I've read most of SK's works, but I am having a tough time with this one. I don't really DNF books, but I'm about halfway through and avoiding reading it.

People who have finished it, should I keep going, or forget I ever started it and move on with my life?

I finally started playing BOTW on my son's switch and I'm feeling like I'm missing something.

I'm at the very beginning of the game, I raised the towers and the old man told me to go to the 4 shrines so I can get the hang glider. As far as I know, this is the only direction I've been given in the game to progress along.

On the way to the second shrine I was attacked by laser robot things on the ground and died. I then snuck around them and was able to do the bomb shrine. Bombs don't seem to affect them much so I continued to sneak away from them.

Then I died trying to go to the shrine in the cold area. It was hinted a few times that I can cook meals with peppers to have some cold resistan

I work for an author who has a large newsletter (several hundred thousand active subscribers) currently managed by mailchimp. Mailchimp is kind of annoying and very expensive, I think we're paying over $2500/mo for newsletters.

We're basically throwing money away in a sense that we're only using mailchimp for very basic things. A weekly newsletter is sent out (and then a re-send to non-openers a few days later), it's largely blog-like but will have some promotion to coincide with book releases, other author's releases, etc. The only other things we're really doing are an embedded form on the website for signups, and another embedded list of previous newsletters on the author's website. That

I have a cocaine lockup without upgrades. I buy supplies ($75k) and when all my supplies are used, my stock is worth $60k if I sell it in Los Santos.

That doesn't seem right. I've restarted the business twice. I'd rather not throw money at upgrades if it's still going to lose me money. Should I just continue trying to restart it until it stops losing me money?

Hello there, I'm new to the peloton and enjoying it so far. I saw a post a couple of weeks ago about a nice organizer a redditor made for their peloton stuff. I had added it to my mental checklist to do something similar. I have the tools and the skills to build a basic organizer, but I wanted to make sure I was taking into account all accesories I'd want to include with it.

That gave me the idea of using a pegboard organization method. I'd be able to move things around as needed and wouldn't have to get the design correct the first time. The materials came yesterday and I'm very happy how it turned out. Picture

r/budgetwise•

I've been using budgetwise alongside financier for a couple of weeks and I've been keeping some notes of things that I would like to see added to the product. I apologize if there is a formal request process that I'm not aware of:

Recommendations

  • Reconciliation - I know this is in progress, so I won't go on about it.
  • Add the cleared flag/indicator to the new transaction row. When entering a transaction it would save time to already mark it as cleared, otherwise you save it, it sorts itself depending on the date, then you have to find it and then click the cleared indicator.
  • Apply special formatting for transactions that are uncategorized / have uncategorized split transactions.

Are split transactions live? I saw it was mentioned in the March blog as "very soon" and nothing mentioned about it in the April blog. Are release notes available somewhere I'm not aware of that I should be checking?

My trial period ended long ago and I can't give it a real shakedown until split transactions are in there. (I have no problems paying for it, just don't want to buy it until I know I can start using it)

r/financier•

Is there a practical limit to how much data you should keep in a particular budget? I've been using Financier (paid) since January 15 and lately I'm starting to get issues reconciling my checking account (one budget file). I guess I could create a new budget file, but this concerns me going forward.

I clear and reconcile probably 3-5 times a week to cut down on errors. The more often I reconcile, the less stuff that has cleared can cause issues. That's the theory anyway.

So the other day I was reconciling and I was something like $.66 off and I could not figure it out, I was quite annoyed but I just ended up doing an adjustment transaction. A few days later I was reconciling again and

r/PleX•

I have plexpass and two inexpensive Fire 7" tablets for my kids. When they work, they're great plex machines because they use expandable microSD storage and I won't care if they destroy a $40 tablet.

The issues that I'm having is the Plex app will constantly switch the Sync > Storage settings from External to Internal, thereby "losing" my movies when I browse the local device. Sometimes if I just switch the storage location back to external it will find them again, but as it just so happens I checked tonight and neither of them work this time (the day before a long car ride). This is incredibly frustrating because putting 10+ movies back on each tablet is very time-consuming when it n

Any time I open a link that is an imgur album it doesn't load any images, if I use "Open in Browser" from the context menu it will work. Directly linked (single) images seem to work fine.
