[TOMT] Online game where you change the color of hexagons
|
It was a game online that I cannot remember the name of. You had a large grid of hexagons touching that were all different colors. You choose one color (ex: blue) then click another hexagon of a different color (ex: red) then I think all the hexagons that are touching the red one turns blue. I can't think of the exact gameplay but that was the gist of it.
I feel like the title was one word, like "panic" or "toxic" or something like that.

Can I use an old hard drive on a new build?
|
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but my computer just died and I'm planning on getting a new one but I would like to save some money and my current hard drive is pretty decent, so I was wondering... what would happen if I boot a new build using my old hard drive? It's worth noting I don't want to format it just yet, there's some important stuff on that drive. Thanks in advance.

Is Portal 2 well represented on the "best of 2011" lists?
|
Back when Portal 2 was released, I naturally played the hell out of it, but ultimately felt underwhelmed.
I tried to debate it in /gaming, but was downvoted into oblivion by the hivemind.
Now as far as I can tell, it doesn't get as many mentions as say Skyrim, in the gaming media landscape, unless there's a puzzle game category.
So was Portal 2 your GOTY?
Are the websites and magazines wrong? Was the game perhaps slightly overhyped? Or is it a victim of other good games being much more recent in our collective memory? After all, it's still one of the top-scoring games of the year.

community college to med school - is it viable?
|
I'm a community college student about to transfer to UC Berkeley as a Psychology major. I intend to take my MCAT prerequisites at a community college while taking classes at Cal.
Two questions;
1. Is this a viable path to med school?
2. I've come to realize after taking a few science courses that I'm a B+ average science student - am I even competitive for med school?

Assassin/Shadow specs and 1.1.2 patch.......
|
So given the changes to the Assassin/Shadow AC, Bioware has all but eliminated the flexible hybrid specs for this class..... What do you now think are the best specs for PvP and PvE? The standard tank (31/0/10) seems like the best option to play both imo. How is the patch going to change your current spec and what do you like/dislike about the our AC changes?
Here are the 1.1.2 notes for the Assassin/Shadow changes:
-All Saber Charges/Techniques now cost 100 Force.
-Lightning Charge’s Discharge/Force Breach now also deals damage when applied. Overall damage dealt by this ability has not changed.
*Darkness/Kinetic*
-Charge/Technique Mastery: No longer increases the duration of Lightning Charge’s Discharge/Force Breach effect. It now increases the damage dealt by Lightning Charge/Force Breach.
-Energize/Particle Acc: This skill now also triggers from Assassinate/Spinn Strike. It now triggers from damage dealt (rather than ability use) such that each hit of Assassinate/Spinn Strike, Thrash/Double, and Lacerate/Whirling have an individual chance to yield the Energize/Particle Acc buff. The chance to trigger has been reduced to 30% per hit.
-Harnessed Darkness/Shadows: Stacks of HD/HS now last 30 seconds. Using Wither/SlowTime now yields a stack of HD/HS.
*Deception/Infiltration*
-Induction/Circling Shadows: Now requires the Surging Charge/Shadow Tech skill to be purchased and requires that SC/ST is active in order to trigger the Induction/Circling buff. This skill now also triggers from Assassinate/Spinn Strike.
*Madness (Shared Tree)/Balanced*
-Crackling Charge/Force Focus: Now additionally lowers the cooldown of Discharge/Force Breach while Lightning Charge/Force Tech is active.
-Raze/Force Strike: Now triggers from activating melee attacks that hit a target affected by Lightning Charge’s Discharge/Force Tech Breach effect. This effect now triggers more easily but cannot trigger as frequently.
-Death Field/Force Balance: Heals the caster for 1% of maximum health for each target struck. This healing effect can no longer crit and no longer consumes Recklessness/Potency charges.
-Devour/Absorbtion: Now doubles the amount of healing generated by Death Field/Force Balance and Parasitism/Focused Insight.

Can an "inoperable" tumor ever be operated on? Isn't it worth at least trying?
|
From what I understand (and I may be wrong), "inoperable" just means that an operation can very likely result in death. But if you already have a deadly tumor, isn't it worth the risk to at least *try* to operate on it? Is this more of a legal matter than a medical one?

Consulting for Non-MBA Masters?
|
Hi r/consulting,
I'm a M.Sc. of Public Policy and Management student who's interested in entering the consulting industry. I've applied for a fair number of consulting jobs/taken student consulting projects/taken a consulting course, but I'm curious as to the industry's perspective on non-MBA Masters students. I know that a lot of firms "welcome diversity," but at the same time I know the deck is stacked against non-MBAs because we don't have the typical MBA courseload.
What do you think of non-MBA Masters?

My dad is fighting his liver cancer and I hope makes it what are some things I might be missing? x/post reddit cancer
|
Just wondering what things I am forgetting or not clearly seeing when it comes to doing things for my dad. Here is a link to my post in assistance when I first found out. I just want to know what else there is to do.
So far we know its cancer of his liver caused by chemo from hep c. There is no way to get a transplant because of possible cancer in his blood and treatment so far is down to Nexavar which has the change of prolonging his life for up to a year.
I simply want to know what else to do. I just didn't imagine losing my dad already and I want to try and cover all my bases with him before he goes. Anything from ideas of things that are feasible to do, to things that I might not think about until he's gone.
Any and all ideas are welcome.

[TOMT] Music from a 2000s video game load screen
|
I'm pretty sure it's music from a console game loading screen, I think maybe Playstation One or Two, or perhaps an early Nintendo product. For the musically inclined, it's an ascending (going upwards) chromatic Major 7th chord (in C, C-E-G-B), then it hits the Major 7th note (the B) a four more times on the top.
I'm positive that's the musical part of it, however my memory of what it's from escapes me. I'm pretty sure it repeats several times on a loading screen somewhere, like possibly when the device is connecting to the internet? Thanks very much in advance, it sounds really cool and I'd like to do a mellow jazz piece involving this if I only knew where it was from.
**EDIT** Here's a recording I made of several variations in different octaves of the tune I'm thinking of. Hopefully this will help more than the musical mumbo-jumbo I was banking on earlier!

How Does One Treat Mental Imagery?
|
Should pictures made by the mind be seen as no different than the mind?
For most of my life I do not remember ever thinking in pictures. However hallucinogen use and subsequently 5 years of meditation I think more and more in pictures. This happens frequently when I have meditation sessions but at times its either unpleasant or far too sporadic for me to pin down.
Is there any Buddhist literature on cultivating the skill of imagination/mental imagery? I have read of many visualizations of vast dieties and mandalas, but not everyone thinks visually by nature.
Thanks for any help, I would like to quiet this part of my mind like I have silence words that brought suffering.

