Sitting in the same base / area fighting the same people over and over is not fun. Why such a large departure from planetside 1?
I have been in the game since day 2 of tech test, and it is literally the same thing over and over and over. The exact same bases are contested by the exact same factions. There is no sense of pushing forward like there was in planetside 1. Combat time is too quick and promotes players turtling small bases. Tanks die too fast so there's rarely a forward push. Bases are flipped / defended and on a timer for too short of a time. I remember fighting for hours at one base on Cyssor to FINALLY capture it and feel so much relief and see the experience just roll in. That feeling is not here. The game is stale. It is boring. It's lacking everything that made Planetside 1 good. The resource mechanic is just stupid. Why have a timer ....... and resources? I never say "hey let's go get x base for y resource". It's just a dumb after thought and half the time I cap out on it without even thinking. The base design is just stupid. The amount of bases is stupid. Back capturing is stupid. The game feels like 8 battlefield 3 maps sewn together where everyone can do everything. The game has no depth. You run around shooting people on a large map. There's no sense of fighting for your empire. Sure some of you new people to planetside will shoot me down, but I have talked to many many vets who have been playing since 03 and most feel the same way. But hey if this is what SOE wants, fine. It's their game. I was planning on spending money on this because I loved PS1. Now I could care less. Not as bad as Curt Shilling's mmo and 38 studios though. :)

When will 3D technology like Tupac's hologram be affordable for the general public?
Ok so Tupac's hologram at Coachella was pretty badass, very convincing and 'real'. To me, this is what 3D was always meant to be about. Glasses always leave me a bit disappointed no matter how cool they are. My questions: When will entire movies be developed with this technology? When will we be able to see them in theatres? and when in our living room? Imagine getting high and watching Avatar or Inception (or whatever they'll have then) with that technology!! And what about porn? I'm a little fucking impatient to be honest EDIT: Tupacs video for reference

[Question] DAE pay attention to producers in addition to/instead of singers?
So it seems like the vast majority of K-pop redditors are huge fans of specific artists or groups, but are there any of you that pay attention to the producers of songs sung by those artists? The reason why I asked is that I noticed my musical interests are more consistent with the producers that wrote the songs for those artists as opposed to the actual artists. For example, I'm a huge fan of producers like Brave Brothers, Teddy Park, Kenzie, and MC Sniper, who have written lots of great songs for a variety of artists. On the other hand, I'm not really feeling songs that have been written by JY Park and E-Tribe. I guess that also explains why I stopped listening to Big Bang ever since they stopped singing songs produced by Brave Brothers...

Issue with downloaded armor
I've downloaded several armors (stand-alones, not replacers) from Skyrim Nexus. I can make them and use them in game just fine, even give them to followers with no issue. What I want to do is make an NPC in the CK and have the downloaded armor on them, but I can't. They don't show up, not if they're put in the inventory or in an outfit. They also don't show up if I put the downloaded armor in a chest. Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Why do we play board games?
Why do we play board games? Is it for the challenge? The pursuit of winning? The socialization aspect (though there are solo board games)? I guess in a SubReddit devoted to this hobby/obsession, we should sometimes ask why. Call it the journalist in me. Here's my attempt at explaining why I love board games: For me it has to be, above all, the time spent with friends or other gamers. It's a chance to unwind and see some people face to face, ask how they're doing and then try to grow some crops, or to crush the invading space alien horde together. Sure, I like the mental challenge of the strategy games (that is definitely second on the list), but without the face to face interaction, I don't really care. I think it's why I avoid playing Diplomacy online despite how much easier it might be. What about you folks? Why do you keep coming back to board games? I'm looking for an answer besides "it's fun". If they weren't fun, we wouldn't play them. What makes them fun? Share any stories you think best illustrate why you keep coming back to board games and what drew you in in the first place.

