ADVICE NEEDED this past year i completed my freshman year of college. i was absolutely miserable. i was commuting to college because the university i attend is only 30 minutes away and i am paying for college completely on my own since my family is not in the best place financially. the first three months i fell into a really bad depression. however, as time went by i learned to accept the fact that college just wasn’t going to be how i wanted it to be. i got myself out of this dark place by focusing on my grades and was able to maintain a 4.0 gpa the entire year. however, i applied to transfer to pitt this fall. i got accepted, and now i am faced with a tough decision. is transferring and getting the college experience i dreamed of worth going into debt? it’s only three more years, however i don’t want to spend them wishing for it to be over already. not sure what to do.

Management Reiterates F2023 Guidance of $66-78 Million in Revenue

• and $12-17 Million in Adjusted EBITDA

Kraken Robotics Inc., announced it has filed financial results for the quarter

• ended March 31, 2023 (“Q1 2023”).

"With more than $120 million of large contract wins since the beginning of 2022, we are seeing an acceleration in end market demand driven mainly by a heightened geopolitical focus on maritime security and growth in offshore renewable energy,"

• said President and CEO Greg Reid.

“We have started 2023 on solid footing.
Q1 is seasonally our slowest quarter, and we expect to see accelerating results throughout the year driven by defense contracts in hand and normal ramping of activity in our services business focused on offshore wind.”
Q1 2023 Financial Highlights

• Total revenue was $7.6 million versus $5.5 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2022 (“Q1 2022”), a 38% increase.
• Products revenue was $5.3 million compared to $3.7 million in Q1 2022, a 43% increase, which was driven by a record number of synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) being delivered, work on our large subsea battery order received in Q4 2022 as well as production of a KATFISH™ high-speed towed synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) system.
• Services revenue increased 26% to $2.3 million over Q1 2022, driven by completion of a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) contract utilizing our KATFISH system.
• Gross margins in Q1 2023 were 59.4% as compared to 32.9% in Q1 2022 and increased due to a change in product and project mix.
• Adjusted EBITDA1 for the quarter was $0.9 million compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.4 million in the comparable quarter. The impact was due to higher revenue and improved gross margins.
• Net loss in the quarter was $1.3 million, compared to net loss of $2.6 million in Q1 2022.
• Cash balance at March 31, 2023 was $4.0 million. Subsequent to the quarter, payments on large projects totalling over $8.0 million were received.
• Total assets were $65.2 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $63.9 million at March 31, 2022.
• At March 31, 2023, Kraken had $13.8 million in previously awarded non-repayable funding to draw upon from government agencies and project partners for research and development. Of this, $2.2 million of cash has been received for contracts to be completed.

Q1 2023 Operational Highlights
Product Business

• During the quarter, Kraken announced $2.8 million in SAS purchase orders from defence customers. These systems will be integrated to Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for use in minehunting and security applications.
• January 10, 2023: Appointed David Shea to Chief Technology Officer.

Service Business

• Q1 is seasonally the slowest quarter for our Services business given offshore weather conditions in our main operating geographies.
• During Q1, Kraken completed a 200-kilometer KATFISH seabed survey in coastal waters of a large Asia Pacific country.
• During Q1, Kraken completed several smaller sub-seabed services jobs (cable depth of burial and boulder detection) for offshore wind projects.

Operational Highlights Subsequent to End of Q1 2023

• May 15, 2023: $1.1 million of SAS orders.
• May 9, 2023: $16 million order for subsea batteries.
• April 20, 2023: $3 million order for subsea power systems.
• April 18, 2023: $4 million order from a NATO navy.

