![]() ''Oh, and come back and see in a year when you've been unable to conceive, if that's what you want'' she added.Īnd that was my terrible introduction to the crazy world that is life with endometriosis. She recommended that I go to see my GP to have the Mirena coil fitted. ''Bad news, you have endometriosis and it's really bad, it's EVERYWHERE''. I remember waking up from my first laparoscopy with my surgeon hovering over me. My fertility journey with severe endometriosis and adenomyosis: An ode to Heal Endo. See, good things can happen to endo-warriors :) This is her story in her own words, below. ![]() What happened? Almost 3 months to the day Claire was pregnant! I cried I was so happy for this amazing woman. Her previous "endo diet" of restriction was pushed to the curb, and in came the big guns of deep nutrition I speak of so much on this site. I reminded her it took 3 full months for both egg and sperm to mature, and then we set about making a nutrition program that Claire diligently undertook. I adored Claire to pieces, so I offered to work with her to help build her body up (her husbands too) for pregnancy. She and her wonderful husband had been trying for over 2 years by that point. We became new age pen pals.Ĭlaire was also trying to get pregnant. She's basically a British bad-ass endo-warrior who, in her soft spoken way, helps people listen and understand what endometriosis means. A reason I think to find myself extremely lucky! And something I will be sure to never let happen again! Anyway I plan on finishing up the blog I’m in the middle of writing over the weekend and will hopefully have it up by Monday.Turns out Claire isn't just a good writer, she also is deeply involved in the endo community as an activist, awareness raiser, and volunteer (check out the video on the right). But I am so lucky that my friends still love and accept me as they always have. I have been so blessed to have the most amazing friends on this earth and if I lose them I will have no one to blame but myself. And eventually my friends will give up on inviting me to hangout when they know it’s only ever one answer from me, and i can’t even blame them. That truth is whether I decide to sit alone day after day and do nothing and continuing to shut everyone whom I love out, the world spins on. It feels like so many more days than not you just watch as the world keeps spinning by, and somehow at this point in my depression I’ve finally truly embraced something I’ve always known, but sometimes the only truth you know can be the hardest to face. So many days, at this point years have passed, and I’ve watched the people I love doing wonderful things with their lives. ![]() To know even if I feel like i want to give up on one of those really hard days pain wise, and it’s so hard to see the point in continuing on fighting the same battle over and over for just more days to be in pain. I never knew so many peopled cared to really know my story and that in itself means so much to me. If even just one Endo sister, or anyone who suffers in anyway finds help or comfort or just knows she or he is not alone! Then this is all so worth it. Even though this blog has been even more difficult and emotional for me then I already had anticipated it would be for me to write, I already know I will never regret this! Just that you took the time to even read it means more to me then you all could even know!Īt first i started this blog in the hope it would help with my severe depression that has been getting worse over the last six months, and just a overall hopeless feeling that has continued to grow inside me. Whether you are a close friend or family member, a fellow Endo and or I.C sister/someone who suffers with a chronic illness and/or chronic pain or someone who never knew who I was till you stumbled along this blog. Since that is the case, I wanted to take a few minutes in-between writing the new entry to really say thank you to everyone who has taken their own personal time to read my blog. So it’s taking even more time than I expected it to. ![]() I just wanted to take a second to really thank everyone’s overwhelming love and support! I’m currently writing my next blog entry but since it’s about basically my whole history with Endo its gonna be a long one. ![]()

The original big article about this had a statement from a Facebook representative about this that went out of its way to note that nothing was going to change for "non-business chats and account data", but almost no one seems to have even paid attention to what was actually going on or what was changing. You could argue that anyone could already technically (though against the terms of service) build such a service, so "end to end" only applies to a user's selection of their "end", but since Facebook is WhatsApp, a statement that Facebook never has access to X or Y or Z is no longer true, and so they carefully went through everything and adjusted those terms in a way that was confusing, totally forgetting that this is the Internet and no one would understand the nuance. This feature has been "a long time coming" (in that they have been talking about it publicly on their site for I think two years). the UX - not like Signal/WhatsApp.Īs far as Facebook has explicitly stated, the reason for the "changes" to their terms and conditions was to be able to launch a feature where businesses with a Facebook page could use what amounts to a "hosted client" in order to do things like customer service or have chat bots and the such, all with multi-level permissions as you see with other platforms. I really wish there was a Telegram like Matrix - esp. Hell, Telegram and Signal both have open source apps (in fact I can make my own in case of Telegram but in case of Signal - naah!) and they both essentially have closed source servers (even if you discount that for a centralized service you don't know what's on the server). It's centralized - a catastrophe waiting to happen (oh wait, a technical one just happened). (As you've pointed out) Dev model of their server code is very much questionable and for an app that is "Signal", this thing has no reason, no excuse - it's either there in the open, regularly, and latest, or it's not. After a while I literally gave up on trying to make sense of their feature/dev priority and delivery. ![]() It's headed literally by a benevolent dictator, and boy he does benevolent dictator. Having said that Signal does and have always made me very uncomfortable: Because I am pissed and as someone who deleted Fb, Instagram 6-7 years ago, I just don't want to accept that T&C even though I know Fb may get my data or would track me by using other means anyway. Come 6-7 Feb, and I am deleting my WhatsApp account. ![]() Besides their apps are a couple of hundred kilometres ahead of others including WhatsApp. Telegram is perfect for casual groups like the ones which form off places like subreddits - e.g. So yeah it had to be Signal because no one was going to move to Wire or Threema. So much that for my recreational and token FOSS IM usage (because for mainstream conversation in my country it all has moved to WhatsApp) with select friends I made it a point to request/convince them to use Matrix.