2023.03.30 16:48 BenFromPerth23 Target Audio Levels when one actor is shouting and another is whispering?

Hey guys, I’m mixing a short narrative scene (all in Fairlight in DaVinci Resolve), and from what I understand, dialogue should typically sit at -10db to -15db. But I’m a little confused about how that works in practice when an actor may be speaking normally one minute and shouting the next.
So I’m just wondering if anyone could guide me about:
1. Where to place the audio levels when: - Person A is speaking normally. - Person B is shouting. - Person C is Whispering. - Person D starts their sentence soft but suddenly shouts part of their line. - Person E is shouting at the top of their lungs, but they’re far away.
2. Is that when I’d use a compressor or limiter or something else?
3. Where would you place a scene that consisted entirely of yelling (like someone trying to be heard over gunfire), or of whispering (Avoiding monsters)? Would the dialogue still sit in the “normal” -10db to -15db? Will the ear still understand that someone is whispering even if the dialogue is "loud", or someone is shouting if it's at the same volume as regular speech if it sounds like a "shout"? Or is it acceptable / better to place whispers at something like -20db and shouts at -5db?
4. As for the other audio (SFX and Music), and the overall mix, are there standard levels I should be aware of here? (I have MDR-7506 headphones and Rockit 5 monitors, so I figure I can mostly just trust my ears to make sure it all sits correctly together, right?).
5. One resource I found mentioned that the overall mix level should sit at -10db to -14db. But wouldn’t that potentially leave 10db of unused headroom and make the overall mix unnecessarily quiet? Why wouldn’t someone aim for as loud as possible without clipping (unless that raises the noise floor too much?), and let end users set their volumes lower?
Thanks!
If it matters, for this particular project I don’t have a deliverable in mind, but it will likely just end up on YouTube, Vimeo, or another hosting service. But I’d still like to learn some best practices for this kind of thing. So in addition to your awesome info, any books or courses on you could recommend would be amazing. :) (I’d rather learn concepts than software, but if the software is important I’d be leaning towards Fairlight for now, or Protools since I’ll likely go down that path if I ever end up getting more involved with this).

2023.03.30 16:48 Revolutionary-You-35 Looking for help/advice for first ever build

