Are movies being removed from Netflix streaming?
|
I swear movies I have seen on there before are no longer available. I am not talking about new releases either. Movies like Blazing Saddles...
If this continues, I see less and less reason to stay with Netflix. I now have to resort to torrenting these...

Trying to get someone to help me but the NPC thinks there is already someone following me? Help =[
|
So I play Skyrim on Xbox 360 and when I ask this NPC to come help me they say "It looks like someone is already following you" when there definitely isn't. I'm not sure if this is related to early in the game I had this girl from Dragonsreach follow me around and help me. I think she eventually got killed or something because she stopped following me even though I never dismissed her. I just want to be able to have people come help me. Any ideas or similar experiences???

Issue with "password stealer" malware.
|
My university has recently blocked my IP address due to a malware that they identify as a "password stealer". The weird thing is that I have used Security Essentials, Symantic Anti-Virus (garbage, but used it just to scan to make the school happy), and Malwarebytes to no avail. I cannot find this "password stealer."
The other weird thing is that they "caught" this on a day that I was away from school on vacation. I'll give them a call tomorrow as the email suggested, but I really want to just fix it on my own.
My computer is an HP Envy 14, i5 580m, 8gb ram with a Win7pro and Win8cp dual boot if that matters.
What other ways can I go about to see if this truly exists?

Vintage-Style Japanese Naval Pilot Watches
|
Hi! I saw this thread on /r/malefashionadvice a few weeks ago, and the minimalist, Nautical style of the watch *really* caught my eye. It's a so I went off some of the info in the comments and did a little research on how to acquire a piece similar to one of these.
The watch from that thread seems to be called a T1-698 Naval Air Squadron, one of several variants from a line of remakes in styles of Japanese Navy officer's watches.
It's available on a Japanese website called Rakuten.
This is the most official-looking vendor, but I've found a few of these styles elsewhere on the site. Looks like it's a news bulletin, not an actual merchant listing, so I couldn't find it on the English site.] (#50). There's so more info on the different styles [here. From what I can gather, it's become somewhat of a pop culture thing in Japan lately.
Here's one on the Japanese Amazon
Here's some of the other listings on the English Rakuten:

I Am In Need Of Assistance Formatting A Epub File to Display Properly On A Nook Color/ADE Reader.
|
**If you know of some ereader/epub/fixed-layout forums that have good info, I would appreciate the link.**
I've created an Epub file in Sigil that contains background images with text on top of them. The images display properly in the Sigil viewer, Kindle Previewer, and Calibre Viewer. They do not display properly in the Nook Color or the Adobe Digital Edition Viewer. I know the Nook uses ADE and it displays the files differently for some reason, but I can't track down any information about how to account for the differences and correct them. Here's what they look like:
Sigil Displaying Pic and Text 1of2

Nook for PC Displaying Wrapping Text 1of2

I've exhausted my Google-Fu abilities and the closest I came to an answer was a blog post on how to center images and text on ADE readers, any help would be appreciated.

Trans people of reddit, any advice for a friend of someone coming out?
|
To shed a bit of light on it, a good friend of mine a year ago told me he was transgendered. Going into sixth form now(kind of like advanced high school) he's thinking of coming out and wearing womans clothing. I find this awesome, but i've recently find out that he's quite afraid, and has been putting it off again and again(he wanted to originally at the start of the summers holidays, but kept on putting it off)
So how could i help him? He's a really nice guy, and i'd hate for him to be bullied about it.(I'm obviously going to stand up for him, but i think that's only a part of the problem)

Civic Hybrid 2003 manual, no longer shifts into gear but will barely crawl if I stay on the gas? What happened!? (x-post)
|
I drive a Honda Civic Hybrid 2003 manual transmission, 175k miles, and believe me when I say it has been taken care of like a BABY! Dealer maintained since it was new.
That being said, I've never done any work on the transmission. There was little sign this problem was setting in, but it would start to slip out of gear as I was going along the road with my foot on the gas, more often under a load like uphill or something.
Today, It won't even settle into gear. If I shift into reverse, and almost FLOOR it, it will slowly start to creep. If I shift to any forward gear, it will do the same thing except forward, I can't gain speed and it maybe crawls at 5 mph.
My lack of experience with manual transmission function and repair leaves me completely confused on what to do and what is likely wrong. Maybe I have to rebuild the clutch? Could I probably do that? I've got mechanical experience, I'd be confident to try if you guys think I could.
Thanks for the advice guys!

