Any gay men having problems with nofap?
As a gay, virgin, almost 18 year old, I'm finding this ridiculously hard (no pun intended.) I can't just go out and date/ meet people, since I live at home, and finding good gay guys is impossible in my area. I've previously gone 4 days, at my longest, and been doing a cycle of 4 days off, fap, 4 days off, fap. I want to stay strong, but I feel its too much. Any other gay guys having similar issues?

I feel like such an idiot for believing my ex when she said she wanted to be friends.
At 23 I've never had a lot of friends and only one girlfriend, which was a relationship that only lasted a month. After we broke up she said she wanted to still be friends and be in my life. The only thing that was wrong with our relationship was that we had to do long distance after the initial month and we just weren't happy with it. But before that it was amazing and we both really liked each other and spent a lot of time together enjoying one anothers company. We shared a lot of similar interests and if things were different I think it could have been something. Anyways... After we broke up she said she wanted some space and we both needed it. Now it's been a few months since we've talked and I feel like I would like to get back in touch with her. I thought, what with the holidays coming up, I would get her a little gift. We both bonded over video games so I sent her a game I thought she would like through steam. So I send it. Days pass and it's still sitting in my inventory even though she's on all the time. I notice today it's finally gone but did I get so much as a thank you? No. I get nothing. She said she wanted to be my friend even though things didn't work out. She said she wanted to be my best friend even. What bullshit. I feel like I've been lied to so many times. I fucking feel like such an idiot.

ELI5: How Can Different Versions of a Cable Support Higher Bandwidth, But Look The Same.
This is a couple part question. Cat6 ethernet cable can support greater bandwidth than a Cat5 version of an ethernet cable. Both of those cables look exactly the same, so what is different about them that let one support greater speeds than the other? Another example of this is with HDMI cables. The newer 1.4 version of cables support the necessary bandwidth for a 3D signal, but the older versions don't support that. What is actually different about the multiple versions of the same cables that allow them greater bandwidth but look the same as previous versions of the same cable? The second part of this ELI5 is sort of related to the first question, but it's about USB 3.0. If one end of a USB 3.0 cable looks the same as a USB 2.0, why cant both ends be the same? Why is one end of a USB 3.0 cable the traditional USB, but the other end a new design? Why is the newly designed end of a USB 3.0 necessary if the other end is the traditional USB, couldn't both ends have been the tradition USB style?

(Spoilers All) The Question of the Dragonglass Cache
Hi all-- I've read the books and read the theories but am still hung up on the finding of the dragonglass cache. Does anyone have any further information on who hid the dragonglass cache north of the wall, how it got there and where it came from? I think if we had those answers we could make further speculation on many things. WHO - Presumably someone that has traveled north of the wall that had access to a Night Watch cloak HOW - Presume it was brought up from the south by someone to the north? WHERE - Dragonglass was found in valria and also at dragonstone. Is the horn from valryia? Any thoughts? I guess we could also use answers to the "why" it was buried up there. Was it for defense from others and wights? It was freshly buried correct? Any insight is appreciated.

My mum is a gluten allergic, but gluten free food is horrifically expensive in dk. Anyone know of any good sites where you can buy decent priced gluten free food?
I posted this is in /r/lifeprotips, they told me about this sub, so here goes. I'm just asking about things like special flour, lasagna plates, some kinds of bread (she bakes and makes a lot of food herself, but sometimes i think it'd be nice with a break for her) uhm, most dry food that is difficult to make yourself really. Just a website or something. Any ideas would be appreciated. We live in Denmark, so european sites or shops are probably best. As an example of the huge price difference, a package of lasagna plates. Gluten free: 45kr (USD: 8, EUR: 6, GBP: 5) for 200grams. Not gluten free: 10kr (USD: 1,7, EUR: 1,3, GBP: 1 ) for 400grams. It's silly and honestly almost breaking my parents budget. *Edit* Thanks for the replies, all very helpful :)