This is my first time ever posting something like this here on this reddit or really posting anything really on reddit so I'm sorry if I don't add enough information about the build I'm going for or if I type this post weirdly.
Alright with that out the way. I am trying to build a PC for the first time for gaming at 1080p (The games I would like to play are Elden ring, maybe Cyberpunk, Valorant, and maybe some Minecraft with mods) and streaming and I've done a bit of research on what I want out of this and I will try to explain what I'm trying to go for with this build. I don't really have a budget but that doesn't mean I'm not trying to save money where I can which is one of the reasons why I'm asking for help and/or tips. The main reason I picked some of these parts is so I could later on upgrade stuff like the CPU or GPU. The CPU I want to use for now is the Ryzen 5 5600 and later down the line like in maybe 3~4 years go for something like the 5800x3d which I would like to pair with I suppose a Nvidia 4000 GPU or maybe a 3080 3090. I'm not really sure what I would want or what would be a good combo CPU and GPU for the more higher tier GPUS but basically I want this current build to have a future where I can use the more powerful GPUS without having to replace a lot of the other parts.
First up the reason I went with a 5600 CPU is because I wanted a cheap enough chip that I could use with my current 3060 GPU and that it wont bottleneck it. The price I'm getting it at is $129.99 plus some tax but I might be able to get it $25 off I'm not sure yet.
I didn't include a cooler cause I plan to use the included cooler for a while just to save some money for the time being and later maybe buy a AIO if I see the temps being high and also for looks or Ill pick a Air Cooler I don't really know yet.
The reason I picked this motherboard is for the WIFI because my internet box isn't close by to connect it and it has bios flashback that will let me use the 5800x3d or any other 5000 series CPU. I also just simply like how it looks. The price I can get it for is $149.99 plus tax which seems pretty good unless anyone thinks I could get something even cheaper with WIFI and bios flashback that lets me upgrade to a 5800x3d later on (and it looks nice enough).
The ram was mostly picked for looks but I heard that 3200 CL16 is a good type to get so that's why I picked what I did. The price is $54.02 plus some tax so if you have any advice for the ram please let me know.
Now I know the SSD is maybe overkill but I just picked it to use my PCIe4 slot with something good so I wouldn't need to upgrade it or anything and it has enough storage for a good while I think. The price is about $74.20 including tax so if I could go cheaper then please leave some suggestions and why.
For the GPU I went with the Nvidia 3060 because I thought it was going to cost $340 but then it went up to $360.36 including tax so that was a let down but I still think its a ok price for what it is. Now I know I could have gone with AMD or maybe Intel ARC to spend less for more or less the same performance but I would like to stream and Nvidia GPUS are I believe better for such task but unless I'm missing something please let me know.
I just like the case and it comes with 3 RGB fans and a hub for the fans so that's nice plus some cable management. Now the case itself cost $104.90 including tax compared to how much it normally cost ($129.99) but that's cos I'm getting used so that's why its that price plus its missing a PCIE SLOT COVER (a PCIE SLOT COVER is where the GPU ports are located I believe) so I'm going to inspect it in person and see if I should get it otherwise I might go with something like a black NZXT H5 Flow Tempered Glass Case(I don't know what fans I would need for that case so if you know please let me know just in case).
So I put down a 3 pack of Corsair fans with a hub because the total is $70 vs buying just the 3 fans for $72.57 so why not go cheaper plus I believe they are the same as the ones included with the case so it should be easy to setup but I'm not sure since this would be my fist build(I would need to change these if I need to change case to the NZXT so if you know which ones they are please let me know).
