Do you have a good relationship with your older siblings? | I have a sister that is eight years older than me, and she has never wanted anything to do with me. It's really a long emotional story that reddit won't like so I'm not forcing it on you. But if you have a sibling that is a a lot older than you, do you have a good relationship with them?
Edit: I'm really loving all the small stories I got, I'm sorry if I didn't reply but I promise I did read all of them! So generally people don't get along with their older siblings, but younger sisters are apparently awesome. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
10/21/12 Trying to find segment I heard advertised about love | Were you listening to the radio this morning? Can you tell me what show that was? I think its On Being, but I liked to verify. My radio woke me up and I turned it off and fell back asleep.
It was about 7 AM and they were talking about an upcoming segment? where they were going to talk about something along the lines of "do you love or are you in love with your SO?". | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Using vermiculite (a types of asbestos) in gardens? | I recently volunteered to help start an organic garden at an elementary school. The teacher in charge used vermiculite as an addition to the top soil and compost in the garden beds. I am currently in a lecture class on environmental health, and we spent a lot of time discussing Libby, Montana and the vermiculite mines that caused asbestosis and mesothelioma in a huge percentage of the residents of the town. So, I immediately recognized the word and became worried. I chose not to say anything however in case I was wrong and I didn't want to worry the teacher or the students.
For anyone who knows the science behind it, is this safe to use in a garden? Is it safe to work with? When it was poured into the beds, the vermiculite was very dusty and definitely resembled what I have been told the asbestos from Libby looks like. I tried my best not to breathe it in directly, but it was so dusty that it was basically unavoidable.
Here's the link to the EPA website that claims that it is indeed dangerous: but it only touches on insulation. Nothing on use as a garden additive. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Airline delay (German Wings) and compensation - They are citing EU Court litigation | So here's the story - my flight was delayed for 9 hours (London - Stuttgart). The carrier was German Wings. I emailed them about getting compensation.
Their reply
>In this present context we cannot offer you the compensation claimed and refer to litigation C-413/11 of the European Court. Even courts in Germany have suspended respective proceedings. Since there are reasonable doubts that compensation needs to be paid in case of a flight delay a payment has to be declined.
The litigation that they have cited appears to be a question referred to the European Court (see: , rather than an actual ruling... anyone familiar with this case? Or how I should proceed? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Using pipes / tubes to automate. | I have a Energy Collector setup here,
I was hoping there was a way to link up some things to get it automated, perhaps making it so that when something finishes in the Condenser, it goes into the chest. Another thing that would be good is if when the Collectors finish with an item, they go into the chest.
Mainly, I was wondering what kind of pipe I should use, and if the placement of the pipe matters. There's just so many different pipes, and I don't really know which ones I should be using for something like this.
Thanks in advance. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Is 4/8 FLHE with a 10% rake beatable? | I've seen and heard numerous people say that 3/6 isn't beatable because of how small the stakes are compared to the rake, but what about 4/8? The only casino near me has a 4/8 FL game 4 nights a week and I'm wondering if it's worth it to start going. They have a 2-10 spread the other 3 nights that I've been beating consistently for the past year or so, and I know the players who play 4/8 are even worse, so I'm confident I can win there if it weren't for the rake
The rake is 10% with a max of 4 dollars. Is this beatable for this type of game? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Eating too many nuts? Portion control suggestion. | Do you LOVE Blue Diamond almonds, but end up eating more than you intended? I tried bagging them by single serving size, but always ended up eating two servings by the end of the day. Instead of buying my regular bag of Blue Diamond almonds this week I am going to invest in a nutcracker and start buying the bags of mixed nuts from the grocery store that are still in the shell (almonds, walnuts, brazil nuts, pecans, hazelnuts). My family would put these out in a bowl for our house guests during the Thanksgiving/Christmas season. It's more work per nut, but somehow I find it more satisfying to eat (you know, because I spent the time and energy cracking open the shell rather than just eating them out of the bag). Keto on, friends!=) | reddit_title_body | 25 |
