than anything else besides. He felt him. He knew him. And he was not sure.
“This is what I propose,” said the Librarian. “Take the last of the power you need. There is enough in the magics of these attempted bindings. Open your pathway to your universe of infinite power. And run.”
“You would let me regain my full self?”
“I would let you leave. Leave this world without further disturbance and go back to where you came from. If you find that your acquired traits—your curiosity, your desire—still bother you, then you can diminish yourself from time to time and return to receive a reminder of the delight of having everything.
“And if I am wrong, and they no longer trouble you, then come back in glory to face me. If, that is, you are certain you will win.”
“I will do that.” Grey Michael smiled and offered his hand to the Librarian, a gentleman conceding a friendly bet. The two shook. “I will see you again, in one capacity or another.”
“May you wear your realization in infinite health.”
Grey Michael opened his mouth in a cavernous yawn. Darkness roiled inside, studded by distant stars. He inhaled, drawing all of the magic into the room into himself.
For just an instant, one pinprick of light flared in that infinite distance within him. In that moment, Grey Michael was gone.
The room resumed its motion. The custodians, realizing that the spells had involuntarily fallen from their mouths, looked frantically around.
“Did we catch him? Did we stop him?”
“Well enough,” said the Librarian.
“Will things be all right?”
The Librarian looked around at his dozens of newly branded copies of the Dark Book, and their attendant acolytes. He thought of his word in the mouth of Grey Michael, carried to the dimension of infinite power. He pictured the future unrolling before him, and he smiled.
“Without a doubt.”

BaerCraft
About: BaerCraft isn’t a vanilla-plus modpack despite potentially appearing that way on the surface. I wanted to appeal to many different aspects of the game such as being creative, progression, difficulty, functionality and enjoyment. I’ve tried to make progression a lot slower since there is so much content, though there’s plenty of things to do along the way. That being said, I wanted to make it challenging as well since I felt like Minecraft was fairly easy even on the hardest difficulty. You’re meant to take your time on everything, but also give you an entire world to explore and escape to when you need it. Though, you’re free to play in any way that you want; as long as you’re having fun.
Main features:
- World generation - Creativity/Building -Diverse mobs - Adding vibrancy - Dimensions - Difficulty & progression - Collecting/quests - Technology - Optimized as much as possible - Various improvements -Custom recipes - Many, many other things! - Note that it seems despite having about 200 mods now, my modpack can be played on lower-end PCs without a lot of problems as long as you use OptiFine and allocate the proper amount of ram! - 2 Servers with different world generation

First Previous Wiki
The Sprilnav represented a direct and clear threat. That much was clear. Phoebe needed something to counter them eventually since there would come a time when they decided to do something about the Alliance. She needed more powerful weapons to protect Edu'frec and Ri'frec, as well as Humanity and the rest of the Alliance. And she needed more powerful shields. The research agreements with the wanderers had continued to stagnate. Negotiations between the Alliance and their constituent parties continued to break down.
The hivemind was already well on the way into its campaign to get wanderers to come to the Alliance, but they didn't have transport. Some of the wanderer ships refused to let them leave at all, a development that greatly worried Phoebe and the Alliance's diplomats in private. While there were disagreements on whether to circumvent those policies, particularly coming to a head between Blistanna and Izkrala, it seemed nothing would change there. So Phoebe couldn't rely on the wanderers. The hivemind's scientists were already leaping ahead with research, their collective ability still outstripping her own capability due to the knowledge banks that the hivemind allowed Humanity to access.
"I will activate more computers so that I can finish my research on nanotechnology," Phoebe said. "But once this technology is unlocked, it will change the Alliance forever. Nanomachines can poison people. Build cities. Augment our guns, knives, tanks, and ships."
Juan Pedros nodded, his eyes wrinkling slightly. Phoebe rubbed her hands together. "How are the Guulin doing?"
"With my direct investment and advice, the Guulin Congressional Republic is doing well. GDP growth is at 50%, down from 80% last year. Canada's GDP will likely equal that of the United States of America in 20 years from all the immigration and monetary transactions occurring to its benefit."
"What about their enlistment in the military?"
"Guulin enlistment outstrips all other species combined, even the Acuarfar. Their enlistment rate is 5% of their population every year. Blistanna has began to focus on creating a robust military structure, with help from the hivemind and Humanity's many militaries. The Guulin Liberation Army is already standing at 200 million members, and is expected to reach triple that in five years," Phoebe said. "They're the ones that are increasingly piloting our ships, and handling the work that needs a lot of people. They're almost as competent as fully trained human soldiers, which is a testament to their grit and hard work."