And Finally the power supply. So I went with 650w for $89.99 even though that isn't really future proof for a stronger GPU. I don't really know what power supplies would last me a long time and would work for something like a 3080, 3090, or 4000 series GPU in the future. I know I would need more power if I were to upgrade like a 750w, 850w PSU but I'm not really sure. If you could help me with recommendations for a low price but good quality PSU please let me know.
Ohh yeah and I picked the monitor for 1080p 165HZ which cost $127.96 since the monitor I have now is like 10 years old so I figured its time to upgrade(and I can use the old one as a second monitor).
The total amount for everything is about $1185.87 so let me know if I could do better or if this is a good list of parts for future upgrades and what I'm doing correct or incorrectly.

2023.03.30 16:48 Ok-Strawberry-6993 Is my (29f) boyfriend’s (34m) female friend (26f) being passive aggressive? He doesn’t think so but I do.

So my boyfriend has this friend who we started off on great terms but over time she seemed to shade me a bit with micro aggressions, like individually they could all be one-offs of weird encounters, but when I recall them collectively they make me not want to be around her.
For example, we were all with a group of friends and she wanted to go to another party, my boyfriend was being iffy about it but was down for whatever I wanted to do. I wanted the group to stay together, so I told her we would come with her, and she says with a condescending tone, “oh, so it’s all up to you?” First time.
Another time, we met up with her at a club she was DJing at and she was speaking with my boyfriend and didn’t even acknowledge me. My bf mentioned we came with another friend, who was standing beyond me at the other end of the bar and she turns past me to wave hello to him. She continues convo with my bf and I just stand there like a third wheeler for five minutes. When she was leaving she hugged my boyfriend and then me good bye, that was it.
There were a few other things between these but I will spare them..
But the biggest one to me was for her birthday, she threw a boat party. This was just before he became my boyfriend - we had been more-than-friends for about a year and that’s how long I’d known this woman for. Boyfriend was invited and pitched in $ for the party. He asked if I could come and the friend said no it’s limited capacity but if someone else on the guest list doesn’t come, then I’m welcome to. He relayed this info to me at the time. It didn’t sit well with me, considering all the passive-aggression I perceived from her in the past. It was a weekend in summer, so I wasn’t keeping the day free for a possible last-minute invite - which is exactly what ended up happening. The day of, some people bailed and she told my boyfriend I could come.
These things all happened several months back but I never brought it up to him because I can tell he’s a huge fan of hers and I didn’t feel I had enough of a case. I’ve managed to avoid her. It feels like too long ago now to address her directly. But I wanted him to know so if I do ever decide to be around her again, he can look out for me.
So recently, I tried to explain to my boyfriend my thoughts on everything, and that the boat party invite was rude. Seemed like she invited me in a way that there’s the slightest chance I could make it. My boyfriend thinks the way she invited me wasn’t rude at all. She’s his friend, we weren’t officially together at the time so she didn’t need to extend the invite (true). I just think if it were my party, and I didn’t invite someone, I wouldn’t tell them they could come if others don’t show. I believe that is rude. We have been arguing about this simple fact for almost 2 days. I think his impenetrable defensiveness over this person while simultaneously painting me as immature is really setting me off.
He doesn’t believe any of the interactions I experienced were malicious or passive aggressive, and has spoken for her saying she was not intending to be rude since she hasn’t explicitly said she has an animosity toward me.
I’m not really sure where to go from here. I feel like he doesn’t trust my instinct whatsoever and for some reasons strongly believes this person could do no wrong. Am I reading too much into her behaviour? What are your thoughts?
TLDR; my boyfriend has a female friend whose actions seem passive aggressive toward me, most of all inviting me to her birthday only if others can’t make it. When I vocalized it to him he says I’m immature and since she hasn’t explicitly expressed animosity, she’s not being rude.

