(Spoliers ADWD) Long ranged foreshadowing with Tyrion | I was rereading AGOT today, and in the second Tyrion chapter, while explaining why he reads so much, he says
>"Had I been born a peasant, they might have left me out to die, or **sold me to some slaver's grotesquerie.**
If GRRM planned this from the start, bravo. Such a subtle line, that comes true so far down the road, it really impressed me.
On a related note, Jorah selling poachers to slavers, and then being sold as a slave himself was also a nice bit of writing to me as well.
GRRM always says he has the destination and the road he will take planned, but fills in the details as he goes, so this type of long range foreshadowing surprises me.
There of course is the Sansa-Jon-Janos Slynt event that he almost didn't write, can anyone think of other events similar to these? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
How do I play Jarven top lane? | Everytime I try to play Jarven in top lane, I always get stomped on. However, whenever other people I face play Jarven, they always win the lane hard and snowball out of control. Is there a specific way to play him and are there certain items that he needs in order to win his lane? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Best resources for Drupal newbie? | Attempting to give Drupal an honest look. I've been developing themes and plugins for Wordpress for a few years now and would like to have another CMS in my tool belt.
I've already spent some time on drupal.org looking over docs but would like to start theming and doing some real customization. Where should I look first to get the ball rolling?
Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks everyone! Some awesome resources here! Definitely got some work ahead of me :) | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Why is Deadric armor stronger than Dragon armor? | It doesn't make sense to me. You need 100 smithing to get Dragon armor and weapons, but you only need 90 for Deadric. Shouldn't it be the other way around? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
[USA] Going back to PC from Mac. Gaming/Lightroom and other photo editing | I'm looking to get back into PC life. But it has been a good 12 years since I built a computer and feel tech has passed me by. Not sure what to consider so I'm looking for some help. I would like to get a PC that is more than capable with photo editing like Lightroom. I plan on doing some video work (like GoPro stuff...nothing professional). I also would like to get something that is more than capable with gaming (such as Skyrim or Civ 5...occasional FPS but not my preference these days). I do not care to get into overclocking...mostly because I never did it and I don't think I need to unless I'm convinced to consider it. I will need a decent sized monitor for editing and will need a keyboard and mouse as well. Budget-wise I'd like to stay under 1000 if possible but like I said...tech has passed me by and do not keep up with it like I used to. Thanks. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I was told I should consider & accept this reality today: Women in love are more inclined to try to nurture a relationship through challenges. Men are more inclined to run and replace. Thoughts? | I was told today from a relationship therapist that women in love are more inclined to stick around despite a relationship having challenges; they are more likely to offer their partner unconditional love, they will try almost anything to nurture the relationship, fix the deeper issues, they'll do more to support and please their partners in such times, they'll adapt to their partners needs more willingly, make more compromises, do more inner-self work, and they are more likely to stay comitted. And that men, regardless of love, are more inclined to run from the relationship if there are challenges, finding it easier to quickly replace the woman/partnership with another, even if the replacement is just a temporary one.
It was suggested that if I could accept this as the most common reality then my current situation will be easier for me to understand, heal through and move on from.
Any thoughts on this?
**EDIT**: I apologise, I didn't think this would get such a heated response, or so quickly. The discussion was around me having health issues (transplant/cancer) & sexual experiences when we were apart that lead to my partner leaving the relationship/me trying desperately to fix it. So perhaps the advice was more inline with such situations? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Would a rapid growth hormone in trees stop deforestation? | Would it be possible to create an orchard of genetically altered trees? Ones that will grow the size of a redwood in a matter of a couple years? I have thought about the possibility of finding the element in plant DNA which is responsible for growth rate. If it could be altered to speed up then there would be farms for these trees to be cut annually producing the countries tree fiber. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Your thoughts on a Kawasaki kl250. | I'm about to buy my first motorcycle, an old Kawasaki kl250 that needs some renovation to be done also.
The description says it doesn't start because of a problem with the ignition and i don't think it would be that much of a problem for me to fix that.
Now my question is: is it worth it's €300 ($400) to buy it as a renovation project and use it to learn riding offroad as i can't get a motorcycle driving license yet and it has no papers?

