LF: *Tornadus or Shaymin FT: Sturdy Magnezone with Tri Attack | The Magnezone **was not** bred for stats or IV's. It is transferred from my Ruby game and evolved. I dont know its EV's either.
He is Hardy Lv53, and knows Thunderbolt, Flash Cannon, Tri Attack, and Lock-On.
I am really just trying to finish my dex and its all legendaries that I am missing.
Shaymin or Tornadus are what I am looking for from this trade, but I am leaning toward Tornadus if possible.

1995 Acura Integra LS - A/C Problems | Back when I bought my Integra a few months ago, I was aware that the A/C compressor was bad. I decided not problem, I'll just fix it myself. Now, fast forward to last week. I finally got around to getting the parts and installing them.
I purchased an A/C compressor out of a parted GSR, a new pulley tensioner through Acura, a new belt, and refrigerant.
1. Removed the old A/C compressor
2. Installed the new one
3. Installed the tensioner pulley
4. Put the belt on, and tensioned it
5. Re-charged the system with 16oz (I believe fully charged is 24oz or 26oz)
6. Started the car up, turned A/C to max
Now, after I started the car up with the A/C to max a few things happened.
1. Engine was idling REALLY low, about 25% of what it usually does
2. Incredibly nasty smell
3. Engine began to vibrate violently
I decided to let it run until the car either died or settled down. After about a minute or so, the car calmed down. It was idling normally, and the smell was gone. However, the clutch wasn't engaging. Checked the fuse and it was blown. Replaced the fuse, everything was perfect! It worked great for a couple of days (around 4 or 5).
After it stopped working, I checked the fuse again as the clutch wasn't engaging. Blown fuse. Replaced it again to see what would happen; nothing. Now it's not working at all. I checked the pressure of coolant and my gauge has 4 possible results: under-charged, OK, over-charged, and possible mechanical problem. My reading was sitting at possible mechanical problem, and now I'm at a loss.
What do I do? What do I check?

1st Annual Amish Paradise Elimination Challenge | While we wait for Bukkit to update to the newest version of Minecraft, I still want to do something fun for our 1 Year Anniversary this week.
24 hours from now, at Noon CST on October 27th, I will reopen Amish Paradise with a new map. This map has special properties:
* 1000 x 1000
* No Nether
* No End
* ONE Life, No Tokens
* No Safe Zone
This will be the ultimate survival battle. We'll slug it out in this crazy map until a new Bukkit is available for us to create our regular map. Whoever notches the most kills will get something special at the end.

I'm scared to use my bathroom now... | Last week I started browsing r/creepy and r/nosleep as I was falling asleep. I didn't think I was scared until I went to bathroom a few days ago. I live in campus dorms and in our females restroom there is about 4 feet from the toilet to the stall door - it's a pretty big gap. I walk in one afternoon right before I was going to shower (which also is in a semi-public area too, we have individual stalls but nothing locks that well). Anyway, right before I got in the shower I decided I needed to use the restroom. I walk into the 3rd stall (after reading this
So I walk into the 3rd stall not really thinking about anything because I don't believe in the supernatural or anything, and I look at the bathroom door as I close and latch it and freeze in my tracks. On the back of the door is a GIANT hand print, I'm talking a foot long hand print, the fingers appear to be abnormally long. First thing that pops in my head is something this crawling out of the toilet. I laugh and think I'm being stupid and finish my business (btw you can't see it when you sit down, and 5'5" me - I can't reach the door so there is no way someone was touching it to "grip" or something while they did their business.
I was so freaked out by the hand print I ended up shaving 3 times since I was peeking out of my shower curtain to make sure I could SEE if something was coming for me..
Today in the third stall I sat again - the door has been cleaned so it's not there anymore, but I'm suddenly freaked out by my bathroom.
Here is the actual picture... doesn't look that scary but it's bigger than my head. This was also the only angle you could see it. I've tried to convince myself the janitor was cleaning the toilets and he tried to brace himself on the wall.. but there is a huge gap between the toilet and the door, and the fingers are freakishly long for a normal human.......

How do I toast a hamburger bun? | So I just cooked a hamburger patty on a skillet, followed by some onion slices, and both came out great. However, when I tried to toast the bun I couldn't get it to be as crispy as I wanted. Did I just not wait long enough, or is there a technique to it?

