Bought a nikon coolpix digicam from a second hand market for $50 and after 1 month of minimal use it started showing pink lines on all the photos it took.

The photos also had wierd blurs if I pointed it towards light. I looked online and it was maybe a CCD issue.

Now I went back to the guy I got it from and he took me to a nearby repair guy who at first said the same, that it's a CCD issue.

However he just called me to tell that it's a motherboard issue and not a CCD problem and it'll be $40 to fix it instead of the $15 he quoted earlier.

The camera is working fine, all screens are working, all buttons are fine, only the photos have a pink strip on them.

I have a strong feeling this guy is trying to scam me, should I take my camera back without getting it repaired and look at another shop ?

Please help me out.

Designed and developed a website for a web3 client, they have cleared all invoices, only 1 authentication page remained for which they wanted some time to get back.

It's been 2 months and nobody got back, I have followed up via email and the company's discord server (where the last activity was 4 months ago) but nobody has replied to me.

Now I am sitting with a fully functional website which idk what to do with. This has never happened before. Should I worry or move on with my life ?

Dated the kindest woman I've ever known on and off for 4 months. Stayed as good friends for the last 1 month and been flirting again since last week but here's why something feels odd.

Our relationship was very...turbulent with misunderstandings being a daily issue which caused me to call quits in the first place.

During the relationship, I was extremely poor. My work tanked, lost a job after starting for a week and I hardly earned anything and was overall frustrated in life due to it. She lost a lot of her invested money too and couldn't get interviews.

During the 1 month that we were off, I started a new venture and got some great clients and restarted making money easily, she got selected in an MNC too.

2 days back (while we restarted flirting) I slipped off my building's staircase and currently have 5+ wounds. A big client I signed called our deal off today itself and I'm back to poverty wages again.

I am feeling very weird about this but I think there is a clear pattern. We both might be ruining each other's life.

Please tell me I'm just being paranoid and oddly misogynistic and this was all just a coincidence because I can't shake this feeling off.

Bengal was the biggest leftist state of India but sadly it's gone now. I don't think BJP is leaving this state for the next 20 years atleast.

But what will happen to secular policies at center ? Bengal has almost always opposed religious fascist laws but from now on they'll be in support.

What happens to policy making now ? even TN is done and I don't think VJna has balls to stand against BJP.
