Dr jumper cardiologist phone number

My laptop broke around 2 weeks before I bought a new one, I downloaded some virus that completely wrecked my computer. It was a pretty good gaming laptop, and I make a fortune off posting Youtube videos of me playing games.
I have around 6,000 subscribers, and one of my subscribers recently had asked me if I could help him out with something. Along with being an active content creator on Youtube, I test games on the side.
And yes, this seems stupid, but my naïve and terribly trusting self downloaded a game a subscriber wanted me to test.
It appeared relatively normal to me, the graphics were great and it was overall an interesting and well-made game.And unsurprisingly, seeing as this was a dedicated subscriber, I was even a character model inside of it. It was pretty spot on, which was to my enjoyment.
However, this game was a total lie. Despite it's extremely solid gameplay, it was laced with viruses creeping inside of my computer. Which, didn't really take action until I left my computer to go to my grandma's house for my cousin's birthday. And well, when I came back hours later, it was totally destroyed.
But enough about my gullibility. My main concern is the new laptop I bought off EBay. It had a relatively affordable price, for someone who had enough money to call it affordable, atleast. And fortunately for me, I was one of those people. So, of course, I was the only one to even try to buy it. In the end, I'm now stuck with a computer that has some really odd app.
Match Sim
At first, I just assumed, hey, this was probably used before. I mean, the fact that it was the only app on there was a bit alarming. It was smack down in the middle of the default home screen with the Windows icon in the back.
Aforementioned, I am a total idiot. I decided to open it up, to be met with a black screen with red text that was so decorated I couldn't read it. So overall, creepy, but kind of "ooh im trying to scare you so bad" creepypasta scary.
It was probably a prank from the previous owner, so I pressed the big red button that said, 'BEGIN'. And so, the computer then turned off.
I booted the computer back up, and the app was still there. I dragged it to the trash bin, to no avail. And when I say I tried everything, I mean I tried everything to get rid of it. I ended up contacting the seller, who in response, deleted his account. Great.
As I sat in my chair, completely frustrated, the application opened up by itself. The starting screen didn't appear, it launched straight into the game. Which, kind of appeared to look like some 2000s dating site.
The site was a total contrast to the start screen. Pink, white, sparkly, had a girl in a blue bikini and a dude shirtless. A prompt appeared on my screen, asking me to type a nickname and a password.
"Nicholas" and "NJY7768" were my answers to those two questions. Then, 3 languages popped up for me to choose from. I, a total social reject who failed my Spanish classes, of course chose English.
It only took a minute for me to get my first message, from a girl named "Frieda".
"Heyy, just saw u were new on here. Haven't seen anyone in quite a bit xx" Frieda had sent, and it was getting hard to tell if this was a geniune dating site or a realistic dating sim.
"Lol are u gonna stare at my message all day 😂" Frieda was persistent, it had only been about 30 seconds and she was typing again.
"Hey sorry, what's up?" I responded, Frieda sure had a fast reaction time. The second I sent that, the bubble that indicated she was typing popped up again.
"Nothing much just a bit bored, haven't seen anyone in quite a bit. Hbu" Repetitive too, I guess.
"Well, there's a lot more dating sites you can go on. Why do you stay on here all the time?" Maybe that ticked her off, because it took her quite awhile to respond this time.
"How was your day xx" She replied after about a minute, which made me more suspicious of her not even being a real person.
Despite this, I continued messaging her for the rest of the day. It was entertaining, I couldn't lie. Frieda was a nice girl with an enchanting charm.
Days passed, I couldn't stop speaking to Frieda. I wouldn't leave my room, I went on hiatus on Youtube. Soon enough, Frieda asked me if we could video call. This was, well obviously, shocking. Frieda couldn't be real, but something in me wanted her to be real. When I said yes, I was unsuprised to see her type a phone number into the chat. I had no hope that it was a real number, but I called it anyways.
"Hello?" A soft-spoken voice answered, my eyes widened in fear and excitement.
"Frieda, it's me, Nicholas." I responded, and a thrilled gasp rung in my ear.
"Nicholas, you're real!" She screeched, almost making me drop my phone. She initiated a video call, and she was breathtaking.
We talked for hours, about our suspicions about eachother, about our families and friends, we spoke and bonded until our throats were sore.
In the morning, Frieda requested to meet. And with intoxicated delight, I quickly tapped back a "yes".
We met in the afternoon, Frieda's rose-scented perfume stained my nostrils. She was beautiful, a goddess. Frieda hugged me, and we talked eachothers heads off. As the afternoon turned to the night, we walked down empty streets.
Which was weird, we were in a city. Why would the streets be empty, especially at night? I grabbed her hand, squeezing it tight.
"You haven't noticed yet, have you, Nick?" She sighed, stopping in her tracks. I looked over at her, furrowing my eyebrows.
"Nicholas, this isn't your world. It's mine. You believed in me, and that's what cursed you."
I stepped back for a moment, confusion tinting my face. "Huh?"
"You fell for it, Nicholas. I did too, but I don't have to suffer anymore. I don't have to wait for eternity for someone to start up that computer once more. The cycle will repeat for decades and centuries to come."
I didn't understand, nothing she talked about made sense. I looked around, taking it all in. The pixelated edges of the skyscraper, the hum of the computer rung throughout.
And more importantly, Frieda Deanelle, a missing girl from 2010. A girl who had vanished into seemingly thin air. That's what I was going to become, Frieda would get away, but I wouldn't.
"You manifested me back into your reality, and I thank you for that. But in that place, it will be your spot I will take. Thank you, Nicholas, truly."
Would I stay in here for years like Frieda? Would I have to trick someone into falling in love with me, just like Frieda did? What will become of me?
Frieda vanished, and I was left alone.
She tricked me. Frieda tricked me. The woman I thought I loved, tricked me into bringing her back to life.
And now I will have to do the same.