What are your favorite highly conceptual Sci Fi/Fantasy films? | I'm developing a film and I am looking for movies that take a highly conceptual slant on fantasy or sci fi. Films in the category might be Contact, Communion, 12 Monkeys, Le Jetee, The Fountain, Inception, 2001. The flicks that bend your mind a little, or a lot. Especially, but not limited to films involving aliens. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Has anyone heard of Nioxin? | So my hair is thinning and I have been losing it too, but I recently came across a hair care system called Nioxin. It has quite a lot of positive reviews on amazon, so I might try that, it is a bit expensive, so I was wondering if anyone here has tried it and whether it was beneficial or not? Also, all 6 hair systems are for thinning hair and hair loss, but I can't figure out which one I would need, so it would be very helpful if someone can tell me which system is for which type of hair.
Thank you | reddit_title_body | 25 |
If the top 1% pays 37% of taxes, why do people think they should pay more? | I mean I'm not taking sides. Isn't that more than enough? I feel like the rest of the people should be paying more. It seems pretty clear cut that the top 1% do indeed pay more than they should. Why couldn't all taxes be clear and simple, say everyone pay a #% and it be left at that? Would that solve the problem? Thanks for the input, I'm just trying to learn more about the political scene. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Every single pollster, including Rasmussen, projects Romney will lose the electoral vote - for Romney to win, the polls must be systemically biased against him - is this at all possible? | - Public Policy Polling's final polls project Obama will win 332 electoral votes.
- The Economist/YouGov project 303 electoral votes for Obama.
- Reuters/Ipsos project 294 electoral votes for Obama.
- Rasmussen/Pulse project 275 electoral votes for Obama.
For Romney to win, the polls - all of them - must be systemically biased against him. Are there any valid reasons to claim this is the case?
A argument I've heard for why this could be the case:
It's not unprecedented for every pollster to get a state wrong - the final RCP averages in 2008 for four states were off by five points or more - Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and Iowa, with the first two biased against Obama and the last two biased against McCain. If the polling happens to be off by this much in Ohio or Pennsylvania, there could be an upset.
Nate Silver may be projecting a very high chance of an Obama win, but if the polls are wrong, then the models and predictions will also be wrong; Nate Silver projected Sharron Angle would defeat Harry Reid by 3 points with 83.4% probability, and she ended up losing by 6 points - the polls were all wrong. Every single pre-election poll showed Angle with a decent lead over Reid.
The above polls were off because the polling samples did not match the electorate on election day. Conservatives are using these arguments as to why the polls are off this year:
- The voting preference of Independents
- Increased turnout of Republicans
- Decreased turnout of Democrats
- Early voting being more favorable to Republicans in 2012 than it was in 2008
- Romney’s favorability on the economy
- Many of the final state tracking polls were taken a few days out from election day when Obama was in the midst of his "Sandy bump", and support for Obama may slip slightly in the few days since then not polled, which may be enough to flip close states
Of course the problem with all this is that each year the side that polls show will lose come up with similar arguments, yet the polls are usually vindicated. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Melatonin for chronic insomnia? | So I just bought a bottle of melatonin (10mg) due to a hearing about its common use as a sleep aid of sorts,
I have chronic insomnia, having difficulty falling asleep.
I wanted to hear what you guys had to say, does it work? What would happen if I took a dose earlier in a day (late morning)? What am I to expect?
Any information you can provide is appreciated

I need help guys. I create a song in Reason just how I want it to sound, but then when I export it, it sounds completely different | I'm running Reason 5 on a laptop with an ASIO4ALL soundcard.
I will finish a song happy with how it sounds, but when I export it, the bass seems to get louder, the drums become distorted, low frequency instruments become distorted and clicks appear randomly. I have tried rewiring to Sonar LE and then exporting, but this makes no difference.
None of the channels clip, however they do go into the yellow bit on the flashy thing (excuse the lack of musical terminology).
My two questions are:
- Is there a way I can export a song to a wav file, and have it sound exactly the same as it is when played in Reason?
- Is this a common problem with Reason?
Thanks for reading. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Can't connect to the iternet, "DNS Server is not responding". | I have a Sony Vaio running Windows 7, and I currently can't connect to the internet via ethernet, but can through wi-fi. When I troubleshoot the problem, it comes back with "the DNS server is not responding". I would use wi-fi, but it isn't mine, and I'm not going to use someone else's connection. Also, I'm in a dorm at college, so I don't have access to anything other than the ethernet cable, the ethernet jack in the wall, and my computer. Any help on this would be awesome, as I'm currently stuck with using my phone for internet access.