What's so good about romance and love?

I honestly don't see what's so good about it. I see all these couples walking everywhere, and it gets kind of annoying seeing them hold hands, kiss, etc. I've done both of those things before and they aren't that great. As long as I have a good job and come home to a beer, I think I'm good for romance or love.

Walking Dead and expired playstation plus

Ok hopefully somebody can clarify this for me.
I has PS+ and downloaded Walking Dead Ep 1&2. I beat them both then bought Ep3.
Then my PS+ subscription ran up and could no longer play Walking Dead, even though I had bought Ep 3.
I still have Walking Dead installed on my PS3. If I buy a new subscription to PS+ then will I be able to pick up on episode 3 AND still have my saved data from ep1&2 carry over?

[Suggestion] Minecraft goes nuclear
|
Make Minecraft have nuclear power! [Warning: possible inaccurate science ahead]
What we could do is make yellowcake out of glowstone and redstone, like:
](/glowstone) [](/redstone) [
](/redstone) [](/glowstone) [ crafts: 1 yellowcake
](/glowstone) [](/redstone) [
Note: replace the glowstone blocks with glowstone dust
The yellowcake could be used to power redstone circuits longer than the usual 16 blocks to make an off-site nuclear plant. Maybe (since we're getting trip wires), craft gold wire for longer transmission than redstone trails. (Unrelated suggestion: gunpowder trails).
To balance the powering abilities, the yellowcake could explode if damaged my mobs.
Finally, we could build a nuke by surrounding a yellowcake with either 8 TNT.

I'm just worried about nutrition and getting him started (how to wean him onto it without upsetting his tummy). So do any of you feed your dogs a BARF diet? If so any tips?
He is a 6 month old Miniature Schnauzer.
EDIT: Sorry BARF stands for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food or Bones and Raw Food. It just means not giving them flavoured cereal and giving raw meat, veg and other natural food substances.

When I was tutoring, the kid wanted to be done studying after 15 minutes. I saw the bop-it and told him if he could get 3 commands that we could be done and spend the rest of the time playing games.

Guild Wars 2: Not as good as GW1....
|
So I have been playing GW2 quite a bit and cant shake the feeling that GW1 is better in so many ways. Granted it is now an MMO so it may be comparing apples to oranges but still.
I miss the dual class system with the skills customization you get. 2 classes plus combining your 8 skills used to give nearly limitless combinations of builds, plus builds that get geared for certain tasks. I feel builds now are much more limited. Skill hunting was a big part as well.
The PvP feels Ok but nothing that stands out. I dont find myself drawn to it like I was in GW1.
The questing system is definitely a plus. For an MMO I find it much better than the standard balloon over an NPC's head questing. With the events around the world makes questing fun.
The story I dont find engaging, and doesnt seem to have any real direction. Gameplay isnt enough to stand out from every other MMO out there.
Anyway those are my two cents. Guild Wars 1 was and still is one of my favorites of all time, and I was anticipating more from GW2.

Visual inspiration. Has anyone tried sequencing video clips from their favourite movies as inspirations for tunes?
|
I've been trying to think up new ways to inspire and motivate myself to write new music and learn new techniques. Inspiration is by far my biggest challenge.
While watching movies there might be emotions, or scenes, or sound clips which give me a huge idea for a tune, but I can never seem to do it justice. It never translates. It happens more often than I like... This led me to the following idea:
- produce music to clips (video only) cut from a movie and composed in a sequence roughly matching the length and progression of a track
For example, I might use one of my favourite movies, Sunshine.
I might take a relatively peaceful 10-20 second clip of the ship flying through space, and loop that for just over a minute (common dnb intro length). Then I might use a couple clips in loop from an action part of the movie for the main body of the song, and then another space shot for the breakdown at the end.
This wouldn't be for a video clip or anything. Just inspiration for production. You could use a video plugin (like Fruity Video in FL Studio) to show the clip during playback.
Bam, instant visual inspiration.
Has anyone tried anything like this before? Any success with it? Any thoughts?