Free short-term rental (1 month) in exchange for 4hr/day work as personal assistant, start ASAP
|
I am a 30-yr old woman with a cat and an extra room in my home in Clairemont, and I have been bogged down with work since starting my own company. I would like to offer a room for the next month in exchange for a personal assistant who will do some random stuff for me for 4 hours or so a day. I am open to the arrangement being longer term if it works out, but for now I just need your help for the next month, and you get a free place to stay (Ikea futon/bed, desk, and table included) and free utilities including wireless internet.
Personal assistant stuff includes:
* light yardwork/cleaning, I am a clean person, you should be too
* cooking if you're good with that
* running errands
* mind-numbing data entry work; you should be ok with computers--some of the data entry is adult-oriented so if you're prudish about reading certain words it's probably not going to work, sorry
No creeps, please, this is not that kind of personal assistant. You get your own bathroom, we share a kitchen, laundry, living room. No cigarette smoking, no big parties, 420 friendly, pets only if you can convince me they will be okay. Please do not PM me, email me at AubreyWatt (gmail) if you are interested or have questions.

Anyone driving from Lewisporte area (Or the Junction to) to St. John's in the coming week?

I'm out near Lewisporte and I'm looking to get to St. John's in a week or so but I'm having trouble trying to find a lift. I'm trying to get some money scrapped together but even so it's not going to be enough for the DRL. Besides, the DRL pulls in at 10 and I need to be at least around 5ish.
I can give some money for gas at any rate, but not a whole lot. About 40 or so. I just moved down from Toronto and spent all of my money, and sold my possessions, to pay for the ferry/greyhound/drl to get out here in the first place and hitch hiking is pretty low on my options at the moment.

Some kind of trauma, but I'll never know what happened that night.
|
Five years ago I went to a party and got drunk. My friends took me to an unoccupied bedroom to sleep it off, and I either fell asleep or passed out. When I came to, a guy was on top of me, having sex with me. It was the most startling moment of my life. I asked what was going on, pushed him off of me, and ran out. He didn't say anything.
I don't remember anything between being guided to the room and coming to with him on top of me. I have no idea if this was rape or not. I could have woken up and consented but don't remember it. Or maybe he found me passed out and took advantage. I don't consider myself a rape victim since I could have consented without remembering it; and he was a person I may have consented to if I were sober. He was someone I knew, a friend of my brother's, and generally a nice guy.
The thing that tortures me the most, far more than the trauma of having sex without realizing it, is the fact that I'll never know what really happened that night. There's just no way to ever find out or prove it. To go through the rest of my life, wondering if I'm torturing myself for something that may not have even been a crime? How am I supposed to cope with this? Even if this wasn't rape, it certainly was traumatic. The never knowing is killing me, and that's never going to get better.
I don't think I could ever bring myself to contact this guy again, and there's no way I could be sure what he said was true anyways. I don't have any idea what to do with this. And then I found this subreddit, and, well, I wanted to get it off my chest. I don't need sympathy or rape counseling. I just needed to say it to someone. Thanks for reading.

Has This Photographer's Pictures of Her Child Gone Too Far?
|
I'm a photographer, have owned a business for about 6 years now and have taken pictures of lots of children. An associate of mine sent me this link to find out my feelings about this "series" posted by this photographer. Honestly, it makes me feel all kinds of uncomfortable. I understand wanting to do something different, having a style of your own and attempting to create "art." What I can't understand is how this person doesn't see this as child porn. Am I wrong here?
Link
Edit: There's no nudity or overtly sexual themes. Frankly, it's just weird and I need to know if I'm off on this.
Edit 2: Sorry if I didn't make it clear. This is definitely not my associate that I know. They were simply the one who forwarded me the link. Originally the "series" was forwarded to me in order to report it on Facebook and get it taken down.

Pictures and info on every single one of the 63 currently living Faroese Horses (xpost from r/horses)
|
It's not in English though, but is easy to follow nontheless
The Faroese horse is considered by many to be one of the oldest breeds alive, as they (along with the icelandic horse) have been isolated for nearly 1000 years with hardly any new blood coming into the gene pool.
The headings above the list are
"Mynd-Picture"
"Navn-Name (in some cases a name has a single number
afterwards, this is due to there being more than one horse with
the same name)"
"Skrásetingar nr.- Registration nr"
"Kyn-Gender" Hestur-castrated Stallion, Ryssa-Mare, Greðingur-Stallion.
"Aldur-Age"
When clicking on the pictures you'll get individual data on each horse, birthday, ownership history and general history, temperatment, bloodline etc. As well as several pictures of said horse.
There has been immense preservation work put into these horses.
Back in the last century pretty much all of them where sold to the UK to work in coal mines, due to their size and strength, and not before a couple in the mid 60's started thinking about them, did a conservation effort start, and then it was almost too late, after dna and other related tests, they worked out there where only five pure bloods left that could breed, one stallion and four mares.
Since then all horses have been tested and been proven to be pure bloods.
In 2003 it was for the first time really proven that the Faroese horse is a breed apart from all others.

From a small town, no money, no job, no living situation. I need to get out! Brainstorm with me
|
I'm from a very small town, there are absolutely no jobs here and all apartments here are horrible. I've been living with my parents but I cannot stand it anymore. Both of my parents are alcoholics and it's hell every day. I went to a local community college this past semester.. wasn't impressed. I've looked at apartments in town, they're crap. I couldn't pay for one anyways because nobody is hiring around here. Not even minimum wage shit! I want to get the fuck out of here, away from my alcoholic, abusive parents, out of town. My parents never sat me down and talked about college with me though. And they certainly wouldn't ever help out with school or rent if I moved out. I know there are always jobs in other cities, especially ones with a university. So, I guess, my question is.. **How the fuck do I get out of this dead end town if I don't have any money?**

Advice on possible upgrade from xb-500 to xb-1000
|
I currently have the Sony MDR XB-500 headphones and am thinking about upgrading to the MDR XB-1000s. I mostly listen to electronic and rap/hip-hop and just use them when I'm at work.
I'm looking at the combo of xb-1000, FiiO E10 USB DAC headphone amp, and FiiO L9 LOD.
Any advice you have on this setup would be much appreciated.
My other question: I don't work in an audio profession and only use my headphones while I'm at work, primarily listening to electronic and rap/hip-hop. Will there be huge enough of an improvement for me to justify the purchase, or am I just fine with my xb-500s? For my listening habits the xb-500 seems great, so the xb-1000 would need to be truly awesome to be worth it.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
Edit 1:
After considering everyone's advice and doing more research, I think I have decided what I want to buy:
Thank's again for all the advice!
Edit 2:
I have purchased my new headphones, can't wait for them to show up. I went with the Ultrasone Pro 900 headphones, FiiO E17 USB DAC Headphone Amplifier, and the FiiO L9 Line Out Dock Cable "L" Plug. This is going to be awesome!

