Cheap diesel fuel near me

Dating apps are pretty bad, and I don't get an opportunity to put myself out there as much as I'd like. Maybe Reddit will work out? It's worth a shot anyways.
Why you should date me:
I'm a good listener. People have always sought me out to tell me what's going on with their lives.
I'm super open minded and flexible. I like trying new things or taking part in most activities.
I'm (semi) tall. Nearly, but not quite, 6 feet tall.
I'm not extremely extroverted, but I'm not super introverted either. I'm the nice, balanced mix in the middle
I'll take this seriously. I'm trying to settle down and find someone to love. Hopefully you are too?
Full disclosure: I've never been in a relationship, so this is all new to me. I think it's time that I put myself out there though, so I'm trying here.
I'm only looking for something completely in person. I'm open to anything long distance, but we'd have to plan to meet sooner than later. Also, I'm not interested in anyone older than 37. The closer you are to my age, the more preference I have, but all those 18-37 who are interested are encouraged to send me a PM.
Please PM me and we can get to know each other. I'm hoping to see some orange envelopes

I'm so sick and tired of how hard diesel is to come by if you don't have a storage depot or seaport nearby! The amount of diesel you get from siphoning a crane or a cv after hammering it is okay in the early game but when tanks come out it's not nearly enough. Even though I still feel bad for the logi men that have to submit and pull vehicles dozens of times, constantly spamming the siphon button to fill eventually fill Fuel Containers, its so much worse on the frontline! At least if I'm at a frontline near a beach I can hammer out motorboats to make the process a bit faster.
​
Yesterday I ran out of fuel with my Hatchet and it took about an hour and 15 minutes to get back to a full fuel tank! I probably used over 4k bmats! I understand that fuel is incredibly important during this period of history and the lack of it motivated the great powers of the time, but this message is a bit forced in Foxhole.
​
I just really wish there was a better option for getting Diesel.

Hey y’all, here’s some personal background: I am diagnosed with PTSD from experiencing a lot of deaths when I was between the ages of 15 and 16. I am constantly looking out for things which could possibly hurt or kill me.
—
I’m a mid-level manager at my workplace and I have an employee whom I never had an issue with previously. I had to write them up for attendance, and the reaction they had has been really messing with me.
They were upset (obviously), but they seemed to be blaming me for the issue (which isn’t anything new, but this was… different). After this, they have been insubordinate and just plain disrespectful to me and the other managers, but I can’t make myself approach the employee to talk to them about the situation because I feel like they are going to harm me or others in some way.
The problem I’m having is that I have not received any direct threat or anything, so I can’t fire anyone based off of what is going on in my head. But if I go the route with the insubordination, our HR department requires us to do a whole bunch of written warnings before we can fire someone. And it can be a months-long process.
My coworkers aren’t really ever available to help me with anything, and I don’t want to approach the situation alone. (And my coworkers are aware of my anxieties and triggers, but they honestly couldn’t care less about me…)
I mean, I’ve been having nightmares about this person shooting up the place, and I had to take a week off because I was scared to go in. I just don’t think anyone takes me seriously. Our HR department is all about giving people “a chance to improve”…
When I started my job (7 years ago), we had a more iron-fist approach with these types of people. But since COVID-19, we have been short-staffed and HR has gone soft on everything.
This is making it nearly impossible for me to effectively do my job, and it’s been affecting my home-life as well.
—
TLDR: My employee gives me a scary vibe, and I want to report them without evidence of a direct threat. HR probably won’t help me because of legality.

"No I'm not going to out you! Why would I do something like that?"

You lovelies know I just had to write a script for celebrating Pride month - and what better way than taking some of my favorite super-themed tropes and combining them?
​
Premise: You’re a hero, enjoying a rare night off and taking part in a special event. What you didn’t expect, however, was to run into your villainous rival.
​
Writer's Notes:

• There is a brief mention of homophobes mentioned (in the context of them being scared off by villains) near the late/end of the script, but none are directly involved with the Speaker or Listener
• This script was made to be friendly for all letters of the alphabet mafia (even if the villain takes a moment to catch on to some as a possibility at first - no I'm not using my experience as an Ace, why do you ask?)
• I purposely kept it vague as to whether the villain was truly interested in the hero, and if the feelings were returned (for reasons referenced above) so feel free to interpret that however you wish!

I hope you enjoy, and feel free to monetize wherever you wish - just let me know so I can come check it out for myself!