Update on my progress with the Sinclair Method-5 weeks now
This is just a brief update for anyone who wanted to know about my progress with the Sinclair Method, I'm now over all side effects completely, it only took a few days, I do sometimes feel more impatient after the first hour of taking it but then I just make sure to avoid queues! Even the vivid dreams have gone, which is a shame! I feel absolutely fine and have no side effects of depression or low moods. What it has done, is change my relationship with alcohol, it's happened gradually,at first I seemed to be drinking as I had before and maybe even more, but I've soldiered through, taken nal EVERY time an hour before drinking and.... I've just started developing.. not just more control and not an aversion to drink, that would imply more of an emotional involvement, but just a real indifference to it, when I think " Should I have a drink?" I just think "Nah" there's no real thinking or white knuckling through or suppressing enormous cravings-it's just a feeling of indifference and thinking I'll go and do something different instead. So far I must have at least halved my alcohol intake and if I have alcohol in the house I don't feel any need to finish it, which would have been unheard of in the past, it's just there.I'll start a can of beer and get bored with it, something that would also never have happened before-until I'd finished the six pack and gone for a bit of a lie down! I went out to dinner with friends and had two glasses of wine, a lovely evening and then just stopped. I've also been planning no alcohol days when the naloxone will be out of my system, because it suppresses your dopamine levels, when it leaves your system(after 24 hours) it causes a flood of dopamine,which means that any activities you do are enhanced, so that's when I schedule my run or weights or dance class for no alcohol no nal days, yes planning no alcohol days has been a thing of the past too and take advantage of the positive reinforcement that my brain forms with healthy activities-excellent! This is only the first month, it normally takes three to four months at least and possibly a lot longer to be fully in control of your drinking -or your abstinence, some people want to be abstinent and find they can drink socially if they want and some people are trying to control their drinking and find they want to be completely abstinent, it depends- and you have to take it an hour before you drink, every time you want to drink, for the rest of our life.I have no problem with that and it costs about $25 a month, which is probably covered by one day of not drinking! So it's working for me so far and more than that I have no side effects at all and it's just this feeling of indifference that's so new and strange, I'm just not thinking about it, I'll open a can of beer and have it sitting next to me, get involved with something and forget about it, it's not a case of desperately not trying to think about it, I've just forgotten about it. If anyone is interested, I'll post with updates again and obviously anyone can ask as many questions as they like. One thing though, I'm getting a bit fed up with the sneering, jeering comments of some of the more rabid AA ers and the sanctimonious ones. The kind of " Boy, your addiction must be doing press ups, just waiting for you to fail"and the comments where people are almost rubbing their hands in glee and hoping you fail because then they can crow " I told you so! You see AA is the only way" if I said "Wow, you're going to AA are you? Well, the success rate is about 8% and over 60% of people drop out in the first year, your addictions must be doing cart wheels, see you down the bar after you've failed! " Well....I would never say something like that, I don't believe AA is for me for a variety of reasons, but that doesn't mean it won't work for you and I fully respect and support your decision. This board is pro recovery and I wish luck and love to everyone struggling here, however you are trying to do it. I would ask for the same respect

My puppy tested positive for Giardia today. Advice/tips?
I have had this dog for two months and her past is virtually unknown. I took her into the vet and had basic blood work / stool samples taken which all came up clean and well as a couple afterwards. I've pretty much been battling her loose stool / diarrhea since day 1. I started by switching food which helped for a couple of weeks then the diarrhea started up again about a week ago and she was becoming very lethargic. My nearly 7 month old pup was due for her last round of parvo so I waited until today to have her checked out (she didn't seem sick, just a tad lazier than normal). My normal vet wasn't there today who usually takes care of her and is such a nice lady, my dog LOVES her. Instead I had a grumpy old man who my dog was terrified of and he couldn't even complete the full physical exam. After telling him her symptoms and the time line he tests her for Giardia and sure enough it came up positive. He gave me Metronidazole and something to calm her stomach. Other then that I really had no idea what to ask him and was just uncomfortable with him in general. So i'm here wondering what else I need to do? I isolated my roomates cat, cleaned and scrubbed the water / food bowl, what now? TL;DR: Pup was diagnosed with Giardia, given meds and sent on my way. Anything else I need to know?

Multi-purpose Virtualized HTPC
So I've been thinking about building a HTPC with some extra functionality attached. What I need it to do is: * Stream video/music from a NAS via gigabit ethernet * Play Blu Ray movies What I'd like it to do: * Be able to virtualize one or more virtual machines of varying OSes to fulfil various functions, eg. dedicated download machine, AD/Proxy/DHCP Server etc. Whatever I can come up with for putting into motion self training stuff. * Watch free to air Digital TV * Stream digital TV to computers connected to the local network I know the 'like to do' list is fairly ambitious but I'm fully prepared to strike stuff off the list as we go. The setup I'm envisioning for the hardware is a mini-ITX build with a low end Ivy Bridge i5, Blu-Ray combo drive and a dual Digital TV tuner. For the software, I'm thinking of building off a barebones hypervisor with: * VM dedicated to running the HTPC front end stuff. Plex and whatever else needs to be run. Win 7 Pro? * VM Win Server 2008 R2 dedicated to the back end stuff, including the Plex media server Then I can add more VMs as the need arises, or whatever stuff I need to tack on. I haven't gotten much further than those thoughts at the moment. I haven't had much experience with a hypervisor so that's going to be a bit of a learning experience for me. I'm not sure how I can make it so that one VM gets access to the video/sound output and keyboard/mouse input whilst I manage everything else remotely. That's my major concern at the moment. Any thoughts on how I should proceed from here?

