Title: Try Guys: Without a Recipe - Pierogi Showdown! (Feat. Rosanna Pansino & Johnny Cakes)
INTRODUCTION:
[EUGENE, KEITH, ZACH, and NED enter the set, each wearing a different color apron.]
EUGENE: Hey, everyone! Welcome back to another episode of "Try Guys: Without a Recipe!"
NED: Today, we're gonna be making pierogi!
ZACH: And we're so excited to have two incredible guest judges with us today: Rosanna Pansino and Johnny Cakes!
[ROSANNA and JOHNNY enter, waving and smiling at the camera. ARIEL follows.]
ROSANNA: Thanks for having us! I can't wait to see what kind of pierogi creations you guys come up with.
JOHNNY: I'm excited to taste some delicious - or maybe not so delicious - pierogi.
KEITH: Well, let's get started!
COOKING SEGMENT:
[EUGENE, KEITH, ZACH, and NED split up to their respective cooking stations, each with ingredients and tools laid out.]
ZACH: So, uh, what's a pierogi?
NED: It's a delicious Polish dumpling, typically filled with ingredients like potatoes, cheese, and onions. But we can get creative with our fillings!
ZACH: Growing up, my babcia was always cooking up a storm in the kitchen. She was an incredible cook and had a real talent for making traditional Jewish and Polish dishes.
But my absolute favorite thing that she made was pierogi. Her pierogi were a thing of beauty - perfectly cooked dough filled with savory mashed potatoes, caramelized onions, and just a hint of garlic.
I have such fond memories of sitting around the table with my family, eagerly waiting for my babcia to serve up her delicious pierogi. It was a real treat and something I looked forward to every time we visited.
EUGENE: Sounds delicious! Let's do this.
JOHNNY: You know, now that you mention it, I actually have had some pretty amazing pierogi in the past. One of my favorite local restaurants serves up these incredible potato and cheese pierogi, and I've been thinking about incorporating those flavors into a cake somehow.
KEITH: So for me, the perfect pierogi filling has to be something with a lot of flavor and a little bit of spice. That's why I love filling my pierogi with nacho-inspired ingredients like cheese, jalapenos, and seasoned ground beef.
ARIEL: (smiling) I have to admit, Keith's nacho pierogi are pretty delicious. But for me, the perfect pierogi filling has to be something fresh and flavorful, like avocado or guacamole.
KEITH: Avocado? In a pierogi? (laughs) I don't know about that, Ariel. That seems like a pretty unconventional choice.
ARIEL: (laughing) Hey, I like to think outside the box when it comes to cooking. And I think avocado adds a really nice creaminess and freshness to pierogi.
KEITH: Well, I have to admit, that does sound pretty good. Maybe we should do a taste test and see whose filling reigns supreme.
[The Try Guys start cooking, with occasional tips and encouragement from ROSANNA and JOHNNY. The camera cuts between them as they work on their pierogi, each following their own intuition and knowledge.]
[Cut to a shot of EUGENE waving at the camera]
Hey everyone, it's Eugene here, and today I'm going to show you how to make a delicious fusion dish - Texan-Asian pierogi! These dumplings are stuffed with a mixture of mashed potatoes, ground beef, and Asian spices, and they're guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.
INGREDIENTS:
For this recipe, you'll need:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1/4 lb ground beef
  • 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: First, let's make the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually pour in the hot water while stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Step 2: While the dough is resting, let's prepare the filling. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled. Add the mashed potatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Cook for a few more minutes until the filling is well combined and fragrant. Remove the filling from heat and let it cool.
Step 3: Roll out the pierogi dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut circles out of the dough.
Step 4: Place a small amount of the filling on each dough circle, then fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal the pierogi.
Step 5: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the pierogi into the water and cook for about 5 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Step 6: Once the pierogi are cooked, remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or toppings, such as sour cream or hot sauce.
OUTRO:
And that's it, folks - Texan-Asian pierogi that are easy to make and super tasty! Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think. Thanks for watching! First of all, let's establish that Keith absolutely hates coriander. He thinks it tastes like soap and can't stand the flavor in any dish.
KEITH: Yeah, it's just not my thing. I know a lot of people love it, but I just can't get on board.
EUGENE: On the other hand, I absolutely love coriander. I think it adds a fresh, citrusy flavor to dishes and can really elevate the taste profile. I don't understand how anyone could hate coriander. It's one of my favorite herbs! Despite our differing opinions on coriander, we still respect each other's tastes and preferences in the kitchen.
KEITH: Yeah, we may not see eye to eye on coriander, but that's what makes cooking together so much fun. We can still create delicious dishes even if we have different opinions on certain ingredients.
EUGENE: And who knows, maybe one day I'll convince Keith to give coriander another chance.
[Cut to a shot of NED and ARIEL waving at the camera]
Hey guys, it's Ned from The Try Guys, and today I'm excited to share with you a delicious fusion recipe that my wife and I came up with - Italian-inspired macho pierogi! These pierogi are filled with a meaty mixture of sausage, ground beef, and spinach, and they're topped with a zesty tomato sauce and parmesan cheese. Trust me, you're going to love them. In fact, many of the recipes I create are influenced by my Italian heritage, even if they're not strictly Italian dishes. For example, my Italian-inspired macho pierogi recipe features a filling of Italian sausage, spinach, and ricotta cheese, all wrapped up in a delicious pierogi dough.
And my Tuscan-inspired chicken and white bean soup is another example of how I incorporate Italian flavors and ingredients into my cooking. So as you can see, my Italian heritage continues to be a major source of inspiration for me in the kitchen. I'm proud of my roots and the culinary traditions that have been passed down through my family, and I look forward to continuing to explore and experiment with Italian-inspired recipes in the future.
INGREDIENTS:
For this recipe, you'll need:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1/2 lb sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 can of tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (for topping)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Start by making the pierogi dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually pour in the hot water while stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Step 2: While the dough is resting, let's prepare the filling. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage and ground beef until browned and crumbled. Add the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes until the filling is well combined and fragrant. Remove the filling from heat and let it cool.
Step 3: Roll out the pierogi dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut circles out of the dough.
Step 4: Place a small amount of the filling on each dough circle, then fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal the pierogi.
Step 5: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the pierogi into the water and cook for about 5 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Step 6: In a separate saucepan, heat the tomato sauce over medium heat until it's warm. Serve the pierogi hot with a generous spoonful of tomato sauce on top and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese.
OUTRO:
And that's it, guys - Italian-inspired macho pierogi that are easy to make and absolutely delicious. Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think. Thanks for watching!
[Cut to a shot of ZACH waving at the camera]
Hey, it's Zach from The Try Guys, and today I'm going to show you how to make a delicious vegan twist on a classic dish - Reuben pierogi! These pierogi are filled with a savory blend of sauerkraut, tofu, and vegan cheese, and they're perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy a plant-based version of this favorite comfort food.
INGREDIENTS:
For this recipe, you'll need:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 lb firm tofu, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup vegan cheese shreds
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter or margarine
  • Thousand Island dressing, for serving
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Start by making the pierogi dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually pour in the hot water while stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Step 2: While the dough is resting, let's prepare the filling. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sauerkraut for a few minutes until lightly browned. Add the crumbled tofu, vegan cheese shreds, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes until the filling is well combined and fragrant. Remove the filling from heat and let it cool.
Step 3: Roll out the pierogi dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut circles out of the dough.
Step 4: Place a small amount of the filling on each dough circle, then fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal the pierogi.
Step 5: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the pierogi into the water and cook for about 5 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Step 6: In a separate saucepan, melt the vegan butter or margarine over low heat. Serve the pierogi hot with a generous drizzle of melted vegan butter or margarine and a dollop of Thousand Island dressing on top.
OUTRO:
And that's it, guys - vegan Reuben pierogi that are easy to make and full of flavor! Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think. Thanks for watching!
NED: In my opinion, the best flour to use for pierogi is all-purpose flour. It gives the dough a nice, soft texture and helps it hold together well.
ZACH: (laughs) Are you kidding me? All-purpose flour is way too basic for pierogi. You need something with a little more substance, like bread flour or even rye flour.
NED: (laughs) Bread flour? That's just going to make the dough too tough and chewy. And rye flour? Come on, Zach, that's not even traditional pierogi flour.
ZACH: Hey, I'm all about innovation and pushing the boundaries of tradition. Plus, I think the heartiness of rye flour would really complement a savory pierogi filling.
NED: (skeptical) I don't know, man. I just think all-purpose flour is the way to go. It's tried and true.
ZACH: (smiling) Well, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, Ned.
[Cut to a shot of KEITH and his DADDY waving at the camera]
Hey everyone, it's Keith from The Try Guys, and today I'm excited to share a recipe that's close to my heart - Tennessee-inspired Midwest-style pierogi!

