Camry is eating gas when AC is on. | Every time I turn the air conditioning on the gas gauge goes down about 1/8th of a tank even if it's only on for a few minutes. It's drastic compared to when it's turned off. Is this normal?
The ac works and blows cold and it's a 91 Camry. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I don't understand why everything gets down voted | So I've been lurking for about a year and I've noticed something confusing: everything, no matter what, gets a huge amount of down votes. Even items on the front page. For instance:
Bill Murray walking down the hallway. Great video. What's not to love?
11,671 up votes 9,174 down votes
WHY?
Or a cheetah and a golden retriever picture. Beautiful.
10,259 up votes 8,321 down votes
WHY?
I swear, if someone cured cancer using kittens and bacon, it would still get down voted to hell? So my honest question is, what makes you down vote everything, Reddit? I don't understand. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
ELI5: Why the road looks reflective when you look far ahead, but looks normal upon approach. | I'm trying to word this as best as possible, so sorry if the title comes off as confusing. Basically, whenever I'm riding in a car and I look further ahead, the road seems to reflect everything and looks like a sliver of a mirror, but whenever we get closer the sliver closes and everything is normal. What exactly causes this? When I was little, after seeing the Matrix, I assumed I was the only one who could see this happen and that it was the world rendering or something, and I was firmly convinced that I was The One. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[Advice request] Balcony planting, south facing, full sun, Toronto, ON. | Hi Gardening,
I'm soon moving to a condo with a 9th floor balcony and I'm hoping to have a few potted vegetable/herbs. I'm hoping to be able to eat what I grow. The balcony is south facing and there are no buildings blocking any light whatsoever.
Any advice on plants that are best suited for these conditions? I was hoping for basil, tomatoes, salad greens, rosemary, chives or that type of thing. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Is it just me or are the crowds for Killers shows getting much older? | Not that there's anything wrong with an older fan base. I also realize they've been around for almost ten years. So naturally, the audience gets older. But, I'd never thought I'd see large crowds of 40+ sometimes 50+ year old people coming to see The Killers. I feel like the only guy in my early twenties when I saw them last week and when I saw Brandon Flowers live. My friends and I started listening to them in junior high. I feel like I'm at a Bon Jovi concert now. How did The Killers get such an older audience for being around a relatively short amount time? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I messed with my biscotti recipe, and they turned out really bitter! Where did I go wrong? | I made this biscotti a few days ago and it was so good, I decided to make another double batch.
In an attempt to make them a bit healthier (2 family members are on a diet) I subbed half of the oil for applesauce and half of the sugar for splenda. Big mistake! They were really dry and flavorless. I also accidentally used baking soda instead of baking powder. After they were done baking, I tried them and they had this awful bitter aftertaste. It tasted like...I don't know...if you've ever eaten an acorn, it tasted kind of like that.
So now I'm left with all this biscotti and bitterness :(
Here's the recipe I used:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (I replaced half with applesauce)
- 2/3 cp sugar (I replaced half with splenda)
- 3 1/4 cp flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 T baking powder (I accidentally used baking soda)
I also divided it into four flavors: cranberry-walnut, cinnamon spice, pistachio, and chocolate-hazelnut.
Was it the baking soda that made them so bitter?
I guess I learned my lesson not to mess with a good recipe! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