Has anyone ever bought anything(camera/lens) from UK where the seller uses a "transport company"?
|
I am getting a good deal on a Leica M6. The seller is in England and this was an ad he posted in kijiji (It's a Canadian version of Craigslist but a bit more reliable(?) for those who do not know) while he was in Canada. Anyway, he said he will use a "professional transport company" to deliver the camera to me. I would have to pay the company when I get the package and I have 10 days to keep it or get a refund. He assumes all shipping charges including possible return. It sounds too good to be true but the deal is very good if it's true. Anyone has any experience/thoughts to share?

[4th]Pokemon pearl cartridge was stolen, looking for some help to rebuild my dream team. LF Snorunt
|
Hey /r/pokemontrades! Recently, I was unfortunate enough to have my pokemon pearl cartridge stolen (from who I'm 99% sure was my pesky nephew who lives across the province), and have lost my dream team who has stuck with me for the last couple months. Luckily, I still have my Heart gold cartridge, and am looking to start a new team on that game. My dream team consisted of:
Lapras
Meganium
Charizard
Gliscor
Froslass
and the last slot is for any pokemon I run across on my adventure and feel suitable for my team. I need help transferring my existing pokemon from my heart gold of this game, to my new one (so I can keep the pokes that i've trained in this game)
Becuase I no longer have a sapphire cartridge either, I am unable to obtain a Snorunt for my Froslass, so I would also appreciate some help obtaining one.
A lengthy process, I know, but I would really appreciate the help. Thanks everyone :)

Just found out my gf's best friend got into a fight last night, and her bf didn't do shit.
|
Apparently my gf's best friend got into a fight. But I shall back-track for all fellow Redditors.
So said friend lives in this nice, new house w/ her bf (couple A). Big ass house, her bf lost his 1 of 2 jobs and to make up for the difference in bills, they let another couple (B) move in...
Fast-forward 2 months. So argument from Couple B has started that their part of the bills ($400 combined) is too much. Amidst drinking last night, dude from B starts bullshit, only to have chick from A arguing that they're paying a fair share (and they are)... Until said dude, proceeded in drunken anger to hit her in the face w/ a beer bottle. But apparently she fucked his face up after the bottle incident.
Neither of the opposite SO's did jack shit, except let them fight.
Now, I, the bf of my gf's best-friend (the one who got hit with the bottle) sit in unrest. I COULD go over there and beat some ass. But because of the situation (I have a family), cannot.
Why her bf didn't stand up for her. He's on probation, and smokes "spice"... a lot. I also don't know the other couple, except stories in which they're both douchebags. But I ask you, fellow Redditors. Wtf can I do?

Is the streaming community of Dota2 saturated yet, or are you interested in more?
|
I have tried my luck streaming LoL with some success, for what it's worth I got 6-7 viewers after a few days.. but competition in LoL is hard, and I realized I don't even want to compete with the established names. I want to watch them instead, haha!
I have this really lofty goal of trying to help people. I want to attract positive and helpful people and play with them, and make them come together in the - sometimes - hostile world of MOBA games. I dislike being preachy, and I believe the only way to inspire people is to lead by example. So I try to be a nice guy. So if I can accomplish this by streaming, that's what I want to do.
I believe Dota2 will grow immensely over the next years. LoL will stagnant as it can only go so far, especially since Riots financial strategy is inherently broken in regards to balancing a game for tournament and competitive use - spamming out inbalanced champions for maximum profit at regular intervals. In the end, this will be their undoing. Here, Dota2 has a final and set amount of heroes which can be balanced and tuned and make a very good game. Valve is also a company I respect immensely and I want to support them.
So, I want to be part of this current and coming growth.
Problem is, I am a complete noob at Dota2. My stream would primarily be catering to people like me who wants to learn the mechanics and the heroes. It would be really fun to play with some more skilled people, talking over skype/vent/mumble/etc, to learn together.
Would there be any interest in this type of stream? I have decided nothing yet really.

