Android Pedometer on a bicycle: over- or under-estimating caloric output? | 1 | 3 | [
"My girlfriend and I have started using a pedometer all day, as we are both somewhat active at work (I work in a lab and she works in a hospital).\n\nI tend to beat her, but I leave the app on when I bike to work. I understand that this is probably very inaccurate, but in which direction is the inaccuracy?\n\nI'm more interested in the *caloric* inaccuracy than the *number of steps* inaccuracy. I assume there could be a difference, because the calories burned per \"step\" on a bike are probably not the same as per \"step\" while walking.\n\nAlso, I get that this is not accurate, but I feel like turning it off for the bike ride is a pain and probably even *less* accurate, as I am doing *something.*]\n\nEDIT: the app is Pacer. I know it's not the best app, but she's been using it and I'm trying to support her."

Why do Ammo Boxes vanish on death, when everything else doesn't? | 1 | 3 | [
"Medkits and Medbags stay after the user that dropped them died, and they can even heal enemies. Stuff like TUGS and Spawn Beacons stay after your death, until they are either destroyed, or the user switches classes. \n\nAmmo boxes, the most crucial of abilities and the whole point of a goddamn Support class, dissapears immediately upon your death. \n\nIt is the only gadget that does so. I would argue that it is the ONE gadget that MUST REMAIN PERSISTENT on the Battlefield. At the very least, it will have to be brought in line with the other gadgets. \n\nLook, I don't advocate the 95% of supports out there that never drop ammo.... but the ones that do, have to do it all the freaking time. Because every time they die, the ammo box vanishes. \n\nThe Ammo Box has to be redesigned. It should say after you die, up until the point that the same user drops a new ammo box again. I think it will help with the lack of ammo issues that plague the battlefield. \n\nCase in point: Support is one of my least played classes, and yet somehow I'm #6000 out of 250000 players in terms of resupplies. That is super freaking sad. \n\n\n\nThis should probably be crossposted with the CTE subreddit."

"Hi guys, \n\nA quick one, but would like everyone's opinions.\n\nWhat is everyone's thoughts about 'spoilers' about games, that could easily be removed by submitters to help people who can't watch the game live? E.g, not having the FT score in the title of the post match thread, and not having things like 'Mata's winner vs X' in GIF titles and so on.\n\nObviously not all aspects of a spoiler can be removed, especially if a decent post match analysis gets heavily upvoted and the title reveals the score, but we could work on removing as many spoilers as possible, if enough people are having the problem of the game being ruined for them. \n\nI personally don't agree with the removal of spoilers, but I've had a few PMs from people asking if it can happen, so here we are.\n\nLet me know if it's something you'd like to see happen, or if you think it's stupid and that things should carry on as normal.",

He said you should always put them all in one campaign if they use similar keywords and to either do auto or manual, but not both since it will compete for impressions.\n\nHowever, I have seen a lot of conflicting info on this from sellers running PPC.

Tricks to Flesh Out Characters | 1 | 3 | [
"I find sometimes I can be a little too focused on the role a character plays in a story rather than how they would react and what they would do. I consider it one of my biggest weaknesses.\n\nThis is an especially tough thing in fantasy because we have so many other things to worry about with our characters. There are cultures we've made up entirely in our own head, the rules of reality often don't work the way they do in our world, and nature is filled with fantastic creatures. It's harder to have a brave character in a world filled with dragons, most of them get eaten.\n\nI've been trying some tricks to make my characters more fleshed out, something that can work universally regardless of if they have more than two arms or pointy ears. I was hoping you could share some of your own.\n\nIn the past, I would often try to figure out my character's D&D alignment, for example. This worked especially well considering that fantasy often has more easily definable forces of order and chaos.\n\nAnother technique I find intriguing is \"typing\" your character with Myers-Briggs. It's important not to go overboard with this, just use it to ask the right questions:\n\n* Is (s)he an extrovert or an introvert? [I/E]\n\n* Does (s)he rely more on their senses or intuition? [N/S]\n\n* Are decisions made based more on logic or emotion? [T/F]\n\n* Generally, do they prefer structure or flexibility in their life? [J/P]\n\n\nEdit: Clarified and updated some posting."

My most comfortable champions would be Jinx, Trist, Vayne and Kalista, although recently I haven't been getting many good results on Kalista so I've stuck to the first 3. I feel like I play ADC at a level that is higher than Silver 3, I personally believe low-mid gold level, but I can never seem to carry games when getting practically 1v5'd in the late game.

"I'm not an aviation person, so I apologize in advance for any vague terminology.\n\nI live in Manhattan in a 17th floor rooftop apartment and two days ago I heard a huge roar directly overhead. As I ran to the window, I saw two planes and a helicopter shoot out above my building, flying south in close formation, very low over the city. I'm not sure of the altitude, but much lower than passenger planes that approach LaGuardia from the south over the city which, I think are at 5,000 feet.\n\nThe planes were striking because they had rectangular wings placed on top of the body. I'm pretty sure they were prop planes, not jets. They were bigger than a Cesna - if I had to guess, I'd say they could hold maybe 20 people if they were configured with seats. The helicopter looked about the size of a NYC police helicopter, not one of the small tourist helicopters, but not a huge army helicopter. I was not able to identify any markings on any of the aircraft.\n\nThe two planes were flying to the left of the helicopter, at the same height and all three were very close together; you couldn't have fit another plane between any of them. As I watched, the plane to the far left sped up and crossed in front of the other plane and helicopter, continued circling around and then behind them and finally resumed its place on the far left. Frankly it looked sort of terrifying, particularly as they were flying so low over the city. I grabbed my binoculars and watched until they disappeared from view and this maneuver was repeated twice more.\n\nWhat in the frilly heck could they have been doing? I've racked my brains and I can't come up with any explanation. It looked like three kids let out to play, but I don't think planes and helicopters should be having fun up there!"

How to be unique and add to the song. | 1 | 3 | [
"Hey all,\n\nI have found myself as the new bassist in an existing band. Said band is playing about 4 shows per month. The group is in their early 20s', i'm in my late 20's. No big deal as I see it, the missus sees it as trying to relive my younger years, but I think that's a bit ridiculous. \n\nAnyway, I have been learning the bands material, we had our first show and got lots of compliments. Specifically people said the bass sounded great. I play a 6 string and have a unique style since my foundations come from guitar.\n\nMy question here is, how can I push the envelope and bring true creation to the project? What is the best way to elevate my worth to the music? I don't want to just be \"the bassist\". I want to be an integral important part of the project that makes it hard to be replaced. Not for the sake of being replaced, but to have a true value in the voice and message of the music.\n\nIt might be a slap in the face to bassists, but I feel most people hear all bass as the same unless you're a great like Claypool or Flea, then you ring out of the mix.\n\nAs the band's main song writer/vocalist writes new songs, i'm doing my best to write unique riffs, while keeping things within the confines of the song. But not being a part of the initial song writing process kind of makes me feel like a pawn.\n\nEdit: This has to be the best community on reddit. Never have I seen a group of people so willing to share their own experiences/knowledge in support of someone else. Funny enough I guess that support role is what makes a bassist a bassist! Thanks everyone."

"When she had just got married she thought that she was too young, that it would never last, and that it had all been a mistake, and yet here she was, 23 years later with the same man, a house, and a car, and a child now a 42 year old. For the longest time, she couldn't be happier, until some nagging thoughts that had plagued her for years finally pushed themselves to the surface; She was losing her looks. She's putting on weight. Her husband doesn't find her sexy any more. Sure, she was getting older not much she could do about that, and her husband has told her countless times that he loves her curves, and she knows that her husband works all day to provide for her and her family, so it was okay that he was too tired for sex, but finally after all she did for him all she stood up for.. she was divorced by him. He had a mistress, and for poor Melissa, who stayed loyal for the past years of her life, she was now alone with her 8 year old son, and with only money she can barley survive on.\n\nSoon enough, Melissa moved from a rather nice neighborhood, to the slums in the bad part of the town, living in a small apartment room, rather bad and dingy part of the area. The only thing her husband had to pay for was this apartment, and her costs for food, and son.\n\nSadly, there are some things that couldn't be rationalized or tucked away, and it dawned on her that she was lonely; She was alone, and she had nothing to do all day besides watch daytime soaps and trashy reality tv while picking at junk food. Determined to beat her own self, she would soon try to find a job in this area, she had an old car, she drove her son to school, which was bad as well, now she needed a job. Something about where she lived was off.. very, very off.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\n( Sounds good? Basically a 'used to be' rich woman who is now living in the slums with her son. I love the idea of corrupting the woman, slow corruption, slow build up and teases..\nStarters we could use: raped by some homeless guy, taken into his shack, abusive new boyfriend, finding a loving new man, thugs ganging up on the poor woman, mind play..)\n(( I usually do anime pictures, but I will do real models, just tell me what you want.