What is a good, easy-to-use website or PC game that my grandmother can use to play card games like bridge? | My grandmother uses Windows 7 Home edition. I don't use PCs; I downloaded Hoyle Card Games 2012 off of their website -- which they said was compatible -- and was unable to install it because of an error message. After that, she tried to make an account at Pogo Games but ended up getting roped into a phishing scam. Is there a reliable website or CD-rom that she can use to play card games like bridge? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Reddit, 30 years from now what do you think will be the equivalent to a "classic rock radio station"? | This is a very ambiguous question but was just wondering the other day what kind of music will have taken the place of classic rock today when I'm 50 (so in 30 years), and what the equivalent to a classic rock radio station will be.
Just to be clear I don't mean what "rock music" will evolve into. I mean how classic rock was the music (of many) of our parents' youth and something is going to end up replacing it, what will it be? Could it be rap? Electronic music? And will radio stations be completely phased out? Do you think we will still be using online streaming (and if so will it be recognizable at all)?
**TL;DR - When I'm an old fart, what music is going to define my generation and how am I going to listen to it?**
Anyways sorry for so many aspects to this, hopefully someone else finds this interesting enough to toss some ideas around! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
HELP! My dog is suddenly afraid of the backyard | My dog loves going outside. She gets so excited just hearing the word "outside" she'll scrach and bark and knock things over. When she's out there she'll run around, do her business, start mess with a neighboring dog, or if my mom-in-law's dog is out. And she loves balls. If she sees one of my nephew's, she'll grab one and even throw it herself.
The last few days though, something has terrified her, and she hasn't forgotten. She'll still get excited, but once we reach the door, she's completely spooked. I literally have to go out back with her. Even then she'll pace halfway across the yard, look at the house, then hide back on the patio. It's getting harder and harder to get her to do her business, and I'm afriad she's gonna have an accident inside.
I can't quite figure out what it is. If I play with the ball, it'll distract her, as long as I throw it away from the house. We have a tree bushy thing that could have housed a bird or wasp, my nephew beat on his bedroom window that scared her one day, we had an exterminator out that sprayed the place recently, and when she's far enough away, she'll get on her hind legs and look at the roof. I just can't figure out a culprit.
Anyone have any advice, or knowledge of strange behavior such as this can help me out?
**Update**
She's doing a lot better. Last night I went out with her with a spotlight and shone it around, didn't see anything. Today she's gone out on her own all three times. She perks her ears cautiously once she exits the door, but once she trots into the yard, she's fine. If a bird or wasp did attack her, or if it's just a growing up thing, she's getting over it. Thanks everyone for your advice and recommendations. I'm much more relieved knowing she's okay. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
How do they calculate world destruction by nuclear bombs? | I have heard for years "There are enough nukes to destroy the world X times over." How do they calculate that?
I ran some numbers and I'm missing important bits to the equation.
There were about 23,000 nukes in 2009 Source.
Assuming a worst case scenario where each war head had an average yeld of 1.2 Mt (Largest active in US arsenal) Source.
Each bomb will destroy everything in about an 8 mile radius Source]( So one bomb would destroy a 200 square mile area [Source]( So 23,000 bombs x 200 sq mi is 4.6 million sq mi. [Source.
The earth has 57,500,000 sq mi of land area Source]( That's only 8% of the surface of the earth in a worse case scenario [Source.
This does not factor in fallout or changes to the global climate which could be calculated, but how do they calculate it?
Impact to the global economy and to the world food, water, and energy supply is a factor, but how much?
Are the secondary and tertiary effects of the nuclear bombs enough to destroy the other 92%? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

AskReddit, do any of you know anything about glow
in the dark shoes/light up shoes? Not kids shoes,
size 14 (US). | I saw a spam image on Facebook about shoes that glow and I realized how much I want a pair! I searched and found the Nike Air Yeezy. They sell for like $6,000 so fuck everything about that. I also saw some that, I assume, have LEDs embedded in the sole and the slightly translucent sole glows. Couldn't find any of those.
If you don't know of any shoes that fit my description maybe you know of an extremely long lasting glowing material. Most of the glow stuff I found lasted, at most, hours.
They need to be at least size 13 (US) and preferably similar to Nike Dunk or the high top Adidas Classics.
I don't need to hear your opinion on how they'll look or whatever, I'm here for the answers.
Edit: This is the inspiring picture. Looks Photoshopped to hell. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Ok here goes nothing. "It Was Written" is a better album than "Illmatic", and here's why. | Well after watching this video clip about the group Slaughterhouse picking there favorite three albums I decide to have a listening night.
I listen to both albums back to back; "Illmatic", then "It was Written" and I come to the conclusion that "It Was Written" IS a better album than "Illmatic.
THIS ISN'T AN OPINION, IT'S A FACT. (Just kidding, it is an opinion.)
"IT WAS WRITTEN" had better producers(Dr. Dre and Havoc) while still bringing back producers from his first album like DJ.Premier and L.E.S..
It Was Written also had better features(Foxy Brown and Lauryn Hill) while still bringing back rappers from his first album like Az. It Was Written had more songs, better hooks, and simply a better Nas.
Please don't downvote if you disagree, just state why you think i'm wrong {or right} in the comments.
Thank you. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

HELP: Looking for a particular old mecha anime! | Hey guys. I'm looking for an old mecha anime, probably from the late 80s/early 90s. All I remember were that the robots ate stones/rocks, and the main mecha was frozen for a while before emerging from ice as a gold plated mecha. Any idea?
EDIT: Descriptions of the anime;
1. Main character was a very young boy (art style similar to the kids from GaoGaiGar; ONLY THE KIDS as far as I remember). He really did look like a boy, not a pre-teen.
2. The boy wielded a sword and wore a ragged cape
3. Mecha was frozen in ice
4. Mecha emerged from ice in a gold plated armor after a climatic event (My brother don't remember this)
5. Mecha ate rocks/stones (Brother said this, and my confirmation bias says yes)
6. Setting was in a fantasy land (I don't remember cars or collared shirts being in existence)
Been on my mind for almost a decade...help!