Telephone scam: the "Energy Research Department of Canada" offers you a device to measure "overpayment" on you energy bill, and you only have to pay a $200 deposit!
|
Just got a call from a private number. The person on the other end said they were calling from the "Energy Research Department of Canada," about our Hydro bill. He told me we were overypaying our hydro bill by up to 40% and in order to get that money back, he would send us a device that could be plugged into any outlet to determine how much energy we're being "overcharged" for.
Now, we're in Quebec, so everything about this sounded funny from the beginning, but I kept him talking. He said his organization wasn't affiliated with "any private company or provincial hydro service," so I asked him whether it was a part of the Federal Government of Canada. He said it was. I said what part of it, and he said, "Our department is the Energy Research Department of Canada."
Then he told me that it wouldn't cost me anything, only a "refundable" $200 deposit. I said, "Listen, I'm not giving you any money. Can you give me the number where I can reach your office and information about where you're located?" He said, "Just one moment, sir," and transferred me to someone who claimed to be his supervisor. This guy gave me the same line.
I said, "Listen, you know and I know that you're running a scam here, so all I want to know is who you people are and where you're operating out of" (not really expecting a response, but also too irritated to bother being polite). I could hear the guy on the other end of the line literally start to laugh (!?!) and he hung up on me.

What I have learned in my first week of keto, so you don't make the same mistakes!
|
**READ THE FAQ, AND KETO IN A NUTSHELL IN THE SIDEBAR ON THE RIGHT!**
* **SERIOUSLY COUNT YOUR CARBS.** Even if you are using MFP (liquidefex-add me!) You will not realize how many you are accidentally eating. I just realized that instead of eating around 18 carbs I day I was eating around 40. ^shit.
* **Be careful working out.** The first time I went to work out, I went on a bike ride that was about an hour long, I was not going too fast but I hit a wall about 45 minutes in and overate the minute I got home, then immediately slept for 3 hours. You will need to learn your new body before you start exerting yourself the same way you used to.
* **Maintain a caloric deficit if you want to lose weight.** This diet is pretty amazing, but if you eat 5000 calories a day in meat and cheese, you will not lose weight. Figure out your Base Metabolic Rate (what you need to eat to maintain your current weight doing zero exercise) and then eat fewer calories than that.
* **Buy Ketostix.** It is really fun to pee on a stick, watch it turn a shade of purple, and have tangible evidence that what you are going through is working. Its awesome! **EDIT** They are not necessary to the diet, I just enjoy data and they aren't too expensive so I picked them up.
* **BE PATIENT.** I bought a scale that measures body fat, BMI, water %, bone mass and even my weight, and when I don't see the numbers change I take solace in the fact that I am saving money on food and I feel substantially better. **Every. Single. Day.**
Feel free to ask questions AND share your own mistakes. Lets make this super accesible for people who want to try it and succeed!
KCKO
EDIT
* **DRINK A FUCK TON OF WATER.** I can't believe I forgot to mention that initially, I drink somewhere in the ballpark of 140-160oz of water every day, and that is when I am not exerting myself heavily. That translates to 12-22oz over a gallon every day.

What the HELL is with websites not having pictures of people wearing the clothes?
|
Three jackets I'm very interested in (though I've seen many, many more) have pictures of the jacket on their website, but *no one wearing it.* I understand that having someone wear it means having a model, but none of these companies aren't exactly high fashion, so honestly just some guy who doesn't have some horrific facial disfigurement would do.
* 1
* 2
* 3
I don't think it's asking that much. Here is an example of how simple it is. The guy clearly isn't that built, and probably not a crazy expensive model. It doesn't even have his face in it! He's just some dude wearing the damned jacket.
Unless they're actively trying to hide something, it seems like a bad business plan to me. You hire a guy once (or even use some guy from your company), have him put on each item once, take pictures. If one of those jackets (well, between (1) and (3) anyway) had a model and the other one didn't, there's a very good chance I would buy the one that had a picture of it on someone.
tl;dr: Clothing website owners: have goddamn pictures of people wearing your clothes.

Question about soundproofing a house
|
Hey Reddit,
So a few friends and I just moved into a rather small house nearby our school, and two of us are in a band (guitar and drummer). When we met our neighbors, the first thing they asked was if we would be their "new quiet neighbors" (assholes right?). Well, I know we are going to be loud, and I want to avoid as much noise conflict as possible, so do you have any tips of soundproofing a room (or two)? Our walls are red wood, and they probably have thin insulation if that helps give a picture.
TL;DR: Drummer and I live next to quiet neighbors, need tips on soundproofing

Are there any other alternatives?