REQUEST: Anyone have instructions on how to make a custom laptop out of PC parts? | I saw a link several years ago that showed how this guy built his laptop step by step using desktop PC parts. It was able to fit in a large custom laptop frame with a custom made laptop screen made from a LCD replacement part. He used some kind of special motherboard or special adapter that let him connect the GPU and other stuff so that they were parallel to the motherboard rather than perpendicular.
Anyone have a link to a build like that? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Backing up photos while traveling abroad | I am traveling to Thailand & Singapore in a few weeks and am concerned about backing up photos while on the road - this is possibly a once in a lifetime trip and I would like to have duplicates at the end of each day in case my camera is stolen / SD card is damaged / etc. I don't want to bring my MacBook Air with me and have to worry about it getting stolen / lost / damaged as I'll already be concerned enough about my camera gear. I will have an iPad and I've considered backing up onto it but I'm worried about a loss of quality if I have to transfer from iPad to computer when I'm back. Any ideas? Should I just suck it up and bring along my laptop? Or is there a better way of doing this? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Girl flirting with my friend and I, at the same time, while were together. What is she doing, and why is she doing it? | Im confused here. Ill explain as best as I can. By "together" I mean while all 3 of us are chillin'. Nobody is dating anybody
My best friend and I have a mutual friend that we hang out with weekly. He's known her for 7 years and I've known her for 13 years. Were all 20, just for reference.
So, for a couple years, shes been flirting with me, but I never acted on it (not sure why, never liked her. She never gave up, she was and still is extremely patient. Now I like her back suddenly. Why? Probably because I never really realized what it was like to have a girl throw herself at me, slapped myself and told myself to stop being a bitch and go for it, this doesn't happen all the time.) For the last month or so, shes been getting flirty with my best buddy (they kissed a few times, she always hugs him from behind, puts her hand in his pocket, rests her head on him, bites his neck, etc.) but shes still flirty with me.
She stares at me, gives me "those" eyes. "Kisses" me through the air (I do it back just to get a laugh and stuff. Im pretty funny, not to brag or anything ) asks me "would you get mad if I kissed you?" Kisses me on the cheek and starts giggling like a little girl, tries to hold my hand, always wants to take pictures, puts our pics up on Facebook/Instagram mentioning that im handsome/cute (I don't think I am at all to be honest, I'm ok, but it doesnt seem like I should be receiving this much attention. I wouldnt hit on me if I was a girl, but thats another story)
Another important part - I tell my friend to stop being a bitch and get at her! She obviously wants him. But he tells me that he DOESNT want her at all. He just likes the flirting and hugging. He stopped kissing her, she still goes for it, but he denies. (This probably makes her want it more) He proceeds to tell me to go after her, because he sees that she flirts with me as well. I say no as well, because I dont want him to know I actually like her. Not sure why I dont want him to know honestly. By the way, regarding them two making out, she thinks I have no clue they do it, when in reality I know everything because my friend tells me. Just adding this incase it changes anything.
Why the hell does she flirt with me and hug/kiss him at the same fucking time? She does this while were all hanging out, right in front of both of us. My friend and I don't care, we both know it happens but theres no "beef" or hostility toward each other. It got me thinking, maybe shes just flirting with me to get a reaction out of my friend, as a way of testing him. Which just made me mad because that would mean the flirting isnt real and shes just using me as a toy to get a reaction out of my buddy. (She doesnt flirt when we're alone. For example, on the drive to our friends house, she acts totally normal. Then when we're all together, flirting starts. This is what makes me think shes just using me)
So, whats the deal? Why is she doing this? Appreciate your help, and thanks for reading my wall of text! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

