Dragonforged without killing a drake?
Nothing too significant but I was just wandering around Devilfire Grove looking for the drake that spawns there. After maybe 10 minutes, and without a fight (except some saurians), suddenly my meloirean plate and legs became dragonforged. Has this happened to anyone else? If so did it or can it cause any negative side effects?

Software engineering vs Programming, whats the difference?
Believe it or not, I cannot seem to find this on google. Well, a definite answer that is, it seems the two words are interchangeable to most but I just can't seem to see that, what does a software engineer do that a programmer does not? EDIT: forgot to mention, I'm currently in my graduating year in high school, and thinking of either going into Software engineering or enviromental engineering, so this is quite important to me reddit :)

Now that more of you have had a chance to play Fluttershy's Freeze Tag, what did you feel was imbalanced?
During the last test run, the Fluttershys were doing far better. I think that having some different players in addition to making balance adjustments really altered the gameplay and now the Fluttershys can't win by freezing everyone. Soldiers are obviously too strong. What would you guys like to see changed to make them less powerful? Self-push nerf so they can't jump as high? That would also make them lose a huge amount of mobility since they are quite slow. Block off the second floor of the keep and lower the invisible ceiling so it's inaccessible by rocket jumping? That would remove a good portion of the map considering how small it is. Thank you all for playing my little game! I look forward to your feedback. Edit: I should probably add that players were not supposed to block each other. I'm going to fix that.

Question about data/content licensing for an app
I'm currently developing my first proper Android app for a college project which identifies wildlife based on a set of characteristics you enter into a form (eg. Bird with black and grey feathers and orange legs, in woodland). The app is almost finished feature-wise (at least as a starting point) and works pretty well, but I'd like to release it when it's finished up to a reasonable standard, and I have no idea how to go about getting the data for all this (identification data saying which species has which characteristic, and also an image of each bird and a descriptive paragraph or two of text about it). I've been mainly manually lifting the images and descriptions from wikipedia/wikimedia commons, using only public domain or creative commons CC-BY-SA (or similar licenses) stuff so that I can use it in my app even if I put ads in it or something. My first question is whether that's appropriate, although I think it's allowed since I'm putting in appropriate attribution on each page the data is used. The main issue is the identification data - the characteristics of each species. Currently for testing, I've just copied a load of data from a site that has a nicely formatted info page for a lot of species, by scraping the web pages. However, I'm not sure how this data comes under licensing/copyright laws. The way I see it, I have a few options: - Get permission from a site or organisation with this data to use their data for the app, possibly share profits if there are any, or whatever. - Just scrape a site for the information (this is what I'm not sure about, legally speaking) - Manually collect the data from a number of sources (would take a lot longer, and I'm also not sure of the legal implications. If I collect the data in small chunks from many sources and collate it does that still count as copyright infringement?) I'm in the UK, if that makes a difference. I've tried to read up on this stuff but it seems rather ambiguous when it comes to matters like this. Another complicating issue is that if I want to do several types of wildlife, like birds, butterflies and flowers, then I might have to ask multiple organisations since there aren't any organisations that have enough detailed information on all of these categories at once, as far as I can tell.

Reddit, has there ever been a major movie where the "bad guys" won?
They strictly won, the good guys lost, not much room for debate. I always thought about creating a big movie where it ends with the bad guys winning, stunning the audience. No sequel where the good guys win. EDIT: NOT based off of real events, and it doesn't count if they're part of a bad organization (mafia) but are the "good guys" within them EDIT 2: The more the bad guys win by the better

What is the smelliest trees you have ever gotten?
Mine is some Pineapple Express I got a few weeks ago. I knew it was smelly so I wrapped the baggie up as tight as I could, put it in a grocery bag and wrapped that up as tight as I could, then put it in my center console(of my car). I drove with the windows down, then went to a store for five minutes(had my windows rolled back up). My car smelled like a skunk when I got back in it. At home I put it in three layers of ziplock baggies, and my room smelled of trees until I finished the bag. A week after I smoked the last of it, my drawer still smelled of trees. Although I didn't like it stinking up my room it was some good shit, crumbliest I've ever had and super smooth.