When calculating a company's enterprise value, I am confused about why one must add a minority interest of an affiliated company . Correct me if I am wrong, the income statement of the company I am analyzing takes into account 100% of the affiliated company's financials, therefore we must add in the portion the original company does not own to adjust the equity value as such…?
For some reason this is not clicking in my head, I do not understand why one would account for the portion of the affiliated company which they do not own. Any help is appreciated

I know it's an anecdote, but here are the things I did:
* joined /r/NoFap -- while all the things on the list made a difference, this made more difference than you can possibly imagine. Ultimately, it's what started the whole chain of events. I would say, that if you have a DB and are fapping, start here. Seriously.
* had "the talk" and listened
* joined /r/pornfree
* read and applied lessons from the 5 love languages (turns out my wife is an "acts of service" kinda gal) and If Only He Knew: What No Woman Can Resist

While I Slept Pt. 1 1/2 [edited content and link to full Pt.1]
|
Sorry, guys. I've added the following content to Pt.1 of 'While I Slept'. I'm an idiot and didn't really divide the chapters up appropriately. I didn't want those following the story to miss anything and included a link to the complete Pt.1 at the bottom (if this is your first time reading it, please do visit the complete link).
I thoroughly searched the flat for any trace of Anne -- and if not Anne -- the silent intruder. Until this point, I assumed the sporadic misfiring of the camera application had been a minor technical failure, or perhaps the application set on a timer. Anne wasn't home. Satisfied with my search, I resigned with heightened curiosity in the secured dead-bolt. The aforementioned attic-aperture was roughly 1 x 1ft; too small for an escape and I owned the only key to fasten the dead-bolt from the exterior of the apartment. But, I'm nothing if not rational, and reckoned the previous tenant may have made a copy and intended to conveniently rob the next occupant. Nothing was missing, not even my key. Then, possibly the land-lady. . . No, I remember her specifying I, in fact, was the sole owner of that particular key. At last, I remembered the laptop. The-red LED eerily penetrating the dimly-lit room. I seated myself in front of the monitor, stopped the video-capture, and opened the file.
Even now, I'm impressed by the supreme coincidence requisite for my morbid discovery. The previous night, I'd been reading and fell asleep with the monitor directed at a 45-degree downward angle. This one infinitesimal act would engender a fear greater than anything I had ever and would ever again experience. Before the revelation of what I was watching dawned on me, I merely sat, confusedly fixated, trying to decipher the images in front of me into substantive shapes. All at once, I knew with horrible clarity what I was watching:
In the background, I saw my sleeping figure lit in the gelid glow of the monitor. During the first examination, nothing appeared saliently out-of-the-ordinary. I replayed the video from the beginning. The time at the bottom of the screen read 3:11 a.m. Now focusing my attention on the foreground, I saw it. I apologize -- I still have immense difficulty relating and remembering this part of the story. My memory doesn't fail, nor my vocabulary inadequate, to convey what I saw; I state that it is difficult because I don't want to remember and pray to consign the image to oblivion.
Read the full Pt. 1 here!

We both lost or jobs due to the economy and couch surfed for awhile. I was fortunate enough to land on my feet but she was not able to bounce back from the ideal and has been couch surfing for the last four years. I work a shit minimum wage job and my income is very limited, as is the assistance I can provide. due to shitty Lease terms I can't have her live with me. I don't know what else to do, she has been ravaged by depression and agoraphobia, other physical ailments and is so lost. This woman was my intellectual beacon, taught me how to defy the odds and make it out alive.now I feel shitty cause I can't pay her back. Please Reddit, I don't know what to do. If there is anything that anyone can do... Please help. Thank you.
Tl;Dr: mom has been couch surfing for three years and is at the end of her rope, I am too poor to offer her any more help and she has run out of friends/family to help

Any recommendations for a dojo around Toronto burbs?
|
I've always been interested in martial arts since I was a kid, and current life situation is making feel like now is the time to take it up, but without experience, I'm wary of walking into a McDojo. I've been looking at sites online, but that has to be a terrible gauge. So if anyone knows of a place, I'd definitely check out any recommendations first.
Style spectrum-wise, I think I'd be more into something like Wushu and Wing Chun with Judo and BJJ on the far end away from me. I want to do this more for personal sport and training, not so much (actual) self defense or competition.

SuperNewb: fresh install, type size problems?
|
I just installed crunchbang on 2 computers, one laptop and one desktop. I am typing this from the laptop, it works great, but it was magic because I didn't do anything to make it work it just did. On the desktop, the type on the display is so small I can't read anything. The bar at the top and the icons are a normal size, everything is normally sized except for the type, it's tiny. So I accidentally closed or ended the post-install script and I have no clue how to start it again or how to fix my display problems. Changed the resolution, but that didn't help at all.
What does the post install script do? find drivers? if so how do I start it running? I have been searching for answers for hours, but it seems like no one has problems this dumb. sorry

Is it possible to create a running poll in this subreddit for most desired changes we want in Diablo patches?
|
I personally have no huge complaints for the game in its current state but I am always interested in knowing from the rest of this community what they see as the biggest things that can be improved in a future patch, that is continuously updated.
We all love to see every little thing perfect, but the reality is that certain issues will and have to take priority over others due to time and resource constraints. Also, what's a big disappointment for one person, might be nothing more than a nuisance for another.
Another advantage is really for blizzard to have a high level idea of what a community view as the most important changes that need to be fixed.
**What I would like to see, for instance:**
- *a stickied post that is actually a poll built in to reddit* such that each redditor can vote on their top 5 most desired improvements for the next coming patch.
- This poll will list ~25 things and you get to pick 5, and can change your vote anytime as the game progresses and new things get discovered.
Ideally, the blizz forum should have something like this already (but I don't think they do).
**Why I want a real poll instead of threads with upvotes/downvotes:**
- I do not favor the upvote/downvote mechanism on polls because there are no enforceable rules on what a person can up/downvote.
- A poll format is also a million times better from a visual perspective.
- Creating 10's of threads about "my biggest disappointment about patch 1.x.x" also gets lost very quickly and the same concerns/gripes get replicated in multiple threads.
Is this something reddit can do? Or am I just dreaming?
Can the real Bashiok please comment on this type of polls on helping blizz make changes?
**TL;DR: I want one real continuous poll to see what redditors see as changes that need to be made on new patches.**
edit: a bunch of formatting.

