Wow, hi, are you me? Because everything you just wrote sounds almost exactly like my relationship with my mother! I'm also lucky to have a dad who cares enough to at least notice some of this after I moved out of the house. I would definitely talk to your father in private about what's been going on and about how this is driving you crazy. He doesn't know the full extent, well then, you need to tell him what's really going on. He can't help you if you don't tell him, and you're not going to be able to help yourself if you're on your own in this. You need other people to support you or your mom won't believe it. If you can get others on your side, she will probably lash out, but it may also force her to come to terms with certain aspects of your relationship that she refused to even acknowledge before. I moved away from home when I left for college and it sort of became a mix of flooded emotions or just the cold shoulder, along with some, "I'm doing everything right, it's DAUGHTER who has the problem." She's probably got a lot of issues from the way she was raised (how my mom is) and doesn't know how to connect emotionally. There's not a lot you can do about this, and that's the truth. She's now so firmly planted in her life at age 51 that you can't really hope to change much of that. But what you can do is make it clear how you feel and that she needs to step back a degree. Things between myself and my mom aren't great, but after I had a long conversation with my dad, mysteriously, my mom stopped picking on me as much. Spouses can have a LOT of influence, and especially when one parent is acting irrationally, they may not view you as an adult or take your emotional needs seriously. Your mom probably still views you as a child. She needs someone "equal" to her to tell her what's going on and that she needs to lay off. It's unfortunate, but there are a lot of people who have to deal with this sort of shitty relationship with one or both of their parents. Live your life as best you can where you are, but you need to straighten things out with your dad and explain what's going on when you go home. If things don't get any better within a few months, then...you may have to just tell your dad, "Look, I can't come home anymore. This is killing me inside, but I can't jeopardize my emotional well-being just for mom to ride and nitpick me about every little thing. I need space." And then don't visit for a while. **TL;DR**: Talk to your dad in private and see how he can help you.

No, not at all. Since new drones aren't (really, weren't) assimilated in the millions, the preexisting loyal drones simply drowned out thoughts of resistance in the new drones. Working backwards, we see that the Borg probably started out as a group of willing drones that assimilated greater and greater numbers if new drones. Since the new drones are unused to the massive neural input (which they only survive thanks to new inplants), they can't formulate any kind of 'mental resistance' to the process, so they simply respond to the overwhelmingly dominant existing impulse in the hive: to assimilate more and more technology/species. ###(Read on only if you want exhaustive detail.) And, First Contact, and (in particular) Voyager back up what you're talking about. Enterprise: Regeneration does, too. In Voyager, it is discovered that glitches in the assimilation process are allowing about one in a million drones to enter a digital simulation called 'Unimatrix Zero' (no correspondence to actual location) during regeneration. This virtual reality allows drones to exist individually (during regeneration, at least), and the primary Collective has been attempting to stamp it out. With the help of Voyager, many Borg vessels are commandeered by the UZ-connected individual 'drones' and launch an internal rebellion, exactly what you proposed would happen. In First Contact, the role of the Borg Queen is expanded upon. She provides a primary impulse (or group thereof) which serves to direct the Borg to their goal (obviously, assimilation). This is how she can claim to 'be' the Borg; by being the central driving impulse that chooses a purpose for them. Also, take the formation of the Collective on the Enterprise. (This is also my explanation for how the Unimatrix Zero folks managed to commandeer full-sized Borg vessels; they provided conflicting individual goals that the other drones, being conscripts, of course, proved susceptible to. This means that the Borg Queen of Voyager was going about addressing this division in the best possible way; by destroying the ships outright before a majority of drones would surrender to the influence of the new ideas about how they should proceed.) It starts with individual, covert conversion of crew members (in the all-too-convenient Jefferies tubes). These individuals would be targeted ahead of any large groups. Say, you have only one drone. It's loyalty is unquestionable, but it's stranded in the Enterprise Jefferies tubes. What's it to do? It sure is not going to march into Engineering, that would be both stupid and fatal. It would hang out in the Jefferies tubes and mess with minor environmental settings, luring crew to fix it. One drone, one human. The drone undoubtedly overpowers and gains the support of whoever was just unlucky enough to fall into its trap. I for one, doubt strongly that only a single drone was spared destruction on the Sphere. If there are thousands aboard, surely a few dozen would not have registered a significant change in the power of the single life reading, and the Enterprise-E, while admittedly even smaller than the D, is quite a large ship. This sort of thing happened in Enterprise, when the two revived drones begin by overpowering the research team (who are justifiably terrified and unable to react appropriately), and then capturing a shuttle and going for help. These two gents were from the 24th century, they had had no contingency for the failure of the Sphere, so when they got lucky enough to have humans pull them out voluntarily, they assimilated them, grabbed the best piece of space-faring equipment they could, and set out for home. ###TLDR: Every single drone simply cannot handle the sheer number of other drones and surrenders to the strongest coherent authority it can sense, typically, the Borg Queen.

Engi B so far has been an issue for me, that and unlocking the B type of Rock and Stealth... I'm sure I'm just unlucky with the Stealth ship (3/3 tries I've had unavoidable environmental danger, and for some reason the phase 3 power surge cloak dodging didn't trigger the achievement, do you have to have your shields down?) and Rock ship seems equally luck based (either getting the right equipment and/or game events). But holy shit Engi B is so damn hard, I don't know, maybe I've just been unlucky with that too but I feel so behind with only 1 crew from the start, having to avoid any events that threaten any crew and save scrap to spend on crew asap, not to mention the lackluster other load out. I've managed to win on all other A and B type ships going for the alternate way to unlock the crystal ship. This is all, however, on easy. The 2-3 times I've tried normal I don't think I even made it out of the third or fourth sector. So really advice for ANY ships is great. **TL;DR:** Engi B, Rock A and/or your favourite and/or strongest ships would be great. Just some general tips on how you handle events or ships high shields and/or missiles which always seem to rip me apart.

Yeah, the star wars universe is one of the most populated universes there is. In terms of shear scale, star wars beats mass effect out of the park. Each geth platform would have to kill something like 100,000 to a million droids. Even the clone troopers, at the height of sabotage programs, technological superiority, and combat perfection, could only take 1 to 1000 odds. On top of that, the rate of production of droids is ridiculous. If each army was allowed to make new soldiers over time, the droid army could reach 10 to 20 quadrillion. The star wars universe version of FTL-hyperspace is much more powerful than mass effects. The nature of the mass effect field severely limits ship sizes, armor and weaponry, while in Star Wars factions build things like the death star. Because of this, even assuming technological power parity, the CIS ships could crush geth versions. Combat in mass-effect is slower than in star wars because the weapons are so far behind the armor in mass effect. All indications point to the fact that weapons in star wars are just too powerful for armor, so the geth would also be at a loss on foot. The geth are also experts at guerrilla tactics, but they rely heavily on the Perseus veil(a nebula) in order to do so. Guerrilla tactics would prove even less effective against force using agents like Ventress and Dooku. Agents for the droid army like Jango Fett would prove just as deadly to the geth as someone like Commander Shepard, and on top of that, droids in the star wars universe are sentient already! Well programmed versions are just as deadly as any geth. In the end it comes down to a minor power in a galaxy that gets wiped clean of progress every 50,000 years that is currently balancing economics and defense vs half a unified galaxy with much longer to develop, and not pre-sterilized, in the midst of total war. A more fair fight would be the (pick one-ranked in terms of power: new republic/empire/old republic/confederacy) vs the reapers. tldr: 20,000,000,000,000,000 Droids with superior commanding, infiltrating, and star-ships vs less than 1,000,000,000 geth who have a very slight combat advantage on the ground.

Yeah, the star wars universe is one of the most populated universes there is. In terms of shear scale, star wars beats mass effect out of the park. Each geth platform would have to kill something like 100,000 to a million droids. Even the clone troopers, at the height of sabotage programs, technological superiority, and combat perfection, could only take 1 to 1000 odds. On top of that, the rate of production of droids is ridiculous. If each army was allowed to make new soldiers over time, the droid army could reach 10 to 20 quadrillion. The star wars universe version of FTL-hyperspace is much more powerful than mass effects. The nature of the mass effect field severely limits ship sizes, armor and weaponry, while in Star Wars factions build things like the death star. Because of this, even assuming technological power parity, the CIS ships could crush geth versions. Combat in mass-effect is slower than in star wars because the weapons are so far behind the armor in mass effect. All indications point to the fact that weapons in star wars are just too powerful for armor, so the geth would also be at a loss on foot. The geth are also experts at guerrilla tactics, but they rely heavily on the Perseus veil(a nebula) in order to do so. Guerrilla tactics would prove even less effective against force using agents like Ventress and Dooku. Agents for the droid army like Jango Fett would prove just as deadly to the geth as someone like Commander Shepard, and on top of that, droids in the star wars universe are sentient already! Well programmed versions are just as deadly as any geth.

The women in my mother's family have some genetic issue where, around 85 years old, they start to hear music when there is none. It's one song, over and over again, as if they are physically hearing it. My grandmother's doctor said it's probably just some neuron that starts misfiring as you get older. In any case, all of the women in my family put a lot of thought into what songs would be the best or worst to hear. My great-grandmother heard 'Old Swanee River' and once called the police because she thought the kids next door were blasting it from their stereo. My grandmother claimed the senior center she lived in was piping it into her apartment. We were sitting in my mom's car in total silence once, then she looks at the radio (which was off) and says, "This is the song they pipe into my apartment. It's very pleasant, but how many times can you listen to 'God Bless America'?" Cue 15-year-old me dying of laughter in the back seat. After years of contemplation, I have decided that the James Bond theme would be the best song to have in my head. I imagine myself, a shrunken, dotty little old lady making my way to bingo with my walker, all the while hearing dramatic spy music. Everything would be so much more epic. tl;dr: This might actually happen to me, and I hope it's the James Bond theme.

It depends, there are often games with traditional lanes where nothing happens for 10-15-20 minutes, this was normal in season 2, and still happens now when normal lanes can be found. I feel the bigger problem is that all the things people "want" from standard lanes, are things you see in streams, not LCS matches. The problem is that fundamentally you don't get to watch Rush Hour even if you do get normal lanes in CLG vs TSM. The LCS camera man is always looking for action which means he follows the jungler and mid most of the time. Most of the trades etc that make standard lanes interesting are missed in an LCS stream anyways, the camera scrambling to bottom to catch the end of a 2v2 and replays are the best that you are going to get. And even then without the context of the previous trades and lane dynamics the actual fight just looks like, Hook, into Chompers into death etc. I love watching in Aphro and Dlift duo Q and stream, but it is NOTHING like watching an LCS game where CLG gets a 2v2, at least for me as a spectator. 2v1's IMO open up tons of options and picks, strategy etc. 2v1 only punishes people who are bad at it, or teams that bring 2 solo lanes who Both get fucked in a 2v1, and even then, that just puts pressure on the team with the 2 solo lanes who can't 2v1 to deep ward and make sure their duo finds the other teams duo. Or find some other way to deal with it. Standard lanes on the other hand, reward the team with the best mechanics and the biggest lane bullies, and the more forced teams are to standard lane, the more forced teams are to try and pick lane bullies, and the less a team's ability to strategies matters, because if they lose lane hard enough, their rotations wont save them. **TLDR: I feel like at the end of the day what most people really want from standard lanes(top level lane dynamics) is lost in an LCS stream anyways, and what you can only get from an LCS stream (high level strategy) is really hurt by forced lane meta.**

D-wave has been around since 1999! You are confusing GHz and QuBit up completely, GHz is the frequency of the processor while qubit is a quantum bit (like conventional bits and bytes). Qubit is modeled using the entire blotch sphere while normal bit is measured within the north/south end only, as for conventional processors, they can only address the north/south pole. While the D-wave 2 can address the entire blotch sphere, thus negating any need for a high frequency rate. TL;DR GHz = processor frequency Qubit (Quantum bit) = Resources to work with (much like cache in a way) Comparing apples to jet fighters here.

It’s because I wasn’t paying attention… so when I added a spam rule for yet another spam email… instead of changing the parameter to “if the subject contains” I didn’t notice it was still on the default “if the recipient is” — so the filter was set to if the recipient is [email protected] then delete message, instead of if the subject contains “webcam girls something something threesome.” So totally my fault. Just wasn’t paying attention. If they were still on the icloud server I could recover them. Unfortunately they are not, and Apple (like Google’s Gmail) doesn’t offer email backup service for free email accounts. So they are gone forever. Edit: TL;DR: Was in a hurry when I added a SPAM filter and didn't confirm settings before clicking apply.