Me (19f) and my ex (20f), let's call her L, had been dating for about a year and a half. We'd been best friends beforehand as well and we were super close. As a little background info, I struggle with a major anxiety disorder and tend to let things get under my skin easily and deal with a lot of pattern recognition when talking to people. This is more of a catharsis post, and I'll make a TL;DR at the end :).
Everything was well at first, but within a few months she asked me about considering an open relationship, saying that she felt like she couldn't provide what I "needed" as we were long distance (About an hour drive both ways). I have never been comfortable with being in an open or polygamous relationship and declined. That's when I started getting suspicious. It's also important that I note that she would never let me use her phone, even in emergency situations.
Things started ramping up about 6 months into our relationship when she began to talk about how she wanted to stop using the label "girlfriends", and how she told people that asked her out that she was in a "somewhat serious monogamous relationship" instead of saying she had a girlfriend. She also constantly talked about how she wished things were like before our relationship. Hindsight always being 20/20, I should have left the relationship then but she had previously talked about how negatively it affected her life at one point where I broke contact with her after a serious argument before we began dating, so I felt pressured to stay.
The real serious issues began around our one year mark. At one point, she bragged to me about how she had kissed a friend in front of their father to make him mad, and I immediately expressed that it was not okay with me as I mentioned in previous boundary talks that I prefer those things to be exclusive. After that, she began treating me worse and worse. She would disappear for hours at a time and send very vague and short texts when I asked what she was up to, and tell me that she was out with friends who I didn't even know existed until after she returned home. On a few occasions, she would scream and berate me or make me feel bad about a game choice while we played video games together, or she would call me and go on violent rants about her issues and threaten other people, then tell me it was because she was stressed about things.
A few months after our one year mark, I attempted to break up with her. I told her that I no longer felt safe in the relationship because her verbal attacks and ranting were beginning to scare me, but she begged me to stay and that she would promise to get better. I ended up staying because she said that she needed me, and that I was a huge positive influence in her life. She also promised that we would get married and start building a life together.
A few months after that is when she broke up with me out of the blue. I was blindsided at first, and distraught for weeks after. I contemplated rebounding immediately to get back at her, creating profiles on dating apps, but I was not ready and deleted them almost immediately. However, just days after the breakup she told a mutual friend that she had begun seeing someone new. This began to make me realize that there had been someone else already. Things began adding up, her not letting me use her phone, the open relationship requests, the mysterious friends, the negative behavior.
I've begun to heal, seeing a therapist, learning to stick up for myself, but it's not me that I'm worried about. She's seeing someone else, and I am afraid for them. I don't know who they are, but I am afraid that they will be treated the same way with the manipulation, the verbal abuse, and the threats. I am worried that they'll go through the same thing I did, or even worse.
TL;DR - Ex became abusive towards me before breaking up, I'm worried that their new partner will face the same.