How was your mother's day? | What did you get for mother's day? Did any expecting mothers get gifts? Did you do anything fun!?
I got to hang out at the campground with all of the bros/sis' and parents, my aunt and her kids came. We bbq'd, fished, bike rode, & relaxed. It was very nice. I also got 2 mother's day gifts! I was not expecting it at all =] My husband got me the stick figure family for my car; a mom, a dad and the third had two babies (hopefully I will not have to use the 2nd for a long time!).

[Java] There's got to be an easier way to decode this JSON with Jackson, any help? | Hi learnprogramming!
I'm trying my hand at poking at the Openstack API. I know there are Java bindings out there, but I'm using writing my own as an excuse to learn dealing with JSON and a few other bits and bobs better.
I'm currently using the Jackson JSON Processor to map the json to a Java object.
Here is an example of the returned JSON
And here's the object I'm decoding to
And I'm using the following to do the actual decoding:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
AccessContainer a = mapper.readValue(sb.toString(),AccessContainer.class);
My question, is there a tidier (easier?) way to do this? The AccessContainer object and is children are a mess, but after much poking and prodding, that's the working solution I came up with.
Any help/suggestions/comments are welcome!

Day Z doesn't at all work well on my laptop (very very slow), should I wait for the Beta and see if things improves or should I just try to sell it? | It's mainly what the title says, my laptop is able to run the game but it's very very slow/laggy. I've put all the graphics down to minimum and tried a lot of things but the inability to aim and the fact that everything happens in stop-motion really kills the game feel for me.

joint team gold idea (team gold piggy) | so, I'm a new player, not even lvl 30 :D but hey, I love this game and here's a simple idea I've had: team gold!
what if players could donate any amount they want to this pool, and any one of them can use joint gold to buy items?
I think this would push team play further, and bring new interesting tactics to the game. it could be misused (someone trolling and spending all gold), but there should be some way of keeping it balanced (maybe allowing champs to take max. amount of gold).
could be used to help ADs if they didn't farm well, everyone could donate for wards or something like that.
so, what do you guys think?
should there be something like this ever in LOL or every champ must make gold on their own? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Looking for atheist solidarity regarding not going to church for mother's memorial service | My mother died recently.
I went to the week and month and 6 month memorial services.
Each one was infuriating. But I went out of respect to my dad and brother.
I stood and sat, but I did not gesture the sign of the cross, nor say amen, nor take communion wine, (despite the priest making a big deal about how we take the wine and the bread together, and not just the bread.) I did eat bread when it was handed to me by my brother and father. (I also did not say the lord's prayer.) I also did not raise my hand when he asked those who believe to raise their hands, nor did I raise my hand the second time when he asked louder and angrier, insisting everyone's hands should be up. I did not see his response or anyone else's, since my eyes were closed. And I was in the front pew, since it was a memorial service for my mother.
My father and I got into a fight today, over a large range of topics. My atheism was brought up by him several times though I didn't bring it up. And he brought it up out of context, for example, in political conversation, or in what type of girl I should marry. He also got very mad and emotional when he thinks about my body language at church, which he has complained to me about after each of the three aforementioned services as well as subsequent arguments in between.
In all other respects I've been a model son, visiting on some weekends, and on christmas and new year's eve/new year's, and helping mediate fights between him and my brother, which are not religion related.
So today in the fight I said that I would never enter another church in my life. And he said that my mother's one year memorial service was coming up. And I snapped quickly and said, "I'm not going!"
After looking for support in my atheist housemate, I got responses like, "But it's your dad," or, "But it's your mom," or that I need to get "thicker skin." She said if my mom were here she would kick my ass to go to church. This is a tactic that I find very distasteful, especially when my dad can use it to say to me, "what would your mother think about you about such and such."
I have been more open about my atheism since her passing, since I know she was genuinely concerned with me about it. I backpeddled on it and remained closeted, though by my speech she suspected I still was, but she couldn't be certain.
By more open, I mean in front of my brother and father, but not some extended family, where it is not brought up. But in all other aspects of my life, I am openly atheist.
I'm looking for some atheist solidarity. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Loving Yourself - xpost from twoxchromosomes | Just found this subreddit and and I'm such a fan! I posted this in twoxchromosomes and thought perhaps it belonged here as well.
Where to start? I suppose this post is more of a rant than anything.
It's been a long road. From constantly worrying about the way I look and act and how others perceive me, to being comfortable in my own skin.
Not long ago I was a frequenter of the kind of articles found on yahoo answers on 'how to love myself'. For the record, I didn't find it a great place to start. Almost every article was about how to love yourself so you could love others. In my experience - not that this will work for everyone - I fell head over heels in love with someone and they inspired me to try to love myself. Just thinking about how it felt to hold him in my arms, kiss him, hold him, even see his face... who wouldn't want to feel even a fraction of that when you look at yourself in the mirror or when you're enjoying your own body?
There are 315870 articles on yahoo answers when you search for 'how do I love myself?'. The thing that concerns me is that once you get there, it can feel wrong. There are several posts on answers on topics related to 'I love myself - should I be concerned?'. CONCERNED?! How on earth did we get here? How did loving yourself somehow become wrong when so many people are desperate to love themselves more?
I confess that I only recently realized that I'm somewhat in love with myself. That doesn't mean that I think that I'm perfect, or that I have no faults: it's much more complex. In loving myself, I've begun to accept that I'm certainly not always right, and that there are things about myself that I would like to alter, but that I'm still beautiful in my own right. It doesn't matter if I have a little more fat than I'd like, or if I tire out before I'd like to while running; The fact that I'm striving for my own improvement may even make me a better person. In realizing my own limitations, I'm giving myself a gift: I know where I can improve - and often - how I can do it.
I wouldn't disagree that many people are loud and obnoxious about their self-love, although I would call this 'cockiness' over anything else, and in my experience it's often a mask. The quiet self-love I've grown into is the kind of thing I can enjoy on my own. I can meet my own eyes in the mirror after a shower, let my eyes linger on my body and know that - while I don't look like the women in magazines, I'm a perfect version of ME today.
I hope you all know that I'm not trying to 'be cocky', I'm just concerned and frustrated that so many people think that being in love with yourself is wrong, especially when everyone seems to have that goal. It's possible to love yourself and not become a modern Narcissus.
Perhaps more of a ramble than a rant, but I'd be interested in discussion if others are. If not - I desperately hope that all of you can love yourself a little more today - you deserve it! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Use of optocouplers in SMPS feedback systems? | I am reading up on optocouplers because I need to do an isolated SMPS topology. Ray Ridley, the SMPS god, has a good article on the ever-popular TL431 shunt regulator, or K as it is called in that article.
If you look up e.g. the CNY17, you'll see that CTR is "between 40% and 80%". How can you design anything with such a huge margin? My guess would be that since the compensation is on the secondary side, the output to the optocoupler is just adjusted until the output voltage matches the reference voltage.
But what do you then do if you desire to have your reference voltage on the primary side. This would be the case if you e.g. have MCU controlled power supply. You would need to some how be able to transfer the output voltage back across the isolation, without picking up that huge margin that the CTR puts on the signal. How do you do that?
I have seen some "double optocouplers" here is very expensive, compared to standard CNY17 or similar. So i guess there must be some other method. What do you guys think about this? Am i missing something here? I'd be happy to hear from you. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