I remember this game vividly. I was 20 years old, working at the Everett Events Center because there was a hockey game that night... and about 6 of us were sitting down in the office watching it on TV. The first one I feigned confidence that he was going to miss it, "guaranteed miss" I said. Then he missed it. Second one I actually had a little bit of actual confidence "guaranteed miss" I said again just to be funny. Bam, missed. By the third one, I said nothing and waited for everyone to stare at me. My boss says, "you better fucking say it". So I said it, and boom, another miss. TL;DR- I am 100% responsible for the Hawks winning that game - You're all welcome.

I never had a problem until I talked to some of their employees. Generally when I hear someone talk bad about a former employer I just assume they're petty or lazy. I've probably met 20-30 people that have worked at Wal-Mart and not one person has even said "Eh, it's not a bad place to work". Everyone says it's the shittiest job you can have. The pay is shit, your higher ups treat you like shit and even if you work full time, you'll probably be considered part time so they don't have to pay benefits. TLDR; Walmart treats their employees like shit. Overworked and underpaid.

Obviously you've never driven one then, because if you had you would absolutely have a reason to hate that rolling 4 wheeled piece of shit. I was in a wreck a while ago and while my truck was in the shop my insurance provided a rental car. When I got there it was an empty parking lot besides 4 or 5 pt cruisers and a hand full of cargo and passenger vans. So I said what the hell, I bet most the hate for this car is just circle jerking because it isn't one of the best looking cars in the world. So I drove it off the lot trying to stay positive and keep a very open mind about it. NOPE.NOPE.NOPE. Couldn't do it. After about an hour with the car I just had it. I couldn't bare another 6 days and 23 hours with this glorified, and I'm using that term lightly, little tyke car ( I took it back and told the guy I wanted, neigh, needed to switch it out with a real car. He laughed and said this happens "ALL THE TIME" and that more people come back to switch it out than keep it for the full time. The only problem was that a regular car wouldn't be returned for another 3 hours. I said fuck it, if waiting here for 3 hours meant that I could get a car that didn't make me want to drive into oncoming traffic every single time I used it then that's what I would do. To this day I still consider it in the top 50 best decisions I've made in my lifetime. TL;DR PT Cruiser? More like P.O.S Cruiser

How about the fact that Dodge/Chrysler, in all their infinite wisdom, thought it was a good idea to start putting the motherfucking battery in the gorram fender well? No direct access to it or changing it without jacking up the car, removing the wheel, and cracking open the fender well. TL;DR: Fuck PT Cruisers.

My SO has been really supportive of me when I do my makeup and loves when I use bright colors. He says "babe is so colorful." But one time he made me feel really bad by saying that I looked like a clown. I took a step back and thought "my eyebrows are bright blue (my hair is red) and I am wearing candy yum yum." so yeah, i was playing around at night and was a tad too colorful. It hurt, but I was able to realize a lot about us that night. He loved my looks, but when I went overboard, he kindly told me so. Usually when people talk shit about my makeup, I take a step back and reply in kind. Either, "I am playing around with new stuff" or "fuck your face you fucking fuck." But to each their own. Mind you, I wear a power brow everyday, pin up inspired eye and lipstick, or smokey eyes to class. Just because the girl next to me threw on yoga pants and came to class without brushing her hair doesn't mean I can't come looking good. When it comes to fathers and SOs, I think it depends on who you are and why you wear makeup. I know it's hard to tell you dad off, its still nicer to tell them that you do it for confidence or some reason why that is personal to you. "Dad, it's the color of the year (or something else)" Being respectful and asking for respect for return is the way to go. As far as SO, they don't own you. And fuck them if they don't like what you got on your face. TL;DR Be yourself. Respect is key. If not, fuck everybody.

I have no doubt in my mind that the average Wehrmacht Landser (and perhaps even some of the late war SS conscripts) were disturbed on some level by the genocide they partook in, but to say they were "forced into it" shows ignorance of German martial culture. Germans were culturally defined for centuries by their obedience and work ethic; the Nazi's took full advantage of this to disastrous consequences. Participating in or being complicit with genocide was just "going with the flow" for most of the Wehrmacht, because that was all that was asked of them. Were they disturbed by it? Of course they were, letters and diaries reveal this fact (EVERYONE knew the Jews were getting sent "somewhere" and their property stolen). Did they collectively feel strongly enough about their morals to disobey their command (ergo, their nation and people by extension)? Depressingly, not as many as the apologists say there were. To revisionists and neo nazis, this ugly truth is the basis of all their twisting and distortions, to nullify the truth rather than learn from it. There WERE a number of "good" Germans who did the right thing, and even more who probably leaned on the right side morally but didn't show it. Being complacent in a war out of fear is understandable, groups can also be persuaded to evil as well but even that is forgivable if you accept responsibility and change your thinking. No one is still seriously going after all Germans and calling them murderers; both the perpetrators and victims have accepted the moral burden and moved on with their lives to the betterment of both. If the intent of a "Wehrmacht did nothing wrong" argument is to whitewash the extent of the crimes and the societal role, that is unforgivable. Collective responsibility is a burden even righteous and regretful individuals must carry, because people are part of a society that they must participate in. Just as the actions of a few bad employees doesn't make the whole company bad, a few good soldiers regretting their comrades actions doesn't change the cause their organization fought for or the moral corruption of those who were complicit but equally glad to be a part of something. tl;dr Individuals can be good, but their cause will still be evil.

That is not necessarily the case. I work at a Federally run college and our student union building doesn't allow speakers to step up onto a soapbox and start lecturing or spewing opinions. Its mostly a risk management thing because people will get REALLY passionate and sometimes get into fights. We just don't want people in the building, with innocent people around who might not have a way out once a fight starts. BUT! Right outside the Student Union building is considered free speech zone because its out in the open and has just as much exposure to the public as the inside of the Student Union building does. Also provides an escape route for innocents to get out of the way. TL;DR: Public Property can still have free speech zones because of risk management

I've been talking extensively and amiably with the disputing parties in order to help corporate management sort out their differences and this is the conclusion I've arrived to so far. TL;DR: People disagreed over an issue, some of them got upset. Much was written on the internet. Pillage and conquest of space proceeded unhindered.

To understand why Internet Explorer was so shitty for years, you have to understand the browser itself. The Internet Explorer that is hated, is based on the Trident layout engine(a layout engine is how the computer takes the code and formating information and displays it). The problem with Microsoft was that they wanted to keep their browser in-house instead of going with the popular WebKit engine as the years went by. Now 3 of the 5 major browsers use WebKit(Chrome, Safari and Opera). It would cost too much to make the browser compliant with today's standards. Microsoft now wants users to stick with IE on Windows 8 because it's good for the ecosystem. Like if you use Outlook, SkyDrive and Office 365, staying within Microsoft's ecosystem(for example, Google's opposite ecosystem would include Gmail, Google Drive and Google Docs) It doesn't hurt Microsoft to make a bad product because there are a ton of IE/trident shells out there. A shell is any computer software that uses a layout engine. There are plenty of bad products out there(I'm looking at you, Battlefield 3 for PC) that exist and make money. Also, browsers don't hurt you positively or negatively that much. It costs a lot to make a browser from scratch like Microsoft did, but they just want you to stay in their ecosystem. TL;DR: It's cause Microsoft wants you to use Microsoft products, and it doesn't matter if it's shit. Also IE 11 isn't shit. My site looks all messed up on IE.

I've got the i5-8GB-1x755M 2GB version running W7 and I'm quite content. The only thing that's a pain in the ass is the NVIDIA Optimus technology for switching between the integrated low-power GPU and the NVIDIA one. Sometimes it makes stupid decisions and you have to manually choose the GPU you want to use. However I must warn you that if you plan on running linux on this computer you'll have a terrible time. I was only able to get it running with the -nomodeset option so that it uses the internal GPU. The linux nvidia drivers, or rather the lack thereof, are quite honestly a huge pain in the ass. TL;DR: Optimus sucks.

>The IRS really is not equipped to police elections — and knows it. Duh. The IRS shouldn't have to either. It's a joke to call these political groups "social welfare" organizations. All of them are pushing a political agenda and actively doing political campaigning, both on the right and the left, and none of them should be tax exempt. I shouldn't have subsidize Crossroads GPS or Women’s Action for New Directions with my increased tax bill. tl;dr: They need to get rid of the 501(c) IRS tax-exempt status.

Holy hell. Good luck and buy yourself a bottle of good wine and hide it somewhere for yourself. My in-laws refuse to stay anywhere but a super 8 motel half an hour away even though there are literally ten hotels within 5 miles of my apartment. They use the fact that driving to and from the hotel during the day just wouldn't make sense so they camp out in front of the TV and take up my entire living room all day and night. Also my MIL suffers from short term memory loss. It hasn't made her say rude things to people, but she doesn't really know how to act in public anymore. Like busting out into song while we're out to dinner, or wandering around a restaurant and ending up in the kitchen. Dementia is a horrible thing and I feel terrible for anyone that has to suffer through it, but it can definitely wear on you when you're being asked the same questions over and over for ten hours a day. TL;DR wine is your friend!!

I commented above- my bag is all black, so it has kind of an all-purpose look. But yeah, some of them have some really funky color schemes. I picked up a second one to use as a photography equipment bag that was two shades of blue during an Amazon Lightning Sale- at first I wanted to return it because I thought it was gaudy, but it's grown on me and even seems not too flashy anymore. TL;dr YMMV.

Take the time to acquaint yourself with the site www.randi.org , it is the website of the magician James Randi, and is a bastion of sound thinking and logical explanations for all things magical, mystical, or just plain dumb. You'll find a lot of information on the subject of "Cold Reading," which is the most widely applicable explanation of the "abilities" of psyhcics and mediums. The film 'Leap of Faith', is based on James Randi's very real investigation of one of America's most famous faith healer -mediums - Randi attended one of the events being held by Peter Popoff and recorded the radio transmissions that were going on at the event. Randi confirmed what he already knew to be the case; that Popoff had a very large team of researchers digging through trash, opening post, reading application forms etc from attendees of the event, and then simply broadcasting all of their findings to Popoff while he was 'performing'. (side note - although leap of faith is based on James Randi's investigation, there is a happy hollywood spin at the end and James Randi got no credit.) TL:DR - basically, they cheat, they guess, and they cheat some more.

Im the lee sin in that game and I never once mentioned the word report, idgaf about reports. The game started and started lagging like shit even though cmd showed me perfect ping to riot servers (i always check before i queue up) so I was like what the actual fuck and I asked you guys if ur lagging too. Remember? Anyway then, typical EUW day, Xin starts saying im boosted and d5 with 0 lp (even tho i have 23lp but whatever the fuck) cause I died lvl 1 and Renek lived with 5hp, then he starts calling me cancer, telling me my whole family should die, spamming chat, telling lies etc. etc. etc. I've had a fucking bad day and I lost my cool and started feeding intentionally. Then I DCed and couldnt reconnect. Now Im in this shitty fucking thread where EVEN YOU, the one person I fucking thought was a nice guy, tell fucking lies about me. I didn't mention the word REPORT once in this whole fucking game. I said my team should be ashamed of themselves for side-ing with the psychopath that spammed chat with I HOPE YOU DIE OF CANCER cause apparantely i have a bad kda on Lee or some shit, because the team thought someone feeding intentionally is worse than behaving like that xin did. TL;DR: Fuck. you. I didn't drop hack shit, I don't even know how that works motherfucker.

Your hair is gorgeous! It reminds me of my hair before I knew how to properly care for it. Did your mom have straight hair? My issues were from a mom who only knew to "brush it more!" instead of how to care for it. Please read through all of the advice on this forum. Things like shampooing WAY less will have a huge impact. Switching to a no/low poo (meaning free/low on sulfates, silicates, etc) will also help your hair find the natural wave/curl. Coconut oil is talked about tons on here...and for good reason. Try using a coconut oil treatment at least once a month. My hair is usually so happy. Also invest in good products. That doesn't mean they have to be expensive, just that they work. As other posters have stated, Moroccan oil brand can be pricey but the curl creme and hydrating creme are both well worth the cost. Also look into plopping! I too used to run screaming for the blow dryer/flat iron but now I can plop for 15-20 min after I wash and I don't look like a rat. The TL;DR is that your hair is gorgeous, you just need to learn to work with it not against it:)

Not at all. I see plenty of people make the assertion that philosophy and science are unrelated. It's possible to teach 'science' without getting into the philosophical assumptions that science is based on up til a point. Most science educators (i.e. pre-graduate studies) choose to keep philosophy out of the classroom because it can be impossible to 'answer' philosophical questions in an objective manner. tl;dr: Most science educators don't want to answer philosophical questions when they are being evaluated based on students' ability to restate theories or formulas.

