Can Reddit recommend me a good phone? | I've currently got a Sony Ericsson T280i. It's got basic features, but being a young whippersnapper who camps on old men's lawns, I want a phone that has *everything*. A smartphone, in other words.
Everybody who recommends a decent smartphone will get karma. |
What is your best data loss/recovery story? Stuff so good I'll backup every time I think of it. | Not amazing but kind of funny: I once left my email logged in on my Grandmas computer. In her innocence she got on the computer and realized she didn't recognize any of these emails in her inbox. She then proceeded to delete every message in my entire gmail account and then empty the trash.
Thankfully I had a copy of... |
Hello Reddit, What did you do on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday? | I got the idea from this thread.
**Friday**: I drove an hour to my cousin's place , drank too much when I got there and passed out at midnight.
**Saturday**: Woke up a at 10am and proceeded to drive to Burger Baron (only burger place in this small town). They were closed so I had to drive back at 11 (nothing else was... |
My philosophy professor is an ex-atheist. | Today I was the only atheist in an undergrad philosophy class of about 40 Christian students (at a private Christian college). The professor described himself as an ex-atheist and a rationalist. Guess what evidence changed his mind? Direct religious experience. |
WTF is going on with the Dalai Lama? | **EDIT:** Holy fucking shit, please read the whole post before jumping to conclusions. I am not saying that Mao's revolution was good. **I was saying that the Dalai Lama is just a former feudal master from a theocratic state trying to regain power.**

[0] Fuck college dorms, man. | So, yesterday, I woke up to find that my external hard drive with many important (non-backed-up) files on it decided to just stop powering up. Strike 1 for Sunday.
Then, what do I decide to do after this (and after my roommate had left)? Smoke a nice bowl, of course. So I put a towel at the bottom of the bathroom d... |
Please support the Arbitration Fairness Act, so we will never again be forced to litigate to the Supreme Court whether a rape victim can sue. | "Let's end mandatory binding arbitration.

Good but cheap cast iron skillet? | My aluminium & teflon pans suck, but I can't afford Creuset or anything. Wal-Mart has a line of cheap cast iron from the Lodge, is it any good?
Otherwise, what are reasonably priced options for a cast iron frying pan?

Goin Philosophical here, whats the biggest fact of life that you learned/realized that changed the way you think? | Mine was Mind over Matter. Learned this doing wallsits.

What strength exercises would you do if you had only 30 minutes per day and a set of dumbbells? | I can spare about an hour a day to work out. I take up 30 minutes of this with cardio (either running, treadmill, or mountain bike, depending on the weather). I have a set of adjustable dumbbells. What strength exercises should I be doing with my remaining 30 minutes? |
Reddit, I've got a business idea that is unexploited where I live. Is it possible to get funding via reddit or is that the stuff of pipe dreams? | I would like to start a proprietary trading firm in Calgary, Canada. This model, which I've seen run quite successfully in NY, is untapped over here. Your thoughts on how to go about this reddit?? |
When does House of Leaves get good? | I understand the layering narrators.
I understand the characters' social anxiety triangles off one another (husband-wife-friends).
I understand the academic farce aspect of it.

Why do progressives claim the mantle of helping the poor when their policies mainly hurt the poor? | Enforcing minimum wage laws creates an incentive for employers to not hire the least skilled/poorest members of society.
Increasing taxes on businesses simply raises product/service prices which hit hardest on the poor.
Obama has nothing but flattering words for the central bank under the helm of Ben Bernanke. Since ... |
Why does it say about our society that sports can be found on a dozen channels and formal debate on none? | You can turn on a TV anywhere and find multiple versions of groups of people playing with some sort of a ball. Billions of dollars and lots of passion, with no meaningful accomplishment resulting.
But I have never seen a meaningful, academic discussion of any major issues on display. No politically critical topics bei... |
My girlfriend is cheating me? | We are together for 3 years, we live in one apartament. I had a bad feeling so I've checked her IM. Well..

Creation Science Challenge Monday - Can you beat the theists at their own game? | The goal is to come up with a scientific or naturalistic explanation of a supernatural origin of any observable phenomenon.

