I am both an alcoholic and a successful Math student at a top European university. | *this is a throwaway account*
As the topic says. I am a student of mathematics at a top 5 European university. I also have around 24 bottles of beer a day and usually start drinking before my morning classes.
I realize that people my age tend to view heavy drinking as something tough or "manly", but I assure you tha... |
So, how's the goal list going? | It's been a few days since we've discussed the goal list we made up a few months ago, and I was wondering how everyone was doing.
One month updates here, in case you joined us then. |
i could care less or, i couldn't care less? | everyone always says 'i could care less', but doesn't that mean that they don't care that much? Is it like 'anyway' where everyone always says 'anyways' but you really never have to put an 's' after anyway.. EVER?! |
So, that hissing sound? Is that bad? | I was chipping off the ice damn that was on my mini-fridge... tl;dr, I was only hitting the ice, when there was a distinct hisssssss. No smells.

Where in the U.S. would you like to visit? | I have a friend with a free airline ticket to anywhere in the contiguous 48 states. He doesn't know where to go. If you had his ticket, where would you travel and why would you go there?

Rule #2: You can't go somewhere to visit family or friends.

RST: Clarification on the seeds and round 1.5 | I misjudged somethings in the last post so I forgot to mention this, but in order to compensate for the fact we have 70, 6 of the higher ranked players play off against 6 winners of the first round, to get into round 2. Rather than removing 6 people I would rather they had a good game to take away from this :) So the w... |
Hey Reddit: What was your worst panic attack? | I have them pretty frequently in the middle of the night. The last one was at a job interview; as I sat there waiting to be judged, my adrenalin shot up, my heart rate increased, and I could feel this imminent welling in my chest. I got up and left without explanation when I felt myself on the verge of tears. Not re... |

I've lost five years of home sex movies through a botched Win7 upgrade. Could anyone please help me recover them? | While upgrading from Vista to Win7, there was an error and I could simply upgrade. All of my files were kept, but I had to reinstall all of my programs. In this process, the large cache of home movies my wife and I have made over nearly five years has become inaccessible. I had them encrypted with the program MyLock... |
My 2008 Prius has the braking issue they're now talking about | It happens when I am braking and go over a metal grate which causes momentary loss of traction - when that happens the ABS kicks in and stops ALL braking for about 1/2 to 1 second. It's never really bothered me and never occurred to me that its a problem, but thinking about it, it does change your stopping distance. ... |
reddit, my friends, I have a problem with mice strutting around my house like they own the place. How do I make them, disappear? | I have recently developed a mouse problem in my house. Now, they are cute, but totally annoying. I have tried standard lethal and non-lethal traps, using both chocolate and peanut butter. These jerks are just too dumb to know good (deadly) food when they see it. A cat or dog is not an option, sadly. What say you? ... |
Ask /r/cookbook What are your tuna variations? | Long story short I'm eating Tuna salad almost everyday. What variations to the mayo, relish, and 2 egg whites do you suggest? |
DAE think it is weird that MLB hasn't banned chewing tobacco during games? | I feel like all major sports have a big issue with how the players are role models for the young generation, yet they continue to let guys chew during games. I know some say it "tradition", but really? It's banned in the minor league. |
What's the best non-alcoholic, non-sweet drink you know? | My wife doesn't like alcoholic drinks. No high-falutin' idealism, she just doesn't like the taste (and she's tried just about everything). She's also not a big fan of hyper sweet drinks like pop, but would like something that she could sip over the course of a dinner that's not OJ.
What are your suggestions? (O... |
DAE forget to set your alarm clock, but wake up at the right time anyway? | This happened to me for the third time this week. I don't know why I'm forgetting to set my alarm clock, but I'm waking up exactly 5 minutes before it would go off anyway. |
Neiman-Marcus cherged me $250 for a cookie recipe, so I'm sharing it with the internet. | My daughter & I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas & decided to have a small dessert. Because our family are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus Cookie". It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe and they said with a small frown, "I'm afraid no... |
To all Super Bowl advertisers | I'll be watching the Super Bowl. I'll have a good time. I will also have pen and paper to take notes about who is advertising on the Super Bowl.

Am I normal for an amateur? | So I'm writing a book and I'm editing a particular section of a particular chapter. Trouble is it is taking a lot of passes to get it "right".

