Ahoy Captains ,
After a long time and since WG changed the way stats are generated for everyone , you all saw a great drop of your average XP.
The FR (First Ratings) was appeared to the WOWL Builds page after a long test with the help of u/Father_Mundy , you all know the current form and how it is evolved since then.
Now with the new stats and without the premium bonuses included , the average XP is now calculated to that formula (don't rush , its now yet released) . Currently im almost ready to release the version 2.0 and be able also to help WOWS Builds not to lose the XP tracking system that it was implemented because of the XP drop with some modifiers and provide the new ratings.
Saying this , i want some stats from some unique players , mainly CV players OR players that their Average XP is approaching the 2000 mark.
If you were contacted before by me , asking you stats , please i would be happy again to receive your stats as those first 150 people helped me build the base of that system . Its a critical mass that was selected carefully.
I know that many of us would like to say some factors and how those are involved into the FR but SOON im gonna have a big post here about it, analysing all the data that are involved and how those are generating the final number.
IF you are not a fan of this FR system , then please , forget my existence .
See you soon ! SOONtm

Greetings, dental professionals of Reddit!
I went online to research dental implants for a relative of mine. Both dental practices and the local dental school quoted us $600 per tooth for a Straumann implant, but we wanted to see if it was possible to import these implants for cheaper, since companies pay a higher import tax than locals importing for personal usage.
However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that literally nobody sells implants, or even gives you prices, if you aren't a dental practice or dental supply warehouse! Why is that? Is there a legal reason, or is it for commercial grounds? How can one price-shop for implants without factoring in the other expenses? It's odd that they don't even show up on the secondhand marketplace - on eBay, the only implants that do show up are from Israeli factory outlets purporting to sell them for $30-40, undercutting name-brand ones by Straumann and Nobel by huge margins. Where's the catch? Has anyone tried those ever? Are there cheaper implants that are not sketchy? And perhaps most perplexingly, why are those implants the only ones that show up on online marketplaces?

It's a weird request I know, but it was quite a good book.
All I remember from the general premise is that I believe the mc got bullied in his pack, ran away and became rogue. I know for sure it's not an alpha book but a beta book.
I do remember one specific scene though. There was like a pack war and the scene I remember has to do with the side characters. One of the side characters, he had just given birth to a kid before the war began so he was forced to hide with other women and the mc for protection, he then realised he doesn't have his kid with me so he leaves the safety place to get his kid, but in the process I think he got taken or the kid got taken or something.
I really don't remember much of this.
I do know there was another scene with the mc and his mate and they just did the dirty and one of the side characters made a joke that "they go at it like rabbits."
Honestly, if anyone does know the name to this book I would honestly be very surprised but also very grateful because it's not in my archive or any of my reading lists. If at most the author probably deleted it, but I doubt it because it had a good amount of views.

It’s scholarship season at Austin Community College District (ACC). Right now, students can apply now to be considered for 700+ scholarship opportunities. It takes one single application.
“Students face many roadblocks pursuing their dreams of higher education. Without financial assistance, many of our students would have to postpone or stop their goals altogether. Receiving a scholarship removes that financial burden and keeps students on track,” says ACC Chancellor Dr. Richard Rhodes. “ACC is committed to making sure college is something everyone can afford. I am so grateful for the generous support of our donors. Through their donations, we are able to provide millions of dollars in scholarships to our students.”
What you need to know:

• ACC’s one-time application automatically applies students to personalized opportunities based on financial need, academic success, heritage, and identity
• ACC’s scholarship application includes a short series of questions and one personal statement
• All ACC students are eligible to apply
• 1 in 4 applicants receives money for college
• Scholarships are the closest thing to free money and don’t have to be repaid
• Relieving financial stress with scholarships increases graduation expectation
• Scholarship money is your money to spend where you need it to reach your goals

