My name is Cody Hartman, and three years ago I learned how quickly a road can stop being a road. I was twenty-nine then, a paramedic out of Columbus, working night shifts on a county medic unit that spent half its life parked outside apartment complexes and the other half weaving through rain with the siren on. I was used to chaos in a controlled environment. Cardiac arrests. Overdoses. Wrecks where everything smelled like coolant and blood and deployed airbags. I knew how to function when things went wrong because, usually, there were rules. A location. A dispatch record. A hospital ten minutes away. A police report. Something official that said this happened here, at this time, to these p...

I'm sure this is seen as a silly question as both are owned by the Waltons and share the same products. The question is more of the customer base and layout of the store. I usually can only stomach going to Walmart once a year because of the people. Wearing stained pajamas and eating nachos while taking up the entire aisle. Bellies hanging over their cart while they walk as slow as possible. Wild animals, reprobates with no where to go and no where to be. My blood pressure starts to rise just by being in the store for more than ten minutes. The checkouts are sometimes way too long also, even at the self checkout. So many people need help, they might as well go to a cashier but there...

Today, I am “celebrating” my 21st birthday though I have an external hemorrhoid, am on my period and a difficult mother who has still been screaming in spite of the fact that it is my birthday. It is hard for me to believe that I am going to be that old (though I know that 21 is of course not actually “old.” Old to me right now would be someone who is in their mid-thirties and beyond,) and I suspect that I feel that way in part because of a developmental delay I may have experienced as a result of immense trauma in my youth. When I was newly 14, a family member had almost hit me with a tennis racket. I always knew that they intended to seriously harm me, but when I saw a therapist a...

Before I start, everytime I tell someone close of mine my current situation they get stunned so my story right now could either intrigue you to reading more or bore you. But if you put yourself in my position and imagine you’re going through this situation through my lens you would truly see how insane it is. This will be a long read but I really want the readers to hear me out as this is the first time I’ve publicly spoken about my situation. I needed to let my current situation be heard so I hear from others with no bias what they think. If you don’t mind please listen to context and tell me if it’s still a good idea to try to get back or if I should leave her and if I should how...

Blackjack: [Blackjack - Pebble Appstore](https://apps.repebble.com/9dfa9b51de8c435583370427) Blackjack source code: [GitHub - Joel256/Pebble-Blackjack: Tradition Blackjack for Pebble watches. Player vs Dealer, Single deck. Fast paced. · GitHub](https://github.com/Joel256/Pebble-Blackjack) I just published my first Pebble app! It’s Blackjack for Pebble! I was inspired by the Blackjack game on the Ollee watch modded Casio A158-W watch I have. When I first started using that watch, I did not expect to care for the Blackjack game but it quickly became something I used frequently at work while waiting on loading screens as a substitute for reaching for my phone. It loaded instantly, you co...

At my sister’s new apartment setup I started thinking seriously about buying a couch. At first it seemed like a central piece for both comfort and style. Local furniture stores had many options but most looked either overpriced or less comfortable. I thought having a good couch could transform the living area completely. But I remembered buying a sofa before that looked appealing in the store but ended up sagging quickly and feeling uncomfortable. That experience was disappointing and made me more cautious. Even small factors like cushioning, fabric quality, and build durability started to matter more. To explore better options I began researching online. While casually scrolling online ...

Please let me know if this kind of post is not allowed, I've looked at a ton of threads on here and I'm hoping you guys can help me! I've been using the old [Adidas Defender](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JX61DRK) as my gym backpack (jiujitsu) for a while. Lately I've gone down a rabbit hole looking for a potential upgrade, and not having much luck. Maybe I'm too picky. What I want: * Spacious * Easy to access and see what's in the bag (can set it down on the ground half-open and see inside. I prefer half zip over clamshell opening for this reason) * Good ventilation for sweaty clothes * Separate laptop compartment (NOT an internal sleeve) with space for...

V8, manual transmission, rwd, great exhaust sound, and so sexy. But **** am I having so much fun driving my Prius C. I'm spending more time in downtown Oakland and San Francisco because I know I can snag parking much easier. I treat my Prius like a go kart driving in the city knowing I can fit without having to make wide turns. And with its torque, I'm beating every car. I'm even giving Teslas a run for their money...for the first 100 feet. I've made a few drivers turn aggressive after a stop light because they can't believe my car beat them off the line onto the next red light. But the best part is: I used to spend $80 a week when it was around $3.50/gal. I j...

