How long do you spend learning one song? | I've always wondered about this. I learn songs by ear (I'm a classically trained violinist for ten years so my ears are pretty good, so transcribing isn't an issue) and I haven't been able to learn an entire song from beginning to end because I always give up because I spend too much time on it and assume I'm not good enough to be playing that level of piece yet. Am I just being impatient? I used to spend upwards of six months learning at violin solo, so I've always been curious how long people spend on guitar songs. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Why is it that when a Muslim dies everyone is quick to label him a martyr? | ...even when he died in the most normal of circumstances?
Wiki says the term Shahid: "It is used as an honorific for Muslims who have laid down their life fulfilling a religious commandment, or have died fighting defending their country or protecting their family." and i pretty much agree with that.
Now some guy I went to university with who is actually pakistani had a friend post a picture up of his uncle with the subtitle:
"Our beloved uncle has attained shahadat in aircraft crash in Islamabad Pakistan .."
...uhmmm no? He was travelling and had an unfortunate accident.

I have a question on how to relate different races and address them in a correct way, not necessarily politically correct. Can you help me? | Whenever I'm with a group of friends of different races, I'm never sure how to address their race. Let me explain:
I'm with a black friend, and we are discussing some random topic and I happen to mention some guy is black or something. Perfectly fine. However, with another black person I know, he prefers ONLY African American.
Or if I'm with a Spanish friend (from Spain) he likes to be addressed as Spanish, not Hispanic (as that can include other countries I guess?)
Anyway, so hopefully you get my point. Different people want their race addressed differently. For those of other races (I'm a white Russian), what are your views on your race and how you refer to other races? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

How can I properly duplicate a user profile in Windows 7? | My work place is upgrading from a Win2000 server to Win2008 R2, which is just far enough apart that a proper migration tool is not supported. So I'm having to go to each machine and manually migrate them over to the new server. Most of our computers are currently not logging directly into the domain account on their machines, but simply logging into a local account. The goal is to have everyone now log into the new domain account, but still have the same profile (same files, settings, etc).
So far I've been able to just copy of the contents of Documents and Settings in XP machines over to the new profile folder with only a couple things here and there needing additional adjustments (such as the location of Outlook files). However, this is working so well on our newer Windows 7 machines. I've also tried using the tool in Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> User Profiles to copy the old profile to the new, but this doesn't accomplish much in XP and only half works in Windows 7 (doesn't copy appdata or some various settings).
As an example, I just spent the last 3 hours attempting to duplicate a Windows 7 machine by using the control panel tool to copy the old profile to the new one and then manually copying over the appdata folder, but ended up with a malfunctioning account (couldn't access explorer.exe...).
So before I waste any more of my time (or those who are without their computer during the process), I was hoping someone here might have a better and/or more proper way to duplicate a user account.
Windows Easy Transfer did the trick on Windows 7 machines, though I had to rename the extended.bat file to get Outlook to stop throwing an error on startup. Otherwise looks to have copied everything over rather nicely :) | reddit_title_body | 25 |
DAE read the explanations people give on their match questions? | My experience on OkCupid has devolved into sifting through match questions for those little explanations. I feel like they're the most genuine aspect of a person's profile, but only about 1 in 10 people feel the need to explain their answers.
So yeah, if you explain the answers to your match questions I want to read them. Especially if they're funny. Feel free to PM me a link to your profile if you don't feel like sharing it with the entire community.
Man. Hopefully this isn't as creepy as I think it sounds.

Cant help but feel like Crossfit isn't enough. Tell me Im wrong! | Okay. So admittedly, I have only been crossfitting for 3 weeks. On top of that, the first week and a half was filled with delayed onset muscle soreness, limiting my ability to do WODs.
I am now going to my box 4 times a week, but I cant help but feel like I am not training enough. Its not the intensity of the workouts, they are obviously extremely intense. Its the volume. Its doing only one lift for 5 sets of 3. And then an AMRAP for 8 minutes. Yes, Im exhausted after those 8 minutes, but it is a temporary exhaustion.
I used to work out at a regular gym, where I would do 4 sets of 4 exercises on 1 muscle group. For example flat bench, incline db, db fly, decline. When I left the gym, I knew that my muscles could not lift anything else. There was nothing left. I dont get that feeling when I am done with my Crossfit WOD.
So crossfit.. tell me why I am wrong! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Censoring a thread like this one, because you think it doesn’t blame the rapists enough, or you think some sick bastards might possibly be getting off telling their story… it would overstep the bounds of reasonable moderation to such a degree as to be unthinkable.