I really need some help with a dominant Yorkie. My parents deny it. | My family has three dogs, two Yorkies and one lab mix. The Yorkies are my sister's dogs, and they occassionally come inside. However, her male Yorkie isn't let in as often because he marks his territory and is aggressive towards males (who are standing up). He was the first dog in the house, but my sister prefers the female Yorkie and treats her a lot better than him because she's "cuter."
I know the reasons why he feels like he should be dominant, but the problem comes in with his aggression. He has snapped at me twice when I have been trying to stop him from marking on furniture, and when I go to pop him, my parents and my sister get upset with me. I don't hit him hard, just enough to stop biting at my face. They agree that he has dominance issues, but they just wave them off as "normal for a male dog."
How do I both take care of his dominance and their denial/enabling? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Issue when deploying VM from template | Hey guys, hopefully one of you can help answer this for me.

When I go to power on the second VM it says the VMDK file is locked. After looking into it, both VMs are pointing to the template's configuration file.

Redditors. I am afraid to sleep. Any advice? | I am afraid to sleep....No. I am terrified to sleep. I am the kind of person who day dreams alot. Who is very introverted and isn't really outspoken. I think a lot in my head. I create scenarios of situations that might happen just in case that if they ever do happen, I will be prepared.
Anonymity is the reason why I am so open tonight. Maybe also because I hope I am not alone.
I am afraid to sleep because I am afraid to dream. I, try to know everything about something before doing it. But some things are spontaneous as you cannot gather all of the information. Such as meeting a new friend.
But as for video games, new food, new places to visit, so forth. I research as much as I can know about it. I create a situation in my head to be prepared for it.
But for a dream. I cannot grasp the concept of a dream. Mine are always vivid. It is like I am living in a new life. Most of my dreams feel just as I am living in real life. I cannot control my dreams, I just live them. Then I wake up and remember them clearly, like it was a memory that happened to me in real life.
So. Why am I afraid to sleep? To dream? I have utter fear at the thought that when I go to sleep in a few minutes, I will dream and I will not have control over anything.
I wish I did not have dreams. I wish that I could live off of no sleep.
But that's not reality.
Can anyone help me out here? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Update from Alaska State Convention, Day 1, SCC meeting. | Doing this on my tablete because I'm having an issue with getting my laptop on the wireless internet. So misspelling and grammer issues abound.
After a going through a long meeting the establishment passed a new in term rule on how delegates are selected. With out going into it too much, now all selected delagtes being selected be vetted by their supporting campaign. I supposedly the chairman gets to pick these people from the campaign.
**This is still not over yet as we have two days left to fight this. So no causing any issues from outside the convention yet. Leave us Alaskans a chance to handle this business first. We don't tolerate outside interference well and can cause a big blow back on those that do interfer.**

Were Jews just a scapegoat for the Nazis or were they somewhat responsible for the loss of WWI? | **I am not a holocaust denier and I believe that the extermination of innocent people including Jews during WWII was a horrendous act that never should've happened**
Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany's defeat in WWI. Hitler gained power from this idea and it seemed like a lot of people agreed with him. Is this just mindless anger where the German people had to blame something for their defeat? Or did the Jews legitimately undermine the war effort and bring the country into poverty?
I have limited knowledge on this topic and was hoping a few can fill me in.
I've heard maybe the reason Hitler hated Jews is that he saw them absorbed in self-interest and wealth and weren't as patriotic as most and were the cause of the homefront failure. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Enriched vs Depleted Uranium and War | Earlier this month was the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, in which a highly-enriched Uranium atomic bomb was used in war. Fast forward to modern day, military weapons feature depleted Uranium.
Given the understanding that nuclear warfare is not something we want on this planet, why is one version of uranium allowed to be used and not the other? Furthermore, are there large differences in effect; both short term and long term.

My OG was too high for my extract kit | I brewed this extract kit from Northern Brewer yesterday. The OG for the kit is supposed to be 1.049 but I got a reading of 1.060.
I tested the hydrometer by calibrating it with water at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and got a reading of 1.000 so I don't think that is the issue. The temperature of the sample was about 65 degrees, so I don't think it was a major factor in having a larger OG. I did do a larger boil volume (3 gallons instead of 2.5), but again, I don't think that was the reason either.
Does anyone know why my OG is higher than expected?

