Am I worse than I thought? Trouble with M6/Bein commentary

I thought I was at a solid B1/ early B2 level based on mock tests (TCF, Kwiziq, TV5 monde), I can understand educational and informative videos on YouTube for the most part and can understand most of the innerfrench podcast now, but I started watching the World Cup on Bein/M6 and have really been struggling with it, like maybe I can understand 60% of it if I really pay attention and I can make out the word boundaries but I have trouble understanding it (as opposed to just comprehending the words being said)

(Originally wrote this post in French but Reddit did some shenanigans and deleted it)

Do I need to finish the game before playing Valhalla?

I played the game at release initially on the ps5 in 2022, beat this games sigrun and the king guy and everything and then put it away. Recently got the game on pc again and was wondering if I need to get endgame gear or what have you to play Valhalla? (I never finished all the musulheim challenges)

Game crashes whenever DLSS is enabled (or disabled when it has already been enabled)

The game crashes whenever I try to enable dlss from the main menu, or if I enable it before starting the game, it does so when I try to disable it. Capping frames at 60 fps, disabling FG etc. Doesn’t help

5090, 32 gb vram, 9800x3d.

I see the 153 events in my event viewer as well

C’est quoi, un banlieue?

Ma langue maternelle est l’anglais et j’ai entendu bien que banlieue est traduit comme « Suburbs », mais en parcourant Twitter, j’ai tombé à plusieurs posts qui disent que cette traduction est fausse/mauvaise.

context: l’enfance de Kylian Mbappe, ainsi qu’il a grandi en banlieue.

How to break into game dev in Canada?

Rn I have a job that I’ve been at for almost 2 years mostly working with typescript, node, react and some Terraform/Golang but I wanna do some game dev. It’s still early days for me and I’m 25 so I reckon I can take a more stressful/harder job compared to this one but every game dev job requires game dev experience which I do not have. Any suggestions?

Can German roaches be green? (south west Ontario)

Saw this thing after entering my appartement. My building has had a German roach problem and went through a seclira wsg treatment 2.5 weeks ago, and another a week later (for just my apt.) and I haven’t seen like any roaches in weeks in my apt.

I did see a tiny nymph outside the trash room somewhat further away from my apt. And an egg case + few dead roaches there but none in my place until this guy rn.

Could he have molted recently??

No access to internet on my Iphone 15 pro even with 5 bars

This has been happening since yesterday but even before that there were times when this was rather common. I could have 5 bars and would have no internet at all, I tried turning 5G on and off, tried LTE, same story. It would just randomly drop signal, mostly when i start playing youtube and then it wouldn't come back on until i reset my network settings or restart my Iphone

4th house cricket in 2 days, what could be happening?

Idk why or how this is happening but I’ve found these house crickets roaming around my house. You can see my previous posts on this subreddit. I had alpine/seclira treatment yesterday (allegedly) for roaches (because there were roaches in the building) and it’s really making me anxious. Is there a nest here? Is there a leak somewhere?? I’m on the 6th floor, south west Ontario.

Did I get duped by pest control?

Long story short, there has been evidence of roaches in my building and in my unit so pest control came to treat half the building today. I came back 6 hours after they finished treatment, and I smell nothing, I see nothing either. They said they use seclira wsg which I think is the Canadian version of alpine. Did they not treat my unit?

3 Average humans living in Hamilton, Ontario. One with a German roach infestation, One with bedbugs and one with mold. Who loses their will to live first?

The invaders are misery-lusted

Humans have access to pest control. Assume that they are all male/female/NB in their mid 20s and are neither rich nor poor, doing ok financially.

No roommates

R1. Cooperative landlord

R2. Uncooperative landlord

Bonus round: They are the home owner

Is this a German roach?

I sprayed it and kept spraying it with isopropyl alcohol until it died

u/tlouman — 1 month ago

My landlord just sent an email about a cockroach treatment saying it is preventative, I just saw one the moment I got back from work, do we have an infestation?

As the title says, I was at work when i saw the email. I asked to clarify and she said there is no infestation and its just preventative, and I thought good enough because I hadn't seen a single pest since I moved in. But as fate would have it, I saw a thin small roach (like 2 cm) in my trash the moment i walked in, I hadnt seen one until now (I moved in more than half a year ago). Do I have an infestation? Will the cockroach spray and gel fix it?

What is my program missing (as a lifter with around 4.5 years of experience)

Rate my Split as someone coming close to 5 years of lifting in November and feeling pretty shit about my progress

So for the background, I am a 25 y/o male, 165 cm, 150 lbs

Around 22-25% BF, trying to lose that after depression eating for maybe more than a year after under-eating and getting barely 60-70g of protein for like the first 2.5 years of training, as i started at like 115 pounds and couldn't even bench the bar.

For the longest time I used follow the popular PPL split here on reddit but after a while it just became really boring and tiring to spend that much time in the gym plus I didn't feel like I was making the linear progress like it was talking about (partially because I was undereating I reckon). I find this split much more fun and I feel like I can actually put on more weight week by week if I am hitting my protein goals.

**Monday (Back)**:

2 sets of Deadlifts till failure (Pronated grip)

2x8 (Un-assisted) , 1x10+ AMRAP drop set (assisted, 50 lbs) - Pull Ups

4x15-20 - Cable Face Pulls SS 4x15-20 - Lateral Raises

Farmer walks

**Tuesday (Chest):**

2x5(or 6), 1 Drop set - Flat Barbell Bench Press

3x8-12 - Machine Flys

3x8-12 - Incline Dumbell Press

3x8-12 - Weighted Wide Grip dips

Cardio (Running) - 10 minutes (Just getting into it, want to increase the time and pace as I get better)

**Wednesday (Arms):**

3x8-12 - Weighted Narrow/Close grip dips

3x8-12 - Preacher curls (Machine)

3x8-12 - Single handed overhead dumbell tricep extensions SS 3x8-12 Hammer curls

2 AMRAP - Chin ups (Supinated grip)

Running - 10 minutes

**Thursday (Shoulders):**

3x8-12 - Dumbell Shoulder press SS 3x15-20 - Later Raises

4x15-20 - Face pulls SS 4x15-20 - Lateral Raises

Running - 10 minutes

**Friday (Legs):**

(I hate leg day, its kinda boring)

3x5+ - Barbell Squats

3x8-12 - Seated Leg Curls

Running - 10 minutes

I like playing some sports on the weekends, mainly rock climbing and (recently) soccer. I feel like this schedule takes up less of my week, especially now that I am not in uni anymore.

1RM for every lift:

Bench: 185 lbs

Deadlift: 250 lbs (Pronated grip), Higher with a mixed grip but I have never attempted a 1RM with a mixed grip, I do know that my grip fails me for my deadlift most of the time which is why I am trying to be strict with a pronated grip

Squat: 195 lbs

What am I missing? Should I add more volume/move it around from one excercise to another? Any feedback would be appreciated

It’s a 5090, whenever I use the scroll wheel or launch a game I start getting this noise. Is it a dead or faulty unit? Never had this before

So some background,

Male, 25, 154 pounds, 5’5, Yesterday was arm day

I work out regularly but for the past 2-3 weeks I’ve been on a strong deficit, started doing cardio as well. Today after waking up (8 am est, it’s 10 am now) my left tricep just started twitching for no reason, and I’ve had these before but they stop after a bit but this one hasn’t stopped. I had the same twitching in the same arm for like 30 minutes this past Saturday (Thursday rn) as well while I was just sitting and playing video games, and that was like 3 days after arm day, so idk what could be happening here. Obviously I’m worried about the big three letter disease but I also struggle from health anxiety.