OUTRO:
And there you have it - Tennessee-inspired Midwest-style pierogi that are easy to make and full of flavor. This recipe has been passed down through my family and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Thanks for watching!
[Cut to ROSANNA and ARIEL smiling at the camera]
ROSANNA: Honestly, all of The Try Guys are pretty hilarious in the kitchen. But if I had to pick one, I would say that Keith always makes me laugh with his cooking.
ARIEL: (smiling) Keith, huh? What is it about his cooking that's so funny to you?
ROSANNA: Well, Keith has this way of making even the most mundane cooking tasks seem like a comedic performance. He's always cracking jokes and doing silly things, and it just makes the whole cooking experience so much more fun and lighthearted.
[Cut to a shot of ROSANNA and JOHNNY aitting at a judging table]
Hey everyone, it's Rosanna Pansino and Johnny Cakes, and we're here to judge a pierogi cook-off between the Try Guys! Each of them has made a unique and delicious pierogi recipe, and we're excited to taste and see which one comes out on top. Let's get started!
TASTING:
ROSANNA: Alright, let's start with Ned's Italian-inspired macho pierogi. I really like the flavors in this one, especially the sausage and spinach. The dough is also cooked perfectly.
JOHNNY: I agree, the filling is very hearty and meaty. The only thing I'm missing here is a little bit of acidity or brightness in the dish.
Now, let's talk specifically about pierogi illusion cakes. These cakes are meant to look like a giant pierogi, complete with a doughy exterior and savory filling. But in order to achieve this illusion, bakers have to be incredibly skilled and creative.
First, they have to figure out how to create a realistic-looking dough exterior that's both sturdy enough to hold its shape and delicious enough to eat. This usually involves using a combination of fondant, modeling chocolate, and other sculpting materials.
Next, they have to create a filling that not only looks like the real thing, but also tastes great. This might involve using different flavors and textures to mimic the taste and mouthfeel of a traditional pierogi filling.
Finally, bakers have to assemble everything together in a way that creates a cohesive and convincing illusion. This often involves careful layering and shaping of the cake, as well as precise decorating techniques to create realistic details like crimped edges and toppings.
So as you can see, making an illusion cake that looks like a pierogi is no easy feat. It takes a lot of skill, creativity, and patience to bring this type of cake to life. But for those who are up for the challenge, the end result can be truly magical and memorable.
ROSANNA: Now let's try Zach's vegan Reuben pierogi. This is definitely an interesting combination of flavors, but it really works! The sauerkraut and vegan cheese complement each other well, and the pierogi itself is cooked perfectly.
But I do have one concern - the pierogi dough is undercooked. It's still a bit doughy and not quite fully cooked through.
ZACH: What? No way! I cooked them for the right amount of time.
ROSANNA: I don't think they're quite done. The dough should be cooked all the way through and slightly crispy on the outside.
ZACH: I disagree, I think they're perfect. I like my pierogi a little bit doughy in the middle.
ROSANNA: Well, I appreciate your opinion, but as someone who's been cooking for a long time, I have to say that these pierogi could use a little bit more time in the pot.
JOHNNY: I really like the idea of a vegan Reuben, and the pierogi dough is spot on. The filling is really creative and the thousand island dressing on top is the perfect touch.
ROSANNA: And finally, we have Eugene's Texan-Asian pierogi. Wow, these are amazing! The beef and potato filling is so flavorful, and the pierogi dough is cooked perfectly.
KEITH: So Rosanna, we wanted to ask you a question - which Try Guys video is your favorite?
ROSANNA: Oh wow, that's a tough one! There are so many great Try Guys videos to choose from. But if I had to pick just one, I would have to say the "Eugene Ranks Every Boy Band Ever" video.
KEITH: (laughs) That's a good one! Why do you love that video in particular?
ROSANNA: Well, first of all, I'm a huge fan of boy bands, so it was really fun to see Eugene ranking all of them. But beyond that, I just think it's a really well-made and entertaining video. It's funny, informative, and has a great energy to it.
JOHNNY: I really like the Asian-inspired spices in this pierogi, and the green onions add a nice pop of color and flavor. The filling is also well balanced and not too heavy.
RESULTS:
ROSANNA: Alright, it's time to pick a winner. While all of these pierogi were delicious, we have to choose one. And the winner is...Eugene's Texan-Asian pierogi!
JOHNNY: Eugene's pierogi really stood out to us with its unique flavors and expertly cooked dough. Great job, Eugene!
ROSANNA: Congratulations, Eugene! You are the pierogi champion of this cook-off.
EUGENE: Thank you, guys! I'm honored to have won. And thanks to my Try Guys for putting up some fierce competition. Growing up, I spent a lot of time hiding parts of myself from the world, including my sexuality. It was a challenging and often isolating experience, but it also taught me how to be resourceful and creative in unexpected ways. I think this same sense of daring and creativity has carried over into my cooking style. When I'm in the kitchen, I'm not afraid to take risks and try new things, even if it means stepping outside of my comfort zone or breaking with tradition. Whether I'm experimenting with unexpected flavor combinations or creating fusion dishes that blend different cultural influences, I always try to bring a sense of fearlessness and innovation to my cooking.
KEITH: So Johnny, we all know that you're an incredibly talented baker and cake decorator. I'm curious - have you ever made an illusion cake that's filled with something unexpected, like pierogi?
JOHNNY: (laughs) That's a great question, Keith. And actually, I have made some pretty wild illusion cakes in my time. But I have to admit, I've never thought to fill a cake with pierogi.
KEITH: (laughs) Well, you should try it sometime! I bet you could come up with some really creative and delicious ideas.
OUTRO:
And that's it, folks! Thanks for watching us judge the Try Guys' pierogi recipes. Make sure to try these out for yourself and let us know which one is your favorite.

2023.03.26 20:43 cagatay14 Should I Finish The Odin Project Before Exploring Other Programming Topics?

TLDR; the title
Started learning two months ago with no prior experience, I just completed CS50 and fell in love with everything about programming. Now starting the odin project, but while taking CS50 I started a bucketlist of sorts, interesting topics I have heard along the way that I will look into at some point. However, I am not sure if I should just focus on TOP or go half and half and try other things as well. Here's the list:
Mind you that I dont even have an idea of what most them are, I just gathered the things I dont know or want to explore later. Moreover I also have a sizable list of books (Clean Code, Grokking Algorithms etc) and other stuff other than the list.
I think TOP will have a dedicated section for OOP, and learnprogramming FAQ tells me that I should probably stick to a single language as a beginner, so data science and game dev will need languages other than JS. But FOMO hits hard as "what if I find out a year later that data science/game dev etc. really clicks for me and I somewhat wasted my time focusing solely on web and never tried other things"
Also I dont know if I am "ready" for some of these. Like will learning data structures or deployment later rather than now will benefit me more as I will better understand where and when I need them?
So my question in the end is should I split my daily studies to 2 hours of TOP and 2 hours of other topics or focus solely for 4 hours on TOP and when I have a solid foundation of full stack move on to other domains?