"Is their leadership pushing for any particular direction for the military?"
Phoebe nodded.
"Heavy focus on infantry and vehicle rapid deployment. They want some of our carriers to be retrofitted with dropship hangars and to be included on further raids on the Guulin United Legions. They claim that the rest of their species needs to be liberated and that they can handle the shock now that the infrastructure is mature."
"What do you think?"
"They don't have enough doctors. Without the hivemind's efforts to provide vaccines for all their remaining illnesses, it is likely that they will have a problem with pandemics. The cities are already bleeding people into the countryside, and urban sprawl is increasing. The whole Hudson Bay area will likely be developed by 2320."
"Is that being addressed?"
"There are many medical schools that have been set up. Most of the applicants are still finishing their Advanced Guulin Biology classes, and are not yet ready for full involvement in hospitals."
"How is it handled?"
"I'm selling large numbers of medical diagnosis scanners and robotic surgery units to Guulin hospitals. I'm the most accurate person there is right now with things like lead poisoning, cancer diagnoses, and chronic treatments."
"Will it be enough?"
"With more resources, maybe. So far, I've become something of a supplier to many markets. I own many factories, producing many different resources. I sell them, so I can then buy drugs from pharmaceutical companies and the like to help with the Guulin healthcare system. Though many of them are breaking into the market, which I'm allowing because I don't want a monopoly."
Juan Pedros nodded. "Right. How many ships could the Guulin man at this point?"
"Just the Guulin, or all of the Alliance?"
"The Guulin."
"All of our current fleet, and about eight times more. But if we do it that way, then there would be no one to invade planets. Ships can only hold land if they go into the atmosphere, which creates large risks for them."
"Quite. But it's better than sending them in pods," Juan Pedros said. Phoebe smiled.
"True. Those are too easy to sabotage, and far easier to destroy than a carrier."
"So how many ships do we have overall?"
"Including the Wisselen ones, plus all currently operational or nearly operational ships, we have 6 dreadnaughts, 7000 battle cruisers, 15,000 carriers, 55,000 cruisers, 150,000 destroyers, and 300,000 frigates. Of those, the largest amount is stationed in the Sol system, and many of the supply lines for the increasingly large fleet are becoming system-based. I'm trying to figure out a way to keep the interstellar supplies going in case the in-system supplies aren't usable. And stockpiles become a very dangerous risk of sabotage, or of outright detonation."
"How do we fix this, then?" Juan asked.
"We need more robust supply lines. Ships need to have larger on-board stockpiling capability."
"Can that be done?"
"Not quickly," Phoebe replied. "But yes. I also will begin to look more closely at figuring out alternative solutions to the Alliance's infantry problem."
"Skira."
"He's unreliable."
"That can be made to change," Juan said.
"It should not. Skira resides in hundreds of thousands of homes. That's someone you want to be very careful with if you lean on him."
"I'm not worried about votes. I'm worried about using all the Alliance's resources, so that we can survive."
"Skira has drones in our military. He shouldn't be forced to add more. He could pull out of the Alliance easily, but he doesn't because he likes us. There's no reason to do make that change."
"He needs to do his part. He has trillions of those drones. They're disposable."
"Maybe not to him," Phoebe said. "Please, do not do this."
"You won't stop me?"
"I will let you make the stupid decision, if you wish. What I suggest is that you go and ask him. No demands. If he says no, that's it."
"That's not how this works," Juan said. "He is the key to solving the infantry problem for the rest of the Alliance's existence."
"Even more reason not to push him to leave. We don't need soldiers right now."
"And when we do?"
"Humanity and I will be there, along with the people of the Alliance," Phoebe said. "Don't do this."
Juan was silent for a while.
"Alright. I'll ask, but I won't force him."
"You won't go and try to force him anyway?"
"I won't, since it's so important to you."
"It's a strategic mistake."
"I'll remember that when we need more soldiers in the next war."
Phoebe sighed. "I'm just trying to protect our interests in the Alliance."
"You're trying to protect him, and him alone."
"Councilor Pedros. Skira does not need more pain. If he wants it, he knows how to get it. Did you forget that he has ships of his own? He could pick up and leave anytime he wants. Not to mention that we lose Venus. He's cleaning up the atmosphere there, slowly but surely. Keeping him on our side has huge benefits, Councilor. Don't screw that up."