Anyone done DIY puppy vaccinations?
My husband and I are possibly moving into a house soon, so we might be able to get a dog! I've been reading about training methods for the last couple years in preparation for the day when we could have a furry friend in our home, but now I'm starting to read up on the finer points. I've been thinking about money-saving strategies, and I know it's possible to get vaccinations from some stores and administer them to the puppy yourself. Has anyone done this? We definitely have enough money to have the Humane Society or someone else do it if DIYing it isn't safe/a good idea. EDIT: It seems I didn't phrase my question correctly. I am more just curious about the benefits of doing the shots on your own vs. going to a vet. If it turned out to be really easy/safe, and I just hadn't heard about it that much, then I would probably give it a shot. However, as it seems most of you are saying it's possibly dangerous because of questionable vaccine quality/lack of experience on my part, it's totally out of the question. We have waited a couple years to get a dog because we haven't been financially stable (in school) and we have been living in apartments. Now we have the opportunity to move into a house with a big fenced-in yard in a safe neighborhood, and I have a secure job and no kids. I have a lot of time to take care of and train a puppy, we have money for emergencies, and we have a place where the puppy will be safe. Again, I wasn't seriously considering doing the shots myself because I can't afford to take the dog to a professional; I can afford it, I was just looking for more information on this topic.

Is there an easy way to move a WIX flash/html5 website to Wordpress?
So my buddy has designed a really cool website through WIX, which is basically a flash/html5 drag-and-drop sort of set-up. Well now he wants to have a profile/community incorporated into the website and that just isn't possible on the WIX platform. He owns the domain name, but has no access to the websites files. Such as template files, stylesheets, etc. So is there an easy way to move this website to WordPress and keep it pretty much the same for the most part? My only idea was to take a screen shot of the pages, and use a photo-mapping software to create the links, but that seems kind of like cheating to me. I'm self taught at web-design, which means I know a little bit of everything, but I'm not an expert in any certain part. Any help or advice if much appreciated. His website is HERE -password is '255'

Surrendering at 10 minutes
So Hotshot just brought up the idea that "you should be able to surrender at 10 minutes", mainly due to the fact that his last few games had been less than inspirational. Considering games can be "over" long before 20 minutes, how would you feel about the implementation of an earlier surrender time? So I was just wondering, how many people would like the idea of being able to surrender at 10 minutes? Why or why not? Personally I think that it's slightly too early to surrender for most games considering almost all solo queue games (and normals) can be recovered from just about any deficit. tl;dr - 10 min surrender, yes or no? Why or why not?

Irresistible urge to move whole body during some sort of meditation
Hi, I'm not doing any particular type of meditation, but before I fall asleep I try to slow down my breathing, stop moving and try to concentrate on one thought (visualizing numbers from 1 to 100; if I notice that my mind has wandered somewhere else I start over again from last number which I remember still being conscious about). The thing is that after 10 minutes or so my whole body starts to ache, itch. I just get this very unpleasant feeling which urges me to move my whole body. And after I do move (roll on my side) I get this huge sense of relief and fall asleep in a matter of minutes. Is this ok? Have any of you experienced something like this?

Outside of Rio, I only know the coast of São Paulo and Belém (which technically is not on the coast), but in terms of capitals I get the feeling that I'd love any coastal capital in Brazil. Beaches, hiking, nightlife, local culture, nearby places of interest. To me, these are what make Rio great therefore I think Natal, Recife, Fortaleza, Salvador and Floripa would all be great, too. Agreed or does Rio have something that I'm not seeing which makes it quite unique? (I'm kind of joking on this point since I know Rio pretty well but in terms of the basics, I think many cities qualify)

Multiple Commands per Command Block using double semi-colons.
Say you want to make a very compact class-making system, you could use ';;' between commands to make the block do both of the commands, so you aren't limited to one command per block. Example of this is: (give @p 1 64;; give @p 2 64) And you'd get 64 Stone, and 64 Grass, using only one block.

Smoking Tricks? Tips? Local slang, nicknames or signs. What are some unique or common things about you now about marijuana and its practices.
Ill StaRT: Great weed: Headies, Kind, Dank, Stank. Decent weed: Outs, beast/beasties/beasters. Shitty weed: Shwag, mexican piss, dirt, brown. When you reservse a blunt and blow smoke into someone elses mouth: Shotgunning. Shotgunning can also be done out of the barrel of a shotgun. If you own one i recommend trying this but make sure its unloaded, cocked the barrel, place the blunt in the bullet feed and blow until you fill the shot gun. The second person then clears the barrel Iron Lung: Me and mi friends used these all the time when we were in highschool and didnt have much of the green. Its basically a trash bag with a closable spout that you blow the smoke into so you can take the hit twice and get all the THC My highschool used to call weed Goofy Boots until the teachers caught on, i still use that term. We also used to make one hand into a fist and pat it with the other open hand, kinda like when you cover paper over rock in rock papper scissors. That meant lets pack a bowl. When you hit a joint until the paper is totally gone: supermanning When the weed is still glowing and you dont need to use a lighter: Cherried Hitting a home run: Clear the bong in one rip. Striking out: Do a shot, homerun a bong then chug a beer There are more but im high so you guys tell me some!