2. How long should I cut my poi at? I have it about from my chest to my arm completely stretched out. It still feels a litte long though, but I'm scared of cutting it too short.

[Updated To] Have test page, looking for feedback. Niche supplement concept.
|
Hi all, a while ago I asked this subreddit for some advice on my test page and concept. And I got some great feedback!
I also ran a promo on the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu subreddit, to test the concept:
Got more good feedback, and partially validated the concept.
I'd say the number one advice was from generationfourth: "Yeah man, the site, logo and all graphics need to be thrown away. Hire a designer."
So, I was ready to invest some more $$ in the concept. I hired a designer (and a doctor to help me improve the formula).
Here is (close to) the finished product and I'm ready for your criticism again!! --
Especially looking for: * ways to improve copy * feedback on design * issues with navigation * feedback on the concept * general love or hate
Also, if anyone has questions on how I got to this point, and what my plans are going forward, I want to help other aspiring entrepreneurs!
TL;DR - Built a website for my first product, let me know how much it and the idea sucks --

How can I check CS:GO's performance on my PC without buying it outright?
|
As an avid fan of the original CS (since Beta 5!), I have an extraordinary amount of nostalgic excitement for the release of CS:GO tomorrow. As such, I want to pay it proper respect and play it on PC just like I did over a decade ago.. but it'll be awhile before I get my gaming rig. Thus, I'm relegated to my mediocre laptop until then. If need be, I'll just buy the game for PS3 but is there any way for me to check how it will look/run without buying it, realizing it won't run good, then buying it again for PS3? There's no PC demo or anything of the like that I am aware of.
FWIW, I can run TF2 just fine. Canyourunit says I pass the minimum requirements with flying colors - but I'm still uneasy. I know the game is only ~$15 but potentially paying that twice is not a fun outlook for a broke law student.
Specs:
Intel Core i3 @ 2.26ghz
4gb RAM
Win7 64-bit
GeForce 310M @ 512mb
Thanks in advance /r/gaming! GOGOGO!

A question about Ableton CPU usage.

Sometimes, after having Ableton open for a little while, CPU usage starts to go over 100% and the audio clips, but only for a couple seconds after I press play, then it sinks back down to normal levels. Can anyone explain why there is this spike in CPU usage, and/or any ways to remedy it? Or do I just need a faster processor?
EDIT: I know it's because I have a lot of tracks/plugins working simultaneously, I'm just wondering why it spikes but is then able to drop again to normal levels, why isn't it able to stay at normal levels?

How do I strengthen my muscles while minimizing weight-gain?

I'm a 15 y/o male, and I do high school wrestling, currently in the 54 kg (~119 lbs) weight class (my actual weight fluctuates between 53.5 and 55.5). I'm trying to improve my strength, but if possible I want to stay under 57.5 kg (~127 lbs) by next season (am I still growing a little bit, I don't actually expect to gain 8 lbs of muscle by working out for a couple of months). What are some general tips for building muscle strength and/or endurance with relatively low weight-gain? General advice as well as specific exercises would be appreciated, thanks!

Looking for advice about day trips out of Fes, Marrakesh and Casablanca - and your thoughts about driving
|
I'm going to be taking a trip in 3 weeks - flying in to Casablanca, with time divided between Casablanca, Fes and Marrakesh.
I've done my research and read a lot online about these cities, and am looking for some good day trips to explore Moroccan's more rural life (along with the cities, of course).
I'm pretty contented with the advice that says not to both with driving inside cities, and to stick to petit taxis, but I'd like some advice about taking day trips, and which ones you may recommend.
Keeping in mind the time of year I'm visiting (December), this is what I have in mind:
- from Fes, visiting Chefchaouen
- from Casablanca, visiting Oualidia (oysters!)
- from Marrakesh, visiting Setti-Fatma, Aït Benhaddou or Ouzoud Falls
I am interested in seeing the desert, but less sure of whether that's feasible from where I'll be located.
I'd like to know if renting a car and a day trip by car is worthwhile, or going to be a collosal mess with (i.e. insurance, etc).
Thanks in advance for your help with this! I'm excited to visit this beautiful place! (And will post pics when I'm back, if interested).

