I bought a recurve 20lb bow a few weeks ago and have not been able to find something on how much should I pull bowstring. I've been using a target at about 15m away have been getting fairly good at indexing and hitting close to center but one thing I have not been able to figure out is how far should I pull ? Earlier I was pulling back right till I felt roughly constant tension coming from the bow and onto my body and the anchor point being below my eye. I found this working great but recently I was about to take a shot and decided to pull further back (about 2 inches or so and the anchor point now moved back below my ear), and let go of it. The shot was about 6 inches higher, with a lot of speed, everything else was the same, it didn't go left or right. I tried this a few more times using the same form and it usually hit 6ish inches above. If I am accurate at this draw strength and the earlier draw strength, then how much should one pull back. What I mean is do you always pull as far back as possible with the pulling arm or should there be a little slack left. I was already trying to pull back as far back this meant that I was not. Does this means that I am pulling further becasue of getting stronger or is it because I am "pulling it too much". Or is there nothing like pulling too far back ? I feel like there is at least 4 more inches left to pull out of the slack but am thinking if it will damage the bow ? Basically what I want to know is do you pull back as far as possible everytime or are people able to control power by using different draw lengths when shooting depending on distance? Is this even a thing or am I overthing this too much ?
Thanks.

Thank you once again!!

I've been really frantic about this for a while now and it's been playing in the back of my head for weeks.
A few weeks ago I was at school hanging out with my bestie , she was sitting on the brick wall by the hill (the hill is really small and the wall is barely knew high) and I was standing opposite of her. We see my crush walking with his friend, he sees us (they're not very close to us but they're not far either). Then they start talking to a girl (more specifically my crush) he sits down with her and his friend carries on standing opposite them.
Now by this time one of our guy friends showed up and started talking to us, we were having a good time. From time to time I'd look over and I'd either catch his friend, him or the girl (or both of them) looking over in our direction (I assumed it was cause I confessed a few months ago) . It had been a few minutes and 3 other of our guy friends came over, now we start having a ball and I'm laughing my ass off, it was really fun. Later my crushes cousin (who's also my friend, I love him so much) shows up and we're all talking he asks me were my crush is knowing damn well were he is (I have my back turned to my crush now while I'm talking to him).
I tell him were he is and he that he's with some girl, he tells me he knows that girl but he's not telling me (ass) so I leave if there. The next day I walk into school and see one of my guy friends (not from the other day) I mentally planned on saying hey to him when he stopped. Once we got into the school (were students usually wait for each other) I see my crush and his friend (different friend from the other day) he sees me (I think?) And I see him, now my friends stopped to say hey to other people so I turn away from my crush and go to say hey to him.
We greet each other and he gives me a hug. Now I was kinda caught of guard because my crush was there but still hugged him as usual. We walk together until we get to our blocks and seperate. My bestie shows up later and we start walking, a few minutes later we stop when we see out another one of our guy friends then I see my crush, his friend and 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥. Now we stopped walking and my bestie was talking to out friend while I was spacing out, once I stopped spacing out I saw my crush walk past us (the girl was in front on him and we were facing diagonal of them) and he glared at me???
I'm not sure if I saw wrong or what but the man full on side eyed me like what the fuck??? The day carried on normally with me begging my friend to tell me about the girl, I bribed him with some cupcakes and got a few bits and pieces like the fact that he was texting the girl when they were fishing together. Later I found out my girl friend is friends with that girl and she's a grade above him. She assured me that they were definitely not dating but I'm not convinced...

So I'm not 100% new. I've plastidipped wheels and grille on one of my older vehicles. I just got a 2023 cx30 and first order of business was shadow black hyperdip all chrome/alloy on the vehicle. hyperdip itself is new to me though
I've already done front grille, roof racks, wheels, side window chrome. All areas look good despite some minor imperfections that I don't think 99% of people would ever notice.
But what I expected to be the easiest part, has proven to the the hardest. The rear Mazda and CX-30 logos. I'm on attempt #3, currently on 3 of 6 wet coats waiting for it to dry.
Every single time so far both emblems, when peeling at the end, have peeled back over the chrome. both previous attempts it happened at the same spot on the emblems and based on what I'm seeing as of wet coat 3, I feel like it's going to happen again. I just can't figure out where things are going wrong on these specific areas. I'm taking extra care to clean the surface and to make sure it's dry. 2 light tack coats then 6 wet out coats changing the direction I come in from each time. It just will not cut cleanly around these 2 areas. It's driving me fucking nuts. the AWD emblem was such a pain in the ass the first 2 times I straight up removed it for this third attempt. If I decide I want the AWD back I'll just buy an already black one. In fact, if this 3rd attempt fails I'm likely to just give up and buy black ones to replace the chrome.
For the record, I'm doing this in ~68 degree weather with 42% humidity and placed the can in bowl of warm water between coats. I've watched this video like 5 times to make sure I wasn't overlooking something.

