I'm new to collecting - can I get some advice?

"Hey guys,\n\nMy parents bought me several LEGO sets for birthdays and whatnot when I was younger, some of which I recently reacquired, and now I'm looking to add something more to my old collection.

I've looked long and hard at that 3000-piece Death Star model everyone seems to love so much, but I just don't have that much money to spend, and I'm looking for a set or sets that would be just a little bit easier to dismantle and build into other things.\n\nAny advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated."

"Okay, so I know this is in my head but maybe getting it out will help me or maybe you guys/gals will have some advice...\n\nSo I've been seeing this girl for a little over 2 months and everything is going great. We're both in our mid/mid-late twenties (26-f/27-m) and having a lot of fun though, admittedly, we’ve moved quickly – it’s just felt right. \n\nShe's said that she was falling in love with me (I reciprocated and feel it too) but then she felt a little overwhelmed by the speed and seriousness of things (she got hurt really badly by her ex which ended a little over a yr ago) and pulled back. We talked it out, everything is fine and it feels like we're solid and moving forward and growing together -- we've really opened up to each other.\n\nLast week, she went on vacation with a friend--they'd been planning it for a while--but I can't stop thinking about her all the time! She's mentioned that they've been meeting a lot of guys there (her friend is single and she’s been playing the role of wingman). I trust her completely and am not at all worried she's cheating, but it still doesn't quiet my mind from thinking that she’s deciding that she's overwhelmed by \"us\" and doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore (or wants to dial it back to casual)...\n\nBasically, I know this is all in my head but I can't get it out of there. I really like her, and with her I’m putting my heart on the line for the first time. Any ideas aside from exercise or meditation? I need a more permanent fix. I can’t be this way every time she flies to Texas for two weeks (though I feel as the relationship evolves, this probably won't happen to me).\n\n*UPDATE: Hi guys, just wanted to first off, thank everybody for their advice. I was just being insecure. It happens, I know, but thanks for being there all the same. \n\nAlso, the relationship has not only progressed but flourished. We're in love with each other. We've moved quickly, it's been just over 3 months, but it's felt right for both of us. She can be overwhelmed every now and then still, but that's not because of her feelings towards me but rather because she got burned on her last relationship and naturally thinks \"what if it doesn't work out\" and wants to protect her self...",

"Alright. I'm 25. I've never been in a relationship, never been with a woman. I've got zero experience and suck at reading people, and social situations. With that said, heres the story.\n\nI started working again 3 months ago. There is a co-worker who is 17, turning 18 soon. First day I met her we started teasing, and insulting each other, and general flirting.. She made an excuse to get my phone number after a couple weeks. We texted all the time, 50+ a day. She had an ex-bf that was friends with benefits, and she was into a guy at work, who didn't really like her. So I never really thought much of it, we were just friends having fun.\n\n After about 6 weeks I realized I really liked her. Irrational for sure, but thats how I felt. I eventually told her. We acted all awkward, didn't text or talk at work for a week. Then everything returned to normal, talked more than before. \n\nSo we kept flirting and talking as if nothing happened for several more weeks. She said again that she only wants to be friends. The next day I was taking a delivery out and she followed me 10 minutes with her friend, just to say hi, and flirt for 3 minutes. \n\nSeveral weeks later she heard from someone at work that I was talking about how I liked her. She asked me about it, and she acted all surprised when I told her it was true. As if it was the first time she was hearing. She enjoys teasing me about the fact I like her more than a friend. \n\nThis week I felt as If I was starting all the convos lately. So I did not initiate a conversation all week. Thursday she called me, and I ignored it. The next day she Txt me, and I didn't respond after an hour or two she told a girl at work to tell me, to text her. As I left work I txt her \"What did you need?\". She said she \"just wanted to talk\". Later that night I went drinking with some friends home for Easter, I forgot my phone in the car. Found it 3 hours later with several texts from her asking what was wrong, and a picture of her in her prom dress. \n\n\nShe constantly sits near me, leans up against me, bumps into me, hits me, sits on the table next to me, dresses nice. She stands really close when we talk. Laughs at everything I say. . She also talks to my cousin who she goes to school with, and co-workers about how much fun I am. Co-workers have on several times asked if we are dating, or call us love bird or what not, at which point we usually laugh it off, she gets defensives sometimes. Oh and she also acts jealous when I talk about other girls. \n\nI am completely socially inept. Never in my life felt this way about someone, and never felt this confident around a person in my life. I am a better person when I am around her, but I have no intentions of risking our friendship for something more. I am happy enough with the way it is now, I just wish I didn't feel so confused. \n\nSorry if the story is hard to follow, I can do calculus but have dropped english 101 no less than 3 times. \n\n\nEdit. Dont know if this maybe should be in /Relationships but w/e im high as fuck.",

"In 2006, a friend showed me a game called Runescape. I quickly became addicted to it and gobbled up thousands of hours of gameplay until about a year ago. For some reason, I just didn't feel like playing it very often. Then I didn't feel like playing it except during special \"holiday events\". By the time 2011 came around, I simply didn't want to play it at all. Maybe it was because I had become so interested in Minecraft. Back then, I didn't understand why I was losing interest. But now, I don't understand why I was ever interested. Runescape is a game that requires a ton of time, and perhaps I decided I didn't want to invest all my time in something that wasn't fun anymore.\n\nWhich brings me to my question:\n**Why isn't Runescape fun anymore?** \n\nWhen I started playing it, I had never enjoyed a game that much before, but now, I'd rather play E.T. on Atari. What happened? Why was Runescape so much more fun to me then than it is now?\n\nPerhaps any of you who have played Runescape or know about it can answer this.",

Looking for a good Terran Streamer? Here are my thoughts on a few.
| 1 | 3 |
[
"Since it's hard to find one that streams all the time I've come up with this list of Terrans I've watched on from TL's List.\n\nTrump There isn't a better Terran to learn from than Trump. He plays calmly, and his commentary combined with his play can you show you the power of solid macro and good decision making. I kind of see him as the Terran philosopher as is commentary isn't so much telling you what to do, but him asking himself. \n\nSterling - Good commentary, Great fan interaction and GM play on NA ladder, and occasionally Masters Korean. Medium quality stream, but it's a minor cost to pay when you think about what you can learn from him.\n\nLiquid'TLO - Not much on Commentary, but one of the most entertaining players to watch ever. His play is outside of the box and yet still solid. \n\nLiquid'Jinro - Say what you will about his recent slump, the man still provides some of the highest level of play on the Korean Ladder when it comes to streamers. Little to No commentary but you are bound to find out about some music you like but have never heard of.\n\nSarenS - Fortunately for me I've had a lot of experience with french, so although not-fluent I can pick up most of what he's saying. Language aside, He demonstrates some very high level play on the EU ladder. \n\nIf I haven't listed somebody it's because I haven't watched them enough to feel like I can make an accurate opinion."