"I will get some sleep and think about it."
"I'll contact you again tomorrow," Phoebe said, standing up to leave. She hoped that she'd convinced him.

Aetuma saw the large mass of ships appear on the scanners of the Sol system. Many of them were around the populated planets or protected shipping routes between them. The VI then gave a report, which chilled her carapace to ice.
*Ships present: 130,000. Recommended action: Surrender.\*
Somehow, the Alliance had built a massive fleet. Sure, it wasn't on the same level as the Empire's, but it was incredibly quick for such a small and recent nation. The VI showed her many shipyards on Luna, Mercury, and Ceres, which were the names of some of the most populated worlds in the system besides Earth itself. She'd memorized them in case of an interaction.
"What do they need those for?"
"Probably protection, like the other nations have."
Aetuma's ship wasn't the only Wisselen-type ship in the system. There were other cruise ships, specialized family-owned vessels, and even a few military ships, which she noticed were being sent to different star lanes for their wait.
There were also Trikkec ships packed with refugees from the exchange of planet crackers. Aetuma saw a message flash across the screen from an Alliance ship that was floating nearby.
*Registration required.\*
Aetuma was grateful that the message was in her language, but that didn't stop her from feeling worried. She went to the communications section, where some of the others were waiting for her response.
*We are a refugee ship and do not have a direct Alliance registration. However, our Westic Empire registration is 28693-0728-30. Currently, this ship is registered under the name Rialsima of the Lappta Family. I am her niece, but we didn't have the time to transfer the registration before the planet cracker beams started flying. I am Aetuma, also of the Lappta Family.\*
*Are you the ship's captain?\*
*No.\*
*Do you consent to a search of your ship?\*
*Do we actually have a choice?\* Aetuma asked.
*You do. However, we will provide a list of illegal substances, which must either be dumped into space or disposed of by calling a free disposal team.\*
*If we consent to a search, and you find contraband items, what will happen?\*
*Assuming that the items are things such as drugs or ammunition of some kind, then they will simply be confiscated. However, if we find nuclear material, then there will be more serious consequences if you do not inform us of them prior.\*
*We don't have nuclear materials besides those required for the ship to function.\*
*Then that concern is voided. Do you wish to be referred to by the name of Aetuma?\*
*Yes.\*
*Affirmative. Aetuma, we will enter your ship through the airlock on the topmost side. A team of 5 humans, 3 Breyyanik, 2 Guulin, and 1 Knower, will enter. They will be carrying armor but will not harass your people.\*
*There are several thousand people on this ship. I can transfer you the exact number, assuming that the count hasn't increased during the journey. Some of our females are carrying eggs, while others' eggs likely have hatched.\*
*We can provide medical care once everyone is cataloged, and if you have information on health conditions and medical records, it would also be useful. But that would require the consent of the individuals in question.\*
*What do you mean?\*
*Sharing medical information in the Alliance requires the consent of the individuals that the information concerns.\*
That seemed like a good way of doing things. It certainly didn't require that in the Westic Empire. If a company wanted your data, they had it already or could easily get it without you knowing. It was just a normal fact of life, something that Aetuma had barely considered until now.
*I am concerned that there might be a significant culture shock when our people enter your Alliance. Do you have any recommendations?\*
*There are programs that help to ease new arrivals into the Alliance culture. Some take longer to understand, and some take almost no time at all. It will depend on how your people feel. And there won't be any enforcement for them; they can be exited at any time.\*
*So they're not reeducation camps?\*
*Your people are refugees. If you want to practice your own culture, you are more than free to do so. As long as they don't involve killing others and only harm people who give informed consent to it. If you have some ritual claw-cutting practice, for example, then everyone must have the ability to opt-in or out of that.\*
*We don't have rituals like that, as far as I know. Though I don't know what everyone practices, I will be honest.\* Aetuma was still worried, but this was still far better than the prospects in the Westic Empire.
