silentmattcanuck | On route to London from Peterborough, Canada.. Dead of winter at a truck stop.. Mom, my brother and I (we were 12 and 14 respectively).. in the big ole family station wagon. Strangely enough, we were just talking about hitchhikers and how our then-stepdad had talked about picking them up with no qualms.. we were buckling up after filling the car, just about to leave when suddenly a big hand in woolly gloves knocked on the drivers side window.. We all screamed.
A large bearded man appeared and apologized profusely for scaring us, and desperately asked for a lift to Oshawa, just down the highway.
His car had broken down and he only wanted to get home to his family.
Again, he apologized for startling us, as we told him we needed a minute. Up went the window. Do we do this? What if he's an axe murderer? Bro and I can take him. No you can not. But seriously. What would *stepdad* say if he found out? Well HE did it. This'll show HIM.
Or something to that effect and that somehow settled it. Sure, hop on in sir! And with tears in his eyes, he got in the back seat with my brother, and off we went. Turns out he was a nice enough guy. He showed us pictures of his little girl and wife in his wallet, and tried to give us some money for gas. Mom wouldn't take it and said it was ok.
We took the exit into Oshawa, and he gave us directions to his house,
and there was his little girl in the window as we pulled into the driveway. Again, Mom said no thanks to the money he tried to give us with tears in his eyes. And, with a God-Bless, he was out the door, and reuniting with his family.
Stepdad hit the roof later when he found out. "Do as I say, not as I do", was how it pretty much settled. And in retrospect, that was one of the more daring and reckless things we'd done as a family, but thankfully it turned out well.

richieg7777 | Remember that the turtles were born out of pollution; children of the ooze. In fact, there's a lot of pollution in the TMNT universe and this might come down to the environment (haha - get it?)
If the Turtles hold New York City, the only person who can match their knowledge of the layout is Wheeler since he's from Brooklyn. Turtles know the surface and the sewers below. No doubt they could get the jump on the Planeteers.
TMNT vehicles are built for combat and hit and runs. Planeteer vehicles are meant to release no pollution
The Planeteers themselves are frequently tied up and separate often for their own goals but work very well in groups of 2-4, as they combine powers to for elemental attacks (such as fire and wind). However, as both teenagers and defenders of good, they're going to be unwilling to use area effect attacks because it will risk the lives of innocents around them in the city. I'd say Kwami has the potential for the most destruction by moving the ground below and destabilizing structures around him. Not to mention probably causing a lot of collateral damage. The Planeteers have also never killed anyone. Their combat skills are pretty low.
But this is all 5 Planeteers. When all 5 are assembled they pretty much always summon Captain Planet. Planet's stats are way beyond the turtles and can surely defeat them out in the open in daylight. As long as the sun is shining, he recharges health no problem. No doubt the Turtles would run back to the sewers. *If Captain Planet pursues:*
Sewage and waste are CP's #1 weakness. All it takes is a decent ooze-filled barrel trap falling on CP to bring him down a couple pegs. And we've seen that the NYC sewers are rampant with pollution in both series. Tight spaces, rapid 4 turtle beatdown on a weakened Planet? Hmm...
**Tl;dr: TMNT better chance in urban environment, CP sweeps other rounds.** | Remember that the turtles were born out of pollution; children of the ooze. In fact, there's a lot of pollution in the TMNT universe and this might come down to the environment (haha - get it?)

lunapo | > is if it's ethical
Not really. If you're signing a document stating to the lender the home is your primary residence, then you are committing to it being so. FHA Notes do require it be your primary residence for 1 year, after which you can do whatever you want. Conventional Notes depends on the Lender's terms.
> or legal
Technically, it may be possible to prove you 'changed your mind' about making the home your primary residence, and yes people do it. But if you were questioned or sued by the lender for Fraud (a criminal offense), it might cost a significant amount of money to defend yourself, which will likely be extremely difficult since you just signed closing documents stating intention to live in the home as a primary, but the next month rented it out. You more than likely won't have a leg to stand on, particularly and especially if it is an FHA loan... in which case the government (HUD) is involved, potentially ruining your chances of ever getting traditional financing again.
TL;DR: It's do-able, but there are significant potential, even criminal, consequences. | > is if it's ethical

goslapaduck | I love her. I know I do. But she doesn't love me, i plan on telling her, but she won't care. I love her because of how nice she is, the shannigans we've been up to, the amount of time we've spent E.t.c. She's interested in other people, where as she's my center of thought. I wake up and the first thing I think about is her, and the last thing I think about is her. She wakes up and thinks about him, or that other guy...and ends up thinking about them.

Dozer12118 | Came home from work ~7am, walked my dog and got a good buzz on while my cat just stared at me like a prick. I think he wanted some of my scotch. I then went to bed and slept relatively well while my dog was spooning with me (he loves that). Woke up around 530, walked the dog again while cursing the cold weather and went to work where i am right now hoping to stay inside and warm. Plus some of the guys brought in pies that their wives made so that's awesome...

gaveuponusername | Since you have MS as well, you kcal needs can be different from an average person. I would try to book an appointment with an RD and explain what's happening. They will have a better idea of the side affects of medications, the contraindications and how to integrate your dietary needs with your medication.
Appointments can be expensive but if you have a local university with an RD program they may suggest better alternatives.
Also remember that yogurt with granola and a fruit is has all the components mentioned. I like to mix fruit and peanut butter in oatmeal for a balanced breakfast. Has protein, fat, sugars and fiber.

massive_muqran | The Nationalist and Labour parties stem back from the time when Malta was British colony. The Nationalist Party (PN) was formed by a group of Maltese who felt that Malta was spiritually Italian. Their battlecry was the opposition of the Anglicization of Malta by the British. The PN had the support of many of the older, richer families who were themselves of Italian descent. The Labour party was formed from a labour union of government workers under the British government. Originally, the supporters were pro-British, blue collar workers and was always proudly "anti-intellectual".
Around the time of Malta's independence Malta had a healthy democracy. However, the political landscape was destroyed when Labour's Mintoff came into power in 1971. After failing to get Malta integrated with the UK, he started advocating isolationist ideals, claiming that the West was no friend of Malta, and looking towards the likes of Gaddafi, Caucescu and Kim il sung to fund the social reforms which he greatly desired for Malta. He also bled every cent he could out of the small middle class, creating a massive brain drain. He set up a control economy for Malta, with prices of everything fixed. While Malta had excellent social services, everything else was razed to the ground. What's worse: over 50% of Malta was working in the public sector! Talk about unsustainable.
The political landscape was polarised: lower classes that benefiting Labour's policies would vote Labour for life. Those snubbed by Labour would vote PN. In the middle were those few genuine thinkers, and many opportunists. No other parties were relevant. Entire families were labelled by their political colour, and that would determine whether they would get that job, or whether you would get that operation you need, or that building permit.
Eventually, the Labour party fell out of favour. Not for the disastrous foreign policy, but due to internal wrangling in the party. In ~~1984~~1987 the Nationalist party won the election. However, political clientelism remained, just as bad as it ever was, and under that thin veneer of first-worldedness you'll find the Sicilian Mafia mentality of "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours".
Somehow they managed to get re-elected for 25 years. Now, in 2013, Labour are back in power, and after the initial relief of seeing new faces in charge, naive fools like me are realising that the shameless cronyism and corruption is still as strong as ever. We're now part of the EU, and while we should be more empowered than ever, it seems we're no more intelligent. Forget talking political ideology, long term plans for the country, we're going to haggle over whether the price of electricity goes down by 10 euros, or whether kids should be given free ipads at school.
*TLDR: Politics in Malta: two cheeks of the same arse.*
P.S. Sorry for the rant.

joeyliu | square-enix online store is run by digital river which in my opinion is the worst online commerce system i've ever used. I preordered the PS3 version of hitman absolution and several music CDs from their site a year or two ago. The game should have came with a preorder bonus but not only did i not get the bonus but it i got the xbox 360 version of the game and none of the music CDs. Looking over the shipment receipt, it clearly says ps3 version but no mention of any other items. All the items showed up on my initial receipt but i was not charged for anything other than the game. Tried contacting Square Enix support but they shifted blame on digital river and digital river support had no idea what i was talking about so i just cut my losses and sold the game to a friend.
TLDR: made an order from SqueEnix store which got the order wrong in every possible way, then customer support did nothing to help. | square-enix online store is run by digital river which in my opinion is the worst online commerce system i've ever used.

Looking over the shipment receipt, it clearly says ps3 version but no mention of any other items. All the items showed up on my initial receipt but i was not charged for anything other than the game. Tried contacting Square Enix support but they shifted blame on digital river and digital river support had no idea what i was talking about so i just cut my losses and sold the game to a friend. | made an order from SqueEnix store which got the order wrong in every possible way, then customer support did nothing to help. |
the_drew | Because there is no international legal consensus on what constitutes piracy.
All countries seem to agree that piracy is the act of breaking any DRM on a file, some organisations want people in possession of pirated files to be considered piracy but I am not aware that has been ratified anywhere.
Most police forces have to prove that any pirated files on my computer were put there by me, and not by someone with a vendetta against me, which is almost impossible to prove unless my wifi has a password and my laptop had a biometric password (so avoid MacBooks with TouchID when it's released).
TPB don't perform the act of breaking DRM, they only host links to unprotected files which is why they were able to withstand legal challenges for so long, however TPB were found guilty a few years back due to American diplomatic influence being so successful at getting foreign countries to act according to their political will (Wikileaks show the US Ambassador to Sweden threatening the Prime Minister with trade sanctions if the TPB matter was not taken more seriously).
But as the Snowden files show, the more abusive governments and industries are towards consumers, the more sophisticated consumers become at using products like VPNs, anonymizers and encryption to drive their behaviour underground.
TLDR: International law hasn't agreed what piracy is. | Because there is no international legal consensus on what constitutes piracy.

