I need ideas for a package of goodies from the U.S. to a friend in the Netherlands.
|
I want to send a friend a package of goodies from the U.S. that they may have never tried or have access to the Netherlands. Can someone give a list of items they would like to receive or are curious about? Or, have known people from the Netherlands have liked. Here's some ideas I have so far:
* Girl Scout Cookies - Samoas
* Beef Jerky
* Movie Theater-sized candy (Hot Tamales, Mike & Ike, SweeTarts, Runts, Spree)
* Arizona Iced Tea
* Box of Corn Muffin Mix
* Small bag of corn flour to make homemade corn tortillas.
* Mexican meat seasonings.
* Chili spices packet for chili beans
* Slim Jims (not something I would eat)
* Cheetos
These are just some thoughts. I would appreciate any help in this area.
UPDATE:
I appreciate all the suggestions. This is my first reddit posting. I wasn't sure where to go to ask, but now I can the see value of reddit beyond entertainment. Thanks to everyone that helped out.

[NBD] My first bass! Ibanez GSR105EX.
|
After posting this question the other day, I got a lot of comments telling me I should go down to the store and try a lot of different basses before I decide. I got to thinking and realized that I hadn't tried any 5 strings, so I went back to my local Sam Ash and tried basses from Ibanez, ESP, and Squier both in and above my price range.
I was deadset on a blue, PJ bass but was really underwhelmed by the sound and action on nearly every single model they had. I finally spotted this GSR105EX, and decided that I should at least give it a try. Even though it doesn't look half as nice as the other options out there, and only has one pickup, I was really amazed at the way it felt and even more amazed that it had the sound I was looking for. It wasn't at all what the type I was looking at, but it really seems like a diamond in the rough for what I need. I used a $20 coupon and for the bass and a strap, I paid $205 out the door. This is just proof positive for me that you really should try before you buy.
Thanks for the advice /r/bass! Now to get practicing so I can get the technique down.

Is dressing down with Ferragamo shoes pretentious?

If you were to wear jeans or shorts with Ferragamo mocassin shoes, would that look pretentious? I bought a pair of shoes and am 50/50 whether to keep them. I want to have a casual look, but at the same time not look like a dbag for dressing casually with these. Here's a pic.

Total newbie question about hangar defense
|
So I was playing as the TEC rebels and I always loved using the strike craft, both in attack and defense, but the hangars that you can build can only hold 2 strike craft each. Is there any way to increase that? I haven't seen any research or anything so I'm guessing you can't, but I figured I would ask

For anyone who wishes there was more research on fibromyalgia
|
I am a 20 year old female who has been suffering with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and chronic lyme disease for the past 5 years. After years of ill-treatment at the hands of doctors and psychologists, I harbored a lot of resentment towards the medical profession.
Then, I began to health and psychology, and I realized there is almost no research on what it's like to live and cope with illnesses like fibro on a day to day basis. No wonder the doctors don't know how to treat us! From that point on, I've been trying to generate more interest in research on coping with invisible illnesses. This summer, I developed a survey with my professor to help gather more information on coping with fibromyalgia. If you have fibro, and would like doctors to be more informed about our illness so that they'll treat us with more respect, please take the 5 minutes to complete the survey below. The survey is completely anonymous, and you will only be contacted if you wish to learn the results of the survey. Thank you in advance for your time.

How common or socially acceptable was adultery in the West in the mid 19th-mid 20th centuries?
|
I'm most interested in the period from about 1850-1940.
Was it common to have a mistress/lover outside of marriage?
Was it more acceptable for one gender or class than another?
What were the implications of 'getting caught'?
I've been reading a lot of the fiction of Henry James and Edith Wharton and adultery seems to crop up a lot, but the way in which it is handled seems alien to me. I study literature rather than history so this question might be a stupid one, but I'd appreciate any helpful insights or reading suggestions to give me a little more depth of understanding! :)

Help my best friend finally beat leukemia!

