Hello r/Entomology! With this community being used often for insect/arachnid/arthropod identification, I wanted to throw in some guidelines for pictures that will facilitate identification. These aren't rules, so if you don't adhere to these guidelines, you won't be banned or anything like that...it will just make it tougher for other Redditors to give you a correct ID. A lot of you already provide a lot of information with your posts (which is great!), but if you're one of the others that isn't sure what information is important, here you go.
**INFORMATION TO INCLUDE WITH YOUR PHOTO**
* Habitat: Such as forest, yard, etc.
* Time of day: Morning, day, evening, or night will suffice.
* Geographical Area: State or county is fine. Or, if you're not comfortable with being that specific, you can be general, such as Eastern US.
* Behavior: What was the bug doing when you found it?
**Note about how to take your photo:**
Macro mode is your friend. On most cameras, it's represented by a [flower icon](http://i.imgur.com/wx7qc.jpg). Turn that on before taking a photo of a bug close up, and you're going to get a drastically better picture. With larger insects it's not as big of a deal, but with the small insects it's a must.
If you follow these guidelines, you'll make it easier for everyone else to help you identify whatever is in your photo. If you feel like I've left anything important out of this post, let me know in the comments. | r/entomology | post | r/Entomology | 2011-08-13 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3QVNjQktMRm1iLWkzR2N6aDRwNXNzcUNlX1VTVERtR1FiX1J4eU4tV3lzX1F2YWY1a3dfLTBnbEljTno3d25fRmtJekRBRGRTd0gtNEZmVXNrSTQxQkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOY3hiUWRBNXBsVDhfVHJFMVkxcVkxcEFXZHNlNFR4SEZoLVpHT202SklXVVdKRzA4c1dnREx0X2dYUjFYcjU4VkxXU1E2TU1KVkZvVU9WS3BBSVRJNk0zdHdoTDd3UGkwV3NpWVhJb3A1dHFuaVlhVzd4Q0gyRmxnZVZ2VVQ5VEM3UkVhNDR3OU51cWd0Nkh1d1pVZnFqaFVWeVVWQnctRnhZQWt0ZW9RZS04WDZ5OFlJTjVEdFJiSFJqaWJHSXM2 |
I'm at the point in the semester where every single reading assignment seems to be a punch in the gut. It's not because of the time constraints, it's that opening my casebook seems to be pure torture at this point. There are some moments where I am enjoying class/reading but most of the time I'm absolutely hating every moment spent learning about the law. I know I'm strange too because I'm actually enjoying doing legal research, I just am so disgusted with reading and briefing cases at this point. Is this normal for a first year student to feel this way about the course materials? | r/lawschool | post | r/LawSchool | 2012-11-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3eWNoNnVpZ0ZRdkpYZGdtXzJlUjdHd29jSXQyLVJhTnJvcTRlX0Y4b01TaTNEbzg4aGFRelM3VUVhc3VFeDR6NzB4Rm5WUFdvVG16Snh5aG93Z2o1a2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOeG5yYVdsZUZmeGh1THNwWkRudmtGSHRQRVN6aVRBRGlLMTNmal95ZUR0cVhJMUdGNENKUS1zTTNtRU1mSUpVYWNTd2tTalFpeUtKMV9YV09jV3R2bFE5RS1JaW5IcXN5VTV4czgycXg1UFI0MVdNNmlwZ1VtblRCVXQ3bDRpb1V4bERzV3FtaHpFVDhlTExOMkl6dW9jT0Zjcnp2UE1TcUNNUU5hOVRDc3dWbVNZSkhoWDQyUHBaVjU5WHBsQWItamI5Q0xEc2hqRzRjVmJBR0QxRUJ0dz09 |

There is an incredible mix of collectors in this subreddit, from those really experienced with massive collections, to folks just starting out, to folks dusting off their cards for the first time since 1989, and plenty of folks who inherited cards trying to figure out what to do with them. This sub was set up to invite commentary and interaction at all levels of experience, create a place where experienced collectors can compare notes, and new folks can get acquainted or reacquainted with the hobby. This mission won't work for everybody, and there are other subs out there when that's the case. That said, most experienced collectors and sellers seem ready to help out those seeking information.
----
**What is this card worth?**
As the sub gets bigger, the capacity to answer certain questions changes a little too. While it's fine to post a question if you really can't figure out what a card or collection is worth after doing your own research, please first review the following guidelines:
- Did you take a look at ebay 'sold' listings to get an idea of what the card(s) might be worth first? Go to ebay.com, search for as much information as you can (look at the year at the bottom of the back of the card as well as the card manufacturer). Scroll down the filtering options, and under 'Show Only', select 'Sold listings'. This will give you an admittedly imperfect, but reasonable price range for your card. Please be realistic in comparing your cards to the cards listed, and do not assume your card is worth what a 'PSA 10' card is worth, as an example (a card isn't a high grade until a grader says it is, and most even when they look perfect to the naked eye, aren't a '10').
- If that didn't work and you couldn't find example sold prices for your card(s), please ensure you post a picture of the card you're asking about in your post. Reddit allows for picture upload, if that doesn't work, imgur will allow you to upload a picture you can then link to here. Condition has a lot to do with value, so posts without a picture aren't useful to anyone looking at it (and it's kind of annoying to continually ask people to "post a picture").
Here, for reference, is a decent article on cards from the "junk era" (late eighties to the early early nineties) and their value: http://www.cardboardconnection.com/why-sports-cards-early-90s-worthless
----
**On Trading and Selling:**
It's both ok and encouraged to post a card for trade (indicate the expected value you wish to receive in return and what you're looking for) or sale (cards must include a selling price). Start the post with FT or FS or FT/FS and a value or values, and include a picture or link to a picture. You don't have to list "or best offer", it's implied because you're going to receive offers regardless, and don't go fishing (put an exorbitant price on something and then ask for offers).
There are no situations where 'make me an offer' without a price is appropriate in sale posts, if you take the time to post a card for sale here, please also take the time to research its potential value and list a starting price for the card(s). Listing multiple cards as a lot for a single price is fine.
Here are some listing examples:
"FT/FS $200/$150 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle, looking for Trout autos" <- indicates you want $200 in trade value, or $150 cash for a '56 Mantle.
"FT $150 2010 Bowman Platinum Mike Trout Auto RC, looking for Bryce Harper autos" <- indicates you want $150 in trade value for your 2010 Trout.
It's not ok to post a link to an outside auction or web site expressly for the purpose of highlighting a card for sale there (posting a link to a blog post or article, where cards are for sale elsewhere on that site is fine). Post it here to the collectors here, and create a separate post somewhere else. It's definitely not ok to link to an ebay auction, unless it's part of a point you're making or you're pointing to something unusual or newsworthy (e.g. "Hey, a '52 Mantle just sold for half a million on ebay!"). Please add flair to the post, including 'Sale' or 'Trade'. Adding flair for 'Sold' when a card is no longer available is also helpful.