How can I confirm who I've blocked from seeing my relationship status on facebook? | I'm trying to block my family (specially mother) from seeing my relationship status on facebook. But the problem is, there's no way to double check and scroll through a list of specific people I've chosen to block. One way I thought to go about it was just block my "Family" list. However, since several of them haven't accepted my request, they're not "officially" related to me. So if i've designated them to my family list, shouldn't that mean they still register on the block list?

[TOMT][Short Story] Possibly Franz Kafka, very poignant scene with a prisoner. | So I don't remember much other than one passage in what I'm pretty sure was a short story I read a few years back. In the passage, the protagonist is speaking from a first person perspective remarking on a political prisoner that is currently on display in front of everyone in the town.
It's clear that there is social and political turmoil and the overall tone is very bleak. The specific aspect I remember most vividly is the protagonist noting that as he passed the prisoner, the prisoner gave him a very specific (and puzzling) look. After reflecting on it, he realized that the prisoner gave him a look of pity, which was certainly tied to the political and social environment in which the protagonist lived. I remember the scene because it's such a striking image, but for the life of me I can't remember what it's from.

Things (challenges?) to do around York in my 1hr lunch break. | I live just outside of the city, and so I haven't really explored York - only really came into the city when I had to visit some place. A week or so ago I started a job in the city, so I'm looking for little things I can do in my one hour lunch break to explore the city, improve myself socially, or just to fill the time. So, please list anything you reckon could be done within an hour or less around York.
I'm hoping this post will become beneficial not only to myself, but perhaps to other residents of York/the surrounding area and even visitors of York.
To start off, here's my (pretty bare) list so far:
* Feed squirrels in the museum gardens.
* Walk around the city walls. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Samsung Tab 2 7.0 users of Reddit, a question on game controllers and OTG | I'm very seriously considering getting a Tab 2 7.0 for Christmas, particularly do it currently being available for roughly £110. I've also recently discovered the joy that can be had with my Galaxy S3 and an OTG USB adapter, particularly the use of a PS3 controller to play games. I've heard this plug and play option is available on the stock Tab 2 also, can anyone confirm this?
TL;DR Can I plug a PS3 controller into the stock Tab 2 and play games

Secular preschools in the downtown or South-side area? | My wife and I are looking for an affordable preschool to send our 4-year old daughter.

[TOMT] [Music] Country Song By Popular Male Lead | This is a country song still played on the radio time to time about a guy who has what sounds like a wonderfully beautiful woman that is very loyal to him despite all the attention she gets from other guys. I think one of the lyrics goes "she turns heads as she walks by." I'm guessing the song is from either the mid 90's to early 2000's. Any ideas? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What is the best way to ship to Canada from the U.S.? | I'm going to be shipping a stuffed animal less than 1 ft. tall + a card / maybe something else from the U.S. to Canada.