The Great /r/Glocks Giveaway of 2012!!! Please upvote to the top so everyone can see - I receive no karma because this is a self-post.
So we've hit 100+ subscribers, and in a much shorter period of time than I would have guessed (it took /r/Glock 2 years to get 195 readers...). As a special thanks to those of you who have joined me in laying the foundation for /r/Glocks, and as a promotional measure to encourage new content, I am going to host an in-house giveaway for our fledgling subreddit. The basic idea behind the competition is pretty simple: starting now, and ending on Monday, October 15th at 11:59 pm (EST), the user who has received the most karma for a submitted picture of his/her Glock will be declared the victor and will receive a brand new, official Glock Armorers Tool. The guidelines: - The picture **MUST** contain your Reddit username in some way. You could write it on a card and put it in the foreground, or have your Glock sitting in front of your computer with /r/Glocks open in the background, or you could write it in ammo, or stencil it on your slide, or whatever, as long as the image clearly shows that this a picture of your Glock, taken by you, for the purposes of posting on Reddit. **EDIT**: There seems to be some confusion about this rule, so I will do my best to explain it better: I want you to take a *new* picture of your Glock(s) with your username physically *written* somewhere in the shot. You could even load up /r/Glocks on an iPad and use that as a background, as long as /r/Glocks and/or your username is legible. - You may submit and delete/repost as many times as you would like, as long as each post contains only one picture, and that one picture is unique. - You may name your submission however you like; you need not specify that the image you are posting is for the giveaway. I will just assume that any picture submitted that follows the guidelines was intended to be recognized as part of the competition. - I recommend being creative with your image. While it is perfectly acceptable for you to submit a blurry cell-phone picture of your Glock 17 on a picnic table, it will most likely not win you the competition. If you have a rare or specialty Glock, such as an OD frame, Generation 2.5 or C RTF2, I would suggest using that as your submission. - You must live on the North American continent. I apologize if anyone feels excluded. - In the unlikely case of a tie in link karma, the post that has the most comment karma within it will be considered the winner. In the even-more-unlikely case of a tie in both link and comment karma, there will be a sudden-death vote-off showdown. If you have any questions regarding the rules, or have submitted a link that is not showing up, please feel free to send me a PM. Good luck, and long live /r/Glocks!! **SCORING as of 10/13:** - trogdorburn99 : 18 upvotes - Bovaloe : 12 upvotes - jfb423 : 16 upvotes - baconcoffee : 7 upvotes

If you could travel back to 1100AD England what would you do to gather wealth and change the world?
Assume you have 24 hours to prepare, and you can take nothing with you. You will be transported back and will immediately befriend someone willing to help you figure out the language differences and who can give you a modest bankroll to get an idea started. Basically the question comes down to this: what can you do with your everyday knowledge that could revolutionize their world? edit: I suppose 'gather wealth' isnt exactly what I am asking about so much as making a difference in their world while simultaneously giving you a leg up. Perhaps something with a printing press, or mathematical learning. I like the idea of steam engines, but I don't think I could learn enough about it in 24 hours to make anything useful back then. Maybe some steel-making techniques could work.

The one game last season where Cooke and Sid shared a line was amazing. Cooke basically filled the role that Kunitz had on the amazing Dupuis-Crosby-Kunitz line (smaller guy with a HUGE net-front presence... not quite a power forward, but almost). Some people think that Crosby needs a big guy in front of the net... I disagree. Crosby needs supplemental line mates that have good vision and speed. I don't think Cooke would have any problems being Kunitz 2.0. So what are your thoughts?

