17/M/Nebraska/Straight Looking for a lady to PM, and eventually text :)
|
So, I just realized that in my original post, the title said 15, and I'm 17, lol. Dunno if I spaced or it was a typo, but here's the same post with a different title:
Kind of bored, and I'd like someone to talk to -- preferably a girl because, well, I need to do that a little more :P I'd be interested in something a little flirty (maybe we could meet up if you're in the area, though I'm not sure how widespread Reddit is in Nebraska), if you wanna get involved like that, but defintely not a prerequisite, lol. A little about me, I'm a bit of an SAP, so we might have to work past that, lol! I freaking *love* Pokémon, video games in general, and the Killers are my favorite band. Not very athletic, not gonna lie -- not to say I'm fat though, I'm actually quite handsome, if I do say so myself. My only extracurricular activity is really work -- a lot of work. I'd eventually wanna know what you look like, and I'll show you myself, of course, lol. I'll try to wrap this up, haha: I'm a bit of a deep, philosophical kind of person; I'm an atheist (ex-Christian) and kind of like to debate religion as long as you don't try to convert me; I like exploring the human psyche; and I'm a decent rhetor even though I haven't written anything in a while :/ Hit me up by PM if you wanna chat, I'd love to text, but any other medium is fine as well.
EDIT: Couple more things, lol. I'm a wee bit of an introvert, and my parents are divorced. I know it's always nice to meet someone who relates :)

Will losing weight/looking better help a DB?
|
Deep in DB, our last session was early Feb - before that it was perhaps a full year or six months. I weigh about 15 lbs more than when we met. 33F.
His tastes has changed. He never was into Asian women before but he mentions that's where his preferences lie now. Often these days. They are also everywhere here so lots of ete candy for him :) I don't have a typical Asian body i.e. 5' and 99lbs. Taller, busty and curvy instead. Athletic but pudgier than i should be of course.
Could it really be the weight that puts him off from me? A mere 15 lbs from when we met but still a considerable more than the average here?
I do not feel sexy with these extra pounds as i did before. I dress well, never head out of the house without makeup and i am usually more overdressed than underdressed. But ... i am insecure about how i look. I don't wear overtly sexy things. I don't dress up in full lingerie (corset, stockings), even though my nightwear does classify as that - silky chemises and slips, no panties (and no he never jumps me despite easy access). He compliments me on my looks daily, is very affectionate ... just no sexing.
He's much more overweight and never works out. The excess weight on myself is partly due to his habits - fast food, snacks - that i have started once we got married. I used to be an athlete :( I am working on losing it but not as hard as i should perhaps. Could it really be the weight and his change in preference? Do i have to drop down to 110lbs for him to finally want to touch me all good and proper?
On one hand it wouldn't be such a big deal to lose the weight - simple solution to fix a DB. At least there would be no more questioning of my desirability. On the other it is a tad disheartening if his prefs have changed that much as i cannot change my body that much.
Has anyone gone through this before?
Edit - nothing wrong with me though i am still going to shape up and get real hot. my husband is just lazy :( he rather spend 1-2 min masturbating - or i get him off - than spend time on sex with me. No need to worry about getting me off or the guilt of it. Or worry about losing his erection. Took me so long to figure out. So simple. Laziness.

Why is vol.4 of Punisher Max so expensive?
|
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I figured that if any subreddit would know, it would be you guys.
I have the hardcover editions of vol. 2,3 and 5 and was looking to order 1,4 and 6. Why is it that vol. 4 is hundreds of dollars compared to the others at 20-40 dollars?
Example:
-Vol. 4
-Vol. 1
I've already read the entire series and it very quickly became my favorite and I would really love to own all the hardcover books, but yikes, but the price on vol. 4 has me seriously bummed.

AMA Request: Anyone who has a published work being sold on Amazon

If you had the chance, would you rather your work not be sold on Amazon?
What other publishers, if any, have you gone through to get work published, and how does that process differ from getting your work Amazon?
I've heard Amazon is rather unfair to authors; is this true, and if so, how?
How do you feel about Amazon's non-disclosure policy? (if you're able to talk about it, LOL)
How many copies have you sold through Amazon; do you feel many of these copies would have gone unsold if you did not sell through Amazon?

Just finished building a rig. Getting "disk boot failure" after popping windows7 into my optical.
|
PLEASE HELP! I just finished building my first rig yesterday, and was stoked when it turned on with no issues. However, today when I went to install windows 7, I keep getting "disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter." I went into BIOS and made sure the system was booting off the optical and not the HDD, so I don't think it's that. I also tried a few different SATA ports on my mobo, so I don't think it's that either (it seems my mobo recognizes my HDD no problem as well). Also, I tried putting the windows install disc in my macbook to see if it reads, and it looks like it does. I'm wondering if I just have a faulty drive? I'm really not sure what else it could be. The drive is a Lite-On SATA model iHAS124-04, and my mobo a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3. I would really appreciate any and all help. Thanks so much!!
EDIT: I'm pretty sure my drive works fine now. I'm now inclined to believe it has something to do with the software being OEM. I'm not entirely sure what OPK is and how to use it, but could it maybe help resolve my issue? thanks again!

If you could live in a giant mansion for free for the rest of your life, but it was haunted by a ghost/poltergeist. Would you do it?
|
The ghost obviously can not kill you, it can only slightly hurt you physically, like no broken bones, just bruises and maybe some cuts. You don't know at first there is a ghost, but you learn it will not hurt you once discovered. The house is all yours if you decide to stay. What would you do?
edit: it is not a friendly ghost, it would do all kinds of stuff to get in your head, and make you go crazy.