I’ve read posts from others trying to get past these 2 fears but I’m clearly still doing it wrong because I keep triggering the lasers, which causes me to get my butt kicked by the fears. It’s the section where there are 2 lasers going different directions. From what I’ve read, somehow one of the fears is supposed to help block the laser but I cannot figure out where I should stand. If anyone knows of a diagram or even a video that demonstrates how to get past this, I would really appreciate it.

I (19NB) recently hopped onto a bus that travelled all the way across the island. I stayed in a mental hospital for a night, and then I was sent to a homeless shelter. I'm actually mentally doing a lot better than before I left home. These people at the shelter intend to help me find housing, too.
I come from a pretty sketchy background, and my family members essentially shamed me for judging them because of everything that happened. I felt betrayed and torn, my trust was gone, and I have seen far too much.
My older sister headed out to go to work one day and a few minutes later, I grabbed my bags full of clothes, important information, etc, and called a Taxi by using TextNow on my tablet. I got into the taxi, and the driver took me to the place where the bus would make its daily stop in my community. Over an hour later, I got onto the bus.
I was reported missing, but a sergeant did a wellness check when I was partway through my trip, and the missing report was quickly debunked. A couple of hours before I was in my destined location, my mother came onto the bus and was worried about me.
She asked why I was leaving and said she loved me and wanted me to contact her when I made it to the city. I agreed to it, but never did contact because of how nervous I was. I had a small feeling that she would figure out why I left.
Maybe a day or 2 later, I made a post to Facebook to simply state that I'm perfectly fine. I didn't open the messages, but I saw the preview of mudder's texts. She sent me angry messages, being angry about me not messaging her at all and knowing what I said about her in social situations.
I have friends who know the real story, and they support me. They know that I've lived through a lot and that I mentally wasn't okay.
Mudder even made a Facebook post about my situation to update people. Her post says, "She is found. She is moving, apparently. I wish her all the best. All I can say is, wow. I am sucker punched. I love her... and I wish her well. Wow... not enough words. Anyone on that bus, let her know that mom loves her girl. Wow."
It actually hurts for me to read that post. I blocked her and my sister on Facebook. My sister supported her, and not long before I left home, she called me super judgemental and hypersensitive.

Hail Satan

Hey everyone!
I've asked five different employees between two different stores, and no one could answer this, so I figured I'd ask you all. You all seem friendly and welcoming.
I'm a customer and I have a Lowe's credit card.
I would like to purchase an electric range; I would also like to take advantage of the 0% and pay it off in about 10 months.
What happens at say month 4 if I decide to go back to Lowe's and make another purchase of something random for $130 and this time, I decide I want the 5% discount.

• Can I then go online and make a payment and pay off only the new purchase of $130?
  
• Or does my next payment automatically cover the new purchase (assuming I pay more than $130)?
  
• Or does the $130 purchase go to the back of the line and sits there until I pay off the range?
  

In other words, how do I ensure I can pay both the original transaction at 0% for 12 months and pay the new transaction right away without incurring any interest?
/side rant: I can't be the only one who's thought of this, who's been in this situation, right? There have to be other people who've taken advantage of 0% for 12 months, and then needed to use the card again a few months later. I didn't want to be the guy asking for a manager for a question which to me seems is very simple. Maybe I just happen to come across five brand new employees.

I'm attempting to make my first landing page. I figured I should come up with a list of things to the might be included on the landing page and build from there. There's a lot of landing page inspiration on the sub, but I thought it might be nice to have a list of ideas for myself and future newbies.
​
So far my list is:
A map of the area
A bag of Holding with a link to the party inventory
Friends and Foes with pictures and descriptions of the campaign npcs
Some coins with link to the party fund (maybe that would be in the inventory)
Character sketches if I can find ones that look like them
​
What are some other things that I might be missing. It doesn't have to be campaign or system specific.

