Any gay men having problems with nofap?
|
As a gay, virgin, almost 18 year old, I'm finding this ridiculously hard (no pun intended.) I can't just go out and date/ meet people, since I live at home, and finding good gay guys is impossible in my area. I've previously gone 4 days, at my longest, and been doing a cycle of 4 days off, fap, 4 days off, fap. I want to stay strong, but I feel its too much.
Any other gay guys having similar issues?

Wake to feed every 2-3 hours for the first 3 months?
|
Just got off the phone with a friend who bragged that his 10-day old slept through the night last night.
"But don't you wake to feed??"
I have an eight-month-old and our pediatrician beat it into our head that we MUST wake to feed for at least the first 3 months and we should sleep in the same room as the baby for the first 6 months. We're friends with about 8 other couples who had babies around the same time as us, and all of their babies we're placed in another room and left to sleep through the night after the first 2-4 weeks.
Do we have a crazy pediatrician (two, actually - we sought a second opinion)? My wife and I love each other and this kid, so we just took every other night and got excited each time he woke up, but I still feel like we're weird cultists for waking to feed our kid every couple hours for the first 3 months.
An experience here?

Anyone else planning on dusting off a Light Cruiser now?
|
With the release of S6 you can now purchase the Light Cruiser from the shipyard for 8,000 Dil. Having regrettably discharged mine long ago, I think I will refit my old starter and put her back into use, just for fun. Thinking DBBs or dual cannons up front and beam array or turret in back. Or maybe just a traditional BA+torp load. Probably some armor, field emitter and phaser relay for consoles.
Anyone else?

Dear Reddit, I am broke and sick...
|
Well, here goes.
I am beyond broke and have a bladder infection. I have maybe $10 to my name and am having the worst bladder infection of them all. I called clinics and they aren't helpful. Even if I did recover on my own, I still need to buy essentials.
See, I got fired in November and am STILL jobless. I changed jobs, and got certifications to become a caregiver. My car is on the verge of saying 'fuck this' and breaking down. :( I drove TWO hours for an interview and it lasted fucking 10 minutes. Then I had to drive home, depressed as shit. Didn't help that I had no GPS and was trying to read directions off a piece of paper while driving (yes, extremely stupid!) so I had to take toll roads...
Anyway, I had an interview Thursday and it seems SO promising. But I'm so nervous. If I enter this job, it is very strenuous. I don't want to be that person who is so sick she passes out and ends up in the ER with huge bills.
Even if I do see a doctor, how will I feed my pets? I have a guinea pig I rescued and a hamster currently. I love them to death and rescued them both. After my beloved Gigabyte died 1/23, I was so lonely I rescued another guinea pig. And I thought things would be okay, but, Gigabyte's bills total over $400 + and CareCredit (Scumbags!) are calling for money like crazy. I gave in and gave them $50 today in late fees and minimum payments and have $10 left.
Is there anything I can do? I have $10 to my name. I've sold my Xbox, TV, all my gamer stuff, plus anything else. I tried to do a fundraiser selling dog biscuits (which I make very well) and I tried a ChipIn. I will die before I put my pets last or lose them. They want for nothing because I am providing well for them.
So, what do I do? Could I sell my plasma or something? Maybe my troublesome kidney? I can't sell my eggs because I have BPDII and my gyno doesn't know if I have any eggs left anyway after chemo (I am recovered now).
I hesitate to post the ChipIn link because I don't want to seem like a begger. Sorry if I rambled too much.
The short of it: I have no money and no job. How do I make money fast?
I assume donating blood will just make me weaker...maybe my boyfriend would?
But where does one go in Colorado (hopefully close to Denver) to get money for this?

Musings on Ken Cosgrove, his future, and his role at SCDP
|
I just finished watching 'Signal 30' again and was really struck by something Ken said at Trudy's dinner party.
He was talking about his sci-fi story Cynthia brought up, and Don asked him why the robot character killed all the human characters on the bridge by pulling a bolt. Ken said something along the lines of "he's just a robot to the humans who own him. He just does what he tells them, nothing more. He has no say in the decision, but ultimately decides if that bolt stays on the bridge or not."
Obviously Ken writes from his daily experiences, as do all good writers, and this is a vague, albeit much clearer now, reference to his life and job at SCDP.
With his new found "golden boy" role as the firm pursues Dow Chemical, it seems that Ken is increasingly in the position to be the one to "pull the bolt". I picture an upcoming conflict where Ken wants to be part of the brain-trust behind strategic decisions, the firm is resistant, and even he has some internal conflict over what he truly wants for his future.
It also falls into the overall arching theme of characters deciding between "what they truly want, or what they are expected to want".