Saw a 8/10 sitting at a bar that was doing karaoke. Submitted song for myself to sing (I Believe I Can Fly). Right when the guy calls my name to go sing, I run up to the girl and say, "Quick! What's your name?!". She says, "*blahblahblah*". I grab the mic and before I start singing, I announce to the bar that I have an announcement. I talk right to *blahblahblah* and tell her that even though we haven't known each other that long, I truly can't imagine my life without her. Then I get on my knees and propose. She LOLs and then says "ohmygod, yes!" I sing my song. Nail it. Everyone buys us drinks the rest of the night to congratulate our engagement. I totally hit it later that night. tl;dr I Believed I Could Hit It, Did

It definitely seems to me many have turned on him. Maybe theyre right or maybe not, but i dont feel comfortable taking a stance. Bc simply, we just dont know. I suppose when people dont know things they assess the character of the person in question. And those who feel he quit, obviously feel its in his character to do so. Whats especially interesting about that, and basically what i think OP is touching on, is the staggering confidence that comes from a parasocial relationship. You dont know him. Or how he thinks. He plays a character. How anyone can feel confident making any declaration one way or the other baffles me. **tl;dr** ppl are lazy and they dont care enough to think critically about stuff they have only a peripheral interest in.

Well no... All that information is likely stored on their end so if there is a perturbance between here and there it isn't illogical to assume that it may be an ISP issue. The larger issue is that they're clinging to this excuse even with how widespread the issue appears to be. TL:DR: certainly something to check, but move on.

I've found something interesting, I think.... Ever since RoS was release, forcing Vsync within your video card software doesn't work. Neither with AMD or Nvidia (Reference: I've looked all over the place, and it's just impossible to force it (not even with d3d, inspector..etc). So, I started playing around with the in game Vsync option. I disabled it and while having horrible screen tearing, opening my inventory inside a Rift wasn't that bad. Unfortunately, the stuttering wasn't completely gone BUT the good news is that the difference was VERY noticeable (much less stuttering!). The screen tearing was unbearable though, so I had to turn it back on. This" interface stuttering" issue has got to have something to do with Vsync! Because since RoS it's literally impossible to force it with an external program and it WAS possible before. They messed up something with how Vsync work in this game, I'm sure of it! tl;dr Disabling in game Vsync seems to have a huge impact on this issue.

I believe that was also done purposefully. I don't really know why commander is a "fulltime job" but they probably have their reasons (which, I believe, involve making the commander role more important and game changing then it was on BF2, which I honestly believe that they hit the spot) and if they made commander a fulltime job they couldn't allow to someone go into command and then go back to the game. I don't know if I have been clear, so Tl;dr: they don't allow you to move from commander to soldier so that being commander becomes something more meaningful.

Adorable! Also here's a random story. My Topics in Veterinary Medicine instructor gave us all that toy in the picture as reward for getting questions right during an exam review. I received a purple one, which quickly became my dog's absolute favorite toy. He all-too-soon destroyed it and I assumed he'd forget about it. But then we went to visit a friend in the same class, and the minute he saw the toy she received for her own dog (same color) he was thrilled. I'm going to have to buy him another one because such joy was fantastic. Moral of the story/TL;DR: that toy is awesome. So are you.

The range of emotions are hard to describe. You'll flip flop between anxiety, fear, excitement, bravado, and everything in between. Knowing when you get on the plane that you very well may never see anyone you love ever again yet doing it anyway creates a type of doubt and insecurity that's hard to relate to those that haven't been there. While you're there you'll experience a form of exhilaration during combat that really can't be replicated in your "normal" life, morbid as that sounds. It really is easy to become addicted to the rush. Getting back ON the plane a year later and knowing you've made it also pushes at the positive boundaries of your emotions in a manner that is very hard to match. Tl;dr it's a mindfuck, good or bad, and the fact that we as a nation are currently so blasé about the mental health of veterans is fucking shameful.

Night terrors are just called [night terrors]( or Pavor Nocturnus, hence the name of Ross's video. It basically happens when you first enter a "deep" sleep phase in your sleep cycle and your brain decides to have a crap attack. It's kinda sorta like a hypnic jerk (that falling feeling you sometimes get as you fall asleep that causes your whole body to twitch and wake you up again.) except that it's at the opposite end of the NREM sleep cycle. And it's usually far more extreme than just jolting awake. Night terrors aren't associated with hallucinations, however, and don't seem to be caused by outside stimulus such as a heartbeat. Neither is sleep paralysis, which -is- associated with hallucination. Ross's video seems more like it's what he saw as a (probably) imaginative kid waking up terrified and alone in his dark room full of toys. Night terrors rarely continue into adulthood so, assuming you and your friend are both adults, it might be that she has panic or phobic disorder which is triggered by hearing her own heartbeat. But I don't have enough information to say and even if I did, I'm not a psychologist so I can't diagnose her. In any case if what she has is disruptive or disabling to her, she needs to see a psychologist/psychiatrist so it can be diagnosed and treated appropriately. TL;DR: see if your friend won't go see a mental health professional if it's really bad, because they'll be able to help more than a few of us lovlies can. source: I suffer from occasional sleep paralysis and have done a reasonable amount of research on parasomnias **edit:** relocated the word "dark" so the sentence makes more sense

Yes. There are lots of reasons for this: one is if they own the .com they already won google. If they are (and they are) smart enough to buy other similar domains to redirect not only do they have the high ground, but they have fortified trenches on the SEO hill. Imagine you make a really rad film and I have a car company account at an agency and I see your rad film and I'm like wow, these toasty productions guys are ace, I want to talk to them about making a commercial for my client. I go and google Toasty Productions and whats going to come up first is toastyproductions.com then some stuff linking to or about them then way down on page 2 or 3 will be toastyproductions.co.uk. I'm going to click on Toastyproductions.com. Even If you make it to the 1st page the best I'm going to be is confused. You've either confused and turnoff a potential client or directed business to your competitor. Then there is the point where one of you get big enough to notice the other and want to squash them. No matter who is bigger this is going to be a long and costly legal process. Have you ever sued anyone? Trust me, you don't want to go down that road the only people who end up rich or happy are lawyers. Also it will take tons of time from running your biz in a competitive industry. I could go on and on but TL;DR: The second you have an idea buy the domain for it.

I can talk about this for days. I live in Israel, here we have two competitors; one is called Bezeq and one called is Hot. Bezeq has a VDSL 2 infrastructure while Hot has a 8x4 Docsis 3.0 infrastructure, both can hold symmetric 100 Mbps without problems. There are three fiber optic cables under the sea that go to Germany and the US so the infrastructure here is pretty good overall. But there is one big problem, both companies don't sell more than 2/3 Mbps upload (with100 Mbps down) for private customers while businesses pay over 200$ a month for symmetric 20 Mbps. So they both milk businesses while they don't give a shit about normal customers that can't afford a business line. After people contacted the department of ~~communication~~ jerking off in the office a project called the fiber project started back in 2010. They said the first customers will be connected in 2012, now it's 2014 and there are stories about corruption in the company that runs the project. A couple of months ago a new law was accepted and now Hot and Bezeq have to declare a minimal speed, they just say 0.01 Kbps and they don't have to do anything when you have a problem with your connection. Nowadays when you write a letter to the department of communication they say "wait for the fiber project" and they don't take any responsibility for the new law that was suggested by them. I tried calling both Hot and Bezeq about better upload speeds, both say their infrastructure can't handle it, which is complete bullshit. After all of this shit, I pay about 40$ for 30/2 and they still try to sell me 100 down when I ask for upload speed. One salesman didn't even know what upload speed is. tl;dr: it's shit here in Israel.

After all of this shit, I pay about 40$ for 30/2 and they still try to sell me 100 down when I ask for upload speed. One salesman didn't even know what upload speed is.

it's shit here in Israel.

I get in my bed, and it is usually ~10 p.m. by then. At that point I go on /R/askreddit for around another two hours. Sometimes I just go to sleep after that time, but sometimes times (Read: Most times) I get worried about how much time I have left to sleep, and end up staying up a lot later. (like tonight, (its 1:30p.m. Right now)) after I manage to fall asleep I may get up and go to the restroom or grab a drink, usually I dont have to worry about getting back to sleep because I'm already in that dazed/confused stage of just waking up. On rare ocasions I fall alseep before I even get on reddit. This rarely ever happens though. On even more rare ocasions Ill see some horrid morbid stuff on the front page, and feel sick to my stomach (I cant handle to much gore) and cant go to sleep, and stay up very late which launches the "worried about how much time left to sleep" faze. On those nights, I stay up till at least 3:00p.m. Which sucks if I have to do something the next day. TL;DR: Bed,Reddit,Worry,Sleep.

I agree. One of the biggest problems I have with this (otherwise wonderful) community is the hate the showrunners get from time-to-time for deviations they make. I want the show to be as close as possible to the books but sometimes that's not realistic. There haven't been any changes in my opinion that have been detrimental to the show. Everything that has been changed has been because of budgetary reasons (e.g., combining certain characters) or to strengthen the show (e.g., Pod in the brothel). D&D don't take absolute liberties in the show; they are telling the same story as GRRM just in a television show. I haven't read the TrueBlood novels, but I hear the show completely abandoned the novels. I don't think D&D are/will do[ing] that. TL;DR: The books and show are completely different medium and I appreciate each for what they are.

Wow, I hope you don't eat *any produce whatsoever* because it's pretty much all picked by exploited migrants. The native Bolivians likely have it better, and if there's anything hippies love it's fair trade, so expect conditions to improve as info leaks out. The concern of snatching food out from the mouths of those who produce is valid, so I decided to do five minutes of googling in which I found [starvation has consistently fallen in Bolivia and continues to do so.]( According to [this article]( which says the prices have risen sharply but brings no health statistics to the table, Bolivia plans to plant a ton more Quinoa and reserve much of it for domestic consumption. This could be a great thing for the Bolivian economy after the dust settles and demand levels out. **tl;dr Quinoa is great for you, and the only thing trendier than Quinoa is bashing vegans and/or the US in general (not often you can do that with one shot)**

My memory is good, above average, but I wouldn't call it awesome. I've been living in intentional communities for the past 27 months. All I have to do is be social to be reminded of what's going on. I can knock on my neighbor's door to see if they want to hang out, or even easier ask them at one of the shared meals to make plans. For everyone else immediacy isn't as important so I keep in touch with them over email. My social life is great! Bonfires, camping trips, rafting, volleyball, disc golf, boardgames nights, swimming, hiking, etc. **TL;DR** I guess you could say that others use schedules, in the communities I live in, so I don't have to.

A nicer way to put it is I let those who feel they need to know all the little details take care of all the little details. I just go along for the ride and make plans for things I wan to add to my schedule that are missing in other's plans, like going disc golfing. I just went to the doctor for some blood work and a few follow up visits. I just used the card they gave me that had a date on it. I didn't put it on a calendar, but I put it on a cork board in my room. I guess I've never really used a standard calendar, just post/remember dates when things needed to happen. I remember birthdays of my closest family and friends, for all others I'm reminded by other friends/family telling me. **TL;DR** Live in an intentional community, my schedule isn't so complex that I'd need a calendar to organize it.

> But how does this help OP with their calendar problem? Often when people have a problem they think they need something to fix it, often including buying something. Well enough times they don't realize that instead of picking option A or B (App1 vs App2) that they can pick option C (buy nothing). Think of the many posts we've had about e-book readers. People want to buy something to be more minimalist. Though this can work it seems ironic, "I need to buy something so I can stop buying things". Thinking outside the box. Drawing outside the lines. Not following a norm. That's the basic premise here. If OP was interested in how I simplified my life and what he/she could do to do the same and not buy another app (among other things), then I'd be happy to oblige. I opened the door to dialogue about an alternative solution. **TL;DR** Out of the box thinking.