Only me and three others know, and unfortunately no one in her family, so they are still family friends. Her mother, who seems like the nicest lady, even found her diary, which obviously to this day still has his name in most entries, and yelled at her for writing such things. He visits their house every once in a while still to this day. He still tries to control her, telling her that anyone she tells won't love her anymore, etc. I want nothing more than to find him and kick the living shit out of him. \n\nShe told me a couple years back when we were dating, and when she did I broke down, didn't want to talk about, cried. I was a coward. She was looking for help from me but I didn't know what to do. For a month I couldn't sleep at night, was always thinking about it. I did hours and hours of research, how to help, where to bring her for help, etc. but I could never get up the courage to bring up the subject. Eventually we planned a night to talk about, I let her just rant and describe to me all the memories she had. They were very vivid, and needless to say it was one of the hardest conversations I've had.

You guys really are amazing.\n\n With that said, I've noticed that this subreddit receives posts from redditors who quit smoking anywhere from 6 months to 5 minutes ago. My primary concern is that people may feel like a nuisance reposting every day if they happen to be having a particularly difficult time coping without smoking. \n\nThus I thought of a project that r/stopsmoking may be interested in. It consists of a group of redditors who would all agree to quit on a pre-determined date in the future, where people could talk to, and motivate one another on a daily basis. The central idea being that everyone is on the same page with everyone else. \n\nI suppose this platform would work best on another subreddit to avoid overwhelming this place with its posts. I should emphasize this is in no way an alternative to this great place, but merely a monthly or biannual activity that this subreddit could organize for its members and the reddit populace at large. \n\nIn any case, this is just an idea I've had for a little while, and I welcome comments and criticisms. Thanks for hearing me out :)\n\n\nEDIT: Looks like we're getting some interest in this idea- thanks again to the great mods here and over at r/health!. Don't hesitate to propose an idea if you have one. I truly think with our individual posts, as well as updates as to how your body has changed since smoking cessation, we all have a good chance of beating this. I'm also a neurophysiologist, so I could post brain stuff if anyone is interested. We'll try and come up with a date tomorrow - it's 11pm right now, and I have enough ethics proposals to look over tonight fill a cabinet."

"Hello Redditors,\n\nI am a suburban white male in the USA.\nI grew up in a household were no chores were required of me. Anything I wanted from my parents was generally granted. I would say I was a bit spoiled, but I never asked them for too much of anything (except for more time to play videogames). I did the minimum amount of work in school to do well enough (B+, A- student). I have never really taken pride in anything, or felt compelled to do my best. Played an instrument for 10 years and got competent at it, but not proficient. I have never held any sort of \"official\" job that was more than 10 hours a week.\n\nNow it is a couple years into college. I have recently tried to change my habits, trying to develop physically healthy routines, eat right, expand my mind, etc. but my attempts at these usually fail after the first week or so. I am pretty good at mind hacking myself - I'm an atheist so I don't have any \"faith\" to discipline me. I always eat the cookie before dinner and ruin my appetite.\n\nHonestly, I'm sure I could do some interesting things if I could just sustain my mind on any one thing, but I seem to be a jack-of-all-trades, master of none sort. After a few months it seems even my most passionate interests become banal and I lose interest and move on to the next thing. The only thing that I have been interested in since I can remember is socializing. I really enjoy storytelling and the company of others. I think its really exciting when you have a complex conversation with someone which inspires you to see a subject from a perspective that would have never occurred to you. Being a raconteur is the closest thing I have to a consist passion, but I have no idea what to do with it.\n\nSometimes I fantasize about joining the military. Not to fight or for any ideological reason, just because I imagine that being in bootcamp might whip me into shape, and give a mental framework for developing a habit or discipline if I want to. I feel a little guilty, because I realize that a lot of other people in the world didn't have the option of not developing discipline. It was either figure out self control or die. Or for some people it was just die. I am too fortunate.\nI also fantasize about a zombie apocalypse, just so I could call on myself to DO something, be dedicated to anything.\n\n***TL;DR*** I grew up as a spoiled white kid who hasn't ever had to work hard in his life. Now in my early twenties, I am trying to teach myself the self-discipline I didn't learn growing up. Any suggestions?",
"He has a good job, within walking distance from our house. He dose not make much, it barely keeps us afloat but would do A LOT more if he would stop job hunting. It is a full time job though, and it is very promising that he will be getting a promotion soon. He is a hard worker and not in danger of being laid-off. \n\n\nHe spends LOADS of money on gas and car repairs for his POS because he keeps driving it (and for the past 8 months illegally, just threw $200 in it to make it pass inspection) to be dragged around in circles. Every job he applies for EVERY SINGE ONE turns out to be commission only jobs, or they don't hire him. He usually has to drive 3 to 4 hours away EACH interview and they want like 3. One company in particular is bad. He used to work for them too, and he was rich just like them. About every month and a half they call him and tell him they have another job for him, he goes for 3 interviews there each time. This has been going on for a year now. Sometimes in an office 3 hours away, sometimes 4 hours away. He does not seem to understand they are just making a game of him. His old co-workers probably point and laugh out the window at him. I wish he would stop. If I were a rich person in an office I would think it quite funny to watch the poor man wearing an old suit drive a squealing and sputter old kia and park it next to my Bently. Then on the way out watch him try to, unsuccessfully the first few times, start his car. Then when he puts it in reverse it shuts off and to watch him try to start it again. \n\n\nIf he wants to spend $50+ a week on gas and bout $150 a month on repairs to goto the places I would rather see him buy lottery tickets. Higher chance of a payout and less wear and tear on that car. We have a child on the way soon, all this money on repairs for that car because he puts so many miles on it and all that gas money could seriously help with buying some second hand stuff like a crib, clothes and other things we desperately need to survive even.\n\n\nHis choice or not, it is now endangering myself and his child. What I would not give to be able to be healthy enough to work again. Then I could tell him to go screw himself because he is an idiot. I don't waste my time reaching for the stars instead of focusing on whats in front of me."