HTML5 & Canvas for Drag and Drop image creator
|
I do the development for a small start-up doing web-created wine marketing materials creation. Right now, everything is created on the server side and sent to the page as an image.
I've always wanted to give the user a blank page, and all the information/graphics we have on a particular wine, to let them create their own marketing materials. I've seen some cool things with canvas in HTML5, but it is way out of my depth. Anyone know if this is possible with HTML5 or still Flash's territory? Thanks!

My 96 XJ is still overheating, need some professional advice..
|
Ok, so I bought this 96 Jeep Cherokee. I noticed it would overheat after extended driving (at the tail end of the drive, and when pulling into the driveway). When I come to my final stop and idle for more than a minute the temp goes up and it will edge slowly towards the red if I don't turn the heater on full blast.
So far I have put in a brand new 195 Stant Thermostat. A brand new radiator. I bought a new radiator cap, and found out yesterday it wasn't holding 16psi like it was supposed to. I bought a new rad cap, and thought I fixed my problem. Well turns out I didn't. I also burped the system very well.
So then I replaced that catalytic converter because it was rattling.
Oh and there's fresh coolant 50/50 with distilled water.
The water pump looks brand new.
I also replaced the fan clutch, and the fan shroud.
I had a mechanic do a pressure test on my cooling system, no leaks, and he said it didn't show any signs of cracked head, leaky head gasket, or warped head.
Also bought a combustion leak tester and did it 3 times, following directions to the tee. It didn't show any signs of combustion gasses in the coolant.
Is there anyone in Colorado Springs that would be willing to help me get this figured out, I would compensate..
otherwise please post any advice you might have.. Thanks.
I always drive to the store (about 5 miles away). The trip there is fine always stays at about 200. After coming back to the car after 30 mins of shopping, the drive home is where I run into trouble. This is consistent, happens every time.
Thanks!!!

Hey r/gaming, I am gonna build a gaming PC, but I need help- all advice is appreciated!!

So hey r/gaming. I am going to build a pc. This idea occured about 1-2 weeks ago when i was looking at Borderlands 2, thinking that i want to start playing games like these with my friends on a PC. I have a PC, which has helped me over the years, but only for administrative things like Itunes and Microsoft Word. Now i need help to build a real gaming machine!
-The games that i plan to play on it are Borderlands 2, Battlefield 3, CoD Black Ops 2, Diablo 2, Arma 2 (DayZ!!!!), CoD MW2 and so on and so forth (FPS games with big maps and high quality).
-I want to spend around 1000$, but i am willing to move my budget up a bit if you advise it to make the computer future proof.
-I have literally no idea of what parts are compitable with what parts, which operating system is best (i have been using Vista in the past), and where i could/should focus my money.
Any advice, websites, your own building rigs/plans etc. would be GREATLY appreciated.
**tl;dr** I am building a gaming pc, and it should be around 1000$, for games like bf3 and broderlands 2, and i need your help through advice, websites, gaming rigs/plans

UPDATE: Denver Meet-Up Success!
|
Bromos,
If your area hasn't done a meet-up yet, do one. Soon. This stuff is fun as hell!
We had our Denver meet-up last night, and it started off small with ThrobbingPwner and Elucidarius and I rolling into it. Got to know each other, what sub-reddits we're on, shit we care about, etc. I was raggin' on our less-than-peppy waitress, but Pwner said he would call forth the hounds of Hades if I didn't cut her some slack. (He worked in the service industry.) Afterwards letting her slide, Elucidarius started hatin' on her southern accent, starting it all back again.
Pwner dipped out, and we were joined by RedWings, and he was spouting off some bullshit about the Florida Gators not being the most bad-ass college of all-time. I kicked him in the throat after he insulted Tebow, and went back to drinkin' my IPA. From there, we were joined by a dude and his gal-pal who has been a lurker for a bit. Afterwards, her ex rolled up (in the glasses), and he was just... sittin'. It was all good, though.
There was talk about music, the fucked up ways of Grindr, best local spots, and other random stuff. And of course, here's a picture to prove that it actually happened. We'll be planning another one soon, so be on the look-out for it!
Cheers!

I feel like such an idiot for believing my ex when she said she wanted to be friends.
|
At 23 I've never had a lot of friends and only one girlfriend, which was a relationship that only lasted a month. After we broke up she said she wanted to still be friends and be in my life. The only thing that was wrong with our relationship was that we had to do long distance after the initial month and we just weren't happy with it. But before that it was amazing and we both really liked each other and spent a lot of time together enjoying one anothers company. We shared a lot of similar interests and if things were different I think it could have been something. Anyways... After we broke up she said she wanted some space and we both needed it. Now it's been a few months since we've talked and I feel like I would like to get back in touch with her. I thought, what with the holidays coming up, I would get her a little gift. We both bonded over video games so I sent her a game I thought she would like through steam. So I send it. Days pass and it's still sitting in my inventory even though she's on all the time. I notice today it's finally gone but did I get so much as a thank you? No. I get nothing.
She said she wanted to be my friend even though things didn't work out. She said she wanted to be my best friend even. What bullshit. I feel like I've been lied to so many times. I fucking feel like such an idiot.