Truly not trying to move away from the heart of the topic here (I'm talkin bout money, loc! :), but I'm getting the vibe that you may need to get into a different topic of conversation with your school before you move into additional compensation. You are allowed to make a business case for your position in the discussion, and you are allowed to do it without that discussion turning personal or becoming a guilt trip from either party. If what you want is to stay with this charter, let them know that, then also make your case for what you do, what is reasonable to expect, and how you should be compensated. You can bring all of the things you've brought to this thread to the table. You're not threatening them, you're being professional and honest and looking for them to do the same. If you didn't want to stick around, you'd just go (you had the opportunity to, and didn't). They'll get that. I am still young in the industry overall (6 years in IT, 2 in k-12) but I've definitely experienced taking on too much and spreading thin. In my first few years, it was to learn, and to show initiative and get my gold stars. Now, I can recognize that I often performed more poorly doing so and had to spin my wheels more to make up for mistakes that might not have happened if I was more focused. I'm not saying you're spread thin - I have no idea - but you clearly think you're doing more than you're compensated for.

There are a number of different types of stickers/decals, but yours appear to be vinyl lettering with backing paper and transfer paper. Assuming you are applying this on the outside of a vehicle (as opposed to an inside window), the side where you can read the words correctly is the transfer paper and looking at the side where the words are backwards is your backing. With vinyl decals/stickers they're typical individual letters that are held in place by the two papers. In fact, the last vinyl sign I put up, I did the letters individually because of the size. Ultimately, I think you're good to go. Ignoring the music in [this video]( it is a pretty good demonstration of one method you can use to apply decals like these. Application fluid = spray bottle + water + 1-2 drops dishsoap. Don't need much. TL/DR: probably fine as they are vinyl letters.

Humans aren't robots. We aren't practical beings who strive for practicality. We have vast cultures and differences that should be studied and known. We should know how we as a society came to be. History and literature are a facet for that. Without history, we would forget everything that humanity has strove for, paid for. Without literature, we wouldn't have such great works as Shakespeare or some of the old epics such as the Iliad or the Odyssey. Doesn't matter if they're directly practical or not. They give us a facet for shaping us into who we are. They're indirectly useful and practical. They give us a clue into how our culture came to be. That's why they're important and should be taught in school. Though I think physical activity should also be mandatory in schools too. Otherwise you end up with a bunch of people who have terrible grammar and don't know anything about the past except the most recent. Not teaching history would mean not teaching about the Founding Fathers, how nations were formed, how our political process came to be, and to an extent, why we need to defend our rights. No one would know of George Washington, Alexander the Great, Abraham Lincoln, and etc. We wouldn't be taught how WWII or WWI came about, about appeasement and the consequences of peace at any cost, we wouldn't be taught about the Holocaust or the Cold War and McCarthyism. We wouldn't be taught of Mans' great achievements such as the Pyramids, the Great Wall, or Apollo 11 and what got us to the moon. You'd end up with a lot more ignorant people than we have today. And the thing about grammar; I'm guessing you came from a pretty well off school/area since you don't seem to have met many adults who have poor grammatical skills. I'd make it a requirement in college if I could with the amount of people I meet who don't quite have a full grasp on grammar. tl;dr: You're ignorant and an example of why we need history and literature taught.

No one would know of George Washington, Alexander the Great, Abraham Lincoln, and etc. We wouldn't be taught how WWII or WWI came about, about appeasement and the consequences of peace at any cost, we wouldn't be taught about the Holocaust or the Cold War and McCarthyism. We wouldn't be taught of Mans' great achievements such as the Pyramids, the Great Wall, or Apollo 11 and what got us to the moon. You'd end up with a lot more ignorant people than we have today. And the thing about grammar; I'm guessing you came from a pretty well off school/area since you don't seem to have met many adults who have poor grammatical skills. I'd make it a requirement in college if I could with the amount of people I meet who don't quite have a full grasp on grammar.

You're ignorant and an example of why we need history and literature taught.

SECOND COMMENT, STORY CONT'd The next few days were a miserable blur. Basically I had to be at the nursery on the complete other side of the building from the postpartum unit every 2-3 hours to feed him, so my husband would help me get out of bed and into the wheelchair, bring me there where we had to scrub before entering, feed him (or try to), spend some time with him, get back to my room, pump for 30-40 minutes to encourage my milk coming in, then with my limited remaining time decide if I should try to eat, shower, talk to my family/friends wanting updates, or quickly nap. I was exhausted, weak from the blood loss, and in a lot of pain. In the NICU I was either scolded by the grumpy nurse for “almost losing his IV” when trying to breastfeed (NOT TRUE, I was exceptionally careful and not once did he lose his IV) or hovered over while attempting to breastfeed but not actually being helped (if you are going to sit here and watch me breastfeed you could at least give me some freaking pointers, no?!). I felt like the NICU nurses were looking at me like I was a source of food for baby but other than that I might hurt him or compromise his care in some way. They would call my postpartum room and bark “Baby’s hungry!” and hang up. It was such a weird experience; I was not expecting to feel such a complete lack of compassion and support. I had always heard such good things about NICU nurses and was just sort of floored by the staff at this hospital. The grumpy nurse told me at one of my visits that he had just had his first bath before I got there. I quietly cried when she walked away. I was coming every 2-3 hours, couldn’t they ask me if I wanted to be there for that or wait to include me? I felt like I was being robbed of every important experience, from losing my shot at a vaginal birth to not seeing him/touching him right when he came out of me, to not having him in the room with me, to now being so completely excluded from his care. I didn’t feel like I was really his mom. With the exception of a couple great nurses on the postpartum unit, the majority of them left me high and dry. One failed to bring me my pain medication for TWO HOURS. I mean, after having your abdominal muscles cut open, it’s kind of something you just need, especially if you are expected to be getting out of bed every 2 hours. We had a whole conversation at the start of her shift about how I was due for it very shortly, and I expressed to her I was starting to feel pretty bad pain. I had a burning ache in my lower back and abdomen. She failed to bring the meds on time, still not after my husband asked the other nurses to please get her, and still not after I hobbled out into the hallway in tears looking for her. She saw me and was like “Oh, yeah…pain meds, sorry…” but ran into another patient’s room and I still didn’t see her for another twenty minutes. The day before we were discharged, the baby was reunited with us in the room. I was just in complete survival mode, waiting to be discharged. The morning of discharge I was out of bed at the crack of dawn packing, filling out papers and preparing to leave. I was SO READY to get out of there, it was all I could focus on. It’s funny in retrospect; while pregnant I had been so looking forward to the birth, meeting our son and having that bonding time in the hospital, but feared coming home and having to take care of him. Now I felt just the opposite, I was merely surviving the hospital stay and desperate to get far away from there and move on. I didn’t fear bringing him home in the least then. The stellar staff failed to check the car seat (good thing I knew what I was doing) and sent us home in a disorganized fashion with (I realized a few days later) a hospital birth certificate that was not only full of blanks and missing information, but said “February, __, 2014”….he was born on March 1st. So even if I could fill in the blanks myself, it had the wrong fucking month written in. I know it isn’t his official state birth certificate, but still, it was the one with his footprints, from the moment he was born…the moment I missed out on. At home, I was so thrilled to have him to myself, but as the days went on I was increasingly sad and angry about the way the birth went. I know some of it was the hormonal crash but I would just stare at him when he would cry and feel guilty, like he should still be inside of me—it wasn’t even his due date yet, I would think. I mourned the moment of my husband holding my hand while I pushed him out, I mourned holding him right away and being the first face he saw. I felt robbed of being able to experience joy in any part of the hospital stay…it was simply one disappointment followed by another. I tried to reason that the important thing is that we both made it out healthy and okay, but the feeling of failure still ate away at me. I felt disappointed for my husband that the experience was also bad for him—he was distressed for me while the induction dragged, scared for me to have a c-section, scared when he walked over to our baby and witnessed him grunting and struggling to breathe, then had to watch while I screamed and cried from feeling the surgery. Because we had been in the hospital for a full week, my husband had less time to spend home with us—he had a big deadline to make at work. I kept thinking that if only I didn’t have preeclampsia, it all would have been better, I would have made it to my due date, timing would have been better, my husband would have had more time at home, what if, what if, what if…I spent a lot of time torturing myself with these thoughts. I was also having some flashbacks from the whole experience, especially the surgery. Fearful of my sadness growing into full-blown PPD, I sought counseling. While in the hospital I just wanted to get through it and being in healthcare, I let a lot of things go, I was very understanding of mistakes and I got that sometimes things in medicine just don’t work out the way you plan. So I didn’t stand up for myself, until I got home and realized I did not deserve to be insulted by the midwife while I was in such a desperate place, I did not deserve to feel like I was not heard several times throughout the stay, I did not deserve to have my care and pain control compromised because my anesthesiologist felt rushed. Ultimately, I know what good patient care is and I had to face that much of what I experienced was deviation from good patient care. I set up an appointment with the patient advocate at the hospital so I could outline for her that while certain aspects of my experience could not have changed, it could have been made much better if many of the staff did not completely suck at their jobs. It made me feel better to just get it off of my chest and to let them know that we would never be coming to that hospital again, for anything. So there it is, my long and imperfect birth story, but it did bring me my most perfect little boy. He is six weeks now and as time has gone on, I have been feeling better about it. I am still really disappointed, but talking about it with my husband and a counselor, and letting the hospital administration know what a disappointment it was have all helped the anger fade a bit. I am really hopeful to have a VBAC one day when we are ready to do this again, although I do not know for sure how that issue with my uterus may affect my chances. My doctor did say, however, that I would be a candidate to try. So I can hope, anyway. I oddly incredibly miss being pregnant and I get a little sad when I come on babybumps, to be honest, not in a bad way but a homesick way. It sounds funny because I hated so many things about being pregnant and had such horrible nausea for much of it, but I still look back on it so fondly, that time in my and my husband’s life. Thanks ladies for all of your support and I hope I will be back here again when the time is right! (I will still probably lurk, though). TL;DR: 37 wk induction for preeclampsia lasted 3 days, included little/no support from hospital staff, epidural that only half-worked, pain, nausea/vomiting, insulted by midwife for inquiring about section after 64 hours in delivery room, finally c-section for failure to progress, decent amount of blood loss, epidural failed and felt latter half of the surgery, collapsed lung/NICU stay for baby, bad experience all around, but everyone's okay now

It's good to keep track of the big O of the scope you're writing in at any given time. When you're several functions deep it becomes easy to lose track of. If you remember "this is going to happen O(log n) every frame" or "this is going to happen O(n^(2)) every minute" it'll help you know how optimized to write your code. If you ever have to profile something, big O can help you look at function call counts and figure out what code is causing a slow down. Also, if you fuck up and make something O(n^(3)) when it doesn't need to be, someone will rage at you. tl;dr: you should know big O without thinking about it and know more about efficiency besides.

Speaking as someone who has lived in many wards and has enjoyed the whole spectrum of social interaction at church I have to say that sometimes you get into a ward that is filled with people who are not living the gospel like they should and you end up stuck in a clique-ish, snobbish, or unkind ward by dint of geography. All that matters is that you make sure that your testimony is founded in the gospel instead of on the virtue of the members and you can tough it out until you can move or get permission to switch wards. On the other hand I have been in wards that have been filled with wonderful saints who were kind and loving, and while this brought me great joy and good memories, my testimony does not depend on this always being the case. TL;DR This meme is childish, and does not excuse unchristian behavior on the part of the members, which does actually happen from time to time.

I came across it back when the kickstarter campaign was in full swing, bought me an Aurora back then. I heard the guy behind Freelancer was coming back to make a new game and was looking for cash. In the kickstarter video he said he wanted to take this new game as far as computers could go, to push the hardware as far as he could. He wanted to make a PC game, not just some game ported to my platform. I was in the middle of building the computer I'm using now. It's more powerful than any of the new consoles. I am fed up with mediocre and half-ass-ed ports and a hand full of RTS's, because they just can't make them for consoles. I was angry that I had to download a mod to make Oblivion's inventory system look reasonable on my crappy 8 year old monitor. It was already 'HD', and I'm sitting a foot away. I don't need a font size of 72 to read it. I was tired of walking in a cloud because the developer put a view distance. Just to keep consoles from having to render too much. Fintilgins ForeverView fixed that, but why am I having to 'fix' a 'problem' generated by a corporation that had nothing to do with any of it. Neither MS nor Sony are at fault. They make their products for a profit, and there isn't anything wrong with that. Nor is there anything wrong with developers saving money by developing for the least common denominator. And if CIG were to make a port for consoles, I wouldn't have problem with it. It's just nice to be thrown a bone every once in a while. TL;DR: I'm happy CIG is focused on PC's as their target market.