Edit: to young for driving license and i also want to learn out of it how the hole engine works, also like to do renovations. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Pre-University Sociology essay - please tell me if I'm doing it right, tips/criticism welcome! | I'm an access university student (mature student to those outside UK) and have started a course in Sociology. Our first assignment is to answer the question "What are the benefits of developing a sociological imagination?" I feel like I've just written everything I can think of. I've read the relevant books, apart from two which are out of the library at the moment and have to keep checking. I've also tried searching through journals and google, and the British Sociological Association. However, the sociological imagination isn't *part* of sociology - it's more like a tool with which to expand your frame of mind and think rationally. The essay's due on Thursday and I'm really freaking out as it counts towards my grade. I do have an idea for another use of sociological imagination, but I think it would be hard to back up. I'm afraid I might be confusing "imagination" with perspective, but I really can't get it. Please help!!link to essay on Google docs | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Reddit, what are your thoughts on stress leave? | A little bit of backstory: Last week my doctor gave me a note for stress leave for the whole week off, because my blood pressure is ludicrously high (Consistently over 140 systolic and 90 diastolic every time I test) and she can find no medical explanation for it besides stress. I feel fine most of the time, but occaisonally if I run up a flight of stairs I'll feel dizzy. I had my boyfriend with me when I saw her, so he immediately jumped in with the issues I've been having with my boss. I don't eat poorly although apparently I have an iron deficiency, but not a lot of sodium or fatty foods full of cholesterol.
Now, my boss wasn't too happy about it but he had to honour the note, and his boss (Whom I'd already been speaking to about maybe getting a transfer away from here) and I were talking through the week about my return to work, any accomodations she could make for me, etc. I have a meeting with her Friday. She's been incredibly concerned and helpful, and wants me to feel more welcome at my new building.
What kind of leave I can use for my stress leave is one of the things we'll be talking about, and someone said something to me about "short-term disability" (Which is an insurance thing/some paperwork to send off to the government that I don't really want to do XD), then I got curious and Googled stress leave. Some sites say it's a-okay, some count it as a negative social stigma, ie. the sign of a bad employee.
Personally I'm not sure what to think of it, I feel like I've taken advantage of the system yet everyone tells me I've got a real medical concern that legitimises it. So I was wondering, Reddit, what do you think of stress leave or the people that take stress leave? I'd like to hear some more honest opinions, maybe anecdotes. Thanks. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Any suggestions on where I could have this marathon? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Intermediate Writer's Group (online over Skype) | **There's nothing sadder than a lonely screenwriter**. After you finish your screenplay, the best thing to do is come out of your cave and share it with your peers for their feedback. Writers Groups are a simple, effective way to improve your work!
Want to create a small group of intermediate writers (at least 2 screenplays, 3+ years of experience and some time working in the field) for mutual feedback. The plan is to meet twice a month over Skype and critique each other's work.
Encouraging, intelligent, positive critiques. Emphasis on the lost art of dramaturgy and implementable, tactical techniques - not just high level advice.
Once a month, table read an entire screenplay with actors. This has so many benefits with dialogue, subtext, etc. Limited to 5-6 people only who will need to submit some samples of their writing. Voice actors for table reads are welcome too.
The plan is to also branch off into genre-specific subgroups in the future to hone genre-specific skills and tactics.
Please introduce yourself and your writing career in short and/or PM me if interested. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

vaginal bleeding between periods, light cramps, left lower abdomen tender to pressure | Age of sufferer: 29
Duration of complaint: Started 2 days ago with light menstrual-like cramps.
Does it itch: No
Past medical history: 4 pregnancies, one of which miscarried at 6-7 weeks
Not on birth control
married, no sex with multiple partners
Last menstrual cycle was 10 days prior to this. I am almost always 1 week late to start, so I have about 4 weeks in between cycles
The morning after I first felt light cramping, I noticed a few small blood clots upon wiping. It was unusual in that it was just clots, not like a period where there is obviously blood on the tissue or in the pot. Since then, I have seen no more clots, but often I can tell the tissue is very light pink when I wipe, and my pads are also very slightly rusty blood colored. Also, later the same day I started getting a whiteish discharge, sorry for this unpleasant description... but it is **not** odorous, itchy, burning, and **cannot** be described as "cottage cheese". It has remained constant and steady though.
When pressing on the area around my ovaries, it is tender to pressure on the left side but not the right.
Cramps and bleeding have not been severe at all.
Can't think of anything else to add that might be useful...
