Axiom - Republic Guild/Community
|
Hello all, I'm a part of a Republic guild on the server who's looking to reach out to and coordinate with all Republic players on Naddist. We're a core group of players right now, but our group has been well known for around a decade in the Jedi Knight series community, where we were known as the Jedi Order [JO].
This is just a little post introducing ourselves and our guild. As we're still trying to get our footing in-game, we're not actively recruiting at this time, but we do have an application process for those interested.
Feel free to hit any Axiom member you see around in game for grouping, and feel free to use our forums to arrange groups and meet other Republic players on Naddist
website: (forum)
my in-game name - Gailen
other points of contact - Cayden, D'kota

Thank you for your time

Reddit, how do you motivate your friends?
|
Alright Reddit, I am looking for some help. I have a group of friends that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. They are all great guys. There is just one problem. They never want to do anything but play video games. We met playing video games and all like to play together but I had no idea how impossible it would be to try and get them to do anything else. I've asked repeatedly if they want to do something like go work out, go lap swimming, go swimming for fun, really anything active at all. When I bring it up they are energetic at first and all claim to want to start working out but when I am texting them like twenty minutes before we are supposed to meet they reply with things like "but videogames" or "I don't want to" or "I'd rather play (insert game here)." So, I always end up going to work out alone. So reddit, how would you motivate these people?

Creating planes in 3d motion tracking?
|
I'm trying to place an image behind a person over a blank white screen in a video clip. I tried using AE's 3d tracker, but the analysis solve failed.
I was wondering if there was a way to manually draw a 3d plane for AE to track?
I'm placing an image over a blank white projector screen with a black outline, but I'd like the image to be able to 'move' and deform as perspective shifts slightly, which is why I'd like 3d tracking. But outside of the few seconds of the clip that I actually need to track, the camera movement is very dynamic with a lot of motion blurring, so I understand why the analysis failed.

Is there any historical reason why the French are so well known for surrender, or is this just some long running joke?

The only time I can think of that France has surrendered was after Germany took Paris in WW II, but I was wondering if their were any other moments in history where France has given the world reason to critique their military ability?

I am sick of Act 3 farming, why is not Act 1 and 2 just as efficient?
|
This topic has been brought up before, but why does Act 1 and 2 not have the same Monster Density as Act 3? I'm extremely bored with Alkaizer runs and A3 in general but at the same time I feel that if I farm Act 2 or 1 I don't get the same loot and XP for the time spent.
There are 4 Acts with differnt enviorments, but we only get to experience one of them when we farm. Should not all the 4 Acts be viable for farming so we can experience all content in the game?
Imagine Act 1 crowded with goatmen in Fields of Misery and the Crypts full with zombies and skeletons, or the pony level with a really high mob density. Act 2 full with cultists, snakes and imps! And have the freedom to farm whatever Act without loosing out on XP and loot.

I buy foreclosed houses at public auction, I've seen the ins and outs of the biz. AMAA!

I worked for a year buying houses at public auction in the US. I've bought over 50 houses and the company I worked for has purchased thousands. Basically we drove around all morning and look at houses, go to the auction and buy. Then we get a crew in to remodel and we sell. I've seen the ins and out, all the dirty tricks, blatantly illegal practices. AMAA
**EDIT** Sorry guys, decided I've had enough of this IAmA, If somebody else in the business wants to give this a try go for it. I just don't feel like having all this stuff on the internet forever. I hope I could have answered everybody questions to their liking. Take Care.

Subsurface Blowholes in Pewter Casting
|
So i have been attempting a Pewter casting using a 92% tin 7.5% antimony and .5% Copper blend. i am using an aluminum gravity mold and in order to get the parts within tolerance I must have them machined. when the parts are first spit out from the mold the surfaces have a good solid finish on them, however, upon machining the first .040" there is a massive amount of porosity. the porosity appears to be subsurface blowholes. what could be the potential causes of these air bubbles?