I came across it back when the kickstarter campaign was in full swing, bought me an Aurora back then. I heard the guy behind Freelancer was coming back to make a new game and was looking for cash. In the kickstarter video he said he wanted to take this new game as far as computers could go, to push the hardware as far as he could. He wanted to make a PC game, not just some game ported to my platform. I was in the middle of building the computer I'm using now. It's more powerful than any of the new consoles. I am fed up with mediocre and half-ass-ed ports and a hand full of RTS's, because they just can't make them for consoles. I was angry that I had to download a mod to make Oblivion's inventory system look reasonable on my crappy 8 year old monitor. It was already 'HD', and I'm sitting a foot away. I don't need a font size of 72 to read it. I was tired of walking in a cloud because the developer put a view distance. Just to keep consoles from having to render too much. Fintilgins ForeverView fixed that, but why am I having to 'fix' a 'problem' generated by a corporation that had nothing to do with any of it. Neither MS nor Sony are at fault. They make their products for a profit, and there isn't anything wrong with that. Nor is there anything wrong with developers saving money by developing for the least common denominator. And if CIG were to make a port for consoles, I wouldn't have problem with it. It's just nice to be thrown a bone every once in a while.

I'm happy CIG is focused on PC's as their target market.

i've been "producing" (as they're calling it now) since about 2003. more seriously since about 2006. never really put out any electronic music. have put in countless thousands of hours. skills are ALMOST at a point where i feel comfortable releasing something. if you are on the verge of quitting, it's probably not for you. why would you quit? do you not do this for fun? do you think the only reason to create music is some short-sighted vision of fleeting fame? even once you get to a point you're happy with, you'll NEVER, EVER know everything, and you'll probably never be fully satisfied. every day i learn, and every day i go deeper into the rabbit hole. TL;DR if this was too long for you to read... well you probably aren't suited for the tedious nature of music creation. but realistically - just do your best to enjoy the journey. "happiness is the journey, not the destination." same applies to this field. if you don't enjoy doing it, don't do it. if you set too many goals for yourself it will hinder your creative experimentation and you'll only come up short handed.

What the fuck ? Here's a thought game for you champ. Are you ready. Think about YOURSELF for a minute, what would make you say this ? Answer: You are conditioned to be a very negative person. Humanity is creating this, not some abstract concept from a fantasy sci-fi. We are are simply progressing with technology. And with each new thing, TV, Chariots, Wheel, Fire, Internet came the exact same associated screams of we are all doomed - yet - despite the thousands, nay, MILLIONS of predictions of DOOOOM from technology, not one has ever eventuated. Further, the dream was always, ALWAYS to create an automated society built upon the premise of robots doing our bidding freeing us up to do as we will ! The problem is absolutely not that people will lose their jobs - great - the problem is the structure governing our societies. The very fundamental, core issue is that those of privilege and wealth do NOT want to share the spoils and trappings of wealth. PERIOD. The idea that we can all go to fine art, classical music concerts, fine dining, and share in the decision making process is an absolute anathema to them. The absolute bedrock of being privileged is that there must, by definition be a majority of people below your status. It is simply not about being able to enjoy wonderful things, it is about having the majority of people around you NOT being able to enjoy those things. This is what makes you feel special. This is what makes you feel better than everyone else. This is why socialism is so evil - it makes us equal. We have to then actively do things, practice, learn, engage, and dedicate ourselves to bettering ourselves via some skill set in order to better ourselves and distance ourselves from the masses in order to be identified as unique, special - better than everyone else. AND THAT is hard. It's hard to become a Picasso, Rembrandt, Hendrix, AC/DC, Einstein - it is far, far easier to simply be rich and privileged and deny access to life simple pleasures for the masses and thus engage in the same self congratulatory behaviour of feeling special and better than everyone else. The reality is that there is simply no possibility of their position continuing and civilisation as a whole also continuing. The very basis for DAS KAPITAL was not a prescription for communism. It was a socio-economic-political forecast that as the consumption of resources reached a critical point, combined with a trajectory of control over our environment (robots) the means of production (capital, resources etc) will need to be shared collectively. It was not an idea that Marx intended to be implemented, followed or even idealised - it was merely a description of what will beyond all doubt eventuate. TL;DR Some people like sharing ice cream with others. Some can only enjoy it if no one else has any.

First off, we already live in a world where computers and robots vastly out perform human beings in a huge number of tasks. Secondly, if you look at the history of computing and robotics you see that advances in the fields only enable human being to do greater things. tl;dr, don't fear the singularity, embrace it

Nearly! I got a 60.5% (below a 60 is failing) so I passed with a D with no need to retake. Here's my story: The class itself was Methods of Social Research class. The entire class consisted of a mid-term, final, and a huge ass research/study paper. We needed to hand out surveys, extrapolate the data, etc. Wrote a 34 page research paper only to be cited for plagiarism by a groupmate of mine. She told the professor that I had copied a section of her paper (which I did but still, bitch move) so she cited me. She promised me she wouldn't fail me and she kept her word. As for advice, I would say use it as a learning tool. What made you fail the classes? Lack of attendance, not knowing the material, partying too much? College isn't for everyone. It is hard work. My family and friends supported me throughout. I would suggest bringing it to their attention personally and explain how you are gonna work harder in the future and be a man of your word. I graduate this semester with a B.S. in Criminal Justice **TL;DR** - nearly failed a class because of plagiarism. Support, dedication, and a positive look at things are what you need.

I'm a huge sucker for nice eyes. Not too long ago I developed a bit of a crush on a girl almost entirely for her amazing eyes. You have to understand - I first saw her in the dead of winter so her eyes were pretty much the only part of her that I could see. Everything else was completely covered up by hundreds of layers of coat. But oh, those eyes. Big, beautiful, blue eyes. We rode the same bus into the city every single morning. She got on a couple stops before me so I would always be able to position myself to at least be able to see her eyes. She would usually be deeply engrossed in her phone or her book or her newspaper and rarely surveyed her surroundings. Usually I'd stare all ride in and only occasionally had to dart my eyes away if she glanced up. After a few weeks of this, I was obsessed. I thought about those eyes every morning as soon as I woke up, watched them as we rode into the city, then thought about them all day at work while I mindlessly failed miserably at my job. One day during lunch I decided to hit the gymnatorium to help clear my mind. I got on a cyclotron and pedaled for a long time. I'm not sure how long I stayed there, probably at least several episodes of Judge Judy or cooking with Judge Judy or daytime soap operas starring Judge Judy or whatever it was on the telotron. Then, almost as if I had wished it, there she was. She was busy stretching in the corner of the room, looking fly as hell in yoga pants and a sports bra. Almost immediately I stopped and tried as suavely as possible to approach her. "HEY" I said, way too loudly, "I always see you on the bus in the morning!" She laughed and nodded "Yup way too early" I could tell sparks were flying in this heated match. It is very rare that I extend myself and be assertive with women, but maybe it was the weeks of obsession or the adrenaline from the cyclotron or just her damn beautiful eyes I asked her if she wanted to grab some coffee after the gym. She looked at me with those big beautiful eyes for what seemed like an eternity. It was probably the first time we ever really made eye contact. I stared deeper and deeper into the abyss of her eyes and I saw something, beyond the reflective and bright outer layer and in the deeper darker blue rings in the iris. Before she even could respond to my inquiry, I quickly asked "What is that?" I reached out and poked her eye. She recoiled sharply for obvious reasons but now it was too late. I had seen something and I knew it was important. I knew what I did next would be too aggressive and ruin any chance I would ever have of being with her, but I had to know. I grabbed her shoulders with both hands to keep her from moving. With my other hand, I reached deep into her eye and pulled myself in. All of sudden, I was swimming in the vast blue ocean of her eyes. I looked down into the black abyss of the pupil. There it was, what I was searching for. Maybe my whole life. I took a deep breath and plunged into the water. It was warm and inviting. Despite being underwater, I didn't feel the need for oxygen anymore. Relieved, I continued my descent. Deeper and deeper. Way, way down. Deeper and deeper. Way, way down. And there it was. I was right about what I saw all the way back at the gym. After reaching complete darkness I pushed through to bright light and a sprawling metropolis. Atlantis! This was the most important nautical discovery in maybe all of time! Since I was in her eye, the entire city was small enough to fit in a thimble I had in my pocket. I scooped it up and returned to the surface. The scientific community gave me thousands of medals and awards for my discovery, granting me the incredibly honorful title of King of Science. Once out of the eye Atlantis expanded back to its original size and the world's foremost sciensticians were able to study it. The girl also thanked me, claiming that it had always itched a little bit. We didn't get coffee though as I was no longer interested in her eyes. **TL;DR: Eyes are a like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.**

If you remember the definition of the pdf from the cdf: [; F(x) = \int\_{-\infty}\^{x} f(t)\,dt ;] You can say F(x) = Pr[X<=x] = Pr[kX<=kx] = Pr[kX<=y] where y = kx. So let's write z(y) for the pdf of kX, and Z(y) for the cdf. [; Z(y) = \int\_{-\infty}\^{y} z(s)\,ds = F(y/k) = \int\_{-\infty}\^{y/k} f(t)\,dt ;] Now do the change of variables s = kt, ds = k dt and the limits change in the first integral, you get [; Z(y) = \int\_{-\infty}\^{y/k} z(kt)\,k\,dt = F(y/k) = \int\_{-\infty}\^{y/k} f(t)\,dt ;] and the new pdf obeys k z(kt) = f(t). So the change of variable gets you. Alternatively, you can do the proof using the cdf's directly: [; Pr[X<x] = Pr[kX<kx] = \Phi\left(\sqrt{\frac{\lambda}{x}} \left(\frac{x}{\mu}-1\right)\right)\,e\^{\left(\frac{2\lambda}{\mu}\right)\Phi\left(-\sqrt{\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\left(\frac{x}{\mu}+1\right)\right)} ;] which can be directly substituted: [; \lambda \mapsto k\lambda\,,\,\mu \mapsto k\mu\,,\,x \mapsto kx\. ;] EDIT: no doubt I'll have to fix the latex, wait a moment or two... TL;DR: When you stretch a pdf along the x-axis, it shrinks in the y-axis, because it must still integrate to 1.

[; Z(y) = \int_{-\infty}\^{y} z(s)\,ds = F(y/k) = \int_{-\infty}\^{y/k} f(t)\,dt ;] Now do the change of variables s = kt, ds = k dt and the limits change in the first integral, you get [; Z(y) = \int_{-\infty}\^{y/k} z(kt)\,k\,dt = F(y/k) = \int_{-\infty}\^{y/k} f(t)\,dt ;] and the new pdf obeys k z(kt) = f(t). So the change of variable gets you. Alternatively, you can do the proof using the cdf's directly: [; Pr[X<x] = Pr[kX<kx] = \Phi\left(\sqrt{\frac{\lambda}{x}} \left(\frac{x}{\mu}-1\right)\right)\,e\^{\left(\frac{2\lambda}{\mu}\right)\Phi\left(-\sqrt{\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\left(\frac{x}{\mu}+1\right)\right)} ;] which can be directly substituted: [; \lambda \mapsto k\lambda\,,\,\mu \mapsto k\mu\,,\,x \mapsto kx. ;] EDIT: no doubt I'll have to fix the latex, wait a moment or two...

When you stretch a pdf along the x-axis, it shrinks in the y-axis, because it must still integrate to 1.