Thanks for taking the time to read | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[build help] I have an extra 1TB external hard drive. Looking for advice on what to do with it. | Here's the deal. Before I decided to build my own PC, I bought an external hard drive (1 TB WD Elements) to help store and back-up my MacBook. Now that I'm going to build a desktop, I have this extra External HDD with very little on it.
I am aware that I can open it up and put it in one of the drive bays for use as a normal internal HDD. I haven't opened it up yet, but I'm pretty sure it's 5400 RPM.
Would you open it and use it as an internal HDD if you were me?
Would the slower RPM still be useable as my main HDD if I buy an SSD for my OS and a few games?
Or would you buy a new HDD that is faster and keep the WD as an external drive for backing up data?

I am involved with a local theatre who is putting on a production of **Avenue Q**. Early on, the director got a hold of **Kaitlen Sousa**, artisan and whom had previously worked with **Rick Lyon** (the original puppet designer for the show on Broadway) to make our own puppets for the show. We started up a Kickstarter campaign to help pay for the commissions. We've only raised 33% of the goal we need to reach ($2,500) and only have 25 days to go.

Are these common symptoms associated with sleep paralysis? | It's been awhile since I've experienced this but what I've self diagnosed as sleep paralysis goes like this:
I feel like I'm awake and can't move. I get a pleasurable (I don't know how else to describe it) sensation in the front of my brain. This can be a short sensation or last for quite awhile. Then, the feeling of dread and terror sets in. I'm unable to move, speak, etc. This is sometimes accompanied by hallucinations such as the sensation of someone/something being there, hearing voices, etc. Then it suddenly stops. My body feels relaxed and I have this feeling of immense peace before going back to sleep.
I understand that the experience of being unable to move along with the feeling of terror and hallucinations are not uncommon for sleep paralysis, but what about the precursor of the pleasurable sensation and the feeling of calm and relaxation immediately following? Is that common? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Hey r/starcraft, please help me with my research project! | Hey guys, I need community help for a research project I am doing at my high school. Basically, I am just trying to see the if playing StarCraft II has any short term effects on reaction times. If you would like to participate, this is all I need you to do;
1. Firstly, you will need to have SC2Gears installed. If you don't and still want to participate, you can download it here. It's a great program regardless.
2. After this you will need to play a round of the "Mouse Practice Game", which can be found under the "Tools" header on the program's main navigation bar. After you do this, take a screenshot of the result (it should look like this. Save this screenshot as "Game 1" or something similar.
3. Now, immediately following, play a multiplayer 1v1 game of StarCraft II. Obviously, if the person leaves right away or something similar, play another one. Save the replay as something you can remember.
4. Now, go back to SC2Gears and retry the "Mouse Practice Game", and save the score like the first time. Email your first screenshot, your game replay, and your second screenshot to project.scii@gmail.com.
And that's about it! Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help with this, and have fun playing!
Also thanks to the author of SC2Gears. He helped make this little project possible, so check out the program if you can. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Petter Vaagan Moen has signed for LSK | (From LSK.no
Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. Petter Vaagan Moen signed a three-year contract with LSK. The 28-year-old is delighted to be LSK player.
- I see the potential of both the team and the club, and am looking forward to playing in the yellow and black shirt. Efforts are being made, and it's something I want to participate in. LSK also have a coach Magnus Haglund who wants me and wants to focus on me. After a challenging year in England, it is now important for me to get a sense of security, and to know that I am going to a club where I can develop myself and be counted on, says Petter Vaagan Moen to LSK.no.
After 171 games in the Premier Divison for both Ham-kam and Brann, Vaagan Moen went to Queens Park Rangers. There, he was not given the playing time he wanted. Now he's back in Norway.
- The most important thing for me is that I come to a club where I can become a better football player. That, I think I can do at Åråsen, he said.
- There are potential for development here. I always want to be better, and after a chat with Torgeir Bjarmann and Magnus Haglund, I made up my mind.
The ambitions of Vaagan Moen and LSK are the same.
- LSK wants to fight in the top, but it is not done overnight, given that the club has a new coach and many new players. It must be worked on over time to produce results. We need to create a winning culture, and not just training culture. We must have the mentality. We must never be satisfied, but fight harder than everyone else. It has not been customary to fight for gold here, and such things are not done in a year.
- But we can fight on the upper part of the table this year. That's why I'm here. I have come here to win something in the long run, but I know that it isn't done in a wave of the hand. It's very even in the Premier League and anything can happen. We must be on our toes, anddo the job one hundred percent all the way.
