Can anyone suggest some Pokémon cards that look really cool but are still affordable? I’m trying to find some cards for my 1st grade daughter that she’ll be proud to show off, but I’m really not looking to break the bank on single cards. Also, suggestions that cross over into "Kawaii" instead of "cool" would be equally appreciated.

​Some context: My daughter is finally become a real life individual, and I’ve been buying her the occasional booster pack to share the nostalgia of collecting, but it seems the playground scene has changed since I was a kid. She took her cards to school all excited to trade, but came home crushed because the other kids told her "her cards were trash."

It seems to me that Betty is Rita is Diane is Camilla. This seems obvious to me, yet I can't seem to find anywhere else online where this theory is laid out, so I'm going to do it here.

The movie is laid out in two parts: Betty & Rita, versus Diane & Camilla (obviously). I think they're both telling the story of a single woman: the actress (Betty/Diane) and her Hollywood star persona (Rita/Camilla).

The first half shares a naive actor's idea of the "Hollywood Dream". Betty arrives from out of town, and the Hollywood Star person descends from the Hollywood hills. She is a blank slate and completely subservient to the aspiring actress. The star persona only brings money and access (a key)

A mod recently locked down a post about a $25 bonus for joining PSE Flex with some fear mongering about how you lose control over your power by joining.

This isn't true. PSE Flex is just a notification that PSE uses to encourage reduced power consumption. Furthermore, there are Flex programs which will actually pay you to participate.

Do I have to reduce my energy usage during Flex events?

No, reducing energy usage during Flex events is 100% voluntary for customers. There is no requirement to participate.

Will PSE shut off my power during Flex events?

No, PSE will not disconnect customers' power in response to increased demand. However, it is possible that a power outage might

I'm adding a closet.under my stairs and I am trying to make the rough in for a 30" door. It's a really tight space and I essentially have to attach my jack studs directly to the outside wall studs. Unfortunately this leaves me with a rough opening slightly too large, and a little cattywompus.

From what I found only I am aiming for 32.5" wide rough openning. My current situation would leave me with a rough opening that is 32.75" wide at the bottom and nearly 33" wide at the top. Is this too far out of my target for shimming?

I think my only other option would be to reframe the entire section, which wouldn't be crazy but I would really rather not.

Imagine a scenario where you have a box in a frictionless environment sitting on a parabola, starting high on one side. First gravity pulls the box down and the normal force causes horizontal movement. That's all fine and dandy. But when the ball reaches the bottom and starts moving up again: what generates the force which allows a moving box to travel uphill? It is clearly accelerating in the y-axis, but the net force (I assume (is still pulling the box down).

This is a conceptual question. I can easily figure out how high up a hill a moving object can travel using energy conservation, but my question is, for a force diagram, where is the force being generated that pushes the box up?