What music would you like to see in the radio stations? | I was really disappointed by GTAIV's radio stations, so hopefully they improve on that this time around.
More than anything, I desperately hope this song by M83 is in the game. Cruising through the beaches of Los Santos with this blasting would be *perfect.*
Even though I'm not really a country fan, I would like to see a country station return anyways, it was always amusing to listen to Queen of Hearts while tearing up the countryside in San Andreas.
I liked the idea of the indie-rock station, but I enjoyed very few songs in it. Hopefully they improve on that one a lot, because that's more the general kind of music I like.
Perhaps a Mexican station? It would make sense given the region, and would probably be pretty fun. There was a East European station in GTAIV, so why not?
Others I'd like would be Jazz, Top 40, 80's/90's Pop, Classic Rock, Punk/Metal, Funk/Disco, Electronic/Dance, Psychedelic/Progressive Rock, Old School Hip-Hop, and new West Coast Rap. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Again, all you banjo players, submit your version of Rudolph. And sing it as well if you're inclined. Looking forward to hearing all the versions. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Oral sex prevents pre-eclampsia? | According to a recent Norwegian article may prevent pre-eclampsia. Yes, my husband told me about this article with a hopeful grin on his face.
The relevant passage, translated by Google Chrome:
- Children father's semen protects -
A more sexy action, which may sound somewhat strange, is that oral sex should be able to prevent preeclampsia.
According to Dutch researchers, there must be a correlation between oral sex and a low incidence of preeclampsia.
"The study shows that oral sex and swallowing sperm is related to fewer cases of preeclampsia," the researchers wrote in their report.
The idea is that the women with normal pregnancies have developed a tolerance to the "foreign body" that the fetus is, while women with preeclampsia have an immune system that are not equally resistant to the process of developing a child in her body.
- Lowered risk -
If the mother ingests genetic material from the father, there is less risk that her body perceive the fetus as something alien and unwanted, and immune cells will allow the pregnancy to continue.
Physician and lecturer at the University of Trondheim, Kari Lion Dahl Mogstad, think it sounds logical that sperm might seem that way.
"This may sound odd, of course, out for the common man. But you think you see that it is beneficial to prevent preeclampsia that pregnant women have had prolonged exposure of the child the father's sperm in general, and this puts her body better able to 'handle' a pregnancy with a child, which of course consists of half foreign genes, or the father's genes," explains Leo Dahl Mogstad. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What would convince you that you are wrong? | Let me lead in with this, a paraphrase of some text in Richard Carrier's Defense of metaphysical naturalism.
*If you cannot think of any reason that would cause you to abandon your belief, then that belief you hold is irrational.*
If nothing exists (or could possibly exist) that would convince you that you hold errornous beliefs, then whether or not that belief is in fact true is irrelevant.
So /r/naturalism. What would convince you that your world view is flawed? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
orgasm help for me and my gf | hey reddit.
first sorry if my english is not perfect but i think thats not a problem?
now to the problem.
me and my girlfriend share a problem, we cant reach an orgasm during sex. we start with me going down on her till she orgasms and then i put my penis inside her (duh) and we start to fuck. we tried everything we saw on the internet that may help us but it wont.
i can get till the point that my orgasm is near but i cant cum or reach it without pulling out and grab my penis an rub it, if i dont do that it starts to hurt behind the penis and above the "ballsack" (again sorry).
my girlfriend is different if she is about to orgasm ( what is rare) i need to pull my penis out and she needs to press her legs together.
and another problem is that she dont feel my penis inside her, we tried much different positions but it wont help, my penis is not small its about 7" (or 17cm).
so r/sex whats our problem? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