My wife and I host a couple of holidays throughout the year - Easter being one of them. We have 2 kids and host for a total of 17ish people. Before the event there’s always a ton of cleaning, cooking, preparing, getting ourselves and kids dressed, etc. Every event my wife’s brother and girlfriend show up an hour to and hour and a half early - today was a hour and a half. I was coming back from the store when she texted me that they were 20 mins away. When I got home I didn’t yell but was clearly annoyed and told her outright it’s rude to show up that early to someone’s home. In hindsight I feel bad about it, they got here way before we were ready but we just got ready around them...

# **The Chinese tech giant has filed a patent for a solid state battery that makes extraordinary claims. The chemistry is real. The numbers are theoretical. The gap between those two things matters.** Huawei is not a car company. It is not a battery manufacturer. What it is, increasingly, is a company filing patents in territories where it wants to be taken seriously in the future. Its latest submission to that category is a doozy. As reported by [CarNewsChina](https://carnewschina.com/2025/06/18/huaweis-3000km-solid-state-battery-patent-with-5-minute-charge-ignites-industry-race/) and covered by [Top Gear](https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/can-huaweis-next-gen-ev-battery-reall...

Awkwafina didn’t just dress for the *Kung Fu Panda 4* press tour—she engineered every look from the ground up. At 5'1", she leans into chunky platforms, sculptural heels, and statement boots to control proportion and presence. Instead of letting clothes dictate the silhouette, her shoes set the structure first. From knee-high platform boots paired with a quilted Simkhai set to metallic Larroudé heels anchoring a feathered red-carpet dress, every choice feels deliberate—and functional. It’s less about trends and more about balance, height, and visual weight. Full breakdown of how she uses footwear to shape every outfit: [https://www.yournextshoes.com/awkwafina-jack-bl...

Tried a different direction with Seedance V2 — more character-driven, less action. The idea was simple: build tension like a serious romantic scene, then let it slowly fall apart through small details. 1. Go to the [**Seedance 2 Video Generator**](https://imageat.com/seedance-2-video-generator) 2. Write your full prompt or add reference images 3. Upload the image you want to animate 4. Click **Generate** and get your animated video # Prompt: "Character tone: high-end romantic comedy, deadpan flirtation, over-serious male lead, quick-witted female lead, cinematic realism, sweet-chaotic chemistry, every frame like a poster Male lead: bespoke black suit, white shirt collar sligh...

I wanted to upgrade my 3070 prebuilt to a 5070ti build, but given current prices thought buying the parts and doing it wasn't a good option. Was considering prebuilts and posted about one a few days ago. But then I saw a bundle deal from Canada Computers for a Gigabyte Eagle AX mobo + 32GB 6000 CL30 ram + Ryzen 7600x3D for 800 CAD (510 less than parts together). Also had an in-store deal for the 5070ti (1300 CAD instead of 1,450 online). Given that I liked my current case, just replaced my PSU after the original died a couple years ago, and current SSD prices, I decided to just replace the core components and jumped on it. The Canada Computers location was a bit of a trek but it was f...

I just noticed that my Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic paints seem to reactivate when I even just gently brush over them with a normal brush and a little water. Not scrubbing, not using any chemicals (including paint), just water... I'd call myself an intermediate miniature painter, but I'm not ruling out I'm doing something wrong just yet. Please help me understand this. I've used paints from Citadel (about 20 years ago, no recent ones), Vallejo, AK, Army Painter, Pro Acryl, and a couple of artist paint brands like Reeves, Windsor & Newton, Amsterdam, and El Greco. I never noticed any of the other brands to be reactivating this easily. I first noticed it with ...

At a themed party invitation I received recently I started thinking about 80s dresses. The idea sounded exciting because of the bold colors and unique styles from that era. Local stores had very few options and most of them looked outdated rather than stylish. But I remembered trying themed outfits before that looked interesting but felt uncomfortable or awkward to wear. That experience was disappointing and made me more thoughtful this time. Even small aspects like fabric comfort and overall fit became important. To explore better options I started looking online. While casually scrolling online marketplaces including alibaba I found many 80s dresses in different styles patterns and price...