Which is it, is the US Govt printing money, or is it borrowing from China? | Just as it sounds. I keep hearing that the government is printing all this money, but I also hear that it's borrowing a bunch from China. Is it that the "printing" is just an informal description of what will inevitably happen, rather than what's going on just yet? Or is it that both are going on? Peter Schiff talks ab... |
What's up with Canadian music? Does anyone know anything about it? | Supposedly there's a rule that Canadian radio stations have to play 35% Canadian artists, which I may be able to corroborate since I hear Sum 41 a lot when I'm in Canada and never anywhere else, but I don't notice much of a difference between Canadian and American stations.

Chemistry vs Physical Type vs Social Type...what matters more? | 24 yr old female here.
I'm seeing a guy I adore. We work so well together it's unbelievable. We are great in bed together, we are great at communicating with each other, we're really good together in general.
But there's a concern I have that ultimately lies in how shallow I am. I don't think I'm overly shallow b... |
What is your take on automobile insurance? | My brother and I got in an argument last night over dinner about automobile insurance; he thinks it should be voluntary and practices this belief by not insuring his vehicles at all.
His explanation is that insurance is an excessive mandatory expense designed to keep the "little guy" down. He think that insurance c... |
What is the best IDE for open source projects? | I have had a rough and tumble relationship with IDE's. I started with textpad, them made my way to emacs, then used Eclipse for various java projects, and now I use XCode for everything except Java.
What I'm not satisfied with XCode is that it's tied to OS X. I have a hard time developing open source projects that ar... |
New Creationist Argument Against Evolution | So, my friend who is a Creationist posts on FB that no way the Earth can be billions of years old, because the ground could never hold billions of years worth of remains of all the creatures that have lived here. WTF?

When does the Reddit Honeymoon end? | I have only been reddit-ing for a few weeks (not sure how I got along before) but I am obsessed to a crippling degree. It hasn't really messed up my job or personal life (yet) but I find myself browsing through a ton a posts and I can't seem to get tired of it. Does this feeling last or does it fizzle out eventually?

I teach guys how to pick up girls. AMA | Yes, this was inspired by another AMA about a PUA.
I have never read The Game and not part of any pick-up lair. While some of my theories/advice are inspired from other PUAs, they're mostly "self-discovered." I noticed there is a lot of hate towards the art on Reddit. Thought I could use this AMA to clear up some misc... |
Vocals and Compressor Help | So I've been using a compressor (software) post-recording to try and tame some of the louder dynamic passages in singing. Sometimes when the emotion hits, parts get louder.
Using the compressor though, doesn't seem to tame the louder parts at all, but makes them seem more "in my face" and unpleasing, where-as the unc... |
Where is ID's "Tree of Life"? | It occurred to me that the most glaring (lack of) evidence for Intelligent Design Theory is a relational map of life. Stephen Meyer, for example, often talks of different "body plans" that could not have naturally evolved and thus have no common ancestors. For want of a better term, ID theory implies a "corn field" mod... |

The r/trees subreddit description reads "All U.S presidents have smoked." Can we get a source on that? I find that extremely hard to believe. | I hope that doesn't sound too pig-headed. I just don't want new visitors to r/trees to think we make things up.
[EDIT: It has been slightly changed to better illustrate the point. Thanks mods! This is why r/trees is my home on reddit!] |

Recently my employer notified us that as part of a massive effort to save money they will be implementing some changes... | the first change they mentioned? We will be paying for our parking. The fees will increase annually.
The place I'm employed by is *huge*. Parking is such a minor expense compared to some of the other things they aren't (but should be) cutting back on. My question to the Reddit Community is this: What silly or ridicul... |

How do I walk up to a stranger that I think is cute and start a conversation? I need your help. | Ok, personally I am a guy that is interested mainly in guys so I was going to post this into /r/LGBT.

Hey Rubit, besides Heroku, what's the best (free) place to host my sinatra app? | I feel heroku is too complicated for what I want to accomplish. To be honest, I even found their tutorial to be quite confusing. I just want to upload a ruby script and be able to run it :P Thanks |
I am an indie game developer, too (AS3, mostly). AMA | I felt like I needed to counter the XNA post. Personally, I don't like calling myself an indie game developer. Technically, I'm indie, sure, but people have been using it as a genre lately and it's not good. Oh well. Ask me stuff. |
Does anybody here have a Nexus One without a data plan? | I'd really like to get a Nexus One, but I can't afford the monthly data plan bills. I'm with T-Mobile and have a talking only plan (no texting, no data), if I bought the unlocked phone from Google directly could I keep my current plan (just change out the SIM card)? Much of the time I'm in range of Wi-Fi, so I'd stil... |

