[TOMT] [webcomic] people sitting at restaurant, vegetarian gets lectured by meat eater about how vegetarians lecture people about their dietary choices | I've been trying to google it but no luck.
It's a black and white comic with about 6-10 panels, in rows of two or so.
It's got 4 people at a restaurant, someone orders the vegetarian option and this other guy goes on this rant about how much he hates vegetarians because they always end up giving this huge, long, sanctimonious rant about what they eat and can't they just eat whatever they want without being given the third degree, etc.
Ends up with the ranty guy at the table on his own (since everyone else thinks he's being a douchebag).
EDIT: It may have been a tumblr comic, or just a once-off picture someone drew. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
A perhaps a bit jaded question. How is sex special with a partner special when you are horny every day anyway? | Maybe I'm different, but I mostly get horny when I have a partner. He turns me on and makes me want to have sex or masturbate (if we don't see eachother for a couple of days). So when I'm single I can go weeks without masturbate. But my current SO have always fapped, everyday, a few times a day. So now when he has me I'm just his human fapping toy, no? He would get horny with or without me, and sometims it feels like he just needs to come, like it's not about the sex and the connection, more about the daily orgasm. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

If you happen to be in or around Dover, I would appreciate if you stopped by. Or if you know anyone in Dover who is hungry: tell them about this place. The owner is retired Air Force and has been working non-stop to get the shop opened. At the least think of it as doing a fellow redditor a favor.

Reddit, I've been using a face wash that expired in 2008. I thought it wasn't working because it was old, but it still bleaches my towels. How can this be? | More details: I've been trying to get my acne managed again and I have been using this Proactiv set my mom gave me when I moved in June. After weeks of no improvement and faithfully using it, I checked the expiration and the cleanser (which contains 2.5% benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient) expired October of 2008. My question is, if it expired almost four years ago, how is the active ingredient still bleaching my towel to shit? Or is it actually a different step of the system that is responsible? I'm experimenting with a new system now until I can get into a dermatologist (combination of loreal face washes and skin ID) but I am still curious about this | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Trail building guides and tips | Hello fellow MTB'ers. My family has a few acres of woodlot with a cabin on it, I was thinking it'd make a great place to put some private single track, plus if I want to expand, we're pretty good friends with all the neighbouring property owners, so they probably would give me permission to build.
I was wondering if anyone has some links to guides and some tips/tricks to trail building. I plan to head up in a few weeks, and GPS and mark out a few tracks to start building this summer. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

How can I legally heckle and/or run abortion protesters out of town? | I live in North Dakota and as the whole country thinks, we are pretty sheltered. Due to the upcoming elections, abortion protesters are holding up very gruesome pictures of fetuses. I do not care if anyone is pro-choice or pro-life. I just want these people to go away so I can go to Cold Stone creamery and eat my ice cream without looking at a dead child. Is there anything I can do to stay within legal limits yet still get on their nerves as bad as they have gotten on mine? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Why appraisers want to quit appraising. | I appraised a very charming vintage cape cod with lots of recent updates in a very desirable neighborhood a few months ago. My conclusion of value was $155,000. The appraisal was done for the mortgage on a sale for $154,000 after 28 days on the market with the seller having dozens of showings and a couple other offers in the $150-154k range.
Yesterday, I received a 3 page letter from a review appraiser two counties away that wants to quibble on two incredibly insignificant points. The first is the alley material, I wrote asphalt, he says stone. In reality, it used to be asphalt, but has since degraded in portions to a loose asphalt. The second is the upper limit for houses in the neighborhood. There are maybe 6-10 really gorgeous turn-of-century mansions a couple blocks over that are 6000+ sf and professionally restored to their former glory, so I put $1,500,000 as my upper limit as one of them had been recently listed at $1,550,000. Then this guy decides the house is worth $110,000 based on some shitty rental houses in much less desirable neighborhoods. Now I have to write a long letter and defend my report. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Hi r/standup! An audience member stuck sitting in the front row asks... | ...how do you make it clear to the guy/gal on stage that you do NOT want to be part of his/her routine?
I was recently stuck in the front row of a standup show and the emcee ragged on me whenever he came on stage. I have a look that apparently made me an easy cud for him to chew on. It had been a long day and was not in the mood for that kinda shit, so when he went into his "Excuse me, where are you from?" schtick I only grudgingly went along, which only added grist to the mill. The rest of the comedians were hilarious. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Arnold Vs. Arnold Vs. Arnold Vs. Arnold Vs...... | If all of Arnold Schwarzenegger's characters were to battle royale one another, who would win?
I originally wasn't going to post this because I immediately assumed The Terminator would win. However, my fiance made a compelling argument that Dutch ("Predator") could win because he had to outsmart the predator, especially by cloaking himself from heat vision. there's also the argument that Jack Slater ("Last Action Hero") could win because he can never die. But that's only true if he's in the movies. And if that's the case Sylvester Stallone is The Terminator and therefore disqualified from the running.
Sure some characters like Det. John Kimble ("Kindergarden Cop") and Howard Langston ("Jingle All The Way") will be difficult to see surviving. But, still I will give you a full list of who's in the battle for Fairness sake (keep in mind he argument is for his lead roles):
Good Terminator (Terminator 2&3)
Bad Terminator (The Terminator)
Gordy Brewer (Collateral Damage)
Adam Gibson (The 6th Day)
Jericho Cane (End of Days)
Mr. Freeze (Batman & Robin)
Howard Langston (Jingle All The Way)
John Krugar (Eraser)
Alex Hesse (Junior)
Harry Tasker (True Lies)
Jack Slater (Last Action Hero)
John Kimble (Kindergarden Cop)
Douglas Quaid (Total Recall)
Hauser (Total Recall)
Julius Benedict (Twins)
Ivan Danko (Red Heat)
Ben Richards (Running man)
Dutch (Predator)
Mark Kaminsky (Raw Deal)
Joseph P. Brenner (Raw Deal)
John Matrix (Commando)

