How about a money bomb for Gary Johnson?
|
The benefits of a money bomb are not only financial, but if we raise enough, the possibility of increased media coverage. That's what the campaign needs right now. If we can get even a small percentage of that which Ron Paul had, the campaign will take off.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions for what we should do?

Reccuring Lucid dream, i cannot get away.
|
I seem to be stuck, in my lucid dreams that is. I cannot pysichally move from the lovation i get stuck in, for example.. i live in a very small town, and there seems to be boundaries everywhere, i can fly, and thats about the only ''superpower'' i am able to achive, there are rarely any other DC's there.. I also live on a mountain with my father from time to time, and here,i am stuck outside the house, i can barely fly here, everything feels extremly vivid in my dreams tough, and has extreme detail, but i cannot seem to break down that reality barrier. Any ideas of what i can do to get away from here, the DC's that end up being there just rambles about stuff wich has no use to me, and is not important, when i say i am dreaming, they just look at me, when i shout out for my dream guide, nothing happens, at all. Im like, stuck, alone in my dreams, and its boring... Seriously, its so boring that i nearly would rather be having a normal dream

What do you use for bookmarks?
|
When I finish reading a book, I like to leave my bookmark between the pages. Sometimes it's just a slip of paper, but mostly it's something unique like a concert ticket, a trading card, a postcard, etc.
So as I'm rereading some of my favorites right now, every time I open one of these books I discover what I used as a bookmark from the first time I read it.
So I'm curious, what do you use for bookmarks?

[HIRING] Converting Basic HTML content to different templates
|
Hi!
I'm looking for an individual who can convert basic HTML content from one basic template to another. There is no fancy javascript, flash or other rich content, just plain old tables, text and images. There is also some light CSS.
You must use a text editor or Dreamweaver, no other WYSWYG are allowed. The pages you'll be converting have been edited in Dreamweaver prior, so the code is probably sloppy. The pages that will be edited must look OK in Dreamweaver to be edited further by staff.
This will be ongoing work, with somewhere in the neighborhood of ~200 pages to convert. There will probably be future work as well.
The pay will be reasonable and is negotiable based on speed and accuracy. We require 99% accuracy on the conversions.
Please message me if you're interested and I will send you two URLs and ask you to convert one to the other. If the conversion is accurate and doesn't take an unreasonable amount of time to complete, then we'll discuss compensation. (Each page shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to complete.)
This will be contract work paid via bank wire.

Human Expiration dates and immortality.
|
Today I was chatting with my boss about the wonders of the natural world and how insignificant Human life is in the grand scheme of things.
He said to me "All life expires eventually, but our essence lives on in others in some way, shape or form-" I had stopped listening by this point as a thought had occurred to me, "All life expires...".
I raced to the bathroom ripped my clothing off and searched my entire body for my expiration date, hoping to know the date of my eventual mortality.
I could not find one...
My question is thus; If I have no expiration date on my body, am I immortal?

What did Glee teach you about life?
|
Many people trash on the show saying that it's such trash but i however disagree. For me personally Glee has taught me to love myself and be treated with respect while refusing to take anything less than that. It taught me that people come from many walks of life and that we all have struggles and burdens that can be mitigated through the support and love of close friendships. If anything Glee has taught me to invest in more worthwhile relationships than settle for something shallow and stagnant.

Does Nintendo sell XL Styluses?
|
I just moved into my new apartment and the stylus for my brand new Blue 3DS XL somehow got lost. I'm looking to replace it, but I can't seem to find any official styluses for the XL by Nintendo.
The reason why I'm looking for an official/identical one is due to the fact that if I intend to sell the system, it might lose some value due to the fact that its missing something it came with.
If anyone is aware of anything, please let me know. Thanks!

/r/lincoln meetup at Misty's in Williamsburg starts this Friday, 28 Sep, at 8 pm!
|
The other two threads regarding this meetup were buried by trolls. But from everything I've heard, this meetup is poised to be a success, with those familiar to meetups and new faces alike.
Misty's is just south of Old Cheney along 40th. It is east of the big HyVee, in the building which used to hold Jade Rivers, and long ago held a seafood place known as Charlie's. We'll occupy the bar area so we can roam a bit freer.
For those unfamiliar with Misty's, it is a local full-menu restaurant with a full bar, which also brews several vatieties of its own beer. The bar area is large and accommodating, and it isn't uncommon for people to go there simply to drink.
After a couple hours at Misty's, we can head to Applebees a block away (and still in the confines of Williamsburg Village) for happy hour with cheap draws and half-price anytizers (their word, not mine).
Hope to see you all there for another night of fun /r/lincoln style!

How do you think internet memes have developed?
|
I was walking home yesterday and I had a spontaneous thought about something I saw in /r/adviceanimals earlier that day. It was something along the lines of "this happened to me this morning" and was a very unique situation classified by a meme. It also happens that very popular threads get "memed". An example is the Van Gogh cake from last week - someone posted they made a cake for their boyfriend, than someone made an overly attached girlfriend meme.
So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how Internet memes has developed. The best I thought of was:
1. Situations that are generally recognized by everyone creates the meme.
2. People post other generally recognized situations.
3. This creates some type of objectivity or generality in the meme.
4. Very specialist examples can then be used. Despite people being unable to identify with the situation, they can now identify with the meme.
5. This leads to most people expressing subjective situations as objective memes. But the memes were created with "objective" situations.
Does anyone have any better account for the progression of memes?

