Looking for a group to go to Bando's during the beta to see this rework in action. | Basically I'd like to gather a group anywhere from 2-4 other people to join me at Bando's for a trip to see how this rework is with bossing. I figure it'll be a lot better to form a group now than to scramble later.
Since this is beta, drops and such won't be too important, it's more for testing and experience with the new mechanics in a higher risk area. I'd rather participate in a Nex kill, but I have no experience wit that boss Saddly :( I will be filming during this time, so if the participants have skpye or something I'd enjoy having some extra commentary to voice opinions or discoveries :)
Tireless God is my RS name so feel free to add me. When the date gets closer we can plan an actual time and such to meet. Just so you know, I am US central time.
Thanks. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Looking for nonfiction book recommendations pertaining to International Studies. | I'm an undergraduate student getting my BA in International Studies, and I'm getting to the point where I realize I don't know enough about the field. International Studies is a pretty broad category, and I'm looking for a wide variety of books in hopes that I can learn something new and maybe figure out what I want to focus on more.
So any type of world history books, international politics, biographies of people who have worked in government (especially in any type of security position), human rights, etc. would be helpful and very much appreciated. :) | reddit_title_body | 25 |

How does one learn effective User Interface/aesthetic design? | What are the fundamental concepts of good UI/aesthetic design, for websites in particular? Are there key concepts that are embodied by successful user-friendly/pleasing-to-the-eye websites?
Any advice or potential resources would be helpful. As I continue to learn about programming and web development, I realize more and more how the voice of the customer is the most important thing. I feel that if I can understand how to create a pleasing experience for the user, I will achieve success in my career.

Why is the Dota 2 streaming scene so empty? | Both Twitch.tv and Own3d.tv have fairly poor numbers for Dota 2 in comparisson to other esports.
Now I pose the question, WHY?
The international had very good numbers, with Twitch and Own3d keeping a high number of viewers combined most of the time and thousands watching in-game. But any other time after the international it's very poor. There are beacons of light shining though which do relatively well. Sing Sing, Purge, Tobi Wan/joinDota, Dendi (when he streams). But in comparison to other titles it's severely lacking and that obviously has several repercussions on the community and the progression of the games popularity to new players which becomes evident in the long term. It also hinders their ability to learn from seeing other people play.
Now I really don't know why more people don't stream dota 2 and why more people don't watch it. I'm interested to hear everyone's opinions. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Reddit, I can't even listen to music with my earphones without my ears getting blocked.

How much does the starter inkjet cartridge yield? | Hi i'm a Co-op student who just started his placement at Staples a month ago. I have a few questions regarding ink and printers.
1. I know it probably varies from printer brands, but does anyone have a rough estimate of how much page output you'll get from the starter ink? I always tell the customers that it's only meant for setup purposes and that it won't last very long, but they refuse to purchase ink and insist that the starter will be enough.
2. Do the ink cartridge value packs like this come with full cartridges?
Or is the ink yield reduced because of the photo paper that comes along with it.
3. Will the printer cleaning sheets keep ink from constantly running low? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