Can someone clarify this for me? A spending increase of $236 million dollars between 2012-2014 for Loto-Quebec while student tuitions are expected to produce $159 million within the same period?
|
If I'm reading this right... tuition increases will bring in $159 million extra dollars between 2012-2014 while within the same period we'll be spending $214.8 million on new lottery machines. Loto-Quebec is receiving a funding increase of $236 million total within the two years.
While I understand that investment into Loto-Quebec is an investment that can see returns, it seems a bit odd to outright spend more on Loto-Quebec than student tuition increases meant to balance the Provincial books.
Without going into the details of whether or not higher education is an investment for the Province, anyone care to discuss the reasoning behind this sort of spending? Why do we not hear about the funding for new lottery machines?
**Please tell me if I'm misreading the budget.**
C.67 and C.68 for Loto-Quebec Funding.
A.41 for Universities.
**Note: If this is true, I say a free lottery ticket with each credit! Booyah.**

What are your thoughts on the Nintendo Wii?
|
After years of having it(first console i owned this generation) i can fairly say that the Wii surpassed my expectations.I have so many fantastic Wii games and there are still tons that i need to get.The Wii was truly a unique experience,giving us hardcore gamers a brand new gaming experience while still retaining that greatness that previous Nintendo consoles had.It brought more people into gaming and didn't have that sorta "cliched" feel that the PS3 and 360 had.
Well those are my opinions on it,what are yours?

I have some questions about cellular companies and plans..
|
Ok, so I have T-mobile. We have had a contract with them for 4 years. We currently have 4 people on a family plan sharing 800 minutes, unlimited texting, and 1 person has a data plan. Our bill comes to $180 typically a month. My mother and me both want to upgrade, since our phones are up for it. But here is the thing. My mom isn't really happy with t-Mobile, its a sim network so it sucks. I will be moving in a couple months and if I keep tmobile, my future home I have absolutely no service. Also, it seems like all the new phones they require a data plan, or else you get really ugly shitty flip phones.
So is this data plan actually required to activate a new smartphone or are they fucking with us, because we can barely afford our bill as is. Also, tmobile sucks. my mom barely recieves her text messages, and picture messages take days to deliver. she also wont get calls. Mine decides it wont do shit for days, such as texting or recieving my calls, and my alarm goes haywire so I sleep restelessly worried it wont go off on time.
I live in Washington state and we have Cricket, but our current home is a dead zone for cricket. I think my mom had verizon before and I don't think she liked it.
Idk what to do here. What is a good company that won't try to screw us over by making us pay for a bunch of shit we don't need. We don't need the minutes really, I text a lot, and would probably use a data plan since I use my ipod wherever there is wifi. I can't even chacha anything with tmobile because they charge now.
my dad talked to me about getting those like throwaway phones where you pay for a $50 unlimited everything card that lasts a month.
I don't currently have a job though, so I can't go do my own plan yet and I don't want to be stuck in another two year plan with tmobile, and then move and have no service
Sorry if this is confusing, but I guess my main question is, do you actually have to have a data plan to make the new phones like 3G ones work, or is it all a scam and can we opt out of it so we can just use them as regular phones, but just have nice touchscreens.