[PSA] "Mail item to..." option refers to targeted character and will overwrite existing recipient field of an existing message being composed. | I quoted all the relevant information I sent in the bug report below.
>Steps to reproduce:
>
>1) Target a character (Char1)
>
>2) Open a mail message to another character (Char2) either by typing in the name, friend list, party member list.
>
>3) Notice that the recipient field is currently set to Char2.
>
>4) While Char1 is still targetted, attach an item from inventory to mail through "Mail Item to..." option in item context menu (right click menu).
>
>5) Notice that recipient has been changed from the intended recipient (Char2) to the character targetted in #1 (Char1).
>
>Additional Notes:
>
>1) It appears that the overwriting occurs when an item is attached to the mail using the "Mail item to..." option while a character is selected, other fields are unaffected and working as intended.
>
>2) I discovered this bug when I accidentally sent a large stack of chef materials (~75 items in 5 stacks) to a bystander instead of my friend.
>
>3) Personally would suggest renaming the "Mail item to..." option to "Attach item to message" and remove the overwriting feature.
I realize I was being derpy for not realizing the true purpose of the option (I saw it as an attach function). I just wish I got those materials back. >.> | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[High School Trigonometry] Need LOTS of help with trigonometric identities | Hello r/learnmath, I need help with trigonometric identities. My unit test is tomorrow, and we've done fundamental identities, pythagoren identities, sum and difference identities, double-angle identities, and half-angle identities.

My older brother and his wife are having trouble trying to conceive a child. I feel pretty guilty about this. Any advice? (There is a story here.) | I am 28 my brother is 32. My brother once told me it "cheeses him off" that I did stuff before him. I graduated highschool when he graduated college. 2 years later I was married. He married a year after me. A year after he got married I bought a house. A year after I bought a house he bought a house. 6 years later I have a kid. They have been trying to have a kid but have been seeing specialists about it. My wife is 12 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child now. I have a standing bro date with my brother on Monday nights where we Skype and chat or just play video games. They end up finding out that his wife has some crazy menstrual cycles which makes it nearly impossible for her to get or stay pregnant. They have been doing all kinds of traditional chinese medicine and diet changes but still haven't had any luck. Last monday she was 3 days late but negative pregnancy test. I asked him last night how things were going and he seemed to get upset that I asked and said "No she is not pregnant and you might as well stop asking because I don't want to talk about it". I changed the subject. I feel incredibly guilty that my wife and I were able to get pregnant very easily. I also feel bad because I feel like I am leaving him behind and moving on to a new stage of life. We had always done big life things within a year of each other. Now it has been over a year and he is stuck where he is. I am trying to be supportive but last night I just seemed to make him angry. Any thoughts? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Issue with new repeater installation | Hello Reddit, I was hoping to find some answers here. Essentially I just installed fiber optic for my families firm and that works no problem. The issue however is the connectivity. The modem which acts as a router has a very weak signal and only one floor at a time can access this connection.. Hence I ordered two sets of repeaters for the remaining floors, the Dlink Dir-505 and the store assured the installation was straightforward as I am far from competent at networking solutions. Now after following the installation setup for both they simply wont repeat the signal even though the setup was completed. It allows you to connect to the repeater however it doesn't have a connection to the internet. Any suggestions or help? I was planning to contact our IT-support but was hoping I made a stupid error. Thank you in advance! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Getting a strange harmonic sound from the 17th fret on the A string | I've just noticed this weird sound while I was tuning, I'm in drop C right now and not plugged into an amp. It sounds almost ghostly and I've never experienced anything like this. I'm reading that it may be due to old strings, has anyone had this happen before? I'm not new to playing guitar, I've been playing for at least 4/5 years and to me its just strange. I'm using a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 with a floyd rose if that has anything to do with it. I'm also hearing the same harmonic tone on the 12th fret of the D string but not as loud. The sound is coming from the bridge | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Thinking of starting a skate club in my community. What should be some general tenets to follow for rules and regs? | What I have so far:
Rules and Regs:
1. Safety first. Wear proper safety equipment such as helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, and gloves. Remember, safety equipment doesn’t make you look stupid, it makes you look professional. Skate in a group at all times if possible. If you must skate alone, tell someone where you’re going and write contact information on your helmet (masking tape on the helmet with emergency contact information) so that if someone finds you and you are incapacitated for whatever reason, they know what to do to help you.
2. Respect. Respect for pedestrians and other members of your community who are not skating. Skaters get a bad enough rap as it is, we don’t need you making it worse; we need you making it better. We’ll also be doing charity events to bolster a good reputation among the community.
3. Respect. Respect for your limits and the sport. You’re placing your life on that board and if you let it own you, then it’s going to lend your skin, bones, and grey matter to roads, cars, light poles, etc. If you’re not comfortable doing a trick, bombing a hill, or simply going faster than usual DON’T DO IT!!!
4. Respect. Respect for fellow skaters. Everyone has different skill sets, skill levels, and experience. Just because skater A can do a kickflip off a staircase, doesn’t mean that skater B has to take crap from you because he/she can’t. WE ARE ALL LEARNING! We will nurture a learning environment so that in time, skater B will be just as good as skater A without demeaning them or daring them into doing things they’re not comfortable doing. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Any tips for a first time wedding photographer? | I'm going to be the secondary photographer at my friends wedding in two weeks.