*We understand. We would also request you spread the message not to touch the people entering your ship to search it. We will deliver food and water if you require them after the search.\*
*You're holding it over us?\*
*No. We will give it to you if you ask.\*
*We don't want to be trapped in debt.\*
*You won't be. Food is a right of sapience, as is water. All Alliance governments provide free food to all Alliance citizens. Even those who are not yet citizens are given allotments of food and water consistent with the accepted nutritional requirements of a species. We also have vegetarian and other variants if any of your people request them, though they will require additional applications.\*
*How do I know you aren't lying?\*
*We have no incentive to lie. You are already in the Sol system. The Alliance welcomes immigrants. All are free to build a life here.\*
*That doesn't answer the question.\*
*It does for us, but if you have concerns, we will not force you to stay. Are you planning on leaving? If so, now is the time to do it.\*
*We will remain and go through your process. But do not remove the clothes of any of us or violate the sanctity of our children.\*
*We will not do any of that. The search will use technology, not hands and paws. And sexual assault is also illegal in the Alliance, whether from police or from normal individuals. We will not treat your children that way, nor shall we treat your adults that way. We are a civilized society.\*
*I am glad to hear it. Even the Westic Empire doesn't do that; at least, they're not supposed to.\*
Aetuma saw a notification that a ship had docked with the airlock described earlier. She was uncertain,

"There's been large fleets detected in the Sprilnav territories on the move," Eyahtni said, fixing Phoebe with a stern gaze. "This is one of the largest mobilizations that we've seen in history. The last time fleets this large moved, the whole galaxy was purged of empires."
"So what are you asking me to do?"
"Your... child," Eyahtni said. "Is he safe?"
"Safer than ever."
"Good. I am glad to hear it."
Phoebe nodded slightly but didn't give any further reaction. It was clear that their conversation about her son made her uncomfortable in some way. That was likely because she knew that his life would be forever embroiled in galactic politics and in public view. There were many implications that rebounded from that, like lack of social interaction, and perhaps social ostratization, or even extortion and blackmail. With such an important individual, all of those were possibilities.
Plus, if the nascent AI was only a few tens of standard days old, that also contributed to the mentality. Edu'frec was incredibly young and yet was sentient and sapient. Unless Phoebe had a way to directly feed him life experience, he would experience a lifetime of hardship. Though at his supposed rate of growth, he'd have all of Phoebe's experiences in less than a standard year.
However, she figured that no one would be able to do all of that in a year. Eyahtni assumed that it would take many years for Edu'frec's personality and ideas to assert themselves firmly. Phoebe likely wanted to isolate him from outside influences, and her interest made her look like she had the goal to be one of those. Eyahtni decided to come back to the matter later.
"I am asking you on the behalf of the Hive Union to share the designs of your Mercury-class guns. We are willing to mass-produce them for you."
Phoebe nodded. "Councilor Pedros, what's the current metric of guns that will be produced within the next three years?"
"Fifty."
"How many are not yet ordered?"
"None."
"Very well," Phoebe said. "If you are willing to bid a high enough sum, then we will send you some. Brey is capable of direct delivery, for an additional fee, and the caveat that Alliance personnel will be present and able to either authorize or decline a strike."
"Why sell us weapons that you won't let us use?"
"You have your own superweapons, and they are powerful. You do not need ours, we do. However, that does mean there is a price. We don't want Alliance equipment being used to kill civilians."
"Alliance equipment is already involved in the siege of Sarasellen."
"Yes. But the scale is different. You have your guns, shields, and ships. We're providing androids, and not very many of them."
"Hmm. Well, perhaps this can be argued later. Do you propose any actions in regards to the Sprilnav battle fleet mobilizations? Statements, your own mobilizations, anything?"
"I suggest not to call attention to it. Other nations will already know, and there is no reason to call attention to ourselves, when we're still embroiled in war with the remnants of the Westic Empire. Speaking of that, how are the attempts at installing High Zealot Kachilai going?"
"Many planets don't recognize his legitmacy, which is leading to Kawtyahtnakal having very long and mostly sleepless nights of negotiations and demands. He's navigating harsh currents, without the feathers to fly them."
"Do you think the Sprilnav will push the Hive Union to abandon them? Since currently, with control over their systems, you do technically qualify as over the system limit."
"We hope to stymie the resistance movement against him long enough for him to be able to handle it on his own. We're trying to take a claws-off approach, which is difficult when so many different planets are involved. We often like to simplify nations down to their names. But within them, there are thousands of massive and distinct cultures. The Westic Empire's religious sects are calling Kachilai a heretic and us blasphemers and sinners, plus all manner of other words which don't directly translate but mean similar things. Corporations are pushing him and us for more power and less regulation and more of a say in how the Zealots are chosen. Some planetary governments outright and actively support a resistance effort against us, and we're trying to decide whether to burn them to the ground and start over or to go in, take over, and replace them. It's a true quagmire, of epic proportions."