Female Health- Septate Hymen | Ok I've past the point of trusting yahoo answers, so need advice on the following. I recently discovered an excess band (not quite sure how to describe it) on my vaginal opening, it's never effected sex and I've never even seen it before, although I did panic a little (alot) finding it. With some googling it seems it's a Septate hymen. Many people online talk of surgery, and that it's a quick and simple procedure. I'm inclined to think this is not health detrimental but infact quite common (?) but have read this hymen can break and cause bleeding etc.. I live in the UK, would my local doctor perform this procedure (apparently you can choose that or surgery) for free? Or just general advice... | reddit_title_body | 25 |
If you could re-release a classic game now, but with additions what would you do? | For me I would re-release Age of Mythology. I loved that game and I have played hundreds of hours at my mate's house. I would re-release it with slightly better graphics but instead of the base religions (Greek, Egyptian, Norse) and the Titans expansion (Atlantean) I would add in Mesopotamian with a 3 of their gods like Ur and Uruk or something. I would also add the Incas. These religion's temples would be ziggurats, they would have large armies and their main units would be spearmen. I would give the Incas a mythical unit like a large panther that can travel quickly and stealth. That is my two cents, tell me if you loved a game and if you would add something to it. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[TOMT] [SHOW] Virtual reality cartoon? | Hey TOMT, I just had a flashback out of nowhere about a show I used to watch about eight years ago. It was about three or four kids who had found some sort of machine that was able to place them in a virtual reality. They would go into a sort of capsule, have green lights flash and end up in a computer generated world with super abilities. Along with all of this, they fought black monster things and always had a certain goal in each 'world'. I remember there was a main antagonist in this world who was either created by or put there by the game designer, a man who was not a part of the show but served as a mysterious back-story. I think the show may have been on Toonami but I'm really not sure, any help would be appreciated! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Shoplifting from the 1% is redistribution of wealth. | Face it: boycotting is too difficult to sell and has paltry results.
Protesting is getting us nowhere.

Steal from anywhere profiting the 1%. The cashiers don't lose their salary to shoplifters, just the people at the top.
If we want lobbyists to lose power, let's take away the ground they stand on.

Simon of the Desert anti-Catholic? | Hello all. Never posted here, but just watched Buñuel's 'Simon of the Desert' and I really loved it. As a Christian, however, and as one who believes very strongly in organized religion (Eastern Orthodox), I was intrigued to see nearly every review mention that the film contained many (some say blasphemous) criticisms of organized Christianity. I just didn't see it. There's a lot of stuff about how stupid and evil 'religious' folk can be, and about hypocrisy, etc., but that is nothing new to Christians. St John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople in the 4th century, fancy clothes and all, said that the path to hell is lined with the skulls of bishops. But that didn't make him anti-organized religion, just open to the realities of human self-deception and pride. Buñuel's film to me seemed deeply spiritual and if anything an affirmation of the ascetical tradition. Maybe I'm just missing something, but none of the reviews I've read convinced me there was anything anti-religious about the film. Maybe you can? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Why does Europe seem more open to the idea of Socialism compared to the U.S., given that Europe was in closer proximity to the threat of USSR during the cold war? | In America there seems to be a negative connotation in regards to anything that might appear to be socialism (Universal Health Care for example). I have been under the impression this is due to the after effects of the fear of Communism during the cold war.
Thus, the question is why is modern Europe more accepting of the idea, when they were located closer to USSR and was at a greater threat from Communism? Basically, why aren't the Europeans as afraid or biased about communism/socialism as people in the United States are? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[Discussion] Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein | Starship Troopers is a military science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein, first published (in abridged form) as a serial in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (October, November 1959, as "Starship Soldier") and published hardcover in December 1959.
The first-person narrative is about a young soldier from the Philippines named Juan "Johnnie" Rico and his exploits in the Mobile Infantry, a futuristic military service branch equipped with powered armor. Rico's military career progresses from recruit to non-commissioned officer and finally to officer against the backdrop of an interstellar war between mankind and an arachnoid species known as "the Bugs". Rico and the other characters discuss moral and philosophical aspects of suffrage, civic virtue, juvenile delinquency, capital punishment, and war.

