15 Extreme Rooftoppers That Prove People Are Damn Awesome

[sparklecarehospital-archive]

I mentioned this a while back I'm pretty sure, but just a reminder that once V4 is over, the site will be under maintenance for a while as I implement the site revamp. It won't be immediately that day, but it'll be relatively soon after. The volume ends on the 1st, so if you aren't caught up you should get caught up before then. There will be a Google drive archive of pages that I'll put together for people to access while the site is offline but it won't be possible to put content warnings on any of the pages on Google drive, which is why I recommend catching up as soon as possible (and I don't recommend reading for the first time through the Google drive archive for this reason either.)

I promise that every majorly requested feature over the years plus many more accessibility options will be included in this update. The mobile reading experience will be LOADS better with a new mobile layout that's easier to use and you won't have to zoom in on everything, content warnings will be customizable (YOU CAN PICK THE CATEGORIES OF WHAT CONTENT YOU WANT TO FILTER) and even entirely optional (YOU CAN DISABLE THE WARNINGS ALTOGETHER) the saturation toggler will be improved by miles and replaced with a slider AND you will be able to set the saturation the first time you ever open the (new) site to keep new readers from immediately getting blinded by the colors when they open it. Archive page will have images, there will even be a "transcript archive" that gives you the option to read the entire comic in text form if you need that. THERE WILL BE MORE CHARACTERS ON THE CAST PAGE!!!!!!!! You will be able to bookmark and save your place in the comic and go back to it later. Pages will be easier to find as you're actively reading with "thumbnail galleries" on the comic pages that show you smaller versions of pages that you can scroll through and click to jump further. There will be an option to put the pagination buttons above and below the page or both. Typing in a page number for a volume on the url bar will redirect you to the right page without needing to know which specific update it's in. All of this stuff is confirmed, if not already fully coded (several of these are coded already) will still be there on launch. I will note that some parts of the site are a bit different (the mobile site looks pretty different in order to make it more useable) the core functionalities that you're used to won't be different. I promise this update will be worth the wait and work it will take.

I don't know how long the site will be offline for because it's going to be so much work, but I'll try to set it up as quick as I can without rushing anything at risk of major bugs.

[picory]

sites that ditch pagination in favor of a "load more" button should be banned. baaaannned to hell. might be my currently poor internet connection that's making it extra unbearable, but soon as i try to load more items in a catalogue, the page crashes. cause it's trying to load so much all at once. but y'know, even with decent wifi, i just don't want to keep endlessly scrolling down, whether i'm shopping or browsing through an archive. with numbered pages i can easily go back to the exact page where i spotted that one item i had tucked away in the back of my mind. much easier!

[pancakeke]

the type of endless scrolling that makes you click "load more" every dozen items or so just combines the worst aspects of endless scrolling with the worst aspects of pagination. who thought this shit up.

[lighthouse-app]

Hello everyone! It has been a moment, and we had a rough few months following a procedure and some other real life situations. But now we're back and can finally confidently release an update. This is a big one. We've listened to what the users were asking, and did what we could to get a chunk of our tasklist done.

Overall

Lighthouse has a slightly new design. The banner is gone, as you can see. That was originally there because we had improperly formatted the navigation bar. Now, there's more of a focus on the website itself, hopefully reducing any distractions.

Almost all large backgrounds have been replaced with small pixel art drawings (made by us) to save on data and load times.

Emoji parsing via Twemoji has been removed. The project was discontinued in early 2023. Lighthouse trying to reach Twemoji was partially why load times were so long.

Because of us personally getting pulled into syscourse (without us wanting to), we have added a Philosophy page to the website. We hope it's now very clear where we stand.

Communal Journal

Each system and subsystem gets their own communal journal now with pagination. The page for it also has prompts, if you need help figuring out what to write.

For privacy and clarity, the communal journal now is on its own page.

Systems

Alters can now appear in multiple systems. They have a "main" system and "other" systems. When looking in their "other" systems, these alters will have a ✦ next to their name. You can place an alter in up to 5 other systems. The breadcrumb navigation currently still points their their main system, though. This will hopefully be fixed at a later date.

Forums

Forums now have a cleaned up reply section. formatting shouldn't be escaping on the alter cards.

In areas where you need to choose an author of a post/reply/etc, there is now a searchable dropdown. We hope this helps large systems.