DMVman | I pre-ordered it, and i wished i hadn't. Since then I have vowed it is the last game I will ever buy with an EA label. My experience was so disappointing that I wont support any game that EA pushes out. The game was clearly still in beta, was not tested properly, the simulation is not real at all, no to mention many other bugs that made the game unplayable. Honestly If the game was 20 dollars, I still would not buy it now. The sub par game play plus the fact that they are more focused on DLC content then bug fixes or recoding shows me exactly how they view their customers, stupid fat cash cows.

eurochildd | I liked the frugal fast idea and my boyfriend and I tried it out recently. It saved me from a few impulse buys, we used up a bunch of food, and ultimately saved hundreds of dollars. It's also fun to think of free ways to solve a problem or reuse/repurpose things you already have. We made a pact to keep doing it, except we will not cross certain lines. For example, we both refuse to go into a business and haggle prices; that will fly in farmer's markets and swap meets, but not in a place where the price is assumed to be non-negotiable (in this episode, he haggles with the butcher.)
Overall, this show is full of great money-saving advice, as long as you see your frugality as your own lifestyle choice that should not be imposed on anyone else. It's not the butcher's responsibility to lower their prices because you only want to spend $7; it's your responsibility to find a way to find a meal for only $7. Otherwise, I was totally on board with everything in that episode.
tl;dr: Highly recommend the "frugal fast," with some limitations based on principles.
Edit: About haggling: Actually, after thinking for like 2 seconds, I agree that haggling with a butcher doesn't really cross a line. My grandmother used to get less desirable fish parts for free just for asking (this was in a college town in Maryland, where fresh fish are plentiful and the general population would never even touch a fish head). Others in this thread have discussed the social context in which haggling is okay, and I'm usually not in that situation. This show does have some examples of when you should absolutely *not* haggle, and *that* is a line I won't cross. | I liked the frugal fast idea and my boyfriend and I tried it out recently.

neo_nomad | The inaccuracy of painting the extreme of perfect white 76 yr old grandma who just wanted to play bingo against the black thugs who only exist to ruin lives. I guess it was mostly the comments that really nailed it for me. Grandma was breaking the law does not equal deserved to get robbed. And the thug trash that tried to rob her were black. But I guess the comments are what really turned it into lynch mob against blacks bc they attacked grandma whitey. Which tainted the whole article. Trash is trash no matter the color. And they are only trash until they make a decision to be upstanding. It boils down to the fact that I can't stand the unforgiving, closed minded, blind hatred generalization mindset types...

littleowl2 | I saw the Hatted Man consistently starting when I was around 11 or 12 for about a year or two. He was always standing at my bedroom door on the threshold, never crossed it, and he was always just watching me. The first time I saw him I was pretty freaked out, it was one of the first times I had ever experienced anything that could be deemed "paranormal". I had two pet rats at the time and I had gone to bed but was having trouble sleeping as they were making more noise then usual. I sat up to check on them and then I saw the Shadow Man standing in the doorway. The room and the connecting hallway were dark, but he was even darker. He had no visible features but I could tell he was wearing a hat and possibly some kind of coat. I freaked the fuck out internally, but externally I just lay back down, shut my eyes, and started thinking about how badly I just wanted him to go away. After a few minutes I opened my eyes to see if he was still there and he was gone. Over the next months I saw him fairly consistently or at least felt his presence, usually only at night and only ever in my house, and I began to think of him as a kind of guardian or something, watching over me while I was sleeping. Half of me thought that maybe I had imagined the whole thing, until my brother told me that he had seen the Shadow Man too, standing in my doorway watching me. The bathroom in our house was just off the hallway that led to my room and my brother had woken up I think we figured sometime around 1 or 2 in the morning. He saw a shadowy silhouette of a person standing at my door. He was pretty groggy and thought it was me so he called out asking what I was doing. The Shadow Man turned and started walking towards him. Startled and probably scared out of his fucking mind, he started yelling for our mum, at which point the Shadow Man disappeared. My mum chalked it up to sleep walking or a nightmare and put him back to bed. The next day at dinner my mum mentioned that my brother had been sleepwalking which led to him telling the story and my subsequent holy shit moment when it was confirmed that I was not just imagining this. And there is my story! Feel free to PM me or comment if you have any questions, I'll give you as much info as I can!

average_gatsby | Climbing Hood is fairly simple compared to most other large mountains. You will need crampons and an ice axe for gear and you should go with a party, not alone. Make sure you practice self-arrest/glissading/cramponing techniques beforehand.
Basically you should go earrrly in the morning in the Spring. April/May are probably the best times to go. In the summer the snow is more melted and reveals a lot of loose rock which can be dangerous. In the winter it's just really cold and very frozen so it's hard to really dig your crampons in. Leaving in the early morning makes it so that the snow is still somewhat frozen but not too much so that you can't get any grip. Plus the sunrise view from the top of Hood is gorgeous.
TL;DR: Get crampons/ice axe/winter gear, practice safe moutaineering techniques, go with a party, go very early in the moring, go in the spring
*edit: Forgot to add: Please make sure you're in decent shape and carry a radio/shovel with you in case of emergency. Mount Hood isn't the hardest climb in the world, but it is still fairly strenuous. | Climbing Hood is fairly simple compared to most other large mountains.

robotdarwin | This is not a Far Side comic. It looks a lot like Gary Larson's work but unless this is some draft of a comic he posted it never would have made syndication or printing with the blood accompanying the bodies. In "The Prehistory of the Far Side" he talks about comics not being published for way less than this, and actually sometimes way more than this. His original comic was called "Nature's Way" and was much cruder and the humor a little more violent (though not violent by any really offensive standard) than The Far Side so it could possibly be from that time period.. Also Larson always talks about his editor having to send him back strips for multiple rewrites and edits just to make it to the papers because the humor was so weird or the publishers didn't get it and thought it would disturb people.
This isn't a bad simulacrum, I kind of laughed at the reference and it reminded me of my own comics, but I don't think it is a Larson original.
TLDR: Most likely not Far Side. Also there are people like me who liked Sunday comics so much as a kid they take the time to make these posts. | This is not a Far Side comic.

NoFNway | As for my official job title I am still a Technician Level 1, so yea I am not a manager at least on paper. So about 4 month after I started as tech I was tasked with handling anything quality control related. There are only 7 people in the company at that point so I was really the only person in Quality Control. My job was to try and get our contract manufacture, at the time, to stop sucking and make sure we did not ship their mistakes on to customers. Then a nice flood took out their building with a nice chunk of our part and hardware for our product they were building. The CEO/owner said screw lets just do everything ourselves. So we moved to a bigger building hired some more people and I was told hey you are now the manager for our part production. So I spend my time trying to schedule our techs to run 24hours a day 5 days a week, figure out where the hell is our raw material, why assembly is apparently having so much trouble with our parts and demanding we re-manufacturer all half of the part we gave them when it was them doing it wrong. (Those parts are press fit for a reason and not meant to just go on by hand....hence the press that is sitting right there for you to use). So I have the responsibility of a manager and all of the blame get passed to me if our parts production falls behind or whatever the problem of the day might be, yet no job title to go with it. Also since I originally comment it is now up to 5 people that I have to manage and the reason I used the word coworker is that we all have the exact same job title, still.
TL;DR My official job title is peon,. but I get the responsibilities of manager and do the work of a manager, with the benefit of the paycheck. | As for my official job title I am still a Technician Level 1, so yea I am not a manager at least on paper.

So I spend my time trying to schedule our techs to run 24hours a day 5 days a week, figure out where the hell is our raw material, why assembly is apparently having so much trouble with our parts and demanding we re-manufacturer all half of the part we gave them when it was them doing it wrong. (Those parts are press fit for a reason and not meant to just go on by hand....hence the press that is sitting right there for you to use). So I have the responsibility of a manager and all of the blame get passed to me if our parts production falls behind or whatever the problem of the day might be, yet no job title to go with it. Also since I originally comment it is now up to 5 people that I have to manage and the reason I used the word coworker is that we all have the exact same job title, still. | My official job title is peon,. but I get the responsibilities of manager and do the work of a manager, with the benefit of the paycheck. |

Pirateviking | I had a Music teacher that would blame me for everything. She naturally sat me in the front of the class, but even if someone at the back talked, she blamed me. I once said "Hi!" (Without saying "Mrs X)to her outside of school, my dad recieved a letter where he was told to "teach his offspring manners"
But the very worst was when an overhead projector started to let out smoke. I told her, she told me to sit still and shut up, or be thrown out. Sitting in front, I could see small flames inside the projector, so naturally, I interrupted again. I was promptly thrown out of the classroom. About 2 minutes later, the door is thrown open, and Mrs. X comes out in a cloud of smoke, dragging an overhead projector engulfed in flames. I could have helped her. I didn't.
Now I have her job.

ProjectCherry | Think of it this way: what you detest is basically a group so radical and so loud (yet still a minority) that has a louder voice than level-headed feminists. Because their agendas are so radical and shocking (or stupid), the fact that they are a minority group is forgotten because of how loud they are or how much exposure they get. At the end of the day, they don't represent actual feminism at all. Sure, some basic principles may overlap, but that doesn't make them right, nor does it make them the representatives of feminism.
TL;DR - Don't hate feminism, it's great! Hate the crazies that give it a bad name. | Think of it this way: what you detest is basically a group so radical and so loud (yet still a minority) that has a louder voice than level-headed feminists.

Spodermayne | Personal story, not for or against vac btw.
So a couple of years back I went to the doctor and it was time for my tetanus and chickenpox shots. A few months later, I transferred to another school and they asked for my vaccination records. Well, the tetanus shot was recorded, the chicken pox vaccine was NOT. The old doctor's office hadn't taken proper care of their records and the nurse who gave it to me hadn't bothered to write it down. I took another pox vaccine within a year's time.
No harmful side effects, but it sure did make me have some sympathy for the anti-vaccine side. I'm told I'm more likely to get shingles and possibly earlier with over-vaccination (I don't really know, not a doctor)
The fact is, the perfect medical society that most pro-vaccination advocates think exists isn't there yet. If that shot had been live-virus or even the tetanus shot, some bad stuff could have happened. Mistakes do happen. Vaccinations aren't perfect.

safaridiscoclub | I have no problem with taxes when they're used properly and for necessities. I don't believe that the government are necessarily the most efficient providers of services. I believe in socialised healthcare and education, infrastructure we don't really have much of a choice, but not much else. We need some sort of welfare, but it should be shoestring in my opinion; why should families on welfare get £30k when a family where both parents work in a supermarket get £26k and then taxed on top of it? That doesn't make sense.
30% tax sounds fine to me, not 50% and definitely not more than half of every penny you earn. We're taxed at every turn and taxes on spending make no sense when we want to encourage spending.
Rich people often get paid a lot because someone values them so, so why should they have to give a disproportionate amount to the government because other people aren't so valuable? Why should people from Iraq/Aghanistan pay taxes to a government that are spending that money on wars on their families? Why should we expect these people to work their asses off to provide for other people? Why should we pay taxes within our arbitrary borders when there are starving people outside them?