Camomile and Chrysanthemum teas?
|
Hey guys, been a lurker for a while and this is my first post! Anyone else here a fan of either camomile or chrysanthemum teas?
So I've always enjoyed camomile and chrysanthemum teas, however I never noticed until recently that the two are very similar (taste, smell, appearance). I was buying the dried flowers to add to teas to make my own blends, and camomile flowers really just looked like the buds of chrysanthemums. I did some research and found that the 2 are of the same species of plants. I was also speaking to my grandfather (85 y/o, Chinese) and he said there is no difference between the two, and that they are the same.
Anywho, does anyone know of a strong difference between the two? Benefits of one over the other?

How much time needs to elapse before a tomb/grave can be dug up for historical/archaeological research?

There is no /r/askarcheologists so I'm posting in the next best place.
It seems to me that few people object to digging up 4000 year old Egyptian tombs or 800 year old Viking burial grounds. But what about more recently history - is there some code of ethics in archeology that says a grave site needs to be more than X years old before one can dig it up? More generally what is the process of petitioning against digging a site? eg, if the 800 year old Viking grave belonged to my ancestor, could I prevent it from being dug up?

Is there any harm in using a graphics card in two separate computers?
|
A simple question, really-- just as the title states. I currently have a PC that, while could easily see some better upgrades, suffers in PC gaming due to its lack of a graphics card. It relies on integrated graphics from the motherboard and therefore isn't exactly capable of running much of anything better than Half Life 2 (and barely even that). I've been looking at a nice graphics card that I plan on installing into this computer, but I also plan on using it for another PC I plan on building in the somewhat-near future. Simply put, could anything go wrong in doing this? Sorry if it's a stupid question, I just want to be safe.

The Dutch selection for the match against England.
|
As there was a thread about the players who had been selected for England I thought it would only be right to have a same one about the Dutch squad.
So here they are:
**Goalkeepers**: Tim Krul (Newcastle United), Maarten Stekelenburg (AS Roma), Michel Vorm (Swansea City).
**Defenders**: Khalid Boulahrouz (VfB Stuttgart), Jeffrey Bruma (Hamburger SV), John Heitinga (Everton), Joris Mathijsen (Málaga), Erik Pieters (PSV), Ron Vlaar (Feyenoord).
**Midfielders**: Mark van Bommel (AC Milan), Urby Emanuelson (AC Milan), Nigel de Jong (Manchester City), Stijn Schaars (Sporting Lissabon), Wesley Sneijder (Internazionale), Kevin Strootman (PSV), Rafael van der Vaart (Tottenham Hotspur), Georginio Wijnaldum (PSV).
**Forwards**: Klaas Jan Huntelaar (Schalke 04), Ola John (FC Twente), Luuk de Jong (FC Twente), Dirk Kuyt (Liverpool), Luciano Narsingh (SC Heerenveen), Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Arjen Robben (Bayern München).
Injured but otherwise would probably have made the cut: Ibrahim Afellay (FC Barcelona), Gregory van der Wiel (Ajax).
Defense has me worried and the standard midfield of van Bommel (getting old) and Nigel de Jong (not a starter anymore) also. Robben and Sneijder are out of form, van der Vaart has had a lot if injuries.
But putting a good goalkeeper on won't be a problem and with RVP and Huntelaar there is a lot of potential up front, but they need others to get the ball there.
The Dutch will be sporting their new away kit for this match:

We need help getting this cat healthy please any tips?
|
Last night my boyfriend and I went to a friends house and he told us that he was getting rid of his cat Princess this weekend. I was horrified to hear that he was going to drop her off at a farm and both my Boyfriend and I decided we can't let him do that. So we took her home. Now, this cat has had problems at his house for as long as I've known him (about 3 1/2 years). The problems come and go (they are worse in the summer) where she loses fur and scratches and itches a lot making sores in many spots. He tried bombing the house and giving her flea baths because we are almost positive that was the problem. His apt is very small, and being a single man its not the cleanest place either. So put to and two together, the cat wasn't ever able to stay healthy. We can't keep the cat for too long, maybe a week or two at best but we woudl like to get her in healthy standings for whoever I may get to take her. Anyone have any tips on getting her healthy? She needs to fatten up some (his other cat previosuly would steal her food all the time so she didn't get to eat a ton as it was) and I was wondering if there is a specific brand of food that would help with that. Also, with the scabs and few sores she has, what would you reccommend? Is there a certain shampoo, or medicine that can be bought at a pet store? We cannot afford to get her to a vet and I will be letting anyone who is interested know what she will need to go to a vet as her shots may need to be updated. I don't know if anyone will be kind enough to take her in and care for her but I hope someone does. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Also, she does NOT like to be bathed. lol we learned that the hard way last night when we got her home. Washed her with dawn as we didn't have any animal safe shampoo. Please help us out as I love this cat and wish I could keep her but the house owner says no. Here are a few recent pics of her:
(her cuddling up to me)

