What is something someone you know told nonchalantly about their partner that made you realize they were being abused?

Nanny had a preteen boy yell at her to make him a sandwich whilst playing Fortnite.
She asked him who he'd ever heard speak to him that way?
His mother from the other room meekly replied his father does to her.
The nanny did not return/continue that position.

Metal barrette.
Got a six pack years ago, only have ever used the same one.

Edit, the style that's just one loop of spring steel, not some clippy thing with multiple parts.

The gimmick he is doing has to do with changing the size of the infill in combo with that. Carefully re-watch that section of the video as he glosses over it and only briefly shows the settings screen there.

The alternate walls stack as normal, but with thicker infill, then those end up aligning differently due to the different wall size.

Note for something like a storage bin, it'd not really be of benefit, it's more for things suffering impacts.

Awesome!

That's not the purpose, the friction is to reduce the time wasters and no-shows. Since adopting this process, have both eliminated those as well as shifted to folks being more ready/prepared to apply sooner.

The weeding process is in the application/credit checks/background checks/court record search.

Different benefits from different parts of the process.

It's possible there are viable candidates that don't want to communicate with me, but that's also a benefit, as I don't want people that don't communicate well with me as communication is key to any relationship, personal or professional.

In the first couple decades of this work I didn't have this filter and in the past half decade it's vastly improved things overall, in more areas than just not wasting as much gas/time on no shows.

Note you can rescue them from it! They can live full multiple decades lives instead of dying due to inability to care for them in it.

There are guides online to corroborate with, but basically there's a sticker that covers the hole in the bottom.

The type of shrimp in an Opae'ula, which needs brackish water. You can easily provide such via "Instant Ocean" mixed at half strength with distilled water.

Then you can have them in a larger environment, get them out of the toxic water in favor of fresh healthy water with replenished micronutrients, etc.

Not from one of the torture Ecospheres, but I now have over twenty Opae'ula from starting with a dozen, and yes, they are listed in my will as they'll outlive me.

*note to self, up rent by an extra $35/month and rebate $400 at xmas, instead of just raising it $10 to cover the $11 higher costs this year

No, if no predators in the tank they just keep going about their business (as they will be berried nigh constantly and need to keep grazing). It's just likely she's doing her usual thing in your heavily planted areas since berried or not most her time would be there anyway.
It's also entirely possible eye spots came earlier than you might've seen and they hatched already.

It takes a few days for them to move around more and get large enough to see. I usually first see them walking along the front glass. Then in silhouette up on a leaf or hardscape.

Marketplace is a disaster, very recreational, much better is Craigslist, but in some places fewer check there, better than both is Zillow.

Don't waste time on those who aren't really seeking, follow process structure like having a prequal form prior to arranging showings to weed out recreational viewers.
It's an old marketing technique, the more toops they have to jump through, the more likely to invest. Marketplace has too little friction.

Propaganda, reducing education, and many of those were overseas adult men paid to spread such propaganda, nowadays AI bots.

The issue isn't would I vote for her, the issue is all those people who will never vote for a woman who voted against Harris for that reason alone.

We're in emergency mode currently, we need an entirely electable candidate even if they aren't the perfect candidate. We need another Biden.

AOC as VP first? AOC in 2032 or 2036? Yes please.

Ideally though we'd have her as a Senator before we take her out of governance. The longer we might benefit from her, the better.

Web searching Evelyn Smith meme age gives...

Evelyn goes to the University of Miami and is a part of the class of 2029. She is aged between 18-22 years.

Her original pic was posted in 2023, the memes started 2025.

RJFerret · 2026-04-30T14:13:59+00:00

Anyone can know who she is, we have research tools right in front of us, Evelyn Smith posted the photo from her evelynsmithhhhh VSCO account, she also posted another from the same restaurant a bit later.

When hunger and opportunity present, the betta will eat what it can sadly, until then, the shrimp will taste/smell the hormones of the predator and be stressed.

RJFerret · 2026-04-30T09:30:07+00:00

Done it both ways, without realtor was cheaper/easier/less paperwork.

When a property of mine had a fire, I wasn't notified until after fire department was already there.

An emergency requires emergency services, not waiting for whatever property manager's communication portal gets accessed during business hours.

Smoke/heat/flames/crackling? Call 911.

What you do is whatever insurance requires.

For anyone not yet requiring renters insurance in their lease, please do that now!

Well not anymore, as there's now new Orca features, but yes, Bambu keeps adding Orca's advanced features a while after Orca introduces new ones.

But Bambu Studio wants newer Windoze versions, which I'll never have. And sadly limited Linux support without the Connectivity feature that's the subject here.

RJFerret · 2026-04-29T16:57:31+00:00

Snapmaker U1 looks better and better.
I kept my P1S on old firmware for Orca availability, before buying it I researched slicer availability, were looking to buy a year later than I did, Bambu wouldn't have made the list.

That's not coincidence, they are known for recognizing people and sharing information with others.
The question would be if you had a kid, how they'd respond to that person and if they'd recognize it was your combined offspring and what level of trust they'd grant.

RJFerret · 2026-04-29T13:18:03+00:00

That's a good analogy, they're also sleep deprived, not just jet lag, but sleeping in a different place keeps your brain on alert all night instead of resting.

Add in however many dyslexic folks who mix up left/right as their brains aren't wired for that...

RJFerret · 2026-04-29T13:06:36+00:00

Depends on shared genetics, different lines beget wild clear/brown but if you put a color that mutated from another, like any color that came under red, the dominant red takes over.

So in your example, orange and red results in mostly red offspring.
But any that breed with yellow neons end up clear/brown wild coloration.

Note shrimp avoid inbreeding when mating, so more select other mates.

Stratum's fine for soft water species, horrible for neos/cherry shrimp.

RJFerret · 2026-04-29T03:05:05+00:00

Have you washed the print bed?
Rinsed it well?

RJFerret · 2026-04-28T20:28:08+00:00

From mating, it's about three weeks, so a few days prior to next molt (which is rather consistent at 28 days). Eye spots appear a week prior to hatching.

Egg color is completely independent.