2023.03.30 16:48 Cencourang What Synergy/Item that can transform Chess Piece? (in this case, Whisper Seer)

What Synergy/Item that can transform Chess Piece? (in this case, Whisper Seer)
In this run, I found this opponent. Where somehow his/her Whisper Seer transform into Fallen Witcher.
At first, I saw 2 Fallen Witcher on the board (when I fought him), 1 *2 (the real one) and 1 *3 (that actually Whisper Seer). It hit quite hard too (top of damage board).
Checking the item or the synergy, none of description tell any transformation. And IIRC, the only synergy that gave transformation effect was Shaman only. So how? Is this new patch from item, synergy or what? NGL, Its look kinda OP, because on mid stage, he/her literally have 2 Fallen Witcher, and one of them is *3.

2023.03.30 16:47 ChromeWeasel Need home network help

TLDR: how do I open up my home network to make sure some default settings aren't causing communication problems? Seems like the Edgerouter came with firewall settings, plus may be doing something else that affects internal communications.
LONG VERSION: I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my home network. I'm not sure how to start debugging things. I think there are some communications blocked somewhere in the network and I want to open everything up as much as possible as next step.
Hardware is mostly Ubiquiti: Cloudkey UCKV31.1.19, EdgeRouter X v2.0.9-hotfix.6 , and wifi via UAP-AC-Pro and AP-AC-LR:2F5D. There are several non-Ubiquiti switches to carry ethernet to most rooms.
I suspect an issue on the Edgerouter since I have problems on both wifi and ethernet. I noticed there were 2 firewall rules (eth0/in, eth0/local) I changed Default Action to accept but havent seen a difference.
Network mostly works OK with a few problems:
  1. Wifi has major problems at night:
    1. I notice it on the phone after 10PM, data loads slow and sometimes not at all. I can reset the ONT or the Edgerouter to make things work better, but it lasts only a day or so. This is a really consistent problem.
  2. Printer communication issues:
    1. My Brother scanneprinter has always had issues staying connected. It times out in about 5 minutes while in use. I thought this was a printer problem but it works fine via USB. I've used both ethernet and wifi and in either case it works OK after a reboot but becomes unavailable in about 5-10 minutes even when in use (no sleep)
  3. Other communication issues
    1. I've been unable to share between LINUX and Windows PCs. May or may not be related but again a consistent problem that I now think may be related to network
    2. I've had some weird issues trying to update the access points in the past.
I dont know where to start in order to debug things. It seems like I should remove the Edgerouter firewall completely to begin with. I dont know why I want a network firewall at home. Past that, any other advice on gotchas for the Edgerouter would be helpful. I dont think I made any config changes on it since I set it up.
Appreciate any advice!