LF advise on playing Dragon Priest. Specific questions inside. | 1 | 3 | [
"I would immensely appreciate any input to the following questions. Thank you in advance fellow Hearthstone enthusiasts. Questions below & here is decklist: \n\n* I am having problems with Face Hunters. I always seem to stabilize around 5-12 HP but before I finish them off they are able to charge and get me first. In fact I am having issues with my control decks against all face players, any advise?\n* If I have the ability to control the board/heal early minions -AND- I have a strong a curve, is it better to control the board/heal or play my curve? I run into this issue a lot.\n* I am having a lot of trouble with my 3-mana slot. I have tried different combinations of Dark Cultist and Dragonwing Technician but I never seem to get much use out of them. Should I keep trying or just run 1?\n* I prefer running Thaurissan over Sylvannas because of my important 5-mana and 6-mana cards (Azure, Cabal, Lightbomb). Thaurissan allows me to drop these without taking a whole turn. I don't see other people doing this, is my thinking flawed? It appears to be working out.\n* I run Chillmaw, Chromaggus, & Ysera. Any alternative suggestions? What about Rend? I find Chillmaw to be kind of meh. Chromaggus is either very helpful or impossible to play. Ysera is MVP.\n\n\nAgain, thank you for any & all replies."

"\"Can you see it?\"\n\nEdderion asked the question of his cousin, Theodan, while they stood side by side a little ways ahead of where the Northern host had made camp, on the very edge of the Crownlands. Edderion had called for the halt then summoned his kinsman, riding together a little ways north before the King of Winter dismounted, moved forward, and stopped, staring downward.\n\n\"See what?\" Theodan asked exasperatedly, his fair features twisted by both annoyance and confusion. \"Its just a patch of grass.\"\n\n\"No, no, look there! It runs from where we stand far, far west, all the way to the horizon and beyond. Then eastward again, to the sea. Can you not see it, Theodan?\"\n\nThe other Stark rolled his eyes.\n\n\"You're talking about the border. Of course I can't see the damn thing, Edderion, have you gone mad.\"\n\n\"No.\" The King murmured, his attentions once again wholy fixed upon the ground. He lifted a foot as if to take a hesitant step forward, then set it back down again in place. \"No, I haven't gone mad. I just...I need to take time to appreciate the little things, Theodan. If I don't I may very well go mad.\" A gust of wind tossled his hair, and Edderion straightened, gazing out toward the east.\n\n\"You know, Theodan, this line - this invisible border - is only seventy years old. It was forged by our forebear, Robb Stark, and by him alone - Renly would not have had it here, if he had his way. Robb placed this border here, and by his deeds do I dare call myself *king* the moment I take but a half step forward.\"\n\nHe did so now. One foot crossing the boundry, the other staying in place, but shifting so that he faced the distant sea. Now, straddling the border between North and South, he shut his eyes, taking in a deep breath.\n\n\"I'm a *king*, Theodan. By the gods. I must say I understand the lives of Aerys II and Maegor the Cruel and Joffery Baratheon all the better now, by having worn the crown. I do not respect or excuse them, but I understand. Rule, it's...intoxicating. Do you realize that I could, on a whim, march every man above the age of - what, fourteen? - off to war and have them die in my name? If I re-instituted First Night I could fuck any bride on her wedding day, from here to Pyke to the Wall. How could a man not be tainted by such powers? How could any hope to wield them rightly?\"\n\nA quick shake of the head; slow, sluggish, as if it were done underwater. \"No - no that is a line I will not cross. We're headed home, Theodan, home to wed Lyarra off to some Southern King, and then live our lives in peace, unless the Greyjoys stir up or the Targaryens come howling out of the depths. I think...I think I'm going to take some time away. Set up in Moat Cailin and just go hunting for a few months, until the wedding. Hand control of the kingdom over the Council. Between Melwyn and Nedger they've made it plain - I've been trying to do far too much, and it's tearing me apart. But no longer. When we get home...it'll be their headache.\"\n\nTheodan's eyebrow was high and scornful, but he shrugged, turning away. \"Its your kingdom, Edderion, do what you will. As you said - a word from you and a thousands perish. I'll not disagree when you say such powers should be held by more than one man.\"\n\nEdderion nodded, and with that he brought both feet over the invisible boundary, taking a moment to simply breathe and look about. A million miles from the Neck, and yet - he was home. The North. The Kingdom of the North. *His* kingdom. The King of Winter took one last, deep breath, reaching out for his gods, his realm, for the land he had known since he was a boy.\n\n*I've missed you.*",
"Hello /r/legaladvice , first time poster and I'm in terrible need of some advice.

"My immediate reaction to the round, as a PTS backer, was resentment that they would release a new version of the watch just a week after I finally received my KS reward. Thankfully they rectified that by allowing PTS backers not only a free trial, but an essentially free exchange for the round if that's the smartwatch that is most appealing to them. \n\nWhile it may seem on the surface that the round would be basically a round version of the Steel, it's clear that the round if appealing to a different market. Gone is waterproof casing and 10 day battery, and in its place is a significantly thinner and lighter design (32g vs 62g). You'll also have to recharge basically every day, they claim a day's use with 15 min of charging. \n\nI personally love the look of the new time (specifically the silver with brown band) and the bezel doesn't bother me (I mean the bezels on all of the Pebbles are huge). The round appears more sleek and classy than the Steel. It's clear that Pebble is heading into new territory with the Round; it looks like an attempt to earn Pebble a spot on women's wrists, with the smaller design and new 14mm band options. \n\nI'm really impressed with how they handled this release and can't wait to try the Round for myself.",

"I'm chubby, but my weight has never been a health issue. My blood pressure is pretty average, I can run a mile without dying, and while my pants are a much bigger size than they were before I had my son I've only gained about twenty pounds since highschool. What I am saying is my deciding to lose weight is 100% motivated by vanity. I'm 25, 5'4\" and my husband I am recently split amicably because he fell in love while having a (totally allowed) extra marital affair.\nMy problem is, I get a little obsessive. In the past I have used not eating as a means of grounding myself when things got rough or I got stressed. The last time I tried tracking calories and running if I over ate in a day I would make myself keep working out until my calorie tracker told me I was still at my target deficit for the day.\nI have a problem, and I know it, but I also am tired of not being able to try on clothes when I am shopping with friends because if they don't fit it makes me cry.\nI'm a daily weigher, and I am trying to ignore daily fluctuations and stay positive. My ex and I are competing to see who can get the most steps in everyday with our fitbits, I'm trying.\nMy friends are being great, when I tell them I'm channeling my sad into working out they congratulate me on my healthy approach. A couple of mutual friends my ex and I share offered to go running with me, and keep telling me how hot I will be for their wedding. My ex is, ironically, the only person who knows and thus is concerned that I have a history of obsessive behavior when it comes to weight loss.\nI cant really reach out to anyone I know and ask for help in keeping me grounded. It isn't my friend's job to babysit me and make sure I don't go too far.\nI guess what I'm saying is, does anyone have any advice on how to not panic over an ounce gained one morning? I'm feeling good and rational now, but I've been steadily losing for a couple weeks now, and I'm still pretty depressed overall and worried that if I have a bad day it might be a bit of an unhealthy trigger."

"Hello Reddit, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Today I told my parents of what happened to me when I was 16. I have never told a soul about it until today, not even my boyfriend. Well, now I feel the truth should come out, so here it goes.\n\nWhen I was 16 and couldnt get a job my neighbor let me work with him for cash. We got along great, he was in his early 40's and he knew I was gay, but he was always supportive of me, he even would let me use his phone to call my boyfriend when my family had no other way. \n\nWell one day, I went over to his house to use his phone, and to get some tools so I could start the days work. He was snorting coke on the table, but I figured it was just him being himself, I knew he did drugs...He said, Do I like to clone a willy? I didn't know what he meant, I thought he was just rambling from the drugs, so I walked into the other room to start getting the tools. I turned around to see him naked, and fully erect...his face totally expressionless. I told him no, that I couldnt, that I was a kid and not old enough to do it, and he knew I knew what he wanted. I told him please, not to do this, I was 16, he knew it was illegal. He had me against the wall, and he was rubbing against me. I began crying, I told him to please just let me leave, that I wouldn't tell if he let me leave, but he wouldn't listen. He penetrated me and I cried and cried, it hurt so bad. He was a very...large man. It was a huge shock to my body and emotions. I left after he was done, and never looked back. I repressed it. I couldn't think about it without crying, without feeling like I set myself up for it.. It was my fault for telling him I was gay, and trusting him with that fact, it was my fault he did it because I told him.\n\nI have nightmares often, even today. But I feel its important that I stop hiding it. Every day this experience has been in the back of my mind. My sex life suffers for it, as well as my relationship sometimes. I am crying even now as I type my story for you all. I am very appreciative for you all to listen to me.\n\nFor all of you out there who have been raped as well, take my advice. Tell a friend.