Mojang: Ruining the PVP and Hardcore Community with Every Update!
I play on a hardcore PVP server, and I have to say that the most recent updates to this game by Mojang have been absolutely terrible. The game has been directed towards none other than pure single player, and it is disgusting. The reduction of enchanting from lvl 50 to lvl 30 is one of the most ridiculous implementations thus far. "Instead of having to wait until lvl 50 for a nearly perfect chance of getting a good enchant, you can waste 5x as much diamond enchanting at level 30!" Congrats, mojang. You have reduced the amount of time it takes to get to the max level- but now we have to do it several times, over and over again, to get a good enchant. This is a terrible update. Reducing mob grinding is going to ruin this game. If you are too lazy to build a grinder, then you don't deserve enchanted gear. Bottom line. Invisibility potions are on the same level of fail, allowing people to follow one another to bases and gain an extremely unfair advantage in pvp. Don't even get me started on the wither potions or the bullshit pyramids that are also planned to be added in 1.4 Mojang: Instead of adding a bunch of useless, single-player orientated garbage items to the game, how about you fix the atrocious lag and horrific bugs associated with this game? You guys are ruining online multiplayer, and I can't imagine you will release many more of these god-awful patches before the community of my server is ruined forever.

I'm the new president of my university's Racquetball Club. Need some help.
So 2 semesters ago I got elected to be the president of my university's racquetball club, so this ending semester (Fall 2011) was my first semester in charge and things didn't quite go as I planned. One of my biggest problems was that the strongest chunk of our club graduated and left the club with less people and much less talent. As I tried to recruit people for the club I would get many interested but few would actually join the club after a few practices. I was left with 16 consistent players (some come and go as they wish but I'm not allowed to get rid of them), which is a good number given the amount of courts we have but there is a lack in motivation for the players to improve. We are part of a colligate racquetball league and are nowhere near our competition. What are some tips that could help me improve the players and the club as a whole? Some notes: We do have funding for the club but we are not allow to pay coaches. We currently don't have a coach. We have three two hour practices each week. Thanks!

Hi there. I'm An American. Dont get me wrong, I love my country, but I think Iceland is pretty dope too. In fact I'm learning the language out of just sheer fun.

Girlfriend [26] is grieving over childhood friend in ICU, how can I comfort her?
Together 2 years. I'm 31. My girlfriend [26] has two childhood friends with whom she is very close. A few days ago one of those friends was in a car accident and has since been in a coma in an ICU. From what the doctor said it is likely that she will have permanently reduced cognitive function. An MRI will was performed tonight and tomorrow the doctor will have a better idea of her projected mental state at that point. Aside from the head trauma, she is relatively okay physically. My girlfriend is taking this very hard, and I'm not sure what I can do to help. I am afraid of what might happen if the doctor has really bad news. I worry that she is heading towards some type of crisis of her own. She is spending a significant amount of time at the hospital. Her other friend is there sometimes as well. She sits in the hospital room and reads out loud or plays music for her friend. When she comes home she spends her time looking through old Facebook posts, pictures, and going through her old journals. She's not sleeping very much and when she does come to bed she lays down and sobs uncontrollably. Often during the night she wakes me up and asks me to hold her while she cries, which I do. Sometimes she tries to be strong emotionally and sometimes when I interact with her she is distant and forgetful about things. She stares off into the distance with a glazed look in her eyes and when I attempt to interact with her sometimes she looks as if her eyes have trouble focusing and comprehending what she is looking at. She says she feels like she's living in a surreal world. Are these signs of normal grief? What more can I do to comfort her? I go with her to the hospital when I can which is not often enough because of my work schedule. I tell her try to be hopeful and offer other words of encouragement but I don't think that helps. I tell her I love her and try to show her the same as much as I can. What else can I do? TL;DR - GF is grieving friend in ICU with head injury who likely will never be the same person. How can I comfort her?

