dual-screen pdf viewer in Linux?
|
I'm creating a presentation in Beamer and I love the option for notes on a second screen. If you're unfamiliar, basically it creates a document that is twice as wide as normal. The slides are on one half and your notes are on the other half. The idea is, the pdf can be displayed across your laptop screen and the projector screen during a presentation. You can see your notes on your laptop, and everyone else sees the presentation on the projector.
So far I haven't been able to find a pdf viewer to do this in linux. I tried Adobe, evince, okular, and xpdf.
Does anyone have any experience with a dual-screen presentation like this? Or any ideas of another pdf viewer to try?
Thanks!

What are the best Sci-Fi books of the last 5-10 years?
|
I've recently finished reading Existence by David Brin (really enjoyed it), and I found there to be some stark differences between what I guess would be classic sci-fi, upto the 80's and whats being written about now. What are the books that have come out in the last 5-10 years that have really impressed you, either in terms of their interesting descriptions of human life in the future, or the way they deal with classic concepts of sci-fi?

What's a good yearbook quote for the question "Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?"?
|
So my school is making a yearbook for the end of the year and they're going to have everyone's picture and your response to the question "Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?"
The response can be a serious response or you can make a joke out of it, but answering it seriously is a bit boring. Was wondering if reddit had any interesting suggestions as to how I could answer this question.
Just a few facts about myself that might influence your suggestions, I'm the best guitarist at my school, I'm a quiet person so not a hell of a lot of the people in my year know who I am. This being said I don't really mind what people think of me so I will possibly answer with something inappropriate.

Have some questions about the Curly Girl method, if anyone can help?
|
So in the last few years my hair went from thin, frizz free and pin-straight to thicker, half wavy/half curly with a big frizzy patch at the back. Ive been reading up a little about the curly girl method, and i'd be curious to see how my curls/waves would be affected. However, a few months back i tried going sulfate-free, and after a little over a month i had to stop. My hair felt dry all the time, stiff, and my excema on my scalp was going haywire. I switched to Clear Scalp Therapy and havent looked back since. I know it has sulfates so it wouldnt be conducive to the Curly girl method, but i am still very curious about trying it. Is there any way for me to try this method without eliminating my Clear Scalp conditioner? Does anyone have a similar situation with positive results? Any and all suggestions are welcome!!

Do you think Korra will kill anyone?
|
The last post on this issue was a month ago, so I'd thought I'd see how views had changed now that we've seen a number of episodes. Personally, I think it's pretty likely that the first time Korra goes into the Avatar state, there will be some collateral damage. Tenzin says to Korra in ep. 2, "Being the avatar is not all about fighting, when will you realize that?", which seems fairly ominous.
Related question, assuming Korra did kill someone, intentionally or not, which character would it be? Would it be an enemy or a friend?

How do refrigerators work when the outside temp is colder?

I googled this but couldn't find much. I guess I don't really know how refrigerators work at all.
Specifically I wonder about a sizable outdoor walk in refrigerator my friends have at their butcher shop. Will it just shut off and try to insulate its self against the cold or does the same process that keeps the fridge cold in the summer keep it warm in the winter?

Where can I go for a reliable term life insurance company?
|
I'm interested in term life insurance (10, 15, 20 years) that will be an inexpensive way to protect my growing family until I can build up enough financial stability that my untimely passing will not have a major financial impact on them. Essentially, while we're financially vulnerable, I'd like to have insurance in place that the house can be paid off, my income can be replaced, and my kids can get to college. But once the kids are grown, the house is paid, and the nest egg is built, I don't want to be paying for insurance.
I have term life insurance now, but I'm finding the company to be incredibly difficult to deal with (phones are never answered, and even during business hours there are things like "all representatives are out to lunch" that make contacting them really shady). I made my current decision based on "inexpensive", and I'm feeling now that "reliable" and "long-lasting" should have been in there. My worry is that, should I kick the bucket, this will be a company that either has closed its doors, or has such disregard for customer service that my grieving widow will be unable to collect on the insurance.
Has anyone had good luck with a reliable, reasonably priced term life insurance carrier?
In the unfortunate event that someone here has had a close friend or relative who was insured pass away, have they had good luck with a particular company being helpful, responsive, and forthcoming with death benefits?
What sorts of places do you find this kind of review on a given insurer?

My grandmother is a victim of internet bullying - how can I help her?
|
Sounds weird but if anyone has experience working with older folks, especially in elderly communities, you would be privy to some real high school drama bullshit. I provide care for my grandmother. Unfortunately, with the added, "benefit" of Facebook and other outlets I have run into a particular pickle. It seems that the name calling & gossiping from the days of yore have transcended to hate-laden wall posts, nasty e-mails etc. She cries over gossip (directly about her and indirectly about her), land/property disputes, family allegiances and is being held responsible for the type of life some of her children/grandchildren are leading. I have just advised her to leave the social networks and net alone regarding those issues & just enjoy everything else. I have read up on internet bullying and searched AskReddit but is this applicable to someone that is 70+ y/o? Surely I am biased as it is my grandma but with the advent of internet bullying awareness, I really wish I knew how to help.
TL;DR
Grandma is showing signs of depression because other old folks and family bad mouth her online. Help/advice please.