"So I met this guy about a month ago through Tinder, it was the ideal first meeting and we were both really happy. I think a lot of that happiness came from the fact that prior to us meeting each other we were both lonely and looking for a relationship. It started off with us messaging each other routinely over tinder, which let to the exchange of phone numbers and then coffee within a week. Meeting at first was amazing, we were both really happy, but like I said, I feel like this is due to us both being lonely prior to us meeting.\n\nFast forward a month and we've spent a lot of time together. We do casual dinners, hang out at his house and watch movies, visit the amusement park, message throughout the day through texts, and FaceTime each other periodically. We both have busy schedules, but we always find time to talk. We have had sex before, however I don't feel any kind of spark when we do this or kiss. Everything moved so fast to the point where it has all become predictable, I learned too much at once and now there are no surprises. Spending time together has become more of a chore rather than me actually enjoying myself. The problem is, he really has feelings for me, which isn't bad in itself, but I don't want to lead him on if I don't see this going anywhere and I'd like to just be friends. \n\nAfter one month he told me he loved me, I was taken aback because I didn't feel that way, but he was crying when he said it and I could tell he meant it. I didn't say it back, but I was there to support him nevertheless. He also told me earlier that he hasn't felt as happy as he does now in a long time. Like I said, I don't want to lead him on, but I also don't want to hurt him because I've been in his situation before (so I guess that's proof that we will all get through it eventually). I still want to be his friend, but I just don't see us being anything more even though he does.\n\nI guess my question is: how should I approach this situation? I don't want to be stuck in an unfulfilling relationship and end up missing out on someone who I may have a true connection with. Even though I had fun in the beginning, I've branched out socially and have met some great people along the way and feel less lonely than I did a month ago. I don't feel the same spark that he may be feeling, but I don't want to be in this relationship if I know it's not going anywhere. Please help. \n\nEDIT: I just wanted to mention that we both have a lot in common, are in our early twenties, he's been in a relationship before for two months but it ended because it was long distance, and I've never been in a relationship before.",

I'm guessing that since the hard raid is coming out, **Trials wont be released for another 5-6 weeks because of the hard raid giving higher light gear.**\n\nAssuming that's true, then trials might be the priority for fixing the shadowshot glitch, so plan on getting destroyed in the crucible for another week instead of a fix tomorrow.\n\nI'll admit that this is how it should be, Trials being a complete endgame activity to get 320 legendary primaries instead of doing it tomorrow to get 310, waiting for the hard raid, and then going back into trials after to get 320. However this is still completely BULLSHIT, announcing new activities to (let me remind you we have paid for) participate in, and then retracting them the day before release? \n\nThose of you complaining about shards? Get ready to complain for a lot longer because now we get to grind the raid for the next 6 weeks again...\n\nAll I see is more and more ways for them to force us to play as long as possible so that the game holds value before the next wallet-fucking expansion. \n\n**P.S. fuck you for dropping my spindle, especially now that 320 will be available next friday...**",

Me [29F] with my boyfriend [36M] 4 years, how to get over a breakup in more unconventional ways? | 1 | 3 | [
"I got dumped last night. Well, not technically, but the writing has been on the wall for months now. A two-week \"break\" where we don't speak or touch each other, because we live together and only have one bed and can't just call it quits, is pretty much the same as getting dumped. So I feel fairly final about this. It's the first time I've let myself feel this way. \n\nNothing terrible happened, no strong irreconcilable differences, just tiny things that wore away at us over time. We love and respect each other and likely always will. I'll always talk about what a great guy my ex is. I'm very saddened that we couldn't make it work, and I'm confused about a lot now. \n\nSo what the fuck do I do now? Here's why the usual stuff won't work for me: \n\n- hang out with girlfriends, snotty-cry, eat unhealthy things and emotionally support each other: I don't have any girlfriends. I don't have any friends you can call up and do such a thing with. I'm not unfriendly; I'm just a loner. This actually didn't have anything to do with the dude. I've always been this way. I prefer my own company to that of others 95% of the time. My time with others tends to be of high quality because I'm picky. :) I just can't call up and schedule it whenever, though.\n- drink boatloads of alcohol: don't drink. Rarely, that is. Not a teetotaler or religious, but as I get older I feel like shit every time I do it, so I don't. Feeling shittier wouldn't help me heal from this. Quite the opposite. I gotta face it head on. \n- stay somewhere else: see above re: girlfriends. No family near. My dad is 6 hours away. \n- sleep on couch: can't sleep on anything but actual bed. It would be nice not to have his smell and very snuggleable body right next to mine, 'cause it's torture NOT to snuggle him, but we don't have another bed to go to. He is the same way, so I know he won't suggest he sleep on the couch.\n- gym: I hate gyms. I fucking hate gyms. Treadmills remind me of a bunch of hamsters on wheels and I can't see anything else. I love the outdoors, however. I can hike more...a lot more. \n- lawyer: LOL. It would cost more for the initial consultation than it would for the, like, 3 household items I actually own. I have my clothes, a few shitty pots and pans, and a few shitty dishes. That's it. \n\nI'm rambling and there's no clear question here, but this is my snotty-cry to Reddit, since I don't have anyone to do it with/to. How do you DEAL with this shit?!?\n\n\n\n \n**tl;dr**: Broke up, not feeling like a lot of healing options are left to me. Suggest!!"

"By romance i mean the cringeworthy mpdg type of romance you see in every romcom. Almost all these movies depict the wedding as the end, when it's actually the start of the rest of your life together with your SO! Romance, to me, isn't about sending someone 1000 roses or buying her a life-sized teddy bear, it's about all the small easily-overlooked details: sending a good morning text, grabbing that extra packet of reese's for him because you know he had a hard day at work or doing the dishes because you know he has a paper due tomorrow even though it's his turn to do the dishes that day. \n\nRant aside, I like the first gust of cold wind that signifies fall is coming, palm trees, watching the sun dip into the horizon, giant kitchen appliances (like a life-sized whisk-i've seen it at a bakery once!!!!), food pretending to be other food (mashed potatoes shaped like steak and pretending to be steak) and the free brown honey wheat bread from cheesecake factory!!!!",

"Hey everyone.\n\n**Here is my current roster**\n\n-----\n\n**The following list details my current setup:**\n\n1. All 1* characters are fully covered and leveled. \n2. All 2* characters are fully covered and leveled(with the exception of Bag-Man who is still missing one cover).\n3.

Is dying with immortality more tragic than dying as an invulnerable human? | 1 | 3 | [
"I was listening to Northernlion (a popular YouTube gamer), when he asked \"Is dying whilst immortal more tragic than dying from old age?\" He didn't get an opportunity to finish his train of thought, so I was left with more questions than answers.\n\nI have a general idea, that cutting of potentially infinite life is far worse than living to standard life expectancy. So I wanted to balance it out by using the polar opposite of immortality. Invulnerability. You can't die from physical trauma but you will die of old age.\n\nWhich is worse? Being forced to live out a potentially unhappy life, knowing you will expire eventually, or having your infinite life cut short, nullifying all the potential you have to make an impact.\n\nEdit: I realise the bias of the title. So the actual question is; Which is worse dying as an immortal or dying as an invulnerable human?"

"My group want some cyberpunk, and I recently got my hands into the new 5th edition book.

This means that I will have to learn and teach the game by myself. This is common when we try new games, so no problem here.

I appreciate your suggestions to try other systems, but I will either try Shadowrun or give up cyberpunk for a while. \n\nMe and my players, when it comes to established settings, prefer to use the intended rules. Apocalypse World and hacks have a tendency to modify and distort a setting so much during play that it becomes something else completely. Savage Worlds tend to produce very self-consistent and similar experiences no matter the setting. Fate is very bad for long campaigns of the zero-to-hero kind. Lighter narrative systems require a level of player proactivity that is not present at my table. You can't really get more complex than mixing GURPS Cyberpunk, Gurps Fantasy and Magic Rules (and I do love GURPS). I appreciate your suggestions and they might be useful for someone.\n\nSo, to reformulate my question: *For those of you who played and enjoyed Shadowrun as a whole, what would be the tips to learning and teaching the system by myself?*",