I have an interesting question for r/paintball
All paintball companies simultaneously shut down for no apparent reason.
Which 1 company would you choose to not shut down, but make all paintball supplies. | Theoretically say, all companies suddenly shut down. You can choose 1 to stay alive, but they will be in charge of making EVERYTHING for paintball.
This 1 company will make all markers, hoppers, jerseys, tanks etc.
The quality of this final companies products will depend on the quality of their most selling products, ex: masks, hoppers etc.
If they are making a product they haven't made in the past, the quality will be that of whatever the average quality of the majority of their products are.
Say if you chose Dye, all of their products will be expensive. Including all the new items they make, will still be expensive for the average price range of that item.
Or say you chose JT, they make fairly high quality masks for their most selling products. So they would make fairly high quality markers, hoppers etc.
What 1 company would you want to survive, and be in charge of making EVERYTHING paintball, and why? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Mods of HiphopHeads, What has happened? No more freedom of speech in this subreddit? | Posts that are specifically designed to bash an artist/fanbase
ok.. so we can't talk about rappers unless it's positive? or unless we didn't create the post with that intention? That whole if you ain't got nothing nice to say don't say nothing at all is bullshit. If a post is popular a post should be popular. Thats why we have upvotes and down votes right?
But now we have mod's who turned this place into a shithole.
This is some conspiracy shit right here.
Beefing is a big part of what goes on in Hiphop there have been Beefs all throughout the history of hiphop. Why should we not be able to Beef among ourselves on this simple subreddit? That's why we have freedom of speech in some countries is so we can debate and point out facts others may have not noticed. Just the fact that certain people feel a certain way about certain rappers may be of interest to many hiphopheads.
Instead this subreddit has turned into a Facebook feed of people plugging bands, essentially free advertising. So you may say, GTFO then, and indeed. I will. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Symptoms of a loose barrel nut? | Does anyone know what the symptoms of a loose barrel nut are?
I attached my YHM barrel and forearm to my upper using the included YHM barrel nut wrench and a vice block without a vice (just held in place wedged under some weights). YHM just says to tighten as much as possible, but since I didnt use an actual vice I tried to check with a torque wrench. Had to stop when ill fitting wrench began denting barrel nut, but it registered over 40. I reattached the YHM wrench and hammered it back a little bit until the gas port aligned, I then finished assembly.
I have sighted the rifle in and it shoots fine. However, I want to know what to look for in case the nut starts to come loose. Anybody know any signs? Also, this thing isnt going to blow up in my face right? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Which fight are you more exited to see? Donair v Arce or Kahn v Molina? | Hi, fightfans. Today we have 2 semi-big fights. A toss up and a mismatch. Which fight are you most exited to see?
Donaire v Arce: Mismatch, we saw what Donaire did to Nishioka, and this shouldn't be any different. Nothing really exiting should happen.Donaire by Stoppage round 7
Khan v Molina: Kahn looking to make his comback, leaving behind his old trainer Freddy Roach and joining up with Virgil Hunter.Kahn is known for fighting off-balance and leaving himself wide open, I'd be interesting to see if Kahn listens to his new coach and changes his approach. Khans Glass chin always makes things unpredictable, because of that I'm not calling it a mismatch. If Molina knocks him out, it'll be something you don't wanna miss. Everyone loves an upset.
That's my opinion, what's yours?
Edit: Well, that Donaire fight was even worse than I said it would be.
Edit: Kahn is doing really good. Calm and short flurries. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Will Torres finally recapture his best form after tonight? | Players often need one moment for their confidence to turn on.
Some say RvP hasn't been at his best since his miss against Milan with the score at 3-0.
Torres appeared to be in ressurgent form earlier this season, then came the miss against United with an open goal at his mercy.
The winner in the 2008 Euro final for Spain aside, this is undoubtedly the greatest moment in Fernando Torres's time as a footballer. The emotions that he must have been feeling, I for one can't comprehend. It doesn't need description. We all know what he did. We all know how big it was. It had to be him didn't it?
He finished so calmly and assertively. What I'm asking now is; is this the thing that gets him his 'mojo' back?
I for one wouldn't be surprised. This could be the defining moment of Torres's whole career. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

