So I have vision insurance again which means I was able to go to the optometrist and get glasses through insurance for the first time in 11 years (instead of paying out of pocket and getting glasses from zenni) and here are my notes:
It's *NOT GREAT* that Luxotica is mentioned by name on the insurance card printout
I know everything got more expensive in the last ten years, but frames also got a lot more expensive and for some reason there was a huge gap in prices - my insurance covered $130 for frames and the office had a bunch of frames for $70 and a bunch of frames for $150 but basically no frames between those two price points.
When you say "I can't afford to go over the allowance" on XYZ thing they are not even *considering* the cost of progressive bifocals. So I was like "no coating, cheap frames, no extras" and then they were like "okay so the progressive bifocal is going to be over a hundred dollars more" and I was like "how much is the bifocal with a line" and they were like "oh that's only $15 but we don't consider that appropriate for your age, we recommend this other kind of lens" and it doesn't matter what you consider age appropriate for me, I can't afford that so we're not doing that.
The seventy dollar frames are all kind of trash. Super thin, super bendy, and not in a good "flexible fit" way but more in a "if you fall asleep in these you will wake up with broken glasses" way.
They wrote down my reading prescription wrong? For the last ten years I've been slowly creeping up from +.25 to my current +2.50; they told me it had increased but the printout said +.75 so either my prescription has been wrong for a while or they missed the 2 at the front of that number and my glasses are going to show up with a low magnification. (I noticed after I'd left the office but before the glasses arrived).
Given all of that, with insurance: $25 for a pair of glasses, which included the office copay.
So then of course I went to zenni and ordered glasses anyway because I've been wearing the same frame design for seven years and want another pair that look exactly like that.
Progressive bifocals WERE the most expensive part of the order, and because my prescription is stronger they are getting progressively more expensive - initially the upgrade to bifocal cost something like $30 for a lower magnification, now they're $85 for the stronger prescription.
And that's it, that's the expensive part. Fifteen dollar frames, five dollar anti-reflective coating, total for bifocals was around a hundred dollars; I got a pair of single-vision sunglasses for under $20.
Part of the reason I decided to spend more at zenni than at my optometrist's office was because I was able to get good, sturdy frames that I know fit my face and will survive mosh pits and me falling asleep on them without cracking. In order to get the same thing at the optometrist's office I would have had to pay thirty dollars more for lenses as well as forty more for frames so I would have walked out of there paying more for a pair of glasses with frames that I wasn't super excited about (there was a pair that was *okay* but not great that were similar in construction to my current frames but more bulky and square) than I did for glasses that I know I like and a pair of sunglasses.
I did end up paying less out of pocket for the visit than I would have without the insurance, and $15 for a pair of back-up glasses isn't bad. But it was all-in-all a frustrating experience.
However: I've been wearing the same pair of glasses for three years and the anti-reflective coating is worn away in some places and they're so scratched that they're impossible to actually clean in some places and large bastard looked through them last week and was like "OH! No wonder you can't tell when you need to clean your windshield! You don't get to drive at night until those are replaced" so no matter what glasses I'm wearing next week they're going to be an improvement.

Since you've mentioned that you use Scrivener as a word processing software, I have a bit of a weird-ish question. I have looked at the programme and it seems incredibly useful, and then I looked at the pricetag and- gulp.
I currently use Word which costs 5 euros per year thanks to university, but am thinking about switching to another programme that isn't related to my uni as I feel too paranoid about my smutty fanfic ideas being looked at by my uni and them disapproving of my writing. XD (Word keeps marking "fuck" with a squiggly line and suggesting I choose another word to avoid offending my readers, but if canon doesn't give Barclay some holographic MMF action taking place during "A Fistful of Datas" and turning both his holographic partners into holographic Data and therefore inducing maximum tension and insecurity due to feelings in poor sandwiched Barclay whenever he meets actual Data after that, I will have to write it myself! :P )
According to the website where one can buy a Scrivener license, one pays for the current version of it and will have to buy later versions anew if I haven't misunderstood. You seem to have used it for quite a while, and I haven't managed to find out when the different versions came out. I know the current one is 3, but I am unsure how much time passed between 1 and 2 and 2 and 3, and am unsure whether it's a good idea to buy a license now or whether it would be wiser to wait if it's likely that another version might be released in the near future (that is within one year for example) because then I might wait a little while with my purchase, heh. It probably sounds quite stingy but I am solely getting it for my tiny and too seldom indulged hobby of writing fanfic, and currently have to kinda sorta pay more attention to my wallet and where its contents go, so to say, which is why I'm hesitant.
The question basically is: As a (probable?) long-time user, do you think it's likely a new version of Scrivener will be released within the next year or so or do you think it's likely the current version will be tha latest to purchase for a longer while than 1-2 years?
I hope this rambly mess makes sense, haven't really slept for quite some time, so I am sorry if this is terribly incomprehensible. Sorry for the weird stingy question. Have a nice day and I hope you have slept and will sleep better than I currently do, heh!
--
I've only used it for like three years.
A quick google suggests that Scrivener 2 was released in 2010. 3 was released in 2017 basically to keep up with OS changes.
(IDK what you searched, but this isn't hard to find, dude.)
Scrivener is a fairly... old-fashioned style of software, I guess I'd call it. Some dude wrote himself a program to write his own novel and then people liked it. Some other guy decided to port it to Windows.
They update approximately never. When they do, recent buyers of the old one upgrade for free and everybody else gets like half off. The trial period is 30 days of actual use. The current retail license for 3 is only like sixty bucks. It's a commercial product, but... not like you've been trained to expect by your average modern software that wants to nickle and dime you at every turn.
Do you need Scrivener? Well, no. Not unless you want customizable high-level ebook output formatting and fancy features like that. You could just use some other free option if you just want to type stories in something that isn't Word. But Scrivener is priced extremely low for what it is.