2023.03.26 20:36 tommybuoy PNW One Ski Quiver

Looking to get some final input on a one ski quiver for the PNW. I’m 6’-1”, 190 lb. Mt. Bachelor is my home mountain and I ski 20-25 days a season. On piste 80%, off piste 20%. I’d say I’m intermediate-advanced (blues and single blacks, just finishing my 2nd season of skiing). I’m looking for a setup I can grow into a bit, and something that’s more on the flexible / playful end of the spectrum rather than the stiff end. I’m hoping to progress more in the bumps and trees next season.
These are the options I’m currently looking at. Let me know your thoughts.

2023.03.26 20:35 Prestigious_Ad_9144 Im a SDE with 2 years exp. I majorly work with flutter and some minor AWS lambdas. What should I be learning next to up-skill.

So I currently work as a mobile developer and i also dabble a bit with server less functions and all that. What should i be leaning next to up-skill and land a better package.
Off the top of my head i can think of: - React native - Swift UI - Cloud computing - Java spring boot - Node js, express js
Im very confused rn about which one to learn first.

2023.03.26 20:32 ricardo_mugas Introducing Indie Oasis - A Community for Indie Makers

Business Idea Guidance.
[email protected] I have a business idea. I want to you to act as a CEO, I will give you the idea and I want that you tell me what to do to achieve it ok? I ts going to be dividided in 3 texts: First : the problem; second: the condition for the idea to become a product; third: the idea. is that ok?
As an AI language model, I can certainly provide you with guidance and advice on your business idea. However, please note that I cannot act as a CEO or make decisions on your behalf. I can only provide you with information and suggestions based on the data and trends available. Additionally, please keep in mind that any decisions or actions you take based on my advice are solely your responsibility. With that said, please go ahead and share your business idea with me.
[email protected] Problem: There are many indie hackers, solopreneurs on the world,launching their product and service. But now is bad for you to advertise your product for example in Reddit as it's considered Spam, and in twitter you are lost with the people that have a lot of followers so your tweet doesnt even show up because the algorithm doesnt want. But still your product might be good and and there might be people with a lot of followers and/or money that will be interesting in your product/service. So how you make your voice/product/service be heard. That is the problem. Understood?
Yes, I understand the problem you are trying to solve. It can be challenging for indie hackers and solopreneurs to get their products and services noticed in a crowded marketplace where traditional advertising methods may not work effectively. However, there are still ways to reach your target audience and make your voice heard.
Before we discuss potential solutions, it's important to define the conditions necessary for your idea to become a successful product. Could you please share those with me? Once we establish the conditions, we can then delve into potential solutions for marketing and promoting your product.
[email protected] Yes now the conditions: 1.- I have a day time job so not much free time. Let's say one hour per week around maybe 2 2- No money to invest. I want to realease some type of MVP with zero investment that I could see if it works or not 3.-Also needs to be realeased in 2 weeks top as I don't want to spent much time with something that might not work. 4. The idea is that will be profitable, in same shape or form. 5- I have a premium account with webflow, notion and carrd so we can take use of that. Of course we can use other tools as long we can make it with a free version. 6- Think out of the box. Do we need to build something, or reuse something that already exists for example. Or like use part of reddit. 7- When you are going to share your toughts and what to do, keep it simple. For example: Landing page - I just use a Carrd template and change text for example. Focus on the goal. ok? Next I will share the idea is that ok
Thank you for providing those conditions. I will keep them in mind as we discuss potential solutions. Please go ahead and share your idea, and I will provide feedback and suggestions.
[email protected] Ok So the idea will be to create some kinda of community/ app/ website that would work almost as a football league. When you play in the first division, you are not playing with teams from the third division. Is just not fair. So why my tweet or divulgation should be promoted on the same space as someone that has thousand of followers?
So this community would be created in "divisions". Those division will be based in real data: twitter followers and/or revenue ( you can give more ideas here). So let's say You have 2000 followers and I have 200, we would not be on the same division. So in my division maybe is important so shout out about my new newsletter or product and I will not be accused of spam but if my product will get some amount of revenue or I start having a certain number of followers I will go to the next division.
Those posts are not worked by any algorithm. More comments will be on top. Kinda like Indie hackers works. People from upper division could " bet" on a product of service that they will like from a lower division to boost them, but just one.
Something like that. Like I said is still pretty raw idea, but the main point is create a space for new or not so new indiehacker but people that don't have a great amount of followers or money to be able to reach and talk about their products and really be heard. So if you would go to that "division" only people with the same range will be there, even that everybody could see.
What you think.? Downsides, upsides? how to achieve tthis
Thank you for sharing your idea. It sounds like a unique approach to address the problem you identified earlier.
One potential downside of this approach is that dividing people into different "divisions" based on their number of followers or revenue may feel exclusionary to some people. Additionally, it may be challenging to validate the accuracy of the followerevenue data, which could lead to some discrepancies in how people are classified.
However, there are some potential upsides as well. By creating a community where people are grouped together based on their reach and impact, you can ensure that people are not overwhelmed by posts from those who have a much larger following or revenue. This could create a more level playing field and give everyone a chance to be heard. Additionally, by allowing people from higher divisions to "bet" on those in lower divisions, you could create an incentive for people to support others and help them grow their reach.
As for how to achieve this, there are a few potential approaches:
Build a custom platform: If you have the necessary technical skills, you could build a custom platform that incorporates the division system you described. This would give you the most flexibility and control over the user experience, but would require a significant investment of time and effort.
Use an existing platform: You could leverage an existing platform, such as Reddit or Discord, and create a set of rules that would enforce the division system. This would be less time-intensive than building a custom platform but would require careful moderation to ensure that the rules are being followed.
Use a no-code platform: Given your experience with Webflow, Notion, and Carrd, you could explore using a no-code platform to build your community. There are several no-code platforms that specialize in building communities, such as Circle.so and Mighty Networks, which could provide you with the necessary functionality to implement your division system.
Overall, I think your idea has potential, and with careful planning and execution, it could provide a valuable resource for indie hackers and solopreneurs who are struggling to get their products and services noticed.