The Personal Light Jet (design questions)
|
Hey guys, I'm an aeronautical engineering student designing a "personal light jet" for my senior project. The personal light jet is a very small (~5,000 lb MTOW) 4-6 passenger aircraft marketed for those that want something faster than a prop aircraft without the huge cost associated with larger jets. Here is an example of a PLJ My question is: what would you guys, as pilots, want to see in a personal light jet? Since the major demographic will be pilots, I want my aircraft to be designed specifically for the best flying experience. More specifically, would you prefer maneuverability over stability? What kind of subsystems could I add that I might otherwise overlook? Do you think I should design for the best possible instrumentation and interior, or try to keep it affordable? Thanks for reading and your feedback. If I get a large enough response, I'll post again with my current design drawings and estimations. Oh, one more thing. What altitude do light jets cruise at? For the life of me I can't find it.
EDIT: Thanks for the input all, it'll definitely come in handy. I've thought of another question: how important to the average pilot is having a lot of visibility through windshields and such. I have about 9 hours in a skyhawk and I was always uncomfortable with the overhead wing limiting my visibility. I want to add a lot of windows to my design to make pilot and passengers really feel like they're flying, rather than just travelling, but of course that adds structural concerns.
EDIT2: Since there was so much interest, I'll post my concept drawings for review after I update them with the code I'm developing and the suggestions posted here. I'll have it done this weekend or early next week. Input is still welcome, and thanks again, this has been very helpful.

Hey guys, I'm going to be getting another 10/22 soon through my employers Ruger 4r Program, and I wanted to outfit this one with tech sights. I just had a question about which one would be better for me.
TSR100 or the TSR200?
I generally do a good amount of 50-200 yard shooting with my other 10/22 and I'm probably going to be doing the same with this one, I'm just very unfamiliar with these sights and which one would be more suitable to shoot those distances?

TIFU by reading my dad's Whatsapp messages.
|
This isn't one of the I shit accidentally or i stuffed my cat up my anus tifus.
This happened just last night and I am still a bit of shock. So I came to visit my 54 year old dad and 49 year old mom after about 7 months of not seeing them. They set up a feast and seemed fine which is great. My dad gave me his old iPhone 4s because I had a pretty crappy phone, I thanked him and restored it. Fast forward after setting it up and such, the first thing I downloaded was Whatsapp, I use it for messaging for everybody so it was an instadownload to me.
I put my Phone number for the verification and messaging, and this is where it begins. For some reason it had put my dad's Whatsapp other than mine probably because the iPhone kept the cache.
Me and my dad list my mom as the same thing, as her first name. At the time I didn't know that i was actually on my dad's Whatsapp at the time, plus their were random phone numbers on chat and I didn't know what was going on.
So I went on my mom's chat, oh boy, oh boy. I'll just be straight with you nearly 500 sexts in 2 weeks
And what annoyed me the most is how my mom treated my dad, I remember every single word in just one of the hundred sexlogs.
Dad: "I need a BJ now" (he said this yesterday where currently i was in the house)
Mom: "Ok"
Dad "A professional one, I will pay you"
Mom: "But you know you have to reciprocate"
Dad: "No, I will pay you"
He treats my mom like a fucking prostitute, I don't know if this is some type foreplay, but I certainly wouldn't treat my girlfriend like this at all.
I was up the whole night thinking they have the "professional" BJ now, and my mind for some reason forced an image of my mom deep throating my dad's cock :/
Yes, I saw images, of my mom's ass but i tried to squirm through anything that looked like cock the whole time i was in absolute shock, too much curiosity went over me.
I ran to my bathroom and gagged for a few minutes. stared my self at the mirror for a few minutes and gagged a bit more.
I can't look at them (especially my dad) anymore (they don't know that I looked at his messages), it disgusted me because my girlfriend or me never sexts. We prefer eye to eye contact ;)
I immediately deleted Whatsapp and reinstalled it and I still feel a bit sick.
TL;DR: Accidentally accessed my dad's Whatsapp, saw hundreds of sexts between 2 weeks. Saw images, horrible chat log, and scarred for life.
And apparently my dad's favorite porn site is xvideos.

Windows 8 authentication unavailable
|
I got a key from work for an enterprise edition of Windows 8 for my Macbook Pro. I used to boot camp Windows 7 and it wouldn't let me upgrade directly from 7 to 8. So, I had to wipe my partition and fresh install Windows 8. That went through without an issue. Now, however, I can't authenticate my Windows 8. I have a key and all that, but when I go to PC Settings to authenticate I get a message that says "Windows cannot authenticate right now, try again later."

[Vector Calculus] Brushing up on domains of inverse trig functions.
|
Hey all,
I'm taking a vector calc class this summer, and one of the things my prof says will eventually be on the exams are the domains of the inverse trig functions (arctan, arcsin, arccos, etc). I can't find these anywhere online, and I took a pretty basic trig course in high school (go USA math, go!) so I'm a bit rusty on the unit circle and domains of trigonometric functions. Can someone tell me the domain of these functions (I don't actually need these for homework, they just probably will show up on exams because yay)? Alternatively, can someone send me somewhere they are listed? I don't need proofs.

[Request][02116] Looking to provide a Thanksgiving dinner for tenants in the rooming house I manage.
|
First time poster in this subreddit, have given out a few pizzas in random_acts_of_pizza.
I manage a 16-unit rooming house in Boston, MA. 11 out of 16 units are occupied by people making, generally, below 50% of area median income, myself included, working two jobs. I would like to give my tenants a Thanksgiving dinner this year, and I have ordered a turkey, that I plan to pay on my own, but it would be nice to have some assistance with other groceries for side dishes, paper plates, utensils, napkins, etc...
I will try to provide any proof requested without compromising tenant privacy.
If I need to adjust the request please let me know. And thank you in advance for reading.
**Second edit** Company has offered to help out with some gift card to the super market. Getting very excited about this as I have not had a Thanksgiving dinner in years, and to share it with my tenants makes it even more special.