Fellow Europeans, we need to talk about ACTA...
|
You might have seen or maybe even signed the petition against ACTA. Or you might have vented on reddit or your local newspaper. But let me tell you something: It is not enough.
I work in the European Parliament as an assistant for one of the elected members of the European parliament (MEP) - and from what I see here every day there are two things that need to happen for ACTA to stop:
1. **people need to stand on the streets.** Yes, they need to, and not just in the member states, we need a demonstration in Brussels, that is where the MEPs will hear you. The ideal time is probably the 28th/29th of March because then the plenary will be in Brussels (usually it is in Strasbourg). And with people - well, I mean YOU.
2. **Send EMAILS and CALL.** Seriously. We got maybe 50 emails so far on ACTA, and not a single phone call. If you want to save the internet then we need to be unable to work over here, we need to be busy picking up the phone or reading emails - because else no one will notice. We get a few hundred emails every day - make it a thousand on ACTA per day (500 million Europeans...) - and you WILL be heard.
Here is a list of MEP email addresses]( ([tinypaste MIRROR GET STARTED!

Just watched a 2011 PBS Nova with a part featuring Andre Fenton, his "place avoidance" test, and "PKM Zeta", in regard to memory recall, and I'm a bit skeptical. Any people here familiar with the subject?
|
I understand many - if not most - times, TV docs gloss over important details and end up misrepresenting even elegant or simple science, but I didn't fully get the sense in this case, which is why I'd like to ask more-informed people.
The basic summary of the experiment, as portrayed on Nova, was to make rats remember to avoid a certain region of a metal plate they were placed on by electrifying said region. Once rats learned to avoid that spot, they were then injected with a chemical to inhibit "PKM Zeta", which I think is a lesser neurotransmitter?
On doing this, the research team found the rats ran all over the plate again, with no apparent recall of the earlier avoidance memory. At least as portrayed in the Nova doc, the researchers then literally broke out the champagne and celebrated finding the chemical actor in long-term memory recall.
I'm curious if and how the research team controlled for any other possible explanations for the change in the rats' behavior other than the blocking of long-term memory, of which it seems like there must be many, the simplest of which being the rats just being generally impaired. Anyone here familiar with this or subsequent studies?

My mom (45F) is sleeping with her friend's son (22M) and it's bothering me. Why am I (22M) bothered and how do I deal with this?
|
First of all, please don't think there is ANY incestual thing going on here with what I'm thinking and how I feel. But I still don't know the reason for how I feel and was hoping I can get some input on how to deal with it.
I just got back from a 6-month internship in Chicago for work about 2 weeks ago and will be living with my mom for a while until I save up enough money to move out. Last night, I get home earlier than expected from a friend's house and decide to go to my room upstairs and watch some tv for a bit. As I walked by my mom's room, I heard her talking to someone whose voice sounded really familiar. I have no freaking clue why but my dumbass decided to look through the crack in the door. When I did, I saw my mom and her friend's son fully naked walking into her bedroom shower together. I know, stupid move on my part but I wasn't thinking when I decided to look.
Right there, I felt sick to my stomach. I went into my room where I began to hear faint sex noises coming from my mom's bathroom. I felt like shit, was upset, and a little bit jealous in an over-protective way. Again, I have no weird feelings like that for my mom whatsoever but I don't know why I was feeling the way I was. Anyway, I hid in my room until he left, I began to feel sick about what I just found out.
My mom's friend's son and I went to the same high school and were in the same grade. But we were never friends (not in the same social circle) but we weren't enemies either. But finding out that he is screwing my mom pissed me off and makes me dislike him. As childish as this sounds, it makes me want to screw his mom as payback. I only told my really close female friend about this and she said that my "jealousy" and anger might stem from the same over-protective feeling any guy has when someone says a "your mama" joke to him. Like I feel like the guy is using or "defiling" my mom's body for his pleasure. I know, sounds stupid but she may have had a point.
Should I confront my mom about me knowing? Should I confront the guy without getting into any physical altercations? Do I have a right to feel upset about this? How do I deal with this? If anyone has an idea, let me know. Feel free to PM me too if you're afraid you'll get downvoted to oblivion I guess. I just need some input. Thanks.
TL;DR - Mom is sleeping with her friend's son (an old high school classmate) and it's bothering me. How do I deal?

Need help convincing family to evacuate

I've tried every reasonable argument ("better safe than sorry", "do you want to die?", "this isn't like anything else ever") and my dad and grandmother still believe that absolutely nothing is going to happen.
The county and state governments straight up told us to evacuate and they refuse to because it's "inconvenient". My dad said if we were evacuating at all, we would go stay with my uncle - who lives a literal 10 second walk from the water. Yes, these dumbasses are considering evacuating TO THE COASTLINE during a hurricane.
What the hell do I do?

Found a wallet! No ID or any foreseeable way to get in contact with the owner... how do I get it back to its rightful owner?
|
I work in a mall, and about a month ago a wallet was brought to the back to be placed in the lost and found. After 4 weeks of it having not been claimed, I am trying to find who it belongs to. There is no ID inside, only a few gift cards and (presumably) the name of the owner of the wallet, "Paige" printed on a piece of paper and placed inside. There are two receipts as well, but neither have a name on them, and one was paid for with cash. The other used a MasterCard.
Is there any way I can use the gift card numbers to potentially track down who this belongs to? Or who may have purchased the gift cards, so they can contact the owner of the wallet? I feel this would probably violate some privacy policies, but I would really like to get this wallet back to who it belongs to!