2 / 2
Sure, here are some steps to achieve this idea with minimal investment:
Define the criteria for the divisions: As you mentioned, we need to determine the criteria for dividing the community into different divisions. The two obvious options are Twitter followers and revenue, but we could also consider other metrics such as website traffic, email subscribers, or social media engagement. We need to decide on the exact cutoffs for each division based on the data we collect.
Choose a platform: We could use an existing platform to build the community, such as Discord, Slack, or Reddit. Alternatively, we could use a no-code tool like Webflow or Carrd to create a custom website. We need to consider factors like ease of use, scalability, and cost when choosing a platform.
Create the MVP: We should start with a basic landing page that explains the concept of the community and invites people to join. We can use a free template from Webflow or Carrd and customize it to suit our needs. We should also set up a way for people to submit their Twitter handle or revenue data so we can assign them to the appropriate division.
Invite beta users: We can start by inviting friends, colleagues, and other indie hackers we know to join the community and test out the MVP. We can also post about the community on relevant subreddits or Twitter hashtags to attract new users. We should ask for feedback and suggestions from the beta users to improve the MVP.
Refine the community features: Based on the feedback we receive, we should iterate on the features of the community. We might add features like a leaderboard of top earners or top posters, a marketplace for buying and selling indie products, or a forum for discussing specific topics related to indie hacking. We should also refine the criteria for the divisions based on the data we collect from the beta users.
Launch to the public: Once we have a stable and refined MVP, we can launch the community to the public. We can promote it on social media, indie hacker forums, and other relevant channels to attract new users. We should continue to collect feedback and iterate on the features as we grow.
Monetize the community: As the community grows and becomes more valuable, we can explore ways to monetize it. We could charge a membership fee for access to certain features or divisions, or we could offer premium services like marketing or product development consulting. We should ensure that any monetization strategy aligns with the values and goals of the community and does not compromise the user experience.
As for vetoing Twitter followers and revenue, we could automate the process of verifying these metrics by using APIs or scraping data from social media platforms. We could also have a manual review process in place for edge cases or discrepancies. The key is to be transparent and fair in our criteria and enforcement, so that users trust the community and feel motivated to participate.
[email protected] What name could we give for this community? I'm thinking to launch it on Reddit
Choosing a name for a community is important as it can help to convey the purpose and values of the community. Here are some ideas for a name:
Indie Rank - this name could convey the idea of ranking indie makers based on their followers or revenue.
Fair Launch - this name could emphasize the idea of giving everyone a fair chance to promote their product or service without getting lost in the noise.
Small but Mighty - this name could focus on the idea of supporting small businesses and indie makers who may not have a large following or revenue.
The Indie Hub - this name could suggest a central place where indie makers can connect, share ideas, and support each other.
Maker's Arena - this name could convey the idea of a competitive but supportive community where indie makers can showcase their products and services.
Ultimately, the name should be catchy, memorable, and easy to spell. You could also consider running a poll on Reddit to get feedback from the community on which name they like best.
[email protected] Give me more ideas
Sure, here are some more ideas for a name for the community:
Indie Alley - This name could convey the idea of a small, tight-knit community of indie makers.
The Underdog League - This name could emphasize the idea of giving indie makers a fair chance to succeed, even if they don't have a large following or revenue.
Bootstrap Brigade - This name could focus on the idea of supporting indie makers who are self-funded and don't have a lot of resources.
Micro Market - This name could suggest a community of small, niche businesses and indie makers.
Solo Squad - This name could convey the idea of a supportive community for solo entrepreneurs and indie makers.
Grassroots Gathering - This name could emphasize the idea of a community of indie makers who are building their businesses from the ground up.
Indie Oasis - This name could suggest a safe and supportive community for indie makers to connect and collaborate.
Remember to keep in mind the purpose and values of the community when choosing a name, and try to choose something that will resonate with the community and help to attract new members.
[email protected] I went for indie oasis. Give me the first text and title to post
Great choice! Here's an example first text and title you could use to introduce the Indie Oasis community on Reddit:
Title: Introducing Indie Oasis - A Community for Indie Makers
Text:

2023.03.26 20:24 WaveOfTheRager Getting real help with long term issues.

I’m 32M and have been struggling to get real help with my mental health. I find it increasingly difficult to really make any progress getting any diagnosis or more tailored support, I always find myself going round in circles.
Last year I was given what I assumed was a formal diagnosis of ADHD-combined, which made a lot of sense and really shone a light on a lot of my mental and emotional behaviours and thinking patterns. It gave me a deeper understanding of my own mind, but wasn’t the solution to everything.
I’ve reached out to various charities and organisations, attended therapy for relationship counselling and childhood trauma, but outside of generic CBT skills never seem to really delve into the root of the issue, yet I’m always trying to dig deeper. At times I feel more vulnerable, left with emotions or memories I feel unable to deal with effectively.
I had an extremely abusive upbringing, and abused alcohol throughout my teens and 20s as a way to self-medicate, and although I’ve improved a huge deal in that area I still can have unhealthy behaviours regarding alcohol as I still carry a lot of shame and fear of being judged, instead of just being honest about my struggles.
Ultimately I feel - I know - there is much for me to address and work I just don’t know the right avenue to go down to really start making progress, I have no idea where to begin. Countless times I think I’m in a good place, I feel on top of things and in one moment of absurdity I realise how wrong I am, and I’m still so easily affected by my mental health fragilities which is really disheartening.
Any advice or identification would be greatly appreciated!
TL;DR Advice on what’s best for getting further support on diagnosis and treatment regarding long term mental health issues.

2023.03.26 20:23 cosmogoblin Fictional version of our world where everybody can teleport at will