See if you can guess before you click: Who was the last Australian PM to leave office on his own terms, having never lost an election? And no, dying is not your own terms. | Edmund Barton, Australia's first PM
#Graphical_timeline
Only three PMs, Barton, Fisher and Menzies retired on their own terms. Fisher and Menzies had previously lost elections before their final successful stint.
One could argue (although it's a bit iffy) that Fisher was going to be forced out soon anyway, as he had been overseas for several months and was losing support from his party anyway at the time of his resignation. So only Barton and Menzies left office whilst being completely sure they could have stayed around longer. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Review: Black Knight Shavette Straight Razor from MD Barber | Recently had the pleasure to do several wet shave services with the black knight injectable straight razor produced by MD barber.
The razor holds any double edge blade such as derby, dorco, etc.
The razor itself looks similar to some of the economic shavettes with a few key differences. The introduction of a third rivette gives the razor a solid feel and prevents the scale from twisting. The black powder coat prevents rust and add contrast between the blade and blade holder allowing you to see exactly where the cutting edge is. Overall the build quality is very good and the color scheme is unique to this razor.
The weight of the razor is pretty light, similar to a parker or most other shavettes. If your used to heavier razors it will be an adjustment however with the lightness you can really feel when the blade touches the skin allowing you to really let the blade do the work.
Although the holder looks similar to economy shavers
it feels completely different. Where as with the cheaper shavers the blade sits crooked and feels soft in the holder the Black Knight holds it dead even leaving just enough razor poking out the leave a perfect cutting edge. I feel like it was a very forgiving razor and it was not as easy to nick the skin or irritate.
One thing I really liked about this razor was pivot on the handle it was very tight and well made and grips the pinky finger making it very easy to hold as well as keep your 45 angle.
Overall this is by far the best Shavette I have used to shave both myself and clients. It is a light weight razor that is well constructed and looks quite sharp. The powder coat prevents rust meaning it will last for a long time. I love that it uses inexpensive double edge blades also. It holds blades perfectly and is extremely comfortable. I'm hooked and will continue to use this razor for doing face shaves.
If you are a barber looking for a more professional looking shaver for neck lines or faces do yourself and your customers a favor and pick this one up. For the average shave enthusiast who does not want to hone or strop razors this will be great for you as well it shaves much better in my opinion than the Parker straight razors and most other double edge holders. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Good News.. I think we may have found a way to avoid the stamina bug. Also vote on other slider stuff here. | Those who are unaware of the situation with 2k go on operation sports and read what is going on first. HERE
**There seems to be a way around this bug if we just simply set the sliders to custom gamestyle then we are able to play with the stamina and the fatigue rate sliders to fix the problem.**
The only down-side to this is that players will basically get tired at the same rate. Depending on turbo, intense D, and player contact used through a certain period will dictate that individual's energy.
I personally find this to be outstanding news, but I want to hear from you guys first to see what you all want to do. Keep in mind the opportunity cost is a Gatorade bottle popping up for D-Rose after he takes 3 dribbles his 3rd game.
Basically what we would do is set our fatigue rate to 42 and I believe stamina to 60. We would switch the "game style" from "default" to "custom" and essentially be left with custom sliders. Those who are more curious create your own online association and mess with it for a second after you do and go to:
>Options
>>My NBA Settings
>>>Game Sliders
Note I originally thought about us voting on game sliders, but there honestly is not a huge difference as you can see when you mess around with default and simulation. The big differences being in the amount of fouls calls in simulation. The free throw numbers will be realistic, but I would like to note that could be a good and a bad thing as it stops game action and will potentially makes games last 5-10 minutes longer.
I personally think the fouls could be a bit higher, but not near as high as the simulation game style has them.
**Simulation Game Style for fouls would be: (Default Game Style is all 50's, as set now, fyi.)**
* Over the back frequency: 50
* Charging frequency: 50
* Blocking foul frequency: 70
* Reaching foul frequency: 75
* Shooting foul frequency: 80
* Loose Ball foul frequency: 50
*I think we should lower the blocking, shooting, and reaching foul frequencies to perhaps have our own...*
**1) custom game style sliders of:**
* Over the back frequency: 50
* Charging frequency: ~~50~~ 55
* Blocking foul frequency: 60
* Reaching foul frequency: ~~61~~ 65
* Shooting foul frequency: 66
* Loose Ball foul frequency: 50
**2) Other miscellaneous custom sliders perhaps? (*strikethrough = default*)**
* Offensive Rebound: ~~50~~ 42
* Inside Shot success: ~~50~~ 45
* 3 Pt Success: ~~50~~ 47
* Dunk In Traffic Frequency ~~50~~ 45
* Alley-Oop Success ~~50~~ 45
* Blocking Frequency ~~50~~ 55 ( I think it's much too low for 2k13)
**3) Along with the aforementioned, stamina cure:**
* Fatigue Rate: ~~50~~ 42
* Stamina: ~~50~~ 60
**What do you guys think of the proposed custom sliders; 1, 2, and 3?** Fouls being **1**, miscellaneous being **2** and the stamina cure being **3**. Yay or nay? Comment below, please, on all three.**
If we do not hear too much opposition to any of them, these will be the changed sliders. We want everybody to input their thoughts below. Thanks.
Also make sure to check the revised guidelines/rules here. It is crucial we are all on the same page and limit ambiguity for this league to be successful and reoccurring. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Housing question: Rubenstein/Burstein | Has anyone here lived in Rubenstein/Burstein? My friends and I were looking for a triple for next year (would be getting a quad in Willis but one friend was a scumbag and backed out...), and there's no 360 tour of either of these dorms online. It's a bit hard to get an impression of how the dorms are just from the floor plans too.
So yeah, specific questions I have:
Our other options are a triple in Dav A/B or three singles in WVA-N. How does Rubenstein/Burstein compare to Dav A/B or Willis?
We also all currently live in Smith, so how does Rubenstein/Burstein compare to this?
Any general advice for cheaper housing that's not completely awful, or at least as nice as Smith is?