These two teams have faced off before in CEVO, with [RONIN5 taking away the win in OT on Train]( NetCode has proven time and time again they have been a solid team--they have great shots all around the team, and jdm's AWP is nothing to scoff at. They've gotten the results, and it justifies the odds they have right now. I have to say, though, I always feel like RONIN5 are a little underappreciated; mosbeck and wabbit are *definitely* able to pull their weight, and the team as a whole is not bad at all (though I would argue they are slightly worse than NetCode's lineup). mosbeck's (or maybe it was wabbit's, I can't remember) AWP can definitely stand the test of jdm's, in my opinion, and that's going to be key in this map. One thing to note, however is that they have had a recent roster change--hades appears to have left the team, and it is unknown who the replacement is. The big thing about Mirage is that it's not necessarily sided for anyone. NetCode *do* have the home advantage, so they have that going for them, but this map is all about mid control. If the Ts can lock down mid, they open up a lot more options to make really cunning pincer attacks through cat, connector, or even a boost into window. If CTs keep mid under control (which takes one player, usually an AWP), they can rest a lot easier knowing that the Ts only have one way into each bombsite. It's critically important for the AWPers on both teams to try to get mid control, or do some great A executes with smokes or B pushes with mass YOLO. I think I'd give the slight advantage to NetCode. I think they are a solid team who have a great lineup that is pretty gosh darn good, despite their average [5-4 record in ESEA]( However, if the odds remain 40 or lower for RONIN5, I'll definitely toss a small-mid bet on them. I think RONIN5 are underappreciated, and that they can definitely keep up with--even with against NetCode's aggressive playstyle. Aggressive play on Mirage is stifled because of how long it takes to flank your opponents (unless you go like apts to underpass on CT, even then though), and so really it's a tactical map all about control. I firmly believe RONIN5 *can* win this, but their roster change makes it less predictable. I can't say if they've benefitted from the change without seeing who's replaced hades--it'll come down to who's having the better day today to take home this 50/50 (roughly). **tl;dr: I favor NetCode in this matchup, 55/45. They have solid players who've done relatively consistently in the past, but their recent bits of inconsistency plus the fact that RONIN5 are a bit underrepresented in the odds (62/38 as of writing) will not have me placing my bet on NetCode, but instead on RONIN5 ([just a small one]( as I think they fully have the potential of taking the win due to their own rather good lineup of players, despite a player change.**

Please consider talking to a therapist. (And thank you for posting the trigger warning at the top of your post). The details don't matter. You matter. How this is affecting you matters. It's common to have smaller and smaller things trigger you as you get older, especially if you haven't fully worked through the trauma. It does get better, but it takes a long time, and a lot of working through it (therapy, journaling, music, art, and such), which requires courage to face, instead of running the other way. You're not stupid. Your reactions are normal. The incredible panic you feel when triggered is the intense fear you felt as a child, but had to push out of your mind just to survive at the time. You've been stuffing this down for so long, but it won't go away without directly dealing with it. Even then, it will never be erased. It eventually gets less overwhelming. Personally, I dissociate a lot less, and just avoid any movies or media that I think will be too stressful. If warned or prepared, I can be with others in their trauma, without trouble. I can stay grounded and present, especially to help others. But, it doesn't work if it's a surprise or in a setting where there is nothing I can do to help, even if just by being present (so, movies obviously are stressful - it helps if I'm there to help someone else get through it). I can still get physically ill and dissociate, without sense of duty or given warning. I sometimes still have trouble being alone in an elevator with an older man, especially if he's an authority figure. I can at least stay in the elevator, without leaving or outwardly showing any obvious distress. But, I'm still working through it. Originally, I didn't even remember or know anything happened, until much later. I didn't realize everyone didn't feel sick being alone with older men. I didn't know I was dissociating. It all made sense when others realized what was going on and told me, and I started to remember. I was pretty cagey about it in therapy, and still have to really convince myself to go towards it, even now, so many years later. But it's better. tl;dr. You're going to be okay. You're not alone. See a therapist. It gets better, with work.

I studied HR for undergrad and honestly some of the interview questions out there are stupid. Instead of coming up with good questions on their own, often an interviewer will just jot down a bunch of generic questions like this. I'll argue that you should not feel obligated to answer these questions honestly. If they give you generic questions give them generic answers. *Oh you know, I am not the best at organizing paperwork, I always get my folders mixed up* You don't want to give the impression that you are self important jerk and think you are perfect, but you also don't want to reveal any real "weaknesses" that may leave a bad impression with your interviewers. TL;DR Say something that makes you look honest and self-aware but doesn't give a bad impression.

I noticed the shift in comments, too, but it happened last year as well. My theory is that the announcement threads are largely commented upon by those who are the most heavily invested in Android. Largely, those opinions are negative regarding Samsung, at least in the last couple of years. Fans of Samsung stay out of these threads because they have been dominated with "samshit" and "touchjizz" low-effort comments, thus making it hard to have any serious discussion. When the reviews finally come out, the haters have moved on and the Samsung fans can finally discuss the phone without so much noise. TL;DR: Haters comment on the announcement thread, while fans comment on the review threads.

Not only that, but GRRM's first pass at ASOIAF was a trilogy with Dany crossing the Narrow Sea for Westeros at some point in the second or third book, I can't remember. So it made total sense to introduce her so early, she would get to interact with players and hugely influence events very quickly. As the tale grew though and with so much story to tell, Dany fell into the awkward position she's in now: intoduced early on, very clearly going to be a major player for most of the saga...but is sort of waiting in the wings as GRRM sorts out events where she can come over. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't give up our Dany chapters for the world. Great commentary on what it means to be a ruler, self doubt and hesitant confusion, what you perceive as being right, all presented in a fantastic character. I just feel like, yeah, if GRRM were to take another pass at his series knowing what he has plotted currently, he would shift Dany's story just a bit. It takes quite the author to take a character who was supposed to show up in Westeros in book 2 of a trilogy and spin her into a character just as (if not more) interesting...while madly stuffing in 5 books of story happening on the other side of the world to prepare for her arrival. TL;DR: A Dany who was supposed to show up in Westeros in book 2 of a trilogy and a Dany who still hasn't shown up in Westeros after five books of a...septulogy(?) are two different characters, which means a shift in when her tale starts in the saga isn't unimaginable.

In 2009 Bob McGinn said that Michael Crabtree sat atop the Packers big board. He even went as far as to indicate that provided Crabtree is still available at #9 he would become a Green Bay Packer. This was a very important draft for Thompson &amp; Co. because it was the draft prior to making the move to the 3-4 defense. With so many glaring needs on the defensive side there was no way Green Bay could afford to pick up another receiver. Or could they? After all if Crabtree was the BPA they had to take him, right? We all know what happened next; the Packers would go on to select Raji at #9 and Crabtree would be picked immediately afterwards at #10 to San Francisco. The moral of the story is that the Packers drafting BPA is a myth. The Packers will select the best player available as long as he adds depth/competitiveness to a position that is viewed as weak. Thompson's recent 1st round picks indicate this trend, and I fully expect it to continue next month. TL;DR: Don't expect to see Johnny Football in green and gold next season.

People love when things are exclusive to them, or a small number of people. That's why expensive cars, diamond rings, and large amounts of money are valued. Not everyone has access to these things. TL;DR - The lesser of something, the higher the value.

Based on my extensive experience with Harvest Moon 64: different crops grow at different rates. Speeding up plants that take longer to develop (we'll say about 3 minutes each day) will, over time, lead to a yield quicker than others without his help. So there were 2 assumptions in there: (1) dude can make plants grow slightly faster multiple times and (2) the plant in question has a long enough maturation rate. With minimal thinking, I'm doubting that 3 weeks is reasonable, but let's carry on. So, the issue with (1) is that, if he can make it grow multiple times, why is it limited to just once a day? And why just 3 minutes per day? Did he mean 3 minutes/day, or just 3 minutes over the course of the plant's life? (Let's assume the first, since it's more fun) Why can't he just grow plants instantaneously? Why can't he just channel his power constantly? We're going to handwave this and say, "Because Robin Williams said so." Now comes the fun part. What plant could possibly give you close to 3 weeks saved? There are 7 days in a week. There are 24 hours in a day. There are 60 minutes in an hour. By math magic, we have that there are 30,240 minutes in 3 weeks. That turns out to being roughly 21 years of using the power every day. Planets that live longer than 2 years are called [perennials]( So I guess the best you could do is plan the long con with some farmers. So now the real question: how would this affect a particular crop per cycle? The [growing season]( is roughly late March to October. 30 days in April, 31 in My, 30 in June, 31 in July and August, and 30 in September. This comes out to 183 days. That's 549 minutes saved, or about 9 hours. **TL:DR:** So yeah, the best this power is good for is probably just increasing your harvest time by a few hours.

You can buy a roll of TP for about .99 cents. There is roughly 200 sheets per roll. Lets say you take a crap once a day, you will need about 10 sheets to wipe on a average. If you live to be 90 years old there is 32850 days in your life. 10 sheets of TP for 32850 days is 328500 sheets in your life. 328500 sheets divided by 200 times .99 cents would be... 1626.07 DOLLARS! **tl;dr You would save $1626.07.**

I don't think "red pill" is so much *about* sexual strategy as it is the sexual strategy is *evidence* of red pil theory. I'd argue that this is *why* "inner game fluff" tends to leak. Truely understanding RP does take some mental masturbation to get your head around. This is because the red pill can be used as one sees fit. Game, Spinning plates, it's an *exercise*, not the end in and of itself. It's a whetting stone, if you will. Once you understand RPT, you can get any kind of girl you want and keep her as long as you want. Going out to the bar/club is a pain in the ass, tbh. I hate that shit for so many reasons. I've done it, I'll do again, but I still don't enjoy it. Some of that to do with the kind of options (or lack thereof) for venue in my area without driving at least an hour. I want pussy I can fuck at *least* three times a week if not a day. RP does work in LTRs but I won't argue one bit that they're far more inclined to dull your game than sharpen it. **TL;DR** - Unless you're old school Mormon, when you're in an LTR, you don't spin plates. When you don't spin plates, you got nothin' but inner game. If your LTR aint puttin' out, *put her out* and go spin plates, ya dullard.

I was in a similar position OP. (The one in my post-history is not the idea.. just an idea I had I work on in my spare time) I felt I had a great idea, and to be honest it still is a great idea, but it took a lot of tweaking to make it better, and that tweaking comes from others advice and inputs. Took the plunge and decided to start sharing my idea with people, the result was 3 meetings with VCs in a week.. so seriously, share your idea with anyone who will listen. The first meeting didn't go very well, but I was able to email the VC afterwards and he provided me with a detailed breakdown of everything that was wrong with my pitch.. the the next meeting went much better, he claimed it wasn't in his sweet spot but he loved the idea.. he then sent the pitch to two other people who got in contact with me.. I've yet to meet them though. The third pitch went GREAT, using the advice and experience I acquired from the previous two meetings, the next meeting spanned over 3 hours and ended up with me being introduced to all the managing partners, as well as many parts of their team. tldr; the benefits of sharing your idea far outweigh the benefits of holding it to yourself. Criticism is key to improvement, and every time you share your idea with someone you improve your pitch. PM me if you have any questions, I'd love to hear what your working on.

I think your concept is okay. But the simple execution is flawed. I'm from Chicago I have met the man and am a huge huge fan of his music. However visually, whether it be his clothing/shoe design, donda brand or his music videos or pretty much getting dressed the man is a damn fool. He has a full team behind him that supports him every step of the way. Virgil Abloh dam near made Kanye who he is a brand and powerhouse (visually) and is still killing helping build chance the rappers image, been trill boys, and his brand and store RSVP. KANYE REALLY THINKS HES A BETTER DESIGNER THEM HEIDI SLIMAINE. That Bound video was terrible and it was because he had a whole lot a lot a lot of input into it. Like I said he just really needs to stick to making music. Still love yeezys doe. tldr: Kanye is a amazing producer and mediocre (at best) when it come to anything visual.

I don't think that was Finn's dad. I remembering reading about some people's theories of how that really wasn't Billy in the sky and it was the Lich. As we saw this episode, The Lich has just been chilling in Prismo's time room, probably plotting on ways to get his powers back. I think it was his plan along. So he appears to Finn as Billy, who wasn't a magical being, tells him his dad is alive, knowing that Finn would try and find him. And since Jake's been partying there, I'm sure he said things in front of the Lich that helped him with his plan. TL;DR Wasn't Finn's dad. The Lich just fooled him into helping him release a super evil army.