2023.03.30 16:47 Bert_Skrrtz Final Punch - Water Closet Supply Piping was warm...

Weirdest thing happened on a site walk yesterday. Standalone restroom building - we replaced the flush valves, re-routed some existing water piping, and added a recirc pump and new tankless WH.
Project located in a cold region with snow run-off feeding the city water system - all to say we have some cold incoming water.
I was checking some of the new toilets to ensure the flush valves were operating. These are the concealed flush valves where the operator is on the wet wall side, and then a chrome pipe stubs through and hits the top spud of the toilet. I was checking to see how well the pipe was secure and when I did it felt oddly warm. I checked another, warm as well. Had my electrical counterpart feel and he said it was warm. We went over to an exposed CW pipe and it was very cold. Started tracing the piping and it certainly did not seem the contractor hooked it up to the HW.
I investigated a few more things, and then I finally called the GC and owner over. He said nothing felt warm, I had him flush them a few times, and then I felt - no more warmth...
I of course got a bit embarrassed, and if I hadn't had my electrical guy also check it out I would probably think I was losing my mind. Should I just let this go? I can't think of any other way to explain it, other than perhaps there is some cross mixing in the hot and cold system...

2023.03.30 16:47 Visual-Departure-623 How to speak with a loved one who has passed?

Hello all. I’m a newbie.
My best friend, my soul mate, passed away March 8 2020. I have received signs from him, but that’s as much as i’ve gotten. Id like to speak with a medium to try and speak to him. We had our first argument in 7 years 3 days before he passed away, and i didn’t get to say goodbye to him. I feel a huge weight of guilt and sorrow and i’ve carried it this entire time. I miss him is an understatement.
I saw where souls can not be ready or may not want to speak to you. I’m scared this will happen. Is there anything I can do to see if he is here, and willing to speak to me? I just want to apologize for what I said, and tell him I love him.
I’ve just discovered Mediums, what they do, stand for, and mean. So very interesting. If anyone can shed light please do.
Thank you.

2023.03.30 16:47 Magicide Questioning why people hate shiftwork?

I love the threads where people leave or even better screw over shitty employers but over the years I've never understood the frequent hatred for 12 hour shifts on this sub. I work as a Homer Simpson type role in the power industry and love working 12's.
Admittedly the industry pays well, is unionized and pays double time for OT which there is as much as you are willing to take. But after working a 12 houday schedule for years where I work 10/14 days and then have 10/14 off every 28 days I wouldn't trade it for the world. With vacation and banked OT I can take 18+ days off 6-7 times a year and do stuff or just spend time with family. I'm sure shift work is doing a toll on me but I'll happily pay it.

2023.03.30 16:46 firstheir Does expending an items charge to cast a spell via a command word require the wielders intent per RAW?

My party and I enjoy some fun casual rule lawyering here and there, it’s not done in a rude or aggressive way and pretty much translates to how we talk to eachother about things outside of playing as well. I plan on introducing a magical item that can expend charges to cast spells with a command word.
I’m not dead set on it but I’d love for them to find it with the command word written somewhere near it and for the to pick it up and say the command word not realizing what the word did, and setting off the spell.
I realize that homebrew items inherently don’t perfectly conform to rules as written rulings, but was wondering if there’s ever been a distinction made in the rules that a spell that is cast by using a magical item and saying the command word, regardless of the wielders intent to cast a spell.
An example would be a wand of fireballs where the command word to expend a charge is “fireball”. If a player is holding the wand and says “fireball”, does the spell go off? Or would the player need to be intending to cast the spell fireball for its effects to take place? If they’re having a conversation with a town guard while twiddling the wand and go “oh you should’ve seen the fireball I threw the other day” do they blast themselves and the guard on accident, or do they need to be intending to cast the spell for it to happen?