I'm a Hofstra student. O'Reilly's crew is here, asking students if they're liberal and then grilling them. I have a prediction for an O'Reilly factor segment tonight. | So basically, the Fox people (Bill's correspondent Jesse Watters and others) are asking conservative students why they like Romney, and liberal students are getting questions like "define the private sector" and "who is the secretary of _____".
Not that it's wrong to ask them those questions, but I'm predicting a "Look at the dumb liberal college kids" montage coming soon.
Why is this (grilling students) okay, but asking Sarah Palin (a potential VP) basic history questions in 2008 disrespectful and unethical?

A Fairy Godmother walked thru the forest.... | A Fairy Godmother was walking thru the forest when she was approached by a yellow frog. When the frog saw her, he immediately began to beg "Please, Please turn me green like the rest of my friends!!" So, the Fairy Godmother granted his wish, "Abracadabra!" and turned the frog green.
The frog was delighted... until he looked down, and noticed one thing.. "Hey!" he said, "My penis is still Yellow!!"
The Fairy Godmother replied "I don't do those.. You'll have to go see the Wizard of Oz!". So, the frog hopped off in search of the Wizard.
As she continued to walk, she was approached by a purple bear... the bear begged "Please, Please Fairy Godmother, turn me brown like the rest of my friends! No one likes a purple bear!" So, the Fairy Godmother granted his wish,"Abracadabra!" and turned him brown.
The bear danced with joy.. until he looked down. "Wait!" he exclaimed, "My penis is still purple!" The Fairy Godmother replied "I don't do those... You'll have to go see the Wizard of Oz".
The bear said "Well, I'm willing to do that.. but how in the WORLD am I supposed to find the Wizard of Oz?"
"That's easy!" exclaimed the Fairy Godmother.."Just follow the yellow dick toad!" | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Joined a martial arts program where you had to dress up as a Ninja Turtle. | The whole thing was popular enough that they had to hold the training sessions in this massive warehouse out in a huge field. All of the participants seemed to be roughly my age or older (that is to say, not little kids, which is what I would have expected). Either the real Splinter was teaching the classes, or just someone with an absurdly convincing Splinter costume.
At one point I was driving around the field for some reason and I went above 60 miles per hour, a speed that Splinter decided was excessive. The next morning he ordered me to go work at a nearby car dealership for a day as punishment, but the guys who owned the dealership were totally awesome and down-to-earth -- they invited me inside (it's crazy hot in a TMNT costume, as it turns out) and each called up Splinter and convinced him that I didn't need to be punished. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Frankly, she is hoping that her gender will push the admissions council in her favor.

