She mainly wants it for Minecraft, heavily modded Sims 4, and Hogwarts Legacy. I've used HL as a benchmark since I think it's the most intensive game she wants to play, and it seems like this can get 60+ fps on optimized medium-high settings. Any suggested changes? Want to keep at about the same price since we also have to get peripherals.

3 Common Toyota Tundra Problems You May Need a Professional to Fix

https://preview.redd.it/yt31n1mgqy2b1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=bcefb27a0afcc3301b9d481f23f2a2a0881760e2
The Toyota Tundra is a relatively reliable truck. But even so, it has its fair share of common issues. It is also not a difficult truck to work on. I actually wrote up three common Toyota Tundra problems you may be able to fix yourself. That said, the Tundra also has a few issues that are very difficult to repair and probably best left to a professional:

Wheel hub bearing wear
Cracked exhaust manifold
Air pump failure

Wheel hub bearing wear

Many owners complain about issues with the front end of their second-generation Toyota Tundras. Is this because the trucks are poorly built? Or is it because front-end components wear out over time, and the rest of the Tundra lasts so long? You can decide that for yourself.

When my colleague Amanda Cline wrote up the Toyota Tundra complaints shared by the most owners, the lower ball joint in the steering linkage made the list. Then when 1A Auto’s resident mechanic filmed a Youtube video going over the five worst second-generation Tundra problems, he named the front wheel hub bearing wearing out.

You can easily test your wheel bearing by jacking up your truck and seeing if you can rock the tire back and forth. You can feel a worn wheel bearing click as it rocks. You may also be able to hear the bearing if you spin the tire. Finally, if you can’t hear it, you may be able to feel vibrations through the front coil spring.

Now I know someone in the comments is going to say they re-did their Tundra’s front end themself–twice. But here’s the deal: if you have one wheel bearing going, you should replace both. And you should look at rebuilding the front end while you’re in there. I have redone one front end myself, and next time I’m hiring it out. Pulling old bearings and pressing new ones in place is a difficult job best left to a professional

Cracked exhaust manifold

Another relatively common Toyota Tundra issue is a cracked exhaust manifolds. Because the truck has a V-shaped engine, it has one exhaust manifold running from both sides of the engine, down by the wheel well, and back to the exhaust pipes.

If the manifold cracks, you’ll see a check engine light. But you’ll also have an exhaust leak in front of the cabin, which means the truck is unsafe to drive.

Again, someone probably replaces exhaust manifolds themself. And the job is easier than rebuilding a front end. But the exhaust manifold is bolted to the engine, and the amount of heat it displaces means these bolts rust tightly in place. Breaking one off in your engine block can get expensive fast. So again, this is probably a job best left to a professional.

Secondary air injector pump failure

Seconday air injector pump failure is by far the most complained about Toyota Tundra problem. So what is it? This pump injects air into the Tundra’s exhaust. It does this while the engine is warming up, for the purpose of reducing emissions.

If one of the two secondary air injector pumps fails, it won’t affect how your truck runs at all. But it will throw a check engine light.

Early second-generation Toyota Tundras had these pumps mounted on top of the engine and beneath the exhaust manifold. When it fails, getting in there to replace it is a pain that is best left to a professional. But wait, there’s more.

Halfway through the second-generation Tundra’s run, Toyota had the bright idea of moving these air pumps out to both the fender wells, one for each manifold. There’s actually a hatch to get to them, and it is relatively easy to swap them out. So on certain trucks, this may be a job you can take on yourself.

Next, learn about the only Toyota Tundra model year to ever receive an ‘average’ score for reliability, or watch 1A Autos rundown of common second-generation Toyota Tundra problems in the video below:

2023.06.05 15:54 shortshitbtch Strained relationship with mother.

Hey guys, I’m not gonna put anything too personal because I don’t want her getting mad and accusing me of “airing her dirty laundry” but I’m in desperate need of some advice.
My mom had me when she was barely 18. She went through a extremely tough time financially, physically, and emotionally when it came to raising me the first little bit.
There were times where she had to chose between one of eating, where there was no heat in the car in the middle of winter and I was shaking I was so cold. It was tough for her. I took her 7 years to get her associates degree because she worked 3+ jobs to keep us afloat.
Eventually she got married to a different man than my dad (he was never really in the picture) and had another kid with him. He ended up being very abusive and middle school me was the reason we even got out alive. Fast forward to now, she’s graduated with her bachelor’s degree, and is thinking about going back to get her masters. She’s got a big fancy job that pays for her own house, and is no longer struggling the way she did when I was young. My little sibling is only with us half the time because of custody things, which means that things get strained regarding them because they’re constantly switching houses, which means switching rules, switching family dynamics, etc. They have managed the best they can, but blames me for the cause of the divorce and for anything bad that happened. I’m in a technical college now, living at home but paying rent for the space/utilities I take up. I’m in school almost 30 hours a week, and work around 25/30 hours a week. On top of managing insanely busy extracurricular activities. I’m not home a lot. I try to help out where I can but I’m not around to do much. My mom and I have had a strained relationship for a while, but in recent years it has been so much worse. To the point where we get into yelling matches, and I’ve slept at friends houses to avoid being around her. I love my mom, don’t get me wrong. She has sacrificed so much to be able to live the life she is now, but I feel like she resents me for it. I have more opportunities than she does, I’m 21 and not pregnant, I’m set to graduate in less than a year. I’m not majorly struggling. She doesn’t seem to like me as a person, and it’s starting to feel like she doesn’t like me as a daughter. My question here is this: If I’m unable to move out, how do I manage living in a household where my own mother resents me?

Chronologica's Drag Race Season 4: Episode 8- Big Mother
She's into superstitions’
Omari jumps to the side and throws a wink, as he starts buzzing with energy, pointing to Zazu as she twirls around with a grin on her face.
New kicks in the candlelight
Zazu kicks her feet into the air before dropping into a split, as Omari hits the floor with a BOOM at the same time, as the others gasp.
King Omari Star: “Oh, I see you Zazu. I’m not going down without a fight.”
She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain
Omari whips off his cape, revealing his look beneath as he glitters through the stage, moving in fast succession to the beat.
Come on!
The two move in quick succession, both giving their all as Zazu spins around into a flip, and Omari jumps onto the floor with a grin.
Yeah, she'll make you go insane
Zazu winks, ripping off her wig to reveal another beneath as Chronologica gasps, death dropping in furious fashion.
Gotta, gotta, gotta la vida loca!
Two competitors, both giving their all, end with a boom as Omari poses, Zazu hits the floor and the other racers excitedly clap.


Wow.



Shantay… you both stay.
Omari and Zazu gasp, as Zazu responds by cheering and Omari grins.
King Omari Star: “A double save has only been done once before, and this feels fantastic. I had fun with it, and I'm proud.”
You’re both still here. Now, dance, AND LET THE MUSIC PLAY!