Vaagan Moen boasts LSK and their supporters.
- In addition, there is soul in the club. LSK longs for good results and it is something I would like to contribute. It is tradition here, and I've always heard that it is winning culture in the walls. It has always been fun to come here to play games, and songs that the Canary fans sing during matches buzz in your head for hours afterwards.
- I've got a very good impression of the supporters of LSK. I've also been in Brann where the fans were very good, and I am looking forward to playing for LSK fans. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What control setup will you be using for Diablo? | I am curious how everyone will be setting up their controls. I have already opted for the more comfortable QWER over 1234 control scheme, along with a force move key somewhere near QWER.
But now I must wonder, what about my mouse? I probably won't use all of the crazy side buttons, but I'm debating setting my move/standard attack to right-click. Most recent RTS/MOBA games have me stuck on this setup, but I'm not so sure about the change because Diablo feels okay either way.
What will you be doing for your setup and why?

Reddit, I am allergic to water. Anyone else have any weird allergies? | OK, i am not allergic to water *per se* but I am allergic to Fluoride.

Pan frying vs Baking Bacon... | How come when I pan fry bacon there is literally a pool of grease/fat, but when I bake it in the oven there's only a couple of drops? I bake it on a cooling rack, if that matters and I pan fry in an iron skillet. Is it healthier to pan fry? since it appears a lot of the fat is left over? I literally get like half a jar of grease after pan frying but just drops from baking. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: okay, so after baking the second pack of bacon (a lesser quality, the first pack was a thicker, higher quality bacon) I can see a significant amount of grease that leaked through the foil, but still not nearly as much as when I pan fry. I will add though the grease appears to be a lot more pure? almost like vegetable oil, as also mentioned below. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I think I might have encountered a hacker while playing on XBL... [video inside] | So guys, I played a match today and I noticed one the opponent players was acting quite strangely.
The first time he killed me, I was running from the US Spawn to the bridge (where the E flag is located in PC Conquest) and he started shooting at me. I emptied a whole FAMAS mag directly at him and **none** of my bullets ever hit him, afterwards he came in front of me and although we were face to face, he assasinated me (At first I thought I was lagging, but actually **I wasn't**).
Later on, I noticed that also my teammates were unable to kill this guy by using their weapons, since the bullets just went throught him like he was a ghost and the only way to kill him is by throwing nades at his feet or by knife assasinations, while he was able to kill everybody with ease!
*Even more strangely, this guy has played 177 hours, has almost 7000 kills with the knife and still has a positive K/D Ratio.
**I've recorded him with my mobile phone and I made a youtube vid. Just see what he does and tell me if this is even possible without using any hacks (especially in the first clip where he runs to bunch of my teammates and he C4s them without even get hurt)
*TL/DR*: I've might have found a hacker playing bf3, see the vid and tell me your thoughts.. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Amazing Guide To Pokémon TCG (X-Post from /
pkmntcg) | **
This was posted on /r/pkmntcg but thought it could use posting on /PTCGO in case anyone here doesn't visit that subreddit. This is by far one of the best resources on the TCG I have read in a long time. It's aimed at the physical card game, but obviously most of that transfers over to PTCGO.
I will be recommending/linking the article to any new players who seem interested to start playing PTCGO competitively and I'd encourage you to do the same.

Career paths involving the future of healthcare/medicine using technology/IT/PCs? (x-post) | I'd also like to hear your opinions surrounding career paths aimed to develop the future in medicine and healthcare.
I've recently graduated high school where I took all the natural sciences. I'm 18 and am now taking a year to aimlessly and nervously figure out what I want to do with my life.
I've spent hours looking at different courses being offered. The one that fits most accurately is Biomedical Engineering (MEng). If i'm spot on with that, please let me know! :) If there are any Biomedical Engineers here, please share a day in your life.
So ever since I started taking advanced Biology at high school I've been fascinated by the human body and its capabilities. Though I do enjoy physics and chemistry (in that order), I see them as mere compliments to what I want to work with. On the other hand, I've grown up in a technological era. My PC is one of my most prized possessions. I'm the de facto IT guy in my group of friends. I spend most of my free time reading about (/r/microsoft, /r/IBM, /r/apple, /r/Android etcetc) and spending time with technology.