The sub will not be responsible for deals that go bad, and there are problematic sellers, buyers, and trade partners out there (see: https://www.sportscardscams.com/scammers-database/). The sub **strongly suggests settling payment using the "Paying for an item or service" option in Paypal**, which offers some level of buyer protection. If a user can submit proof of wrongdoing to modmail, habitual bad traders or people who don't pay after striking a deal will be banned, and you're encouraged to send an email to modmail and create a post in r/SportsCardTracker when that happens. Do not publish a call out post.
Here for reference are some common scams beyond simply not paying or sending cards that are common in the sports card industry: https://www.cardboardconnection.com/collecting-101/top-10-sports-collectibles-crimes-to-avoid
For every trade or sale, you're encouraged to create an entry in r/SportsCardTracker noting that seller's or trade partner's user name so others can look that up via search, and benefit from your positive, or negative, experience, before buying or trading.
----
**Should I get this graded?**
In general, it won't make sense grading a card if it won't add value to the sale price of the card that exceeds the grading fee. That said, there are collectors who collect cards in a certain minimum grade, so the motivations around grading vary, and ultimately only you can answer this question.
Most folks are not going to be able to tell you what a card will grade based on a picture viewed online, only, more commonly, when it's not worth paying the grading fee. In general, cards that receive a high grade such as a'9' or '10' will sell at a premium, and certain high value cards benefit from being graded in most conditions as it ensures the card's authenticity (for example, a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle or a 2011 Topps Update Mike Trout). The major graders at the time of writing are PSA, SGC, and Beckett, and each has information available on their respective web sites about their process, so please review that first before asking a question here.
The following is a decent guide on what graders look for: https://www.cardboardconnection.com/pre-grade-sports-cards-results
----
**When there is a problem**
If you see violations of the rules, please report them. Enjoy discussing the hobby, selling, and trading. Message modmail with issues. Don't create call out posts, don't start drama, and don't create posts to complain about other users or moderation or that invite others to do the same. If your post or comment is moderated, check the sub's rules as to why, sending a rude message to modmail in response is a poor strategy.

Hi /r/chemistry!
This is a quick question I'd appreciate a quick answer to if possible!
So yesterday I put on a DiBAl reduction of an alkyne to get the (Z)-alkene (it's a terminally TMS-substituted butyn-1-ol). Now I know the reaction works (I've done it before as have many Ph. D students from my research group) - typically it's left overnight (12-16h) before working the reaction up.
Workup-wise - typically I'd used an acid quench and consequent filtration through Celite to remove the Al salts, wash with ethyl acetate etc. however I've recently started using tartrate (Rochelle's salt) solution as this is far easier (despite longer!). Problem being is that we're waiting on more Na-K-tartrate to arrive, and our limited supply of solution left over isn't a saturated solution. It worked previously (kinda) - after about 3 hours there were 2 layers visible but hadn't gone completely clear as I was told it would.
Now the reaction I put on yesterday - it's still running on reflux (since 22 hours ago). I'm apprehensive about going in to the labs (it's a 70 mile round trip for me) just to add some unsaturated tartrate solution (which will need stirring overnight at least) when I could wait and make up the saturated solution tomorrow (if the solid salt arrives today/tomorrow morning!).
This leads to my main question/concern - can I leave the reaction under reflux for an extra night? Anyone have any experience of doing DiBAl reductions over the space of 2+ days? Don't want to reduce the alkene all the way to the alkane just by overcooking the reaction. Which is the lesser of two evils - workup without a saturated solution or leaving the reaction refluxing a day longer than it needs? | r/chemistry | post | r/chemistry | 2016-02-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3REdKajJEekRVdmJ6bEZZbEVnR3AxZEZnZklRelF1dlBINVNiSmIxR0xZNUFMeVR3b25SYzNEWjBpdVNvRDBzd2oyR3poWTI5WWxqLWFVd0JyNXFkU1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOTzI2blU5UmVWQlVqUzktWmVVZ1ZtRlJ3SGJFRlB6dFI5eXFJYmZWbE9CR2M5Tlp6ZUlHRnJEY0M3dF9jOFFUekUyTXBzZFZRenlOVnNaNDJDclpYOHlrbkxseko3b09aMGQzVmJBNlY0NXRSR0c5RkNtZXhjcTk5ZzZwOGdTazkwQUlHTkNNMU10MWJDYXZ3SFp4cmVISjRlNXNGVTZqTFRzZXVJajlWSmdTaWJjazNISWRxQ2lkMVdzbWJhazVB |
I received a book from my realtor claiming to have written a book. It didn't sound anything like his real life personality, so I looked it up online and the exact same book comes up with dozens of different authors. The descriptions all say the same thing down to the author being a "committed philanthropist." Is "The Value-Driven Approach To Sell Real Estate" book a scam? Did this person write anything he has claimed to have written or is it a dishonest marketing gimmick? | r/nostupidquestions | post | r/NoStupidQuestions | 2016-05-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3UkM1Q2R0SlVHVXlOUlBMRjZkNGMwb0pydU81MFBqMkZMektzNXp6ZVhzWV9keFl2Z1RqVlBBSEs5MGRieTBDdFp1N2lEd0NtRGFvQmhDVjE5dFkxQ0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlORW9PaWc2WFZ5MkwyMDJDWTF3Rnc5bFRJMmZ6bFJUMEY4MzB0VDhaUVpEdW5DYTRhLU1pM0NROXJDcGF4RFJUcFdudjlVWFkyTmJuU3FIMHN2dG1fRHN6c1ZvaExmcG1FXzRCRVhJZHNQRkhNaUJKbnlTRkVnQzA4UF9PRkY2N2ViMEhiQU5CUTgyVHZWSnBkME13S1JYUXBuWkxpcnJfczdBYjJUOV9Tdk1sSXltajBoZ3JqQ3ZuZktTN3BTcVZRMUVVR3lSMU5MQUYyd0ZDSXRHbzdNQT09 |
My whole life feels completely absorbed by law school, but no matter how hard I work I'm still not doing everything I need to be doing. So either I feel guilty for not doing enough and taking time for myself or completely exhausted for not doing anything besides law school.

So you've decided to give fishing a go. Good Luck. More than likely you've perused the internet for the countless how to catch fish videos, or how to do this and that tutorials. I've watched thousands of them. They're mostly made and produced by avid or hardcore fishermen who know the ins and outs of everything it takes to catch fish. However these videos fail to demonstrate or talk about many of the frustrations of what its like to be a beginner fisherman. So looking back on my 22 years of fishing I've put together a piece tailored to removing some of the frustrations of learning to fish. Id like to preface this by stating I fish lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams, in the northeastern US, mostly for Largemouth Bass, small mouth Bass, Musky, pike pickerel and trout. My advice will be tailored towards this style.