Hi everyone,
My best friend of 10+ years was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia about a year ago and has recently been told he is no longer insured by his UC insurance (he attends UC Berkeley). In essence, they will no longer supply the chemotherapy medication that keeps the leukemia. Our hometown community is currently holding a fundraiser for him at a local music venue with Alan Parsons, Glen Phillips, Crosby Loggins playing!
(You can see the live stream [
If anyone would be so kind to donate financially to help my friend live the long and healthy life he deserves, you can help via paypal to [email protected]. I'm not entirely sure how paypal works but if verification is needed let me know!
It would mean the world to his family and friends if even a little was donated.
ALSO! Any other support that you can give is much appreciated! For example, does anyone know where cheaper medication can be obtained? Ideas or knowledge that you can lend to my friend, anything helps!

Mass Effect Glitch: Turian Havoc Soldier is fully maxed out.
|
Something very peculiar has happened to me while playing the Mass Effect Multiplayer. I finished up a silver round and had about 100,000 credits, so I spent it on a Premium Specter Pack. Didn't get anything special really. Rockets, a Vorcha Sentinel, A Female Human Soldier, a Turian Havoc Soldier, and some equipment. I decide to bring up my Turian since he probably leveled up and had some new Appearance customization. Open up the Powers screen and it reads:
51 points available.
Now this is strange because he only went up a couple levels, from 15 to 17. So I upgrade him as I normally would, and lo and behold I have more than enough points to fully spec him out. 6 perks in each power. I even have like 30 points to spare. I exit out and go back in and all the points are still there. I check up on some of the other soldier characters, but they have a normal amount of points. BTW, at level 17 you have 66 points to spend. That's enough to max out three powers and the first two tiers of your fourth power.
For now I've shut the game down. If this anomaly persists when I check back I'll be sure to take a picture and post it here later. I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Thoughts?

Avid porn watcher here, met a girl I really like spent the night with her and couldn't get completely aroused.Do you think the no fap challenge is for me? more details inside
|
So I met this really awesome girl, I like her a lot but have never really been this intimate with a women before, we spent the night together and I had a hard time staying aroused. I told her I had never really experimented that much with my sexuality and if we could take it slow. Like the awesome person she is, completely understood and we engaged is senate focus.
This greatly helped reduce my anxiety but I still had trouble getting aroused.She was really into me and I felt bad because no matter how bad I wanted to I could not reciprocate.
I think it has to do with the bad habit I have of watching porn and masturbating several times a day.I am worried that my attraction to an actual women has become diminished and I have a sort of emotional numbness to real life sexual encounters. It kills me that I am possibly jeopardizing this relationship if it progresses any further and potentially due to this habit.
Do you think this No fap challenge is for me? Will it help?
*edit- Thanks for all the support I will definitely give it a shot.
I had a hunch it might help I just needed validation--Going on day 3!

I'm obsessed with luring people into falling for me.
|
I just want them to fall in love with me (or start to), then I'm gone. I just like to be as thoughtful, insightful and charming as possible to someone, hanging out with them for a while and closely befriending or becoming intimate with them, then moving on. Some are already emotionally unsound and others were exceedingly balanced (and attractive!). There's no rhythm to it. I have stopped myself many times before it gets to a point where I could really upset someone, but i'd still say I do it compulsively.
The worst part is, I fully admit to being an asshole with this now, but I don't even consider myself a bad person day-to-day.

I rode a fairly hilly (to me) route yesterday for the first time. **EDIT: Here's an elevation chart of my ride:
After averaging just over 14 mph for this ride, which is down from about 18mph I would normally do solo on a flat route of this type, I was just wondering if and how much time other people normally lose on routes with hills as opposed to flat?
Physically speaking, it was **totally** exhausting for me, though quite rewarding compared to where I normally ride.