Coming out to a collegiate sports team.
|
Hello everyone. I'm in the interesting situation of being closeted and on a collegiate swim team. I would like to come out and start dating, but the last thing I would want to happen is have my teammates find out from just the rumor mill. I care about these guys to the point they are like family, and I would never want anyone to hear from anyone but me.
But that brings up the issue of how to actually tell them. There are over thirty guys that I would need to come out to, and that is just unfeasible. It almost seems like an impossible feat.
Back in high school I was on a club team and in a similar situation and handled it much less tactfully. I told a couple of people and it spread almost instantly, effectively outing me easily, but in the exact way I didn't want it to happen. I was lucky in that it was still a smooth process, but I am not sure how lucky I can be again.
So my question to you, bros, is how many people here have been on a collegiate, club, or high school team where you have had or wanted to come out? And how did you go about it? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I think I have come to a decision in that I will tell everyone straight up in the locker room after practice a couple of weeks after the start of the next season. This won't be until after the summer is over because I inadvertently stalled too long and I will be leaving for home in about a week and won't see the team for a few months.
Thanks for all the advice, bros.

What Anarchist-based social programs is operating in your community?
|
I ask this in the wake of lots of violent interventions with the police, violent rhetoric against the police. As if that's all Anarchy is. Just hate, wearing all trendy black, and everyone standing up to be a warrior for the cause rather than someone that can truely contribute to their community with the "actual anarchist principals" laid out by Godwin, Bakunin, Proudhon, etc.
I'm sure everyone aside from the trendy youthful crowd,has an impossible time justifying these fights to the ordinary man, when the Anarchist community doesn't have anything remotely competitive to what the working classman has in the 21st century.
I will say, however, that Anarchists have manifested some fantastic social programs that absolutely push State-sponsored programs to obsoletion. Such as free libraries, volunteer healthcare, police/community watch, free food, the 8 hour workday, you name it.
When these programs become so expansive, so well syndicated, in a manner that is far more sophisticated, and more progressive than what the working classman has access to, it's only then that we will have others join our flanks. And I would hope not in marches against the police ( as if you will ever accomplish anything by doing that ), but in getting their hands dirty and enabling these social programs to be greater. It's only natural for humankind to choose the better alternative. And right now, anarchists are not necessarily known to the status quo for offering a better life. Especially when folks are marching on the police and getting caught with dynamite, or committing property damage.
So before you instigate violence, ask yourself -- what social programs do you offer to your community?

Are my vaginal juices drying out my boyfriend's penis?
|
Here's the deal. Long term relationship, about 8 or 9 months now (neither of us keep track), he's 27 M, I'm 21 F. Great relationship all around.
We've noticed that if we have sex frequently (say... 4+ times a week) which is fairly normal for us, his penis will dry out. Like, so dry it flakes, and sometimes cracks painfully for him. His scrotum will get the same way too, but not as bad. Sometimes, it's so bad that we have to abstain from sex. I usually try to put lotion on his junk, or neosporin if it's really bad, and that does the trick most times.
He says that he's never had this problem before, and he has no idea why it's occuring now. He is circumcised, but has had plenty of partners before me, so he's no stranger to how his penis works. Although, he has never had sex as frequently as he had with me. Most of his sex consisted of one-night stands, casual week-long flings, casual dating for a month, or the several-month relationships where sex is infrequent.
On the other hand, I recall an ex-boyfriend of mine telling me that sometimes "my penis sort of stings when I'm inside you. Not that bad, but I can notice it." He was also a long term relationship, but I neither of us ever noticed any "drying out" of his penis. He was uncircumcised, so I'm not sure if that plays a role. I asked my gynecologist about this, and she said "your vagina probably just has a high pH." I have a copper IUD, so I'm not sure if this would contribute to the problem, if at all.
Neither of us have noticed a weird taste, but all vaginas taste different, so how are you really going to know? I don't have any STDs that could cause this, and I'm pretty sure if I went to the small-town clinic they have around here, I'd get laughed out.
Anyways, does anyone else have any experience with this problem?
tl;dr Boyfriend's junk is often dry. Not sure if it's my vagina because he's never had this problem before me. Gyno said once upon a time that I might have a high pH based off a complaint about my vaginal juices being "stinging."

Caol Ila 12, afraid it's not for me.
|
Hey Scotchit,
After drinking speysides for a while, I decided to try out an islay. Since I enjoyed drinking Balvenie DoubleWood, Glenmorange 10, Glenfiddich 15, Glenlivet 12, and Macallan 12.
After reading many reviews, I decided to go with Caol Ila 12. It's an experience, let me tell you. It smells like grassy medicine. I taste the oily smoke taste, but none of the citrus notes it's said to have. I drank it neat, with a few drops of water, and on the rocks. It's pretty bad.
I just finished my second glass of it, hoping it would grow on me. My mouth tastes like Ive been eating straw that's been sitting on the ground of a barn filled with cattle.
I have a pretty sophisticated palate, but this scotch isn't for me. Should I keep at it and hope I acquire the taste for it? Really, if someone wants to trade a bottle of this for a bottle of speyside, I'm okay with that.
EDIT: Per your guys' advice, I'll revisit it a few more times. It wasn't what I was expecting, and I think the shock of the scent and flavor clouded my judgement. Thanks for the help!
What do you guys think?

Well-read Wednesdays: underappreciated routine edition.
|
Last weeks edition resulted in some pretty interesting reads on general fitness topics. Some of them were quite a surprise. The favorites:
* Martin Berkhan's article Top Ten Fasting Myths Debunked
* The Iron, motivational by Henry Rollins
* The International Society of Sports Nutrition position on meal frequency]( and then the [rebuttal by Alan Aragon
* Lyle McDonalds Methods of endurance training
-----------------------
**This weeks topic**
Last week, a lot of posts were about nutrition and weight loss. Surprisingly few were actually about training technique, routines or alternatives to SS.
This week I ask you to deliver information on under appreciated workout routines. SS or 5/3/1 are not the only routines in the book. What else is there?
Questions you could ask yourself: is SS really suitable for all kinds of beginners? What routines do you see as a great alternative? Is 3*5 reps really the way to go? Do you have a hatred for the low bar squat? Let it be known!
I am looking forwards to the results.
-----------------
**Guidelines**
* Welcome materials: external sources like articles and books, but also videos or blog posts.
* The subject is just a general direction. You can also bring in other interesting reads if you like.
* Try to give a tl;dr of the article that you found.
* You can send in an article to share, but also ask for the validity of an article you're unsure about. Make this clear in your post.
* Please respect each-others opinion. They will differ. Try to be a scholar and a gentleman/women.

