Experienced Ketoers please advise: question about incorporating fiber/veggies, and how to calculate percentages | 1. I can't seem to work my vegetables (and fiber) in without overloading on carbs. For example: according to MFP there are 7g of carbs and 1g of fiber in 1 cup of kale; this, added to wild carbs I unexpectedly incurred from seemingly innocuous sources like eggs, yogurt and cheese, sets me over my daily carb allowance. Spinach is better than kale for carbs (again, this is all according to mfp), but it still seems that reaching my recommended 29g of fiber is impossible without maxing out on carbs. What am I doing wrong here?
2. Is there a program I can use to figure out my calorie percentages? MFP just tells me how many grams of whatever I've eaten, no percentages. Not trying to calculate this myself; I can't even do long division. Just want a program where I can plug in what I ate and it will tell me what percentage of my cals came from fat.
All help is so appreciated! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
After too many years of Brett Favre Wranglers and graphic t-shirts, I need a new wardrobe. For $100 can someone help me get started? | It's embarrassing to go out to parties. I don't own khakis, a single pair of designer jeans, more than two button up shirts. I wear the same New Balance running shoes everywhere I go with the exception of some nice Columbia boots I have. I need to get $100 worth (that's all I have to spend as of now) of clothes that I won't look embarrassed going out in, at least to get me started. I think what I need, in order of desperateness, is:
* Jeans that Brett Favre didn't wear in a Wranglers commercial
* A few button up shirts or polos (though I do have a few already)
* Khakis
* Maybe some shoes (I seriously have no idea what kind of shoes to buy that aren't running shoes)
FYI: 190 lbs and 5'6"
Can anyone give me a shopping list? Honestly, wearing presentable clothes is entirely new to me so I don't know where to start. Thanks.
EDIT: I'll take future recommendations too for when more money comes around. Also, you'll have to be specific with styles, stores, etc. because I don't have a clue what I'm doing. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Anyone know of a program that rapid clicks? | I need something that when I hold down a mouse key, it clicks many times per second. google has shown me nothing, But at this point.... I'm convinced that reddit is much more handy a search. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Missing Koi Skin, Missing RP, No Support Response...now I can't log in to the forums? | When Nami came out, I purchased the champion because the bundle wasn't out and then refunded her and bought the bundle...except when I did that, a bunch of RP went missing *and* I didn't have the skin. So I sent a ticket to support about both topics and talked on another user's post in the forums who was having a similar problem. Today, I go to log on the forums and it's telling me that my access is denied.
I don't know what to do - it's one thing to be slow with support responses; I understand season 3 has thrown a wrench in the works and things are taking some time to iron out. But to basically leave me hanging and then prevent me from even communicating for no reason? I don't get it. I can still log on the client, still get into games, etc.

Advice on toilet training an adult dog? | A few months ago we adopted a neglected 4 year old adult greyhound. Initially we kept him outside as we had a cat living with us, but the cat moved out so we let him come inside. It's also getting into winter here in Australia and where I live it gets quite cold, definitely too cold to leave him outside, at least at night.
It seems he hasn't been toilet trained, or perhaps just doesn't care. He often pisses inside, right in front of us and doesn't really seem like he knows he's doing anything wrong, although he never shits inside so it seems that he at least knows he's not supposed to do that.
Thus far the only thing we've really done is catch him in the act, yell at him and put him outside. I've also tried to rub his nose in it a couple of times, but the message doesn't seem to be getting through.

Alright Reddit, I'm at my wits end. What are some cheap group costume ideas for halloween? | My place of work is required to dress up for Halloween and give out candy. My boss has just had her wisdom teeth cut out, so she can't organize this whole thing. I am the only person taking initiative and helping her, and I can't think of any good group costume ideas. I've tried google, but most of the costumes cost money and we have none. I'm running out of time, and I'm not creative at all.
BTW: there are 5 of us, but probably only 4 will make it. (minus the boss)
**TL;DR:** Have to have a group costume idea put into effect by Halloween for work, and I suck at this. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Can we compile our knowledge of Mt Lemmon's history? Random facts, links, book recommends, etc. | If you walk from the Sunset trailhead downhill, there's an unmarked trail that goes through a beautiful little valley parallel with the Mt Lemmon highway. Along the trail there is an old bridge foundation, some old house foundations, an apple tree, and some old signs. It appears that the old road up Mt Lemmon followed the trail, but then it turns up another valley and runs into another section of the Mt Lemmon highway. Complicated, I know, but if you've been on the trail maybe you know what I'm talking about. The trail goes under the highway through a huge culvert and then up the Bear Wallow Rd valley, passing more foundations, signs, and a capped spring.
Who planted the apple tree?
Old topo maps show a ski hill in the Bear Wallow valley. I hiked around looking for it, but it must have been a long time ago because there is no area cleared of trees. There is an area where snowboarders have set up rails... maybe that's the spot.
What's the meaning behind the name "Incinerator Ridge"?
On the Butterfly trail, there are pieces of a wrecked fighter jet. I'll post a link to an article about the crash later.
I ran into a woman once in Colorado who said that she used to be a school teacher in the 70's (?) at an elementary school on Mt Lemmon. I wonder where the schoolhouse was.
Do you know any really cool, out-of-the-way places in the Catalinas? My recommendation is that trail I mentioned earlier. It has the best fall colors of anywhere within 200 miles.
And a link... this trail book has lots of history in it. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
DayZ Runs horribly, ArmA II runs decent, All other games run GREAT. | I have a great desktop PC, and an awesome gaming laptop. Every other game works awesomely, and then when I bought ArmA II (Only for DayZ, obviously) it ran at 30-40 fps. Lower than what I'm used to, but alright. No big deal.