Sociological Stigmas and Brony-ism!
|
Today we were talking about stigmas in class (coming from a sociological standpoint), and the prof asked for real-life examples. I raised my hand and shared that being a Brony provides a voluntary stigma, one in which I use to create humor and happiness. Thus, are we Bronies creating a humorous critique of social stigmas in our self-proclaimed Brony-ism?

Mosin Nagant Magazine Unreliable
|
I've seen this issue with two different Mosins, my M91 from 1918 (2 inches longer than the M91/30 and with a Romanov double eagle tapped out on the receiver) and my friend's M44. The bolt often fails to strip a round off the top of the magazine because they get pushed down a bit too far. Usually the first round works, but then the rest get stuck like that. We either have to lift the round up with a knife or screwdriver or something, or drop all the rounds out the bottom by opening the mag.
Anyone else experience this? Is is a problem with our manual of arms or something?

interesting issue when I re-oringed my PM6
|
so my PM6 was leaking in the breach and I wanted to replace all the o-rings since i haven't done it in way to long.
I bought all the needed o-rings from a local hardware store, went about replacing them all and when i put it back together, it was leaking out the back of the bolt.
the solution was to replace the new o-rings i had just put on the back of the bolt (the ones responsible for back of the bolt air leaks) with the old ones I had just removed.
now it is not leaking at all.
So my issue is, why would a new o-ring make it leak and an old one stop it. I know the o-ring was the right size, but could it possibly have been to thin? The shop game me the option of thick o-rings (which were WAY to thick) and thin ones (which looked about right) any ideas on what happened here?

Played my first legit nine with no cheating at all today and was so close to breaking 50
|
I've been playing a few times a month for about a year. Lately we've just been taking one optional mulligan a hole(we wind up using about half the time and the other half we'll just take what we get). Anyway, I was always averaging around 95 for 18 holes doing that.
Anyway, I played today and had a brilliant chance to break 50 for 9. Double bogeyed the first 3 and proceeded to go one over on the next 4. Wound up getting a quad and a triple on the last two holes to finish out at 52. Thought I had 50 in the bag pulling up on 8 and I guess the pressure got to me.
Anyway, this game is so damn addicting. I'm far from good, but I finally look like I belong on a course now. All my clubs are getting more consistent.

Having withdrawls... how hard is it to get euro beta?

I'm curious if i need to register an account in europe to make the euro beta work because i know thats the case for Ktera.
Currently if you go to the tera europe mainpage from a US ip it redirects you to Enmasse. however thanks to there forums being accessible + direct link to the shop you can get to this page.
Euro pre-order page
Once here i see you can buy the 4.5 euro (about 6 bucks USD)beta-lite which allows access to all the betas. Could i buy this... make an account on a different email and play during the EU beta weekends as well? or are there additional steps i will need to take to make this happen
thanks for any and all insight

Marathon running while sick?!
|
After completing my final 20 mile training run two weeks ago, I came down with a high fever, chills, and big time chest cold. I had a fever every night for about the next 5 days, and now, two weeks later, I still have a really bad, phlegmy cough and antibiotics don't seem to be doing much. I'm supposed to run my very first marathon this coming Sunday. I'm not that concerned about running while sick, it's just that I don't want to be down for the count for weeks after its done. What do you suggest? I would be sad to part with all that I've trained for, but is it really worth being sick for a month?

/astrology, I need a neutral reading into a relationship. I'm giving you no information. Consider it a challenge.
|
Hi, /astrology!
I need a neutral point of view here. I have consulted two professional astrologers on this matter: One is highly optimistic about the relationship (talked about "match made in heaven" and that kind of thing), the other said the astrology was "disappointing" (direct quote).
So I'm turning it over to you. The question being asked, of course, is: "Does this work as a romantic relationship? How would it affect the two parties individually, and would they feel satisfied with a long-term relationship?"
Here and composite. Let me know if you need anything else.

ELI5: How Can Different Versions of a Cable Support Higher Bandwidth, But Look The Same.
|
This is a couple part question. Cat6 ethernet cable can support greater bandwidth than a Cat5 version of an ethernet cable. Both of those cables look exactly the same, so what is different about them that let one support greater speeds than the other? Another example of this is with HDMI cables. The newer 1.4 version of cables support the necessary bandwidth for a 3D signal, but the older versions don't support that.
What is actually different about the multiple versions of the same cables that allow them greater bandwidth but look the same as previous versions of the same cable?
The second part of this ELI5 is sort of related to the first question, but it's about USB 3.0. If one end of a USB 3.0 cable looks the same as a USB 2.0, why cant both ends be the same? Why is one end of a USB 3.0 cable the traditional USB, but the other end a new design? Why is the newly designed end of a USB 3.0 necessary if the other end is the traditional USB, couldn't both ends have been the tradition USB style?