Blizzard should do a promo weekend to celebrate the new patch
|
So the idea is, to celebrate/win back players with the launch of 1.0.4, we could get a weekend of extra fun.
This could come in the form of (just some examples):
Valor stacks 2 higher than normal (up to 7)
Base MF increased for everyone
GF increased
Remove 15% tax on AH sales
Of course, these changes would be for one weekend only. A bit like what eBay does once in a while.
Thoughts?

Poison Resistance (I, II, III) Enchantment for Armor
|
We really need an armor enchantment for Poison Resistance. Right now, all we have to combat poison is milk, and that's only good for one use. If you're being swarmed by spiders, it's a wasted effort.
The enchantment wouldn't completely negate the poison's effects, of course, but it would slow the rate at which damage occurs while poisoned. Each level would have a slightly longer interval between damage received, and a high level enchant might have a small chance to block a poison attack.

[Build Help] What the hell happened to the price of the MSI 6950 Twin FROZR III cards??
|
I'm looking to update my system with a Xfire setup. Already having one MSI twin frozr III 2gb card, I thought it might be nice to have another one of those to go along with it. For some reason the price seems to have appreciated a couple hundred dollars since I purchased the first one. Even the used cards are close to double what I payed for the first one! Does anyone know why this happened?
Here it is for $564.00 at NCIX(literally could buy 2 7850's for less)
Amazon has 1 new($475.00) and 1 used ($500.00)
I know that I can just get any 6950 to do xfire with, but I like the idea of having a matched set of cards. Hell, if they are going for $500 i might as well sell it and buy 2 7950's.

SOPA style blacklisting. Is it a two way street?

I had a thought about all this SOPA blacklisting of websites and how it removes due process etc... So, my question is how does the process actually work? If ABC decides Facebook is in violation of copyright law because its a medium for a video someone made of their cat chasing its tail with a song from Aladdin in the background. They decide to engage the mechanism and blacklist Facebook.com. How do they go about this? Is it a process anyone can initiate? If so, whats to stop us from using this same weapon against them? If we as a collection of individuals decide to comb over their websites im sure we could locate all manner of these sort of violations. If they dont exist, well, we could put them there fairly easily. Could we then not turn this monster against its creators and keep them off-line indefinitely? Again, forgive my ignorance but it seems all too easy...

Looking for 40$ cash + shipping. About a month ago I purchased the Antec Kuhler h20 620 for my rig and I fucking LOVE it. But it doesn't fit in my case...I had to screw it in off set with two screws into on of my top exhaust spaces (The Thermaltake MSi is a REALLY tiny case to work in -___-). Basically I'm planning on just moving on and trying my first custom loop so I can just mount the radiator on the outside of my case. Instead of cutting my loses I'd figure I'd help out a redditor in need. It runs beautifully. No grinding issues or anything. Keeps my OC fx4100 @ 4.4Ghz at a chilly 45C when playing Skyrim and 20C idle. I'll send you all the receipts. I do not have the original box (otherwise I would've just returned it to the hell hole that is Best Buy) but I do have all the mounting screws, plates, manuals, and even little plastic baggies for you to sell weed in.

Subaru Legacy turbo idle problems all of a sudden
|
My 2003 Subaru B4 Legacy started running rough all of a sudden.
It was fine this morning and hasnt given me any problems so far. I took it for a drive and now as it idles it cuts off sometimes and if it doesnt cut off it drops to like 200rpm and kicks back up. The whole car shakes during idle now.
I just cleaned the air filter and 02 sensor.
The only thing i can think of recently that has changed is the terrain that i drive the car on.
Last two days i had to drive down to the farm which has really rough road and shook the shit out of the car other than that nothing has changed.
Its the turbo 2.0 sedan model.
Could it be that a vacuum line leaks?
I had a wrx with a similar problem with idle before and it turned out to be a vacuum leak in the turbo.

Title says it all. I was wondering what your favorite game or series is and why. I know this seems to be /r/gaming- esque but personally I like the community on askreddit much more.
Mine has got to be Legend Of Zelda. Nothing comes close to it in my opinion. The entire series is incredible, from the music to the puzzles and gameplay. I love Ocarina of Time (wow, what a surprise).
So, I'm basically curious to see which is more popular. Zelda or Halo (I'm assuming Zelda and Halo for the top two obviously). But that's my opinion. I want to hear yours.

Nvidia video driver crashes repeatedly on desktop
|
I have a MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk (factory OC 950mhz) GPU that has a habit of crashing the video driver while doing nothing on desktop. I'll get the flash to black, and it'll recover, I'll see this error:
there's this in the system log:
But that's it. The card is at perfectly fine temperatures, I've tried many driver versions. Currently running the latest ones now, which I installed after a full clean out of left over Nvidia files to start fresh. I don't understand how this keeps occurring.
In-game, the card is pretty much always fine. I get driver crashes while gaming only in Civilization V, which itself is a buggy game. I ran Furmark for a while on it and it was fine, temperatures didn't go anywhere ridiculous.
What's going on here? This seems bizarre. It's rather annoying too. Oddly, I've been getting full system freezes lately (usually shortly after boot and if I'm doing nothing on the desktop). There will be nothing in the error log beyond an acknowledgement of 'no shutdown' when it turns back on. Not sure if this is related.

So, unable to go to sleep last night I tuned into PBS and Rick Steve's Europe and he briefly touched upon the Battle of Hastings and talked about how "Many historians believe the battle was won due to William's use of stirrups."
I found this somewhat interesting, as I've only begun really delving into history and a few questions popped up.
1. How could stirrups make a significant difference in the outcome? I imagine it's because riders were able to stand up/contort their bodies in ways that would allow more force to be used when using a sword on a horse.
2. What were some other major factors in the outcome of the battle?
3. Finally, any good resources for checking out more about the battle? Whether it be tactics, effects, stories, or anything else, really, it'd be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time in advance!