CHANEL BUYER BEWARE! CHANEL CORPORATE AND CHANEL BOUTIQUE IN THE AVALON, ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA…HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! LUXURY BRAND, but CHANEL USA CORPORATE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLASS!
I have called the CHANEL USA CORPORATE number so many times since early March. I’ve talked to numerous customer service representatives who work from home and are essentially message takers and don’t have a direct line to “Corporate”. I’ve been placed on hold, unexpectedly disconnected, told I would be contacted but not, told a message was left on my phone but wasn’t, hours and hours I have spent dealing with CHANEL USA.
This has been going on for months…
On January 31, 2023, I used a gift card and credit card to purchase a pair of Chanel sunglasses, with a Chanel necklace, and card holder which cost over $1600 at the Chanel boutique in The Avalon in Alpharetta, Georgia.
Chanel has a 14-day return policy so I had until February 14th to return items. My son was hospitalized for 6 days during this time and when he was discharged and life was back to normal, it was February 15th. I was 1 day late. I called the Chanel Boutique and spoke to the district manager. I explained the reason I was 1 day late returning the items due to my child being hospitalized. The district manager at the store told me I could return the purchase the following day but when we attempt to make the return the next day, we didn’t have the credit card used at the time of purchase. (Go figure, Chanel, a luxury brand, doesn’t have a system that automatically credits your original form of payment.🤯) We tried returning the items the following day, but the manager would not allow the return.🤯
I have contacted the Chanel Corporate office at (800) 550-0005 many, many times and have spoken to countless representatives, all of which work from home! Finally after calling and calling for about 5 weeks “Corporate” I spoke with Kristen a rep that I thought was finally helping. She said she e-mailed “Corporate” explaining the circumstances for the ONE DAY late return and that “Corporate” approved for me to return the items and for her to e-mail me the corporate return form, which she did. She stated “Corporate” approved for the return of the sunglasses and other items if they had not been worn (they were not), along with the form completed in its entirety, and a copy of the original receipt. On the form it stated a decision would be made by 21 business days. They received my return on MARCH 25th! I found out a few days ago from Donna, a representative that called for my correct mailing address, “Corporate” had attempted to return my items, but no one was home to sign for the package. The representative also stated the reason my items were returned was because “Corporate” does not accept returns on sunglasses! CRAZY…We did receive notification from Fed-Ex that they attempted to deliver a package with a man’s name as the sender. The package was actually my return from CHANE! WHY so sneaky? WHY did “Corporate” approve the return form be sent and for me to return the never taken out of the case items in mid-March?🤯 CHANEL has had my money and items over 9 weeks and their policy on there form states a refund would be issued by 21 days. I was 1 day late and approved to make the return at the CHANEL BOUTIQUE! 🤯 I was sent the CHANEL Corporate Form with the okay to return my purchase yet CHANEL CORPORATE has had my money and my return for over 9 WEEKS!

Please help! I was talking to a friend earlier and he brought up that he was in a "conference call." I asked him what he was doing for work right now as I was a bit surprised as he just graduated high school. He told me he was doing "marketing" for Cutco. I didn't think much of it, I just assumed he was doing online advertising or something, I was honestly a bit proud. Later that day though, he asked for my mom's phone number. I bumped the message containing my mom's number I had already sent him a week ago when he was staying at my house for a bit. I assumed he just wanted to thank my mom for letting him stay at our house for a couple days while he was in a fight with his parents but I figured I'd ask him why anyways in case it was something else, and thank fuck I did, cus he replied with, "Cutco Knives. Need ppl to send to." This was the huge red flag that got me to look into this a bit. I don't know exactly know what MLM tactics CutCo does, but the fact that it's been mentioned on this sub multiple times and that there are multiple instances of it being dubbed a pyramid scheme, that's enough for me to want to drop everything I'm doing an try to pull my friend out of this. I'm way too stressed about this to do a bunch of research, my priority right now is to get him out of this ASAP. I don't want him to embarrass himself and more importantly, I don't want him to fall for the companies deception. If anyone can please just give a basic non-wordy rundown of the major problems with Cutco, that would be very helpful, as I am way too stressed to be able to put together a valid argument against them right now.
I told him that it's a pyramid scheme and made it clear that I understand if he's a bit embarrassed for falling for a pyramid scheme. Despite what I said though, he decided to be inexorable and said, "No, I didn't fall for a pyramid scheme." I told him to not say I didn't warn him and to keep my family out of this.
Should I keep trying to convince him or should I just let him learn the hard way? I'm a little worried about him right now.