What are some things that you can not stand about Neopets? I'll start!
|
**The BIGGEST thing that straight up infuriates me** is how HARD it is to get a nice name anymore because TNT has probably MILLIONS of abandoned neopets on accounts that haven't been touched in years or frozen. That are just taking up a whole lot of space. I wanted to create a Hissi today with a nice name, I've always wanted a Hissi and I tried about 100+ nice names before getting one that was available. I mean when I can go and put a random noun and some random numbers and still be told the name is unavailable you know there is a problem. TNT *really* needs to clean up and remove frozen accounts, abandoned pets on those accounts, and accounts that haven't been touched since Jesus was born.
I have others but none that make me as angry as this. I'd love to hear your pet peeves too! Honestly I love Neopets, it's a great way to kill time and have something fun to do, but TNT certainly needs to upgrade some things!

How can I force my severely depressed 22 year old brother to get help? (x-post from r/askreddit)
|
My brother is 22 years old and for the past two years he has become severely depressed. He was in college, but due to his depression and anger, he had to take a medical leave of absence. He has a history of using drugs (particularly LSD and ether, occasionally cocaine) and drinking.
He doesn't really have any friends right now and basically sits around all day reading heavy literature (think Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Kafka) and lamenting about how the world is hell and he'll be in hell for the rest of his life. He used to be on the heavy side, but he's lost a TON of weight (he's 6'7" and weights about 190, whereas he used to weigh closer to 270) I tend to get angry at him when he says these outrageous things, and I wish I didn't, but he's really frustrating to deal with.
He refuses to get help and he doesn't see himself as depressed. He's been hospitalized three times in the past year for doing outrageous things (he asked one of his friends to get him a gun and alluded to the fact that he was going to hurt himself or someone else). He has a tendency to almost cycle through different moods. Sometimes he's normal (which still isn't that happy) and sometimes I'll just find him lying on the floor and when I ask him what he's doing he'll say something like "I'm a soulless rock". He's told me several times that he's dead and that "the light is gone".
I don't know what to do. I feel like I've lost my brother and I'll never get him back. He refuses to go to the doctor or take any medication. Is there any way that I can convince him or force him to go? I just want my brother back. I'm 19 years old and we live in Pennsylvania if that makes any difference.
**TL;DR** My brother is extremely depressed but refuses to get help. What can I do?

Just wanted to get an idea of what people are using on here. Does everyone use Lasinoh? Is anyone creeped out that it comes from sheep? How about anyone using a nipple butter alternative?

What's the sturdiest way to clamp off a brake hose?
|
I have a 97 neon pissing brake fluid out of one of the hose fittings near the rear driver drum. It's currently in my appartment parking lot, and they have a policy against auto repairs (which I've already been cited for once), so I have to move the car about a mile to my work's lot to work on it. Is there a safe (using the term lightly) way to clamp off the hose so that it will last the ride?
Edit: Thanks, all. I'm going to pick up a pair of those clamps from autozone that 2 of you recommended, and I will move the car in the least amount of traffic possible.

Removing multi-user support
|
I'm not certain where to begin so consider this a noob question and one where I'm not sure what to google.
I'm interested in removing multi-user support on a linux distro, let's say debian stable, so it just boots into a # prompt.
How can I do this?
What will break if this is done?
Can multiple terminals still be available (by pressing left/right alt I can go to different vterms (I think they're called that))?

Should I worry about tolerance to alprazolam (xanax)?
|
My home doctor gave me **0,5 mg alprazolam** (xanax), to use three times a day for panic attacks (on top of the 150 mg venlafaxine (effexor) I already use). The problem is, I rarely have spontaneous panic attacks. They come when I have stress, and since I'm free for summer, I make sure I have no stress at all. (This is major avoiding, I know.) Because of all the warnings for addiction and tolerance, I only take one or even a half when I visit friends, family, the doctor or when a spontaneous attack does come up. On sunny days like this, with no obligations, I can handle myself quite all right, aside from the constant anxiety that I can live with.
**How much should I worry about tolerance or addiction, considering I only take these alprazolam pills when I need them, which is not even daily?**
Also, I wrote down a story where I try to make sense of how I developed my panic disorder. It's long though, like 7 or 8 paragraphs. Would you, anxiety partners, be interested?

Trying to decide which language/environment to use for a point and click adventure game
|
Ok, first a little background information. I've been into programming for many years and have primarily stuck with C++ and SDL. Me and a small group of people have had an idea for a point and click 2D adventure game for at least 9 years now. So the idea has become rather refined and we're ready to put it together. I've got an artist, a sound/music person, and myself... who is going to be the programmer.
Now my main issue is that we want cross platform compatibility. I was originally planning on just going ahead with my comfort zone and making it with C++ and SDL and then tweaking things to work on each OS, but then I got to thinking. I really should expand on the number of languages I should use, also that making a game from scratch will be time consuming, so I've narrowed it down to three options which I need help deciding on.
- C++/SDL: It's what I'm comfortable with but it will involve me writing everything from the ground up.
- Java: I have some experience with it, but am still a little new to it, but it has out of the box cross platform compatibility.
- Unity: I realize it's typically a 3D engine but I've seen some people make 2D games from it. I also wouldn't have to write up as many things from scratch and could focus on just putting the game together.
So, any thoughts? Anything else I should be considering? This will be my first major project (I've done shmups and basic arcade games before).
EDIT: To clarify: by cross platform I mean, Mac, Linux, and Windows. Executable, not web based.