When you burn a log, it drops charcoal.
|
Basically, if you decide to take a flint and steel to a tree, the logs drop charcoal when they finish burning. This would be efficient, and make a lot of sense.

TIL - "Lyceum" (another word for a secondary school) means "wolf slayer."
|
If you're in school, or planning on returning to study, I hope this speaks to you.
The definition of 'lyceum' is derived from an epithet (another name) for the god Apollo, and can have the definition of 'wolf slayer.'
This got me thinking - if we are wolves, and if an institution of learning has as a translation 'wolf slayer,' what does that say about the wolves here who are attending school?
It says that it will try and turn a wolf into a sheep. It will slay the inner wolf that wants more out of life, and just settles for 'enough.'
It slays wolves, and tries to turn them into mindless sheep.
But not you. You are a wolf, always have been a wolf. Maybe you put on sheep's clothing, and maybe you've been brainwashed to think that you're a sheep, but that doesn't change who you are inside. Nobody can take the wolf inside of you away.
Now take off that sheep's skin and get to work. You deserve it.

Flat shoes for a night out
|
So I really suck at walking in heels and they kill my feet and to be honest I'd rather just avoid them, but I have no idea what type of flats would work best with a dress/skirt on a night out. I just need a few suggestions of flat/low heeled shoes that will go with a variety of dress styles. Thank you! (:
Edit: I'm comfortable wearing low heels up to about 2 and a half/ 3 inches maximum. (:

new idea to release support players from gp10 items in the "0 CS" meta-game
|
one of my ideas to change something in the current "0 CS support-meta-game" would be to add something like this to the mastery-tree:
"*earn 30% (i changed it from the originally 10%) of the gold one nearby allied champion gains by killing minions. this effect gets disabled when there are more allies close to you*"
this could be placed somewhere kinda deep in the utility tree. and one further idea about it is, that it should disable the gold-effect from gp10-items, so it doesn't make sense to use this skill together with stacking gp10 items.
it would be only viable for supports, cause in the current meta-game they are the only ones duo-laning with their ad-carries. and if you are with more than one teammate, the effect would be disabled - so you won't earn passive minion-kill gold when you as support are with 2-4 teammates pushing a single lane.
this would prevent this effect to be overpowered, imo.
the idea behind this mastery-point(s) is, that it should reward support-players for sticking to the champions they actually support. and the supports should not be forced to buy gp10 items anymore - they could build other supportive/tanky items to support their team (like rushing aegis, soul shroud, zeke's herald, will of the ancients, frozen heart and so on).
**some maths according to this idea with 3 gp10 items** (added later to this post):
let's say you buy the first gp10 item at 10 minutes, the 2nd at 15, the 3rd at 20. gives you 600 + 450 + 300 = 1350 gold after 30 minutes. if your ad carry kills 200 minions in that time, 20g average per minion, he will earn 4000 gold from minion kills, and 30% of that would be 1200 gold for you - so quite the same amount.
what do you think about it?

I'm too ashamed to talk to my friends about my suicidal thoughts
|
I've been having suicidal thoughts for about a year now, I attempted suicide a few times early this year, but haven't for quite a while now. I talked to my friends about it and they were very supportive, but I went through a good period around June, and now they all think I'm absolutely fine.
But I'm not and recently I've been feeling as suicidal as ever, every obstacle I encounter my mind instantly goes to suicide as a solution, and I've begun to start considering ways to kill myself again.
But I feel like I can't tell them, because they're under the impression I'm okay, when I'm really not, and I feel like telling them I'm not okay again will be like me letting them down. I have 3 best friends I can talk to about this, but 2 of them just get incredibly freaked out and upset when I do, and the last one is the one I'm most terrified of disappointing.
Also, I know they'll just tell me to go see the doctor, and eventually they'll convince me to do it, but that would be a terrible, terrible idea. I hate the doctor, absolutely hate the doctor, I think they're liars and I don't trust them. If I went to them I'd bring my friend along, who would convince me to tell them everything, at which point they would most likely declare me a "danger to myself" if I ever tried to stop going to the doctor and detain me (they've threatened to section me before, so I know they would do this).
Also also, I'm not convinced anymore that I want them to talk me down from suicide. I've started thinking that suicide really would stop my suffering, and that my friends talking me down would just prolong my pain. I realised the other day that if I could do anything I'd want to commit simultaneous suicide with those 3 friends, so we can die together. Of course I'd never tell them that, I'm pretty sure they all think I'm unstable to the point of being dangerous and I don't need them thinking I'm gonna start picking them off or something.
I'm not even sure why I'm suicidal, I'm just miserable and life seems pointless. I'm not sure what I'm posting on here for either, since I can't talk to my friends or the doctors and what else are you going to suggest I do?

(Spoiler ALL) Theories of Character Births
|
I have purposefully stayed away from this thread to avoid spoilers, but now since I have finished all the current books in the series I have come across several ideas about births. Please let me know your theories and the something in the literature to support it.
1) Some believe that Aegon is a Blackfyre? What impact would this have on future storylines....
2) That Jon Snow is the son of Rhaegar Targareyn (or Azor Ahai? for that matter)
The latter is more particularly interesting into me. Book 5 reveals more about how Ned escaped the sisters and gives brief mentions to someone he may have loved (other than Cat). Also book 5 mentions Ser Baristans role and how he could have declared "the queen of beauty". Both of these kind of go against some theories from the previous books (Ex. Ned is not Jon's father, and his mother is not the woman who jumped out of the tower... her name escapes me at the moment). Furthermore, my friend (very asshole-ishly) told me BEFORE i read book five that he believed that Jon was the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna and that Neds promise to Lyanna was to keep Jon safe....
sorry theres alot of questions in there and some of the ideas/data might be a little off... I'm at work right now and don't have the books to reference.
Appreciate any ideas!!!