First off let's start with your setup. Every video I watch talks about the line they're using paired with the length and sturdiness of the rod, which reel is best and whats good for what bait/style/fish. Don't worry about that. I've caught the majority of my fish using a rod/reel i bought as a backup at Kmart for 50 dollars. Don't break your bank. Get yourself a cheap rod, and some 8-12 pound MONO-FILAMENT line. Why mono-filament? Because its the easiest to work with. IF your starting out, braided line can be frustrating, Fluorocarbon can be extremely difficult to completely spool your reel on. We'll touch more on this later. So now you need some lures. Ever walk into a bass pro shops or cabellas? The choices/styles/methods are seemingly endless. The following are my recommended lures for beginners. They are simple to fish correctly and their simplicity leads to most fish targeting them.
-**IN line spinners**: Mepps, Rooster Tail, Blue fox etc etc. Its a simple cast and retrieve. Let it sink for a second, give it a tug to get it spinning and just bring it back to you. They all have treble hooks (3 hooks) so when a fish hits it it will practically hook themselves. These lures mimic fleeing bait fish. [Blue Fox Spinner](
https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2F564x%2F89%2F12%2F93%2F89129383f7d4ab4025b4d3fd0c65ff4a.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F259801472226074597%2F&docid=nBtaAdeyg2-TxM&tbnid=ppqtBXolFFJk6M%3A&vet=10ahUKEwjnjZ-_h7bTAhXF5iYKHXKhCf8QMwhoKA0wDQ..i&w=265&h=265&safe=off&bih=925&biw=1920&q=blue%20fox%20inline%20spinner&ved=0ahUKEwjnjZ-_h7bTAhXF5iYKHXKhCf8QMwhoKA0wDQ&iact=mrc&uact=8)
-**Spoons:** Same concept. instead of spinning these will flutter and dart like a wounded baitfish. Cast Retrieve. [Spoons](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fae01.alicdn.com%2Fkf%2FHTB1SM7iKpXXXXXSXVXXq6xXFXXXP%2F-font-b-Best-b-font-lures-200pcs-font-b-Fishing-b-font-font-b-Spoon.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aliexpress.com%2Fprice%2Fbest-fishing-spoons_price.html&docid=SH-zFBrCjytvgM&tbnid=4_1C3JyWkiOulM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwiGx8Lgh7bTAhWENSYKHT9lA_gQMwhUKAUwBQ..i&w=810&h=535&safe=off&bih=925&biw=1920&q=fishing%20spoons&ved=0ahUKEwiGx8Lgh7bTAhWENSYKHT9lA_gQMwhUKAUwBQ&iact=mrc&uact=8)
**-CrankBaits:** Pick up a crank bait or two. They come in all forms. For starters id prefer the floating ones that upon retrieval will swim to a specific depth. The box will have all the information you need as to what the crankbait will do. Again a simple cast and retrieve bait. Vary your retrieval speed, give the rod a little flick every now and then to make the bait dart a bit.[Crankbait](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmonsterfishandgame.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F01%2Fcrankbait.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmonsterfishandgame.com%2Fhow-to-fish-a-square-bill-crankbait-bassfishing%2F&docid=-rfcen_XElBKSM&tbnid=C4kZ-c7VA5DeNM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwjgwNPwiLbTAhVI7iYKHXjHA_oQMwhEKAEwAQ..i&w=580&h=268&safe=off&bih=925&biw=1920&q=crank%20bait&ved=0ahUKEwjgwNPwiLbTAhVI7iYKHXjHA_oQMwhEKAEwAQ&iact=mrc&uact=8)
Get good at casting. Being able to drop the lure where you want it. Vary your retrieval speed. Start Catching fish. When you get this down, then you can start getting into swimbaits, Texas rigging soft plastics, drop shots, Carolina rigs, bottom fishing football jigs etc. Lets crawl before we sprint or you'll lose confidence and interest.
Ok, so you've got a rod, some lures, and some line. Look up a video on how to properly put your line onto your reel. This is important. You want your line on their tied to the reel and as tight as possible. Performing this process well can save you a lot of pain down the road when your trying to fish. So lets go fishing...
If anyone actually reads this and wants help deciding where or when to fish id be happy to oblige. But including that in this post would make it an encyclopedia. Feel free to pm or ask further.
So you got stuck. Either in a tree, on your shirt, or on something underwater. Seems the pros never get stuck. I've caught more branches rocks and trees then I have fish, and getting good at getting unstuck will save you lures, money, time and frustration. Cast over a tree branch? Calm and slow. Reel your lure until its just below whatever your stuck on, and give it a quick pop so it jumps up and over. If you try to muscle it out it's going to wrap itself around everything. Stuck on something in the water? Tricky. There's several things you can try. Change the angle of where your standing if you can't tug the rod and get it off. (move 20 yards left or right and try from there). Grab the line ABOVE where it leaves your pole and give it a strong pull.Grabbing the line from where it leaves your rod will allow you to muscle it out and avoids putting strain on your reels drag or breaking your rod. Hurting your hands? Wrap the line around a stick and pull the stick(Works great for braided line which wont break and will slice through your fingers) Also pulling your tight line to the left or right with your reeling hand and then releasing it quickly can sometimes snap your lure off of whatever its stuck on. If you CANNOT get it unstuck try to pull as hard as you can to snap the line off the lure. The lure was already lost and now there's not 40 yards of fishing line polluting the water. I HATE that.
Now your'e not catching any fish. Welcome to it. Keep fishing. Fan your casts. This means don't cast your lure to the same spot and do the same thing every time. You'd be amazed how many fish sit against a bank or are huddles around a submerged stump. Cover as much water as possible and remember that the water may be deep. There may be a bunch of fish in front of you but if they're sitting towards the bottom and your lure is passing 10 feet above them they may not chase it that far. Vary your retrieval speed, vary the depth at which you bring it back, change up your approach until something works. The fish will tell you what they want when you do something right. Change your location. 30 yards can make all the difference especially on lakes and ponds when you start taking into account water temperature, tributaries, cover/structure, visibility, wind etc. The location of the fish you want is going to be determined by the location of THEIR food source. Bait fish. Minnows, shad bluegill frogs insects bugs lizards etc. Look for things on the water and within your surroundings that would indicate a presence of these food sources. Fish coming and eating on the surface, are there birds that eat fish standing anywhere on the banks, turtles, frogs etc. Look for life. Change your lure! Change the color, change the style of lure, change it up until you start receiving bites. Don't spend 2 hours casting to the same spot with same lure. IF you're still not confident or proficient in tying a lure to your line, pick up some snap swivels/dual locks. You tie this to your line once and it allows for a very quick change of your lure. its like a mini carabiner. These may hinder your catch rate slightly due to their visibility but id still recommend it to new fishermen.