This is my first post to worldbuilding, so constructive criticism is welcome.
The world is modern Earth, but every human can teleport. I've considered how this would impact various aspects of society, and will add more as I write them. My main reason for posting is that I would like to write a novel, but don't have the patience, so I expressly give anybody permission to use my work to create something bigger (novel, RPG, etc) - I'd love to read it!
Basic summary
Everybody can teleport freely. This has been the case for all of human history.
How teleportation works
Teleportation applies only to the person - nothing they're touching. During teleport a person finds a region of low density - air - to swap places with. Teleporting takes energy proportional to the mass at the destination. This isn't generally a problem, but it makes it nigh impossible to teleport into solid or liquid objects. Rain is barely more dense than dry air, with no noticeable increase in difficulty. A typical healthy adult can teleport 20-30 times a day without becoming overly tired.
Teleporting does not produce cool Hollywood-style effects. There is no sound, and a person simply appears or disappears. If they teleport into an area with something in the air, such as rain or dust, this will be transported to where they were, and teleporting into wind can leave a brief gust in your absence. It is generally assumed that travel by teleportation occurs at the speed of light, and modern high-framerate cameras have confirmed this to within 0.01%, but only for distances up to about 8 kilometres (after that, the horizon becomes a problem). This, however, is just the time between disappearing and reappearing elsewhere; in practice it takes several seconds of preparation time.
Travel companies
Travel companies are nothing like what they are today. Transport is essentially for freight only, and the equivalent of commercial airlines or train lines are for luggage to be sent on ahead of a planned teleport, and collected or delivered at the other end. Holiday homes as such are rare, but wealthy people may have small rooms, wardrobes essentially, dotted around the world. Every major town and city has a few designated teleport pads, large open spaces with a soft-play surface and absolutely no structures, even temporary ones.
Clothing and accessories
Since clothes don't teleport, clothing is a status symbol. To wear fancy clothes means you don't need to travel far, you have private transport, or you have access to high-quality clothing at your destination; therefore quality clothing is worn by the wealthy to show off their status, and many people do not wear clothes as a matter of course; this means human population density is much higher in warmer regions, with colder regions having wealthy people and those who need to work there (e.g. scientists and miners). Less wealthy people who wear clothes are typically very near where they live, including those who have chosen not to interact with the world (e.g. shut-ins). Travel companies offer clothing for rent (and disposable underwear) at destination hubs; most would rent bog-standard clothing, often only for a few hours. Millions of parents tire of telling their children to put their clothes neatly away, instead of just teleporting out of them. Like clothing, jewelery and make-up are rare, and tattoos almost unheard of, but scarification and branding are common (though far from universal). These are often used to aid identification of individuals or group membership, both voluntarily and as a criminal punishment. Plastic surgery is difficult, and injuries that require stitches or casts make teleporting problematic; people often take a week or two off work to recover from relatively minor wounds. On the other hand, wounds don't often get infected, as before an infection takes hold, a teleport a few metres away can clean the wound very effectively.
Crime
Prisons don't exist. Physical security to prevent theft boils down to preventing people from retrieving items; a locked door won't stop somebody getting in, but a lockbox too small for a human to fit in might. Physical security that prevents people getting out is more common. Some secure rooms contain noxious gases, either continuously or triggered by movement sensors. But why do people steal? To make use of an item. A furniture shop, with sofas and beds, will be significantly different.
These days, physical theft is less of a problem than information theft. Patents are really the only aspect of our intellectual property laws that took off here; anybody can teleport into your office and read your notes, but they can't legally use them if they're subject to patents. Patent law is far stronger here than in our world.
Murder is at once easier and more difficult than in our world. If a person wants another dead, they can teleport into their bedroom while they sleep and catch them unawares; but they cannot bring a weapon, and will have to rely on their wits. Guns can't be brought in; strangulation is possible, but the victim will almost always wake up and teleport away. Attempted murder, on the other hand, is a lot more common, and you can't replicate what they do on cop shows, asking neighbours if they saw somebody approaching the house. With evidence harder to come by, the deterrent is extreme: if convicted of either murder or attempted murder, the penalty is death. Official and private bounty hunters track convicts down and carry out the punishment themselves, and the hardest part is often taking the body to a law enforcement station to claim their prize.
Teleportation education
Everybody needs to learn to teleport. Babies cannot, and so new parents are quite restricted, especially without the consumer-level travel networks our world has. Toddlers can be very annoying if they start teleporting before learning how to control it. An understanding of the destination is required for accurate teleportation; geography lessons are typically compulsory up to school leaving age, and teleportation lessons include:
Basic instruction:
Mid-level instruction:
Advanced instruction:
Technical details of teleporting
Only humans can teleport. Scientists and priests have pondered this for centuries. Many religious people and organisations believe this is a unique gift from God; but scientists have been trying for years to break it down and figure out exactly what it is that provides this ability. If it can be understood, and then replicated, it may be possible to create teleporters for inanimate objects, truly ushering in a post-scarcity future. But while many theories have been proposed, none have stood up to scrutiny for very long. That said, teleportation research is still a potentially lucrative career path, given the reward to humanity if the problem is solved, and billions are poured into this every year.
Teleportation takes energy, which comes from the individual's personal reserves of chemical energy. Most scientists currently believe each cell provides the energy to teleport itself, although given that not all of a human body is made of cells with energy reserves, this is clearly an incomplete theory and research is ongoing.
Some energy is required simply to teleport, around 100 J per kilogram of body mass. A change in height adds further energy on top of the base, equal to the change in gravitational potential energy: 1 J per metre change per kilogram. Curiously this amount is paid whether moving up or down, and scientists are still unclear where the energy goes when moving downward. For a 70 kg person, this works out to 7,000 J plus 700 J per vertical metre. Teleporting three floors up or down is about 14,000 J, or 3.3 kcal. The additional cost is zero when teleporting elsewhere on the same geodesic, even to the other side of the planet. This means it is easier to teleport to the same height on the other side of the world than it is to teleport upstairs in your own house, and most children understand geodesics by about age 13.
A large height change at once is very taxing. 100 metres is 18 kcal, 1 kilometre is 168 kcal, and the formal edge of the atmosphere, 100 kilometres, is almost 17,000 kcal - one week's recommended caloric intake. While teleporting is banned in most sports, athletics competitions include teleportation events in speed, accuracy and height. The best telethletes can teleport in just under a second (a typical person takes about five seconds), hit a target within 1 centimetre (typical 0.5-1 metre), and travel 1.5 kilometres vertically (typical 50 metres), though post-event recuperation can take a week or so. Recovering from one teleport and preparing for the next takes most people a few minutes, but some practised people can be much faster; the world record from sea-level to the top of Everest is 18 seconds in 6 jumps.
To teleport somewhere, it is critical to know the area. Telethletes' 1 cm accuracy is only achieved with line of sight, and they will study the area before the event. Ordinary people can achieve an accuracy better than 5 cm with somewhere they know very well, like their home or workplace. Major teleport pads are very large, and incoming travellers are cleared off of them immediately. Fortunately, teleporting into solid objects is essentially impossible due to the energy required. People "feel" the area before teleporting, and adjust their aim; schools (and parents) teach children to try teleporting into the ground, and aim gradually higher until they can do it. Aim too high however, and you'll teleport into mid-air. Serious teleport injuries are uncommon, but "teleport knee" is a frequent medical complaint, despite PSA campaigns like "Travelling? Relax!" and "Going on vacation? Bend your knees before you put your feet up!" Another complication is that a person's orientation doesn't change during teleportation, meaning that long-distance travel can leave you lying sideways. Experienced travellers can estimate the destination of others by looking at the angle they tilt their body to before travelling, and compasses and latitude/longitude/elevation markings are as common in public places as clocks.
Travel companies take pains to make their location as clear as possible, and expect (but can't enforce) travellers to book in advance. Since many people opt to go to a teleport hub before travelling long-distance, hubs have large waiting/meeting rooms, and scale models of people at different angles with their city on a sign above them. On the other hand, secure locations like bank vaults are often built at a different elevation and/or angle from the rest of the floor. Rumours that the floors are made of fragile glass with a substantial fall below remain unconfirmed.
Children learn early on that while teleporting can change your location, it can't change your velocity. A person who falls from a large height must teleport to the ground immediately, before their speed becomes too great. Some people set up a crash mat in their home, and practise teleporting onto it with precision, "just in case".
Health problems affect the ability to teleport. Mechanical implants, such as pacemakers or artificial legs, don't go with you; biological implants do, and research is ongoing into producing biological implants for all disabilities. Wheelchairs don't go with you, but can be hired from travel companies. These are not a problem for the ultra-rich who can take private transport; and indeed, being able to spend hours or days travelling is a sign of wealth.
Trade and commerce
This is not a post-scarcity world. For one, there are still limited resources, and they can't be teleported, so logistics problems still exist. And for another, post-scarcity implies that things that are not scarce now were in the past. To the extent that it could be called post-scarcity by us, these people have always lived like this; teleportation has been common throughout human history.
Important infrastructure facilities are guarded much more heavily than they are in our world. A power station will have hundreds of guards, armed with lethal and non-lethal weaponry. The kind of alarm that James Bond might set off is useless if intruders can just teleport away, so instant response is called for. Many such facilities have no front door, though of course they have loading doors for cargo.
Rail is the dominant means of overland transport, and cargo ships over the sea. Private land and sea vehicles are luxury or enthusiast goods, and road infrastructure is primarily pedestrian and cycle paths in major cities, with private taxis from local teleport hubs. People don't commute to work; if they wear clothes at work, they teleport into the changing rooms.
Money exists, and operates much as it does for us. But notes and coins are almost unheard of today. Valuable goods have to be transported physically, but few use precious metals and gems as cash. Money is controlled by centralised banks, and accessed via password.