How to make "r/SCA" eggs! (first post)
|
What you'll need:
**Ingredients**
* about 2 eggs per person (or more, if you're really hungry)
* about 1-2 Tbsp of Milk (or a splash, for the lazy)
* Salt/Pepper (no exact amounts really, however much you like)
**OPTIONAL**
* CHEEEEEEEEEEEEESE (Cheese.)
**Supplies**
* A mixing bowl
* A fork/whisk (either on works, really.)
* A spatula-type utensil
* Adequately sized cooking pan/skillet (for however many eggs you're making, use an appropriately sized pan.)
* A range used for cooking the eggs upon (obviously)
________________________________________________
**Procedures**
Step 1.) Place the skillet/cooking pan on the proper heating area. The heating unit MUST be around the same size of the bottom of the pan. Keep it on a relatively "medium" heat.
Never put a pan on a heating unit that's too large for the bottom of the pan, especially for a gas stove (the flames tend to lick the sides of the pan).
_
Step 2.) Crack the set amount of eggs into you're mixing bowl.
**Protip** Don't get any pieces of eggshell into the mix.
_
Step 3.) Begin to beat the eggs carefully with your whisk/fork. This is the "scrambled" part.
You'll be able to tell when its done, it should look like a yellow mixture.
**Protip** If you see small pockets off clear liquid in the mixture, that's normal.
_
Step 4.) Add in the milk. stir until it is no longer visible.
**Protip** Adding to much milk causes discoloration in the eggs, and it gets really awkward.
_
Step 5.) Add in the salt/pepper. Use as much as you want! :D
**Protip** Don't hurt yourself.
_
Step 6.) Slowly pour your eggmilksaltpepper mixture into your now-heated pan/skillet.
**Protip** Don't fucking pour it too fast.
_
Step 7.) Let it sit for a little bit. Make sure to keep an eye on it!
Use your Spatula-like utensil to occasionally stir the eggs. Make sure to scrape any coagulating egg-bits off the bottom/side of the pan to ensure the rest of the mix cooks thoroughly.
**Protip** add your cheese now, so it melts. Or whatever.
_
Step 8.) Once all of the egg mixture has coagulated/the cheese has melted, let them cool off, then dig in!
**Protip** put them on a plate, but eating them out of the pan is A-okay too.
_
Let me know if I missed anything. This is Shitty Cooking Advice, after all.

Light armor or the Mage Armor perk?
|
Hello fellow Dovahkiin, quick armor question. My character is kind of a mage/sword wielder, my main perk trees are one-handed, alchemy, enchantment, destruction, and alteration. What I can't decide is if I should invest perks in light armor or the "mage armor" section of alteration.
Wearing light armor is obviously more convenient than casting a flesh spell every 60 seconds, but with the right robe I'd have some serious magic regen; running out of magic seems to be an issue with light armor. Also I heard that you can't enchant armor with magic regen more than 10% which is way less than what you'll find on some robes. However since I'm into alchemy as well, perhaps I could just have light armor and also have lots of magic potions on me as well.
Thoughts? Opinions? Anyone else with a similar character build that ended up going one way or the other?
Edit: Alright I've decided to go with the light armor route. However, instead of investing in light armor perks right now, I'm going to invest in the enchanting tree to get my magic regen up as high as possible. I don't want to give up my eleven armor...

I switched to Chrome, but it was like trying to surf with a boat full of holes. Memory leaking everywhere, and taking up huge amounts of resources, even with only one tab open.
Is there any ultra lightweight browsers out there that aren't bloated pieces of software? On Windows 7 right now.

My dad's interesting view on ghosts
|
(This is the first time I've tried using Reddit: sorry if I get it wrong!)
I just had a conversation with my family about ghosts; they all believe in them, I do not. However, my dad's got some unusual beliefs about them. They are:
- Ghosts exist, and he has seen them.
- They exist in many forms; sound, shadows, animals, people
- They are not the souls of dead people. There is no afterlife.
- **They are something that has previously happened replaying as a result of some weird quantum physics thing like parallel universes.**
I then asked if we could therefore have ghosts of living people and didn't get a proper answer, but not necessarily the avoidance of one - it was a busy conversation.
Now, I know so little of quantum physics that I don't know if this is a really interesting theory or just a strange belief that only my dad holds.