[02/02/12] First Thursdays: Shoreditch Art Event | On the first Thursday of every month art galleries in Shoreditch stay open late, put up new artwork, and generally give out free booze if you pretend to look at their art for a bit. It's very busy, hipsterly, and fun, and some of the art is really great (the rest will make you feel that you, too, could be an artist).
If you look at the map, many of the galleries are clustered near Shoreditch High St Overground, so I suggest we meet there. Sadly I can only get there at 8pm, which should give us 1-2 hours of art (it doesn't really end at 9) and we can then move on to some lovely Shoreditch bar or pub.
I'm 07587 one seven nine seven 33. Someone else can be the contact if people want to meet earlier.
Edit: Mancalime is going to be at Mason & Taylor (E1 6LA) from 5:30, her phone is 07857 11oh 1oh2. Everybody go early, there's lots to see!

So whats the reddit community take on the "college scam" | I've been hearing alot about student debt and how some students get in ridiculous amount of debt like $200,000 and then cant pay it off. Then those same people complain about how college is a scam, that there are no jobs out there for them. I however can not help to think that those people are suckers. First off, you shouldn't even be taking out that much money unless you're going to be a doctor or a scientist. The whole purpose of going to college is so you can get a good paying job doing something that you have some interest in (and if your interests are not practical in the real world pick something else).
My point is that college is totally worth it; only if you're going to major in something practical like engineering, accounting, finance (even though financiers are scumbags), law etc. And the ones that choose to major in 19th century Russian literature have no business complaining about their inability to pay off their student loans, and the fact that there are no jobs for them.
So reddit, whats your take on those students who got a PHD in liberal arts and then complain about student debt, not being able to find work.
I think its a load of shit. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Lobster Prices in Austin?! | Saw this article on Yahoo News;
Zain Nemazie, of Austin, Texas, was expecting low lobster prices — but not this low — while on vacation in Maine with his family.
"This is as good as it gets," Nemazie said late last week after paying $4.59 a pound for large 1 1/2-pound lobsters at a seafood shop on Portland's waterfront. "We're from Texas, where we'd be paying at least $12 a pound."
Where is lobster $12/lb in Austin? Best prices I have seen are like $20/lb twice a year on-sale at Central Market. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Reddit, Help Me Convince My Internet Law Class That Downloading Should Be Protected, Not Regulated | My Internet Law class believes that people who download music for free are the main cause for the downfall of our music/movie industry. Despite trying to convince them numerous times that downloaders are actually more likely to buy music, they still don't buy it. They insist that any studies supporting my claim are clearly biased and don't show the real story. I should also mention that at least half of the class are political science majors, and (not surprisingly) they didn't even know what SOPA/PIPA was. Can you help me find articles that 1) show support for a less regulated internet that allows downloaders to thrive, and 2) shows that the MPAA's claims about downloading are largely unsupported/not repeatable? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Naturally, I need to go out and get a new hard disk! I realised this morning that perhaps there are brands/types of hard disks more suited to music production, especially in the context of streaming audio from disk all the time.
The one that just died was a Western Digital Black Caviar drive, which has been great until last night.
Do you use a specific brand/type of hard disk, or just what came with your system?
Thanks!