Look at it objectively now.\n\nNow is going to be the time to really take a look at everything and really try to get this right, if you want to launch for Steam and have it be successful.\n\nI have examples of crazy things to try, but first the way they should really handle the Public Test Server in the coming weeks if they're serious about this rebalance.\n\n* **Leave the PTS up for two days at a time** - This allows people to actually test multiple ideas and provide more feedback.\n* **Be quick with patches** - Up for two days, down for one day to apply a patch for changes, up for two days again. Keep it rolling constantly so you can test as much as possible.\n* **Incentivize the PTS** - You know what would be good for this? A grab bag event. For every match you complete on the PTS, get a goodie bag. 25 bags total or something.\n* **Incentivize Feedback** - Pick a \"best feedback of the session\" post for every two day PTS Session and award the user 500-1000 MC. This will (hopefully) bring quality feedback. Also create polls to answer, with a 10 MC reward for each question answered (or 50 MC reward for 1 question).\n\nNow, onto ideas that could be deemed crazy. Try them out for a session, PGI, and get player feedback. \"We're going to try this, this is what we're hoping to accomplish with the test\" will be important.\n\n**NOTE:** It's probably a bad idea to try all of these at once, but you never know.\n\n**Increase Medium Laser family weight by 1 ton each**. So MLas, MPLas, C-ERMLas, C-MPLas. Increase range by 50 meters on IS MLas to compensate.\n\n* Possible issues: \"MLasergate\" (M'laser), stock Mech issues.\n\n**Remove Ghost Heat from weapons** - Worth trying for at least one session.\n\n**Remove Single Heatsinks from the game** - Set every Mech to default with Double Heatsinks. Remove the DHS Tax, as it were.\n\n**If Max Radar Range > 1000, see through ECM** - Just something to experiment with Info Warfare.\n\n**Reduce PPC Damage and increase cooldown, but cause impacted target to temporary loss their target** - Experimenting with Info Warfare.\n\n**Related to above, set convergence based on if you have a target.** - Experimenting with making Warfare important. (SCREW YOU, /u/homeless-bill, I DO WHAT I WANT)\n\n**Give Mechs with low-mounted hardpoints increased defense WITHOUT loss of Mobility** - Since they have to expose themselves more to be competitive to high-mounted Mechs. Not likely the best solution, but an experiment to try.\n\n**Create TAG decay for Scout Mechs** - As rating for InfoTech increases, so does the time TAG stays active after releasing the trigger.\n\n**And other outlandish ideas**.\n\nAgain, these aren't specifically \"be all, end all\" balancing ideas. These are suggestions for crazy ideas that PGI could try to perhaps think outside the box. Create the idea, patch them into the PTS, leave it running for two days, then evaluate. Unless we're willing to experiment with new things, or even old things we once threw away, I fear we'll never make any meaningful progress towards a goal of a balanced, fun, and diverse game.\n\nGet some discussion going. Do you agree? Why or why not? If you do, suggest \"outlandish\" ideas that you think PGI should try. No idea is too crazy. Hell, they could be perfectly reasonable ideas or even previous ideas that were once discarded as balance shifted."

"Nintendo abandoned the holiday 2015 release of the new Zelda. It wouldn't be farfetched to assume that the game will not see a release until the later part of next year. A Fall release is possible, though a holiday launch seems more feasible. So that would mean that the game would see a delay of a whole year. I'm curious as to what your theories are for the delay.\n\n\n1) Do you buy the reasoning that they presented, which basically stated that development of the game is going smoothly but that they had some new great ideas that they wanted to expand on?\n\n\n2) We know that Nintendo themselves have never taken on a project of this scale and they seem to be making some serious changes to the series. So perhaps it's possible that they are running into development trouble (development hell)? \n\n\n3) Or do you think the reason for the delay has something to do with Nintendo's new NX console? This could explain why Nintendo has been so quiet towards the title.",
"So my 401k plan has decent funds and I made an okay portfolio out of them, except that every fund has an added 1% fee.

But how do I know when I have to leave? I look at the compounding fees and this extra fee has cost me thousands and it's compounding more every year I stay.\n\nNo chance of improving the plan. I've tried that for years with no improvements. Is there a conventional wisdom for how long this kind of situation is tolerable?

I feel lofi is usually a term used to describe recordings made on basic equipment by someone who probably doesn't have much engineering knowledge or experience, with most recordings lacking any real mixing or mastering. So it made me wonder how good you could get 'lofi' to sound, and at what point it loses the charm and starts so sound too polished. \n\nHave any of you guys had a go at this? I'd love to hear attempts from people who understand recording on a more informed level than the typical 4 track user."

"I remember when I started playing through some of my mom's chord charts to worship songs and learning music theory in high school, just playing some simple chords and singing a song was exciting to me, and pretty soon I started to make connections with the music I heard on the radio and the patterns I was learning. I probably drove people crazy at first, unable to resist pointing out my favorite musical devices I would hear in a store or on the radio: \"Oh that's a four to a minor four!\" The more I did this, the better I got at recognizing patterns in progressions and melodies, but I also started to feel more jaded and boxed in. It's hard for me to turn off that part of my brain and when I listen to music, although I still love a good pop song, it doesn't have the same magic when I'm thinking, OK, now we're on the flat 3, and there it goes to 4, 5, and...yep back to the one. Same with melodies. It's increasingly harder for me to compose things that feel \"fresh\" to me, because I've heard and analyzed so much music. It takes more complex things to really \"get me off\" on music now, and I'm often hesitant to dissect and figure out these more intricate compositions, for fear of taking away more of the magic. Many of my musician friends are amazed when I can hear a song for the first time and immediately sit down at the piano and do a basic rendition of it, but to me it sometimes feels more like a curse than a blessing. Ignorance can sometimes be bliss. \n\nThat being said, I feel that this is a crucial part of developing as a composer and musician, and it forces me to try new things and push my boundaries, but I sometimes wish I could just shut off that part of my brain and hear things without immediately trying to analyze them. Just be aware that if you go down this road and start to analyze and pick things apart, it will change your experience of music. At least it changed mine. I'd be interested to know what your opinion on this issue is."

Many thanks in advance.\n\nBack in 2013, I was in a car accident. An ambulance ride and hospital trip later, there was a bill totaling $13,000. I remember giving the EMTs and nurse my information (ID, updated address, and medical card). I was insured with my employer's health benefits at the time. During those months, I was dealing with all this + my mom's death and did not have a good tracking method of everything that was going on (not an excuse, just a confession of being unorganized).\nNow, I just received a letter from a collection agency for the ambulance ride to the updated address I'm currently at--I just took care of that. I couldn't find anything about the ER stay, so I went to the hospital and saw the balance of $11 which is now with the Department of Revenue.\nI reached out the insurance company and since timely processing has passed (I'm also no longer insured by them as my company switched to a different company), they don't want to pay for it. They noted the only exception is if the address was wrong, and in which, it was. The hospital took down my outdated address from my ID, and even then, they wrote it down as \"court\" instead of \"circle.\"\nEven with this, the insurance company is being pretty adamant in not wanting to pay, so I just obtained an itemized statement with the incorrect address to fax them and have not heard back. With the 11k balance in my face, I'm scared and don't know what the next steps would be. Anyone ever have to deal with health insurance companies and/or Department of Revenue?

"So after my one month thread i want to update you guys on my clomid experience.\n\nTotal T is up again. from 527 ng/dl to about 600 ng/dl and estrogen is still in range without any AI. The best thing is, that my sperm count went from shitty to almost normal.\n\n**Positive things:**\n\nI seem to be a person that definitely sees an improvement on clomid. The last month has been one of the best i had in a long time. Exams at uni went really well, it was actually my best semester so far. My mood has stabilized - my girlfriend is really happy with me again. She says i am way friendlier than before.\n\nI fell like a beast in the gym. All lifts went up significantly and i am finally able to get rid of my love handles. It seems like they are melting - without me eating less. I still get DOMS but they are different from the pain i had from exercising with low-t. I literally was in pain after exercising before but i thought it was normal. \n\n**Neutral things:**\n\nI am still aware of my mental state. I just came to realize that i had a full blown depression before clomid. I can't really shake of that negative mindset but i can handle it very well. I am definitely NOT feeling like superman or new born or whatever you might call it, but thats not a thing i was hoping for. \n\n**Bad things:**\n\nAs mentioned before, my night vision is really bad sometimes. Strangely just sometimes. I have driven at night sometimes now and it seems to be an on/off thing. Further i react really sensible to bright light surces. They give me those spots in my vision like you get them when you look directly into a the flame of a lighter. \n\n**Conclusion and outlook:**\n\nFor me it really does the job. The pros outweigh the cons so i will stick with it a little longer - just got a new script for another 3 months worth of clomid. As mentioned my SO an I are trying to make a little TRT_trash but that has not worked so far. So I'll continue to use clomid at least for that time. \n\nI am not sure what will happen afterwards, seems like my doc wants me to come off to see what happens. But thats far away and i am not yet concerned.\n\nThanks for reading!",

"I am currently a teksavvy customer with 15 Mbps and 400 GB bandwidth. I am also interested in upgrading to 25 Mbps. When researching prices of teksavvy as well as competitors, I saw that Vmedia had the cheapest plan at 49 dollars with the unlimited bandwidth. I would prefer to stay with teksavvy but since I did go over my bandwidth couple times, I feel that I am paying too much and maybe it might even be worth it to pay that extra to ensure I don't have to pay overage fees.