Any advice will be appreciated!

Awesome Entrance Songs for a wedding party? | One of my best friends is getting married in less than a month and the wedding party has been told that we get to choose our own entrance songs.
There are four "couples", plus the maid of honour and best man, and of course, the newly wedded couple, so there's going to be six songs in total. My groomsmen and I are trying to each pick 5-10 songs and narrow it down from there. I'm thinking that I want to do something fun that's not been over done but I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas.
I'm not above embarrassing myself for a laugh (and neither is my groomsmen) so any suggestions are welcome. Bonus point if we can enter while dancing ridiculously. So Gangnam Style and Party Rock Anthem are already on the list but I'd love some more classic tunes to pick from.
Thanks Reddit!

Ontario government publishes draft cycling strategy | The Ontario government is proposing a new cycling strategy. But while there are some sensible points, in general the strategy is very poor on specifics and some suggestions would be really bad ideas.
There is a 60 day public consultation period and you are encouraged so submit your comments. Here is mine:
"I disagree with the Chief Coroner of Ontario's recommendation to mandate helmet
use for all cyclists.
While the evidence is clear that a helmet may prevent serious injuries in the
event of a crash or collision, mandating helmet use is counterproductive for
improving bicycle safety in general for a number of reasons:
1.) Mandating helmet use promotes the image of cycling as an inherently
dangerous activity, which requires special gear. Instead, a positive image of
cycling as a casual and enjoyable form of transportation should be cultivated
that is inclusive of all genders, age groups and skill levels.
2.) Adults should be free to make their own judgements about what safety
precautions they want to take.
3.) Many cities such as Toronto and Ottawa have (with the help of public funds)
installed public bike rental systems, such as Bixi. If helmet use was
mandatory, these rental systems would loose their purpose as a convenient and
casual transportation option. Very few Bixi users would in practice bring their
own helmets when renting Bixi bikes and helmet rental is completely
impractical.
4.) A mandatory helmet law weakens the legal standing of a cyclist who has been
involved in a collision with a vehicle. Even if the driver of the vehicle was
fully at fault for the collision, his or her insurance may attempt to deny
compensation to the cyclists if he or she was not wearing a helmet at the time
of the crash.
5.) A mandatory helmet law is detrimental to encourage more citizens to use
bikes, as it increases the cost and decreases the convenience of cycling.
However, one of the most crucial factors of bicycling is a critical mass of
cyclists on the road, as
a) drivers will be more accustomed to seeing cyclists on the road, and
b) larger numbers of cyclists make investments in cycling infrastructure more
economical and politically popular
6.) Much more important for cycling safety than mandating helmet use is the
provision of adequate infrastructure and effective separation of motor and bike
traffic. Helmets do not prevent collisions, whereas well designed cycling
facilities do prevent collisions from happening.
7.) Most of the countries with the highest standards of cycling safety, such as
the Netherlands and Denmark, do not have mandatory helmet laws. The main
reasons why these countries achieve such high safety levels is precisely
because of the before mentioned reasons:
a) a large number of cyclists and share of all trips taken by bike,
b) large investments in well designed cycling infrastucture, and
c) cultivation of cycling as a casual, inclusive, accessible, and convenient
form of transportation.
I very much hope if the recommendation of mandatory helmet laws would be
removed from the final proposal and thank you for the effort to improve bicycle
safety and infrastructure in the province." | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Does resetting your PC to factory settings restore all drivers, even ones that have been deleted beforehand? | In an unfortunate turn of events, I have deleted the driver for my wireless card. I did this because I was led to believe that once I deleted it, it would restore itself once I rebooted my PC. Now this obviously did not work, and in retrospect I do not feel very bright for believing this would solve my problems. I have attempted to re-install the driver by downloading the driver from the Dell website, and then transferring the file to my PC through a usb stick. The driver which I am talking about is I believe of the Intel(r) Wifi Link 1000 type. Once I attempted to re-install the driver, an error message came up telling me that there was Intel(r) component detected, even though I know for a fact that that was the type of driver that I deleted. Now after also having tried to reinstall the driver through the Dell Recourse CD, and still remaining unsuccessful, I am wondering if Reseting my PC to factory settings will restore this driver? I am not very worried about losing all my data due to the fact that I back up my PC on a weekly basis.
Thanks you in advance
tl;dr: Will restting a PC to factory settings reinstall the Wireless Network Driver? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

