I’ve spent almost 3 years with this guy. Our relationship was good in the beginning until we encountered some trust issues. He thought I was cheating on him which made me think he was cheating on me. It’s immature I know but when we would move aside from that we were great. We would go on dates, cuddle when it was cold, and just really bonded a lot when it was just the two of us. A year into our relationship we were on and off because it got heated to the point we would yell at each other. We took a break for a couple of months but it didn’t help. Two days ago he finally ended this whole limbo between us and said that he was better off without me and that I’m a cheater and an attention seeker. I don’t know what to say as I didn’t cheat on him. I love him with everything inside me so for him to say that broke me. I decided to not chase him and leave him be. He was my best friend.
Hey everyone!
The wifey and I (Florida natives) are taking a trip from the 12th-17th of February.
First of all how is the weather during that span usually?
Nightlife for us is bar hopping and clubbing somewhat so how does that look during one of your colder months?
We definitely want to take a day trip to
Gatlinburg/Smokey Mountains. So once again how would that look with the dates specified?
Do roads and places shut down completely in the places mentioned above?
Hows public transportation there as well?
Lastly, any recommendations regarding
food/nightlife/hiking (anything at all really) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again!
I’m currently working on setting up a press on nail business!! Just making some example sets for pricing etc.
Got my hands on some sculpting gel and I love it! Just wanted to share these nails I made :) everything done by yours truly!
I'm wondering what's a good easy to work with clay for someone who hasn't done too much stop motion. I live in the United States if that is helpful as I know certain brands are region specific.
Guys! The man I took that selfie with, you know, the one in bad quality is actually a man that translated Sonic Prime to Polish so Polish people could have it dubbed ❤️🔥. He gave people lecture about his work and translating other stuff, like Star Trek 💞
Last year I bought a used, like new SMSL M500 MKIII on Amazon for about $460 which I thought was a great deal. For about 10 months I had no problem and it's been great. Unfortunately, the remote stopped working for it and tech support determined there was a problem with the machine itself and not the remote. Not a huge deal breaker but does make switching between headphones and speakers inconvenient and annoying. Though sometimes I need to switch quickly if I'm listening to music on my speakers and then need to answer a phone call (which I prefer to do over headphones).
The SMSL store on Amazon is really helpful though and offered me to either send it in for repairs (I pay for shipping to China and they pay for repairs and shipping back) or a full refund. I figured my best option would be to just do the refund and by a new one since shipping would be at least $70.
**My question is, have other people had the same or similar issues with new M500s?** I wanted to buy it on Amazon again to get the same great customer service but they only have a used one available and it's $504 (so it's not much cheaper than buying new at $530). However, I don't want to buy a new M500 MKIII if it still has issues connecting to the remote or other problems down the line. I tried searching if other people had my problem but all results are for the first gen M500.
Any help would be great!
Probably unpopular opinion, but still, I can't understand why exactly this game looks so strange. Don't get me wrong, I'm not super into dark edgy shit but goddamn, Riot, this is a fighting game set in Runeterra, a fantasy world with heavy medieval inspirations, so why the fuck does this game looks like a soulless modernized version of Jet Set Radio or some shit like that? It looks so weird and out of place, especially with characters from the alpha like Darius or Yasuo, although it kinda makes sense for something like Jinx.
When Riot announced a fighting game set in Runeterra I was waiting for something with a style more like Mortal Kombat's darker fantasy aesthetic, but what about you? Why exactly do everyone seems to like this art style? I've seen CS2 going a similar way losing the classic vibe that GO had (Not so much with the release of panorama UI) trading it entirely for the soulless modernized eSports aesthetic so maybe that's what riot was going for?
I’m a LotR (lite) fan, meaning I’ve only read the hobbit and the trilogy (and of course seen the movies). But, I am wondering, when Sauron’s former master Morgoth was defeated (I think in the second age?), how was he ultimately defeated?
**1. Overpaying for car insurance**
The average American saves a whopping $410+ a YEAR ([source](https://betterbuck.net/content/heres-how-much-youre-actually-overpaying-for-car-insurance/?subid=Auto-Savings-Red-Savings-v2-1224-Source)) when they switch auto insurance carriers - sometimes significantly more than that: I saved $1,300 this year.
The reason: some carriers offer discount prices to new customers when they switch.