StarCraft II HoTS Beta 2v2 Strategies.
|
This post is for any 2v2 Match up strategies for 2.0.2. Discuss your strategies here.
This is the strategy that my team mate and I have been working on.
Any input would be great.
Team: Protoss and Zerg
Zerg tries to put early pressure with Lings while the Protoss builds for early air pressure ( Oracle and Voidray ).
The pressure should try and slow early anti air such as Stalker and Marine. This will pave a way for the Oracles to pick off workers. We maintain Oracle pressure until we can get Swarm Hosts to main pressure at their front. We expand behind this pressure. We try to capitalize on economical damage and maintain attacks from multiple sides.
This works really well if one of the opponents is Zerg due to lack of Anti Air in the early game.

Does rational feminism really warrant a new -ism?
|
I fail to see the part about "feminism" that makes it uniquely a female perspective, or what solutions it proposes that solve problems concerning equality (other than that all men should bow down and hate their own kind and re announce their faith). Once you de establish the victim vs non victim game, and understand that all of women's issues are results of the basis of institutions and precedents that affect a number of things in society and not just women, feminism quickly falls apart as having no tenet that is unique to any political ideology, unless that tenet is substituted with the irrational "All these things are the fault of a patriarchy", which then it becomes a radical ideology that no one buys. I suppose its only redeeming and respectable quality would be its emphasis of quality in gender rights. But does that really warrant for whole -ism? Especially when that ideology proposes no unique perspective to what all libertarians are trying to accomplish?

Ok, for those of you who know me, you know I mission-impossibled my car. Living without a car has been a success so far, but I was going through some of my childhood shit today, and I realized I had a childhood dream of owning an ice cream truck (more or less inspired by twisted metal and making the fat kid run after my ice cream truck, but I tell people I like ice cream)
Well, I aint gonna sell ice cream for a living at the moment, but it would like to own an ice cream truck.

Automatically forward ports (DMZ) to a specific local address based on Hostname?
|
Hey, /r/TechSupport, I run a little private FTP server on my computer to transfer video renders to clients/friends.
The problem is, sometimes I'll restart my computer (or something) and my local IP address will change. So I'll be out and about and get a call that my server's down.
I have the good ol' Linksys WRT54GS router, which I usually manually forward all ports to my computer via DMZ. I was wondering if there was some kind of script (I'm aware there's also a firmware mod available) to have the router automatically DMZ to the computer based on its hostname.
tl;dr: My local IP changes once in a while, and I want my router to automatically forward everything to it, regardless of IP.

Question about options trading
|
Ok, so I'm learning about options right now and it seems to me that they are a very reasonable approach to investing in markets. My question is moreso something of verification:
Ok, so, here's the scenario:
Stock ABC is at price $40
I add a call option of $50
Scottrade asks $7 for the option to buy the option +$1.50 per contract, where each contract can have n number of shares you can exercise before option expires.
Ok, so say I create a call option as follows,
option contract: ABC x 100 shares, sell at $60 (where current price is $50)
contract total cost: $8.50
Lets say that the stock hits $60, and i exercise on the option. My profit would be 100 x 10 or $1,000. If I do not exercise that option, my loss is only $8.50. Is this understanding correct, and if so, isn't option trading a much more reasonable form of trading than actual stock trading? It seems like the profits are while not potentially as great as trading a stock directly, the risk of trading is reduced dramatically. That dramatic risk reduction seems like a statistical wet dream in terms of balancing risk with investments. I just want to make sure I'm understanding things correctly. So far I've only traded in actual stocks.

Colorado early lease termination advice needed!
|
We got the OK from our Landlords to move out of our place early for some serious family reasons. They have new tenants tentatively moving in and they have agreed to sign an "agreement of early lease termination" document provided by us that frees us from all previous obligations. I did a little online check and couldn't find anything. You all have any ideas for writing one up/used one/seen one on the intertubez I could use as a base?
No, I would rather not pay a lawyer for this if there is something relatively simple and standardized. I don't feel our landlords are out to screw us, more for our peace of mind and have some basic legal covering.