THE STORY SO FAR
“It's not fair,” you mumble to yourself as you push the shelving cart down the aisle. Gabe started that fight, but Mrs. Vile, the evil librarian, gave you detention. He should be here, not you.
Passing a window, you glance outside. School has only been out for a few minutes. But you’ve been working for ages. Evil Librarian put you to work before the busses pulled out of the drive.
But now, you can see the parking lot. Though many of the cars are gone, many of your classmates are still around. Your friends are in their usual spot, gathered around Grayson’s minivan, laughing and smiling. You can imagine what they're saying.
"What do you want to do this afternoon?"
"Where should we go?"
And, of course, Avery would be asking, "Hey. Did anyone catch tonight's math homework?"
Your gaze drifts across the parking lot to trees on the far end. Gabe and his buddies are sitting on the curb, passing around their phones. Probably sharing the same viral video Gabe showed you during study hall. The one his buddy posted during lunch. The one that shows you tripping and falling face-first onto your tray of mashed potatoes. The one that doesn’t show Gabe sticking out his foot as you passed.
Your blood boils at the thought.
"Ahem."
You turn at the voice. Mrs. Vile is standing at the head of the aisle, glaring at you over the glasses resting on the tip of her prominent nose. Though she says nothing, you hear her earlier words ringing loud and clear.
“You are not dismissed until every book is returned to its proper place.”
Saying nothing, you return to your cart and continue pushing it down the aisle. It isn't fair. Why does Gabe get to enjoy a sunny afternoon while you have to re-shelve library books in the darkest recesses of the library?
And why are these books even on the cart? It's not like anyone even reads them. You come here every day for study hall and you have never once seen a person holding a book. Students only come in here to use the computers.
With a sigh, you glance at the book you are still holding. The number on the spine says it belongs in 615. Where are you, anyway?
You glance at the books beside you. 249. Ugh. Where is 615?
Tossing the book back on the pile with a sigh, you push the cart to the end of the aisle, where the last call number is 252. Is it your imagination or is it getting darker the further you walk? A shiver runs down your spine and you pull out your phone. "I'm just checking the time," you tell yourself.
Yeah, right. You can't hide from yourself. Besides, it doesn’t help. The dim light doesn’t provide much comfort.
To distract yourself, you again glance at the books on your cart. Maybe you should have organized them before disappearing into the stacks. If you put them in order, you won't have to zigzag your way through the shelves. Maybe you'll even finish your detention with enough time to enjoy the afternoon sunshine.
Bolstered by this idea, you grab two books from your cart and examine the numbers on the spine. 432 definitely goes before 920. Placing the dictionary in front of the biography, you arrange them on the opposite side of the cart and pick up the next two books.
It takes hours to sort all the books, though your phone says it has been less than five minutes. Finally, you pick up the last two books. Both books, nearly identical, easily the two largest books on the cart. In fact, each one looks at least twice as large as the next largest books.
Curious, you glance at their spines. Fiction, with the same call number. NFR.
You frown. You’re no librarian, but your elementary school librarian had drilled the Dewey Decimal System into your head. Fiction books were arranged by author last names. What kind of name began NFR?
Intrigued, you turn over the books. Their fabric hardcovers have no illustrations. The only difference between the two books is their color and the gold words stamped on the front cover.
The title of one of them catches your attention. Which is it?
  • The book on your left, a contemporary adventure about camping.
  • The book on your right, a fantasy about dragons and elves.
The gold lettering on the black book in your right hand stands out clearly. Adventures In the Land of Dragons and Elves. Curious, you open the front cover.
The title is printed in large bold letters on the first page. But no author is listed. Instead, someone has scrawled across the page in large letters: Not For Reading!
You frown at the book. That’s stupid. Why would someone write a book that wasn’t meant to be read? Or maybe the person who scribbled the note didn’t want to read it.
But why not? What could be so bad? Reading the warning just makes you want to read the book that much more.
You turn the page.
But, it doesn’t turn. It’s stuck to the next page. And the one beneath that. You end up turning about fifty pages at once. They are glued together.
Wow! Someone really doesn’t want you to read this book. Now, of course, you can’t wait to read it.
You look at the page in front of you. You might be a couple of chapters in, but maybe you can still get an idea of what the story is about.
Except, it’s impossible to read the story. Not only are the rest of the pages glued together, someone cut out a large rectangle nearly the size of the book.
This is a hollow book! You’ve heard about these in books and movies. But you never knew they were real. This is so cool.
And the best part? It’s not empty. There’s something inside the hole.
You glance over your shoulder to make sure Evil Librarian isn’t watching you. She’s not. You’re all alone in the creepy windowless section of the library. Using the flashlight on your phone, you look at the object more carefully.
The yellowish white object takes up nearly the entire book. It is thick, almost round, but with a slight curve. The outer edge is smooth, but the inner edge is serrated like the blade of a saw. The points even look as sharp as a saw. Only, the teeth are very small and close together.
Teeth. Or rather, tooth. Could this object be a tooth? But what animal do you know has teeth that large? Or with a serrated edge?
You have never seen anything like this. You have so many questions. How heavy is it? Is it solid or hollow? Is it really a tooth? What kind of animal could have lost it?
You try to read through the text on the facing page, but you are literally trying to start reading a book from the middle. It makes no sense. Who is Olba and Keris? What is a Zayrot or Reiverrirth? And where were Zymmarth or Bryvicri?
Trying to read this book was like trying to learn a new language. Now you really wish those pages weren’t glued together. With a sigh, you turn back to the tooth. It’s got to be a tooth. What else could it be?
The front of the book said this is a book about dragons. This thing is probably supposed to be a dragon’s tooth. Obviously, it’s not a real dragon’s tooth, because there’s no such thing as dragons. It must be epoxy or something. So, it’s probably a lot flimsier than it looks.
Someone has bored a hole through the top of the object, wrapping a black cord around and through it to form a type of necklace. Yeah, it has to be fake.
You reach in to grab it, to confirm your suspicions, but you stop abruptly. Your gaze has landed on the words printed at the top of the page. The name of the book is printed in a small font. But someone has written something in the margin. Judging by the handwriting, it was probably the same person who wrote on the first page. But you could have sworn those words were not there a moment ago.
You shake your head to clear it. Obviously, your eyes are playing tricks on you. What does it say? You hold your phone a little closer.
Warning. Magical Item. Do Not Touch.
Biting your lip, you look around. How could a fake dragon tooth’s necklace be magical?
Maybe it changes color in the light? You shine your light closer, but it remains the same. Maybe it’s a little less yellow, but you don’t think it really changed color.
You glance between the warning and the necklace a few times.
Should you pick up the necklace?
  • You don’t believe in magic. You pick up the necklace.
  • It’s best to heed the warning. You leave the necklace where it is.
Continue the adventure