(Spoiler/Speculation ALL) About a certain organization, quitting their training, and going rogue
|
We know that the Faceless Men are a very serious and a fairly secretive organization, but I haven't heard too many theories about what happens if somebody in their training quits. They've told Arya a number of times she can just leave, but do we know what leaving entails? Would they really just let someone quit and go back to their past life? That doesn't make sense to me, they are in many ways a death cult so it does not seem right that they would just let their students leave. I was thinking that because of how dangerous their knowledge would be in the wrong hands, 'leaving' would mean their death by some method.
And another popular theory is about how Arya will remember her past at some point and leave. This seems fairly dangerous, the Faceless Men hate liabilities and a rogue assassin would be a pretty big problem for them. Don't they already know who she once was? I don't think she can ever return to Winterfell with the name Arya Stark without the threat of an assassin killing her.
I suppose it would be a good idea to reread her chapters, wording seems key in this speculation of mine.

Basically, SOVAC is part of AS that registers UCSD students to vote and at some point they started offering students incentives to register, like local discounts and wristbands, which is illegal.

(Spoilers All) The Question of the Dragonglass Cache
|
Hi all-- I've read the books and read the theories but am still hung up on the finding of the dragonglass cache. Does anyone have any further information on who hid the dragonglass cache north of the wall, how it got there and where it came from? I think if we had those answers we could make further speculation on many things.
WHO - Presumably someone that has traveled north of the wall that had access to a Night Watch cloak
HOW - Presume it was brought up from the south by someone to the north?
WHERE - Dragonglass was found in valria and also at dragonstone. Is the horn from valryia?
Any thoughts? I guess we could also use answers to the "why" it was buried up there. Was it for defense from others and wights?
It was freshly buried correct? Any insight is appreciated.

Victor Comte: The main reason why i asked this question. Guests like these are the reason why JRE is a cut above the rest. I came in with only a passing interest in athletics but left ridiculously satisfied. Also, talk about a motherfucker who knows his shit. Sure, the variety of guests Joe has means some episodes will be patchy, but it also means that gold like this can be unearthed.
Least Favourite

My mum is a gluten allergic, but gluten free food is horrifically expensive in dk. Anyone know of any good sites where you can buy decent priced gluten free food?

I posted this is in /r/lifeprotips, they told me about this sub, so here goes. I'm just asking about things like special flour, lasagna plates, some kinds of bread (she bakes and makes a lot of food herself, but sometimes i think it'd be nice with a break for her) uhm, most dry food that is difficult to make yourself really. Just a website or something.
Any ideas would be appreciated. We live in Denmark, so european sites or shops are probably best.
As an example of the huge price difference, a package of lasagna plates.
Gluten free: 45kr (USD: 8, EUR: 6, GBP: 5) for 200grams.
Not gluten free: 10kr (USD: 1,7, EUR: 1,3, GBP: 1 ) for 400grams.
It's silly and honestly almost breaking my parents budget.

How I lost 110lbs in a year - maybe some new advices
|
Hey /r/loseit,
a few weeks ago I asked this subreddit about how to get rid of the remaining skin after losing a lot of weigth. As the title says I lost 110lbs in about a year and a lot of ppl were asking me about how I did this and I finally found the time to make the post about it as I promissed in the private messages.
First of all let me point out that what I did was very stringent and you may have to bring a lot more of the famous "own will". But I will also write about how to boost yourself during the diet. I also went two times to my doctor to check my general health during the ~13 month I kept doing my program. I highly would recommend this for everyone trying to get rid of a high overweight, even if you dont go the hard way. I am not pretending to got the one and only tutorial, this is just me writting down what I did.
So what I did regarding foot was pretty simple. First of all I did something like a reset on my stomach. I got used to eat tones! of shit during the day and I thought that this would be the best way to deal with the hunger that I would defenetly have to deal with. I kept fasting over 2 and a half day, if i remember right. This also helped me to get a feeling of what "real" hunger feels like and I tried to always remember at this feeling when the normal, lets call it first-world-hunger appeared suddenly. So, after I was very hungry for 2 days I rewarded myself with a very very good steak. I only ate the steak with a hand of vegetables. No fries or any other sides. And guess what, it was amazing. Was the first time I really enjoyed a meal like that for a long long time, and this just by passing on on food for 2 days.
What I did after this is maybe not very recommendable since it MUST be damn unhealthy even if my doctor assured me that it was fine for me.
I only ate once a day for about 3-4months. I rotated between the stand alone steak, a nice herb bread I could get hear and a fresh vegetable soup my mum made me. Of course the main reason for this was to eat very less calories/fat/sugar and so one. But what I also did, and what was much more important for me, was that I re-learned to enjoy eating. After a long day at university (that i passed always very well without dropping in results) it was a very nice new feeling to come home and enjoy a fresh cooked meal instead of eating shit and fastfood stuff all over the day again and again. As I was very sure to not get into the jojo-effect (as I said, was like 3-4month for me) I started to eat more and it turned out that I was again able to only eat until I was full. Yeah!
Sports
Well, I hate sports. Take the walk to train station, from train station to university, from home to supermarket. If its not too long ofc. Take ALL the small walks you feel able to (or may even push yourself into something more) Do every every-day-life-workout you can find. Stairs, no elevator, ..., ... . I sometimes went swimming, but I guess this hadnt such a huge impact.
What I did to stay motivated
Get an excel sheet and track your weigth-loss. That really was the key for me. Be honest with yourself, track every day. Let it calculate average loss per day/week/moth. Dont get frustraded by day to day results. Let it draw a graph and see it falling. It really pushed me more than anything else.
Few more tips:
- If u like clothing and fashion. Go shopping. Look at the nice bodys on the ads, take cloths to the fitting room you would never ever fit it, realize you cant wear it. Again and again. Push yourself!
- As I wrote i went swimming. Expose ur body to people. Feel how bad you feel in your body.
- Tell friends about your goals. You cant let them down after you promoissed to do something for you! They will be happy to see you enjoying your new body.
- Take pictures of yourself, see how your body changes as u may will not notice it if you are losing the weigth slowly.
Regards