USJ Halloween Horror Nights?
|
Hey All,
My girlfriend and I live in Kyoto and are wondering about Universal's Halloween Horror Nights. I can't find anything on their website and considering that Halloween starts about 2 months early in Japan I am starting to suspect that we may have missed the festivities already. Do any of you have any experience with this? I'd love to go - and I heard that they have partnered with Capcom and made the night Resident Evil themed.

Found a cute stray dog. Need help with medical and care so I don't have to turn her over to humane society.
|
Hey all, this is my first time asking for anything like this. I found a cute stray dog with no tags today today, I'm doing my best to locate the owner, but if I can't I'd like to keep her to avoid turning her over to the Humane Society. Unfortunately I'm in the middle of a move and can't afford medical treatment and care at the moment, she was very flea ridden, with mangy matted down hair and bare spots from scratching/eating her own hair. I'm guessing she has worms as well. On the plus side she's really well behaved.
My girlfriend and I started a chipin to try to raise funds, we put a goal of $650, but if we need less we will donate the rest to the humane society.
Chipin link, along with a picture of the dog in question can be found here:
Thanks for considering.

MLS Playoffs; I hate penalties so I thought of a "Seed Advantage" rule to decide who advances
|
So I don't know what the American audience thinks about penalty kicks to decide Playoff series, but I hate them. In Europe, they have adopted the away-goal rule to decide aggregate ties on a home-and-away series and although I like that it gets ride of penalties to decide ties, I can see how Americans wouldn't really like away goals deciding who advances to the next round. Therefore, I have an idea to get ride of penalties in the playoffs (except the final) and give an advantage to the team that performed better during the regular season.
I call it the "Seed Advantage" rule and I'll explain it using the DC United v. RBNY (especially because now that DC lost their 2nd leg at home advantage that they would have had being that they were the favorite). So Lets say that this Saturday's game is won by DC 2-1, and then Wednesday's game is 1-0 with RBNY ahead at the end of 90 minutes. Aggregate is 2-2 heading into extra time, and here is where the rule would come into effect. If extra time ends tied, DC United would advance to the next round, rewarding them for the better season. This would force RBNY to score in extra-time in order to knock off the higher seed and take their place in the next round. I got this idea from the Ryder Cup because in that competition, America has to beat the defending champions Europe to take the cup, if they tie then Europe retains the cup. The "Seed Advantage" rule works the same way, the lower seed needs to beat the higher one in order to steal the spot in the next round. If they are unable to steal the spot (tie or lose on aggregate) the higher seed advances. Thoughts?
TL;DR I think it would be cooler to have a "Seed Advantage" rule where in the MLS Cup Playoffs the higher seed would advance if the aggregate score is tied after both games (plus extra-time in the 2nd game). This would give the higher seed a better advantage in the playoffs and avoid penalties, because I hate penalties.

TIL my companions gain new abilities without telling you and are disabled by default
|
When I first customized my UI, I immediately enabled the second center bar, which is where the expanded companions' abilities bar would go. Naturally, I've never expanded that bar...until recently by accident. As it turns out, my companions had basically half of its abilities available but disabled for autocast as well as stances. I'm figuring these are the abilities they learn over time as the loading screen tips mentioned. I'm in my 40s and I've been using the same set of abilities that come when you first get the companion.
This was somewhat akin to realizing that the skill trainer had a second tab at the bottom.

Feature Suggestion: What does Reddit think about stopping down votes for the first hour or so of new posts?
|
Browsing though the new posts, occasionally there is some material that would potentially become front page posts, but due to the trolls of Reddit, get down voted before they have a chance for some real Redditor's to notice them.
Could we block down-voting on the new posts to give them a chance?

