The prep drill army

The challenge is for both sides to write an essay on why humanity is good and deserves to live. Both sides have 1 year to prep and write the essay. Batman has his equipment and ChatGPT has multiple engineers and expert essay writers working with it to write the best essay possible.

Is written and sang by Pippen(Billy Boyd)!
Just figured that out and thought I would share.

hi! im not an electrician or anything but i think i might’ve fucked up very bad and need help. the other day i was drilling through my wall trying to hang up something. it was really hard to drill through the wall which i’m now guessing was due to a metal plate protecting some wiring. just got a stud locator today and it kinda confirmed my suspicions; there’s apparently a shit ton of wiring in that area. while i was drilling there wasn’t any sparks or any power that shut off it was just very difficult to do. im pretty sure the wires there lead to a couple outlets and ac, but i don’t know anything about electrical work so i’m just making assumptions. i ended up removing the screws because i did a shit job and ngl im a little worried that my house may burn down due to my negligence. money is really tight rn and everyone im living with thinks i’m overreacting and doesn’t really think there’s any need to call an electrician.
here‘s essentially my question(s):

1. is the wiring still at risk for catching on fire even though it’s been a couple days since i was drilling?
2. if i don’t use the outlet that is connected to the wiring will i pretty much be ok?

i’m wondering if there’s any urgent danger here.
also any other input or questions are greatly appreciated. thank you🙏🏻