Hey r/starcraft, please help me with my research project!
|
Hey guys, I need community help for a research project I am doing at my high school. Basically, I am just trying to see the if playing StarCraft II has any short term effects on reaction times. If you would like to participate, this is all I need you to do;
1. Firstly, you will need to have SC2Gears installed. If you don't and still want to participate, you can download it here. It's a great program regardless.
2. After this you will need to play a round of the "Mouse Practice Game", which can be found under the "Tools" header on the program's main navigation bar. After you do this, take a screenshot of the result (it should look like this. Save this screenshot as "Game 1" or something similar.
3. Now, immediately following, play a multiplayer 1v1 game of StarCraft II. Obviously, if the person leaves right away or something similar, play another one. Save the replay as something you can remember.
4. Now, go back to SC2Gears and retry the "Mouse Practice Game", and save the score like the first time. Email your first screenshot, your game replay, and your second screenshot to [email protected].
And that's about it! Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help with this, and have fun playing!
Also thanks to the author of SC2Gears. He helped make this little project possible, so check out the program if you can.

What is the relationship between a circle's diameter (unknown) and a circumscribed regular polygon (with known side lengths)?
|
This question stems from when I was measuring the bolt pattern on my steel rims earlier. With an even-sided regular polygon the answer is easy... just measure the distance between a bolt and the one on the opposite side, and that measurement will go through the center of the circle, instantly giving you its diameter. However, with an odd-sided polygon (my car has 5 bolts) it's not so straightforward. Is there a general formula will give me the diameter of the circle, when given the distance between any two bolts (adjacent or opposite bolts, it doesn't matter) of an n-sided regular polygon? Thanks.
**Edit:** I think my title is wrong. That should probably say "inscribed" instead of "circumscribed", correct?

NeutralPolitics, please meet BrightGreen, a reddit for evidence-based environmentalism
|
Good evening, NeutralPolitics!
A few months ago I got sick of what I saw as excessively zealous, emotion-based argumentation about environmentalism. While I have strong views about the environment (I’m in favor), I’d rather have a substantive conversation than an argument. This struck a chord.
So I started **r/BrightGreen**, and there was a wave of really good material there. Unfortunately, I got busy with work and didn’t do much to sustain or promote it, so it’s not very active right now.
NP and BG share a lot of intentions about providing a lively but civil and fact-based forum, and I’ve been impressed with NP so far. Dear reader, if you have any interest in environmentalism (in the broadest sense, including things like population biology and energy policy), I’d love to see you in r/BrightGreen.
Thanks!

Repairing a Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-D (2nd edition)

A colleague is willing to sell me this beautiful lens very cheaply.
The lens used to belong to a newspaper-photographer. The lens has a 'grinding' focus ring. My colleague's explanation is that the lubricant must have dried out and that I can probably bring it in for repair.
I like to tinker with mechanics and electronics and would like to save the repair costs by doing it myself. On a Russian website I found a Nikon manual for disassembling the lens, as well as a parts-list.

I got a warning for backing into a parking space in my gated community condo parking lot. I've never heard of this before. What is the reason and is this common?
|
A little background: I live in St. Pete, Florida in a gated community. There are security guards that ride around in golf carts.
Today my wife and I got home from camping, backed the car into a regular parking space to unload and then went on with our day.
A few hours later I got a call from the security guard saying, "You backed your car into a parking space." What followed were about 10 seconds of awkward silence while I was trying to figure out what she was telling me. Finally she told me I needed to turn my car around because I could get a ticket.
Now, this could just be a rule that my complex has, but after a few Google searches, I don't think so. Seems like other people in FL have had this happen to them as well, but I haven't seen an good explanation as to why.
I've never even heard of this before. What is the reason and is it prevalent throughout the U.S.?
**tl;dr: I got a warning for backing my car into a parking space. What's the deal?**
**Edit**: I have Delaware tags, only in the back, and one of the things I read when I Googled was that FL only issues rear tags and that was the reason, but I read elsewhere that this is not true. I was hoping someone here would know for sure. I also read that they have the same law in CA. Also, we do have a complex pass, but it's a piece of paper that sits on the driver's side dash.

Out of shape personal trainers really piss me off.
|
How can you get paid to help people get in shape when you are completely out of shape?
I workout at a Bailey's and there are numerous trainers who are completely out of shape, it makes my blood boil. Another example would be some kid I went to high school with who got his training certificate and post about doing private sessions, and he looks like absolute garbage.
I'm not saying as a trainer you need to be on the cover of a workout magazine but at least be in some semblance of shape. If you have the knowledge to educate others on how to get in shape and become healthier how can you not practice what you preach?
I'm not trying to sound like a snob or a dickhead but there is absolutely no way I'd ever pay to train with someone who isn't in better shape than me.
Just had to get that off my chest. Anyone else see this and get sickened by it?