My wife isn't a redditor, but she just wrote a eulogy for her uterus. I wanted to share in case it helps even one woman out there. | Quick background: After our 2nd child my wife nearly died from DIC. She really struggled with having an emergency hysterectomy and losing part of what she felt made her a woman. And with that, enough from the male. Here's her words:
Not sure exactly what to write. It’s strange writing a eulogy for your uterus. What is a eulogy? What does it mean? What does it represent? I guess it’s the summary of the purpose that life was given and how that life gave meaning. So, my uterus was created to hold and nurture a baby. It protects my baby from harm and helps comfort and nourish it. Ok! Check! My uterus did that. It aided the healthy development of my beautiful children. SUCCESS! I fulfilled my biological destiny. I created life and delivered. Now, I’m not going to pretend my uterus always produced such beautiful results. I definitely had a love hate relationship with it.
I was so excited to get my period as a young girl. It means you are on your way to womanhood. The next chapter in development after producing small boobs and growing some hair. The summer between 7th and 8th grade it came. YES! I wasn’t the first or the last of my friends to get it so that made me happy. I couldn’t wait and now that I had it I hated it. OMG the bleeding the pads the mess the smell and all the emotions going along with it. It was a cruel joke. Why did I want it so bad when it makes me and the people around me so miserable? But deep down inside, biologically, my body was preparing for what it was created for, life. So I had no choice but to grin and bear it.
My period, however, did serve a great purpose. It got me out of physical activity, work, boring sex and most important it meant I wasn’t pregnant! WHOOO HOOO! So many times I would pray for my period to come to know I WASN’T pregnant even though that is the whole purpose of it. LOL!
OK there were good times and bad times but in the great scheme of things it has treated me well, very well. It produced two happy, healthy, BEAUTIFUL children. With death comes birth and the death of my uterus brought about a REBIRTH of my relationship with my husband. Because what good is two beautiful children if there isn’t a strong bond of a mother and father behind them. Well, that’s not entirely true but you get my point. My husband and I have become so close since the death of my uterus. Our relationship has reached a new level that I didn’t think could be possible. The love, trust, laughs, and respect between us is off the charts. So if something had to die for this relationship to be possible then so be it. I would have my uterus die 20 times over.
The emotions surrounding the death of my uterus I still don’t fully understand but I do understand that it’s important to say goodbye and not hold on. It’s going to be a journey dealing with the loss of the organ that defines me as a women but the reason I was created stands in front of me every day, my children. So thank you uterus for giving me such great gifts. You did an amazing job. You fought hard and in the end you died. You gave everything you had just so my husband and I would have perfect children. I thought I wouldn’t miss you because why do I need you now but we were suppose to grow and die together. Now that you have died I must live. I must move on without you and always remember how great you were and how much you have given me.
Here lies my uterus. May she rest in peace. May she know her death was not in vain. She successfully completed her biological destiny even though it was cut short. I won’t miss the pain but I will mourn the empty space and the CHOICES that came with having her around. Goodbye old friend. Sleep well. Job well done. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Can anyone tell me where to get a blade for this deli slicer? | I have this deli slicer and it works like a champ but the blade is now dull and sharpening it doesn't cut it any more.

Error Reporting Best Practices | My application uses the codeigniter framework, so error reporting by default is done using a log file (.txt) . Its very unorganized and I have to admit I don't check it often enough. I was thinking I would start to store these errors in the DB and build an error log page to view logs. Regardless of your framework, what methods do you use to report errors to keep yourself informed of problems with your php application? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Why aren't there Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic, or Permian rocks in Illinois? | I recently watched an episode of the Discovery Channel series Prehistoric which focused on the Chicago area. I live in Central Illinois, so it was interesting to see a program like this about somewhere that was so close to home.
I was disappointed to learn that no dinosaur fossils have ever been discovered in the state of Illinois. From what I gathered, we sort of skip from Mastodon and Mammoth fossils from around 15 thousand years ago, to fossils that are 400 million years old.
I looked into it a little more, and saw some maps that showed the distribution of rocks that are of various ages that are in IL. I was surprised to learn that there is quite a stretch of time for which there are either no rocks at all in Illinois for that period, or rocks from that period are only present in a small area at the southern tip of the state.
Here is an example of one of the maps:
Quaternary period – “loose deposits of quaternary material overly the bedrock throughout the state”
Cretaceous period – a small area on the west side of the state, and a small area in the southern part of the state (just the tip).
Jurassic – There are no rocks of this age in the state
Triassic – There are no rocks of this age in the state
Permian – There are no rocks of this age in the state
Carboniferous – found in a significant portion of the state.
So for most of the state all of the rocks from 2.5 million years ago through about 300 million years ago are missing? Where did all of those rocks go?
I guess prior to looking into this, I would have thought there wouldn’t be such a large gap over such a wide area… I would have thought that skipping over 300 million years of geologic history might happen here and there, but not over a whole state.
What is the explanation for the gap in Illinois geological record? I’d appreciate it if anyone would care to share.
I apologize if I’ve used the wrong terms or if my numbers are way off. I hope I got the general idea of my question across. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