He got better with his other arm but was never quite as good as he was originally. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Making a deep earth exploration game, but know very little about Geology. I would love feedback on a few questions! | I'm currently starting work on a deep earth mining game, with the playable areas between the lower mantle and outer core. Now, I love hard Sci-Fi, but for obvious reasons, we have to assume that the issues of pressure, cooling, and maneuvering a ship deep underground have been solved. That sad, I would love to make the game as geologically accurate/consistent as possible (so it doesn't end up like "The Core"). Since I know very little about geology myself, I have some questions:
-Since water and air is clearly a necessity, but there are no lakes that deep, what kinds of rocks at this depth would contain the highest concentration of oxygen and hydrogen?
-How... (and this is where I show my ignorance) "lumpy" is the magma in the lower mantle/upper core? As in, would there be boulders of certain ores or minerals floating around? Or would be mostly homogeneous?
-What is the barrier between the mantle and outer core like? Is it subtle? Same for the inner and outer core, how quickly does it transition?
-And finally, name any other cool things I should take into account that deep in the earth! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Openoffice document generation from template in Python: what's your opinion about appy.pod, py3o.template or some similar package I'm not aware of? | I'm trying to investigate the current best method/package to generate OpenOffice documents from Python. I found the two libraries mentioned in the title. I need basic loop support (to generate tables with a variable number of rows) and placeholder substitution. The template itself should be easy to edit in LibreOffice/OpenOffice.
**py3o.template** seems to have no documentation at all. That's enough for me to say it's unusable. Correct me if you have experience with it and you think it works well. Or I missed the docs and you can point me to them.
**appy.pod** hasn't seen a release in three years, and that's scary too.
Did you solve the same problem (or a very similar one) recently? How? I'm also interested in non-python solutions. jodreports seems just what I'm looking for; but maybe there's something in Pythonland.

Anyone willing to part with a bomb threat t-shirt? | Hey guys! I'm a student at Pitt and I'm looking for one of the bomb threat t-shirts (the ones that say "Keep Calm and Hail to Pitt") as a present for my sister.

Sex on the first date: A query... | So someone on my Facebook just posted a story of a girl who thought sex on the first date was normal. The responses were... surprising.
Here's my question: Do people REALLY think that fucking on the first date is so outlandish, shameful, crazy, dangeous, etc. that they'd never do it? Or is society at large populated with hypocrites and liars?
I've fucked on the first date. Hell, I've fucked BEFORE the first date. Nothing shameful about it, in my eyes, and I don't think less of a woman for it - nor do I think more of a woman for waiting an arbitrary number of dates before getting in bed with me. Life is short - you wanna eat dessert first, go ahead.

Algorithm to center multiple objects | I'm writing a program to center multiple objects on a window and I am having trouble finding an algorithm. I am using one input variable asking the user the number of objects they want displayed, represented as circles. What I want the computer to do is to display them evenly along the x axis. For example with a window with a width of 100, inputting 1 would place a circle at an x value of 50, input 2 is two circles one at 25 and another at 75, input of 3 is three circles 25 and 50 and 75, and so on. My algorithm is xPos = ((windowWidth / userInput) * currentCircleInQuestion) / 2) where the algorithm is placed in a "for" iteration and currentCircleInQuestion begins at 1 and increases by 1 until it is equal to userInput. I am using the Processing language. This hasn't been working, what am I doing wrong?
**edit:** I am an idiot. Where I was wrong was at ") / 2)". It should be ") - ((windowWidth/userInput) / 2)".
**edit:** Never mind the circles, they are an example that can be changed to any object be it pictures, rectangles, or triangles. I only want to solve for the x position. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Convincing my Anti-PC Brother to play LoL with me. | So this morning I convinced my Brother (Who only play video games for his ps3) that he should play a game of League of Legends with me. After some convincing he agreed that he would play ONE game with me, so I am looking for any and all advice you guys can give as to how I can hook him with just this one game.
*My plan*
* Teach him all of the roles (ADC, Bruiser, APC, Support (Probably not), and tanks) and see which he likes best, maybe with comparisons, such as how he played as a two-hand weapon wielding maniac in skyrim.
* Explain to him what items do what and things such as AP, AD, and unique abilities (gp10s).
* I will be playing in the same room as him and am going to just lane with him against lvl 1 scrubs to try to teach him the basics (Im gonna try and resist the urge to carry hard).
*Questions I would like answered*
* What would be the best course of action for playing, ie. If he invites me to a party and then we joined solo que, would we get matched up with lvl 30's because im lvl 30, or would we get matched up with lvl 1's because he would be lvl 1?