"A server where you head in, get assigned a task, and upon completion get paid in some manner. For example, there's a giant man made canyon (like max depth and 100s of blocks wide) with miners carving through the landscape, collecting stone and minerals. Once you're done, you go back to base and get paid by the stack (a diamond for every 30 stacks, as an arbitrary amount). Everyone has a lot that they can build whatever they want on, allowing people to have their own individual projects. \n\nHigher level workers, or builders, would help build huge structures, even cities and the like. Above them would be the supervisors, making sure everyone is doing the right thing. Then the designers, who do all the planning on micro-scale (ie choose the location of a mine or decide the dimensions/materials used in a building) and work out how much is needed in the way of resources, and give instructions to supervisors. At the top are a small group of people who decide on overall plans, like 'build a city here with x y and z'.\n\nYou might say that it would take out all the fun of minecraft, but I think achieving such a feat on a server would be as cool in a creative sense as a few people working on a huge building or a couple of individual projects, only on a much bigger scale. I'm a sucker for sim games, and I just think it'd be cool to simulate a small communist state in the game. \n\nYou could even have groups of rebels who exile themselves and build stuff of their own accord away from the central area. Or an entire faction who get fed up of the leaders imposing rules on them, and break away to form a rival state of their own. It sounds a bit MMO-y and it probably wouldn't work unless you were able to have at least 100 people on a server, but I think it'd be awesome to see. I've done a bad job of explaining it most likely but oh well, thoughts? I'm fully prepared to be shot down.",

For those wonder in detail how my friend put the book, which i'm not entirely sure if he read or not ( he may, he's always buying comics and graphic novels and has a vast collection). Basically though he explained that it was an alternate take on the lives with them exploring the world of sex instead of the adventures everyone knows. With that I had assumed it's possible, but they'd be of age, whereas he said it's basically underage. He never went into detail about what the plot or story behind it is, also when i mentioned how cheap it was on Amazon he jokingly did the \"Hi, this is Chris Hansen, Why don't you have a seat over there\" and that i wasn't seriously considering buying lol.",

"After discussing my options and getting some great advice from you guys I've managed to book the community room in my building to host cooking classes in exchange for offering residents their first class for free. I'm aiming to eventually do bi-weekly classes but am starting with once a month to gauge how much interest I can generate. This means I'm being allowed to use the room up to 24 times a year free of charge which is fantastic if I can gain a steady student flow. The room will accomodate a class size of 15-25 and I think I'd like to keep it around 15 people with a fee for non-residents/returning residents of $25/person for the class and some reasonable supplies fee, which would be menu dependant, this menu would be no more than $15/person. (I'm also considering offering a returning residents discount, maybe $20 rather than $25? But that's something to look at after the first class.) \n\nI've booked the room and so far the response is good. I'm limiting my first class to twenty to get a feel for it, I've taught small groups of my friends before so I'm looking not too nervous. My first menu is rather simple [Pork Chops au Poivre, Green Bean Salad with Pumpkin Seed Dressing, and Ginger-Baked Apples.] \n\nMy problem, which leads to my request is this: Though I will have a paycheck before the class I can barely afford to pay my bills/eat as it is so the initial investment for supplies is going to put me even further into trouble. I'm hoping a there's someone/a few of you that might be willing to donate/lend a few bucks towards these costs. If my first class is a success I will go from drastically behind to just slightly behind which would be a hugh boost to me. By my third class I would be out of the red on ALL my bills for the first time in almost a year.\n\nTL;DR: After seeking advice from you guys about how to improve my financial situation long term I've launched a cooking class in my building and could really use some help with the initial costs. (~$200 Canadian) \n\nEdit: If someone is willing to consider doing this as a loan I could pay it back mid-december, I\"d commit to a sooner date but honestly to keep my power on etc it would take me until then. I could do it in smaller installments sooner potentially."

If anything, it ran better when it was released on my old 2Ghz single core with a radeon x1950 pro in it. I'm sure i'm just missing some stupid tweak, and I'd bet with yesterdays sale a lot of people are having similiar issues. Thanks!",

"I started leveling a priest. My strategy is to simply park myself in Stormwind and heal my way through randoms. This weekend I went from level 20-42, doing nothing but randoms. I got to see a lot of them. \n\nUnlike random level 85 heroics, I haven't run into any fail groups and only a few douchers. But one of the things I have noticed is quite a few bots!\n\nLast night (for example) I zoned into the final instance of Scarlet Monastery. The tank, 1 dps, and I (healer) quickly make our way to the front door of the cathedral. The two lagging dps were in the lower courtyard randomly attacking mobs. We watch the two bot dps die. Then the 3 of us \"real\" players go into the cathedral and start clearing. Meanwhile, the bots get killed. The bots respawn and get themselves killed again. After the third time the bots die one says in party \"healer sucks!\" I had a good laugh at that. Ultimately we continued the instance and essentially 3manned it. The tank pulled often enough that we couldn't kick the bots.\n\nEvery time I've run into a bot the general feeling I got from the rest of the group was STFU and lets move on."

"I hope reddit can answer this, or someone can confirm my theory, as ATT is full of dumb asses, or maybe smart asses who just pretend there isn't a problem or an issue. They have just stonewalled my questions. Here's the Tl:DR upfront.\n\nTL:DR all iphones in house accumulate data charges when not in use and when connected to wifi.\n\nMy wife's Iphone has the 2Gig dataplan, the rest of us unlimited. For six months now, she has barely used 10% of the available data. Five days into the current billing cycle she gets a text from ATT that she has gone over her data limit, by 25%! I think I know what caused that, but the discovery path to finding that problem led to a lot of unexplained stuff on all my phones and my billing. \n\nOn all of the family phones (3G, 3G, 3GS, 3GS, Iphone 4) there are data charges almost every night at almost the same time. 12:01; 12:02, 12:04 for me, around 12:30 for one phone, around 3 am for another, and so on. I did diligence and there was no way any of these phones were in use at that time. My phone gets put to sleep every night at 9. I use it for business and I never answer after nine, and I am asleep by 10:30 every night. \n\nI am the heaviest user in the house. I stream all day long at work in or in the car. I see data usage charged to my phone throughout the day and sometimes it immediately follows some known usage. OK with that. But still I get charges at night time when I am asleep. Also, I have push notifications off and locations services off to preserve the battery life, as does my wife's phone. \n\nWhen you look at your ATT bill, data transfers are shown without a connect to phone number, it just says \"phone\" and they are always shown as \"sent\", so you can't tell if it was incoming or outgoing data or where it went or originated from. Seems you have to trust ATT when they tell it was data actually sent or received. \n\nI read on the web that when the Iphone is in sleep mode, the Wi-fi is disconnected. Can someone confirm this? Does every push notification received in sleep mode become a data transfer?\n\nMy theory, from looking at my last six months of bills is that ATT bills data in blocks and itemizes it as a chunk of data. It looks like they have a threshold and when you go over that, the billing program kicks in and line itemizes, then resets and starts to count again and itemizes after a certain quantity. It also seems like once you cross the itemized threshold the billing doesn't hit until you switch off the data transfer. This produces random billing increments with a wide variance. \n\nIf you don't hit the threshold, then whatever is left over is what gets billed to your account sometime in the night. \n\nSo here's a problem. You get hit with a massive data transfer, you look at the time and date (as in my wife's present case below) and you see something like this:\n\n08/11\t03:11 AM\tphone\t Internet/MEdia Net\tSent\t19248KB\n\n08/15\t03:12 AM\tphone\t Internet/MEdia Net\tSent\t2573869KB\n\nSo you call ATT and say, the phone was shut off at 3:11 in the morning, how did this charge get on the bill?\n\nATT: You must have sent or received data.\n\nMe: I have a wifi system throughout the house, why would I be using the 3G data plan when the wifi is always on.\n\nATT: You wifi must have been off.\n\nMe: Every night ??? At the same times throughout the night?? \n\nATT: It must be your phone or your phone settings. \n\nSo, is there someone on Reddit who works for ATT or Apple who can clear this up. \n\nI think the particular problem that caused my wife's plan to be exceeded is Zynga's Word With Friends app. We play it excessively. My wife mention that a few times the game would hang up on her phone and she would just have to wait for it to come back on. Now, after all this, I think the game was just sending packets of data endlessly, eating up the data plan and we didn't know it, and because of the way ATT bills, we may never know what was the problem. \n\nLast question, and just for Verizon Iphone users. Do you have unexplained data charges at night on your phone bill?",