Save us from ourselves Reddit! Bring on the innocence! |
Does anyone else have a problem with sleep? | I have had this problem for about as long as I can remember. Ever since around puberty especially, I started sleeping in as late as I could get away with. I would stay up later and sleep later, progressing through 25-26hour cycles until a reset is forced by an outside force. Today as a 24 year old adult, I have no one ... |
What are you looking forward to being re-released from your childhood? | Many, Many years ago, when I was a youngster in Primary School, there were kids with these I always wanted one, and by the time I had the requisite wherewithal to purchase one, suddenly they were nowhere to be found.
Has this happened to you?
Consequently, I have no issue in modern companies re-releasing shit from my... |
I wont be watching the Superbowl | It no longer seems to be about the game, its about the money, ads and copyrights and I can not bitch about corporate thieves, over reaching copyright legalities and the lack of media conglomerates duty as a sense of being a public trust and sponser them with my patronage. |
when should a guy tell an acquaintance/friend that he is dating/sleeping with his ex? | I'm seeing this girl who I think is amazing, but she broke up with her ex, a guy I'm pretty cool with, a little over a month ago.

Could someone clarify the whole "Google Voice" situation for me? | From what I understand after searching around a bit, Google Voice can be used instead of your normal cell phone number to make/receive calls as well as text and check voicemail. It seems like the big deal is that it allows for VoIP-like calling on phones, using data instead of minutes. I've also read about using it for... |

There are internet communities for this sort of thing, alongside ma... |
So, who here shudders at the thought that weed may one day be processed and packaged, like cigarettes? [6] | Sorry. I support legalization of course, but it makes me sad to think that our product which is so pure (which of course isn't true in all cases) will one day be process, possibly with disgusting additives. I like the idea of walking down to a head shop and buying a pack of budirettes, but it just saddens me a bit. |

IAmA Juggler. I'm out of practice, but I used to be quite good, and respected in the community... | ... Yes. Community. There's a "scene" of technical jugglers, largely on college campuses. They tend to reject the clown stereotype, and the notion of performance. It's more about pushing the limit of what tricks can be done.
And I was a member of that community. I used to know basically every street performer in a maj... |

It's easy enough to find a refurbished gun or one in crappy condition, but quality originals are very hard to come by.

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd version of NORAD's failure to intercept the hijacked flights are all bullshit. But the first one is especially bad.... | According to the first account, the military never even scrambled jets to respond to the hijackings, (with the exception of flight 93 which was being tailed by an F-16 before it crashed) That this version indicated a stand-down order/ shoot down of flight 93 is why NORAD had to dramatically change its story.

ask Reddit math: I'm a peruvian math undergrad, but want to finish my studies elsewhere (on a budget). Suggestions? | Hi reddit, as the title says, I'm a 18yo math undergrad studying at PUCP.

In a recent thread, someone mentioned a ridiculous fact about the size of our sun compared to the entire Milky Way... it was actually wrong. | In fact, if the Milky Way were reduced to the size of the continental United States, our sun would be 7 micrometers in radius, The size of a *white blood cell*, not a period as the original poster said. Our whole solar system (radius of Pluto's orbit, yes I know it's not a planet) would be 6 cm, just slightly smaller t... |
Question: it's a proven fact that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It's a proven fact that we are pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in massive, measurable quantities. Where's the argument that says it's not our fault? | This is a serious question, because I've never seen it addressed in any real fashion by climate change deniers, yet the new popular claim is that, yeah, climate change is happening, but it has nothing to do with us.
As far as I can see, the only argument for climate change being "natural" is the argument that, as cr... |

back in the early 90's I worked for Telecom.
A few times I went to the plane maintenance buildings at Tullamarine airport to work on some telco faults for the airlines. These buildings were HUGE open spaces with many planes (think everything up to 747s) inside the one building that were bein... |
Is my website up or down? A little help please. | So my website has been down for about 36 hours, on my end at least. I talked to someone at my hosting company WebHostingPad and they added my IP address to their allow list, so it's not being blacklisted. They insist that my website is up and working on their end. I was told to contact my ISP to make sure my website wa... |

Rockband 2 "downloading in background" doesn't work? | Hi all,
Just got a PS3 and Rockband 2. When I buy songs and want to get more than 1 at a time, I try to use "downloading in background." But these downloads always freeze and I end up having to go to the PS store to redownload.
Any ideas?
Looking forward to enjoying this community! |

Thankyou. |