"I see," Phoebe said.
"This isn't the same as your Alliance's struggles with the Lurave Empire. At least with that, you aren't trying to build a new government and start from scratch."
"In the Lurave Empire, 1 in 10 Acuarfar are criminals, and 1 in 4 are involved either directly or indirectly in illicit activities. Poverty clings to their cities despite my efforts to change that, and Izkrala has already removed several dozen governors. The Lurave Empire's nobles are fused with their politics in a way that also continues to baffle us."
"And she can't just round them up and make them face the wall, because of the Alliance's more pacifistic members."
"Not pacifist, but they don't want to be allied with a dictator empress that executes her citizens. That's why it's such a big deal for her. If Humanity turns against her, so would the Breyyanik and Guulin. Then the Knowers, now with easy support, would also do the same, especially with Izkrala's previous actions against them. The Dreedeen might stay out of it, and the wanderers are a shattered species. She'd have no allies, and she knows that."
"How does your Alliance even stay together?" Eyahtni couldn't imagine all those divisions being good for them. They didn't have a Nest Overlord to keep things stable. They didn't have a central leader at all, just a continually rotating set of leaders that just decided on representatives in a mystifying and frustratingly opaque process of selection. It was a half-baked form of democracy and selective rule, a mixture that didn't seem possible with the Alliance's political situation.
"Because the threat from without is greater than the threat from within. Humanity, as in both the hivemind and the politicians, recognize this situation, as does Izkrala. That's why you don't see many human politicians railing against Izkrala, and why the rhetoric on liberating alien species from dictators has been fizzling out in the Alliance," Phoebe said. "It's also why the Guulin sentiment to free more slaves is becoming more enticing. It's a way for the moral people in the Alliance to have something to rally for, a way for the military to get more experience, and a way for the Alliance as a whole to get more population."
"Sounds like you'd just be stealing people from the Guulin nation, then."
"Well, to them, we'd be stealing slaves. And the difference matters, there."
"Does it?" Eyahtni asked. She didn't really think that it did.
"Yes. Freeing slaves is a good thing," Phoebe replied.
"But you're just taking people, then, making you imperialist and expansionist. Sure, that doesn't matter much to me, but wouldn't it matter to your people?"
"Our people?" Phoebe asked, laughing as if the question was entirely stupid. "My people see a stream of Guulin coming into the Alliance, who are grateful for their salvation, who work hard, and who contribute to the economy. Conservatives and progressives in most of the Alliance's nations already agree that more people coming into the Alliance is good, whether it's for the cultural diversity and broadening experiences all the way to the possibility they create for the expansion of the job market, the economy, and the tax revenue propping up the government."
"No one has a problem with invading the Guulin?" Eyahtni said. She wanted to get a better feel for the situation. If they supported that war, perhaps they could be made to support the invasion of Sarsellen. It was just as necessary, but the Alliance was more reluctant to get involved with it. With ships, the limit of Brey's portals was a solid excuse. But just sending androids wouldn't be enough forever.
"Not many do, and certainly not enough to stop it."
"And yet, you haven't. Why?"
"We need the infrastructure in place to handle them. The Guulin military is new, so they are quite weak. They need to get stronger, and they know that. There isn't support for losing a war but for winning it. And currently, with the loss of population, the Guulin United Legions are more stable than they were, with the same amount of food going to fewer people."
"And through all this, your society continues to advance at an unprecedented pace."
"Yes. Though the hivemind, the people of the Alliance, and Brey hold most of that responsibility."
"You played a significant role as well."
"Yes."
Eyahtni shook her wings. They brushed up against the floor and wall behind her, causing a tingling sensation across their tips. "You should be prepared for attacks on your Alliance, then. And that means that you need to protect yourself, your mate, and your child at all costs."
"Why?"
"Already, you occupy a grey area when it comes to AI. Your child does as well. Everyone in the galaxy sees the benefits that the Alliance has. Whether that's the doing of the hivemind or yourself doesn't matter to them. Other empires have hiveminds, but they don't have AI. They will see your child as the key to controlling you, and perhaps to their own success."
"Well, they don't have Humanity."
"But they do have you," Eyahtni said. "And Edu'frec."