Today I celebrate 10 months clean and sober from adderall and crystal meth. That’s the good news. And I’ve been doing it by the book: strong support system, no new relationships, therapy, psych meds, even a voluntary trip to a psychiatric hospital when I had a breakthrough manic episode (I’m bipolar as well). But this girl from work’s been up my ass since the day she started. Following me around the store, following me out to my car on break, etc. And, like, my ego digs it. I’m healthy. I look healthy, and it felt like a sign from God that I might just be a catch again. So I give her my number and we’ve been texting back and forth. Hung out once. And yesterday she didn’t quite blow me off, but her plans with her friends ran too late. So I’m like whatever. Let’s go see a movie this afternoon. She agrees. But here we are at almost 8 PM and I’m once again waiting and thinking things are going to fall through. And it shouldn’t be bothering me, but it is. I’m not even mad at her, so what gives? Then it hits me. I’m 10 months sober, and I’m once again waiting on the dope. Except this time in the form of a girl, and it fucking disgusts me. I saw this coming from a mile away, even told her to fuck off once or twice, and now I’m sitting here and staring at my phone like my dealer’s gonna pull up any minute.

I'd like to discuss with my family my gender identity, but there's some issues there. First of all I'm still pretty confused, I don't even know what to tell her. Second of all this is a topic that stresses me out quite a lot, and I'd be very anxious which is highly debilitating. That's why I want to discuss about this exclusively with my mother, she's the one in my family I can be a little bit less anxious with. Number three is that I don't know how to introduce the topic. It's really hard for me to speak my mind and that would be a huge step, and even tho I don't think I must do it, she'd be a huge supporter of mine. Number four is I usually get really scared when anxious, and I know I'll get really defensive about anything she says and probably overly aggressive. There's probably other issues but this is more or less all of it.
TL,DR: I want to come out to my mother but I don't know how due to my anxiety.
Somebody got any advice for me on how to do that?

I’m in 8th grade (graduating tomorrow) and my teacher is no longer working for the school I go to next year. Can we stay in touch by friending each other on instagram or giving each other our phone numbers? She says she would love to stay in contact with us but since we are minors it could be a legal thing. I really want to be able to text her or follow her on social media but I don’t want to get in trouble or her

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this but earlier today my account got hacked and they changed everything. They changed my phone number email and password and I can’t figure out how to fix it because Facebook won’t help and Google doesn’t give any useful information about this. If anyone knows a better place to post this or anything about how to fix this please let me know

I saw the post about using messages to view guide screen shots and it got me thinking...
Any way to use an incoming message as an alarm? I commonly set alarms on my phone to remind me to pause playing to check something (laundry, something in the oven etc.) but can't hear my phone with my headset/headphones. Having a virtual watch on my wrist helps in WG but would love to be able to have a message pop up at a specific time or number of minutes later.
Any ideas?

I changed a phone number and since I was paranoid old contacts would get prompted that I switched numbers I decided to uninstalling the whole thing instead of changing the number inside the app. I was prompted if I wanted to keep 1 GB of data, I said yes. Then I installed Whatsapp again and I wasn't prompted to enter a new number to get the SMS verification, so I tried uninstalling again fully, thinking oh well that 1GB probably is like an old backup or something and not the actual pics and vids inside the gallery, well turns out everything has been deleted and I don't have Google Drive backups or a gmail attached to Whatsapp and theres 58kb's of data for a backup so im assuming there's no local backup as well. Any way to recover the data?? I had encryption disabled for backups so maybe there's some way.
​
Another way would be if the person can save the chat history and send it to me somehow in a file so I can import it. The videos i've seen only export it as a .txt. Is there a way to export the entire thing with pics and videos?

