I want to do a music related science project for school, but can't think of anything. Anyone have any ideas?
|
So today we were assigned to do some sort of scientific testing for a school project. Since we allowed to do so on any topic of our choosing, I was wondering if you guys had any sort of interesting ideas that link music and science. Anything would be awesome! Thanks.

Things you can make with animal hide etc?

Hey guys,
What are some of the things you can make with the non-meaty parts of animals you've killed? I'm thinking along the lines of clothing and accessories you can make with furs and pelts, and with feathers.

Forbidden office crush: eye contact flirting. What does it mean?
|
I have a crush on an office mate. I'm 34F, he's the same. We never talk because we are both so busy. We don't even say hi to each other on a regular basis. But when I do run into him in the hall his body language makes me feel like he's into me.
He makes intense eye contact. Sometimes he leans in. Sometimes he's nervous, but he's really into what I'm saying. And he pays attention to the details of my interests. We've had a total of 3-4 conversations in a few months of knowing each other. I've rarely ever seen him talk to anyone outside of work-related topics.
Office dating does not happen where we work because it's a pretty serious environment.
Questions: Is he into me? Should I pursue this even though it's not cool to date in our office?

Is there reasonable any way to play Civ 5 cooperatively?
|
This is probably going to be a stupid question, but it's a very frustrating situation and I am not sure if there is a solution.
My housemate and I have been playing Civ5 multiplayer recently. Unfortunately, it seems like cooperative multiplayer is completely unworkable. Is this actually the case? Are we missing something?
2v1v1v1v1(etc) games aren't any challenge at all, obviously. You get double science production and steamroll all AIs. Next.
2v2v2v2(etc) games seem to be fundamentally broken. Whenever we try, we get into an odd situation where war is impossible:
1) The strong half of team A will declare on the weak half of team B
2) Immediately after, the weak half of team A will surrender to the strong half of team B
We played through an entire game without a single war that lasted longer than one turn due to this. It didn't work well.
1v1v1v1(etc) games are just frustrating, because there's no real sense of cooperation and no way to share science. Since I've been playing Civilization for years but my housemate is new to it, this just leads to awkward situations where I do far better.
Is there *any* way to play Civ multiplayer without having one of these problems?

Does anyone else get spammed with "Pillow Fight with a Sim" wishes?
|
It's gotten really bad for me. For awhile, it was just after a second after denying the wish that it would come back, but now it's impossible for me to get to any other wishes if I deny the Pillow Fight wish because it comes back too quickly. I don't know why I get spammed with it, and using ResetSim doesn't work :(

How can you efficiently raise the periapsis of a hyperbolic orbit?
|
This hasn't been as much of a problem since the introduction of patched conics, but I'm still interested in it from a theory perspective.
Suppose you're coasting towards the mun with the intention of establishing an orbit. When you enter the SOI, you find yourself on a course that intercepts the surface.
Normally, you'd thrust prograde to raise the periapsis, but that feels inefficient, here, since you already have escape velocity.
Is there any way to transpose the orbit with a vertical (away from Kerbin) burn?

Birmingham AL vs Chicago IL for Grad School
|
I'm going to grad school this fall in either Birmingham or Chicago. I liked University of Alabama, it's cheaper and it has the higher ranked program, but I'm wary about the urbanity of Birmingham.
I can see how it is nice, convenient, and affordable place for a student. Is it a cool city or is it a big suburb? Like is there much of a scene in Birmingham, or is it mostly Nickelback and Applebee's? I'm looking for a place with good food, music, people, in a nice bike-friendly city.
Thanks everyone!

First Earth June Newsletter
|
"New Funding and New Schedule"
Dear Future First Earth players,
This newsletter is a more personal update about the game's progress, from me, Adam Thompson, the owner and developer of First Earth.
= Executive Summary =
Development on the game slowed in May and June because I ran out of money. I now have a steady income, so development will speed up again and be constant through release.
I am canceling the "May/June" public release deadline and promise. The new release date will be announced later; the new release date will probably be several months from now.
If you have preordered, thank you, and your preorder is still good. You'll be the first to play the game when we start public testing. If you preordered and you want a refund because of this delay I'm announcing, email me back and I'll refund you from my personal income within 1-2 weeks.
= The Long Version =
When I began working on First Earth in 2010, I funded development by doing freelance web consulting. Freelancing is stressful because its schedule and salary are unreliable.
In early 2012 I did a full-time push to try to finish and release First Earth. As you can see, we reached early alpha testing but not release. Preorders were good but weren't enough to cover my living expenses, and my web consulting income suffered from neglect.
Through April and May this year I worked to find First Earth $10K in startup funding from investors, with no luck. I decided that having a full-time day job would be better than freelancing for progressing on First Earth, so I found a local company I liked, applied, was hired, and started last week. I love the work I'm doing there, and the company is great.
It might seem like my having a full-time job would make it harder for me to work on First Earth. The opposite is true, because it's in place of freelancing. I was already working 15 hour days before, but freelancing made it hard for me to escape work - there was always more freelancing work to do, or people calling me, paying me late, and many other issues. All of that interrupted my game work. Now, with this new job, after I come home from work (and on weekends) I'm totally free to work on First Earth.
Anyway, this got pretty personal, but I wanted you to know why I'm sure that development will get back to normal again. Have a great weekend :) (Anyone else watching the MLG tournament?)
-Adam

Hello from r/Orlando looking for Liv nightclub advice.