What do people expect a petition against the lockout will accomplish?
|
I understand petitions compile people to create a moral force, but really, what is that going to accomplish in the NHL lockout situation?
To me, a petition is just reinforcing the fact that the fans will still be here next year because of the demonstration of passion.
We have a demand and they have the supply. That supply will increase in value the longer we can go without our fix. Gary Bettman and the owner are aware the fans are angry, they don't care. We'll still pay billions of dollars over the next year to feed our fix and continue watching the game we all love.
You want to hurt the league? Lower the demand. Boycott games and merchandise. Stop paying attention and show them that we don't need the game. Sure we love it, we want it, but in reality we don't need it. The NHL is just an entertainment business.
I could rant about this forever, already I have gone further than I intended to. Back to the question. What do the high and mighty fans plan to accomplish with NHL Lockout petitions?

Starting over, fishing gear needed -- for the Pacific Northwest. What are the basic essentials?
|
Hey guys. I used to fish a *ton* growing up into my early 20s, then life got in the way. And work. And girls. In coastal New England, I had various rods & kits (fresh & salt water), and two large tackle boxes--one for each type of water. No fly fishing, but lots of river, lake, and surf fishing.
Used to go after primarily bass, catfish, striped bass, and bluefish. After realizing I hadn't fished for nearly 6, 7 years at all, and was moving, I sold all my gear to a friend for a pretty penny, leaving nothing.
I want to start over a little. What are the key things I need for the PNW around the Seattle area? I used to do a clean split of fresh & saltwater, but mostly did sport fishing. I want to keep and eat what I catch now.
What are your tips for the area? I always loved the cold and environment more for saltwater fishing off of the rocks, beach, and piers (even in winter, I'm insane) but loved the sport of it all more in the inland bodies.

Looking for good absinthe in Prague.
|
Hi everyone, my first post.
So next weekend, I'll be in Prague. Can anyone local, or someone who's been there before, recommend to me a good brand of absinthe that I can buy there for a decent price? Also, where should I go to buy it in order not to get ripped off as a tourist? How much should your recommended brand cost, approximately?
I should note that I have practically zero experience, and only today did I realize my cliché misconceptions about absinthe by reading the Absinthe 101. I always thought that "Czech absinthe" was the "real stuff", hallucination-inducing and whatnot. Now I realized that's not true, but I still believe I should be able to get a good bottle of absinthe in Prague. All help aprreciated! Thanks!
tl;dr: What's a good bottle of absinthe I can buy in Prague, and where?

Buying a bike, advice please?

Hi r/frugal!
I want to buy a bike to get in and out of work. I don't have to go too far, it's only about a 50 minute walk with one big hill and the rest is a gentle slope. What should I look out for in bike shops/Gumtree ads?
I am probably going to buy new as we have a cycle-to-work tax scheme here in Ireland where you can get half the cost off. I don't want to end up with a ridiculously expensive bike because the guy in the shop sees me coming.
I've only gone into one shop and the guy was a bit of a dick because I don't know anything about bikes.

Hey guys, I play with a lot of you on an almost nightly basis. I want to see stronger representation from the purebattlefield regulars in the Reddit vs. Symthic community challenge that we have coming up. Notice that we are going to continue adding to this team and scheduling more events once the Symthic match is over. There are not a lot of opportunities to play organized large scale bf3 and our goal is to help change that.
The spirit of these challenges is very consistent with what we all love about the purebattlefield server. Big maps, plenty of vehicles, and team coordination. Although there are a lot of competitive players on the roster and in the tryouts we are NOT looking for a team full of top tier comp guys. We want players who communicate well and are committed to the teamwork side of the game.
Anyway hope to see more of you guys in this (we've got destroyermaker on the list and Tzarcasm and Undisparo already showed up to one tryout) and see you on teamspeak!

Suggested reading list for someone interested in 20th century Popular Culture?
|
Greetings,
Having checked the FAQ, sidebar and both Master Reading lists, I feel it is appropriate to ask my question.
I have always been a fan of popular culture, whether it be movies, music, TV shows; or events, actions and decisions that shaped how the world has come to be what it is in the 20th century.
Does anybody have any suggestions for reading material on such subjects. To keep in line with the subreddit rules, I am only requesting readings about Pre-1992 popular culture events and changes.
I have a list below of books that I will eventually get around to buying once I have the cash for them. Hopefully these books can give you a better idea of what type of readings I am looking for.
Cheers!