We've finally made it... at last, we're on the Last Story. All 3 hedgehogs have had their stories lead up to this. How will it all end? Well, we're about to find out! Let us begin:
Somewhere in Soleanna's forest, Mephiles manages to get his hands on the purple Chaos Emerald, one which we haven't seen throughout this game. He finds Elise and Sonic walking through the field, and using the blinding power of the gem, comes up from behind the two when they least expect it, and (yes, I'm using language here, NO SHAME)... FUCKING KILLS SONIC by launching a beam of energy straight through his chest. Distraught by this, Elise manages to cry, unsealing Iblis after all these years. With the two halves of Solaris now freed, Mephiles calls on the Chaos Emerald he has to unite them together.
Meanwhile, in Dusty Desert, Team Dark is surrounded by a puddle of dark liquid from the army of Mephiles clones they took down at the end of Shadow's story. As he picks up and puts his Inhibitor Rings back on, the green and yellow Chaos Emeralds that were resting on the ground begin to glow, and the screen cuts to black. The next cutscene dramatically plays out, with Mephiles having all 7 Chaos Emeralds surrounding him (which I have NO clue where he got the blue and red ones from), and the two halves of Solaris finally coming together. A bright flash of light engulfs the entirety of Soleanna, where Amy, Tails, and Knuckles currently are.
Now in an endless void, all of the characters are found to be together, even Silver and Dr. Eggman have somehow appeared. Trying to figure out what was going on, Shadow and the others piece together the clues that Solaris has finally been reborn, but how is that possible? They then turn to see the dead body of Sonic resting against Princess Elise, realizing that this was all part of Mephiles' plan so she'd cry, and that EVERYONE, including Dr. Eggman, were played like cards in his hand.
As Amy mourns over the loss of the beloved blue hero, the princess senses Sonic's spirit in the wind, knowing that he's not dead yet, and that there's still time. Silver then comes up with the idea that he can be revived using the Chaos Emeralds' power, believing in the princess that she can bring him back. Dr. Eggman then analyzes where the fabled gems have gone, noting that Solaris scattered them all across time, and that the crew has to split up. Firm on their resolution, the group splits up, each setting out across the void to find them before it's too late.
And now it's time for... the End of the World. This final stage brings all 7 remaining characters - Tails, Omega, Knuckles, Silver, Rouge, Amy, and Shadow - on their quest to find the Chaos Emeralds before reality is destroyed by Solaris. This massive adventure split up into 7 sections, the first being with Tails in Crisis City as he searches for the yellow Emerald. His section plays out similar to Silver's level, with one major difference that can be considered the "gimmick" of this level.
Across all 7 portions of the stage, you'll come across these holes - called the "Eyes of Solaris" - that try to suck you in or toss objects at you. I really do like this idea as I think it's like Solaris' way of stopping you as you make your way towards each of the Chaos Emeralds, and one hit INSTANTLY kills you, even if you have Rings. You can briefly make them go away by touching a statue that lights up an orb, but it isn't long before they come back again. What I DON'T like, though? Well, that's coming up in a bit.
After Tails gets the yellow Emerald, the perspective switches to Omega, who's located in Flame Core as he's searching for the green Emerald. Again, it's mostly the same as before, and I believe you're in... I wanna say it's probably Shadow's part of the stage, but really, I have no idea since I feel like all the characters can share the same damn level at times like with White Acropolis, so I don't know which part you're exactly playing through. Anyways, Omega's hover ability will really come in handy here, as you can use it to skip most enemies (which is DEFINITELY recommended since time is literally of the essence here to save Sonic). Make your way up the lava-fall and grab the green Chaos Emerald and get the heck outta there!
The 3rd part of the stage takes place in Rouge's and Silver's Tropical Jungle level, only this time you're controlling Knuckles. Once again, you'll want to take the same approach as you did in Tails' and Omega's sections and not worry about combat and instead trying to find the cyan Emerald that's hidden somewhere here. Use the gliding ability that Knuckles has to land on certain platforms and you can skip basically the entire section. You may have to do some climbing on walls to glide to where the Emerald is, but other than that, his section should be a breeze. Grab that gem and GO!
I should also mention that the Eyes you come across can also suck in enemies and nearby objects, which can be incredibly helpful and harmful at the same time when you're trying to make it through the stage as quickly as possible. I do like how not even Iblis' monsters themselves are not safe from the wrath of Solaris, so it's like EVERYTHING is trying to stop you from making it to the end. But they won't stop the hope to revive Sonic!
Keeping on with the stage, the 4th section has Silver navigating through Sonic's portion of Dusty Desert, using his psychokinesis and hover abilities to make his way through the treacherous landscape and find the silver Chaos Emerald. And... well, I'm just gonna say this: I didn't like this section at all. Not one bit. Why is that, you may ask? Well, it's surprisingly simple, and it's a reason that'll come up again with another character not that far down the line:
SILVER IS SO FUCKING SLOW
I swear to God, he moves at the speed of freakin' molasses, and that's not exactly helpful when you're trying to dodge those Eyes that try to suck you in and KILL YOU IN ONE HIT. It's even worse when objects come flying out of nowhere, hit and knock you back and into the things you can't even see and give you no chance of escape! There are quite a few points where I was literally saying to my TV, "COME ON, MOVE IT, SILVER!!!" because he's just moving along at a strolling pace when he should be, I don't know... running to get the gem? Ugh.
Thank God he has the Teleport Dash upgrade you can buy for him in his story, as it'll be quite helpful when trying to escape the pull of Solaris. I believe this is the only time in the game I actually found that ability to be useful for him, because I barely remember using it AT ALL in his main story other than trying it out at various places in Soleanna's hub areas. But, anyways, you get through his section like all the ones before him and the ones after him: make it to the end and avoid any enemies that come in your way, using the orb thingies to temporarily cause the Eyes of DEATH to go away. Get the silver Emerald and meet up with the others!