My favorite Trio Krewella is going to be playing in Miami in early December. Being as finals are wrapping up my best friend and I are planning on seeing them at Liv. However after reading about the horrors of Liv and other various miami clubs I wonder if it will actually be worth it. My main concern is being allowed in since we both look like we are 17 (though legitimately 21) do doorman ever deny entry based on look? What should we wear? I'm assuming jean are off the table. Any advice would be helpful.

So I just had a flashback to when I went to my first temple dedication as a Deacon...
|
Of course at the time I bought into the whole, "this church is now an extension of the holy temple," BS. And I remember sitting through the whole thing and wondering why I was required to bring a white handkerchief. When David A Bednar took the stand and instructed us that we needed wave our handkerchiefs in the air back and forth and chant "Hosana, Hosana, to God and The Lamb," three times... I remember thinking to myself "WHAT?! That's what these are for?" I think that was the first time I started to understand I was part of a God Damn cult. Now as a freshmen in college, I have really grown to wonder how no one else in the church sees these things as, at the very least, extremely odd, if not absolutely ritualistic and cult-like. Anyone else have any similar experiences?

What netbook for travelling?
|
Hi all. I'm heading off to Europe this week, and I'm looking into a cheap netbook to take with me to Europe (as my laptop is both expensive and heavy). Anybody have experience with something in the sub $300 category that they'd be willing to recommend?
On that token, would I need a voltage adapter for travelling in mainland Europe, or would my plug adapter be enough?
**EDIT:** I suppose I should mention that I'm a writer, and one of the main purposes of this trip is to get away from all the distractions of daily life to actually get some writing done. So I won't be able to get away with just a smartphone, and a halfway decent keyboard is a must (though I can handle those little chiclet keyboards).

* $44 Dayton B652's]( ... [Why These Speakers
2.0 vs 2.1 you are missing the 4-6% of bass not capable of being reproduced with smaller drivers. You may not miss them. Depends heavily to what you are use to and the type of music you listen too.

Hey r/Tekkit, I'm going to start up a public Tekkit server. I want your opinions on how to make it perfect for you!
|
Hello r/tekkit! I'm making a new Tekkit server (Been playing a private one w/friends for a while, want more buddies in tekkit :D) and I want you guys to vote on exactly what you want it to be. I'm not going to make it an exact voting format, and I'm just going to guess that the top upvoted comment is the most preferred choice, but here's some "brackets" to steer you in the right direction.
I want you to explain your opinion about:
- PvP, PvE, Survival, Peaceful?
- EE2 disabled, lotta restrictions, or 100% on?
- Ranks to get higher tier equipment?
- What sort of "spawn" should there be? (I.E Player-made shops, public machines)
- Any other suggestions.
Thank you for reading this, you rock! Don't forget to comment with your opinions on this. An upvote for this would be nice too, since it is a self post and I get more Karma. I want this server to be perfect for you guys!
EDIT: Ok guys, I think I have a clue of what it's going to be!
It's most likely going to be PvP, with a random spawn into the world within a 7K block radius.
There will be a central spawn at 0,0 with machines, but it's a dangerous trip there.
Just thinking of some more stuff. Thanks for the feedback!

Question about engineers alchemy traits and elixer utilities.
|
Ok so in the alchemy tree there is a major trait called potent elixers which increases the duration of all elixers. My question now is how does this major trait effect elixer C which removes all conditions and turns them into boons? Also elixer R which breaks stun and removes one condition?
The only thing i could come up with was thinking that elixer C's boons would have increased duration and elixer R would remove one extra condtion. I havent been able to find out anything about it so far and was wondering if anyone had more knowledge about this?

To theists: God, Morality and Sin; just a question.
|
I'm mostly aiming this at those of Abrahamic faiths but other theists are welcome to express their own beliefs too.
**The question: How do God, morality and sin relate to each other?**
As a former Christian I was always dictated that morality derived exclusively from God. Assuming that, it follows that morality is simply whatever God wished. I thought of sin as being a formality of things that went against what God wished. Is this close to what the average Christian, Muslim, Jew and Bahá'í believe?

[TOMT]Old science fiction novel in which a group of people like Native Americans live in a valley--but unknown to them, it's not earth, but the interior of a spherical spaceship[book]
|
They are being secretly observed by a group of technologically adept people who maintain the space ship. This is probably post-apocalyptic. The mission is to establish humanity on another planet after generations of space flight.
It turns out that the staff running the ship don't know everything either--when separation between the groups breaks down and they began intermarrying, the two groups are genetically programmed to together produce the generation of geniuses that will actually populate the planet they are headed for.
I was very young when I read this, and it was a very old book then. It was probably written in the 1950s or sooner.
Two images stand out. One, that when a renegade leaves the valley to explore, the mountains in the distance are actually close and each one smaller and smaller, until he can touch the curve of the ceiling with the sky painted on.
The other thing is that the technician population were very rigid and wore religious belts with spikes under their clothes to cause pain for penance. I'm betting there was a sexual element there I missed.