Sometimes a dark figure can be seen watching the sufferer, often described as being \"blacker than black\" and may even call out one's name. In many cases people say they felt something forcibly holding them down on the bed or sitting on their chest by an unseen force or by said shadowy figure.\n\n\n\nCurious to see what /r/Christianity thinks about things like this."

"Hey AskReddit,\nIn one of my school classes, we were assigned into groups and sides for debates on certain topics. I was chosen to debate on the Pro side for Piracy, with the topic sentence of *\"Should file-sharing of copyright music be legalized in the music industry?\"*. The thing is, I have no conclusive arguments that go in my favor, and I only vaguely know that the opposing team is going to be using ACTA and the RIAA's statistics for arguments. \n\nTo be clear, I don't have to show that it's superior to illegalization, I just have to have a better argument than the other side (obviously, that's generally what a debate is, after all). This is for a class in high school in a county of New Jersey where the kids are, to spare them a bit, not too bright. I don't think they can have any good arguments like I might find here on reddit. In any case, this is my outreach to the community for assistance in the formulation of arguments. You don't have to link to a bunch of resources or studies, I can look that up myself (my point here is not to shirk on work). My assigned partner is a bit of a lazy ass who chooses to spend the class period... browsing Reddit. (I blame myself, I introduced him to the site prior)",
"So caveat emptor: I'm a bit of a recovering Appleholic but my livelihood is with Windows (e.g. 6-figure salary as an SA/system designer). I ditched my Macs about a year ago and now have only the iPhone and the iPad. The iPhone is probably going this summer for a Droid. Currently in terms of computers I own a pretty powerful HP laptop and a netbook I take on business trips.\r\n\r\nWhat's good about this thing:\r\n\r\n* 1: It can replace my netbook for some things. Some, not all. I don't intend to do Word processing on this thing -- that'd be nuts. It is, however, an excellent \"web slate\", even without Flash.\r\n* 2: There's an app for that -- but you probably don't need it anymore. I copied all my iPhone apps to the iPad (including iReddit). First of all, you should know that iPhone apps look like shit on this thing. However, I found I just as easily could go to Reddit and browse the site normally. Ditto with my Bank of America app.\r\n* 3: It's actually pretty nice hardware for the money. The screen is small but gorgeous. Video looks great. It has a nice feel in your hand. Battery life is insane (even if you're used to great netbook battery life. Multitouch is incredibly smooth and response.\r\n\r\nNow the sucks:\r\n\r\n* 1: Apple's software limitations. The machine is robust enough that you know it could do some decent multitasking, but you can't. There's stuff I want to throw on here but need to wait for a jailbreak (which is moronic).\r\n* 2: Apple's hardware limitations. This thing should have had a USB. It should have had a camera. There's a whole list of \"should's\" it should have had. Instead it has 1 port and buttons that really don't need to be there (you don't need a volume rocker on a tablet -- it made sense on a phone because it was usually in your pocket).\r\n* 3: iTunes bullshit: I shouldn't have to agree to the TOS 3 fucking times to download free updates. When you set up the iPad as a second device, nothing you have saved in iPhone apps gets copied over. It took 2 hours to sync my media (granted, I have it saved on a NAS, but still).\r\n\r\nAll that said...\r\n\r\nVerdict: I won't lie to you -- I have a fair amount of disposable income. If I didn't, I probably wouldn't have bought this thing. That said, for a gen 1 product it's actually pretty cool. It's a great \"living room table\" PC. Pick it up when you want to search Google, put it down. Pick it up when you want to show pictures to friends, put it down. It can't by any means replace a laptop for full-time use, but as its own league of device (not for work, just fun) it's pretty damn useful.",
"This past evening, I took my Dad out for a belated Father's Day dinner.

My teeth were tingling, my head felt floaty, and I was juuuust on the verge of feeling nauseous, although that part thankfully never got worse. I laid down for a short while, hoping the feeling would go away, and when it didn't, I took one of my dogs for a walk, just to distract myself.\n\nIt started fading about an hour later, and by two hours past I was back to normal. Ketostix show I'm currently out of ketosis. No carb cravings or anything like that.\n\nMostly, I'm posting this because what happened came as a complete shock to me. For the most part, I found getting in to keto was easy, with no flu, and maintaining the diet hasn't been a struggle either.

I went to the range and hit probably 40 shots with my PW, 25 with my 4 iron, 20 with my driver, and then I hit my last 10 balls with all those clubs. I decided what it was for each club that I needed to do. For my PW (and therefore my short irons) I wasn't compressing the ball against the ground like I usually do, and I was often sweeping the ball off the ground or hitting the ground slightly before the ball. I knew I would need to get my weight forward a tad for these shots. For my driver, it was a complete rhythm/speed thing. I think when I started hitting it bad, I began to slow down my swing. I would still bring the hips through at great speed, but my arms were WAY behind. I sped that up to be on par with my hips, and all was great. As for my 4 iron, that's not 100% solved yet. I feel it's a combo of the 2. I hit some nice shots towards the end of my round (played 18 after range). My hips and arm speed are out of synch like my driver was, and my weight is a bit too far behind the ball.

"Hey, Reddit,\n\nI've been using torrents for years now, and have been relying a lot on ScrapeTorrent.com as my main torrent search engine. However, it's gotten really bad with annoying ads and such, so I am looking for a new search engine. Of course, I am familiar with Pirate Bay and Demonoid, but what I'm looking for is a search engine that collects torrent search results from all of the biggest torrent indexes (e.g. Pirate Bay, BT Junkie).\n\nAny recommendations?