Glitter-Herpes | That STEM subjects are the only ones that are important. It's just such a daft thing to believe.
If everyone went into studying and then working in STEM, we wouldn't have artists, police officers, firefighters, hairdressers, retail assistants, shop owners, waiters, bartenders, bus drivers. I could go on. Not to mention that it would saturate the job market, leaving a lot of STEM graduates becoming retail assistants anyway.

LaserFresh | BE CAREFUL. I did this about 6 years ago. I transferred a few thousand dollars to a new credit card for zero percent interest for a year and had a big balance. Then i made a decent purchase on the new credit card. The next month I paid off in full the item that I bought. The next month, I was getting charged interest on what I bought b/c they said that the balance transfer needs to get paid off first before any money goes toward new purchases. That resulted in me paying off the big transfer as fast as I could, negating any benefit that I would have received for this whole master plan.
TL;DR: If you do this, be sure not to use the new card for any purchases, or you will be paying whatever the interest rate is on it until you fully pay off the transferred balance. | BE CAREFUL.

adrianmonk | First off, quick minor rant: a lot of the article hinges on whether or not they broke the conditions of the bug bounty program. The author doesn't seem to respect the reader's time enough to link to the description of the bug bounty? I guess it's [this one](
That aside, on to more substantive issues. The author says, "Wait, what condition did I break?" Maybe one of these?
> Only test services which are in scope!
> Never ever try to access somebody else’s account or prezis, please always use your own account(s) for testing!
So he accessed someone else's account on a service that is not in scope.
And their email makes this abundantly clear:
> by using the credentials to log in you violated the terms and conditions of our bounty program
His argument is that he didn't log in *as a prezi user*:
> I was not testing prezi accounts themselves
Arguably, the conditions sound like they are kinda intended to cover prezi user accounts, not other user accounts, but arguably not. It's vague on that point. It doesn't specifically limit to prezi accounts. They also specifically state that other services are not in scope. What would be the most reasonable interpretation given that? If they don't want you testing things that are out of scope, and they don't want you logging in to accounts which are in scope, does that mean it's OK if you login to accounts that are out of scope? You were presumed not to be testing them anyway.
It might not technically forbidden (or it might be, depending on hair splitting interpretation), but he's arguing solely on a technicality.
And then he has the tact to be outraged and critique them for the style of writing they use in their emails:
> When replying to bugs, please refrain from any comments and be sure to keep it professional.
> Keep a consistent tone. When replying to my initial findings, the tone was positive. In the follow-up email, the tone sounded almost as if it was negative and unwarranted.
Basically, what the fuck. All of Prezi's emails were perfectly professional. They made a totally justified judgment call but were polite enough to be apologetic about it. And this guy is acting like a total condescending asshole toward them.
Then he says:
> What do you mean by a prezi account?
But THEY NEVER USE THE WORDS "prezi account". So they don't mean anything by it because it is not something they ever said. They said "somebody else's account or prezis", not "somebody else's prezi account". He is putting words in their mouth, and then trying to call them out on what those words mean. This in the same letter where he accuses *them* of being unprofessional.
While I'm on the subject, he also says:
> But just realising that it was a Maven repository which contained prezi source code
Maven repositories do not normally contain source code! They are used for storing the output of builds, i.e. binaries. It is possible to store source jars in them, but not every site does that. But he could not have verified that this particular Maven repository does contain source code because:
> Personally, I do not know the severity of what I found in the sense of the files present as all I simply did was log in to confirm the credentials worked
So his whole entire claim, that he found source code, is totally unproven. Or, he is lying about what he did with those credentials.
TL;DR: I don't think they really owed him an apology. He doesn't come off looking like the good guy here. At best, he has them on a technicality. At worst, he doesn't even have them on a technicality ("the decision to pay a reward is entirely at our discretion"), but he is trying to make it sound like he does, and using the internet to bring them bad PR until he gets his bug bounty. It's probably a wise business move for them to go ahead and pay him the bug bounty and/or it's a nice thing to do since there is a tiny amount of gray area, but the guy is being obnoxious about it. | First off, quick minor rant: a lot of the article hinges on whether or not they broke the conditions of the bug bounty program. The author doesn't seem to respect the reader's time enough to link to the description of the bug bounty? I guess it's [this one](
That aside, on to more substantive issues. The author says, "Wait, what condition did I break?" Maybe one of these?
> Only test services which are in scope!
> Never ever try to access somebody else’s account or prezis, please always use your own account(s) for testing!
So he accessed someone else's account on a service that is not in scope.
And their email makes this abundantly clear:
> by using the credentials to log in you violated the terms and conditions of our bounty program
His argument is that he didn't log in as a prezi user :
> I was not testing prezi accounts themselves
Arguably, the conditions sound like they are kinda intended to cover prezi user accounts, not other user accounts, but arguably not. It's vague on that point. It doesn't specifically limit to prezi accounts. They also specifically state that other services are not in scope. What would be the most reasonable interpretation given that? If they don't want you testing things that are out of scope, and they don't want you logging in to accounts which are in scope, does that mean it's OK if you login to accounts that are out of scope? You were presumed not to be testing them anyway.
It might not technically forbidden (or it might be, depending on hair splitting interpretation), but he's arguing solely on a technicality.
And then he has the tact to be outraged and critique them for the style of writing they use in their emails:
> When replying to bugs, please refrain from any comments and be sure to keep it professional.
> Keep a consistent tone. When replying to my initial findings, the tone was positive. In the follow-up email, the tone sounded almost as if it was negative and unwarranted.
Basically, what the fuck. All of Prezi's emails were perfectly professional. They made a totally justified judgment call but were polite enough to be apologetic about it. And this guy is acting like a total condescending asshole toward them.
Then he says:
> What do you mean by a prezi account?
But THEY NEVER USE THE WORDS "prezi account". So they don't mean anything by it because it is not something they ever said. They said "somebody else's account or prezis", not "somebody else's prezi account". He is putting words in their mouth, and then trying to call them out on what those words mean. This in the same letter where he accuses them of being unprofessional.
While I'm on the subject, he also says:
> But just realising that it was a Maven repository which contained prezi source code
Maven repositories do not normally contain source code! They are used for storing the output of builds, i.e. binaries. It is possible to store source jars in them, but not every site does that. But he could not have verified that this particular Maven repository does contain source code because:
> Personally, I do not know the severity of what I found in the sense of the files present as all I simply did was log in to confirm the credentials worked
So his whole entire claim, that he found source code, is totally unproven. Or, he is lying about what he did with those credentials.
TL;DR: I don't think they really owed him an apology. He doesn't come off looking like the good guy here. At best, he has them on a technicality. At worst, he doesn't even have them on a technicality ("the decision to pay a reward is entirely at our discretion"), but he is trying to make it sound like he does, and using the internet to bring them bad PR until he gets his bug bounty.

MemeHermetic | My biggest issue with these movies, or more accurately with the changes they make, is the arrogance it takes to look at characters where you have top writers, penning stories on a weekly basis, who create, mold and grow characters over decades until they find what makes the characters work. Then some executive producer who thinks he's the love child of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Hitchcock, up and changes key parts of the story because he or his dime a dozen script writers/editors decide they "know better".
At the end of the day, that is why the majority of comic book fans appreciate the Marvel Studios films more. They make changes to the story because you have to when changing mediums. But if you look at where most of the story comes from, there is usually a parallel right on the page. This is also true of the Nolan movies. Almost all the major plot lines have parallels from the books. Because they realized that somewhere in the decades of history of the characters, someone who worked closely with the character for years, might actually have a solid grasp on them.
So yeah. TLDR: My problem with this is the studio's arrogance. I like change, but they change all the wrong things to make a Michael Bay film and some new transformer toys. | My biggest issue with these movies, or more accurately with the changes they make, is the arrogance it takes to look at characters where you have top writers, penning stories on a weekly basis, who create, mold and grow characters over decades until they find what makes the characters work.

BlueApple4 | I had a similar game to this recently. I was playing ash with an olaf "support". He did not buy one ward the entire game (this was before preseason so no trinkets yet). Would intentionally take cs, over push the lane, and run and get himself killed. No matter what I suggested/pinged/pleaded he did not listen.
Early game was rough, but I managed to come back later in the game by just focusing on my gameplay, and focusing on not getting killed. I bought wards to farm safely, did not get in trades that I wasn't confident in getting a kill. Farmed in jungle when I couldn't get lane farm.
Was I the huge damage dealing force I was supposed to be, no. However I didn't compile the problem by feeding/dying unnesscarily.
On the reverse side don't be the adc who rages at your support who doesn't rush sightstone and build every support item under the sun. You wouldn't believe how many teammates I get who rage at me building AP Sona.
TLDR pseudo supports don't know what they are doing. Ignore and pretend the lane is a 2v1. Focus on your game and don't die.

Don't get me wrong I fucking hated the kid but that was the whole idea behind him.

blue_27 | 'Truth' is one thing, interpretation of it, is another. However, the truth remains constant. Understanding it is what can be considered fluid. I am not convinced all sciences are empirical, but they are all based on experimentation and logic.
Ahh, then if it is further clarification you are seeking, I can provide that. But, you don't get to speak for me. I can expand on most of the points I try to make.
An example of the destructive nature of religion? Umm ... sure. Let's start with the basics, like the Crusades or the Inquisition. I'll even add in the Witch Trials and any and all jihads. I blame the Dark Ages on religion, and the stifling of scientific progress in the "Civilized World". On a more subtle note, I point out the exclusivity of religion, and how it defines humans into an "us", "we", "them" set of categories, and it usually turns out that if 'they' believe in a different invisible man than 'we' do, then they are less than human, and can be killed in a wide variety of ruthless manners. Plus, we are also going to believe that they are going to burn for all of eternity in a fiery pit. But, this god loves everyone ... Approximately 100 billion humans have died in history. I am going to make an (unsustainable) assumption that religion is going to be one of the leading causes, if we were to make a pie chart regarding cause of death. From sacrifices to war, and not even getting to the fact that stem cell research should be decades ahead of where it is now. Finally, and this is what I truly hate about religion, is that it is destructive to the mind. If 97% of America's scientists are *not* religious, it is easy to see that the faithful aren't choosing careers that require that side of the brain. Imagine if people who could quote scripture could do the same with tax law, or physics/chemistry/neurology, etc. (insert anything useful). So, by that alone, they have chosen to fill their head with something that will **maybe** help their "eternal soul", but will most likely not actually help any living person, and definitely not anyone else. Religion does not work well with logic, and therefore represses it. (tl;dr religion makes people stupid and mean.)
Those are my broad examples of the destructive nature of religion. However, you have a sense that it is generally not true? ... Very well. Please refute the examples I just provided, and I will definitely give you more specific examples to follow.
And ... your example is kinda proving my point. Just because one idiot, who is following another idiot, says it's good because the first idiot said so ... doesn't make it good.