Someone on the other board asked basically what they saw for Sorrento Exiting CH11, I’m sharing my response to that post her as well because I’m juts not getting how this seems to be so difficult for Sorrento to execute on and resolve.
I’m just hoping Henry’s desire and obsession with keeping the company(s) whole doesn’t backfire and bring the entire house of cards down. To me at least, they seem to be conducting themselves as if they expect to emerge from all of this. But all anyone has to do is review and realize Sorrento has made MANY acquisitions/purchases over the last few years and all they need to do is eject any of those, either all in whole or piece part, to raise substantial capital, this includes it’s sizable position in SCLX regardless of how uncomfortable they may be doing this. From where I’m watching, coming out of CH11 should be easily achievable if they shed some acquisitions or purchases. I think many of us forget how many different entities Sorrento kept buying, or taking ownership in, that ended up sitting or not delivering, such as the manufacturing entity when they were trying to shore up their COVISTix agenda (one of many examples of wasteful spending at out expense). Get rid of them, the greater health of the company, and shareholders, is at stake so these should be forfeit. I’d be surprised if the judge and committee would allow Sorrento themselves to go under considering their stake in SCLX alone would resolve everything, even at these deflated prices.

My ex girlfriend (F19) had drunk sex with someone and I (M19) feel horrible
So the title might throw you off but this is something that affected me way more than I thought. So my ex and I were always on and off, but I guess you can say our feelings never went away. She hurt me a lot through the relationship, couple things being she would post ab her ex using tiktoks, she would ignore me at times and when we got into arguments she would say she didn't care about me but the next day she would. She also has depression and BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), I've always tried to be understanding of that and help her but she didn't make much progress. She would self sabotage and I was usually the only one she would go to.
Despite these things, our chemistry was great and if they never happened, we would be together and happy. But flash forward, things would get bad and I would try to separate myself from her because I didn't want to keep getting hurt but each time she would text me wanting me back and saying she'll work on herself. So I said ok, but it kept happening and I kept separating myself. Sometimes a little too often and she finally caved and said she shouldn't chase after someone who doesn't want her. In reality, I always had feelings for her and I told her I cared but she didn't see it that way and swore me off, went party hopping with other guys and went on dates. I did not talk to any other girls. But when she was having panic attacks and needed to go to the hospital for a sickness, I helped her. I never stopped thinking about her despite everything she did to me.
My grandmother passed away and while out on vacation from college she would drunk text me after I specifically told her not to because I would be mourning and in a funeral. Saying she didn't need me and didn't care for me. I got back and I thought to myself, she really hurt me with that but I always hurt her from separating so easily, maybe I caused this. One of my biggest mistakes and I was so ignorant. I tried making things right and wanted to stay committed but she didn't make it easy. A lot of times she would say she didn't care and then the next day she did, over and over again. We got into lots of arguments but I stayed calm and wanted to fix things despite she was hurting me. Eventually she regained feelings and we were good for a time. Until we got into another argument about me not answering the phone after she went to Florida with family on spring break.
I explained I was with family and couldnt answer because we were all eating, she took her time to answer my texts and so did I. It boiled up to a point where she ignored my texts and calls for the rest of the day, only answering at night when i was out with family again. I left and talked to her asking why and that I was pissed off how she just ignored me, I told her it didn't even seem like she cared. Not surprisingly, she said why would she care about a person who does that, as in her thinking I ignored her. Ig a lot of the past just boiled up and either of us had a hard time letting it go. I did my best to and wanted to make it work so bad, even when I felt like I was wasting my time. I bought her gifts and on valentines day I bought her a gift bag full of stuff and fed her with my money.
Despite all this she once again didn't care about me. I flipped out and got super emotional, after everything I did, she's doing that again. I told her I hated how she made me feel and went off, I told her maybe I should just stop because she was a piece of shit and she said fine settle for less and hanged up. Come to find out she went to a club with her cousin and her friends so I texted her asking why didn't you tell me. Another argument occurred and I was breaking down over the phone to her and she said I was ruining her night. I hanged up and she called asking what do I want and I broke it off. Found out from her friend she went twerking on other guys after that and kept saying it was my fault things were the way they were. After that I never got back with her, but that didn't stop us from talking.
She apologized a bunch texting me asking for me back but I never caved. But I did help her still when she needed it with her mental issues and we still acted like a couple being in bed together. We still had sex and she broke down when I was leaving college to go home. I guess deep down no matter what happened I still cared about her even when she was suicidal. Everytime over the phone I always comforted her with the issues she had. You might be wondering if she's crazy or just not worth it, well when she was in highschool she was raped and cheated on and dealt with a lot of home problems. She never really recovered from that because she kept it to herself. She always asked for me back but I told her to move on. I couldn't bring myself to block her because it felt lonely and she used to be my best friend. We had a pregnancy scare and I told her to take a test and asked if she had sex with anybody. She kept asking why and dodging the question but I persisted.
Well, come to find out that night before, she went out got drunk and hooked up with someone she says she barely remembers. She said it was nothing and said she accepted that she had to move on but it just hit me for some reason and we got into an argument. I told her I never want to speak to her again and that she lied about having to be in a relationship to have sex. That same night she was drunk texting me saying she was horny and wanted me. It felt like I got cheated on but I knew I couldn't feel like that. She said what do you expect, I was trying for you but you shut me down. Well I ignored her then drunk texted her saying I hated what she did in the past and we could've been good. She left a hole in my heart and she took my virginity too.
She was my first girlfriend I ever really had and she made me feel comfortable around her. I told her I was gonna give up on kindness and she said she always loved me and that i shouldn't because she knew she had problems but that i was a great guy. I just feel like crap still and I blocked her and we are not talking. I know I shouldn't feel like this but I can't help it. I guess what I'm asking is how can I get past this, I went out clubbing and got several girls phone numbers and got drunk but it didn't even help. I felt insecure at the same time. I'm in my room and don't want to get out of bed, I've lost motivation and can't help but think of her. I have zero interest in any other girls right now. I just don't know how I can stop feeling like this or even if my feelings are justified. All I'm asking rn is how can I get past this?