Completely lost as to what is good and bad for hair. Shampoo/conditioner advice/ any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm trying to wash my hair less often and want a shampoo that enables that. (So far, I'm not impressed with sulfate free.) | Okay, to start I think my hair type is oily because it gets oily after a day without washing, and it is medium-thin and pretty long. Here is my recent story/source of confusion:
I decided to stop getting mainstream, drugstore shampoos, (I was using aussie for a while, and liked it, but thought it wasn't necessarily healthy enough) and got an organix one (still from the drugstore, but more of a natural formula.) I got the one with macadamia oil. It leaves my hair super, super soft and nourished, but I'm starting to think it is making it *too* hydrated, and it may be starting to look oily quicker. The first time I used it, I went the next day without washing it, no problem and I was thrilled! I thought the logic behind it was that if you don't completely strip the hair, it doesn't over-oil your scalp, but now after a few days of using it, my hair just seems to get more and more oily. Also, it is sulfate free, and does not lather very well, so it takes more time to work through the scalp and sometimes I cant cover all the areas I should. I have tried sulfate free things before, and am not impressed. Is there any way around this method?
I don't know if this is the shampoo for me, but I am trying desperately to find one that is. I keep buying new ones and nothing seems to be a good match. Any input would be awesome! I am not only confused about the hair type thing, but also about sulfate free vs. "safe sulfates" which I have gathered are things like sodium **laureth** instead of lauryl, exc. I have tried to look things up as far as what is "healthy" for hair, but every website says something different. Also, if my problem is hair being too oily, aren't stronger chemicals okay for that? Ugh, I JUST WANT A RELIABLE, HEALTHY SHAMPOO :(
Thanks so much for reading, and I am looking forward to responses. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

What features would YOU like to see on replays? | When watching old replays, it can often feel strange that there are no timers on the production tab. What other features do you think you would miss in current version replays if they were implemented in a future patch.
As you guys obviously watch a lot of commentated replays, you can often pick up on things that other people are missing, one big feature I personally would like to see on replays is a kill feed to help negate this, as while the players are alerted, the spectators are not alerted to where battles are happening unless they are watching the vision of a specific player.
Just above where the game timer currently is now, color coded, something like this:
[12:51] Red Marine kills Yellow Probe
[12:51] Red Marine kills Yellow Probe
[12:51] Yellow Stalker kills Red Viking
[12:52] Yellow Dark Templar kills Red SCV
Replacing the colours with the appropriate player names
At most about 5 lines long, stacking on top of each other and fading out after a few seconds.

[TOMT] looking for a [movie] where a couple of guys find a utopic, parallel universe. | The movie is probably 10+ years old.
I don't know how they did it, but two guys manages to enter a parallel universe where everything seems idyllic: No violence or crime, etc.
A detail I took special note off was the cars. Nobody owned cars they were just parked in the streets, so whoever needed could just take one. And instead of regular license plates the cars were barcoded where the plates would normally be.
Anyway, it turns out that the place is not so idyllic and that the native residents of the-other-world wants to make some sort of brain surgery on one of the main characters because he is too fat (I think) and hence doesn't fit into the idyllic society.
Thanks. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

I mean, s0AZ' lee sin had gotten a triple kill up top, as well as them having a jax, surely this is justification to get more defensive items more quickly at least a ninja tabi, or is going for the extra Gp10 item and damage boots an attempt to deal extra damage to shift the tides of the game? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Eye Channels. OR; Looking for group? | I've noticed everyone is usually in [eye:4] seeing as that's the default slot it is in your inventory. but the way the system is now is messy. I'm sure a lot of people still don't even know how the eye channels work. so let me give you guys a hand.
each slot in your hotbar represents a number. the first slot, on the far left, is 1. The last slot, on the far right, is 9. depending where on your hotbar the eye is placed is what channel you can read. when you spawn, by default, the eye is in slot 4. right now it pretty much just serves as a global chat for social butterflies. But, in a busy chat it could be hard to get noticed.
SO: I propose [eye:1]. Channel 1, the far left. let's designate this as the "looking for group" channel. Only put your eye there if you're a lone wolf seaking teammates. this will clear up some of channel 4, and will make it easier for people to form alliances.
^^it ^^could ^^also ^^make ^^life ^^easier ^^for ^^bandits ^^but ^^that's ^^besides ^^the ^^point
anyways, give me your feedback, what do you think? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