Dominuscinis | I'd have to say mine is my love of fighting. It completely conflicts with my everyday personality (normally quiet and nerdy) and ends up getting me into trouble from time to time. My first experience with fighting came when I wrestled in high school and continued into college where I now do Brazilian jujitsu. Normally I'm not much of a socialite (unless I'm with my good friends) but when I get on the mat, I turn into an absolute fiend and do everything it takes to overpower and dominate my opponent. The reason this is bad is because I've ended up injuring a lot of people who didn't deserve it. So far I think I've broken two people's arms, tore muscles in two people's legs, may have taken two people out of fighting permanently due to shoulder injury. I've also left people with weeklong sore-neck and plenty of other minor injuries. I also may or may not also be a psychopath. Not sure about that one though.

lumenation | Actually it's a process that is usually shorter. Mostly it's the validity that the money isn't meant for illegal purposes. Particularly the bitcoin phenomenon and black markets.
When you click "Submit" a lot of things happen instantly.
* Money is put into pending
* Amount is declared from paypal
* Bank system notified that transfer is incoming
* Pend against bank system to ensure account is active or available for transfer
* Bank system returns result to paypal
Usually these happen instantly. However there is a system monitoring this on both sides. If either of the systems disagree then the hold is available to be evaluated by the side that terminated the transfer.
The time mechanism is in place for these instances. It's not a button pushing event to transfer money in those circumstances. There is usually some sort of "reliable transfer" information that needs to be acquired. For instance:
* I did work for Freelancer website
* I get paid to paypal
* Money is ready for transfer to bank account and I hit "Transfer"
* Fee's declared from paypal on behalf of Gov't/Paypal/Bank
* I accept these
* Receipt is produced and money begins to pend
* Bank system verifies that the money is available and account is able to recieve
If anything fails in this timeline then the time period is applicable. Otherwise it gives the bank system and paypal system a long enough time to sort out if the money/account is not only viable, but also not declared stolen from sender etc.
Otherwise it is instant, even if you don't see it. My bank does a pending allowance. If money is pended and the source is trustworthy, like Direct deposit from a company I work for, or paypal and so on it allows me to use that money. The moment it would fail to happen is when my bank would no longer allow the account to use that allowance from that sender.
Edit: I messed some words and stuff.

| AskReddit | t5_2qh1i | cdthtuu | Actually it's a process that is usually shorter. Mostly it's the validity that the money isn't meant for illegal purposes. Particularly the bitcoin phenomenon and black markets.
When you click "Submit" a lot of things happen instantly.
Money is put into pending
Amount is declared from paypal
Bank system notified that transfer is incoming
Pend against bank system to ensure account is active or available for transfer
Bank system returns result to paypal
Usually these happen instantly. However there is a system monitoring this on both sides. If either of the systems disagree then the hold is available to be evaluated by the side that terminated the transfer.
The time mechanism is in place for these instances. It's not a button pushing event to transfer money in those circumstances. There is usually some sort of "reliable transfer" information that needs to be acquired. For instance:
I did work for Freelancer website
I get paid to paypal
Money is ready for transfer to bank account and I hit "Transfer"
Fee's declared from paypal on behalf of Gov't/Paypal/Bank
I accept these
Receipt is produced and money begins to pend
Bank system verifies that the money is available and account is able to recieve
If anything fails in this timeline then the time period is applicable. Otherwise it gives the bank system and paypal system a long enough time to sort out if the money/account is not only viable, but also not declared stolen from sender etc.
Otherwise it is instant, even if you don't see it. My bank does a pending allowance. If money is pended and the source is trustworthy, like Direct deposit from a company I work for, or paypal and so on it allows me to use that money. The moment it would fail to happen is when my bank would no longer allow the account to use that allowance from that sender.

wilyquixote | I watched THE BIRDS a few years ago with my then-girlfriend and her kids. It was part of an initiative to improve our cultural awareness. They were watching a lot of crap and I thought it would be a good idea to work some significant classics into the rotation.
My teenage stepdaughter watched about an hour but didn't really enjoy it, so she went upstairs. A few minutes later she comes running downstairs screaming, "Tweety's dead!" Her bird, which we kept in the dining room, was stone-cold dead on the floor of her cage.
Too much of a coincidence. As near as we could figure, the sound of the movie - the tweeting, screeching birds - frightened this poor parakeet to death.

scottclaessens | It's more than quirky guy meets quirky girl film though. To me, it says so much about the up's and down's of not only relationships, but life itself. There are definitely bad times, and these might stick out more prominently in your mind, but there's always the good times that come with them, buried underneath all that.
It also focuses on the theme of memory - how memories shape an individual, and how something like amnesia can make you feel like you don't know who you are any more. One of the most tragic parts of the film for me is when Mary gets told by the doctor that they "have a history" that she can't remember. What must it be like, to not know yourself?
And then there's the fact that the characters in the film make the same choices, even after they've had their memories erased. Joel and Clementine, Mary and the doctor; they all start off heading down the same road as they'd done before the procedure. I think that says something important about us as human beings. Instead of forgetting and blocking out unwanted memories, we need to accept them and learn from them - because otherwise we'd just make the same mistakes again. But maybe, as is hinted at the end of the film, we'd want to make those same mistakes. Who knows?
Eternal Sunshine is a deep, rich, thought-provoking film; one that is much much more than just a rom-com. It tackles some of the fundamental issues that underlie what it really means to be human - to love, and to lose.

arte_misia | Mortgages are mainly owned by three banks and the Icelandic Housing Fund.
Those three banks were restructured in 2008 where emergency measure by the Parliament of Iceland on October 6, 2008, authorised the Treasury to provide capital for establishing new banks or to acquire ailing banks.
Some back story:
The emergency legislation also gave far-reaching powers to the Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority (FME) to intervene in the affairs of ailing banks. Each of the three banks was split into a “new bank” and an “old bank”. The new banks consist of the domestic operations funded by local deposits. The three new banks were immediately handed over to the simultaneously established banking corporations owned by the Treasury. The old banks consist of what was left in the previously privately owned banking companies after the new banks had been split from them. They consequently comprised the activities, assets and liabilities in foreign branches and subsidiaries, mainly funded through the issuance of bonds and foreign deposits. All derivatives were left in the old banks.
Financial instruments were defined to transfer payment from the new to the old banks to compensate fair value for the net transfer of assets in the other direction when the new banks were established.
**Average amortization of mortgage loans purchased by the new banks in the fall of 2008 was about 28%.**
The debt problem of Icelandic households, which has resulted from the unforeseeable increase in the principal of inflation-indexed loans ( as a result of the financial system collapse. The basic criterion is to achieve a correction to the results of the inflation spike of 2007-2010.
Corporate debt has already been adjusted to a level that companies can sustain and following a Supreme Court's judgements exchange-rate-indexed loans have been recalculated. Capital owners have held a strong position, with debtors bearing the inflation risk as a result of indexation. Individuals who owed inflation-indexed loans were left to fend for themselves.
It is appropriate to take advantage of the leeway which will develop in tandem with settlement of the insolvent estates, to address the needs of borrowers and persons who placed their savings in their homes, just as the emergency legislation ensured that the assets of the insolvent estates would be utilised to protect monetary assets and resurrect domestic banking activities.
A limit is set on the reduction to the principal to ensure the efficacy of the actions. The vast majority of write-downs made to mortgage principals will benefit persons with mortgages of less than ISK 35 million.
The Treasury will collect increased revenues in the next four years to cover the cost of additional state expenditure resulting from these actions. The actions will therefore neither be financed by additional Treasury borrowing nor with the granting of state guarantees.
**Tl;dr.** the mortgages have already been marked down by about 28%, these measures will ensure that borrowers will benefit from this as well as the banks.

- [Happy 83rd Birthday David Piper!:]( - Retweeted this morning by radio DJ Chris Evans - who's had a few Ferraris in his time. [Link](
- [Listen to the car starting up - folks with suitable bass will enjoy particularly...] (
- [Another link to the Santa's Grotto vid](
All filmed last week, edited in a hurry - a small microsite is in the works as well with an absolute ton of photographs.
Some history on the car: With only three original P4s ever built, cars like this are exceptional, race-winning example only become available on the rarest of occasions. Chassis #0858 competed under Coupé, Spyder and Can-Am configurations. Its distinguished racing career includes a third overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1967 and a win in the 1000-km race at Monza.
Check December 2011 edition of Motorsport Magazine if you have a copy - page 52 - Jackie Stewart quotes the car when he mentions this P4 as the only car that worked for him at the bumpy Brands Hatch was the Ferrari P4 he drove there in 1967 - this actual car!
Hope you folks enjoy - if this gets any attention then I'll gladly put some pics up when I finish processing the photos!

When he finally got back i was shocked that he did not, in fact, have water bottles for arms. I guess i just never questioned why I thought my dad's arms were water bottles i just took it as fact.