"There seems to be constant stream of self-posts on reddit from people asking for advice and help on how to improve their lives. This is of course a good thing and should be encouraged. But self-improvement can be quite difficult. It's made easier if you set goals for yourself and keep track of them, but this is also difficult. That process, in turn, is often made easier by having a partner or team to spot you; people who will be there to encourage you or advise you when the road gets tough, who may even share the same goals and regimen.\n\nI just created a subreddit specifically for this. I won't share the link just yet, because I know this is AskReddit and I don't want to link-spam. If there's interest and people ask for it, of course I'll post it up.\n\nThe basic idea would be to tag posts as **[SG]** and **[TG]** for self-goals and team-goals respectively. Self-goals would be for goals that you set for yourself and post updates on, while team-goals would be for goals that you set for yourself and others to potentially participate on.\n\nE.g., if you wanted to give up smoking, you could post a goal to quit by the end of the month, then post updates recording how many cigarettes you smoke per day from then on. That way you could keep track of your progress and try to gradually improve on the numbers. Meanwhile, folk could comment with advice and encouragement etc.\n\nWhat do you think guys and girls, is this something we need/want?\n\nAnd of course, any and all ideas and comments are welcome :)\n\n**Edit:**\nLink is: ",

"Hi, I have a mouse line that has a mutation that has a fully penetrant main phenotype, but an incompletely penetrant secondary phenotype (hearing loss). \n\nI've measured the minimum hearing threshold of the mice, and while the wild types and homozygous mutants are (mostly) normal, the distribution for the hets is very non-normal, and in fact looks bimodial. To me this seems to indicate that it's a case of incomplete penetrance.\n\nDoes anyone have any idea of how I could \"prove\" that this is the case? Any papers that could be suggested?\n\nThanks\n\nEDIT - More details\n\n1) We know the gene, and there are cases of people with mutations in the same gene. All the humans have the primary phenotype, and some of the patients also have deafness (in some cases with incomplete penetrance), depending on the location of their mutation.\n\n2) We are on effectively a pure B6 strain at this point (10+ generation back cross)\n\n3) We are observing some hearing loss from young to medium to old in the WTs. (average 49, 66, 71 dB; 3%, 27% and 16% deaf)\n\n4) Using a histogram (binned in 10dB ranges, middle aged mice), the WT have most of the readings in the 60-70dB range, the Hets have about equally split between 50-60 and 80+, and the homs are mostly in the 50-60 range.\n\nHopefully this additional information will be of use. \n\nThanks again.",

"We'll add this to the FAQ later. blindingstars observed that lots of people are asking for logos, but few people know *how* to ask for logos. So he put together a handy-dandy list of questions you should have already asked yourself (and are ready to answer) before you commission the assistance of someone else to help you with this task. \n\n**Your Business and Target Audience**\n\n* What is the exact business name as you would like it to appear?\n\n* What do you do? What's your industry, and what is your customer base (target audience) like?\n\n* What are 3 things you want to express to your target audience?\n\n**The Logo**\n\n* What type of logo are you looking for? Text-only, image and text, image only, etc.?\n\n* Are there examples of logos that you really like? What about ones that you dislike?\n\n* What colors would you like to be incorporated? What colors do you want to avoid? Should the number of colors be limited, or are you looking for more color-rich treatments such as gradients/fades?\n\n* Great typefaces (fonts) can really make a logo shine, but not all are free; you need to purchase the rights to use some of them. If a design that is using a specialty typeface is the most appropriate and effective, would you be willing to invest in an (affordable) commercial typeface for your logo? If yes, what budget should we keep in mind?\n\n* Are there any specific elements you'd like included? (ex: any specific shapes or motifs)\n\n* If you would like an image used in your logo, would you like it to be more literal (Apple) or abstract (Nike)?\n\n* Any other preferences we should know about?\n\n**The Files**\n\n*Raster images (JPG, PNG, GIF, and others) are made out of pixels, or tiny dots. If you resize a raster image too dramatically, these pixels become distorted and the image doesn’t look too pretty. They are fine to use, but you'll often need to generate a new raster image for each necessary size if you want to keep the file size down and preserve the logo's integrity and quality. Vector images (AI, EPS, SVG, etc.), on the other hand, are mathematical paths; they can be sized up or down to your heart’s content without losing any quality. Vector files offer a lot of flexibility; however, these cannot be as easily displayed online, and specialty software is necessary to open the files. Usually, it is a good practice to acquire both a vector and raster format for your logo.*\n\n* Are you able to open vector files? Check to see if you have programs like Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Inkscape.\n\n* If you have a specific use for the logo in mind, what size should the logo be? A general guesstimate is okay.\n\n* If you have a specific use for the logo in mind, what medium will it be? (online/screen or print)\n\nAs a gentle reminder, we generally limit subreddit logos to subreddits of 500 or more (although we aren't total hardasses about it). The more boring requests for logos we get, the less likely we are to let the requests through. So if you can wait a week or two for your logo, wait a week or two. We try really hard to keep this place interesting and as fascinated as you are by your WOW clan, the rest of us likely aren't.\n\n*Finally, remember that \"that which you do not understand\" RARELY shares much Venn space with \"that which takes little time.\" Keep in mind that asking someone to provide you a logo is asking them for hours or days of highly skilled labor. Be appreciative and for god's sake, don't be afraid of offering payment. Most of the people you're asking spent a lot of money and a lot of time getting as good as they are.*\n\n*Thanks, your friendly neighborhood /r/favors mods*",

The color of my skin does NOT determine that I’m Mexican, it’s the culture, society and country I grew up in that determines that. his roots will be his family aka YOU\n\n4)\tSaying things like “I don’t find Mexican girls attractive” or “I would date a Mexican girl but I wouldn’t marry outside my race” is NOT racist it’s just preference, same way I don’t like how a bright orange car looks and I rather have the red one but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t ride the orange one if I had the chance. \n\n5)\tStop asking for my race in ANY official document if you are truly an equal opportunity employer who cares.\n\n6) Dont start calling a white person racist because they took 5 minutes to get your damn drink at a bar but it didn’t cross their mind that the place is busy as hell and its taking a long time for everyone to get their drinks.\n\n7) You are not racist for asking \"why do all *insert race here* do *insert your observation*\" so when people ask me \"why do all Mexicans eat beans?\" I tell them I guess its a is cultural thing... yes I know not all of us eat beans but who cares, they are not being racist they are trying to generalize because its easier to comprehend.\n\n\nThanks for reading my stupid little rant, just wanted to let it out.\n\n\n\nTL;DR I like tacos and burritos. \n\n\n\n\n\nEdit: I loved reading all you guys comments. On the affirmative action thing, I've sent the paper work to HR to hire some particular people and they ask me to look for some one else because they need to \"diversify\" the work environment and was pretty much forced to take on people who were NOT the best candidates, im not saying those guys didnt know their stuff but they weren't the best ones I interviewed. That is hella racists, I literally was not allowed to hire two potentialiy great employees because they were white. I guess we had enough whites in the company for now.\n\n\nEdit 2: Its quite interesting to seeing people calling me a troll cuz of my opinion. Let check out\n\n\"mmm... this guy's opinion is not the same as other minorities... soo he must be white and a troll!!!\"\n\nSome people might say that is racist but to me it isnt, it just that just sounds ignorant.",

"I'm reviewing a LAMP/Joomla (which has it's own issues) application for use, and it relies almost entirely on `mod_security` to prevent SQL injection and XSS type attacks (which throws a 406). Now I'm in the camp that these types of attacks should be prevented at the code-level, security should always be in mind when designing any web-facing application. Modifying this application in such a manner is not realistic in the short term (but if used such protections would be added over time). \n \nMy question is, is this a reliable form of security, and how robust is `mod_security`? Would you trust a system that depended solely on it to protect your data?",

r/pets, I need help! took in two feral kittens - one is adorable, one is a ferocious beast.