[Economics] Formalizing Asymmetric and/or Imperfect Information
How does one go about formalizing models where imperfect or asymmetric information is allowed/assumed? I am familiar with simplistic game theory situations dealing with, say, hidden valuations and the way those games play out, but my understanding of the importance of perfect information in perfect competition suggests that *any* piece of information which has even a possibility of being useful for an agent making a decision within the market, if not known by all agents, has the potential to cause havoc. It seems fairly easy, then, to formalize a situation in which the imperfection is that buyers and sellers do not know each other's valuations - but what about a situation in which , say, the buyers and sellers know each other's histories, and can thus (presumably) make some inference about valuations or preference structures? What about even weirder things like a seller knowing that a certain percentage of potential buyers will use the widget they purchase as a tool for job X, and the rest for job Y? In short, can all imperfections in information be understood in a way that can be formalized and still be tractable (and if so, how?) or do economists assume away the problematic imperfections?

Should I develop new Friendships with TBMs?
My husband and I recently left the LDS Church and our TBM friends have suddenly become nonexistent (no surprise). The problem is that for me that means no friends. I was excited tonight when I took my kids to the library and made a new friend. Naturally I came home and looked her up on facebook and what do you know she’s Mormon. Is it a good idea to pursue a friendship? I worry that things might be weird if she brings up church, but she wanted to be my friend before she knew my religious views so what do you think? edit:Do you think I should tell her that I used to be Mormon up front or only if it comes up? My husband thinks that after seeing how old used-to-be friends reacted that I should tell her up front, but I don't know?

1 week into r/loseit; already feeling better. Anyone else notice this?
38/M/6'4"/353lb. I have been counting calories and eating better for about a week now. I have lost a couple of pounds but I noticed something better than that... ...after just a week of eating better, I feel better. I'd guess that part of it is actually related to the quality (or non-crapness) of what I have been eating, but I think another (significant) part of it is, I feel good because I know that i'm doing something good for myself. It's a great feeling, and one that anyone can look forward to just days after starting to make a change. Know what I mean? Have you experienced this?

Am I nuts? I want a project car, but I also want to convert it to run on CNG.
Has anyone had any experience with projects of this type before? I've been looking at starting up a project car now that I'm finishing up with grad school, was looking into getting a late 70s roadster, or something kind of classy for the summer. I've been seeing more and more CNG fleet vehicles on the roads lately, there's actually a few filling stations near my house that offer CNG at the pump as well. Has anyone had any experience doing something like this? Even just a traditional CNG conversion for a road car. Am I going to be getting myself in over my head? Looks like you can get a CNG conversion kit for a naturally aspirated older engine for about $700ish, plus the cost of a tank. Total project budget would be under $4k including the car, and I'm willing to do all the work, and teach myself how to do all the work myself. Any advice, resources, etc would be appreciated.

Personally, to me, when I first heard it it struck me as being counter to the rest of the RNC message. It brought to mind images of all the things America as a whole, including the government, built rather than the entrepreneurial spirit that has been touted everywhere else in the campaign. It seems more like the kind of slogan I'd expect from the DNC. What do you think?

There is no packet loss to our router, and service works smooth when it's up. CenturyLink claims the service is staying active. We've tried 3 routers, same result with each. Any ideas?! Thanks!

Batman Arkham City won't run in Stereoscopic 3D no matter what I do.
I have an nvidia GTX 560Ti, and I can run Crysis 2 on 3D without a problem. I bought Batman AC specifically to try with my new 3DTV, but it's not running. I can run the game just fine without it, but I can't seem to run it in 3D. I don't really understand why this isn't working because all I had to do with Crysis 2 was go into the 3D options menu, turn on 3D and set my TV to 3D mode. I've tried changing the resolution to 1980x1080 24hz which is apparently 3D friendly, but it still doesn't work, and all of my google results have shown people having this same problem and not being answered. It's been a few days since I tried doing this, so I can't remember all the details, so I'm willing to take any suggestions if I can just get this thing running in 3D.