Are any styles of Jiu Jitsu "better"?
|
Alright, I know that's a loaded question. But I'm new, and I want to learn.
I love watching Jiu Jitsu, and I'm looking for a gym, but I don't want to get burned by going to a gym which isn't going to deliver a good education.
I know every style has its strengths and weaknesses, some styles are adapted for sport, some for self-defence...but with so many styles out there are there any styles which are better than others?
Or, perhaps a better question, are there some to avoid?

Tier 1 - Operation Jawbreaker Milsim film and article
|
Operation Jawbreaker was a 24hour Milsim event held in Copehill Down FIBUA site, near Stonehenge in England, by Tier 1 Military Simulations.
LINK to You Tube Film:
The article is 4000 words long and wont all post here, so this is an extract:
"I stood looking out of the café window at the sun soaked street outside. People dressed in dishdashas and pakols were setting up shops in the buildings opposite. Quite a funky bhangra beat was coming out of the speakers in the next window along and the men were all slightly bobbing in time as they worked.
Behind me, sat at a rickety table strewn with maps and plans, were the organisers from Tier 1′s Operation Jawbreaker game.
I considered the question I had just been asked,
“Well what do you think is the safe distance for a car bomb? 30 meters?”
Before I could answer a man entered the room with a tray of Afghan coffees arrayed in small cups and saucers. He piled in some sugar, enough for a large mug, and handed me one. I sipped it while looking out the window.
“I don’t know,” I said to Pyro technician, “we want to catch as many people in the blast as possible, but we don’t want to take out the entire street or they won’t be able to practice a CASEVAC (casualty evacuation) drill.”
Ed, Tier 1 Actual, turned to one of the others in the room, “You’re currently serving in the forces,” he said to him, “what’s the real drill out there these days?”
“It’ all 10 dollar Taliban, these days,” he said and he began to explain to us what that meant.
That’s the level of detail we go to here, I thought to myself as I looked around the room at those listening to him speak. Firstly we had the ex-commando with 8 years service then next to him was the professional roleplayer, who didn’t come out of character all weekend, then 3 airsofters with over 10 years experience each, next was the Pyro Tech and finally me; the head marshal.
We continued listening to Ed’s plans for chaos and I ordered another coffee.
I have played many and been to many events where the organisers said they had reached the perfect balance point between real military exercises and a simple skirmish. I realise now that they either made the game too boring or little more than a skirmish with complex medic rules; milsim for the Xbox generation. In Operation Jawbreaker, Tier 1 also strived for that perfect balance themselves and in the most important respects I think that they came damn close to achieving it."

A reminder about why to run
|
This list reminds me of why I should run everyday. Do you guys have a list? Everyone's list is probably different.
- Enjoy it
- Don’t just try to run well - eat well, sleep well, and think well too
- There is no such thing as a deadline, it's just something to enjoy
- When a run seems like the worst thing in the world, go for one
- Prioritize runs as an important part of the day
- It undepresses you
- Be patient
- Missing a run is not a failure, but beating yourself up over it is
- Remember why running became so important in the first place
- Run for yourself and no one else

Cool Hobbies/Rec Classes to be involved in?
|
I'm wondering what some cool recreational classes or hobbies I should consider exploring as a college student. I understand "doing what you like/interested in" is important, but I also wanna hear some suggestions for hobbies that have given you positive reactions when you mention said hobbies to women.
I go to school in Arizona (usually really hot outdoors). That's a factor to consider, as it limits some activities.
**Current Hobbies/Activities (and advantages/effects of each):**
* samurai swordsmanship (masculine yet elegant)
* parkour (bad boy effect)
* basketball 2-3 times a week (masculine - walking back to the dorm area in my gloriuous sweat carrying a basketball)
* run my own online business (ambitious - uncommon for a 20y.o. college student)
* wrote, published and sold 1000+ copies of an ebook (shows financial independance and stability - again, uncommon for college students)
**What I'm Considering**
* guitar rec class (cute/sensitive effect - something to balance the masculine)
* cooking rec class (filled with ladies, and girls love a guy who can cook)
Keep in mind, I can also use the recreation classes as a means to meet women and expand my social circle. I hate to stereotype, but that means I probably won't be exploring something like a chess club (even though I'm decent at the game).
**So what hobbies/activities would you suggest?**
**Edit:** To clarify before any commenting begins - I'm not gonna go off mentioning that I'm involved in activities x,y, and z or that I run a business during the first time I meet a girl. I'll slip it in when the time comes. Maybe after knowing her for a week, I'll say... "yeah, I'm celebrating my online business hitting a landmark. Party at my place Friday 8pm. Be there or be square. P.S. bring friends (if applicable.. LOLjk)" and then she'll be like "lol! Okay!! omg, you run a business? You never told me that" etc. So when making suggestions about activities, know that they are for slightly longer-term interactions in which I'm gonna slip in my activities here n there.
tl;dr - suggest some activities for me to explore in college; activities that generally appeal to the ladies.

I'm becoming a lot more interested in the Eastern Front from reading the posts and comments in this subreddit. One question in my mind is whether Germany's Russian campaign was doomed before it began, or, if were planned and executed differently, Axis forces could have occupied and held enough Russian territory/cities/industrial centers to consider them defeated.

What do you guys think about the term Black Belt?
|
First a little back story of mine-Okay so I trained Shotokan Karate for 6 years now in my club and I loved it and always dreamed about being a black belt.But I guess that I am not sure anymore what good is a black belt these days anyway.Talking with some of my friends and seeing that some guys get black belts for not so good technique and Kumite I figured out that Karate is definitely not something what it used too be.
Maybe I am wrong but I am going with Mr. Miyagi's way about this one "Karate is in your heart,in your head not on your belt" (this sentence is not 100% accurate but I think you got the idea what am I trying to say).Due to some of this stuff I decided to try out little boxing so I could understand Karate better.After starting little boxing I am seeing that it doesn't matter what belt you are and the important thing is that you truly understand your MA,follow it's principles and train as hard as you can to be better every time so you could truly be called a Martial Artist.
**NOTE**:This was only my opinion about whole black belt stuff that is going on.Also the ending of High Kick Girl and Royce Gracie opened my mind about this.