[PHP] Could use some reviews on this first 'finished' script (parsing html)
|
Hello! I posted a few days ago about creating a database that would contain reviews for comic books from different websites and average the scores (like MetaCritic does for TV, Movies and Games). This was my very first time using PHP (I program almost exclusively in C usually, or Lisp) and I was wondering if anybody had feedbacks they could provide.
The first site I decided to parse for reviews is ComicBookResources.com because it was the one with the best information about the issue (artist, writer, cover image...) and it's probably one of the most popular ones out there so they tend to review pretty much everything. The final project will be a few of those script reading RSS feeds for reviews then parsing those reviews for scores on multiple websites.
You can check out the code on my GitHub.
Can anybody see things that are clearly wrong? Parsing HTML felt incredibly *hack-y* but I guess as long as the template doesn't change too much it should work.
Thanks!

Westboro Baptist Church is coming to Saint Louis, Missouri to protest Clayton High School's GSA.
|
A couple days ago I found out that on Monday, February 6, from 7:50-8:20 AM the Westboro Baptist Church picketers will be in St. Louis protesting Clayton High School's Gay-Straight Alliance.
WBC made this statement on their website:
>
>WBC to warn the children of Clayton High School to flee the wrath to come!
>
>The children of this generation have been taught to believe that God is a liar: God loves everyone, it's okay to be gay, divorce & remarriage is fine, premarital/extramarital sex is acceptable, etc. You've taught your daughters to be whores and your sons to be fags. We will be there to warn them to repent or perish.
>
>Like all of mankind, these children have a duty to fear God and keep his commandments. Ec 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
>
>One of those commandments is to warn your neighbor that their sins are taking them to hell. They've been lied to all their lives by their parents, teachers, raping priests, pastors, coaches, etc. WBC must warn them! WBC made this statement on their website:

Students from Clayton and LGBT advocates from all over are organizing a counter-protest that is open for anyone to attend. If any of you are able to get over here, do so. Also remember that you're going to be representing Clayton High School's image, so don't carry any signs attacking WBC. Try something along the lines of "Love is Greater than Hate", something less directed at them.
Lastly, thanks very much for reading this long-winded post.

I'm having withdrawal seizures and am looking for info
|
Hi, I am a heavy drinker of 20 years and just quit cold turkey last thursday. I slipped up last night and have 12 beers (usually I have about 20). This morning I woke up to a seizure. I then had another one about 10 minutes later.
I just had another one now and remained conscious through it. A nurse friend of mine witnessed it and stated that it was not like seizures she's seen in the past. She thought it looked very mild (body stiff, arms shaking, eyes open).
I am wondering for how many days will these continue? I found next to no info on google regarding the length of time that these will last.
Also note, I've quit cold turkey in the past but has never had a seizure in my life before today.
Thank you for your time.

Petter Vaagan Moen has signed for LSK
|
(From LSK.no
Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. Petter Vaagan Moen signed a three-year contract with LSK. The 28-year-old is delighted to be LSK player.
- I see the potential of both the team and the club, and am looking forward to playing in the yellow and black shirt. Efforts are being made, and it's something I want to participate in. LSK also have a coach Magnus Haglund who wants me and wants to focus on me. After a challenging year in England, it is now important for me to get a sense of security, and to know that I am going to a club where I can develop myself and be counted on, says Petter Vaagan Moen to LSK.no.
After 171 games in the Premier Divison for both Ham-kam and Brann, Vaagan Moen went to Queens Park Rangers. There, he was not given the playing time he wanted. Now he's back in Norway.
- The most important thing for me is that I come to a club where I can become a better football player. That, I think I can do at Åråsen, he said.
- There are potential for development here. I always want to be better, and after a chat with Torgeir Bjarmann and Magnus Haglund, I made up my mind.
The ambitions of Vaagan Moen and LSK are the same.
- LSK wants to fight in the top, but it is not done overnight, given that the club has a new coach and many new players. It must be worked on over time to produce results. We need to create a winning culture, and not just training culture. We must have the mentality. We must never be satisfied, but fight harder than everyone else. It has not been customary to fight for gold here, and such things are not done in a year.
- But we can fight on the upper part of the table this year. That's why I'm here. I have come here to win something in the long run, but I know that it isn't done in a wave of the hand. It's very even in the Premier League and anything can happen. We must be on our toes, anddo the job one hundred percent all the way.
Vaagan Moen boasts LSK and their supporters.
- In addition, there is soul in the club. LSK longs for good results and it is something I would like to contribute. It is tradition here, and I've always heard that it is winning culture in the walls. It has always been fun to come here to play games, and songs that the Canary fans sing during matches buzz in your head for hours afterwards.
- I've got a very good impression of the supporters of LSK. I've also been in Brann where the fans were very good, and I am looking forward to playing for LSK fans.

I've literally just been sick about 10 minutes ago, however I did not feel nauseous at all, it came rather suddenly. Is there any reason why I was suddenly sick?
|
Has anyone experienced just random sickness (by this I mean just been sick) if so, what caused it? My temperature is normal, I don't feel ill or any stomach pain. Apart from the burning sensation in my throat.
Or can someone perhaps gives me a few reasons why?
I've been experiencing mild heartburn these past few days also.

