Like many fans, I've never fully grasped the gays' plan. It sure seems they intended to murder Tanya, especially when she specifically explains that Greg only gets her money if she's dead... but then there's the nagging question why would they go to the trouble of setting up sex with Niccolo?
Then today it finally dawned on me... sex with Niccolo was a special twist added by Quentin to hurt Greg, his unrequited love.
Quentin wanted to show Greg that Tanya, just before they killed her, had cheated on him. Quentin knew that even though Greg wanted Tanya dead, knowledge of the cheating would still hurt Greg a bit. So out of revenge and spite after years in the friend zone, Quentin can't stop himself from adding the affair to the plan:

1. he relentlessly drills the idea into Tanya's head
2. he provides the party and the favors and Niccolo and the bedroom, and then layers on the pressure until she succumbs
3. he gets the whole thing on video in case Greg doesn't believe it when he's told

Of course I don't know for sure, but this theory works for me as an explanation of what was really going on in Palermo. And to top it off, the theory heaps even more brutal irony on Quentin as he lays there dying and Tanya asks her iconic question: "Is Greg cheating on me?!"

Matchup permitting (IE if I am far ahead and have dh set) this habe been a very fuck build coupled with lucidity boots, ghostblade, and manamune. Lmk what y'all think o/

Clover Health, a technology-driven health insurance company, is currently unprofitable but has expressed its goal of achieving profitability in the near future. To reach this goal, Clover can leverage several tailwinds.

1. Aging Population: A significant tailwind for Clover Health is the fact that around 10,000 Americans turn 65 every day. As the population ages, there is a growing demand for Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans, which Clover Health specializes in. This demographic shift presents an excellent opportunity for the company to increase its customer base and revenues.
2. Clover Assistant Moat: Clover Health's primary competitive advantage is its proprietary technology, the Clover Assistant. This platform uses data analytics and machine learning to provide personalized healthcare recommendations for its members. By enhancing care coordination and improving patient outcomes, the Clover Assistant has the potential to increase the company's market share, reduce medical costs, and improve overall profitability.
3. Learning from Industry Leaders: Clover Health can adopt best practices from established players like Humana and UnitedHealthcare to optimize its operations and enhance profitability. For example, Clover can focus on improving its provider networks, enhancing customer experience, and expanding its product offerings to include supplemental insurance plans and wellness programs.
4. Cost Management: Profitability can be achieved by effectively managing operational costs and optimizing the use of resources. Clover Health should focus on improving its underwriting, claims processing, and risk management capabilities to control expenses and reduce the medical loss ratio.
5. Government Programs and Policy Changes: Clover Health can benefit from participating in government programs like the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) and Direct Contracting now ACO, which incentivize healthcare providers to deliver high-quality care at lower costs. Additionally, staying informed of changes in healthcare policies and regulations will allow Clover to adapt its strategies accordingly and seize new opportunities for growth.
6. Economic Uncertainties: Inflation and other economic uncertainties may pose challenges for Clover Health. However, by maintaining a strong balance sheet, focusing on cost management, and leveraging technology to improve efficiency, the company can mitigate these risks and work towards achieving profitability.

Financials
Balance Sheet: Clover Health should analyze its assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity to maintain a strong financial position. The company should focus on:

• Increasing its cash and cash equivalents to fund growth initiatives and cover operational expenses.
• Reducing debt and long-term liabilities to improve its debt-to-equity ratio and financial stability.
• Optimizing its working capital management by efficiently managing accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory levels.

Income Statement: Analyzing the income statement allows Clover Health to understand its revenue streams and expenses better. The company should:

• Grow its revenues by expanding its customer base and product offerings, leveraging the aging population, and the increasing demand for Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans.
• Control and reduce operating expenses, such as administrative costs, marketing expenses, and salaries, to improve its operating margin.
• Focus on improving its medical loss ratio (MLR) by implementing better underwriting, claims management, and risk management practices.