The competitors walk into the werkroom.
“No message tonight!” Zazu cheers, Omari looking at her with a smile.
The two sit down, along with the other racers.
Omari extends his hand, as Zazu holds it with a smile.
“Yes.” Omari smiles. “Okay, enough hand holding.”
Zazu giggles.
“I didn’t even know this really was a thing, wow.” Jaslene shrugs. “I thought it was a one off with Kraven.”
“And a bad choice, at that.” Fiore responds.
“You both gave your all.” Granny smiles. “And truly, I do think it couldn’t have gone either way. It was a tie.”
“I mean…” Aguacate giggles. “I’d lie, but I actually did enjoy your show.”
“Thank you.” Omari nods.
“I had such fun.” Zazu grins. “I don’t think… has anyone survived three lip syncs before?”
“Nope, no one has.” Crayola responds.
“The gaggeroni.” Yasmin beams.
“Wow.” Zazu smiles.
“I am just-” Omari exhales. “So pleased to be here, and you know, I’m going to fucking come for you all- but I’m excited to do it my way. I’ve been rigid-” Omari looks at Jaslene.
Jaslene smirks.
“But this lip sync was a wakeup call. You know, enjoy the ride. That’s the fun part.” Omari responds.
“Livin’ La Vida Loca.” Aguacate winks.
“Exactly.” Omari purses his lips. “And let’s congratulate our two winners, Yasmin and Crayola…”
The others clap.
“I really do want to say, whilst it is a double win, I expected you to win solo, Yasmin.” Crayola nods.
The others look confused.
Jaslene Bangus: “Girl, you just congratulate the other person, and put your own performance down… why? Why make yourself look worse?!”
“Well, thank you.” Yasmin smiles. “I feel pleased and happy that I’m here, I’m giving my all and I finally got a win!”
Everyone grins, before Fiore stands up. “I’d love to chat, well, I wouldn’t, so I’m going to de-drag.”
“Oop.” Yasmin responds.
Fiore Stravaganza: “Last week, I was part of a duo.”
“My girl…” Jaslene chuckles.
Fiore Stravaganza: “But real talk, it’s time we’re over. I need to win. And I need to do it… solo.”
Fiore de-drags, delicately placing her wig on the mannequin.
Fiore Stravaganza: “It’s my time.”
~
The Next Day, Yasmin passes bread around to the racers.
“Just… bread?” Crayola asks.
“Bite into it.” Yasmin smirks.
“Bite… bite into the bread?” Crayola asks.
“Okay, I'm sure there’s a trick.” Jaslene says, putting down her bread. “I don’t eat carbs anyway.”
“Neither do I.” Fiore responds, putting down her bread.
“I fucking love carbs.” Omari bites into the bread, a dash of jam spurting over his chest.
“Jam filled treats!” Yasmin cheers. “I love baking.”
“Oh, you want to win again.” Granny chuckles.
Yasmin giggles.
You’ve got drag mail!
Get into the house. GET INTO THE HOUSE!
“The house?” Aguacate raises an eyebrow.
“It’s Drag Time!” Rachelle Mirage yells.
Everyone gasps.
“Hi Racers! Chronologica has had some pressing business to attend to, so unfortunately will NOT be here this week. Instead, I’ll be hosting!”
Everyone cheers.
“Racers, it’s time for an IMPROV CHALLENGE!” Rachelle Mirage cheers.
Aguacate gasps.
Aguacate: “I am a fabulous comedic Queen!”
“You all will be entering the BIG MOTHER house. Prepare yourself for entry into the house, wherein you will have to make me and the judges laugh, with quick wit, fun times and truth. They’ll be a range of adventures as you live together for “24 hours”, but I also want to see you bare your soul. Be real! Make me laugh… and have fun.”
Yasmin Raiz: “I am excited for this challenge. It’s one I know I can do well, and we get to live together!”
“Good luck, racers… and do not fuck it up!”
~
The racers chat around the table as they get ready for the challenge.
“How do we all feel about this challenge?” Jaslene purses her lips.
Jaslene Bangus: “I’m aware I bombed a comedy challenge. I want to prove that it was a fluke.”
“I feel prepared.” Fiore nods. “I think I can do well.”
“You always do, loca.” Aguacate giggles.
“No, babe… you were the loca one.” Fiore smirks.
“I feel quite excited.” Omari grins. “You know, I don’t clearly do well with a planned structured… hosting moment. But I feel as if I can do it this week.”
King Omari Star: “I’m aware I need to boost my comedic chops. This is an opportunity to showcase it.
“I agree.” Zazu smiles. “It’s totally, like a fun one… and I can’t wait to get into the pretty house…”
“I’m going to be cooking us ALL the stuff.” Yasmin grins. “And on my witty knees.”
“You love to be on your knees.” Aguacate smirks.
Yasmin winks.
“This will be lovely.” Granny says. “To me, it’s a fun opportunity to really sit and enjoy myself.”
“I agree.” Crayola responds. “I have a joke or two, ya’know to respond to.”
“What’s the joke?” Omari raises an eyebrow.
“...Oh, class, just wait and see, Mrs Boxx is going to have a ton of fun.” Crayola winks.
Aguacate: “Crayola- in theory, should be a funny Queen. She certainly is funny looking. But think of her like that. She’s not funny.”
Crayola giggles.
Aguacate: “She’s just a teacher. And in a challenge about being you AND making us laugh? Oof.”
Meanwhile, Jaslene walks over to Fiore.
“I wanted to chat…” Jaslene grins. “This is a good challenge for us to bounce off each other.”
“Mhm?” Fiore asks.
“We play off. We enjoy each other, we joke, we have fun with it that way.” Jaslene says. “In many ways, a protective blanket- an asset to each other.”
“That’s an idea.” Fiore nods.
“You know, us A.E Girls? Sticking together?” Jaslene winks.
“Hmm.” Fiore purses her lips. “I think we should work solo. Last week, the music groups… didn’t work together. So I love the idea, but… Meh.” Fiore responds.
Jaslene Bangus: “Thanks, sis.”
“Okay, I'll focus on this solo.” Jaslene shrugs.
“Good idea.” Fiore smiles.
Jaslene rolls her eyes in her confessional.
~
Rachelle goes to visit the racers.
“Hi, Zazu!” Rachelle waves.
“Chronologica!” Zazu grins.
“Tell me, can you handle the heat in this kitchen?”
“What kitchen?” Zazu looks at Rachelle, confused.
“Okay, that was a joke for you to take.” Rachelle laughs.
“OH!” Zazu looks surprised.
“Now, the other comedic challenges you have bottomed. What will you be doing here to stop that.”
“I’m here to just…” Zazu purses her lips. “I am not sure.”
Zazu Nova: “Can I get a break? Can I get a break please? Where is the makeover?!”
“You naturally have a fun attitude. I want you to drive into that…” Rachelle says nervously. “Can you do that?”
Zazu nods. “I’ll try my best.”
Rachelle nods.

“Hi Granny!” Rachelle smiles.
“Hello dear.” Granny grins back.
“Tell me, can you handle the heat in this kitchen?”
“I hope we all can.” Granny nods.
“Hmm.” Rachelle eyes Granny, pondering. “Granny. You’re a sweet soul.”
“Oh, my dear- I just want to have a lovely time.” Granny nods.
“This is a challenge about showing up and really enjoying yourself, but also being a STRONG presence. I think you’re funny, but I also think- your response just indicates to me, that kind soul- which I LOVE, could get in the way.”
“Mhm.” Granny purses her lips.
“If there is a giant inflatable axe you are given in the house, would you hit the others with it?”
“Oh…” Granny shakes her head. “Now I don’t know about all that…”
“YES.” Rachelle yells. “The answer is yes.”
Granny stares awkwardly.
“I’m going to need you to really try and steal the show. Make yourself the priority.”
“Noted.” Granny nods.