How would LoL champions do in DotA and how would DotA heroes do in LoL?
|
I have been wondering for a while if any champions from LoL actually could be in DotA for a while.
The only ones i could actually think would be viable are those who have a huge damage burst early with some high mobility. While i know that DotA the balance scale is different from LoL, in the way that everyone is a little more overpowered (which means that it still is balanced)
Also is there anyone from LoL, or even some other MOBAs or ARTS that would be not destroyed in DotA and the other way around, is there any heroes from DotA that would not break LoL or other games and under which circumstances would these they have to be ported to actually be balanced both ways, if such exist.
This is just a little question i have been asking myself the last week and i figured Reddit could help.
Just to clarify, it's just for the luls and some theory crafting, so enjoy coming up with some that could or think about how alchemist would wreck havoc in LoL 10 minutes in because of the massive gold lead

How does elm know what eggs are when never having seen one (since there are no chicken in the pokeverse)?
|
I started a playthrough of soulsilver today and noticed, that prof elm, while never having seen a pokemon egg, can identify it as such, or at least as an egg. If this was indeed the first time elm had seen a pokemon egg, why did he call it egg? How can he know what an egg is?
This observation of mine ties in with the theory, that pokemon came to be due to atomic or chemical pollution. The notion of an egg cannot exist when no one has ever seen an egg... unless "eggs" are a word from the past which has survived due to it's use for description of chaneira/eggxecute.
So real world animals and thus eggs have existed in the pokemon universe and have mutated, which explains why people still know what eggs are despite the apparent lack of eggs in general until 2nd gen (not counting chansey or eggxecute).
Edit: Since there are still people commenting: BobbySynth debunked my theory already ;)

First impressions of AC3. Not impressed. What am I missing?
|
I finally finished Revelations last night and started up AC3 today. So far, I'm just not blown away, which flies in the face of everything I've heard about the game so far.
I'm maybe an hour in, but so far all I've done is chase green icons. What happened to player input and decisions being important? I'm not doing anything. I walk to a green icon, watch a cinematic, and do it all over again. This had better go away later on. I cannot stand training wheels in games. I know everyone is different, but it's a big issue for me.
Please tell me I'm just being impatient and haven't gotten to the good parts yet, and that this is some extended tutorial.
Edit: What the fuck is with this combat system? You can't lock onto anything, and counters don't work when you have multiple enemies now? Why are the controls drastically different from...every other game in the franchise? This makes no sense.

Sometimes, doesn't Fez catch you off guard?

IDK why but I love that Fez rarely talks. It brings a funny awkward dynamic to the show.
I remember last week when Fez didn't talk for the first 45 minutes and then chimed in suddenly and Ronny goes into the "Big Cat" gag. When Fezzy chimes in with stupid and awkward stuff I sometimes catch myself laughing. When Ronny left the studio a couple weeks ago and left him hanging with dead air I laughed my ass off.
I understand why people give Fez shit but I think the way people, especially Ronny, gets him riled up makes me "howl" with laughter.

I've traveled around the US pretty extensively, in big cities, small towns, and everything in between. I've been through the southwestern states, as well. But I've never...not once...seen any kind of Native American restaurant.
Is it that they don't *have* traditional recipes or dishes? Is it that those they do have do not translate well into meals a restaurant would serve?
In short, what's the primary reason for the scarcity of Native American restaurants?

Radiance on illusion based heroes
|
I am not the best player in the world and I am looking for understanding on why people do this. I am a very logical person and I have thought about this alot and I simply cant see why, so I come to you, psuedo pros of dota 2 reddit.
Why do people get radiance on spec and PL? They are illusion based heroes and illusions do not get the damage that radiance provides. Also most of the time all of your illusions are in the same place as you and burn damage doesn't stack so it seams to be worthless on your illusions, which are supposed to be your strength.
The only thing I can think of is PL using illusions to push lanes with radiance but that just doesent seem worth the high cost for me.