Why do rockets carry all their "thrust production" on-board? Why isn't some of the thrust provided by an "external source" (e.g., a catapult-type system)?
Weight is supposed to be a big problem for rocket launches, so why is all of a rocket's thrust provided by something which it also has to carry? On aircraft carriers, aircraft are catapulted off the deck because the deck is too short. Couldn't some kind of "catapult"-type system be used for rockets? Are there methods like this that we could hypothetically use that are just too cost-prohibitive compared to conventional rockets? Finally, I remember when I was a kid reading about using some kind of "gauss rifle"-type system for shooting rockets into space using sequential electromagnets. Is this completely absurd? EDIT: To clarify, I'm not suggesting a rocket that had *no* on-board propulsion, just one where *some* of the thrust is provided by a ground-based "launcher."

Personally I'd love to see the Coyotes face off against the Red Wings once more. The rivalry has been built up over the last two playoffs and I'd love to see the coyotes get some revenge. I'm pretty sure this is possible as long as Chicago beats Detroit in regulation during their last game and Phoenix holds their division lead. This would put Detroit in 6th (Chicago wins the tiebreaker which is head-to-head wins) and Coyotes retain the 3rd spot.

Small automatic as upgrade from Easy Reader(<$200)?
Been interested in getting a nice watch for a while, got an easy reader two months ago and I love wearing it. I like the simple watch face, but it seems a bit flimsy and I don't like the jerky quartz movement. I'm looking for a classy-looking replacement for the Easy Reader that would last me a while. As much quality and longevity as that budget will get me, I guess. My wrists are JUST 6", so I'm looking for something small. The Easy Reader, which is a fairly small watch, [is an okay fit for me] ( I could definitely go a bit bigger, though. Don't know for sure, but thinking of something around 40mm max? I was thinking of getting an Orient Mako, but I don't know whether I would like to wear a dive watch around on a regular basis. I can try to get a better picture of the easy reader on my wrist, if it would help. Looks I like: Seagull 1963 Parnis Complications look nice, but I'm undecided on which ones I would like specifically. I like silver over gold. Would prefer something that could take NATO well. Willing to go handwind or vintage. Bonus points for exhibition back, not quite sure on whether I would like open heart or not. Edit: I've been eyeing some old Vostoks. Reddit's opinion?

Weight progression scheme for a split.
Hello Weightit! After doing starting strength and then madcow, I am going to switch over to a 4-day split in an effort to get some hypertrophy. Since SS and madcow are very clear about how/when to increase weight, I am wondering if there are good progression schemes for increasing the weight for a standard split. Since the reps will be higher, 8-12, and the weight will be relatively small for many of the isolation exercises, it seems going up every week would not be feasible. Would something like the following be a good progression: progress as 3x8, 3x10, 3x12 then do 3x8 at a small e.g. 5lb increase and so forth. Is something like this sustainable? I'd really like to have a planned progression since it really forces me to push myself. If it helps, my current 5rm are 165, 225, 270 (bench, squat, deadlift). EDIT: The routine I plan on doing is:

Bare with me, I understand the that the nominative singular adjective should match the nominative singular noun. What I don't understand, or am putting too much thought into is noun adjective agreement among words from the later chapters. If a word on its on has one ending in a certain declension, do I make the adjective follow the same declension, or just the same case and number.

Psycho Rangers: Indonesian Horror Is Alive And Well.
**23:59** **Trailer:** I'm a big fan of SW Asian horror and a friend of mine directed to me to this Singaporean movie. 23:59 is about an army regiment haunted by an evil presence and it's up to one of the soldiers, who happens to be a medium must solve the mystery or else their C.O. will die. It's an alright movie. It does have a major cliche it follows, but the characters and the story gets it over that hump. I think the major flaw of this movie is that it's way too short. There were areas that could have been expanded and flesh out the story. But it's Indonesia. They got to work with what they got. Solid film. **Stream:** none **DVD/Blu:** YesAsia has a decent copy available.

what the hell did I just find in my menstrual cup?! (nsfw)
Sorry for posting this, I know it's gross and no one wants to see it, but I'm really freaking out. I went to change my cup today and it had this in it: pics like a baby bird that hasn't formed yet. It was about the size of a dollar. What hell is it? Is it just menstrual lining or could it possibly be...a miscarriage? I'm on the pill, I was starting a second pack without a break for my period due to timing issues, then I started spotting quite badly. I knew that I was going to have a period anyway so I decided to stop the pill for that week and restart it in seven days, so I was on it for five weeks not four or eight. I've been having really bad cramps- so bad that I wake up multiple times in the night, crying with pain, and that's after taking painkillers constantly. Anyone with words of wisdom? Apart from kill it with fire...which is my first reaction. ETA: this is why I love TwoX. Thank you for the wisdom and the horror/fascination. I think I will take a pregnancy test in the morning, because it if was a miscarriage I should still test positive, right? And then I will go to the doctor.