“Hello, Aguacate!”
“My Latina Sister who is not Latina, and sometimes, I ponder, not a woman!” Aguacate yells.
Rachelle cackles. “Tell me, can you handle the heat in this kitchen?”
“Darling.” Aguacate extends her arms. “I will bring such a level of spice, you will shit yourself.”
Rachelle gasps, before doubling over in laughter.
“What?” Aguacate looks at Rachelle. “You can’t handle this? I thought you were the Queen of taking it?”
Rachelle blushes, before continuing to giggle.
“Darling…” Aguacate grins. “I feel ready for this challenge.”
“I asked this question earlier, but- If there is a giant inflatable axe you are given in the house, would you topple the others with it?”
“I’ve never been the one to top, but for you? I’d make an exception.” Aguacate nods.
“That’s what I want to hear.” Rachelle grins.
~
The racers all walk into the Big Mother House.
“Thank god for silk pajamas.” Omari raises his hands in the air, stretching.
“This house is quaint.” Granny smiles.
“FOOD!” Aguacate yells, running over to a charcuterie board, before stuffing a little sausage in her mouth.
“Of course, she can sniff out the sausage.” Omari smirks.
“What is a charcuterie board, if not a pizza without a base?” Crayola jokes.
Nobody laughs.
“This is lovely!” Granny smiles.
“Oooh…” Zazu looks at a mirror. “What’s this-” Zazu touches the frame, as the house starts flashing wild lights. “OH MY GOD!”
“WE’RE GONNA DIE!” Aguacate yells. “Someone hand me an axe!” Aguacate screams.
“I’m going to kill you.” Omari looks at Aguacate.
“Please, kill her!” Fiore smirks.
“Guys, let's calm down…” Granny looks at each other with a smile.
“Embrace the chaos, Granny.” Aguacate winks.
The lights stop flashing, and Yasmin smiles. “Oooh, this is going to be a long night ahead.”
“We are not going to sleep tonight.” Crayola responds.
“Oh, like…” Zazu looks at the others. “What do we do?”
“Let’s talk about the deep sadness inside of us all.” Yasmin smiles, grabbing a cup of hot chocolate.
“...Let’s not!” Aguacate laughs.
“I worry sometimes about my family dying. That I will do something- trigger an audience, be too queer, too gay- and they’ll face the consequences.” Yasmin nods. “That… my existence puts them at risk.”
“Ooft.” Fiore looks into the camera.
“I worry about my school kids. That as a teacher, as a gay man- people will think I’m a bad thing.” Crayola says. “I exist and am proudly me, but the world is homophobic and… I worry I've come here and no one will get it. Instead, I'll be a joke.”
“You’re not a joke, dear.” Granny says, looking at Crayola.
“I feel the same.” Jaslene nods.
The others look surprised.
“You know, I’ve been floating.” Jaslene says. “But I made a career for myself out of nothing in the Philippines. I was a girl who sold herself- was used for her body for many years.”
The others look speechless.
“But I became a star. And I want to show that here.” Jaslene nods. “Even if I do it alone.”
Fiore eyes Jaslene.
“I… feel the same.” Zazu tears up.
“I’ve been scared.” Omari sighs. “I don’t have many friends in the community. Many of mine died, of diseases, of drugs- living as a lesbian in a world where your gay friends died taught me love and embracing those around you wasn’t worth it.”
Jaslene nods, looking at Omari.
“But you know? Fuck it. I’m here, I’m going to…” Omari looks to the side, noticing an inflatable sword. “Slay that shit. And embrace where I am here. And you know, this is a good place to be real.”
“Damn right.” Jaslene nods.
“I’m not talking deep.” Aguacate responds.
“Agreed.” Fiore adds.
“Well, sword fight?” Omari smirks.
“I THOUGHT YOU’D NEVER ASK!” Aguacate yells.

“Okay, that was a joke for you to take.” Rachelle laughs.
“OH!” Zazu looks surprised.
“Now, the other comedic challenges you have bottomed. What will you be doing here to stop that.”
“I’m here to just…” Zazu purses her lips. “I am not sure.”
Zazu Nova: “Can I get a break? Can I get a break please? Where is the makeover?!”
“You naturally have a fun attitude. I want you to drive into that…” Rachelle says nervously. “Can you do that?”
Zazu nods. “I’ll try my best.”
Rachelle nods.

“Hi Granny!” Rachelle smiles.
“Hello dear.” Granny grins back.
“Tell me, can you handle the heat in this kitchen?”
“I hope we all can.” Granny nods.
“Hmm.” Rachelle eyes Granny, pondering. “Granny. You’re a sweet soul.”
“Oh, my dear- I just want to have a lovely time.” Granny nods.
“This is a challenge about showing up and really enjoying yourself, but also being a STRONG presence. I think you’re funny, but I also think- your response just indicates to me, that kind soul- which I LOVE, could get in the way.”
“Mhm.” Granny purses her lips.
“If there is a giant inflatable axe you are given in the house, would you hit the others with it?”
“Oh…” Granny shakes her head. “Now I don’t know about all that…”
“YES.” Rachelle yells. “The answer is yes.”
Granny stares awkwardly.
“I’m going to need you to really try and steal the show. Make yourself the priority.”
“Noted.” Granny nods.

“Hello, Aguacate!”
“My Latina Sister who is not Latina, and sometimes, I ponder, not a woman!” Aguacate yells.
Rachelle cackles. “Tell me, can you handle the heat in this kitchen?”
“Darling.” Aguacate extends her arms. “I will bring such a level of spice, you will shit yourself.”
Rachelle gasps, before doubling over in laughter.
“What?” Aguacate looks at Rachelle. “You can’t handle this? I thought you were the Queen of taking it?”
Rachelle blushes, before continuing to giggle.
“Darling…” Aguacate grins. “I feel ready for this challenge.”
“I asked this question earlier, but- If there is a giant inflatable axe you are given in the house, would you topple the others with it?”
“I’ve never been the one to top, but for you? I’d make an exception.” Aguacate nods.
“That’s what I want to hear.” Rachelle grins.

The racers all walk into the Big Mother House.
“Thank god for silk pajamas.” Omari raises his hands in the air, stretching.
“This house is quaint.” Granny smiles.
“FOOD!” Aguacate yells, running over to a charcuterie board, before stuffing a little sausage in her mouth.
“Of course, she can sniff out the sausage.” Omari smirks.
“What is a charcuterie board, if not a pizza without a base?” Crayola jokes.
Nobody laughs.
“This is lovely!” Granny smiles.
“Oooh…” Zazu looks at a mirror. “What’s this-” Zazu touches the frame, as the house starts flashing wild lights. “OH MY GOD!”
“WE’RE GONNA DIE!” Aguacate yells. “Someone hand me an axe!” Aguacate screams.
“I’m going to kill you.” Omari looks at Aguacate.
“Please, kill her!” Fiore smirks.
“Guys, let's calm down…” Granny looks at each other with a smile.
“Embrace the chaos, Granny.” Aguacate winks.
The lights stop flashing, and Yasmin smiles. “Oooh, this is going to be a long night ahead.”
“We are not going to sleep tonight.” Crayola responds.
“Oh, like…” Zazu looks at the others. “What do we do?”
“Let’s talk about the deep sadness inside of us all.” Yasmin smiles, grabbing a cup of hot chocolate.
“...Let’s not!” Aguacate laughs.
“I worry sometimes about my family dying. That I will do something- trigger an audience, be too queer, too gay- and they’ll face the consequences.” Yasmin nods. “That… my existence puts them at risk.”
“Ooft.” Fiore looks into the camera.
“I worry about my school kids. That as a teacher, as a gay man- people will think I’m a bad thing.” Crayola says. “I exist and am proudly me, but the world is homophobic and… I worry I've come here and no one will get it. Instead, I'll be a joke.”
“You’re not a joke, dear.” Granny says, looking at Crayola.
“I feel the same.” Jaslene nods.
The others look surprised.
“You know, I’ve been floating.” Jaslene says. “But I made a career for myself out of nothing in the Philippines. I was a girl who sold herself- was used for her body for many years.”
The others look speechless.
“But I became a star. And I want to show that here.” Jaslene nods. “Even if I do it alone.”
Fiore eyes Jaslene.
“I… feel the same.” Zazu tears up.
“I’ve been scared.” Omari sighs. “I don’t have many friends in the community. Many of mine died, of diseases, of drugs- living as a lesbian in a world where your gay friends died taught me love and embracing those around you wasn’t worth it.”
Jaslene nods, looking at Omari.
“But you know? Fuck it. I’m here, I’m going to…” Omari looks to the side, noticing an inflatable sword. “Slay that shit. And embrace where I am here. And you know, this is a good place to be real.”
“Damn right.” Jaslene nods.
“I’m not talking deep.” Aguacate responds.
“Agreed.” Fiore adds.
“Well, sword fight?” Omari smirks.
“I THOUGHT YOU’D NEVER ASK!” Aguacate yells.