[Question] how do you keep your lights powered up? | I find that the lights suck a metric ton of power when you have a few running.

Who's worse with the Gauntlet? | There's a lot of talk going on about characters that are better with the Gauntlet. Are there any that are worse?
I'd argue that a number of the 300 point figures would be. Most already have Power Cosmic or Quintessence, so they don't get much benefit from the willpower or immunity to outwit, plus when you bring them out of the 300 point build, they're much easier to overpower/out-action. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
[Build Help] This is one helluva good subreddit. You have inspired me. Dumb questions enclosed: | I have always wanted to build a PC. I am also going to build a desk, but that is another story. FAQ and links are awesome, I have learned a lot. Things have sure changed since I installed a sound card on my 1982 WANG. This will be a gaming PC, but I am not real hip on high speed shooters, my favorite games are the Total War Series. I would like to be able to run something interesting and stunning though. Skyrim on PC looks quite pretty, as do a few other games. I'll probably do some low level web design as well.
Dumb questions:
Why the SSD? Are you just putting the OS on it for better load times?
Is there a good source for monitor information? I dig a high res large monitor. Do graphics cards and monitors need to be paired in anyway, or are most graphics cards ready to rock the best there is?
Sound Cards? What happened to those? (I AM FREAKING OLD AND IT HURTS) Onboard sound processing is so good they are obsolete?
The FAQ gave me good info, but I think I will want to modify the case in someway. Not a fan of the very common ultra sci fi look. I love nice wood........lol. I was thinking of making a wooden case for the case, and using some woodworking skills to carve something interesting in it, and add some inlay. Then use some black mesh to cover the cooling ports kinda like house stereo speakers from the 70's (high flow of course.) Instead of the usual blue or red leds, I want to get those fake battery operated tea lights that flicker, and use those inside the case. Also, will make claw and ball stands for it.
See how psyched I am? See what you've done?
Thanks everyone. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I have Crohn's disease, what's a good strain to help with my symptoms? | Recently diagnosed with Crohn's. I'm looking for a couple of strains that could help with my symptoms. I don't live in a medical state, unfortunately, so I'm just looking for a few ideas I can see if my dealer can try and get me some. The doctor did prescribe me some medicine but, I'm not a fan of pills and the pharmacist said what I've been prescribed works better for constipation... Which is not my problem.

[META] Some minor flair changes! | Hey guys, I've just been tinkering with the flair a little bit, and I have some minor changes/updates to share with you:
1. Updated the Libya flag to the post-Gaddafi one; if there's any Libyans who opted out of the big green one who want a change, give the mods a message (I know there's at least one person out there).
2. Added my Earth Flag to the flair, mostly for myself but if anyone else is interested, message the mods.
3. Just for fun, added some custom flair for the last 3 contest winners. If there's any other winners who'd like their own flair, leave a comment or send me a message and I'd be happy to whip one up (I have a little bit of time to kill anyway) ~~but do bear in mind space is limited~~ See 2EDIT.
We have a little extra space for some more flair; if you're feeling grossly underrepresented with r/vex's flair system I'd be happy to whip something up, if not, have a nice day!
EDIT ---- 4. Also added a USSR flag, for all of you commies hiding on here!
2EDIT --- I realised that we actually have unlimited flair options! Request away!
3EDIT --- Also added South Sudan, Basque Country, Quebec and Brittany. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
[META] What happened with that mod poll a couple months back? | I'm referring to this Mod Poll about whether or not we should allow celebrity AMA requests. A bunch of people participated and voted, but nearly 3 months later we still see celebrity requests with no word from any of the mods.
I realize that the mods all have things to do, but seeing as it was their poll I think it'd be nice for it to at least be addressed. If the mods decided to still allow them in spite of results, so be it, it's their subreddit, but I feel like we've been left in the cold. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I need to rant momentarily amongst people who understand: "We are sorry that Canada voted against Palestine." | I'm dying.
I waited until there were plenty of comments in the threads about Palestine's recognition at the UN.
At the top of them are these "Canada is sorry, we should have recognised Palestine" and "I don't know why we didn't do it."
Really?
Really? You really don't know. You, the same people who cannot begin to remotely comprehend what the people IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR COUNTRY are telling you about nationhood understand the Palestinian side so well?
Yet you don't understand what Quebec is saying?
I...look. Am I preaching to the choir here when I say: You all and I agree that the reason Canada won't recognise Palestine isn't because they're the US lapdog, it's because it makes them look incredibly hypocritical when it comes to Quebec.
GAAAAAAH!!!! AAAAGH!!!!
I swear to God...the level of cognitive dissonance from some people is astounding. How can they on one hand say "Why don't the people of Israel recognise the plight of Palestinians" and I just...OH MY FUCKING GOD LISTEN TO YOURSELVES!!! IT'S FOR THE SAME REASON YOU IGNORE QUEBEC'S PLEAS!
Let me calm myself. Quebec is not Palestine. Quebec has it a billion times better. But Quebec *is* like Palestine in that you reach the point of a "two-state solution" when the dominant state is all "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA" every time the smaller state tries to air a legitimate grievance.
So yes, Anglo-Canadians of reddit. You've gotten to the point where you accept the notion of a two-state solution with Israel and Palestine and say that you have given up hope for Israel's government to do something constructive.
Wow. Welcome to Quebec. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