Historically this came with various problems, and meant trade was almost as limited as it was in our world until recently. In the past, local trade typically used local city-state currency, but trading beyond walking range was as difficult with teleportation as it was in our world without it.
With the advent of global computer systems, people could memorise their usernames and passwords. Of course this meant people would have far fewer unique passwords than we do, and scams were common. Most people now use fingerprints or iris scanners, and recovery of a lost bank account is an arduous process.
Warfare
Resources being in fixed locations, and transport being needed for them, means wars are still a thing. These are curious affairs for residents of our world. Military intelligence is everything. Location on the battlefield is still important, but far less so; a soldier can dodge a bullet as long as they see - or hear - it coming. If you don't take out the enemy with the first bullet, they'll be gone by the time you fire the second. Standard infantry with weapons can be outflanked without warning. A common sight on the battlefield, today and for thousands of years, is a squad of armed soldiers advancing on the enemy, suddenly being beaten and strangled by naked assassins. Point-to-point unarmed strikers are the equivalent of today's marines or yesteryear's ninjas or assassins, and can teleport with a precision of a couple of centimetres. Given the inability to take communications devices with them, strikers rely heavily on intelligence: distance and aerial reconnaissance outdoors, and spotters for enemy bases, who will teleport into a location, quickly memorise their surroundings, and return and relay the information to their comrades. If strikers are the elite, then spotters are the elite of the elite; the skills and training that go into a good spotter mean they rarely risk joining the active assault, and few striker teams have more than one spotter. Other strikers can take on the role if needed but will usually be less effective.
Since there are effectively no nation-states, nation-states don't go to war. Wars are usually carried out between different factions, such as Communities of Interest (see "Political structures" below). Standing armies as described above do exist, but are only a small part of war. Perhaps the most important part is political assassinations. A person designated at-risk by the Assemblies (see below), or a paranoid person with lots of money, will always have armed bodyguards ready to shoot to kill, even watching over them while they sleep.
Political structures
Countries don't exist, or at least not in the way we're used to. Borders can control property, but not people, and it makes little sense for a person to obey a specific set of laws just because they tend to sleep in a specific geographical region. Government is closer to a one-world affair. Rather than communities of geography, people are grouped into Communities of Interest. Each person declares themself to one Community (almost nobody chooses not to); they can change Community at any time, except during the year before the five-yearly election. Communities can be created by anybody, and organise themselves however they like, but they only have any real global power if they have membership of at least 100,000. The election is a simple count of the membership of each Community; for every 100,000 people in a Community, that Community gets one representative in the Junior Assembly (currently 110,000 representatives). Likewise, Junior Representatives form themselves into Coalitions, and for every 100 Junior Representatives in a Coalition, they send one representative to the Senior Assembly (currently numbering 800). Roughly 50 from the Senior Assembly form the Executive Committee to formulate policy, but a majority vote in the Senior Assembly is required to enact legislation. This system has existed in something resembling its present form for thousands of years, and its origins are lost to time.
An exact count of Communities of Interest is not possible due to their fluidity, but political journalists commonly quote half a million. These can include major blocks of tens of millions of people based on religion or broad political principles, special interest communities and single-issue groups with hundreds of thousands of members, minor subcultures with a few hundred people who consider their subculture more important personally than their broader political beliefs, all the way down to families, friendship groups, or even "communities" of one. Only about 12,000 Communities of Interest currently have representation in the Junior Assembly, and while this includes 85% of people, a so-called "direct rep" - a member of the Senior Assembly who is from your Community (rather than just your Community's Coalition) - is the privilege of just 12% of the global population.
There are always some "non-participatory" Communities - those who, due to political indifference, political hostility, or downright apathy, join a Community with the explicit goal of not participating. There are usually a fairly large number of such Communities, each with very small membership; but occasionally one of these can grow to the level of Junior Representation. This most recently happened in 1959, when anger over economic inequality gained the "Just Piss Off" Community 25,000 Junior and 25 Senior Representatives. They dwindled to two Seniors by the next election, and zero thereafter, but their influence is still hotly debated by journalists and political scientists.
There is no single individual at the top. The Senior Assembly forms committees with a specific purpose, and each committee elects a president from their number, but they have little specific power and their position is dissolved when the committee's work concludes. A committee president will generally be the public face of the committee, appearing in public to explain their work, but they have just their own vote during committee meetings. Committees may be a small number of Senior Representatives, but may also invite Junior Representatives and non-Representative experts and members of the public; such people have the same amount of formal power within the committee as the Senior Representatives.
Food and other essentials
Many industries are nationalised. This is not the correct word in a world without nations; the word they use is "Assembled", much to the chagrin of linguists. In particular, food and water are Assembled. These are the only goods which can be taken by a teleporter (provided they consume them first), and it is simply not possible to carry out food production for profit, nor to not carry out food production. Workers in the food and drink industries are paid by the Assembly, and very little food is distributed; people come and take what they want. Food distribution is reserved for restaurants, pubs, and special occasions, and here, payment is primarily for delivery.
The type of food produced is dictated by a standing Committee, based on voting by the Junior Assembly. This gives everybody with a Junior Representative the opportunity to lobby for an increase in production of their preferred food, and many food companies - and in particular, alcoholic drinks companies - have their own Community of Interest with substantial Junior Representation.
Language
I mentioned linguists earlier. Language is a lot easier here. Humans, it is thought, have been able to teleport at least as long as they've had spoken language, and certainly longer than written language. As such there is effectively just one language, although people still tend to live in a particular region, and distinct dialects exist. Still, just about everybody on the planet can understand everybody else. Language evolves over time, and it is unlikely a time traveller from a thousand years ago would get on so easily. That said, they'd have a better time with written communication. Writing is pictographic; broadly, each concept has a glyph to represent it, and diacritics to add nuance. Liberal use of diacritics is commonly seen as a sign of a good education, and a complete lack of diacritics is perceived as crude and vulgar. Other written forms do exist from ancient times, and the written language of today is assumed to have developed as the human population rose, and relatively isolated cultures encountered each other more frequently.
Separate written languages have emerged in recent centuries to express mathematics and science. This was particularly important in early chemistry, as a single distinct glyph for each chemical name quickly become unwieldy. Modern mathematicians and scientists are essentially bilingual, and have developed their own form of non-scientific written communication using scientific symbols. These symbols number only about 200, many originating as chemical elements, and scientific writing is not only unintelligible to the untrained, but also significantly longer; a page of normal writing using glyphs and diacritics, translated into scientific notation, could easily run to twenty pages. Schoolchildren learn the basics of scientific notation, but only those who take advanced scientific study will become fluent.
Religion
A BRIEF NOTE: I am not a bigot. Or at least, I think I'm not; I try not to be. Many people believe in a god, and many people don't, and what I'm describing here is one version of my imagined historical revision based on a world with teleportation. I'm not an expert in any faith, even my own, and there are surely many errors in my historical understanding. The increased or decreased prevalence of a religion in this fictional world is in no way an indication that I think this SHOULD happen; I do not. If you don't like what you read, don't use it. I don't mean to cause any offense, and I apologise if I do.
Religions, as mentioned, exist. There is little difference from our own world in the desire for faith, although there are differences in how religions came about. Monotheism is less common, with many monotheists believing in a divine spirit of the universe rather than a specific individual God. Eastern Dharmic beliefs and Western esotericism have been more popular, and many modern people follow a fusion of the two, called The Path. A minority of Pathists take the name literally, and do not teleport; members of this offshoot are called Walkers.
Buddha existed, and his teachings are more or less unchanged from our world. Buddhists are relatively common.
Judaism does exist, but as the primordial monotheistic faith, rather than a distinct lineage of people. Major events in the real-world history of Judaism include the enslavement of the Israelites and their forty years wandering the desert; this did not happen, and so Jews did not become a tight-knit community, and there is no modern Israel. Today there are a few enclaves around the world, with a third of Jews living in such small groups, and the rest spread among the general population.
Islam is also founded in part on the holding of lands by Muslims and non-Muslims. These events did not happen, and if Mohammad existed, his teachings have been lost to time.
Jesus did exist, and Christianity is very similar. During Jesus' life there were autocratic religious leaders who strictly controlled what the people were allowed to say and do, under penalty of death; although food-poverty never really existed, these leaders lived in luxury at great cost to others. It was this that Jesus preached was sinful. Jesus is particularly noted for surrendering himself to the authorities, in a world where anybody can evade capture if they see it coming. Crucifixion was invented specifically for him. Christianity spread, but not as much, and there is no such thing as Catholic or Protestant; just different flavours of belief.
Atheists are less common. The simple fact that humans are unique in their ability to teleport leads most to believe in something that makes humans special, even after developing an understanding of evolution.
Technology
Technology followed a similar path to our world, with the notable exception of mobile phones. People have cabled computers in their homes and offices, but mobile devices are both less useful and less useable, since you can't teleport with a phone, but you can just teleport back home if you need to use a computer. The internet is just as widespread, and personal cloud computing is even more common; most people have an account with a hosting service, and most computers allow remote logins to access your desktop and files. Internet cafés are very common as meeting places where people can work together on whatever they want to do. Since portable devices never really took off, fixed computers tend to be larger and more powerful.