"Hi All,\n\nHave a QNAP TS-439 Pro II+ with latest plex (9.12.13 - Intel) server software. I can't for the life of me get it to download cover art and movie/tv details or access the downloading of any channels. It also won't login with my account for remote access. I have tried every thing i can think of. I used filebot to rename movies correctly and what not also. I tried an older version of server software (9.12.11) and still no joy. \n\nI thought maybe it was something to do with my router not allowing the connection?? or something but i know my NAS has internet access as i can download other QNAP apps, update firmware etc.\n\nJust this morning i decided to install plex server on an old laptop and throw a couple movies on there also to see what happens. Worked a charm. Downloaded artwork and all the movie info no problems. Logged into my account for remote access and even downloaded channels just fine. Guess it can't be router then as laptop on same network as the NAS. WTF!!! I am tearing my hair out.\n\nAnyone else have any idea what could possibly be going on? Or do we just blame it on the QNAP version of the server software and leave it at that. \n\nI should add i am accessing both servers from a Samsung TV. The TV will display content from both servers and play it just fine. It's just the issue with the QNAP not populating the artwork and movie data etc.\n\nCheers",
"So I've been thinking (yes be scared now)....\n\nAll kidding aside... I thought it would be useful if we think about expanding the wiki some. I'm relatively new to using reddit for anything other than passively browsing without even ever making an account, but I did have an idea of making a series of posts to help the creation of the wiki.\n\nThe main non--- 'new release','spo-il-er(messed up to avoid filters, b/c I'm not ruining anything)', and 'random discussion about a particular series' posts are of course [REC] posts where people ask for series in a genre, or series that have a specific trait (romance, non-violence, violence, NSFW sexuality, OP MC, harem, etc)\n\nSo my idea is to create a series of posts \n\"[META] List of series with: Romance\"\n\"[META] List of series with: Over Powered Main Character\"\n\"[META] List of series with: Harem\"\n\"[META] List of series with: NSFW Sexuality\"\n\"[META] List of series with: Wuxia \"\n....\netc.\n\nThen this would allow the forum moderators (or whomever else) to easily grab these threads and start building the wiki quickly. (distributing the workload of creating the list to all the users, and only making a single person(small group of people) 'combine' them into the wiki) \n\nPlus this has the added bonus of creating threads like that into THIS /r/ instead of possibly having to link to another /r/ where those posts might be deleted, made private, etc... So it creates a nice centralized thread that people who happen to search for something like that can 'stumble across', makes a thread we can link to if someone new posts a question like that, and helps fill in the wiki that can also be linked to/used for looking info up. \n\nThe reason I think separate threads is a great idea is b/c I didn't even realize an old /r/ had a wiki AT ALL until I found it from someone's comment in a [rec] thread. So in my opinion having both is ideal.\n\n~SpiderHack\n\n**SpiderHack, SpiderHack, Does whatever a SpiderHack does..... **"

"Hey folks,\n\nHoping for help with dealing with a debt collector. Here is the timeline:\n\nMay: I go to the doctor. I assume it is fully covered by my insurance. I receive no bills.\n\nAugust 25: I receive a letter from a local debt collection law agency in September telling me that I owe around $250.\n\nSeptember: I called the hospital, they confirmed they'd sent the bills to the correct address and said that the bills had been 'returned by the post office.' (???) I asked if I could pay them directly, they said yes but I needed to contact the debt collector first. I called the debt collector, leaving no identifying info. The debt collector said that I needed to pay them directly.\n\nSeptember 23: I sent a letter disputing the debt and saying that I needed itemized bills (which I do, to follow up with my health insurance company). I sent this just barely within the month cut off period-- a few days before a month from the date on the original letter (not sure when the original letter was postmarked). I did not send it certified mail, but I did keep a copy.\n\nSeptember 26: I received a second letter from the debt collector saying that since they had not received any notice of my disputing the debt, they were moving forward on collecting it.\n\nI would call them, but they don't yet have my phone number and I don't want them to get it.\n\nHow should I proceed? I am definitely willing to pay, but not until I receive an itemized bill so that I can follow up with my health insurance company and not until I can insure that it will not appear on my (pristine) credit report. \n\nThanks!",

Entry level essays for continental reading group? | 1 | 3 | [
"Hi all. First time poster here. So, I'm soon going to be running a few sessions of an undergraduate continental philosophy club at my university. Just for context, I'm an undergraduate myself, double majoring in literature and philosophy. I'm trying to come up with a shortlist of small articles/essays for the attending students to read. The way we work is, each session is centered around one reading which we send out in advance. Not all the attendees are philosophy majors, so we try and pick things which, even if the content is \"difficult,\" still have some kind of general appeal. Any suggestions for something that would be broadly appealing to the type of student who might elect to spend their evening attending a continental reading group? I'm really looking for things which are short, don't require a ton of context (as in, more context than I can provide while leading the discussion), and perhaps have some relevance to friendly or popular topics such as pop culture or current event stuff.\n\nAt the moment, I was thinking something like Benjamin's \"Art in the age of mechanical reproduction\" or perhaps some entry level Foucault? Maybe the always popular Nietzsche? Any help would be much appreciated, as this is my first time moderating such an event!"

"I've known him about a year and about a month ago we started hooking up. He is a great guy and treats me very well, especially since I was an abusive relationship for almost 4 years prior to meeting him. He was my co worker and always had a crush on me. We've just been friends, but he wanted more although I wasn't ready and wasn't interested for a long time.\n\nEventually our co workers bugged me enough about it and I started to see him as more than a friend. The sexual tension got pretty high at work and the first time we hooked up it was pretty passionate, and still is, but the only problem is he starts to get soft.\n\nI've been in a long term relationship so I know possible causes such as too much masturbation, not the problem in this case. Being nervous, also shouldn't be a problem at this point. Maybe because we are using condoms...I'm not sure. So I brought it up to him nicely when we were having a serious talk about us and he said it was because he tries not to cum too fast and so then he loses his erection. I explained to him I don't mind how fast he cums and he said ok good to know. So I thought it was resolved. That was last week and we had sex a couple days later and it was fine.\n\nThen today it happened again. I just wanted a quickie so bad and he ended up getting soft again. I'm on my period and just wanted to do it real quick, but he lost it and I kind of got frustrated this time. Other times I never showed any frustration but I knew he could feel my vibe this time.\n\nI really do like him and want to give it a shot, especially because we aren't co workers anymore and it feels like the right time, but I find my mind wandering because I'm not satisfied sexually with him and I think tonight he's going to ask me to be his girlfriend so I have no idea if this would be a good decision if I say yes. I'm also only the second girl he's been with and before me he's only done missionary and never even had a blowjob."

"Kinda vague question, lol. I just got an idea on videos would be made to help some new players in deciding what class they want to main or try out. F2P players as of now only have 2 character slot(honestly I think they should be 3), for some of them it might be just enough to be considered inconvenient and enough to just leave the game entirely. My reasoning for probably sounds a little silly but years of gaming have brought me to a conclusion the people are really fickle. Especially when their time or effort isn't too costly or not at all. That said, we all know GW2 is in need of some new fresh players, so I thought a video(s) on the classes with little more in-depth view or perspective, than what the game doesn't tell them, or what they haven't already found out yet or experienced. I originally had two layouts on this idea but I scrapped the first since it involves a video for each class and I felt that that would just be too much and beyond a certain \"niche\" I think that could exist with teach new players all the classes in a video format. Human speech has the tendency to feel readily more appealing and personal when spoken than read, such in a guide. Secondly, I think the other idea seems to fit your personality more.\n\nIn the second brainstorm, I thought of a video dedicated for beginners that would cover all the classes that could be short, long, or w/e. As long as it accomplishes its purpose. (I'm vague here because I have no idea how long WP would be descriptive or informative here, let alone video length). Later on, another video like 6, 9, or w/e months later after the beginner video, another video at maybe an intermediate level that assumes that beginners that watched the first video, are more apt at the game and possibly looking for more tips. Following the same idea as the second video, there'd be a third video focused on more experienced gameplay advice.\n\nAdditionally these videos could be supplanted and supported by prominent players and guilds of the GW2 community, in theory. However I understand I can't expect WP to get everything right, so input and class tips derived from said people would go a long way, in my opinion. I see WP as an astute, approachable, and experienced player; all of which are mentor-level traits. (Not saying any of the other great people who've taught and led the community are invalid)! \n\nThoughts?",