Gf's roommate potentially owes money on unpaid rent. Should she be taken to court for it?
|
Ok. So. i have been seeing a girl (J) since November. J has a roommate (S) who both live in an apartment. The lease for the two of them ends Aug 8th. I will be moving in will J and S will be moving out.
This was set in motion around April when we decided it would be best.
We informed S during the month of April that I would be moving in and she would have to move out by Aug 8th.
However, (juicy stuff incoming) S has decided that she is moving out early. She started packing about a month ago, we haven't seen her since June 14th and the only thing left in her room is a mattress, nightstand, dresser, chair, and trash thrown about in the room, including a used pregnancy test lying on the floor.
The rent is due July 1st. J went to talk to the Apt Manager earlier in the week if S had paid her half of the rent. She obviously has not paid.
I called her today and ask her if she is going to pay July and August's rent and get her stuff out anytime soon, she says her name is still on the Lease so it's still her apartment so yes she will get her stuff and pay the rent.
She texted J today saying that her rent is in a drawer in her room with a third of the rent money in it. (With J and Myself paying the other half)
While I understand what she is trying to do, she is not going about it correctly.
My name is nowhere on the lease. The Apt Manager knows the situation behind J and S (lots of drama, S is crazy, etc) and that I am sleeping over every night (I do not stay at the apt by myself, I do not have a key, etc).
So what I am asking of you is, what are the legal options we have.
We know the rent has to be paid in full. The roommate is only giving a third of the money this month and Im guessing a third next month as well.
Would it be a viable option to take her to small claims court and collect the money that is owed to J?
Any other advice?
TL;DR -- Girlfriend has crazy roommate who is leaving early and only paying 1/3 of rent claiming I am magically on the Lease agreement all of a sudden.

Trouble with Razor Revamp by Razor Emporium
|
About 2 months ago, I sent a Gillette Fatboy in for restoration by Razor Emporium and it arrived today, much to my excitement. I had heard great things about the Revamp process and as a result was expecting great things to happen to my razor.
Not so:S Although overall the razor looked nice and shiny (I had it plated in nickel), I couldn't help but notice that there were some significant flaws to the work that had been done. The edge of one of the silo doors had brassing, as did the ring at the bottom of the razor. There was soap scum on the end caps and the edges of the razor tray also had plating wear.
EDIT: I just spoke to the store manager and she's agreed to redo all the work, free of charge of course. During our conversation I enquired whether, rather than replating it in Nickel, she might be willing to replate it in Rhodium and whether she would give me a quote to have that done. She volunteered to do it free of charge and apologised for everything that had happened. If all goes well, I'll be more than satisfied!
EDIT 2: u/almightywhacko requested some pictures so I thought I'd include them here as well:
EDIT 3: Formatting to reflect final outcome of the appeal to razor emporium.

After I did the first quest for the Thieves Guild where Byrnolf or Byrnolv (can't remember name off the top of my head) gathers everyone around so you can steal something, he stays standing there. I can't get him to move, meaning I can't continue with the quests.

Help coding a numerical solution for a system of three coupled partial differential equations
|
I have been attempting to model a rather nasty action function with respect to an electron in a Coulomb potential of a hydrogen-like atom and a fluctuating magnetic field. Working in a spherical basis with respect to the rotations of the electron (with a constant radius rho), and a Cartesian basis for motion of atom (however, motion in the x and y directions for the proton are assumed to be negligible), I have a set of three trajectories, z', theta', and phi', which creates a set of three coupled differential equations.
I have previously worked with, albeit only semi-successfully, a set of two coupled differential equations, but I am unsure how to handle three. I have been considering a simple example (shown below) in order to get a better understanding of the process, but even that has been unsuccessful:
(1) dx/dt = ax + by + cz,
(2) dy/dt = dx + fy + gz,
(3) dz/dt = hx + jy + kz.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

So my landlord is kicking my family out of our apartment for no good reason. we have no security deposit. what can we do to screw these motherfuckers?

These fucking people are kicking us out and the reason (straight from their lawyer) is that the apartment we live in, that we completely remodeled under contract with the last owner, they want to move from California into this apartment. These people agreed to everything in our lease that we just signed and is good until April of 2013, then told us to gtfo. We have gone as far as talking to the District Justice in our town about this and she is saying that they have the right to do this.
So we must leave...and we are pissed. We are asking you for ideas on revenge. remember, they do NOT have a security deposit and we have access to the whole building minus the 3 other tenants apartments.