Glossary

Despite the controversy, we have decided to bring back the glossary. Its new purpose is not to serve as a giant dictionary for terminology, and we will be pruning definitions in the coming days. Users are opted out of the glossary by default, and this can be changed in the settings page. Guests and logged out users can see the glossary.

We know users want us to allow custom terms for their own account, which is something we plan to add in the future.

Other Changes

We hopefully fixed a bug in our Pluralkit import logic that doesn't just gloss over members that weren't added. Lighthouse will keep trying to add a member until it succeeds. We suspect this might make another issue arise, but we'll figure it out from there.

My tips to new users to make Tumblr more usable

This is kind of random but I think Tumblr is one of those websites that hides a lot of its functionality from users and comes with default settings that makes it kind unusable (at least for me). So I've decided to collect some suggestions about things to do immediately in order to make Tumblr a much more usable website:

Most important: Put the content you actually opt into on your dash. First, go to Settings > Dashboard and turn off "Best Stuff First." In general, (1) I don't think it's good to let social media sites curate your content feed (they're not very good! you can curate your own content feeds!), and (2) chronological ordering is much more helpful for making sense of information. I don't know why you would want posts on a site to be presented in any other way. Please save yourself and make your dash chronological by toggling this monstrosity OFF. Also for the love of god, turn off "Include posts liked by the blogs you follow" and "Include 'Based On Your Likes!'" too. Other people's experiences might be different from mine, but when Tumblr first introduced this feature and I tried it out for a while, it was so predictable that every time I came across a post that made me viscerally angry and think, "How the HELL did this get on my dash?" it was always always some random post from someone I wasn't even following… So yeah, get rid of that.

Second, make the "Following" tab your default, instead of the "For you" tab. How to do this is not particularly obvious. From the Tumblr homepage (not settings), you need to find the tabs at the top of your dash (For you, Following, Your tags) and then click the toggle/settings icon to the right of those tabs. This will allow you to reorder your tabs. In particular, what you need to do is click the pin icon to the right of "Following," and this will set Following to be your pinned and first tab. By default, when you open Tumblr, your dash will show the posts of people you have actually opted into following rather than what Tumblr suggests to you.

Next, make sure timestamps on posts are on. This should be the default (despite what Tumblr says?), but if you don't see timestamps at the top of all posts, I highly recommend turning this setting on (under Settings > Dashboard). Knowing when a post was made is hugely helpful for understanding the context of the post, and I don't know why websites would allow you to hide this, really, unless they want you walking around with no sense of time or context, which uh… I don't recommend that social media experience!

Turn off endless scrolling (under Settings > Dashboard): Websites like endless scrolling to keep people from leaving the site. I recommend turning this off to make it more obvious how many posts you've scrolled through on Tumblr, to make it easier to find your place in older posts, and also to make the website just lighter to load. When I last used it, the Tumblr mobile app does not allow pagination, which is pretty typical of social media apps in general. Honestly, I recommend just not using the Tumblr mobile app at all. I've uninstalled it and aside from missing the convenience of being able to attach photos from my phone onto Tumblr posts, I really don't miss it…

Things that you may or may not be interested in:

Enable custom theme on (each of) your blog(s): So fun fact: If you don't have a custom theme enabled, then when people visit your blog when not logged into Tumblr, they will only be able to scroll through a few of the posts on your blog before being prompted by Tumblr to log in if they want to see more. This popup cannot be gotten around, and so people without Tumblr accounts or who are browsing on a device/browser without a login session just won't be able to see your posts. Personally, I do not like this behavior -- I like my blogs to be archives with useful permalinks that can be browsed by anyone. Anyway, you can get rid of this annoying prompt by going to Account > (select blog) > Blog settings and toggling that "Enable custom theme" slider. It doesn't really matter what theme you use (although there are a lot of options to choose from), just use a custom one!

Turn off "Shorten long posts" (under Settings > Dashboard): YMMV, but I personally don't find this setting very helpful as the maximum length for when it starts cutting off posts is pretty short and falls far short of what I would consider a "long post" that is inconvenient to scroll past. Instead, you may want to turn off this setting and create a filter for the tag "long post" (under Settings > Account > Filtered Tags).