"I recently took in two feral cats (a week after they had been trapped, fixed, and dewormed); one boy, on girl (both about 3 - 4 months old). The girl is awesome and easily handled (won't leave me alone sometimes), but the boy is still a little beast; admittedly, he is much better than when I first got them, but he is still not very approachable (hisses a lot), will only approach me if I have food, gets pissed if I touch him\n\nI live in an apartment and I keep them in my room (it's been about three weeks to a month now) - I've let them out a few times but they hide (mainly the boy) and I think this may be counterproductive. The thing is, I really want to let them roam the apartment because I'm sick of keeping the kitty litter in my room, but I'm afraid the boy will never warm up - - any suggestions??\n\nEdit: to clarify, they are in my room mainly because I can control the number of hiding spots, encourage them to become more comfortable.. this was the idea at least."

Proposing to my girlfriend of 6 years tonight!!
| 1 | 3 |
[
"We didn't date the entire 6 years straight... but in total, after a few break ups during difficult long distance periods and such we've been together for 2 years now, living together for 1 and the ring is finally done!\n\nIt's such a crazy feeling of excitement made even more so by the fact that I haven't really told many people. It's such an odd feeling because on the one hand, it's something I just want to tell everyone I see, but on the other, I want her to be surprised and I'm not willing to risk ruining it. (My parents and sister know, and her parents know... that's it)\n\nSo... this is my plan. \n\nFor years she has been dropping subtle (and not so subtle) hints that she wanted to pick up photography. About a month ago I swapped my Dell M1330 Laptop (retired) to Itsprestonm \\(thank you r/trade\\) for his Nikon D80. I've now taken a number of pictures of me holding up a dry erase board that read:\n\n1. Hey Babe!\n2. I like you!\n3. A lot!\n4. You make the bad days Good, and the Good days GREAT!\n5. ...and I want to spend the rest of my life...\n6. Annoying the Shit out of you!\n7. So....\n8. (Picture of me holding the ring.)\n\nI'm really excited and I don't think she is going to see it coming. I told her I wanted to go out and take some pictures tonight while we still had some nice weather left (living in Michigan). \n\nWe're going to go for a walk around the city to take pictures and then out to dinner. I think before we go to dinner I'm going to take her to a little park/fountain area we like to relax and people watch at and tell her to check the camera and see if we got any good pictures. When she scrolls through, hopefully she reads the message. \n\nSadly the pictures didn't come out that great (I was in somewhat of a rush to get the pictures taken before she got home from work) and I have no skills with photoshop... but it's not that big of a deal. At first I wanted to try to photoshop myself into interesting places with the signs... but realized I just don't have the required skill set. Either way I'm really happy and wanted to share. \n\nThanks for listening Reddit (or not... either way). \n__________________________________________________________\n\nEDIT: Thank you guys for all your support and suggestions. Tonight was absolutely one of the greatest nights of my life and everything went EXACTLY as planned. It literally could not have been more perfect. The weather was beautiful and I got to propose just as the sun was setting. She was sitting on the bench just outside the park/fountain... I gave her the camera and told her to scroll to the right... bent down to 'tie my shoe' prepped the ring and waited... she cried a little... but mostly just laughed. \n\nThank you reddit... first for giving a shit... and second for letting me unload some of my excitement before actually proposing. It was an amazing feeling to be able to share it with you guys (albeit complete strangers). \n\n\nEDIT 2: She REALLY liked the \"Annoying the shit out of you\" picture. \n_____________________________________________________________\n\nEdit 3:\nWalking through the park. \n\n\nSun setting... she was walking to OUR bench without me even saying anything\n\nLast picture before I handed off the camera and told her, \"SCROLL RIGHT... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T SCROLL LEFT!\""

"Best-worst works like this:\n\nSomeone says something great about the life of a person. \"John found a thousand dollars in his suit today.\"\n\nThe next person says something horrible about that person's life. \"But the thousand dollars were counterfeit, and he wound up in jail.\"\n\nIt then alternates, so the next two lines could be: \"In jail he found Jesus, who helped him escape from prison.\" and then \"He was shot in the foot as he was escaping though, and eventually that foot was amputated.\" Etc etc.",
"Look, I understand that many of you here may not like the American system of government as it currently is, and that's okay. However, it *infuriates me* that many people absolutely refuse to participate in the system and try to change the way things are run, and then when everything goes down the shitter, they have the *balls* to complain the system doesn't work and then use it to justify their continued lack of participation.\n\nSeriously now, do you *know* why it is that the country is continually fucked over by the right-wing extremists? Well, *I will tell you why*: It is because the *extremists participate more in the system*. Moderates and people such as yourselves are *less likely* to participate in the political realm even through voting, *especially in primaries* (which are probably *the most important part of the electoral process*, because they decide what candidates are available for actual election to office), whereas extremists are the *most likely* to vote and participate in the system.\n\nWhen the extremists are the most outspoken of all the constituency, politicians are of course going to listen to them the most. It's as simple as that. This is the same reason why old people have so much influence, because they are much more likely to vote and be members of interest groups such as the AARP (which some say is the most powerful interest group in Washinigton). Politicians aren't going to give a *damn* about you and what you think unless they believe you might actually organize and vote them out of office.\n\nYour votes do matter. Even if you vote for a third party, you are still sending a message to the two major parties about what you believe. For example, the Green Party's candidate Ralph Nader in 2000 took votes away from Al Gore, using a pro-environment message. Soon after, the Democratic Party (and even the Republican Party to an extent in places such as California) began focusing more on issues such as clean energy and climate change. *The Democratic Party changed its stance because of how people voted.* Barack Obama may not be doing all that you hoped, but the country is *still* better off than if John McCain and Sarah Palin had been elected. And if more young people had voted in the 2000 presidential election, our country might not be fucked up from eight years of Bush.\n\nIn short, Democracy is a messy system of government, and it takes a lot of work to uphold. Citizens have to be poltiically active if they do not want minority \"factions\" (in the words of James Madison) such as right-wing extremists taking over. **It is up to you and your fellow citizens to unite, organize, and fight to win back the country.** It is the only way to make change happen.\n\n**TL;DR:** Don't refuse to participate in politics and then blame the system for not working, because then it's your own fault. Organize with other people to fight (politically) to win back the country, or your state. The only way to make politicians listen to you is by organizing and speaking out as a group. Believe it or not, they *will* listen to you if they think you are an important group to win over in order to win their election.\n\n**I should also add that primaries are VERY FUCKING IMPORTANT. Primaries for the Democratic and Republican Parties decide which candidates are going to be available for actual election to office. Primaries are your chance to really choose who you want for office.** It's a lot easier to play the blame game than try to fix things, but is it really worth it?\n\nAlso relevant",
"Last night around 10:00 I was at a friends house and we went out side to smoke a cigarette. We were looking up in the sky at the stars because where he lives there isn't that much light pollution. After looking for a few minutes we saw what appeared to be a star moving across the sky. It looked like a regular star but it was moving pretty fast. I first dismissed it as a shooting star/comet/ maybe even a satellite. Then we saw another one going the opposite direction. We kept are eyes focused on the sky and after about 10 minutes we counted around 5 or 6 of the same thing going in all different directions. My friend also claimed to see a bright flash then nothing. I was not looking at the time so I don't know. I am always skeptical of UFO's and stuff and thought of logical reasons for the happenings that we saw. It was probably nothing and i just wanted to see if anybody saw the same thing we did. BTW we are located in lower Fairfield county if that helps. \nTL;DR My friend and I saw star like object jetting across the sky last night and wanted to know if anybody saw the same thing?"