īut when this WhatsApp T&C thingie happened I had to make a choice and ask all my friends and important IM contacts to move to Signal because let's face it Matrix is simply not usable for the average user as of now and I guess they will take forever to figure out Signal/WhatsApp and Slack/IRC/Zoom are not two different types of animals but are aliens to each other, especially from an end user's UX expectation point of view. ![]() For the last few years I have always rooted (or rather I hoped) for Matrix/Riot->Element. ![]() ![]() Captain Manny was the highlight of our US East Coast tour. He really made our airboat tour a memorable family moment we will always cherish. He was able to show us an alligator from close while still being respectful of this incredible reptile: a thrillingly fascinating experience. He was not just reciting a script, but he really knew his stuff as he could answer all our questions. His love for the nature he works within was genuine and evident. And he was so effective in doing so that on the way back, my husband voted to go for the fast trail! At each stop, he was full of interesting explanations and stories about the animals and plants of the Everglades, about how humans have been living in the area, and much more. Manny was clear and friendly when he explained the rules, and at the first stop - having read our feelings from the body postures - he reassured my husband who was a bit scared of the speed, also by sharing some personal stories. We were a family of four, with kids of 10 and 7 years old. excellent way to bring you there, by saying you are going to watch a show, and than no show, but a way to make you pay extra for a picture! When I talked to the workers, who clamed to be the "show" people, the explanation was, that the alligator didn't come out of the water, because of the weather (?!) (It is April - not too cold and not too hot), and the show will make the alligators to be stress!!! and with this stress the animal will live only 20 years! (interesting fact - at the restaurant at that place, they sell "Alligator Bites" - so maybe they are not too concern about "how the alligator will feel.Captain Manny was simply fantastic. that "show" was about 30 seconds, and than the guy went out of the crocodile place, holding a small alligator, and offer people to take a picture with it, for 3 dollars. I was traveling with my 2 boys (7, 9) for over an hour from Miami Beach, hoping to see alligators during the boat ride and after that to watch a show, but - nothing!!!!! No alligators, and no show! All the guy did, was to take a piece of ,so called, food, showed it to the one poor crocodile / alligator that was in the small narrow water place, but the crocodile didn't care about this piece, and didn't come out of the water. The gift shop was closed so I am not sure of their selections. We stopped in the afterwards 2 canned soft drinks, 2 appetizers totaled $22. I believe animals are best in their natural habit being animals and not passed around or handled. There is an option at the begin of the tour for a photo (we declined this so I’m not sure the price of the souvenir photo) and afterwards, there is a Gator show (we skipped this only because I didn’t want to see any animals being aggravated or harassed so I’m not sure whether this occurs or not. During the walk you see a few caged alligators, and crocodiles. After the airboat tour, you can do a short walk around the park. We saw lots of wildlife including two alligators, turtles, birds, etc. You start by doing the airboat ride, which lasts about 30-40 minutes. Our tour guide for the boat was Giovanni and he was very personable and had vocalized several years (since 2007) working and driving the boats which helped me feel comfortable with the ride. The Everglades Safari Park was a very good time. If you have time I highly suggest making time for an airboat ride. Also, the boat is not too fast or bumpy at all, so don’t be afraid of that (I was worried). ![]() It was a bit chilly with the wind so we didn’t get to see many alligators but we did see some! The swamp is amazing and really a unique experience I highly recommend. The airboat tour felt like lit was about an hour (I could be wrong) and they provide you with ear plugs to protect hearing from the large fan. The last tour of the day goes out at 4pm and tickets were $30 each (make sure to bring cash to tip your airboat driver!). There are no airboat tours that operate within the actual national park, it the park does provide 3 operating airboats, Everglades Safari being one of the 3. After spending the day at the Everglades National Park, we drove almost an hour north to do an airboat swamp tour. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This allows developers to quickly add high-quality assets to their games without the need to create them from scratch. This flexibility allows developers to create custom code that can be easily integrated into the engine's core features.Īsset Store: The Unity Asset Store provides access to a wide range of assets such as 3D models, textures, sound effects, and music. Scripting Support: Unity uses C# as its primary scripting language, which is an easy-to-learn, object-oriented language that's widely used in game development. This interface also allows developers to create complex systems and animations with ease, making it accessible to people with no programming or coding experience. Intuitive Interface: Unity's drag-and-drop system allows users to add assets, objects, and components to their game world without writing any code. This saves developers time and effort, as they can focus on creating the game's content rather than worrying about the technical details of porting the game to different platforms. With Unity, developers can create games for multiple platforms such as Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and even consoles like PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the essential features of the Unity game engine.Ĭross-Platform Development: One of the most significant benefits of using Unity is its cross-platform development capabilities. Its features and ease of use make it an excellent choice for creating a variety of games, from 2D to 3D games, VR and AR applications, and even simulations. According to Unity Gaming Report 2022 the number of games made with Unity increased by 93%. Unity is a game engine that has become incredibly popular among game developers and designers. A game engine also allows developers to use scripting languages or visual editors to program the logic and behavior of their games.