40-50mg of 4-Aco-DMT + Bob Marley + Phaeleh = Best experience of my life. | Man. What a day.
I took two capsules of 4-aco-dmt today and I got stuck listening to this and ended up sending really heartfelt/sincere messages to people I havent seen in YEARS.
Very powerful impact. The curious thing about it is that, judging from the replies I got from some of these people (who were shocked to say the least to hear from me) - it was as if, my message was exactly what was needed to get them through whatever troubles they were going through.
I started crying several times throughout the trip because for the first time, I actually FELT the pain of various people I have met before.
Not sure if this is related or not, but I learned to kill/butcher/process chicken today and when I slit the throat of the chicken, I was shocked about the entire experience and while on 4-aco-dmt, I also felt the natural life-cycle of the universe and the chicken's part in it.
Still coming down, but thanks. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Points tally with best results subtracted- a good measure of consistency this season, shows season might not just be a lottery | As everyone is well aware, we have had a different winner at each race so far. Hence, our picture of who is really doing well in the championship is skewed as compared to previous seasons. I think that a good way to measure success so far this season is to consider where everyone stands in the points with their best result subtracted from their total, to see who is so far able to put up the most consistent points in this rather crazy championship. Here are the top points scorers after their best result has been subtracted:
Fernando Alonso- 51
Sebastian Vettel- 48
Lewis Hamilton- 48
Mark Webber- 48 (note that without Mark's win, Hamilton has a higher finish, which is why I put him ahead)
Nico Rosberg- 34
Kimi Raikonnen- 33
Jenson Button- 20
Romain Grosjean- 20
Paul Di Resta- 13
Kamui Kobayashi- 9
Bruno Senna- 8
Sergio Perez- 4
Pastor Maldonado- 4
Everyone else is on 3 or less.
What does this show? It shows that at the front of the field, consistency is still king, and if we continue to have a lot of different drivers winning, the person who puts in the most consistent performance is likely to win the championship. It also shows that the big winners so far this season are the mid-pack runners, whose points tallies are seriously boosted by results that may prove to be anomalous, but the numbers don't seem to indicate that any of the midfielders are serious contenders to jump up and snatch positions away from the established front-runners. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

AMA request: someone who transports and discards organic medical waste from hospitals and the like. | My friend got a cyst removed the other day, which got me wondering: what will they do with the cyst now that it’s gone from her body?
1. Is it incinerated? If so, where? Do hospitals have their own incinerators? Or do people make a living going around to different hospitals and picking up organic detritus like cysts, failed organs, cancer masses and stuff?
2. If it is NOT incinerated, what happens to it? Is it ever used for medical education, like in a medical school dissecting lab or something?
3. If people actually come to the hospital to pick this stuff up, where do they take it? Crematoria? Funeral homes? Some other location?
4. If there is indeed a service that goes around to different hospitals picking up organic medical waste, what kind of people work at those jobs? What is their lifestyle like? Are they similar to EMTs, who are often underpaid and jaded by the human condition? Do they smoke a lot of weed on the job and sometimes peek at the organic material in the back of their vans? Or is it a highly regulated industry and so they are more like the armed guards of armored trucks carrying money from banks? Are there shenanigans that happen on the job?
5. Is there much variance in the way that medical waste is dealt with from location to location, say between rural and urban areas?
Did a search prior to posting this request; found nothing relevant. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
The Concept of Closure: What do negative numbers, fractions, and logarithms have in common? | They all served to 'close' a weaker set under a basic operation by creating a stronger set.
A set has closure under an operation if performance of that operation on members of the set always produces a member of the same set.
Examples: Negative numbers (and zero) closed the natural numbers under subtraction (creating the 'integers'), fractions closed the integers under division (creating the 'rationals'), and logarithms closed the positive rationals under exponentiation (creating ~~the~~ *some of the* 'reals').
Can you think of a fourth example? (you might have to use your imagination) | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Wellbutrin causing blisters? Am I alone in getting this rare side effect? | So I started Wellbutrin about 3 weeks ago. 3 days ago a fairly large blister showed up on my arm. I hadn't burned it on anything or injured it in anyway. I thought maybe I had gotten bitten by a bug that I was allergic to. However yesterday I developed yet another blister rather suddenly in my mouth.
From what I have read online Wellburtin can cause blisters but it's pretty rare. (about 0.3% of paitents).
Has anyone else has this happen when on Wellbutrin? I seem to always get the strange side effects when on medications. I called my doctors office this morning to ask if I could go off of it cold turkey or if I needed to cut back on it first. It's not only the blisters, I'm a type 1 diabetic and my sugars have been consistently high since I started taking it, and I've developed headaches in the last week. I just find the blister thing strange and wonder if anyone else has had something like this happen. Even if it was on another medication. Blisters just seem like such a strange side effect to me, but I can't think of anything else it could be. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Using r_pie as a motorcycle datalogger | I know nothing about programming, so please excuse my ignorance.