Do you speak the language of the country you're in with Erasmus?
|
I only speak English and some poor French. My University Erasmus page makes it clear that you don't need to know another language to take part, but when I met with my Erasmus adviser, he strongly advised against doing Erasmus without a 2nd language. He really discouraged me against the program for many reasons. I was planning to use Erasmus to improve my French or learn some Spanish.

Can anyone remember a cat and mouse puzzle/strategy game from the 90s?
|
It is a game I played as a child. It involves a puzzle where you need to create a way for the cat to get to the mouse, or for the mouse to somehow kill the cat. You start with a screen with a certain setup, and there are items you can put on the screen. Once you're satisfied with your setup, you can begin the simulation and the mouse and cat will react accordingly, e.g. if the cat sees a ladder it will run towards it, and if the mouse sees a block of cheese it will run towards it, hopefully initiating a chain reaction to complete the mission objective.
It is not rodent's revenge. The graphics are more cartoony.
If anyone has any idea of what this game may be, I would really appreciate it. My own searches have been to no avail.

Duel in the Dark missing pieces?
|
We recently bought the game Duel in the Dark from an online store. It was brand new and still shrink wrapped when we opened it. After putting the planes and clouds together I started reading the instructions to get an idea of how to play the game. In the walk through it shows a step where the British player picks a series of "Compass Cards" to determine the flight path of the bomber. I can't seem to find these cards anywhere and they aren't listed in section of the instructions that lists the game components. So, did we somehow get a game that is missing these cards or am I reading the directions wrong and they don't actually exist?
Thanks for any help or information. We really want to start playing this game and want to make sure we're doing it right.

What do I need to know about the yacht club near me?
|
I really want to learn how to sail (and though I wont be able to until summer, I'm asking now), and have done some research and found a marina and yacht club on the river not far from where I live.
They offer classes on both cruisers and dinghys (5 hour beginner class, 15 hour expert class, and 32 hour master class; dinghy is cheaper of course). First I was wondering which I should do. I'm leaning towards cruiser, b/c the eventual goal would be for me and my lady to go cruise around for a couple days or longer.
Also, what questions should I ask to make sure I want to go to this school? There are a couple others on the river, but this one had the easiest access to online information. Should I ask about what type of license can be gained? And if so, which are good ones to look out for?
Finally, since I have some time before I'll be able to sign up to learn, what can I do to prep? I found and will read up some basic stuff on there, and practice some knots. Anything else you'd recommend?
Cheers~

Why do I never see Nautilus?
|
All right, so I main as a jungler, and almost every game, I've been going Nautilus of late. And it confuses me. He's an incredible teamfighter, with his passive and his ult he peels like a boss, and with those same things, along with his Q as a closer, his ganks are very powerful.
And yet, even as I meet with a LOT of success using him (I'm in ELO hell at the moment, but I've been able to turn many a game around when all my lanes are losing), I never see him picked or banned. For such a strong tank and gank, he seems incredibly underused, from ELO hell up through tournament play.
Can someone explain why that is?

A good friend is apparently hooked on fake weed. His wife has left him, he's lost a bunch of money, and there's sign he's going to stop any time soon. Need advice.
|
Like the title says, a good friend of mine has recently (like, over the past 8-10 months) started heavily using that fake weed you can get at gas stations and head shops. I used to smoke regular weed with the guy from time to time, and he never seemed to have any problems with it, but late last year he started a new job that does random drug tests, and so he switched to the synthetic stuff so he wouldn't get busted. Apparently, the majority of the people he works with smoke the fake shit for the same reason.
It's gotten to the point where his wife has recently moved out, saying he's using the stuff so much he's not the same guy anymore. It's also worth noting that he and his wife aren't exactly rich, and he's apparently blown a BUNCH of money on it over the past few months.
I don't know the first thing about "spice" or whatever brand name it is that he uses, as I've pretty much stuck to the organic stuff myself, so I really don't know if it's even possible for it to have this type of effect on someone. I suspect he might be using other drugs (his wife apparently believes he's been smoking crack, but I don't think there's any substantiation to that whatsoever) and just telling people all these issues are due to the fake weed, but I really don't know one way or the other.
Can anybody with more experience with "spice" and other fake weed products weigh in on this?

Unavoidable MMO rage mentality and GW2.
|
Hey.
I am a veteran mmo player - I started with Lineage 2 (and was playing it for a long time). I have toyed with WoW but just to see what the game was about. And then I stuck with LoL (league of legends) since beta. I have played others but these would be the ones I have some insight.
I remember when we started L2, the community was amazing. Everyone was helpful and was trying to help each other, I think that is the case for most new mmo's. Same story with LoL. You start at the peak of human in-game goodness and end up in a place where the text written in all chat makes sense 25% of the time and even then it is an insult.
So when I was rolling with my ranger around GW2, reviving EVERYTHING the game would let me to revive, helping other players to complete skill challenges even if I had already done them etc.
And I was starting to wonder why em I doing this? And will I make this my gaming habit or it will fade and my new one word answer to everything will be "noob". So what I figured out is that GW2 is made with this in mind. You see there is NO rivalry between players on the same server. You do not gain anything by letting someone die or not helping others so YOU can advance faster. They will get to your point eventually and then what? You will show him the same weapon he got, only you got it 5min sooner?
The only place where competitive gameplay and rage usually pops up is in PvP. And in one case everyone has the same gear from lvl1 and your douchiness can't change that. On the other side you have WvW where you don't even fight your server but other's.
I soon came to conclude that the stronger my server is the better for me. And I will try to remember that as I play on. If there is someone pissing you off, help him. He probably just lost 1k elo in LoL and wants to rage, show him that this game is different.