Girlfriend's Church group actively tried to encourage people to boycott because of support of Gay charities. What would your reaction be to the situation?
From what I have gathered from r/athiesm, it seems like the Christian community in America is very homophobic. I can say from first hand experience that members of the faith here in Britain can also be very homophoobic too. My girfriend's Evangelical Christian group sent out letters and leaflets to promote a boycott of our local supermarket (Tesco, if you're interested), encouraging people to shun their services because they had shifted their charitable support from a breast cancer charity to a Gay Pride charity. I read one of the letters thay sent out (I haven't got a copy to scan in and link, my apologies), and it seemed very forceful. Is this a general Chritian reaction to such a situation? Is there a degree of disgust against homosexuals amongst followers? Tesco boycott article

Do you miss the comfort a newer vehicle with modern technology provides? Have you made any modifications to you classic to make it more drivable?

Maths! B.F Sword vs Crit Cloak + Pickaxe
So I was browsing the official forums when I came across a thread about pickaxe vs. crit cloak. Then I thought about how gold efficient a B.F sword really was when compared to the similarly priced Crit Cloak + Pickaxe combo; long story short I did some maths and had rather surprising results! So the AD gained from a B.F is a flat 45 AD gained. We can use that and compare it at different amounts of AD from the Crit Cloak + Pick combo. Because the pick adds a flat 25 and the crit cloak adds an average AD of 0.36/AD I deduced the formula "Y = (X+25)*0.36" where Y is the AD gained & X is the AD before purchase. To determine when it became more efficient to buy the Crit Cloak + Pickaxe I solved for X when Y was 45 and found that when your AD was exactly 100 you would gain 45 effective AD/AA. That means that **if you have more than 100 AD then it's better to have a Crit Cloak and Pickaxe than a BF sword** if your skills don't scale off AD. Depending on how many Doran's blades you've bought if you have 120 AD then you'll get 52.2 effective AD per AA. Just something to think about next time you're playing Kog'Maw.

My choices are, however, restricted to what I can buy from easy to access bottle shops, which means LiquorLand]( and [First Choice. I personally quite enjoy Bourbon (Although not Jim or Makers), but some of my guests will be Neophytes. Which^3 high quality Bourbon should I try in order to get maximum Old Fashioned ability? **1** Take a Rocks glass and add a tablespoon of simple syrup and a couple of dashes of bitters. Fill to the top with ice, then pour over a jigger of Bourbon. Stir until mixed and apply as balm to your soul, orally. **2** I understand high quality does not have to mean Expensive **3** I am already going to have Woodford Reserve and NOT have Makers Mark.

Good guy Christian Jimmy Carter knows how to keep his faith and leave others alone.
Just read an interview with former US president Jimmy Carter and was impressed with some of his live-and-let-live points, as well as his common sense: 1. He's a trained nuclear physicist, and does not try to undermine scientific discovery. Believes god created the universe, but doesn't refute proven scientific evidence. It looks to me like he feels like figuring out where god fits in the universe is his problem -- not science's problem for showing where he isn't. 2. Believes there's nothing wrong with homosexuality or gay marriage (as a civil ceremony). Says Jesus never mentioned it, and it was well known of at the time. Only believes that each congregation themselves establish whether they perform the ceremonies or not according to their tenets. What a great compromise. What right does any religion have to influence the policies that govern, and what right does the government have to influence the tenets of religion (within reason -- human sacrifice is still a no-no)? 3. Takes "judge not lest ye be judged" seriously. Denounces those who believe they are closer to god than others. Another home run. To me it seems he feels it is more noble for him to follow the tenets his faith, rather than telling other people how they're failing at them. I love how this guy keeps his personal faith personal. It clearly does wonders for him, and I couldn't be happier for him. He has his way I have mine, but I learned something from his example. There are many roads to being a good person. Good work Mr. President! Hope the liver is getting better. Interview for reference:

Landlord and Money issue...need some advice.
So I live in a house right now, there's NO Lease (month to month), it's fairly cheap, and a couple of my roommates just moved out, leaving us with the payment. Which is fine because the Landlord in the past has kept rent the same even though he wasn't meeting his minimum mortgage payment. However: Now that he has LOST HIS JOB (yeah...), he is making my other roommate (his son) and I almost DOUBLE our payment so that we can meet the mortgage payment. Here's the thing though: I brought a couple different people into the house to make rent 'cheaper', but when they moved in, rent stayed the same. So now that they have moved OUT, it would stand to reason that rent would also stay the same, but just because the Landlord no longer has a job, he demands more money which is completely illogical. This however, is not my question; I'm just typing this to show you this man's logic (or, yes, lack thereof). My real dilemma is this::: He has been a terrible Landlord. Our front door is broken, our heat has been broken all winter, our air conditioner has the intellect of a crash test dummy, the water heater is bipolar (sometimes hot sometimes cold showers!), and he obviously has not fixed any of it. And when he DOES stop by, he takes things, like the dish rack and furniture. He's a real unprofessional guy. And NOW I found out the house is being foreclosed and I have to move out by the end of April...and guess how we found this out? By a piece of mail from the bank sent to a DIFFERENT house (co-owners or something. I don't know the direct relation but the point is that we wouldn't even have known about the foreclosure!). I've tried to contact my Landlord and his phone is 'out of service,' so he has not even let us know this! SUPER stressful situation, and if it wasn't for the bank sending the OTHER address some mail saying "Hey, pay or get out" then I would have people legally breaking into my house and takin meh stuffz. Not cool. So, because of all this...What do I do about rent? Do I pay him my normal amount? Or do you think that because of this situation I should actually just tell him "uh yeah no" on rent? I feel like there are arguments to be made for both sides but I'm kind of torn on what to do. So this is why I come to you! [Suffice it to say, I'm glad I'm moving out.] TL;DR - Horrible Landlord who demands MORE money for rent but now house is being foreclosed and he didnt even let us know, SO; should I pay him, or tell him 'tough luck!' [as I move out of course]? Still TL;DR - Come back to reddit when you graduate the 3rd (third) grade.

Is it gay to participate in a gang bang with 5 men using 1 woman?
I have been invited to participate in a gang bang, of the sort you might see in a variety of pornography videos. Apparently this very slutty woman has always wanted to try this sort of thing, so her and her "sex buddy" are arranging it for her. I am friends with one of the guys invited, and he in turn has invited me. Now, I have to admit I do enjoy viewing this sort of pornography and the idea of participating in this does turn me on, but it also occurs to me that in addition to the naked slutty woman there will be other naked men there and their erect penis' will in close proximity to my own erect penis, and I will probably witness most of them ejaculate. With a crowd like that working on one person, I also have to admit the probability of accidental contact with other penis'. It is worrying me that being that sexual with and near other men can be construed as gay, even though we are all fucking the same woman. Reddit what do you think?

Why is it so hard to disconnect from Facebook?
I am finding that more often than not I am really just sick of Facebook. It is simply just friends, family, and acquaintances posting garbage about their lives or insight into their views and opinions. I feel like it's really just a popularity contest and a lot of what is posted is just bogus bullshit made up for attention. Or at least many truths are stretched or fabricated to receive that attention. So why am I finding it so hard to just say fuck it and quit? My main reason for staying is because it is a way to stay in touch with friends and family that live 2500+ miles away from me. I have a young child and another on the way, a husband deployed, and no close friends here. A lot of times (like today for instance) I'd love to just pack up a little with my son and drive away for a few days and never look back. But above all I wish i had the will power to say fuck social media. So why is it so damn difficult?! Why do I have such a strong urge to continuously check Facebook and then get annoyed and log off? It's like I can't stop wanting to check. Has anyone else ever felt like this?! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

The father could only save one of the children, so he saves the one and assumes the other dies. but then hey meet up again years later and it turns out the one who the father didnt save was rescued by some strangers or something. this is really bothering me, i would love to know where this memory is coming from !