2023.03.30 16:46 reptilian123 I'm super confused about 2 girls and what they did?

Sorry for my rant, but I had to write my thoughts somewhere, I would really appreciate if someone would please explain things I don't understand to me.
I'm super confused. In last few months I made a few friends on my dorm. There was this girl, let's call her A who randomly knock on my doors at 3am, I was bored so I decided to go hang out with her and bunch of random people, we had really great time. She was really pretty and one of the coolest person I've met this year. She usually hangs out with us and them randomly disappears from existence for few weeks. At one party she brought her boyfriend (she's or at least was at the time in serious relationship) I'm not an asshole so from that point I was never even thinking about her in any other way than a friend.
Eventually I met her friend, let's call her N, and we really hit it off quickly. I liked her and found her pretty. I started hanging out with her, texting her on daily basis, and I felt like she likes me back, since she would hang out in my room at least once a week.
Few days ago A came back from wherever she goes to disappear and hung out with all of us. She noticed dynamic between me and N right away. We drank at this one bar, all of us getting pretty drunk. We decided to continue to party at my place, but N decided not to come and rather hang out with other people. At this point I still kinda liked her but I was slowly getting tired of her behavior, got the sense she doesn't care about me at all and I was loosing interest in her. I asked her if she would be joining us eventually, she said yes, but she didn't come even 3 hours later, and at this point I didn't even care anymore.
A was in the room with us though, and she confronted me about how I feel about N. I told her I kinda like her, but she doesn't give a fuck so this is honestly a waste of time. She started texting her convincing her to come out. I tried to stop her, as I didn't see that to be necessary, but she basically convinced me to go to her and tell her how I feel about her and it's already set up (poorly). I told her this is a terrible idea since it is 3am at this point and we are all pretty drunk, she refused to stop setting us up so I asked her what's in it for her and why does she even care. She avoided the question multiple times but at some point after drinking even more she told me I quote "Because I really like you as a man and she should be with someone decent for once" weirdest sentence female wingman can tell you.
So me A and another friend went to a dorm where N lives. She was supposed to come out. They wished me good luck and went away. After few minutes N comes down with this random guy who tried to pick her up on multiple occasions. From my point of view, she is clearly fucking this guy and I'm only now realizing how terrible this idea was, but I'm already there so I have to go through with it. So I asked her if she can go for a walk with me, because I really need to talk to her. She says she can't, and at this point I'm done. I apologize to her for coming here and told her this was a mistake and left with those words. She seemed super confused. We went back to my room and I told them what happened, all of us felt really bad, especially A.
Next day N urged me to meet with her and talk this through. At this point I don't even want to be with her, but I agree. So we met, completely sober this time. I asked her if she's with the guy and she said no (A confirmed this), so I told her how a feel about her. She told me she doesn't feel that way about me and she only wants to be friends. I explained to her, that I never hung out with her with intention of us being friends and that I can't be just her friend, so if she is 100% sure she never wants to be with me, she has to tell me to fuck off and I will cut all contact with her after that. She also briefly mentioned she will murder A for doing this lol. At the end I basically forced her to decide, and she said No so I wished her good luck in her life and said my farewell to her, deleted her number and social media. It was all very polite from both sides, but I don't want to see this girl ever again.
Confusing part came today when out of the nowhere A texted me, asked me if I'm okay and that she wants to hang out. And I'm super confused and try to figure out what exactly was and is going on.

2023.03.30 16:46 Front_Possibility471 Chance me- charity case edition

Currently 20 female/white. First generation Highschool graduate, first generation college student. Dads a meth head baby mom beating criminal that abandoned me as toddle moms a heroin addict victim criminal that traumatized me and half raised me/ was half raised by my enabling, thieving grandmother. Diagnosed with over 10+ mental disorders throughout childhood, pretty much completely functional and unmedicated as an adult though. Midwest USA more or less urban setting growing up-Went to public school. Freshmen and sophomore year on state tests I scored in the top 90th percentile of my class. (That’s with skipping school and putting 0 effort into my classes). At the end of my sophomore year I had about 1 high school credit. I got locked up in juvenile at the end of my sophomore year. Through my state testing scores and credit makeup packets I made up the previous 2 years worth of credits in about 6 months. Spent the next 2 years (junior and senior) at another public school in the foster care system. Was in advanced English and math my junior year. college credit math and English my senior year. Also took 2 years of Spanish and chemistry my senior year. Graduated Highschool 2020 (Covid yikes). In my best semesters of Highschool and college I get a 3.8 GPA, with how my life is and how bumpy everything has been the GPA isn’t always consistent, obviously haha. 25 on my ACT, never got the chance to take the SAT. Decided to attend the cheapest accredited community college in my state so that way I don’t have to pull out any student loans or deal with my fear of rejection. I’m currently a physics and computer science major. I appreciate the ease, assistance and lack of pressure from the community college but I feel like it’s a waste of my unique brain and it feels like I’m not actually learning or being challenged at my skill level nor do I feel like I’ll be able to have ample opportunity to take advantage of my full potential with the education I am receiving. (sorry this is so randomly thrown together and unorganized) ask anything you want. chance me with state/higher education schools and where I have best potential to get full ride scholarships.

2023.03.30 16:45 designextension01 What types of scale drawings and plans are used in planning?

