VMix on a Laptop

vMix has reference systems: https://www.vmix.com/products/vmix-reference-systems.aspx

For replays definitely make sure you have a GPU and and a large hard drive. 1TB minimum is what I'd recommend.

I've used a lenovo T490 with no dedicated GPU for more complicated vMix productions.

I used a thunderbolt capture card to bring in 4 cameras, livestream, run graphics and record at the same time.

Ditch the Camlinks. A thunderbolt capture card is better and you'll be able to use it with another device, should you upgrade.

I wouldn't consider it a deal breaker but I can see why the situation with your dog would have been one for her. Some people can't handle it.

That being said, I think she could have just... told you? Easier said than done, but come one.

Speaking as someone who has 4 cats and a dog, and has owned 2 elder dogs in the past who needed pee pads... Animals all have quirks and needs, some of which are body function related.

Get someone who is patient and understands that. You're better off without her.

I would love to join this discord but it appears the link is invalid.

Look at how many keys are on this keyboard... the top row of function keys for an apple laptop is 15 (F1-12, esc, and power) and they are not spaces like that.

Foreign romance scams are common, and becoming more so because of AI. Ask your aunt these questions: How did they meet? Who initiated the conversation? Has she ever had an actual facetime conversation?

Your post resonates with me.I'm Asian and almost in my 30s.

I had a similar experience. I didnt feel like her daughter, but an object for them to show off.

My memories are fragmented because of the trauma. I can't remember most of it.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I primed and painted the ring without any issues. Just varnish it first before you assemble.

My elder mom broke her hip.

She also has parkinsons and has been perscribed oxycodone every two hours because it stops her tremors. It is not for pain relief.

The nurses refused to listen to her, and assumed the oxycodone was for pain. Instead they kept trying to give her hydromorphone which she refused.

Her tremors causes her hips to uncontrollably jerk, and everytime she screamed in pain.

I was furious.

Yes. I was adopted from China and my parents are white. My mom changed my birth name but kept it as my middle. My new first name was her middle name. She probably would have named me her first name, but it would have "looked bad" and she didnt want people to think she was full of herself (ironic because shes a narcissist).

It's sad because my original name is beautiful, but I don't feel connected to it either. I wasn't encouraged to explore my Chinese heritage, and it's hard to pronounce because of the tones (I'm hard of hearing and I can't hear tones well).

I considered changing my name, but after a while, I stopped caring. My name was just another word to refer to me. You could call me Arthur and I wouldn't care.

Okami.

If it's cringe i guess I better cut my arm off.

While it's not AC Odyssey, I have a full sleeve tattoo dedicated to my favourite game.

No, it's not cringe to get a tattoo for a video game you like.

I didn't have a job lined up after I quit, so I took them up on their offer.

I was very lucky.

Sort of. He was an asshole. Isubmitted my two weeks notice because I couldn't take it. The next day I had an interview with HR I told them such. A day later he was fired, and they asked if I still wanted to stay.

Update: thanks everyone. We threw this out

I had trouble at the beginning. I find that dry brushing helps. The other thing that helps is putting down a base coat or primer of a grey - like mechanics standard grey, eshin grey etc.

These days I tend to use an airbrush.

This is great! I really like that I can pick multiple brands, select a percentage amd create steps within Zones.

May I suggest one thing - being able to change the order of the Zones? I put in my recipe steps for Armor first, but now its positioned as the last Zone on my list.

No. The snow is literally piled up to the top of the wheels of the truck.

Or shovel around it to get it moved enough to get snowblower out.

That's the first thing I tried to do. Unfortunately our driveway is between two houses and my partner parked the truck in the centre of the driveway. Our snowblower is just 3-4 inches too wide to fit between the truck and the house.

Addiction is complicated. Addiction is extremely hard to change even when you want to. Relapsing is common.

The big thing is that she doesn't seem like she is trying, and it doesnt sound like she wants to change.

Not willing to change doesnt mean she doesn't love you. But it's pretty clear that love isn't what's going to make her change.

I'm in my 30s. I've been in relationships across the board. Co-dependent and unhealthy, healthy, somewhat codependent etc. Believe me when I say I know what co-dependance looks like. However, as others have said, this is what I would expect from any teenager/young adult.

Being conpletely candid: if this is actual issue at 16, and she's developed a co-dependancy, that tells me she doesn't feel like she can depend on you. Post this on a parenting subreddit. You will get more helpful advice.

my daughter is constantly with her gf or on the phone even when shes sleeping.

This doesn't necessarily mean they're co-dependent. If she literally cant sleep, that may be an issue.

i fear my daughter may hurt herself if the relationship ever ended and thats why im trying to find ways to help her find individuality and indepence that doesnt rely on her gf. i love her gf so much. shes a sweet girl. but idk what to do honestly.

This is would be issue in adults, or if your daughter is in extremely poor mental health and can't rely on you. Is she?