I'm in the process of putting together a wiki for The Elder Scrolls Online. Its a pretty big task so I'm letting you all know about it in case there are any amongst you who feel like adding content to it.
Any relevant content is welcome, whether that be a new piece of info regarding dungeons or skills that has just been released, race or province lore or just some general history.
Its an open wiki so anyone is free to add content without needing to register an account, but there are plans to add a forum soon that will use accounts registered on the wiki.
The address is www.elderscrollsonline-wiki.com. If you've got any questions, comments or suggestions then give me a shout otherwise feel free to add content.

Is there a preferred order to reintroduce foods after an elimination diet? Looking for different types of exclusion diets as well. | I searched for elimination and exclusion, and checked the sidebar (and a few other reddits... there's quite a bit about elimination in r/breastfeeding, but not what I needed).
Anyway, still looking for:
- 30, 60, and 90 day, or 6 month, and 1 year exclusion diets
- Information on the benefits & drawbacks of different lengths and different kinds of elimination diets...
- If removing the top 8 ( ... or nearly all) allergens, what is the best order to reintroduce them?
- For example, if reintroducing grains/grasses: Is it important to reintroduce corn, wait 3-4 days, introduce rice, wait 3-4 days, introduce buckwheat, wait 3-4 days? Or can they all be done at once?
- What about cross reactions?
I've looked on Amazon and don't really see any books that detail all the varying elimination diets out there that tell you how to do them, and the drawbacks and positives of each kind. Or really any at all that are super detailed on reintroduction.
Anyone? Websites? Books? I do have the book *Whole30* and I like it overall, but the reintroduction advice is very short and they do large groups of food at once.
I would like to do an exclusion diet where I can eat meat, seafood, vegetables, eggs, fruit, nuts (no peanuts) but no alcholol, sugar or added sweetener, dairy, soy, legumes, or grains & grasses. Essentially. I just don't know if I need to restrict even further; and the best order to reintroduce the foods that I have taken out. I'm already GF and will never reintroduce wheat/barley/rye.
All help is appreciated!!
tldr; Looking for websites and books that have a compilation outlining different elimination diets. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

My new TENS unit helps with the pain and fog. | I heard about TENS units a few years ago but did not get round to buying one until last week. I received it on Friday and have used it every day since then. Over the weekend there has been less pain and a more relaxed feeling building. I've been sleeping better and feel much more refreshed in the morning. Today I'm sat in my office and feel much more alert and able to cope with the daily stress of work than I have done in years. The fibro fog has lifted some. I am very happy with how I feel; I don't feel great but I feel a lot better than I have done in a long time. I'm hoping that the TENS unit will keep having the same effect on me and this isn't just coincidental. I wish I had bought one of these years ago. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Should I let my dog fight it out? | I have a 1.5 year old neutered male who I believe to be some kind of Shepard mix. He's recently started picking fights at the park, though I don't believe he means actual harm. He does sound vicious when he does this though and its clearly different from normal play or even vigorous wrestling. I've noticed that he seems sexually excited when theses fights occur though he had been fixed for almost his whole life and the dogs he picks are male.
I've been working on keeping him calm with attention and praise when he's good and worn out from running, but its not working. He spends most of his time at the park on leash now, whining while other dogs play.
Feels like the only thing I haven't tried is letting him fight it out, possibly getting himself hurt in the process. I'm not fond of the idea.