3 year old eating paper - pica? | The preschool teacher just told me that our 3 year old regularly tries to eat paper cups at school (and is sometimes successful). They thought she'd knock it off, but it's become a pattern so she let me know. They do tell her not to eat the cups and try to watch, but it's at lunch or snack when they give them water in the cups. There is lots going on at those times, she sometimes gets to it before they can stop her.
She doesn't eat paper at home with us. She was at the doctor for a physical two months ago, she's not vitamin deficient, or at least she wasn't then.
We are her foster parents. She has been in and out of foster care since she was 2. Fortunately though, she has been with very loving people her whole life (we also know her old foster mom), regularly sees her bio family and they interact with her appropriately. So it's not the worst possible situation, but it's not ideal either. She has calmed down a lot since coming to stay with us but she is still very stressed out for a three year old. She is very smart and verbal. She expresses herself very well about day-to-day kid things but I think she has complicated thoughts about her family and her situation that are beyond her ability to express.
I'm not quite sure what to do about this paper eating at school though. It does seem like it might be pica because of her emotional state, rather than just weird kid stuff. We are going to tell her social worker and her doctor, but any one dealt with pica in a preschooler before? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

IAmA Granddaughter of the CEO and Chairman of an international, multi-million dollar company. I was raised as a member of the 1%. AMAA- Again! | As said in the title, I am the second-eldest granddaughter of the chairman and CEO of an international, multi-million dollar company. My grandfather passed away a few years back, and my uncle is now CEO. Our company makes over 250 million dollars in yearly revenue. We are members of the 1%. I grew up with a nanny, tutors, private schools and a maid. And yes, I had a horse.
I know this has been done before, but I figured that I could bring a bit of a different light, as I am not expected or encouraged to be a part of the family business and am instead expected to stay quiet, pretty, and shop or go to the spa and marry a nice, rich, Jewish doctor or businessman. So I can give a lot of insight into the world and lifestyle, ie the yachts and the parties and the jewelry and celebs. Shit like that. I am considered the family black sheep, though, in more ways than one.
I'll answer pretty much everything except requests for money or identifying details.

Decent budget accommodation in Sydney CBD? | I live ~90 mins away from Sydney, and often there are times I need to go out on a Friday night, but still need decent sleep to get up the next day, with things to do in the city.
I've noticed there are lots of hostels around, but are any of them "decent".. By that I mean... clean, somewhat isolated from noise, BEDBUG FREE.
I've noticed YHA has rooms now and then for under $120, this is as low as I've seen for a proper hotel.
Anyone have any first hand experiences with cheaper accommodation in the Sydney CBD & surrounding areas? Places with parking preferred. Late checkout would also be awesome. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I submitted a question to Razer over email, how will I get a response? | I submitted a question to Razer over email. The page I submitted from looked like this.