Dog wont stop peeing in the house!
|
Hey Reddit. So, I've owned dogs my whole life and know a good bit about training and behavior. I adopted a boxer mix 2 years ago and she has been doing fine. Recently, we adopted a second dog for the boxer to have someone to play with. They get along great.
The issue is the new dog (An American Foxhound) will not stop peeing in the house. He is about 7 months old. He knows to go to the bathroom outside. Every time we take him outside he goes and we give him treats. We yell at him when we catch him going inside. We have restricted his water and take him for a walk about an hour after he has water every time.
Yet, he still keeps going inside. It is in very random parts of the house and at random times. For instance, this morning we took him out around 7 AM, gave him breakfast and water, then took him out again around 8:30 AM. Between 8:30 and 12:00 PM he has already peed twice in the house. He hasn't had any water since this morning, and runs away when he notices we see him doing it. To me that means he knows he is doing wrong.
I just don't get it. A 7 month old dog should be able to hold his pee for more than 2 hours. He even pees in his crate at times.
Any suggestions? Thanks guys.

Binged on Heroin, fell asleep at computer chair, now my legs are swollen...
|
Well, my fucking ankles are swollen as fuck and I have a job interview tomorrow. I'm planning on wearing some Doc Marten zip-up booties that look like this but my fucking ankle is swollen from sleeping in a chair all night... every time I sleep in a chair, my ankles become swollen...
Maybe I have some other medical problem that I can't think of but I've been trying to lessen my intake of salt and drink lots of water. What helps swelling go down?? Should I be worried??
I know it was stupid of me to do enough heroin that I couldn't get to sleep in my bed. I'm not going to do that again. My girlfriend is mad enough as it is at me...
So... swelling from sitting in a poor position for hours and hours after heroin usage; how do I make the swelling go down so I can rock my Doc Marten's at my interview tomorrow, does this happen to anyone else, can this be indicative of another cut in the Heroin, etc, etc....?
EDIT: My ROA is sniffing and it was between 1-3 bags over the night...
NEW EDIT: The swelling has definitely gone down; hopefully it will be completely gone by morning.
LAST EDIT: I GOT THE JOB, BITCHES!!! THANK YOU, LUCKY DOC MARTENS!!! And the swelling has completely vanished. :D Hooray!!!

Target groups, subcultures, and finding your niche
|
I wonder if this idea was discussed on Seddit yet.
Im a, what you could call a metalhead/punk type of a guy, with everything that entails. Im also predominantly attracted to goth/punk girls. As it turns out, over time I become "specialized" in this target group, just by being true to myself.
I found that sarging women who already dig men like me (tattoed goths with dreadlocks and piercings etc) helps a lot with peackocking and opening (or often being opened). Going after girls from my own subculture guarantees far easier comfort building through commonalities (similar tastes in music etc) building attraction (easier to guess what will work) DHVing etc.
My old pal, who could be described as a member of the hip-hop/urban subculture is similarily specialized in his target group. He dresses the right way, knows many Djs and MCs, talks "street", and intuitively "clicks" with the type of girls who are within that group.
My younger brother is a dancer, and he almost exclusively dates women who also dance. Put him in a bookstore or in a bar and he'll be useless, but on the dancefloor his game is flawless.
I am curious of the opinion of the more experienced guys: is "specialization" a good way to go, or not? Any one else has experience with this kind of thing?

What is Blackbeard? A Man? A Hybrid? Or...[SPOILER]
|
**Original Post!**
Credit is due to CapnGoat.
There's a theory around Blackbeard called the **Chimera/Cerberus Theory**. This theory claims that Blackbeard's first devil fruit isn't the Yami Yami no Mi but a mythical chimera/cerberus zoan devil fruit. This specific devil fruit gives Blackbeard at least 2 more "People" inside him and has the ability to take devil fruit powers from other people (if they HAVE to be dead is unsure, it might just be easier to avoid struggle from the victims and prevent them from telling other people about his secret).
**Hints backing up that theory:**
**Blackbeard's flag has 3 heads.** A cerberus has 3 heads. And according to Greek mythology a chimera has body parts of 3 different creatures: A body of a lion, the tail from a snake and the head from a goat which would fit less to the flag's design but more to his ability to steal devil fruit powers. There's no beard or anything else that would be characteristic to what we know about Blackbeard as of yet. Luffy has his strawhat, Whitbeard had his mustache and Shanks has his 3 scars.
Blackbeard's Jolly Roger
**Skank's Scars:**
His 3 scars resemble scratches from an animal rather than any weapon we've seen up to this point in the story. It could be BB weapon that he used while with Whitebeard but that is a single dagger, not enough to make 3 lined scar.
**Manga Chapter 434 :: Skank's Speaks to Whitebeard.**
Skank's Scar
Skank's talking to WB
Skank's explains to WB about BB
Skanks explains to WB about BB's strength
**Marco said this in Chapter 577:**
That Blackbeard's body is "atypical" and that apparently all of Whitebeard's people (or at least the higher ups) know that he's "a little different".
Marco comments on BB body structure
**Blackbeard the name:**
Another trivia are the names. Edward Teach, the real world Blackbeard, was known under 3 names: Edward Teach, Blackbeard and Edward Thatch. Oda created 3 people out of that one pirate: Mashall D. Teach (Blackbeard), Edward Newgate (Whitebeard) and Thatch. Blackbeard ends up with Whitebeard's and Thatch's devil fruit powers, reuniting "Blackbeard".
**Luffy & Zoro's Comment on BB:**
In Chapter 225, Luffy and Zoro talk about Blackbeard as "they". It as if they saw a glimpse of what Blackbeard really is.
Chapter 225
Now the interesting part is: Just how many "people" does Blackbeard have inside of him? What do you guys think?
****This not my own theory i have just read this over reddit and dug it up, it belongs to CapnGoat.****
I will add more theories soon.
* **No swearing.**
* **Please keep this clean and do not fight over petty things :).**
* **If there is information incorrect or infomation you want to add to this theory please PM me :)**
*Have Fun!.*

Redditors who hate loud motorcycles: what successes have you had in dealing with them, and how can they be replicated elsewhere?
|
I hate loud motorcycles very, very much. They are nominally illegal in my city (Honolulu), but the police do nothing about them unless they are goaded into doing so. And even then, the onerous is on me to establish a "pattern of disruptive noise making." I went to the police commission and asked why they didn't enforce the laws on the books, and they said it was nearly "impossible" to do that on a consistent basis. When I asked why, the functionary basically said that cops don't want to enforce on big fat loud Harleys because they, too, drive them and have a lot of family that does it.
So, resourceful Redditors, what can I do to keep these bad human beings from waking me up at 6 am with their conspicuous consumption?