Take 30 seconds and go to a 3rd party comparison site ([Coverage.com](https://betterbuck.net/view-nb.php?offer=bankrate&country=USA&subid=Red-Savings-v2-1224) and [Auto-Savings.com](https://betterbuck.net/view-nb.php?offer=otto&country=USA&subid=Red-Savings-v2-1224) are both fine) to see if you can find cheaper rates. You’ll likely save yourself a bunch of money.
Some people suggest switching every 6 months, that's a little bit overkill imo. Once a year should be fine.
**2. Overpaying when you shop online**
Big stores like Amazon know that no one has time to price shop through dozens of sites, so there’s often no incentive for them to offer bargain prices.
I typically hate browser extensions with a fiery passion, but Capital One Shopping has always worked well for me and I'd recommend trying it ([link here](https://betterbuck.net/view-nb.php?offer=capitalone2&country=USA&subid=Red-Savings-v2-1224)).
When you shop online (on Amazon or elsewhere) it will automatically compare prices for you, and auto-apply coupon codes when possible.
**3. Paying for subscriptions you don't use.**
We've all signed up for free trials and forgotten to cancel them. Stop paying for services you aren't using!
Take a minute and get yourself a good cancellation app: I like Rocket Money ([link here](https://betterbuck.net/view2.php?offer=rocket-money&country=USA&subid=Red-Savings-v2-1224)).
It's an app that will put together a list of your subscriptions so you can pick/choose which ones to cancel.
They also have a premium service that will cancel them for you, if you'd like.
[Here's a link](https://betterbuck.net/view2.php?offer=rocket-money&country=USA&subid=Red-Savings-v2-1224) (it's free).
**4. Dealing with debt on your own**
If you’ve got $10k+ in unsecured debt (think credit cards, medical bills, etc), you can ask a debt relief company to come in and negotiate it for you. You typically will save around 23% on average (after their fees).
Here’s a link to a savings calculator from National Debt Relief's website if you want to see how much you could save: [link here.](https://betterbuck.net/view-nb.php?offer=ndr2&country=USA&subid=Red-Savings-v2-1224)
**5. Not having a financial advisor.**
You know why so many rich people have financial advisors? It isn't because they're better at picking stocks (spoiler alert: they're not)
It's because a good financial advisor will help you with all of the bizarro tax implications you never would have thought of. People with financial advisors end up making \~3% more/year thanks to better tax planning.
If you don't know an advisor personally, use a 3rd party comparison site to find somebody with good reviews ([WiserAdvisor](https://betterbuck.net/view-nb.php?offer=wiser&country=USA&subid=Red-Savings-v2-1224) is solid).
**6. Using normal, low-interest savings accounts**
I'm always shocked at the number of people still using garbage savings accounts that pay 0.5% (or less) a year. There are literally hundreds of banks that will pay you 8x that, usually 10x that rate
[Here's a link to a bunch of options.](https://betterbuck.net/view-nb.php?offer=fiona-savings&country=USA&subid=Red-Savings-v2-1224)
**7. Needing cash, but taking out high-interest loans.**
So many people take out high-interest payday loans – **please don’t do this**. If you get into trouble you can typically get a relatively low-interest HELOC (a home equity line of credit)
Essentially with a HELOC, you’re borrowing against the equity you have in your house and use it for whatever you need (much like a credit card).
Typically, you’ll get lower interest rates and more flexible repayment terms compared to traditional loans.
Here’s a calculator you can use to see how much/little you could borrow ([link here](https://betterbuck.net/view-nb.php?offer=lt-home&country=USA&subid=Red-Savings-v2-1224)).
*Side note: if you hate debt, you can still get money out of your home’s equity by using something like* [*Hometap*](https://betterbuck.net/view-nb.php?offer=hometap&country=USA&subid=Red-Savings-v2-1224)*, where you more or less sell investors a portion of your equity without a loan)*

There are tons of other things (obviously) but these are the ones that I see the most. Hope that helps.

I applied for a wireman position and passed my aptitude test. I have my interview at the end of the month. I'm wondering now if I'd enjoy telecommunications. I like IT and networking interests me. But I also enjoy the kind if work I'd be doing as a wireman and I know I'd be good at it. ( I know telecommunications isn't the same as networking, but it's within the same realm ). I think I'd enjoy telecommunications a lot.
What's the down side of telecommunications? I've heard it's a growing industry and I don't doubt that. But I've also heard less pay, and that I can still do telecommunications as a wireman.