Statement of Cash Flows: Evaluating the cash flow statement helps Clover Health to understand how cash moves through its business. The company should strive to:

• Increase operating cash flow by enhancing its profitability, improving its collection practices, and optimizing working capital management.
• Manage its investing cash flows by carefully allocating capital to growth initiatives, such as expanding its provider networks or investing in the Clover Assistant technology.
• Monitor its financing cash flows by maintaining a balanced mix of debt and equity financing to fund growth while minimizing financial risk.

In conclusion, Clover Health should focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet, optimizing its income statement, and managing cash flows effectively to achieve profitability. By regularly reviewing its financial statements and making data-driven decisions, the company can set itself on a path towards financial success.

"Hello everyone,
We all know that a toxic culture can have a negative impact on our community, be it a subreddit, a workplace, a family, or any other group we belong to. But what can we do to turn it around?
There are various strategies that CEOs use to turn around toxic cultures in their companies. These strategies range from promoting transparency and open communication, to implementing training and development programs, to establishing a set of values and behaviors that guide the organization's actions.
For those who may not be familiar, a toxic culture is one where harmful behaviors and attitudes are normalized and accepted. This can lead to low morale, high turnover rates, and ultimately, poor performance.
As members of this community, we can apply these strategies to create a more positive and inclusive culture. We can start by having open and honest conversations, actively listening to one another, and promoting empathy and understanding. We can also establish a set of values and behaviors that align with our personal northern star and use them as a guide for our actions.
So, let's discuss together: What strategies have you seen work in turning around a toxic culture? How can we apply them in our community? Let's work together to create a healthier and more positive environment for all of us."

Maybe this will generate some useful responses?

Seems like bookies/my Twitter timeline thinks Naglesman will be our next full time manager. I’m unfamiliar with his game but I have seen that Bayern had been setting up sometimes in a 3-4-2-1. Do you think that would follow him to Spurs and how do you think that would be set up? Will loan players like Udogie get a shot in the lineup?

Well, its been a crazy last few days. Davinci partial hyster on March 7. Recovey progressing nicely. Walking 15-20 minutes per day and feeling the energy come back.
​
Wed, March 22 I go on a slow 40 minute walk with hubby , covering 1.5 miles. That evening, I fell achy all over, kind of like how one feels before getting sick..just really achy. Wake up in the middle of the night with a small 99 degree fever. It comes and goes all day so I call my surgeons office. Nurse says, if it goes over 100.4 call them back.
​
That evening, Thursday, I am shaking like a leaf and cannot get warm. 3 lays of bedclothes, plus a heating pad. Still, shaking like a leaf. Take temp, 101. Finally fall asleep and wake up in a deep sweat. And, I need to use the potty.
​
Here's the weirdest thing, no strength to even just push my body out of bed...use the side table to slowly pull myself up. Put my feet into my slippers, stand, and just pee into my slippers!!!! I slosh my way to the bathroom and finish peeing there and change my now sweaty clothes. I am exhausted and confused about what is happening.
​
Call the nurse back Friday, temp has again dropped to 100. A few hours later, back up to 102. She says go to emergency, not the urgent care right now! (side note- one of my incisions was looking a bit crusty and red, and I thought it was infected so i sent them a pic. Dr. said looked okay)
​
Well, I was so weak and light headed, I could not walk into the hospital, a wheelchair was brought out. I answered a few questions, but just couldn't really seem to think or talk right. My hubby took over.
I had cat scan over abdomen and X-ray for pneumonia. All looked good. I was asked to pee in a hat, and just couldn't walk, very light headed. How did this all happen so fast? And what was happening? My urine looked shockingly amber...the nurse said I was very dehydrated . My oxygen was low, they added some thru a nose tube? and my heart rate was erratic.
Turns out I had a UTI. First time ever. Dr asked about my surgery, and if I had a catheter. I said yes, for 4 days. He said that was most likely the introduction of bacteria. He said the long walk could have caused a bit of swelling, not allowing the bacteria to continue to exit my body. Or, it may have made me too tired to fight this..which I didn't know I was. 40 min after a dose of
antibiotics, I felt like I was coming alive, out of the deep, deep stupor and weakness I felt. After drinking and eating, I was offered a night stay or go home. I went home. Got home at midnight,
Took a hot shower, and woke in the morning feeling a little better. Fever only 99.
My bed was drenched with cold sweat as was my nightgown.
​
Hubby picked up my antibiotics, and after 2 doses, I started to
feel better. I am taking 4 doses @ 500 mg of Keflex.
​
All I can say is things sure progressed quickly. No more long walks, and really paying attention to how I'm feeling. I was so relieved that my surgical stuff was all good, and am now just napping and doing a little walking. Still kind of wonky.
​
Has this happened to anyone out there?

