Good morning everyone. I took a good look last night on many of my watch lists. I now have over 30 watch lists. TD Ameritrade mobile app allows for 300 tickers per watch list. I now have over 300 Tech stocks as I have TECH and TECH 2. At this time last year I had about 20 watch lists and a little over 800 tickers on them all. With Reddit, social media and trading grenades/speculative stocks I have expanded to watch lists and have added tickers that normally would not make it to watch lists. [Grenades, Risky]. At one time it was very hard to make it to my watch list. I would see a ticker, do extensive research and if it passed I would add it to 1 of my 20 watch lists. Now, it just need to be mentioned, or hot and I will add it to 1 of the lists. I now have over 30 watch lists and probably near 1,500 tickers in total….. this is important because it means the quality of companies is not there. For myself, I am able to recognize quickly if its trash, all hype and a fake business, [One that exists to sell shares and not an actual business that makes money.] Normally something like WISH, ROOT, would never make it to my watch lists…. Why? These companies from day 1 of being public, were not profitable, lose more money than have sales, or very close, are years away from profitability and show no signs of life. Sorry to offend anyone but you must recognize this….. SDC, BYND used to grow sales at over 100%, showing me signs of a business that can make money. CLOV was also growing at a fast pace… However the growth at SDC and BYND has screeched to a halt… CLOV is growing fast but losing more and more money…………..Last week we had SFT as a play of the day….. The company grew sales from 60 million to 180 million. The losses went from 30 million to 40 million… That is the right path, no? CLOV goes from sales of 200 million to 400 million. [Awesome]….but losses go from 20 million to 103 million 5x… I understand many of you may not be good in math.. but some things should be very obvious.. The trajectory on SFT shows positive and CLOV negative… losses mount, so what did CLOV do? Dump nearly 60 million shares on the market…..Yes they are dumb because this is not the 1st quarter this trajectory was like this… they should have done this when the stock was 20+ and dumped 10 million shares to get the same money….. insert your ticker and start looking at the trajectory, does WISH make sense? SNOW?.... PTON was not far from bankruptcy trust me, hence they dumped shares Monda

I recently replaced all the switches in my home with Aqara H1 and one of them is behaving weirdly. In random occasions the red light glows up on the switch and the switch becomes unavailable via ZigBee and stops reacting to presses as well. If the light is on while this happens, it just switches it off.
As a workaround solution I tried to reset and repair the switch and to turn off the electricity for a minute at the circuit breaker, but the problem just keeps coming back at random occasions. There are days when it comes up multiple times, then there are 2-3 days when this is not happening at all.
According to the manual, the static red light means that the panel is not compatible with the power source. There used to be issues with this particular circuit, before we switched to LED lights, it quite often destroyed regular bulbs. My guess is that there might be something wrong either with the wiring or the chandelier and somehow the new switch detects this issue and as a protection goes into some kind of "safe mode". Is something like this possible? For what should I look for to figure out what's the source of the problem?
The advent of textile mechanization has peeled the death knell on cultures and hand crafted traditions. One such indigenous culture fading away slowly is the pastoral tribal community of ‘The Todas’. They reside amidst the rumbling hills of Nilgiris, meaning ‘Blue Mountains’ and communicate in Toda language, belonging to the Dravidian family of languages. Apart from being herdsmen and farmers, involved in small time cultivation in grasslands, they also deeply engage themselves in the tradition of handicrafts and are experts in a distinct style of embroidered shawls, cloaks, and silver jewelry. In the Toda language, they call this tradition of embroidery as ‘pukhoor’ which means ‘flower’.
CRAFTS OF THE TODAS PEOPLE
What is particularly remarkable about the Todas is that they lead their lives as an intimate, close-knit community which is interwoven with the natural environment. A social streak that reflects rather immensely on the handiwork itself. Essentially characterized by the usage of red and black (with occasional blue) threads, worked together with intricacy and harmony on a white cloth, the embroidery quite unsurprisingly, achieved its rightful Geographical Indication status in 2012.
It is the women of the tribe who carry forward this age old practice of, highly nuanced and distinctive embroidery which represents the quintessential characteristics of the Toda tribe, The local terms used to describe the embroidery work are ‘kuty’ or ‘awtty’ meaning “stitching” and ‘kutyvoy’ meaning the embroidered piece. The fabric used is coarse bleached half white cotton cloth with hand; the woven bands on the fabric consist of two bands, one in red, one in black spaced at six inches. ‘Karnol’ is the name of the embroidery done on the left part of the fabric, whereas the right part is known as ‘Karthal’.
They do the embroidery on reverse, in order to produce a rich, embossed effect on the surface. The entire process is based on counting. The women do them out of practice without tracing the pattern or referring to a book. Each woman who engages with this practice, does the embroidery according to her interpretation of the surroundings. This, ultimately results in each product being one of one.
WOMEN AND NATURE
The tribal women consider their work as a tribute to nature. Hence, the inspiration of the developed designs comes from nature, day to day life activities, mythological stories and reflects colors of flora and fauna. Since, the embroidery of a partic

I recently dyed my hair a bold intense red. It’s like fire engine red mixed with wine. I also am trying to step away from doing winged eyeliner because I have crow’s feet 😩. Someone suggested I do eyeliner using eyeshadow for the wing to create a softer look and I love the idea. Never tried it but watched some YouTube tutorials and I get the idea.
So what eye color pallet should I use? I’ve always just used black eyeliner, but I think it’ll look too intense. Should I got for a warm toned pallet? I just found Urban Decay’s “Naked Petite Heat” pallet, which had a dark brown / red color that could work for the eyeliner. Or should I stick with something like they “Naked 2 Basics” which is a bit more neutral in tone.
Any specific recommendations?
Beginner here. I've only driven stick a couple of times and drove for the 3rd time around town yesterday. I've noticed every time I stop I go into neutral. I think I heard once if you're stopping for a longer period of time (like at a red light) you put in N - is that true for every full stop you make? or can you be in first ( i haven't tried since i'm afraid of stalling in the middle of the road with traffic)
I’m wearing a beige top and brown shorts (male) and I threw on some red vans. I think it looks pretty good but I could be very wrong. Do I need some form of red in my outfit to pull off red shoes? Thanks!
I'll see a red area on the side of the road, go there, kill everyone I see, and it stays red on the map. Does it ever just go neutral?