Mature content: If you're interested in possibly seeing mature content, you may want to review your mature content settings (under Settings > Account) as by default, Tumblr is set to hide it entirely and doesn't tell you that it's hidden posts from you and so you probably just will not be aware this setting is a thing! Personally, I use the "Blur" setting.

Hiding content from users you don't want to see: As far as I can tell, if you see someone's posts in (e.g.) tag searches and would prefer not to see any of that person's posts in public places like that tag or appear on your dash by people you follow reblogging their posts, you should block them. Official Tumblr documentation does not say that this is a feature of blocking, but it is.

When Tumblr's functionality isn't enough… External tools such as XKit Rewritten provide a whole lot of QoL fixes to Tumblr's interface like making it easier to reply to replies, hiding posts you've already seen, showing how many new/unread posts are in tracked tags, showing all tags on posts by default rather than requiring you to click "See all," etc. For me, one thing I needed in order to make Tumblr semi-usable for me is hiding notes in tag searches (because I don't really need constant reminders that my tastes aren't aligned with wider fandom's tastes lol). I couldn't find a tool that does this, so I wrote a simple Tampermonkey script to do it for me.

Hope this helps new users of Tumblr, and feel free to add other helpful tips if you have them!

Hi Jennifer,

So art notes for PB should be minimal. We’re supposed leave absolutely as much room for the illustrator as possible.

But for graphic novels, the writer provides lots of descriptions, breaks the script into pages and panels, has notes about emotions and tone, etc etc. There’s so much to do in illustrating a GN that it takes some load off the artist to predecide a lot of stuff.

So, my question is: how should a writer (who is not an illustrator) format a “script” for a comics-style pb and handle those “art notes”? Do PB editors know how to read a comics script? Should we still be leaving as much room for the illustrator as possible? Should we break the script into pages and panels?

Thank you!!!

First, yes, you are correct on both your first points.

A script for a graphic novel looks much like a screenplay. The "Art Notes" are where descriptive places would be in a screenplay. The dialogue is tagged, as are sound effects.

So it might look something like:

--

Page 1.

Exterior, a suburban neighborhood at sunset -- the street lights have just come on, and a boy, age 10, stocky build, is building something in a treehouse while MOM, still wearing nursing scrubs from a long day at work, calls to him from the doorway.

1981: Two Days Before Doomsday

It started like every other night.

MOM: "Johnny Jefferson, you get in this house right now!"

JOHNNY: [hastily putting a cover over his creation] "ALRIGHT, Ma!"

[Johnny scrambles out of the tree-house and Mom returns to the kitchen]

Page 2.

Interior, a homey but somewhat cluttered working class home. DAD is already at the table, drinking a beer and watching the news on an old-fashioned small B&W TV. 12-year-old sister JOSIE is setting the table with a sour expression on her face, Mom is clearly annoyed and plating lasagna as Johnny, disheveled, pulls up a chair.

TV announcer: [blaring] "More after an ad from our sponsor!"

JOSIE: "Thanks for helping, nimrod!"

JOHNNY: "Whatever, buttface!"

MOM: "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!"

The kids are shocked silent

TV: "Friends, do you have wobbly dentures?"

MOM: "DAVE. TV. NOW."

Dad shuts off the TV and everyone is now obviously abashed and on their "best behavior"

MOM: "THANK you." [demeanor changes to bright and cheery] "Now, who is going to say Grace?"

--

Though that's just a for-example. There are lots of ways to do it, and you aren't going to get dinged as long as you are consistent and it makes sense. You are leaving room for the illustrator here - you don't need to specify exactly what the characters are wearing or what they look like or what is happening unless it's actually important to the story. So for some stories, these descriptions will be VERY important. For some, not so much. In my example, it's important that Johnny is 10, that he's stocky, that the neighborhood is suburban, that the mom is a nurse, that the street lights have just come on, that they have a small, old TV, that dad is drinking beer, that it's a little cluttered, etc. It's NOT particularly important what kind of home it is (craftsman? ranch? etc) or what color hair mom has or what the other details are -- the illustrator will add all kinds of other details that round out this family.

Some authors do paginate, and I think can be helpful for you to do so so that both you, and the reader/editor/artist can tell how many pages the dang thing is going to be and approximately what's on each page -- if you have a TON of dialogue on one page for example, that's going to be a problem -- the artist needs to actually have room for all those words AND the pictures. Some authors get into the weeds about panels-per-page, etc, some only put that when it is important to the pacing of the page or something. Neither is strictly necessary, though.