The Future of the Marines. *theory* | I want to take a little time to create a discussion on the future of the Marines, not the immediate future under Akainu, but they far future after the inevitable fall of the absolute justice philosophy and rule of Akainu.
In this aspect there are two key playes in the Marines future, Vice-Admiral Smoker and Coby. I'll start with Smoker.
- Ive often heard it said that Smoker is to Luffy as Garp was to Roger, essentially that Smoker is Luffy's main adverary and equal within the Marines whilst they both hold a respect for each other. I have to admit i found this theory difficult to accept at first because i always thought this role was being set aside for Luffy and Coby. If Smoker is going to take that opposing and most important role within the Marines... then what is part is left for Coby to play. However I believe now that Smoker is going to be Luffy's Garp, but Coby is going to have a more important role in the Marines.
Coby as we have seen is the sort of Marine we like, he wants to stop bad pirates and evil people, but is able to differentiate between good pirates who just want freedom etc and those who are truly evil and need policed. Further more after Marineford we have seen Coby standup to Akainu and his absolute justice whilst facing certain death. Finally Coby's development of CoO Haki, the type allowing him to feel the presence of others and predit their movements will again make him more understanding of others whilst giving him an advantage over enemies. Essentially i think that Coby will end of being the Sengoku figure, Fleet Admiral. He will restore the Marines to a peace-keeping force to be loved and welcomed instead of being a war-fleet to be feared.

Are cellphones always transmitting signals? | Are cellphones always emitting a wireless transmission to the towers, if so, are the waves "bouncing" or a direct path?
And finally, if the theories are true that cellphones cause cancer, if you're inside a mall for example, isn't everybody just in a huge wireless signal mass?. And if the signals do bounce everywhere, wouldn't it not matter if you have a cellphone or not, everywhere outside would technically be covered in signals correct?
So why are people so paranoid of getting cancer by keeping a cellphone? just living is giving you cancer if its true? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Acid-Vision - Very Closeup focusing (thoughts?) | I recently have been experimenting with my depth perception and I noticed that since I have done acid, I have had a lot more control. My most recent experience was quite interesting, I found I was able to hyper-focus extremely close to my eye. I wear glasses and I was able to focus on the various layers within the lens and see the particle of dust and irregularities within the lens and determine their depth in relation to each other. This meant I was focusing at a distance of about <1 inch, and yet I find it absolutely crazy as the standard depth I used to be able to resolve at was around 4 inches. Has anyone else been able to do similar things? Or perhaps the opposite, and get eagle-vision (which unfortunately I have not been able to achieve) | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Quick question about knowing if you are in Ketosis as a T1 diabetic | Hello!

Need help figuring out a backup plan for a small-medium business! | Hey guys,
I recently started working for a relatively small business (~75 employees in two different locations). The old IT admin either was very proactive in their job and as such there really is no company-wide backup system in place, or even guidelines for such. Backing up is left up to the users who, surprise, aren't doing it.
This makes me fairly nervous, but I'm not quite sure how to go about setting up an adequate system for the company's diverse needs. As I said before, it is around 75 employees split between two locations (a large central building, and a smaller offshoot of around 10 employees), and their backup needs range from a few hundred GBs for the engineers, to a few office documents, to a ton of office documents and maybe a few specially made programs. Also due to the nature of the business, it is common for them to generate maybe 100 GBs of data in a day, and that will need to be backed up, but probably not used for months. Also as a lot of it is proprietary research or IP, security is a concern.
What is the best to go about assessing their needs? When most people talk about backups it seems like they have on comprehensive plan that includes every user, but that seems rather impossible in this case. I know a portion of them are setup on Jungle Disk, and I was thinking about extending that, but it seems like it would take too long for the users that are generating hundreds of GBs of data in a day. I am fine with doing a combination of cloud backup, and then possibly doing individual external hard drives for those who would need them, but that seems a little unprofessional.
Anyways, a little lost on the whole backup situation and a push in the right direction would be much appreciated! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

How much did experiments on prisoners at Auschwitz and other concentration camps contribute to today's medical knowledge? | My knowledge of Nazi experiments is limited to Josef Mengele and his experiments on twins. A few key questions that I'd really appreciate an answer to:

3. Are there any records/journals of experiments, or were they destroyed during the liberation of concentration camps?
I appreciate this is quite a specific question but I would really appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on the mattter! Thanks reddit. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Refused to refuse a blood transfusion for my son and now parents haven't spoken to me in 10 months... [Jehovah's Witness] | My parents turned Jehovah witness when I was 12... Before that we we were catholic.. So no more Xmas, bdays, Easter ECT.... I couldn't date till 18 and even then had to be chaperoned..
So skip ahead a few years.. I got married at 24 to a beautiful catholic women who turned Jehovah witness completely due to the love she had for me and after a few years she grew to respect and believe in my family's beliefs.. We never missed a meeting and did everything a Jehovah witness was supposed to do... I have nothing against Jehovah witnesses or my family but I was never fully into it
2 years ago we had a son and about 10 months were in a car accident.. We were fine but our son was injured and in the hospital they said he needed a blood transfusion.. This caused chaos with my parents.. Within the hour there was about 20 elder Jehovah witnesses at the hospital with prayer books and lawyers! All trying to stop the transfusion and praying in the hallways!
The decision was ultimately up to me and i decided to go against our beliefs and my family and friends... I went ahead with the transfusion.. Even then I had to sign loads of documents before they'd even do it..
Today our son is perfectly heathy and living a normal life... All of our friends and most family are not even speaking to us... My parents refuse to even say a word to us or even see there grandson... What kind of world do we live in?!!!! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
How do you stay interested in HC after losing a character? | I've been a long time diablo player but never ventured into HC until a few days ago in D3. It was fun, taking some extra time to item farm before attempting bosses. But then my 25 DH died at the end of Act 2. I know level 25 is nothing compared to the people losing level 60 HC characters, but it was very disheartening. I immediately started a new HC character but after a few minutes I stopped. I thought to myself what if I just die again, what's the point?
The game mode is very fun. I enjoy the adrenaline rush when you get to low hp on the verge of death. But at the same time, I have 5 other characters on softcore that will not be gone forever. I want to keep playing HC but at the same time I don't want to lose another character.

Fuck airbeds. How do you either find one that won't get holes or properly fix holes? | I just spent 2 hours with a soapy spray bottle and keen ears to find three separate holes in my air mattress.

I Farmed Gentlemen Shrimp, AMA | As requested in this thread:
The actual story:
Years ago, a Japanese professor found a mutation in a common invert that resulting in the body color being red and white strips. It used to be black and white strips. The red/white stripes are much more appealing and so it got the attention from a lot of people.
This is a freshwater shrimp and you can see some pictures here:
I realized that people liked them so much (for their aquarium, not for eating) that early on, they were willing to pay $25/piece for these little buggers, with a 4-8 piece minimum order because of the shipping costs to send something 2nd day or next day.
Well... an importer in California got them from Japan and he sent them over to me in Indiana. I began breeding them. Let me tell you about the economics of their breeding - when one has eggs, it will carry something like 20-30 eggs at once. Obviously, when it only takes 2 to create 20-30, the profit is exponential and any businessman would hear a cash register making lots of noise in his head. That's what happened to me, and not much later, I had $500 in a very basic setup and a decent chunk in the shrimp themselves. Obviously, I was working with the ones that were already mutated.
Why weren't more doing it? Breeding them is tough, because the water parameters have to be just right. If you have to punch 10 dials with women, imagine that this has an 11th dial, which is really tough to manage when you are already dealing with 10 things. I should add that I was still a student and set this up at my parent's home, so I had to go back home very often.
FINALLY! After 3 months, one of them carried eggs! I was very happy and ready to reap in the rewards of my hard earned money, or let them breed again and be rich forever. Right? Wrong. My family and I went on a trip for a weekend and they were having a bug problem at home. They left cans that released bug spray out so that the bugs would be killed...
As luck would have it, the bug spray leached into the water and killed my guys.
I felt so bad that I went vegetarian for 2 years. I couldn't live with the fact that I killed these living things that I had put so much care into. After those 2 years, I was on my bike, and over a few months, I killed a 2 squirrels that would run out under my road bike and they died. I began to feel bad and wondered... "What exactly can I do without killing an animal?" Hell, when you pick a banana, you're likely going to step on an insect! I realized I had gone down the wrong path and began to enjoy bacon.
Side note: I have also worked on a coffee bean farm in Hawaii, built + sold a small business, gotten an evil look from MC Hammer, and more. Feel free to ask about whatever. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Toby Jones was in the better Capote movie (Infamous v Capote) of 2006. What's the bet he's in the better Hitchcock (The Girl vs Hitchcock) of 2013. What do you think? | It seems cruel that Toby Jones (an outrageously good actor in my opinion) is yet again going to be in a biopic about a very famous man the same year as a more famous actor will play the same character in an eponymous movie.
In my opnion, "Infamous" is a much better movie than "Capote", AND TJ > PSH at playing Truman Capote. Not that I think Seymour-Hoffman is a bad actor - far from it! I just think Toby Jones was outstanding and that the movie itself was better.
This is just one of the reasons I'm more excited about "The Girl" than "Hitchcock".
1. The subject matter is much more interesting (Hitchcock's relationship with Tippi Hedren vs the making of Psycho).
2. Anthony Hopkins' stupid-ass makeup
3. Listen to how good Jones' voice is in this compared to Hopkins' Michael Caine impression!
So, anyway, what do people think? Agree? Disagree? I'd like to see this subreddit have more discusson and not just links :D | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I feel like I'm about to find myself in an awkward situation... What do you do when you receive a job offer but still have another interview lined up? (Retail) | Thanks in advance for reading!
I'm a college student looking for work for the summer that can be transferred back to the town of my school when fall rolls around, so I applied for some retail positions at the mall that are also at the mall in my school town.
I had a group interview that went extremely well last Thursday. The manager paid me a lot of attention, the manager had previously expressed to me and her coworkers (overheard as I was leaving) how much she really liked me. The store (store A) is looking to hire 6-7 people and there were only 9 people at the group interview, so I feel the odds are pretty good that I will get an offer.
The problem is that as soon as I got home from interview A I got a call from another store (store B) that I'd prefer to work at. I now have an interview scheduled for this Thursday at store B, but store A said that everyone would be contacted about a job by this Friday AT THE LATEST.
So, what do I do..? What do I do when I am offered a job but still have other interviews?
After consulting google and my parents, it seems like there is no not awkward or shady way of handling this. Any advice is welcome, I have no idea what I'm doing and this will be my first retail job.
Thanks so much! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