Drivers of Reddit - to those who drive in the passing lane, at a speed equal to the vehicle in the next lane, why? Why not slow a bit and move over and then match the speed you were going? | Pretty much says it all.
In the US, the furthest left-hand lane is the "passing" lane. You are supposed to be in that lane only long enough to pass traffic in next slower lane. Why would you stay in that lane? Is it because you haven't completed passing a vehicle that is going the same speed as you?
I really want to understand the reason for having 2 cars abreast going the same speed, or very close to it. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Anyone who has a spare ticket to the They Might Be Giants show on February 2nd, please help me out. | Reddit, I am coming to you in need. I promised a good friend of mine that I would help him get tickets to see our favorite band, They Might Be Giants, at the Granada in Dallas on February 2nd. I messed up though and now all the tickets are sold out, even on online resellers. I feel awful for getting his hopes up for nothing and I really want to make it up to him. I want to just give him my ticket but I would also be his only ride.
Anyone who has a spare ticket, please contact me, I am more than willing to compensate you handsomely for the ticket.
TLDR; I need a ticket to see They Might Be Giants for a gift, contact me and we can work a deal. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I'm a 26 yr old University graduate, have worked for government and a big 4 accounting firms. I hit the reset button and change jobs every few years because I always feel like a fraud who has no idea what he's doing and will soon be found out. Is this a common feeling reddit?! | Everyone thinks I'm smart but I think that I'm a good bullshitter. Once the 'grace period' of learning a new job wears off I usually panic and hit the reset button. I've changed careers twice already and have been at my current job for 1.5 yrs. I'm starting to feel the need to escape. I'm 26, married, own a 2500sqft house and drive a BMW but feel like a total fraud. I got good grades in school but have yet to accomplish anything career wise. I have a vast general knowledge base in many subjects/topics so everyone thinks I'm intelligent however once things drill down I'm a deer in the headlights. I feel like school was easy and manageable bit real life brings complexities that I can't understand.
TL:DR - 26, educated stable life...feel like a fraud | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What was your parents reaction when they found out you started having sex? | English is not my first language so be nice.
When my mom found out i was having sex, she went apeshit on me because she never let me explain that i wear condoms, so she thaught she was gonna become a grandmother. And then she found the place where i keept my condoms, she bought a fucking mixpack of condoms and gave it to me. But my dad's reaction was the best, he asked me during a car ride: "Have you fucked her?" I was blown away, i never exepected my dad to say that. But i answered: "fuck yeah!" I hivefived him.
I know that my storied arren't the best, but this is reddit...... So yeah. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Love the Sims, never tempted by Sims 3 | I've loved the Sims franchise since day one, and have got most of the expansion packs.
However, I've never really been tempted by the Sims 3. I've watched many videos and I'm not sure if I like the idea of not being able to enter buildings in town such as restaurants or shops. That was half the fun for me!
Also, the EPs seem to be pretty much the same as the Sims 1 and 2.
Should I take the plunge? Am I missing out on a lot? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Shining Armor & Cadance WIP | Something I'm working on. Right now I'm mostly looking for feedback on Armor and Cadance, as well as the general lighting/color scheme. Any comments/criticism are welcome though.
Here is my sketch layer]( to see where I started, and my intentions. Actually, if it's useful to anyone... [this is my *first* sketch]( which was then [developed into this; the sketch that I "promoted" to production is the third iteration. Point being, don't fret if your first sketch is barely recognizable; keep developing.
Some of my own thoughts:
* I threw confetti everywhere and made a mess; I'm planning to trim it down after I've placed all the ponies.
* Not yet happy with the look of the "magics" on Armor/Cadance's horns; don't really wanna go for show-style on them, but something more vibrant would be nice.
* Didn't want to do the wedding outfits (and/or hairstyles), but I'd consider adding Armor's red coat; yes or no?
* Luna looks derp-tastic and Celestia appears to be eying Twilight from across the room; I might take these two out anyway - not because I couldn't fix them, but I might put a lamp-post there instead.
* The lamp-posts are identical; I created one, then duplicated it just to see how it'd work if I placed another. I'll diversify them when I decide on their final placement.
* This is my first time drawing Shining Armor, Pinkie Pie and Applejack... so I think they look the worst in my initial sketching (aside from Luna... "I just don't know what went *wrong*...").
* Rarity's missing her horn; yup, I know.