As promised, here is a post about my immortal South American Bumblebee Catfish (Microglanis iheringi) to serve as Actinopterygii propaganda.
I first got into fish-keeping after getting a job at PetSmart in 2014. I figured I needed some experience if I was about to answer peoplesā€™ pet questions (spoiler: most people buying pets ended up being a lot stupider than I thought.) I had a 10 gallon tank with a dwarf gourami and 2 platys for a bit, before I found the 10 gallon too limiting and upgraded to a 30 gallon. The tank needed some sort of bottom feeder to occupy the lower levels of the tank, so I opted for a South American Bumblebee Catfish over a school of Kuhli Loaches. Hereā€™s proof; pay extra attention to the dates:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Iā€™ve tried to add other bottom feeders to the tank, like cory catfish, a bristlenose pleco, and even a sumo loach, butā€¦ Iā€™m not sure if the bumblebee catfish was bullying them or if heā€™s just put a curse on the tank, because none of them lived more than a few months. Iā€™ve since stopped trying to add other bottom feeders.
I still wanted Kuhli Loaches though, so I figured I would just try them after the catfish passed away. Every source online said they lived 3-5 years ā€œunder ideal conditions.ā€ I didnā€™t mind waiting 5 years to get some kuhlis.
I quit PetSmart after two years, went to university, have gone through several jobs and life changes. The 30 gallon tank has seen many fish come and go. An outbreak of Ich in 2019 took my last tetra, and weakened my angelfish. Eventually left with some cherry barbs and the bumblebee catfish, I decided to make an all Asian fish tank, as they seemed to be the hardiest (and my inner zookeeper was screaming at me to at least co-habitate fish from the same continent.)
It is 2024 and I currently have a pearl gourami, a school of black ruby barbs, a school of glass catfish, a female Betta, one very old cherry barbā€¦
ā€¦ and one South American Bumblebee Catfish.
Surely Kuhli Loaches would fit the Asian theme better. But no. This catfish will never die.
Itā€™s not that I want him to die; I donā€™t wish any ill on him. I just canā€™t get any other bottom feeders with him in there. And this fish that is supposed to get to 3-5 years old ā€œunder ideal conditionsā€ā€¦ I have had for almost 10 years. This is the fish equivalent of a 200 year old man:
I switch up the tankā€™s decor seasonally for enrichment, and this year the fish got a new haunted house. The catfish loves houses, so here he is celebrating his 9th Halloween.
I never even named him. I go back and forth between ā€œMethuselahā€ and ā€œRasputinā€, but usually just default to ā€œThe Immortal Catfish.ā€
If you ever feel like you canā€™t go on, just remember that Methuselah/Rasputin/The Immortal Catfish is out there somewhere, living it up (currently in a seasonally-appropriate gingerbread house ornament), and if he can keep on truckin you can too.

Hey, all; little heads up on some possible changes to my Patreon tiers.
TL;DR: Following an unexpected increase in my file output, I am considering releasing more files per month and adding additional tiers users can pay to access these bonus files. My current provision of two files a month for $5 will not change, but you will now be optionally able to pay more for more content. That's basically all I'm saying here, but you can continue reading for the context if you'd like it.
Hey everyone. Just want to post to mention something that may be happening in the next couple of weeks... but I want to clarify something first.
I originally started this recent Patreon push with the intent of giving 2 monthly releases (one a fortnight), and my current tiers are priced according to that rate. Pending any kind of changes Patreon makes on the back end, I always want to keep my base entry tier at roughly 5 dollars/2 files a month... for as long as it is reasonable for me to keep that rate, like for example unless Patreon start to take a big chunk out of it or something. Theeen maybe I'd increase it by a dollar or two.
However, if I shouldĀ happen to produce more files I want to release per month, I will probably make higher priced tiers to justify the increased time spend and output. Meaning that 5 dollars would no longer get you "all content", but my staple 2 files per month.
I got this idea from conversations with several other Patreon tists over the last few weeks... While I have been in the shoes of a subject who doesn't want to have to pay lots of money per month just to keep up with regular releases, Jockout (Patreon and commissions) is also my sole income sourceĀ right now. It is, effectively, my job. So if I suddenly hit this ambitious goal of doubling my old output, I think it's reasonable that I would make more tiers charging more for access to this bonus content.
There would be no pressure on current subscribers to pay more if they don't want to - as a discerning customer, it would be up to you to decide if and when you're able to afford it, like maybe waiting to see if one of these bonus files is up your alley before paying for an upgrade. I don't plan to sabotage my two staple monthly releases by putting out garbage, it's all going to get the same amount of time and quality. But, as I'm starting to take this more seriously and treat it as a bit more of a business than something I want to put time into idly when the mood strikes, I need to treat it like one on the back end too. if it seems like I'm being overly defensive here, it's because I'm hesitant of coming across hostile or money-grabbing.
What has sparked all this is that I am currently in the midst of a very ambitious push to complete all of my 2024 scripting in the next week, including writing enough scripts that I will be able to put out one file a weekĀ for the remainder of the year...
Of course, as mentioned previously, I also think I'm going to consider bonus incentives for the highest tiers in the form of 30-day-challenges or maybe even personalised help with hypnotic programming (file calendars, etc.) if desired... a Discord is the most common bonus incentive but I'm not sure about using it as one, the market is kind of saturated in terms of hypnotist discords. And anyway, that's all for later down the road.
Hope you understand, and hope you look forward to what I've got coming. I'll update with specifics on this tier stuff as I come up with concrete ideas for what I'm offering/for how much.