Does good exist? How? My Response leaves the instructor to only nod | So I went to my first ethics class... For some context: the instructor tells us of the conversation of Socrates and Euthyphro where Socrates is questioning what the gods say is good. My instructor then draws a mountain where gods are in the clouds and two arrows branch off to the side to represent the two goods Socrates mentions. One being what gods love making it therefore good and the other being the gods seeing good in the world and loving it for that reason. She then asks us which is true and then removes gods from the clouds and puts humans signifying that we are the ones who define good. It was a long debate where people were going back and forth as to how we define good and the same thing back and forth to the point where I chimed in with: "There is no definable good, it is always changing and evolving as we do. We once believed owning a slave to be okay and now we don't. Some people still think gays and wrong and should go to hell while others have made their own view of gays being perfectly normal. Even atheists, the most hated people in the world are progressively becoming accepted. Good is dynamic and always changing no matter what anyone's god says"
**TLDR: Does good exist? I silence the class's debate with my reply** | reddit_title_body | 25 |

How does an ant return to its nest? | This is an explanation of how a scouting ant directs the colony to food
I have two basic assumptions here:
1. each ant can only follow a few very simple instructions based on what it can sense in it's immediate surroundings
2. an ant will move in relation to higher concentrations of chemical signals in its immediate vicinity (away from them if scouting, towards them if looking for scouted food)
so my question is this, how does it follow its own "dotted" trail back to the base? why wouldn't it move towards the higher concentration of smells that it is leaving behind it in a continuous trail (and thus move in circles)?
this is almost a half entomologist, half programming question. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

What's the best way to send large quantities of money from China to the United States without leaving China? | I had an elaborate plan to set up a Chinese addressed Paypal account and private transfer the funds to my US addressed Paypal account. This would have been great since private transfers are free. But, I missed a detail that Paypal doesn't allow private transfers between international accounts and transfering any money would require a minimum of ~3% transfer fee.

Why is there such a large number of arguments where people feel the need to draw analogies? | Do people think an analogy proves something in a argument? I dont think it is helpful:
eg:
I think someone who is raped, should still have the child as it is against gods will to abort.
Rebuttal: Thats crazy, imagine you owned a plot of land, and someone came and dumped something there against your will, do you not feel you would be allowed to remove it?
What does this kind of argument even mean? I dont understand why everyone does it. How does a resolution come from this line of argument? I would say something like:
Rebuttal: I disagree, the rape is a violation of the persons most basic human rights, and studies have show it to be detrimental on a persons health physically and mentally. Forcing someone to then have a child can further damage their mental and physical wellbeing, in some cases, and thus forcing someone, I believe, would still violate their basic human rights. Since we cannot allow laws to destroy these basic needs that we are entitled to, it should not be forced, but left up to the victim to decide.
I mean thats a pretty basic example, but you get the idea right? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