There are lots of resources about how to format a GN online, and I'd also suggest you study books like Words for Pictures and Understanding Comics (and I'm sure there are lots of other good ones!) so you can get a better idea of what the medium is all about.

(And a PB editor may or may not be a GN editor. GN editors do, indeed, know how to read a GN script!)

Main Feature: Forums

A rather thorough breakdown of the current forums design. This includes a number of images and a description of what is shown.

The main page lists the posts with filtering by category and sorting by "most recent", "newest", "oldest" and "top" under Advanced Search. Search is currently by title only with more options planned for later.

At the top of the main page is a sliding panel to show any sticky discussions, this will include important posts pertaining to rules within a category.

Show 10 discussions per page with pagination at the bottom.

When loading, such as between pages, categories, or searches, 10 "ghost" discussions are shown to indicate loading is in progress.

The categories on the right side can be clicked to fetch posts within that category, and will slide down to reveal sub categories.

An active parent category will show all discussions in that category AND discussions in all their child categories. An active child category will only show discussions within that category.

On mobile the sidebar is hidden and can be opened as a slide over panel by clicking the three vertical dot button.

The "new discussion" button takes you to a new page, it automatically selects the last active category (or defaults to general).

Can add a title, select the category, use BBCode for content, and subscribe to the discussion.

Current bbcode tags: blockquote, code, spoiler, headings, b, i, u, s, left, center, right, color, img, url, with more to be added later. And you can of course preview the output before submitting.

The discussion view shows the title with the category next to it. The category can be clicked to go back to the forums with that category selected.

Moderator actions in the header include stickying and locking the discussion.

Other actions include subscribing to the discussion or scrolling down to the reply form at the bottom.

To the left of the each post is user informations with a vista, an avatar, the display name and the username.

At the top of a post is a bar that contains: a button to view post history (moderator only), the date the post was made, delete post button (moderator only), edit post (moderator or post owner only), and the post id that can be clicked to copy a direct link to the post.

At the bottom of a post is the post user's signature. (The "Hello World!" in the image.)

On mobile everything stacks and the vista disappears to show a color block only instead.

When looking at a discussion, if another user makes a post a button will pop up above the reply form that upon clicking will load in all of the new posts. This works via websockets.

Later Features:

Discussion tags.

Pinglists.

Note: The vista and avatar are temporary. I'm a solo programmer, not an artist and work with what I've got while building.

Loading Tumblr has improved somewhat, though now I get this problem where it'll be working fine and then it's like. Nah. I'm done. And will just not do anything for a few minutes. Meanwhile other sites work fine.

Main reason this is annoying is because of the general lack of pagination on Tumblr. So if I'm going through a blog and I'm on page 50 or something, and Tumblr decides it's tired and not going to load anymore, often I can't just refresh or just go back to that page once Tumblr starts to behave again. I'll be redirected to the first page of the blog and have to load every page till I get to where I was. That's why I hate endless scrolling on Tumblr and the fact that blogs no longer generate their own space (as opposed to the sidebar thingy, obvs I don't know the terms here). Tumblr used to be okayish for enjoying older posts, but these days posts just get buried forever once they're past the first couple pages unless the user goes to lengths to make that stuff usable. There are a lot of fun old blogs I still like to visit but I just can't see their oldest stuff unless I've got literally hours to devote to paging through them, an effort that is undermined in a snap when Tumblr decides to not work.

Another problem which I get periodically, then it disappears, then comes back: My side-blogs don't recognize me when I visit them. I'm logged in, but I can't edit any posts on the blog - I can only edit them under "Account" from my dash. Which, thanks to aforementioned lack of pagination, is really really Not Good if the post I want to edit is many pages back. I've been on Tumblr for more than ten years. I decided at one point that I wanted to get rid of my "water" tag because there were just too many of those posts, and re-tag them with "ocean" "lake" etc. Well, I got partway through, then stopped for a while, and when I went to continue Tumblr treats me like I'm a visitor on my own sideblog. It asks me to "follow" my sideblog and won't let me interact with my posts. I can't realistically comb through ten years of posts with no help from page numbers and refreshing always reverting to the front page. I do actually have a life.