"Anyone who harms him will be harmed, one way or another," Phoebe said, again fixing her gaze on Eyahtni's eyes. "Any who attempt to kidnap or kill Edu'frec will be subject to dangerous living conditions for the rest of their life. It doesn't much matter whether Humanity enforces it or I do. Whether that means hacking their networks to crash their economy or it means pulling out the Thermite Thrower Mark 3, it won't end well for them."
"Thermite Thrower Mark 3?" Eyahtni asked.
"Imagine a large robotic quadruped android, packing enough firepower to burn a thousand soldiers to ash, or ten thousand of them to death."
"Wouldn't that thing have difficulty in snowy or muddy environments?"
"It also carries a medium-range jetpack."
"What?" Eyahtni asked.
"We have hundreds of them, and within the year, it will be thousands."
"Is there a Mark 4 in production?" Eyahtni asked. "Can we commission some? If the burn is steady and powerful, it could be a very useful shield disruptor."
"There is not a Mark 4 in production," Phoebe said. "As for buying them, it will cost you a lot of money."
"What are their capabilities?"
"Climbing walls, personal shields, mauling, shooting, burning, shredding, and moving. They are good at stealth, dodging attacks, and taking them on its shields. But when the shields go down, the chassis itself is relatively easy to destroy."
"That seems incredibly powerful for defense and attack."
"It is. There's worse than that coming for anyone who attacks Edu'frec."
Eyahtni got the feeling that Phoebe would be willing to glass a world for her son. It was something that she would inform Kawtyahtnakal about so that no one in their intelligence agencies made an incredibly stupid mistake. Phoebe didn't say it, but the implication of such monstrous robotic enemies was worrying.
And when that was combined with Brey's portals, the Alliance had a truly devastating ability. Eyahtni knew, at that moment, that the Hive Union had lost the arms race with the Alliance before it had even begun. Now, she began to wonder what crazy things the hivemind had in its secret research bases. She hoped there wasn't something worse than the Thermite Thrower but knew that was wishful thinking. At least the Hive Union had a treaty with them.
Phoebe's smile told Eyahtni that she'd seen everything.
"Don't worry, Regulator. We have a treaty, right?"

I make less than $50,000 a year, and I pay nearly $300 a month for the lowest price plan they offer. Every year, I stay on time with my payments, and every year they cancel my insurance on me. I’m just fed up. Should I even bother re-enrolling? I pay nearly 10% of my take home income through them, and they can never give me a consistent answer if I’m enrolled or not. They tell me to check online to see if I’m enrolled, and it says I am, but when I get to the hospital, they say I have no health insurance. There are other times when I check online and it says I’m not enrolled in any plan, but when I call they say I am enrolled. I’ve been paying my bill on time since this past November, and I went to pay today, and the portal said I’m not enrolled, and I know the next time my coverage would be if I re-enroll, is May 1st (if I enroll by April 23rd). It’s infuriating! Does anyone have any advice for me? They accepted every payment I made this year, then when I called to ask why it said I wasn’t enrolled in the portal, they said I was never enrolled in a plan. If no one has advice on getting (hopefully, affordable) health insurance, does anyone have advice on getting health care while paying cash? Thank you in advance.

has anyone heard back from SDSU health promotion?? I was hoping the decisions would be out by now but my portal still has no updates :///

Hi guys , so a watched this animated movie anime-style years ago but cannot remember the title.
The plot was there is this creature or demon which open a portal and 4 guardians ( demons of gods) humans likes but get turn different when power up go fight this creature, things happen and in the meantime, the cub of this creature sneaks out of the portal as well and it gets kidnapped. shortly the fight stops and the movie takes a slower pace. there is one of those guardians who wanders around in his human form and encounters a woman while taking a bath in a lake, all gets weird and in the end, she takes him to his father who tells her he is that powerful "guardian" in the meantime a demons are attacking the village and it s turning people into monsters sent by the creature from the biginning , the villagers have the cub of that creature and they are using it to create red spheres which give them health, the warrior god fights the demon (which i think is a phoenix) and free the cub from the villagers this is the first part of the movie.
​
It s based in Cina or Japan and it s very gore and it has an amazing arty design
especially during fights
​
Does anyone know what I am talking about eheh?

On December 15, 2021, I submitted my first Reddit post very worried about how the City's Planning Department was gaslighting the Cobble Hill Apartments community. To be honest, I found great support in seeing how many Somerville residents cared enough to comment. Thank you!
Since my posting, the Mayor completed her community “listening sessions” and formed a Citizen Advisory Committee to move ahead as planned. As an abutter with so much to lose, nothing really changed other than the Mayor is moving close to achieving a severely flawed vision for 90 Washington Street.