I go to church for the sex.
|
I'm a life long atheist in my 40's and I've been dating a Christian girl for about a year now. We both know she's hypocritical about having sex outside of marriage but her excuse is that she just can't help it. I stay overnight at her place on Saturday night, we go to church Sunday morning then spend the afternoon in bed before I return home. The sex is mindblowing and she aims to please.
She's into roleplay and I've considered suggesting a priest/catholic school girl scenario.
The church I attend with her is a "come as you are" church and frankly I think a lot of the women there dress "come as you cum" as there are a fair number of gals with super tight jeans, glittery makeup, and shirts that accentuate their ample bosoms.
I wish my phone didn't make so much noise when taking photos. :P

My friend was recently robbed at gunpoint and I need some advice. If you've ever been mugged, how did you feel/react after it happened? Did it change your social viewpoints or how you live your life?
|
My friend was robbed at gunpoint last week and I'm concerned about him because he hasn't really been the same since. He doesn't go anywhere late at night anymore unless I or our other friends are with him. He's expressed interest in buying a handgun and taking a gun familiarization class, something he's never cared about in the time we've been friends. Also, the two men who robbed him were black, leading my friend to make some... "unfortunate comments", if you will, in the past week, which is also not at all typical of him. Personally I've never experienced any violence in my life beyond childhood fights and pushing matches on the soccer field, so I'm at a loss what to say or do to get him through this period.
If you've ever been mugged or suffered a home invasion, did it impact your life in the long-run, or was the effect temporary? I know everyone is different, but what should I expect from my friend?

Why isn't French a Lingua Franca anymore?
|
I know that the British empire and the US economy were crucial to impose English as a Lingua Franca but I've always wondered if there's a reason in French by itself that made it less easy to learn or something.
I mean, despite the outcome of WWII French was taught as a second language at school in many countries for years (not so long ago) and even French is still an official language of the IOC, Eurovision (I realized that yesterday, right) and other institutions
perhaps as a remembrance of that glorious past.
Why? Was it harder to learn? Didn't they push enough?

Birth Control: The Pill, Nuvo ring and their side effects? (Also a review of all the methods I could find) Please input with advice as I'd like my girlfriend to choose the best one possible, or stick with condoms
|
Hi,
So my girlfriend and I are interested in obtaining birth control so we don't have to constantly interrupt the flow with condoms which also make it no fun to switch from sex to more oral activities due to that gross latex taste.
I've been looking into the various forms of non-condom birth control and am just looking for a little more input.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
**Yaz:** No go. Fuck that. Scary as hell.
**Estrogen-Progestin pill:** Seems like it's the most reliable, still the same blood clot risks as yaz but at a much lower incidence rate and without the 50 deaths and 11,000 lawsuits (as far as I can tell.) Common side effects include nausea, sore or tender breasts, lighter periods and mood changes.
**Mini-pill or pure progestin pill:** Must be taken exactly at the same time of the day, every day of the year. Significantly less minor side effects than the pill, but also slightly less effective, maybe around 95%. Even being 3 hours late in taking your pill can result in pregnancy. Small risk of ovarian cysts, and a larger risk of tender breasts, and irregular periods.
**Progestin-implant:** Effective for 3 years. Might require surgery for removal if it has moved during the duration of its stay. 1 in 10 or more have headaches, infections, acne, weight gain, and tender breasts. 1 in 100 or more have just a huge list, headaches, increased appetites, and more here.
**Nuva-ring:** An inserted ring. May be felt by guys during sex (less than 1% of the time, honestly this might happen with us since sometimes I seem to hurt her a little especially at the beginning of sex, don't know if I'm touching the back or if she's just too tight). Estrogen and progestin.
**Ortho-Evra patch:** Way more estrogen but essentially the pill in patch form. This means more blood clot risk. Will probably stay clear of that for no more reason than just to shy on the safe side I figure.
**The Sponge:** Clean spermicide, slightly less effective than condoms, can irritate the vagina.
**Diaphragm or Cervical cap:** Put a ring in, must leave in at least 6 and take out within 24, blocks spermies from going too far. Between 6% and 16% failure rate.
**Sterilization:** Just not happening.
**Natural family planning:** Have to test your cervical fluid whether its sticky or slippery, if sticky its a go, if slippery its a no. I wouldn't mind doing this one I don't think, no side effects!
**Implant:** Sits in arm and releases progestin, less than .1% failure rate. Irregular bleeding in about 10% of women or so. Possibilities of acne, sleight weight gain, and mood swings. Can stay in for up to 3 years. This one seems almost good, progestin only so it probably won't effect her libido as something with estrogen might?
**IUD:** This one seems pretty sweet too as I see it. Inserted, can stay for a long time, doesn't actually affect my girlfriend with hormones. Paragard can make periods heavier by releasing small amounts of copper and the Mirena releases small amounts of progestin but the progestin isn't absorbed (too much) into the blood stream.
Also, theres variations, some are slightly more testosterone based,
some are more estrogen based. Good lord!
**tl;dr** I have no idea what I'm looking at. Estrogen-progestin seems most popular. Progestin only has less side effects. IUDs actually seem like a great way. And Yaz scares the shit out of me. Just hoping for some input from the r/sex community to help us make the decision as well. I don't particularly want my girlfriends mood to change, that's kinda scary to me as she is the calmer of the two of us in a lot of ways (although we're both pretty calm I think).
Any input is welcome, thanks in advance and I'll probably thank you if you comment as well.

Why do euro V8s sound different the american ones
|
ok while the BMW M5, AMG Mercs, and other German V8s usually have always had higher pitches than their american counterparts i have never found out why. i know that the US ones are a little bigger so that probably plays a part since most Germans don't get much larger than 5.5 lt but for the most part i always assumed that it had something to do with the fact that the euro cars have had DOHCs and higher compression while most GMs had 16 valve push rod motors and fords have had 16v SOHCs until recently but after hearing a new mustang with the coyote V8 (DOHC 32v 5.0 11:1 comp) that still has a characteristically low range growl I'm wondering what else could be at play (maybe a longer stroke) that give domestic V8s to this day a deeper tone?

Non-Jew needs help with Judaic studies final paper!!
|
I have a final essay for my Judaic Studies class and I figured this would be the best place to get insight! So the question basically goes...
Based on your reading of the Book of Exodus and handouts of Jewish holidays (the handouts covered the main holidays of Judaism) discuss the political, spiritual and communal significance of the Exodus experience in the formation of Jewish cultural and religious identity. Be sure to include the following points-
1. What were some of the challenges and goals of the life in the wilderness after the Israelites were saved by God?
2. How does the experience of slavery and Exodus influence the Jewish approach to social justice?
3. How do the biblical holidays designate sacred time and in what way does the exodus remain the pivotal event for each of them?
4. How do the celebration of the various life cycle events reinforce the values established through the Exodus narrative?
Its a research paper, so I've got to have a strong thesis, but I am just stuck on brainstorming, its hard for me to piece of all this knowledge together and create something coherent.
Any insight would really help me, or even just suggestions or ideas too.
You will get upvotes and be helping another human being!!!!
Edit: You guys have been extremely helpful thank you so much!