Rolling, dashing, sidling, etc. Which are your favourite of Link's abilities? What new ability would you like to see? | I want to discuss the different skills that Link possesses. This can include interactions with other objects, but let's try to focus on Link himself and less on skills that are the only the result of an item (like hookshotting, deku leaf gliding, etc) Even the smallest thing is fair game.
I think the most versatile Link in the series is Wind Waker Link. He can roll, crouch, crawl around on his belly, he can sidle against walls, and he even skids to a stop when you reverse directions while running. He can counter-attack, as well as pick up enemy weapons. Special mention to the fact that he was the first Link to "look" at certain things of interest near him, and change his facial expression depending on what he is looking at.
My runner up is Twilight Princess Link for being the best swordsman. I was praying for a Link who could hack and slash while running, and I whooped when I finally got him. Even better than that, I loved the sword skills in Minish Cap, and I was ecstatic when they debuted in the 3D games. I think Nintendo should make it a priority to give each game it's own unique set of sword skills that can be recurring or new. Link is a natural swordsman, it makes no sense for him to triumph purely on courage alone, acquiring new sword skills enriches the story because it enriches Link as a character. Special mention to TP Link's skills with animals. There's more than just chickens in the Zeldaverse. It was so cool to call hawks, pick up cats, play fetch with dogs, as well as being able to mount Epona from behind (stop right there..... just...don't) for a quick start.
In terms of future skills that could be introduced into the series, I don't have any particular ideas. But I think the action button has infinite applications and I am excited to see more specific interactions come from it.
So, r/Zelda, what is your favourite of Link's skills? Is there a new skill you think Link should have? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Hopefully I'm not the only one thats a little excited. I seriously doubt they will cast any disney cast members , i bet it will have a Pirates of the Caribean feel. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
WWE potentially planning international PPV...could the Wrestlemania XXX rumours be true? | According to this link and "a London stadium" about holding an event there.
Now there has been UK PPV's in the past but they've taken place in much smaller capacity arenas.
If I'm honest, even if it wasn't Wrestlemania, I think any kind of main PPV from the WWE (Summerslam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble etc.) would be amazing. Given the size of the stadiums, if it's true, I can only presume it's going to be for a big event rather than a "Rebellion" style PPV for example.
The UK crowds for Raw/Smackdown this week were amazing and the crowds for TNA in January will be just as good.... I hope this is true! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What's something that you feel everyone should do at least once in their life? | For example, I feel everyone should have to work at least one public service job in their life. I currently work 2, a host at Outback Steakhouse, and a cashier at Wal*Mart.

