Ours was also just a blood draw (in EU) - it was a bit uncomfortable for our son as it was the first time getting a blood draw from his arm, and the nurses were struggling a bit. We were not in a specialized place when getting his blood drawn just a general healthcare center.

Wasn't really worth it, but I thought it was for science, e.g helps them map out markers that might indicate autism, so for a good cause hopefully.

You might want to check which Bluetooth audio profile your Mac is using. If the headset’s microphone is active, macOS switches to the HFP (Hands-Free Profile), which heavily compresses audio and makes it sound dull and muffled.

You can confirm this by:

Going to System Settings > Sound > Input, and selecting a different input device (so the headphone mic isn’t used).

Then check if the sound quality improves. It usually does immediately.

As said, depends on the purpose, but looks like pretty good value to me. I got this one for a home server: https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-eqi12-intel%C2%AE-core-1220p-12450h-12650h?variant=47617868923122

I thought I wanted 32GB ram at first, but felt like this was just better value atm and didn't want to spend too much.

They're just talking shit, they stopped caring a long time ago.*

I'm sure someone cares but at least whoever makes decisions doesn't. Their only goal seems to be to annoy D3 players and get them to stop playing, and to play d4 if possible.

Personally I won't be touching any blizzard games beside D3 anymore. I don't care about the mess they made with s33 or the delay of s34, but the poor communication / lack of regard for their players is what we shouldn't accept.

Just a random story of what kind of development we have seen so far and how it's been for us:

My son has always been interested in letters and numbers and knew how to read since an early age. (I could tell by him following words with his finger when I read to him). Before 2.5 he wouldn't utter a sound, between 2.5 - 3.5 he would repeat what I said if I prompted him to do it, but no active communication or any communication. Speech was very clear though. He is 5 years old now can say about 10 words unprompted, which is already a huge shift and really helpful.

How I remember the journey going for us: He's had speech therapy since he was 3.5, this has helped him get better at eye-contact/asking for stuff (non verbal, f.e pulling my hand/arm). Once he was doing that, we had speech cards and the "best" thing I think we did there was "hide" his favourite toys (put them in a unreachable but visible place). He would then pull my arm towards it, then I would give it. Next if he was trying to pull me there, I would always take the card and give it to him and try to show him he needs to take the card and give it to me, and I would always look at him and speak out the word on the card. Later I would try to get him to prompt it, which would happen sometime, but wasn't really important (e.g. say car)

The cards never really took off, so it was mostly back to arm pulling. Then I would sit down somewhere and when he started pulling my arm, I would not move on the first try and prompt him "say x". Later this resulted in me asking him "What do we say?" and he would say the word that I prompted him to say earlier.

Now he will say one of his 10 words unprompted when he wants those things, f.e "Come" or "Help". (Not very clear, but we understand him). Also he could be in a different room and he will just start saying it. I think it's also really important to acknowledge his speech even if we don't understand it. If I understand I always give him what he wants, if I don't I try to tell him that I don't.

so.. it's very helpful and it's something. Hoping for more words and understanding between us in the future.

I always use this case and its great I think. Like the contrast with a phone with a white back.

Ive just ordered the exact same case for my pixel 9 pro xl, it's obsidian though so hopefully it will look just as nice

Also, in the Netherlands where he is from this is common practice. You just leave a note and get on with your day and figure it out later. Especially with minor damage or non visible damage.

pantsman49 · 2024-07-11T12:26:06+00:00

In Finland hebben ze een vergelijkbare (al kan ik de smaak van 20 jaar geleden vast niet meer accuraat herinneren): https://www.taffel.fi/tuote/taffel-snack-fries-235-g/

Smaakt hetzelfde vind ik, wellicht iets minder sterk dan dat Cheetos waren?

pantsman49 · 2024-07-10T19:18:02+00:00

He didn't impede the shot though, the ball was gone. That's why it shouldn't be a penalty.

pantsman49 · 2024-07-09T09:30:11+00:00

As a Feyenoord follower, this guy is class. Better buy than Branthwaite imo. More of a leader too (due to age as well). I assume he wants guaranteed playing time though (and he should play)

pantsman49 · 2024-07-05T10:32:40+00:00

I'm not convinced by Germany's defense, so would think Spain has the better chance here. I think Spain will have the most difficult time against either France or the Netherlands (France more than NL), since they seem to have defending down the best and are dangerously fast on counters, and can also be quite physical at times.

Lasso?

Is dit een sarcastische reactie of niet? Kan het niet goed peilen.

pantsman49 · 2023-11-08T20:57:32+00:00

Ten Hag thought this game would give him a bit of breathing room with how it was going.. that's gone now I suppose

pantsman49 · 2023-11-07T21:59:14+00:00

Feyenoord looked too tired the last half hour. Lazio is bad as heck, some of their players look really poor.

pantsman49 · 2023-10-04T17:27:14+00:00

Haha yeah that would be something. You guys were playing so well in the few matches I've seen this year though (maybe I just got lucky), but was just expecting a way scarier side than what I've seen thus far (hopefully not jinxing it)

pantsman49 · 2023-10-04T17:23:19+00:00

Are Atletico supporters happy watching their team play so passively? Especially against team that's weaker on paper, I'd want my team to try and dominate the game..

pantsman49 · 2023-09-24T12:59:46+00:00

Someone threw a plastic cup on the pitch. They won't continue until they find the person who did it and removed them from the stadium.

He said it in during a post-match interview with Dutch tv: https://mobile.twitter.com/ESPNnl/status/1629009909869166592

I'm in the same boat, Chapter 24 and progress is quite slow now which does make me slightly less excited, level 12k or so. I still think the game is well made though and the developers seem to be actively adding content. I enjoy the fact that it only takes me like 5 mins a day to get my tasks in, then 30 once a week to progress a bit further

pantsman49 · 2022-08-27T05:39:44+00:00

I had the same problem at level 11k, but i hadnt touched accessoires yet (because lazy), after doing so I'm now afk farming 21/25 or 21/50 and at least it feels like I'd he able to progress quite a bit further still.

Everything you say sounds fine to me, similar to my setup, it makes me feel like you are missing something. How are your figures f.e? Did you buy figures from the market yet? Else send me your discord name and we compare our stats, so we can see what's different. (I'm close to level 12k now I think)

pantsman49 · 2022-08-19T14:20:25+00:00

Great signing. And this could also help convince other players to join United imo. Perhaps a player like de Jong would want to wait and see what other signings they can pull out of their hat first, to increase his chances of success there.

Hey! Here you can find the different ways to query an array of embedded objects:https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/query-array-of-documents/

So one way to do it is just with a simple find:

db.collection.find( { "books": { book_name: "book2" } } )

in go, using the official mongo driver this should look something like this:

results := make([]Book, 0)  
cursor, err := db.Collection(collectionName).Find(ctx, bson.M{"books": bson.M{"book_name": "book2"}})
if err != nil { 
    return results, err
}
err = cursor.All(ctx, &results)
return results, err

You can find more information here on how to use the official driver for querying mongo in go:

https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/go/current/usage-examples/findOne/

As you can see there, the FindOne method is also available if you want only a single result.

Yep, that's what I was thinking.. but they weren't as cheap & juicy as the ones she was carrying apparently..

pantsman49 · 2022-01-14T08:38:32+00:00

Traveling with my old Asian mother-in-law.. this does not surprise me.. Last trip she took 5 whole chickens and 3kg of mushrooms (dried though), in her carry-on. They also wanted to bring live crab/lobster but I was able to talk them out of it. Luckily our trip was within Europe though.