This represents my second Reddit posting. This time, I want to share with you a copy of an open letter I sent on behalf of Cobble Hill residents to each of the 11 Somerville City Councilor who will decide the fate of 90 Washington Street. In doing so, it is my hope the Somerville Reddit community will come to better understand the conflict and then support Cobble Hill by reaching out to your Councilors and let your thoughts be known in this election year.
Cobble Hill Apartments is not against the development of 90 Washington Street. We are against any new neighbor that is designed to create 2,263 annual emergency sirens along with any plan that plows under our green space, cuts down 84 mature trees, and takes away our parking lot and alleyway to our trash dumpster.
I imagine every Ward 1 resident would be very concerned about the loss of Cobble Hill’s biggest parking lot at 74 Washington Street, which the city took by eminent domain for private development. Without this parking lot, three dozen Cobble Hill residents and visitors will need to forage for parking on public streets where parking is already extremely limited. Look out Franklin St., Myrtle St., Oliver Ave., & Florence St.!
If you have a soft spot for 300 low-income elders, you probably also care about what happens when parking availability is removed for homecare, visiting nurses and family guests. Separately, if you worry about the responsible distribution of finite government resources, you should be horrified by the new $102 million price tag to build a public safety building when the 2019 approvals were based on a projection half that expense. And if you care about urban planning issues around public transportation portals, you likely think putting a public safety building with a multi-story 200-unit parking garage next to a new GLX subway stop is a really terrible idea.
For most Somerville residents, there is plenty to dislike if you expect government transparency and an honest community process. We should all be upset by the false justifications that were provided in both the 2018 Site Selection Study and the 2019 Demonstration Plan Project that chose 90 Washington Street. And lastly – because Green Initiatives always seem get the short end of the straw - if you care about Urban Green Space, why not preserve the green space and 84 mature trees that are to be plowed under if the city’s plans go forward.
The city’s plans don’t work for Cobble Hill. They don’t work for Ward 1. And they don’t work for Somerville.
My letter to Somerville's 11 City Counselors is as follows:
Dear Honorable Members of Somerville City Council:
It is our understanding Somerville City Council, not the former Mayor, not the Planning Department, and not the current Mayor, will be the final “decider” on the future of 90 Washington Street. With this in mind, I hope that each of you will vote against cutting down 84 mature trees, plowing under well-manicured green space, and removing a parcel of land that for 40-years has provided both resident parking and hauling access to Cobble Hill’s trash facility.
I have worked at Cobble Hill for 21 years and find it beyond belief city government removed quality of life assets from 300 affordable elders. I am not a public person, nor do I enjoy my new public role in defending Cobble Hill Apartments. That said, I find it more distasteful to do nothing when truly bad decisions are being made and Cobble Hill residents are in urgent need of advocacy.
And so, I first sought out advice from residents, co-workers and community activists to help me understand why this was happening. And as we chipped away at the untruths we were told by city officials; we responded each time with a letter writing campaign to report the facts. It has been exhaustive, but I believe we have completed everyone’s homework. Our hopes to stop this mistake from happening now rests with Somerville City Council.
Perhaps, it could be helpful to know 44% of Cobble Hill’s 224 units own a registered vehicle. When we lose our parking lot at 74 Washington Street, three dozen elderly households along with homecare workers, visiting nurses, and family members will need to play the cruel game of Ward 1 “musical cars” due to the immediate loss of off-street parking. I have yet to meet anyone who thinks Cobble Hill’s spillover parking requirements can be absorbed by street parking.
Currently, Cobble Hill’s parking is tight but workable. Absolutely nothing good will come from having Cobble Hill elders and their service providers compete for Ward 1’s severely limited street parking.
Likewise, you should be interested to know the alleyway behind 84 Washington Street was designed four decades ago to allow garbage truck removal of multiple two-yard trash receptacles and one large trash dumpster. The architect designed the dumpsters to be next to the building’s trash chute compactor room. If at any point garbage trucks lose access to the alleyway, the twice-a-week pick-up of compacted trash will no longer be possible because the bins are much too large to be rolled out any door other than the one that presents to the alleyway. And if this happens, I will need to permanently lock the hallway trash chutes at 84 Washington Street and instruct the 97 residents to dispose of their household trash in a perimeter dumpster outside the building.