Does anyone know how to select a specific merchant when adding items to your wish list?
|
I've had this scenario happen a few times: Basically, Amazon always seems to display an item with the lowest price from the list of merchants When I look at other merchant options, I'll see a Prime eligible offer for a minimal price difference. I'd gladly pay a buck or two more if it means I'll get 2-day shipping instead of ground shipping. But as far as I can tell, there is no way to select that specific merchant when adding an item to your wish list.
Hopefully it's me being stupid, not Amazon, because I really want to find a way to do this.

Borderline foods; would you or wouldn't you? I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
|
I've found a few products that I consider 'borderline' paleo. Ingredient-wise they might look paleo, or close to it, but I don't think they necessarily follow the spirit of eating more naturally. I like them on occasion but try not to fall back on them regularly. I'm curious if y'all also have your borderline foods?
Here's what I'm talking about:
* Sweet potato chips made by this company. Ingredients are just sweet potatoes, sea salt, and canola oil. Completely satisfies my occasional chip cravings.
* Honey bunny bodacious ketchup. SO happy to have a ketchup that actually TASTES like ketchup without the HFCS and I don't have to make it myself.
* Nut-free trail mixes here]( and [here. One of the mixes has a small amount of chocolate chips in it, but I actually prefer the other mix anyway. It has a nice buttery taste and keeps me out of the crackers and granola bars when I'm cooking hungry.

Steve Justa: Singles Program
|
Has anyone tried Steve Justa's singles program? I read about it in Dan John's "Easy Strength" and was intrigued (I like doing singles already) as it seems like a great way to increase/test your strength in waves without incurring a lot of neural fatigue.
I'm most interesting in gaining strength, and I would like to hear about anyone's experience with this program.
There are several variations of this method in "Easy Strength." Because of time constraints, I am most likely to use the following:
Train every other day
Starting weights are 70% of your 1RM
Bench uses 12 singles, Squat/DL use 25 singles
Increase the weight by 10lbs/wk for bench
Increase the weight by 20lbs/wk for squat/DL
A: Bench/Squat
B: Bench/Deadlift
Once a month, test your max. Reset the program with 70% of your tested max (either up or down) and rerun. This program is meant to be run intermittently. Run the first cycle until you plateau, then use 4-8week cycles as needed in between your regular routine.

The joys of warranty returns
|
Anyone that sells electronics or other consumer goods is probably familiar with the warranty write-off.
A piece of tech is returned being 'faulty' and it costs more to send it back for repair than a new unit costs. Into the warranty write-off it goes. One store I worked in had a box, but others I know of would go straight into the bin.
Said store sold a whole swag of consumer electronics, and people - not bothering to read the returns policy (return within 14 days of purchase for a full refund) - would state that an item was 'faulty' in the hopes of getting their money back. Sometimes the customer actually had a faulty item, but such miracles were saved for all-saints-day.
Some of the things I got for free at that job include:
* A top-of-the-line battery charger. One spring was broken, fixed by cramming in an eraser.
* Headphones... oh the sheer volume of headphones. You can't re-sell headphones due to health regulations.
* International radio. I took it, and after six years of faithful service it finally died. No issues that I could see.
* Lego Technix. One arse-hat returned a kit saying there were pieces missing. That was actually a fun week where we were instructed by the store manager to put it together to check if there were any missing pieces. That's right folks, I got paid to play with lego. No pieces missing, but it went into the write-off box by 'accident'
* Personal radios, walkmans (it was a while ago, MP3 players were around but not that popular yet), diskmans and voice recorders. Christmas/birthday presents SORTED.
yes I know walkman and diskman are trademarks, but you get the idea.
* A dvd player. This was when they were still relatively new, and a 'cheap' one set you back at least $80. Nothing wrong with this one at all. Just last year I gave it away.

Spouses disagreeing about guest being allowed - who wins legally

Hi there. I'm trying to nail down the rules in the following situation:
House owned by husband in a community property state (therefore, also owned by wife). Wife wants to refuse entry to a particular individual (that is, refuse to allow them to enter the home). Husband invites individual into home.
I believe that the "allower" (the husband, in this case) has the legal "right of way" in this situation, and the "refuser" is out of luck. Is this a correct understanding? Does the "refuser" (wife) have any recourse?

Chew toys that last more than 15 minutes?
|
I have a 7 month old chocolate lab (Clarence) who loves to chew. He will chew on other stuff, but he is pretty good about chewing designated chew things - and chewing really helps get some of his energy out. He gets lots of exercise and stimulation, but with such a big dog, with so much energy, it is nice to give him something to chew to prevent boredom.
The problem is that I cannot find things that last more than 15 minutes. He chews through bully sticks in 5 minutes. He will chew on bones (the clean ones from the pet store), but they don't hold his interest. I just got him the Busy Buddy toys, with the replaceable disks, and he loves them when the disk is in it - but he consumes the disks in 15 minutes, and wants another (he will bring it to me to replace the disks).
He loves his mushroom and tug-a-jug, (also from Busy Buddy) - but I don't want to just keep feeding him. He will eat anything when he is bored - tennis balls, soccer balls, tug toys, etc. I prefer that he eat actual consumables.
Any ideas?
UPDATE - well, I have tried several things. The antlers he likes, but leaves them after a few minutes. He REALLY likes the tug toy we got that is a West Paw toy - and this is my favorite tug toy too - as it is flexible and the toy seems to take most of the 'tug' tension, rather than my arm. The best, so far, as been an Everlasting Treat Ball - which he worked at for over an hour before getting the big treat out. This was I was looking for - something to channel that energy with a quiet activity. He kept going on the second treat in the ball, and I took it away from him. It will be saved for those special times I need it.
My dream now is to find some cheap kibble-like treat to put into his tug a jug that is not calorie filled like dog food. He loves the tug-a-jug, but I really don't want him eating 24/7.
Here is my boy -