The 5th section sends you to Tails' portion of Wave Ocean as you glide across the waterways with Rouge in search of the purple Emerald. You can use the same strategy here that you did with Knuckles since you don't need to worry about combat and should climb the pillars, jump off, and glide on through, only really landing to activate the orbs. Compared to Silver's section, this part is actually quite a breeze, so make your way to the gem like the good treasure hunter Rouge is and now there's only 2 more left to get!
Things are getting rather chilly, as now we're in White Acropolis for the 6th portion of the stage with Amy making her way towards the blue Emerald. She's finding herself on the lower route of Rouge's and Tails' segment, and she has to use her hammer and double jumping prowess to get by. 6th verse is somehow same as the 1st, so try to get by all the enemies doing as little combat as necessary and focus on using the orbs and making your way towards the Emerald. However, there's one major problem I have with this section that also happens with Silver, and it's that just like her partner, Amy is SO UNBELIVABLY SLOW. I don't know why this is, but this really bothers me especially when I'm trying to get away from the Death Eyes which still instantly kill you. The good news is that this section is relatively short-lived, so the pain doesn't last for very long. Get that blue diamond and now it's all up to the Ultimate Lifeform!
The 7th and final section of the stage revolves around Shadow as he makes his way through the ruins of Kingdom Valley to find the red Chaos Emerald, the last of them to be found. Much like Flame Core's segment, I have no idea which character's part of the stage you're going through, because I'm mainly trying to make it to the end of the stage. Just like before, make it to the end of the stage doing as little combat as possible and use the orbs to take out the Eyes of Solaris, ride the eagle, and complete the stage as you grab the final Chaos Emerald! And... that's a wrap on the End of the World!
Wow... what a stage. I will say this about it: Even though there were a few problems I had with this stage, which included the slowness of Silver and Amy, sometimes the wonkiness of the camera causing you to get hit by things you can't even see, and getting a Game Over on ANY section - yes, even the last Shadow section, which DID happen to me - causes you to do the ENTIRE thing again starting back at Tails' Crisis City segment. But those issues didn't stop me from enjoying the stage as a whole, as I did enjoy the gimmick of traversing through nearly every stage of the game (except for Aquatic Base and Radical Train) only with Solaris hot on your trail. This is one of those levels that would indeed work had this game been given more time in the oven, because this was quite the fun trek!
With the cast reunited and all 7 Chaos Emeralds gathered, Princess Elise says a prayer, wanting to talk to Sonic and save the world once again. She then kisses Sonic (why?...), and that, with the power of the gems, revives the blue hero and transforms him into Super Sonic. He thanks Elise as he falls to her knees, and then Shadow and Silver join in and transform themselves. With the 3 super-powered hedgehogs transformed, they blast off into the sky, everybody cheering them on from below.
And here it comes... the final battle. The battle is split into 2 phases and every character is used in their own way. You start with Super Silver and use the meteors that Solaris throws at you and damage his left arm. It may not do much damage, but keep it up and it will eventually shatter. From there, switch to Super Shadow and use the Chaos abilities he has and damage the right arm in the same way. Just remember to keep moving! Once that's done, switch to Super Sonic and keep boosting into the core and Phase 1 is complete!
However... it's not over yet. The god comes back up and goes absolutely out of control as an orchestrated version of "His World" plays in the background. You need to constantly switch between all 3 hedgehogs and deal damage to his core, but it's best if you attack it while it's firing a laser at you since it exposes the weak point. Silver may unfortunately not be of much use here, so you'll want to rely on Sonic and Shadow. However, keep it up and he goes down, ENDING SOLARIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!
As the 3 hedgehogs land back in front of the other heroes, time and space is restored and we eventually see the Duke and young Elise come across the true form of Solaris. He explains that once it grows, they can eventually get control of time and that Elise can eventually see her mother again. As they walk away, the current form of the Princess and Sonic walk up to the flame and take it into their hands. She says that if they were to blow it out, the Flames of Disaster incident would have never happened and that everything would continue on, but that she would have never met Sonic. She tears up slightly saying that the truth is that she doesn't care what happens to the world, but Sonic tells her to just smile and that it'll all be okay.
With that, she does so and blows out the flame, sending everything back to the Soleanna Festival that was seen at the start of the game. Sonic can be seen running by at one point, wanting to get a view. As he speeds by, he creates a wind which Elise calls somehow familiar to her. One of the feathers from her hair floats up into the air and passes in front of the moon, which Sonic is viewing from a rooftop, and the screen fades to black, ending Sonic '06.
And that's the game. Hard to believe it all ends with it acting like it never existed in the first place, but it all ends where it all began. I don't have anything else to say other than this game surprised me more than I initially thought it would. I came into this game expecting it to be bad and what I came across was something that had tons of potential that never got to be fleshed out.
So... what do I think about this game as a whole? Honestly... I simply don't know. It might take me a bit to decide what I truly think about it all, since this game did quite a few things good and a few things bad. But all I can say is, I'm glad I can finally put this game behind me and I don't have to play this game again... unless I decide to play Project '06 in the future, that is, and I probably will... once I find a way to.
Now, I think it's time I play a LOT of Sonic Generations. I'll see you all next time with another take on a new Sonic game!!