2023.06.05 15:38 Guilty_Chemistry9337 File 001- The Burnt Figure

On the morning of December 8th, 1941, enlistment offices all across the United States began to be filled by young men eager to enact revenge for what the Empire of Japan had done at Pearl Harbor. The offices would stay busy for a long, long time. It was a dangerous job, with life and limb at serious risk, and many more young men would join the Army and Navy by conscription. Lesser celebrated, and likely they’d have it no other way, were whole second armies of support personnel. These would be nurses, middle-aged clerks too old and or fat to fight, surveyors, engineers, and merchant sailors.
Some would be spies or intelligence men working for the Office of Strategic Services. Others were mysterious ne’er-do-wells, scoundrels who were very good at the procurement of various goods. Some would be anthropologists and translators, eager to help obscure native communities deal with the technologically advanced war tearing the island worlds asunder. Some would be entertainers for the USO, there to help with morale, doing what they were best at, whether it was telling jokes or dancing beautifully. Others might be war correspondents, to communicate, in a highly censored way, what was going on to the folks back home. Then there were the bean counters. Everybody overlooked the bean counters.
Many of the combat veterans, and even some of the non-combat personnel, would never make it home again. Others made it home, but only after being maimed and scarred in body and mind. Yet most would make it home. All of them would have stories to tell, though many would never tell their stories. There was a culture of silence during the war, ‘loose lips sink ships.’ It wasn’t just a catchy phrase, people took it to heart. It became a habit. Even long after the war was over people kept their lips zipped shut.
And yet, there were still millions and millions of stories, and some of them would be recorded. They might be memoirs committed to paper years later. Then again, many of these people kept diaries. They would write home every chance they get. Officers as a regular part of their duties were constantly writing up reports. Every single one would end up being read by someone, somewhere, and passed up the chain depending on its importance, or filed away if the chain ended there. With every battle won or lost, extensive analyses were conducted on what went right and what went wrong, and how we could do better. Actions of bravery were written up for recommendations for medals or promotions. Every serious infraction meant a court-martial, and court martials left transcripts. Bitter denouements and protests were written when it was felt officers weren’t living up to their duties, and in these cases, the lips were zipped especially tight, but the reports themselves were poured over. Every location where the U.S. went, whether it was the location of a battleground, a ranging area for artillery, site for a depot, or a road used to transport was thoroughly mapped and described in detail.
Then there were the bean counters. How many 20 mm shells does it take, on average, to knock down a Val dive bomber? How many pints of A-positive blood should be stocked in a forward field hospital? How many gallons of ice cream are needed to keep a company of Marines in good fighting spirit? The bean counters might not know, but they recorded everything down just in case you wanted to sift through the data, and a lot of people did. The data would end up having a massive contribution to the war effort.
Last were two groups of material that were never meant to see the light of day. The sort of thing that ought to be recorded, but then hidden away only for the purview of top men. The first is information you might expect would cause classification or a cover-up. Disastrous friendly fire incidents. Accusations and or confessions of war crimes. State secrets involving intelligence on enemies and allies both.
Then there’s the other tranche of material. The stuff that defies explanation. Secrets from the hidden corners of the earth that were never meant to be revealed until some young farmboys from a country far away showed up in places where they were never supposed to be.
The following provides an example.
Excerpts from the personal diary of Second Lieutenant Yvette Morgan, Army Nursing Corps, 231st Hospital Group, Normandy region of France, July and August 1944. Aged 20 at the time of writing.
Note: Most American personnel in WWII were restricted from keeping personal diaries for counterintelligence purposes. It was not uncommon that this restriction was flaunted, particularly among personnel with the luxury of a little bit of privacy. Lt. Morgan seems to have understood the purpose of the restriction, and so the redactions in the following excerpts are her own. A careful eye will note she’s made a couple of errors, which is why censorship should be left to the professionals.
July 30th, 1944- Just got off the truck and finally made it back ‘home.’ Just spent all ‘day,’ helping set up the field hospital. We’ve commandeered a high school in the little town of St. A. I think it’s going to work out pretty well. There’s a gym with a tall ceiling and high windows, which means good natural lighting, so we’re setting that up as an operating room. We’ve got about six beds in each classroom, which is just about the number you’d like. The corridors are nice and wide enough to handle gurneys, and there’s plenty of room out front for the ambulances. I don’t think we could have found a better location outside of a purpose-built actual hospital.
The real work starts tomorrow. Well, today, I guess. They ought to be taking patients right about the time I’m writing this. I drew the short stick, and now I’m stuck with the overnight shift. That’s my luck for you. Back home that would have meant at least it would be pretty quiet, but I don’t think that’s going to apply to this kind of duty.
“Home” is actually this nice little old cottage they’ve set me up with, and four other girls. It’s in the tiny commune of L. It’s actually about ten miles from the hospital, not far from the sea. Every shift they’re going to drive us back and forth in these trucks. Seems like an awful waste of gasoline to me, but what do I know? The whole reason they’re doing this is because the hospital’s technically in range of German artillery, and they like to keep staff like us out of harm's way when we’re not needed. I suppose we won’t be in range much longer anyway. That said, Capt. G says the front line’s been stalled out for a while. He says it’s slow going with all these enormous hedgerows they grow everyplace around here. I never knew they could grow so big, they must be hundreds of years old. I thought the poplar windbreaks they started growing back home after the Dust Bowl were impressive, but they’ve got nothing on these things. We can still hear the guns, though. They’re a long way off, and kind of sound like thunder, though you can tell they’re not because the sky is perfectly clear. At least, I hope, they’re mostly our guns.
The morning’s still a little chilly, but it promises to be a warm day. I’m going to have to get used to sleeping through it. After long last summer is really here. The cottage itself is lovely. I can’t help but wonder about the people who really make this home. There’s a delightful flower garden in front and just the most precious herb garden right outside the kitchen window. When I get married and we have a home, I’m going to insist on one just like it.
The other girls? Well, what can I say. 5 of us all sharing this little place, at least we’ll be working different shifts mostly. I’m sure we’ll get by swimmingly.
July 31st- Just got back and finished breakfast for dinner. Part of me still wishes I were at work. If I were at a civilian hospital I still would be. Funny how the military insists on sticking to the scheduled shift and they order me to go home and get some sleep. I might get used to such regimentation.
I say this as if I’m not completely exhausted and overwhelmed. I’m sure I’ll sleep tonight. Today, whatever. As I’d suspected, we had our first wounded in during the morning shift. Most of them had been through the Mobile Advanced hospital and had been at least looked over by a doctor. Plenty had already gone through an initial surgery, just to stabilize them, close gaping wounds, and tie off arteries. It was really crude stuff, but I suppose that’s the point. Our doctors opened them back up and fixed them up properly. There were a few walking wounded, shrapnel wounds, and nasty burns we were able to help out too. I feel glad to be part of such a great team. I spent the first half of my shift assisting in two different surgeries. Then the last half attending the wards.
I had hoped that would be more peaceful. Our boys are so brave, even when you can tell they’re really broken up over what they’ve been through. And yet it wasn’t meant to be.
I mentioned that St. A.’s was within range of German artillery. Well, there was an attack last night, early this morning, I’m still not used to the schedule. They didn’t hit the hospital. They hit the other side of town. It was loud enough to shake all of the windows, and even the ground shook. It scared the daylights out of me. Some of the boys yelled too. A couple of them fell out of their beds and tried to hide underneath. I can’t imagine what it would be like to go through that a second time, let alone time after time, day after day like our boys.
I was just starting to get things settled down and everything squared. Then there was commotion. A bunch of orderlies, then nurses, then doctors running around the front main hall. We were expecting wounded. They’d hit an old medieval church on the other side of town. The Church of Saint Adalthred. There had been a platoon of soldiers sleeping there. Now they were bringing the survivors in.
I had never done triage before, though I remembered my training. You divide the patients into three groups. The group that needs surgery absolutely immediately if they’re going to live. The group that can wait for surgery. And then there’s the group that will die regardless.
There were two young men that were in the last group. The first had a massive open head wound. The strange thing was he was perfectly conscious and capable of speaking, despite the injury. There was just nothing that we could do for him. He was alert for about an hour, and then he simply passed away. Is it horrible to think that was something of a mercy?
The other suffered terrible burns, and apparently some of the blast as well. After the triage, I was assigned to care for him. The doctor had estimated over 90 percent of his body suffered burns in the third degree. The kind of amount that really makes you question your faith. I’ve seen burn patients, but not when they get first arrive like this. His eyes and ears were gone. A strange thing was, he wasn’t screaming like we’d expect burn patients to do. The doctor said his vocal cords were burnt out, but his lungs were relatively free of smoke damage, and he didn’t have that horrible cough. The doctor said it was like “he’d inhaled flame.” He was simply silent. He’s not expected to last the night. Day, I mean. I suppose I won’t see him again. I suppose that’s mercy too.