What in the world is the point of friend zone oneitis... for the girl?
|
I don't mean for the guy. The neediness, lack of confidence and scarcity frame are the obvious explanations. What's the point for *the girl*?
This is from a more philosophical stand point, there's this video:
I'm pretty confident this is the case in most FZ oneitis situations -- the girls are fully aware that their supplicating beta friend zoner wants them bad. I'm pretty certain mine is, though I've never done the stupid "lay my feelings on the table" crap. But we've made out and let's face it: she knows it.
Assuming this is the case, what value do women gain from having him around? I usually cut ties with girls who want me "that way" when I don't reciprocate. But when I try to cut ties with my oneitis, she always comes back for more and persists in trying to hang out with me again. If I let it go for a while, she gets obsessive, even jealous of the girls I'm seeing. But if I make the mistake of indulging her we're right back where we left off -- I still want her, but I've not built the attraction. Is there an evolutionary value in maintaining an attraction that you know you'll never reciprocate? Is this just a thing a guy will never understand?
The only things I can figure is that it provides social proof for attracting more alpha guys (shows you're selected), or that it provides some kind of security -- like using guys for intimacy without sex in the way that some guys use girls for sex without intimacy?
I hate to confess that this arises because I've been lurking on /r/seduction for a while. Having done so, I've come to terms with the fact that I suffer a chronic case of the lame friend zone oneitis. It's bad: we've kissed a couple times, been friends for years, seen each other naked, but as you all know, I've fucked it up and BUILT NO ATTRACTION. It's even gone so far as to ruin relationships with various women I've attracted. Unhealthy. Anyway, I've made all the usual mistakes, but who cares? Lots of fish in the sea, she doesn't deserve me and is missing out because I'm MOVING ON.
I wish it was all my doing, but she also left the country like a week ago and I decided that NOW (and by that, I mean FOREVER AGO) is the right time to get this shit handled. I've started working out every day, got a hair cut, applied for better jobs, changed up my wardrobe, following the "Inner Game" advice on seddit and cold-approaching random "sets" in public places, even getting numbers and building attraction.

How does the ejaculate change after a vasectomy?
|
Hi meddit!
I was wondering on how the ejaculate changes after getting a vasectomy. Obviously, there shouldn't be any sperm come out anymore after the procedure is complete.
But what about other traits? Volume? Colour? Viscosity? Smell&Taste? Etc?
As I couldn't find much info on this online, I thought about asking you!
Personal anecdotes from vasectomised men welcome, too! :)
Thank you!

Family History of Prostate Cancer?
|
Like the title says, prostate cancer runs in my family. Since masturbation for the purpose of prevention is now off the table, does anybody have any tips? I'd ask a doctor if I had health insurance. Hell, the last doctor I told that I had a family history of prostate cancer asked how much I masturbated. I told him almost every day and he said that was healthy.

New: Defensive Gun Use Subreddit
|
Gunnit, help us keep tabs on the legitimate uses for guns. /r/dgu is a new subreddit for cataloging incidents of defensive gun use. We've already added a bunch of news articles to get things started. What we're looking for:
* Posts should primarily be direct links to news articles describing the incident.
* Articles regarding defensive gun use statistics are also welcomed, as are stories of DGUs gone wrong, or incidents where the defensive gun user had no business pulling the trigger.
* Copy the headline from the article. Don't make stuff up or editorialize.
* Note the city/state if it's not part of the article's title.
* Local news sources are best. If an interesting topic is discussed in a blog, HuffPo, AmmoLand, etc. look for the link to the original news article. Off-topic and opinion pieces will be considered for deletion.
If you happen to come across a story of a DGU in your daily browsing, drop by and post. We need as many contributors as possible to make this a viable go-to source for objective information on the use of guns to save lives.

Guys I really want to say something about gun "price gouging".
|
First and for-most I want to express my admiration for this gun community, and not being indoctrinated into the lies of the vast monopolized media complex. That tout that only government can have guns because they are our only "protectors", and we must act like defenseless citizens which would mimic the ideals of totalitarianism. You have seen past these lies and I see most of you eye to eye in this paradigm. And I truly praise this community of individuals for their constant philosophical vigilance, and understanding, with this issue.
However, do not blame the capitalists, businessmen, entrepreneurs in the gun industry for trying to profit, also known as "price gouging". Not only if you were in their shoes you'd do the same, but we must see why so many people are buying guns in the first place.
This all stems from the government's actions, and it effects the actions of human who would otherwise act differently if left unhindered in a free society.
They; the consumer, are buying out of the fear that the government will take the guns away. The gun industry which includes: Manufacturing, distribution, and sales, are licensed and monopolized by the government. Thus creating bearers to entry, which would otherwise provide competition to established businesses. This would ultimately drive the prices down, while simultaneous driving quality and innovation up.
Now, perhaps you are asking, "How is this possible?" It is simple, both the businessmen now, and the businessmen in the hypothetical unhindered markets both act in one similar way. They both are acting rationally self-interested. Get the government out of the way the businessmen will go back to how it used to be, serving you: The consumer.
**Note to the moderators**
Please if this goes in the realm of "politics" I understand your reason if you delete this, however. I would like to point out these following factors.
A: This does deal with guns.
B: This deals with economics, but the government is involved in planning there-for, I would wish it be so to choose to get rid of the "politics" in this issue.