Vayne tumble update suggestion.
I have one suggestion for Vayne and I would like to hear your opinon on this idea, it would only add more mobility and would not require a buff. This would in turn make her more viable in competitive play as well again. I am a Vayne player with over 400 games and I can safely say it's my main champion. However I have not been playing very much with her in the last few months because there are just better options to choose from especially when we are talking mobility. Let's say Ezreal's E , Corki's W, Graves's E, which enables them to jump through walls ( dragon/baron) & brushes (to wolves) or in the river brush at mid to jump not the big wall but to the smaller one on the side. This would improve Vayne's mobility greatly and champions like Irelia and Jax would not be able to dive you as easily as they do today. That's why champions like Graves , Ezreal and Corki are picked so much because not only do they give you exceptional damage and poking abilities, but also their mobility is immense, which Vayne lacks at this moment. And that should be one of her biggest strengths as she has no poking abilities you purely depend on positioning. So, in a nut shell, instead of adding more damage, or movement speed, or doing a complete rework of her skills. I think a simple rework of her Q would definitely add more variety to her game and more unpredictability and positioning and she would again become a strong pick. I understand if this idea has been brought forward before and I am not claiming I thought of it myself but just realized with thinking how to make her viable again, that this might be an interesting thing to do. Would you like to see this happen or not? If not, why? Please discuss.

Reddit, has anyone made a conscious decision to go back to a dumbphone from a smartphone for any reason? why and what's your experience?
I am thinking of getting rid of my phone and going back to an old nokia or something. I've been tossing it up for a while but I keep telling myself that I need a smartphone. The truth is I in no way I really need a smartphone and it is more a constant distraction than anything else. I think in truth I would be better off without it. Has anyone done this or thought about it. How did it go? would you recommend it?

I rooted it and deleted everything that was a distraction or not necessary including the browser and the market. I essentially have a dumb smartphone that does just what I NEED and nothing else.

[PSA] Bleh, just got hijacked. Please don't buy craft #10s.
Was at work. Guy came to me with a link to a sourceop thread. Said that guy scammed me and I had traded with him before. Clicked the link and noticed the thread was a fake sourceop thread. Told the guy and he said oh ok I'll report him on steamrep and then deleted me. Seconds later my computer is forcibly shutting down and a bunch of msdcsc and java processes are running and now my backpack is cleaned out. Please don't buy my craft #10 collection if you see it. :( EDIT: I think Valve just fucking pwned the hijacker. If you got to my backpack look at all my pending items!

Odd request from r/homebrew for my radio show (x-post from r/beer)
Howdy, I runa geek based radio show always about a certain topic and mixed with music. This week I'm doing it about the history of beer and the science behind it. Besides traditional drinking songs do you have any examples of things that would fit? Some examples would be Beercan by Beck, Drinking with you by Jonathan Coulton, Drink! by TMBG. I'm also thinking involving songs with hops, barley, etc. It's not a show to celebrate drunkenness, rather the science of beer Will also go into the science behind homebrewing. Can you think of anything? Thanks!

Why did David infect Holloway and want to put Shaw in stasis after discovering her pregnancy?
If this is overtly obvious, I apologize. I simply did not understand why David did this. His motives throughout the film are very questionable. I often wondered if he was a protagonist or an antagonist. Can anyone elaborate on his motives behind infecting Holloway and then wanting to put Shaw in stasis after discovering her pregnancy? Was this some sort of experiment to further research the black liquid? Was he instructed by Weyland to conduct this experiment?

[REQUEST][STEAM] Borderlands 2
Hey everyone! I'm new on reddit but i was told by a friend that this is the place to go. The thing is that i really want to surprise my big brother with a game, and Borderlands 2 is the game he wants to play the most, i know it's one of the more expensive games, but it would really make him happy. I don't have the money for it right now, and my parents are having a bad time so they don't have money to spent on games for us. So if anyone is willing to buy it so i can surprise my brother, i would be forever happy!

An exercise in gratitude (also known as: balancing my rants)
Hi Bumpers! So I use this subreddit to rant a lot. It feels good and helps me work through annoying stuff. Plus, you all make me feel better and laugh at all the crap. A lot. Laughing is good. But today, rather than ranting, I'm going to focus on positives. (This all stemmed from me waking up and in my pregnancy induced clumsiness, dropping an egg on the floor while cooking breakfast and having a good cry about it. It was an easy mess to clean up and I had plenty of eggs; nothing AT ALL to cry over .. but there I was. So I cried. Then I laughed at myself crying. Then I decided to be positive today.) And now here I am. Pregnancy is really tough - we're all living it - but there's so much to be grateful for as well! Today, I am grateful that yoga pants are socially acceptable to wear as pants (seriously, what did women do before?? My jeans are a poor excuse for comedy these days) and for the new pie and coffee shop that just opened 4 blocks from my house. Homemade chocolate orange pie? Yes please! Gives me a great excuse to go for a walk .. And I get to reward myself with pie! While wearing yoga pants! Life is okay after all. So - what are you gals (and lurking guys) grateful for - big or small?

