ask reddit: Are you faster with Emacs shortcuts moving the cursor than scrolling and pointing with a mouse? | I enjoy using emacs for a few months now. I use it basically to write my blog posts and do a bit of code (majority in python, HTML/CSS and Javascript) but the more I use it the more I say to myself I won't be as fast using only my keyboard as if I'd use it with my mouse too.

The real costs (energy and money-wise) of recycling? | I've always been interested in what the costs of recycling are. It's always seemed to me that it would take more money and energy to recycle paper and plastic, than it would to produce them.

I had been doing my boils in smaller kettles so when the wort was ... |

Spanish "Patatas Bravas" - Nice spicey chunk potatoes. | Yesterday I finally pinned down my patatas bravas. I thought I could share.

Any good "Diablo clone" games available for PS3 (or on the horizon? | I haven't played a "hack and slash" game like that in a while.

Large capacity flash drive (16-32GB) | That is all. The alien is cute, and I have a couple, but it would be nice if it were actually useful. |
I was just wondering what your thoughts are on Herschel Walker's exercise routine. | This guy is 47 years-old, retired from the NFL 13 years ago and has decided to be an MMA fighter.
He says he's never lifted any weights and his exercise routine is simply to do 2,500 sit ups and 1,500 push ups everyday. Apparently, he's done that since high school. |
TIL that all 493 Pokémon are unavailable as login names on Gmail/Google | I think this is pretty funny. Not counting the ones less than six characters, the other 454 Pokémon are taken. Well, that's a bit misleading because I've only tested ~380 so far (random order). I'm betting a single person must have mass-registered most of them.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone on reddit owns one (y... |
DAE have that funny feeling in fingers when someone else showing you how to do your job? | Every time someone shows what and how to do (especially when I never done that) I have funny feeling in hand fingers. |
What's the worst financial or investment move you've made? | I'll start off: I bought several stocks, one of which was a pink slip company. It went up to over 5x the price I bought it at and instead of selling I held on to it hoping it would go higher. It went back down to the original price, I bought more. Now it is less than 1/5 of the price I bought it at. |
Dear Reddit: Why all the downvotes? | Edit: I don't know why I'm getting downvoted; I'm making so much sense. |
Marijuana Super Store - "The Grow Squad" (think Geek Squad) CNN video report | Pretty sweet haha. This emerging industry is interesting, too bad its not legal cause it would grow a lot more ...anyways here is the video |
Looking for Python, Java, C# developers in Boston area to work with on small projects | I've been working with all sorts of far away people in delivering software products and business application development over the past year and I would love to know some local Python/Java/C# hackers that I can call to help on projects. Craigslist is a huge fail - 90% of the responses are offshore guys that I don't get... |
Have a television show I want to pitch, how do I go about this? | I have, at least in my opinion, a great show the History Channel would like. I have no idea how to pitch a show, any suggestions? |
I am having trouble patching WoW, any ideas? | Hi all, I played WoW up until the most recent expansion when I canceled my acct. and quit for a while. When I saw that Reddit had a guild I immediately decided to give it a try again. When I go to download the game it gets through 85% of the newest patch and gives me this error:
The patch "base\world\maps\Kalimdor\Kal... |
Mobile version of IETester? | Anyone know if there is any kind of IETester for mobile devices? How are you all testing your sites/apps on various mobile devices? |
Dear reddit.wow, what is the fairest looting/DKP system of them all? | For a serious (though not necessarily "hardcore") raiding guild, what's the fairest system for distributing those epics?
I'm currently thinking fixed price DKP of some sort, but don't have much experience with these things so would like any thoughts/input :)
Thanks!
(Awaits requests for clarification of "fair"... ;) |