I mentioned yesterday that I think a school building serves as a fine hospital in a pinch. I’m not sure about that anymore. It’s the ventilation. There isn’t any in the school. Fumes from the ether linger everywhere. So does the stink of infection, no matter how much we fight it. And that last patient. It was like he was roasted. Literally. I thought I’d be sick.
August 1st- The truck ride back is starting to become my favorite part of the day. This one was a long one, despite being the exact same length as all the other shifts. We’re really packed now. The minute we get one patient ready for transport back to England, another takes his bed. They say the war might be over before Christmas. I hope. Don’t know how I’ll be able to keep up this pace for so long.
The little old priest whose church got blown up by the Germans came around to volunteer at the hospital. Poor old thing has nowhere else to go. He’s helping us roll bandages, working the autoclaves, and helping the chaplain out with the prayers. He seems to be helping with morale, god bless him. Particularly the chaplain’s. The priest doesn’t speak English and the chaplain doesn’t speak French, but they both speak Latin well enough to get by. I’ve never heard it spoken before. I grew up Lutheran, and it seems so strange. I’m a long way from home.
The burn patient is still alive. I was really surprised when I got in and found out. Apparently so are the doctors. Of course, I’m attending him again and was asked to change his bandages. Most of the rest of his skin that hadn’t already sloughed off last night did so while I was changing them. I didn’t see any sign of infection yet, though of course, we all know what’s coming. Other than that there wasn’t much I can do. He’s started letting off this low moan. The doctor said he was not really conscious. I can’t imagine he would be, he’s still getting so much morphine.
He was already bleeding through before my shift ended, so I thought I’d do the next shift a favor and take care of it a second time on the same shift. This time the doctor had me place his arms over his chest and belly, and bandage them all together. Also, he had me bandage his legs together. The doctor said that if there’s a miracle and somehow he manages to pull through, it will be because he somehow beat the infection. And if he’s going to have any chance at all then we’ll need to minimize his contact with bandages until can receive grafts. When I was done he ended up looking like a mummy, right out of the pictures. I don’t think it will matter much, and neither does the doctor. But we have to keep trying.
August 2nd- Just got back. The burn victim is still alive. It’s so strange. It’s all I can think about now. When I first got in I went straight to his room. I was absolutely shocked, it was gruesome. His bandages were positively soaked through. There was more red than white. I was just about to chew out the girl on the shift before me. I thought that nobody had changed the bandages since my last shift, but then she told me that she’d just changed them two hours previously. I couldn’t make head or tales of it. So I just got to work changing them myself. It felt so odd, the way the other patients in the room were looking at us. Like they knew there was something off about the whole thing. The patient’s moaning is getting louder too. It must be so unnerving to the others sharing the room.
Then, of all things, Maj. P and Col. S came in to observe. I haven’t seen either of them since we started setting up the hospital. They don’t usually stay up so late. They were washed up and decided to help me bandage the patient. As if they weren’t just there to observe me, but wanted to be a part of it too.
Sure enough, after only a couple of hours, the bandages were soaked through again. I’ve never seen such terribly bleeding. I asked the doctor if it could have possibly been hemophilia. It’s something I’ve only heard about but haven’t seen. He only shook his head like he was sure that it wasn’t. Yet he also looked even more confused than I was. We’ve been giving the patient transfusions. But at this rate, I just don’t know where it’s all coming from.
I know I shouldn’t be writing this sort of thing down, but the doctor confided that he’s thinking of reducing the morphine, maybe the patient will be more lucid. I don’t know how the doctor expects him to communicate with his vocal cords destroyed, or what he could possibly have to say even if he could talk. Well, it’s not my place to decide. I think he knows more about what’s happening to the poor man than I do.
It was all just blood too. In the bandages. No pus at all. I don’t know how he’s not becoming infected.
August 3rd- There’s a great deal of strangeness happening at the hospital. I saw the General’s staff car the moment our truck pulled around to drop us off, the little flags on the front gave it away.. Instead of starting my shift, they asked me to come back to Col. S’s office. My first thought was that I was in trouble, and they’d somehow find this diary. Both Maj. P and Col. S. were there, along with Gen C. who’d driven down from Corps HQ with a couple of his staff. There were also two men from what might have been regular Army, except they wore two long dark coats. I didn’t get their names.
Apparently, they’d all been there for hours and were wanting to debrief me. Well, it sure was intimidating, but they just wanted me to tell them what I’d seen. Fair enough. The patient was burned all over his body. He probably should have died the first night but hasn’t. There’s an awful amount of bleeding which I can’t account for. There’s also no pus or smell of infection, which also didn’t make sense. I told them about how he’s been given large amounts of morphine, though I didn’t say what Cap. H had said about reducing it. No, he had never been capable of speaking since brought in. No, he hadn’t been wearing his dog tags, but between the blast, and the length of time he’d been burning, he must have stripped everything off. Surely they were back in the rubble of that church. Then they thanked me and told me I could go back to work.
Well, I’d just about had it. I stood up and demanded that if they knew something about my patient that they weren’t telling me and that if they did I could take better care of him, well then they had better tell me. I think I even swore though I didn’t mean to. Maj. P almost laughed and Col. S just gave me that stupid patronizing smile. Told me I was already doing everything that I could, and that they were proud of me. He’s a good man, but I’m getting really sick of this Army “that’s on a need-to-know basis” crap.
Rest of the shift was just the usual. Strange how it's become the norm now. No, there was something else. The burn patient was in his room by himself. They’d moved the other beds out. They didn’t tell me why. Probably because his moan’s getting worse. And raspier. I still don’t think he’s out of the morphine stupor though.
Alright, it’s later the same day, the second. I’ve just woken up and had a serious chat with Kathy, the nurse from the second shift, and she’s had a lot to talk about. Rumors are swirling. I don’t know how much of this is true. My gut instinct? It’s all true.
Those men in the long coats? The rumor is they were Army Intelligence. That didn’t make a lick of sense to me at first, but then it started to come together. It turns out there were supposed to be 30 men, including the C.O., in that church that night it got shelled. Nobody else. Except when they added up all the survivors (who’ve moved on to the front), all the wounded that were taken to our hospital, and those who died, which took a while to count, then it all added up to 31 men. So somebody was there who wasn’t supposed to be there, and nobody knows who it is. They think they’ve got all of the dog tags accounted for, which might have been why they asked me about it when I came in later that night. And the one person they can’t account for seems to be the burn victim.
So they didn’t know who it was. Nobody from the St. A.’s was missing. None of the French Resistance were around that night (apparently Intelligence asked them? How else would they know?). So it's really suspicious and they were worried he might be some kind of spy or infiltrator. They still don’t even know why that church was shelled in the first place.
So they started asking questions of that poor old priest who’s been volunteering. We know because they let the chaplain sit in with him, but it seems both of the intelligence guys spoke fluent French. They asked him if there were any kind of acolyte or initiate or whatever sort of junior clergy he might have could have been there. He said no, and anybody who might have was accounted for and healthy. He asked if there was anything valuable that could have been stolen, or maybe he feared could be looted (would our boys do that?). Well, he didn’t think so. There was the holy font, which was an antique, but there were many like it and it was hardly easy to move. There was the Bible at the altar. It was very old and had great sentimental value, but again it would have no value to thieves. There was the tomb of St. Adalthred himself, which was priceless to his community but was a part of the church itself. Why the church had been built in the first place. Impossible to steal.
Then they asked the priest to come and view the patient. Perhaps seeing his proportions, perhaps it might have helped him recollect a similar person he’d seen lately. I understand why they did it. He, the burn victim, does seem shorter than any soldier I’ve met, skinner too. I wish they hadn’t, though. The chaplain said the priest had cried over seeing all those bloody bandages. There wasn’t a point, because the priest said he didn’t recognize him. The strange thing was, the chaplain had said that the priest's behavior seemed really strange. Like they got the really strong sense that the priest was being cagey, and lying to them. Not that he recognized the figure per se, but that he was thinking of something that he wasn’t telling them. He also insisted on saying a prayer over the burnt figure before he left, and they let him.
When I asked why they’d moved all the other beds in the room, Kathy said a little while after the priest had left the burn victim had started screaming, really bad. The other patients asked if they could leave the room, and because of the mystery, Col. S. agreed to it so they could isolate the burnt man. He was only calmer when I arrived later because they’d given him more morphine. When Kathy told me how much my jaw hit the floor. That part has to be baseless rumor.
August 8- I’m back in England. I’ve been too worked up to write, and worried, of course. After it happened, they put me in a truck, drove me to L. to pick up my things, and then I was on a Skytrain back to Cornwall. I guess we stopped at the cottage as a courtesy, it was on the way to the airfield. I was worried they’d find this diary, but they never searched. I don’t think they know what to do with me. I’m not sure what they should do either. They might just send me home, I suppose. I wouldn’t protest that. I just want to get on with things.
So. That night. The 4th.