We both never (ever) considered a triad, but I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there who formed one and if it was successful. We also wouldn't dream of "stealing' him from his partner, and if it were to happen, we would all need to be on the same page about what we want.

Just diagnosed with Hormonal Imbalance, need advice.
First of all I want to say what an awesome subreddit! Also, I apologize if this isn't the right place for it, but I don't have a lot of women in my life I can speak with, let alone know what to do. I've been on birth control since I've been 15 years old (currently 21) due to an extremely heavy and painful period. Through out the years I've never had any real issues, other than the estrogen being too strong in one brand it making me physically sick. I switched to YAZ about 2 years ago to help treat acne (never seems to go away) and I seemed to take YAZ well. Only until recently did I start to feel tired, moody, body weight increased quite a bit, and over all sad. I saw a doctor about my acne again since I require a topical cream to help get rid of it, and she informed me that it's because of a hormonal imbalance. She prescribed me the cream and that was it. After I spoke to my mother, she told me to get my thyroid tested, since she has been diagnosed with thyroid problems (along with my aunt on my fathers side). I have another doctors appointment to get tested, but since my doctor never gave me any options or advice when I asked about how to handle it, I thought I'd see if anyone else has experienced these symptoms from hormonal imbalance. Fatigue, skin problems or acne, mood swings, weight problems, diminished sex drive, and no memory. I eat fairly healthy and have changed the way I eat recently to eat more vegetables/fruits and exercise about 5 times a week for an hour. My acne is being treated by my prescription cream. My main concerns are on my diminished sex drive and mood swings because they effect my poor boyfriend just as much. Weight gain as well, since it's been effecting my self esteem (I know it shouldn't but I have gained 5-10lbs) Any advice? What did you do?

I just started Assassin's Creed 2 after finishing Assassin's Creed 1, and my first thought was "Holy shit they butchered the character of Lucy."
Throughout Assassin's Creed I it was made very clear that Lucy and Desmond had a purely professional relationship. At the opening of Assassin's Creed II, not only is she wearing a considerably less professional and more provocative outfit, but it takes her all of 10 minutes to kiss Desmond. As if that were not enough, all we had heard from her in the previous game regarding her allegiance to Abstergo was "If there is anything I've learned working here, it's that there are no 'bad guys'." Now, in Assassin's Creed II, she willingly kills Abstergo employees and possesses a blatant disregard for Abstergo property. On a somewhat related note, I am rather disliking how much they toned down the moral greyness in Assassin's Creed 2; provocative thought is a beautiful thing, so why cut back on it?

Day 2 of no nicotine what-so-ever! Tingling in teeth/tongue-anyone else experience this?
I started on the 6th with an e-cig and smoked on that up until two days ago. I finally said to myself, you know what? This is stupid. I'm just going to stop using this. And I did! I'm proud of myself and the cravings aren't that bad. I don't think I could have stopped without the transition of the e-cig, though. It made it a lot easier for me than cold turkey right from the get-go. The only symptom of a craving that I've been having is a lot of tingling in my front teeth and tongue.

[theory] What factors motivate the choice of resistor values in op-amp, transistor amplifier, etc. circuits? (DC-1MHz especially)
In many configurations like op-amp amplifiers, some transistor circuits, voltage dividers, etc., the value of the resistors used doesn't matter so much as the ratio of resistor values—or so the ideal lumped element model would lead you to believe. My question is: in _real_ electronics design, what factors do you need to consider when designing this kind of circuit? I know that's broad, so my primary interest is with op-amp amplifier circuits, although if you have anything else you'd like to mention, feel free to!—I'm looking for information in general. I mostly work from DC to audio frequencies, some work in the few hundreds of kilohertz, but I'm also interested in hearing about this going into microwave range. The only things I can think of are power considerations (smaller resistors = larger currents), DC voltage offset on the op-amp, and input/output impedance (although I'm not sure of the significance—only max power transfer theorem and loading?). Also, as an extension, what about filters? Say, a simple first-order RC high- or low-pass filter, or a Sallen-Key filter, where you similarly have ratios between capacitances and/or resistances. Thanks for reading!