Vermont Technical College not all it's cracked up to be
Dear Vermonters, I am a student at Vermont Technical College, and have become appalled with the administration and staff of the institution. The largest problem on campus is the fact that the college is over three hundred thousand dollars in debt, and has been for some time. This fact did not stop Phillip Conroy, the President of the college, from spending nearly a hundred thousand dollars on an inaugural party for himself (which is not customary at Vermont Tech) in September of last year. The administration then raised the tuition rates and cut sports teams and all direct hire money for students working on campus (I personally lost my funding without any apology). This lack in funds is also what caused the building SHAPE or the campus center, to never be completed, and a very dangerous road to be built just to finish the project. The school did not budget correctly, and simply ended the project. How can a school teach construction, accounting, and architecture, but not budget a project correctly? Many classes at Vermont Tech are botched. Yes, there are some fantastic professors working at Vermont Tech, but there are also many terrible ones. Teachers that show up late consistently, that don’t write any assignments and pass every student based off of attendance. What is a degree worth from Vermont Tech if students have to do nothing to receive credits? The on campus housing is a huge scheme at the main campus in Randolph. Singles are in high demand, yet the college blocks off entire usable dorm floors. Students are told only those with the highest number of credits can receive singles, and in the spring of last year dozens of upperclassmen were turned down. Yet this fall there are dozens of freshman without medical need, who have singles. This is simply a stunt to convince students to come to VTC since most colleges don’t offer singles to freshman. Since credits from VTC are unlikely to transfer, students get stuck out of fear of wasting time and money losing credits in a transfer. Incoming students should keep in mind, just because they get to live by themselves for a year, very few sophomores obtain singles. Students at Vermont Tech are treated as second class citizens by the financial aid office, admissions, registrar, the housing department, and basically every other department. Rarely are students not regarded with a rude tone, even eye rolls and snickers are common among staff members. For people making a living off of the tuition, room and board of students, they treat their bosses very poorly. Even students working as Resident Advisors will treat other students with disrespect. They will choose students they do not like to harass, for things as simple as talking at a normal volume in dorm rooms with closed doors. Some RA’s will ignore their friend’s rule breaking, and report only those they don’t know or dislike, even going as far as to make up their own rules for their floors. At the beginning of the fall semester 2012, the students were told to “deal with it” in response to the disgust at budget cuts, and the rude way we have been treated in the past few months. I’m not going to “deal with it” quietly, considering Vermont Tech students pay more to go to this state college then nearly any other instate students in the entire country. I want my money’s worth and Vermont Tech is surely not delivering. Anonymous TLDR : VTC will waste your money and treat you like shit. Even though it's on the 100 best colleges list, it's a crappy place to go to school

Keto, I'm going into surgery next week and nervous about staying on the wagon. Give me your recovery foods?
Going in for knee surgery, and apart from just generally feeling nervous, I'm worried about messing up my progress of keto adapting during recovery. So, gotta have some good remedies! I will be on oxy or hydrocodone, and I'm in need of some sick-friendly foods. I'm planning on raising my carbs to 40 a day during the first three recovery days, and will just hope it doesn't ruin my process. The surgery is on keto day 20, so I'll be pushing into the three week range. I'm thinking of... Rasp/blackberry, greek yogurt and spinach smoothie-- About 9 carbs per (serving (1/3rd a batch) Chicken 'noodle' soup with celery and cabbage-- haven't figured out the carbs Riced ( or mashed) cauliflower--1 carb per half cup Cottage cheese--4 carbs per half cup Any other good, mild recovery foods you would suggest? Save me Keto, you are my only hope! Edit: A few have asked, so I just wanted to add, thankfully this is an arthroscopic debridement, so it's not too crazy a procedure :)

Cult Brit hit "Blake's 7" getting shopped for a remake
Deadline's Nellie Andreeva said a reboot of the late '70s English sci-fi show "Blake's 7" is being shopped by its current rights holder. Sounds like it might be a fun concept to revive ("Dirty Dozen" in space), with more modern production values (at least more modern than 1978 BBC sci-fi show production values). I haven't seen the original, though Nellie says it was a big hit in Europe over four seasons. Is it worth digging up the original?

Hey guys!