Seriously Hypothetical Question: How long / difficult would it be to look like Kratos from God of War? | For those who don't know, Kratos is the protagonist of the *God of War* video game series.
According to Wikipedia, Kratos has a height of about 6'6". Assuming one had the genetic predisposition of his height as well as the ability to pack on muscle, would it be possible to train / lift / eat to look like Kratos?
Some key questions:
* How long might it take? 5 years? 10 years?
* What lifts and training would you do? Spartan workouts, if you will?
* Would there be a lot of bulking / cutting involved?
Here are some photos of Kratos' musculature. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Why don't kill people in a stateless society? | So, I may be wrong, and I hope I am, but what I have heard from people here is that state is "the legitimate use of force". With that being the case, if there existed a society which lacked a way to force people from not killing each other, what reasoning would they have not to. Let me give a few scenarios.
1. Two people get into a dual. They mutually agree to this. One dies.
2. A person steals my things. In retaliation, and order to get them back, I kill this person.
3. Person kills my family; I in turn kill that person.
4. One person walks up and kills a man.
Under my current understanding, what prevents any and all of these from happening is a legitimate use of force. Without a state, how is it determined which can and cannot happen if theres no law making body nor enforcement agency. And, whereas a private police forces could enforce prevention of this, what happens when any of these is done to someone too poor to afford police protection in a stateless, capitalist society.
tl;dr: what keeps people from eating each other in the streets without a state police force with uniform laws. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Restrict article(s) access by user, is this possible with joomla 2.5 ACL? | So what I'm hoping to accomplish is to get admins to create content articles and when users log in, they only see articles that have been assigned to them. Is this possible?
EDIT: I came across this forum post which describes the procedure. I will attempt it and provide another update. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
If you think Catholic organizations should be able to deny their employees contraception coverage, do you also believe that Scientology organizations should be able to deny their employees psychiatric medications? | Keep in mind the following:
1. Birth Control medications are not optional for some people. They are actually used for a variety of reasons outside of birth control including PCOS, heavy menstrual periods, and menstrual cramps.
2. Scientology as an organization does not believe in psychiatry. You can look at this wikipedia page or just watch Tom Cruise's insane ramblings on the subject.
3. No one is forced to use contraception by this law. The law simply states that an organization's health care coverage must cover the medication if the doctor and patient deem it necessary.
edit: Title should actually say "psychiatric medication coverage" but I can't edit it. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Question about covering plants for a late frost | We've had a pretty warm winter here (US zone 8) and many of my plants have already budded out. Some of the roses have lots of new growth and are ready to bloom. We're forecast this weekend for an abrupt cold snap, though, so I want to cover a few of them to keep the buds from getting damaged. It's been ~65F/45F for the past week, expecting ~25F lows this weekend.
Two questions for you guys:
* When using cotton sheets: is there any problem with laying them directly over the plant, or are there advantages to building a "tent." I planned to just toss two old sheets over my tree rose and tie it off around the base cane.
* For some of the shorter rose bushes, I was going to tape together a few flattened brown paper bags and weigh the corners down to cover them. Will that be sufficient for a ~25F frost, of do I need to get some more sheets / burlap? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Making New Portals in the Overworld Should Lead to a NEW Portal in the Nether. | The current portal system makes SMP quite annoying, for example. I can go into the Nether with my friends but we always come out at the person who made the first portal's house. I think that when you make a portal in the overworld, it should lead to the same coordinates in the Nether and vice versa. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

British cop transferring to WAPOL, any advice? | Hi, I have an assessment exam in London on Tuesday as part of the recruitment process. I'm a 26 year old British police officer and just wondered what people's opinion of your police service is? What's WA like? Any hints or tips if I get to move down under? I have visited Australia twice and spent about 12 weeks in total travelling up the east coast from Melbourne to cairns and loved it.(And got a speeding ticket) thanks guys for your help!

Collectible card game - I've got the cards, I've got the mechanics, I've got the publisher - But I don't have the art. What do I need to know? | So now I'm trying to finalize my plan to bring my card game to market, and I have a pretty good idea of some of my baseline goals. I want to raise $X amount of money on Kickstarter which will fund the delivery of roughly 200~ sets of the game to all the Kickstarter participants, as well as help fund the big missing piece: **art**.
That's what I wanted to talk to you guys about. What do I need to know about trading card art?
The game's concept is initially to be 8-bit - so I could utilize art with a pixelized retro feel, but not in the flat bitmap sprite sense, more in the 8-bit Theater vein, where sprites can be overlaid on drawings, or the pixelized sprites can be scaled to different sizes compared to those around them. I think this gives potential artists a lot of creative freedom, and still keeps the retro and fun appeal that I want the game to have.
My question for the thought powerhouse here on /r/gamdev is how should I go about requisitioning art, and how much money should I be ready to lay down? Here's what I've identified as my full art needs for the physical card game itself:
* Logo
* One card frame with 6 variations for each card type
* Flavor art for 90 cards
* Art for the 100 card tuckbox
* Art for the encompassing game box
* Instruction manual (between all the rest of the art, this should be covered)
I've been doing game dev for a long time and I know reasonably well how to price sprite work and the like, but I've never had to price anything like this and frankly **I don't have a clue** what to expect. I know that with many modern TCGs the art load is shared between dozens of artists, however this isn't really a TCG - it has sets and expansions, no boosters or concepts of rarity, therefore the card quantities are much lower.
Munchkin is a great parallel to what I'm doing because it uses the same model - you buy a "Munchkin" box and you get ALL the cards. All of those cards were illustrated solely by John Kovalic. Should I expect to do the same for this? It seems like a very large workload for just one person to commit to, especially if they're also doing this as a "spare time, more money" thing.
Does anyone have any comments, suggestions, resources or anything else that could help me solve my card art dilemma? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

What kind of "starting spawn" to a server do you like? | I am developing the starting area of my server and I want to know from the community what you all prefer in a "starting spawn" area.
I've been on many servers that bombard you with rules that no one can possibly remember. I've been on some that are little more than 3 signs and tell you to have fun. I've been on some that are practically a maze to get out of, intentional and unintentional!
So when you first join a server, what do you like to see?
Thanks! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Need help choosing a brand of camel cigarettes that will best suit my preference. | Can you guys tell me what is the camel equivalent of Marlboro reds? I love reds, but I'd like to broaden my horizon. For a red smoker like myself, which brand of Camel do you think would fit best?