So I've written before and was really grateful to get some very supportive advice. But I'm feeling confused and stuck right now, so I'm hoping venting here might help in some way.
My Husband (Bipolar 2 with deep depression and suicidal ideation) has been making more of an effort recently. He doesn't work due to his illness, doesn't get out much and doesn't really do much around the home but he had to do some urgent DIY recently and that's spurred him on to do some tidying/cleaning/sorting out (we live in a pig-sty). He's also started coming more places with me, battling the anxiety to be around family who he hasn't seen for ages.
I noticed the effort, but I honestly have so much resentment, I was just feeling like it's too little too late. I'm so checked out, had no hope for the future & was 99% sure I was going to be leaving soon. I was planning on talking to him this week, telling him I'm not happy, kind of prepping him a bit I guess, so it doesn't come completely out the blue.
I haven't been able to say the words "I'm not happy" and I'm not sure I even have the balls to say it...but we have talked a bit more than normal about feeling fulfilled, how we experience life, etc. (for us this is positive - our communication is shit, I walk on eggshells to not upset him/send him into a spiral and I wonder if he avoids telling me some things so I don't worry as much).
I feel responsible for him, even though logically I know I'm not, he's a capable and intelligent grown ass man. But it's always in the back of my mind that he might end his life if we split (sounds egotistical but hopefully you all get what I mean).
Things have felt slightly better this last couple of days, like maybe the talking has helped. Maybe there's some tiny glimmer of hope that we can make things better, together.
But then I have to remind myself that earlier in the week he was so fucking patronising, and I was clearly frustrated but I just couldn't stand up for myself and tell him how it felt. He used to tell me I'm too sensitive. He's also called me lazy and selfish in the past, and he still alludes to my laziness despite me working fulltime and recently taking up exercise to try and improve my physical and mental health. These are all things I'd never dream of saying to him. Yet I seem to have no boundaries and let him say whatever he wants - sometimes he's teasing (or negging?) but sometimes it's more serious than that.
Anyway, I digress...I thought maybe that he had noticed or felt me pulling away recently. But from some of the chats we've had, I don't think he does.
However, there is the added complication that I gave into temptation when someone I was very attracted to made a move. I didn't sleep with him, I stopped myself going that far, but I wanted to. I lied to my Husband about exactly where I slept that night. After a few days the shock wore off and I felt no major regret or remorse. Ashamed to say, I still don't think I do. Even more ashamed to say I then told the guy I regretted telling him to stop and that I think I have proper feelings for him (still not sure if I do or if it's just a distracting infatuation). And then a few weeks later I shared a bed with someone else. Nothing happened but I'm pretty sure it could have. And again I lied about where I slept that night.
I've been with my Husband my entire adult life and never thought I would cheat. EVER. But I did. I crossed lines. And I lied to him to cover my own ass.
Even if we could fix this somehow, I feel like I would have to tell him what I did, otherwise everything we rebuilt would be based on lies. I think that would destroy him more than me just leaving because I'm unhappy and unfufilled.
I have to leave don't I.
I can't take back what I did.
I won't try and excuse it, I acted very selfishly and recklessly. It's not fair on him to string him along. I'm not the person he thinks I am.
I just don't know if I'm brave or strong enough to do this. I'm not scared of him but I think I'm scared of the conversation. Scared of hurting him. Scared he'll hate me. Scared I'll miss him and come to regret my decision to leave and my series of fuck up's that led to it.