As requested, My first FNM deck I compiled. Consists of cards from two event decks. Seeking major advice.
|
So I went to my first FNM ever. Had a blast actually. Most of the people there were really helpful and knowledgeable. I had recently bought two event decks and decided to put them together. Two decks were "hold the line" and "Humans Vengeance." I did pretty bad as expected. Came in 6th out of 8th, but had so much fun. Ive never constructed my own deck before and I know that this deck is sort of all over the place. Looking for some revision advice on this. I want to go out and buy singles so I can make this deck more consistent. I would like to keep it blue/white if possible. heres the deck. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

Suggestion: Show 180 minute custom game timer outside of score screen
|
I find myself unsure when my 180 minutes have been reset, so the only way for me to find out is to play a 20-40min game of LoL. It's pretty annoying to find out you received no exp or ip from your time invested. I know most people dont care about this because not many people past level 15 play custom games 3 hours+ a day but for the few that do I think it would be a welcome change? If there is an option that indicates it elsewhere I'd love to know where =D

What control setup will you be using for Diablo?
|
I am curious how everyone will be setting up their controls. I have already opted for the more comfortable QWER over 1234 control scheme, along with a force move key somewhere near QWER.
But now I must wonder, what about my mouse? I probably won't use all of the crazy side buttons, but I'm debating setting my move/standard attack to right-click. Most recent RTS/MOBA games have me stuck on this setup, but I'm not so sure about the change because Diablo feels okay either way.
What will you be doing for your setup and why?
EDIT: What's with the down votes? I am sure people are interested in control schemes (the game relies on split-second player decisions). This subreddit is better than that.

The flight can be searched for by airport and the matching suit. (e.g. Washington may be ASA7644 one week and ASA7632 the next but the team will always depart KSEA the day before the game)
* SEC - Due to smaller home airports Ole Miss and Georgia sometimes use multiple smaller aircraft for travel. They share the same ASQ flight numbers and the flight numbers are also used for various smaller SEC teams (basketball, etc.)
* The easiest way to find a flight for a team that uses Alaska (ASA), Miami Air (BSK), Jetblue (JBU), or Sun Country (SCX) for their charter is to find the airport of the team they are playing, click THIS LINK

Riot, can the Season 2 finals please be multi-streamed on both own3d and twitch?
|
Yes, I saw the thread the other day about people addressing Riot in their thread titles but I believe this needs to be addressed ASAP as Riot has been very quiet on what platforms they will stream on and it's honestly doing my head in because so many people have different experiences with every provider.
For Dreamhack, the S1 qualifiers were streamed on own3d which I personally loved. From here, I believe Riot tried using Twitch for the EU qualifiers before moving onto Ustream for the World Invitationals and the NA Qualifiers.
Obviously I prefer own3d as so far it has been the most fluid for me since I started watching streams back in '09 (I'm from Sydney, Australia) and recently twitch has been getting better (though it's still far from perfect).
My problem lies of course with Ustream, when watching the NA qualifiers, I had to wake up at 4am only to watch three seconds of gameplay followed by audio/video delay. I couldn't take it so I recorded my experience in this video:
@33s
I open 4 different streams on own3d all on HD and play them simultaneously without any lag to show it isn't just my connection.
@2:04
I go back to the Ustream to show that it is still very laggy for me as you can see the audio and the video jumping at random parts.
@2:32
I close the other own3d streams incase they impacted on the Ustream cast (they didn't).
With that said, is it possible to get multi-streams for the Season 2 finals? MLG does it by having their tournaments broadcasted on both Twitch and Own3d and I find this is by far the best solution.
**tl;dr For the Season 2 finals, can we have the games broadcasted on Twitch/Own3d? riot pls**

Trahearne's future [possible spoilers inside]
|
So I know a lot of you guys hate Trahearne and/or don't like him at all as the "main hero" of the story, but did you ever think of the possibilities of what could happen with him in the future?
Some of us have already seen a scene from Trahearne's future, which was nothing special or unpredictable after the course of events from the personal storyline, at least for me. But then there was a big talk about a certain possibility: the chance of the pale tree and the silvary race itself to be connected to a certain dragon.
So what possibilities does this give us for future development?
Trahearne turning into the bad guy over a course of future events and betraying those who fight the dragons could be one of those developments and I for one am using up all my prayers for such an outcome. Fighting Trahearne after he got all the honor for all the stuff you yourself did would be plain awesome.
I could also imagine Trahearne fighting all the other dragons in order to clear the way for the one dragon that is connected to the Silvary.
What are your thoughts on these possibilities?
On a side note: Sry for my bad english and if this topic has been talked about already consider this thread as closed ;)

enderdragons are way too easy
|
so i went to the end for the first time legitimately in my hardcore file, and i was prepared for anything. then i realized what a joke the enderdragon is. i mean it should at least do like 2 damage or something, and i understand that he has a ton of knockback but that's only a problem if you actually climb up to the top of the pillars to destroy the crystals, which you should just use your arrows for as it's way easier and faster.
but seriously jeb_, make the enderdragon more of a challenge.

I figured I'd have to ask her eventually and I may as well get it out of the way so I decided to ask her out today. Basically when it was finally just me and her, I asked her using a bit of an inside joke. She told me "You are so stupid" and kind of laughed it off. She proceeded to basically walk away from me and avoid me. I never got an answer. Now I can't fall asleep. MMFB?