"I'm a 23/F and August 3rd of this year is my \"coming out\" birthday. My dad took it well. My mom has had a little more difficulty with it, but she told me that she loves me no matter what. I'm not upset at her for not understanding it right away. I've had all these years to come to terms with it and accept it myself. I love my mom, and I'm not about the judge and chastise the woman who birthed and raised me for not being able to understand it within a few months. \n \n\nAnyways, as I said, my mom is still trying to wrap this around her head. About a week after I came out, she wanted to \"talk.\" Oh god. She began saying that she was reflecting on my childhood, adolescence, etc. and said that she never saw any \"signs\" that I would be bi. Therefore, to her, this is a result of a bad string of hetero relationships. I tried explaining that, yes - while my previous boyfriends did not treat me well, my bisexuality is not a result of how those relationships went. It has been part of me all my life. There was no way to \"show signs\" as my home and school environment were conservative Christian when I was growing up. There was absolutely *no one* I could talk to about it. (Luckily, we've all pretty much broken away from the church which is why I was able to come out to them.) \n \n\nWhile I did appreciate my mom coming to me to try to understand me more, it was a difficult conversation to have. Little, baby tears were shed, but nothing dramatic. \n \n\nAfter that, I waited about a week before I saw or spoke to my parents just so the dust could settle a bit. When I did finally visit them, I said \"hi\" to my dad who was sitting on the couch. My mom was right there too. He said, \"Hi, mija. Come sit next to me.\" So I did, and he put his arm around me. Then in Spanish he said, \"Look. I know your mom talked to you the other day.\" \nOh man I started getting nervous. \n \nThen he blew me away with this: \"I told her to leave you the fuck alone and to stop bothering you. Now that you're out, the world is different for you, and there will be some added difficulties. There are going to be people who won't like you anymore or who will bother you, keep questioning you. BUT the last people you need to hear any bullshit from is us. We're your parents. We love you, and we support you no matter what, ok? So, she won't be asking you anymore questions like that.\" \nI wanted to just fangirl scream and hug him so tight, but I just smiled at him. I looked to my mom, and she smiled too. \nI love my dad so much.",
"Sorry to be morbid here, but does the \"end game\" prep for parents seem to start earlier for Asian/Asian-American elderly parents than for others?\n\nJust for reference, I'm in my late 20s, and I'm getting announcements for memorial services for my Asian-American friends' parents--probably at just slightly below the same frequency as wedding/birth announcements. People my age are paying for funerals, end-of-life care, and indirect things like buying them condos/houses where they can live out the rest of their lives. The latter is less about the house, and more about the \"be comfortable--here look, I can even provide a new house for you--and don't worry about me anymore\" thing. Stuff I can't hope to afford myself right now. \n\nThe Asian American parents passing away don't seem to be that much older than non-Asian American parents--in their late 50s to 60s. They seem to be dying from things like liver/pancreatic/other GI related cancers and diseases, which seem to have higher incidence among Asians. I wouldn't be surprised if there's something to be said for having immigrant parents who lived through wartime and places with bad infrastructure. \n\nI'm afraid to admit my fears about my own parents' remaining lifespan, but it worries me seeing what's happening to my Asian Americans' friends' parents. Meanwhile none of my non-Asian friends seem to have these concerns about their parents (maybe grandparents, but not parents) until maybe their 50s or so. \n\nDoes anyone else see this same discrepancy in how early people start worrying about taking care of elderly parents? I'm just finding it hard to relate to my mostly non-Asian friends when talking about caring for parents.",

Here is why I think Ingress will cease within the next 6 to 9 months | 1 | 3 | [
"There are a few hints, both in game and IRL that lead me to believe Ingress is coming to an end.\n\n**IRL**\n\n* Niantic is cutting back on spending which could mean that money is running out. There have been no anomalies this summer and Niantic is encouraging community driven and led events. Endgame is nowhere to be seen, it seems the project got quietly unplugged. Ingress Obsessed has not come back and will not come back for a third season, both actresses have moved on to different projects.\n\n* Niantic got spun off from Google. We don't know what that means but everyone wonders how Niantic makes money. Personally, I would be surprised if a few in game sponsored item and passcodes given out by partner brands can keep afloat a company employing 60-ish employees in San Francisco. Those Bay area engineers don't come cheap. Google probably still owns 100% of it and can keep dumping money into it, but I don't see how Niantic can be profitable as an entity of its own. Whatever Ingress' purpose is, whether it's data collection or a proof of concept for something bigger, after over 2 years (probably 3 with beta) and the Pokémon Go announcement, it's possibly filled its purpose.\n\n* That brings us to the elephant in the room, Pokemon Go. That's going to be a large source of revenue: physical items like the bracelet and in game purchases are going to be a cash cow. Will Niantic have the will and resources to keep both Ingress and Pokémon Go going? Or in business terms, will Niantic keep both a cash cow and a money pit going, and will Nintendo be OK with that?\n\n**In game**\n\n* No significant tweaks to the game in a long time. We got the sojourner badge in February and some sponsored items but there have been no push to increase game play (reduced cool down, higher AP, bonus drop rates) in quite some time. New badges so level 16 became much more attainable but no new levels.\n\n* Portal submissions have been disabled, and I don't see them coming back. The seer badge got decommissioned, the submission queue will be processed and that'll be the end of new portals coming live.\n\n* Yesterday I read an article from 2013 saying the story line would wrap up in about two years (of course I can't find it now). I don't follow the storyline but I do watch the Ingress Report videos, and it seems every character got killed off in it. \n\n* The next anomaly is named Abaddon, which is a reference to a place of hell, total destruction, the apocalypse, something big and bad. If you had to pick a name for the last anomaly, this would be a good one.\n\nAll those events, put together, lead me to believe Ingress is coming to an end. This anomaly will be the last, or the announcement that the anomaly after that will be the last, the storyline will be wrapped up and the game will slowly be ramped down between the last anomaly and the launch of Pokemon Go. \n\nWe will all look up from our phones and say \"oh, I never noticed that this was there, it wasn't a portal\"."

"Let's have a discussion on this... I can't help but feel like these maps have so much more to offer than the inside of the buildings. Ever look around the warehouse map on the outside? It looks perfect for an actual firefight, but I digress... \n\nI think it's fine to say that I'm outside when I am, that's fine, I could see it as some helicopter support spotting me from far away and giving intel to the team or something.. But to give away my exact position with my name above my head at all times, it just feels absurd. Not only that, but the fact that it also makes my screen blurry and orange-tinted it quite strange. What is the realistic cause for them knowing my precise location at all times? What is the cause for the orange tinted screen? \n\nLet's be honest, is it game balancing? I don't think it is, why should we be forced to stay inside the house? If I jump out a window and flank around behind them and manage to kill multiple people then that is their fault for letting it happen, players need to be aware of more than the inside of the house. Make use of the entire map. If I want to go out and post up outside so that I can attempt to take some out before they get me, then I helped the team out a lot and my teammates now only have to defend from 2 people instead of 5. \n\nI think it's coddling, I'm fine with playing offense with the idea of a chance of an enemy player hiding in the bushes. Be more careful. As it is right now you feel invincible when you're outside, which is a joke. I mean, the way it is right now it's shocking when a defensive player shoots out a window at you from the spawn. Most players just run straight towards the house regardless to cover and can easily be shot down from a window by a good player. There should be a constant danger so long as you're playing, regardless as to whether you're in or out of the house.\n\nI think if you're outside, your screen should be totally normal, and they should have an indicator showing that someone is outside, and MAYBE an indicator showing the general area they may be in, but to have someone's name above their head at all times eliminates the chance for the game to be fair for both teams. Why must we be confined to the inside of the house? \n\nLast night I was playing against a team and half of their players really liked going outside, which made the game far more exciting, but having their specific location at all times made it far too easy, I just hard aimed the wall and the second he popped his head up I one shotted him in the head. Unfair. He should have had the chance to fight back, and if he beats me, he beat me fair and square.",

[EU-NL] [H]Keycool 87 (MX Clears) with Universal Plate [W]Paypal or IBAN | 1 | 3 | [
"**Keycool 87 LE 'Year of the Dragon'**\nThis was one of my first boards after the Déck Legend because I love MX Clears. This board is from the time when KeyCool still made quality boards with MX switches.\nThe original version had weird stem placements for the spacebar so I had it resoldered with a stainless steel universal TKL plate. \nSwitch tops can be removed without resoldering and the LEDs on Caps lock, Scroll lock and F12 have SIP sockets for an easy change of color. \n\nAll in all it is a great board for someone who wants to try Clears (because they work best on stiffer plates) or as a first TKL board.\n\nProof of ownership\n\n*Photos:*\n\nOrignal caps\n\nBetter view of the plate\n\nExample\n\n*Other specs:*\n\n- Modded Costar Stabs. Now works smoothly.\n\n- Cherry MX Clears (MX black on the Caps lock but I can switch it to MX Clear if you want.)\n\n- Comes with the original keycaps + extras. (not sure if the red spacebar fits. It has the older stem spacing)\n\n- SIP sockets on Caps lock, Scroll lock and F12.\n\n*Condition:*\nThe keyboard is used but with the exception of a few scuffs around the Home-cluster, arrow keys and underside it looks good. \nKeycaps show no shine or signs of usage because I pretty much always used the board with other sets.\n\n*Price:*\n$110"

"So agitated right now - Baby was prescribed a liquid antifungal med for thrush on Saturday, with instructions saying \"apply 1 ml on each side of mouth four times a day.\" Hubs and I both read this as 8 ml day...