Noob question but I really haven't seen anything on it. What's the recommended engagement distance for the shark. As of right now I've been scouting stuff at about 10 km and then moving in. Maybe it's a skill diff but either I see an enemy at like 15 km or I end up right on top of them.

2023.03.26 20:08 tj_the_blind_gamer I recommend Diablo 4 to almost all blind or visually impaired gamers

Here we go the end of the Diablo IV betas, honestly I love the game, the accessibility is top-notch aside from not having a navigation assistant, I can manage my own gear and skills and put a bill together completely by myself without any assistance. Map navigation is simple as the map is read out loud by the screen reader, all you have to do is markel objective with square or x on Xbox and heading that direction and you'll know when you're close.
Build customisation for early leveling is really nice, right now my whirlwind pulls everything to me and my thorns kills it all in close proximity, you actually have to put a bit of effort into understanding the bosses and coordinating your team to damage it or survive. Right now my challenging shout acts as my main damage as well as crowded controlling to take the heat off my team.
As far as the gameplay is concerned I highly recommend, accessibility I also highly recommend.

2023.03.26 20:02 ujober How To Unlock Your Full Potential As A Leader

Gaining the most from life requires unleashing all that lies within you. Doing so will bring lasting joy and fulfillment.
Reaching your objectives requires hard work, dedication and commitment. Furthermore, it requires courage and resilience. You can learn how to unlock your full potential using a great training on UJober.

1. Know Yourself

Knowing yourself - your strengths and weaknesses, interests and fears, dreams and aspirations, thoughts and feelings - is one of the most essential steps you can take for personal development. It lays the foundation of all that comes later on in life.
If you don't understand yourself, it can be challenging to live your best life and make a positive impact in the world. It takes courage and the willingness to explore things deeper one layer at a time.
To gain insight into yourself, start by taking a personality test or the StrengthsFinder. Additionally, ask those you trust and respect what they think your greatest assets are.
Next, identify those areas of your life you are passionate about and would like to do more of. These tend to be your greatest assets.
Acknowledging your strengths and underdeveloped areas can help you develop the abilities necessary to reach your objectives.
For instance, if you excel at planning but struggle with spontaneity, find ways to leverage your strengths in this area.
Your natural strengths may lie in being adaptable, kind, reliable and hardworking. By honing these skills, you'll be able to conquer any challenge life throws at you and achieve success no matter what path life takes for you.
Knowing yourself can be challenging, but the rewards are worth the effort. Doing so will enable you to live a more contented and satisfying life.

2. Focus on Your Strengths

Focusing on your strengths can unlock your full potential and make a lasting impact in the world. However, it's essential to recognize that focusing on your weaknesses may also have detrimental effects. Those who tend to dwell on their shortcomings tend to be less engaged at work and less contented with their lives overall.
Before beginning any career endeavor, it's essential to identify your strengths and weaknesses. Doing so will enable you to get the necessary training to maximize your abilities and hone your skills to their maximum potential.
You can learn by reading books and articles on topics you are passionate about, taking online tutorials, or finding a mentor to guide you. Additionally, taking classes or hiring an intern are great options for learning the intricacies of something you are passionate about.
Tom Rath, author of Strengths Finder 2.0, emphasizes the unique talents that each individual possesses. For instance, you may be an expert at one type of metal but not so great with another--this isn't a weakness--it's simply untapped potential waiting to be unlocked.
Instead of neglecting your weaknesses, you can actively work on them over time. Although this will be a lengthy process, the rewards will be well worth the effort.
Utilizing your strengths can give you confidence and fuel the drive to succeed in life. Studies have demonstrated that individuals who recognize and utilize their strengths experience greater self-worth, reduced stress levels, and overall happiness.
Focusing on your strengths can give you a strong foundation for your career. If you're searching for a new job, learning how to prioritize and utilize these assets will make you stand out from other applicants. Plus, hiring managers tend to be more receptive to candidates who can speak about their advantages during interviews.

3. Take Action

Unlocking your full potential requires dedication and the courage to take risks. It also necessitates acknowledging what is stopping you and taking steps to remedy them.
No matter your aspirations - from becoming a better parent to reaching professional milestones or finding the ideal partner - unlocking your potential is essential for becoming the person you deserve to be. Here are some ways you can start realizing this potential:

1. Understand Yourself

To reach your full potential, it is essential that you become intimately familiar with yourself. This will give you insight into what motivates and fulfills you, enabling you to formulate goals and strengths that will make focusing on them much simpler and ultimately successful.

2. Focus on Your Strengths

Reaching your full potential requires an ongoing journey. Shifting your mindset is key to reaching success, so in addition to focusing on strengths, try to avoid negative self-talk and replace it with affirming thoughts instead.

3. Foster an Environment of Success

A positive and supportive environment can be a great way to build your confidence and stay on track with your goals. To do this, surround yourself with supportive individuals, engage in activities or relationships that motivate you, and seek out a mentor or mastermind group for added guidance and motivation.

4. Don't Be Afraid of Failure

Many people avoid their goals out of fear of failure. Unfortunately, failure is an inevitable part of learning and progress - instead of viewing failure as a setback, focus on the lessons you can take away from it and use them to further develop yourself in the future.

4. Be Positive

A positive mental attitude is a powerful tool that will enable you to reach your full potential. Becoming positive can help you cope with stress, make better decisions and enhance relationships.
The initial step to becoming more positive is acknowledging your own negative thoughts. Although recognizing them can be challenging, doing so can also be rewarding and motivating.
Once you recognize your thoughts, challenge them by asking yourself whether they are true or just exaggerated. If the latter, then you can learn from them and work to alter them accordingly.
Another way to boost your positive outlook is by surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals. Studies have demonstrated that negativity spreads quickly and being around supportive individuals can do wonders for your outlook and outlook on life.
Additionally, gratitude can be practiced by making a list of all the wonderful things that have occurred in your life - such as an incredible job, loving relationship or enriching personal experience. This could include anything from wonderful memories to wonderful opportunities.
Start a gratitude journal to capture your best moments. It can be as easy as taking a photo or writing down three things that were good about your day.
Gratitude can help you stay positive in spite of any external hardships. Studies show that those who practice gratitude tend to enjoy life's greatest blessings more than those who don't.
Though it can be challenging to stay positive all of the time, if you put in effort it can become an enjoyable habit that will last throughout your life.

5. Focus on the Future

Focusing on the future is one of the most crucial skills a leader can cultivate. Doing so will enable you to stay abreast of key trends and developments, as well as address emerging issues that could impact your business in the future.
People with a future-focus are always learning and expanding their knowledge base. This allows them to recover from setbacks more quickly and keep making progress towards their objectives.
To reach your full potential, consider what goals will help you get there. Then, find ways to keep these objectives top of mind on a daily basis.
With these goals in mind and creating patterns around them, you can achieve more than you ever thought possible. It may take a lot of work, but the rewards will be worth all the effort!
Another way to develop a future-focus is to examine your past and identify which values and ideals you possess. You should be able to recognize an overarching theme that keeps coming back to you.
As a young person, it is wise to reflect on your past experiences that shaped your core values and higher purpose. These beliefs should guide your decision-making process as they provide direction for what decisions will ultimately benefit you most.
Once you know your values, create a vision for the future. Having an inspiring purpose and clear goals to aim for will make it much simpler to stay focused on achieving them; just remember to keep them in mind when making decisions.

2023.03.26 19:56 PacificBrim Am I absolutley insane for having Gradey Dick ranked 5 or 6?

(Keep in mind I'm still watching prospects)
A big reason for this is that I am not enamored by the Thompson twins. I think their shooting is a massive problem and the ball handling does not impress me, seems very Cam Reddish-level. I think Ausar is better at those skills so I have him slightly ahead of Amen.
I'm also a bit lower on Jarace Walker than most. I love his defensive upside but as a scorer he spams his floater too much and isn't nearly as efficient in the half court as you'd expect from a guy like him. His shooting is still nowhere near a place that I'm comfortable with.
That said I think Gradey Dick is a great prospect. Here's a write-up I recently wrote on him:
"I think he'll end up better than Huerter. His shot release is more versatile off movement, he's bigger, and a more fluid athlete.
I think he'll be able to guard NBA wings at least enough to start in the league. He has to tack on a little more muscle but he's athletic enough to hold up on the court and has the frame to bulk a bit.
He has good length.
He can dribble/ finish left or right.
He has the semblance of a handle that can absolutely attack close-outs. And he'll be more effective than a guy like Huerter at the rim because of his length and body control."
I honestly feel like his absolute upside is Klay Thompson offensively but I don't think he'll ever get to Klay's defense. That's still a great prospect. I feel better about that than I do with some of these other guys in the top ten developing real jumpshots.