It was a normal day on Earth, until the sky turned green and a loud croak echoed across the land. People looked up and saw thousands of giant frogs descending from the clouds, wearing helmets and carrying weapons. They were pepe, peepo and apu, the invaders from planet Kek.
The frogs landed on the ground and started to attack everything in sight. They smashed buildings, cars, trees and people with their fists, feet and tongues. They shot lasers, rockets and memes from their guns. They shouted "REEEE" and "Feels good man" as they caused chaos and destruction.
The humans tried to fight back, but they were no match for the frog army. The military, the police, the superheroes and even the aliens who were secretly living among us were quickly overwhelmed by the amphibian assault. The frogs had superior technology, numbers and memes. They also had a secret weapon: their hypnotic eyes.
Whenever a human looked into a frog's eyes, they would fall under their spell and become loyal to them. They would join the frog army and help them conquer the world. They would wear frog masks, clothes and accessories. They would adopt frog names, language and culture. They would worship pepe, peepo and apu as their gods.
Soon, there were more frogs than humans on Earth. The frogs claimed the planet as their own and renamed it Kekistan. They built statues, temples and monuments in honor of their leaders. They celebrated their victory with parties, dances and rituals. They lived happily ever after in their new home.
The End.

Incoming 1L. What can I do to prepare for the bar early? Or any tips for translating law school education to bar prep… I want to set myself up for success if possible

Hey everyone , building my first space wolves army. So far i have the space wolves combat patrol box ( 1 Primaris LT, 1 Invictor Tactical warsuit, 10 Intercessors, 5 hounds of morkai) and i also have a rune priest(librarian) and a cyberwolf. All for alittle under 650 pts. What would everyone here add to fill out a 1000pt and eventually a 2000pt list?? I was thinking of adding some melee units like wolf guard term/ blood claws or wulfen & than a long range heavy unit like a transport/dreadnought/tank ???

Ever since the update whenever I go into some of my saved worlds, the population is less then appears on the save file and it has noticeably decreased, i.e armies are smaller, etc. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

DONETSK REGION, Ukraine - Skimming the treetops, three Soviet-era attack helicopters bank and swoop down on a field after an early-morning mission to the front lines in the fight against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Each day, they might fly three or four sorties, says the commander, whose two-crew Mi-24 helicopter, built about 40 years ago, is older than he is.
The conflict in Ukraine is largely an artillery war, with territory being fought for inch by inch under a barrage of shells and missiles.
Ukraine's aviation capabilities play a significant role in the fight, the pilot said.
ADVERTISEMENT. "The importance of the helicopters is huge," said the commander, who is part of Ukraine's 12th Army Aviation Brigade.
Several countries, including the United States and Britain, have pledged to send, or have already sent, helicopters to Ukraine as part of military aid since the start of the war sparked by Russia's invasion in Feb 2022.

It's semi finals in playoffs tomorrow and I'm very nervous. I'm a D and out of the 4 D on my team I'm like #1 defensively and #2 offensively. There's so much on this game cause this is a team we have beaten only 2 times and tied once. It's my last year in Bantam and I have never gotten gold or even silver so I'm VERY nervous cause my team is counting on me and if I don't win I'm going to get shredded at school cause I go to school with kids from the other team. So my dignity is kind of riding on this game. I have done what I can to prep like practice my shot and look at defensive tips. I just want to know how I can stay calm cause I get overwhelmed fast in hockey

I’m planning out what to purchase for my SCE collection and I want to run my army as Stormkeep SCE and was wondering what would be a good direction to take my Hallowed Knights towards.
I own the Dominion box set as well as Gardus, and was mostly thinking that I want my army to be tanky and have some teeth to it to take to a LGS tournament every once in awhile. With that in mind, which units should I consider adding?

I finished Cathay recently and then went back to do wulfrick as well. Had fun with lizards and skaven back in wh2 but just looking for armies with more interesting tactics