[Wolvania] A matter of affairs | Here are some things that need sorting out in Wolvania.
**Buildings**:
The mall - (built by Caiden) is half destroyed. I personally feel we should finish the job, freeing up space (possible a communal farm could be more beneficial?). If need for such a mall rises I would personally vote to put it underground, unless we wish to construct a far more grand structure.
The wall - is unreinforced. Which kind of defeats the point of a wall. We could do with some stone reinforcements.
Snitches - Do we have any set up? If not I might donate my single diamond to start the town's snitch network.
The Long Patrol HQ - While I respect this order, their building is unsightly and appears to be griefed. Could it perhaps be reconstructed (I could provide charcoal for smoothstone (bricks))?
Paths - Need to be properly reinforced, and smoothered with torches to prevent snow build up.
**Administration & Law**:
Admin - As far as I can see there is no type of government.
Law - I personally feel Wolvania would benefit under /r/VEC_Law. As a small town we would benefit greatly from the help of other cities. VEC would also save us much time and effort in prosecuting criminals. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Quite new to this, looking for info on "noble subs" | Hey. I'm new to the scene, always been curious but only recently got involved. A while back I came across a post where someone talked about being a "noble sub", and I felt that what s/he wrote about it pretty much described my feelings about submission. I've been trying to find more info about it since but no luck. I wonder if there's anyone around here that could point me in the right direction to find out more about it? Thanks.
Edit: found the comment I read. does it ring a bell for anyone?
"Noble Submission: Degradation is usually NOT appreciated. An emphasis on praise and reinforcing when she obeys. When she does something wrong/disobeys, bring it up "I am disappointed in/displeased with you." "Tsk, tsk you know better than that." I would say light chastisement is okay in these cases.

Why is Socialism so demonized in the western world? | What I mean is ... I understand that almost all of the western world is Capitalist. But they never seem to give a legitimate reason why they hate socialism. They always say, "We hate socialism, because it's socialism!" That's not a legitimate reason! For example, I live in Canada. I know we are NOT a socialist nation, but we have some socialist aspects/programs in place currently. So, from MY stand point ... Socialism doesn't look all that bad. I mean come on! Socialists argue that socialism is about bringing human social organization up to the level of current technological capability to fully take advantage of modern technology. They argue that capitalism is either obsolete or approaching obsolescence as a viable system for producing and distributing wealth in an effective manner. Socialists generally argue that capitalism concentrates power and wealth within a small segment of society that controls the means of production and derives its wealth through a system of exploitation. This creates a stratified society based on unequal social relations that fails to provide equal opportunities for every individual to maximize their potential, and does not utilize available technology and resources to their maximum potential in the interests of the public, and focuses on satisfying market-induced wants as opposed to human needs. Socialists argue that socialism would allow for wealth to be distributed based on how much one contributes to society, as opposed to how much capital one holds.
Socialists believe that capitalism is an illegitimate economic system, since it serves the interests of the wealthy and allows the exploitation of lower classes. As such, they wish to replace it completely or at least make substantial modifications to it, in order to create a more just society that would guarantee a certain basic standard of living. A primary goal of socialism is social equality and a distribution of wealth based on ones contribution to society, and an economic arrangement that would serve the interests of society as a whole.
So, can someone explain, Why is socialism frowned upon, when it looks like it strives for social and financial equality. A society where there is NO class. Everyone is "one class", where everyone is equal. What are your opinions?
EDIT: If you support socialism, what kind? I know that there are different types. Such as Democratic Socialism, Marxism, etc ... | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Cheapest option for buying meat? | I try to feed my dog human-grade food rather than dog food, due to the fact that the chemicals and junk in it are even worse than human-grade processed food. I reason that feeding him well can prevent health problems in the future, saving me money in vet bills, but it's still hard to justify when a 50 lb bag of dry dog food is only about 20 dollars. I was wondering what the cheapest option is for buying meat. Where should I buy? Should I get canned meat in bulk or buy smaller amounts of ground meat and freeze? (I don't have a large freezer).

[4E] Why do you tend not to recommend Essentials to new players? | I haven't been posting as much as I have in the past, but while lurking, I've noticed that many of the "new player"/"getting started" threads get flooded with "Player's Handbook / Dungeon Master's Guide / Monster Manual" ... after recommending the Red Box as a starting point!
Now, I can understand the attraction to the old "Core" rulebooks. They're more in line with tradition, they're hardcover, etc. But the facts of the matter are that they've been errata'd to hell and the Essentials line-up does an arguably better job at presenting the game with up to date rules and better class builds.
Am I missing something here? At least, if you're going to recommend the "Core" books instead of Essentials, why not recommend the free Getting Started / Keep on the Shadowfell PDFs instead of buying the Red Box, which has very different class builds. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Starting a small business, not really clear on what I should form it as (LLC, Corp, Corp S, etc.), help? | Ok, so here's the basic business: I will provide design/engineering services on a contract basis similar to the way a graphic designer or lawyer would be contracted to do work on an hourly basis for someone.
The biggest reason I'm not sure what to form it as is that for the first few years I plan to basically just be a freelance designer/engineer, but I want to have the legal separation that LLC and corporation provides and I want to be able to grow it later on. I also want to be able to send invoices as a company rather than inconveniencing clients with 1099 forms and such (as I understand it, they would just pay for my services like a bill for lumber or something). What do you recommend I start my company as if I'm a single individual that will be the solitary owner and employee (I will also contract additional people from time to time from other consultancies if something is out of the realm of my expertise) and working from a home office? Should I start it as one thing and somehow roll it into a new company when I expand? Would I be ineligible to form a corporation since I would be the solitary share holder? If it matters at all, I'm in New York State (NYC, specifically).
PS: where do you recommend I look to find a good accountant? Is there something specific I should look for when selecting one (work with similar services, similar type of company i.e. LLC, etc.)? I plan to work these questions out with an accountant, but I'd like some advice so I can be prepared when the time comes to actually meet with them.
PPS: all of the different business types boil down to taxes owed and varying degrees of legal protection, right? What would happen if I failed to submit a form here or there? major audit/fines? basically nothing and I'm just told that I didn't fill out a form? For some reason I'm terrified of not filling out a required form or filling out the wrong one and getting slammed with harsh penalties or something.
PPPS: can I begin to purchase things now and claim them as business expenses later when the company is actually formed?