Outlook for 2023
Kraken Robotics reiterates its financial guidance provided on May 1, 2023.
For fiscal 2023, we expect revenue to be in the $66 - $78 million range and adjusted EBITDA in the $12 - $17 million range.
The mid-point of our guidance range ($72 million in revenue and $14.5 million in EBITDA) implies revenue growth of 76% over 2022 and adjusted EBITDA growth of 275%.
Capex in 2023 is expected to be $5-$6 million.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, Adjusted EBITDA is useful to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating operating performance by presenting the results of the Company on a basis which excludes the impact of certain non-operational items which enables the primary readers of the MD&A to evaluate the results of the Company such that it was operating without certain non-cash and non-recurring items.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and non-recurring impact transactions, if any. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined at Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenue.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for advice on the sort of salary I should expect for my slightly strange career.
I dropped out of a good university due to mental health, and taught myself CAD. Luckily, I was taken on by an Engineering company to do design work. I have worked there for 3 years and learnt a lot. My work consists of 3D mechanical design, sales, marketing, and dealing with customers and sales agents. The company is very small (<10 employees <£1m profit) so I have to do a bit of everything.
I have achieved my CSWA and CSWP for Solidworks. But that is really the only relevant qualification I have.
However, I am the functional "Head of Design", I have led and completed many projects worth ~£10k each. The company's best selling product is my design. And it's safe to say that the company would not function well without me. Both due to the design and sales aspects of my role.
Over the 3 years, I have had small annual raises, as money has been understandably tight during COVID/Ukraine. However, as it stands, my salary is under the minimum wage since April.
Obviously I will demand at least the minimum wage, but I would really like to know what you would consider a fair salary for this role. I am located in a rural area with generally low wages.
Any help would be appreciated 👍

I've had bad experiences with cars me having terrible mental health 5 years ago with my world crumbling I decided to drive a car I wasn't qualified to do. I ended up crashing no one was hurt or injured but I did cause 5k worth of damages I'm still paying off. Now my license is clean I'm having a hard time getting myself to drive with an instructor and have been wondering if I am suitable to drive.
Every time I sit behind a steering wheel I have the overwhelming urge to get out the car and run, the same goes with being a passenger the only way I am able to be in a car is sitting in the backseat holding on for dear life due to my in-laws driving as if they have 9 life's.
That's my experience I would love to hear yours, if you don't mind me adding some into my book.
Are there any success stories of Autistics being able to drive?
Any low functioning autistics being able to drive?
Any high functioning autistics able to drive?
Any bad experiences that made you never drive?