I can't stop falling asleep after I eat Lunch. How do I fix this? | Regular sleep schedule. 11PM-8AM...

Argue for your configuration management tool's superiority | There have been quite a few posts lately where respondents (myself included) have advocated configuration management, and it seems to me that a majority of people replying prefer Puppet. I happen to use CFEngine, mainly because I deployed it back when it was the only game in town. A colleague of mine moved to a new unit with a small existing Puppet deployment and said that its load balancing/time scheduling method was pretty poor, but that is the extent of what I've heard about other config management systems. So I'd like to hear arguments why your preferred system is better than the rest.

Noble's Land, my one man retro MMORPG, Video Update 1 | I posted here a few months ago about my current project, Noble's Land. I was asked to do some video updates. Now that things are taking shape I decided it was time to do it.
Here is a copy/paste of my developer blog post on BesomeGames.com]( and [NoblesLand.com
Now that a good majority of the base work for both the game and the tools are done I am going to start doing video updates to show off progress on the project as I go. This first video update contains three videos. One video shows off the Resource Editor, which will be a private developer tool to add new graphics and objects into the game. One video shows off the World Editor, which will be released with the game, that is used to edit the world map. The final video demonstrates the client loading and using these dynamically created data files.
[
Resource Editor Developer Tool](
In this video you can see the Resource Editor in action. This tool will be for private use and is used to create dynamic data files. You can add tile sheets, make animations from the tile sheets, make tiles from the animations, and make world chunks from the tiles. The reason behind this approach was to make adding new content in the future as easy as possible.
World Editor Developer Tool
This video demonstrates the World Editor. This tool will be fully availble for download. Behind the scenes this will be used to create the world map. Players can use this to submit their own custom maps for contests where the best maps can be added to the actual game. The layout of the land is placed using a default set of World Chunks. You can then place Custom Chunks on top of these which will be for buildings, cities, and landmarks. The world map is a tile map of tile maps. This allows the game world to be massive, while not taking up tons of processing power and memory. The full sized world map is 16,777,216 million tiles.
[
Game Client Video](
This video shows the current state of the game client. This is a simple demonstration showing the data files being loaded and animations displaying in game.
The tool videos are choppy and the client video is dark. The optional equipment boxes in the top right of the game client do now show as visible, they have a very dark border. The next step in development is rendering the world map in game and getting NPC movement back.

Is there any way to get out of Dish Network's early termination policy? | I am just over halfway through my two year agreement with Dish Network and had to move because of work. I moved from a house to an apartment and my apartment complex does not allow satellite dishes.
I tried talking to Dish Network, but all they could do is give me a form to try to force my landlord into letting me install a dish. I don't really want to go that route.

If you provide sandwiches for a work meeting/lunch DO NOT have the condiments already on them! | I had to attend a work lunch today to watch a presentation from one of our vendors. They provided a tray of cold cut sandwiches that already had mayo and mustard on them. On ALL of them. I despise both of those so after I had already grabbed a sandwich I was obligated to choke it down. I know this is a bit of a firstworldproblem but it's pretty damn easy to get that shit on the side.
Also the fruit salad fucking sucked.
*edit* oh hell no! they took the left over cookies with them. I was being polite and waiting until after the presentation to grab one. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