Title says it all. If you get a transplant of any kind, can you feel pain in that transplanted organ. If so, how does this happen? Do the nerves or whatever reconnect? How does the brain fix those connections? Thanks in advance.

|
I know it doesn't seem like it, but May 1st is just around the corner. You will be receiving your matchup around April 1st! Here is what you should be doing to prepare:
* If you have not signed up yet, you should do so here.
* You should be creating or updating an Amazon wish list that has ONLY DVDs/BluRays that would make you very happy to open. ***(Be a good person to get gift(s) for, have some old and new stuff; some low, medium, and high prices)***
* You should be thinking about if you are going to include something from your home area to ship with your package, and how to acquire that now. *(Ex: I am from Washington state, so I could bottle up some rain, and maybe a Space Needle pencil sharpener)*

Sith Assassin Question - lowbie (lvl 25 and up) lightning charge versus surging charge for flashpoints (bosses mostly)
|
I'm a longtime WoW player/raider that has recently started playing SWTOR. Recently while running the Mandalorian Raiders flashpoint as DPS, someone asked why I was using Lightning Charge over Surging Charge (I'm level 26 and mostly deception with a few points in darkness).
My thinking was that with the time it takes to kill bosses and the movement involved (IE chasing adds, getting knocked back, etc...), having the DOT constantly ticking would be better DPS overall than using Surging Charge, especially in encounters where I don't have much DPS spamming time on the boss.
I used google and couldn't find much about the theorycraft on one or the other. Which charge would you recommend for general flashpoints in the 20-30s levels?

UCSD Vs UT Austin. I respect both schools and can't decide which one to choose.
|
I am a grad student at Purdue and I have really good offers from UCSD and UT Austin for my PhD in Nanomaterials. The prof's who have offered me positions at these schools have great research profile and personalities. Both of them do amazing work (Science or Nature paper quality).
I respect both schools and have a tough time deciding where I should go.
I know UCSD offers proximity to CA and other schools here but it is expensive. At the same time, UT Austin is a great place, relaxed and have connections to Tech companies in Austin.
I would love to hear from you guys. What would you do if you were in my position. (I am an International student).
Thanks guys

Everyone has an opinion on why r/cars sucks, but is there any consistency in what you wish it was like? Perhaps we need a new subreddit.
|
It is flawed to think that you can change or enforce behavior on a subreddit that has grown to the proportions of r/cars. It has become the r/funny of reddit's automotive pages, and while that angers members who want more mature/meaningful content, it does serve a purpose to the masses of hobbyists that want to share their "bitching murdered out civic" or picture of the neighbors amazing corvette C5.
So rather than fight a losing battle trying to regulate content that a minority of us would rather not see, lets try to work on what an ideal subreddit would consist of.
If there is sufficient suppport and consistency in what people want to see, then a new, more focused subreddit should be successful.
If however there is not enough consistency in vision or support, then we must all accept that we are a fragmented minority that should just avoid r/cars or stop complaining about what we don't like on it.
So, what would your ideal automotive subreddit look like?

Best way to encourage lush flowering?
|
After heavy pruning, a lot of my plants are just starting to flower and I want to encourage them to have as much floral growth as possible for a beautiful display.
Mostly my flowering plants are Bougainvilleas, Geraniums, Marigolds and Petunias, with some herbs starting to flower as well.
So what is the best way to encourage them at this point? Should I fertilise them often? How often? Is liquid fertiliser best at this point? Would pruning back early flower growth encourage it to flower more?
Help me out!

Supplements to REDUCE the effect of caffeine?
|
I love coffee, and I'd love to drink more of it. The problem is thus - I'm ridiculously sensitive to caffeine.
We've had discussions here about prolonging the effects of caffeine, but does anyone know ways to blunt them (short of the old "uppers and downers, a balanced diet" joke)?
Certainly, taking magnesium supplements helps with coffee's tendancy to flush Mg out of your body, and drinking lots of water's a good idea, but beyond that?