BigFatLP how do u feel living with a guy ( chauster ) that keeps saying you suck and CLG should replace you | Chauster keeps asnwering in his AMA bad things about you, that your CLgs weakest links, u never carry, u should be replaced if CLG wants to improve, that u never listen and think you are doing ok. etc etc
I am curious what u have to say about this.
Exemple - Does jiji know its a problem or does he shrug it off?
-i dont know he seems to shrug off everything without being serious at all but thats just how he is. hopefully he considers that he needs to improve instead of not carrying teh team as our carry
What do you think will make jiji realise his poor performances and take the game seriously?
-nothing really unless someones opinion he values more will tell him to improve for the sake of the team
Theres more than 100 questions where he says things like that
1/2 years ago Jiji was probably the best player in the game along with yourself, these days he seems a pretty weak ap mid player compared to the other top teams, would you look to replacing him or do you think there is anything he can do to improve?
-he needs to take the game seriously in solo q not play for fun like he does
-If you could replace someone from CLG.prime with players from CLG.eu and CLG.black who would you pick for your team?
-froggen
I think you have to make jiji and voyboy step up now or you will fail like the last ogn. You, double and hs going to do something?
-what can we do except tell them countless times that they are sucking and that they need to fix something. ive told jiji countless times and voyboy so many times but problems dont fix themselves overnight | reddit_title_body | 25 |

NVIDIA Quadro NVS 420 x1 - Cards all appear to have gone bad - Heat? - Any fixes/uses for this ~$400 Card? | Hi reddit, first post here! Been reading this site for quite some time, but never took the time to create an account or post anything, but now I feel like I have a question that reddit will be able to give me the most options and perhaps best advice for, well, a rather broad question.
I have 5 of these NVIDIA Quardo NVS 420 PCI x1 that all appear to have gone bad. They were all in a server/work environment with very, I feel, inadequate ventilation/cooling. So I'm assuming that is what has caused **5** of these cards to go bad... Of course maybe it's something else wrong with this batch of cards that makes this just a coincidence.
Anyway, I'm wondering if their is anything I can do to either:
A) Fix them
or
B) Sell them to somebody that would want to fix them (ie is this something someone might be interested in trying at a computer shop or craigslist, seeing as I have 5 of them.)