As IT is evolving it's being used more and more in healthcare. I want to be a part of it. I want to help develop (and probably research) things like Tissue engineering & Regenerative Medicine (3D printed organs), medical imaging, catheters, transmitters, programmable pacemakers/stem cells. I'd also prefer an office job, or developing with a team using computers and tech, going to meetings, etc. than working on cultures in a lab by myself and documenting results every day...just to give a picture of my ideal workplace. In short, I want to work for an innovative technology company.
**TL;DR:** What are some careers paths starting from uni (undergraduate) which will lead to jobs involving human biology and technology? The closest I've found is Biomedical Engineering. I'd rather work with computers and their byproducts than in a lab culturing bacteria.
Thanks guys! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

NASL has been terrible for competitive players. And you all should know. | Many of you do not know how crazy NASL has been for the players and teams. Deadlines meant **absolutely nothing.** The schedule for games played, as well as who was playing who, was not set until the **NIGHT BEFORE** some teams were supposed to play. Team's rosters were changing way past the deadline was set. Players were allowed to be added to teams roster at ANY TIME, given that player had not played in NASL before.
Even the rules were changing on the fly. HiRez_Bart said loudly and clearly on a stream over a week ago, that multiple snipers were allowed to be used. Some teams used this strategy, and won games. This past weekend the rule was suddenly reversed, mid-game.
The rule is listed here
This information can only be reached through the news section on the website. No contact information was given. It is impossible to find any other information about the tournament (teams, rosters, schedule, etc.) from the website nasl.tv.
While I know Tribes is still in it's early stages of development. HiRez has someone DEDICATED as an e-sports spokesperson. This person REALLY needs to step up their game and commit themselves more. If they are putting in 100% and not accomplishing the things they need to accomplish, then more delegating or hiring needs to occur.
First impressions HiRez. Incredibly important. CSN had 2K+ viewers at first. NASL is bringing in a few hundred. While I know there are plenty of other variables to call in, can't help but be scared! Please get your act together before you ruin a great thing. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
To Materialists who are Compatibilists: Care to Come Down from the Mountain? | Hi there,
I am what you'd call a *hard incompatibilist* with respect to free will. I am also a determinist.
Accordingly, this post is directed at materialists (as most atheists are) who are compatibilists, specifically those who accept quantum indeterminacy as a basis for free will. I am prepared to make the argument that indeterminacy in the mind entails dualism (keep reading to get an idea of what I mean), and will openly accuse you of that if you claim to be a strict materialist.
----
To review: The Standard Argument Against Free Will has two parts, as follows:
* First, if determinism is the case, the will is not free. We call this the *Determinism* Objection.
* Second, if indeterminism and real chance exist, our will would not be in our control, we could not be responsible for random actions.
We call this the *Randomness* Objection.
Robert Kane is a philosopher of great relevance here. describes the usual determinism and randomness objections as the ascent and descent of what he calls "Incompatibilism Mountain."
So, by redefining free will to be compatible (as David Hume did), you have successfully completed the ascent. Now, I would like for you to answer the following: What exactly is an compatibilist free will? Care to come down from the Mountain?
----
It is my position that compatibilism (by way of quantum indeterminacy) necessarily entails dualism. To be clear: this includes any two-stage model of free will, such as those posited by the likes of Popper and Dennett. Most notably, I intend to be very critical of Karl Popper, who changed his mind:
>>That is to say, a range of possibilities is brought about by a probabilistic and quantum mechanically characterized set of proposals, as it were - of possibilities brought forward by the brain. On these **there then operates a kind of selective procedure which eliminates those proposals and those possibilities which are not acceptable to the mind.**
And, to be more specific regarding his stance:
>>I have changed my mind on this issue. A choice process may be a selection process, and the selection may be from some repertoire of random events, **without being random in its turn**. This seems to me to offer a promising solution to one of our most vexing problems, and one by downward causation.
Popper stands in contradiction with that emphasized statement, and he does not describe how this selection operator is not random. As such, he severs the connection between body and mind, leaving him with dualism.
That is: if you affirm free will in any meaningful sense (i.e. regarding control and the ability to do otherwise), you are necessarily a dualist.
----
Further, the dualist rejoinder is best thought as follows:
1. A cause must be sufficient to bring about an effect.
2. Quantum indeterminacy suggests that there are effects without a sufficient physical cause.
3. Diemma: By (1) and (2), physicalism leaves us with an explanatory gap.
4. The explanatory gap can be filled by a non-physical mind (or more strongly: it must not be filled by anything physical).