MysteryBowler | I inherited hemiplegic migraines from my grandfather on my Mom's side of the family.
I was fourteen when I had the first one I can remember. If any happened before then, I just don't recall them. More than twenty years later, I can still remember much of the experience.
After dinner on a school night, I just started feeling "off". My head felt sort of dull and there was a strange aura in the periphery of my left eye. I ran a hot bath (I didn't make the hop to showers for another year or so...and I still enjoy a hot bath every now and then) and just relaxed in the water.
I must have fallen asleep and been in there a while, because the next thing I remember was the sound of my mother pounding on the locked bathroom door and calling my name. My Mom panics easily, so she thought I had drowned in the tub. I tried to respond verbally, but it was like my tongue wouldn't respond and the left side of my face felt like it had fallen asleep. I tried to stand out of the tub, but my left leg didn't work, so I almost collapsed. I managed to drag myself out of the tub, wrap up in a towel, and open the door.
Later on my mother would describe me as looking "doped out". I remember that it took a moment for me to gather my thoughts enough to ask my mother to get me some clothes. Slowly the world started to make sense again. In my mind, I attributed it to just still being mostly asleep. I managed to get a pair of shorts and a t-shirt on, despite my left leg still not really working and my vision being a bit impaired.
It was about then that the pain hit me. I still get these headaches from time to time, but their onset is much slower and less intense now. This first one was a very quick ascent into a plane of existence that was comprised of naught but pain. It was all-consuming. My mind could conceive of absolutely nothing but a piecing, searing pain.
In my young life by then, I had managed to fall out onto my back out of a tree from a height of about 8 feet. My sister stabbed me with a kitchen knife (a flesh wound...I don't think she realized how close I was or really that she might actually kill me). This one kid who was a genuine sociopath at my school knocked me unconscious on our school bus by smashing my head into the wall of the bus. I got thrown off a 4-wheeler on a gravel driveway at about 20 mph.
None of those scenarios compare to the pain I was experiencing from that headache. None of them are even close to the same sort of pain. They are simply not analogous to whatever it was my brain was now interpreting as pain. This was like a totally different type of sensation and it was as if my brain was now in a full panic, trying desperately to communicate to me that a whole new dimension of pain was possible and I was experiencing it **right then**.
My mother came to check on me, but all I could do was meekly say that my head hurt *really bad*. She tried to give me Excedrin, but I couldn't even gather myself enough to take it. After about fifteen or twenty minutes of the fabric of existence being shredded, the headache started to wane a bit. That's when the nausea hit.
I staggered back to the bathroom (a short walk, thankfully) and threw up. Then again. And again. And again. A vicious cycle started where the headache would lighten up, I'd puke, then the headache would return to full strength. I actually was a little thankful for the puking because it was a brief respite from the pain, but eventually the straining of dry heaving was becoming its own form of pain as the muscles in my abdomen started to strain.
At this point my parents decided it would be prudent to get me to a hospital. This was in a rural area of Mississippi, so the closest half-decent medical facility was about half an hour away in Louisiana. We get there and I can't even walk in. My head is still filled with pain, my eyesight is still a little hampered by a discolored aura, my left leg isn't quite functional, and I'm weak from the puking.
The doctor at this podunk medical center takes one look at me and decides I'm obviously overdosing on *something*. In his defense, drug usage was common in our area and the statistics based on those symptoms were in his favor. But I've never so much as smoked weed, much less taken something I might *actually* OD on, so I was pretty angry about it. He even tried to get my mother to coax a confession out of me ("It's okay...I won't be mad...just tell me what you took"), but I had nothing to offer them.
They gave up and transferred me by ambulance to a regional children's hospital, about an hour and a half away. The headache had loosened its grip by that point, the pain coming in distinct waves instead of a solid, unrelenting wall of misery. Between the waves, I would pass out in the back of the ambulance. Then a wave would hit, I'd wake up with a moan, heave a bit of bile (which is all I had left), and convulse a bit in pain until the wave would pass and I'd be out again.
By the time we got to the hospital, exhaustion was overriding just about everything else. I don't remember much except almost throwing up in the CAT scan machine and a neurologist asking my mother if anyone in our family had bad migraine headaches. Unfortunately, one of my daughters inherited them from me. Her first happened much younger, about 5 years old, and unfortunately seemed to be as intense as the first that I can recall. I cried in sympathy for her, because I knew what she was going through.
The neurologist back then told my Mom that my headaches would get less intense and possibly more frequent as I got older, and that's been the case on both counts. Now the headaches start with the aura, but it's not as intense or blinding. The pain is totally manageable with over-the-counter meds and the nausea is virtually non-existent.
**tl;dr - Hemiplegic migraines suck.** | I inherited hemiplegic migraines from my grandfather on my Mom's side of the family.
I was fourteen when I had the first one I can remember. If any happened before then, I just don't recall them. More than twenty years later, I can still remember much of the experience.
After dinner on a school night, I just started feeling "off". My head felt sort of dull and there was a strange aura in the periphery of my left eye. I ran a hot bath (I didn't make the hop to showers for another year or so...and I still enjoy a hot bath every now and then) and just relaxed in the water.
I must have fallen asleep and been in there a while, because the next thing I remember was the sound of my mother pounding on the locked bathroom door and calling my name. My Mom panics easily, so she thought I had drowned in the tub. I tried to respond verbally, but it was like my tongue wouldn't respond and the left side of my face felt like it had fallen asleep. I tried to stand out of the tub, but my left leg didn't work, so I almost collapsed. I managed to drag myself out of the tub, wrap up in a towel, and open the door.
Later on my mother would describe me as looking "doped out". I remember that it took a moment for me to gather my thoughts enough to ask my mother to get me some clothes. Slowly the world started to make sense again. In my mind, I attributed it to just still being mostly asleep. I managed to get a pair of shorts and a t-shirt on, despite my left leg still not really working and my vision being a bit impaired.
It was about then that the pain hit me. I still get these headaches from time to time, but their onset is much slower and less intense now. This first one was a very quick ascent into a plane of existence that was comprised of naught but pain. It was all-consuming. My mind could conceive of absolutely nothing but a piecing, searing pain.
In my young life by then, I had managed to fall out onto my back out of a tree from a height of about 8 feet. My sister stabbed me with a kitchen knife (a flesh wound...I don't think she realized how close I was or really that she might actually kill me). This one kid who was a genuine sociopath at my school knocked me unconscious on our school bus by smashing my head into the wall of the bus. I got thrown off a 4-wheeler on a gravel driveway at about 20 mph.
None of those scenarios compare to the pain I was experiencing from that headache. None of them are even close to the same sort of pain. They are simply not analogous to whatever it was my brain was now interpreting as pain.

Saltoric | *Drum and Bass is like the name sounds a combination of fast drums and a bassline. Anything between 170 - 190 bpm is chosen (everyone usually goes for 180). Fast drums with crazy fills dominate the song and depending on the sub-genre the bassline differs.*
There is hard drum and bass that takes a lot of inspiration from it's roots of Jungle, stuff like [Limewax]( is a prime example, where there is fast drums and large basslines. Noisia aswell is probably the most famous hard drum and bass producer with songs like [Shellshock]( and [Could This Be](
There is also another sub genre called liquid where the basslines are happy instead of angry and it's all about melodies. The most famous of this sub genre has to be Netsky, with songs like [Memory Lane]( Other label friends of his Fred V and Grafix are good aswell, with songs like [Major Happy](
My favourite drum and bass producers are Chase and Status, and they have done many songs such as, [No Problem]( and [End Credits]( which are heavy songs, to liquid drum and bass like [Lost and Not Found]( and [Take Me Away]( *(my own personal favourite of theirs)*. Hopefully these examples can give you some inspiration.

FatPigeon | Basically all pigeons are in the same genus (Columba) and all pigeons and doves are in the same family (Columbidae). The rock pigeon / rock dove is the common pigeon seen in many cities. There is a lot of variation in the standard rock pigeon. King pigeons, for example, are fat all-white birds (look like chubby, ugly doves) that were bred from rock pigeons and are raised to eat.

Tabarnouche | When I found out the reason for my parents' divorce. They divorced when I was one, and my mom (who is pretty much the most angelic person I know) refused to tell me why growing up, always saying, "I'll tell you when you're older." I just figured they didn't get along. Well one day on a road trip with my step grandma (my new step dad's mom), she spilled the beans when she told my sister and I how amazing it is that my mom would forgive my dad after what he did. Confused, I asked, "What are you talking about? Forgive him for what?" And she's like, "You know, for cheating on her."
I can't begin to describe how shattering that revelation was, as a naive 12-year-old who loved and admired both his parents so much. When I got home I asked my mom if it was true, and she confirmed that it was. She hadn't told me because she didn't want me to have negative feelings toward my dad or step mom. As it turned out, during my parents' marriage, my step mom, who had been my step mom as long as I could remember, was actually my dad's secretary and mistress (so cliché, I know). My mom found out when my step mom got pregnant with my younger half brother. My dad then divorced my mom (with whom he already had three kids) and married his secretary/mistress, who is now my step mom.
For several months I refused to talk to my dad. I was furious at him for abandoning us, for hurting my mom so deeply, and for not being man enough to tell us himself. But to the credit of my angel mom's example, I eventually moved on and forgave him. Still boggles my mind how forgiving my mom was. She always wanted us to spend time with our dad growing up, never spoke a word of unkindness about my dad or step mom, and is pretty much the reason I have two wonderful family environments that function harmoniously together. They even exchange Christmas presents.

Smellanor_Rigby | you've either got to get more storage or lose some stuff. i can't tell you to get rid of your stuff, because you really might USE it all, but think about if you've used something in the last 6 months... etc.
for storage, think vertically. you'll probably have to buy some shelves or other types of storage solutions if you need to move it between rooms, maybe have wheels?
for starting: doing something is better than doing nothing. do 20 minutes at a time. try to start off doing at least one thing every day. i really love [unfuck your habitat]( for guidance and motivation. staying uncluttered and unmessy is all about building habits and gradually getting there-- it's a process, not an event.
i personally have nothing against wall decorations. i don't think that /r/declutter in general would, but i do think that posters might agree with this: don't just put stuff up willy nilly. put thought into your decorations, give them a purpose and a meaning. in the meantime, i would actually stay away from adding more decorations because they might add to the issue of "visual clutter".
tl;dr: in order to declutter, you have to start decluttering. do a little bit each day. put shit back in its place when you're done with it-- before you go to bed, put 5 things back in their places. to have more space, think vertically and get rid of stuff.

If they don't leave, but like the comic, they most likely read what is written this far, and instead of following little snippets of story every week, they put it on backburner and visit after a few months at best.
TL;DR: The most popular webcomics are those, that are produced regularly and each comic can stand on it's own, both of which is very hard to do with quality writing and art. | Two factors: Regular schedule and low barrier of entry for reader.