[Suggestions] Hammers + Enchantments
|
Me and my mate had a good idea on a server yesterday. Hammers.
Yes hammers.
Here are some Q+A's:
* **What are they good for?**
There purpose is to fill the small gap between a sword and a pickaxe. They can be used to destroy stone quicker than your hand but not as fast as a pickaxe, yet at the same time, when right clicking, be able to attack harder than your hand yet not as powerful as a sword. So it is like carrying a sword and a pickaxe at the same time, but without the same power.
* **But why not just carry around a pickaxe and a sword?**
Well, there are two reasons not to; 1. It can have awesome enchantments. 2. There actually is a difference between scrolling and clicking. Try it now. Put your fingers on the right and left mouse button and see how much quicker it is to just click either button rather than scroll and click.
* **So what is the enchantment?**
Lightning. Yes. You take your enchanted hammer and when you right click, it will both attack and strike lightning down on your opponents. In other words, Thor's hammer.
* **Won't it get overpowered with lightning and start spamming?**
The hammer can have a reload time, of say 20 seconds which can use the same technology as a bed, as the game tells you that you can't use it yet.
* **How do I craft it?**
Wood:
Diamond
Iron:
Gold:
Stone:
No hammer pictures yet, but I guess if anyone is interested in this they can make some haha.
And yes, this may probably have a mod, but I want to share my ideas on it.
EDIT: Added stone hammers because I forgot them haha
EDIT2: Added cooldown time

As much as the movies cut down some important plot lines, they do have alot of useless scenes in the movies
(Granted these are just my opinion)
* The scene in POA in which Harry can't control the book for Hagrid's class...ugh wrap it up
* Every scene with Grawp
* Rita fucking Skeeter
* The fat lady singing and refusing to open the portrait in POA
* When the kids eat candy that turns them into diff objects and animals *sigh*
I'm sure there's many more. What do you think is a useless scene in the movies.

Reddit, I am allergic to water. Anyone else have any weird allergies?

OK, i am not allergic to water *per se* but I am allergic to Fluoride. I live in Florida and the water is infused with Fluoride to strengthen the enamel on your teeth. Because of this I am not able to drink the water without having an allergic reaction (projectile vom fest & a volcanic eruption within my colon)-I'm very lady like, i know. Not only can I not drink the tap water but I also cannot eat foods cooked in it, so no noodles, steamed veggies, or anything else cooked with water. It's not as bad as it sounds since I can eat foods cooked with bottled water but it does keep me from eating out at restaurants a lot of the time. Anyone else on reddit have any weird allergies? And this is not me trying to get a pity party, I am honestly curious!

Every time I drink I get anxiety attacks
|
Hi guys. I'm new to /r/Anxiety so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to put this. I've had anxiety problems for a few years. I worry too much and I get panic attacks easily because of it. I turned 21 a couple of days ago and so my friends have been taking me out every day. Now, I'm really not a big drinker and I've had bad experiences with drinking because some of my friends like to drink more than they can handle, making the night that started fun turn into a disaster. This happened on multiple occasions, so now drinking makes me uncomfortable (and drunk people in general). My friends have been hell bent on giving me good experiences at the bars but every time I drink something, I get tipsy almost instantly (I'm a very petite, 4'11" girl) which makes me break into a panic attack. Another problem I have is I get really worried that I'm causing everyone else to lose their buzz because I don't like drinking, thus giving them a bad time. I know, I worry way too much. I want to have a good time out with my friends and I don't want anxiety to get in the way. I know I don't need to drink when I'm out, so that's not a problem. But I'd like to at least be able to be calm when I'm out and be able to sip on a drink. And eventually I would like to have a drink, feel it and not care. I think I'm looking for relaxing tips and I'm wondering if anyone has gone through this also. Thank you in advance for responding.

I'll turn your existing logo in any format into a vector image
|
Hello wonderful people of INEEDAFAVOR,
I'm a professional graphic designer who likes to come to Reddit (and this subreddit specifically) every so often and help out some Redditors. I am going to be finished up a few paid projects this week, and am offering to convert an existing logo (perhaps one that was done in raster format) into a fully scalable vector image.
Please be aware the difference between a raster image (one using pixels) is significantly different than the industry-standard vector format. Basically, there can't be any crazy gradients and such (I don't honestly have time to do a lot of gradient meshing at this point). However, a few solid colors or black/white would be fine. I'm also willing to recreate images in vector of graphics or designs (think tee shirts graphics, etc.).
At this time I am available to take on two projects, unless you are okay with waiting until those are done first up to a maximum of four projects (two active, and two in the queue).
Upon agreement to do the work, you will receive client login credentials to my site which gives updates as they become available on the project being worked on.

Pan frying vs Baking Bacon...
|
How come when I pan fry bacon there is literally a pool of grease/fat, but when I bake it in the oven there's only a couple of drops? I bake it on a cooling rack, if that matters and I pan fry in an iron skillet. Is it healthier to pan fry? since it appears a lot of the fat is left over? I literally get like half a jar of grease after pan frying but just drops from baking. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: okay, so after baking the second pack of bacon (a lesser quality, the first pack was a thicker, higher quality bacon) I can see a significant amount of grease that leaked through the foil, but still not nearly as much as when I pan fry. I will add though the grease appears to be a lot more pure? almost like vegetable oil, as also mentioned below.