Synology states that Btrfs would better suit applications for storing critical business data, requiring data integrity and protection. Data protection features, including snapshot, replication, and point-in-time recovery.Synology provides a few reasons why one should choose Btrfs over ext4 when creating new storage pools on a branded NAS: Synology continues to work on Btrfs, which provides the company with a few data protection and recovery advantages. How QNAP and Synology approach storage management differs in that the former only supports ext4. However, the design of their value NAS does differ massively, so you should go with whichever look you prefer. To make matters worse for choosing just one to buy, both operating systems, DSM for Synology and QTS for QNAP, are very good and class-leading. The size and weight are also very similar. You'll only find 1Gb networking and just two USB ports. You'll see the above two NAS servers have similar specifications, including an ARM processor, 1GB of RAM or less, and one drive bay. Let's check the most affordable enclosures from Synology and QNAP to see if there are any differences there. This is fantastic in that it offers a strong selection for consumers to choose from, but it can also prove daunting for anyone looking to buy their first NAS. You'll find far more "prosumer" hardware from QNAP than Synology, though both companies offer similarly priced and configured enclosures towards the lower end of the market. QNAP goes all out with ARM, Intel Celeron, and even Intel Core - the same chips you'd find inside an old desktop PC. With later generations of enclosures, Synology is adding more AMD Ryzen processors to its parts catalog. Synology focuses more on offering a broad range of NAS with differing specifications, including Intel Celeron and ARM chips. The companies have a different focus when it comes to launching new enclosures. ![]() This is where Synology and QNAP differ greatly. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is natural that when you use an item, you will farm experience points while the durability of the weapon decreases. However, this combination won’t work on crossbows, so you can only use it on bows and arrows. If everything goes well, you can keep using the bow and arrow to continuously shoot without worrying about running out of ammunition for the weapon.Ĭombine this enchantment with the Multi-Shot, and watch how you can be an unstoppable force against any mob in Minecraft. InfinityĪs the name implies, putting this enchantment on a bow prevents regular arrows from being spent on that shot. This enchantment will be really important in the end-game as you want as much Protection as you can get. The enchantment is incompatible with Blast Protection, Fire Projection, and Projectile Protection. The enchantment has a total of four levels, and you can use those levels to ensure that your armor cannot be pierced by anything. That is why, you should spruce up your armor by enchanting it with the Protection enchantment. Your defense is just as important as your offense in the game. You can also find an enchanted book for the same in the dungeons. You can obtain this enchantment by fishing, using an enchanting table, or trading with a villager. Therefore, the best equipment for this enchantment would be melee weapons such as the axe or the sword. Unbreaking ensures that your weapon does not decrease its durability points when it is used. Combine this with Mending, and you have got yourself an unbreakable weapon. This is one of the best enchantments in Minecraft. This is one of the most important enchantments in the game for killing mobs and enemies in general. This enchantment is incompatible with the Bane of Arthropods, Smite, and Cleaving, so combining these with Sharpness is useless. With this enchantment, you can upgrade to five levels the more you increase the level, the more damage your weapon does. Sharpness is an enchantment that increases the melee damage one does with a sword or an axe. This is a simple enchantment, but it is quite effective. You can upgrade this enchantment to three levels, so if you are a huge fisherman, then we recommend getting this fully upgraded. In addition to increasing the chances of catching rare treasure, it also decreases the chance of getting junk treasure. As usual, every time you upgrade this enchantment’s level, its effectiveness of it increases. Players can apply this to their fishing rods and lure to increase the chance of catching treasure. Luck of the Seaįishing might not seem important to the game, but it is. You can increase the level and the percentage drop by upgrading this enchantment. For example, if you have an enchanted pickaxe and mine iron, the number of iron ores dropped from the block increases. There isn’t a drastic increase in drop percentage, but it certainly helps when you are on the lookout for rare materials in the game. The Fortune enchantment increases the number of specific item drops while destroying blocks during mining. FortuneĬombine the last enchantment with this one, and you will make yourself a fortune. In addition to increasing the mining speed, it also increases the chance of the player stunning a shield. Every time the enchantment receives an upgrade, the mining speed increases by 5 %. This attachment increases the mining speed of the pickaxe, but it has five different levels. You can use this enchantment on your pickaxe to save time and do the activity a little quicker. Mining is one of the most critical activities in the game since it provides the player with important metals and items. However, the crossbows with this enchantment use three durability points instead of one. You can also duplicate fireworks rockets with this enchantment. Pair this enchantment with your multishot attachment with a crossbow and use it like a shotgun to destroy enemies up close. ![]() |