Naghahanap kasi yung friend ko (female) ng matutuluyan sadly di ko siya pwede patuluyin sa dorm ko kaya ayun tutulungan ko na lang siya maghanap ng pwede kasi magdedestress lang daw siya TIA

Hello everyone, introduction first: Eldar is my favorite faction of 40k and Harlequins - favorite sub-faction, for a long time already. They are not the most popular guys in this universe, but they recently attracted everyone's attention, in a bad way, by being the most broken codex/sub-faction for 2 editions straight. And when they became a target for discussions, I could not help noticing that people don't really know or understand "what" Harlequins are, which is okay, as they are really not the most interesting faction to many. But I still decided to do them justice, by making this post and introduce you to these fun dudes in diamonds, answering common questions, misconceptions and telling why they are so cool, without getting into lore much.
And first of all...
...Harlequins are not space clowns.
I'm sorry, but I guess I should point this out. Harlies being called space clowns is a common community meme, but this is not who they really are. While there are clear similarities, they are not yours weird, evil-funny, chaotic-neutral killer-elves with Joker laughter (but they certainly can do all of it, don't get me wrong!). So, who are they then?
Harlequins are priests.
You know the drill, eldar empire go boom, gods are dead, with only one (fully) left alive. Yea, Cegorach is a god of fools, but he still a "God". So, he got his acolytes and priests. And if we would've got Isha or Asuryan left, we would've got our normal standard "priests". Instead, we've got Cegorach.
Harlequins are preachers (sort of).
So, being part of fool's god church, harlequins main job is preaching among all the remnants of the eldar empire. And they do it with a theater tour across webway, preaching about how you should or shouldn't act but with (Megamind voice) PRESENTATION!
Harlequins are eldar Grey Knights.
The other part of a job, is keeping an eye on daemons. While their true goal is to defeat Slaanesh (duh), harlies also fight any kinds of daemons. While, yes, there was no special harlequin to defeat chaos Primarch and carve a tattoo on his heart (yet), they are quite good at it. Stopping planets from cosplaying doom is quite easy for them, when they can freely travel across the galaxy with a webway, and a farseers, working for them as a funny weather forecast presenter. Speaking of which...
Harlequins are the most influential eldar faction
You know, eldar are not pleasant folks. Even a "good guys" from a neighboring craftworld have a rough relationship. And then you got harlies, who always come without an invitation and get away with it. They could just emerge before (or during) battle or raid and say they're joining (you are not allowed to refuse. If you feel some "Inquisition" vibes, it's because that's what it is). There is a general rule about harlequins: when they come - you let them in and listen, because...
Harlequins are scary.
You don't want to mess with these weirdos. Like, really. No dark eldar archon, regardless of how cruel and devious he is, would willingly act against harlequins. They behave funny, speak politely, without ever getting out of their theatrical roles, but any "blasphemy" would be your last mistake (Yep, they really are eldar inquisition in fancy dresses).
Moving to tabletop: did they really have 60%+ winrate? Why?
Two words. Glass cannon. And also they are fast as hell. Yes, they are thin as paper, but enemy can't hurt you if he is dead. Just hide behind walls and then jump out and start blasting. This is fine on your regular, casual tables without a lot of walls, but did you see how terrain looks on tournaments tables? It's damn mazes of ruins!
Also, most rules are, how should I say it, well, bullshit. You know how you normally use your boltguns for infantry and meltaguns for vehicles? Well, this is not true for harlies. Melta just don't work, but boltguns, actually, very effective against all targets. Shooting with plasma? Not effective at all. Hitting clown with a boot? This is the way! Don't forget, that these funny dudes can jump into melee, then jump out, shoot you and charge you. Also, they are flying. Also, they all have invul. Also, this is melta-pistols, so say goodbye to your tank.
But this was never the point of why I like to play them.
So, what's fun to play them?
Outside of lore, and obvious "glasscannonness" I think I find several reasons for myself:
Really unique playstyle.
I mean it. You are king of the movement phase. And it's not only about that you "gotta go fast". Wall on your path? Ignore it. Penalties for leaving ongoing close combat? Ignore it. Enemy frontline? You guessed it.
Band of "mercenaries".
There are not many factions in 40k who could freely join other armies, without stealing a spotlight. Harlequins are the one. They could work as a single army, but now I prefer to use a small detachment of them in different eldar armies. It's very entertaining to see them adapt different playstyle, when your troupe fights alongside seer council from craftworld in one game, to then join incubi charge in the next.
Specialist team
Harlequins always have a good variety of options to compensate for their humble model range. My favorite time was at the end of 8th edition, when depending on your choice of special rules, your Death Jester (shooting character) could be either a Vindicare cosplayer, a heavy machine gunner, a vehicle hunter, or just a really cheap model for objective holding. And I'm not even talking about absolutely legal 9th edition 500pts detachment consisting with only one unit in your deployment zone: a floating boat full of characters.
About painting...
Yea, painting diamonds is a gimmick as much as you would've expected. I paint my theater in midnight sorrow scheme (posterboys, black, with blue/red diamonds). Fun fact: this is my first painted 40k army (this is why there are no photos, don't want to hurt your eyes), also used glossy paints for them, gives an interesting look and a good contrast with my dull black Ulthwe and Black Heart parties.
In some sort of conclusion
There is a lot of lore I don't cover here, because the point of this post was to quickly introduce people to harlequins on a surface level, if they don't really want to go deep into it. But if this post makes you curious to know more about them, you really should check wiki or their codex, there is a lot of cool stuff there.
Also, for my fellow troupe masters, if you want to add something to this post, feel free to do so.
p.s. text can be filled with language errors, me sorry, me speak bad.