Why hasn't anyone made a 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' style comm badge that connects to your phone over Bluetooth?
|
The idea popped into my head, and it was so obvious I'd assumed someone must have already done it, but a Google search only reveals an original series flip style Bluetooth communicator, no Next Generation/DS9/Voyager style comm badge you could wear.
Any thoughts? Maybe as a DIY project?

Where would I buy an older style boat anchor?

You know how when you think of anchor, you think of these kind of anchors?
Well, I want to buy one like that. My reasons for this include: my girlfriend.
Kinda wanting to find a smaller one, like 3 feet or so high. But you cant buy anchors like this at Academy or even boating stores. Should I just give up and eBay this shit? Or look around locally. I live in San Antonio, TX if that helps at all.
Turning to reddit because multiple online searches have not brought anything up. Ideas?

Anyone done DIY puppy vaccinations?
|
My husband and I are possibly moving into a house soon, so we might be able to get a dog! I've been reading about training methods for the last couple years in preparation for the day when we could have a furry friend in our home, but now I'm starting to read up on the finer points.
I've been thinking about money-saving strategies, and I know it's possible to get vaccinations from some stores and administer them to the puppy yourself. Has anyone done this? We definitely have enough money to have the Humane Society or someone else do it if DIYing it isn't safe/a good idea.
EDIT: It seems I didn't phrase my question correctly. I am more just curious about the benefits of doing the shots on your own vs. going to a vet. If it turned out to be really easy/safe, and I just hadn't heard about it that much, then I would probably give it a shot. However, as it seems most of you are saying it's possibly dangerous because of questionable vaccine quality/lack of experience on my part, it's totally out of the question.
We have waited a couple years to get a dog because we haven't been financially stable (in school) and we have been living in apartments. Now we have the opportunity to move into a house with a big fenced-in yard in a safe neighborhood, and I have a secure job and no kids. I have a lot of time to take care of and train a puppy, we have money for emergencies, and we have a place where the puppy will be safe.
Again, I wasn't seriously considering doing the shots myself because I can't afford to take the dog to a professional; I can afford it, I was just looking for more information on this topic.

Can anyone recommend a good liquid multivitamin?
|
I suck at swallowing tablets. I always have. It's a mental thing. I know. I've tried everything under the sun, my throat freezes up and I choke on almost every tablet I try to swallow. I've been trying to take ON Multivitamins for a while now, I cut them up into small pieces and take about 1-2 tablets before throwing them back up. It's a horrid process. I was wondering if you guys could recommend a good liquid multivitamin for me? I already take liquid fish oil and that isn't too bad so I was hoping to do the same with a mv.

I feel the slenderman mythos has lost it's scare.

I wasn't around from the very start but I stumbled upon the stories of slenderman through 4chan and marble hornets and just general creepypasta. I also don't mean to be elitist but since the Slender game the whole slenderman thing has become harder to get into because now it is a joke run by the 12 year olds. I understand that my complaining is pointless because the game was great and more people knowing the legends is fun but it also kills it.
I'm sorry if you disagree but it is just my humble opinion and after the share amount of 'slendy' costumes over hallowe'en I just can't enjoy it anymore. Goodnight gentlemen and godspeed.