So what is something that you think everyone should have to do at least once that could possibly better a person/humanity? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Gas mapping site Mappler.net down - can you read this and help out to bring up? | I emailed through the "contact us" link for this site and it turns out the programmer is out of gas/electricity and can't help out to resolve from the person that responded that owns the site.
I work in IT, but I'm not familiar that much with resolving web design/apache issues.
Head to mappler.net to see the error message (Basically 403 FORBIDDEN You don't have permission to access /default.html on this server).
I felt this was a service providing a public good today and wanted to see if I could do anything to get it back online. Several major news sources mentioned it today and it was working at one point, maybe it crushed under the load? Any thoughts appreciated.
**EDIT:** I found this link which seems to describe the issue. Is this easy to fix?
**EDIT2** Site owner is on the phone with Tech Support at GoDaddy now, as the site is hosted at GoDaddy. I'll update this post when I know more.
**SITE IS BACK UP** USE | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Minecraft Physics Paper... HELP | So, I know that it's lame that I'm asking for help, but I have to do a physics paper, and I have to explain how minecraft relates to the real world.. I'm not asking you to do the paper for me, but I wanted to get idea on how I would explain these things...
And for this paper, we are assuming that bedrock is the center of the world, and that the radius is 64ish meters.
I have to explain Velocity and Acceleration
Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
Newton's 3rd Law
Mass and Weight
Perpindicular components
Circular motion
universal gravity
Energy concervation
the paper is OBVIOUSLY going to be flawed, because you can't compare these things... so whatever you can't find proof for... just make up! (atleast try to compare it to earth) | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I'm deployed to Afghanistan, and I have run out of music to listen to. Please help me find new stuff! | Just a little background: I'm about halfway through my deployment to Afghanistan, and I feel like I have listened to all of my music too much. Whenever I put my iPod on shuffle, I end up spending most of my time skipping through songs, as I just feel like I've heard it all before too much. I've taken the time to remove all of the songs I know I don't really like or just don't want to hear anymore from my playlists, so I don't think that's the issue.
I am asking for help in finding new music to tickle my senses and help pass the time here.
However, there's a couple of caveats:
* The internet is painfully slow (when it works) and usually only downloads at about 6-7k/s.
* Youtube videos and the like generally take about 20 minutes a piece to load, even on the lowest quality
* I cannot pirate music. All of the pirating sites are blocked, and if I use those that aren't, my internet is shut down and I risk being banned from using it. My family and girlfriend would be very upset with me if this happened. I've been forced to buy most of my music through iTunes because of this.
Now, what kind of music do I like? I particularly enjoy generic Rock, Alternative, Progressive, Classic Rock, Classic Alternative, Metal, Electronic, etc. I am not a huge fan of hip hop, however, I do like well produced and thought out hip hop, such as Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon, some Kanye West, etc. I am also definitely not a fan of “pop” music. If it’s in the top 20, it’s usually good for a listen or two, but then I move on from it.
To help you understand my musical likes, here’s a list of my top 25 most played songs:
Radiohead – Reckoner
La Roux – In For the Kil
M83 – Midnight City
Ratatat – Lex
The Haunted – The Cynic
Hurt – Falls Apart
Interpol – Memory Serves
10 Years – Paralyzing Kings
In Flames – Zombie, INC
La Roux – Bulletproof
Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
Kid Cudi – Simple As…
Tool – Intolerance
Dredg – Bug Eyes
Silversun Pickups – The Royal We
Cold War Kids – We Used to Vacation
A Perfect Circle – Orestes
Staind – Home
Elton John – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young – Almost Cut My Hair
Quicksilver Messenger Service – Fresh Air
Pink Floyd – Time
I pretty much have the whole catalogue for these artists, to name a few: Interpol, Chevelle, Tool, In Flames, Pink Floyd, Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Ratatat, Paramore, 10 Years, Black Sabbath, Mars Volta, Lamb of God, Deftones.
I look forward to your suggestions and can’t wait to discover some new stuff to help make it through the rest of the year. Thanks!

woman left her dog in her car.. it's freezing. | A woman parked her car in front of our house four hours ago, and left her dog in it. She went to the apartment building down the street, and hasn't returned thusfar. It's 20 degrees F. We called the cops, and a nice gentleman responded. He talked to us, and we looked at the poor dog in the car. He said unfortunately there's nothing we can do.
I'm really hoping the owner comes back soon. If this dog dies, it's gonna eat at me. Who could do this to their pet? (or a child)
EDIT: The owner came back a few minutes ago. She had been tracked down by the police and building management. She lied and told the police she had only been gone 45 minutes (it had been close to 4 and a half hours). The nice cop told us that if she still hadn't returned by 9, his sergeant was ready to send out animal people to open the door and take the dog. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Question about the transform mechanic. | I'm trying to figure out how other transform cards work if they're told to transform, but are not allowed to actually *exist* as their transformed side.
For example, I was thinking about Infinite Reflection in conjunction with Loyal Cathar. In practice, your creatures would keep coming back as Loyal Cathars, which would be a lot of fun in a deck revolving around Infinite Reflection (and gives you more options than just Sun Titan). However, what happens when the creature being copied is a double-sided card? Does it return from the graveyard to the battlefield flipped, only to enter as Loyal Cathar? If not, Ludevic's Test Subject would be hilarious in the deck.
Thanks for your help! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Wondering how I should respond to a chronically late responder. Thoughts? | About 2 weeks ago, I went on a great date with a girl I'd met online. We both had a really good time and agreed to go out again. As we were making specific plans for the second date for a few days later (texts back and forth), she suddenly stopped responding.
About a week later, she responded with "sorry for the delayed response, been a crazy week..." and we started to re-make our second date plans. But, then, the exact same thing happened - no texts or responses for close to a week.
Today, (now 2 weeks later), I just got another text from her basically apologizing again for stopping responding, and trying to make plans for next week.
My questions are:
(1) Do I respond at all? I mean we did have a good time, and I'd like to see her again, but I'm a little put off by the flakiness.
(2) If I do respond, do I bring up that the delayed responses made me angry/upset? and that I felt that it was disrespectful/discourteous?
(3) Do I swallow my pride and just say sure, then resent her? Or do I figure, well, we had one date, but this isn't someone I'd like to be with...
Little confused how I should handle this. Looking for advice.
Edit: I'm 31m, she's 28f. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