The key is to not take them too seriously. Treat the situation with the same amount of patience and good humor as you would if you were trying to teach a toddler trigonometry, or a puppy to play poker. You're dealing with someone who has the same level of logic and reasoning ability. Smile and have a good time. The worst thing you could ever do is lose your composure and lash out, or get frustrated. Remember, it isn't the tard you are trying to teach, they are already too far gone, it's those around the tard who would be foolish enough to fall for the standard tard spiel. If you want a good role model you should take a look at Mick West from [Metabunk]( He runs one of the best and most polite debunking forums on the net, and it's all due to his patience and politeness. He has some rabid chemtards and psychotic troofers attacking him daily on there, and his responses are always so cool, calm and collected. He and the members there go up against the big names in all of the major conspiracy theories, from that "chemtrail whistleblower" Kristen Meghan, (who incidentally wound up admitting in her debunking thread that she wasn't even blowing the whistle on "chemtrails" but on the improper storage and handling of chemicals at the base she was assigned to,) up to the founders of both the Pilots for 9/11 Truth movement and the Architects &amp; Engineers for 9/11 Truth. These folks come on there and present their best evidence of 100% TROOF for debunking, and the whole purpose of debunking is NOT to disprove their theory, merely to remove the pieces of it that aren't true by using factual evidence. If you take the claims made by CTers and remove all of the bunk and the made-up bullshit then you win, whether their theory is ultimately disproved based on that alone or whether it still stands. If the truth is the only thing left after the dust settles then everyone wins. TL;DR - Don't take it too seriously, have fun, be polite, don't try to disprove theories but do try to destroy the bullshit with facts.

I'm going to post one of my comments from a [previous thread]( on this matter: --------------------- As a Catholic with a sacramental worldview, I believe that God reveals/communicates himself in and through the world (mediation). Thus, I believe that we can have a mediated experiences of God through earthly things like sunsets, relationships, praying, etc. which are often accompanied by awe-inspired "feelings." God created a good world, and while sin is present within it, Catholicism doesn't view creation as utterly depraved. We can and ought to affirm God's sacramental presence when we do encounter it. That said, I'd be very wary of identifying any such feelings with God's presence, the Holy Spirit, etc., in a 1-to-1 sort of way. Even more so, I'd strongly warn against rendering one's spiritual life an attempt to attain such "highs." We can get great "feelings" from all sorts of phenomena, some of which don't have much to with God and are more the product of emotional manipulation. About 10 years ago, I heard a Baptist theologian (at an academic presentation on the Catholic author Flannery O'Connor) say that it's for precisely this reason that he respects the Catholic liturgy so much. Too often, he complained, congregations at mega-churches and communities like them make the center (literally, at the middle of a stage) of their worship a big screen displaying emotionally-charged lyrics in a powerpoint presentation, perhaps accompanied by a band underneath it playing the music. I'll never forget the comparison he made: "I see that big screen and I always think, 'liturgical pornography.' It's a false stimulation of feelings which are a cheap substitution for the genuine thing." **TL;DR** - good feelings can certainly accompany spiritual experiences, but don't turn your spiritual life into a quest for "highs" lest you end up getting them in a cheap way. Quick follow-up -- I'm fairly confident that the Baptist theologian was [Ralph Wood]( There is an article from [First Things (1998)]( where Wood writes, &gt;An anti-doctrinal sentimentality often rules the worship and the art of our churches, where self-serving emotions are exalted over true mystery. The church of our time needs a theology that repudiates all saccharine substitutes for the hard thinking that Christian faith requires. &gt; &gt;As in so many other matters, Flannery O'Connor foresaw our reduction of transcendent faith to sentimental subjectivity. She likened it to the scientific process whereby the wings can be bred off chickens to produce more succulent white meat. O'Connor said that it is possible to breed the moral and theological sense out of people in a similar way. She described our current generation as a brood of wingless chickens. &gt; &gt;[...] &gt; &gt;Such loss of awe and mystery, such commodification of God into the service of our own needs, flattens the imagination of wonder and otherness. If God is only a kinder and gentler version of ourselves, there is nothing ultimate to inspire our worship or command our service. No wonder that Flannery O'Connor likened sentimentality in religion to pornography in art: they both cultivate immediate sensate experience for its own sake.

About 10 years ago, I heard a Baptist theologian (at an academic presentation on the Catholic author Flannery O'Connor) say that it's for precisely this reason that he respects the Catholic liturgy so much. Too often, he complained, congregations at mega-churches and communities like them make the center (literally, at the middle of a stage) of their worship a big screen displaying emotionally-charged lyrics in a powerpoint presentation, perhaps accompanied by a band underneath it playing the music. I'll never forget the comparison he made: "I see that big screen and I always think, 'liturgical pornography.' It's a false stimulation of feelings which are a cheap substitution for the genuine thing." TL;DR - good feelings can certainly accompany spiritual experiences, but don't turn your spiritual life into a quest for "highs" lest you end up getting them in a cheap way. Quick follow-up -- I'm fairly confident that the Baptist theologian was Ralph Wood ]( where Wood writes, >An anti-doctrinal sentimentality often rules the worship and the art of our churches, where self-serving emotions are exalted over true mystery. The church of our time needs a theology that repudiates all saccharine substitutes for the hard thinking that Christian faith requires. > >As in so many other matters, Flannery O'Connor foresaw our reduction of transcendent faith to sentimental subjectivity. She likened it to the scientific process whereby the wings can be bred off chickens to produce more succulent white meat. O'Connor said that it is possible to breed the moral and theological sense out of people in a similar way. She described our current generation as a brood of wingless chickens. > >[...] > >Such loss of awe and mystery, such commodification of God into the service of our own needs, flattens the imagination of wonder and otherness. If God is only a kinder and gentler version of ourselves, there is nothing ultimate to inspire our worship or command our service. No wonder that Flannery O'Connor likened sentimentality in religion to pornography in art: they both cultivate immediate sensate experience for its own sake.

I'm going to post one of my comments from a [previous thread]( on this matter: As a Catholic with a sacramental worldview, I believe that God reveals/communicates himself in and through the world (mediation). Thus, I believe that we can have a mediated experiences of God through earthly things like sunsets, relationships, praying, etc. which are often accompanied by awe-inspired "feelings." God created a good world, and while sin is present within it, Catholicism doesn't view creation as utterly depraved. We can and ought to affirm God's sacramental presence when we do encounter it. That said, I'd be very wary of identifying any such feelings with God's presence, the Holy Spirit, etc., in a 1-to-1 sort of way. Even more so, I'd strongly warn against rendering one's spiritual life an attempt to attain such "highs." We can get great "feelings" from all sorts of phenomena, some of which don't have much to with God and are more the product of emotional manipulation.

I don't think this is impossible. We all speculate about Ashley and his indifference to the club and we have ample evidence for it. However he has now appointed himself to the board together with Carr and Charnley. I assume that is because he is going to have more consistent interaction with them, potentially even getting involved with player signings more directly. The counter argument is that this could be a purely ornamental title, a sign of even fewer people with authority running the day to day. Or it may mean a slight change in his personal commitment to the club. My feelings are clear - Pardew is the major problem at the moment and Ashley is the long term problem but one I could live with for a while with a slight change in club focus. I think Pardew is an absolute patsy and has no spine or, seemingly, professional pride. Some people behave like Pardew is a great manager who is in an impossible situation. He is quite patently not, despite some adverse issues - he was a very surprising appointment and has failed in all previous jobs (admittedly failure is an occupational hazard for managers). His 5th place finish was fantastic but should not guarantee his position once he has lost the dressing room. With a manager who has more respect in the game (and whose success has been based on not spending money) we may see Ashley tempted to try and get him. Remember that Ashley loves rejuvenating companies that have failed and making them make money....ok that analogy is a stretch. **TL;DR** A gurning pardew will be talking to SD News on the first day of the season after every paper in the World was banned from St James, talking about what a strong 15 man squad we have and how "we'd love to get a couple of bodies *over the line* if the right player becomes available....but Shola has looked 'triffic in training"

Not a plot hole exactly, but something that makes the story a little odd. Anna has "ice" in her heart, and can be saved only by an act of true love. What would make sense is if Elsa made some sort of self-sacrifice out of love for Anna. But this isn't what happened, instead Anna made an act of self-sacrifice to *Elsa* which means Anna basically just saved herself from Elsa's accident. Aside from the fact that Elsa really couldn't have been in danger (she can produce ice spikes for crying out loud), Elsa never really improves as a person by learning from mistakes. Elsa's story is basically: She has a dangerous power she can't control, she causes trouble and runs away and hides. She says, "welp, the damage is done, might as well go crazy with it." and discovers she can do some cool stuff with this power. But she still keeps lurking, until later when Anna saves herself by an unnecessary act of sacrifice, when Elsa is like, "Hey that's it, love! I can melt ice through love!". But shouldn't *Elsa* have been the one to learn this lesson herself, rather than just seeing it happen with Anna? **TL;DR** Elsa should have had to save Anna through self-sacrifice, instead of the other way around.

Hi all, Sorry if this is an oft recurring question, but here goes: It's getting late in the spring, I am a CS freshman, and I would like to get a decent internship. Do I have any chance? What can I do to improve my chances? **Education**: I am going to Colgate University which is quite good, though not particularly known for its CS program. I took CS 101 (Python) [A] last semester and am finishing up 102 (Data Structures in Java) [projected A / A-] now. My overall GPA after last semester is just above an A-, though it might fall to around 3.5 after this semester finishes. **Special circumstances**: I am quite a bit older, having spent 10 years in the military before starting school. My job in the military had nothing to do with CS, however I have some very solid (and verifiable) skills in team leadership, training, and getting stuff done through out-of-the box thought and action. I feel like all of this should set me apart from the field - hopefully in a good way. **Lateness**: I did not intend to try for a CS internship this summer, until I recently heard that it might be possible. Now I am very keen to get one, since I would be actively developing my skills and advancing towards my goal, instead of doing work that pulls me back to my past. **Programs**: From what I understand, it is already too late for most of the programs that cater to freshmen / not-too-technical like the Microsoft Explore, or the Google Policy Fellowships. Any suggestions for a place that might look at an application that is quite far out of the cookie-cutter mold and view it on its own merits, rather than comparing it to the cookie-cutter checklist? **tl;dr**: Now that it is almost summer, I want to get a CS intership as a rising sophomore. What can I do to best improve my chances?

Mosh pit, I think Warp tour in '05 or '06. Can't remember what band was playing. Big circle pit, never moshed in my life, but from watching it seemed straightforward, so lets fucking do it. Running around jumping and headbanging like an idiot, enjoying the music, when BANG. Headfirst into this big white bald guy. Moment of pause as his buddies considered what happened. We look at each other, do a bro hug, and get back to moshing. Rest of the concert was awesome. TL;DR headbutted what looked like a skinhead but was just a fellow music lover. Warp tour might not be pure 'metal,' but the community spirit is the same (i think). . Bro-hugged it out and moshed on. 'twas awesome.

Emery is one of the best backups in the league and rarely lets in soft goals. Would I rather have Mason playing? Of course, but only if he's healthy. Injured Mase can't give us the kind of performance that Razor did on Sunday. Emery can't make those post to post highlight reel saves, but he's so positionally sound and more importantly, he has a great history against the Rangers. I don't want to see Mason in the press box much longer, but I trust Emery to get the job done while he heals up. Plus in all honesty, Razor's been better than Mase down the stretch. While Mason has more dominant hot streaks, he's also worse when he's cold. **Tl;dr** Yeah we can definitely trust him

Id say half and half. Some men are shallow and some aren't. I want to workout cause the only day I did it, I enjoyed it. It was refreshing. I'm about 30-40 pounds overweight and want to drop it and perhaps get some muscle. And yes there have been guys I wanted to workout for and who said, "Hit me up if you ever lose some weight." I now realize that's the wrong mindset to have. First of all, if someone really likes you, they'll want you period (Assholes don't respond saying THERE IS A LIMIT! I know and most people Ive seen are everyday slighly overweight people who get told you this bullshit). Anyways, those past guys I really don't want anything to do with. They were sweet/into me until they saw my body. And they don't want me until I drop some pounds? Yeah fuck em. I'm not gonna change myself for you, I'll do it for myself. There have been a few guys who actually were just concerned for my health and bless them, but they knew if I were to do it, Id have to do it for myself. Working out should only be done because YOU want to work on your physical body. If you like how you look, power to ya. Don't workout cause some hot guy isn't impressed with the you now. Tldr; Work out for yourself, to be healthy, to achieve the body you want, not because you want some guy to notice you or somebody wants you to change for them and it's the only way they'll be with you.