I really hope I'm missing something obvious, but I've been using PCVR for years and never run into this before. I have a new Pimax Crystal and have done the room setup nearly every day. Each time I start Steam VR I end up under the floor. The quickest way to fix this is with OVR Advanced Settings. But, the system button on the controller won't activate the Steam Menu overlay, so basically it's impossible to use.
After fiddling for about 30 minutes the Steam overlay sometimes shows up and I can fix the floor and try playing something, but I can never get back to the steam menu overlay to recenter the view, jump to another game, etc. I just end up fiddling around for 30 minutes and just giving up.
I've seen two failure modes: 1) the menu never shows up. or 2) the menu shows up after exactly 10 seconds. I'm running a 12900K with a 4090 FE, so I wouldn't think I'm taxing anything by requesting the system menu.
I've re-installed the Pimax client and Steam VR and that usually fixes things for a couple hours, only to be back to square one the next day. Anyone else run in to this? Hopefully someone can just tell me I'm an idiot and need to turn on "x y z" to fix it. lol. Thanks!

Fellas (and the Fellettes too),
I need some advice. I’m 36 and I love my boys (6 and 3), but I’m finding myself getting spun up really easily around bed time (7:30-8:00). For example, if they’re both trying to get my attention while I’m reading a story, I almost lose it. I get all stern and ask them if they want to keep reading or just go to bed. My wife is noticing and helps when she’s near, and it only happens at the end of the day.
This wasn’t me last year and I’m getting really concerned that I can’t seem to chill out anymore.
I did move jobs within my organization this past year, but honestly, pretty much everything has gotten better: more sleep, less stressful deadlines, I’m actually working out more frequently, more free time on the weekends, etc.
Wondering if anyone has experienced the same and if you’ve been able to make some changes/corrections. I just don’t want it to get worse.
Looking forward to hearing what you guys have to say.

My bf and I have been in a relationship for nearly five months. Our relationship status’ is evident on both of our public social media’s. I had been going to school in his town but I recently had to go back home after finishing my first year.
Yesterday, a classmate of mine had messaged me with a screenshot of my bf’s tinder profile. It was active. This was at 11:57pm at night. When I confronted him, he had told me he had only been using it to make friends. He also added that he had been using Hinge and Bumble alongside Tinder. He then provided another screenshot an hour later, showing he had added to his dating bio “I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, LOOKING FOR FRIENDS”.
I don’t know if I believe him or not. We had been going through a rough patch lately as I believe we had both been away from each other for about a month now as I had to return home. I just don’t understand why he felt the need to look for friends on dating apps of all things. When explaining this to him, he didn’t seem to get it and had simply stated that it was so he could get in touch with people in the area. He has told me has deleted them after I told how I had felt. But I still don’t feel alright. My stomach is twisting and I feel sick.
TL;DR Is my boyfriend cheating on me?

I'm attending CC part time and getting an AA in three years instead of two. This way I can continue working ~40hrs a week, a factor that I can't change due to bills.
I'm striving to keep my GPA near 4.0, but everything I read says that colleges want someone with ECs. I don't currently have any due to my work schedule and the long commute time from house/job to campus (classes are online/sister campus for me). How can I work ECs into my schedule or, ideally, just make up for the lack thereof?
Note: I do have an instrument that I practice on when I have spare time. Would this work? I'm not a savant with it, nor do I plan on becoming a music major (as much as I'd love to).