Feel like I am underpaid, looking for advice.
Using a throwaway as some of my coworkers browse reddit and I'd rather not have them see this. Anyways, as the title says, I feel as though I am underpaid and I wanted to get an opinion from r/sysadmin. As a preface, I love working for my current company. The people are great and the job as a whole is awesome. My main concern is my salary. I have recently taken to checking the market to see what other companies are paying for my job position. I have found that on average, my role is making 15K more per year with roughly the same benefits. I am not particularly interested in leaving my current position, as I said, I like where I am working very much. I wanted to see what my options are about approaching my boss about bringing my salary up to what market value is. There will be an annual review soon for all employees in the company, where I will likely get a 3% raise. I don't mean to sound ungrateful for that, but it would still leave my personal salary at 15K less than what the market seems to be paying. So, r/sysadmin, what are my options? I would very much like to stay with my current company and I would like to negotiate a higher salary commensurate with my experience and market value.

[Build Help] questions about ivy bridge, motherboard, RAM, video card and psu
i am building a computer and i think i am set for most stuff, but i have some questions before i pull the trigger. the computer i'm building will mainly be for gaming. i have a budget of around 2000, but i don't mind going over. 2500 is the hard ceiling for budget. i was wondering if i should wait for the ivy bridge processors. should i wait for them? are they coming out next week? also, should i get one of the z77 mobos even if i don't get the ivy bridges? for memory, i'd like to get 8 gb with 2 modules. which one would you recommend? i don't mind spending a lot. does the ivy bridge need a specific type of ram? as for video card, i want to get the gtx 680, but it is hard to find. does anybody know a place to get it? or, should i get a gtx 560 and sli it if i want better graphics? is there something better? also, is that 4gb gtx680 coming out in the us soon? with some mobos, the pci 3.0 won't work without an ivy bridge. i'd like the better performance, so should i aim for that? i would like to get a psu with 750 watts in case i want to sli, but i would also like to get an 80 gold rating for better efficiency. any ideas? i'd like to get some specific part suggestions. i'll add a parts list for the stuff i think i'm set on later, i'm on an ipad right now.

Looking for a new laptop...having trouble finding one with a good enough resolution.
Hey Reddit, I'm looking for a new laptop. I'd prefer to stay under $1000, but I'm willing to go up to $1200 if I have to. I thought I had the perfect laptop picked out...the ASUS N56VZ-ES71, until I realized the resolution is only 1366 x 768. Since I'm going to be doing some design work with the Adobe Creative Suite, and possibly light gaming, I'd like one with a higher resolution. (I'm not a fan of Macs and how overpriced they are, so no Macs for me). I'd prefer an i7 processor, but an i5 is okay if need be. Also, just as a side note, I'd like to find one that's thin and clean looking...not chunky and heavy. Any suggestions/brands to stay away from? I've heard no to HP, Fujistu, and Sony...so I've been trying to look at Asus, Lenovo, Toshiba, etc...but I can't find one with a resolution better than 1366 x 768. Thanks in advance!

Caffeine dependency only solved by coffee?
So I have a dependency on coffee, but it's only one cup(well like 22-25 grams of coffee). Anyways when I stop drinking it, I get a headaches, and a little tiredness, but way worse is that I can't stop this by drinking tea or soda. I've had days with many times more caffeine than coffee, and still get headaches, but by far the best substitute was drinking decaf coffee. Although decaf coffee contains a small amount of caffeine, it's much less than tea, but stopped the symptoms better than any other substitute. So I think my caffeine dependency is really a coffee dependency? Any one else have this situation?

Can L-DOPA be used to potentiate euphoria in dopaminergenic drugs?
L-DOPA is similar to another chemical drug users are familar with 5-HTP. They're both amino acids that are metabolized in-vivo into neurotransmitters. 5-HTP is taken to ease the comedown from MDMA and to replenish the brain's depleted serotonin, and by itself it can cause a mood increase. L-DOPA is metabolized into dopamine in the body. Can this be used to increase euphoria if administered ~1 hr before taking a dopaminergenic drug such as ampetamine or cocaine? Or is that not the way it works? Thanks for the help.

Why are Pakistani / Indian people so blunt?
There must be some reason aside from just "difference in culture". I'm Canadian, and have a lot of experience with individuals of Pakistani and Indian heritage and they often seem rude because of how blunt they are. I don't just mean rude in the Western sense either, I don't think any culture is fond of being put down. It seems like it's completely okay to tell someone they're to fat/tall/fair/dark/ugly, knowing full well how offensive it is. I've noticed in my close friends who are Pakistani or Indian the bluntness almost manifests as this kind of pessimism where new ideas and experiences are berated. I've heard this stereotype a dozen times, I know I'm not the first to make this claim-when you google "why are pakistani people so..." rude is the first suggestion. I'm just looking for some kind of reason. Brits are incredible polite, I hear the Hongers have held on to a lot of their customs, why didn't the Indians and Pakistanis?