I think I figured out the purpose of Louis character. He is the Copycat Bay Harbor Butcher. Dexter has solidified Doakes as the original. Now Laguerta's only lead is a blood slide at a crime scene, which she know is not public information. Louis was an intern that stole the Ice Truck Killer files that Masuka can testify for. This also proves he was in the evidence room. He was creating a video game about serial killers. He also hated Dexter which Jamie and a video blog can prove. The icing on the cake is that he is dead and to never be found which puts Laguerta on a ghost hunt.

A genie appears and I'm speechless. He has offered me a wish to be granted, anything I can think off will come true. And yet I can't think of anything. He offers his help with suggestions. "Would you like a million dollars?" he asks. *To buy what? A nice car in the garage won't make this bed any better.* "I could find your love and get you married." *What a pain in the ass, having to go on family dinners twice as much.* "What about a beautiful porn star to realize any sexual desires you have?" *I'm not in the mood for that, and I haven't been for a week either.* "Then what about a party with your friends then?" *To have to spend 6 hours pretending to enjoy myself? No thanks.* "A hug from someone close to you?" *There's no one who could hug me and it would feel genuine.* "The more basic needs then, a good night's sleep or a tasty chef cooked meal?" *I've already slept as much as possible and this bag of chips does just fine.* He thinks for a minute. "Would you like to get rid of this void you're feeling?" *Getting rid of this void won't make my life any better. I'm a failure at everything.

[26/f] Promised my boyfriend (27/m) a 3some, found out he Cheated, I don't feel comfortable doing it anymore. Im down with 3somes. But now Im worried If I do it that he will sleep with the other woman when I'm gone ?? Should I still keep my promise or should I take the promise back now?
My boyfriend and I have been together for a very long time at least 6 years. And for a long time I kept my secret that I had two 3somes before while I was in University. And I eventually told him about it, and he said he wanted to have one with me and another girl that I can pick. I said sure at first because Im Bi anyways, but recently I had found out that he cheated on me about 2 years ago. I did forgive him, because I love him very much and I know he only did it with that one girl and he told me he regretted it. But now that I know this, I am not as confident as I used to be. I am very insecure about myself now. And I am scared now that If I go ahead with the threesome, he might go behind my back and try to sleep with the other girl I end up picking for it. I tried to talk to him about it, and told him that maybe for the first time we have one together maybe he can just watch and only touch me to get me comfortable with the idea. But now that he knows I was willing to have one he just wants it all. He wants to be able to e with both girls, rather then letting me get comfortable with the idea at first. So this is my dilemma, I dont know if I should just throw the 3some option right off the table until I feel that our relationship is back to being strong and I know for sure he won't do anything to hurt me. Or to keep my promise to him and continue with the 3some just to make him happy? What should I do reddit??? tl;dr::: I offered my man a 3some, Found out that he cheated on me 2 years ago with one girl, he regretted it. Now i dont know If i should continue with the 3some or not, because I want to be 100% sure our relationship is solid before we do it.

I just called the police on my father. Did I do the right thing?
My father and I have been having a spat. Don't really want to go into it but he is depressed and I am being insensitive. Horrible I know. I live a couple hundred miles away. He sent me a very morbid email and I quickly tried calling his phone and kept at it but no answer. He lives alone. I have a few cousin that live closer to him but instead I called the police in his area to go check on him. I just thought who can get to him faster. Did I do the right thing? I hope he doesn't do anything horrible but I don't want him to be even more mad at me. Update: He texted. He is madder than hell at me now. Tried to explain that he can not even elude to death without getting a quick jump to action. He wants to get a rise from me. I guess he got more of a reaction than he expected.