I don't claim to be an elite player, and I may be totally wrong- but I think people may be overlooking a critical point when it comes to the plasma gun. | OK, the thing is, I think people may be overlooking that this gun belongs to the Raider- not Pathfinder.
Yes, it is great for dueling and hitting people in mid air. But is that the reason you would select the raider class?
I have seen these videos where people are getting multiple kills with the plasma rifle against enemies that are taking predictable paths, or jumping straight up and down.
But don't you think anyone could probably make the same video, any day of the week, with a player skilled with the spinfusor or SMG etc?
Would a skilled player get more kills against (relatively) unskilled players with a Raider/plasma gun than with other loadouts? I'm not sure...
But aside from that, if your goal is to win the match and not rape noobs, is selecting Raider the way to go?
When I play Raider (and this may be stupid) I generally focus on base disruption. While the plasma gun is great if you meet a person in mid-air on the way to the enemy base, when it comes to close-quarters-combat and base asset destruction, the plasma gun does *not* excel.
Getting a bunch of dueling mid-air kills does not win a game.
In other words, are people realizing the trade-offs they are making by A) choosing to be a raider class and B) Giving up the (already awesome, when it comes to base-disruption) other Raider weapons?
...
tl;dr: The gun may be very powerful, but does it really make the Raider *class* the best class in the game, with regards to winning matches? Will EVERYONE be playing Raider class tomorrow? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Texans defense scoring anomaly, a heads up to commissioners and players | This week in standard ESPN scoring leagues, the Texans were awarded 6 sacks. They actually had 5 sacks, and the 6th was a turnover on downs that is only in ESPN Fantasy. If you look on ESPN Fantasy scoring it says the Texans have 37 total sacks on the season. If you look on Yahoo or ESPN websites it says 36.
This is really unfortunate. I have a player in a league I commission that lost his match up this week against a guy with the Texans defense by 0.5 points. He is very upset, I think I am going to change it for him since the evidence is so clear.
Hopefully this will be fixed on its own for everyone tomorrow (thursday can bring adjustments to ESPN scoring). But if you are a victim, let your commissioner know. If you are a commissioner, make a policy now that all ESPN scoring is final, or that if anyone can bring you conclusive evidence like this that you will change it for them. Hopefully this will avoid conflict later if it happens again

Kids' Birthday Party etiquette- what should I do? | First, sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to post this, but I wasn't sure which one to post in.
The problem is this:
Although I wish I could have invited my daughter's whole class to her birthday party, frankly, I couldn't afford it. So, I whittled the class list down and invited about half the kids; first her close friends, and then a few other kids she wanted to invite. I didn't have any particular reason for not inviting the other kids; I don't know them and have absolutely nothing against any of them. I just had to cut down the list somewhere.
One of the girls we didn't invite, however, has just sent my daughter an invitation to her party, two weeks after my daughter's party. Of course my daughter wants to go, but I feel terrible sending my daughter to HER party when she wasn't invited to ours.
My first instinct would be to invite her to ours right away, but it's only a week away, which makes it seem obvious that we hadn't initially invited her.
Advice, please? Should I RSVP with a yes that my daughter is going, and not say anything about our party? Or not let my daughter go to hers? Or send her a last-minute invitation? I just don't want feelings hurt when there was no offense intended. (Keep in mind these are elementary-aged kids, so this would mean a world of hurt feelings if they were to find out). | reddit_title_body | 25 |