Remember as your fishing to keep an eye on your rod setup. If you have line looping out of your real, if its wrapped around the tip of your rod, if anything is different then when you initially set it up correctly , take time to stop and fix it. Small problems lead to big problems. It only takes one cast where you didn't notice an issue and now you've gotta spend 20 minutes untangling your birds nest of a fishing line. DO a quick visual check before every cast.
Use the times of not catching fish to get better at the basics. You need to be able to cast accurately sideways forehand and backhand, over hand, underhand. So many perfect casts to that perfect spot will be dependent on your ability to throw the lure accurately without getting mangled up in brush and branches.
Holy shit you caught a fish! What now? Needle nose pliers can be a lifesaver. Especially when they include that little scissor spot you can use to cut your line when tying knots. The fish's mouth is mostly cartilage. Work the hooks out one at a time while holding them very firmly. They're gonna flop and jump unless you're in control. Some of these fish will have very sharp dorsal fins. Stroke them back like you would a head of hair and get a solid grip. If the fish is big enough just pinch its lips and go to work with your pliers. Set it back in the water and give it a push. OBLIGATORY PUBLIC SERVICE AND BIAS ANNOUNCEMENT: Throw the fish back. Unless your hard up on food and your fishing for food, throw it back. The joy of fishing comes a lot from actually catching fish. In the twenty or so years i've been fishing, amazing spots, stretches of river etc have been decimated by people keeping every piece of meat they brought back on their line. Days of catching 10+ fish in those spots are gone due to the fact that there's none left. Caught a trophy and want it mounted? Just take a picture and measure it. All you need. Maybe someday soon someone else can experience that same joy of catching that fish.
If anyone is interested in any more information I could talk for hours. Bottom fishing, top fishing, Locations, Line choice, Leaders, weather conditions, lunar cycles, barometric pressure, spawning seasons, more advanced lure choice and techniques, finding where the fish are, etc etc. The most important thing you can do for yourself is to get out there and get your line wet. Bring a buddy, bring a six pack, and get outside.
UPDATE! My comprehensive guide to fishing Part II is posted. I got a lot of positive feedback and might make this a weekly thing for awhile.

I highly recommend to all fisherman new or experienced, the [Fishbrain App.](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=19294&awinaffid=775943) Its a free tool allowing users insight as to who's fihsing around them, where they are fishing, what they are catching and the lures and methods used to do so.

I am a journalist interested in speaking with scientists/docs who are "special volunteers" at NIH and with PIs who make use of them. This is for a story I'm working on for Undark (undark.org, an online science-and-society magazine published out of MIT) about the value of special volunteers for the agency and for biomedical research.

This post is intended to serve as a quick guide to coin collecting for new collectors, or people who may have inherited a few coins. Here's a brief primer on what makes a coin valuable:
##**Age**
How old is it? In general, old coins tend to be worth more than coins struck more recently. The older a particular coin is, the greater the collectible and historical appeal. Older coins also tend to be scarcer, as many coins are lost or destroyed over time. For example – 5% of the original mintage of an 19th century U.S. coin might have survived to the present day, with the rest getting melted down, destroyed, or simply lost over time.
Go back a century further, to the 18th century, and the survival rate drops to <1%. Taking into account that most 18th century U.S. coins were already produced in tiny numbers, it makes sense that most of them now sell for over four figures.
All that being said, the relationship between age and value does not always hold true. For example, you can still buy many 2000 year-old Ancient Roman coins for less than $10, due to the sheer number of them produced over the 400-year history of the Western Roman Empire (and distributed across its massive territory). But as a general rule, within any given coin series, older coins will tend to be relatively more scarce and valuable.
##**Condition**
It may sound like common sense, but nicer coins bring higher prices. The greater the amount of original detail and the smaller the amount of visible wear on a coin’s surfaces, the higher the price. There are a dizzying array of words used to describe a coin’s condition, but at the most basic level, coins can be divided into two states – Uncirculated and Circulated.
Uncirculated or “Mint State” coins are coins that show no visible signs of wear or use – they have not circulated in commerce, but are in roughly the same condition as when they left the mint. Circulated coins show signs of having been used – the design details will be partially worn down from contact with hands, pockets, and other coins. The level of wear can range from light rub on the highest points of the coin’s design, to complete erosion of the entire design into a featureless blank. Uncirculated coins demand higher prices than circulated coins, and circulated coins with light wear are worth more than coins with heavy wear.
[This picture](http://imgur.com/8TVNFAC) provides a basic comparison of Circulated and Uncirculated coins. The coins on the right show full design details as well as luster, a reflective quality of the coin’s surface left over from the minting process. The coins on the left show signs of wear, as the design details are no longer fully clear and no luster remains.
##**Type**
Type is the single biggest determinant of value. How much a coin is worth depends on how big the market for that particular coin is. For example, U.S. coins are much more widely collected than any other nation’s coins, just because there are far more U.S. coin collectors than there are collectors in any other nation. The market for American coins is bigger than any other market within the field of numismatics (other large markets include British coins, ancients, and bullion coins).
This means that even if a Canadian coin has a mintage of only 10,000 coins, it is likely worth less than a typical U.S. coin with a mintage ten times greater. For another example - you may have a coin from the Vatican City with a mintage of 500, but it’s only worth something if somebody’s interested in collecting it.
Certain series of coins are also much more widely collected than others, generally due to the popularity of their design or their historical significance. For example - Jefferson Nickels have never been very popular in the coin collecting community, as many collectors consider the design uninteresting and the coins are made of copper-nickel rather than silver, but Mercury Dimes and Morgan Dollars are heavily collected. An entire date/mintmark set of Jefferson Nickels can be had for a couple of hundred dollars, whereas an entire set of Mercury Dimes would cost four figures.
##**Rarity**
Rarity is comprised of all the other factors above combined. Age, condition, and type all play a role in rarity. But the main determinant of rarity is how many coins were actually minted (produced). Coins with certain date/mintmark combinations might be much rarer than others because their mintages were so small. For example, U.S. coins with a “CC” mintmark are generally much rarer than coins from the same series with other mintmarks because the Carson City Mint produced small numbers of coins during its existence.