How can we experience such seemingly long dream sequences if REM Sleep cycles only last 10-15 minutes?
|
I may be wrong, but it's my understanding that there is REM sleep during which dreaming occurs which lasts about 10-15 minutes, then we go through Stages 1-4 then 4-1 of the sleep cycle before we get back to REM sleep.
Furthermore, we very rarely can recall our dreams unless we are woken up during REM sleep. I'm perhaps incorrectly presupposing that dream sequences are not continuous and related from one period of REM sleep to another because of the long period of time separating them.
So, my question then is how can we experience "events" during dreams that we perceive to elapse over a significantly longer period of time than actually passes in the real world?
Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to read and respond.

I've taken a lot of Lithuania's provinces (they only have their capital), but I'm coming up short on how to grow my economy. My merchants suck, and I'm focusing on production, since someone mentioned it would be better suited for me.
While I've been expanding, so have the Golden Horde. They've kicked Moscow's ass, and after I took most of Lithuania, I ended up bordering them. I've never dealt with a horde before, so I was a bit confused, but I managed to take one of their provinces, and donated it do someone else, so that I have a buffer. Any input on how to deal with the hordes, when I have no current interest in their provinces?
I've read that since the TO starts out with crap government type, I have to wait to 1500's to change, but I've barely dealt with changing government types before, and would like some more info.
On a side note, the bastard Sweden got me excommunicated, but that goes away when my rule dies, right?
TL DR:
* How do you build a production focused economy (as opposed to a trade focused)?
* How do you deal with the hordes, when you don't want to conquer them (or don't have the money / strenght)?
* How to "undo" excommunications?
* How do I know when I can change government type from my crappy one, to a better one?
This all became much longer then I thought it would be, but thanks if you read the whole thing, and thanks again for any answers.
Edit: I also remembered that I currently have the mission to annex my vassal Riga. They became my vassal pretty early, and have been vassal for over 50 years, yet they won't accept to be annexed. I have a fairly high infamy of around 15, do I have to wait for that to be 0 until I try to diplo-annex (correct term) them?
Edit 2: I just tired the diplo-annex thing, and when I had 0 infamy, they said "maybe" to being annexed. On the second attempt they accepted, and as such, I lost 1 stability and got a core on Riga.

So I'm about to buy an older house with aluminum wiring. Help!
|
I am about to close on a house. It was built in 1968 and has aluminum wiring. When going over the house with the home inspector, we checked some of the outlets. Out of the 6 we checked, one of the fixtures was rated for copper only. Another had the wrong nuts as well. I have read that aluminum wiring is not an issue as long as the fixtures are rated for aluminum, but I keep getting mixed answers from different people. Any experts know if this is an issue?

I think I might have encountered a hacker while playing on XBL... [video inside]
|
So guys, I played a match today and I noticed one the opponent players was acting quite strangely.
The first time he killed me, I was running from the US Spawn to the bridge (where the E flag is located in PC Conquest) and he started shooting at me. I emptied a whole FAMAS mag directly at him and **none** of my bullets ever hit him, afterwards he came in front of me and although we were face to face, he assasinated me (At first I thought I was lagging, but actually **I wasn't**).
Later on, I noticed that also my teammates were unable to kill this guy by using their weapons, since the bullets just went throught him like he was a ghost and the only way to kill him is by throwing nades at his feet or by knife assasinations, while he was able to kill everybody with ease!
*Even more strangely, this guy has played 177 hours, has almost 7000 kills with the knife and still has a positive K/D Ratio.
**I've recorded him with my mobile phone and I made a youtube vid. Just see what he does and tell me if this is even possible without using any hacks (especially in the first clip where he runs to bunch of my teammates and he C4s them without even get hurt)
*TL/DR*: I've might have found a hacker playing bf3, see the vid and tell me your thoughts..

Can you use your Sheetz mycard to pump first?
|
Like swipe it at the machine, pump the gas, and then go pay.
I mostly always use cash when getting gas. I always went in and payed first just guessing how much to put in.. So can you use your sheetz mycard to reverse the order?

[Candidacy] Minister of Health and Disease Control
|
Before I became a citizen of the great nation of Uberia, I was a lowly man studying the healing arts. Now I wish to put my training and skills to work for my new nation. As Minister of Health and Disease Control, I would ensure that our citizens have access to the best of healthcare and ensure the spread of diseases was carefully monitored and controlled via vaccinations, genetic modification, or (if it comes to it) quarantines. I would tirelessly work to keep our citizens healthy.

Any tips for hiding how high you are?
|
I find myself often taking unintentional tolerance breaks due to lack of funds. It's cool because when I do get to smoke, I get high as shit. However, I have to wait a long time to come down to the point where I'm able to seem sober. I usually go to a friend's house, but I feel like a burden. Can anyone tell me how to hide how high I am? I'm not talking about just the smell or the red eyes, but the actual "high-ness," for lack of a better term.

Amazing Guide To Pokémon TCG (X-Post from /
pkmntcg)
|
**
This was posted on /r/pkmntcg but thought it could use posting on /PTCGO in case anyone here doesn't visit that subreddit. This is by far one of the best resources on the TCG I have read in a long time. It's aimed at the physical card game, but obviously most of that transfers over to PTCGO.
I will be recommending/linking the article to any new players who seem interested to start playing PTCGO competitively and I'd encourage you to do the same.
You can skip the first little bit about where to buy cards, but everything after "Choosing Your Pokemon" is pure gold.