US Savings Bonds offer interest rate equal to inflation | I'm trying to put aside money for children's college and my retirement, and am looking at ways to diversify. I like high interest savings accounts, but for something long-term, I can't find anything above 1.5%. But a US savings bond Series I from treasurydirect.gov averages the inflation rate over a quarter and uses that as your interest rate for the quarter. It's not amazing, mine averaged 3.06% last quarter, but it's better than hiding it under your mattress, and better than any CDs I've seen recently. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Needing advice for an amateur webdesigner who used Dreamweaver and doesn't have it any more. | Hi, I understand that professional webdesigners wouldn't use Dreamweaver or any WYSIWYG html editor, but I hope someone can understand where I'm at and give me advice, or point me to a more appropriate subreddit.
I did put up my first webpages just using code years ago. I made the website for my project with Dreamweaver. I know how amateur it is! I want to get working on it again, but have lost my Dreamweaver programme and it is very expensive to buy. It was very easy to use, I could use my little bit of code knowledge along with the WYSIWYG.
Can you recommend a free or very cheap html editor that would be easy to use. I am happy to practice my code writing more, but my health is not good (and I am getting old) and my project needs lots of work, so I want to keep making my website as easy as possible.
PS Happy to receive constructive criticism about my site too! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Great fiction involving bikes/biking? | As I was biking to school this morning, I thought I'd post this here: I'd love suggestions on novels which feature bicycling prominently. I think the only thing I've read is really a few books about people bike touring around the world (although often there isn't all that much focus on the actual biking), but what about a spy novel with a crazy chase scene in downtown Manhattan, or a novel about a bike messenger, about someone getting fit through cycling, a love story with lot's of biking etc?
It could even be about biking as a sport - something akin to "Once a runner"...
(Movies are also fair game - I love the bike scene in ET for example... but most American movies with neat bike scenes tend to be with kids/teenagers, because I guess by the time you grow up, you are supposed to be in a car. I remember seeing some crazy scenes of bike messengers weaving in and out of traffic in NY at a bike movie festival in Toronto and thinking that some action movie director should hire those people and incorporate it into a movie - more adrenaline than in any road chase I've seen)... | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Gender, orientation and solar/lunar connections | I'm posting this right now when I could be at a full moon ritual. I like them, but I don't feel especially connected to the moon. This sometimes occasions comment, as it seems like most pagan women have some kind of lunar connection. Personally, I'm solar-powered.
Now, this might just be because I work with Apollo and don't have any lunar deities that I work with. Or they could both be caused by the same thing.
What I'm wondering is, do you think being gay might switch up some of the traditional associations? Nearly every pantheon (the Norse being a major exception) has a moon goddess and a sun god, so it's not just my anecdotal observations that those are the usual connections. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
FIRST TIME DXM TRIP [sort of, not really]. TIPS | Okay, so I got some free time this Saturday. The family is out of town, all my friends are busy or vacationing. I don't really feel like sitting on my ass and drinking beer all day, like I usually do with these lazy weekends. I don't know any dealers anymore, otherwise I might just buy some weed or shrooms. So, I figured DXM might be my ticket. I tripped DXM about two years ago, low dosage, unplanned. It was good, euphoria, dissociation, watched some movie (The Mothman Prophesies, freaked me out), then slept. Noises were weird, lights were bright. I'm guessing I barely reached above the 1st plateau. I want to do it right this time. Going to buy the good shit (DXM-only), instead of just pulling something out of the medicine cabinet. Any tips? Do you guys have a normal routine or ritual when dexing? Should I eat before? How do I prevent nausea? What's fun to do while dexing? Comments? Questions? Concerns? Thanks. I can't believe this is an actual subreddit. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Two of my best friends are getting married in a week. I was asked to be a wedding officiant, they asked to make it "funny". Any ideas? | Hi! My friends asked me to be their wedding officiant and it wouldn't be so hard for me if it weren't supposed to be "funny". I've researched tonns of material and all I found was some measly youtube video and few wedding jokes. There are lots of scripts for traditional weddings, but almost nothing funny or chuckle-worthy. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!
edit: I gotta adress something, I don't feel akward joking, I am mostly very positive guy, and I have reputation of "funny guy", but it's hard for me to write jokes on demand, that's why I need help, may be someone can help me with a script or a part of it. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Trojan War reference in A Clash of Kings [no spoilers] | I am currently reading through the *A Game of Thrones* books and stumbled across something puzzling in *A Clash of Kings*. Tyrion, in one of his chapters, makes a reference to the Trojan War: "Words he had never meant to speak came tumbling out of him like mummers from a hollow horse."
The obvious initial reading of this sentence is Tyrion likening his speech to being normally disguised as a gift but at the time being revealed with an alterior motive. This reading is likened to the tale of the Greeks attempting to penetrate the city of Troy in Homer's *The Illiad*. The Greeks offered a gift of a large wooden horse to the Trojans, seemingly in good faith, however the horse was filled with Greek soldiers that would evacuate the horse that night and destroy Troy from the inside. The reference to mummer's would be actors portraying *The Illiad* as a theatrical piece.
From this reading, are we to assume that our history is assumed knowledge by all characters in the story? Or do we treat the narrator as separated from the world, like a storyteller (the narrator being a conduit for characters' thoughts)? Or are we to assume that there is a tale similar to *The Illiad* that has occurred in the "A Game of Thrones" universe to which the narrator is referring?
Being a novice reader of the series, I have no knowledge of any statements George R. R. Martin has made regarding this, nor if there are more such references in further books.
What I would like to know is if we are supposed to take these statements for what they are, or attempt to infer something about the world as it may relate to ours. Personally, if my reading is correct and it makes an internal reference to the Trojan War, I think it could expand the stories exponentially to tie in with our own history and draw readers into *A Song of Ice and Fire* even more than it already does.