Is music licensing as fucked up as it seems? My band plays cover songs, I want to promote our stuff (legally) but there isn't any way I can do this according to the licensing sites...
|
...just check it out - if you stick a cover song on Youtube or Soundcloud without the right licence you are in the wrong. Just show me where I can buy a licence to do this legally.
See what I mean?
Where is the licence to promote your band?
[edit]
Thanks for the opinion! Just a few points to clarify:
* I am a semi professional musician. I have written and produced plenty of my own music, but this thread doesn't relate to this at all.
* We play in an acoustic covers band (3 acoustic guitars, acoustic bass + assorted percussion) which is reasonably popular, and is easy to get paid gigs because that is what the venues/audiences want.
* I'm not questioning that it would be *easier* to just post it and not worry (after all that's what everyone else does), I was looking to see if it was actually *possible* to do this legally.
* The PRS site doesn't really cater for *performers* at all - which is ironic considering that the P in PRS stands for "Performing".
Ultimately it seems that the only way to do this is to rely on no-one noticing or caring when you post - which is a state of affairs I find a bit unsatisfying, but then that's just the way the world works I guess!
Incidentally, the deals that YouTube have with PRS and the other licensing organisations protects *YouTube*, not the performer or uploader.
[second edit]
I wonder if the downvotes are from people who think that music licensing is just fine as it is, or from people who just aren't interested in the conversation?

It was a good article on forming a company (i remember it talking about how google is a foriegn entity in ireland), not forming your company in deleware, registering your domain in a non-american registrar, and some other things, it was on a technology centered website and had like an 8 step list or something similar.
r/web_design can you help me find it or maybe even suggest some alternative points of view.
Thanks

[REQUEST] Help me, a photo I edited in photoshop is all squeezed :(
|
I'm mixing a lot of photos in to one picture for my bf. But when I save it, it's all squeezed and I don't know why. Can you help me restore it? It may be really easy for you, but I don't know what to do.
Thank you!

Please tell me: What is the one thing that makes a RPG your favorite?
|
I'm looking to see what it is that people love about their favorite RPG.
What one factor of it really speaks to you, or makes the game what it is? I'm working on a long term project and if it happens to take off, I'll have you awesome bunch to thank. (and if possible, rewarded)
For me, it's story. A good RPG will feel like your playing through a well written book. This is part of the reason why I love retro RPGs in particular. The developers seemed to focus a little less on features and polished graphics, and more on evoking an emotional response from the player. They wanted you to become a part of the story, not tell it to you like many modern games.
I guess this is why I'm so partial to Earthbound. It's witty, emotional, adventurous story line captivated me when I was young, and still does. The lack of buffs or weapons or spells didn't matter to me, because I was too excited about saving my friends and discovering wonderful, new places. Every step revealed an interesting character or scenery that made me want to keep exploring. In fact, I wish the game would never end, which is sort of the idea behind this project of mine..
So, what is it about your favorite RPG that makes it so?

What methods do you use to make sure you finish a book before starting your next one?
|
I get so excited about reading my next book that often I'll start it before I finish my current book. This bad habit has led to me not finishing ten or twenty really good books. I know I'm not the only one with this problem, so to all of those other anxious readers out there, how do you make yourself finish a book before starting your next one?

[Suggestion] Bigger spiders
|
It would be great if you added a big spider that places cobwebs on you when you are close to it, then it will eat you. (Or even better if it will carry you to its lair, then eat you)

Does anyone else feel like Michael Laws is trying to incite violence here?
|
This section and the quotes from Mr Laws was particularly troubling in my books.
He did not condone vigilante justice, but would not be surprised if the Whanganui public took matters into their own hands, especially in light of an incident on Friday when the house of a convicted sex offender in Turangi was firebombed.
"You almost force communities into that kind of illegal action if you impose upon them individuals that they know are a threat to them," Laws said.
"It's a perfectly understandable reaction when the legal authorities of the land won't and can't protect the community."

After a long separation from my SO I have trouble lasting..
|
This is a throw away for obvious reasons.
I'm in a LDR with my SO (I'm a dude, she's a she). We usually manage to see each other about every 4-6 weeks.
However, when we do get to see each other after long breaks and the sexy times commence, I have a problem lasting in bed with her (I'd say it can range from 4-10min of actual thrusting). This is unusual for me.
Usually by day 3 I'm back to my normal self and can last as long as her little heart desires, but by that time we have to part ways once again.
It's a terrible feeling when I can't pace myself correctly :(
So, LDRers, have any of you also faced similar situations?
What are some tips you might have to help "train" myself while we're apart, so I don't lose my stamina when it comes time to shine?
I've tried the obvious - masturbating.. But to me, solo 'bating and sex are two completely different animals. It doesn't matter how much I do or don't, the outcome will be the same.
I know I could also try rubbing one out right before hand but that kind of spoils the intimacy and it's not always convenient if at all possible to do in most situations.
Halp!

[Build Help] Had to substitute some parts because Australia - not sure if they're up to scratch
|
Okay, so I've spent the last few mornings doing some light research on parts and piecing together a build on PCPartsPicker. Then I spent another morning/evening swapping parts out because living in Australia pushed the price up about $300 and made some of the parts unavailable. Since my budget is $1000, I had to make some compromises.
I'll be using this for gaming, and plan on overclocking the CPU. I might reuse the HDD, optical drive and some fans from my current PC (a prebuilt), but I'm also thinking of selling it to recoup costs, so I don't know. Either way, they're not on the list.
So, how's it look? Any glaring incompatibilities or shitty parts that I overlooked?
Build before substituting:
Build after (sorry for the list, not all the parts were present on PCPartsPicker):
>Motherboard: Asus Z77-M
>PSU: Antec Modular High Current Gamer 520W
>CPU: Intel i5 3570K
>Cooling: Cooler Master 212 Evo
>GPU: Gigabyte GTX660
>RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB, low profile
>SSD: OCZ Vertex 4, 128GB
>Case: Cooler Master HAF-912 Advanced

First hypomanic episode at the job
|
Today i had my first hypomanic episode (after months of not having one) while i was at work. I usually tend to go for a walk and i calm down. However, since my job is always busy, I couldn't take a walk. So I'm asking, is this a right time to tell my boss about the disorder (and yes, Im okay with telling him that im bipolar)? Anything you guys can suggest about how to handle this thing on the job? All suggestions are appreciated.