[TOMT] [TV cartoon] A 80's/90's toon that happened in prehistoric times
|
At the end of one of our TMNT tapes as a kid, there was also an extra episode of this particular show I'm asking about. This was in the very early 90's but it's very possible that the show is somewhat older. As I only ever saw this one episode, there's unfortunately not much to go on.
The show happened in prehistoric times or during the stone-ages. There seems to have only one main character, who had long and unruly blond hair and only wore a loincloth and possibly some fur boots. He wielded a primitive spear or knife.
There was also another character, which I think was his enemy. He had black hair and possibly some beard/mustache (the other was cleanshaven) and I remember those two fighting. I think the black haired one was killed by falling off a waterfall.
The blond hero also battled some animals. Maybe that was just during the intro, but there were some jaguars or cheetahs, I think, or maybe even sabretooths.
The art-style was along the lines of Thundercats, He-Man or Jonny Quest. The blond guy was very bulky. The overall feel for the show seemed somewhat serious/epic/dramatic, it wasn't a comedy.
I have one very vivid image. The hero had a small knife, basically just a rough flint with some straps on, and he spun it on a small, round thing, possibly a tree stub. The POV was straight on top and I think the circle gradually changed into some other round object, like the sun. I think when the knife stopped, the blond hero followed its direction and ran away. This might've been from the intro.
Now, one other thing is, that I think this might be French (or Belgian/Swiss?). I can actually remember the tune of the intro song, and I somehow get the feeling it might be in French, even though I can't be sure as I was just a small kid, I might be making this up. I also think the title was something like Rohan or something similar, although obviously not that. Again, just a very vague memory.
I actually remember finding the intro to the cartoon on YouTube years ago, probably near the birth of the website, but I've been unsuccessful finding it again. Does anyone recognize this? :)

However, I have three stickers missing, all from the original three I got with my game box. I have the little barcode cards for them (for the web game), but absolutely no stickers of any kind.
I know I haven't lost them or anything, because I specifically put all my Skylanders stuff into the one box from day one.
Do you guys have stickers for your original three?
And does anyone know how I can contact the company about this to request replacement stickers - I've tried their website but only get errors from all the "Contact Us" form pages. (And the Australian number looks kind of strange, starting with 0800?)

After an argument with my dad I was wondering if anyone could go against the hive mind and play devil's advocate against Microsoft/Bill Gates

For a while my dad, who is a major Apple supporter, and I have disagreed on the ethics of Bill gates/Microsoft and Apple/Steve Jobs. I'm 17 and my dad doesn't think I'm old enough to understand why Bill Gates and Microsoft are so corrupt and that the companies actions in the 80's and 90's are enough to justify never buying a computer running windows. I'm fairly in deferent, I love my macbook for all of my personal needs, but where would I be with out my high powered gaming rig.

I've read that the LHC uses superconducting magnets to propel subatomic particles to near-light speeds. I'm aware subatomic particles are much smaller than anything we're looking to put in orbit around earth, but is it feasible to use the same principle to accelerate something larger (like a satellite or garbage capsule) to speeds greater than the escape velocity of earth? Is it considered an alternative to rockets in getting to space?

We really want to help people make good choices for themselves and I remember having a ton of curiosity/anxiety about what stuff was really like after school. So what do you want to know? Thank you :)

I was fired from a job four years ago. I found a new job quickly and have been working ever since. But now I want to hit the want ads again. During my upcoming interviews, should I say I was fired from that job or should I say I resigned?
|
Background: Worked for a small company and loved my job. Had a coworker who was confrontational with me. He eventually became my boss and was even more confrontational. Eventually I could not do anything right for him, my performance suffered and I was terminated. I really don't want to bring this up in an interview and would rather say I resigned for a new job. Thoughts?