U.S. coins without a mintmark, from the Philadelphia mint, are generally less valuable (though there are many exceptions) as the Philadelphia mint has produced more coins throughout U.S. history than all of the other mints combined. There are often one or two “keys” or “key date” coins within each series of coins, much scarcer and more valuable than the rest of the coins within the series. Some of the most well-known key dates include the 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent (“S” mintmark = San Francisco mint), the 1916-D Mercury Dime (Denver mint), and the 1928 Peace Dollar (Philadelphia mint). | r/coincollecting | post | r/coincollecting | 2017-06-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3LThfWWJYVUdfSFZ4MVJFY25YamxrSkZOdjNLZVJReUlHVzdGV2VIbG9LT0NvZXlXaG9PVjNtNWwzSXVjNVh4RklwWDFkVEtUQU9XUnVObzVLLWNLTGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOWXB1bzl6czVhUkVVa0J4UndNUHgxZ2p0RVgzTkxuLTFLOWh0cmo3M0Y3eVdGdTdtaUUtUWJiQm9UMTdEMnRFeGRkc0xJUFRGSVhLaUl3RFpCaWlCb3NmVE02bHk2TG1IMzF1SW40bGV6Y3M0dF95UU9uZnptV01BWEF2dEFhQmE4ckFsblZVUWNZZW1VNkk1ODVBNUY4QU43QkgyWm1fLVMtZWVaTkhoelUzM3FSTS1EdlVMRDVxdHE5WGNpaDJDVS1pbVhGVmpBbl93ek93ZnVyS1JYUT09 |
I'm trying to understand certain American subcultures "hatred" of the EPA and other federal agencies whose mission is public health, safety, and environmental. Lots of Appalachians, for instance, seem to really not like the EPA and OSHA, but then at the same time many want safe working conditions and their air and water clean and safe. I was hoping someone in this sub would have a sociological perspective. | r/sociology | post | r/sociology | 2017-10-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3c0M3c2Z0TmZOYnBhLWlFaTRjMmtEaEhXU0lncEcxZ216LTVQSUdoZGVuY21kZ0RLNEU2eGtVcnJNZ1F4b252QVFFVFl3OWhmSnZoRTZ3QnFaOWk3T3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOaVlwVzN1SFdfd0txTXlFT1hNVmtJSHdVb1ZlalJvMjlLRlY1cGpiWnVrMFFSVkg5bW5EN0c1aUY5MVFWNmhnaU8wRHA1OTVwT2ptOHkwRmc5YVRRQ2docjNwVXFpSWdLVmU0dGhnMFpQd1U0bTM1N19idzU2ZUt4OU5lTlhTNmV0TGVqYzVpRmlUZFdsZ0NwYm1la0dzcWxUOHJNZUZ6QnJRZzJodElERmw0WFM5UXl2OEFyN1lrQVByNWMteDFtS3JQNXlwZzJ1OVFRR3Q1dWJ6eHIyUT09 |

The post-Thanksgiving season is upon us, which means that some of you may be trying to find some nice stew recipes for your leftover turkey, ham, etc.
I came across [this recipe](https://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/slow-cooker-ham-white-bean-and-potato-soup/aa2d5f89-4cf6-41e9-bbf5-2a8e1b9e79f5?utm_campaign=yummly&utm_medium=yummly&utm_source=yummly) for a ham and potato stew on Saturday and decided to give it a try!
I followed the instructions carefully, including the part about adding a pound of *dried* Great Northern beans. I normally make chilis with canned beans, but I really didn't think twice about the dried ones. They were to be cooked in broth and other vegetables for several hours, so no problem, right?
**WRONG.** I came down with pretty severe food poisoning that evening and it is still ongoing today (Monday.) After a bit of googling, I figured out that the culprit was indeed the Great Northern bean, which I had failed to cook all the way through (apparently.)
I'm the type of person who likes their pasta *al dente* and often prefers raw vegetables to cooked ones, so when my beans came out a little more firm than I was used to, I thought nothing of it and just chalked it up to them having been dry when I started. Little did I know, that a compound called *lectin* is present in uncooked and undercooked beans. Lectin is produced by the bean plant as a way to deter predators from eating it. Apparently, animals can smell it and know to stay away, but it is undetectable to the human nose. Luckily, lectin leaves the beans if they're cooked to completion.
I know that pre-cooking or soaking beans before preparing a meal may seem obvious to some of you. However, as a relatively young person whose mother only ever bought canned beans, the idea of soaking my beans overnight or even cooking them before making the stew at all, had never occurred to me. I just blindly followed a recipe.
**TL;DR** Undercooked beans gave me food poisoning. I never knew that undercooked beans could be harmful, wanted to pass on that knowledge to anyone else who is trying to stew some leftovers. | r/slowcooking | post | r/slowcooking | 2017-11-27 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3ZEIwd184ZDd2NVN4c2Zma1R5X0drelB3MEJmSWNyZ0IteHBRa01xSUNSa2FISXdWLUxCRjQ2cWNyMmYtTE1lQWFJakc5dWI0QTFKZDJBNDh1TUNqcmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOR3ItQUVGUGVLaWhsM2JDb0xXc0ZxUjU1R0NEc2lEU1gtSGNSaGpia1FxMlBmbHZQTC05SF9UdHo5ejNQYkgwS2ttdFhPTDJERUNRWEF5MEdlWGhNVVdFU1ZMemRGRERhNm5CRUpRWEdSNDBCVnU0TmVValg4R0YzN3l2aEVHbXdlVzc1WlpvMnhKZFA4RHpsRERWSk0wM1JmRVAxbWtRWF93ZTlTeTBJWEN4a3BCUnR1TnpOMlc0NHZ5bXB2Vi1rOERuZ2ZPcC1tdzBFSmdFQVNEXzFhQT09 |
Just a reminder, because we've had a lot of posts recently that omit this information. Where was the fish? If you found it in the wild, that's very helpful information, and outside of tropical waters, the time of year can be helpful too. If it was in an aquarium, what sort? Was it a tank of fish from a particular region? Was it fresh water or salt water?
Other useful information can be, what kind of habitat (seagrass, sand, rocky surge, ...)? If you were diving, approximate depth?
But above all, *give the location in your post title*.

Can someone help me find where to better post this? I’m looking into a company called Generational Equity. They are not accredited by the BBB but do have an A+ rating, with several negative complaints that have been resolved. The sales pitch and promises seem too good to be true, but I am having a problem convincing my business partner of that.

