Quantum a sci fi story by Richard Helsdown QUANTUM CHAPTER 1: THE VAULT DISCOVERY (1945–1985) Antarctica, 1945 – The First Unfolding The wind didn’t howl. It held its breath. Beneath a forgotten glacier, hidden from every map, lay a vault that was never meant to be opened again. David Solomon steadied the frequency emitter. Gabrielle Moreau scanned the torus-like symbols etched into frozen steel. Michael Carter, younger than both but with eyes aged by theory, whispered, “It’s not a lock. It’s a pattern.” They activated the resonance. The door didn’t open. It unfolded— as if remembering how. Inside the Nazi Vault – Echoes of the Unknown The vault was no bunker...

Hey hey people, I might've found a way to get infinite wishes in dnd without backlash to yourself, we'll be going by 5e rules, but I don't see why it wouldn't work in later versions, so let's begin. 1- be a level 17 wizard or genie warlock, the latter will make the process much faster, but you need the geas spell ( or some other enchantment spells ), so if you don't have a high level wizard best pal to commit human rights violations with, better be a wizard. Level 17 wizards are immortal anyways, so time doesn't really matter. 2- have a diamond spell gem ( a legendary item capable of storing a 9th level spell or below ), craft it, steal it, whatever....

I have been playing with this medium for about a year, avid BBQer, griller, charcoal lover, but became enamored with the technique when I was in Kanazawa and watched a yakitori chef do his magic. Got a station, bought some binchotan, screwed up more than once, but kept at it and got 'okay' at it. Now I am in Japan, Odawara to be specific, and am setting up my rig again. One of the things that really didn't sit well with me was the quality of the birds that I was getting in the states. I won't name the big chain of stores but will say that their chicken doesn't taste like the chicken that I remember in my youth. So what do you do... I started going to the farmers ma...

First time poster here. Any advice on how to salvage a broken resin cast? I made this keychain cast from a basic mold I got from amazon (and resin which I cannot remember the brand of, from a craft store). The hole originally caused a crack which the keychain ring was and broke off. Then we drilled a separate hole, which has now also broke off. I’d like to attempt recasting what I have but I’m not sure if it will ruin the integrity of the cast. I have very little experience with resin casting and this has been my first project. Mold used : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BR5PSTGV Open to any and every suggestion.

A Fabergé locket worth more than $33,500, swallowed by a man during an alleged theft at an Auckland jewellery store, has been "recovered". Police had been called at 3.30pm last Friday to the store in Auckland city where a man was accused of picking up a Fabergé [James Bond Octopussy Egg pendant and swallowing it](https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/580613/man-charged-after-allegedly-swallowing-a-pendant-at-an-auckland-jewellers).

So, being the events person at my store for a good year we do tend to have good turnout for events. Yet i’ve not had a birthday party. We got one scheduled next week and honestly i’m feeling pretty overwhelmed and confused. I’ve talked to my SM about different questions, but i’m still overwhelmed by it. Is there anything really important I need to remember? Any good tips you guys could give me for those that have done birthday parties? As for some questions I have, at the end I know some kids may not finish their craft so I already had plans to give them baggies with the materials to complete it at home. But do I keep the kids in the classroom until their parents arrive? I know the...

While writing an essay on the influence of East Asian media, I realized just how profoundly the works of Osamu Tezuka and Akira Toriyama reshaped the landscape of manga and comics. Osamu Tezuka, often called “The God of Manga”, did not single-handedly invent the medium, but he defined its modern form so completely that he is frequently treated as its origin point. His innovations in paneling, pacing, cinematic framing, and character design became the foundation of what we now recognize as manga. Tezuka’s works have been adapted across multiple eras, and it is difficult to imagine science fiction, adventure, or action storytelling in books, comics/manga, or animation looking the same w...