Help with ANSYS - Structure not constrained enough..
So... I'm having trouble with ansys. I'm trying to use LINK8 (3d uniaxial tension/compression member) to modle a structure and whenever I go to solve, ANSYS keeps barfing on me that the structure is underconstrained (*check for an insufficiently constrained model*). I've reduced the structure to just 2 element & 3 nodes. 2 of the nodes are fixed (ux=uy=uz=0) and a force acts on the 3rd node. The structure is definitely constrained in this case. /CLEAR /FILNAME,Frame1 /title, Frame1 /prep7 et, 1, link8 ! (1D linkin 3D space) mp, ex, 1, 30E6 !

Boyfriend Withdraws Completely if We Have Argument
I (24 f) am in a long distance relationship with my bf (25) of 1.6 years. Every time we have an argument he completely withdraws. He will answer my texts with one word to few words, mainly "ok". He will go out. If I send him a picture of me on email or a funny thing I saw on reddit he won't even respond. What happened yesterday... Yesterday morning I sent my bf a message saying I am stressed out and I am getting my period (sorry guys!) so I am really sensitive. We got in a stupid argument about who wrote this one essay and we started being really rude to each other. Then I said "I think we shouldn't talk for a week because we are being so mean to each other and this isn't us. I love you but this is not good what we are doing." I think I overreacted and should have said "lets talk tomorrow" but PMS causes strong emotions. Anyway now he isn't talking to me after I apologized and said I overreacted. He has withdrawn and is going out to bars/clubs. Is this normal? Healthy? I hate that any time we have an argument he acts like he doesn't care at all about us. Any advice? tl;dr Boyfriend completely withdraws every time we have a little argument

Budget Acne Guide For Oily Skin And Cystic Acne
Hey there, Reddit! I had really bad acne throughout all of high school. It was terrible for me. My senior year, I went to see a dermatologist, and a year later, I have been acne free for over three months! Not a single breakout. I've been to the dermatologist plenty over the past year, and I'd like to share with you all what I've learned. Acne is not something that anybody should have to live with. That's why I've put together this guide, with the help of my dermatologist. Just because you can't afford a dermatologist or expensive medication, doesn't mean you can't get the same results! If you have oily skin and suffer from acne, odds are your biggest problems come from those buggers underneath the skin. This is the same problem I had. The acne is forming because the oil, combined with dead skin cells, cause infections. The solution is to exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! You want to speed up cell turnover on your face. Here's how to do it, really cheap. 1. Use a St. Ives or generic peach apricot scrub as a cleanser, such as this one: When you wash your face, scrub for 2-3 minutes with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel. ALWAYS use a clean towel. I use paper towels to dry my face because they are always clean and convenient. 2. Now that the dead skin cells are gone, the next step is to get rid of the acne causing bacteria. Facial cleansers do not get rid of bacteria. This is why dermatologists prescribe antibiotics and antibacterial face washes and lotions! However, there is a very cheap alternative, which is tea tree oil. This is very cheap: What you want to do is mix 1 part tea tree oil with 6 parts water. Put the mixture in a container or something. After you wash your face with the scrub, grab a clean cotton ball and spread the tea tree oil mixture over your face. Let it dry. The tea tree oil kills bacteria and controls your skins oil production! 3. Moisturize. Always moisturize. Moisturizing will help control the oil production on your face. In the morning use an SPF 15 sunscreen such as this one or its generic brand: Be generous. The ingredients in sunscreen not only protect your skin, but give your face a matte finish which controls shine and oil on your face. It's also won't clog your pores! At night, use a moisturizer that contains salicylic acid, such as this one: Salicylic acid is great at night because it will continue to speed cell production. 4. Never, ever, ever touch your face. This is critical! With oily skin, one touch, even from scratching, can spread bacteria to your face and it will seep into your pore and cause a breakout! Don't wipe your face with your hand, and don't even scratch your face. If you must touch your face, wash your hands first, or use a kleenex/paper towel as a barrier. It sounds a little extreme, but it is very important. So there you have it! With those 4 products, you can simulate everything a dermatologist would prescribe to you, at a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the cost. Just be sure to do this day and night. It works so well, I don't even purchase my expensive prescriptions anymore! Where to find: Peach apricot scrub at any Walgreens or Target. Tea tree oil at any Whole Foods or Trader Joes. Check the organic section of your supermarket. Or just order it online. SPF 15 moisturizer at any Walgreens or Target. Salicylic acid moisturizer at any Walgreens or Target.