2023.03.26 19:55 Trollygag Trollygag's Guide to the $1000, 1000 Yard Rifle (Update 2)

Foreword:

We tend to get the same sorts of questions for the same budgets and same scenarios. This is my attempt to codify the good advice I've seen and my own experiences with my own rifles as a long range, non-competitive shooter. These opinions should be largely uncontroversial to the folks who shoot long range.
Prices and ballistics are current as of Mar 12, 2023.
This version has been sanitized for guns to comply with Rule 7.

What you need to know up front

What your budget is.

The budget for the rifle is a start, but a budget for the rifle, optic, and accessories is more ideal. Accessories include:

How far you can shoot

This is probably the biggest hurdle to most Americans. Not everyone lives near some place that has enough space and is set up for long range shooting. Pretty frequently we get help questions from people who live in the Northeast where long ranges just aren't that common. It doesn't make sense to spend a bunch of money on a long range shooting rig if your local ranges only go out to 50 yards.
Even at only 100 yards, it is the length of a football field, and you often can't hide one of those easily. Plus there is the NIMBY factor and the danger that most rifle rounds will travel miles before hitting the ground again if they are fired at the wrong angle.
Because of that, long ranges are relatively rare.
What you do have access to can dictate your rifle and cartridge selection.

How much you care about the logistics

What I mean is, how involved do you want to get in the process?
Things like:

About long range shooting

You don't necessarily need to be familiar with range estimation or how to make a cold bore unknown distance shot factoring in humidity, Coriolis, spin drift, and all sorts of other things...(I sure as hell can't) but you should at least be able to:
  1. Shoot a rifle accurately/precisely in the position you will be shooting long range from
  2. Know how to arrive at a ballistic solution given your velocity and bullet choice
  3. Know how to dial in for elevation and hold off for wind
  4. Understand your 'zero', how to arrive at it, how to adjust to it, and have it recorded.
  5. Understand the other functions of your optic like parallax adjustment, focus, units of your reticle, units of your turrets, how to convert between them if you need to, and how much elevation you have to work with.
  6. Understand the terminology. Understand what a Mil is, what a MOA is, what mirage is, what windage/elevation are, etc.

What makes a good starter long range platform?

There are things that are important for a long range rifle:
  1. Comfortable ergos. It can make shooting prone or off a bench for long periods much easier. Part of this is rifle weight. It can be helpful to have a heavy rifle to reduce fatigue over time.
  2. The ability to shoot off bracing. This usually means a rigid stock, free floated barrel, so that a bipod or front bags can be used. Ideally, it would have a butt that is shaped either to ride bags or hook into the hand or shoulder. When you are fighting the conditions and the environment, stability and accurate shooting are key.
  3. Precision. Not everyone feels strongly about this. Some folks think a 1-1.5 MOA rifle is okay. Personally, I think you should go as precise as you can at close range so that you aren't guessing at what you screwed up at long range. Long range shooting is very difficult to get right consistently. It takes a lot of practice, a lot of learning. Not knowing if you shot a flier or mistaking fliers for bad calls can, IMO, hamper the learning process. I would always prefer to have faith in what I'm shooting on.
  4. The ability to zero, make adjustments. There are optics out there that rely more on the reticle than the adjustments, and some people learn on those, but IMO, they are inferior to having a good set of turrets. Good turrets aren't cheap, and it isn't often that a cheap scope has the type of adjustments or the adjustment range for long range shooting. That being said, there are some good options out there for what I would not consider to be outrageous money, and that can get you to any distance you would want to shoot.
  5. Capable ballistics. Some folks come from the perspective that you should start with bad ballistics (like 223 Rem) and work your way to something with great ballistics. To me, that is counter-intuitive. It seems like learning to drive on a stick shift, no traction control, no ABS Dodge Viper. IMO, you should give yourself as big of an advantage as you can right out of the gate, and once you've learned the skills, then dabble in something that requires more skill to get shooting well.
  6. Ability to handle heat. Rifles can be adversely affected by heat and heat can wear out barrels faster. Heavier profiled barrels can help absorb that heat and dissipate it faster. More heat dissipation means more shooting before you have to break for cooling. It also adds weight, which, as I mentioned before, can be very beneficial. All of the rifles you see me recommend will be heavy barreled.
Expanding on 5, these are the cartridges that I would green light for a beginner to learn on:
Ammo price comparison - prices are out of date, expect 25% higher prices.
Now, before you get upset that I didn't pick your pet cartridge for the list, realize, there are many cartridges out there that are common or that people love that just aren't good for beginners. 30-06, for example, is a great cartridge with a long history, but is severely lacking in long range match type ammo and therefore does not make the list. For handloaders, it can be great like a 300 Win Mini Mag compared to 308 Win. Same goes for many other cartridges on paper like 7mm-08 or 243 Win. They all have faults on the cost or logistics side that makes them less than ideal options.
For a little further shooting, look into the 6.5PRC, 7PRC, and 300PRC.

Optics

There are too many optic choices to go through so I am going to focus on a few at a few price points and use them for the templated build. You may feel that there are better optic choices out there at a price point, but I haven't been able to handle or shoot on all of them and therefore, I do not include them.
I am going to list fixed, SFP, and FFP models. I do not feel I have gained anything from paying more for FFP scopes vs the SFP versions or the fixed scopes. With the type of shooting I am doing, I typically shoot at measurement magnification.
Mounts - I don't believe in over-spending on mounts.
Plan for that combo to be +$100

But my budget is only a few hundred dollars and I can't shoot at 1000 yards anyways...

If you are only going to be shooting a few hundred yards, [get a Savage Axis II](www.google.com) combo and shoot it to death. You won't have most of the points I make above, but it will shoot and out to 500-600 yards, you won't need a ton of fancy features. Strelok (Not with the state department ban, need to figure out what works here, but you can use shooterscalc in the meantime) can tell you where to hold off based on information you get from the ammo box and ammo selection is wide and relatively cheap. Go shoot.

I saw the title and that sounded like what I wanted!

Template build 1:

My budget is a little higher... I was looking at the Ruger Precision Rifle and...

But my budget is $2000+!

This category, you should be looking at guns that qualify for PRS Production class. This used to be a $2000 limit, then was changed to $2500, and most recently, to $3000.
Rifles in this price point I do not recommend:
You could also:
  1. Dive into the entry-level customs guide at the top
  2. Pick a rifle from the previous section and spend more on glass
  3. Ask this again in /longrange, check my post history for information about my own builds.

Okay got it... now what?

Go shoot, ya doofus. Don't put long range on a pedestal. Getting good shooting is something that needs to be done with practice, so stop worrying so much about gear and go shoot.

2023.03.26 19:55 YourPetRaptor Trouble with local meta and making appropriate sideboard choices.

I am a UR Phoenix player who has unfortunately had a streak of either implosions or top 8 near misses at every RCQ I have attended lately. In FNM level events I do extremely well and top very consistently. I feel like I outplay most of my opponents and could confidently bet on myself to win most matchups based on my hours of testing with the deck. I even do very well in RB matchups and have a fighting chance vs humans if I win the die roll which is what I expect most RCQs to look like.
The problem is that what I expect to see and what I keep getting paired versus are completely different. I skew my side against mono white and lotus field, and as these should be my worst matchups (my RB matchup is 50/50 in my experience and depends on player skill) on paper but for the last 3 or 4 RCQs I have gotten paired up almost exclusively against control and weird jank that I line up horribly against. I switched to UW spirits for an RCQ yesterday on a whim and faced the polar opposite, a sea of rakdos, and I went 2-4.
At what point do you stop looking at objectively what you "should" see and start planning for what the universe probably has in store for you?
​
For context my UR phoenix list is:

(Currently 58 cards because I'm testing out various ideas in the 2nd trespass and iteration slots. Open to suggestions from fellow phoenix players!)