I am [20/M] and am interested in a [15/F]. I know the feeling is mutual, we have met each others parents and family and everyone is okay with it. The constitution, however, isn't. Is it wrong?
|
I am 20/M and have been "seeing" a 15/F for a few weeks. She is actually really mature and down to earth for her age and from what I can see, we have really similar interests + personalities. I can honestly say I really enjoy her company.
Proof of that is that I introduced her to my parents, she came to my moms place for dinner, everyone gets along + is alright. I normally never bring girls home either. I've met her parents. They are cool with it and they seem like nice people too.
Some of my friends bust my chops here and there but I can take a joke easily and I would do the same to them.
The issue is that I don't think this is "legal."
Is it wrong for us to see eachother? I mean.. in about 6 months, she will be 16 which I believe is the age of consent where I live, but where we sit now, not so much. I do like her and because of that I try to overlook the "legal" consequence but in the end they are still there. Which is what brings me here. Is this okay from a moral perspective? It doesn't bother me or her, parents are all okay.. Am I a criminal?
Since I know the question will come up, we haven't had sex but the way things are going I can see that happening very soon.
tl;dr - 20M interested in 15F. Everyone is okay with it. Is it wrong or is it alright for me to keep pursuing this?

How fast would you have to rise in altitude to experience "The Bends" outside of water. Is it even possible in the atmosphere as opposed to underwater?
|
In my day to day fantasies about having super powers, I imagined, like many people do, flying alongside a commercial aircraft and waving at the passengers in the windows. However, it occurred to me that if I were to fly that high and fast, without being in a pressurized aircraft it may not be as cool as I thought considering you'd have to gradually work your way to a certain height, as opposed to shooting straight up vertically in order to avoid decompression sickness. Is this even an issue with air pressure as opposed to water pressure, and if so how much of an issue is it, i.e. how slowly would I need to gain altitude to remain safe?
Also is this an issue with skydivers who free-fall, or is it just an issue of *gaining* altitude at a fast rate?

Polish 7.62 Tokarev Ammo: Split cases and bullet diameter questions
|
Hi all, I've been going through a case of 50's Polish surplus Tok ammo over the past couple months and I was wondering if there is any danger in firing the cartridges that have cracks around the case mouth. I've just been sorting them out from the rest but I'm finding that almost 50% of the rounds out of the case have these cracks. I'd be kind of bummed out if I had to throw away 800 rounds of ammo so that's why I'm asking if they're safe to shoot.
My other question was about the difference in bullet diameter over the different brands for the caliber. I own a Yugo M57 and I'm getting fairly bad accuracy from it even though the bore looks pristine. I measured the bullets from the Polish surplus as well as some Wolf Gold ammo and was getting an average of 0.307" and 0.306" respectively. I thought that I should be seeing an average of 0.310" and I'm wondering if anyone has found a brand with bullets that are closer to the ideal diameter.

What do people really mean when they say "That's the funniest thing you've ever said" every. single. time. you say something funny; as opposed to just, well... laughing??
|
Couple things:
1. The thing that confuses me is that people say this in a dickish manner; almost with disdain or anger. And they often look away in their anger or annoyance, especially people that I've known for more than a decade.
2. I am very rarely funny, IE where I get natural, authentic laughter, and not the "courtesy chuckle." My humor is just "off" and often times when other people say jokes I don't know when to laugh, or I'll just laugh when others around me laugh.
3. Many, many people have said this over the years, from different locations, cultures and walks of life.
It really is getting to me. And while I'm sure they could just avoid my company, which is probably what they want anyway), I have no idea what causes someone to say this angrily, rather than just appreciating the humor? I'm sure the thousands of times I've said something completely unfunny is the cause, (on top of how awkward and boring I can be), but I just don't understand what is going on and why it happens this way.
Thanks for the help.

I walk funny and I think it's causing me knee problems.
|
I'll cut to the chase: I walk super duck footed and I believe it's causing me knee pain when I squat. I always squat below parallel, and I always make sure to push my knees out in the same direction as my toes. Regardless, even when I do this flawlessly, I can feel some straining in my knees. I noticed today that when I walk, my feet go sideways but my knees are basically still facing straight. Could this stupid and prolonged walking be the cause? I try to keep my feet straight, and whenever I'm focusing on my feet they are, but too often I think of other shit when I walk.
Any ideas?