Has a team ever 'thrown' a season for a better draft spot the following year? | I asked this within another thread and never really got a solid answer.
Is it possible that a team has ever lost a lot in a season on purpose to secure the #1 draft spot for the following draft? Some teams must know when they're not going to make it to the playoffs. Why wouldn't you just throw the whole season in order to give you an advantage in the next?
Has it happened? Why doesn't it happen more?
My knowledge of basketball is limited, but I recall something in the past about several NBA teams throwing games in order to get a better shot at getting LeBron James. Why doesn't that ever happen in the NFL? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
[Offer] Feeling really down. If you could share some of your joyful, bubbly, and up-beat attitude, I gladly sponsor today's dinner! | UPDATE: The following people have been gifted with e-cards: murphy1210, girlinacoma, and sunnyinphilly69.
Thanks to everybody who was kind enough to make a difference in my day. I am very grateful for all the love and kindness which was directed towards me.
Oh, and yes, I do feel better. :)
Yup, like the title states: I am feeling down. Totally blasé. Cried literally over spilled milk (well... It was Gatorade) this morning, and now have been sitting for a couple hours in my room staring at my laundry (which wants to get folded, I suppose). I have to go to work in 1 1/2 hours; not much fun either. Being unhappy about my love-life (non-existent), my figure (slightly too squishy), and other trivial shit. I need desperately to get out of this funk!!! So not healthy!!! Now, how you help me is up to you, but be creative? I am up to try anything. Whatever it takes to stop feeling so "blah"... Any ideas? The most effective will get rewarded, maybe the second best, too. :
EDIT: You guys made me already feel better. Still a little bit pouty and such, but at least I don't feel like I am invisible and wasting someone's air for selfish reasons. I liked your ideas very much, and I will try some of them. I promised already 2 pizzas, but eh... whatever... if you keep it coming I am sure I can squeeze 1 or 2 more pies out of my budget. Money doesn't make you happy... Pizza does. :D | reddit_title_body | 25 |
How gory is Pulp Fiction? I want to watch the film but im abhor blood/gore? | I keep hearing such wonderful things about this movie, but haven't actually got round to watching it yet (or any Tarantino movie) because I have heard they are quite violent. I know it sounds silly but I really dont like it.
Is it as bad as I think, but good enough of a film to watch it regardless? Or am I overreacting?
As a sort of guideline ill say that during the chainsaw scene in Scarface just the sight of the blood and the thought of it made me queasy. :( (god that sentence was awful before the edit) | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[Announcement] Need help connecting to Nintendo WFC? | This is how I was able to connect to Nintendo WiFi with my 3DS on Soul Silver. It might vary in other Gen 4 games, but you can at least use this as a sort of template.
1) Go into your router settings on your pc. (For example: on my qwest router you have to type in 192.168.0.1 in the address bar on my web browser)
2) Go to the wireless security settings and change the security type from WPA (or whatever it's set as) to WEP.
3) Make the authentication type is "shared" and use the custom key/passphrase to what you want. This will be the password for any device you want to connect in the future (ie. Laptop, Game console, etc.)
4) Set to 64 bits, if you have the option
5) Turn on your DS/DSi/3DS and go to "System Settings" then "Internet Settings"
6) If you're on the DS/DSi, go to "Connection Settings". 3DS users go to "Nintendo DS Connections" and select OK
7) Search for the Access Point, and enter in your passphrase you set earlier.
8) Huzzah! You're connected :) Have fun trading | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Renewing my medical questions | It's been 5 years since my last medical. I need to renew it before the 31st. The last time I got a medical, it was from the doctor that my flight instructor recommended (which I don't live there anymore), and I just paid cash for that doctor to give me my medical certificate. I think it was about ~$100.
Can my general doctor perform an examination and provide the proper FAA medical certificate documentation? I'm hoping to get this covered by my insurance rather than dishing out $100 or whatever to go to a doctor that can provide the FAA medical. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
If Life Expectancy Was Much Greater, Would You Still Remain Childfree? | I've been thinking about this a fair amount as of late. I don't really care to have a child, as I feel it would eat up far too much time in the prime of my life.
If you had a life expectancy of 200 years, and having and raising a child would still take 18+ years, would you go through with it, or remain CF?
I'd probably adopt a kid between the ages of five and ten, as I have no desire whatsoever to have my own loin baby - or any baby really. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

The bodyfat percentage thing isn't that accurate as I weight myself in the morning and you're really supposed to weigh yourself around 6PM to get a more accurate bodyfat reading (I think I'm more around 22 or 21%) but those home scales are notoriously inaccurate anyway.

Why don't mosquitoes spread AIDS? | I was scratching a mosquito bite while walking today and suddenly it dawned on me that mosquitoes come into contact with a lot of blood from different people. This made me wonder why mosquitoes don't spread AIDS since they are able to spread some other transmittable diseases like West Nile Virus.
Also, imagine if they could spread AIDS though. The devastation and the lengths humans would have to go to in order to eradicate mosquitoes are unimaginable. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
[Discussion] Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord | So I think we should talk about some fun ways to play with Jarad as a general. I personally have little experience with Golgari mechanics in EDH, but I imagine there can be some fun shenanigans to be had.
One thing comes to mind in particular: playing a bunch of hand control on your opponents, playing graveyard-pumped creatures like Lord of Extinction or Vulturous Zombie, then saccing them to Jarad to smack all your opponents in the face. I think this seems like a viable strategy, but I'm not sure how to build around it.