Hear from students:
Jennifer Cook, ACC scholarship recipient: “Receiving my scholarship allowed me to pursue a passion of mine I didn’t know I had. I used my scholarship to pursue another degree, so I could go into my passion for social work. It gave me the confidence to keep going, apply for more money, and go to a four-year university that I never thought I could attend.”
Diana Gorostieta Martinez, ACC alumnae: “It was my goal to go to school, but one of the things that always held me back was the financial aspect. I am a first-generation student, and I am also a DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] recipient. There are so many different aspects and challenges that I have faced. Knowing that someone is out there and supporting me by providing some financial support inspires me to do better and pursue my goals.”
Diana Carpenter, ACC scholarship recipient: “Receiving a scholarship has made me feel a lot more open to possibilities in my life. It is not something that I thought would ever happen to me. I think receiving that scholarship was one of the first things that shifted my mindset about what I could actually receive and what opportunities I could take advantage of that could be a part of my life. It completely changed how I approached school, so there is no reason not to go for every opportunity presented to you.”
The priority deadline to apply for ACC scholarships is May 1. The average award per student is $2,500.

Started as Dyre "the Stranger," whole playthrough goes well so far. Khazaria collapsed pretty early which let me create Ruthenia in 898 with very little resistance, then I convert to Orthodoxy just for the RP (later I want to kidnap Ghengis Khan and release him on the condition that he converts to Orthodoxy). Dyre's son dies in mysterious circumstances after serving in the Varangian Guard but no big deal, grandson manages to conquer Novgorod, creates White Rus, Vladimir and manages to create the Tsardom of Russia in 944 before conquering Bjamaland in just a couple years. I end up with Galicia-Volhynia at some point too
Faster forward a few years, Tsar Dyre the I passes away peacefully to give the Russian throne to his son, Dyre II. Dyre II has the shy trait which is rough, but he has a good intrigue education so I figured I'd keep things low-key and murder my way into some favorable positions.
I take a look at the Byzantines, and notice the Emperor only has three daughters and a dead wife. The oldest and youngest are already married, so no big deal, I'll just marry my heir to the middle daughter and murder the eldest before she can push out a kid. After the betrothal, I get the court event with my heir (ALSO named Dyre) begging me to annul the betrothal because they hate each other's guts. I deny, thinking it won't be a big deal. I just really want them to have a kid that'll inherit both Russia and the Byzantine Empire.
Well, fast forward a bit, I subjugate Hungary to prepare the connect both Empires by land, and take a look at the newlyweds to see how it's going. Their newborn is Slow. Whatever, two Empire titles are worth it.
I just keep vibing, trying not to die of shyness (I inherited the Empire with Reclusive and Confider already which aren't too bad) while accumulating a pile of gold for my heir. I take another look at my heir and hoo boy. Remember how my heir and his fiancee (now wife) hated each other in their youth? Well turns out their marriage is going pretty nicely. You know, the way a car hydroplanes and crashes into a school bus nicely.
Somehow, my daughter-in-law picked up both drunkard and rakish, the latter of which I assume is where both she and my son got lover's pox. Thanks to the lover's pox, my son is now "rejected from the marriage bed," preventing from having kids again, ever. So my now middle-aged heir is a herpes-ridden cuck with astoundingly shitty stats and stupid son. But hey, at least my grandson will inherit a couple of really nice Empires, right? Can't look a gift heir in the mouth.
WELL just a couple years later after that drama, one of my of my other sons decides to have a gamer moment and outright murder my now 8-year-old grandson. He even lacks the subtlety to avoid getting caught.
I spent almost 30 years grooming, blackmailing agents, murdering, bribing, and generally sleazing my Dynasty's way into two Empires. Only to have one rogue son ruin all of it. Whatever, it's only 986, still plenty of more disasterpieces to go

I want to install a specific version of node 18.x and make it available in my devShell. The reason I need this is that `nodejs-slim-18_x` is an older version of 18 and I would like to be on the later version.
This code "works" but the version is not available in the shell.
This is what I get when I run which node:
/etc/profiles/per-use{my user}/bin/node
So I get the version of node from my dotfiles, not the one installed.
Would appreciate any help and direction.
Thanks in advance

