A buddy is moving to Milwaukee soon and is going to visit this weekend. He has a bankruptcy on his record, but makes more than enough to pay rent for a 2 bedroom house. Does anyone have advice on rental agencies or property management companies that will work with someone in his situation?

So first of all, this is not at all an ad for the vox amplug 2, or any of the softwares i may mention here. It just happens to be the product i already had and I'm sure there are other similar products that would do the same.
Also this is probably only good for relative beginners who maybe already have an amplug and/or are on a tighter budget and just want to jam with their bass on the computer. There is a little background grain noise that i was not able to eliminate yet and the sound quality is probably not the best (although it's good enough for my newbie ears). So it's probably not recommended for anyone who wants to sell or stream their music etc.
Earlier I made a post asking for help trying to use my amplug to feed my bass into my computer. I was able to hear the sound of my bass right away by plugging the decive with an audio jack into the microphone hole of my computer, but there was a huge delay. I noticed in the responses I got that most people didn't know this was even doable at all and were telling me that buying an interface was the only way to play bass on the computer without noticeable delay. But with some guidance I managed to make it work with only free drivers and softwares. So I decided to make this follow up post explaining how I did it in case it might help anyone else.
Alright, so if you are on windows, you need to download drivers. First, install ASIO4ALL, then go on vox's website and into the drivers category and download the latest one for your system. Then you need a virtual interface, I downloaded Voicemeeter since Google told me it was the best free one. Then you need to open the software and choose your microphone slot where the device is plugged as your hardware input. And voilà, I could play and hear myself on the computer without any noticeable delay! You may want to play with the sound parameters to make it sound better but at least for me it did what I wanted.
Then you can use Audacity if you want to record what you play for free, just choose Voicemeeter's output as your input in Audacity (or whichever similar softwares you chose).
I hope this may help anyone who might be in a situation similar to mine where they want to practice playing on the computer but can't or don't want to spend on an additional device.
Have a nice day!

Objective: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a complex clinical problem that often leads to further myocardial injury. Curcumin is the main component of turmeric, which has been proved to have many cardioprotective effects. However, the cardioprotective potential of curcumin remains unclear. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical and preclinical (animal model) evidence regarding the effect of curcumin on myocardial I/R injury.
Methods: Eight databases and three register systems were searched from inception to 1 November 2022. Data extraction, study quality assessment, data analyses were carried out strictly. Then a fixed or random-effects model was applied to analyze the outcomes. SYRCLE’s-RoB tool and RoB-2 tool was used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. RevMan 5.4 software and stata 15.1 software were used for statistical analysis.
Results: 24 animal studies, with a total of 503 animals, and four human studies, with a total of 435 patients, were included in this study. The meta-analysis of animal studies demonstrated that compared with the control group, curcumin significantly reduced myocardial infarction size (p < 0.00001), and improved the cardiac function indexes (LVEF, LVFS, LVEDd, and LVESd) (p < 0.01). In addition, the indexes of myocardial injury markers, myocardial oxidation, myocardial apoptosis, inflammation, and other mechanism indicators also showed the beneficial effect of curcumin (p < 0.05). In terms of clinical studies, curcumin reduced the incidence of cardiac dysfunction, myocardial infarction in the hospital and MACE in the short term, which might be related to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative property. Dose-response meta-analysis predicted, 200 mg/kg/d bodyweight was the optimal dose of curcumin in the range of 10–200 mg/kg/d, which was safe and non-toxic according to the existing publications.
Conclusion: Our study is the first meta-analysis that includes both preclinical and clinical researches. We suggested that curcumin might play a cardioprotective role in acute myocardial infarction in animal studies, mainly through anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, and anti-fibrosis effects. In addition, from the clinical studies, we found that curcumin might need a longer course of treatment and a larger dose to protect the myocardium, and its efficacy is mainly reflected on reducing the incidence of myocardial infarction and MACE.

According to Microsoft, Russian-based threat actors are actively exploiting an elevation of privilege vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook for Windows, tracked as CVE-2023-23397, which allows new technology LAN manager (NTLM) credential hash theft. According to an analysis of .msg files uploaded to VirusTotal that exploit the vulnerability by Deep Instinct, the earliest known attack occurred in April 2022 against the Foreign Ministry of Romania.
A threat actor can exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted email using one of three message types: note, appointment, or task, containing an extended Message Application Program Interface (MAPI) property pointing to a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path. The Adversary Tactics and Intelligence team has observed threat actors posting proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code on cybercriminal forums like XSS. Exploit codes shared publicly and on cybercriminal forums use the item type “appointment.” However, Outlook messages uploaded to VirusTotal in December 2022 and January 2023 use the item types “task,” and “note.” Deepwatch recommends organizations update vulnerable software as soon as possible.