If you also have a gps sensor, we can make the challenges distance races, I.e. first to reach 100 km of training, etc...
My name is Dylan Cahill so if you search on the site for me, we can add each other and set the challenges.
I ask anybody else interested in participating to join in by leaving your name or whatever other detail you want to be identified as on polar.com so we can have /r/fitness challenges together! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
WiiU Mario Paint on the Horizon? | I was just pondering how amazing it would be for a full revamp of the cult classic that debuted on the Super Nintendo. The mini-games, music fun, easter eggs, draw studio, etc. This new system seems like perfection for the series if utilizing the new main controller and stylus. Woundn't it be a wonderful surprise to find out it was a native app that came with the WiiU at launch?
I have read elsewhere, on other forums, that some people thought it might be best if not released as an actual retail game, but instead, a digital download. What does the /r/WiiU community think about a Mario Paint for this next console? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What games do you feel have the best Aesthetics? | To be clear, i do *not* mean graphics. Graphics and Aesthetics are two very different things. For those who don't know, Aesthetics are basically the atmosphere of the game, and how well every aspect from game play to music to art style come together to create a sense of immersion. Il start.
1.Dark Souls
Making up for its less than stellar graphics, the atmosphere and aesthetics of Dark Souls are so incredibly amazing that that polygon count for models and textures do not even matter. Everything from the backdrops to the voice acting just fits perfectly. You really get the mystery surrounding lordran and you can easily get immersed despite the lack of a strait out plot.
2.The Legend of Zelda the Wind waker
It's really hard to describe how amazing this game is in every way, even beyond aesthetics. The art style,completely original for a zelda game, was a eye pleaser. Everything was so bright and colorful, yet it didnt try to be incredibly detailed like Kingdoms of Amalur, which was bright nd colorful, but also tried to be realistic in its visual style. Everything in wind waker just makes you get lost in its world. The music, that characters, the visual appeal, even the gameplay, which most people dont add to "aesthetics" | reddit_title_body | 25 |
My family thinks that the Walmart strike is about working black friday. What times have people so misinformed about a situation it was depressing? | I had thanksgiving with my family when they struck a conversation about the lazy Walmart workers who were contractually obligated to work those days and they what they were getting into when they said they could work those days. Meanwhile me and my uncle just looked at each other with "you're kidding me right?" faces. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
The cravings are back in full force. | I've been clean from all drugs for well over a year, which I am thankful for... but cravings are coming back... My drug of choice was heroin, and after I kicked it, I even got myself accepted into a military academy. Things have been great... but lately I've been craving that blissful apathy. I'm in a place where it would be impossible to score or take heroin (the Army drug tests, which I'm happy for) but I can't get the cravings to go away. Anyone go through anything similar? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Signs of lacto fermentation? | Four days ago I made a weak starter for lactobacillus to pitch into 10 gallons of a gose. boiled the extract in the flask, cooled and pitched the lacto at about 105F. I didn't aerate the starter because my understanding is that lacto doesn't need oxygen and aeration only increases potential for other bacteria to find a friendly environment and compete.
I have left it in the flask by a heater and it's been steady at about 100F inside the flask, however there are no visible signs of anything. If I smell around the starter, I do get a lacto aroma.
To my understanding, I've done everything right. Did I have bad info? Is it normal to see no signs of anything after four days? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Im a newly single 29m. Any lady Redditors want to hang out this weekend? | I got a 3 maybe 4 day weekend and want to get out of the house. I have over the course of my last relationship removed most of my female friends and now im looking to just kick it with someone new, meet new people and just brighten my mood. Is there anything special or interesting going on this weekend? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Are there any good shops near Boca Raton FLorida ? | I'll be moving to Boca Raton soon and I was wondering if there are any good shops nearby.It should probably be noted that I am a pretty competitive player. My LGS is amazing and I can play magic any night of the week within an hours drive right now and it seems like most people just aren't as fortunate. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
How to break up and leave chance to stay friends? | Some background information: I (21F) and my boyfriend (21M) have been dating almost a year. Our relationship has been wonderful-he's an amazing person, lots of fun, and generally an incredibly sweet and caring boyfriend. He has introduced me to numerous people who have become my main group of friends-some even better friends with me than with him-so we are completely immersed in each other's social lives.
The problem, however, is that I need to break up with him. He hasn't done anything wrong-which makes it almost harder. I just can't see our relationship going anywhere in the future and know that it would be even harder to break up further down the line. Consequently, my feelings for him have been fading fast over the last few weeks, and I think that the best thing to do is end it.
I still love him deeply, but don't think a relationship will work out.
I also would love to be friends for the sake of our college group of friends, as I'm sure we'll be running into each other very often and they are all friends with both of us. How can I best do this breakup-it really is me, not him-to give us the best chance at being able to stay in each others' lives? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Looking to expand my artistic portfolio. What should I draw, Reddit? | I'd like to have a larger portfolio before I head off to college this fall. I strictly do non-digital art - all pencil and paper. Any suggestions? I'll post a pictures of completed works. I like to do portraits of famous muscians e.g. Kurt Cobain, Tom Morello, Jimi Hendrix, Matt Bellamy, Cliff Burton, just to name some. Other miscellaneous things I like to draw are robots, urban decay landscapes, graffiti, and tattoo designs. I'll take you up on pretty much any offer, as long as its do-able.
Thanks! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