Why feminists MUST support DNA paternity testing -- and why they are afraid of it
|
> Concern about paternity isn't an artifact of DNA paternity testing. It isn't retaliation against wives because of their perceived faults. It isn't simply redressing the balance for disempowered men. It isn't caused by malleable social influence. On the contrary, it is an evolved fundamental human drive that has shaped societies for millennia. It has caused men to practise unacceptable acts against women to ensure that the paternal line is preserved. It continues to do so in some places.
> DNA paternity testing emerged into a world that was already long concerned with paternity. The speed with which it has been exploited in several domains is a reflection of how much societies were already grappling with this topic. Paternity testing pushed at an open door, and is now a permanent resident. Instead of only analysing any downside to paternity testing, it would be wise to examine how it can help to make societies better in future. Then we have to manage our way through the current transitional period, which we should try to keep as short and painless as possible.
Source: Paternity Commentaries
So in the old days the only means to ensure women were not lying to their husbands about paternity was through strict social and physical control. With DNA testing paternity is no longer in question, it is a simple scientific fact easily determined. Now the "old ways" rightly look barbaric. DNA testing eliminates the need for anything remotely like that. *We are in a transition to a completely different type of society as a result.*
But DNA testing *also* exposes those women who lie and cheat and try to trick a man into supporting them through paternity fraud. This combined with sole-choice for birth or abortion is a woman's ultimate privilege. And radfems find any assault on women's privilege to be a crime.
DNA testing MUST be a feminist cause. It opens the door for true equality and eliminates the need for "patriarchal oppression." And yet radfems will fight to the death against it, further showing them to be the hypocrites they really are.
*Edit:* Here is an article that says the exact same thing, but actually seems to say the need for DNA testing is overblown *precisely because social and religious structures exist to control women.* Apparently the fear of God and even segregating women into "menstrual huts" is somehow better than DNA testing. Some people will twist into intellectual knots to protect a woman's right to lie about paternity.
> Meanwhile, a study out today found religious strictures can help prevent cuckolding. Authors studied an African region where people were a mix of Christians, Muslims, and followers of the local Dogon religion.
> The Dogon "menstrual huts", where women are kept for five nights a month were an effective way to reduce cuckolding because they exposed a woman’s fertility cycle to the entire community.
> The US authors of the study, published in today’s Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences, said such measures and other religious factors such as social control and the fear of God helped ensure men knew children were their own. They said this aim was common to all world religions:
> “Although the world religions do not have menstrual huts, they do share common tenets that may foster cuckoldry avoidance.”

I'm curious to know some creepy or strange things that you've seen in somebody's profile that seem like it would turn people away, but didn't turn you away.
Conversely, do you have anything in your profile you know to be weird or creepy but you still seem to get responses?
I met my boyfriend on OKC 5 months ago and his profile said something like, "I touch people a lot when I care about them. You have to be very comfortable with my touch." I think that line would deter a lot of people but it was part of the reason why I sent him a message, because I love being touched all the time.
In my profile, the only photo of my face is one where I'm dressed up as a homeless man for Halloween. I look very manly and not womanly at all. I actually did it to reduce the number of messages I get so it'd be easier for me to sort through people. Yet, somehow I get messages with that photo as the conversation starter.

'Point A' - Parkour, Capoeira, dance, martial art etc. movement culture warehouse - in CBD. Help!
|
Hi r/Adelaide. This is a project that I've been working on for quite a while now and am pretty excited about.
We're setting up a training/community space called 'Point A' in a small warehouse in the CBD. Last stage is battling the council for approval (requirements for disabled toilets...).
We're trying to use our networks to find people interested in being involved. So if you can help in any of the ways listed, please let me/us know!
For more of an idea/picture of what it will be, check the Facebook below.
1 - We're looking for second-hand furniture and gear to put in the place. See this rough list I've put together on the webpage:
www.pointa.com.au/startupneeds.html
If you've got stuff in the shed or know a friend who can sort us out, please let us know.
2 - If you or someone you know does something movement-y with a healthy culture or community and is after some space - contact us! We're looking to create a hub and community in Adelaide and cross-train in all sorts of cool stuff. There will also be a library of donated materials for people to hang out in.
So far interested are Parkour, Freerunning, Capoeira, couple of martial arts, Krumping (dance), african drumming and a couple other small things.
3 - Do the social media thing and check out www.facebook.com/ADLPointA and www.twitter.com/ADLPointA
4 - If you know any school teachers or school kids, we're very interested in running Parkour classes/workshops, and have run several in school quite successfully. Perhaps pass on our details, or just mention us?
Parkour Classes will be run by the South Australian Parkour Association: www.sapa.asn.au
Feel free to ask questions, I'm on Reddit a fair bit so should answer.
Sorry for the spam/marketing if you don't like this sort of message.
Thanks!

I'm not really sure what information to provide here.. but the main causes of the large amount of dust in my room(house, really) are: My Dad is a heavy smoker(4+ packs a day), I have a dog and two cats, my Dad doesn't keep up with changing the filter for our air/heat unit.

Is it worth purchasing a SSD right now?
|
SSD prices have seemed to be making a major dip in price lately (later today there will be a 128GB Crucial M4 SSD [without a transfer kit] on sale for $100). Would it be worth purchasing one now, or would I be better off waiting even longer?
Second question (I may as well ask now!) Is the transfer kit a big deal? I have a HDD with my OS and files on it already and would want my OS on the SSD as well as my major apps and favorite game or two. (I don't know how to do this, yet anyway).

Users of Reddit: How did you get over your hatred of someone (or a group of people)?
|
I have never liked some people in high school and I haven't been to high school in ages. I found my yearbook while cleaning the house and I skimmed through it to see the pictures of people I disliked (and probably hated). I began to get flustered but, I stopped myself and thought about it. I remembered that I don't care about any of these people and BOOM it just calmed me down. Time does heal wounds and if I ever saw these people I wouldn't give them the time of day unless they antagonize me again.
How did the rest of you guys get over your hatred? What was your technique or resolution method?