To Presuppositionalists: I can prove that your arguments are bunk. | As many of you are aware, presuppositional apologetics are currently enjoying their 15 megabytes of fame. This has brought we atheists considerable frustration, since these arguments are notoriously difficult to rebut. But don't despair, because I've finally cracked it--I've proved that presuppositional apologetics are bunk.
You see, dear presuppositionalists, I don't need to demonstrate that your arguments are fallacious, invalid, unsound, unconvincing, and/or silly, because *you already know that they are!* You're reasonable human beings, and like the rest of us you have an innate ability to recognize nonsense for what it is. You don't actually believe this stuff; the only reason we're still arguing is that your emotional committment to Christianity and your fear of being wrong have overpowered your common sense and prevented you from acknowledging something you already know to be true.
So, with presuppositional apologetics decisively refuted, where do we go from here? I, for one, am washing my hands of you and your ilk. I won't be held accountable for your folly, and no matter how unfortunate your quandry may be, there's nothing I can do to help you out of it. You'll have to figure it out for yourself and either deal with the epistemological elephant in the room or continue to choose comfortable self-deception.
*tl;dr* - Presuppositionalists cannot provide the necessary preconditions for an intelligible conversation.
*Edit* - Not to hide behind reddiquette or subreddit rules, but if you're downvoting this post, would you mind leaving a comment explaining why? Thanks! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Saarthal Amulet is not in my inventory | I am currently doing the Under Saarthal quest. When I go to the wall the amulet is on and take the amulet, it says in the corner, "Saarthal Amulet added".

Employees of Fred Meyer, I have a question | My son was recently caught shoplifting at one of your stores. He was not convicted yet he was banned. I am very disappointed in him. There are a few things I would like to know now. I am disabled and he does most of the shopping, and we love Fred Meyer. I know he cannot return to the fred meyer he shoplifted from, but I'm wondering what the risks are of him shopping at a different fred meyer in the area.
So please, if any employee of Fred Meyer could be honest with me, I would like to know if his picture has been circulated to other stores and what the chances are of him being recognized and charged for trespassing are. I just want to know what the store policy is. He stole some clothes, and the total was around fifty dollars, so that may be why he was not convicted, and he may not be a major concern from what the loss prevention people there told him about the more professional thieves.
He admitted that this was not his first time stealing but since then I have come down very hard on him, searching his room, backback, and car for anything that looks stolen and if I find any hint that he has started again then he is out on his ass.
This may not have any chance of being answered but its a real problem for my family and I would like some answers. Thank you. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Hey r/Honda. CR-V Advice. 2013 LX new or 2011 EX Used (20k miles) | Hey all. I'm currently looking at the SUV's across the car companies and am considering the Honda's at how dependable they are said to be. I've recently stumbled on the 2013 LX and 2011 EX. I'm Getting a suv because I want to not have to bug my friends if I want to haul something like small furniture and the like, but also feel comfortable.
Are there any big differences between the 2 aside from bells and whistles? The only thing I see news wise is that the CR-V line went through a redesign after 2012. Is the cr-v something I would probably like?
Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Thoughts on farting while on a run. | Last week I was about 3/4 done with my run when I had just gotten to an intersection that I needed to cross, when I see the pretty cute chick [7.5/10] walking towards me. Not thinking much of it, I started to stretch and I relaxed a little too much and I let out a big wet, and loud fart. Unfortunately, she was right behind me at this point... At first I was a little embarrassed, but then I realized I would probably never see her again, laughed it off and continued wit my run.
So /r/running, what's your opinion on farting while running? Personally I find it hilarious, and it helps me feel better when my stomach hurts. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