If you are a dualist (which most theists are), then I am not addressing you because then free will is not an immediate problem. It is pushed back a step, and I'll save your critiques for later.
So, compatibilist materialists, do you accept quantum indeterminacy? Also notable to this conversation is discussions surrounding the interpretation of quantum mechanics. I am likewise prepared to argue against the Copenhagen interpretation should that be relevant to your argument.
Best wishes,
Dave | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[Idea] My vision of a random dungeon. | **Random Dungeon (RD)**
*These are just some ideas I had in case blizzard is still brainstorming.*
Opening and Entering the Dungeon
---------------------------------
-RD would be accessible via collecting rare drops off of all four act bosses. Drop rate corresponds to difficulty level.
-For sake of example, you would need to collect 4 pieces of a broken signet.
-Once you have all 4 pieces, you take it to the blacksmith and have him repair the signet. When you do this, a portal will open and it will stay open until everyone leaves the game.
-The portal will take you to level 1 of the RD.
Dungeon Mechanics
-------------------
-Dungeon will go down in floors, the lighting would start as being fairly bright (not as bright as Whimseyshire)
-Each level you will fight mobs that get harder and loot would scale up in level as well.
-Each level you descend will reduce the lighting by 2% until there is zero visibility at lvl 50. (Health globes, casting spells, elites, weapon animations, monk aura, etc. will cause some ambient light)
-Each level has a chance to spawn a merchant. The merchant will give you a discount based on how deep you have progressed. (maybe 1% per level) Merchants also always carry a rare and has a low % chance to carry a legendary/set item for big money.
-There is a small chance for “fun levels” to spawn when going down in levels. These can include things like a “goblin-only level”, “resplendent chest level where the whole floor is covered in fire vents”, “levels where all mobs, even white, have a single affix like knockback or vortex to push and pull you all over the place”, etc.
-Gems have a chance to drop as perfect squares after level 50
-Achievements for reaching certain levels and possible banner unlocks.
-Guaranteed 1m gold prize at level 50
-Guaranteed 10m gold prize at lvl 100
-Final boss at level 100 that has a 1-2% chance to drop a legendary/set or plan/design. (only 1) | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Why do we play board games? | Why do we play board games? Is it for the challenge? The pursuit of winning? The socialization aspect (though there are solo board games)?
I guess in a SubReddit devoted to this hobby/obsession, we should sometimes ask why. Call it the journalist in me.
Here's my attempt at explaining why I love board games:
For me it has to be, above all, the time spent with friends or other gamers. It's a chance to unwind and see some people face to face, ask how they're doing and then try to grow some crops, or to crush the invading space alien horde together. Sure, I like the mental challenge of the strategy games (that is definitely second on the list), but without the face to face interaction, I don't really care. I think it's why I avoid playing Diplomacy online despite how much easier it might be.
What about you folks? Why do you keep coming back to board games? I'm looking for an answer besides "it's fun". If they weren't fun, we wouldn't play them. What makes them fun? Share any stories you think best illustrate why you keep coming back to board games and what drew you in in the first place. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Update on my progress with the Sinclair Method-5 weeks now | This is just a brief update for anyone who wanted to know about my progress with the Sinclair Method, I'm now over all side effects completely, it only took a few days, I do sometimes feel more impatient after the first hour of taking it but then I just make sure to avoid queues! Even the vivid dreams have gone, which is a shame! I feel absolutely fine and have no side effects of depression or low moods.
What it has done, is change my relationship with alcohol, it's happened gradually,at first I seemed to be drinking as I had before and maybe even more, but I've soldiered through, taken nal EVERY time an hour before drinking and.... I've just started developing.. not just more control and not an aversion to drink, that would imply more of an emotional involvement, but just a real indifference to it, when I think " Should I have a drink?" I just think "Nah" there's no real thinking or white knuckling through or suppressing enormous cravings-it's just a feeling of indifference and thinking I'll go and do something different instead.
So far I must have at least halved my alcohol intake and if I have alcohol in the house I don't feel any need to finish it, which would have been unheard of in the past, it's just there.I'll start a can of beer and get bored with it, something that would also never have happened before-until I'd finished the six pack and gone for a bit of a lie down! I went out to dinner with friends and had two glasses of wine, a lovely evening and then just stopped.