I don't get how the current way is better. I know other social media sites often only care about what's on the front page. They made that choice from the start, so that's what users expect. But Tumblr started us off with blogs that came with page numbers and tags and were able to be at least somewhat decently organized. Now being like "Nothing before yesterday matters" just totally upsets what I like about it. Might as well move to Instagram, idk.

[sleeper354]

I've updated my neocities to have a journal now. It has a dual purpose. First is to let me have a place to journal thoughts that is relatively not going to be read. Second it gave me some interesting problems to solve. In particular, I wanted to make a way to have entries load from other html files rather than having it all be in the same file (getting huge or having to make separate journal page copies)

I feel like some more sophisticated websites would just be like "DB TIME!" but there's something about restricting your capabilities. In this case, what I've done is use an XMLHttpRequest to pull the individual entry files. Then load those into divs with the dates dynamically.

I don't know if it is a difficulty with XMLHttpRequest, JS, or the way a webpage loads, but the function example I found for doing this can only do one element per function call, and I'm not really sure why. If I try to do more than one at once it just doesn't work. This in and of itself required a problem solving approach because I could not for the life of me figure out why it just wasn't working.

Eventually I settled on passing an offset into the function doing the request rather than using internal looping and just offsetting all the elements from there.

It's neat. Really nice. A+. Would recommend. Go make weird stuff. The hard part is just remembering to write journal entries. I also have a small roadmap now of planned changes and improvements, namely: 1) Pagination, right now it just shows the 10 most recent days 2) Piggy backing off that, skipping days with no entries. Right now it shows a place holder "No entry here" 3) Add a way to input a date to start the look back from 4) Dynamically set the amount of entries to show, thus dynamically controlling how many divs there are

I don't know why I feel so fired up tonight for doing this, but I did. I've actually overshot when I wanted to be asleep by almost an hour. But now that I'm done, phew.

That grid theme I'm working on

It's almost ready! It's now responsive to tablet and mobile sizes, and I've stripped out jQuery because bleh.

I think it needs some more customisation options before I can make it public but currently it features:

Masonry layout (with Masonry.js)

Infinite Scroll (with InfiniteScroll.js) - it even updates your URL as you scroll through the pages!

Read more links for long posts that let them expand without breaking the masonry grid.

Legacy photo posts now use the neue Tumblr default lightboxes.

No JS fallbacks!

Permalink pages with notes.

Tag pages.

Ask and reblogged asks support!

To do:

No JS fallback for pagination. - Now has a no JS fallbacks and will show navigation if infiniteScroll is disabled. I just need to add the switch in the customisation options to allow you to enable / disable at will.

Customisation options for fonts, colours, and column amounts.

Add the Google Font API loader to avoid any weirdness with masonry layout and font loading. - turns out this api is er, terrible and old and doesn't really work so I think it'll just have to do as is.

Better link options in the header.

Check the like button is loading properly - it should all be set up but doesn't seem to want to update?

Issue with iframes being loaded in :( - fixed I think?

Hopefully I can release this by the new year, but we'll see.

Originally based off the GRID theme.

Why Power BI Takes the Lead Against SSRS

In an era where data steers the course of businesses and fuels informed decisions, the choice of a data visualization and reporting tool becomes paramount. Amidst the myriad of options, two stalwarts stand out: Power BI and SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services). As organizations, including those seeking Power BI training in Gurgaon, strive to extract meaningful insights from their data, the debate about which tool to embrace gains prominence. In this digital age, where data is often referred to as the "new oil," selecting the right tool can make or break a business's competitive edge.

Understanding the Landscape

What is Power BI?

Microsoft Power BI is a powerful business analytics application that enables organizations to visualize data and communicate insights across the organization. With its intuitive interface and user-friendly features, Power BI transforms raw data into interactive visuals, making it easier to interpret and draw actionable conclusions.

What is SSRS?

On the other hand, SSRS, also developed by Microsoft, focuses on traditional reporting. It enables the creation, management, and delivery of traditional paginated reports. SSRS has been a reliable choice for years, but the advent of Power BI has brought new dimensions to data analysis.