This /r/soccer thread is making me uncomfortable. What does SRSD think? | Link to thread.
The background behind the story is that Fabrice Muamba, who is a footballer who plays for the English club Bolton Wanderers collapsed on the pitch due to a cardiac arrest about ten days ago. He was quickly rushed to a hospital and has got quite a lot better since then.
Anyway, some guy abused Muamba on twitter when the incident occurred and then followed it up with racial abuse of some others who told him (the abuser) to STFU. Now this guy has been sentenced to 56 days in prison.
[/r/soccer seems to think the punishment is disproportionate to the crime. I'm not sure I agree with this. What does SRSD think? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
The paradox of "death" after death for non-believers... | We don't know what death is, we have no way of knowing as there is no evidence from the experiences of death.. and we as atheists, who consider ourselves rational and logical beings, must accept this.
So, when you begin discussing what happens after death, are you not taking a giant leap of faith if you make ANY definitive statements?
edit - Let me re-iterate; I didn't mean "we don't know what death is", I meant more along the lines of we don't fully understand the experience of death, again relating to the lack of evidence from any experiences. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Piracetam trial and questions | **My results from Piracetam after one week.**
I've been taking 800mg of piracetam with 250mg choline. I take them every morning after eating a bowl of cereal.
The first day I felt very strong effects. One hour after taking them I was in a very good mood. I also felt a bit disoriented, almost dizzy but it was mild. I was in such a good mood that people actually asked why I was smiling so much.
Effects were strongest about 1 hour after consumption and slowly wore off. After 8 hours I wasn't really noticing any effects remaining.
As the week progressed I noticed the effects seem to get less pronounced. Now at the end of the week I'm not really noticing much. The improved mood is still felt but it is very mild. The disorientation is not really felt at all anymore.
**Other possible effects:**
I feel a bit more aggressive and emotions feel stronger both good and bad.
I've experienced heart palpitations for years and they seemed to have been happening more often this week. Could be coincidental. Since it was a stressful week these other effects could be unrelated.
**Questions:**
Will the effects continue to get weaker? Do people have to up their intake due to decreased sensitivity to the drug?
Are these affects what are normally seen? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Suggestions needed for getting married in Europe | Hi Reddit, my fiancé and I live in the US and would like to get married in Europe. We want a very basic and small ceremony, nothing fancy but we want it to be held at a nice location (great view, atmosphere, etc). We are also trying to keep this as inexpensive as possible. We don’t want a big giant reception with a band or DJ, we are thinking more along the lines of a really nice dinner with good wine. BTW...our guest list will probably be around 20 people, and no more than 30.
Our initial idea is Portugal, but we are open to all suggestions.
What locations do you suggest? What do we have to do to get a local marriage license? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

A whole gram of DXM, only 1st plateau. | Currently it is 1 in the morning. At around 10pm, I took about 1gram of DXM (Duract max str. cough tablets.) I'm only about 120 lbs, so this should have been a crazy fucking trip. The problem is that ever since about 11pm, I have been at what feels like a first plateau. Does anyone know why I'm not tripping right now?
I have done DXM many times before this, and I made sure that the tabs had only DXM in them. Mt friend has been saying it's because I ate some food before I took the tablets, and that it will hit me soon enough, but I didn't eat a whole lot, and with a whole gram of DXM I figured it wouldn't matter that much. Thanks for any info you guys can give me. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
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.

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 |
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 |

[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.

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 |

[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!

Chinos with a fit similar to casual jeans? | Basically I want to integrate more non-jeans pants into my everyday wardrobe, but I've never been able to find chinos that fit me like a pair of causal denim pants does. I have little problem finding chinos in my size (34x30 currently, I'm 5' 11") but the fit is almost always too loose around the legs. The best jeans I've found for my current body type are Levi 514.
Anyone know of brands of pants that are cut or styled more casual like a pair of jeans? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Petition to Shut Down Indian Point.

Please show your support and help to spread the word, thanks!

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!