What types of scale drawings and plans are used in planning?
Location plans
Location plans, which are also called "site location plans," show where a building site is and how big it is.
To be accepted with a planning application, a location plan must meet the following requirements:
· be based on an Ordnance Survey map with a standard metric scale (usually 1:1250 or 1:500 for larger sites) and show north.
· fit on an A4 sheet of paper and show the names of roads and/or buildings on land next to the development site.
· All properties should be numbered or named so that the exact location of the development site is clear. Show the whole development site, not just the areas that will be affected by the proposed development (including gardens and road access)
· A red line should be used to show where the development site ends.
· Use a blue line to show any other land that the applicant owns that is near or next to the development site.
· be made so that people who aren't familiar with reading location plans, like neighbours, can understand them.
· We strongly suggest that you buy your location plan from the Planning Portal to make sure that it is valid.

Floor plans
Floor plans show how existing or planned rooms, spaces, and other physical features connect to each other.
To be accepted with a planning application, a floor plan must meet the following requirements:
· be easy to read, correct, and up-to-date.
· use a known metric scale to be drawn (typically 1:50)
· For example, if the scale is 1:50, the right size of paper for that scale should be used (or the Scale Drawings will be submitted online) All important measurements should be written down on A3 paper.
· display a title box with the name of the drawing, the drawing number, the date, the nature of the proposed development, the site address, and the size of the drawing.
· Any time a drawing is changed, the word "Revision" needs to be added to the title box and a new drawing number needs to be given.
· All current and planned works should be easy to find.
Roof plans
Roof plans show how a building looks from above and show things like valleys, ridges, hips, slopes, drainage, chimneys, vents, and roof lights that are already there or are planned.
To be accepted with a planning application, a roof plan must meet the following requirements:
· be easy to read, correct, and up-to-date.
· use a known metric scale to be drawn (typically 1:50)
· For example, if the scale is 1:50, the right size of paper for that scale should be used (or the drawings will be submitted online) All important measurements should be written down on A3 paper.
· display a title box with the name of the drawing, the drawing number, the date, the nature of the proposed development, the site address, and the size of the drawing.
· Any time a drawing is changed, the word "Revision" needs to be added to the title box and a new drawing number needs to be given.
· All current and planned works should be easy to find (including details of any roof lights)
Elevations
Elevations are flat drawings that show the side, front, or back of a building. They are most often used to show how the outside of a building looks now or how it could look in the future.
For a planning application to accept an elevation, it must meet the following requirements:
· be easy to read, correct, and up-to-date.
· use a known metric scale to be drawn (typically 1:50)
· For example, if the scale is 1:50, the right size of paper for that scale should be used (or the drawings will be submitted online) All important measurements should be written down on A3 paper.
· display a title box with the name of the drawing, the drawing number, the date, the nature of the proposed development, the site address, and the size of the drawing.
· Any time a drawing is changed, the word "Revision" needs to be added to the title box and a new drawing number needs to be given.
· All current and planned works should be easy to find.
show the site in relation to its neighbours and include details and measurements that show how it fits in with its neighbours, like the location and height of any boundary walls and the total height of neighbouring roofs and eaves.
Sections
Sections show a vertical plane cut through a property. They are most often used to show how different levels of an existing or planned building relate to each other.
For a planning application to accept a section, it must meet the following criteria:
· be easy to read, correct, and up-to-date.
· use a known metric scale to be drawn (typically 1:50)
· For example, if the scale is 1:50, the right size of paper for that scale should be used (or the drawings will be submitted online) All important measurements should be written down on A3 paper.
· display a title box with the name of the drawing, the drawing number, the date, the nature of the proposed development, the site address, and the size of the drawing.
· Any time a drawing is changed, the word "Revision" needs to be added to the title box and a new drawing number needs to be given.
For proposed developments that involve a change in ground level, all existing and planned works should be made clear. For proposed developments on sloped sites or where there are different levels on neighbouring sites, sections should show both the existing level and the finished level.
how a proposed building fits into the development site and how existing buildings and proposed buildings compare in height.
How do I send in plans and drawings to scale?
If you use the Planning Portal to apply for planning permission online, you will be able to upload your scale drawings and plans after you have filled out the necessary forms.
If you choose to send in a paper application instead, you will need to provide:
· four copies of your plans and scaled drawings
· four copies of the forms that are needed.
Where can I learn more about this?
Contact planning advice and information for more information on how to make scale drawings and plans and send them in.