LPT: How to stay warm when the power goes out if you have a gas stove: Boil multiple pots of water.
|
So I'm on the shore of NJ, got hit by Sandy and lost power for about a week. We have an electric stove, but a friend of ours has a gas stove. She put 4 pots of boiling water on the stove and used the lids (open is more heat, the more you cover the pot the less heat[steam] it gives off) to regulate the heat. This worked surprisingly well, keeping most of her house quite toasty. Couple of drawbacks: This basically turns your house into a sauna so you don't want to be doing this for an extended period of time, if you have hardwood floors they might warp. But, in an emergency, like when you've just been hit by a hurricane and know you aren't getting power back for at least a week, can't get to a friends' house, and it's damn near freezing outside, this can and does work.

Tell me everything I need to know about playing Darius top!
|
As I am sure you are all aware, darius is on sale and I've been waiting for this for a while. Top is my least played lane and my only successful champion in top lane is rumble. As far as other positions go, I would consider myself a very strong mid and AD. mechanically I'm decent and very strong at cs'ing (as strong as you can be at 1400 elo lol). However I've always shy'ed away from top lane and Darius has always been a champion I've admired, so soon as his sale came up, the spare 500 RP i had was soon gone.
I know westrice recently made a guide but I would like to read a couple, preferably by higher end players if you know of any other 2k elo darius guides that would be great. other than that just what item builds are best, what champs should I look to play against or avoid etc..
thanks alot!

|
Hi Guys, I have a boat, it currently has 2 amps in it a kicker ix404 and a kicker zx750.
The zx750 obviously powers a sub and thats all good.
the other amp powers 4 interior speakers and 2 tower speakers and it doesn't have the oomph I want.
I am looking at hifonics to replace it, either the zrx1000.4 or teh zrx2000.4
Basically the tower speakers can take 350 rms each the interior speakers can only do 100 rms.
The 1000 is rated bridged at 500wx2 @ 4ohms. The tower speakers are 4ohms, if I bridge channel 1/2 and hookup the tower speakers in parellel that would give mt eh wattage I want but would drop the impedance to 2ohm. Will this blow the amp because it is rated for 4ohm?
I am basically trying to determine if I can save 100 bucks or if I need to buy the 2000.4 to make the speakers rain.

Women of sexxit. Does sex feel different for you if the guy doesn't wear a condom?
|
All guys will agree that sex feels WAY better without a condom. I was wondering if girls feels the same way.
Edit 1: Well it seems that that almost all women are 50/50 on this. As always the golden r/sex rule applies. Talk it out with your partner.
Update 1: It's been almost 3 months. Why are you guy still beating a dead horse. Stop writing comments.

US upgrade question - SGS3? If so, which carrier? (I'm sure there will be many of these threads soon)
|
I'm sure there will be plenty of other similar threads on this topic in the coming weeks, but this one is mine. Though I do hope that the conversation can be useful across the board (assuming everything is kept civil and rational). (Wait, this is reddit! What am I talking about???)
Backstory for me: currently using OG Evo 4g with Sprint. I have been very unhappy with the awful wi-fi on the device, and Sprint coverage in the North Austin, TX area has been awful for a few months now. I was seriously considering the new Evo LTE, but decided against it as having a removable battery saved my bacon a few times on my current phone.
Additionally, for the purposes of this conversation, I am carrier neutral between ATT, Verizon and staying with Sprint. Due to a number of unique variables, I am not concerned with Unlimited Data plans or monthly costs, and there are no costs for me to change carriers. There is a possibly significant cost to me waiting to upgrade past the month of June.
First question: Do I go with my gut and upgrade to the SGS3, which appears to be available on or around June 21st? Or do I wait for the new Nexus announcements from Google? Do we expect the Google phones to be significantly better than the SGS3? Enough to justify the wait?
If I stick with upgrading to the SGS3, what carrier should I go with? I'm assuming that with Sprints limited/non-existent LTE coverage, they are likely out of the conversation, but I'm still listening to arguments for them. Things that I consider important: How much bloat does each carrier have pre-loaded? What carriers are more "android friendly?" Who is really the leader in quality coverage?
One last thing - Please do not reply stating something like "Sprint sucks, go with Verizon." This is not at all helpful. If you want to make a statement that one carrier is inferior to another, please state the actual reason for it. i.e. - "Sprint's coverage seems to be going downhill, maybe because they are scrambling to catch up to the LTE coverage of the competition. I've always had great coverage with Verizon" would be much, much better.

Shooting my first wedding in two weeks, and I still don't have a flash!
|
I'm shooting my first, completely indoor wedding in two weeks and I just realized that I don't have a working flash! I was originally borrowing a flash from a fellow photographer, but she's going on a trip and needs it back, so that leaves me without one. Since I'm a beginner, amateur photographer, I don't exactly have the funds to purchase amazing flashes, especially because I own an Olympus model, so it must be Olympus specific. I've been looking on eBay, and so far the best deal looks like a ring flash. My question is, will something like this work for a wedding/reception, or will it not help at all? I'm most likely going to be shooting fast-movement, so I need a flash that helps limit blur, but still doesn't cast harsh shadows. Thanks!
I guess my overall question is: would a ring flash work well photographing a wedding and the reception?