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this normal? In other news, I love this corn cob, as I've never smoked a sweeter, more bright/brilliant smoke than on my cob! ME GUSTA.

Finding petite bra sizes in a store
I'm a 21 year old female. Previous I had only read bra reading sites that said that you should add two inches to your measured band size. Because of that I thought I was 32 A/B. After reading on this subreddit that this is outdated info and remeasuring myself I've discovered that I am a 30 C/D (my breasts have also grown noticeable amount in this time). I've seen a lot of internet sites that sell these bras and even some that have ones that are a reasonably prices and $70 for a single bra. However, I'm not comfortable with buying clothes on the internet since they rarely fit and am even more skeptical of buying bras online. Does anyone know of store or chain that sells petite bras that I can go to and try on bras. I live near Minneapolis and will be spending quite a bit of time in Chicago this break if anyone knows of a non-chain with reasonably priced bras, but I am definitely not opposed to shopping at large chains if they carry my size. Thank you for all your help!

How Destroy could have been the Victorious and Uplifting ending to the series...
After playing through the EC, I realized they missed a huge opportunity on the high EMS Destroy ending. Imagine if they had done this: After the funeral scene and the fly-away, they go to a scene where they are surveying the wreckage of the Citadel. Everyone's searching for Shepard (probably a short time-elapsed montage of this) but to no avail. Finally, when they've just about given up, the smallest of movements catches their eye. Then the scene plays out almost just like this with a very injured, but very much alive Shepard hobbling out of the rubble... not as confidently as in ME1, but emerging nonetheless, with a large battered smile on his face, as the ending music "From the Wreckage" swells, and he exits the screen, cutting to black and the credits. How awesome would it have been to be able to bookend the series like that? I'd say to even use the same "From The Wreckage" track from ME1 just to really bring home the feels. If I had gotten this, I would've fucking stood up and cheered at my computer. And just like ME1, they could've made the love interest be the one who they do a close-up of, shaking their head slowly as they **think** Shepard might actually be dead, right before he triumphantly emerges.

Adult Japanese Immersion Weekend?
I have been toying with the idea of setting up a weekend for adults in Chicago who want to learn Japanese. Essentially it would be a 2 day 1 night event at a hotel that would force people to speak Japanese to other learners of the language and native Japanese speakers. We would have a couple meals included and activities that facilitate conversation. So I have a couple questions for you: !.) Would you be interested in doing this if it was available (if it was in your city)? 2.) How much would you be willing to pay? 3.) What would be one activity/thing you would like to see if you did come? 4.) What would be one activity/thing that could make it lame? Please ask if you have any questions.

[Idea] Trails/Markers (to every location)
Yes, I am an explorer, but I never liked the idea that you either have to find a map online, get the coordinates to, or get a map mod to find all the various locations in Minez. Most people are to lazy to do this. My theroy is that if you have markers (1-wide broken-down trails, sign posts, rocks, vines on trees, etc.) to every structure/place of interest, people will spread out from the coast. That way spawn bandits won't be that much of a problem. For instance, people always go to Yawpton, the logging camp, and Whitehaven because there are trails to those locations. I think people are afraid to leave sight of structures unprepared b/c they think they will get killed by zombies/bandits. So they tend to stay near the coast till they're ready, often becoming bandits. Do you think this is a good idea developers? I seriously think this should be added, even if it's only partial used. Please give this some serious thought.

This may sound like a silly question: 1080 downloads from Itunes: why can't I play them on my computer?
My monitor's native resolution is 1900x1200. Until the new Ipad came out, I was using the HD downloads which I believe were 720p. Now that Itunes downloads both 720 and 1080, I get a message telling me that the 1080 resolution is "too big" to play on my machine. What? I would understand if it didn't play at the monitor's native resolution, but can someone explain why this doesn't work, how much better it would look and if there is some way to make it work? I would assume that 1080 would be closer to the monitor's native res than 720, so I don't get it. If I set my monitor to 1900x1080, I'm messing up the native resolution and also the aspect ratio....or is the latter the problem? I appreciate someone educating me on this and also hopefully explaining how to fix it.