on the monday after jeddah, eurosport fr dropped an episode of their podcast "les fous du volant" and one of the topics was, obviously, her. Scuderia Ferrari.
normally i wouldn't pay as much attention as to italian/british media but given that we have a stronger french presence in Ferrari again, i think these reports shouldn't be completely ignored. so, i listened to it and i did some notes, in case you guys missed it.
so, from 27:31, they talk about how the current performance and expectations for the season are just the tip of the iceberg. i split it into general topics, stuff that is important to note is in bold:
gino rosato: his function was external relations (link up and host the VIPs + any other task that involved dealing with the world outside of maranello); joined Ferrari before jean todt but just as an occasional freelancer - todt made him a full time employer; montezemolo and kimi protected him. he left with kimi in 2009 and came back with him in 2014; main feeling is that his role was more politic than it seemed and he acted as a supervisor of both inner and outer Ferrari at times; vigna took the Scuderia by his own hands when he came in and rosato was let go; since his role was such an insider role, he is the main suspect for the yapping to the italian press; vasseur's arrival tackled the binotto clan and started to dismantle it; bonus joke about rosato moving to AM.
laurent mekies: he was being prepped to become binotto's successor with his career evolution; vasseur reworked his role inside Ferrari after the restructuring that happened last year; the two studied in the same uni; he had several proposals (f1, fia, alpine/hyvia) in december but vasseur vetoed his exit; vasseur is inquired (probably by the board of directors) on how and why he's taking these choices of breaking up the binotto clan;
david sanchez: sanchez wouldn't have been let go easily with only vasseur's demand, means elkann authorised the move and is behind fred; thus, when vasseur says he has a lot of freedom, he probably means it; it's a matter of recreating the team culture; sanchez's move possibly opens a precedent for later moves: enrico cardille (head of chassis area) is close to his end of contract, yet to see if he is going to be retained as well since he is part of the binotto clan and he was part of the sf23 design team; sanchez fired after discussion w/ charles at training is at the very least interesting (they lowkey imply it was the final nail in the coffin); discussion as to whether Ferrari considers this year finished and must be sacrificed to develop 2024 or not - usually upgrades are anticipated in february according to what engineers might feel the car will require in the upcoming races, but we're yet to see if with the 2023 car will be affected by role changes.Ā 
drivers: discussion on their approach to charles and how he felt he could have done more in jeddah if he was ahead of carlos; charles would have indeed inquired elkann on future plans for the team and the structure of Ferrari; they cite thatĀ his contract will end in 2024 and lots of teams might try to seduce him for 2025; sainz in an awkward role as no2 but not quite openly, also could rethink his future.Ā 
the most interesting thing is the link to gino rosato as the possible leaker (he truly is one of kimi's closest friends, and was in Ferrari for nearly 30 years if you add his two stints up, but then again we never expected stepney to do spygate innit). i saw a few other outlets also name jonathan giacobazzi (executive race manager, whatever the fuck that means) as another possible whistleblower (he was let go together with gino) but i heard of no such thing in this podcast, at least. we'll stay tuned. forza Ferrari!

ways to improve Battlefront II (2017)
Replace the ability-based system with an ammo-based system (e.g. having multiple grenades that you have to replenish, rather than having a single grenade that takes 30 seconds to recharge)
Replace the weapon heat system with ammo and magazines. Gamifying reloading is such a bad idea
Give all classes a sidearm so you have something to switch to while reloading
Make a soldier class with a shotgun as a primary weapon
Remove the pay-to-win weapon/equipment upgrades
Assign each soldier class a single weapon. No more of this "pick and customize your weapon" thing
Put heroes on a timer so people can't hog them (would also solve the problem I've encountered multiple times where I'm playing single player and the AI playing the hero I want gets stuck and can't die)
Change the way jetpacks work so they all match the First Order jet trooper (i.e. the ability to hover and shoot without flying all over the place)
Change the command post capture logic so you can no longer capture or contest from inside a vehicle or while on a different vertical level
Make vehicles accessible as a thing that's just around, instead of tying them to player points
On that note, don't have vehicles explode when you leave them? Seems like that would be obvious
Add a new game mode where the goal is to either capture all command posts or defeat 150 enemies
Add space battles and Galactic Conquest
Change the way Jedi/Sith jumps work. The current method of having to hold down the button to jump higher from the ground means if you misjudge your jump you have to wait until you hit the ground again to try again
Get rid of loot boxes
Give the player all character skins and make them map dependent
Unlock all game modes for single-player

I'm in the last push to finish my dissertation, so I upgraded my study setup.
The two main apps I'm using here are Ulysses for writing, and Liquid Text for my notes. Over the last year or so, I've been reading and annotating entirely in Liquid Text to build a large set of references for the dissertation. You can see in the image both the original text and where I've pulled out passages into my workspace; the red lines connect the two, and each acts as a clickable link to the relevant document and page; I've got about 30 documents in this workspace, meaning that those links are a lifesaver. Normally, I just have this on my iPad, where Liquid Text has excellent Pencil integration, however for just these next few weeks I've bought a subscription to Liquid Text Live to sync with my Mac. I then took the TV from my house and brought it to my office, so that I can throw up my entire workspace on a bigass screen, while doing the writing on my Mac's smaller screen. I also threw an orange filter over everything to reduce eyestrain (this can be found in the accessibility settings on a Mac). Finally, since the TV and Mac are running the whole business end, I set up my iPad to control Spotify, which has been weirdly helpful for not breaking workflow; my ADHD gets triggered pretty badly by certain music things, so having a touch screen right there to skip songs or start a loop has helped. Honestly, this last year has been illuminating. I've gotten more done in the last 13 or so months than in the last 4 years combined, and a major part of that has been the integration of these kinds of tools. Liquid Text (and to a lesser extent Ulysses) has been critical in managing my ADHD, and especially my executive dysfunction. Being able to have all my readings ready to go on a device drastically reduces how many spoons it takes to start reading, and Liquid Text's method of annotation assists in preventing attention problems, both by reducing workflow interruptions and also in making the writing process far less tedious by consolidating all my annotations from different documents into a single workspace, which itself helps in the same way vis-Ć -vis attention and executive dysfunction.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this system for most ADHD folks; it's definitely overkill. All the tools help, for sure, but would not be worth the expense. We only have a TV at all because my wife was entered into (and won) a random drawing when she was working in the UPS warehouse. I probably wouldn't try to afford a Mac for school purposes; I have one because I'm an electronic musician, and happened to be in (relatively) solid financial position at the time. I was still on stipend, was adjuncting to supplement, had a trade in, and my wife hadn't yet gone back to school. In my current financial status, I probably would be writing my dissertation on the iPad, or at most would have something very minimal; maybe a chromebook.