Please Help! My Fraternity brother lost his father, his home and now his mother is terminally ill with cancer.
|
My fraternity brother Jake has had so many hardships in his life. He lost his father and had to go through college with only his mother to support him. He is a profound member of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity and a student at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA. He's an amazing person to be around and always has your back. His mother was just diagnosed with a rare form of terminal cancer. After the storms hit the east coast last week, his house has been destroyed by a tree that fell. Any donations would help provide for Jake and his sibling to make sure their mother is cared for as she peacefully moves on.
In the Jewish religion chai is the word for life. Often we make donations in variants of chai. Chai also stands for 18 so any donation of a multiple of 18 would be greatly appreciated. He's a great person and has gone through so much. Just looking for a little help for a straight A student who deserves a better life.
Link here:
Jake Forer's family is going through an incredibly difficult time. His mother was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma, a rare skin cancer, and is terminal. She is his only living parent. On top of this already life shattering news, a tree fell and crushed his house on Friday during the wind storm. His mother is currently living in the hospital while Jake and his sister live with a family friend.
Jake Forer is our fraternity brother. His family is our family. His hardships our hardships. We started this page because we are one. We must help our brother.
Between our collective families and networks, we aim to help alleviate the burden of hospital bills and potential repair costs to his home.
In Judaism, giving Tzedakah means doing what is right and just. As much as we are part of a Jewish fraternity, we are members of the Jewish tribe. Please share this message with your parents, grandparents, and rabbis and give what you can.
$20,000 might seem like a large amount, but it pales in comparison to the exorbitant cost of medical, repair, and tuition bills his family is now forced to suffer.
All donations will be sent to the AEPi Paypal account and given directly to the Forer's.
Give what you can, be it $5, $50, or $500. It is easy to demonstrate brotherly love during times of happiness. It is our responsibility and our joy to do so during times of hardship.
Thank you for reading and for contributing.

Every time I do cardio my right ear feels like it's full of water.
|
I'm currently doing the beach body insanity program (just finished the first day of week 2) and within the first 5mins of every video my right ear feels like it's full of water and it makes hearing difficult. It doesn't pop though.
It goes away about 5-10 minutes after I'm through with the video, but it's very annoying. I tried looking on WebMD and couldn't find anything. Is this something that goes away with time (haven't worked out in a long time) or is it something I need to get checked out?

General tips on reducing non-essential spending?
|
Hi all,
I'm looking for some tips on reducing what I spend on non-essential things. It seems Amazon has made it a little too easy to get hold of things I am interested in or think are useful. To be clear, I'm not just junking up the house. I use the things I buy but I feel like a good portion of those things are non-essential.
My fiance and I are trying to start saving for a down payment for a house and I know that if I can sort out a way to better pair down to the essentials in purchasing, we can save for the house faster.
To give a little context, I am/have...:
* NOT in credit card debt. My two primary reward CC's are paid off monthly in full.
* investing money in both a Roth IRA and 401K (past employer match).
* one major debt, student loans (~$34,000 remaining)
Examples of things which I've bought that were non-essential recently...:
* new hat off Amazon - ~$35
* new Bible that contains some church-specific material (i.e. We're Episcopalian and I was tired of reading the Book of Common Prayer on my laptop) - ~$50
* new pair of brown dressy shoes - ~$100
Nothing particularly outlandish, it just seems after looking back at the last three months of spending on Mint.com I've spent more than I had thought on non-essential things (~$800). Perhaps I indulge my whims too much? I've even tried the two week waiting period on purchases, and still ended up with some of these things.
Thoughts? We're not in dire straits here like many of the folks who post here, but I'd like to improve our rate of saving for the house.
EDIT: accidentally a word

Improve the Swamps (Needed Badly)
|
Swamps NEED to be fixed. To start, they need their own trees. They should be willow trees, having their own log, planks, and sapling, with two variants, big and small, like the trees in jungles, with the big ones having 2x2 trunks and small ones having 1 block trunks. Secondly, these trees should spawn in water more, and be closer together on land, to get that dense, swampy feeling. Next, giant mushrooms should RARELY spawn on land. It may not be the best addition, but I feel like it would be cool. Next, the water in swamps should look more green, to simulate algae, rather than its current dark blue/green color. Last of all, it needs some of its own mobs, such as frogs/toads, alligators, and maybe snakes. The standard mobs, like pigs, sheep, chickens,and cows, shouldn't spawn here, due to the fact that they don't actually live in swamps. UPDATE 1: I have formed new ideas. How about villages in swamps, but on water? Considering the fact that swamps are mostly water, it would work. They would look more like huts, rather than actual houses. Another idea would be tall grass/cattails that grow on top of water near the edges of land in swamps. An even better idea I had would to have a luminescent mob - the firefly. It would be tiny (essentially particle-sized), and emit a small amount of light as it flys around, maybe with a green or yellow-ish tint. You can't kill them due to their very small size, but you could capture them inside bottles. I will form more ideas later.

Buying used or refurbished HDDs?
|
What are your thoughts on this? I was thinking about buying a used Western Digital Blue 7200rpm 500GB HDD for 40$, or two for 75$. The guy said there's still a warranty, and correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you can call in and check the warranty. If not I was thinking about buying refurbished since the floods, the cheapest I can find a HDD is 90$. (I'm Canadian BTW.) My dad works at a Memory Express and they removed the discounts on the hard drives because of the floods. But from what I see they only come with a 60-Day warranty when you buy refurbished HDDs.

Simcraft for League of Legends
|
I don't know how many of you are familiar with Simulationcraft, but the gist of it is that it's a tool for analyzing potential DPS and raid composition in World of Warcraft. I haven't used it since I quit WoW over a year ago, but the more time I spend mathcrafting for LoL, the more I wish that there could be a similar project for all the Summoners out there.
The problem is that my technical expertise basically extends only to simple Excel calculations, and that LoL would be an incredibly complex system to model mathematically due to the incredibly high number of potential matchups and all of the different factors at play.
So as not to turn this into a "omg i have such a great idea i just need a programmer, designer, writer, producer, director, tank, and support to get it off the ground", what programming languages could experienced players recommend for someone looking to start this sort of thing? I'd obviously be thrilled if there were people out there willing to brainstorm this with me and get it started, but I fully understand if I have to go alone at first. Does anyone have any suggestions or things they'd like to see from this? All feedback is welcome.

Odd questions, but does anyone know of something ready-made that I could hook up to my PC (running OS X), and use to trigger either a light or sound based on ... well, events? I want to set off the alert any time a sale is made at my company.
I know that 'events' is kind of ambiguous. Right now I'm triggering the sound based on a Mail rule, but that's a bit flakey and I'd like to divorce the alerts from my computer's speakers.

Why was there so much social activism during Vietnam (protests, music, etc.) yet little to none about Iraq/Afghanistan?
|
During the Vietnam War there was over a decade of social activism against the war and all war in general. I imagine most of you are all very familiar with all of this whether it was protests or the music but I am curious as to why there is very little for Iraq/Afganistan. So many parallels can be drawn between the conflicts and it is common knowledge that America has accomplished nothing and that trillions has been spent. I just find it very interesting and I was curious as to what kind of insight reddit may have on the subject.