As a newbie to Kislev, and after having tried both Kostaltyn and Katarin to around turn 90-100 and struggling the entire time, I decided to try some Boris Campaigns (H/N and VH/N), and it was so fun and comfortable relatively compared to the other 2 LLs (challenging but not a slog) that it turned into a full map completion. In my opinion Boris' campaign effects lead him to be the best of the Kislev LL's, and I highly recommend anyone that enjoys/wants to try Kislev's roster but hates Kostaltyn/Katarin's difficult starting situations to try Boris!
Starting as Boris/Ursun Revivalists has a lot of advantages: - Chaotic wasteland is unpleasant climate rather than uninhabitable: This is a major advantage of Boris' faction compared to Kost/Kat; Kostaltyn/Katarin have to contend with the fact that their enemies all hold red/uninhabitable territory, meaning expansion is especially slow/difficult (growth, replenishment, construction cost penalties are crippling in the early game), whereas Boris can easily convert enemy settlements into useful territory, and a lot faster. The bonus Devotion is nothing to sneeze at either and makes it so Boris can spam his Invocations as needed to suit your campaign situation.
- Kislev Confederations: Boris is in the best position to confederate the other Kislev LLs by far. Kostaltyn/Katarin have to play the supporter game, and it takes ages to get to 600 supporters without a lot of territory/church buildings (Even by turn 80 as Katarin I was no where close to confederating Kostaltyn, if he manages to survive at all). In addition, AI Boris starts in the Chaos Wastes and tends to be wiped out quickly by Archaon and his vassal squad, making it hard to save him as Kost/Kat. Meanwhile, Boris can confederate through diplomacy, and seeing as Kislev is surrounded by common foes, it is very easy to get a military alliance with both of them, especially if you trade them some oblast territories that are not very useful anyway. In my campaign, I managed to get both of them by around turn 30-40.
- Supporters race: As above, Boris doesn't really care about supporters as supporting Kost or Kat doesn't really matter, unless you really want the global control and Kislev relations bonuses from reaching the supporter thresholds. In my opinion its worth the trade off to confederate Kost/Kat quickly and just ignore the supporter system entirely.
General Campaign observations/tips: From the perspective of an IE Boris campaign but applicable to IE Kislev in general!
- As per Legend of Total War, migrating down to Frozen Landing in Goromadny Mountains and abandoning his starting settlement is the way to go; it puts you a lot closer to the Kislev homeland/potential allies, and delays meeting Archaon and his many vassals. You can either stay and hold Frozen landing, or migrate directly to Praag, which I prefer to do.
- Securing Praag as fast as possible is key (I prefer conquering Ropesmenn clan for extra EXP and loot, and you don't care about losing supporters anyway)! Not only will holding one of the 3 Kislev cities boost your economy by a ton, Praag has a landmark building that decreases Global Recruitment duration by 1 turn which you can build at Tier 3, and at Tier 5 reduces Global Recruitment duration by 2 turns! If you combine this with the research under the Praag section of the research tree that further reduces Global Recruit duration by 1 turn, you are able to recruit War Bear Riders in 1 turn through Global Recruitment, meaning you can start seriously pumping out doomstacks once you get to Tier 5 (this took me around turn 60). Even before then at Tier 3, you can make a full stack/close to a full stack of Kossars as an emergency defensive army in 1-2 turns, which is very very useful!
- Oblast territories are useless (in the early/mid game); Kislev is surrounded by foes and the oblast regions are always the first regions to be sieged/attacked/destroyed. Don't bother building them up too much and focus your money in building up Praag in the early game, and later Erengrad and Kislev once you confederate Kost/Kat. Alternatively, you can always trade away the oblast regions to Kost/Kat; not only will they defend the settlement and build it up for you, it will generate a ton of positive relations and they most likely will offer a military alliance in exchange, which will make confederations a lot easier.
- Economy: Kislev's economy is mediocre early game, relying on post-battle loot and the main Kislev cities. It's not uncommon to be in the red especially if you don't have Erengrad/Kislev yet. Turtling around Praag/Hell Pit and relying on sacking and ambushing your enemies can be a good way of getting the money to upgrade Praag to Tier 3, at which point you can really snowball. Look out for regions with trade resources; Kislev is one of the factions most dependent on trade resources, as they provide stackable global bonuses to your economy and upkeep, for example tier 3 Iron buildings will reduce all upkeep by 3% for all armies! Other trade resources will do things like increase market/farm incomes percentage wise, so as you take more territory, your economy will compound more and more as you stack resource building bonuses and more farms/markets.
- Tech Tree: Kislev has several gems in the tech tree (Global Recruitment Time Reduction!), but most bonuses from tech are small/unimpactful. I tend to rush for Ice court training slots, Local recruitment slots, Casualty replenishment, and some combat bonuses to Kossars (in no particular order) in the early game, and then focus on the Praag technologies so that I can get reduction in Global recruit time by the time I get to Tier 5 Praag. Getting Student followers can make this process a lot faster too.
- Buildings: Kislev actually has excellent growth; once you get out of the oblasts and into the Chaos wastelands/Norsca/Empire with 3-4 settlements in a province, you can start getting Tier 5 settlements quite quickly, as Kislev has 2 growth buildings you can build in each settlement, getting upwards of ~250 - 300 growth or more in each province. Other useful buildings to build are Markets/Farms for money, Hero capacity buildings (Patriarch buildings in minor settlements, Frost Maiden buildings in major settlements), and the War Sled building, as it increases Global Recruitment capacity by 1 at Tier 4. Stacking these buildings allows you to recruit full stacks of elites instantly in the late game.
- Early game (turn 1-40): If you decide to migrate to Frozen Landing/Praag, then your first major enemy is likely to be Throt; by the time you secure Praag, Katarin may or may not have already dealt with him and taken Hell Pit; if not, then you can do it yourself by baiting him to leave Hell Pit in an ambush, or wait until he leaves the settlement undefended and taking it yourself. Once Hell Pit is taken, Throt is basically a non-threat and will not recruit much else besides stacks of skavenslaves/low tier units. After that, focusing on Throgg and Azazel is likely your next goal; it may be useful to save wiping out Azazel until after you confederate Kostaltyn, as he might have a Mark of Slaanesh that you can get rid of by using Azazel as a punching bag.
- Mid game (turn 40-70): By this time you can already snowball with several Kossar stacks once Praag is Tier 3-4 (see above). I also had Kostaltyn and Katarin in my faction by this time too, which means with Erengrad/Kislev your economy starts to really grow. I found that its quite common for Astragoth to conquer up to the Goromadny Mountains and become adjacent to your territory; something unorthodox I tried was actually gifting a territory to Astragoth in exchange for a defensive alliance; this is possible because you actually start off as neutral relations/minimal aversion with each other. This works out well for you because it covers your eastern flank, allowing you to focus entirely on securing all of Norsca; it will also give you a nice buffer region for when Archaon inevitably declares war on you, meaning you have time to finish off Throgg/Wulfric/Azazel, then come back to the east to handle Archaon when he is fighting Astragoth. If you confederated Katarin, you may be exposed to Azhag/Vlad/Drycha/Festus; in my experience AI Katarin does a good job of holding her capital and weakening these factions on her own. Once you confederate her, you likely have access to War Sleds/Frost Guard/War bear Riders, so you can fill her army up with elite units and roll over their weakened armies.
- Late game (turn 70 and beyond): With Praag at Tier 5 and the right tech, the world is your oyster and you can go wherever you want, as your economy should allow you to spam out full stacks of War bear Riders in 1-2 turns, and you can handle anything Chaos can throw at you. By this time you can start making your way North and clearing out the Chaos wastes - it may take you all the way to Cathay to completely wipe out Archaon for your victory condition depending on how many territories he has taken. Malus, Daniel/Demon Prince, Belakor and Sigvald should also be very easy to wipe out now.
What do you guys think? Do you prefer Kostaltyn, Katarin or Boris for the best Kislev Experience in IE?