Two Person Tent Suggestions for a Thru-Hike

My wife (5'3" 120lbs) and I (5'10" 150lbs) are set on doing a NoBo thru-hike next year. We are looking at different tent options and seeking your opinion. I've read a lot of thru-hinking tent info, but haven't found much on two person set ups.
seem like a wonderful option because of the weight. I had no idea they existed until a comment here on r/AT enlightened me. Their Double Rainbow design stands out (41 oz, $275), but I don't know their product line nor east coast anything.
Please voice your opinion on Tarptents and share other thru-hike worthy options.
PS. I am fully in support of the idea to 'rock what you've already got' but our tent recently broke in the Patagonia winds.

My son claims I don't have the Holy Spirit
|
For about a month my son has been going to a Wednesday night youth service with his friend at a place called New Covenant Full Gospel Church of the Messiah. I haven't been able to see their statement of faith because they don't have a website yet, but my son said to, "Trust me, It's legit." He seems to have a really great time there and the other night he came home and told me he spoke in tongues at the service. I congratulated him and asked him what languages he spoke and he said he didn't know. I asked him what he said and he said he didn't know either.
After taking offense to my questions he looked at me sharply and said, "Dad, I'm not seeing the fruit of the Holy Ghost in you life. I don't believe you have his baptism...would you like me to teach you how to get him?"
I was appalled and confused.
He stared at me further, "Do you have the baptism of the Holy Ghost as evidenced by the speaking of tongues."
I stared quietly unable to know what to say.
Then my son started praying in tongues over me screaming at me. I said nothing. He started crying and ran to his room.
The next morning I came to him and told him I did not want him going back to that church until his friend brought me a copy of their church bylaws, doctrines and constitution. He was furious and hasn't talked to me (in English) since. Tomorrow is his youth group and I still haven't received the documents I requested.
What should I do? I'm so confused by all this.

[Hiring] Need to subcontract a Wordpress news site. Customer wants wordpress, considering trying to use Django instead.

Looking for someone with experience with Wordpress and/or Django to help fulfill a previous customer of mine's request for a quick project. I don't have time to develop the thing right now, so I'll need someone who's willing to take on the entire project. Looking for someone who can churn out some code in as little as a few days.
Send me a resume or relevant proof of experience. We can negotiate, and if it would be better for you to take over the job entirely we can do that, but I'll probably want to negotiate for a finder's fee.
Otherwise, I'll describe the project and you write me a quote! It should be a simple news site with a few flashy jQuery features (ticker, slideshow) and social integration.
Contact me either on reddit or at [email protected] if you're interested.

Is There Any Deal? How to find best prices for games and get notified via email
|
Hey Patient Gamers!
I was allowed to show you my site IsThereAnyDeal which I think you will find useful.
Basically it's a price comparision website focused on current deals. You can easily filter games, search and so on but what the main feature really is is a Waitlist. It's a list of games you want to buy at some point in the future.
For every item in the Waitlist you can set various rules if you want to be notified via email. For example, you want to receive notification when there is a sale on Steam and current price is lower than 5. No problem. And you can set more rules for one game!
Today I have added Collection and Ignore list, so you can hide deals for games you already own.
If you have any question, feature request or something else, let me know :)

Purchased tickets on June 26th (8 days ago), and etix.com still has not taken my money. Anyone else?
|
I purchased two tickets on June 26th. I immediately received my tickets in my email and have them saved as a PDF. Initially the charge was listed in my bank account as "pending" - a $90 charge to Louis CK New York (or something like that).
I watch my account pretty closely, so a few days later when the charge was no longer pending, I looked for it in the transaction history. Oddly it was not there.
I waited a couple more days, then I called etix customer service. Of course it would be nice to get free tickets, but I don't want to get to the show and find out my tickets aren't valid because of some problem with the transaction - and I definitely don't want to rip Louis off by not paying him. Customer service acted like I was kinda weird and crazy for calling. They checked my order number and said everything is good.
Then I called my bank. They confirmed that the transaction dropped off the pending list (standard policy after 3 days) but etix still has claim to the money apparently indefinitely. They could come back and take the money any time, but they haven't yet. Anyone else experiencing this?