Another one from Bromos Tinychat: Swallowing + Facials yay or nay? | Last time the question was about rimming, but 2 other things came up on Tinychat last night.
Thing 1- Spitting vs Swallowing. Do you prefer to swallow? Do you hate the taste of cum? Do you like having the other guy swallow?
Thing 2- Facials: Yay or nay? Ever given yourself a facial? Ever gotten one from someone else? Did you *hate* it? Did you ***love*** it?
And for each one, could you care to tell us why? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Xuefeng's Rice Field (149 of 300) | **Main Case:**
One day Xuefeng said to the assembly, "What we are talking about is like a rice field.^1 It is dependent upon the people plowing the fields and planting the seeds.^2 Do not miss receiving this gift."^3
Xuansha said, "Then what is the rice field itself?"^4
Xuefeng said, "Look!"^5
Xuansha said, "Although what you say is correct, I wouldn't say it that way."^6
Xuefeng said, "Then how would you say it?"^7
Xuansha said, "One by one, each and every person."^8

**Notes:**
1. Actually, it's ultimately not like anything.
2. Blinking the eyes, raising a hand, covers the heavens and encompasses the earth.
3. Thus we bow to each other.
4. Did he miss the point, or is he testing his old master?
5. He has taken in everything.
6. This one is not easily satisfied. But say, where can he go with it?
7. He wants to know if this is an impostor or an adept.
8. Living in the same household, they both know the cupboard well.
---
**Commentary:**
Those lost in the mundane seek solace in the sacred. This is because they have not as yet understood the sacred matter of ordinary household activity. The wholehearted practice of the Way simply has no edges.
It is because the truth of life is beyond existence and nonexistence that there is plowing the fields, planting the seeds, and thus a rice field. Indeed, it is because of this gift of activity that one's own self has come into being.

**Capping Verse:**
The buildings and the grounds

Ok, reddit, when you have "deja vu" do you match what happened in your deja vu or do you try to change it. when you try to match it does it work? | Edit: when you have deja vu do you feel as if (1.

New startup in charleston wants your input. | Fellow redditors, I am a new employee at a startup in Charleston and I want to hear your ideas about what we're doing. We have built a new platform for business owners and consumers to interact and communicate about deals. We are NOT like Groupon and living social. Instead of like them we want the power back into the merchants hand where you post your own coupons/deals(% and $ amounts) with your own time limits. Where groupon/living social offer a single deal a day which can overwhelm a business and limits the amount of consumers have access to the deal, we can give the merchant options and targeted deals.
Just to clarify, Im not promoting or plugging the site, but just curious how charleston feels about this since we are launching here in the next few weeks. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
It's that time of year - Open Enrollment. Compare HSA to PPO? (US) | As the title says, it's open enrollment for many of us. We have the option to utilize HDHP/HSA or PPO this year. While an "expense estimator" is provided, it's rather useless. I'd prefer to download my expenses this year and plug them into a spreadsheet or program to see how my real world costs would change by changing plans.