AnHonestInjun | Great list here, /u/ndevito1. You've hit on the best ones. Wanted to add my 2 cents.
Rany and Joe are great, especially for a Royals fan like myself (do any non-Royals fans get annoyed at how often Rany talks about the Royals? Of course, Joe needles him about this frequently). You can tell these guys have been writing and thinking about baseball for a long time. They really get into the nitty gritty re: transactions, trades, roster construction, managerial decisions, general strategy etc. One of the things I appreciate most about them, and that other baseball analysts seem to neglect, is their knowledge of the business side, and the relations between the owners and the player's union. Top notch baseball podcast, and yes, not for the casual fan. They're always over an hour, so I recommend listening at 1.5x.
Taking away Baseball Today....classic ESPN move. Oh, there's a thing that's popular and well-produced? BETTER SCRAP IT. Behind the Dish is good though, and has some great guests. I don't like it as well as Baseball Today, it's almost KLaw overload for me.
Up and In was the gold standard for baseball podcasts, in my opinion. If you care a lot about prospects and minor league happenings, Fringe Average is a good listen. The chemistry between Parks and Ferrin isn't as solid as Parks/Goldstein, but really, that was like listening to two best friends talk about baseball (and misc. topics) so I don't hold that against FA.
I'm a daily listener of Effective Wild (BP's successor to Up and In). I think Ben and Sam are some of the best minds writing about baseball today. They really get into the weeds on a WIDE variety of baseball topics (ex. "could you play on ice?"). They've gotten much, much better at podcasting too. Part of it's appeal, for me at least, is that Sam is clearly not enthusiastic about having to do a daily podcast, and says as much.
Two others I recommend are the Jonah Keri Podcast (available through Grantland) and the Will Leitch Experience (Sports On Earth). Jonah is another great baseball mind, knows how to podcast, and has great guests. Leitch's podcast is not strictly baseball, but during the season I'd say it's 50% baseball topics. His guests are usually national or local/beat writers.

Doctor-Quantum | The HD/Blu-ray (as well as the earlier VHS/Betamax) platform battles did, in a way, end up coming down to which one was going to be used by the porn industry. In cases like this, consumers, when deciding which to buy, are concerned with what format publishers in general (not just porn) are going to use; if they buy the wrong one, they've essentially spent money on a paperweight. The publishers want to produce content for whichever format is going to win to avoid wasting money as well. Once one format or the other has even a slight advantage, some consumers see it as the one to buy; as more consumers see it as the one to buy, more publishers see it as the one to publish for; as more publishers see one format as the one to publish for, more consumers see it as the one to buy, and the cycle goes on until one platform has domination.
The Blu-ray/HDDVD and VHS/Betamax 'platform war' is actually what I wrote my thesis on for one of my history classes, so I have quite a few sources and more reading, if you're as interested as I was.
TL;DR: One format gets some advantage (here, porn), some consumers jump on it, and this little boost in popularity snowballs into full-blown market domination. | The HD/Blu-ray (as well as the earlier VHS/Betamax) platform battles did, in a way, end up coming down to which one was going to be used by the porn industry.

Klimmgore | While watching high-elo streams I saw some awesome things people could do with Riven out of curiosity I wanted to know how they do it, I stumbled over a Video that shows what kind of animation cancelling you can do with her it's far beyond the animation cancelling other champions usually can, so huge congratuliations to everybody who can pull those amazing things of **but** the problem with it is that her skills can just come out insanely fast and in very quick succession thus dealing lots of damage (some might even want to say: **Tons of Damage**) in a very short time this leaves the space for counterplay incredibly small causing threads like this one and being very frustrating to play against a good Riven will also get catched very easily. Riven's kit can **if executed properly** be very good at dueling enemies and evading enemies, her 3rd Q can jump over walls (which isn't easy to do, at least not for me), she has a shield that is combined with a gap closer an with the right animation cancelling almost instant stun and an Ultimate which executes very well and increases the range of her abilities and auto attacks. The overall counterplay to her kit is very limited as most of her abilities are most instant e.g. her stun you can just E and then W stunning the enemy for 0.75 seconds while shielding which should give you enough protection to reach your 3rd Q stack to knock the enemy up combined with a few auto attacks and maybe a Tiamat or Hydra this should be enough to bring the enemy very low making her Ultimate very dangerous as it is almost impossible to evade it as it moves as fast as the old Zed Shadow (around 2000 Missile Speed) making it incredibly hard to dodge especially for people with slower reactiontime or not so good internet connection. All this make her a frustrating enemy to face, especially if the player behind it is very good with the animation cancelling.
**TL;DR:** She's very frustrating to play against, if the player who plays her is good with her animation cancelling. | While watching high-elo streams I saw some awesome things people could do with Riven out of curiosity I wanted to know how they do it, I stumbled over a Video that shows what kind of animation cancelling you can do with her it's far beyond the animation cancelling other champions usually can, so huge congratuliations to everybody who can pull those amazing things of but the problem with it is that her skills can just come out insanely fast and in very quick succession thus dealing lots of damage (some might even want to say: Tons of Damage ) in a very short time this leaves the space for counterplay incredibly small causing threads like this one and being very frustrating to play against a good Riven will also get catched very easily.

Nachotime | hmmm... a couple things stick out here...
1 - the cinnamon just kinda fades away. you'll find that with most spices.
its the same for spices in beer too... the only way i've been able to maintain a real strong spice character in my beer is to keg / bottle with a stick or cinnamon or a clove. otherwise i'll use an extract to get my flavor.
2.) > "while the yeast chow down on the apple matter"
Not sure what you're expecting to get from this ... the yeast eat the sugars. there's still going to be lots of pulp and yeast left over in the bottom of the fermenter. the only way to get rid of that is to let time settle it out... or a filter.
3 - Don't add the peels if you're using a commercially available yeast for fermentation. Those peels contain lots of wild yeasts that could result inless-than-desireable flavors and would certainly not give you the same clean characteristics of say, White Labs WLP 775 English Cider Yeast.
tl;dr - the flavor just vanished like magic... sorry, i know how disappointing it can be... its happened to all of us one time or another. | hmmm... a couple things stick out here...

Kinesio_logic | There is a lot of bias in the exercise field (often perpetuated by people who KINDA know a few things but are by no means experts). While the whole "machine vs. free weight" argument is a much deeper discussion than can or should be tackled in such a thread, I'll say this:
IF your goal is to target specific muscles/tissues in a way that removes extraneous variables from the exercise, then having more restraint placed on your planes of movement (as you would with most machines) would likely be more desirable. All things being equal, it's simply not possible to generate as much force from a specific muscle during a scenario where you have to handle a free weight and manage your center of mass, as you can when a machine helps to manage that for you.
Conversely, if you have a goal of challenging more muscles at once and perhaps integrating for the purposes of improving your ability to move while stabilizing a free weight, then a less restricted exercise would be the way to go. Compound movements with free weights MIGHT allow you to challenge more muscles/muscle groups within a given time period as well, but that depends on too many variables to discuss at length.
Of course, this is all contingent on your ability to execute any of the movements in question with absolute control and without compromised body mechanics.
TL:DR -- it ultimately depends on your goals and current capabilities. Exercise is far too nuanced to say that something is simply "good" or "bad" without a lot of context. Hope that helps :) | There is a lot of bias in the exercise field (often perpetuated by people who KINDA know a few things but are by no means experts).

kTmike | To be honest with the coming of season 4 in league and how much I hate it, I have completely switched. You will probably end up going back to LoL just cause it's something you've loved and its something that will always be close to your heart. But it's definitely a nice break. A chill game where a match is really only between 5-10 minutes. Whereas with league your sitting down for at least 25 minutes (most likely) to play one game.

NoOriginality | I am currently in school to become an educator so I am interested in this question. From the stuff I have read this semester, it seems that spoon feeding can be counter productive to the student. They know they don't need to look things up because you will just tell them. Change up the pace. Time to do a quick assignment relative to your lesson. Maybe look into some WebQuests online for ideas? Your students need to be thinking critically at all times. Talk with the rest of your teaching team to see if you can organize some sort of group lesson so that everything flows together, such as a large lesson involving space (as an example). Science could go on about planets, english could involve writing a narrative about a space exploration mission, you (i believe social studies is similar to history?) could do research about NASA and what they have done/are doing.
Tl;Dr- get the students interested in the material by engaging their brains. Make them ask questions and leave a lot of blanks so they have to. Include formative assessments to test out different methods. | I am currently in school to become an educator so I am interested in this question.

hum_bucker | This is a great thread. I tried to get my band's first ever gig recently and I wish I had read this first. So much good info. My strategy was just to go to the web site of every venue in the city, see if they had a contact for the booking manager, then call them and really be a positive, energetic person on the phone, and try to get them excited to book some no name band. It did work! We got offered shows at some of the best places in town, but unfortunately the drummer was a dink and we broke up.
TL;DR: Find out who to call with the google-tubes and be really polite, confident, and positive on the phone. | This is a great thread.

Roman_Ronin | Quickly to cover skirmish units, I don't have issues on their attack, but you must baby them in order to make them effective. Skirmish mode doesn't work well, and I only suggest using these units if you are able to constantly check up on them while engaging with your melee at the same time. Cheap HA and Basic Slings seem to work best for my builds (multiplayer).
Concerning Shock Cavalry, the issue at hand is the quality of shock cavalry you are using and against what unit you are using them against. As you did not clarify what units you are using your Sarissa cav against, we'll cover a few areas. All tiers of shock cav will endure casualties from flanking attacks against spears or pikes in nearly all scenarios. Lower tiers taking more hits. Second, we go again to tiers (quality) of your troops. Sarissa cavalry are lightly armored units, if anything, best used against archers. When disengaging they will take a substantial amount of casualties due to that reason. As we increase in tiers, the more medium armored shock cav, such as Companions or Pontic Royals take a fair amount. I typically see a 60 man unit drop down to 40ish on a good solid cyclic charge against a relatively powerful unit.Now moving on to the Cataphract. This is where shock cav truly shine, as last night in a battle I was able to use cyclic charges to decimate Roman Armored Legions from my front chages, knocking a 120 man unit down to 70 and taking only 2-3 losses on the charge and withdrawal. This is where you really see you money's worth pay off, especially since these units are also capable of decimating weaker spear units that lack decisive anti-cav measures, such as the Triarii.
Well, excuse my ramble, but I hope it helps to some extent! Cavalry has had this issue across all boards of TW, and casualties when disengaging are a given, hence why you must weigh those out with the benefits of another charge (substantial damage and namely, huge morale decrease to enemy units). Best of luck in your warmongering!
TL;DR Only use Skirmish Cav if you are willing to *intensively* micro them. Also, shock cav casualties sustained when disengaging depend largely upon the unit you are attacking and the quality of your shock cav (light shock, medium, or heavy cats). | Quickly to cover skirmish units, I don't have issues on their attack, but you must baby them in order to make them effective.