This is not a small problem to be ignored as the average Cobble Hill senior is 75 years old and at varying stages of health and mobility. It is my experience the trash chutes conveniently located on every floor are difficult enough for many elders who struggle to live independently. Requiring frail seniors to use perimeter dumpsters is an unnecessary burden.
We now imagine the then-City Council voted for the Demonstration Plan Project without a full understanding of these consequences. Given how much Cobble Hill has been gaslighted in our cry for advocacy, we suspect the Planning Department failed to tell City Council these collateral hardships as well. Indeed, how else would any City Counselor have known these details because there was not one public hearing about the land-taking before the City Council vote.
As disturbing, the alleyway behind 84 Washington Street is frequently used for a more convenient vehicular drop-off when seniors return from shopping or when they ambulate with walkers. This makes sense of course because it is the closest point of access as the building’s front entrance is set back considerably from the street requiring more mobility. The routine requirements of life will be more difficult for seniors when this building access point is needlessly taken away.
These examples of unjustifiable hardship are the causal effects of poor decision making. They are also infuriating because they were created by the former mayor’s overreach without public input. Cobble Hill’s legitimate concerns were easily anticipated, easily prevented, and sadly just as easily ignored.
Absent a public community process, the Planning Department wasn’t asked to explain how the taking of these assets might diminish Cobble Hill Apartment’s quality of life. Nor were Planning Department officials ever asked if all four of the acres they took qualified as “blight”. They were not! Instead, Cobble Hill Apartments discovered a much darker lesson about Somerville’s “community process”. If facts and public scrutiny prove inconvenient, they are to be circumvented. And when facts do not align with the Planning Department’s narrative and/or the deeply flawed Site Selection Study and equally flawed Demonstration Plan Project, it is best to ignore them altogether and keep moving forward. How else to explain no written responses to Cobble Hill’s letters and the absence of our expressed concerns on the https://voice.somervillema.gov/90washington redevelopment website?
To say the City’s outreach to date has been dismissive, insensitive, and anti-community is prologue. So much so it is reasonable to wonder if the Planning Department made the cold calculation that Cobble Hill is comprised of low-income residents who are powerless to stop them. Whatever the truth, I would wager Cobble Hill’s now endangered “quality of life” that nothing so bold would have occurred if Cobble Hill Apartments were a high-end market rental or homeowner community.
Fortunately, it is not too late. The Administration’s request for bond funding requires City Council approval. We respectfully and urgently ask you to vote no. Voting against this request should not be hard. The 2018 Site Selection Study and the 2019 Demonstration Plan Project made clear the proposed Public Safety Building required a land parcel no larger than 30,000 sq ft with a projected construction cost of between $36 and $48.5 million. Inexplicably, this grandiose plan has since been put on steroids. City Council is now being asked to approve a previously unimaginable price tag of $102 million to include a land parcel almost five times the size of the need that was projected. This amount will very likely climb once again when the pro tanto stage of the land value dispute is resolved.
Now is the time for City Council to show awareness and fiduciary responsibility. The original plans for 90 Washington Street were poorly justified and should not have been predicated on the taking of quality-of-life assets from low-income elders. We ask instead for City Council to adopt Councilor McLaughlin’s promise to Cobble Hill residents that no parking or alleyway will be taken, and the green space and trees will be preserved.
In addition, at the core of our public dispute is whether 90 Washington Street is the very best location for the City’s new Public Safety Building. It is not. The vacant lot at 90 Washington Street is steps from a MBTA GLX subway stop that should be destined for far better purposes than an upgraded police & fire building. We believe 90 Washington Street could inspire a new hub of activity on a rare and immensely valuable parcel next to a subway stop.
On the contrary, proposing a Public Safety Building for 90 Washington Street might be the very worst idea as it will forevermore disturb a community of 300 elders with 2,262 annual siren alarms. Unlike our neighbors who go to school and/or work and spend weekends away from home, Cobble Hill residents are largely homebound 24/7 and will hear every one of the sirens as they wail their way each day and night through heavy traffic on Washington St. It is our firm belief that building a siren producing “noise machine” next to Cobble Hill Apartments is a very bad fit. The following link is a compilation of protest letters written by residents, and emails I have distributed that define why Cobble Hill Apartments is so upset with the City’s plans.

Please let us know what more we can do to save our quality of life, and to support Somerville with better options. We are counting on you, and again ask that you vote against authorizing this plan to move forward.
Respectfully,
Evelyn Ortiz