What will Dark Souls' legacy be?
|
This game changed my perception of what games can be, and I will certainly remember it many years from now. But did it change gaming? What kind of impact do you think it will have on future generations of games?
We keep seeing games getting easier and more "hand-holdy" and using cutscenes to immerse the player. Will Dark Souls change anything or will I just have to wait for the sequel(s) to experience this again?
Interesting to think about.

[Build Ready] Software Development machine with gaming capabilities.
|
Here is my current proposed build. I've been working on this for about a week and a half with some help with some friends, and I feel confident in the final list, but wanted to throw it up here to get some extra input.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this machine is primarily software development. I am an ASP.NET web developer, so I need a fast machine capable of running Visual Studio (sometimes multiple instances), as well as SQL Server and other assorted development necessities. AKA, I need a workhorse. However I also play WoW (and possibly GW2), and I would like to be able to play them on more than minimal settings. I'm not looking for a gaming rig and I don't expect to be playing them on full settings. I would just like to get more than 3FPS during raids. I think this machine will serve well.

A couple things of note. No mouse because I already have a wireless mouse that has served me well for years. Also, I won't actually be purchasing Windows 7 as I have an MSDN license and can get it off of there. And I will likely be adding a second monitor sometime down the road. I do plan on buying this piecemeal, but my birthday is next month, so I'm expecting some money to come from relatives, and buying pieces 2 or 3 at a time, so I won't be dragging the purchase out over an extended period of time. I expect to have everything within a few months tops.
I think that's everything. Let me know what y'all think, if there are glaring inconsistencies, but I feel pretty strongly that this is the final list. According to my prices from Newegg, current price comes in at $1030.91, which is a pretty decent price considering the specs I've got.
EDIT: Before it is asked, I don't really have a "budget" so much as I would like to keep the build to under $1200.

Anyone else think it's weird that there won't be a Edgar-Henderson rematch?
|
Dana saw the fight 3-2 Edgar, and he was quick to give Penn the rematch. The Maynard rematch was because of a draw and had to be done, but I'd be calling bullshit if I was Frankie.
For the record, I thought Ben won and I'd much rather see Pettis-Henderson II. I'm also tired of the automatic Championship rematches.

Can someone explain how the WiiU ran out of preorders? And when can I finally get my hands on a console?
|
The WiiU, as we know, is pretty much impossible to find a preorder for. However, I don't understand why the companies can't just order more?
On a related note, since I didn't preorder, when would be a reasonable time to expect consoles to be available?
Thank you! Sorry if these questions are basic, a quick google search brought up nothing.

Spreadsheets and Bet Tracking
|
I use an app on my smartphone to track bets but it doesn't support all the things I bet on like tennis, NBA/tennis parlays and sometimes live tennis. What do you all use to track your bets? Do you have useful tricks for setting up a spreadsheet for bet tracking?
If you've got a good excel or google spreadsheet template please share that as well.

Local Form on Intranet to Auto Update Excel
|
What I would like to do is create a web page that our company would keep on a network location for certain people to access.
Opening this web page would open about 10 or so fields that need to be updated with text (mostly time). Upon submitting that data it would translate into a table format also as a web page.
From there Excel will read that other web page that is saved on the network and update itself on a new sheet in an existing spreadsheet. (I already know how to do that last part.)
I am not very experienced in web design at all - if anyone could point me in the right direction as far as any free resources or even the best language to learn to do this I would be very grateful.

We should do something to restart production of KOH.
|
I think it can be done, we just need enough people to petition a network and write to Mike Judge, and I bet the show could be back up in no time. (Well it would actually take a while, but it would be worth it.) Mike Judge did NOT want to cancel KOH, so I bet he'd be on board.

Would r/halo be interested in a Halo 4 tournament via xbox live?
|
I know it's about a month away, I'm just seeing who all would think they'd be interested in a tournament. I would be willing to set up all the matches, times, etc. It would be a good amount of work, and it would have to last a span of a month or so.
Others can set up for whatever gametype they like, but I would only be willing to do Team Slayer and maybe a CTF varient.
I wouldn't be able to supply much of a prize - but maybe the mods could give a sweet little champion flair?
**EDIT:** Thank you for the tons of comments and messages, but this is **not** the sign up post. I don't want to jot peoples names down, then have them quit going on reddit, and having no way to communicate with them. When Halo 4 comes out (maybe a day after or so), I'll post up another topic asking for peoples gamertags. **That** is when you should send me your info, and I'll try to get you matched up with other players.
**DOUBLE EDIT:** For those of you wondering, I changed my mind. I'll probably be doing two tournaments. One will be a 4v4 slayer, the other will be a 6 (or 8, depending on the numbers) man FFA. All rules will be basic slayer. You get whatever weapons you got, whatever abilities you want, etc. No strict MLG, BR only blahblahblah. Depending on the maps that are in the game, I'll try to pick some with no vehicles AND light vehicles.

So I can't play Dota 2 because I have a region locked invite...
|
A while ago, I finally managed to get my hands on a Dota 2 invite from a kind redditor after waiting to receive an invite for what seemed like an eternity. Unfortunately, the invite I got was Europe-locked, and I live in Asia. Thus, I was able to activate the key and have the game in my library but I could not play it.
After asking Steam support about it, they said they could not remove the game from my library (so I could activate an SEA key) or anything that would allow me to change my region.
**TL;DR:** I can't play Dota 2 because it's region locked and I can't even remove it from my library to get a key that works for my region.
Any ideas on what to do?