I [21M] have been dating my boyfriend [21M] for just over two years now. We both live together and getting ready to wrap up our undergraduate studies next May. However, I have been on the fence of ending this relationship for the past few months now.
Since the beginning of this year, I have been beginning to become unhappy with the relationship over jealousy and insecurity issues on his end that I honestly believe a licensed therapist is qualified to try and solve. It would not have affected me as much, however, it was honestly the most stressful semester of college I have had. I am a music major in both wind band and orchestra, in two chamber ensembles, going to school full time, and the assistant general manager at the busiest store in our company, working 25-30 hours a week while school is in session. it felt like the stress never stops whenever I get home because I would have to watch what I said/did after work and school trying not to trigger his jealousy. For example, one day after i got home hanging out with one of my friends, he said "I can honestly see why some people make their partners delete snapchat".
In addition to the insecurity issue, he had a serious issue with keeping our space clean and cleaning up after cooking, which I feel like shouldn't be that hard considering that he only had one in person class on campus, with the rest of the courses being online, in addition to working a nannying job in which most cases doesn't leave for until 6 in the evening. Though, looking back at it, I can't hold that against him too much, since his parents basically hates cleaning, so he barely did it when he was living at home.
I talked with him a couple of weeks ago about this behavior, and he fully owned up and apologized, however, at the end of one of the conversations, he still asked me to tell one of my friends (who he said previously he wasn't worried about) that I am in a relationship, even though I have told him multiple times that he straight.
With his nannying job, the mother has not been good about giving him his full pay in time. He said about four months ago that he was tired of it and was thinking about looking for another job, but he only started applying places about a week ago. One of the places was a bank job that sounded really nice for his timeline in regards to pay and benefits. Before he even interviewed, he was telling his friends and family about the job and the interview as if he already had it. Last week, we found out that he did not get the job, even though I internally knew it sounded too good to be true at this time.
What really turned off is his response to a question asking him to tell them about his personality. His response was, “I’m bubbly and a good time on weekends!”
We have been apartment hunting for a few weeks and finally came across something we fell in love with. The only problem is with his nannying job, he doesn't get actual paystubs, which means his income comes from money transfer applications. Therefore, it is hard to provide proof of income, something that the apartment in question requires. To help with this, the complex requested a proof of income document from his employer. Instead of typing a formal letter (like I was going to do) and have the mom sign off on it, he only turned in a document that had only had a fill-in-the-blank columns of the name and how much he makes. Now, the apartment complex wants to call the mom (his employer) to verify the information, except my BF gave them his mom's phone number (she agreed to it) since he did not tell his employer about this income verification thing. Well, this morning, he realizes that he actually gave them his dad's phone number on accident. I'm really beginning to think that he is not mature enough to handle a relationship at this present time. I was optimistic after we talked about his jealousy and the way he was treating me this semester, however, I am starting to think that too much damage has already been done to me. Plus, he is struggling a little bit to find another job (something that should have been done a few months ago so we would not be in this situation), and I'm now worried that the apartment complex that we want to live in next year will deny the application because of his income issues (I don't make the rent requirement, but it would easily be solved with a guarantor).
Because of the above, I'm really thinking about ending the relationship if we get denied from the apartment. I just feel like he needs time to learn more about being a functional adult and developing healthy habits. But, I just feel stuck because I know it will hurt him immensely but I just feel unhappy with how things are going. What should I do?
TLDR; I am thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend of two years due to jealousy, insecurity, and lack of maturity.

Hello everyone, I have ordered my annual state park pass twice now and STILL HAVENT RECEIVED ANYTHING. I ordered it last year in 2022, nothing. I ordered it again in January of this year, nothing. It's been almost 5 months now and I'm really angry. Customer service is down right horrible and they gave a phone number to an office that doesn't exist??? Does anyone know a reason on why I haven't received anything? Anything will appreciated, thank you.