If I’m not allowed to post this here please take it down, but I’m not sure where to post this. I’m looking into a company called Generational Equity. They are not accredited by the BBB but do have an A+ rating, with several negative complaints that have been resolved. The sales pitch and promises seem too good to be true, but I am having a problem convincing my business partner of that. We were contacted by them and in essence, you give them in the area of $50,000 to assemble a team to sell your company with nothing guaranteed other than a strong feeling that you are going to get a lot of money for your business. Supposedly they line up 15 domestic/foreign investors to buy your company and you can pick and choose from there. It doesn’t seem legitimate at all to me, especially with the cold call and the fact that they need that kind of money up front instead of a commission. Has anyone had experience with them or know where I can find more hard information other than the BBB complaints about cold calls? I also contacted the Secretary of State. I have no doubt that it is a legitimate business, but are they actually getting legitimate results for your money? | r/investing | post | r/investing | 2018-01-26 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3d1Q1anZNTEZkNW5ldVJVYnU0ZlRoekZJNW5oWVlTUW4tQ0RCWFlhcXJSX0Q5OG94NzRYS0NZMmpZZ2laWGlDT3A3bVg2Y1lnXzlpdFREanprTHVFTUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOcnFpMnB0LUJ2X3R5OWFqbTQtWWZYZVRFQVAzYU5CNHNTWlNIRl9kanNWQ1JCTU5EWlREOUZSNkI4ZGZ3Nml2MHBrMXdpWEExbTl6VEpxc3ZZMXNhbHY4OTNVX1haWTNIcG5VWm1oTzdoQzRlX1lyLVhFYldId19IQW1VeVB6ckEtSHhZWXVRZW8wbTZHSUZzTW5zamUzSnF2eHhkNjJLS1NpWGl3SXhnWGJrPQ== |
Thursday night, i was trying to find a hotel for a trip to Sydney and Trivago had [this deal](https://imgur.com/aIzmDOy) on their website. Down from $20,601 to $910 for 3 nights, 96% off, hard to refuse, right? After checking the [hotel's website](https://www.ovolohotels.com.au/ovolowoolloomooloo/) the $6000 per night rate is in line with the top suites on offer, and the pictures, room features, and name of the room itself (Superior King) led me to believe that I was indeed hiring the top suite.
I rang the hotel the following morning to ensure this was the case, but unfortunately was told that I had merely booked a standard room, which was not in line with what Trivago had promoted. There is no King Superior room at this hotel, so I have been sold something that doesn't exist and they have insanely jacked up the price for a standard room to make it appear to be the absolute steal that I thought it was.
Friday afternoon I sent an email to Trivago's customer service section on their website, and this morning sent a message to their facebook page, but both have so far (As of Saturday night here) been ignored.
Just wanted to leave this story as a warning against using Trivago, and also might there be any other way I can get in touch with them or seek any follow up at all? Anyone have any similar experiences? Maybe other subreddits I can post this to? | r/travel | post | r/travel | 2018-03-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3ejBnMUlxTWVaMUltNVJoc3N6YUlEUXFBMWVnWGNfNktKVGpFZEdTdjBqMWxKR0JNTkdTVzVyWHktRmV1dVZXdXA4NzVxYVlIR1lLdEFuZnlZYVFnYmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOWGRGTlV3bWNmd2YtYzNmVzFweUZRQnpDUnVwdGstaHlyY0VQNGkzQnRlWUdwd0pGVlcwX1gyNnB0VmRuWkdSbnJuUzdscXBJM1ZGVk1OZTdQNGcyWjN2SzJfZ0tKVUh6elRjOWctVWNaSmRmQnpyMU5va3NlMTJKUGxwNGNiV3Jpem9OWElLcThGd2h6d3phVXpFRVZ3RUM2TC1kMzdKUHJYdm0wbTM4T180R0xXdjI4MVVGMl9raVgzT1M1QTFZ |

By request, I’ve assembled a list of legal English-language interface JAV sites. These are sites that are either run directly by studios, run by large corporations within Japan, or are known to license content rather than steal it. I am only listing sites that appear to have had translations done by humans. Those that simply use auto-translations or even worse, just have a translation bar in their header/footer are not listed.
*****This is not a complete list!*****
If you feel other sites should be added or would like to provide mini-reviews, please post below.
List is semi-randomized. Sites on top are not necessarily better than sites at the bottom.
All sites are censored unless otherwise noted.
~~https://www.R18.com – owned by DMM. By far the largest legal site for buying JAV.~~Currently effectively dead and fully offline come January 31st, 2023 (including all purchased/downloaded content).
https://www.ZENRA.net – The only foreign-owned site legally showing English subtitled JAV from over a dozen studios.
https://www.sexlikereal.com/tags/jav-vr - JAV VR. 1000+ titles from pretty much every domestic studio plus a few uncensored ones as well.
https://www.tenshigao.com - From the creators of JapanHDV, exclusive and uncensored amateur Japanese content.
https://xxx.xcity.jp - I'm surprised I forgot to include them and apologize for it. Now with Prestige off DMM (including R18), this is probably the easiest way to buy their digital content through an English interface. XCity was doing what R18 as doing long before the existed though the interface is a bit clunkier.
https://www.Erito.com - ~~Legally-licensed content from DMM-owned (naibu (内部）only I believe) studios.~~**UPDATE AUGUST 2018: Looks like DMM's deal with them is over for some reason. Content is all now uncensored JAV that I think is from various Dreamroom sites (Caribbeancom, 1Pondo, Heyzo, etc.). Most likely the same content you will see at JavHD, JapanHDV (though this one subtitles), JapanHD.XXX, etc.**
https://www.JpornAccess.com – Owned by Dreamroom, the largest uncensored JAV studio in the world. Shows various scenes from their other JAV sites. Pretty much like JAVHD, but run by the studio that actually shoots the content and has more honest (and cheaper) pricing.
https://www.Caribbeancom.com – Dreamroom’s flagship uncensored JAV site. Mostly straight-forward scenes with a few curve-balls here and there.
https://www.HeyZo.com – Hardcore uncensored JAV site by Dreamroom.
https://www.1Pondo.tv – Also a hardcore uncensored JAV site by Dreamroom.
https://www.PacoPacoMama.com – Uncensored JAV by Dreamroom focusing on milfs.
https://www.10Musume.com – Uncensored JAV by Dreamroom focusing on real amateurs.
https://www.JAVHD.com – Same content found in Dreamroom sites. Beware cross-sales on join page.
https://www.JapanHDV.com - “ “. Features some English subtitles.
https://nanairo.co – Owned by S-Cute. Has some English subtitles, but doesn’t mention this in their literature for some reason. Mainly straight-forward, but very well-shot content shot in hotels.
https://www.Jade-Net-Home.com – Owned by Jade. Pretty much like DMM, but with a focus on smaller fetish studios.
https://www.Xcream.net – Various JAV makers (mainly small, but with a few big surprises) sell content here as well.
https://www.SexJapanTV.com – Uncensored content from JADE plus older censored content from Guts.
https://www.AudazDownload.com – Features English subtitles. Many hypnotism movies.
~~https://www.CKE18.com – Foreign-owned softcore ‘giri-giri’ paysite. Shot in Japan. VERY cool concept.~~
Closed down a few years ago. Whoops!
https://www.CovertJapan.com – Also foreign-owned. Uncensored white guy has sex with Japanese girls theme. I think these are shot outside of Japan. Simple concept, only one set, but production quality is excellent.
https://www.Japanhd.xxx – Mainly same content as JAVHD, JapanHDV, and other Dreamroom sites.
https://www.Akiba-Web.com – Owned by Giga. Super Sentai meets JAV. Has English subtitles.
http://www.Zero-project.jp – Yapoo’s Market’s official online store. Extremely hard femdom.