I’ll start when I get off the truck. That moment when you hit the ground after jumping out of the bed is so sharp like it just sets your whole day. Like a starter pistol at a race. Something about it seemed off just as I was walking towards the door. Now I get in, and the front gallery, ever since that night of the triage, is a pretty empty place. But somebody was waiting for me, and it was Col. S. He came right up to me the moment he saw me. What an upside-down experience.
He starts leading me down the side hall, towards the back of the hospital/school where his office was. So of course I expected he needed to talk to me about something in his office. Only it turned out it wasn’t his office anymore. I thought something was off when I saw two armed guards on either side of the door to his often. Almost as soon, I heard the screaming.
I have just enough time to puzzle together what’s happened when Col. S walks right in, me in tow. They’d moved the burn patient to Col. S’s office, and he’d cleared out. The reason was obvious. The patient was screaming. Really, really loud. It hurt my ears in such a small office. The office was as about as far removed from the rest of the patients as they could move him. His bandages were soaked through, totally bright red. Jet red? Is jet red a thing? If you saw him, you’d say it was. It looked like they had been in the middle of starting to change his bandages, or just about to finish. Because there were parts of his flesh that were exposed. I didn’t realize it at first, and could only tell because of the texture.
I was just staring at him for a while. Jaw wide open. Then I looked at Col. S. He had been watching my reaction. He had such a sympathetic look. I asked him “How long has he been like this?”
“For hours,” he said. Like he was apologizing.
“How much morphine did you give him?” I asked. He was a doctor in his own right, of course. He didn’t get a chance to perform much surgery now that he’s the administrator, but I don’t think that ever leaves you.
He looked like he was about to cry.
“Lethal?” I asked.
“More,” he whispered.
We stood there silent for a few moments. Then he explained the situation. The only people allowed in the room would be doctors. Myself, and he explained I was the nurse with the most experience with him, and that I was the one he trusted the most. I’d have no other duties this shift. The chaplain was allowed in, and the priest. Also, the two guards out front, and that was it. He told me “The men from intel will be back, and a couple of spooks. We’ll figure it out then.” I had no idea what he meant by that, but I just nodded.
Well, the chaplain was there, though he looked a total mess. And it turned out the priest had stayed late but had gone home, exhausted.
So I did my duties. Changed bandages. Changed IV bottles. There were two chairs in the room, one for me and one for the chaplain. With only the one patient sometimes I’d wait. We couldn’t really chat. The screaming was too loud. I don’t think either of us got used to it.
I suppose it was about 3 AM. Mom used to call that the witching hour. Around three it started to change. The screaming that is, the cadence of it. Is that the right word? He started screaming words. Very garbled, but words. That was when I remembered the doctor had said his vocal cords had been destroyed. Had he been wrong? It had to be. Both I and the chaplain were standing over him then. The chaplain whispering prayers. Sometimes we’d look at each other like maybe the other knew what was happening. There were no answers.
The words started getting clearer. Not that we understood them, but they kind of sounded like they were French. Both I and the chaplain thought he, the patient, was becoming lucid. The chaplain opened up the door and told the guards to get the colonel, also to send somebody to find the priest. I suppose anybody could have translated, or so I thought at the time, but getting the priest sounded right.
Well, the colonel wasn’t in, but Maj. P. was. He spoke a little French, but he couldn’t understand the words. I’m still glad he was there. As a witness. I’m glad me and the chaplain weren’t the only ones. It was like the patient was chanting.
It was, maybe ten minutes after the major arrived. The screaming just stopped. No words. Just heavy breathing. Hyperventilating maybe. It occurred to me then that the bandages had become soaked through again. I’d been there the whole time. Watching. Only now had I noticed. He was glistening. The bedding was bloody too, of course. It was everywhere. And then…
Then it happened.
I had been facing another direction. But there was a sound. Like a massive, loud inhalation of are. There was this bright light, like when a lightbulb is about to short out. Except I felt the heat, and I turned. The patient had burst into flames.
I screamed. I think the chaplain and major did too. The two guards ran in. Maybe they sent somebody else to fetch the priest. They just yelled and weren’t able to do anything else. In a normal circumstance, I think somebody would have fetched an extinguisher. Except the patient suddenly sat straight up in his bed. We were positively paralyzed. He was screaming again, and all we could do is watch. His bandages and bedding all burned away. Only then he stopped.
There was this man before us. He had no skin. No eyes. Glistening red, and patches of black where the ash still clung to him. He looked at us. Looked at me. There were two black holes in his face, above the hole for his nose, and his mouth, lips burned away and teeth missing. But the holes for his eyes… I could feel him looking at me despite having no eyes.
Then he spoke. It was French again, at least I thought. I couldn’t understand it. Full sentences. Raspy, but clear. No sign of pain or duress. Yet it was authoritative like he was in full command of his faculties.
I don’t think it lasted long before the priest came rushing in. The priest said something like “sortie” and then the Major told us to get out, the chaplain and I.
We did and closed the door behind us. The two guards were further down the hall, clearly rattled.
We could hear the priest and the burned man talking. Clearly, through the door. The burned man was distinguishable by the rasp in his voice, the commanding tone. Yet as we listened, there was something off. The burned man’s French was different than the priest’s French. It was like they didn’t understand each other. It was like they were speaking two different dialects, and I didn’t realize until I heard them both being spoken next to each other.
There was a pause of silence. And then the priest started speaking in Latin. I saw a look of relief on the chaplain’s face when the burned man responded, also in Latin.
The two spoke, the burned man and the priest. They went on and on, me not understanding any of it. The burned man seemed to calm, the priest becoming more anxious as they went. Then I turned to the chaplain again. His attention was totally focused on the closed door, but he was listening to the priest and the burned man talk.
He was shaking, and pale as a ghost. I’ve seen men shake. I’ve seen them shake from the effects of blood loss and shock. I’ve seen them shake because they’ve been mad from war. I’ve seen them shake from hypothermia and hypoglycemia and drug overdoses. I’ve seen no end of fear in their eyes. Fear as they’re going under anesthesia, or having their limbs removed, or knowing they’re about to die from their wounds.
I’ve never seen a man so afraid or shaken than that chaplain on that night. And all because he was able to follow that conversation in Latin.
The door suddenly opened. The priest waved us aside, looking more determined than I’d ever seen him. We pressed ourselves against the wall to get out of the way. The burned man followed him. Silent. Walking. We watched them walk down the hallway. The guards turned and fled. Then the priest and the burnt figure turned the corner, and that was the last that I saw of them.
I remember looking back into the room and seeing the Major, slumped in a chair, hands covered his face. The smoke from the burning bandages and bedding still hung in the air, sweet and strong and foul due to the lack of ventilation.
The two men in the long coats showed up. There were also a couple of men in suits. Civilians, I guess. They sort of took charge. Then they just put me on a truck, didn’t even ask me any questions.
And that’s what happened.
I’ve been on this base for a couple of days. They seem to be giving me a lot of freedom, they let me go into town yesterday. I went to a library. It wasn’t a very big one, but I guess it didn’t need to be. I found a hagiography. Or, I guess, a sort of encyclopedia on the subject of saints.
There was a very small entry on the subject of Saint Adalthred. Very little was known about him. He’d been a saint in early medieval France. He’d preached to royalty. The Marrowvingians I think it said, I don’t know what that is. Like all saints, he’d performed three miracles. Like all saints, he’d been martyred. He’d been burned at the stake. His last miracle had been his own resurrection.
I don’t know what to do with this diary. I never should have started it, and yet I think it’s important that I did. I think I’m going to turn myself in and give it to them. I suppose they’ll court-martial me over it, send me home. I don’t want to go home, but maybe I deserve it. At any rate, clearly, there are higher powers than me at work here.
-End copy.-
All of the documentation by the U.S. during the war was massive. All of the officers, nurses, spies, bean counters, and everybody else contributed to the pile. This was long before the digital age, or even microfiche, so the sheer scale of the paperwork is hardly conceivable. It could have been measured by the cargo holds of liberty ships.
After the war, the Army and Navy needed someplace to store it all. Any of it could have had unforeseen value, and destroying it was never an option. In 1951, with the Korean War raging and threatening to exacerbate the document problem, the Department of Defense decided to build a massive new warehouse archive to store it all. In 1956, the Military Personnel Records Center was finished. Ostensibly the archive was meant to store personnel records, but the military being the military, and the warehouse being of such a huge scale, it housed other records as well. Records such as the nurse’s diary, records of things unnatural. Supernatural. Only to be seen by top men.
One of the items discussed during the facility’s construction was the inclusion of a sprinkler fire prevention system. There was a concern that such a system could leak, and cause water damage to all the important documents. So the archive was built without one.
In 1973 the building burned down, taking millions of documents with it. The cause was never officially determined. At the time, and for many years after, the biggest problem was the bureaucratic nightmare it caused for millions of veterans and collecting the benefits they were entitled to.
To a very small community, namely us, the damage was a travesty. That’s the purpose of this project. To retrieve the documentation, study, and catalog it, this entry is only the first example. Naturally, the question arises- how do we retrieve these files if they were all destroyed in the fire? Well, that’s on a need-to-know basis, Lieutenant, and you don’t need to know.