Is the fact that I am revisiting the same section multiple times... |
What are '2012 truthers' trying to prove anyway? And why?! | I have a friend of mine working in the NASA GISS. He's been there for about 3 years now and I suppose if he knew that the world was ending in 2 years that he'd be freaking the fuck out right about now...
What the fuck is the deal with those people who think they know better than NASA scientists and engineers? How ca... |
Does all matter exhibit properties of a wave and a particle? Does the duality exist even for macro objects? Or is it all a simplification? | I ask this because I was seeing one of Feynman's talks at the U of Auckland in 1979 and he said with great conviction that light is a particle and not a wave. He was able to dismiss all the wave-like behavior based on a single premise: that light behaves with a probability (he didn't elaborate where that probability c... |
Need advice: Bought a new Macbook Pro a month ago. Three days ago I splashed literally a drop of herb tea on the track pad. The cloth I grabbed to wipe it wasn't very absorbent and a miniscule amount of liquid seeped through the cracks. Now the trackpad doesn't click. What should I do? | To explain further, the pad physically clicks, but has no effect on software. (USB mouse works fine.) The reason for my quandary is that I've read Apple doesn't cover damage caused by spills, and that they've installed some kind of liquid detection technology in their latest models. I don't know whether to bluff my way... |
Women of r/Fitness - What is your workout regiment during your menstrual cycle? | My wife has been working out with me for a while now, but when she's on her period, she is quick to bail on working out. Are there routines you do that ease the physical discomfort of menstruation? Any tips or advice for a husband to empathize but still push her in her fitness? |
A man littered in front of me. I asked him to pick it up, he told me to pick it up. What would you have done/replied? | I was sitting at a sidewalk cafe. The man was with his girl and tossed something at the garbage can and missed. He got up to use the bathroom inside and I told him he missed the garbage can. He said he'd pick it up later. He came back out and left with his girlfriend without picking it up. I called after him, "you're r... |
Hi Reddit, Need your help in buying a puppy. | Hi Reddit, I am looking for a pug puppy which I found. However, I like to know your help in deciding if this ad is a scam or not. I have been e-robbed before on other similar websites. Someone posted a puppy and asked for the payment, but I never received the puppy. The person was responding promptly before the payment... |
NASA enthusiasts, please weigh in on our moon arguement. | So my roommate and I are in a heated debate about why there are no more manned moon missions.
He thinks that NASA has no reason to visit the moon as we've exhausted all the data we can get and thus not even a priority.
While I'll agree it's not a top priority, if NASA had more funding they would most certainly lov... |
Kids with Autism and marijuana | Here is a news article i found on Youtube dealing with a kid named Sam who struggles with Autism and how he found stability with the ganj.

Rethinking Richard Dawkins | First, a disclaimer of sorts. I agree with the vast majority of what Richard Dawkins writes and says. This is true not only of his points of religion and creationism, but also the broader topics of education, metaphysics, and natural philosophy. I also am well aware that he makes his coin by being outspoken -- that ... |
HAE replaced their tanked water heater with a tankless water heater? | I'm thinking of replacing my big tanked water heater with an inline water heater.

Any Skillet fans out there? I saw/met them last night. Best night ever! | My best friend and I did a 3 hour road trip to State College, PA last night to see Skillet, Puddle of Mudd, and Shinedown.

DAE feel like a ghost sometimes? | I don't mean an ethereal, spiritual ghost but like an existential one. Over the years, I've met and promptly been forgotten by people. I'm not sure if it's a certain type of person or the nature of the interaction but I've met people and inevitably when I see them again they do not remember me. I'd understand if I were... |
President Obama is christian, does that mean he is just another ignorant, fairytale worshiper? | I am an atheist, but I hardly ever hear of ANY criticism of anyone who isn't religious AND conservative. All I see in /politics and /atheism is how conservatives who believe in "gawd" are idiots, morons, ignorant, retarded, ruining our country.. blah blah.
The religious part isn't just a descriptor, it's part of the ... |

Then I turned on my TV because I was extr... |
Why does there seem to be such a poor understanding of agnosticism vs atheism in the non religious community? | When someone asks if you believe in a particular god, you only have two possible answers: yes or no. Why people choose to throw epistemological questions into the mix is beyond me. If you are asked 'do you believe in my god?', an answer of 'im agnostic' doesnt answer the question in the slightest. It's mostly just a... |

Does anybody remember school assemblies where you were forced to donate money to charity to attend? | I remember that there was student karaoke, a dance, and a walkathon (usually on a really nice spring day) like this.

Hey Reddit, describe a time which forced you to make a very tough/murky ethical decision? | To be clear for those who might not be, ethics is essentially a study of competing notions of what is right. It is different from a study of morals because morals tend to be more cut/dry. For example, most people would agree that it would be moral to donate to charities or to help the homeless when you are able.

I was about 60bb for my short 200 hand session then ended up running into a few coolers in the next 100 hands:

She's definitely grasping ma... |
First Photography Show Pricing Question | I suspect this has been answered but I had trouble finding pricing relating to non-studio situations.
I will be having my first photography showing tomorrow at my town's equivalent of art-walk. A business will host my photography for the month and opening night (tomorrow) will have free alcohol for everyone that comes... |
As the world's population approaches 7 BILLION don't you think the value/uniqueness of human life is a bit over hyped? | I for one think that the value of human life = the value of a spider's life... I just smashed one for violating my personal space... Don't invade MY home buddy... :)