Trouble with Razor Revamp by Razor Emporium
About 2 months ago, I sent a Gillette Fatboy in for restoration by Razor Emporium and it arrived today, much to my excitement. I had heard great things about the Revamp process and as a result was expecting great things to happen to my razor. Not so:S Although overall the razor looked nice and shiny (I had it plated in nickel), I couldn't help but notice that there were some significant flaws to the work that had been done. The edge of one of the silo doors had brassing, as did the ring at the bottom of the razor. There was soap scum on the end caps and the edges of the razor tray also had plating wear. EDIT: I just spoke to the store manager and she's agreed to redo all the work, free of charge of course. During our conversation I enquired whether, rather than replating it in Nickel, she might be willing to replate it in Rhodium and whether she would give me a quote to have that done. She volunteered to do it free of charge and apologised for everything that had happened. If all goes well, I'll be more than satisfied! EDIT 2: u/almightywhacko requested some pictures so I thought I'd include them here as well: EDIT 3: Formatting to reflect final outcome of the appeal to razor emporium.

These fucking people are kicking us out and the reason (straight from their lawyer) is that the apartment we live in, that we completely remodeled under contract with the last owner, they want to move from California into this apartment. These people agreed to everything in our lease that we just signed and is good until April of 2013, then told us to gtfo. We have gone as far as talking to the District Justice in our town about this and she is saying that they have the right to do this. So we must leave...and we are pissed.

Made the device feel nicer and softer to the touch and provided a grippier experience. As someone who detests bulking up a phone with a case, is there anything out there yet that would be like an adhesive leather backing? If not, any possible DIY options?

Two Person Tent Suggestions for a Thru-Hike
My wife (5'3" 120lbs) and I (5'10" 150lbs) are set on doing a NoBo thru-hike next year. We are looking at different tent options and seeking your opinion. I've read a lot of thru-hinking tent info, but haven't found much on two person set ups. seem like a wonderful option because of the weight. I had no idea they existed until a comment here on r/AT enlightened me. Their Double Rainbow design stands out (41 oz, $275), but I don't know their product line nor east coast anything. Please voice your opinion on Tarptents and share other thru-hike worthy options. PS. I am fully in support of the idea to 'rock what you've already got' but our tent recently broke in the Patagonia winds.

What is the scientific field for being able to control things that happen to your body that we can't control consciously?
In more detail.. there are people who have a lot of control over their body. I know one person who is able to decide where their next pimple will be, who can control their erection, can lucid dream all the time, etc. I want to study these sorts of thing but I don't know what it's called! I'm not talking about placebo effects.

Please help me update this old budget 9-land stompy :)!
I've been out of the Magic scene for awhile, and I'm trying to get back into it on a budget. I have this older, 9-land stompy deck, but I'm wondering if there are new cards I should update it with (I don't know the new ones!). I think this deck was Legacy legal when I used it, and it still may be. If it still is legacy legal, I'd like to keep it legacy legal, but feel free to suggest anything! Any changes/additions/suggestions are welcome :), and I don't currently have a sideboard, so any additions could be part of the sideboard if the deck itself is still good! Thanks for the help :D! My current deck is listed below: - 9 forest - 4 rogue elephant - 4 harvest wurm - 3 quirion ranger - 4 river boa - 2 fallow wurm - 3 wild dogs - 2 ghazban ogre - 3 skyshroud elite - 4 vine dryad - 4 winter orb - 4 land grant - 4 elvish spirit guide - 4 rancor - 3 briar shield - 3 bounty of the hunt

Weightloss in the workplace. Should I go for a call center or standing in retail?
I've been going back and forth on this for the last month. I have to lose almost 300 lbs and I started a month ago and can't decide what types of jobs to continue to apply to. Obviously most people will say you should get a job where you walk or stand 100% of the time to burn extra calories. But I wanted to ask people who understand my situation.. If I stand for more than 10 minutes my entire body slowly becomes an entire sweaty pool. So what do you reccomend? Soul crushing job that I don't sweat/smell/worry about my weight? Or a retail job that will force me to walk more but I'll have to combat my nearly 500 lb size? Thanks

Curiousity: For those stockpiling grains and legumes, do you have mold humidity issues in your home?
I can't eat most grains and don't eat legumes much, but they used to be a large part of my diet. At least two meals a day used to come from dried legumes or grains. I usually had mold issues in my house, but haven't had issues after. In hindsight, I realize all the steam permeated everything and maintained high humidity in the house. Question 1: Do you have mold issues or has the humidity issue been a consideration? Question 2: Do you have a plan for getting the amount of water and fuel necessary to make the food edible? Question 3: Do you also stockpile salt? Salt is necessary for healthy brain and nerve function, and is depleted by legumes and any other diuretics. My food goals are different, so am just asking out of curiosity. edit: I think I should have stated the first question better. I meant do you have mold issues with the moisture from the steam? I live in a place that is humid year round.