Help me find legitimate archaeology that describes/validates/contradicts biblical history.
|
Hello r/atheism! My wife is going through a dilemma about the bible and its historical accuracy. After reading some surface level content (wikipedia) about how historically inaccurate the bible is compared to what archaeology has found, can you link us legitimate scientifically sound sources that pertain to the Biblical history? She is not interested in evolution or rhetorical disproving of God. She already believes evolution is correct, and ID is stupid. We're just talking about bones in the dirt here!
What she plans on doing is taking this information, reading it, and then taking it to her pastor to see what he has to say or if he is aware of the evidence. So give it your best shot.
Thanks!

Monday my best friend's son (like a son to me) almost died. The next day his newborn was admitted to the Children's hospital and on Wednesday my 17 year old daughter told me she is pregnant. Anyone else care to vent about a "hell week"?
|
So, yeah, a week-from-hell. I am hoping that posting here and reading other hell-week stories will help me take my mind off of the craziness that has been my life this week!
I am called other-mother by my best friend's son and daughter-in-law and I love them like they are my own children. Monday morning I get a call from my other-daughter that her husband will not wake up and can I come right away. She had tried calling my best friend, but she was not answering. As I am rushing there I am trying to call my best friend and finally get her to answer. Horribly, I had to tell her what was going on with her son. :(
I get to the house just as the EMT's are loading my other-son into the ambulance. We get the baby's things together and I drive them to the hospital. The EMT's radioed ahead to the hospital that he would be DOA, but amazingly they were able to revive him. Apparently he had a bad reaction to some new medication he was prescribed.
I took the baby home with me so that my other-daughter could stay at the hospital and care for my other-son. The next afternoon she came to get the baby (she was missing her terribly) so they could go home for a bit and nap. When they awoke late that afternoon, the baby was running 103.5 and she had a seizure. She rushed little one to the Children's hospital where she was promptly admitted. They diagnosed her with a raging kidney/bladder infection and kept her for observation.
The next day my 17 year old daughter tells me that she is pregnant. My ex is pushing her to have an abortion and that is not what she wants. She is trying to weigh her options but the baby's father has very strong opinions and is making them well-known. She is confused and scared and mad at herself for making such poor choices. I am disappointed and was mad for a minute, but I am trying to not to dwell on those feelings as it is pointless. What is done is done and now we have to do what is best for that little one and her feeling stress from my disappointment is not helpful. I still cannot help but mourn (in private) the loss/temporary setback of her life goals. She had been working so hard to get into a good college. :(
Yesterday both my other-son and his newborn were released with a good prognosis. My daughter saw a doctor and is on prenatal vitamins and I am going to be a grandma again in April of next year.
I am feeling better just having typed all this out. Thanks Reddit!
**TL;DR Kids having a rough week and I am trying to avoid a nervous breakdown!**

Bug: Cockpit free-look not working. Anyone else notice this ?
|
Holding the middle mouse wheel will let a pilot have a look around, but I've noticed that if you launch from the warpgate, your freelook will not work. I'm not sure if this is true for all craft, but it is for the Scythe at least... The problem can be fixed by ~~landing, bailing, and re-entering the vehicle.~~ entering 3rd person mode by pushing "T", then switching back to cockpit view.
Has anyone seen any mention of this bug anywhere else ? I'd really like it to get fixed, as it got me killed last night when I forgot to exit/enter before flying off into combat...

Weird new parking by-law in barrhaven neighbourhoods
|
If you live in barrhaven check the by-laws on parking on your street, as everyone in barrhaven knows it's extremely common to have people parking on the street due to their one car capacity of most of the driveways. As of yesterday if you are parked on the street for more then 3 hours you'll be fined upwards of 100 dollars. It's extremely unfair due to the capacity of the housing units driveways and the fact that most families in barrhaven own more then one car and are forced to park on the street. No other parking option is being made available by the city.

Winery Suggestions - Santa Rosa, CA and surrounding area
|
My friends and I are staying in Santa Rosa, CA for two evenings. I have a map of the surrounding areas including Kenwood, Glenn Ellen, and the Russian River Valley. Here are some of the wineries I have heard about from various websites and review sites: Russian Hill, Hook and Ladder, DeLoach, Siduri, Ledson, Mayo, Deerfield Ranch, Paradise Ridge, Kaz.
Are there ones from this list that are an absolute must and ones that should be avoided? What other wineries should we consider? Realizing that wine is a subjective matter, most of us have little experience in wine tasting. Thus, any place that is known for having great wine would be appreciated. Thanks.