Introducing /r/TheDailyPrompt - your daily source of writing exercises
After months of development, it's finally here — SU&W's automated prompt subreddit that runs off of your suggestions! Prompt subreddits are an awesome resource for writers looking to practice writing regularly and expand their creative "comfort zone" without worrying about making things perfect. They are, in essence, there to get you to shut up and write. So how *couldn't* we make one? However, like anything else SU&W related, /r/TheDailyPrompt is a little bit different. Unlike most manually-run prompt subreddits, this one is run off of bot power, courtesy of /u/Laogeodritt. That means exactly one prompt per day, no matter what. Here's how it works: 1. A suggestion thread is posted once per week. 2. Everyone leaves prompt ideas on the suggestion thread and votes on the suggestions they like. 3. The mods take the highest-rated prompt suggestions that don't suck and stick them into an automated queue. 4. New prompts every morning! 5. ??? 6. CREATIVITY. It couldn't be any simpler.* A combination of community involvement, active mods, and automation should keep /r/TheDailyPrompt to a high standard of quality† and consistency.‡ But we need your suggestions to get the ball rolling! **Click here to suggest a prompt.** In the meantime, check out the other prompt subreddits in the sidebar if you haven't. Both of them are run by insanely active mods and deserve a look. --- ^(* Until inspiration can be injected intravenously.) ^(† Unless the suggestions suck, the mods are drunk, or both.) ^(‡ Contingent on the bot not exploding, joining a union, or nipping off a bit for a coffee.)

STOP. WAITING. FOR. THE. GUNSHIP. SPAWN!
I am now seeing far too many people sat, dead, waiting for the gunship to spawn. Even if the other team has it. They sit there, waiting, not spawning and, oh I dont know, HELPING. I was riding on a quad behind one guy who, at the start of the round, drove up to the radar tower on Alborz to capture the gunship flag. He then ''....is no more'', aka suicided, and then low and behold, a few seconds later, there he was in the gunship. It's pathetic! The gunship is largely useless on anything other than Rush. So if you're on conquest, and you're waiting for the gunship to spawn, just go hang yourself. You'll be just as useful that way. Frees up server space. I've yet to see a map other than Armored Shield where the gunship lasted more than a few minutes. AS lasts longer because there is no jet on that map and you're relying on helos and AA tanks, rockets and stingers. It becomes the focused target almost every time it goes up. So stop waiting for it to respawn and do your team some good for god sake. [Edit] Though part of me thinks less people will use it when they realise, in time, how kind of crap it is. I will happily confess to jumping into it if I die and see it's a spawn option. That to me is fine. But I dont sit there jerking off waiting for it!!! 9 times out of 10 my score and xp gains are higher than those in the gunship, and nobody cares about your k/d ratio (which, lets face it, is the only reason you want in on the gunship). This is Battlefield, not Crap of Duty!

I am a screenwriter, and I have a screenplay that makes *Me* cry that I'm writing. The thing is, the subject matter is quite difficult (Suicide). It pulls on heartstrings heavily.

Is there subject matter you'd hate to see in a cry movie? Mother-daughter/father-son relationships and suicide... too deep? Thanks! **[EDIT:] What I'm learning is that connection to character is paramount, and crying is the natural biproduct. As long as the connection is good the crying doesn't ruin a movie; but it isn't necessary. Also that everyone is very encouraging to actually try to produce the movie**

Anyone have a suggestion of a good game to play, 2-6 players or more that combines fantasty style dungeon crawly type aspects? Has anyone played Talisman? Any good or bad thoughts on it? Seems a bit expensive to put down that much. One thing to note, the gaming group I play with has a good mix of people: some hardcore RPers, some newbies to table top games, and of course there are some that are there just for fun and food and debauchery. Looking forward to tales of happiness or woes

Any film makers wanna collaborate on music videos?
Hello! Justin here. I recently finished my first album and so I'm trying to do collaboration work with film students to make music videos for my album. I won't be getting paid so I can't pay anyone but we'd both get exposure and probably friendship! Give my tracks a listen and let me know if there are any you'd like to do!

I've tried everything but I can't get rid of my lice. How do I kill these bastards?
Nothing works. I've had this problem for two years. They are resistant to lice shampoo and nothing else works either. I've tried alcohol, tea tree oil, mouthwash, a shit-ton of live shampoo, you name it, I've tried it. Does everybody have lice and pretend the problem doesn't exist?