Something that may help NVidia users with stuttering problems | NVidia has developed a new technology called adaptive vsync. Here is a review of it at HardOCP.
For a quick summary, vysnc forces your FPS to be capped at at fraction of your monitors refresh rate (60 hz for most LCDs, so therefore 60 fps). But, because of some technical reasons, its not just a cap. Lets say that your framerate drops to 55 fps, then vsync will drop your fps to 30 FPS because its a divisor of 60. So your FPS caps go 60 -> 30 -> 20 -> 15 etc.
When the game suddenly drops from 60 to 30 fps, its very noticeable and causes stuttering. There are some nice graphs at the HardOCP article that show it quite nicely.
NVidia has made it so that vysnc can be dynamically turned on and off. So its on when your FPS is higher than your refresh rate, and turns off when it drops below.
It's only available in the latest beta drivers.
* Win 7/Vista 64 bit
* Win 7/Vista 32 bit
* Win XP
edit: To my knowledge, ATI does not have anything like this even in their beta drivers. If someone knows something to the contrary please post it.
**edit2: The adaptive vsync is not enabled by default. You must go into the nvidia control panel (just right click on the desktop and choose nvidia control panel) and go to Manage 3D Settings and under the global tab scroll all the way down and change Vertical Sync to adaptive** | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Are there any well-known books where the author slowly lost their sanity during the process of writing? | I just finished Tolstoy's War and Peace and it's interesting how philosophical his writing gets towards the end. It's almost like the book changes in line with him during the long process of writing.
It got me thinking about whether there are examples of works that experience extreme changes in style because of shifts in the author's own life. The best example I can think of is the loss of sanity where a book would start out straight forward and slowly become unintelligible.
Edit: Lots of responses, great. Make sure to include descriptions of what happened to the author rather than just titles. Also, I'm looking for individual books that were written over a period of time, not careers. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Ever get to hangout with a friend or family member you hadn't seen in a while and they die a couple days later? | Recently I had a really good friend of mine pass away in a car accident. She and I were childhood friends and always talked on the phone after moving to different colleges. We always said we would hang out and never did for various reasons (distance/work/school). Well, it had been roughly 2 years since we had seen each other and I randomly said I'm going to come see you. So we got to hang out for about 2 quality hours. And 2 days later I find out she died in a car accident. I feel very fortunate to be able to see her that last time.

Does a device exist which will take advantage of my phone's processing power and be able to behave as a simple laptop? | So phones are becoming more and more powerful and there are 2 very powerful Android quad-cores on the market at the moment.
I want to harness that power to do more than angry birds and reddit is fun, I want to turn it into a device I can use as a laptop for simple tasks like internet browsing and word processing.
The hardware is there, and the phones are more than capable of running a flavour of linux which can do this, even android itself is being used beyond the scope of mobile phones in smart tvs, tablets etc etc. Why not a practical laptop? It's possible, is there hardware out there that allows this to happen? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

He claims that it wouldn't be taken seriously and it would almost be kind of disrespectful to the male wrestlers, but I truly believe that someone like Kharma or Beth Phoenix or some other credible female wrestler could be a great world champion. Plus, haven't female wrestlers won world titles in the Indys? I want to know what you guys think. Would you mind seeing a female competitor win the big one? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Boyfriend is a propeller kisser and I don't know if I should tell him. | My boyfriend (m16) and I (f17) have been dating for about a month. He has a tendency to be a bit of a propeller kisser from time to time. That means that when there's a little tounge action happening when we kiss he'll kind of spin his tounge around in my mouth like a propeller. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's usually in a really intense or passionate kind of moment and when he does it, it kills the mood. I want to tell him, but he's always scared he's doing something wrong. I probably would bring it up in as nice of a way as I could manage, but I'm scared that I'll make him even more paranoid than he already is. What should I do? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

I made a game a while back, people enjoyed it. Last year I showed a demo at SXSW Screenburn Arcade. Here is what it is like from the other side of a game show. | So needless to say, setting up a single person booth on a non existent budget is intimidating when surrounded by the big dogs.
Setting up album
People playing the game
*Back story*
So way way back I made this game for the drum controllers called "Dead Beats", a non rhythm based shooter. I showed it at an independent game show and a developer in Austin picked it up, then dropped it thanks to the economy crashing.
I on and off developed for a few years, until I had a rare chance to purchase part of a booth at SXSW Screenburn Arcade. Everyone who played the game loved it. Now, after some motivation from several people, I am going to create a kickstarter.
I need to do a little tweaking to the game, then I will be giving out the alpha version to try to help spread the word once I get the kickstarter up and running. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Orange van parked in front of my house | Throwaway as I am a regular poster but scared shitless right now. Sure with a title like 'Orange van parked in front of my house' there isn't much to think about. For the last few months a late 70s/early 80s orange van has been parked along the street of my house in North Seattle (near Chucks) The owner, who sleeps in it, meticulously moves it every 3 days to avoid towing the vehicle.
Unfortunately neighbors and myself know that odd activities surround this van. From drug dealing (it is obvious...) to the neighbors having to enjoy hearing him having sex with random women. Fun right?
Well tonight it came to a head. My fiancé and I came home and the van was parked literally next to our drive way. I made a (yes dumb) comment that I cannot wait for the SPD to eventually tow away the thing because its an eye sore. Words ill regret as what happened next was terrifying to both of us. As we are getting ready for bed I heard the van door open. I walk to the front of the house and see the owner walk into my front yard. Open my mailbox, look around and takes a leak against my house. I immediately call the cops and they show up 15 minutes later. The cop said they have had multiple calls but their hands are tied. Him and his partner stick around for 30 minutes and take off. I now have a very scared fiancé who no longer feels safe in her home and I'm actually pretty terrified as well.
So what am I supposed to do here? Get a gun license? Keep calling? Seriously I can only see this escalate. I no longer feel safe in my home with that van parked along the street. My fiancé is pretty scared as well. What is my recourse? The cops were clear that they can't do squat, so am I supposed to take this into my own hands?
TL;DR creepy orange van parked in front of my house with owner sleeping in it decided to piss against my house to tonight and we are scared shitless. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Need help with loops and interest rate | The assignment is to create a program that uses interest rates, essentially takes the principal (100$) at the rate of 4.3%. The question is to find out how long it takes the rate to reach 300$. Here is what i have so far.