Why is it that we have rain that is pretty much only water? How come you never see it rain (insert element/chemical name here)?
|
Now, while I understand that water seems to be akin to the temperatures the Earth has, how come we never see it rain (for example) nitrogen or anything like that? (I understand it would have to be really cold to rain nitrogen, but there must be something?)
This is taking into account that I already know about acid rain/etc but I feel that acid rain is more akin to the water filtering out chemicals as it falls.

Over the years my voice has gotten "lazier". I slur words more, have a deep bass monotone behind everything I say, and people have begun to have a hard time understanding me. What are some exercises/steps I can take to enunciate better and remove the monotone I seem to have?
|
I'm sorry if I'm not describing this well, but hopefully someone can relate. I feel like the voice I hear in my head is absent of this deep bass monotone that lines every word that comes out of my mouth. The result is that my words appear to be strung together and I just sound really, really different on tape recorder than the voice that I hear in my head. I understand of course that everyone has an issue where they sound stranger than they imagine they sound, but this seems more serious to me.
Do I need a vocal coach? Are there online exercises or readings I can do to help fix my monotone or eliminate my penchant for slurring words together?

How much do a woman's looks affect her online dating success? Results from my 4-month OKCupid experiment... [x-post from r/okcupid]
|
So, where to begin?
For my blog I sometimes do interesting examinations and investigations of subcultures and social conventions (if you're an /r/sex fan you might remember my analysis of 5000 call girl reviews.
In February I thought I'd conduct an experiment on OKCupid to find out **to what degree do gender and physical appearance affect the number of unsolicited messages a woman gets compared to those received by men?**
I think everyone knows that online dating, at least the first part (receiving messages without sending any first) is quite a different experience for girls than it is for guys - I wanted to put some numbers to that fact.
I created 10 dummy profiles using the same generic, gender-neutral written profile, the same personal stats and the same answers to 25 of OKC's questions, then assigned 5 men and 5 women's photos to them and distributed them around the US. A week later, I moved all accounts to the UK and continued the experiment for another 4 months.
A snapshot of the results:
* After one week, the most contacted woman had almost 17 times more messages in a week than the most contacted man.
* After 4 months, the women as a group received over 20 times more messages than the men.
* The two most attractive women received 83% of ALL messages.
* It took 2 months, 13 days for the most popular woman’s inbox to fill up. At the current rate it would take the most popular man 2.3 years to fill up his.
I also wrote a 'perfect' first message to demonstrate how a man can up his chances of impressing a woman without getting lost in the sea of undifferentiated male attention she is swamped with on a daily basis. The response I received to this message was really great!
It's not a truly scientific study by any means (and doesn't compare in scale to OKTrends), but I think it throws a bit of extra light on the situation all of us, male or female, are in when using a site like OKC to meet people.
Here is the full write-up, including lots of pretty graphics, on my blog:
Hope you find it interesting!

"You see, chiropractic is not magic – on the contrary, it is a miracle! The miracle is in the ability to express the God given Perfection that was placed in you at birth. Once this happens, there will never be a need for magic ever again."
|
My friendly neighborhood chiropractor posted this on Facebook recently. If you want to hurt your brain, please read:
>Yesterday I saw a TV commercial for an anti-inflammatory and pain relieving medication. I usually have a problem with these ads, but this one turned out to be totally true. The ad was about a man who was playing in a Father and Son baseball game. His son was upset because his Dad’s knee pain was preventing him from playing full out like the other dads.
>Then he took some of the medicine and he was able to play at the level that made both him and his son happy. The commercial ended with the father saying, “It works like magic!”
>As I said, I am not usually in agreement with drug ads, but this one spoke the truth in a way I had never heard it stated before – “It works like magic!”
>You see, the word “magic” can be defined as either “fooling someone,” “fooling nature” or “controlling nature.” Drugs work in exactly this way. They can “fool people” into believing their bodies are functioning just fine. This causes them to no longer be aware of warning signals their bodies are giving them to avoid certain things.
>They also work by “fooling nature.” That is, they fool the natural adapting and healing mechanisms of the body into thinking that everything is fine. And, they work by “controlling nature.” In other words, they completely bypass the natural systems God (nature) has set up in your body to continually adapt, heal and grow you toward the full expression of your purpose and potential in life and cause something else to occur instead.
>Think carefully about this now – Is that what you really want to do? Is that the choice you want to make for your family – to “fool” yourselves into a false feeling of security and comfort?
>Chiropractic is not “magic” at all. In fact, the last thing we want to do is “fool or control” anything! We know that we all have within us a Divine Perfection that always knows what to be and do in every situation. We call this perfection your Innate Intelligence.
>We know that when this Inner Wisdom can express itself fully through your nerve system, everything heals in the right way and in the right order. We also know that if your body needs to warn you about a certain movement, position or activity you will get that warning so that further damage can be avoided and healing may continue.
>We also know that as you continue through your care and as you continually express your Life Force more completely, you will be able to progressively become more aware of what your purpose in life is and work toward the actualization of that purpose.
>You see, chiropractic is not magic – on the contrary, it is a miracle! The miracle is in the ability to express the God given Perfection that was placed in you at birth. Once this happens, there will never be a need for magic ever again.
Of course, there is some truth in this. Some drugs do mask symptoms, and that can be dangerous. But these same drugs provide relief and improve quality of life for those with chronic pain. These drugs are tools. When used properly and in the right amounts they serve a purpose. No magic involved (or miracles).
I think chiropractic can help some people. And I understand there are different flavors of chiropractor. What I don't understand is how the reasonable ones can tolerate the actions and statements of the quacks? I see little difference between statements like the one quoted and something you might get from a homeopath, or a faith healer. This is quackery and the stature that chiropractors enjoy (in general) should be lowered because of it.
I wonder if anyone here has an idea of the prevalence of this kind of thinking in the chiropractic community? I've seen the huge echo chamber that they have created on Facebook with hundreds of chiros posting and reposting this stuff. But I don't really know how prevalent this is in the real world or geographically.