Could someone please help me acquire a concession card?
|
I graduated from university a year ago, and now public transport is eating good chunk of my income.
Beyond signing up for another degree, how can I get a concession card for six months or so? If I knew the right person, could they just make me one? I don't know. It all feels so sneaky.

Hey r/Fantasy, have you read Wicked, the revisionist take on the Wizard of Oz?
|
You should. It really kicks ass. For the lazy.
It's incredible. The fact that the world of Oz is already painted in most of our minds by the movie gives the novel an original and vivid aesthetic. The author juxtaposes this familiarity with heavy subjects and language which would never make it into a Hollywood movie, let alone the original movie years ago.
If you've ever considered Dorothy's Ruby Slippers to be a cool magical artifact then this book will probably entertain.

copy of product criticism I just sent Bodum
|
Anyone else have a problem with Bodum products? Both my Pebo and Chambord broke very easily and I'm tired of replacing them - they're not cheap. Below is a message I've sent to Bodum regarding this issue, and I hope I'm not alone in this, because then I'm just a clumsy idiot that can't have nice things. I don't recall anything else in my kitchen breaking so easily though.
>First, I'd like to say that your products create the very best home coffee I've ever had. Both your Pebo and french press brew excellent coffee, and have been integral to having a good day.
>Unfortunately, they're exceptionally fragile. After replacing the Pebo vacuum top four times, at $60 for each, I decided I needed something a little more study. I bought the Chambord 12-cup french press, and life was good again. Until, while washing it the other day, the glass broke and separated in my hands and cut me. Only small cut, and I'll heal, but I have to complain about the fragility of your products. I don't know what kind of glass you use, but to make the Pebo so fragile, when it's going to be used by sleepy and uncoordinated people, is a dick move. I am deeply disappointed that the Chambord doesn't seem to be any better, and I don't see how, in good conscience, you can sell a product that will shatter in someone's hand while washing. Might I recommend using something tougher, such as Gorilla glass or Pyrex?
>In summary, your products create fantastic coffee but have zero life expectancy, are expensive to replace, and I must recommend against their purchase to my friends.

[Request] Friend has opened a butcher shop. It is a 'mom-and-pop' store surrounded by big names. They are looking for the 'local' niche.
|
A friend has just opened his own butcher shop. It currently only employees two people, the owner and his wife. The shop is named after him.
They are looking to make business cards and eventually make a website, and asked me to help them find someone to make an appropriate logo.
Both fully understand that their shop will potentially struggle against bigger businesses in the same area. Therefore, I feel that their strongest asset is the fact that they have a 'family' and local face. Maybe this can be worked into the design?
Comment or message me if you're interested. They have a specific 'blue and white' colour scheme already established. If you are interested and creatively capable, I can provide the name of their suburb, as well as possibly images of both individuals themselves (maybe you can work these into the design).
Thanks for any assistance.

What makes toast taste so much better than regular bread?
|
I understand that putting something in a toaster heats it up and makes it warm and crunchy, but what about this process makes bread so different?

Just got out of hospital for trying to overdose, where do I go from here?
|
I posted before over a week ago. Decided to take an overdose the other night. Woke up, told work I was going to be away for a few days. Went to seek help for my depression, NHS advisor told me I needed to register which took 3 weeks to be seen. Told him about taking the pills, he said I could overdose on what I took. I walked to A&E whilst taking more so I could just fall into a deep sleep.
When I got there they admitted me and treated it as an overdose. I felt lost walking to there. Was ok when I got out but all day im feeling lost and I don't know the next step to take in becoming better. Im registering with a doctor tomorrow but im having issues in deciding on what to do first. I still think about suicide but not as suicide, just falling asleep and never waking up...