GF's ex continues to message her personal things... | Hi, I am a 20 year old guy and my gf is 21. We are both in college and have been going out from the past 1.5 years. She had a previous relationship in high school which ended because the guy left the country.
But over the course of the relationship, the guy in Korea has been trying to talk with my gf. Honestly it didn't irk me at all because I understand they had something special once and if they want to be friends, so be it. But the ex keeps sending her personal messages like "you were the best girl friend I ever had" and "I want to see you again". I didn't know about it for close to 8 months into the relationship until she told me. I told her I wasn't comfortable with what he was saying and so she told him that she wont talk to him anymore. I asked her to be honest about it with me if he does end up talking to her again. But I found out from her facebook (I was handing her cellphone to her due to an update and I saw his name had send her a message) again I trusted her and I let it be. But my curiosity got the best of me and I saw in her fb today that they had talked as latest as March 2012. It was the same type of fb messages from him and my gf telling him that she doesn't want to talk about that stuff on fb. I don't know if I should just let it be or if I should talk to her about it. I love her but I am also not addicted to this relationship by any means, if that makes any sense. I would appreciate any advice on a good course of action.
tl:dr gf's ex messaging her extemely personal messages, I asked if she could stop talking to him, she agreed she wont, but she continued to behind my back for almost a year | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Indoor soccer vs. Running Shoes? | I started playing cage or outdoor hockey rink soccer and I've been looking to pick up some indoor soccer cleats.

Any eco-friendly methods of ridding a lawn of white grubs? | **First off, I live in Ontario, and I don't have (easy) access to any Grub-X type of products that are commonly sold in the States.**
For the past 3 years, I've been fighting a losing battle with white grubs, and the battlefield is my back lawn. Right now, the grass is spongy, and patches are dying. To make matters worse, raccoons frequently dig up areas looking for dinner (grubs). I've tried spraying the grass with a soap solution, which works temporarily - but the raccoons always return for grubs, which eventually return as well.
A couple years ago, I dug up large areas, and re-seeded with new topsoil. Two years later, it's deja vu. I started on the project today, and dug up about 6 sq-ft of grass. The grass lifts very easily, as if it has no roots. The plan is to dig up the affected areas, seed, soil, and try the soap solution again. Maybe on a bi-weekly basis.
Any suggestions/recommendations? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[Guide] Setting up your computer to type in Russian on OS X. | Hi all! This guide is written based on my experience with OS X 10.6 (snow leopard) - for all the cool kids with the fancy new OSes, your milage may vary.
**Setting up your keyboard to type the Cyrillic alphabet**
1. Open System Preferences > Language and Text
2. Select the Input Sources tab
3. Check the box for Russian, and for Keyboard and Character Viewer
If all goes well, a little flag has appeared on the top of your screen, which can be used to switch keyboard inputs, and to activate the Keyboard and character viewer.
* A couple notes:
1. The Keyboard and Character viewer is helpful to new users typing in Russian. Having the viewer open will allow you to see where all the Cyrillic characters are while you are typing. When you get used to typing in Russian, you won't need this anymore.
2. You could also select the Phonetic Russian keyboard which attempts to map Cyrillic characters to their english equivalents, but I find that really confusing.
**Switching back and forth from English to Russian**
In the same menu, look at "Input source shortcuts". It has a link that will take you to the Keyboard section of your system preferences. Select "Keyboard & Text Input", then modify "Select previous input source" to a key of your liking. I set mine to shift+cmd+space. If you only need two keyboards like myself, you don't have to bother mapping anything to "Select next input source".
**Adding an accent mark to indicate stress**

"Reading this inspired me to do some research into this and I've found a way that works with Word and with Anki!
Basically, I downloaded this program and played around with it a bit.
I've gone ahead and made two versions of this: one Phonetic, the other the standard (PC) version.
Basically, all you have to do is press the '§' key in the very top corner (under the esc key) after you type the letter you want to put an accent on. Or try it out yourself!
This is what the layouts look like (I've added arrows)... the accent button goes where usually the '<' would be. Everything else remains the same.
I simply used Unicode U+0301 - acute accent, the one we've been using in this subreddit throughout.
Thanks for posting this and getting me to look for this other solution, I would otherwise have just kept copy/pasting the code - much more tedious.
Edit: Download from Wikisend:
Phonetic Layout
Standard Russian
Or GoogleDocs:
Phonetic layout
Standard Russian
Instructions: Simply copy these into the folder Library/Keyboard Layouts. This will be empty, but worked for me.
Let me know if anyone has problems with this. If anyone has any better ideas as to where to upload these, let me know!" | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Porsche Newb 99' Carrera 4 | I'm just starting to look at Porsche's and found a vehicle in my price range $20K and was curious on users thoughts.
Make: Porsche