As we all know, the world of cryptocurrency can be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. Right now we're on the up and up but tomorrow we can be plummeting into the abyss of a bear market. Thats what makes this space so fun right.....right?
That's why I want to ask you guys: what is your best or worst performing asset in your portfolio? And perhaps more importantly, what lessons have you learned from that experience?
For me, my best performing asset has been good old Bitcoin. Despite the ups and downs, it's remained a reliable performer in my portfolio. Plus, I love the fact that it's the OG of crypto, and it's always exciting to see how it will continue to evolve over time. Lesson learned: In the long run 'ol reliable is still king.
As for my worst performing asset, well, let's just say it's a bit of a sore spot. I won't name names (cough, cough, Dogecoin), but let's just say I got caught up in the hype and didn't do my due diligence. Lesson learned, folks. Always do your research before jumping into a new asset.
So, what about you? What's your best performing asset and how did you come to invest in it? And on the flip side, what's your worst performing asset and how did you handle it? Let's share our stories and celebrate or have a little chuckle at our own expense.

i decided i no longer love them.
i'm in northern canada. been living in yurts for a few winters now (not summers, which is probably when they're nicer for this climate!). renting, since i made sure to experience them extensively before getting my own. it's been mild this month, -20s to just around freezing kind of temps, much colder in the deeper winter periods.
i decided i don't like yurts anymore because of my broken sleep. the yurt isn't mine, mind you--i'd have more insulation in this one if it were--but i'm just plain tired of getting up to tend the fire in the night, else risk the pain of getting bone-chilled. don't get me wrong, i adore tending fires in the DAY. i'm just becoming a bit of a comfort lover! sort of, i mean, i don't ask for much. i do actually like when i wake up to just a mildly cold yurt. being warm and toasty under covers while breathing -5c air is kind of lovely to me. i'm a hide tanner and my hides are pretty good. but i'm not a human that generates a lot of heat on my own. and i haaate waking up genuinely COLD, with my hips all stiff and tight (i'm not even old!). and i hate sleep disruptions just as much.
my new thought is, i want a wood stove in a natural building, with walls that retain the warmth and radiate it back to me. and sure, yes, i'll live outside in a canvas tent or in just my sleeping bag in the warmer half of the year, to get my close-to-land fix. i am not a reindeer, and if i've got to have walls at all, they've got to be good at their job, darnit!
i'm also becoming very wary of the vinyl & other artificial materials used in the wall materials of most commercially produced yurts. i don't want to be breathing in the stuff they give off. further, cotton canvas for a structure that's standing in one place medium- or long-term just isn't suitable for this part of the world. our winters are more wet and humid. you will notice, these aspects are actually those that have been changed from the original, traditional geyurt context. who'd have thought?
also, a last note----some municipalities more south of me have absolutely stupid new rules now re: wood stove size relative to yurt size. the dummies don't realize how quickly even insulated yurts can lose heat, and they think the larger stoves are a fire hazard. bah. they have obviously never been inside on in any sustained period of -30s or colder.
so this is where i stand. i thought i would write this out so that it can help someone out. the idea of yurts as affordable, easy-to-assemble housing is a good one, but it may not work for your context. i was as set on them as anyone could be, even after my first winter. i know a few folks around here who also live in them. now, three winters in? i'm a little tired. i want a little more comfort after all. haha!

Ayesha Erotica and Slayyyter are both musicians who have gained popularity in the internet age for their unique sound and style. While they share some similarities, there are also notable differences between the two artists. Ayesha Erotica, also known as Ayesha Nicole Smith, is an American musician and social media personality. She gained a following in the late 2000s with her self-produced electronic pop music and provocative image. Her music is characterized by heavily processed vocals, glitchy beats, and sexually explicit lyrics. Ayesha Erotica's music often incorporates elements of trap, bubblegum pop, and EDM. Slayyyter, on the other hand, is the stage name of American musician Catherine Slater. She first gained attention in 2018 with her debut single "BFF", which quickly went viral on social media. Slayyyter's music is also heavily influenced by electronic pop, but it has a more polished, modern sound than Ayesha Erotica's music. Her songs are characterized by catchy hooks, glossy production, and relatable lyrics about love, sex, and partying. Slayyyter has released two mixtapes, "Slayyyter" and "Troubled Paradise", which have received critical acclaim and helped her gain a devoted fanbase. While both Ayesha Erotica and Slayyyter create electronic pop music with sexually charged lyrics, there are several key differences between them. Ayesha Erotica's music is more experimental and abrasive, with a DIY aesthetic that reflects her outsider status. Slayyyter's music, by contrast, is more polished and commercial, with a focus on catchy hooks and radio-friendly production. Ayesha Erotica also has a more provocative image, often wearing revealing clothing and using provocative poses in her social media posts. Slayyyter's image is more subdued, with a focus on retro fashion and 90s nostalgia. In conclusion, Ayesha Erotica and Slayyyter are both talented musicians who have gained a following for their unique style and sound. While they share some similarities, they also have notable differences in terms of their music and image. Ultimately, the choice between Ayesha Erotica and Slayyyter comes down to personal taste, and both artists have something to offer for fans of electronic pop music.