To those of you born 1990 or later, does music from the 80s sound "old" to you? | I was born in 1970. By the time I was old enough to appreciate older music in my teens I noticed that music from the 60s and 70s sounds older, partly because of the instrumentation and the themes of the songs from that era, but mostly, because recording technology was less developed then, with less dynamic range and some noise introduced by the limitations of analog recording equipment. By the time the 80s came around the recording quality improved along with the advent of purely digital recording and mastering. To me, music from the 80s forward has about the same fidelity as music from the 90s and onward. For you younger folks, are you able to discern differences between music from the 80s and music from the 90s and beyond? If you don't already know that a song was recorded in the 1980s can you still tell that it sounds like its from this era? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Serious question: Reddit, do you think we are smarter than other people? | Growing up, I was considered really "smart" because I could read well, test well, etc. In reality, I was in an area where people are generally poorly educated, so I wasn't as far ahead as people would have liked me to believe. Then I got to college and realized that, in a group of intelligent people, I'm usually on the dumber end of the spectrum. So, is the reddit population on average more intelligent than the general population, or are we reflective of it? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I want to cut away part of my already existing acoustic guitar. Is this a safe idea? | Years ago, I found a used acoustic at a local music story for about $60. Super cheap, and with a decent set of strings it actually sounds pretty fantastic. Anyways, it's not a cutaway, and I've been contemplating making a cutaway for it. I found this instructional on doing a homade cutaway, but I figured I'd ask people who might've done it already first.
If you've made your own cutaway:
* Was it much of a hassle?
* Did it make a noticeable difference in the intonation?
* any tips/better instructional?
* Is it risky, or fairly safe?
Any feedback is appreciated, even if you want to tell me I'm a dumbass for even thinking about doing this. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Why wouldn't they all just use the same standard?
>edit more the fact that Tesla invented AC as far as i know in the US and it was adopted worldwide to distribute electricity why wouldn't all the other countries just follow the same standards plugs, voltage, phase etc? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Can you remove the smell of onion from your hand with stainless steel? | Recently, I complained of my hands smelling like onions for hours after chopping them. A friend told me that stainless steel "soap bars" are sold because stainless steel is supposed to remove the smell of onion, garlic and fish. I can only find anecdotal evidence to support this and wonder if anyone knows if this does work, and if so, what is the chemistry behind it? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
[For Hire] Junior Programmer Looking For Experience | I'm simply looking for experience in software development, design, and testing. I'm good as either cheap labor, or open to volunteer experience for a non-profit organization. I'm unfortunately living and working in Chicago, IL at the moment, but since I have a leased apartment in Green Bay, WI, and most of my family and friends live in that area, I travel back often on the weekends. If you're looking for a cheap programmer to help on a project, I'll accept pay as low as $11/hour and am definitely willing to move back into the area.
I can't afford to move back to Green Bay if it is an unpaid volunteer position, unfortunately, but I can visit on weekends and work remotely.
Programming Experience:
* 3 years of university programming at University of Wisconsin - Green Bay
* Proficient in Java
* Experience in C++
* Experience in Perl
* Experience in SQL
* Experience in HTML, CSS, and Javascript
* Knowledge in C#.NET
* Knowledge of Linux and BASH Scripting
* Knowledge of Object Oriented Programming Principles
* Knowledge of the Model-View-Controller design pattern
I specifically differentiate 'knowledge' and 'experience' as 'knowledge' being that I understand it and have perhaps used it to a limited extent. 'Experience' is that I have used the technology enough to understand its syntax and types. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