This sub is awesome! I've been dying for a zombie 'Alice in Wonderland' piece.
|
I want all the crazies in there... The mad hatter, the cat, alice (of course).. All zombied out. I've always had an image of Alice holding a teddy bear with the head in one hand and the body in the other with a crazy look in her eyes... And I want the quote "we're all mad here" in there. If anyone does this I will seriously buy you something, or make you something... Anything!

Please put the location in the title of your post
|
I know a lot of people do this already, but I wish it were more standard that the state or general area was always included in the title of the post. I may not notice every RBI on my front page, but I will definitely notice if it has my location in the title. I'm guessing this is true for most people. Maybe this has been mentioned before. Maybe it could go on the sidebar to remind people. I just think it'd help.

Wikipedia's definition of anime has beed edited. We must act now to prevent the perversion of the word.
|
It has come to my attention that the anime wikipedia page has changed it's definition. The new definition is:
>In English-speaking countries, anime refers to a style of animation originating in Japan, characterized by colorful graphics and often featuring themes intended for an adult audience.
They took this definition from The American Heritage dictionary, which is written by people who have no idea what they are talking about.
We cannot let this stand. We all must rise up to protect the purity of anime and get this change revoked so it will stop misleading people as to what really is considered anime. If we don't act, the consequences will be devastating.

My friend is using the account 'jordanvanle' until he can buy an account. Any chance he can be unbanned? More info below
|
My friend, Eaogrim cannot afford an MC account right now, and this account was recently used in a spam attack. It is a legitimate person playing behind this account and I was wondering if he could be unbanned so he can play.
ETA: He wasn't banned by a deathban, the account was manually /ban'd in a spam attack.

GW2 in favour of Amd or Nvidia GPU's?
|
Hi, I'm planing to buy a new pc next month and with the upcoming gw2 release in mind I wonder if gw2 favours amd or nvidia gpu's? I know the difference is not huge but there are always games which favour one or the other gpu. For example bf3 runs better on nvidia gpu's and crysis:warhead runs better on amd gpu's.

How can one profit on the knowledge of when oil can be traded for non-USD like Yuan or Euro?
|
Right now oil can be only traded for USD. If someone knows when this will change, how can he cash in on his knowledge?

I have all kinds of cool audio ports on my motherboard but I'm not sure how to use them?
|
Okay so my Asus P8Z77-v pro has all these audio ports, 6 colored ports (one doubles as headphone jack, the other microphone jack) but I'm not sure how to use them to output to an audio receiver and what kind of audio receiver I'd need? There is also an optical digital output but as far as I know that's outdated and HDMI is more advanced than that. So that leads to another question, should I avoid all these outputs all together and run everything through an HDMI to a receiver?
What exactly does the motherboard itself do, as far as audio, does it decode?
I have 5 speakers + sub, they can be wired with regular speaker wire and they're pretty good.

ELI5: Why do humans have lips?
|
Why do humans have significant/protruding lips and other species have little to none? What purpose do they serve beyond assisting with making sounds for speech?

Any motorcycle riders want to teach a noob to ride? $ or free beer.
|
I'm a scooter driver looking to upgrade to a starter motorcycle in the next month or so. I already have my SC motorcycle permit, but I don't know how to work a bike's manual transmission. I have this whole weekend free and would love to give you a little cash or a lot of beer in exchange for an hour or so of riding lessons. Thanks and stay safe.
Edit: All I have is a scooter right now, which I am fine riding. I need someone who doesn't mind letting someone mess around with a bike they have, which is tough. I understand if you aren't that person. :)

I would like to thank awana56 and the rest of the reddit community for the valentines give away!
I spent Valentines with my two dogs and we had a blast. While I didn't give them the pizza, they did have some of the crust!