"Simple enough, any attack made by a mounted player has a set amount of extra damage added on. \n\nI was thinking about 1-1.5 hearts extra, so nothing major. Just enough to make it a bit more interesting to fight with horses.\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\nBecause, lets be honest, fighting someone who is riding a horse is not actually that intimidating. \n\nIt's more of a nuisance because you know that they can just run off and heal if you hurt them too much.\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\nWhile the person riding the horse into combat has had to find, tame, saddle, potentially armour their horse and then navigate around, bridge, drag/shove their horse across any large bodies of water to reach the fight. \n\nAnd once they are in combat they have to put up with reduced accuracy when attacking and a larger overall hit box due to the horse (Though these aren't as much of an issue if you are used to them I suppose). \n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\nI honestly feel that a tiny bit of extra damage would be nice for horse riders because it would make horse combat a bit more interesting than it being the same as foot combat but at a much faster speed.\n\nAnd it would provide more of a reward for the effort put in in survival Minecraft than knowing that you can run away from combat if you get into trouble.",
"So my 2.0L wrx motor (pre-2006) just failed, and the mechanic said there was only about 2 quarts of oil left in the car. He said after ~3000 miles it's normal for this much oil to have been consumed, and is blaming the failure on my negligence.\n\nI was absolutely floored. I totally understand that \"turbo engines will consume some oil during normal operation\" but the idea that it's normal to burn a half gallon or more in between oil changes shocked me. I thought that I had done extensive research leading up to my purchase and I'm torn apart by my accidental negligence leading to this failure. I can't believe I never saw or heard that *it's totally normal to* ***need*** *to add 1-2.5 quarts between oil changes.* That definitely would have stuck with me as something unusual about the car that I needed to remember.\n\nI called my buddy who is way more of a car guy than me (for several years he drove an SC300 with twin turbo 1JZ he and a friend swapped in in their garage), and asked him about it. He said he'd never heard anything about WRXs consuming that much oil, and that his SC was burning ~1 quart every 4-5k miles.\n\nThis consumer reports article says that subaru considers 1 quart every 1000-1200 miles acceptable, which backs up the mechanics claim.\n\nHow much oil do your cars burn?

"Hey Dyrus,\n\nJust wanted to give two cents on this, just to make sure you're considering all the angles as you head out of the pro scene. The kind of stuff you've hinted at revealing is obviously in high demand, and further will probably be translated and hit other languages and a lot of news outlets are going to be drooling to make buck.\n\nThis is an opportunity where you could look at releasing in a more professional form, possibly through a ghost-writer of sorts, and see if you're able to both monitize the reveal and potentially get yourself a new professional niche going forward. Looking at how Link handled his reveal, and how much -better- it could have been, I just wanted to make sure you're giving thought to your post-play future and handle this one with professionalism, as you saw the way Link basically ostracized himself.\n\nGood luck man!

" part 1\n\nSo I posted a list of things that I discovered while working as an investigator for my school newspaper, and I remember that I actually discovered a lot more things. It's currently October, and I remember that it wasn't long ago (it was like last month) that one of my friends asked about the Journalism class I was in. She told me if I was still in there. Unfortunately, at the time, I was still in the class. And I continued to learn about things I didn't want to learn about in the first place. \n\nI present another list of what I learned:\n\n1. Through research of the area surrounding the new bridge, I learned something troubling. The new bridge that was being built wasn't just destroying and demolishing a pond, it was also demolishing a nearby cemetery. A lot of the workers had also been seen pulling out skeletons from the ground, and throwing them in garbage bins and even encasing them in cement and making them part of the bridge. One worker was even recorded peeing in one of the graves by one of the students of this school. Then I heard from a local news source that the bridge workers had encountered yet another dead body, this time of one of their companions. His fingers had been sliced off and stuffed into his mouth. Then soon after that, a rabid dog mauled and ate the hand of one of the other workers, causing him to bleed to death. \n\n2. Remember the one I told you about the science fair winner who was beaten to death by his father, and then later his father was found gruesomely murdered? I actually found out through a close friend that his sister muttered something about \"taking revenge\" to him, and later that night was when the father was found murdered. There was also rumours that the girl kept lots of knives in her room, and even fashioned a torture device with a metal bed frame and a bunch of exposed electric wires. This close friend of mine told me that it was true. I wondered why he knew this, and he told me that he had been really close with her since kindergarten, and that she let him see her room if he promised not to say anything about it. I may have done some eavesdropping by the area, and I heard the detectives working the case say that the father's corpse was actually found on the metal bed frame. \n\n3. The girl who committed suicide actually committed suicide in the same bathroom where the other girl, the bully, had her eye gouged out. The rumours stated that she had killed herself at night in her house, but her close friend told me that she found her hanging in the school bathroom one day, and that the school forced her to keep her mouth shut and even bribed her with money. Something is amiss about the school doing this. Why would they have paid her to keep quiet about the suicide? Also, the bully girl who threw herself off the bridge had not actually thrown herself off just because of the eye. She had a secret that she shared with the girl she bullied, but I still haven't gotten down to the bottom of that. \n\n4. The parents of the kid with the growth on his head that was found dead by the bridge were both found dead in the same area. The autopsy report on the newspaper that I read and recognized the last name on, \"Collins\", said that the two parents were found with cement in their lungs, throats and stomachs, and that both persons appeared to have been sobbing in pain at the time of death, judging by the large amount of tears around their eyes. A gruesome discovery that proved that they were the killers was the growth, stuffed in a bag and left by the river in the same area where the two bodies were found that I had the misfortune of finding during lunchtime when I snuck out over to the bridge to investigate. Who would want to keep such a thing? Who would want to keep such a disgusting item with them? I feel like his parents were probably really deranged people. Killing their own son, and then keeping his severed tumor as a trophy? Damn. Just...damn.\n\nI'll be sure to post more of my findings later if I continue to remember them."

"Hi, I tried searching for similar issues here but haven't had much luck filtering results. I've also tried Googling the problem, and it seems to affect a fair number of people, but never found a solution.\n\nI built a PC a year ago (4790k, GTX 980), and it's never had an issue. In the last few months, I noted that it just stopped being able to put itself to sleep. Honestly, I never noted exactly when this started, but I'm willing to bet it was at the Windows 10 upgrade. \n\nThing is, I can manually put it to sleep without issue, and it'll stay asleep. Also, curiously, if I first boot up and leave it at the login screen, the PC will actually automatically go to sleep after a while. When I login, it'll stay on indefinitely. This despite numerous tinkering with power settings.\n\nFollowing advice I happened across in Google adventures, I checked every last thing in the device manager to disable 'allow device to wake PC'.

[Player Discussion] Mike Wallace | 1 | 3 | [
"It seems a lot of people dropped Wallace last week and just gave up on the guy. Currently owned by 72% of people in yahoo (80% last week.) He had his best game Sunday, caught 8-of-10 targets for 83 yards and a touchdown. With AP back and getting to the way he was before he was injured, does this help Wallace in the long run? \"Mike Wallace believes the Vikings' deep passing game will get going soon.\" \"When you have a guy like (running back Adrian Peterson) who's playing the way he's playing, (defenders) are going to come up,\" \n\nI only bring Wallace up because he is on my WW but what are some thoughts going forward?

"Hi all,\n\nSupporters of Li Yong-Rui and Pranav Antal have both been taking an increasing interest in system flipping lately, but we lack the manpower to simply brute-force a system the way we want it to go. We also have very little information on how some of the more obscure system flipping mechanics work.\n\nFor instance, does selling a load of trade goods in a system actually make a measurable difference to the controlling faction's influence? How about if someone kills hundreds and hundreds of system authority vessels? How about taking a load of missions then abandoning them all?\n\nI propose a joint venture between Sirius Gov and Utopia to run some experiments on some low population systems between our territories that are so useless we can be pretty sure no other players are involved beyond our experiment team.\n\nThis will only work if we get a decent amount of buy-in, say at least half a dozen, so before I do any more work on this, just thought I'd see if that's something people would be interested in perusing and dedicating some time to?",

Only Krul and Rona where left standing. Rona looked at the demon square in the eye. Krul wanted her blood. She gripped her axes and leaped to Krul. Bones and metal clashed. Rona kept her ground.

"So before i say what I want to achieve let me tell you few things about me so you would get a sense of my current skill.\n\nI've been playing for some 10+ years as a hobby (never professionally) and I would consider myself a good guitarist. I enjoy and play all kinds of guitar music but Metal happens to be my favorite. I can do more than decent rhythm shredding like Lamb of God's Laid to rest and Megadeth's Holy Wars, able to pull them off with clean notes and good speed.\n\nHowever solos is where i suck. Not that I don't have a decent speed, I can do some solos. For example I can pull 80% of Master of puppets solo but thats just me learning it note by note. I want to get behind the theory and logic behind solos.\n\nI wan't to learn the scales, pentatonics and everything that makes a solo work, in other word I lack practice and discipline. See, I enjoy playing so much that I almost never practice, and I don't want to just practice solo after solo, I want to get behind the logic of it so I would have better understanding of the fretboard and start to do my own solos. I basically need to practice, speed picking, swiping, hammer on, pull offs and playing on frets with both hands. \n\nI have basic understandings of music theory and I can read notes, what I need is a guide, because wherever I want to start I don't know where because I can not afford a teacher to see my current skill so he can take me from there. I just never seem to make that jump to solos. So If somebody can point me to a lesson program that is applicable to my current skill i would be very grateful because I have no idea where to start.\n\nthank you in advance my fellow guitar enthusiasts.",
"I've only lived in the US for a little more than a year. I moved here because I got a job offer.