https://www.girlsdelta.com - Uncensored softcore picture site with some movies. Highly recommend this one. Nearly all women are shaved and most have the girl-next-door look.
https://www.tokyofacefuck.com/ - Uncensored unapologetic aggressive blowjobs.
http://virtualrealjapan.com/ - Streaming-only JAV VR
https://www.afesta.tv/en_vr/ - English version of Afesta, the first JAV VR aggregate site.
https://jvrporn.com/ - Uncensored JAV VR
~~https://www.ropeflix.com/ - Mainly Cinemagic content I believe.~~Appears not to load. Sadly, I believe this type of BDSM content's fan base while vocal is too small to make a dedicated foreign site profitable.
https://www.javhub.com/ - Uncensored JAV. Same content found on other uncensored paysites like JapanHDV, JavHD, etc.
https://www.japornxxx.com/ - ~~Uncensored and exclusive content. Most actresses are milfs paired off with foreign adult film stars.~~ Effectively dead since Jan 2023. Director shooting sporadically and self-releasing on fat platforms.
https://www.PornJapan.Jp - Extremely vintage contents (most appear late 90's through mid 2000's). Only accepts BTC as of writing this...
~~https://www.sekushivideo.com - Operated by KMP's parent company. Contains KMP content along with anime (from their parent company). May expand with non-KMP studios in the future. Focused on the Central and South American markets. Edit April 6th, 2021: currently in 'maintenance mode' though due to KMP's distribution change, may be done (just like Aver).~~ With KMP moving to DMM for distribution, their somewhat out of place Central/South American-oriented site has closed down.
https://g-apart.com - Pseudo voyeur of solo women in various states of undress (from scantily clothed to totally naked) in an apartment. Features masturbation and more including some familiar faces. Goes the limit and then some with how much one can show without needing mosaic.
https://neojapanav.com - Neo Japan AV Actress Directory. The content itself looks similar to S-Cute, but this studio has two unique things going for it: a proper western style paysite and all 8K content (that according to their Twitter bio is downsized to 4K for distribution).
https://www.favemode.com - Features content from vanilla to gokkun starring some well known freelances (Yui Hatano, Maria Nagai, etc.). While run by a Japanese company, they seem to have done their homework and designed a paysite with common sense features and pricing (yes, downloads are included and there's no mention of DRM or requiring some buggy DRM player to watch them).
If anyone wants to make a cool table or anything, feel free to and I will update the original post with it.
Edit 1: fixed typo. I always mix up where that double k needs to go in 'bukkake'.

**Edit: Thank you everyone for getting involved. There's so much good info here that I think I just need to slowly work through all the suggestions and find my favourites!**
Yes, I'm a picky eater and yes I shoukd eat more veggies. Generally I just dislike them and was never forced to eat them growing up.
I know I need to eat more, and I'd like to intoduce sone 'vegetarian days' to my week.
How can I make them tasty in a cheap and simple way?
I have heard olive oil plus salt, pepper, garlic and other seasonings etc as the first choice for this?
Does this work for uncooked veg salad type meals also? I need to switch my lunches to salads soon to keep cutting fat.
Look forward to tips! | r/eatcheapandhealthy | post | r/EatCheapAndHealthy | 2018-04-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3TUotYkNIQzNsTFFNdmlvLVNXYWRtbjZiZzNxS3FRbXF4ZWU4SmktRmwzYUhJbmFUWkxaSTRXUnYyLVVHc1pKMXdiaHhyWlpKUllrSW9uTVBCdHNMTXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOVXhkQUd3SVBfVXJ2WFh0c1otcDM1dFJkbjh4cjNJQkt3TndydGJjeUkzb3U1SVJqVjJQdEVnOC01TTI4TVV3ZFJqTkMwM3BJWWlYdE1sajlxalNTM1BzdTJkNWlRU0dIdG5sWGVHMklFdHRUaWxkc1g4cnYyUWJFSzJhdkROVjB3VUJ0MS1oVmhWM0VIMzBBV19EQzZILVUyQnE2OElqdmhjZGpzVVg2SlpMb01Sci1XbnpyQmlaS3ZRVGItb0NkN05ZcDVwaU5KcXpTbF82N2pvc3E2Zz09 |
#Community Guidelines
1. [Be excellent with each other](https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieSuggestions/wiki/index).
2. Be mindful regarding spoilers. Reddit's universal \>!Spoiler Tags!< are mandatory when discussing plot details of movies.
3. If you wish to be banned, do any of the following: Be rude, harass, ignore the subreddit's rules, promote your site/blog/article/channel/etc., promote your app/company, or post about a movie you worked on. [This subreddit isn't your link farm.](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion#wiki_guidelines_for_self-promotion_on_reddit)
4. Due to Administrators' past actions against this subreddit, we have a ***ZERO*** tolerance policy regarding piracy. You will be banned if you request or share links to full features, if you ask or inform how to pirate, or if you mention a pirating site/app/etc.
5. For Requesting posts:
* Use a descriptive title that lets people know if they might be able to help or not
* Double check that your request wouldn't be more suitable in one of the subreddits outlined in Rule #8
* We require a minimum of 125 characters in the body of the post to ensure quality requests and suggestions
6. For Suggesting posts:
* Suggest a single film, and no more than one every 24 hours
* Mandatory: Include the Title of the Film in the Title of the Post
* Encouraged: Using this format: *Film Name (Year)*
* Whet the appetite, don't go into detail
* Do not repeat a Suggestion that has been posted in the last 3 months
* Don't suggest a Barred Film (listed in the sidebar/wiki)
* Only suggest a film you've seen and enjoyed
* We require a minimum of 125 characters in the body of the post to ensure quality suggestions
7. Links must be to neutral informative sources; such as TheMovieDB, Letterboxd, Rotten Tomatoes or Wikipedia. Both Youtube and IMDb are not considered a neutral source. Again, be mindful that [this subreddit isn't your link farm](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion).
8. The subreddit isn't meant for:
* Identifying a film. Use r/tipofmytongue
* Asking for suggestions based on a list of films. Use r/ifyoulikeblank.
* Film reviews. Use r/moviecritic, r/moviereviews (more are mentioned in the sidebar)
* Requesting or suggesting a TV show. Use r/televisionsuggestions, r/ifyoulikeblank
* Asking where to stream a film. Use sites like JustWatch, MovieFone, ReelGood
* Sharing an idea for a film. Use r/movieideas
* Asking how a scene was created. Use r/Filmmakers
# The last Town Hall [was in June](https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieSuggestions/comments/1do548m/town_hall_summer_2024_harassment_filter_modifying/), the next one will be the last week of August. Participate!

# Barred Suggestions
Barred movies mean that no one should use them as a Suggestion. You can definitely reply to a post if someone wants a movie that suits it. These are films that come up so frequently in post discussions that the community at large is aware about their existence and posting about them is just pandering.