How much culinary knowledge was exchanged between China and Italy esp regarding culinary techniques? | Some say Marco Polo brought pasta to Italy, but even if that was true there seems to be a great deal of similar food. Tortellini]( seem very similar to [Jiaozi, and also Pierogis, Pelmenis, Varenykys, etc.
Also what was brought to China? Looking at ancient Roman cuisine, one would think a lot of cheeses would have been introduced? Even the cheeses where terrible, I would think that there would be more creme/mlik-based pastry.
Considering how the Emperor, at least, would be privileged enough to try a big wallop of whipped cream. I've read the the Chinese should not really be so unfamiliar with dairy considering the abundance of goats and horses. Kumis was big with Mongols and even the Indians use milk. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
[SV] just entered the 15 stone bracket for the first time in years! | As the title suggests, I just hit 15 stone 13lbs.. I've not seen that weight since ~2007 I think! 5 years to get this fat, then 2 months to get into the 15 stone bracket again! =D
Keep all of the inspiring posts coming /loseit.
EDIT: Moar info!
Starting weight as of August 1st 2012: 17 stone 8 pounds.
Weight today: 15 stone 13 pounds
I achieved this by doing the following:
Cycling 10km on my exercise bike daily, however I don't go self-hatred mode if I miss a day.
Cutting out sugar from my tea, coffee and cereal.
Not snacking AT ALL. I was snacking on fruit at first, but I realised that I wasn't actually hungry.. Just eating for the sake of it.
Not drinking soda (other than beer/cider on nights out)
Not eating convenient frozen food (oven chips, microwave meals, frozen breaded chicken etc. etc.)
Eating 1500 calories a day fairly strictly (BMR is 2500 I believe)
I'm sure I'm doing some things wrong/could be losing weight quicker, but this works for me and I intend to stick with it.
Thanks for the comments =) | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What do you think: Ranked 5 Team Icons | I play arranged 5's ranked with a group of friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the professional team icons during the season 2 world championships, but I thought it would be pretty cool for active teams to be able to upload their own team icon to represent themselves -- pros and amateurs alike.
I understand that there would be a number of things that Riot would have to address before even having to consider such an idea, but I thought it would be a pretty awesome perk for arranged 5 teams.
To prevent abuse of people just starting a ranked team to upload a new icon to use, they would have to reach a number of, I don't know, games played as a team threshold before being able to upload it through a team management section at the official website or something.
Does anyone else think this would be pretty awesome for their casual/competitive ranked 5's team? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
IRS Can Double Tax former US Citizens Even Decades After Nationalization/Tax Declaration in Another Country |
*cognito*: **This means that Americans living abroad are assumed guilty of a financial crime, even though they owe no taxes, unless they spend time and money proving themselves innocent.**
>***quant18***: "First, American citizens who live overseas cannot take advantage of U.S. tax treaties to reduce their U.S. tax bill. The treaties are specifically designed this way (it is called the "saving clause") and Congress will not ratify a treaty without one. In the U.S.-Sweden Treaty, it is Article 1, Paragraph 4: "Notwithstanding any provision of the Convention except paragraph 5, the United States may tax its residents (as determined under Article 4 (Residence)), and by reason of citizenship may tax its citizens, as if the Convention had not come into effect. For this purpose, the term "citizen" shall include a former citizen whose loss of citizenship had as one if its principal purposes the avoidance of tax, but only for a period of 10 years following such loss." And FBAR fines are not a tax. So a tax treaty is of no help in saving you from them.
>Second, the $92,900 exemption only applies to wage income. Not to bank interest, social assistance payments, dividends, gains from selling your house in the country where you live, appreciation of assets inside a mutual fund or a retirement plan, etc. If you have not reported any of those to the IRS, they regard you as a fatcat concealing offshore income and assess you additional fines.
>And finally, not only do you have to report all the above types of income to the IRS, you have to report it on complex forms which most US domestic tax preparers have never heard of: forms 3520 and 8621. If you only filed a 1040 for the above types of income, you are NOT COMPLIANT. The IRS sees you as guilty of concealing an offshore (constructive) trust or offshore "passive foreign investment company" and may assess you penalties for failure to file. Look at the instructions for those forms and see what the failure to file penalties are. FATCA will bring non-compliance to the IRS' attention." | reddit_title_body | 25 |
[Interest Check] A few Legal / Law Courses | **General:** There are a few topics that I'd be interested in teaching. The depth would somewhat depend on how well I know the topic, but it would be ~~around the level of an undergraduate~~ [a] survey course.
**Qualifications:** Rising 3L at the bottom of my class, at a top 30 law school in the United States.
**Effort:** I'm willing to dedicate the next two months, and since my classes resume in August, intend to be done before the end of that month. I may move fast.
**Potential topics**
* **Fourth Amendment** - Search and Seizure.
* *Income Tax* - Heavily statutory.
* *Constitutional Law* - A theoretical overview, with extra focus on the 2nd and 4th Amendments.
* *Bankruptcy* - A mix of statute and theory, without focus on forms and filing.
---
**Update**: Thanks for the votes and critiques. There's clearly some interest, yet a very real (and reasonable) concern that it be of adequate quality. I sympathize with the idea that professionals would ensure a high level of quality, but given that none have bothered to teach a law-related course and students have taught other courses, I feel it might be worth a shot.
I've begun working on a course-plan and the first lesson-plans for a Fourth Amendment course. However, I won't commit to teaching it until I'm sure that the course would be accurate & worthwhile. So don't put your life-plans on hold, lol.
If anyone knows of free materials on the topic, then I would greatly appreciate links (pm or comment). Most people won’t have access to WL/Lexis, and I expect that citing cases won’t be of much benefit to people who aren’t proficient at reading them.
And for any law-students: If you want insight into what makes a good exam response, try writing the exam. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

And I'm using the terms 'security' and 'computer security' so broadly because I don't know all that it can offer, I know there are different parts of sec like network security and web app security etc, so maybe a position that can help dabble in different types of security also? Does anyone know what this kind of position might be titled?
I've only seen a few basic things like SQL Injection, XSS, packet sniffing, and even still on a very simple level, nothing too in depth, but stuff like this looks interesting to me, I just don't know where or how I could find a job doing it where I can learn more...