With that in mind, I would recommend an iPad running Liquid Text, with a Pencil to any ADHD academic that can afford it. It was a major financial stress for us; I only just finished paying mine off, but it was absolutely worth it, for me. Moreover, one really doesn't have to be in the Apple ecosystem to get the most out of it. Two of my colleagues have picked up iPads and Liquid Text, and have had similarly excellent results, and both are generally speaking Windows users. I've heard that the Windows iteration of Liquid Text isn't quite as stable as the Mac version, but that's hardly a dealbreaker. In point of fact, one of my colleagues isn't paying for desktop sync at all, and has found just having the iPad workspace is adequate.

January Things - 1/15/23
āœØ things have been so hard in some aspects but so easy in others. Itā€™s so weird. I have started recovery treatment for an eating disorder which is time consuming, extremely expensive, and draining. I know itā€™s for the best, but itā€™s also so so hard knowing Iā€™m spending thousands of dollars on this which is pushing me back from being able to move out, pay off my credit card, etc. And that adds so much stress and anxiety to my life which is so hard.
āœØ so Iā€™ve been trying to do nice things for myself so balance out the guilt and sheer terror of recovering which includes very little working out. And that has been a huge HUGE part of my life for over 15 years!! I have gone from working out 3 hours a day at least, to not being allowed to do more than 30 minutes a day a few times a week. That has been so mentally hard.
āœØ my temper and anger is real. I have to keep it in check at work bc one of my coworkers is very type A about things in an unnecessary way and with my little patience, itā€™s hard letting it just slide off my back like I have been. But I am trying.
āœØ thea has been my saving Grace, as always šŸ’•
āœØ I made a New Yearā€™s resolution to read 35 books this year (last year my goal was 22 books for 2022 and I surpassed it by like 6!) So Iā€™m upping it a bit to make it a bit harder but still manageable! I have read three books so far :) and Iā€™m planning on getting at least two more in this month putting me ahead of my monthly requirement of 3 books!! Yay!
I have read; Truly Devious, The Vanishing Stair, and Elena Vanishing. I am going to read The Hand on the Wall (the last book in the Truly Devious trilogy) and then also The Perks of being A Wallflower!
āœØ my brother and I have a VR and beatsaber has been out jam lol
āœØ I have been playing my switch a lot since exercise restriction (as well as reading obviously lol) and I spent 6 hours today (no jokeā€¦) playing Animal Crossings and I got so much done haha! I had to start over on my new OLED switch. Which is okay bc I hadnā€™t gotten far anyways. But today I upgraded to a house, paid of my 98,000 bell house loan so tomorrow will have a bigger home, I got Blathers all the items to build the museumā€¦ so that will be done tomorrow too!
So all in all, a lot got done in my little animal crossings-verse ā¤ļø
āœØ now Iā€™m currently eating sushi for dinner, watching the first two episodes of Mayfair Witches, and then I am going to get a bit more reading done before going to bed!
āœØ no work tomorrow which is fucking amazing. So I plan on getting more done in animal crossings and then read some more.
I hope youā€™re all doing great!

This is so easy to do, everyone. Please don't be scared of sending the prewritten email to your representatives!
Also, I didn't know what to pick for the required 'select the topic of your email' option, so I just picked "Taxes" for each of the Senators/Representative.
However, on the template, I took out the 'families like mine' paragraph because it wasn't applicable to me and also, I have a better story I can make them read: (chronic illness)
So I changed the first line to say "immunocompromised constituent" and then took out that paragraph about families and replaced it with:
Immunocompromised people like me have had to be extremely hypervigilant all throughout the pandemic: especially now that it is rare to see anyone other than myself wearing a mask in public. I have to consider my risk every time I enter a public building, regardless of what role viral illnesses are currently playing. Incentivizing upgrades to commercial air filtration would lift some of that unavoidable personal burden I have, to keep my health safe from others. Not only that, but encouraging upgrades to this necessary equipment is the right thing to do for the health of everyone.
I was only 10 years old when a viral illness triggered the development of rheumatoid arthritis, a form of arthritis in which the immune system attacks the tissues in and around joints. I'm 30 years old now, and have needed to take multiple immunosuppressant medications - in order to lessen and prevent the permanent damage my body's immune response causes to my joints. With my immune system suppressed, I am at a much higher risk of getting sick than the average person, as well as being at a higher risk of staying sick for a longer period of time. So not only was my childhood defined by the initial virus that set this difficult life path in front of me, I also have to take additional steps to avoid future infections. It has been extremely depressing seeing news stories about how other kids and people affected by Covid have found themselves on a similar life path with chronic illnesses that began after a viral infection. We should do everything we can to help keep commercial and public places safe from airborne illnesses.
-
Good, right? Lol. (Pls wear a mask tho.)
I left the last section as it was.
If representatives get a lot of the same copy and pasted letter, they might only take note of the volume of emails containing it, and not really pay attention to the content. Who knows, maybe they don't care either way because they're just a dick, but IN MY EXPERIENCE, they almost always send a brief response email (more often it's the Representative that will send more than just an acknowledgement of the content), usually just stating what their intentions were before, and that they'll keep your letter in mind. (You obviously don't need to reply if you don't want to.) Sometimes they agree, sometimes they don't. I try to personalize a few words in whichever template I'm sending, but it's still totally fine if you don't or can't think of anything else to add.