AlmostACanadian | Random Mundo question! I bought Mundo today and tried him out, he doesn't seem to do much in teamfights. I could 1v1 anyone (even poppy) though because I had 4.5k health and ~250 AD with atmas and my E. Still, I couldn't do much at all in teamfights. My Q did barely any damage to anyone even at level 18 full build and I just ran around scaring the back line out of the fight until they killed me while my team dissolved their frontline. Then, it was 4v3 so my team could win the last part of the fight.

estrangedeskimo | It is different for genealogy. For one thing, every character has a cannon pair, which generally yields the best or close to the best children. Also, inheritance is wayyy more important in genealogy than awakening. In awakening, pretty much any parent will work for any child, but in genealogy, certain children are almost unusable with the wrong parents. Also, there are certain pairings which are objectively far superior to others, and you would be crazy not to use them. The holy weapons in genealogy are easily 4 or 5 times as strong as any other weapon in any other game, and any character with one is almost instantly god tier. Therefore, it is absurd to pair people in ways that don't pass down holy weapons.

washcapsfan37 | Actually, many times when a computer crashes it does have to be fixed (you will see it loading and running a checkdisk program). A single desktop is much less complex than a web server and has fewer components that are prone to failure or errors. A web site often has multiple components that are distributed across multiple systems as well -- it is best practice not to store your database on the same server as your web server, as a breach in one will give access to both. A properly configured web server should be able to restart itself with all services it provides, but if other services on other systems don't restart or are asynchronous (i.e., restart slower) then this can cause issues and needs manual intervention (usually a database server should be up before the web server tries to connect to it, but each can't easily tell when the other is ready).
Also, DDoS attacks can be detrimental to web server stability. These attacks basically flood a server until it cannot handle requests any more and hangs. Typically web servers log every request for security and debugging purposes. If fraudulent DDoS requests are made, the log files on the machine can quickly fill up and actually cause the O/S to hang and not boot if it fills up the hard disk (much like if your computer's hard disk were 100% filled, it could not boot either). It takes manual steps to properly archive (not delete, as these files will need to be reviewed for security) when this happens. Web servers are also a bit finicky, and when put into bad states by things like DDoS can require lots of manual intervention to get them back up and running.
Finally, there are costs associated with reviewing the logs and systems to ensure no breaches or unauthorized access granted. If a system is compromised, depending on what kind of data it houses, there are legal repercussions (particularly if personal data/names/financial info is stored on it).
Was it worth as much as they are claiming? I find it dubious. Why did they need to bring in a third party? Did they host this site themselves, and if so why would they need someone else to assist? If they are paying someone else to host it then oftentimes they would handle much of this -- unless this went beyond their hosting contract, in which case they would get charged and maybe that's where this figure comes from.
TL;DR -- A web site is more than just some guy's laptop on the Intarwebs.

tfcanseeu | The game is probably the best jrpg I have played in a very long time. The story is pretty cliché but with enough twists to keep it interesting. The characters are pretty well written, though some will get rather annoying at times. At least the characters have distinct personalities that make them interesting. You also have a fairy companion, a little crystal fairy. Although she is not as annoying as, e.g., Mieu from Tales of the Abyss, she will get on your nerves from time to time.
The party consists of four heroes, later also called "Warriors of Light". The first one is Tiz, who lost his little brother and his his home as a gigantic chasm that swallowed his tranquill village, Norende.
The second is Agnés, the vestal of wind. vestals pray to the crystals of their corresponding element, fueling them with power. She sets off to save the day all on her own when the Wind crystal gets swallowed by darkness. She is accompanied by Airy, a little cute crystal fairy with a high pithced, annoying voice.
The third is Ringabel. He has amnesia and is a true casanova. He is in the possession of a peculiar book, "D´s diary", which seems to have written in it not the past, but future events.
The fourth is Edea. She is the youngest of the four and pupil of the legendary swordmaster, Kamiizumi. She is the daughter of the Grand Marshal of eternia. He and his army are the primary antagonists at the beginning of the game. Their cruelty towards the people of the counties they have invaded conviced Edea that what they are doing is wrong and so she joined Tiz, Agnes and Ringabel who seek to awaken the four crystals, which the army of Eternia wants to prevent for some reason.
As you can see, the story is pretty cliché. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed it as a nod to older final fantasy games, especially to my favourite, FFIII. It is rather long, but has a mindblowing twist towards the end. As the truth slowly uncovers in the last hours of the game the story just absorbed me.
BD has a well made Job system which improves upon those of FFIII and FFV by introducing mechanics akin to the Tactics series. While performing one job, you can have the accquired supporting abilities of other jobs and even the primary abilites of one other job. You can have a Black Mage that can cast White Magic and has +10% TP equipped because you got the Monk to level x. Some combinations are better than other of course - Jobs alter your stats and therefore the impact of your various abilites. Still, it is a highly customizable system, and i like it.
The combat is old-school and turn based akin to FFI-III. The twist is the "Brave and Default" mechnic, which lets you "borrow" and store turns in the form if Brave Points. You start the fight with -1BP. At the start of each turn you get 1 BP, which gets spent on the action you take. You can however store this point by going into Default mode (a glorified guard option). You can choose Brave to spend up to four points in one turn. If you howver slip below -1, you will not be able to perform an action the next turn, as the BP you gain will not get you to 0BP.
The art direction and design is absolutely mind blowing. Sadly, the cities are pretty small. They are ususally one screen and you can´t even enter the shops. The door just opens and a menu pops up. You cannot enter any house at all (there are some exceptions, but these place are story relevant). This was rather disappointing first, but it isn´t that much of a problem honestly. In fact it makes the world just a little bit more realistic. You cannot just burst into other peoples houses like in most other rpgs - but we are so used to being able to loot their places that most would bother when playing Bravely Default.
The music is the best video game OST i have laid my ears on since ages. I will never get tired of listening to it. Never.
The only thing that really bothers me are the pointless micro-transactions. You can spend "real world currency" (they call it that in an IN GAME DIALOGUE. WHY. Breaks the immersion faster than a tutorial ever could) to accquire "SP" (or you could get one by having your game on standby.....for eight hours). In a fight you can then press start to pause it, making you the only one to be able to take action. One action per SP. It is a useless mechnic IMO, and i fail to see why they even included it.
Also, the street pass village... you get one resident per streetpass accquaintance that has Bravely Default (like you, on stand-by). I am a compulsive completionist and live in a country where JRPGs aren´t all that popular. And what if i lived in a small town? Would I ever be able to finish this village, with one Inhabitant/ 24/7-slave worker? When it takes 99 hours to get a damn boulder out of the way? Maybe not. I dislike it. It is not crucial to your progress or the flow thereof. It is just a gimmick. A gimmick i will never complete *sob*.
TL;DR: Best jrpg i have played in a long time. Seemingly cliched story with a nice twist, good characters and solid mechanics. | The game is probably the best jrpg I have played in a very long time. The story is pretty cliché but with enough twists to keep it interesting. The characters are pretty well written, though some will get rather annoying at times. At least the characters have distinct personalities that make them interesting. You also have a fairy companion, a little crystal fairy. Although she is not as annoying as, e.g., Mieu from Tales of the Abyss, she will get on your nerves from time to time.
The party consists of four heroes, later also called "Warriors of Light". The first one is Tiz, who lost his little brother and his his home as a gigantic chasm that swallowed his tranquill village, Norende.
The second is Agnés, the vestal of wind. vestals pray to the crystals of their corresponding element, fueling them with power. She sets off to save the day all on her own when the Wind crystal gets swallowed by darkness. She is accompanied by Airy, a little cute crystal fairy with a high pithced, annoying voice.
The third is Ringabel. He has amnesia and is a true casanova. He is in the possession of a peculiar book, "D´s diary", which seems to have written in it not the past, but future events.
The fourth is Edea. She is the youngest of the four and pupil of the legendary swordmaster, Kamiizumi. She is the daughter of the Grand Marshal of eternia. He and his army are the primary antagonists at the beginning of the game. Their cruelty towards the people of the counties they have invaded conviced Edea that what they are doing is wrong and so she joined Tiz, Agnes and Ringabel who seek to awaken the four crystals, which the army of Eternia wants to prevent for some reason.
As you can see, the story is pretty cliché. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed it as a nod to older final fantasy games, especially to my favourite, FFIII. It is rather long, but has a mindblowing twist towards the end. As the truth slowly uncovers in the last hours of the game the story just absorbed me.
BD has a well made Job system which improves upon those of FFIII and FFV by introducing mechanics akin to the Tactics series. While performing one job, you can have the accquired supporting abilities of other jobs and even the primary abilites of one other job. You can have a Black Mage that can cast White Magic and has +10% TP equipped because you got the Monk to level x. Some combinations are better than other of course - Jobs alter your stats and therefore the impact of your various abilites. Still, it is a highly customizable system, and i like it.
The combat is old-school and turn based akin to FFI-III. The twist is the "Brave and Default" mechnic, which lets you "borrow" and store turns in the form if Brave Points. You start the fight with -1BP. At the start of each turn you get 1 BP, which gets spent on the action you take. You can however store this point by going into Default mode (a glorified guard option). You can choose Brave to spend up to four points in one turn. If you howver slip below -1, you will not be able to perform an action the next turn, as the BP you gain will not get you to 0BP.

daredevilcu | Best advice on this list. I don't like the pre-flop call after the 36BB bet. Best bet is to get it all in pre since you're only beat by one hand in the deck. Folding KK is something that you can only really do if you've got a lot of experience reading strength from whoever you're playing against and can be 100% certain he's got AA pre-flop.
TL;DR - pre-flop you either shove after the 36bb bet or fold with the insane soul-read. | Best advice on this list. I don't like the pre-flop call after the 36BB bet.

apadden | I was 3 and I lived on the oceanside in New Jersey. My dad would put crab traps out over night and I would go pull them up the next morning with him. All was fine, but one day my dad opened the trap and the crab charged at me (my memory as a 3 year-old). I was scared shitless, I ran back home screaming and banged on my glass sliding door for my mom to let me in. I guess it traumatized me so much it stuck with me.

beatkidz55 | I was 2 years old, and playing in the living room floor. My biological father and my uncle were just watching tv. Then a loud bang, followed by "Mesquite Police Department". My dad grabs me, and him and my uncle run to his bedroom. He puts me in the corner by the door so if anyone opened it they wouldn't see me. Him and my uncle then go hide in the closet. The police then invite themselves in, and after a brief search find my father, and uncle. I was just standing there in the corner with a big smile on my face because I thought we were playing a game. I'm not sure if I won though because my dad was gone for 13 years after that...