Resonance Cascade episodes
|
I've gotten a lot of questions asking when a new episode of Resonance Cascade is coming out. I've been mostly silent on the issue since I feel about about the reasons why.
I'm usually somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to things like this. I've been feeling pretty down for various reasons and I feel like that would significantly impact the quality of the show.
I also wasn't particularly happy with 2x01. Partly from technical issues (pants kept flying off of guards), But I also don't feel that the main character(a srs bsns version of me) meshes all that well with outright comedic characters like Crumbleton and Vi. This was made worse by the structure of the show, I'm voicing Vi as well as myself, which means Vi's lines need to be planned out in advance but also somehow fit in with Crumbleton's adlib moments.
I've spent the last few months considering ways to restructure it to avoid the problems and have yet to come up with an answer. I **want** to do more episodes, but I also want to do them **right**.
**tldr version:** I'm sorry. I'm not sure how to proceed with the show. If I decide to abandon it I will release my five-season outline for the story.

I would like to experience design.
|
I'm a very visual person, yet I've always felt a shortage here in the things that I work on. Design is a subject that I've always been interested in, but have never pursued. I am a software engineer, so web design might be be a natural place to start. However, I would rather not restrict myself to any particular subfield. So, what do you feel is the best way to begin to experience design? My initial thought was to start with the fundamentals and take a drawing class, though I'm wondering if this will be too far removed. Any input is appreciated.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I live in NYC, so any local recommendations for classes or resources would be great.

I get an almost sexual charge from flossing certain teeth. What is going on?
|
Ok, so I am really embarrassed to ask this question, but I can't find an answer anywhere and I'm really curious as to what is going on and why. I hope this is the right spot for me.
Every time I floss, mainly between my two bottom teeth, my upper canines and my molars, I get an almost orgasmic sensation in my gums. I can only put so much pressure because it hurts if I do it too much, but the sensation is almost indescribable. I'll also pick at my gums sometimes as it sorta does the same thing. I know it's really strange and gross, but it feels amazing (up to a certain point, then it is just painful). I don't really know how to describe it other than it is similar to the sensation from an orgasm (though that is far more intense, but that is the best example I can really describe it with).
Also, I get a similar sensation when I push the edges of paper under my thumbnails. I've done this since I was maybe 3 or 4 years old, and again, I can do it until a certain point, then it is just painful. What the hell is going on with me? I've looked everywhere to try and figure out what causes it/why in those areas, but no luck. Thanks guys!

Question about ranked 3v3 teams.
|
I have a question about ranked 3v3 teams. Yesterday, my team and I got gold, but we have a couple new members. They only managed to play two games before we got gold. Do they need to play 5 games in order to get the gold for season 3? Do they have to be victories? Also, the team went inactive recently, and it doesn't show any of our recent matches. Do the games played (more than 5 total) still apply for the old members of the team? In other words, if I had played 5 games with the team, it goes inactive, and I play another after I get gold, I still get gold, right? Probably a stupid question, but I'd still like it answered :]

[Help] Got my first job but every time I think about going in on that first day I have a panic attack.
|
I'm 18 and just got my first job at Domino's. Every single time I think about going in to work I think about having to take orders and having people watching me make pizzas or whatever and I start crying and panicking. My heart is racing and my hands are shaking just thinking about it. I have enough issues just going to class and being in a room full of people. Now they're depending on me to do things and do them right while being observed. I know I'm going to shake and turn red which makes everything worse. And I keep thinking that if I make an appointment with a psychiatrist RIGHT THIS MINUTE I could maybe get in before I start and have them give me something to calm myself down. I've never taken anything for my anxiety before though. I just used to go to a psychologist and "talk it out" (even though that never really helped). I've even been thinking about just getting someone to give me Xanax but I know that's terrible to do and I wouldn't actually do it. I'm just desperate.
I don't know what to do and I start soon. I almost don't even want to go in but I have to.
Edit: I forgot to put the [Help] thing in the title. D: Oops. I guess this could be [Help] or [Rant]. I think I really need help though.

Are there any sensual spa treatments for couples in Las Vegas? Self-paced, behind closed doors, no therapist present...
|
My husband and I have been on a cruise a few times where there was a spa offering for couples that I truly loved. It was a treatment where we were given 1 hour behind closed doors (that we could lock from the inside), there were no therapists, but we had a steam room and a shower and a tile room all to ourselves with a buffet of upscale muds, creams, scrubs, body salts, lotions, etc.
The idea is that you lather each other up (naked, of course), with these fantastic muds, wait around till they dry a little bit (engaging in private escapades of your choice to pass the time) and/or spending time in the steam room to really get them to soak in and then taking turns washing each other off in the shower and then lathering each other up again with expensive creams and lotions and stuff.
It's so much fun and as erotic/sensual as you and your partner are willing to be with each other. I am looking for something equivalent in Las Vegas: a behind-closed-doors couples experience with no therapist present. Any ideas?

Does anyone get these occasional explosions of inferiority?
|
Who else knows what I'm talking about?
I've been having this feeling off an on for a couple years. It'll come by all of a sudden, seemingly at random, and leave me with crippling bouts of depression / contemplation.
The best way to describe them would be "inferiority explosions". They're like these horrible feelings of "what am i doing what am i doing what am i doing" that fill up the head and leave little room for focusing on whatever you were doing. This causes you to make small mistakes, which only fuel the "ohshitwhatamidoingwhatamidoing" feeling.
Sometimes it all balloons out and causes this feeling of being inferior that ends up lasting for days.
I never really wondered if they might be connected to being an INTJ. How many of us here get these on a regular basis?