Author's Notes: The War Files is meant to be an on-going series of horror stories set in and around WWII, and the very real Archive Fire. Maybe it would make a good podcast? This was sort of a pilot episode and thought it would fit the theme of this month's event. If you liked the story and want to read more, I'll probably post them either to my subreddit EBDavis or my substack ebdavis.substack.com

2023.06.05 15:30 Temporary-Cricket455 Beneficial to insulate roof of detached garage to lessen the pain of summer heat?

BLUF: ​Would it be beneficial to insulate (foam board?) the garage rafters/roof to help keep the heat out during the summer time? I know this would help in the winter time with keeping heat IN, but the cold doesn't bother me as much as the heat does.
Garage Info: The garage is block walls, normal garage door, wooden slats for sheathing on top of the exposed rafters and a normal 2 layer black/dark grey shingle roof. Walls are framed, but there's no drywall/plywood walls or ceiling anywhere. Two 44in windows opposite each other. 1970's garage.
Location: West-Central Kentucky, right between zone 6 and 7.

I have a detached garage that has a roof line similar to this one. There's no shade around. It stores my car and is also my workshop.
In the summer time it can get a bit hot, especially due to the raised ceiling holding all the heat. It has two windows opposite each other that I keep open with a window fan going to help move some air around.
I just recently was given a window unit AC, which was lovely yesterday during the 92 degree weather we had, but it got me wondering if it would be worth to insulate the roof/rafters, in an effort to limit heat transfer.
Thanks for any and all guidance!

2023.06.05 15:11 SevereDrummer8423 Walkable areas to shop/dine/relax in Cincy

My gf and I like to go up to Cincy from central KY from time to time. We really enjoy walkable, "village" type areas with shops and little nooks and crannies and parks, you get the idea. Akin to Louisville's Bardstown Road.
Are there any areas like that in Cincy? Hyde Park Square seems to fit the bill. Apart from that, I'm pretty unfamiliar with Cincinnati and would love some recommendations. Thanks!

2023.06.05 14:59 xtnh Weird last week?

For two days I left the windows open all night and closed them in the morning to lock the delicious chilly air in to prepare for that horrible 90 degree heat.
Then at two o'clock I opened all the windows to grab as much of the that glorious 90 degree heat as I could to prepare for this weeks horrible 50-degree cold.
Then at seven o'clock I slammed all the windows shut at the temperature dropped fifteen degrees in an hour.
Weird.

2023.06.05 14:56 MrFrode Home Central Air blowing air but it's not cold

Title gives most of the info. I have 2 zones and the main floor is blowing cool air, as expected, however the up stairs while blowing air doesn't seem to be cool air nor is it making a dent in the heat.
Are there easy things I can check before calling out someone to look at it?
Thanks in advance.

2023.06.05 14:48 CitraDoshii Will cat refuse wet food after not having it for a while?

So I feed My cat a mix of wet and dry food but mainly wet food [2 pouch a day and some dry food] He will eat all of his dry food but usually leaves a bit of wet food, which is fine by me. The problem is now that it's getting hot my house is heating up [don't have home air conditioning here] and when he doesn't finish the wet food it dries all up and many flies appear.
I can't clean the bowl right after he's done because I can only feed him right before I leave for work. I'm thinking of just going with dry food for the summer to avoid maggots and him eating potentially dangerous stuff in his food but I'm worried he might refuse to eat wet food again when summer is done.
Has anyone had an experience like this where your cat will not go back to wet food and is there a way to get him to eat it again if it does happen?

Types Of Essential Oil Diffusers

There are several types of essential oil diffusers available on the market, each with its unique features and benefits. The most common types include ultrasonic diffusers, nebulizing diffusers, heat diffusers, and evaporative diffusers. Ultrasonic diffusers use vibrations to disperse a fine mist of essential oil-infused water into the air. Nebulizing diffusers, on the other hand, transform pure essential oils into a fine mist without the need for water or heat. Heat diffusers utilize heat to release the aroma of essential oils, while evaporative diffusers disperse oils through evaporation using a fan or natural airflow. Each type of diffuser has its advantages and limitations, so it’s important to choose the one that suits your preferences and needs.

Benefits Of Using Essential Oil Diffusers

The benefits of using essential oil diffusers extend beyond simply creating a pleasant fragrance in your living spaces.

Some commonly used essential oils, such as lavender and chamomile, have calming properties that can aid in reducing stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Peppermint and eucalyptus oils are known for their invigorating and refreshing effects, which can enhance focus and concentration.

c. Experiment with different scents: Different oils have varying effects, so try a variety to find the scents that resonate with you and provide the desired benefits.
d. Follow safety guidelines: Read the instructions provided with your diffuser and use it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Avoid prolonged exposure to essential oils and ensure proper ventilation in the room.
e. Clean your diffuser regularly: Regularly cleaning your diffuser prevents the buildup of oil residue and ensures optimal performance.

2023.06.05 14:23 Goennjamin Airfryer for 1 person

I want to eat healthier, but I want to keep my food sins (fries, chicken nuggets, etc).
I dont have any idea, what airfryer is best for my needs. I'm 1 person and single. I dont know which functions exist for air fryers, I'm happy if you suggest me some airfryers and/or explayin what special function they could have.
I know its a pretty vague post, but I really dont know anything about them, except I get tasty food without deep frying. And my oven heating coil is broken, so I can't even use my oven as airfrying substitute (and energycost goes brrrr with the oven)
thanks in advance

EDIT: Budget would be under 100€ but if I can get one for 50€ it would be even better. I like quality and only want to buy 1 airfryer in the next 5 years.

