Russian, Arabic, Mandarin, or Hindi ?

So, I'm already learning Spanish (live in Texas, it'll be very handy) but I'd like to learn another one alongside it that's not a Germanic/romance language

Each of these languages have their pros and cons to me but I find myself going back and forth over which one to choose

Mandarin and Hindi both have insanely large populations that speak it but the cultures are both interesting

Russian would be interesting to know considering my genealogical roots

And Arabic speaking cultures are interesting and the script is the prettiest

Maybe one that's not as common of a second language in the US so it might help with job searches in the future/able to help groups that need more translators

Is there a place to watch everything in order ?

So, I've been an on and off watcher but it's hard to get back into when I've been away for awhile and have ZERO idea what I've missed

I'd like to "start over" from the beginning

I know some internet series like The Jackson's and Muscles McQuack have playlists on YT or even compilations of episodes in order

I haven't been able to find something similar for Bistro Huddy

Am I just missing it or do I just have to scroll ALL the way back ?

Anyone got any good FMCs who are kinda losers rather than just poor ? Bonus points if the MMC is "cool" in some way

My depression has been acting up so I've been craving an FMC who's a relatable loser but a lot of the FMCs I usually read lately seem like the same girl with a "unique" backstory (typically just trauma in some way) and special interest to make her different from the other FMCs ?

Give me someone with severe depression or who sucks at everything she tries

And I'd like if the MMC was still cool/famous/super smart/etc. and didn't just fix FMCs problems by being rich and able to buy her a new life

I'd prefer books without other woman or cheating, I immediately DNF when that happens

[recommendations] A bikini/tankini top that isn't just a sports bra fit with different marketing ?

Loose underbust: 104 cm

Snug underbust: 100 cm

Tight underbust: 90 cm

Standing bust: 124 cm

Leaning bust: 129 cm

Lying bust: 124 cm

My fav bra atm is my Delimira 38H and I have wide set breasts

So, I'm in need of a new swimsuit and thought I'd get one that ACTUALLY fits instead of just board shorts and a sports bra

However, I'm having trouble figuring out how the sizes work since they all seem to have t-shirt style sizing, which leads me to believe they'll fit similarly to a sports bra

I'd ideally like a secure bikini top or tankini top

Trying to access a krita file from my computer on my tablet ?

So, I have a couple pictures I started in krita on my (windows) computer that I'd like to work on on my tablet instead. I have krita on my Samsung tablet (s6 I believe ?) and it works fine normally.

However, I downloaded my krita file from my cloud but when I try to open it in krita on my tablet it says it's not a valid/authentic krita file and refuses to open it ?

I'm unsure what to do, what I did wrong, or if this is something I just can't do ?

What mix ratio of henna/cassia/indigo should I use to achieve either of these shades ?

I know I can't lighten my hair with henna, but right now my hair is kind of light brown so I feel I could achieve close enough results with either to be satisfied. I was thinking of buying some through Henna Sooq to mix up myself and tweak later if needed

[recommendations]Bra recommendations ? I think I'm almost there

​

Loose underbust: 104 cm

Snug underbust: 100 cm

Tight underbust: 90 cm

Standing bust: 124 cm

Leaning bust: 129 cm

Lying bust: 124 cm

I used to wear a 38DD, did my measurements, got 38H, so I decided to try that

I ended up with a Panache Envy in 38H and a Delimira bra in 38G

The panache cups were okay, but it was very snug ? The gore kept pushing into me painfully to the point I needed to put a rolled up rag between that. And my chest

The delimira fit very comfortably to the point I'm considering getting another one, my main complaint would be the wires poking my armpits ? So I was thinking trying the same bra the next cup size up and seeing how that works ?

Does anyone have any recommendations for other bras to try ?

I'd prefer no padding in the cups, but would like some recommendations for both wired, non wired, and just some comfy bras I can wear as my breasts like to try and sneak into my pits all the time and sports bras don't cut it anymore

Is anyone else "haunted" by the speaker music ?

So, oftentimes I'll find when I get off from a longer shift (8 hours vs 4), the music "follows" me home

Especially when I'm in the shower or a room with a fan (the white noise I guess?) and I can SWEAR I hear the errant beep of the registers or some faint (not very loud) music "playing" from somewhere or even one of those interspersed corporate ads in between songs (you know, the ones like "Here at XYZ, We strive to make our customers feel like family" type things, but like the tone and cadence rather than any discernable words ?)

Does anyone else seem to experience this ?

Any advice for how to "wash" my mind of it so I'm not feeling slightly paranoid that I've just passed out at work and all this "background noise" is just me hearing my surroundings while unconscious??

Subtitles not getting recognized?

So, I've had my jellyfin for a few months, had some issues here and there but I got over most of them

On some of my shows and movies I have subtitles, and they've typically worked when I watch stuff

However, I recently added another movie but this particular movies subtitles don't seem to be recognized by jellyfin ? When I go into "options" on the main page it shows they're there. But when I'm actually IN and watching the film it shows no subtitles available. I haven't had this issue any other time I've added them so I'm unsure what to do

The only thing I could think to do was ensure the document titles are EXACTLY the same ?