Mileage: <103,034 miles
Price: $18,975
VIN # WP0CA2991XS655225

The cars options include 3.4 liter 6 cyl engine, alloy turbo wheels, all wheel drive, memory seat, 5 speed, power seats, power locks, power windows, and power mirrors.

Does this have the IMS issue?
Are there specific VIN's one should stay away from?
Are there specific build sites that were bad Finland vs Germany?
Just trying to make the best decision with the least amount of risk, any insight is appreciated. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Need an good brony music artist! | My friend runs a show on college radio I believe it is and his show is all about showcasing really unknown but really good artists from all types of genres. I was playing some brony music and he liked some of the ones however he doesn't want anything obviously pony. If you know of any brony artists from any type of genre that has songs that are far too subtle for a non-brony to recognize as a fan song I want em! I'm not even sure any exist but if he/she has at least a lot of subtle ones it will work because the listeners won't find out unless they look up the artists in more depth. Thanks in advance, looking forward to your responses | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What are some advanced/expert level PHP "tips" or things you may not know? | I've been doing PHP for a while now and I'm always interested in learning new things about it.
Here are a few of mine:
* Iterator - Allows you to use your custom objects/classes in foreach loops
* ArrayAccess
Googling Advanced PHP Tips only shows things like using ternary operators, isset instead of strlen, etc, things I consider intermediate. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Is the survival card in Dominant Species passed around? | Hi
When playing Dominant Species today we had a little discussion about the survival card. Most people thought the it was very clear that the card serves no purpose and if there's a tie no one scores the tundra.
It says to give the card to the player with the most species occupying tundra tiles though. Doesn't this mean that this is when the card switches hands, but once you have the card it can only be taken from you if someone has a larger tundra presence.
The way I see it it should work like this:
> **Game has just started**
> Player 1 puts one species on the tundra tile.
> Player 1 takes the survival card.
> Player 2 puts one species on the tundra tile. (now tied) Card stays in Player 1's possession.
> **Survival phase:** Player 1 scores one point from having the Survival card. Player 2 looks grimly at Player 1 saying this isn't fair, they have the same number!
> Player 2 creates a tundra tile which only he occupies. It's now 2-1, he has the most species on tundra tiles and takes the card.
> **Survival phase:** Player 2 scores points for tundra card.
Isn't this how it works? I think it makes sense too, the tundra fights a bit bloodier. If this isn't how it works and it's just a scoring mechanism I don't really see why there's a card to start with. Even symbolic it's stupid if you're just going to put it back right after scoring. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Is my CRT monitor gone for good? Need help diagnosing. | **Final edit**: Okay, I'll throw it out and get a new one.
A few weeks ago my CRT monitor started to display some odd behavior: sometimes it seemed as if the monitor was momentarily zooming into the image it was displaying, presumably because the electron beam cone was widening. Then it became difficult to turn it on at all: sometimes when turning it on, the monitor stayed dark, but still emitted that buzzing sound that you hear when turning CRTs off or putting it into standby. I could still get it on through some well-timed pressing of the power button (although it would take a few tries), but today that wouldn't work anymore. I opened it up, but realized that I know absolutely nothing about CRTs and how to diagnose them. Also due to the high voltages involved I'd rather not go on a potentially fatal trip of trial-and-error.
So, can anyone here maybe tell me what exactly might be wrong with my monitor, and whether it can be repaired? Thanks in advance.

Procreate or Sketchbook Pro? | I want to get some opinions on which drawing and painting app is better. I'm not professional by any means, but I want to make some finished pieces on my iPad. I've heard that Procreate has a better inking engine and has much more for painting. I have Sketchbook Express and it is a bit confusing for me. What are the pros and cons of each? Is there an app better than both? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