So about a week ago, I woke up to find that both of my hands were partially numb, from the thumb to the middle finger. After being awake for a short while this went away. But that day, I found that my left index finger started doing a weird thing.
It keeps twitching. It feels like it pulls inward toward my middle finger, as though there's a muscle spasm. It seems to get worse after I use it for anything or stretch the area, and it has been getting gradually worse over time. It also feels kind of stiff and is nearly straight when I relax my hand. I went to a clinic a few days ago but the doctor didn't look at it, and just told me that I probably have carpal tunnel.
I can't find any information online about what this might be or what to do about it. Everything I have seen for finger spasms goes along with a host of other symptoms that I'm not having. Anyone have any thoughts?

So I recently watched a video on DC character Timothy Hunter (British boy wizard with similar aesthetic + pet owl) that sent me down a rabbit hole of "Harry Potter-like characters" that came before the Harry Potter series, and thought I'd just share what I found. From latest to earliest:
Summer Magic: The Journal of Luke Kirby (1998 until 1995; comic by Alan Mckenzie)

Due to his mother being sick, Luke goes to live with his Uncle Elias in British village Lunstead in 1962. His uncle turns out to be a magician and takes on Luke as his apprentice. But there's a mysterious monster in the woods hunting people that Luke will have to defeat. And even more in the future on his way to becoming the greatest alchemist.

Fun Fact: In the late-1990s, The series was almost brought to the tv screen, but McKenzie refused to sign his rights to Luke away. So the characteseries faded out of public eye by the time Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was released (1998). Somewhere there's an alternate timeline where movies of Luke Kirby was made instead of Harry Potter.
Wizard's Hall by Jane Yolen (published 1991)

Henry, nicknamed Thornmallow by his new peers, is sent by his mother to a magical school for young wizards... but his spellwork abilities (or lack thereof) could use some practice. He must save his new friends, fulfill an ancient prophecy, and help overthrow a powerful, evil wizard.

Huh, that rings a bell. Or more like if Neville had been the main character (in the sense of his bad luck with magic when he first started). But even just from the book cover, I really wanna read this.
Krabat by German author Ottfried Preußler (published in 1971).

"Krabat, a twelve-years old orphan, lives homeless in 16th century Saxony near the border between current Germany and -Poland. One night, he has a dream where a crow tells him trice that he should go to the black mill. Krabat agrees, hoping to find food and a new home. He is welcomed by the miller who tells him that this mill is a school of magic. Krabat begins his (hard) education as a miller and as a wizard."

There's an evil wizard he must defeat, and he is also 17 years old when the story ends. However, it's bloodier and the magic system is very different: occult-based black magic. And I read somewhere that it's based off of Krabat from Sorbian folklore?
A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin (Parnassus, 1968)

"A boy with unusual aptitude for magic is recognized, and sent to a special school for wizards. On his first day, Ged encounters two other students, one of whom becomes his best friend, and the other, a haughty aristocratic rival. Ged later receives a scar in his struggle with a demonic shadow which can possess people."

His characterization is quite different from Harry, where Ged starts off arrogant and prideful (unlike Harry who is quite humble) but changes for the better. And SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Since Ged wins by becoming 'whole' with his demonic half?, I almost imagine him as if Tom Riddle were the protagonist instead but also his own enemy, battling to recombine his soul... Though there's enough parallels between Harry and Tom that Harry technically defeats "who" he himself could have become at his worst, aka Voldemort.
There were some others, but these were the ones that stood out most of me. I gotta ask:

• I'm fascinated by obscurer, older works. Are there any others books that came before Harry Potter that seemed relatively similar (wizard boy + wizarding school + evil to defeat)?
• Anyone have experience with the above stories; did you like them?
• And are there any slash HP fanfic that kind deviate from the usual mold and embody the above stories' differences somehow:
  • Summer Magic (Harry as apprentice in alchemy to someone like Sirius, or a monster hunter?)
  • Wizard's Hall (Harry is hopeless at magic to start/ doesn't have a reputation as the BWL, or Neville's POV?)
  • Krabat (darker, more occult magical system, or a different place in Europe than Britain?)
  • A Wizard of Earthsea (Harry starts off prideful/jerkish but grows as a person; I need a Drarry rivalry where he's much as a prideful prick as Draco in everything but blood-status stat!)