I've also been planning no alcohol days when the naloxone will be out of my system, because it suppresses your dopamine levels, when it leaves your system(after 24 hours) it causes a flood of dopamine,which means that any activities you do are enhanced, so that's when I schedule my run or weights or dance class for no alcohol no nal days, yes planning no alcohol days has been a thing of the past too and take advantage of the positive reinforcement that my brain forms with healthy activities-excellent!
This is only the first month, it normally takes three to four months at least and possibly a lot longer to be fully in control of your drinking -or your abstinence, some people want to be abstinent and find they can drink socially if they want and some people are trying to control their drinking and find they want to be completely abstinent, it depends- and you have to take it an hour before you drink, every time you want to drink, for the rest of our life.I have no problem with that and it costs about $25 a month, which is probably covered by one day of not drinking! So it's working for me so far and more than that I have no side effects at all and it's just this feeling of indifference that's so new and strange, I'm just not thinking about it, I'll open a can of beer and have it sitting next to me, get involved with something and forget about it, it's not a case of desperately not trying to think about it, I've just forgotten about it.
If anyone is interested, I'll post with updates again and obviously anyone can ask as many questions as they like.
One thing though, I'm getting a bit fed up with the sneering, jeering comments of some of the more rabid AA ers and the sanctimonious ones. The kind of " Boy, your addiction must be doing press ups, just waiting for you to fail"and the comments where people are almost rubbing their hands in glee and hoping you fail because then they can crow " I told you so! You see AA is the only way" if I said "Wow, you're going to AA are you? Well, the success rate is about 8% and over 60% of people drop out in the first year, your addictions must be doing cart wheels, see you down the bar after you've failed! " Well....I would never say something like that, I don't believe AA is for me for a variety of reasons, but that doesn't mean it won't work for you and I fully respect and support your decision. This board is pro recovery and I wish luck and love to everyone struggling here, however you are trying to do it. I would ask for the same respect | reddit_title_body | 25 |
The Great /r/Glocks Giveaway of 2012!!! Please upvote to the top so everyone can see - I receive no karma because this is a self-post. | So we've hit 100+ subscribers, and in a much shorter period of time than I would have guessed (it took /r/Glock 2 years to get 195 readers...). As a special thanks to those of you who have joined me in laying the foundation for /r/Glocks, and as a promotional measure to encourage new content, I am going to host an in-house giveaway for our fledgling subreddit.
The basic idea behind the competition is pretty simple: starting now, and ending on Monday, October 15th at 11:59 pm (EST), the user who has received the most karma for a submitted picture of his/her Glock will be declared the victor and will receive a brand new, official Glock Armorers Tool.
The guidelines:
- The picture **MUST** contain your Reddit username in some way. You could write it on a card and put it in the foreground, or have your Glock sitting in front of your computer with /r/Glocks open in the background, or you could write it in ammo, or stencil it on your slide, or whatever, as long as the image clearly shows that this a picture of your Glock, taken by you, for the purposes of posting on Reddit. **EDIT**: There seems to be some confusion about this rule, so I will do my best to explain it better: I want you to take a *new* picture of your Glock(s) with your username physically *written* somewhere in the shot. You could even load up /r/Glocks on an iPad and use that as a background, as long as /r/Glocks and/or your username is legible.
- You may submit and delete/repost as many times as you would like, as long as each post contains only one picture, and that one picture is unique.
- You may name your submission however you like; you need not specify that the image you are posting is for the giveaway. I will just assume that any picture submitted that follows the guidelines was intended to be recognized as part of the competition.
- I recommend being creative with your image. While it is perfectly acceptable for you to submit a blurry cell-phone picture of your Glock 17 on a picnic table, it will most likely not win you the competition. If you have a rare or specialty Glock, such as an OD frame, Generation 2.5 or C RTF2, I would suggest using that as your submission.
- You must live on the North American continent. I apologize if anyone feels excluded.
- In the unlikely case of a tie in link karma, the post that has the most comment karma within it will be considered the winner. In the even-more-unlikely case of a tie in both link and comment karma, there will be a sudden-death vote-off showdown.
If you have any questions regarding the rules, or have submitted a link that is not showing up, please feel free to send me a PM.
Good luck, and long live /r/Glocks!!

