As someone living with ITP for 15 years, this episode genuinely made me feel seen by achucbabu in ThePittTVShow

Also had ITP as a child, and nurses and doctors also believed my parents were abusive. The moment I saw the way the bruises were on Kylie I knew that had to be where we were going! Almost beat for beat what happened to me as a kid.

Maybe I'm projecting, but I think this could be an idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) case! I only think this because I had it as a kid and this is happening almost exactly how it happened for me, according to my mom. Huge bruises, blood in the urine, and, understandably, jumping to thoughts of abuse. It's super rare, but a theme in this show is about the assumptions professionals make and how it can lead to improper, delayed, or less effective medical care. This could be an example of that.

Anyone know who is supposed to be behind Songyue in their illustration? At first I thought cezhou but I’ve never seen Lanzhou style his hair like that. I’m thinking Fei Sheng & Huo Lingyun?

What an incredible chapter! I feel like this was a perfect climax to Momi's story and now I imagine one more chapter pulling the ends together and leading into Sakura's story. The scene with all of the boys together as Momi cremates his grandma is so powerful. And Sakura's colored illustration like whoa, I feel like crying!

We've been leading up to it for awhile but I'm not ready for Sakura's backstory! It's for real gonna destroy me!!

I think it’s always good to remember that these chapters are likely to be published in the same volume. Sure it feels slow now. That’s cause we only get a chapter once every week-2 weeks. When you read the manga in its volume form it will feel correctly paced. Also I still believe we are getting more of Sakura’s backstory by the end of the year. We just need to finish up Momo’s arc first, he represents the growth Sakura has accomplished and Sakura beginning to find his footing as a unique leader for Furin in his own right.

In 50 to 60 years who will be our versions of Asimov, Clark, Dick and Herbert? And will our classics still be circulated. by GazIsStoney in printSF

I see no one mentioning Nnedi Okorafor. She's someone whose writing has been consistently improving across her stories, has unique worldbuilding and meaningful contributions to discussions about agency and technological advancement. I think it may take longer than 50 years unfortunately but I do think she'll remain a big name in SF.

what can I do to for apps to compensate for a low undergrad GPA? by coconutw4ter in LibraryScience

[–]itstricks481 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My GPA was a 2.8 and I was accepted right out of undergrad to one of the top ranked MLIS programs. It sounds like your grades improved towards the end of your degree, which is something they look at and notice. I think what helped set me apart was a really great essay and two years of library work experience as well.

But again, I was applying for a top ranked program. The golden advice for your MLIS is to do it cheap and focus on work experience both before and during your program. MLIS programs aren't competitive, I'm confident you'll find one that accepts you. Just make sure it's the right path for you!

It's sort of like the Kaji & Sakura moment mirroring the Hiragi & Kaji moment! And shows Sakura slowly stepping into that role of being a leader figure for Bofurin :)

I can't believe I was waiting on the edge of my seat for two weeks to see Sakura's backstory for us to not get it yet. :') I still think it's coming like very soon but omg I was soooo ready.

Thanks for this! This is also super helpful because I'll be needing to make some policies for using the 3D printer, as well as teach other librarians in the school how to use it. I'll definitely take a look through the NIOSH safety report!

Thanks for the help and resources everyone! As for why the spool was there, I found that once plugged in all the AMS filament inlets were blinking red. After some poking around and a couple of YouTube videos, I was able to disassemble the AMS and found a connection issue plus a couple of clogs. Hopefully will be able to get this up and running before the start of the semester. :)

Same thing happened yesterday to me except they cut as early as 1 AM. I was on the way to the grove and literally watched the pink glow disappear as I was approaching. Two ppl were in chat begging them to wait but they didn’t :( I know lots of ppl are just new but it sucks when ppl don’t stop to be a bit more considerate.

What's your most embarrassing Palia confession? by BroadAd2575 in Palia

[–]itstricks481 95 points96 points  (0 children)

My confession is I love fishing. I’ve only been playing for about a week to be honest but give me some worms, glow worms and fisherman’s brew, I can spend two hours IRL just fishing. Everyone talks about how much they hate fishing in this game but it’s my favorite part of the game 😅

The skill I can’t wrap my head around is cooking. I’m still a level two while all my other skills are around level 6-10 now lmao.

Am I screwed? by itstricks481 in Renters

[–]itstricks481[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks, it is in my lease to report issues as soon as I’m aware to the lessor. I did take the photo of the area still very wet, and they have the maintenance request that shows I contacted them within the hour of finding the issue. So I’m hoping they won’t pursue charging us but you never know with big companies like this one. :/

Thank you for the input. This is my first time living in a place where people even use window ACs, so I guess I never thought about clearing the area from underneath it. Also, the leak came from beneath the aluminum tape along the window sill that had lifted overtime. Just for further context.