So I was about 16 and working a crap job in the kitchen of a major chain seafood place. We got this new line cook that was a pretty big dick to everyone, but for some reason focused a bit more on me. Not sure what I ever did to him, but anytime he saw me there was a snide remark, or a shitty joke.
I finally got tired of it, and mentioned it to my bf and his friend who worked at a service station (remember those?)
While I was on shift and there was no doubt about where I was, they went out to our parking lot and removed the valve stems from all 4 of his tires. No permanent damage a but a HUGE inconvenience.
We were both off about the same time. I went out the front to wait for my ride, he went out the back door to the parking lot. Next thing I know he is storming out of the kitchen and into the lobby raging at me. Damn near got himself fired, it was a full house. I told him I've been here all day, I didn't know what the hell his problem was.
Now the best part. He took those tires to our friend's service station. The same guy that removed the valve stems put the new ones back in and told him to have a great day.

Holy shit I’ve never been so annoyed in my life. Landlord hasn’t been around to sign the lease in 2 months since I’ve been living here. Was a perfect spot and I jumped on it. Super cheap and super ideal location.
I’ve been paying $850 a month until July when they said it will be $900. Fine. A $50 discount is great.
Then they say “oh no that was a mistake the rent is really $925 and you should have been paying $875 until july” and I’m like well that’s not what we agreed to, and I sent you an email confirming the rent as you asked me to, and you haven’t complained for the first three months I’ve been paying you the amount we agreed to.
And I know for a fact this is more than a 2% increase from the last tenant, he’s a friend.
I’m not paying the extra. But my god why start this shit over $300 a year? I’ve refused to pay more and asked them if they really wanted to start off our relationship with a bait and switch. I realize it’s just $25 a month but fuck.

Hello everyone! I am an incoming freshman this fall and am wondering if any of you have a recommendation for a laptop for me as a computer science major. I have a budget of 1600 and was thinking of getting a m1 pro 14" (16gb/1tb) as I found it on sale for 1600. (I would prefer it to be near the upper portion of my budget as I plan to keep it for 6ish years.) Any advice would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Disregard this rant if you're one of the people in Chicago and you know what's really going on and actually care about your city/fellow citizens in Chicago. At least the ones that aren't doing wrong or being stupid.
First, stop voting blue no matter who and voting people in just because they're a POC. This isn't about a tribalistic win or the "power of diversity." This is about people being able to get basic supplies in a convenient manner and being safe/able to defend themselves effectively. The mainstream democrat doesn't care about this neither does everyone who happens to be POC. Look at El Salvador, they voted in someone who promised to be tough on crime. While he may be harsh, he's effective and those people haven't had to live in fear like they used to as long as they aren't doing wrong. If you want to be stupid or stubborn and fxck yourself over, then do it on your own time. It's disrespectful and evil to do that to your fellow citizens.
Secondly, stop blaming businesses for leaving. If you don't want to make it safer for them to operate there, then stfu. Businesses don't run to lose money and employees don't sign up to be put in harm's way for fun. Turn your frustration to the thieves and attackers.
Finally, get people to run for mayor and such that actually care. Don't get people that see you as means to an end and nothing more. What mayor sees people worried about the safety of innocent people especially children and people struggling to live and tells them that they need to shut up? I don't live anywhere near Chicago and he pissed me off with that idiotic and stubborn sentiment.

Sooo.. hubbie and I are buying a house we're very excited for but the inspection came back as less than satisfying. The main issues were

1. Plumbing is going to need to be replaced in the near future.. I bet that ain't cheap.
2. All of the rooms had "3 prong ungrounded outlets" what is that?
3. An improper p-trap in the kitchen sink.
4. A water heater that will need to be replaced soon.
5. Some minor (hopefully) cracks in the foundation.
6. The inspector also wrote there was a safety concern that the "chimney flue/vent pipe has inadequate clearance to combustible materials. repair as needed"

This list sounds expensive. My realtor said our next step is to send the repairs to the seller. What exactly does that mean? She explained but im not fully understanding I don't think. I'm worried this will cost me an arm and a leg after paying quite a bit for the house :( It's a very lovely updated house but I guess it just has some minor (or maybe major, im not sure how major those things listed are) deficiencies, which im assuming is normal, but I'm also not sure. Thoughts? Is this part of buying a house or does this house have more problems than the average? Does anyone have an estimate on how much any of these issues would cost to fix?