The issue isn't one of "So my miner was used by BFL for 24 hours before they shipped it to me. Big deal.", it's one of lying to customers. Constantly. BFL have said constantly that they do not use the Blockchain to mine, but they use the Testnet in order to not affect the difficulty. Now we find out that's a big fat lie. Furthermore they're using customer ASICs to generate bitcoin for themselves, whilst also gathering fees from miners after they ship. Basically, customers are paying for a device. BFL are then using that device to generate BTC for themselves (and lying about it), whilst also collecting fees from the pool. I would say that's a big deal. In short customer gets screwed over multiply times by BFL, especially as they (now proven) caused the difficulty to rise at the detriment of their customers. **TL/DR:** It actually is a big deal.

This might be a silly question in the age of the internet, but do you know about the hidden mickeys? If by chance you haven't, do a google search and look for sites that give hints to their whereabouts. As someone who was married to a Disney Employee, you have to find ways to make visit #197 entertaining and I found that through seeking out some of the "hidden gems" like u/tikiroomofprogress mentioned. I'd also recommend reading the small tour books that were done by the Imagineers. They have them for each of the major parks. You can read them before the trip to get yourself geared up or use it in the park to learn neat facts as you take a somewhat guided tour :) I'd also recommend reading the book "Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination" ( I thought it was a very facinating story and once again it got me itching to go back to Disneyworld, hehe. Good luck and I would say to not worry about Space Mountain this time and still have it be exciting for your younger sisters. Oh, also try to collect all of the crushed pennies in the park. Those can be fun to track down :) TL:DR Go have fun!

You can read them before the trip to get yourself geared up or use it in the park to learn neat facts as you take a somewhat guided tour :) I'd also recommend reading the book "Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination" ( I thought it was a very facinating story and once again it got me itching to go back to Disneyworld, hehe. Good luck and I would say to not worry about Space Mountain this time and still have it be exciting for your younger sisters. Oh, also try to collect all of the crushed pennies in the park. Those can be fun to track down :)

Go have fun!

ask people in the lobby if theyre okay with u farming flare, just becuse ur farming flare doesnt mean u shouldnt try to gank bot when u see the enemy pushed on ur turret and ur doing a camp right across the wall, go there, show presence, if u get a kill okay, if not fuck it, theyl play more cautiously knowing ur somewhere there and willing to come. If your team says theyre not willing to allow that because the enemy team has an elise or something, then be considerate knowing everyone of ur lanes could lose just because of elise and play someone like eve,kha, lee or panth. tl;dr: ask ur team in the lobby if theyre okay with it because not every players gonna get their lane of choice and not everyones gonna get to counter the other, and if not, theres plenty of other junglers to choose from that dont rely on ff

&gt;The /r/Android circlejerk is real You don't say? You made a good point then killed your chances of being taken seriously by coming across as beyond butthurt. There is a reason people circlejerk over these devices - they're *good*. Yeah, the N5 had build issues and the camera's pretty poor but it's got specs that still keep up with the competition for about half the price. The point you're making is that a vocal minority on /r/Android will buy anything with a Google logo on it without so much as pausing to remove their lips from Larry Page's throbbing member. And you're right, but it's a *vocal minority*. The Nexus 5 is a good device, the circlejerk is real, but not as bad as it was a couple of years back. I mod /r/androidcirclejerk and there's been less posts poking fun at what people have said on here recently, in my opinion. I'm sure the OnePlus One competition was an honest mistake. tl;dr buy phones, be happy. Hate is the path to the iShills.

Meh. Until I can have the brand new content at the same time as regular HBO subscribers, I'm not excited. Allow me to watch Game of Thrones (or whatever show is your thing) via Prime on Sunday night at 9 PM Eastern, same as everyone else, and we're golden. I'd even pay a small premium ($0.99/episode seems fair) on top of my regular Prime to do this. I'd still pay money to HBO/Prime to see the content, AND save money by not having to subscribe to HBO when all I really want is their original programming. TL; DR: Gimme new streaming content at the same time as reg. subscribers. I'd even pay a little more for it.

Well actually he did do a miracle in the midst of the violence between the disciples and the guards. One of the disciples cut of a high priest's ear, and Jesus said, permit me this, and healed his ear. then allowed them to take him away. Luke 22:51 But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him. So that's one miracle. And in John 18:4-6 "Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground." We see here that when Jesus said I am he, the soldiers fell backward flat on their backs. they were so terrified they asked again a couple verses down. this is a side note and not with my post but I've always wondered why in the other three he just heals the ear and this is left out, but John makes sure to include the fact that The same words His Father spoke in Exodus (I am) And when Jesus says I am, they fall back as if the divinity pretty much lept out of his mouth and smacked them. **TL;DR Jesus performed two acts, one a miracle of healing, and the other a declaration of his divinity.**

well I can't give any decent explanation as to how it works, I can tell you that here in the MidWest, this is the BEST stuff you can hope to recieve. it usually begins as a mid gradient brown powder similar to Nesquick in texture, then add a little moisture with a few deep, slow exhales. begin forming between a plastic baggy with fingertips until it slowly turns a dark dark brown and becomes sticky. hold to nostrils to insure its nice n sour and put that bad boy on some shine and enjoy the chase. what's nice about getting the powder and "cooking" it yourself is that you actually get MORE when weighed out compared to already premade pieces. even if you plan to bang it you still want to turn it into tar or the powder wont dissolve completely and you'll end up with powder floating in your spoon which is a pain in the ass to mix, again similar to powder Nesquick when making delicious chocolate milk. great stuff though. TL; DR: The huffable powder makes me happy. Always top choice if given the option.

I rotate through boards enough that I don't really make use of the programming layer on the Poker II, and on the FN layer I mostly just use the arrow keys, print screen, calculator and the F keys, so switching between the two isn't hard. The Leopold has print screen in a diff spot &amp; no calculator shortcut, but I much prefer the actual arrow keys on it to FN+WASD on the Poker, and the Topre switch is just so nice that I want to type everything on my Leopold. I also like the FN+arrows as Home/End/PgUp/PgDn on the Leopold more than the Poker's layout. Cherry Blue was my first love, and Reds have become my go-to switch for gaming or extended typing sessions (lazy fingers) but imo Topre is king for general typing. I thought I was maybe just buying into the hype or justifying my purchase, so I put Blue, Red, Brown, Topre &amp; Rubberdome side by side, and Topre won over my fingers every time. I was holding out for the CM Novatouch, but EK made me a deal I couldn't refuse on an Amazon returned FC660C that looked absolutely brand new and I caved. **TL;DR** Yes, Topre makes it worth it to learn multiple layouts and the FC660C is very well put together.

Hey, a question I can answer! I was in your position about a month ago and upgraded from a Radeon HD 2900XT (!) to a [Gigabyte R9 270x OC 4GB]( I love it. It was actually USD $50+ more than I'd promised myself I'd spend, but it's been worth it. I haven't *ever* had a rig that could mine coins or play graphics-intensive games, so this is a mindblowing upgrade for me. Power consumption is max 180W [[1]( and averages &lt; 150W while mining [[2]( unless you over-volt [[3]( It requires two 6-pin power connectors, and it's recommended to have a 500W PSU. R9 270 power draw is 150W max, requiring only one 6-pin connector. The rest of [the specs are really similar]( **Dogecoin Mining Stats:** cgminer.exe --scrypt -I 16 -g 1 -w 512 --thread-concurrency 15232 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500 cgminer.conf Contains the Following: "gpu-fan" : "30-90", "temp-cutoff" : "90", "temp-overheat" : "80", "temp-target" : "70", "auto-fan" : true, With these settings, I achieve 468 KH/s; the GPU stays at around 68°C (154°F) with the [fans running]( at a modest 2600 RPM (ambient temp 70°F, 21°C). That said, currently the ventilation in my case *sucks*, so YMMV. I'm sure I could squeeze out more KH/s with -I 19, overclocking voltage and/or clock speeds, or raising the max temp, but this card's gotta last me a few years so I feel I'm getting my money's worth. **TL;DR** For my money, since I'm gaming *and* mining, the Gigabyte 270X is worth it. If you're planning to run two cards and/or dedicate a lot of time strictly to mining, though, the total combined max power consumption of 60W fewer on 2 x 270s could make it the better buy. Hope that helps shibe!

I am glad for you man. You have a healthy sex drive, you are a good family man, you ve sacrificed a lot to be in this relationship and congratulations for that. I am not going to tell you to quit that relationship because I understand that this is a major decision and easier said than done. You are already exposing yourself to so much sadness and I am sure you have your reasons to stay. However, what I am advicing you is to do some scenario planning. You are counting on her too much and she has already let you down and hurt you. Dont rely on her. SHe is a shitty wife. Again, I am not telling you to divorce her. Thats up to you. But where do you see yourself in a few years from now? What happens if she decides to live? What happens if you completely neglect your career, focus on your family and she decides one day to take your family away? Thats right. Some scenarios could really leave you with absolutely nothing. And I'd say such scenarios sound really plausible. So what happens now? You prepare for these scenarios. Allow me to speak in Batman terms. Batman's is simply a dude who prepares for everything. In Arkham Asylum he plants explosives at some random point. Much later in the game, he uses that place to trap the Killer Croc. In Arkham City a gigantic monster is about to punch him but he wont budge? [As seen here]( In Dark Knight Rises he burns the bat logo on a building. People complain how he didn t have the time do so after he escaped jail. Who told you he did it AFTER? He relies on intimidation. For all Gotham's citizens know, there might be an army of Batmen. Even Baybe probably wtfed when he saw the burning logo. So enough about the off topic. That was just a case study. What do you do when your wife tells you she ll get your child? BAM bitch proof of infidetily. I ll take your ass to court. What happens when your wife kicks you out? BAM bitch! I can survive on my own. I have a career. I am not a psychologist, but it seems that sometimes when people take someone for granted they become abusive. If she knows you rely on her too much this will give her the power to act and do whatever she wants. It is a pretty common phenomenon actually. Many people become abusive after marriage or after a child is born, when it is harder for the other person to leave, divorce, break up. **TLDR**: Be Batman.

What happens if you completely neglect your career, focus on your family and she decides one day to take your family away? Thats right. Some scenarios could really leave you with absolutely nothing. And I'd say such scenarios sound really plausible. So what happens now? You prepare for these scenarios. Allow me to speak in Batman terms. Batman's is simply a dude who prepares for everything. In Arkham Asylum he plants explosives at some random point. Much later in the game, he uses that place to trap the Killer Croc. In Arkham City a gigantic monster is about to punch him but he wont budge? [As seen here]( In Dark Knight Rises he burns the bat logo on a building. People complain how he didn t have the time do so after he escaped jail. Who told you he did it AFTER? He relies on intimidation. For all Gotham's citizens know, there might be an army of Batmen. Even Baybe probably wtfed when he saw the burning logo. So enough about the off topic. That was just a case study. What do you do when your wife tells you she ll get your child? BAM bitch proof of infidetily. I ll take your ass to court. What happens when your wife kicks you out? BAM bitch! I can survive on my own. I have a career. I am not a psychologist, but it seems that sometimes when people take someone for granted they become abusive. If she knows you rely on her too much this will give her the power to act and do whatever she wants. It is a pretty common phenomenon actually. Many people become abusive after marriage or after a child is born, when it is harder for the other person to leave, divorce, break up.

Be Batman.

I don't like the comparison the article is trying to make between this generation and generations past, but I can agree with the message. Here is the TLDR version for you... If you go to a festival, PICK UP YOUR FUCKING TRASH, please.

Um yes, yes it is a symbol of racism. The United States has a problematic history, sure, and slavery was part of that history. But the Confederate States only existed at all to fight for slavery. It was a nation birthed on the principle that nobody ought to be able to tell them to stop owning slaves, and it spent its entire existence fighting an unwinnable war for the "right" to legally own slaves. Pretty much every major federal political crisis of the preceding decade or two was caused by squabbling between abolitionist and pro-slavery factions, every important southerner and his dog cited the threat to the institution of slavery as the South's main reason for seceding, and the South spent the whole war playing on fears of nationwide abolition as a propaganda tool. TLDR version: the Confederate Flag is the symbol of a rebellion by people who were terrified that the federal government would make it illegal to buy and sell black people. It is racist as fuck.