Is there an easy way to move a WIX flash/html5 website to Wordpress?
|
So my buddy has designed a really cool website through WIX, which is basically a flash/html5 drag-and-drop sort of set-up. Well now he wants to have a profile/community incorporated into the website and that just isn't possible on the WIX platform.
He owns the domain name, but has no access to the websites files. Such as template files, stylesheets, etc.
So is there an easy way to move this website to WordPress and keep it pretty much the same for the most part?
My only idea was to take a screen shot of the pages, and use a photo-mapping software to create the links, but that seems kind of like cheating to me.
I'm self taught at web-design, which means I know a little bit of everything, but I'm not an expert in any certain part.
Any help or advice if much appreciated.

What's the "best practice" when customizing Bootstrap?
|
I'm new to Bootstrap as well as LESS and I'm wondering how you guys customize Bootstrap values, taking upgrades into consideration.
So far, I've only found two ways to do it and I'm wondering if there's a better approach:
* **load your css after bootstrap's** This works, however, I'm missing out on the power of LESS and I'm redeclaring many bootstrap classes just to customize them... It would be nice if they were already in the bootstrap css when I compiled the LESS files.
* **overwriting values in variables.less** Is this the way to go? Wouldn't this cause upgrade problems if we're modifying the core of Bootstrap? Even if I went this route, what if I wanted to change the color of h1 tags? Those are hard-coded in type.css as @darkGray... do I modify type.css as well, or do I modify the value of @darkGray in variables.less?
I'd love to know if there's a better way of customizing Bootstrap... how are you guys doing it?

I've used vinegar and water, tried baking powder overnight etc but to no avail I've also scrubbed vigorously. Im also a broke student so price is a big factor so cant really afford a new bialetti. Please tell me its salvageable or even useable in its current state.

My best friend is trying to make a name for himself as a film reviewer. I want to get him the attention he deserves for his writing. Can r/movies help?
|
If there is a better subreddit for this sort of post, please let me know!
He's been doing it consistently over the entire summer, and punctually and religiously updates his blog every Sunday at 8:00pm. His writing is great, he's incredibly well researched, and he gives great, unbiased opinions of the films he reviews.
He has been one of my best friends for years now, and nothing would make me happier than to see how excited he would be over a few hundred views. He's also an incredibly talented short story writer, the film review is just something he happens to also be good at. He pulls a decent amount of views per week (between 10-20 a day), but I know he deserves more. Can Reddit help spike up his views a bit?
He doesn't know my reddit username (i'm pretty sure), so this will for the most part be anonymous.

Lumia 900 on Tmobile, what are my options?

Hey /r/windowsphone, I received an ATT Nokia Lumia 900 phone as a gift. Unfortunately I am on Tmobile (with my Lumia 710) and it doesn't seem like I can use my Lumia 900 on it without unlocking it. When I put my sim card it asked for a pincode (which I don't have).
It is SUCH a gorgeous device. I can't believe how amazing it is. :)

Surrendering at 10 minutes
|
So Hotshot just brought up the idea that "you should be able to surrender at 10 minutes", mainly due to the fact that his last few games had been less than inspirational.
Considering games can be "over" long before 20 minutes, how would you feel about the implementation of an earlier surrender time?
So I was just wondering, how many people would like the idea of being able to surrender at 10 minutes? Why or why not?
Personally I think that it's slightly too early to surrender for most games considering almost all solo queue games (and normals) can be recovered from just about any deficit.
tl;dr - 10 min surrender, yes or no? Why or why not?

I'm an idiot. Anybody know things about car lease agreements?
|
I'm going to start this off by admitting that I, apparently, am an idiot. I am wrong, I misunderstood things that apparently everyone else got right, and likely the right answer is that I have to pay the idiot tax, but I wanted to see if anyone had any advice before I give in to that.
Had to buy a new car a couple years back during Cash for Clunkers. Used car market was totally skewed from it, cheapest car I could find was fairly junky and still $7,500. But I couldn't afford a new car...or could I?
The local dealership told me they could get me into a new car, valued $16,000, for a really good deal. You see, taking out a loan on 7500 bucks was, with my back of the napkin calculations, going to cost me around $14,000 over the term of the loan. The dealer said the lease would end up being cheaper.
The way I walked away understanding the deal was that my down payment and monthly payments would be factored into the buy off price of the car, leaving me paying $12,500 TOTAL over the course of my commitment. I swear, I repeated this over and over again, that I would be spending a TOTAL of 12.5k to own the car free and clear. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, and I drove off with my brand new car.
Anyone who knows anything knows that I was completely wrong. Now the dealer wants me to pay 12,500 on TOP of what I already paid. Apparently this was the deal all along. I can't afford it, so I'm going to end up having to pay the penalties and fees and just give the car back to them. I don't know what those will run, but I imagine it's going to wipe out my potential to buy a replacement car.
The salesman who sold me my car is no longer there, everyone swears up and down that there's no way I could have gotten this impression, but I repeated it over and over while I was buying the car. I feel like no one sought to correct my misinterpretation because I would have never bought the car if I understood the deal.
Is there anything I can do? Hell, at this point I'd settle for just making the dealership's lives slightly miserable.