The phrase "the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate" seems pretty commonplace. Is this synonomous with the phrase "the universe is expanding at an increasing rate"? It seems that these statements are implying non-zero third and second derivatives respectively, when the intended meaning is a non-zero second derivative.

Creationists explaining camouflage in Animals.
|
So I was looking for any info I could find about what we know concerning the genetics/evolution of animals that camouflage with their background. I came across this jewel of an article by Creationists:
Just thought I would share.
Here is the TLDR of the article, summed up by itself in the last 2 paragraphs:
"Evolution is built upon random chance processes, yet they want you to believe that camouflage traits are purposely acquired by some type of directed selection process. Trying to define camouflage with evolution defies all logic as well as the very principles of evolution.
Camouflage is best explained by biblical creation. An infinitely wise Creator built these special features into the genetics of these animals when He first created them. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (Rev. 4:11)"

I think there's someone in my house
|
For the past three weeks, events have been happening in my house that have progressively convinced me more and more that someone is living in my house. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but better safe than sorry.
I'm a 26 year old who lives alone. My parents live two states away and the rest of my family lives in Europe. No girlfriend. Two dogs. I have one pet fish named Luther. These pets are all I have living with me atm. Almost every night, I'm awoken at some ungodly hour by a creaking of a door downstairs. The first day it happened, I took a baseball bat and investigated downstairs. All of the doors were closed, and there was nothing different or out of place, so I figured it was just me imagining things and I went back to bed. It kept happening every day, so I did the usual set-up-a-camera-overnight. I heard the familiar door creaking, but I went back to sleep because the camera would capture anything I needed to see. In the morning, I looked at the camera, but the video wasn't there. Then I realized I hadn't put any tape in. Fuck me, right? So I tried again that night with a tape this time, and went to bed. That night was different though. The normal door creaking came, but I also thought I heard whispering. This scared the living shit out of me, so I had my phone in my hand, ready to dial 9-1-1 if necessary. I couldn't discern what was being said, and after 5 minutes the whispering stopped. Eventually I fell back asleep. The next day, I looked at the tape. Nothing. NOTHING! I was 99% certain I had heard a door creaking and whispering. This is the part that keeps tripping me up. I was almost sure I had heard those two things, and yet the video recorded didn't show anything. This can't just be me being paranoid; if you had heard what I heard, you'd know.
Anyway, two days ago was the final straw. I heard the door creaking and the whispering, but this time I could slightly make out the whispering. It was an unnaturally deep and gruff voice, and it kept whispering, "harder...harder, dad!!" I broke out into a scared sweat, and I cant stand this anymore.
Reddit, what should I do? Any tips on ways to see if someone really is there? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Weightloss in the workplace. Should I go for a call center or standing in retail?
|
I've been going back and forth on this for the last month. I have to lose almost 300 lbs and I started a month ago and can't decide what types of jobs to continue to apply to.
Obviously most people will say you should get a job where you walk or stand 100% of the time to burn extra calories. But I wanted to ask people who understand my situation.. If I stand for more than 10 minutes my entire body slowly becomes an entire sweaty pool.
So what do you reccomend? Soul crushing job that I don't sweat/smell/worry about my weight?
Or a retail job that will force me to walk more but I'll have to combat my nearly 500 lb size?