Either way, it's THEIR job to listen to you, so make them and their assistants actually work!!
I've sent a bunch of prewritten ones, and personalized ones that worked off the template. It's a very low-stakes method of contacting your representatives and is especially good for people like me who have really bad phone anxiety.
Also, while I'm typing all of this, now is a good time to remind everyone to vote. These people you're sending the template to, are the ones your vote will matter the most for, in any election. Make your voice heard this fall.

Shop July 4 Energy Saving Gas Appliances in Georgia!
New Post has been published on https://www.georgiagassavings.com/blog/shop-july-4-energy-saving-gas-appliances-in-georgia/
Shop July 4 Energy Saving Gas Appliances in Georgia!
Get Great July 4 Deals in Gas Appliances
Energy saving appliances make it easier to cut your Georgia gas use. Tax credits and rebates make it easier to save when you shop gas water heaters and other major appliances this July 4!
Need to cut your Georgia gas usage but youā€™re putting off a major appliance purchase? This July could finally be the right time to pull the trigger. In my case, I am shopping for a new energy saving natural gas water heater. Currently, we have a 30-year-old water heater long overdue for an upgrade. By taking advantage of deals and tax credits, a new super high efficiency heater is more affordable. So come with me to shop for July 4 energy saving gas appliances in Georgia.
Incentives for Energy Saving Appliances in Georgia
Combine 4th of July deals with local and federal rebates for amazing savings on a new gas appliance.
Firstly, there is the Inflation Reduction Act tax rebate for up to 30% of home energy efficiency improvements. This includes natural gas water heaters as long as they meet certain efficiency levels. The tax rebate can also be used for natural gas appliances like a furnace or heat pump.
Secondly is the rebate from Atlanta Gas Light for converting from electric or propane appliances to gas appliances. With a tankless natural gas water heater you can get up to $500. There are also rebates for items like furnaces and dryers.
Note that if you donā€™t find your new gas appliance during the holiday sales, Amazon has Prime Day just around the corner!
Shop Energy Saving Gas Appliances
To get the most out of rebates, incentives, and energy savings, Iā€™m shopping for a tankless natural gas water heater. For the the tax credit, the water heater needs to have a greater than .95 uniform energy factor (UEF).
Keeping that in mind, I found a great choice. Specifically, itā€™s the Rinnai Sensei Super High Efficiency Plus. This water heater comes in four sizes and the price difference from smallest to largest is about $400. As a family of four, we could probably get away with the 10 gallon per minute (GPM) flow rate. However, for just $100 more, it could be worth it to get the 11 GPM model.
Shop Savings for New Gas Appliances
So, letā€™s look at the cost breakdown of the super high efficiency tankless gas water heater.
The list price is $1,537.90 for the 11 GPM model. Itā€™s marked down 10% for the current sale, to $1,384.11. This product is eligible for the 30% tax rebate, which brings the cost down to $968.88. Plus, we can apply for a $500 rebate from Atlanta Gas Light and a $250 rebate from Rinnai. That brings the cost down to $218.88. Remember that installation will cost more, but we have about $184.76 leftover from the tax rebate to put towards that.
When you factor in how much money it saves to use a high efficiency tankless gas water heater, it doesnā€™t take long to pay off the cost of the unit. According to Energy Star, it saves a family of 4 about $95 per year versus a traditional tank-style water heater.
Now imagine even more savings! Itā€™s easy when you shop to compare natural gas rates in Georgia. Find the best plan with most savings today at https://www.georgiagassavings.com.

end of january
time tends to feel like it flies by in LA, but the days feel more painful and long in NYC. whenever i have too much time to myself, i tend to ruminate and get stuck on negative thoughts. all the interviews in the past few months that i was hoping would work out for matt, have not come to any fruition. UCI, UCLA, city of hope are most likely a no. LA general/USC is a slight maybe - they are "thick in interview season" and do not have an answer yet. kaiser woodland hills seems to be a malignant program that hires new grads and has them basically work a brutal schedule (5-6 days off a month only, flip flops between nights and days).
sometimes i am more compassionate and patient, because i understand matt is trying really hard and the job market is just extremely competitive. but there are many other times that i have a lot of anger about this whole situation and can as an AH move direct it at him/place the blame on him. recently R&T who just moved here last september has informed us that T has been job searching again, and he received an offer in dallas that they're seriously considering. my pathologist friend L is finishing up her fellowship and she received an offer both in socal and norcal - like she received 2 offers out of 2 in person interviews. i know objectively it's easier for T to land a new job (data science, lower paying), and for L to secure jobs because she's highly specialized, but it's also difficult not to compare their success to our behind the scenes.
TP who is also an INTP like matt and have similar qualities about decision making, shared that it took her a year of job searching (while currently holding a job) to select one that makes the most sense. it did really help to hear things from her perspective, that although i find it tough by association, the person doing the interviewing and being rejected is by far taking the brunt of these difficult situations.
i'm really trying my best to be supportive of all this, instead of focusing on things out of my control. i think the most challenging aspect for me to accept is that we're at the prime age to settle down but there is no plan forward yet.
i could be angry at medicine, at how unfair it is after so many years of training (in a location that is not your choice) you can still end up in a malignant situation, how no one really cares for doctors' work conditions because they "make too much money" and there continues to be abusive/predatory environments even as an attending physician. or i could be grateful for all that this career offers us, in terms of opportunities, fulfillment, respect, job security and financial stability.
yoga: in these past 12 days, i will have completed 10 yoga classes (5 at tangerine and 5 at equinox). this is the most i've ever done consistently. it's useful to switch up the instructors, because most of the ones i went to before did not provide hands on assistance or tell me if i was doing a pose wrong. i purchased a yoga strap to practice flexibility at home!
broadway: this month, we watched hadestown, sweeney todd and moulin rouge. both hadestown and moulin rouge were amazing seats; our seats for sweeney todd were OK but we could not see the actors faces/emotions due to distance. i would rank hadestown > sweeney todd > moulin rouge. i actually left moulin rouge with a headache that lasted a few hours because the music was so loud and everything was so flashy lol
bedsheets: as part of lifestyle creep, we upgraded our duvet insert to MUJI down duvet and got a matching washed cotton duvet cover to match the rest of our ensemble. it was on sale for 40% off. i've been dreaming of doing this for like 3 years now haha so it is a worthwhile mention. i'm not sure yet if it is better than the $30 duvet insert from amazon that we've been sleeping with the last 3 years. i realize i am emotionally attached to our last duvet so it'll take time to get used to this new one.