IAmA college undergrad who does 100+ hours of research per week year-round, speaks 400 words per minute, and saves the world from nuclear war. IAmA policy debater, AMA.

Search didn't return anything, so I figured I'd see if Reddit was interested in a glimpse into the ridiculous, unparalleled world of intercollegiate academic debate, where the average debater does as much research on each year's topic as a master's student would do on their thesis (over the course of two years). Forget what you think you know about debate: this is not *The Great Debaters*, it's the academic equivalent of Full Metal Jacket.
**Before you decide whether to skip or respond to this AMA, I would highly recommend checking out this link]( for an example of what it looks like.** Also, the right side-bar has some helpful videos where college debate "celebs" explain debate concepts. [This link will take you to another documentary about high school policy debate.
For those of you curious about the research produced, here's a link]( to the "case list," where debaters post citations. Simply click on any school on the left sidebar and click a team. Additionally, [here is a link to a team that posts full text citations, for those of you even MORE curious. Scroll down to the bottom and pick any attached document.
Ask me anything: culture, stories, explanations, time expenditure, you name it. I'll be here to answer questions for the subsequent 3-4 hours.
I'm not sure what "proof" consists of in this case, but here's an album with a pic of me debating, as well as a squad photo.

I was thinking, am I the only one who did this as I started to lose my faith? Maybe this is why so many religious people argue so much.
|
When I was starting to drift away from my faith, I found myself getting into a lot of arguments with atheists. I would get so riled up, and so mad, most of the time I was completely unreasonable. Thinking now, I realize this only happened because what they said made sense. I was raised to believe in god, and everything I thought I knew was being picked apart, and I was losing. I said some dumb things, and maybe this is why some people just stop using reason when arguing with us. Maybe it's just because we make sense to them, and they feel that everything they held dear to that point is out of reach, and hard to defend. Everyone hates being wrong. I guess I just want to know if any of you experienced this. If you read this far, thank you. I hope it made sense.

Anyways, I was definitely considering making my own lp/wt (haven't really decided which) with commentary since I am a girl and we just aren't heard enough in the gaming community (as in literally heard). So, bad idea? Good idea? If good, what do I need to get to make one? Was planning to try it out on SS for the sake of getting my name out and getting the public's opinion.
tl;dr
I am a lady thinking about making a lp or wt. Yes? No? How?

Was the Ullapool Caber Nerfed?
|
I play Caber demo, I love the caber. But anyways, I went to a Darwin's Danger Shield Sniper, caber'd him, yet no death. Same with an unbuffed medic. Maybe I'm insane, but was there a silent nerf?
Edit: Grammar, excuse me.

What the heck do I do? From htpc: Display port to hdmi adapter. Plug HDMI into Sanyo TV, but no sound. The htpc doesn't send sound through display port. Sanyo TV won't use another audio input when using hdmi
|
So, let me rephrase all that:
I have a display port on my htpc. I got a display to hdmi adapter, and hook it into my Sanyo 55".
Picture is awesome. But of course, no audio over the display port. Shouldn't be a big deal, but Sanyo does not one to select the audio input source. If the video input is hdmi, the audio input is hdmi.
Is there an adapter, or something else I can do? Is there someone that knows how to hack a Sanyo TV or something? I can't get almost all the way done with my htpc, and get stumped because Sanyo decided that there would never be a reason to select another audio source other than hdmi, and dell decided nobody would ever want audio throughput on a display port.
I'm a damn sad summbitch.

Are humans meant to be monogamous?
|
Is monogamy in humans culturally influenced or have we evolved to be monogamous?
I mean monogamous in the sense that two partners come together to rear a child. These partners do not seek other sexual relations until the offspring is able to take care of itself. After the child has been raised, the parents may go off to find new partners to raise another child with.
I understand this is common in birds and some mammals like wolves and beavers for example.
If monogamy is something that evolved, what benefits does a monogamous relationship have that a group does not (ex. one male with a harem of females).
If it is culturally influenced, how do you explain love?
Thank you for your input!
EDIT: typo

Irresistible urge to move whole body during some sort of meditation
|
Hi, I'm not doing any particular type of meditation, but before I fall asleep I try to slow down my breathing, stop moving and try to concentrate on one thought (visualizing numbers from 1 to 100; if I notice that my mind has wandered somewhere else I start over again from last number which I remember still being conscious about). The thing is that after 10 minutes or so my whole body starts to ache, itch. I just get this very unpleasant feeling which urges me to move my whole body. And after I do move (roll on my side) I get this huge sense of relief and fall asleep in a matter of minutes.
Is this ok? Have any of you experienced something like this?