KarlTheGreatish | Your body's initial response is to push a ton of fluid toward the burn. If you've ever burned yourself badly enough to get a blister, think of that but worse, and over a really large portion of your body. That alone can kill you. If you survive that, say you get an IV quickly, or it's mild enough that you can just drink water, if there is enough tissue damage, the hyperkalemia (too much potassium) from the tissue destruction can stop your heart. If you survive that, further complications of the tissue destruction include myoglobin floating around in your blood (where it shouldn't be) which clogs up your kidneys, leading to their failure (rhabdomyalysis, just not exercise induced). Circumfrential burns can create a tourniquet like effect as they start to swell, cutting off all blood supply to the distal portion of the body, leading to cell death and necrosis, with subsequent infection. Even if you decompress the burn quickly enough to prevent further damage, the burn has just damaged your best defense against infection, and provided a ton of dead tissue where bacteria can hide out from your body's immune system (this is why debridement is so important in any surgery, but especially with burns [don't try it at home, let us take care of it]). Finally, any skin that isn't operational at the moment isn't doing it's job of helping you thermoregulate. So you have nice moist tissue that's meant to be inside your body just hanging out at the surface, blasting away all the heat your body is working to produce. This is why ORs for burn surgeries, and burn wards, are kept extremely warm (over 100 degrees Fahrenheit). Finally, your body has a huge caloric demand in this state, with some burn patients requiring up to 10k calories per day.
TL;DR: Burns are bad. Mmkay?
Edit: Gold?! Thank you kind stranger! Now I'll be prepared next time I see a patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis (Gold can be used to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis, as it not only acts as an anti-inflammatory, but can even prevent joint damage.) | Your body's initial response is to push a ton of fluid toward the burn.

BeatLeJuce | You're analysis is oversimplifying a lot of things. Biggest miss of all is that you forget that we're talking about probabilities. Just because an unbiased coin has 50% probability of of ending heads/tails does not imply that 10 tosses *WILL* give you 5 heads and 5 tails. 6 heads/4 tails for example is also a perfectly imaginable outcome.
With that said, just because it has an error rate of 13% doesn't mean that in your example "13 more people lived". It could be that it mispredicts some survivers as "going to die", or it could be that it predicts that someone's going to survive who will, in fact, die (in other terms, you don't know about its specificity and sensitivity). if you have 100 patients with wounds so severe that on average 2/3 of them will die, then the baux-score will most likely be around that area, as well (assuming the error rate of 13% is generally true, you could probably a confidence interval of how many the Baux score will look like, but I'm too lazy right now).

taylorhg | When I was growing mine out, I knew what shape I wanted (I was slowly moving my arch over). I kept the area that didn't really have to do with the growing out as tidy as possible. Usually once a week I'd do a shaping touch up once more hairs had grown in, and slowly work my way over.
I personally didn't let it completely grow out, just leaving it as is. I worked with what I had, because my natural brows are absolutely ridiculous.
Moving my arch probably took around three months. It was so gradual that it was barely noticeable until it was done!
tldr: I did upkeep, but let them babies go for it for three months. | When I was growing mine out, I knew what shape I wanted (I was slowly moving my arch over).

acemanrules92 | It all depends on how good the international cards are, are they going to be all like the Singapore card (majority of local fighters, big name headliner) or are they going to be like the London card (with known names).
Also it depends on what original content they're providing. I'll be interested in watching TUF Brazil but what else will they provide? Will things like UFC Tonight be on there (I highly doubt it but that'd be a sweetener for me).
I guess the UK is lucky in the fact that we won't get it for a few months (if we get it at all, not sure what the deal is with BT Sport) so we'll have a chance to see what gets put on there and read reviews on it.

Sir_Fancy_Pants | It can but its not permanent they regrow after a time, however drugs are not something you can rely on indefinitely, and the longer you spend your life under the influence the less you will actually know about yourself and the less you develop as a person.
As a non drug user myself although ironically currently on medical morphine (legit) drugs actually rob you of vital experience and developing opportunities.
Using drugs as a safety valve or coping mechanism actually undermines your sense of self and stops you developing coping strategies or innovation, because it essentially lets you cheat your brain chemistry without actually having to work or adapt on something productive.
I.e one can get a dopamine hit by winning at a tennis match, one can can get an equal hit from drugs, but its a hollow victory as the skills learning and character building parts are not present.
Tl:dr drugs are like cheating, but really you are cheating yourself out of actually growing, and you traded it all for short term gain. | It can but its not permanent they regrow after a time, however drugs are not something you can rely on indefinitely, and the longer you spend your life under the influence the less you will actually know about yourself and the less you develop as a person.

| AskMenOver30 | t5_2y9pw | cdzars5 | It can but its not permanent they regrow after a time, however drugs are not something you can rely on indefinitely, and the longer you spend your life under the influence the less you will actually know about yourself and the less you develop as a person.
As a non drug user myself although ironically currently on medical morphine (legit) drugs actually rob you of vital experience and developing opportunities.
Using drugs as a safety valve or coping mechanism actually undermines your sense of self and stops you developing coping strategies or innovation, because it essentially lets you cheat your brain chemistry without actually having to work or adapt on something productive.

clockish | Not that it wasn't enjoyable in ways, but it was *very* weak sci-fi. None of the explanations made any sense. Several of the more important explanations are entirely undermined by some basic facts about water: 1. It's an abundant substance in the universe. 2. It's particularly abundant in moons of Jupiter and Saturn (including, you know, Titan) 3. It's difficult to derive energy from.
I'm happy to forgive a handful of missing explanations, but nothing in Oblivion makes sense under a moment's thought.

calliethedestroyer | It's funny because savage makes a very cute .22 single shot for children that comes in a whole bunch of colours. I don't mind the other colours (orange, green, blue, yellow, red) but I can't stand the pink. Which is weird because I would make the same argument, that pink makes it seem less dangerous, less serious. And yet I wouldn't make that argument about an orange or a blue gun.
Huh.

DanteMH | Not quite right. The white aggro decks that are currently floating around in two variations have no card draw either. Mono red aggro also has no card draw (chandra is more played in midrange builds). As others have stated, it is the lack of answers in GW for common problems (stormbreath, lifebane, MoW,...), the risk of getting flooded ( even haven't mutavault to cover dat) and lack of mana sinks to be versatile in the mid to late game.

sure Zimpo isn't perfect but every time I tried to get Y to tell me exactly what X, Z, and Zimpo did that was so horrible it sprung her into defence mode (read: bitch passive aggressive mode) she became more vague and less responsive. my guess is she is fully aware she's not without fault in this matter, but rather than woman up and talk to her now former flatmates, she passively aggressively attacks them on a FB. so mature.

LaPetitSolange88 | Really IIRC you didn't. besides as soon as you started, Y's friend (let's call her C) said she wasn't comfortable talking about Y behind her back, albeit it being rather benign "we're concerned about her" convo, and you dropped it, and we talked about other stuff.
C did however tell Y that people were talking and even if C really didn't say anything, Y was pretty quick to guess who was responsible (really if a friend tells you that other friends are concerned and your first reaction is to yell at a completely different friend because "she's the one that tattletale!" you really need to rethink your life) and went apeshit on Zimpo. because there's no way we could have heard those rumours (is it a rumour if it's true?) from 10 different other people.
also, aint the first time she pulls something like that. she blew up on me last year for spreading a rumour about her. I was seriously the last person to find out, and was casually talking about "all the rumours about Y" with same friends (C and let's call the other one S) as you and I were talking. C then tells Y we'd spent a whole evening going through every nasty rumour about Y (C conveniently left out she not only took part but encouraged us if we were about to drop it). turns out Y hates S and just didn't want S to think Y is slutty, because that makes S a better person than Y.

If an attorney did try to charge $50k for this type of case they would be in violation of the Model Rules and the fiduciary duty of loyalty. This would mean the attorney could be sued for breach of fiduciary duty, subject to professional discipline (up to disbarment), and fee disgorgement.

BecauseChemistry | This is a great question. When someone asks you "is this molecule stable?" your first response should be "what do you mean by stability?"
Thermodynamic stability refers to a compound's enthalpic energy. This can be thought of as the energy released or added when constructing a compound from its elements, but also takes into account more subtle things, like orbital interactions. If you use computational software, you can get these values, or if you're good with your hands and your math, you can get them from careful calorimetry.
Kinetic stability is a compound's resistance to react. This can be measured by the difference in thermodynamic energies between the compound in question and the lowest transition state leading to a product. Getting a transition state's energy is tough without computational methods, but those are usually close enough to draw conclusions from. The higher the difference between a compound and the transition state, the higher the barrier to reaction is--and therefore, the reaction proceeds at a lower rate.
Usually, when you talk about stability in introductory organic chemistry classes, you're talking about thermodynamic stability (for instance, a chair conformation of cyclohexane has a lower energy than the boat conformation). Under thermodynamic conditions, two compounds in equilibrium will tend to favor the more thermodynamically stable one.
Kinetic stability tells a different story. It deals with the relative rates of reaction (for instance, how fast does a boat conformer switch to a chair conformer?).
TL;DR "Stability" is an overused word, you really need to specify what you're talking about.

SpaceSteak | Aesthetically speaking, noodly appendages often seem out of place compared to the beauty of the symmetrical harmony of valleys and mountains found on bodies without said appendages. But yes, some you're right, some women may find them appealing.

There's a deeper question than that, like who really expects someone they want to want mate with, to really put it all like that shamelessly? Like, how many guys would *really* be attracted to a girl that starts off a conversation with a shitty phone closeup of her cooch? Not many, at least I hope.
It just shows a lack of self-respect, and that's why embw is most likely right... they aren't very enticing to most women because they show a lack of self-respect and an expectation of the same from them, which many women don't feel comfortable doing to begin with.

Sarxasm | 5 was just... limp, terrible, detached driving. It may not look it, but it FEELS miles and miles better to drive, much easier to tell in cockpit view. All the cars feel more distinct from one another and actually are fun to drive. The game runs at 1080p60fps as far as I can tell, runs very smoothly. The beginning of the game starts off a little slow but after you get out of novice you get access to a lot of great events on top of the standard races, stuff like Goodwood Festival of Speed, Fuel conservation stuff, knock over 100 cones in X seconds. Gives the game good variety, also the PP system makes the races a LOT fairer and more competitive. I could go on, it has way way way better diversity than something like Forza imo, stuff like the Vision Gran Turismo are really cool too, putting concept cars into the game slowly for free over the patches.