Benadryl or other OTC medications for Ayahuasca nausea?
I will be drinking ayahuasca this evening and I am pretty concerned about the vomiting. I haven't vomited in six years since a bad bout of food poisoning, but from reading reports, it seems that streak may end. I was just wondering if benadryl, dramamine, or other over-the-counter nausea medicines might mitigate some of the negative effects. I'm looking for something that won't alter the nature of the trip so I'm not too sure about cannabis beforehand.

98% job placement - Penn State accounting
Just in case there are any 17 year olds on this /r/ (if so, you may have mental health problems), look at things like these when you are considering where to go to school: job placement data, in this case from my alma mater, Penn State. Check out the last page, showing job placement by major - 98% of people that were seeking jobs apparently had them. (I cannot quite independently confirm this and i know that 50 is not the entire population of PSU accounting majors, but i think it's probably a good sign). It's easy to get a job with big 4, smaller firm, or private industry, depending on what you want.

Thoughts on a/the Mass Effect movie? For example, to me it would be cool if they didn't just remake the first game, but explored other stories in the universe.
Don't get me wrong, a movie based on the first game if done right would be fantastic, but what I'm talking about is like if they made a film about the human's first contact with the Turians, or maybe a totally different story that takes place after Mass Effect 3. I'd like to hear thoughts.

Did there used to be theories of matter which did *not* postulate particles?
The particle theory of matter is often taught to students as an example of a scientific theory. What alternatives are there to this theory and are there any arguments against the existence of particles?

A short comment about in game conduct when playing with fellow Summoner School members.
**We are here to learn to play better, not to be berated and told that we are bad.** I just played a normal draft pick game with 3 summoner school members from chat and then a 5th random person. We had a 5-0 lead until we admittedly threw a couple teamfights and ended up back even. Now there was a SS member who i will not name that was carrying pretty hard and complained constantly about us throwing. Going on and on about our AD's build and how we didn't know how to teamfight etc. etc. He/She started surrender votes every chance they could even though the game was easily winnable. I understand that having a rough game can infuriate someone but try to help your fellow SS members, not rage at them. Not everyone is as good as you are. If you are carrying your team, tell them how they can do better. Constructive criticism is 10x better than just raging at them trying to get a surrender. Peace out and see on the Rift. Edit: I didn't want this to turn into a back and forth between participants which is why I didn't name the player, but it has. This was only meant as a reminder to high ELO SS members. Edit 2: Is there a way to get the chat logs after the game has been played? I'm curious. Edit 3: Another players encounter with the person involved: removed (if you want this taken off just message me)

[Animated Film Fest][Feb 18 - 6:30 pm] Bleak Midwinter Film Fest (Animated Shorts) - admission by donation
New to CalgarySocialClub, thought I would start contributing... I have been attending this small animated film fest for the past 3 years, and its just great. Two accomplished animators host the night and give intros / explanations of the films that are shown, and take questions / start discussions about them. Its at the Lantern Church (lanternchurch.com) in inglewood (1401 10th Ave. S.E.). There is no affiliation with religion or anything like that, its just a great venue (we usually bring in beer / wine and drink in the pews, although we keep it discreet). Entrance fee is by donation (usually we just do $5 per person). From the Lantern website: "OSCAR NOMINEES! Animators Extraordinaire and friends of The Lantern, Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbis will be hosting an evening to escape the mid-winter blahs with some entertaining, short animated films, including their very own Oscar Nominated film “Wild Life”. Friday Feb 18th is Grown Up Night… ages 16 and up. There will be a post-show gathering in the basement of the church following the films. ~Admission is by Donation!~" From the hosts: "Saturday February 18th is Grownups' night at The Bleak and this is a show not to be missed! Our lineup includes Bout, the latest work by the enormously talented former Calgarian, Malcolm Sutherland; and the animated documentary, Spirit of the Bluebird, by local filmmakers, Jesse Gouchey & Xstine Cook. Both Jesse and Xstine will be on hand to present their work and answer questions. We will also be showing a few of the nominees for this year's Academy Award, including Sunday by Patrick Doyon and Wild Life by yours trulies. Once again, there are two excellent reasons to come early: 1. The wonderful Adrienne Weare & Carmen Marquis will be performing live music before the show (starting at 6:30). 2. We will be selling more Bleak Posters - a steal at $2 apiece (5 for $10!) All proceeds will go to the Inglewood Skate Shack in support of the after-school hockey and skating program which is in need of skates, helmets, sticks and skate sharpening equipment. Donations will be gratefully accepted at the door. See you at the Lantern this Saturday at 7 pm. Suitable for ages 12 and up."