My GF does not feel anything (emotionally) | Me: 18 GF: 16 Been together: 5,6 months.
I love my GF and I remember at the beginning of the relationship she told me something about how she doesn't feel anything emotionally, like she is detached emotionally and nothing affects her. She said her father is like that and maybe that's how she got that way. I accepted that and we carried on with our relationships.
Months pass and I tell her I love her (I really feel this way) and she said she loves me too, I'm happy and I think she's truly happy too. Now today we spoke about how her relationship with her friend is doing to well because her friend cares about her too much and she doesn't feel anything towards her, she likes being friends with her, but emotionally she doesn't love her, but the friend does. I asked her if she doesn't feel all the time. She said that she basically feels because she feels she has to, like she doesn't feel anything emotionally deep inside her, it's just on the surface and comes and goes.
I don't know how to deal with this, a GF who doesn't truly feel, makes me feel unwanted, unneeded. I feel if things end I will be the only one scathed. I always seem to invest too much in a relationship. Now I'm just looking for solutions on how to deal/help her and how I can be less Invested?
I'm not one to walk away, so breaking up is not on my mind and for some reason I think that can affect her more since she also has commitment issues, because her dad makes her mom sad because of the way he is and she doesn't want to do that to anyone else...
TL;DR GF hardly feels anything emotionally, I don't know how to deal with that and worried I'm the only one emotionally invested in the relationship. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I was involved in a fight with my family over a piece of chicken, which soured our 4th of July dinner. Has something so insignificant such as a piece of chicken ever caused a big, unforgettable dispute or argument where you've been involved? | My dad brought a 10 piece chicken dinner from Pollo Loco, where my 2 sisters, mom, dad, and myself had to eat from. Not considering there was barely enough chicken for us, my eldest sister puts away 2 pieces of chicken aside for her husband who was not present at the time. I call her out on it, telling her that she left my father, who bought the meal, with one piece of chicken. My mother enters the conservation and starts telling me how I've never loved my sister because we don't share the same father...blah blah bah! Our dinner was ravaged by a simple comment. So, in order to feel like I'm not the only one who has been through something so idiotic, I would enjoy hearing from you guys/gals! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What is the most underappreciated band you know, and why should they get attention? | I'll start with Alcest. A french death/proge/shoe/black whatever-band. As a metal fan, I fell in love with these guys immediately and I don't think they got the attention they deserve. Tell us what's your band that hasn't gotten the attention they should have?
Oh yeah, and why should this band deserve attention: Because they make music I can fall asleep to, in a good way. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Approximately how many chickens are eaten around the world on a daily basis? | Is it even possible to make a decent estimation as to how many chickens are eaten around the world during a 24-hour period? If so, what about other animals, like cows, pigs, etc.? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Some thoughts on realistic characterisation in games, prompted by The Last of Us E3 Trailer | Hey Guys/Gals, just wanted to share some thoughts i had having recently watched The Last of Us Trailer that was released at E3 a few weeks back. I somehow missed the video at the time and have only just seen it, but watching it set off a very strong reaction in me that has got me thinking about how so many mainstream games struggle with anything approaching realistic characterisation.
This was also majorly inspired by this article
The Last of Us seems to be about two survivors of some terrible cataclysm trying to make their way across a ruined city. The first 3 minutes of this trailer, as well as some previous]( [videos that have been uploaded got me really excited about the concept. You get a genuine sense of fear and trepidation about what these two are going through, as environments that were once designed for human use have become harsh and threatening.
That sense of fear is i think key, because that is exactly the same feeling i would have if i found myself in their shoes. It reminded me most of The Road]( which is a book I have only read once but which has stayed with me ever since. That sense of one desperate person trying to shepherd and protect another through a horrible, dark, violent world. Ok it’s not the most cheerful story, but it is powerfully affecting and genuinely makes you care about the characters. When at the end of [this trailer the young girl says “This is our routine. Day in, day out - all we do is survive. It never lets up” I got chills up my spine.
Then, from about 3:15 into the trailer, it all goes to shit. Our hero hears some people searching a building nearby. It’s clear from everything we’ve established up until now that these others are very nasty people and need to be avoided at all costs. In The Road, whenever they hear other people, the Man and his son run into the woods far from the road and hide, sometimes for an hour or more, until they are absolutely sure that they are gone. Because our man is human, and is trying to protect himself and his boy. Because that is how I would react. Because I would be scared.
But not the hero in The Last of Us. Oh no. This fucker goes into the building where the bad people are. Then he jumps on one of them from behind - someone he could quite easily have avoided just by hiding - and strangles him. Then he gets into a pitched gunbattle with the guys friends. At no point does he shout out “we mean no harm” or “just leave us alone, and we’ll leave you alone”. Ok maybe the people he’s fighting are monsters. But then our hero has a gun pointed at one of their heads, and his friend pleads with us to let him go. Our hero guns that guy down, then bludgeons a man to death. Then later a man, who is grounded and defenceless, pleads with our hero for his life. Our hero shoots him in the face. This is after the girl we are protecting has said “good job with the killing and stuff”.
Maybe I’m alone in this, but I found this all so horribly disappointing. Our hero had gone from being a real human being, to your standard run and gun badass who shoots people down without a second thought. It’s a dark and scary world, but actually its not that scary because our hero can just kill half a dozen people in one encounter, mostly with his bare hands. And Zap, there goes my sense of genuine involvement in the plot of the game.
I’m not very good at explaining myself, but I hope you get the jist of what I’m trying to get at. Yes I know that this is only an early trailer, and yes being the mug I am I will still in all likelihood go out and buy this game. Hell, it’ll probably be really good. Just not as good as I thought that it might have been.

My otherwise cautious and overbearingly respectful housemate has one drawback - he is CONSTANTLY peeing all over bathroom floor & I don't know how to bring it up. | Long story short: I'm a lady, he's a dude, we're good friends from college that moved to the same town and decided to be housemates. He goes out of his way, sometimes annoyingly so, to be as respectful as possible (Is this ok? Is this ok?) about most things, he also has OCD.
Every time he goes to the bathroom, especially if at night, there are puddles of pee all over the bathroom floor. Apparently a lot of guys do this, as friends have told me, but I don't really get why? Is it that hard to aim, or are people just lazy about splashing? It hasn't been drops, but sometimes puddles!
It's been bothering me enough that I am considering not living with him anymore. I really need to figure out a way to bring it up or not bring it up but get him to STOP. Any ideas?? I really need your help. It's so dumb to move over this issue, also he is a good friend, and if I moved out I'd have to give him a reason? It is seriously driving me nuts, though. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