The Advantages of Power BI Over SSRS

In the realm of data analysis and reporting tools, Power BI shines as a modern marvel, surpassing SSRS in various crucial aspects. Let's explore the advantages that set Power BI apart:

1. Interactive Visualizations

Power BI's forte lies in its ability to transform raw data into interactive and captivating visual representations. Unlike SSRS, which predominantly deals with static reports, Power BI empowers users to explore data dynamically, enabling them to drill down into specifics and gain deeper insights. This interactive approach enhances data comprehension and decision-making processes.

2. Real-time Insights

While SSRS offers a snapshot of data at a particular moment, Power BI steps ahead with real-time data analysis capabilities. Modern businesses, including those enrolling in a Power BI training institute in Bangalore, require up-to-the-minute insights to stay competitive, and Power BI caters precisely to this need. It connects seamlessly to various data sources, ensuring that decisions are based on the latest information.

3. User-Friendly Interface

Power BI's intuitive interface stands in stark contrast to SSRS's somewhat technical setup. With its drag-and-drop functionality, Power BI eliminates the need for extensive coding knowledge. This accessibility allows a wider range of users, from business analysts to executives, to create and customize reports without depending heavily on IT departments.

4. Scalability

As a company grows, so does the amount of data it handles. Power BI's cloud-based architecture ensures scalability without compromising performance. Whether you're dealing with a small dataset or handling enterprise-level data, Power BI can handle the load, guaranteeing smooth operations and robust analysis.

5. Natural Language Queries

One of Power BI's standout features is its ability to understand natural language queries. Users can interact with the tool using everyday language and receive relevant visualizations in response. This bridge between human language and data analytics simplifies the process for non-technical users, making insights accessible to all.

The SEO Advantage

In the digital age, search engine optimization (SEO) plays a vital role in ensuring your content, including information about Power BI training in Mumbai, reaches the right audience. When it comes to comparing Power BI and SSRS in terms of SEO, Power BI once again takes the lead.

With their interactive visual content, Power BI-enhanced articles attract more engagement. This higher engagement leads to longer on-page time, lower bounce rates, and improved SEO rankings. Search engines recognize user behavior as a marker of content quality and relevance, boosting the visibility of Power BI-related articles.

Hi! Some questions about the systems and subsystems stuff.

In our system, we like to make little descriptions of things. I was wondering if there could be some more system/subsystem settings therefore. Like maybe adding brief descriptions to each system page? It would be really helpful in our personal case because of our individual system functioning and all that. We've been using the forum section to describe our subsystems for now

The second question also pertains to some kind of system/subsystem settings, which is if you could add an option for displaying people in a nested subsystem inside the parent system page? It would just be an on-off switch. It would be a useful setting for us personally, since we have plenty of two-person subsystems and similar, and it would save the hassle of jumping back and forth between subsystem pages

My last question is also a subsystem setting, but I'd like to ask if you've had any thoughts to implement subsystem journals? Like how we have the communal journal in the My System overview, it would be helpful to have a similar thing for subsystems. Especially one of our subsystems are less "separated" between their members, and I think they'd appreciate being able to have a communal journal for just them along with the individual journals when they really know who's fronting in their subsystem

And on the journals, sometimes when our system don't know who's fronting, we still like to make journal entries just to jot down our thoughts (and hopefully figure out who we are in the process). So like how there's a Blurry option for forum posts, could there be some kind of blurry option for journal entries that isn't connected to the communal journal? (We've noticed that you can move entries between individual people, but not from the communal journal to a single member)

Hope this isn't too much, apparently I had a lot of thoughts on the matter. So much love to this website and the work you put into it, and take care of yourselves today! 👏👏

Hopefully it's ok to answer this in a numbered list format haha

We really like the idea of adding a descriptor to systems and subsystems! We'll add that to the list.

The idea of doing that, letting subsystem members be shown, is in the works. What's currently stopping that from being worked on right now is figuring out how to better load the system page. Right now, large systems are noticing the site crashing due to the volume of data being recalled/memory being used. So we're gonna work on paginating the system page as well. When we have that squared away, we'll start adding subsystem member cards to that page as well!

We do want to add sub-system journals at some point as well. I think with how much we want to add, it might be best to start, like, "theming" updates. Like, for one update we solely work on forums, or subsystems, etc. The reason we haven't done an alter -> communal journal function yet is that the communal journal is actually stored in a separate database with different parameters than alter journals. Looking back, we probably should have made their databases one and the same haha.

Thank you for the insight!! We're really happy to be helping a bunch of people like this. <3