This applies for the first block in the champo of 6 rounds
​
The following players wont be available for the start of the season:
Will Jacks was one of surrey's most important players in the last season scoring [email protected] in the championship, striking at 77 and was also hugely important opening in the blast which got him an ipl deal and England debuts in all three formats, county fans will never forget his demolishing of simon harmer to save the match against Essex. He is injured and out of the ipl, unavailable.
Sam Curran has regained his ipl deal after a great winter for england and reinventing himself as a death bowler and strong hitter, he played most of the blast as well as 5 champo matches, scoring 454 runs @ 75 with a strike rate of 79 including his maiden century in senior cricket. He'll be missed as he goes off to india.
Reece Topley also has his first ipl deal, he only played 3 matches last season taking [email protected] but with a much greater career record its another hit to the depth. He'll be much more important in the blast where he'll be available.
Tom Curran is currently injured and also has left red ball cricket for the time being, got his maiden century at Northampton after working on his batting during his injury.
​
The following players didn't play a first class match in 2022 or since then, some will be available but unlikely to be selected:
Laurie Evans hasn't played any cricket recorded on cricinfo since the hundred and hasn't played first class in a few years now as he comes to the end of his career.
Jason Roy after being dropped from the england t20 side wasn't able to retain his form in that format but did score an incredible 145* (63) for quetta in the psl and has scored 2 odi centuries from 9 innings in the winter, his last first class match was in 2020 but without an ipl deal or much england selection he may return to first class cricket.
Chris Jordan's last first class match was in 2019 for sussex, I don't think first class is included in his surrey contract.
Sunil Narine is T20 only.
Matthew Dunn only managed to get into the heavily weakened one day side in 2021.
Nick KImber only featured in the one day cup and is yet to make his first class debut, though the bowling all rounder could this season.
Josh Blake is surrey's third choice keeper and is yet to make an appearance outside the one day cup, may do if Jamie Smith is called up to the england side or is injured.
​
The following players are available and hasn't played a cricinfo recorded match since last summer:
Connor Mckerr played three FC matches for surrey in 2022, finding it hard to nail down a spot there so went on loan to kent at the end of the season for game time, he took 8 wickets in those 5 matches.
Dan worral was a key part of surreys championship success since switching his allegiance to england and moving to south london, in 9 matches he took 39 wickets at 24 with an economy below 2. He'll be very important this season.
Ben Geddes played three first class matches in his second season of senior cricket, captaining the youthful one day side and scoring 176 runs @ 44 including his second FC century.
Jordan Clark played 11 games in the championship and was incredibly important though he is most remembered for his roses hattrick of williamson, bairstow and root. He scored 481 runs at 43 and took 30 wickets @ 35.
Rory Burns, the captain leader legend won his second championship as skipper averaging 40 with 3 hundreds and was one of just 3 players to play every game, the reliable top order alongside him of Amla and Patel. He scored the winnings runs of the championship.
Dan Moriarty appeared just once last season as a victim of Batty's part time spin approach, he was much more important in the blast and got a 100 gig, I imagine that's where his career is going.
James Taylor played the first three games of the season taking 4 wickets but got an injury, he hasn't played since and I'm unaware of his progress, he may still not be available.