In relation to the face vs. fitness thread, what about face vs. height?
|
Related to a similar thread here, I'm wondering about the relative importance of facial attractiveness vs. height. Especially so, since the top response in that thread is that you can change an unfit body but not an ugly face, which does not apply to height.
So, would you prefer a short man (say 5'5" or less) with an attractive face, or a tall man (whatever height you'd prefer most) with an unattractive face? What about short/attractive face vs. tall/neutral face? I'm aware of the implicit assumption that short is bad and tall is good embedded here, but it seems fairly common.
Ignore their character, I guess you could assume both have whatever you'd prefer most.

A little Advice: DO NOT ACT NEEDY
|
I ve seen many posts here about guys txting girls and txting them again after a certain amount of time passed and over thinking what they said and what they did.
Seriously dudes, Before you text her for the 2nd or 3rd time ( implying she hasnt replay any txt) think about it. Acting needy is THE WORST thing you can do, even if you havent gotten laid in forever, just dont do it. I know its hard when you like a girl and you want her to like you back and sometimes you dont know how to get her attention.You end up lowering yourself value without you being concious about it and it just sucks because at the end shes going to be less attracted to you. The point here is to feel comfortable around girls, comfortable enough to be yourself. Tell me, would you send multiply texts to your mother? sister? aunt? No you wont. The same with the ladies.
I m not pick up artist, i m learning like the rest of us and I TOO at one point was acting very needy, its hard i know, but for your own good: Think twice :)

"I will be paying by check as its the only way I can pay you at the moment. I will make arrangement for the pickup after payment have been received and cashed by you. I dont mind adding an extra $40 so you can keep it in my favor and I will so much appreciate it if you can have the advert taken down off C.L. and consider it sold to me. Reply with your name, address where payment will be sent, and your phone number. Warm regards."

My pump tubing got caught on a door knob this morning and got pulled and stretched pretty good. Now my post-lunch glucose numbers are a bit high and they're not moving with correction boluses.
Does anyone typically change their sites after they get yanked on and stuff like this?
**Edit:** thanks for all the responses. I had to change the site. I was in the 270s and the corrections were doing nothing so my door knob episode must have screwed the tubing. New site and my glucose is at 96 now.

Alright, time for the age-old question:
Unknown Pleasures(1979) vs Closer(1980)
|
I hear a lot off people say Closer is a more intimate experience, and it's a lot deeper and more beautiful. Although I do agree with this, I believe that Unknown Pleasures is an all-together better put-together album, and I catch myself listening to it quite a bit more. Peter Hook himself states that "Unknown Pleasures was Joy Division at its best", and that by the time Closer came around, they were too worried about Ian's health.
I vote Unknown Pleasures as better. I like it, the opening track, Disorder, is so good as an opener, and it has a strong mid-section, especially the 5th, 6th, and 7th tacks right after eachother (New Dawn Fades, She's Lost Control, Shadowplay). And it also, each song is a great song by itself.
Closer is a beautiful album when listened to as a whole, but each song really doesn't hold that much power on their own, although I do admit Twenty-Four Hours and Decades are really nice.
Thoughts?

How does your bodyweight affect a lift?
|
So I often see people remarking that they lifted x amount over their bodyweight, and use bodyweight percentages to judge lifts over say the actual weight being used.
I can understand this for low body fat people, the logic comes to me instantly, if they're 200lb of lean muscle they should be able to x times their weight in this lift because that means they've developed their strength in a balanced way, etc.
But as a 220lb, 20% BF man I don't understand why a 345lb (for reps) deadlift is less impressive for me than say a person with 12% BF at 194lb. I'm concerned that maybe these heavier deadlift, or benches, or squats are only because I'm a bit fatter than the other guy, and that's somehow allowing me to add more weight? If there's some truth in that then I'd want to know so that when I cut and see DRASTIC drop's in what I can do, I'll know why, instead of assuming that I did something wrong.
**TL;DR does me being fat make me able to put up more weight on the bar?**

Saved an old Dell XPS 700 from the recycle bin.
|
I just barely stopped a friend from recycling an Dell XPS 700 and now I want to get it up and running again, unfortunately I don't know quite enough to do this on my own. It doesn't have a hard drive, can anybody tell me what a good cheap hard drive for it would be? It has 2gb of ram and I would like to up it to 4gb but again I'm not sure what the differences between DDR3 and DDR2 are and if this machine is compatible with DDR3. I have no idea what graphics card it is using but from my limited knowledge it looks like there are two graphics cards. Any help at all with this project would be fantastic I mostly just want to use this as a learning experience, any information at all would be great!
Here are some pics:

Please help me download this software - I think my location restricts me

It is software to help me update my laptop drivers. This is the website:
I'd like to know if the problem is worldwide or because of my location in East Africa.
So please let me know if you are able to download it and, if so, if you can email it to me. As we say in Swahili, asante sana!