Logitech G13 users, I need your input

I'll delete this if it's in the wrong subreddit, but I figured I was at least close.
I just picked up a G13 to replace my Razer Nostromo. The Razer still works fine, but I wanted to give the G13 a try. While testing it out with TF2, my WASD assigned keys on it seem to stop responding intermittently. I've reinstalled the drivers/software [Win7x64] and restarted my machine a few times, but this doesn't seem like the appropriate behavior. I tried assigning WASD to different keys on the G13, but yielded the same results. I wouldn't mind so much if, y'know, it didn't result in my virtual death all the time.
Any G13 users have a suggestion? Is it a simple tweak, or do I send it back?

Curiousity: For those stockpiling grains and legumes, do you have mold humidity issues in your home?
|
I can't eat most grains and don't eat legumes much, but they used to be a large part of my diet. At least two meals a day used to come from dried legumes or grains. I usually had mold issues in my house, but haven't had issues after. In hindsight, I realize all the steam permeated everything and maintained high humidity in the house.
Question 1: Do you have mold issues or has the humidity issue been a consideration?
Question 2: Do you have a plan for getting the amount of water and fuel necessary to make the food edible?
Question 3: Do you also stockpile salt? Salt is necessary for healthy brain and nerve function, and is depleted by legumes and any other diuretics.
My food goals are different, so am just asking out of curiosity.
edit: I think I should have stated the first question better. I meant do you have mold issues with the moisture from the steam? I live in a place that is humid year round.

The easiest would probably be a room in a student/shared flat, but how would I go about finding one?
I don't know any Hungarian, so how wide-spread are English and German in the younger/older generations?
How high is the cost of living in Budapest? I'm living in eastern Germany at the moment where it is fairly cheap and I assume that Budapest, being the capital and all, will probably be one of the most expensive cities in Hungary - or am I wrong here?
And lastly, do you have any tips or things I definitely have to do while I'm there? I was already once in Budapest when I was around 12 and don't remember much, except that I loved it and found the city to be absolutely beautiful.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Help please - my netbook POOFED UP (literally!)... solutions or unrecoverable? [pics]
|
#FjDLQ
Hi, this is a ASUS EeePC 1008HA netbook, bought 1 year & 9 months ago.
I've been using a newer laptop for a couple of months, so this netbook was in storage in a netbook soft cover case under my bed. During spring clean recently, I dug it out seeing this outrageous state.
As you can see from the pics (most clearly in the 3rd pic), the black area is completely poofed up and forced open under the keyboard, exposing the parts.
I'm not really concerned about the contents on the hard drive, I just want to have an explanation of what happened exactly. The netbook won't start if it's not plugged in (the battery is too old... but I don't think it's related to this current issue).
Is it recoverable in any way? Costs etc?
Thanks!
/edit:
>Thanks all for the insightful replies! I just went to my local ewaste recycling centre to dispose of this netbook today. I'll mark this thread as "solved" when I get home to a proper computer later.

Should I buy this well-maintained 2007 Volvo S60?
|
I'm interested in buying a used Volvo (there are two in the family so I know they require more maintenance). A local Volvo dealer just got a white 2007 S60 2.5T in stock. What do you think of the car?
Although it has 90,000 miles, it's been very well maintained. The dealer originally sold the car to the first owner and has performed all maintenance since. Most recently at 80,000 miles, the following maintenance was done: Electrical system serviced, Fuel system serviced, Fuel filter replaced. Before that recommended maintenance and checks were done every 10,000 miles. The front brake pads were replaced at 70,000 miles.
I plan to negotiate, but to me this seems like a solid car at a good price. I have a few questions before I take a test drive:
1. What problems / maintenance should I expect for the next 30,000 miles?
2. Is this a good buy as far as Volvos go?
3. Anything else I should know or consider?

<h1> tags and CSS hidden and absolute positioning off-page
|
One of the more grey-hat things I've seen done is using CSS to manipulate a keyword-dense h1 heading. Things like display:hidden to simply not show it at all, and absolute positioning to move it off the field of view, while not adding scroll bars to go left/right. What are your thoughts on this? I had read that crawlers (today's crawlers, anyways) look at your site in pure html and don't load up the associating styles. Is this really the case? Does it really help SEO?