Ryan Patel nailed down his spot in the surrey side playing all 14 games and averaged 35 opening the batting and his medium pace entertained some fans at the oval greatly. He also earned a spot in the county select xi to face the kiwis.
Nico Reifer made his first class debut against the sri lankan development xi scoring 68, he's from barbados and the cousin of the West indian international of the same name. I imagine he'll earn a few more appearances this season.
Nathan Barnwell also made his first class debut against the SLCDXI but I imagine he will struggle for appearances.
Tom Lawes' debut season in senior cricket was really impressive, playing 6 championship games taking 18 wickets at 22 and a valuable [email protected] runs will see him play quite a few surrey matches this season as he also made his blast and one day cup debuts.
Cameron Steel, Will Jacks' understudy bowled well when used in his 5 championship matches after signing for the club, taking [email protected] but his batting wasn't up to his usual standard with a high score of 48, he was born in the US so I wonder if they've tried to sign him.
Dom Sibley resigned from warwickshire, he played well there scoring [email protected] and upping his strike rate to a mighty 42, his return should really help the top order with Amla's retirement.
Amar Virdi's only first class appearances was for somerset on loan where he went wicketless, despite lions appearances and an incredible record he's unwanted mostly by surrey, having not made a t20 appearance in his career. I think he could likely move for more matches.
​
The following players are available for the first block and have been playing other matches recorded by cricinfo in the winter:
Ben Foakes played 3 test matches scoring 2 fifties, batting well and keeping superbly as usual, when england doesn't take him i imagine he'll be first choice for surrey in the summer after scoring [email protected] in the championship last summer in 9 appearances.
Jamie Smith, second choice keeper who played superbly in his 8 matches, scoring [email protected] including a 234* at bristol on a pitch ollie pope called "a bit flat". He played 4 lions matches in the winter, scoring a century in a first class match at galle, a 50 against the sri lankan presidents xi and some top keeping.
Ollie Pope, invincible at the oval scored [email protected] in his 8 championship matches striking at 66 with 2 run a ball centuries at the oval. He scored 108 in Rawlapindi and 60 in multan whilst stepping in behind the stumps for an ill Ben Foakes. He scored 115 across 4 innings in the test in new zealand and played 2 franchise matches for the first time in his career for the gulf giants scoring 18 runs in 2 innings.
Angus Atkinson was extremely important in the blast for surrey and in the championship bowled very well in the 4 matches he was included in taking 13 wickets @ 28 and will build on those this summer I'm sure. He also had his first franchise winter at 24 years old, playing 10 of the desert vipers 12 games, taking 9 wickets with an economy of 7.8 and was unused by islamabad united in the psl.
Kemar Roach will return for the first block after proving incredible in his 2 previous seasons at the oval with 25 wickets @ 26 in his seven games last season. He played 4 tests in the winter taking 9 wickets including a devastating fifer at centurion.
Sean Abott makes his return to surrey, at time of writing he's currently bowling at chennai, playing well in this series in his international return in the last year. Played well in all three formats domestically including 21 wickets @ 29 in the sheffield shield for new south wales.
Jamie overton, plagued by injury played 1 match in the winter in a lions match in abu dhabi. Last season he played 10 games with his performances earning him a test debut with 34 wickets @ 25 and 355 runs at 29.