[Build Help] questions about ivy bridge, motherboard, RAM, video card and psu | i am building a computer and i think i am set for most stuff, but i have some questions before i pull the trigger.
the computer i'm building will mainly be for gaming. i have a budget of around 2000, but i don't mind going over. 2500 is the hard ceiling for budget.
i was wondering if i should wait for the ivy bridge processors. should i wait for them? are they coming out next week?
also, should i get one of the z77 mobos even if i don't get the ivy bridges?
for memory, i'd like to get 8 gb with 2 modules. which one would you recommend? i don't mind spending a lot. does the ivy bridge need a specific type of ram?
as for video card, i want to get the gtx 680, but it is hard to find. does anybody know a place to get it? or, should i get a gtx 560 and sli it if i want better graphics? is there something better?
also, is that 4gb gtx680 coming out in the us soon?
with some mobos, the pci 3.0 won't work without an ivy bridge. i'd like the better performance, so should i aim for that?
i would like to get a psu with 750 watts in case i want to sli, but i would also like to get an 80 gold rating for better efficiency. any ideas?
i'd like to get some specific part suggestions. i'll add a parts list for the stuff i think i'm set on later, i'm on an ipad right now. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Can L-DOPA be used to potentiate euphoria in dopaminergenic drugs? | L-DOPA is similar to another chemical drug users are familar with 5-HTP. They're both amino acids that are metabolized in-vivo into neurotransmitters. 5-HTP is taken to ease the comedown from MDMA and to replenish the brain's depleted serotonin, and by itself it can cause a mood increase. L-DOPA is metabolized into dopamine in the body. Can this be used to increase euphoria if administered ~1 hr before taking a dopaminergenic drug such as ampetamine or cocaine? Or is that not the way it works? Thanks for the help. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Why are Pakistani / Indian people so blunt? | There must be some reason aside from just "difference in culture". I'm Canadian, and have a lot of experience with individuals of Pakistani and Indian heritage and they often seem rude because of how blunt they are. I don't just mean rude in the Western sense either, I don't think any culture is fond of being put down. It seems like it's completely okay to tell someone they're to fat/tall/fair/dark/ugly, knowing full well how offensive it is. I've noticed in my close friends who are Pakistani or Indian the bluntness almost manifests as this kind of pessimism where new ideas and experiences are berated. I've heard this stereotype a dozen times, I know I'm not the first to make this claim-when you google "why are pakistani people so..." rude is the first suggestion.
I'm just looking for some kind of reason. Brits are incredible polite, I hear the Hongers have held on to a lot of their customs, why didn't the Indians and Pakistanis? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What was the last careless thing you did? What consequences did it have? | This morning I overslept, I'm supposed to start work at 7am, woke up at 7:10am. It takes me 1.5hrs to get to work so no point in rushing to get to work now, I'm going to be superlate anyway. I am expecting a call from my boss anytime now. This could be a slap-on-the-wrist kinda thing or I could get fired. It's a 50/50 chance. So what was the last careless thing you did and what consequences did it have? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
With at home astrologers having telescopes powerful enough to see other planets, has anyone zoomed in on the surface of the moon? | This may seem like a silly question but with the conspiracy behind the moon landing being faked and the ability for people with their own telescopes being powerful enough to see other planets can you zoom in on the moon and see the landing site? I know nothing about how your telescopes work except for SCIENCE! and a lot of MATH!
EDIT: Thanks to everyone who took me seriously with my questions and answered with such detail and devotion to your passion. I love this sub Reddit because I'm fascinated with Astronomy and seeing what everyone posts is a real treat. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
[WSIG] Anyone here play Talisman? Looking for good dungeon crawler type, 2-4 hr play time | I don't know much about board gaming (aside from typical party games like Cranium and Apples to Apples) but I've been looking into a supplement fantasy style game to play with my D&D group when not all the players can make it but we still want to host a game day. Talisman only came up to me because I saw it on Big Bang Theory and started reading a bit about the game and it looked pretty fun but I don't see many links to it here.
Anyone have a suggestion of a good game to play, 2-6 players or more that combines fantasty style dungeon crawly type aspects? Has anyone played Talisman? Any good or bad thoughts on it? Seems a bit expensive to put down that much.
One thing to note, the gaming group I play with has a good mix of people: some hardcore RPers, some newbies to table top games, and of course there are some that are there just for fun and food and debauchery. Looking forward to tales of happiness or woes | reddit_title_body | 25 |