I posted about this before and I think others have too but, if your Apple Music library is a mess, it might be a bad data base related in some way to Apple Music Cloud and syncing.
I solved this by holding option key down while opening. Choose create new library. This is akin to making a separate library. The old one remains. Give it a different name. It should open up but, if not, quite AM and instead double click on the new library in the Finder.
Then make sure Sync Library is checked and, if needed, uncheck Copy files to Music Folder if your old or new library is on an external.
This brought back all my missing playlist songs (which were still on iOS but not mac OS) and allowed me to see why some albums combined. I was able to delete (from Apple Music, not the files!) the bad albums and bring them back in. They loaded up fine.
So the crux of it is that the AM data base — and how is works with AM cloud — was a mess. Making a new library and reloaded bad albums, seems to have brought it back.
Some of the individual MP3 files that were part of the mess, will need to be reloaded. I think, in sorting them last week, AM damaged these and, then the problem appeared. But I will probably leave them out because, none were all that important. The important thing is that my Playlists on mac are back and the intermingling of unrelated full albums into some of those MP3s can be fixed by removal and bringing back to AM.
I will say this: If I have anymore trouble with AM, I am out forever. Sure, I might still stream but, I will manage what I own separately using some other software. More than a decade of this nonsense is enough.

I am building a website where users will be able to access a software I made upon logging into their Stripe account. I want to avoid using an SQL server for the login if possible, not only for security reasons, but I don't want to run up a bill on an online platform like AWS or Azure. I am a young entrepreneur with little cash right now.
How the site currently works is, the user will be able both manage their Stripe account and make a purchase from the main page with no-code links. When they make a purchase, they link their email address to the purchase. To manage their subscription, they can log in to Stripe using their email and Stripe give them a verification code to access the information they need.
Here is the issue. I know how to make an API call to get the subscription status by either the email or customer's code. If there is an active subscription, it will grant you access to the software. My problem is, there is no password setup. If you know a user's email, you would be able to just access the software.
I have a few thoughts, but all seem dumb too me. My first thought was to write a .txt file for EACH login, that stores the email and a password they make. This way, there are no concurrent read/write issues when someone logs in, and no database is needed. Besides the possibility of a million files and it seeming to be unprofessional, I don't see the downside.
Another idea is to give the user the subscription ID associated with their account, and give that to them as password, but that seems like a not so great idea to me.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am new to web development.

There are two types of dedicated servers: managed and unmanaged.

1. Managed Dedicated Servers: In this type of hosting, the hosting provider takes care of all the technical aspects of running a server. This includes server setup, software installation, maintenance, security, backups, and updates. The website owner does not need to have technical expertise or spend time managing the server. Managed dedicated servers are generally more expensive than unmanaged dedicated servers because of the additional services provided by the hosting provider.
2. Unmanaged Dedicated Servers: In this type of hosting, the website owner is responsible for all aspects of server management, including setup, software installation, maintenance, security, backups, and updates. The website owner needs to have technical expertise or hire a system administrator to manage the server. Unmanaged dedicated servers are generally less expensive than managed dedicated servers because the hosting provider provides only the server and network connectivity, and the website owner is responsible for everything else.

Hello gay bros 😎 I am a Software QA Engineer and I have been job hunting for a few months now, but no luck. I’m getting desperate at this point and wanted to see if anyone in here is an IT recruiter, hiring manager in IT department, etc. Maybe at least through connections I’ll find something.
Please let me know and many thanks in advance. 🥂
(P.S. I live in USA)

This is suuuper early on in our exploration of any type of potential relationship. We have been on 5 dates total, each of them have lasted a while, spent most day and night together. I don't live in his area, but I have been considering moving here for a while, my mom and I are looking at properties here together. So there could be a potential for this person and I to date more seriously, but I am not cool with the ex thing.
On our first date, he told me he had a roommate so we ended up hanging out at a vacation rental that he told me his boss was letting him use. I thought that was odd at first, but I went along with it not thinking I would even like him very much enough for a second date. I ended up liking him a lot, so we hung out the next night, and he brought me to a different vacation rental, so I started to get some weird feelings. When he brought me into the house, he sat me down and told me the reason we keep hanging out at these vacation rentals is that he works for the property management company, and he lives with his ex... I'm really not someone to get like angry over someone's life decisions that I don't even know that well, so I just kind of shrugged it off. Then later that night I tried to catch him in a lie, so I kind of slyly asked "So are you cheating on your girlfriend?" and he was really quick to respond "She's not my girlfriend." He's told me they have not been sexually intimate for a year, but she has been living with him (in his house, that is in his name) because her only other option is living with her parents who are apparently uneducated, volatile, backwoods type people (his words, not mine).
So, on the last few dates we've had, he's told me a bit more about the situation with his ex, and for context, his ex is 23. She was 20 when they started dating, and he was 31, which I even told him was too young for him to begin with. On the other hand, I was dating a 29 year old when I was 19, so I think the age gap thing is all relative anyway. I guess his ex is extremely physically violent, he told me she had banged down his bedroom door, and corners him when she gets in certain moods, that she will hit him, etc. I don't know him well enough to tell if he is an especially good liar, but I have a major BS detector and I believe what he is telling me about her based on his body language, breath, vocal pauses and pitch change, gaze, etc. He's been telling me that she is moving out soon, she's just waiting to pay for her car which is in the shop for repairs. So, who knows when that will be, but I am definitely not going to just wait around for the sun to shine in that situation. So...
Here's my question, and I've already kind of answered it for myself, but I'm wondering if this is a reasonable plan. I am thinking I give this guy 2 more weeks of casual dating, and if he approaches me about taking it more seriously, I say no until she moves out. I'm also thinking about dating other people, even though I really do have some feelings for this person, I can't put my eggs into the basket where another chicken has already laid.
TL;DR . 34M I've been dating is still living with his 10 years younger ex who has no place to go (the house is his, it's in his name). He was honest with me about this on our 2nd date, and is insistent they aren't together and that she's moving out. If you were in my position, how would you approach this situation?