Neighbors downstairs smoke in their bathroom, smell comes up and makes my apartment reek.
I posted here because I didn't know where else to. I used to smoke weed, but don't anymore. I'm 16 years old, alone at home while my mom is at work, and I started to notice the faint smell of weed coming from my bathroom. I walked over to my bathroom, and smell was very strong. A few moments later, I hear my neighbors in the apartment below me turn their fan on, and the smell becomes incredibly strong and almost overwhelming. It's now all over my apartment. This obviously means that my neighbors are smoking in their bathroom. I have no problem with them smoking weed, but I'm worried my mom will come home and smell it, and think that it's me. It's been like 45 minutes and my bathroom still reeks, and my apartment still faintly smell. What should I do?

Marshall is fine. [Explanation of WK 2 game from someone unqualified.]
If you didn't notice he was doubled all game, and Cutler didn't even so much as try to get the ball to him until his confidence was shot. Going into half time I think Marshall had 1 target, and granted he should've hauled it in but you can't expect much from 1 target. 95% of receivers who get 1 target and manage the catch get about 8 yards I would say, Marshall's chance was rare. I didn't watch the second half but I assume it pretty much went the same way only he got 3 to 5 targets with 2 grabs for 24 yards. Most people will be smart and realize this was 80 percent Cutlers and the efficiency of that GB Defense but 20 of it still falls on Marshall who seemed checked out a bit until the dropped TD pass. In my opinion he'll be fine and is still a guaranteed start next week especially against the Rams. Only way I don't start him is if either gets Nate Washington or Robert Meachem get 120 yds and 2 scores on 16 catches out of 25 targets or something. I'm probably at a loss this week seeing as his Bears D managed 9 pts vs my #1 WRs 2 but the first week DeAngelo put up 0 pts and I managed a win so we'll see. Also always willing to give advice to anyone who needs it just post to one of my post with the question!

Plex crashes back to the media list when seeking and attempting to resume playback from where i left off. The devs on the plexapp.com forums are saying its a cm10 issue and aren't going to d anything about it. What can we do as a community to get these compatibility issues sorted out? Most roms now are based off of cm10, so they're all going to have the same issues, which is a huge problem.

Insane amount of trub in kettle after first AG batch...
So yesterday I got to have a go at my first all grain brew. I used some advice from a post a week or so back to formulate my recipe. The thing that concerned me was the gratuitous amount of hop particles and hot/cold break in my kettle as i was racking over. I didn't get my wort chiller until today, so I chilled it down in an ice bath (as I always have) in just under an hour. After I tried whirl-pooling the wort and using my auto-siphon to transfer to my carboy I realized that firstly the whirl-pool didn't create any sort of mountain of trub to siphon around, and secondly that there was an ungodly amount of trub at the bottom, like 4-5 inches deep. The only things that I can really think would have affected this would be the 1) my stainless steel braid is fucked up and let too many grain particles through, 2) that when vorlaufing I didn't circulate enough wort through the grain bed to filter (I ran off like a gallon each time I vorlaufed though, and it never really seemed to run "clear", more like less cloudy), or 3) this is just something to deal with in AG brewing (least likely after reading a lot on the subject). I did manage to strain the trub through some boiled mesh nylon bags and another sanitized filter, and gather just under my target of 5 gallons of wort to pitch my yeast into. However, I'm fairly sure that this isn't a normal occurance, and would like to have an idea of what caused this issue. Thanks in advance, and sorry for the longish post.

What is the difference in revenue generation for Google and Facebook?
I've read people are skeptical of Facebook's ability to generate revenue because it is basically based on offering ads. Isn't that what google does? The only difference I see is that people spend more time actually looking at facebook, as opposed to google where they quickly search and then click on the link they are interested in. Anyone care to enlighten me?