My GPU doesn't contact my monitor after switching cases. Does something have to be plugged in here? | After switching cases, my computer boots up, but I don't get anything out of the GPU. Either the connection between my GPU and my mobo is broken or something needs to be plugged in here:
Specs I can remember without access to the computer:
GPU: HIS Radeon 6970
CPU: Phenom II x6 black edition
RAM: Corsair Vengeance somethingsomething 2x4GB
Case: CoolerMaster HAF X
Everything was working before I switched cases, so I think I forgot to plug something in.
I would really appreciate some help. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Are the VS sniper rifles the weakest? | Hello /r/Planetside !
I recently picked up Planetside 2, and i chose to play the VS.
Since i play Sniper in like every game, i picked up the infiltrator to suit my needs to snipe people.
But recently i feel like the VS sniper rifle is the weakest one. I need atleast 3 shots on every target, to get it down. Meanwhile the enemy snipers (TR and NC) 1 shot me every single time.
Am i missunderstanding something here or am i doing something wrong? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Updated Apex launcher and now that little box on the upper right is gone :( | Running Paranoid Android. I updated Apex Launcher a few days ago and suddenly the icon I used to press to access my apps, represented by 6 gray squares on the upper right, is gone. The accompanying button for google now and microphone search on the upper left corner is also gone. Using nova instead doesn't change this. I really liked that icon.
I also apologize if this technically is the wrong subreddit to post this. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
When is the best time to book flights to Europe? | Hi all; I know many of you are already rolling your eyes at yet ANOTHER question about booking international flights. But believe me, I've done my research about which websites to use, the fact that I should check elsewhere for budget airlines, how different times of the week are better than others, to cross-check the various places...
So here's the situation: My husband and I (24 and 25 yrs old) will be backpacking/hostelling around Europe this Fall. We're living in Vancouver, BC (he, citizen; me, US citizen, Canadian resident), and hope to leave from YVR, but are happy to leave from Seattle as well. We want to travel from early September to sometime in December (late November if need be).
Is there a better time (i.e. time from departure) to book flights? I know if we book TOO far in advance, not all the flights will even have been planned, meaning we possibly jump the gun and miss out on a good deal; contrariwise, if we wait too long, we risk screwing ourselves by needing a last-minute flight. I understand there will be outliers in either direction, but is there a best A) Time of year, or B) Length of time before departure that we can book?
Thank you so much for your time!
TL;DR When is the best time to make the purchase for a flight to Europe from Canada in September? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Classical guitar sounding exactly like a Piano. How do you do that ? | I attended a concert (by Denis Azabagic if it matters) where at some point he played the guitar in a way that made it sound *exactly* like a Piano.
Does anyone know how to do that ? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Teachers/professors of Reddit, what's something that impresses you about students today versus those in the past? | It seems we usually just hear about how different students are today in a bad way.

How do you calculate cost for usage? | Hey all,
I'm just wondering how you calculate what to charge for usage? Or if you do this at all? If so, is it a percentage of the cost based on the number of people who will see it? Or is it based solely on distribution?
I know in the photography world there are online calculators that will give you an idea based on size of ad, distribution, etc., but I can't find anything like that for us. That kind of leads me to the conclusion that no-one calculates for usage and I am totally crazy for thinking about this. Am I crazy, Reddit? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
In an entry level PM position at a startup with no other PMs. I have some questions. | I am about 1 month into a project management position at a startup company. The only previous experience I have is a project managenent internship. And have formal college classes in project management and a CAPM. I am the only project manager here so I really have no specific mentor and the only one here who is faniliar with project management practices is the CTO. I am definately learning a lot of this stuff as I go with some direction from the CTO. Is working in a position like this going to hurt my future potential as a project manager considering I'm not learning directly from another PM? What can I do to ensure I am doing things right? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Have pork stir fry pork meat, stir fry flavoring, but no stir fry veggies. Any ideas as to what to make with it? | So, I bought some stir fry stuff thinking that by the time I cooked it, I'd have the vegetables. Well, it turns out, that I probably will not have the vegetables by the time I cook it (likely will be cooked tomorrow or Monday). I am not quite sure what to do with it though.
I have rice, all sorts of pasta (spaghetti noodles, elbow noodles, some twisty like noodles, some straw like noodles and even lasagna noodles), some pasta sauces, macaroni and cheese, hamburger helper mix and generally items like that. I also have a few cheeses too: cheddar, sharp cheddar, and mozzarella. Oh, and oranges! Plenty of oranges and a water melon. I have bread (sour dough, french, and wheat), some canned soups (chicken broth, tomato, cream of mushroom, and chicken with rice soup). Aside from that, I have canned vegetables (corn, peas, olives, mushrooms, green beans) and canned fruits. Then, I have a few miscellaneous type sauces: fry sauce, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise.
I'm not saying that I would like to use ALL of these ingredients in a meal, I'm just letting you guys know what I have to work with.
Does anyone have any idea what to do with pork stir fry meat and any of the ingredients I listed above? Unfortunately, I am out of all seasonings except oregano, salt, pepper, and Parmesan. But I do have a packet of stir fry seasoning.
Thanks for your help! This is my first post here and I've looked over the internet but so far have turned up nothing that I can really work with.
The last time I was in a similar situation, I combined pork stew meat, oregano, Parmesan, and white cheddar noodles together and it was pretty yummy!
Edit: I also have 12 eggs, flour and sugar. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Some deep-ass thoughts about the movie Blade Runner | I was thinking about the movie Blade Runner and the author of the book who was an scholar on the psychedelics and a lover of trees aswell. It gave me the thought that the movie was about pscyhonauts/trees and how society viewed them. The android are suposse to represent psychonauts. They are explorers of their subjective experiences of the world. They want to exspand their conscinousness and society view them as artificial. Society also want them for work, they are the underlings who are only usefull for working under the most harsh conditions in the world that is dying.
The other world i supossed to represent a place where ideas can be realized. The androids are not supossed to enter this place, cause they are a threat to the established order.
The reason i think this movie is not thematic with artificial intelligence is the last scene of the movie. Where Roy Batty almost enters a psychedelic-zen state as he gets closer to his mortality. He truely love the world for what it is. He is so love with being alive, that he doesen`t even wanna kill Deckard, though he killed off the individual he loved the most.
And i think the reason the androids has a very limited timespan, is so that it is certain that they cannot evolve their ideas. Androids represent the threat of individuals to the established order.
..And btw.