Thats your lot

I have tried multiple ways to create this. I can't seem to get it right or find a solution. This is on an Ubuntu 22.04 Server. Here are two attempts:

This creates the following error:

This was successful but when I go to start the container the following error emerges:

I want to have a host file system represented in the container with Read/Write capacity. I also need it to be on an independent IP because of routing protocols for that particular container.

So this will be VERY short. I don’t want to keep making edits on the original post. August (yay I can finally stop typing bf) and I did our usual thing. He got ready and I made coffee. Iced caramel macchiato with soy for me and drip coffee with whole milk for him along with the last Costco cheese danish. I obviously didn’t want to open that can of worms before it was even daylight out and he was putting on his socks & shoes to get out the door. I said verbatim “ when you get home I want to talk about our trip. Please get home at a decent hour, no later than 7.” And he kinda had a mild deer in headlights kinda look. He agreed to be home by then. He gave me a kiss and left.
Did I do this right? 🤔

I'm a long-time player, though not a particularly good one. Sometimes, I find myself on a map and an event spawns. If no one else is around, I'll pop a mentor tag to let people know, hey, there's an event over here! I might also do the same if I'm working on a bounty and I'm facing a tough boss that I'm gonna need a little help on. Despite the word "Mentor" in the tag's name, there usually isn't much mentoring going on - it's just a rally flag. Then the event passes, I drop the tag and everyone goes their merry way.
I also have a Commander's tag, too, but I rarely use it. In my mind, popping a Commander's tag is a commitment. It says you are going to lead a train for a while, explain the meta to noobies, and generally try to keep the squad together and busy for an extended period of time.
Is that how they are generally used by the community?

Intro
Hey my name's David or Dave or Davie. No difference to me. I'm looking for connections really(Leading to something deeper is really awesome but I don't have expectations), I have the next two days off someone to just chat with would be nice or to watch a movie or some anime with. Specifically tonight I'm off work @ 1am(I'm going to the hospital this morning) and I have a desire to re-watch spice and wolf so if you're down :).
I'm working through some writing about language as a means of communication. The core thoughts are around - how it(language) doesen't accurately portray what we may try to explain or relate to others and how I often find myself feeling as if I'm not actually having conversations with people.(Often times it feels like you're not connecting, it's two people going through their dialogue tree) I believe there are a handful of people on earth that you'll be able to share deeper connections with despite how flawed language is as a medium to communicate and I'd love for this post to be a means to meet someone like that.
I'm going to be moving to quebec shortly. I've contemplated a few locations in Canada. I'm from the GTHA but I think the challenge of being in an environment where I won't only be socially isolated but I'll be isolated with language will either cause my brain to go boom or force me to become more of the person I want to be. I love the culture compared to a lot of other places in Canada(having travelled relatively minimally though). I love the people even though it felt like sometimes they didn't like me. And I plan on assimilating to the culture prior to the move and making sure I do what I have to when I get there to not just be the ontario kid moving there. Getting to know someone from Quebec who might have some similar interests would be awesome but this post isn't limited to that.
Goals for the post or what I'm looking for
A connection with anyone really. I feel pretty existentially lonely, and I value things that take that feeling away from me. Ultimately I don't know if a relationship will stem from anything(I don't do the online dating thing so we'd have to see) but getting to know people and seeing where those connections lead is valuable to me. I touched on other things in the introduction but more specifically about the individuals I'm looking for... I like chatting with people who have opinions, and who aren't too judgmental. The things you hate the most about yourself I'll tend to find the best beautiful or interesting. If you play vidya that's awesome because chatting gaming maybe learning some language would be a pretty amazing.
About me
People care about physicals so I'll get that out. (Pictures are newest to oldest) 6'2 - 6'3, dad bodish now but won't be for long. Still on the physical side I play basketball and walk way too much. Outside of that I've lived a life I think most movie producers would scratch out because it seems too unrealistic. There's a lot of things I'm processing in my trauma departments and I'm working towards being the best person I think I can be. I've seen myself fail there and I don't intend on that becoming a pattern going forward.
I enjoy film and music. Mathrock midwest emo, rap are kind of my go tos. I'm big into Nolan films or things that make you think. I write poetry and music. I just wrote a small book ish thing that's kind of about the last 10 years of my life that I'm pretty proud of. I just started to get back into anime, Vinland saga was kinda my gateway to starting again and if someone has recommendations or is down to watching something with me I'd love to.
I don't drink much. I plan on reducing that to very rarely going forward. I don't smoke weed often but I don't mind people who do(I don't mind being around alcohol either). Mushrooms are amazing but again a pretty once in a while thing for me.
I've had a really shit start to the year. Got really sick in December, broke my ribs aand then got pneumonia because broken ribs + not moving. Lost a close friend recently(OD'd) and now my mother(who I'm not close with) has cancer and I don't think she's going to make it. I intend on turning the year around though but it's been a rough start to it.
Tell me about yourself ? What's your favorite meal ? Favorite memory ? Let's play like word association or something I don't know.
I look forward to maybe hearing from you.
Sincerely,
David