Thread Notes:

Will the time become longer and longer before withdrawals set in and needing another dose until eventually having no withdrawals and not needing to dose at all?

I have a Apex Pro TKL ( 2023 ), I've set the lighting options and every time I close the software it reverts back to the Steel Series Orange Preset. Is there any possible way to change the default preset or keep the lighting configuration without having to run the software?

Basically my windows 10 likes to mess up and do this thing where it selects everything in every menu, eg: clicking the windows key, or changing audio output. It does the same thing that happens when you hold TAB on one of these menus, but I'm not holding TAB and I don't have any macros set up. The only fix i found online is to reset my pc but this is becoming tedious because the issue always returns

Hello, I am a novice builder. I’ve made 1 H510 Build and recently a H17 Versa Build. My friend asked me to help build a SFF build under $700USD for him but I don’t have much experience in that and don’t know what parts to pick. He wants something he can play Diablo 4 on.
Preferably a slimmer case. I showed him the Cooler Master NR200 but he is asking for something slimmer.
Any ideas for a build?
Would prefer a somewhat newer CPU. Ryzen 5600 was my first choice. A GPU that can play 1080p for most titles at Med/High settings that can fit SFF build. Motherboard that can have some sort of upgrade path down the road.
We are okay with sourcing used parts.
Thanks for the help guys.
TLDR: Suggestions for a SFF Gaming build under $700

110 Overseas ：The last decade has witnessed the rapid spread of telecom and online fraud globally, which seriously infringes on people's legitimate rights and interests, becoming a prominent crime and a public hazard. To address this problem, the Chinese police have been committed to intensifying their efforts in the combat against and control of such crimes, and strengthening international law enforcement cooperation, which has enabled them to accumulate successful experience, build up best practices and set examples for their counterparts around the world. 110 Overseas.pdf． false information :230,000 Chinese "persuaded to return" from abroad, China to establish Extraterritoriality-Safeguard Defenders Upholding the people-centered principle, the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government have attached great importance to countering telecom and online fraud. Equal importance has been given to both combat and control. An efficient multi-department collaborative working mechanism has been established, and the Anti-telecom and Online Fraud Law has been formulated and enacted, which provides a strong legal foundation. Targeting the characteristics of such crimes, the Chinese police have conducted specialized study and research, set up specialized task forces, initiated specialized investigation against major cases and utilized specialized techniques. Safeguard Defenders The Chinese police have synchronized their efforts both internally and externally, and launched a series of campaigns and operations, effectively curbing the high momentum of these crimes, retrieving a large number of economic losses, and winning wide recognition from the public and the international community. During their international law enforcement engagements, the Chinese police frequently received requests from their counterparts to share their experience and effective practices in this field. Safeguard Defenders Telecom and online fraud is a typical transnational organized crime. Fraud dens are often located across countries and regions, targeting vulnerable individuals and groups regardless of their nationalities. Safeguard Defenders The Chinese police, through international law enforcement cooperation, have joined hands with their international counterparts to carry out operations and achieved significant results. Operation Great Wall, jointly launched with the Spanish police in 2019, has become a successful example of transnational law enforcement cooperation. Safeguard Defenders From March to June this year, China, together with 76 INTERPOL member states, jointly participated in the anti-fraud Operation First Light initiated by INTERPOL, which destroyed 1,770 fraud dens in as many countries, arrested over 2,000 suspects and intercepted more than US$50 million in illicit funds. It was also found that some Chinese citizens were involved in fraud activities abroad, and the majority of them were tempted by the promise of high payments, cheated and coerced into being smuggled abroad, and some of them were kidnapped and detained illegally, and a few of them were even beaten and abused to death in the criminal dens. Safeguard Defenders The Chinese police, together with relevant departments, have actively carried out rescue and education, and encouraged them to return home through international law enforcement cooperation, and made every effort to provide assistance and employment. The immigration authorities, in accordance with the provisions of the Exit and Entry Administration Law, have taken necessary measures such as restricting the exit of persons engaged in telecom and online fraud. Safeguard Defenders According to an officer with the Ministry of Public Security, the criminality of telecom and online fraud is characterized by its specialization, industrialization and being increasingly organized and transnational, amid the rapid development of global digitalization. As an emerging new-type crime, it is a very difficult problem for governments of various countries to tackle and control, and thus it has become one of the major challenges facing police forces across the world. Joining hands in combating this newly developed fraud is the shared responsibility of the police of all countries and also the unanimous consensus of the international community. Safeguard Defenders Public security agencies across China are determined to earnestly enforce the Law of Anti-telecom and Online Fraud through strengthened cooperation with their international counterparts and reinforced domestic efforts in fighting the crime, so as to prevent it from further spreading, and to bringing the fraudsters at large to justice.