I just thought this up recently and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas regarding this. So has anyone thought about what Help Wanted 2 means in-world? Like the first game was meant to be a real game in the world that was created to make light of the tragedies and make the Freddy’s brand safe again, but the events that take place in Sister Location (one of the games confirmed to be featured in Help Wanted 2) aren’t known to the public. So why would the company make light of events no one knew about, effectively bringing unnecessary suspicion to the brand? I suppose this could just be a fan service game, but I figured I’d start a discussion about it before just chalking it up to having no plot importance. So, any ideas?

Hello. I was needing some help figuring out what type of plan to go with. I will soon be a 1099 employee and need to find health insurance for me and my baby. Also one that would cover future pregnancies without costing $1k a month. Any help or advice would be amazing. Thank you!

One one hand, I like the fact that I don't have to "suit up" anymore just to visit Goron City.
That said, it kind of sucks that the mountain is now permanently without flowing lava. I figured that after the dungeon was finished, it'd go back to how it used to be. Seems like it's one of the only areas in the game that doesn't change back. Death Mountain was honestly one of my favorite areas in BotW.

Hello! Not sure if this is the right subreddit for this, but it seems right?
Anyways, I'm trying to figure out the right word to contrast with the word predators, and the few I can find don't seem quite right.
So, the idea is this: you have canines, felines, bears, and the like on one side. They're the animals known for being strong and dangerous, and with natural implements of fangs, claws, and the sort to back up their strength. Though they may be peaceful and even friendly, some sort of aggressiveness is an expected and natural trait amongst them.
These can easily be labeled as predators, since the term has come to be tied not just to dietary habits, but to a general idea of ferocity and a natural "combativeness." Perhaps another word may be better, but "predator" seems suitable enough.
Then, you have horses, cows, elephants, squirrels, mice, and the sort. Though they can be dangerous animals (they tend to be pretty strong), they are normally understood to be more docile animals, using aggression chiefly to defend what they perceive as their rights rather than to take what they may need.
These could possibly be called prey, but that emphasizes that others eat them, and not their relative/reputed docility. Tameness would be another word, but that carries a sense of domestication with it and could legitimately apply to some instances of the first group. Livestock is an apt descriptor for some animals in this group but not all. And herbivores might work, but I'm not sure if every animal we think of in this way is strictly herbivorous or not.
What would be the best word to denote this distinction between animals associated with "combative" prowess and those associated with docility?

I saw this mentioned in another topic and it got me to thinking. If Mantis decided to go rogue and kill every superhero and villain in the Marvel universe via manipulation, could anyone stop her? Her tactics would involve compelling people to do her work for her, either having heroes kill each other one after the other while playing innocent in the background, or amassing an army to do her bidding.
The only people I could see catching on to the former tactic would be mind-readers, but I don’t think anyone like Professor X has been confirmed in Universe 616 yet. Could someone like Dr Strange figure out what’s going on magically?
No set timeline for whenever she decides to do this: it could be before or during GotG2, Infinity War, or any other time.