To Muslims: Do you see Atheism/Secular-Humanism/Non-religiosity as a threat?
|
Original thread I deleted due to serious drama: ( Was a stupid move on second thought, but oh well.
----------------------------------------------------
Hey there.
While talking to a Muslim friend of mine, we got into discussions of anti-Muslim bigots, mostly of the religious bent (Christians or Jews largely), and he mused that while he thinks of those people as potentially dangerous to Muslims civil rights, in the long run, atheism is the bigger threat and that he's far more worried of Muslims leaving Islam to be skeptics and Atheists and such.
So I'm curious, do the Muslims here share his opinion?

Can I use a seperate sound cable for a tv while using HDMI for video?
|
My mom wants to hook her computer up to her tv. Her computer has DVI and VGA on the card. If I use a DVI-HDMI cable to plug the computer into her tv, can I use a different cable to connect the sound card to the tv so I can get audio? Or do I need to use a seperate sounds system?

What is your opinion on the strengths and limitations of the website Tumblr.com
|
A large portion of people I know are avid tumblrs, yet I still cant quite fully grasp tumblrs function within the social networking spectrum. It seems so broad, having brillent novelty blogs such as Kim Jong Ill looking at things or serving as a social hub or artistic inspiration.
I want to hear Reddit's opinion on the website, what does it doo well, what do you considerer to be it's major faults?

Need to kill some time, Rift or Swtor?
|
Just need to kill a few months until D3 and GW2 release. I've played both games, never hit 50 on Rift only got into my 20s. As for Swtor I played three characters to 50 and then lost it all when I got hacked. I've leveled fairly quickly on all the mmos I've played so I'm more concerned with the end game. Curious which of the two games has more content to offer in the end game setting.

Anyone know a place where people can get a space to meet?
|
I am starting up a bariatric surgery support group and I need a space for us to meet. There is always the library, and I've contacted them, but I want to look for other places just in case that does not work out. I have been looking at local churches and community centers. If anyone knows a place please let me know. There is a great need for this in KC because there is a lack of support in this city. I would be ever so thankful if someone gave us a home. Thank you in advance.

What if the US Civil War began in 1832 and not 1861
|
What if Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson failed to resolve the Nullification Crisis? I understand President Jackson was willing to use force to enforce the laws passed by the Federal Gov't. What would the Civil War look like in 1832? Does the industrial advantage in the North remain substantial? Do railroads play a decisive role? (I think the latter is doubtful seeing as they were introduced in the 1830s...)

My grandfather is dying and I'm going to have to call him for what will likely be our last conversation. What should I say?
|
I just found out my grandfather has brain cancer and had symptoms similar to a stroke (that is what he thought happened and went to the hospital for). I'm not exactly close with him but I do call every few months. My mother is going to text me the number but warned me that it would take a minute for him to figure out who I am. What are good things to say for a final conversation?

Guys, I hate to ruin your Me Monday, but r/gaymers may very well be destroyed because the term "gaymer" is apparently trademarked.
|
So some douchenozzle who owns a blog called Gaymer.org decided that to keep his trademark on the term "Gaymer" he needed to eliminate our community. Thousands of gaymers are devastated and Reddit seems like it's just going to cave and succumb to this idiot's demands instead of fighting for it's users. I don't know what's going to happen, but us gaymers could really use your support.

Which do you consider worse: your partner physically cheating on you or telling someone 'I love you' in a romantic sense ?
|
Both are bad when you love someone. Personally my partner telling someone else they love them in a romantic / intimate way the way they would to me would be so much worse.

What does it say about University of
Pennsylvania Medical School that they
gave Dr. Oz a degree? What does it say
about doctors in general?
|
I know we all hate Dr. Oz for being a scam artist, but aren't we just picking at the symptoms of the disease. What does it say about our system of medical education, when someone can graduate with no knowledge of science? Shouldn't we be attacking U Penn for failing to fight back against his quackery? Don't they have a moral obligation to point out the disservice he's doing for medicine, even if the school does gain some cachet from having a famous alumni?

So I haven't changed my resos in 11 years...
|
Like the title says, I haven't changed my resos off of my yamaha stage custom advantage in the 11 years that I have owned them. I have also only changed the batters once.
Currently, my toms are using evans ec2 batter and stock resos, and with some moon gell, I think they sound pretty good. I've heard people change their batter heads once every year or so, and resos every 3. My snare has the weatherking batter with a stock reso.
Would I notice a drastic improvement in sound if I bought new resos? I'm tempted to say, "it is good enough." Is my acceptance of the sound due to ignorance and never experiencing better perhaps?

Any other Victory riders in Chicago?
|
I ride a 2012 Victory Vegas 8-Ball, live in the South Loop, and work in the Loop. If you happen to see a blacked-out, bad-ass looking Vegas downtown you are almost certainly looking at my bike because I have not seen even one other Victory in the city. Anyone else in the Chicago riding the new American motorcycle?

Need help finding this Daddy/Daughter/Brother punishment video.
|
I need help finding this. All I remember is the daughter was late coming home and her Dad was angry and gave her 'punishment' over the arm of the sofa.
The brother comes down the stairs and the dad tells him what the daughter has done and the brother joins in.

|
Alright everyone, I am not sure if you saw the sunset this afternoon but it was spectacular! However, as i was biking by what I considered to be a good spot to take a photo (backside of segundo DC) I still couldn't get a clear view. So, where are the best places to get a shot of the sunset here in Davis?