We have all been there: signing up for a 'free trial' of an app or service, thinking it is just a simple click. But as I sit here with my evening chai, I have been thinking about how these seemingly convenient subscription models are often designed with hidden psychological traps, making it incredibly hard to quit. It is not just about value anymore; it is about subtle manipulation. This is where 'dark patterns' come into play. These are user interface (UI) designs intentionally crafted to trick users into choices they might not otherwise make, like accidentally signing up for a subscription or making cancellation a nightmare. Harry Brignull, the UX (User Experience) des...

Throwing my hat back into the ring after taking a break, we’re going to take a look at what some in the fandom as been calling a Fraud and helping them shake off this title by allowing them to reach full potential.   **That character in question is Hajime Kashimo - God of lightning** But, seriously, I genuinely believe that Kashimo’s character was overlooked. While it's clear that narratively he was served as first-grade cannon fodder on a gold-plated platter for Sukuna, who basically just Aura farmed to his second stage and procided to dog Kashimo, I think this was unnecessary, as instead of Kashimo heading out first,  Yuji and Hiromi could have ahead of Kashimo, and have st...

(0.8.2c) On the main menu, it says I have 11 mods loaded, but when loading into a game only 5 get loaded. Tried making new saves, but same thing. https://preview.redd.it/j71h6imtvb5g1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=8340272528259cf918208db6f9fa2a94f997fcfa https://preview.redd.it/ikc27088wb5g1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=301d161095d9aa3eba3d3063ffb5478f081fabb1

I’m releasing an early beta of AdMining, a mining-themed idle and strategy game built around progression, rig management, and a future sats-based reward system. I’m looking for testers who can try it out, push the limits, and give straightforward feedback from a crypto-savvy perspective. How to join the beta Google requires all testers to be part of a private group before the app can be installed. Here are the two steps: Step 1: Join the tester group [https://groups.google.com/g/adminingtesters](https://groups.google.com/g/adminingtesters) Step 2: Install AdMining from Google Play [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.cyberwiz.adminer](https://play.google.com/store/a...

As an OG fan who has been around since Markiplier's very first playthroughs, I can't help but feel like this sequel hasn't evolved at all from the first movie. I was expecting something much better, especially knowing that some of my favorites like Charlotte and Henry were finally being included. The biggest problem with *FNAF 2* is that it plays out like a movie written by Reddit theorists. It feels like Scott Cawthon’s script prioritizes servicing the franchise's convoluted mythology over actually crafting a coherent story. The sequel tries to stuff as many storylines and characters as possible into the runtime, only to rush through everything at breakneck speed by ...

The 2nd Fnaf movie is like "Help Wanted"? This post contains spoilers, so if you haven't seen the movie, I recommend watching it. Today I saw the Fnaf 2 movie in the cinema and I couldn't help but notice that the canon of the games was not only shattered, but that the events are told differently, with some clear events that did happen but others with very abrupt changes. I think the theory is well known that Help Wanted is an augmented reality game within the fnaf universe, where Fazbear's tried to make the legend of his restaurants a horror game; where Vanessa (the security breach guard) was a beta tester. *I won't go into details with that theory* My theor...

So first off: I'm coming to realize how unfathomably fortunate I've been, and profoundly grateful for it. Second, this turned out wayyyy longer than I intended. Sorry! (If you don't care, I get it. I probably wouldn't either.) Anyway, I've got a couple questions at the end if you want to just skip down. My mom passed away a few years ago. She and I had a complicated relationship, especially since I got married and became a dad, but I do have a lot of fond memories from when I was very young (5 or so, in the mid-80s) of my mom and her sewing machine. I remember her taking me to with her to various sewing and upholstery shops to pick up supplies for her at-home custom...

I'm looking for a specific yarn that is heavy in weight. Years ago I made a blanket with a heavy yarn using the moss stitch and it's amazing, like as heavy as a weighted blanket but I cannot for the life of me remember what yarn I used. I know I had gotten it at Michael's, it was #5 and probably polyester but I've looked in stores and online and I can't find it. Recently I made one with thick wool yarn which was nice but not heavy enough. If you've made a nice and heavy blanket lately, what yarn did you use? Like the specific name and brand. Appreciated!!