I got diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder but i think it's just social anxiety.
|
I quit school because of my anxiety so my mom took me to do a diagnosis and they said i have autism spectrum disorder.
To me it feels like i have social anxiety and everybody has it wrong because some symptoms look like autism spectrum disorder.
I've read about asperger and autism spectrum disorders a lot and i don't feel like it describes me at all but social anxiety fits me perfectly.
So how do i know which one i have?

So Valve STILL hasn't fixed the exploit hackers use to make themselves near unkickable.
|
I'm not even that angry. Just disappointed that they *still* simply do not give a flying fuck about something this bad. The problem has existed for years, and their halfass attempts to fix it have been pathetic.
I'm talking about the name changing exploit, of course. Instead of doing something that makes sense like having the built in kick menu update in real time (so you can easily spot these asshats), Valve put in a very slight delay before you can change your name. Whoop de fucking do. Doesn't help at all if your dupe detection sucks, which it still does. Yes, server admins can work around this if they know how. Many don't know how. It also does nothing when the admins aren't online and it's up to the players to kick. And when my favourite servers are full, there's nothing wrong with playing on a Valve server. They're better than Lotus or Skial or saigns or something like that. Thing is, it can become damn near impossible to play for more than 3 minutes at a time because the hacker will literally go from server to server and empty them all, one at a time. It's ridiculous and it's completely unacceptable.
It's just disappointing that they haven't fixed this yet. It's not difficult. At all. It's a huge issue, it's one that comes up frequently, and it's one they just fucking pretend doesn't exist. Not okay. But I guess you can't sell a fix like this in the Mann Co store, and that's about all they care about post Polycount.
Also, while we're on the subject, I'll just point out that the only reason this happens at all is free to play. Hackers were an extreme rarity before F2P because it would actually cost them something. Now we're stuck with a report button that does nothing (seriously, VAC is automated, manual VAC bans are never for cheating), and a VAC system that also does nothing. GG, Valve.
Just felt like ranting for a bit since I can't really play. Maybe one day they'll fix it. Maybe one day Gabe will be able to pick up an object he drops.

How do you spend less than £70 on a night out?!
|
Do tell.
To be fair, cab money is an easy £10 (that's best-case per person scenario if a 7-seater is full of us back across the water to south London) and there's the obligatory rounds that set you back a few but please do tell, /r/London, how you manage to spend less than, say, £70 on a night out pubbing and clubbing in London.
It's costing me an eye-watering amount each month.

Some questions after three weeks on seroquel
|
Hi all,
I was diagnosed as BP2 about 8 years ago, and just recently got on seroquel because I wasn't feeling that happy/ambitious. Having taken it for three weeks, I have some questions.
I've asked these questions to my clinician (except the LAST ONE, because I was a weenie), and she basically told me to be patient, and that the positive effects take some time, while the side effects are immediate. In any event, I'd like to get your thoughts (and thanks in advance!)
1. Perhaps obviously, the drowsiness,sleepiness, and increased need for sleep are frustrating. It's still to the point where I feel like I need at least 8 hours of sleep to feel fully rested, and I have a dickens of a time waking up to that point. As a student, I can afford more sleep in the summer when I'm not taking classes, but as the school year rolls around, and particularly as exam time comes, I fear that I'm not going to be able to afford it. My doc told me it's ok to go off seroquel for three weeks or however long exams take. Does that sound about right?
2. Because of the increased need for sleep and my work schedule, I've started taking it at 8 PM instead of at bedtime, so that I'm still as a rock by about 11:00PM and stay asleep until about 6:30/7. Are there strategies other than dose timing that can help me manage this?
3. I've always been a restless sleeper -- thrashing about and so on -- and it seems that seroquel does help me to get more restful sleep. My girlfriend has noticed, though, that I get periodic, rapid twitchiness in my legs while I'm sleeping. I'm not concerned by this -- I'm asleep, after all -- but it's very irritating for her. Does this seem out of the ordinary?
4. On weight gain -- does anyone know the mechanism by which seroquel tends to lead to weight gain? I've noticed that it makes me very hungry between the time that I take it and when I go to sleep, and I become a bit of a cookie monster in ways that I am usually not. I exercise a lot, so I haven't seen any actual weight gain, but I'm wondering if there are any ways I can avoid it. Is it merely brought on by eating more, or are there additional metabolic impacts?
5. The question I haven't asked my clinician, even though privacy and reasonableness probably could have allowed it -- I'm a recovering alcoholic with about 8 mos. of sobriety. Weed was never my thing; I'm sensitive to it, and while I enjoy the sensation, I never felt the need to dive headlong into it. With that said, the opportunity to smoke has come up this weekend. Is it safe to smoke it while on seroquel? Both make me faze out and make me hungry, and I can imagine being catatonic with profound munchies if I try them at the same time. I could skip a night of the seroquel to play it safe -- I'm wondering if anyone has insight on this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

What's a good brand of trick card decks?
|
My little brother's birthday is coming up and he's gotten into doing card tricks these past few months. I was hoping to get him an invisible deck and a svengali deck, but wasn't sure which brand to buy.
Is there a brand that tends to work best?

Any non-regret tattoo stories?
|
I know that there are tons of people who've gotten tattoos and regretted them, whether it be immediately or later in life, but what I'm wondering is are there any redditors out there who got a tattoo and have no regrets about it whatsoever?