I have never did psyclobin mushroom and I got my hands on some. Is it safe to do alone for a first time?
|
I just got some dried mushrooms from Oregon (I'm in California) and I have about a quarter worth. I plan on eating them tomorrow (not all of it, of course) because my parents leave for work in the afternoon and don't come back til the morning so I know I'm in a safe environment. The problem is I have no one to trip-sit for me and for being a first time I heard is somewhat crucial to have one. I know I'm safe from any danger and I think in my own home is the best place to do it. Is it really important to have somebody sober watching you? I read several stories of people wanting to kill themselves and it's easier for your bad emotions to trigger since you're alone. Are there any precautions I should know before I trip alone? Any advice, questions, stories, concerns is much appreciated. I just plan on turning on my Bose boombox and listen to music. Mostly the Beatles :)

I want to build a homemade pipe out of stuff I could buy at maybe a hardware store - I'd like some tips.
|
As much as I love using joints and glass pipes, I kinda want to switch it up a little. I'm a little bored (and dry) on a sunday and I can't pick up until later today. So, I figure going to the hardware store and making a pipe in the meantime would be fun!
I've heard of people making pipes from metal tubing and sockets and the like. I'd like to just go to the hardware store, buy some parts and make myself a cool little pipe!
Problem is I don't really know what I'm doing so I would like some advice. Maybe some pointers on what kind of stuff to buy or even a guide to making something if you feel inclined.
Yes, yes, I realize I could go to any headshop and get a cheap pipe but I want the satisfaction of it being home made. Also i'd like to spend less than $30 if possible.
Thanks in advanced!

My 500gb external HDD has stopped working. When I turn it on the power light comes on as normal but there is hardly any noise from inside the enclosure, only a slight clicking sound every now and then. I've taken great care of all my hard drives but it did stop working after I moved so maybe that something to do with it.
How should I approach recovering my data? I've heard hard drive repair is insanely expensive but there should be little to no damage to the disc itself. I'll take any and all advice at this point and if any further info is needed please ask away.

My kid's alive. It wasn't a miracle; it was my brain's subconscious pattern-matching.
|
We have a six-week-old baby. Yesterday, for some reason, I stopped folding clothes in the living room and got up to check on her. I felt a distinct sense of foreboding - different from the normal new-parent paranoia. I walked into her room while she was sleeping (on her back, in a crib, in a sleep sack). Something didn't seem quite right, and when I looked at her, I noticed that she was really, really still. So I put my hand on her stomach, and realized that I couldn't feel her ribcage moving.
I picked her up, and she didn't react. At all. Normally she would curl up, or grimace, or make some squeaky noise of protest in her sleep. But she just flopped limply. I shouted at her to wake up. Nothing. Then, after several seconds, she took a huge gasping breath and started breathing again.
I cannot describe to you just how terrifying that was. It makes me start to cry again just typing that out.
Took the kid to the doctor, where she was diagnosed with apnea. They sent her to the hospital for monitoring, and they sent her home with an alarm system that goes off when she stops breathing.
In retelling this story to doctors, nurses and family members today, pretty much everyone has wondered what drew me into the room where the baby was sleeping. Was it God? Angels? Motherly intuition? I've been turning it over in my mind ever since. I've been trying to remember exactly what I was thinking and doing and seeing as I walked into her room.
It just hit me: the baby had a cold, and *I didn't hear her nose whistling*.
I'd been hearing this irritating little sound for so long that I'd sort of tuned it out. But even though I wasn't conscious of it, and was actually sitting in another room, some part of my brain registered the absence of the nose-whistle. And I believe that was what made me get up to investigate.
I've got to say that the pattern-matching ability of the human brain is the real miracle here.

Hi my name is BornAgainSmoker, and I'm an elitist
|
This post is of no consequence or real substance, but I just felt like sharing. After purchasing my SYN, lurking, and (limited) posting in r/glassheads, I have become a glass elitist. Making the leap to elitist wasn't hard, I'm already a beer and coffee snob as I brew and roast my own. However, I confirmed this elitism just now because whenever I see someone bragging on their Roor, Hoss, Black Leaf etc. pipe, I scoff and think 'chinese crap'.
When I was in college, I used to smoke out of a little cheapy glass piece, no doubt made in China, from my local head shop. No diffusion/percs and some odd blue colors in it. Now that I've got a steady job, and have decided to smoke again (after a multi-year break, felt I had to 'grow up' in the mean time, realized I could do both) as I said before, I made the leap. That little piece will always be special, but after experiencing difference of a high quality boro tube and reading the posts on here, I won't be going back. Thanks for reading, and thanks for being elitist with me.