Both content has an MP4 file for the main video content and and SRT for the subs

Where to get small clip in extensions ?

Is there a place I can get just the small/skinnier hair extensions

I know they usually come in "sheets" of varying widths in the packs I usually see

But I was wondering if there was any place that theoretically just sold the skinnier 1 inch-ish ones if I just wanted to get a couple of those ?

I've been trying to look it up but I'm having a hard time finding anything but packs of extensions

I'd like human hair, and just those single clip wefts

Chinese magazines online ?

Does anyone know where to find Chinese magazines online ? I know (at least in the US) magazines have fallen out of popularity but some still print and some have moved to online issues.

I'm learning mandarin and want to have more materials to learn from, and figured magazines might come in handy as I enjoy those

The main ones I'd be looking for would probably be:

Gardening

Interior design/decor

Food/kitchen

Anime/manga

Science (but like geology/astronomy/marine biology/etc. Rather than tech and medical types of science)

History ones would be cool, or just something akin to national geographic ?

Maybe something like highlights or a couple children's magazines since they're also learning the language too so the wording will probably be simpler ?

Disharmonious lines over main lines ? How does this change them ?

So I was looking at my astro chart and had a question

​

I'm still learning about all the lines and aspects and all that, but was wondering what it meant for an area when there were main lines AND disharmonious lines ?

​

For example:

​

Over one area on my map I have my main Venus and Mercury IC lines, but crossing over them are disharmonious Venus and Mercury AC squared with AS. I was curious as to how the squares crossing over it changes the affects ?

​

Another example of some lines with disharmonious crossings are my Venus and Mercury MC lines are being crossed by disharmonious Sun and Uranus AC lines that are also squared with my AS ?

WWTBC A woman moves into a house and there's a few ghosts haunting it ? One of them wants to make her jealous ?

So I vaguely remember this book and I think it's a romance book ? So hopefully this is the right sub but if someone remembers it and it's not, my bad

​

I remember the cover was pink with a y2k ish(?) lady in a bath, I read it probably 15-20 years ago ?

​

The main book aspects I remember was the FMC just moved into a house, I believe it was inherited ? Turns out there's ghosts. I remember one ghost wanting to make her jealous so he slept with another ghost in front of her ?

​

And I remember another ghost on the property (in a shed?) had an axe

​

Sorry if this is too vague

Where to watch Chinese TV that's not just dramas ?

So, I'd like to watch "normal" TV that's from China to hear and see day to day speech and terms used, but a lot of the places I see where shows are recommended or shown typically revolve around just dramas/soap opera/telenovela/etc. types of shows, esp historical ones (which I do enjoy, don't get me wrong)

​

And by normal, since I know that's relative, I'm looking for things like reality baking/cooking shows, or other reality shows I'm not picky lol, maybe some documentaries or something similar to a PBS style lineup I guess ??

Where to watch Ugly Wu Di (Chinese Betty la Fea/Ugly Betty) ?

So, I wanted to watch Ugly Wu Di, I found a translation of it on YT but it seems that there might be sound cut from it ? The only audio appears to be dialogue, no background music during opening/transitioning scenes, and no foley noise (like shoe sounds when walking or noises when something is hit/pressed)

​

It's a bit distracting to have it be so quiet compared to other shows in general

​

Is it originally this quiet ? I kind of assume it had audio cut for copyright reasons (like music licensing), but if it's just like that I'll try and power through it

​

I'd just like a regular version if available :)

[recommendations] [38D/DD to 38H/HH] Took some measurements, looking to find some everyday bras to help with tissue migration ?

So I've always worn illfitting bras, I guess ? Currently I wear a 38DD pushup, and have been wearing 30D/DD in general for awhile, and I have a HUGE issue with tissue migration due to this (I believe)

​

​

So I took my measurements in cm

​

Loose underbust: 104 cm

​

Snug underbust: 100 cm

​

Tight underbust: 90 cm

​

Standing bust: 124 cm

​

Leaning bust: 129 cm

​

Lying bust: 124 cm

​

​

​

I had issues taking the bust measurements due to the tissue migration making the "widest part" a bit hard to gauge

​

​

​

I'd preferably like bras I can wear every day that provide support

​

​

I'm unsure if wired is best or not, but know I'd like to steer clear from push ups and padded bras, maybe ideally something that's just the fabric in the boob pocket part of the bra ? I think I need something a bit deeper than bras typically are for that to hold all the boob ?

Why don't some websites allow you to back out ?

So quite a few times I've searched something up on Google or DDG and clicked a link, but it won't always let me back out back to the search results and will instead just refresh the page

And it's not always unknown sites that do this, even something like WebMD has done it

Is it something with their coding ? A glitch ?

Any recommendations similar to Mr. Queen ?

So I'm about halfway through Mr. Queen and I'm loving it

I like how it's got a good chunk of humor mixed in, I enjoy how the MC STILL gets to use their pre-time travel knowledge rather than just forgetting about it, and the story is really interesting all around

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for similar shows I can check out when I'm done ?

I'd prefer something Chinese if possible, as I'm trying to learn mandarin, but that's not a strict request cause a good show is a good show regardless lol