"(Worm spoilers follow, naturally. SCP Foundation spoilers would follow if they existed.)\n\nCrawler, from Worm, is a practically indestructible former human. Unfortunately, the Worm wiki is holier than Charlie Brown's ghost costume, but Crawler's wiki page]( does at least include a description of how he appeared at the time he first appeared in the story. To summarize: He is *massive* (his head alone is the size of a small car), has many scythe-like claws and several tentacles, and spits a caustic venom. This venom is described as not merely being toxic acid, but also containing enzymes which break flesh down to make more enzymes. When injured, Crawler regenerates with incredible speed; Jack Slash states that [\"Crawler’s healing powers appeared to play out in fast-forward when compared to even the regenerators who could heal wounds in seconds. Hundreds of pounds of flesh were replaced in one or two heartbeats.\" particles. The adapted limbs seemed to have at least some of the properties of nano-thorns. Aside from such extreme adaptations to threats, the general form of Crawler's mutations seems to follow some unknown \"plan,\" as Crawler's clones began to develop many of the same physical changes as each other and the original. Crawler is a masochist, and actively seeks enemies which can injure him; doubtless, he has long since adapted past the point of self-harm being effective.\n\nSCP-682, from the SCP Foundation, is a practically indestructible reptilian monster. As a shapeshifter, its size and shape vary, but its typical size fits within a five-meter (~16-foot) cube. SCP-682 is capable of regenerating itself from injuries, though not with the extreme speed Crawler demonstrates; it also adapts, either developing immunity (such as mirrorlike hide to combat a laser or growing eyes for SCP-173) or simply assimilating anomalous or unusual abilities used against it; however, these adaptations seem to be temporary. SCP-682 also exhibits a remarkable ability to ignore almost any form of lethal attack. A record of things which were used to try and kill SCP-682—that is, things which SCP-682 has survived—can be found here. It should be noted that nearly all of these temporarily damaged or even disabled SCP-682; recovery from even minor wounds takes at least several minutes, and SCP-682 can apparently engage in a rampage without significantly recovering from major wounds. SCP-682 is an enigma, an omnicidal maniac, possibly a sadist and/or psychopath.\n\n---\n\nCrawler has more raw physical power, in size, strength, and regenerative speed. In addition, his adaptations are more open-ended and permanent. SCP-682 has more limited adaptations and regeneration, but is more versatile in general due to its shapeshifting, as well as being far, far more durable.\n\nI don't think the question is \"who would win\". I don't think either has the means to kill the other; 682 lacks tissue transmutation (such as that which killed the original Crawler) or the level of total destruction offered by nano-thorns (which killed the clones); anything it could use—including the few abilities it could assimilate from Crawler—would be largely ineffective to begin with and would grow more so between blows. But Crawler has even less of a chance of killing SCP-682, which multiple beings of god-like power have been unable to injure, permanently affect, or sometimes even *contain*. Neither possesses battlefield removal or destruction abilities, nor a likely route to obtaining them. The question today is, instead, a more general question of what would happen. Would Crawler severely damage 682 before getting serious damage? Would 682 find a way to injure Crawler, causing him to mutate to ever-greater heights of power? What sort of collateral damage would we expect, and when would the two grow frustrated and leave the fight—and who would leave first?",

They will likely have their super by round 3-4, as will everyone else. Many supers counter Sunbreaker quite hard, Nova Bomb, Nightstalker, Fist of Havoc, Golden Gun.

Stop whining about release/version notes | 1 | 3 | [
"Okay, sorry for the inflammatory title, but this has been getting under my skin recently. Rather than whine about it myself, I figured I'd take a couple minutes to talk about WHY developers are doing THIS with their release notes. \n\nLet's imagine you have an app. A really well known app. An app with lots of complexity and features. Let's also imagine that you're hard a work building new and exciting features for your users. Now each time you're ready to release one of these exciting features, you have a history of \"Get-off-my-lawn-ers\" whining and complaining about how you've changed everything and the new app sucks. Or maybe that's not the case; maybe you're not sure that feature is 100% the right way to go, and you just want to see how a certain subset of your users reacts before incurring the cost/development/whatever to make it a full-blown production feature. \n\nWhat's a developer to do? This: You release the app to a small set of your users, see how they use it, gather feedback, measure performance. Then you use that information to make data-driven decisions, rather than guessing about what you *think* people want. \n\nMakes sense right? - Actually it seems like it makes so much sense that any multi-million dollar corporation that's primary use comes from an app, would be literally insane to make decisions any other way. You *only* make data-driven decisions, or you lose to the hundreds of competitors trying to improve on your brand. \n\n\nNow, here's the problem. You can't. :( You can only release your app in an all-or-nothing fashion. Sure, you could do something like create a new app in the store for people interested in beta features, but that would be a self-baising group and you'd never get accurate data. Also imagine that you're not testing 1 group of new features, but tens to hundreds, all with different users groups. \n\n\nUntil someone came up with a clever solution. \n\n\nJust release the new features in secret. Only enable them for that small subset of accounts, and gather feedback. The code is on everyone's device, but only a minuscule fraction are actually seeing the new functionality. Genius!\n\n\n... but there's still a problem. If you talk about those new features in the update notes, you're breaking Apple's ToS by \"lying\" to your users. 99.99% of them will NOT see those features. Oh? you want to just leave the new \"beta\" features out and just release regular production release notes? Still \"lying\" to those beta customers who ARE getting new functionality. \n\n\nSo what's a developer to do?\n\n \"We're always making changes and improvements to our app\" - Some you see, some you don't"

But with Seattle losing Defensive Coordinator Dan Quinn (New Head Coach in Atlanta), Byron Maxwell (CB) and Tony McDaniel (DT) gone to other teams, two of their safeties out: Earl Thomas (shoulder) and Chancellor (holding out for some pennies), changes had to be made.\n\nHere are some quotes and stats.\n\n**Sherman played 59 snaps in Week 1, and on 23 of those he was lined up somewhere other than left cornerback, often in the slot.**\n\n>\"He did great,\" said Pete Carroll. \"He’s going to be a factor whenever we use him in there. It’s a real plus that we’ve had the opportunity to mix him in. It depends on the matchups each week and how it goes and the different things we’re trying to get done. **It’s nice to have that flexibility.** We’ve never had that before. He’s really taken to it.\"\n\nAccording to Pro Football Focus, **Sherman played 13 coverage snaps in the slot Sunday, more than any other Seahawks defender.** To put that into context, he only played 19 coverage snaps in the slot all of last year. The trend could continue in Week 2, **considering Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb had more catches (75) from the slot than any other player in the league last season.**\n\n**TLDR: Please stop regurgitating that Sherman only plays one side, and the offense dictates who is paired up against him. It is a new year. Sherman will be moving to cover the threat Seattle wants him on. The change in this aspect of Seattle's Defense is going to alter how you play WRs against SEA, or at least it should.**\n\nSo with James Jones being the hot pick this week, consider that he might be TD dependent. And if Sherman is fluid in where he lines up, we could see him shadowing Cobb all game, but on Jones in the red zone. I am not going to pretend that is going to be 100% the case, but the \"Sherman only lines up on one side, and Green Bay will decide who he faces\" mentality is now 100% wrong moving forward.",

"On my commute home this evening, I noticed as I came off the M1 that there was a loud hard tapping noise coming from the engine area. The noise increased in loudness and frequency with RPMs and would disappear when I pulled the clutch in. Baby vara is up to 41k miles now, so figured something must have worn out. Seems to have come on real quick.\n\nI'm going to check oil, sparks, cam chain - any other ideas what it might be? Not had this problem yet so hoping it's nothing too serious!",
"I've been updating you guys, and here's another email.... What do you guys think? \n\n(Keep in mind we have sat and talked it out on multiple occasions.)\n\nDear A,\n Let's start with I love you too. You know I would never do anything to intentionally hurt you. Unfortunately whatever happened in the past we cannot control. But families talk things out, and we have to talk this out. I believe your Dad mentioned the same. Your dad is a mess and is waiting to hear from you as you promised. You have no idea how I feel when you say you don't feel safe. I gave you life and brought you in this world and have been watching out for you ever since. You shut the whole family out of your life. Every one feels sick me included.\n You are a legal adult and I know that. But this is your home and it's hard for me to understand why you did not talk to me about it. We have always been able to talk things out. We support whatever you want to do and more importantly want you to be successful. Let's talk about your endeavors. I really do not like this method of communication it is just too difficult to express true feelings. \n You can make your own decisions but not giving us a chance to talk this out like a mother and a daughter should makes me heart broken. I can meet you where ever you want to talk not strings. In our faith we forgive other for their trespasses and move on. \nLove you,\nMom",