Ask Frugal: How should I be handling my money (checking/savings/credit union/etc)?

As a contractor, I pay all my own taxes (yearly, not quarterly), so I keep my money in two account:\n\n- 1 account (a savings account) for money that will go towards paying taxes, which has anywhere from a couple thousand to about 40 thousand depending on what time in the year it is\n- 1 account (a checking account) for daily expenses, bills, etc., which usually has somewhere between 1 and 2 thousand at any given time.\n\nCurrently, I'm using Suntrust with just a basic savings and checking account. I'm utterly ignorant about the pros and cons of different types of accounts and credit unions, but I make almost nothing in interest from the savings account and I wonder if that could change if I moved some thing around?"

What would cause a hot spot under a roof?
| 1 | 3 |
[
"I have a finished attic room, whose walls terminate into the rafters, so the upper part of the wall follows the slope of the roof until the ceiling. In three different places, this sloped roof/wall has hot spots, heated by the sun. They get almost too hot to hold my hand to, and don't appear to have changed since we bought the house five years ago. What might cause this?\n\nMy thought was that they weren't insulated, but I knocked a small hole next to one, at it looks like the pink roll of insulation is in there just fine! They are patches 1-2 feet in diameter, with nothing hot leading to/from them. Generally, the center of the spot is the hottest point.\n\nI talked to a contractor friend, who seemed equally at a loss, and thought maybe a gap between the the insulation and the sheetrock. But that would leave the insulation still between the roof and the sheetrock, so why would it get hot?\n\nKind of at a loss, and would like some ideas before I go tearing up more sheetrock. Thanks."

"I understand what they stand for, and sometimes I believe in what they do. However, it's sad that \"hacktivist\" is now a recognized term; this shouldn't be necessary. I just read this article, as seen on the front page of reddit, and am growing more annoyed. In the article it says \"Some of these so-called whitehat infosec firms are working for authoritarian governments, such as those of Egypt and Syria\". Reading that, I infer that Anonymous is strongly against authoritarianism, and yet it is an attribute of theirselves (themselves?). Anonymous is deciding what is best for the people and giving the people no option other than to comply. Does anyone see where I'm going with this? If Anonymous reads this, I would really like to know why they feel they deserve to have this power and overall just why they do it. Most Facebook users know about the issues Anonymous mentioned as reason for destroying it, and yet the willingly use Facebook on a daily basis. If Anonymous doesn't like what Facebook is doing, then they just shouldn't use Facebook. The rest of us don't really give a damn and we will continue to use Facebook. I don't really see how Anonymous is saving us. We all choose what to put on Facebook, knowing that it is there forever and open for anyone to see. I feel like Anoymous is becoming the authoritarian government of the internet, which, in my opinion, isn't okay. They can hack, so what? I'm sure most of you are familiar with this quote from the Holy Grail \"but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you\". The ability to hack does not grant anyone, regardless of who they are, the power to govern the internet.

What I saw @ OccupyPhilly last night
| 1 | 3 |
[
"I went to City Hall around 8pm last night. Prior to that, I talked to my former boss who worked 20 stories up overlooking City Hall. He said there were about 200 people at the protest around 3PM. When I got there at 8PM (on a Thursday night, mind you), I was amazed at the number of people that were there. I heard later that over 1000 people showed up to the planning meeting, and thousands over the course of the day had come and gone at the protest.\n\nUpon entering the protest, I was caught off guard by a sign held by someone at the entrance: \"Since when was socialism a bad thing?\" However, on the other side of the entrance were Ron Paul signs. Some people held up anti-corporate greed signs, some had anti-war signs.\n\nWhile there, I saw people of all genders, races, and political beliefs. Most of the organizers of the protest seemed to be \"community organizers\" - whatever that means to you. To me, they seemed like hippies - the ones who shouted to \"dance, sing, and love each other\" in the coming \"weeks and months.\"\n\nOne thing that I did not see were anti-occupation signs. There was no counter-protest. Every other protest I have been to in the past 6 years there has always been a counter-protest. ALWAYS. Even the anti-war protests have counter-protests! Not here, though.\n\nOne thing I took away from the way people were talking, was that there is not meant to be a message yet. There is no platform. The protests and occupations are meant to be the first step towards a true democratic platform - a public square for all ideas to be discussed and deliberated. The ones shouting directions said that we are not going to make any demands until we know what those demands are, and the only way to find that out is to get together and TALK.\n\nAfter the organizers spoke, the crowd broke off into smaller groups. In a group discussing the benefits of obtaining a permit I heard someone say \"We need to remember why we're here - to fight against the federal government and corporate greed. We should not say that the Tea Party is what we're against. They're part of the 99% too. They're not evil, they're just misguided and ill-informed. We need to confront their leaders, not the Tea Partiers themselves.\"\n\nAlthough this and the Occupy Wall Street protests may have been started and promoted by certain groups (unions, ACORN, Greenpeace were all there), I do not see their political beliefs reaching into the discussions beyond them speaking their mind. There were HUNDREDS of people there, all of them having their own thoughts about what the government should be. Many were idealistic, but all of them had ideas. Some even discussed the shadow government (Rockefellers, Bilderberg, CFR, Federal Reserve, IMF, etc) , Aliens (ET's, not illegals), 9/11 Truth, and ending the drug wars.\n\nThe police presence at City Hall was next to nothing. Mayor Nutter came out in support of the protest and gave the go-ahead for the protesters to use City Hall as their base of operations. We had the best response by police in any Occupation I've seen so far. We must remember that they are part of the 99% as well, but they still have to do their job. So far, it's peaceful. Tonight there's supposed to be a live viewing of the Phillies game, hosted by Mayor Nutter at 7:30.\n\n\"If you are afraid of being arrested, do not let that fear of doing something cause you to do nothing.\" ~Occupy Philly Protester"