The Mumbai real estate market has on average reported about 10,000 property registrations a month this year.
More than 4,800 properties have been registered inĀ Mumbaiā€™s Real EstateĀ market in the first 10 days of November, ahead of Diwali, which marks the peak of the festive season.
This is a little over 40 percent of the average monthly registrations in Mumbai, according to data from the Maharashtra Inspector General of Registrations and Stamps. On average, more than 300 properties were registered in the city every day this year, taking the monthly total to 9,000-10,000.
November Rush
According to the data, the Mumbai real estate market reported 4,811 property registrations and Rs 354 crore in stamp duty revenue this month, as of 8 pm on November 10. In comparison, 10,607 property registrations were reported in the city in October, raking in Rs 835 crore in revenue.
Diwali is considered an auspicious time to buy property, more so when there are sales and promotions offered.
However, even as property registration seems to be robust, developers said the pace of closing deals is slower this festive season than last year, at least in Mumbai. Homebuyers are taking longer to decide on purchases because they have a plethora of options.
ā€œOur sales have doubled this festive season, but the overall enthusiasm for deal closures seems tempered compared to the previous year,ā€ saidĀ Bhavya Shah, a director atĀ Origin Corp., a developer. ā€œThe market dynamics have shifted with increased competition due to multiple launches, resulting in a slightly prolonged deal closure process compared to the frenzied pace of the previous festive season.ā€
However, Shah maintained that deal closures depend on the right product and right pricing.
ā€œWe have been successfully selling one-, two- and three-BHK properties in Mira Road and Kandivali, two prominent micro-markets in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, ranging from Rs 65 lakh to Rs 3 crore,ā€ Shah said.
Another developer, MICL Group, said the response to their offering was ā€œwarmā€ and buyers are showing interest in super luxury and luxury categories.
ā€œWe are anticipating a bonanza during Diwali as the market is positive and we believe that quality does not need offers,ā€ said Manan Shah, managing director at MICL Group.
Keystone Developers, also known as the Rustomjee Group, is offering staggered payment options for homebuyers this festive season.
ā€œThe company is offering the option of moving in immediately by paying a certain percentage of the total apartment cost and the balance can be paid by the homebuyers at a later stage within the decided timeline. The company currently has 22 projects in the pipeline with a potential of 37 million square feet,ā€ saidĀ Rakesh Setia, president of sales and marketing at Rustomjee Group.
The festive season is also when customers seek to upgrade their homes by purchasing bigger apartments. Ankit Arora, a 30-year-old resident of Borivali in Mumbai, is searching for a decent-sized three bedroom apartment.
ā€œWe are residing in a society that is expected to undergo redevelopment next year and hence we are looking to sell our 1-BHK house provided we get a good offer. I will later opt for a home loan to buy a 3-BHK apartment if we get a good deal and hence the festive season becomes an ideal time for me to close attractive deals,ā€ Arora said.
Navratri 2023 Rush
Property registrations in Mumbai had also soared during Navratri, touching 4,594 units during the nine days from October 15 to October 23, a 37 percent year-on-year growth. This marks an increase from the 3,343 units registered during Navratri last year, according to Knight Frank India, a real estate consultancy firm.
According to the data, the average daily registration rate, which was 231 during the first 14 days of October, more than doubled to 510 units during Navratri.

Can you elaborate on the pricing range and payment options for units at The Florence Residences
However, I can provide you with a general idea of how pricing and payment options for florence residence floor plan residential units in real estate projects like "The Florence Residences" might work. Keep in mind that this information might not accurately reflect the current situation for this specific project.
Pricing Range:
The pricing range for units in a residential project can vary significantly based on several factors:
Unit Size and Layout: Larger units with more bedrooms or unique layouts tend to be priced higher than smaller, more standard units.
Floor Level: Units on higher floors often command a premium due to better views and reduced noise from street level.
Amenities and Facilities: Projects with extensive amenities like swimming pools, gyms, gardens, and communal spaces can have higher prices.
Location: The proximity to essential services, public transportation, schools, shopping centers, and other amenities can influence pricing.
Developer Reputation: Established developers with a good track record might command higher prices due to the perceived quality of their projects.
Market Conditions: Real estate markets can be influenced by supply and demand, economic factors, and other external forces that impact pricing.
Time of Purchase: Early buyers might have access to promotional prices, while prices might increase as the project progresses.
Payment Options:
Real estate developers often provide various payment options to accommodate different buyers' financial situations. Here are some common payment options:
Progressive Payment Schedule: This is a common payment structure where the total price is divided into several installments based on construction milestones. For instance, you might make an initial down payment (usually around 20-30% of the total price) upon signing the purchase agreement. Subsequent payments are tied to stages of construction completion, such as the completion of the foundation, the building structure, and so on.
Deferred Payment: Some developers might offer a deferred payment scheme where you pay a smaller initial down payment, and the bulk of the payment is deferred until a later date, often upon completion of the project. This can be useful if you expect your financial situation to improve by the time the project is completed.