The Montreal Mirror is back! Sort of... | Announced on their Facebook page a group of writers from the closed Mirror have launched a site called Cult MTL. So far there isn't a lot of content but its good to see at least something starting up again. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Biggest motivation for music? | I recently started to pick up the guitar once again. It feels that when ever I do it is because I need to get rid of emotions and express myself. My question to reddit is what makes you inspired to make music? Any one can make music, but only a few actually connect to it. Music is said to be the one thing that touches the soul the most because of its vibrations. But yeah that's my question what makes you inspire to play or write music? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
SDCC 2012 THE WALKING DEAD ESCAPE EXCLUSIVE #100 COMIC | Is anyone interested in buying it? It's in near-mint condition. VERY miniscule bend on top right corner.
This exclusive variant cover is only available from SDCC by participating in The Walking Dead Escape, a forty-five minute long obstacle course weaving through a Walking Dead themed course.
$90.00 PLUS Free S/H
Edit: Willing to barter or sell for best offer.
Edit #2: Scan of cover.
Edit #3: I took a look at the picture and there's no weird discoloration on the comic book itself. That's just shitty scanning. The color and shine is the brand-new kind. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What is the best use of time and money in regards to promoting video content? | I've been recommended to buy ads, and have people write articles, but that advice seems to be in every "how to build an audience" rulebook. So, I figured I'd ask here! What (in your opinion) is the best, or one of the best ways to promote your own video content?
Thanks :) | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Spotlight equivalent for Linux | The biggest thing I like about my Mac is using spotlight. I like that to find something, I hit one button on the keyboard, start typing, and it shows up in a list, usually already highlighted before I finish typing the word. it searches within the contents of my files, specifically PDFs. Is there a way to replicate this type of indexing and searching on a Linux installation? I've become a fan of using a search box over clicking through various levels of menus and whatnot. I like the idea of the unity search ability where I press a key and start typing, but don't find it to be as good. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks for any feedback

Who else is bummed that you avoided pictures when you were bigger... because now you don't have a "Before" picture? | I actively avoided photos when I was extremely overweight.
If I was at a party and someone pulled out a camera, I'd do my best to casually and discreetly circle away from it.
This is how bad it was-- I don't have a single picture of myself in Southeast Asia because I opted to be the photographer for the group (that way, I physically *couldn't* be in any pictures-- another slick trick I learned).
But now, I have no photographic basis to represent my starting weight. The only picture I have of myself from the past six or seven years is a candid shot from a shitty cell phone camera where the lower half of my body is obscured. Don't get me wrong, you can still tell I'm fucking huge.
Anyways-- treat this as a PSA. If you've started recently, swallow your pride and take a picture of yourself straight on and from the side. It'll hurt now, but it will fuel you later on. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Durant... The Versatile Ant That Won't Easily Be Squished | Personally, I've always loved Durant. It has good base stats, but it rarely sees use in battles. I have a few sets that are pretty different that you may want to try.
-------------------------------------------------------
Choice Sweeper
Jolly (Adamant is viable if using scarf)
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP
Hustle
Choice Scarf/Band
X-Scissor/Bug Bite (if you don't like berries)
Iron Head
Stone Edge/Rock Slide
Crunch
This is a pretty "generic" choice set. I like it a little more because of the high-risk-high-reward ability, Hustle.
-------------------------------------------------------
Hone Claws
Jolly
EVs: 200 Atk, 252 Spd, 56 HP
Hustle/Swarm
Leftovers
Hone Claws
X-Scissor
Iron Head
Stone Edge
This set... is probably my favorite. You should have 304 attack stat, and Hustle (which I prefer) makes it go up to 456. After just one Hone Claws, it boosts up to 608. That's pretty darn good. The HP EVs are also pretty useful, as they capitalize on Durant's awesome base 112 def stat, and it ups Durant's survivability.
-------------------------------------------------------
Baton Passer
Jolly (see a pattern?)
EVs: 252 HP, 200 Def, 56 Spd.
Swarm
Leftovers
X-Scissor
Substitute
Agility/Rock Polish/Hone Claws
Baton Pass
Hey, this thing can even Baton Pass. Kinda self-explanatory, it can pass speed, attack, and accuracy. It's a decent niche role-filler.
-------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to all who read this, and I hope you enjoy and find use for my sets. This is my first post to r/Stunfisk, but I hope to make more in the future. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
How likely is an application to Oxford be accepted with these grades in these subjects? | Hi! I'm thinking about applying to Oxford, for maybe an engineering/physics (hopefully aerospace/aeronautical) course (not maths), and I have these AS grades:
(apologies; I can't really remember my UMSs)
* A - Math
However, I'm terrible at it, around 256/300 (85%)
* A - Physics
Around 261/300 (87%)
* A - Chemistry
Around 266/300 (88%)
* A - Economics
200/200 (100%!)
What if I applied for economics? Can I change courses once accepted?
Anyway, since Oxford places greater importance on grades (and the interview), will these get me in? As you can see, although As, they're pretty mediocre As.
Also, any tips for a personal statement for Oxford? I have to do the bulk of it this weekend (I'm an international student).
For A2, I'm going to continue with the same subjects, and will hopefully (probably) get predicted As in all of them. I'm aiming to get a few A [stars], but I don't know how to convince the teacher that I'm going to get them, for them to put A [stars] in my predicted grade.
Any other general tips for applying to Oxford? And is it the same for Cambridge?
Thank you! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