Hi there,
I'll preface by saying that the vehicle I bought was definitely a "desperation buy" a little over a year ago. I worked at a job that required me to use my own personal vehicle for deliveries and I was given a (small) vehicle allowance for it. I'm aware I paid too much for it... but with the lack of used car inventory in my area (British Columbia) it was really one of the more affordable options/ my only option. Please be gentle with your judgements lol. I already feel like an idiot.
Fast forward to now, I have been with a different company now for the past 7 months, things are great and I have brand new company vehicle that is a part of my package that I barely take advantage of. This vehicle is meant to be used FULL TIME and ownership wants me to take advantage of this!
I'm currently financing a 2014 Ford Edge SEL. There's roughly 142k on it, and I owe $19,513 towards my loan. Overall, it's a great car but I have barely been using it due to having the brand new work vehicle. I currently pay $296 biweekly and my insurance is $150/month.
I'm wondering what my best option is regarding my personal vehicle? If I sell, I know that I'll be at a loss- average market price online is hanging around $13,000. Even if I got $13k for it, I would be losing over 6k... is it worth it to free up that extra money? I'm essentially paying for something that is just costing me so much money to park right now. I can afford the payments at the moment, but freeing up the extra money could put my in a substantially better spot financially. I want to make ensure that I'm not being short sighted with any decision I make.
Any and all advice and input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Something has been snacking on it on and off which I've never been able to identify despite keeping insect netting over these the entire time they've been growing but these bumps are brand new.
I don't think the bumps are related but I could be wrong. Any idea wtf this is? A disease? Insect damage?

Hi folks. SF6 will be the first game I've played in the franchise. I learned fighting games thru GGST. I have a couple questions about learning the game I hope someone can answer:
1) Is there a site equivalent to dustloop when it comes to Street Fighter?
2) I noticed the Joe Munday Gief's Gym materials in the resources for this sub. Since it's written for SFV, is that worth reading to help learn SF6?
Thanks

Has anyone experimented with creating intentional emulsions to maximize yield. I was just thinking that that would be the way to get the absolute maximum possible surface area and make sure the naphtha comes into contact with all of the bark. Then, afterward, break the emulsion with gentle heating/time. Do you guys think that this might have some promise or is it probably more trouble than it's worth.