Top 5 Things to Consider When Configuring Your Drying Oven
Drying broilers are a typical gear in a wide assortment of ventures and examination research centers. These hardware are utilized for various undertakings cleansing, temperature testing, vanishing, and establishing brooding temperature-touchy conditions. These cycles, notwithstanding, require controlled warming and uniform temperature. You can find industrial drying ovens in various arrangements and plans, for example, group stoves, vertical stoves or rotational stoves, and so on.
Anyway, what sort of stove do you decide for your interaction? This post will help you pick and design your drying stove, the most appropriate to your requirements.

  • Cement Restoring
  • Item Drying
Moreover, you should think about the climate, where the stove will be utilized. On the off chance that you are involving it in a research center, you can select a little broiler, which has a capacity to deliver test results.
Technique for Warming: Likewise with most modern warming broilers, the drying stoves are additionally planned use infrared warming or convection-style warming or a blend of both - for drying an item.
An infrared warmer dries the item utilizing an emanating heat, while convection radiator warms the item utilizing a hot air.
Convection broilers are intended to keep up with homogenous intensity dispersion, as well as even wind stream in the inward chamber. These stoves are appropriate for complex-molded items, because of their capacity of uniform warming.
Infrared warming broilers are intended to give heat in determined sums to a specific point. Essentially, these stoves are intended to give view warming, and that implies they convey intensity to the item surface in direct view.

2023.06.05 13:55 CheezeCrostata My Arena playthrough part 16 - Dagoth Ur

Part 15 was here.
As Arnold used to say:
I'm Bach!
Ok, I'm not Arnie, nor am I Bach, but I am back (sort of).
When we last left off, Azarnus had just arrived to the lost Dwemer mine below Red Mountain. His goal: the final piece of the Staff of Chaos. As John Constantine said of the Hell's Bible:
It is kept at the highest point in the lowest pit.
Venturing in, the first floor of Dagoth Ur did not impress: grey walls, grey floors, and grey ceilings, inhabited by grey stone golems. Whoopie. The place seemed to be carved out of old cooled lava and soot. A few steps past the entryway and I found a prison-like area, with several cells surrounded by a moat of lava. Inside were some creatures and some treasure piles. Going past I've had to cross seemingly endless corridors, occasionally interrupted by ditches, and pools of even more lava. The denizens of this place: stone golems, homunculi, hell hounds, medusas, and wraiths, were a nuisance, but no match for moi. In this dreaded place I met an Ash Vampire, and had to wrestle them for a mythril key. Or at least that's what I was supposed to do, seeing as how you can bypass the mythril door using Passwall. To be honest, I beat the first level so long ago, I forgot all about it. Still, the tomb was a nice touch, and the locked door was just a reach away from it.
The second floor. This place was dark and hot. There's gold glinting in the walls (or so the flavour text told me), seemingly heated up by a great fire below. Proceeding through the corridors I was met with a door, demanding a jeweled key. And you know what this means: key hunt.
What was a nice change of pace: I found the key almost immediately, then another one, then several more. Ok, so there are more locked doors, but who's counting? I've got all the keys! It's like hunting for mushrooms, I swear! This floor had quite a few interesting areas, whoever planned it was quite the architect, eh? A tonal architect, amirite? He-he-he. But I got overconfident. Having collected all the keys I could find, I went back to the door. It flung open. Then the next, then the next. No door stood in my way, and all opened at the might of my key-chain!... All, but one: the diamond door. Having suffered a micro nervous breakdown, I rushed back into the green hell corridors, in search of the last key, scouring the place desperately!
(Editor's note) Eventually I stopped playing. The answer came to me a few days before now. I was watching a video on Skygerfall and got the itch to play Daggerfall (because screw Skyrim). But I've promised myself that I will first beat Arena, and so decided to finish what Vader I've started. For this I launched the game on the PC - because it's just more comfortable this way - and started looking.
Somehow I've figured out that I needed to dive into a ditch, and came out right in the room where the final key lay. The bad news was that it's guarded by a lich. I had already mentioned how I "love" these guys, in my previous post, or maybe the one before that. And you can bet your garters (actually, I'd rather you don't) that I'm going to complain about them in my next entry, just you wait! Well, this one pwnd me.
Dejected I shut the game down until today, when I've decided that enough was enough. This time I ran the game on the mobile, because I don't know what files to transfer, so the automap on the PC was blank. But now that I've had the power of the automap in the literal palm of my hand, I confidently directed Azarnus towards the diamond key. (End Editor's note)
The battle was fierce, but the lich was finally defeated. With the diamond key in hand I've made my way to the door that had previously mocked me so with it's unassailability (these doors could not be bypassed with Passwall, sadly). Unlocking it, I was greeted by two Tharn's Witnesses in the form of stone golems, but having politely introduced them to Ebony Blade, I was able to continue onward with nary a donation.
The third floor welcomed me with a breath of it's sulphurous air. The place felt even hotter, but faint light was coming from a distance. As I proceeded through the single, yet somewhat winded corridor I was met by a continuous sequence of scares: two homunculi, followed by two stone golems, followed by another two homunculi around the corner, and two wraiths. Finally I had reached the end of the corridor, discovering a large room filled with boiling lava that would occasionally pop into splashes. Here I fought two more ghosts, and a whole slew of fire daemons, homunculi, and even a couple more liches (technically I only found one and it killed me, so I just avoided it on my next try, but I'm pretty sure there's at least one more on the opposite side of the room). At the center of the lava lake was a structure. I reached it by levitating. Scaling the structure I saw the final staff piece: a clawed hand holding a crystal orb. But there was a catch - literally - it was held on a pedestal in the middle of a pit in the centre of the structure. Jumping in to get it, I quickly realized that I was now trapped, as a riddle resounded in my head, informing me of my doom, unless I solved it.
(Editor's note:) I hate riddles, so after trying several options, I went online to find the answer. There, you happy now? (End Editor's note)
Getting out I've decided not to bother with the monsters, so I activated the Ring of Khajiit and made my way for the exit.
Having reassembled the Staff, my ultimate goal was now at hand: defeat Jagar Tharn and free the Emperor. Arriving at the Imperial City around midnight, I began looking for the nearest inn. In the meantime, Tharn contacted me via telepathic video call, boasting of his smarts for turning the mighty Staff of Chaos into a butter churner, or an oar. How? Simply by draining it's power, which is apparently how he managed to split it into pieces, in the first place. After the transmission ended, he immediately teleported a couple of his minions. And you know what they were? Rogues. Rogues! After all the undead and daedra I've had to mow down, the mighty Boosh Tharn sends two lousy Rogues against me?!? Pah-lease!
Anyway, after dispatching them, I found an inn, got a couple of drinks, and went to bed. In the morning I investigated my loot, sold my crap, fixed Ebony Blade, and made my way to the Imperial Palace.
The end of my journey is near.
Part 17 will be [here], hopefully soon.

2023.06.05 13:38 travian_90 How to use Apple Watch in summer?

Hi guys!
I‘m using my Apple Watch Series 8 45mm Midnight since February and so far i really enjoy the watch. So I‘m pretty new in the watch world and I‘m wondering the following: How do you guys use your watch during summer?
I have noticed that the Watch gets quite warm/hot on sunny days. I am often outside with my dogs in the sun and when the sun shines on the watch at higher temperatures, it warms up significantly. The color midnight unfortunately reinforces this. Since heat is extremely damaging to the battery I was wondering how you guys handle this? Do you put on your watch anyway or do you leave it at home? Am grateful for your opinion and tips!
Also: Do you wear your watch while swinning in chlorine water for example in the open air bath? How about sea (salt water)? I heard that the aluminum model isn‘t very suitable for this.
Thank you guys and have a nice day!