Progressive Payment with Financing: This option involves paying the down payment while obtaining a bank loan or mortgage for the remaining amount. The bank pays the developer on your behalf as construction progresses, and you make mortgage payments to the bank.
Full Payment with Discounts: If you have the means to pay the full purchase price upfront, developers might offer a discount on the total price. This can be an attractive option if you're looking to save on the overall cost.
Rental Guarantee: In some cases, developers might offer a rental guarantee for a certain period after completion. This means they guarantee a fixed rental income for your property, which can be beneficial for investors.
Part Exchange: Some developers might accept your existing property as part of the payment for the new unit. This can be helpful if you're looking to upgrade or change your current living situation.
It's important to thoroughly understand the payment options and pricing structure before committing to a purchase. Additionally, consult with financial advisors, real estate agents, or lawyers who specialize in real estate transactions to ensure you're making an informed decision.
For accurate and up-to-date information about the pricing range and payment options for units at "The Florence Residences," I recommend visiting the official website of the project or contacting the project's sales office directly.

INSIGNIFICANCE VERSUS SIGNIFICANCE ANNOUNCEMENT3
Announcement3 Headlines:
Uploading Videos On Youtube
About Chung Wun Lam Pass Away
Going Through What Chung Wun Lam Going Through
Database
About Me
Uploading Videos On Youtube I created a Youtube account and channel on youtube.com. To be cohesive with this website, versussystem2.tumblr.com, so I titled that channel as Versus System 2. To verify my account I need to be contracted to a cellphone plan (mobile device). Not Verified Account: Only could upload 15 minutes duration video. Storage space is 15 GB. Verified Account: Could upload 60+ minutes duration video. Much larger storage space. Cellphones Problems: Currently, I have an AT&T Samsung Cellphone and IPhone. The Samsung have the limited battery life problem. The battery life lasted for 3-5 minutes. As for the IPhone, it can't turn on. I purchased multiple different chargers (USB wires) to makes sure the problem is not the IPhone don't have power. So, it can't turn on. But, after trying the different USB wires, it still can't turn on. The IPhone is a gift from Pastor Eric Lam. As for the cellphone contract, from 2006-2011, I would have the regular cellphone contract plan. With the following exceptions: 2008-2011 I have the president position of the Mesa Multimedia Club. 2009-2010 I have the computer monitor position of being in charge of multiple computer labs in DISD (Design Institute of San Diego). So, I upgraded my cellphone. Including adding a few new functions and features to my cellphone. On 2013, during the Double Dilemma in my life. I was looking for the lowest cost to have a cellphone contract. So, I came upon the prepaid cellphone contract. I see the prepaid cellphone contract as the following: This contract have very limited functions and features. As for the text messaging, 10 cents for each messages. If a person able to follow this contract limitation, then that person is saving about half of the regular monthly cellphone contract plan cost. Example: If a person constantly going over the contract limitation, then that person could pay more than the regular monthly cellphone contract plan. My argument is I only needed this contract to make phone calls and receive phone calls. This mean I don't have to have the other functions and features. Because my cellphones is not working. Also, I still have to check if there is the prepaid cellphone contract like in the past. So, I'm not going to have cellphone contract anytime soon. In addition, in the last month of time, I been dealing with more conflicts than before and rushing around. So, I'm giving myself some times to stay on top of my management. This mean I'm giving myself some time before I start asking family member to use their cellphone to verify my account. On May 30, 2023 I roughly counted the videos I recorded. There are 356 videos where I speak in front of the camcorder. There are 87 videos where I demonstrated the Trading Card Game (TCG) match walkthroughs. Each videos at full-length is 60 minutes. The PTTS Session Video are in the range: from 60 minutes up to 960+ minutes. 960+ minutes is 16+ videos. Because of 15 minutes duration video limitation, I will upload the first 15 minutes of each videos. Once I verified my account, then I would upload the rest of the videos. I will post up pictures of my cellphones along with this announcement. Also, the prepaid cellphone contract receipts.
About Chung Wun Lam Pass Away On November 2020, Chung Wun Lam pass away in his room. He is 80+ years old. My birth certificate show that Chung Wun Lam is my biological father. When the ambulance came to our house and the medics carried him into the ambulance. I would tells myself he would returns back to our house after going to the hospital. After days, my mother, Sok Nghim Hoi would leaves the lights in his room on. I would tells myself that once I step into his room, I would sees that he have returns from the hospital. Because I didn't look into his room to check if he have return or not, so I started walking on Lehrer Street for hours of time non-stop. Then, a man approached me and gave me the Happy Thanksgiving greeting. I felt like I haven't made contact with anyone. Beside the pastors in the Chinese Bible Church (CBC). I interpreted that man's greeting as the following: You'll be okay. You'll get pass this. Those lines from the interpretation would be lines those pastors would say to me. That when I told myself that Chung Wun Lam have pass away. He is not returning back to his room. Living With Chung Wun Lam On 2015, I talked with Chung about living with him. He agree with me on my decision. The 99 Ranch Supermarket is a common location that me and him would frequently go to. In that complex there are many different stores, restaurants, bakery, and so on. The following are living with him regular activities:
Every Sunday, I would go with him to the church, Chinese Bible Church (CBC). There is a church member, To who would give me and Chung a ride in his car to the CBC church. Often, To would drives us to the 99 Ranch Supermarket first before going to the CBC church. After church, on our way back to the house. To would usually drop me and Chung off at the 99 Ranch Supermarket complex. After Chung done with buying the things he needed in that complex. I would pushed him in his wheelchair to the bus station. Then, we would rides the bus together back to our house.
Beside going to the 99 Ranch Supermarket complex 2 times on Sunday, once or more every 3 weeks, I would takes him to that complex. I would pushed him in his wheelchair to the bus station. Then, we would rides the bus together to that complex. After Chung done with buying the things he needed in that complex. I would pushed him in his wheelchair to the bus station. Then, we would rides the bus together back to our house.