Driving tip - am I driving in a 30 or 40mph zone?
| 1 | 3 |
[
"When driving on a main road in many British towns and cities, it's often difficult to miss a speed-limit sign, and many places don't have small reminder signs posted, so you can't be sure whether you're in a 30mph or 40mph zone, even if the road looks safe enough to accommodate higher speeds.\n\nSo here's a tip.\n\nAs you drive past a smaller road that joins the main road, look to see if it has a 30mph speed limit sign at the entrance.\nIf it doesn't, then you're already in a 30mph zone. If it does, there's every likelihood that you're in a 40mph zone.\nOf course, there are going to be the odd exception (20/50 zones, etc), but if in doubt, stick to 30 until you're sure, and you should be ok.\n\nKind of simple and obvious really, but many people haven't thought of it."

I think a simple arch with that type of triangle truss might be the easiest for me to build also (if I did do this, do you have any suggestions for how the truss would be? I don't think there's enough support in the truss in that picture; would it be better to add a linear stick in the middle at least? I also kind of feel like this one is too long, and not tall enough.\n\n3) I also found this]( and [this, which I thought was a little weird, but the guy who built it seems to know what he's talking about.\n\nAt this point, I'm going to go with #2, but could someone critique it and give suggestions to improve, or possibly suggest a better design?\n\n**tl;dr** Need to build a popsicle stick bridge. Which design should I use?\n\nThank you to anyone that can help!",
"I would love a feature (simple checkbox) on the \"hot\" page that would filter out everything I have already voted on. This would turn Reddit into more of a reading list, RSS style, where I don't have to figure out which \"page\" I'm on, I just vote on everything I see and it gets replaced by other stuff. This would also have the benefit of motivating more lurkers to vote.\n\nIn a way, I do this already. I constantly click the \"hide\" button after voting on things. Keeps my front page fresh - and I see things rising long before other people.\n\nWould you use a feature like this? Are there any clear drawbacks?"

"So my girlfriend's mother is going into surgery for a liver transplant tonight at 7pm CST (she lives in Wisconsin). The problem is, she lied to my girlfriend (her daughter) about drafting up a living will and last will & testament. I'm wondering 2 things:\n\n1. what are my girlfriend's options with respect to drafting a living will/last will and testament? I understand a lawyer should really be the one dealing with this, but are there any options for at least the living will in the short term? Keep in mind my girlfriend (& her mother) are on a pretty tight time frame. She and her sister are her mother's only living successors.\n\n2. Does anyone know of a good estate lawyer in the Madison, WI area?\n\n**Edit**: I know her mother was lying because my girlfriend called from the airport on her way back home and told me her mom hadn't yet prepared one, despite telling my gf she had. I think she'll sign one now because she said she would several months ago, and she asked my girlfriend to \"get one\" for her. I've heard about the hospital's legal advocate, but I was also unsure if they are there for the patients or for the hospital. Thanks for the help so far, guys. I can't imagine how frustrated my girlfriend must be right now...",

"Hello, I'm in need of a version control system, or at the very least, a check-in / check-out system for a php project i'm working on with a few people. This project runs in a clients server, and since the client is pretty strict on security, we aren't allowed to host it on any other server other then theirs. We could store it locally, but we want to keep the complete project in a central place (client's server). Other then Dreamweaver`s check-in and check-out system, is there any alternative for eclipse or a different IDE?\n\nAny help would be GREATLY appreciated.\n\nAlso, svn/cvs wont work as it requires root access to install, we need an ftp check-in/check-out system.",

"Hit up a few garage sales Sunday Morning. I should mention that none of these records were sitting out in the driveway. I asked for records, and people would bring some out or invite me in. All of the following was bought for 1-2 dollars a piece. \n\nOne guy had some **Pink Floyd** in *amazing* condition. I own multiple copies of most of these albums already, but there are in far better shape. Snagged all 5 for $5.\n\nNext house, the lady invited me in and I found some Zappa albums. I was ecstatic, I've been trying to find Zappa LPs for cheap for some time, and this was my first find. At 2 dollars each I bought: **Frank Zappa** - *Joe's Garage Acts I, II and III.]( And *[Sheik Yerbouti]( Zappa is such a [pimp, I've got Hot Rats on its way, and I can't wait.\n\nNext stop was a warehouse sale. Again, no records on display, but I asked if they had any, and the lady brought me back into the warehouse where she had THOUSANDS of records. She explained that these were her personal collection, and she was not really interested in selling it, but if I found anything I *had* to have, maybe we could work something out. Don't you guys LOVE it when you get to dive into somebodies *personal* collection? The stuff that hasn't been picked through? It's like digging for gold! And this collection was full of classic rock gold. All the standards you see at record stores and dollar bins all the time, but also tons of records I never see. Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Zeppelin, Bowie, Sabbath, Zappa, Allman Brothers, etc. She had it all. I spent a good hour picking things out, only to have her tell me 75% of it wasn't for sale, while the other 24% was out of my price range. She wanted full retail value (15-25 each) and I was out bargain hunting. Looking back, she had A LOT of great stuff and I should have bought a few records that don't pop up very often, but oh well, can't win them all. I did get a few records from her though, most of these she had 4-5 copies of, so I was able to talk her down to 2.50 each. Some good stuff too. \n\nLast stop was a used books store that was having a $1 for anything in the store sale. They have a few bins of used records, so I stopped by. Found 2 ZZ Top Albums]( and a bunch of [LaserDiscs]( (I know, I know! It isn't vinyl and it plays video. Just bear with me.) I've never even heard of these and they were in mint condition, so I said what the hell. They are [pretty cool if you'd never seen one!\n\nLast thing I got at the used books store was a pair of records from Russia. They are live recordings of 2 of Vladimir Vysotsky's live recordings, each from a different city. My parents are Russian, and when I showed them these records they couldn't believe that I had found them where I did. They told me that Vladimir Vysotsky was a famous songwriter whose songs were social commentaries and often criticized the government. My father told me that at one point, his music was banned and you could not hear it at all. Pretty cool stuff to have these pop up in a used book store in Florida. \n\nAll that in 2-3 hours and for less than 30 dollars. Can't beat that."

Who are these damn protesters?

"Everytime I'm downtown, I see these protesters making noise and yelling. They hold up signs saying XX company brings down area wages. Sometimes they have a pickup with a giant rat.