A family friend wants me to talk to their kid about attending medical school, however, as someone who just recently graduated and was more or less forced into medicine I wouldn't want somebody else suffer like I did with a career enforced upon them. How do I handle this without affecting his choice? | This August I got my medical license. A lot of the relatives and family friends visited to congratulate me, and one family friend has a kid who just finished high school and is going into university, his parents want me to talk to him into getting into medschool and become a doctor, I know the kid quite well, he's brilliant and the kind of person who's good with computers and math, his parents want him to be a doctor while he is quite unsure about if he wants to become an Engineer or to cave in for his parent's request.
Right now, I don't know what to do about this. I'm afraid of lying to him about how I loved medschool and how awesome it is to be a doctor, because medschool is not fun and is too stressful. But I also don't want to discourage him from getting into a good career choice (even if I don't enjoy it, being a doctor is good investment long-term), not to mention I don't want to upset his parents as they are good friends of the family.
I am seriously conflicted about this whole ordeal. If I'm truly honest, he'll be discouraged as my experience with medschool wasn't pleasant as I was forced into it, but I don't want to affect his choice to not pick it either. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[TOMT][Movie] Name of a movie my coach told me about 11 years ago. | Hello all, my coached back in high school described a movie to me that I want to see but do not remember the name of it. He told me about a scene in the movie where somebody was going to kill this guy's family, so instead of the guy letting this other person kill his family, he killed them himself and then found the guy who wanted to kill his family and killed him for wanting to kill his family. Does anybody know what this movie is? Thanks | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[Bill] Extend Detainment Period | The current court system is under a heavy load, and it cannot handle the number of cases it is faced with given the time period it has to prosecute alleged criminals. This bill, if passed, will amend the Constitution to extend the period under which an individual can be held without trial to 7 days. If found guilty, these 7 days will count toward the sentence. This will allow for alleged criminals to be tried without having transgressors slip through the judicial system. Furthermore, this amendment will also facilitate better negotiations over potential extradition cases. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
[TOMT] [MOVIE] Kids teleported through TV screen to video game / fantasy world (live action) | Recall bits of this from when I was quite young. Probably released late-80's/early-90's.
Kids are messing around with their father's advanced science equipment in the garage (just trying to play a video game on his super large TV). They accidentally trigger some kind of teleportation device and get sucked into the TV. They are either in the video game itself, or some kind of alternate fantasy/dungeon world and have to escape.
As far as I recall, it was all live-action with full-scale costuming/make-up for the alternate world, no animation. Also, the giant TV remained on an ominous blank blue screen the entire time. And there was some kind of time limit in which they had to escape, but I forget what the consequence was.
Solved: It's the 1992 movie *Adventures in Dinosaur City*. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Beta Test Weekends and Character Creation names | So I know we are all excited for the BWE next weekend, my question is this: When we create our character name, even tho this is Beta, will that name we created be unique to our account now and we will be able to use it when the game releases or is it temporary and we have to make it again when the game comes out. I wanted to know this because I do not have a GW1 account so I dont have any names reserved, but if we can reserve them by making toons in the Beta Weekends then that will give me a chance and others before the onslaught on opening day or headstarts | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Should I go on more than one date a week? | For reference, I'm 24/m if it matters.

Why is sitting so unhealthy? | I've read several studies recently that show that sitting is bad for you. Even with a good amount of exercising in your life, extended periods of sitting is correlated with a higher risk of death. Is this because the positions we sit in add stress to the body?