Once or more every months, I would takes him to the 99 Cents Store. I would pushed him in his wheelchair all the way to the 99 Cents Store. After the 99 Cents Store, on the way back to our house, he would often asked me to stop by McDonald hamburger joint (fast-food restaurant) to get coffees and hamburgers. So, I would do that. The walking distance from our house to the 99 Cents Store is about 20-30 minutes walk.
Furthermore, I don't talk about him. Or bring up topic about him. To avoid the father and son complexity argument. Because of this avoidance, I don't assumes about the relation between me and him. Because of the avoidance and no assumption, me and him relating to each other through our birth certificates and the photos that me and him took together. At the same time, because of the avoidance and no assumption, me and him don't get close to each other. So, I cherished the moments we were together before 2015. Example: The first time, he took me to the city while I was living in the country-side. In conclusion, to attends his funeral and makes speeches in his funeral is equivalent to the following:
I would pretends that the avoidance and no assumption between me and him. Doesn't exist.
To knowledge the things he wanted to talk with me about. A. He wanted to talk with me about the pains and sufferings he is in in his last months of time before his pass away. B. He wanted to talk with me about what happen after he pass away.
I'm ready to openly talking about his pass away to the people in his funeral.
So, I didn't attended his funeral. Chung Wun Lam's Autobiography Book On 2006, he finished writing and printed out 4,000 copies of his autobiography book, "Days of Sorrow". Most of the chapters in that book focus on the years from 1975-1978. In that book he wrote that during that 4 years of time from 1975-1978, while he, Sok Nghim Hoi, and Bun Hong Lam living in Cambodia, there were a regime going on. To avoid conspiracy against Cambodia, he would live in Cambodia while writing that book. At the same time, in the Newspapers published in Cambodia would have stories about Chung writing a book on him, Nghim, and Bun living in Cambodia during 1975-1978. I will post up pictures of Chung and his autobiography book along with this announcement.
Going Through What Chung Wun Lam Is Going Through Even though, Chung Wun Lam pass away in our house with our family members around him. Also, our family members have a funeral for him. Following the Chinese tradition by having a picture of him up on the shelve in our house. But, the argument is I sees that during his last months of his life, he is in pains and sufferings. Also, there were not that many people around him to care for him. Because I didn't attended his funeral. So, I sees that people don't care enough to attended his funeral. This argument could lead to the following misunderstanding: Show More Caring: If I shows more caring to Chung and attended his funeral, then I would sees that his pass away is in lesser pains and sufferings. He would lives on through the memories of the many people who attended his funeral. Not Showing Enough Caring: Because of not showing enough caring, I'm concerns about have to go through what he have to go through such as in pain and suffering and die alone. To clear this misunderstanding, I would have goals similar to the Trading Card Game (TCG) Pioneer goals: 1. Working toward a Stable, Official, And Long-term Database. 2. To makes the following fundament a practice in my life: Whenever making an argument makes sure to have evidences to support that argument. The reasons I have those 2 goals is because the unstable database and making arguments without evidences is what started those misunderstandings. In addition, because of the distress in my life, during my last days of time, I been praying to have my life back. Also, to stay on top of my management.
Database To list my status, it is related to database, tournaments, and arguments. The database, tournaments, and arguments is part of my Trading Card Game (TCG) Pioneer goals. The following are the TCG Pioneer goals: 1. Working toward a Stable, Official, and Long-term database. 2. To professionally engage in products that have Trading Card Game's (TCG) formula. Also, professionally engage in arguments with those TCG's formulas. The following have a lot of information about me: In IVS Announcement1 and IVS Announcement2, I announced the conflicts in my life highlights. In addition, for the people who have visited my website, tratct.tumblr.com, many of the contents on the 6 Blocks from April 2017 to 2020 is equivalent to professionally engage on the TCG Pioneer goals including finding solution to the TCG Pioneer conflicts. Furthermore, the following is a briefed summarization of the conflicts on my build up status:
Highlights Summarization 1. To have a balance and stay on top of my management on the daily activities in my life and the tournament activities in my life. Highlights Summarization 2. To have a balance and stay on top of my management on the conflicts in my life and the conflicts with my TCG Pioneer goals. Highlights Summarization 3. On September 1999 after I got 10 first places in 10 Pokemon tournaments, my younger brother, Du Hong Lam also joined the Pokemon tournament. He been in the same tournaments I'm in after that.
Occupied By Objectives: I'm occupied by the following objectives: I would handles the conflicts/arguments from #1-3. Also, I would maintains the standard in my life. At the same time, use that standard in my life to standardized the game rooms I'm in. Opposing Side Arguments: Whatever time I have left in my schedule after carried out my objectives responsibilities and duties, I would defends myself against the opposing side of the arguments. Example: Opposing side would wants to make arguments against me. Also, creates contradictions in my life. Because of Occupied By Objectives and Opposing Side Arguments, getting caught up with the database would lead to the following:
I can't handle Highlights Summarization 1 and Highlights Summarization 2, because Highlights Summarization 1 and Highlights Summarization 2 have created too much weights in my life.
Even though, the tournament have regulation. But, people could find ways to get around the regulation and make arguments and/or conspire conspiracy about Du Hong Lam in the same tournaments as me.
My works on professionally engaging in the database. Could misunderstand as I'm using the database to look into players' deck biographies. Then, I would used those deck biographies information to construct decks to win against those players.
Because of #1-3, I have the priority on professional engage in the database. At the same time, not get caught with looking at the database. Because of Occupied By Objectives and Opposing Side Arguments, there are not that much time in my schedule. In conclusion, to be on the same page with the people who are reading this, those people have to see that the players, spectators, and coordinators are the witness to the number of first places I have in the tournaments. Also, those people have to see that my writing is the tournament regulation and database.