I have a large hospital on the horizon - any advice for how to change strategy when your accounts are about to be annihilated?
|
The short story: I was in the hospital for 4 days, everything went as best as it possibly could have. By my own mistake and young stupidity, I was in the middle of a 2 week health insurance gap. I'm going to be on the hook for this hospital bill and the size of the bill is unknown at the moment.
I'm 26, have been working for a couple years and have no debt. My net worth is around $50,000 between retirement, taxable and savings accounts. I'm on track to increase that number to $70,000 but this hospital bill is certainly going to change the financial calculus.
Aside from continuing to live my frugal lifestyle and saving 60%+ of my income (currently ~$55,000 after tax), are there any recommendations for how to plan for an imminent (within 3-6 months) large expense?
Related: If I need to dig into my investment accounts - is there a recommended order in which I should liquidate funds? Or, should I liquidate as to keep my target asset allocation?

Help needed identifying shotgun light gun game
|
I need help identifying a light gun game that I played probably 10-15 years ago at a Pizza Hut. From what I remember, the enemies were aliens, and I think they resembled the xenomorphs from the Alien movie series.
The light gun itself was shotgun shaped, and when you pumped the shotgun, it changed your weapon within the game.
I've tried browsing MAWS with the proper filters and I can't seem to find it.
I don't think it was 'Alien 3: The Gun', because the cabinet's guns are wrong. They look like mounted guns i.e. 'T2: Judgement Day', and the game I remember had light guns on cords that you held; they weren't mounted to the cabinet.

However, I have a secret that I've kept from her for a year: beginning last summer I started hanging out with a female friend of mine that I used to know in high school and had at one point kissed at a party. We were both in relationships and would hang out and do art and stuff so at first it seemed innocent, us sharing a strong connection in a creative sense. It got to be a pretty regular thing, hanging out a couple times per week. I realized I have feelings for her, and eventually we kissed, and this happened a few times but each time I immediately felt guilty and thought of my loving, trusting girlfriend that I had betrayed. At one point I mentioned hanging out with the girl to my gf, and she was suspicious so I stopped mentioning it but I kept hanging out with the girl. The girl told her boyfriend everything, and they pretty much broke up over it. Eventually the girl and I agreed that we shouldn't see each other anymore. I saw her last night and she told me I was a coward for not telling my gf about it, and that the whole thing was fucked up. I agreed, but I'm afraid that if I tell my gf it will end my relationship and I don't want to break my gf's heart but I guess it's the right thing to do. The relationship i have with my gf is good, we make each other laugh a lot and don't fight that often but sometimes I feel as though everything is sort of surface level, that perhaps we lack a really deep connection that couples are supposed to have.

Can someone please share easy-to-understand instructions to help get this going for us non-computer laymen?
|
Seriously. I know I really want to help out and I'm sure there are a lot more of us in the same boat but don't know where to start. There are a few other topics here with similiar requests, but after browsing thru I found myself even more confused. Any chance of getting soemthing easy to understand and follow? Maybe point form, or a TL;DR instructional guide? I am not overly computer literate, nor have the time to invest in learning complex ideas. I just want to help out and save the internet.

Looking to help my girlfriend find a new job in the forensics field. Can r/Forensics give me some pointers?
|
Hey r/Forensics,
To give you the short story, my girlfriend has been a lab technician now for you a few years in the forensics field. In the last six months, she has taken a job that she absolutely loathes. I'd rather not say what affiliation it is but from what she tells me, it is poorly run and managed, and she is held accountable for far too much above and beyond her job description.
If she doesn't come home in tears, she comes home in a terrible mood. As I've mentioned before, she's worked in Forensics for awhile and thought she was advancing her career path by taking this job. She had since realized that she has made a huge mistake.
She's really down in a rut right now and in order to help, I'd like to try and find some opportunities for her or maybe help her find ones that she doesn't know about.
Are there any good resources out there for finding jobs in the Forensics field? I have a feeling Craigslist may not be the best place to start.
Also, her major is in Biology with her minor in Forensics. Do you know any other jobs (not just in the Forensics field) that her skills may lend themselves to?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please take it easy on me if I sound ignorant to the field but I work in Television so her field is a great mystery to me. Thanks!
TL;DR My girlfriend can't stand her job in Forensics and it's even sucked away her motivation. I'm trying to help her search for a new one. What are some good resources for finding new employment opportunities in the field?

Can anyone recommend a good starter home workout bench?
|
Hey fittit, I'd like to invest in a starter weights bench and weights combo but I have no idea what the difference would be with pricing and quality, etc. I don't need anything fancy, just something solid and worth the money and I'm new enough to strength training that I don't know what the respected brands are.
I'm in the UK and I was looking at something like this. I'm willing to spend more at a later date to get heavier weights if I progress but I'd like something solid to start out.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Uncles funeral tomorrow- his fave joke
|
Tomorrow morning is my Uncle/Godfather's funeral. In honor of him I present to you his favorite joke, one I heard multiple times a week until he lost the ability to speak about ten years ago. *this is to the best of my memory*
This guy dies and goes to heaven, when he gets to the Pearly Gates, St peter checks the list and tells him he can enter. The guy asks St Peter if he has everyone that will be going to heaven on that list. St Peter answers 'yes'. He then asks St Peter if his brothers and sisters are on the list, to which St Peter replies 'yes' as well. So the guy asks St Peter if he enjoys spending his time outside the gates of Heaven. St Peter tells him 'No, but somebody has to inform people if they are getting into Heaven or not.' So they guy tells St Peter, 'instead of standing at the Pearly Gates waiting to let people know if they're going to Heaven why don't you just send everybody a letter?' St Peter likes that idea and sends the letter to the guys brothers and sisters and everybody on the list. When they got that letter they opened it up, and do you know what that letter said?.......No? I didn't get one either.