WHY is it called fingering weight yarn?
I have spent the past while on the Googles, and I cannot answer this question. I even found a blog post explaining all the other names, and the blogger admitted to having no idea as to why it's called fingering weight! Does anyone know the answer? If not, what is your current best speculation? Mine is that it's derived from it being a good weight from which to make gloves...

Somehow I've never been able to understand the seeming disparity of probability of individual events vs. probability of sequential events. Can anybody please explain this to me?
Example: You flip a coin 5 times. Each individual flip has a ~50% chance of landing on heads. If you flip the coin 4 individual times and get 4 heads, that does not influence the outcome of the 5th coin flip when you look at the 5th flip as its own independent event. This makes sense, and this is the "right answer" to the question of what the odds are of the 5th coin landing on heads. *However*, if you look at the probability of flipping 5 heads in a row, the chances of that ever happening are very low (0.5^5, right?). When taken as a sequence of events, wouldn't that somehow decrease the probability of the 5th flip landing on heads? If not, what is that 0.5^5 number describing in practical terms? Why do we look at individual events and not sequences of events for probability? How is one to actually practically apply probabilities of sequences to real life? Apologies for what is probably a really basic and stupid questions. For some idiot reason I've never understood how to reconcile what seems to me to be a disconnect in statistics (similar to how my population's risk of dying of melanoma is a certain number, but *personally* it's binary--I either will or I won't).

[Discussion] Skill runes... Any of them useless?
With a long list of skill runes across the classes there are bound to be some people find entirely useless. I've heard a few people state that certain runes have little value compared to your other options. So, what runes do you guys think are useless? And what do you think would make them less useless? Also, do you think Blizzard would ever add additional runes to skills or even take some of the 'useless' or under powered runes out?(please don't let this turn into a hate fest about how Blizzard won't balance their game) Personally... the Witch doctor's Spirit Barrage rune "The Spirit is Willing" seems a little under powered to me. it basically makes the skill cost a little less than half at level 30 (as far as I've got into on the WD) There are also some WD passives that seem a little weak.

Day 10 - giant fucking blue balls
First, this is a great subreddit-- very inspirational. You guys rule! So I'm on day 10 after two attempts that each lasted five to seven days. Each reset was completely unsatisfying. This is my longest stretch without an orgasm in probably 20 years (I'm in my mid-30's), and I want to continue with nofap. However, I'm not sure my giant fucking blue balls can take it. Tried cold showers, exercise (which I do anyway), and distractions, but I really feel like I need relief. I may try to have sex but I'd like to put that off until at least day 30, maybe day 90. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

GTA4 on steam : using car mods (car packs) ?
I have GTA4 on steam and I've tried car packs but they make my game crash after a while (fatal error blah blah) I heard it may be because of cars in the "garage spots" at the safehouses. I'M just wondering if anyone had the same problem and if there's a way to make it work

What are the Capitol Towers really like?
I need to stay in Nashville over the summer and that involves only a four month apartment rental. The best option seems to be Capitol Towers. Yet, the reviews I've seen are mixed and have plenty of drama. As in, half of the reviews are the lowest rating and give these extremely bad reviews or say the good ones are management trying to up the review score. The good reviews say it's good and the bad reviews are just the same few people spiting the place for whatever reason with bad reviews. So I was wondering if you guys could give me an opinion on the place before I check it out. Going for a studio. Don't need any fancy, don't care if the exercise room isn't top notch or whatever, just want a clean place to stay for the summer.

Who is your unexpectedly badass pokemon?
I recently restarted my HG game and just caught a Tauros, thinking it would just be cool to have on my team because of it's looks, but damn it hits hard. With intimidate and very high attack, it quickly has become one of my favorite pokemon, along with Heracross. Anyway, do you have any pokemon that you thought would suck, but turned out pretty awesome?

Anyone still here for the summer?
Basically my room mate and I are going to be staying here for 99.99% of the summer because job and with mostly everyone leaving or gone already is it going to be a boring 3 months. So will any one else be stuck here with us? If so are you up to hang out, go drinking, even partake, maybe play a few vida games? If not, have an awesome summer!