So I worked from January to December 2022. I took time off from September to November (it was pre decided) to give my exams. I came back to work in December and gor laid off
It took my employer 2 months to submit ROE. They emailed me a copy and I realized they had put last date as the September one and not December. When I pointed out, they said “Well it’s mailed now”. So I called Service Canada and got a number for employers and sent it to my office staff.
The lady on the phone said I can dispute this if they don’t change the dates I can dispute it and had also said previously that I can just give them details of my work history if there is no ROE and if there is any shortage, either Service Canada will owe me money or I will owe them.
My question is- 1. Can I just tell them to pay me without ROE as they had mentioned before. And then whatever time it takes the employer to fix and resend the ROE, atleast I’ll get paid some amount.

1. I used to get paid through e -transfer and not direct deposit. It does show the firms name on the transaction though. Will this be enough for payment proof if I decide to dispute it ?
   
2. Is an authorized bookkeepeaccountant allowed to call in and talk to them and submit the ROE? My boss will take weeks to do and her bookkeeper is an authorized agent and can get it done quicker.
   

I know my employer will eventually fix it but seeing how long it took, I can’t wait another 2 months.

Hello San Diego! We know that many SD residents experience anxiety. Dr. Taylor and his research team are conducting a research study at UCSD that you may be eligible for. This study will investigate how cannabidiol (CBD) affects biological and stress responses that are believed to underlie anxiety disorders.. We are looking for people ages 18 - 70 who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety.
Eligibility requirements include: not currently taking any psychiatric medications, no history of major head injury, not currently breastfeeding or pregnant, and have no use of CBD or Cannabis products in the past week (other criteria may apply).
Participation in this study will involve an initial screening visit with a clinical interview and medical assessment to determine if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you will be asked to complete a baseline session and a post-test session 4 days later. Each session will involve completing questionnaires, vital signs, a blood draw, and computerized and behavioral tasks. At the end of the baseline visit, you will be randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of cannabidiol (CBD) or placebo (an inactive substance), which you will take twice daily for 3 days. The total time commitment for this study ranges from 9 to 12 hours over 3 visits scheduled within 2 weeks. (*partly done remotely & compensation will be provided\).*
If you are interested in participating, please complete a pre-screen using this link: https://redcap.link/cbd-study You can also call us at 858-534-6400 or e-mail [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), leaving us your name and phone number.

TL;DR: Yes, you lose some BB bonuses but we gain so much more in the way of player agency via health chunk removal and trait removal. Under the current system, I would assume very few players actually pay the BB price to utilize them. With these new changes, you can better "optimize" your hunter in order to complete challenges faster and overall improve your experience in Hunt (i.e. play the way you want to play).
And, if you feel like you're missing out and still want cosmetic items, you can supplement all of the BB bonuses lost by paying $25 PER YEAR. Overall, I think this is a great decision for the game and people are seriously underestimating how much this will actually improve their enjoyment of the game.
---
Now, for the long version with some simple math:
First of all, I get it. Nobody likes when bonuses get taken away. But I think a lot of people are very quick to jump to conclusions on this and people are overlooking the significance of what will now be added to the game in exchange for removal of these bonuses.
I'm a numbers guy, so let's look at some math (forgive me as I'm at work so I may not be 100% accurate on some of these figures). Quick disclaimer that I am assuming 15 hours per week would be the average for Hunt players, but I do believe this is a very conservative (higher) estimate than actual playtime and many people don't even come close to this level of BB earnings under the current system.
THE CURRENT SYSTEM:
BB Generation:

• End of Match Bonus: 1-3 BBs (as I understand), so an average of 2 per game.
  • Games Played/Week: Assume 15 hours per week
  • 30 mins per match = 30 matches per week = 60 BBs per week from the end of match bonus
  • More detail below, but assuming you can consistently hit these 30 matches per week for 90% of the entire year, you're looking at 2,820 BBs/year from this bonus.
• Bounty Extraction Reward (5-Day Reward): Let's assume in those 15 hours you are able to log in 5 days in a row and get the bounty extraction bonus every week you play. Let's also assume you play 90% of the weeks in a year.
  • 52 Weeks x 90% = 46.8 (47 weeks)
  • 47 weeks x 25 BBs/week = 1,175 BBs/year
• Challenges: Assume this is reached in each of the 47 weeks out of the year that you play.
  • 47 weeks x 25 BBs/week = 1,175 BBs/year