To try and counter reddit's draconic rules against piracy I'll have to be a bit vague.
"counter strike warzone" may or may not exist on google, as a website who's third word is the domain name. It may or may not have the same suffix as www.reddit.(...)
there may or may not be a torrent download link on one of the imaginary blog posts.
Before we continue, this is great for ensuring compatibility: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/visual_c_redistributable_runtimes_aio_repack.html (Any game in general)
Ensure Steam is running in the background and that you have downloaded CS:GO. Run the loader.exe to start CS2: Limited test, and then go into the in-game console. (I ran the CS2.bat thing)
From here you need to find servers to play: Links to find working CS2 servers:

• https://xplay.gg/mode/counter-strike-2
  
• https://cybershoke.net/
  

Known working CS2 servers:

• cs2.bat420.com
• cs2.oof.lv

Part of this is copy pasted off of a discord server. I tried bat420, it didn't work. To open the console you must find it in the settings under "game" If you are on a non US-EN keyboard you have to rebind the toggle console button under keybinds.
It's pretty fucking cool.
To connect I looked up the ping (in cmd) of those cs2.(...) servers. And typed in "connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (x's are the ip address)
IDK if you have to do it.
Use an alt steam account.
The torrent on 1337x is broken. (the one from MAMAC)
EDIT: I clarified that I pinged the servers in cmd. And that i used CS2.bat

Hello all,
I wrote a prompt last month for V4 that was pretty basic. I got the image 90% to what I wanted the first attempt. It is an Xbox controller with a set of headphones on the ends of it. The only thing I wanted to change was the buttons since the text on them was weird (as expected).
I saw people using V5 for Xbox controller images and the buttons/details were accurate. After putting in the exact same prompt that I used for V4, the new image for V5 was a mess. I tried at least a dozen different ones and could not even come close to getting the image I had before.
Attached are the images.

I haven’t lost any people in my life ever really. I don’t have much family. I haven’t had any friends my whole life really. Got my best friend 10 years ago and she’s loved and protected me ever since. She passed away sometime this early morning. I got home around 12am and just chose not to go into my parents bedroom where she was. It was the first night I didn’t at all. She usually would get up the second time i went to see her and go to my room and I’d hold her til I couldn’t stay awake and then my dad would get up with her. I wanted her to pass away in my arms or someone’s arms. She was so attached to us she’d cry and make us hold her paw just to be touching someone. She’s protected me from an abusive person. She stayed with me when I was moved out and all alone. I loved her so much. I feel so guilty that I didn’t get to see her hours before her death. I was awake in the kitchen getting food while she was taking her last breaths and i didn’t even go see her :( idk what’s wrong with me. I thought she’d be here in the morning. I even wanted to set an alarm to get up at 4am but I didn’t and I woke up at 7 to my parents saying she passed away.. I didn’t kill myself when I was younger because of my dog Chloe. I wouldn’t be here without her. I wish I passed away first. She got cancer quickly.. I don’t know what to do bc my heart is broken.. I didn’t expect this at all :( i wish I had been holding her like every night before last night