My idea for a WIFI based share center.
|
So recently I been texting with friends and family ( more than usual ) and it got me thinking, would it not be better if we had a WIFI based share center? Kinda like facebook but instead of sharing to FB you can just ( example ) press share then select the 'APP' and then who will get the shared memo/text/picture and bam, 1 -5 secs later it shows up on their mobile.
Now this is very alike FB but bare with me.
What if you found a web page but do not want to SMS it to a friend nor post on FB, well there is one solution if this app is made, just press share and the person and bam, he can view it directly instead of going into the SMS app and then opening the browser.
I couldn't find anything like this but then again I did not exactly search for all the words I could possibly think of in the Play Store.
PM or comment for more.

Fugly Duckling...GET ALL THE ABV!!!
|
I was messing around with BeerSmith 2 and came up with a recipe for something that I call "Fugly Duckling". Since I'm a relative noob with regards to brewing, I had no idea there was a type of hops called Fuggle, so I had to tweak the recipe. Here's what I have so far. Any ideas on how to raise the est. abv from 4.7% to something in the 5.4 range?
Anyways...here's the recipe so far:
6.6lb Dark liquid malt extract,
12oz Caramel 120L,
12oz Black Barley (steeping),
2oz Cascade (60min),
1oz Fuggles (5 min),
Keep in mind, I'm just tinkering with a program right now and have not attempted to make this yet.

Single parents, how do I pull off Santa if I there's nothing me under the tree?
|
Recently seperated and I have a 4 year old. Her dad will be coming over Christmas morning but I'm almost certain he won't be bringing a gift for me. None of my family celebrates Christmas either, so I can't ask them to have one signed from Santa. Now I'm fine with this, but I feel pretty silly buying anything for myself. I don't want her to think Santa thinks I'm naughty, our that he forgot about me. I don't want to ruin the mystery or fun of being 4. I want her to have an awesome Christmas. What do the single parents of reddit do?

Trying to find Cheetos Dracoulinia
|
When I have been to Greece in the past I have eaten a brand of Cheetos called dracoulinia (I think).
They were similar to monster munch (from the UK) but taste like nothing else, kind of spicy.
In Spain I have had a 'spooky' themed bag of Cheetos but they were a kind of cheese flavour.
Can anyone help?

Tomorrow is my 21st birthday. Reddit, what advice do you have for me about going out to the bars?
|
I plan on going to a bar this weekend since my birthday is tomorrow. A lot of my friends aren't 21 yet and I'm single, so I may be going out solo a night or two.
I've never been in a bar before so my knowledge is essentially next to nothing. Anyway, is there anything in particular that you may (or may not) have learned the hard way?

DAE Not really like Team Fortress 2?
|
I got the Orange Box forever ago for the Halflife series. I loved HL2 and the episodes, but never tried TF2. I decided to give it a try recently because the opinion of the internet seems to be that it is an incredible game.
I didn't really like it. I love the little TV spots that Valve did for each character, I love the art style, but I found it to be pretty bland gameplay wise. It could probably get better if I was on a mumble with a bunch of friends, but it just seemed like a run and gun, oh I died shooter.
Anyone else not think that TF2 is all it's cracked up to be?

Do you use the Desktop or the Metro versions?
|
Hey there.
I installed Windows 8 last weekend but freaked out and went back to 7 after 15 minutes. However, my hobbies and future professions depend on being on the cutting edge, so I'm giving it another shot. In fact, the more I read about how to use it, the more excited I am to go back. For example, Win+X, Win+C shortcuts.
Now, what I'm wondering is which apps you tend to use. When I installed Chrome, I got both a desktop version and a metro version. I think I'd end up using the desktop because it seems to be more flexible, but at the same time, everything about Metro looks beautiful!
I'm sure Chrome isn't the only application that has two versions, so what do you use more?

Any Iowa City taxi riders or drivers in here? If so, let me know please.
|
Do you ride in Iowa City taxis? If so, please let me know. At the request of some larger companies in town, the city is trying to implement some costly, illogical and highly anti-competitive new taxi regulations to eliminate small taxi operations. I can answer any questions and show you pertinent information regarding the regulations and industry.
I am looking for some local folks who may be concerned about honest people being put at a huge competitive disadvantage or being put out of work altogether by ineffective, illogical and anti-competitive regulation. So far we have one council member who seems to understand how important this is. Six other members seem kind of complacent to the issue and keep rubber stamping it despite public statements proving that they do not understand the taxi industry at all.
Edit: Here is a link to the current Iowa City taxi regulations which were already too long to post on reddit.

[Contest] I want to know your secrets!
|
So, I really like PostSecret, but there aren't nearly enough new ones for me to read each week.
For this contest, I'd like to know a secret of yours. Bonus points for anyone who makes theirs PostSecret style, and posts a picture of it. If you'd rather it not be seen by everybody, feel free to PM me yours (it'll only ever be viewed by me).
I would start with my secret, but it's not something I want out in the open here. If you're really curious, I'll PM it to you.
I've found that sharing a big secret, even with one other person can be very cathartic, and here is as good a place as any to share.
I'll let this contest go for at least a few days (hopefully) to give everyone who wants enter a chance.
**Edit:** In case you're not comfortable sharing a deep, dark secret (doesn't necessarily have to be one of those, though), tell me something you've been dying to say to someone, but haven't been able to for whatever reason.