Hello! I have some updates regarding SMART and our citizen push to update the development agreement to better benefit our community, the City of San Marcos and Martindale, and protect the San Marcos River and our environment.
Scarborough Lane Development held their first Open House meeting last Wednesday in Martindale. There was a big turnout and we're grateful for everyone that came. Many of our neighbors who went told us how they were confused going in and even more confused leaving because the Open House format was not welcoming and they didn't know what type of questions to ask. We still have been asking for a more formal presentation with Q+A afterwards but the developer WILL NOT budge. We don't feel that we're being listened to.
The developer is hosting another Open House at the same location and time tomorrow, Wednesday, March 22nd from 3-7pm at the Martindale Schoolhouse, 101 Lockhart St. Martindale, TX 78655. Please attend!
Our community will be hosting its 2nd Town Hall Meeting at Southern Star Farms in Maxwell this coming Sunday, March 26th at 6pm, 480 Mill Rd, Maxwell, TX 78656. (When you arrive, please come in through the gate and head towards the lit pavilion.) Please join us to further discuss concerns, thoughts on the Open House meetings, and gameplan for next Tuesday's Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on 3/28.
I've been hearing a lot of people ask what SMART stands for. It's an acronym for "San Marcos Air, Rail, and Truck Terminal." The developer has NO plans to incorporate Rail and has NO plans to incorporate Air. We're curious how it can be called SMART if it won't have the A and the R. Without the Air and the Rail, it's just the San Marcos Truck Terminal and we all know how bad traffic can get. What will it look like once they start bringing in MORE trucks?
Another thing I want to mention is a lot of people don't know where this is located. Do you like to go tubing at TX State Tubes or Don's Fish Camp? This property is right across the street.

So me and my fiancé moved into an apartment together in September, I work full time and she’s a full time college student. She came with an emotional support dog in which she rescued from an abusive home. When we moved into the apartment he seemed to adjust well however we could not leave the house ever unless we had someone to watch him the WHOLE time because he would bark and whine the whole time no matter what we tried and we didn’t have anyone in our lives that could watch him for 8+ hrs every day nor did we have the money to bring him somewhere. We thought of doing doggy daycare but he is not really good with other dogs and is extremely unpredictable with his reaction to new people. This being said we stayed in the house and I changed my work hours to be home when my fiancé wasn’t and vice versa, I would take him in the car to pick her up from school and whatnot. So that being said I was walking him out of our apartment to my car to pick up my fiancé from school and there was a cleaning guy outside with a cleaning cart going to the apartment building over and the dog unfortunately got out of my grip and bit the cleaning guys ankle. (Which neither one of us has seen him do that). That being said our property manager said if he did it again we would be kicked out because of safety reasons, so we had to give him to her mother two and a half hours away while we finish the lease.
Her mom met a guy this summer and they “hit it off” (she thought). At about OctobeNovember, he moved into her house which wasn’t really a cause for concern. However two weeks ago they got into a huge fight and he left her house. She’s filling for annulment so she looked back on her kitchen ring camera and found a completely horrific scene which included him just walking up to our dog, picking up our 35 ish pound beagle by his throat and holding him there by his throat for about 20 seconds seconds which followed by him throwing him across the room and kicking the dog in the face a couple times. He also is verbally abusive to my fiancés 11 year old little brother, has inappropriately touched me.
As soon as my fiancés mom saw this video she was straight to the police and pressed charges. Seeing that video messed with my fiancé and I’s psyche, because about two weeks earlier we told her mom that her little brother told us he was mean to to the dogs and I told her mom that if he put one finger on our dog there WILL be extreme consequences.
That all being said, about two weeks later I came home from work and my fiancé is balling her eyes out and I rush over and ask her what happened, that’s when she told me her mom is talking to him again after she promised us she wouldn’t, after he literally abused our dog. She is coming down this weekend to visit and whatnot and she told my fiancé she was going to sit me down and tell me she was talking to him again because she told my fiancé she want f to tell me herself but since I have bad anger when it comes to the people I love, my fiancé gave me a week to process it and figure out what I was going to say. When my fiancé was on the phone with her mom and she told her about it my fiancé said if you are going to let him into your life, I’m taking the dog back and I will not come back down ever again, you will never have a relationship with our future kids and you will not have a relationship with either one of us seeing we are both terrified of this guy and he has clearly proven himself not trustworthy. After my fiancé said that her mom said I understand you have to protect your family. I’m not sure what I’m going to say to her when I sit her down and how to even react to get it through to her that this guy is bad news and we down want to loose her but we’re going to have to because of this guy. So s what should I do when she tells me she’s going to let this guy back into her life?