[CK2] Question about culture specific buildings
|
In the game I'm playing I was of Dutch descent, now the newest heir is English and so I can suddenly build Longbow ranges across my domain. But what happens if the culture would change again, would I lose those buildings?

[TOMT] [movie] The name of a French film about a brother and a sister, stealing money, a video store...
|
There is a depressed, patheticly-depicted sister who eventually turns to prostitution, and her brother (the main-ish character) is involved in crime and drugs, and has roommates who sit around and make drugs all day.
Someone steals a shitload of money that was later hidden in a video case from this video store they owned that may or may not have been a porno store.
At the end there is a shootout.
That's all I can remember. Please help!

Is it possible to link a desktop to the internet via wifi?
|
There is probably a more appropriate subreddit for this question but is this possible? I have an older desktop I want to hook up but cannot physically connect and so I thought it may be compatible with wifi. If this is possible, what hardware would I need in order to make this happen?

Per request, outdoor furniture using shipping pallets
|
Per request, I've put together a DIY outdoor furniture from shipping pallets tutorial. I wanted to create a video, but got sidetracked while completing my masterpiece and didn't stop to make the video, so I've put together step-by-step instructions.
You will need one pallet for an Adirondack chair and two pallets for a bench. I will include instructions for making a bench, as I did not document the process of making the Adirondack chair. There are many tutorial videos online, I used one from DIY Network]( and another from [here]( The finished product will look like [this
* Take one of the pallets and remove half of the planks, leaving the support beams. This will be the seat. See my progress
* Take the other pallet and remove half of the planks, leaving the support beams. This will be the back
* Slide the two pallets together, intertwining the support beams
* Cut the support beams off the back of the pallet you are using for the back only leaving the support beams attached to the pallet you are using for the seat. See here
* Adjust the back to your comfort level and drill a hole on the outside of the pallets, drilling through both pallets using a carriage bolt, washer and nut. Drilling process
* Using some of the pieces from an unused portion of a pallet, create legs to have the bench sit off the ground. My legs were about 15 inches long. Drill or nail the legs to each support base on the seat with 2 inch deck screws or sturdy nails.
* If you want to add an outer piece of wood to the front of the bench to hide the legs/support beams, you can but this is only for looks.
* You are finished! Your bench should sit on the ground at an angle with the seat support beams resting on ground.
I've also included photos of the adirondack chair. It's the same concept of putting two pallets together for the back and seat and joining them with carriage bolts See the chair?!
Feel free to post questions/comments and I will attempt to answer them as best as I can!

Profession balloon artist looking for a place to serve on Christmas in the DFW area. [x-post r/Dallas]
|
Hope this is okay to post here. It seemed to fit.
I just moved to the Lewisville area a few months ago and the few friends I have are doing family things on Christmas and Christmas Eve so I thought that I'd try to find a place to help others. I'd love to use my skills as a balloon twister to perform for some sick or needy kids, but I'm happy to do what needs to be done. Building a new business here I don't have money, but I do have time and talent and if anyone knows a place that needs help I'm happy to do so.
Also, if anyone needs a gift for your kids and you're struggling financially I can bring a custom piece for you. No charge of course.
Here is a gallery of my [portfolio] ( so you know the stuff I do.

New Libertarian, looking for educational resources.
|
Hello All!
I have a fairly superficial knowledge of libertarian ideology, but from the knowledge I do have, I feel the libertarian party best reflects my personal beliefs.
I would like to better educate myself on the libertarian party ideology and history, and was wondering if any of you fellow redditors had recommendations for educational resources to accomplish this goal.
Books, articles, anything! I would like to learn as much as possible.

Can I use a regular large stock pot as a water bath canner?
|
Can I just get a rack to lift the jars 1/2" from the bottom of the stock pot? I keep seeing recipes mention 'water bath canners' and I don't really understand what makes them special besides the rack and usually being spotted aluminum, ha ha. I'm just making sure I don't need to buy special equipment aside from some kind of rack.
I'm excited to make some strawberry jam, already! And next month... I buy a pressure cooker/canner!
Also, this community is awesome!
EDIT: Bonus question! Is a pressure canner just a (usually) larger pressure cooker with a gauge on it? Or is there some other distinction?

Need build advice for HD video editing/3D rendering... $2500 or less.
|
Hey Builders!
I'm looking to build a machine for HD video production and 3D animation/rendering. I currently have a Macbook Pro, but it doesn't have the horsepower I need Maya and After Effects. I've built machines before, but it's been about 4 years. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Budget: $2500 or less
Uses: Video editing, 3D animation, 3D rendering, occasional gaming
Location: SF Bay Area (America)
I've never overclocked, but I'm willing to learn more about it if it will help speed up render times.
Thanks for your help!