​
BB Expenditures:

• Hunter Slot, Loadout Slot, and of course BB Skins (this remains unchanged)
• Remove last health chunk: 20 BBs. Based on the above, this equates the following:
  • 10 full matches OR
  • 80% of your bonus for extracting with a bounty FIVE DAYS in a row OR
  • 80% of your bonus for completing challenges (AKA killing hunters with an ammo box)
  • This is to remove a health chunk on one hunter btw.
  • Honest question, under this system, who is gonna do so much work for so little reward? I would speculate that Crytek realizes this as well. Only they have the stats but let's be honest, how many of you have actually used this button ever?
• Remove Trait: ~15-20 BBs(?) - In any case, essentially the same cost/benefit as above.
• Reshuffle Hunters (beyond your first free one): 25 BBs(?) - Same as above, except it's 100% of your bonus. For one reshuffle.

​
Are you starting to see my point? Compared to the effort it takes to earn these BBs, it's way too expensive to justify paying for these things unless you are already buying BBs, and even then I'd speculate people don't want to pay real money so they can optimize a hunter who might just get headshot at the spawn**.**
On Crytek's end, it's a Catch-22: Those prices have to stay high because you are able to generate so many BBs from just playing the game.
​
NOW, on to the NEW SYSTEM (AKA "What do I get out of this?"):

• Hunter Slot, Loadout Slot, and of course BB Skins (this remains unchanged)
• Challenges - 50 BBs per week. Assuming the same 90% (47 weeks) played from above, this equates to 2,350 BBs/year (obviously, the same bonus as now without the requirement to log in and extract 5 days in a row).
• Remove Last Health Chunk - FREE (maybe people would actually use this button now)
• Remove Trait - FREE (less 1 trait point). People seriously underestimate how much this will change the game in their favor. For the most part, players will have more agency over how they want to play and this will certainly make completing challenges easier.
• Reshuffle Hunters - Hunt Dollars - This is a secondary bonus, but it would be nice to give yourself a few more options in exchange for some hunt dollars every once in a while.

​
So how do I supplement the 2,820 BBs I earn from playing 30 matches per week, 47 weeks out of the year?
$25 = 3,150 BBs. Pay this once per YEAR and you're actually ahead in BBs. Let's assume this is the "cost" of playing hunt. Well, to use the example above:

• If you play 5 days per week, 47 weeks out of the year (235 days), then it would cost you $0.11 per DAY that you play Hunt.

Doesn't seem like too bad of a deal to me.
And let's not forget. Under the new system, you are no longer obligated to buy BBs outside of cosmetics and other menu conveniences, but you still get the benefit of free health chunk removal, free trait removal (again, this is huge), and cheap reshuffles.
While I do understand that some people will always look at this as something that has been taken away from them, I think it's pretty silly to also not realize how much we are getting in exchange for this. I think this was a great move by Crytek and this benefit will be immediately realized as soon as 1.13 hits.
Future tweaks needed? Maybe so, but as of right now I'm personally pretty stoked.
Let me know your thoughts and I'll be happy to discuss.

Hello UCSD! We know that many students experience anxiety. Dr. Taylor and his research team are conducting a research study at UCSD that you may be eligible for. This study will investigate how cannabidiol (CBD) affects biological and stress responses that are believed to underlie anxiety disorders.. We are looking for people ages 18 - 70 who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety.
Eligibility requirements include: not currently taking any psychiatric medications, no history of major head injury, not currently breastfeeding or pregnant, and have no use of CBD or Cannabis products in the past week (other criteria may apply).
Participation in this study will involve an initial screening visit with a clinical interview and medical assessment to determine if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you will be asked to complete a baseline session and a post-test session 4 days later. Each session will involve completing questionnaires, vital signs, a blood draw, and computerized and behavioral tasks. At the end of the baseline visit, you will be randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of cannabidiol (CBD) or placebo (an inactive substance), which you will take twice daily for 3 days. The total time commitment for this study ranges from 9 to 12 hours over 3 visits scheduled within 2 weeks. (*partly done remotely & compensation will be provided\).*