I have a 2010 sierra 5.3 with 205,000 with original motor and trans. After normal use I parked it with no issues and a week later I started it to see service stabilitrak and service traction control lights. It has a rough idle, hard shifts from 1st to 2nd and down 2nd to 1st. After sitting overnight, when started a white/blue smoke comes out of the exhaust. I took it in and they say it needs a new motor. They said cylinder 7 is getting oil in it which is the cause for the smoke. Being high mileage I’m unsure if it’s worth doing at this point. Should I put the motor in and be happy with a newer feeling truck? Or sell as is or once I put the motor in? Thanks truck community

Hi ok, this is not a tech question but an rfo ... rather a suggestion.
I am employed in a small company and we are providing support for the Office/Microsoft 365 space to smb. I am trying to push mgmt to do something to increase our visibily and one idea i had was about getting into a more appealing way to get into potential customer reach and better total ownership for current one.
I got that sick idea to try to propose mgmt to acquire a specific domain is spotted, namely O********support.net as it will hold strong branding and accountability for what we are doing.
I just want to check if this is a silly looking idea, or if some good can be seen trought this.
Any opinion here? any suggestion highly appreciated

I was recently in Arches national park, and I noticed something. I decided, for some reason, to knock on the base of the rock, below the arch and at the end of the trail. I noticed something strange while doing so. I knocked on one part, and it sounded like a regular part of the rock. Then, I moved my hand over slightly, and I heard a hollow echo. I put my ear up to it and knocked again to confirm, and sure enough, I heard a hollow echo. I knocked again where I first knocked, and it sounded like normal, solid rock. Is there any way that the base of double arch could be hollow? I’ve looked all over the internet and found nothing.

Hi there! I have chronic migraines and nystagmus, so my neuroopthamologist suggested memantine. My neurologist is a resident who was very pushy for CGRP (and admitted he hadn't worked with memantine enough to talk about it) and his attending hadn't done much with it either but knows it is a treatment option. I was prescribed 5mg (take nightly) for 1 week and then 10mg after that. I am feeling very tired with even 5mg and incredibly drowsy the next day. I've never napped so much in my life. Even when I take my Adderall, I'm still so sleepy and unfocused. I'm assuming this is a side effect of the memantine and I'm wondering if it's worth pushing through? Obviously everyone is different- I'm just having trouble finding more about the severe sleepiness and remedies to counteract it.

So for context, I have three Swablu: one shiny, one hundo and one that's got the #2 IV spread for the Great League. This little dude costs 400 candy to evolve and I have roughly 750 now, but that's not really my concern.
When I had managed to get them, my friend told me to wait until a Swablu classic community day rolled around so that I could let it learn Moonblast. And after looking it up, yea I agree (Moonblast and Dazzling Gleam do the same amount of damage but Moonblast costs less, it's kind of weird).
Thing is though, I have no idea when that will be, and I'd ideally like it for my Great League Swablu and my hundo Swablu, which I will make into Mega Altaria (I already have the energy for it thanks to PokeGenie).
I don't currently have the Elite Charged TMs to spare, so what's the correct answer here?
And please don't just waste my time telling me about how Mega Altaria isn't worth it or some other thing like that, that's not what I'm asking.

Hello everyone, hope you guys are doing well. M26 My parents have almost started looking for a bride for me, I am sure in a year or two they will get me married. To be honest I am almost bald due to hereditary issues. I wear a hair patch. But because of my looks, I am very insecure and hence I used to avoid relationships and now marriage.
I am always afraid of rejection, I know, there will be a lot of girls who will be rejecting me just because of my baldness.
What should I do? I dont wanna get a hair transplant because of excessive pain( and even doctors are not taking guarantee for more than 2 years, so this is not worth doing it), as i am a Marwari, I can not shave my head, I am extremely religious.
My parents are saying looks are not everything, there is something called character but I am scared to the soul.
Thank you.

So my character was an architect with crime as special talent, the salary was great but my wife bought liabilities so my net income was going down every year after marriage to counteract this tried stealing cars and got 4 expensive cars in one year. I have been criminal many times but this happened for the first time..

I understand the narrative of "people don't change" used by Jesse. But after 4 seasons worth of failing, learning, mourning for loss, losing his father, almost dying twice... How can he be shown as "back to his old ways" from season 1 in the final part of the finale, especially when we saw him overcome his past and come to terms with how he feels about his dad.
Now I get that Ken may not be right for the CEO position fundamentally, but his behaviour at the end I feel, did not reflect all that happened in the prior seasons of the show.