Barred Suggests| | | |
---|---|----|----
12 Angry Men (1957)|Coherence|Donnie Darko|Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind|
Everything Everywhere All at Once|Knives Out|The Man from Earth|Oldboy (2003)|
Parasite (2019)|The Prestige|Whiplash|
**Pro Tip**: This means these movies are *really* good and you should probably check them out.
---
#Optimal Use
This subreddit shouldn't be used for reviews, blindly suggesting lists of movies or just asking for generally universal acclaimed films. Google can easily supply all of those answers. The best way to use this subreddit is understanding that you're leveraging crowdsourcing to identify an itch to scratch. If you don't know specifically what you're looking for, then a Googled question will answer you.
You can easily find top Sci-Fi, Horror, Drama and all of the genres with a search. Someone has already asked and answered so many common requests: Top Korean New Wave, Grounded Science Fiction, Universally Acclaimed Movies, Specific Types of Horror or Thrillers; and so much more. The optimal use of this subreddit is when your question requires a human intelligence. Each time you ask for a movie to watch, the replies will be tailored *exactly for you*. Give as much detail as possible for what you're looking for and you'll be surprised at some of the answers.
#If you think you have a generic question, check [the FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieSuggestions/wiki/index#wiki_faq).
If you've begun to trust this community with their picks, we do have plenty of Monthly Round-ups of Best Movies:

This question comes round and round again on here and I regularly get e-mails asking exactly this from people who are interested in becoming palaeontologists. There is plenty of good advice out there in various formus and answers to questions, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a really long and detailed answer and as much as anything, having something like this will hopefully serve as a one-stop shop for people who have this question.
For anyone who doesn’t know me, I am a palaeontologist working on dinosaur behaviour and have been for over a decade (I got my PhD back in 2005). Though I’m British and based in the UK, I’ve had palaeo jobs in Ireland, Germany and China and I’ve got numerous colleagues in the US, Canada, all over Europe and in places like Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Australia and South Africa that I have talked to about working there, so I have a decent picture of what issues are relevant wherever you are from and where you want to be. There will of course be things I don’t cover below or that vary significantly (e.g. the duration of various degree programs and what they specialise in etc.) but this should cover the basics.
Hopefully this will help answer the major questions, and clear up some big misunderstandings and offer some advice to get into palaeontology. There are also some harsh truths here but I’m trying to be open and honest about the realities of trying to make a career of this competitive branch of science. So, with that in mind…
What do you think a palaeontologist does?
A lot of people asking about getting into the field seem to be seduced by the apparent image of the field as a glamorous science. There’s fieldwork in exciting places, media coverage (you can be on TV, in movies!), new discoveries, naming new species and generally being a bit cooler than the average biochemist or experimental physicist. But if this is what you think, it’s actually pretty misleading. You are only seeing the very top people and most of us don’t get much time in the field or travelling in a given year, and spend most of their time in an office and while that might include writing papers, there’s plenty of grant writing, admin and less exciting stuff. I rarely get into the field and probably >90% of my time is spent teaching and doing admin work for my university. A fair chunk of my research and outreach output is done in my own time taking up evenings and weekend and even vacations. I don’t get to sit around and play with fossils all day and there are very, very few people with senior enough research positions who get perhaps even 50% of their time to do real research and fieldwork – there will always be paperwork and admin that needs doing and even writing research papers or planning a field season can be really quite tedious at times. Real joy comes from discoveries in the field or in research but these are moments you work for, there’s not a constant stream of them.
So it’s worth making sure you have a realistic impression of real life as a palaeontologist and ask yourself if you have realistic expectations of what the job might entail and where you may end up. That said…
Do you know what jobs are available?
Palaeontology tends to be thought of as people digging up fossils and then maybe researching on them and / or teaching about them. Palaeontologists are scientists and they work in museums or maybe universities. That’s not wrong, but it masks a pretty wide range of careers and employers. It goes back to my point above, there are lots of jobs for palaeontologists or people working in the field of palaeontology and in addition to researchers and lecturers, there are science educators, museum curators and managers, exhibition designers, specimen preparators, photographers, science writers, palaeoartists and consultants of various kinds. People can work for media outlets, national parks and other government bodies, companies that mount or mould specimens, that monitor building sites and roads for uncovered fossils, and others. One of these might be more what you are interested in – you don’t have to end up as the senior researcher in your national museum to have ‘made it’ and similarly, that can mean you have a very different set of requirements to get a different kind of job. You pretty much have to have a PhD to teach at a university, but you can potentially get a job working preparing fossils with little more than a good high school education. Experience and engagement with the field can always lead to you changing paths and I know of people who started out in science without a degree that are now full professors or have some senior palaeontological position.
There are also lots of opportunities in various places to be a volunteer and you certainly don’t need a PhD or even a degree to get involved in scientific research and i know of high scoolers who have managed to publish papers – some drive and knoweldge can go a long way. There are opportunities to engage in the science without actually holding a professorship at a big university. If some of the information coming up is a bit daunting, there are options and alternatives.
Do you know what the job market is like?
Despite the above listed variety of jobs out there, there are still not a huge number of jobs in palaeo, and fewer still for academic positions. Worse, there a lot of people who want them. If you are desperate to get into an especially sexy area like dinosaurs or carnivorans then it’s even worse. For every academic job there are likely to be 10 well qualified candidates (and quite possibly 20 or more) and these are all people who have held at least one postdoctoral position (maybe 1 available for every 5 people) and have a PhD (maybe 1 available for every 20 or 30 people who want to do it). It’s very common for people for slowly drift out of the field simply because they cannot find a job even after years and years of training and experience and a good record of research. I know of colleagues who did their PhD around the same time I did and have yet to find a permanent position. Others are stuck in jobs they would rather not be in, hoping for something better and, sadly, when finances are tight, palaeontology is often a field which suffers cuts more than other sciences. As with the point above, I’m not saying this to put people off (though I’m sure it does) but it is worth knowing the reality of the situation. Getting on a degree program, even coming top of the class will in no way ensure you get on a doctorate program, let alone in the field you want to study, let alone a job at the end of it.
Do you know what the career trajectory is?
As noted above this can vary enormously depending on what you may want to try and do, but I’ll focus here on academic positions since that’s what most people do want to do, and it’s generally the longest and most involved pathway. First off you will need an undergraduate degree, increasingly this tends to be in the biological sciences though there are lots of people with a background in geology. You’ll need to know at least some of each but it’s perfectly possible to forge a palaeontology career (depending on what you do) with a very heavily biased knowledge in favour of one or the other. Most people don’t specialise seriously until later so don’t worry about doing one and assuming it’s a problem, and don’t get hung up on doing a palaeontology degree – there simply aren’t many of them about and it’s not a deal at all if you have not done one. With a good degree you can get onto a Masters program which will obviously increase your knowledge further and improve your skills, and then onto a doctorate which will be anything from 3-6 years depening where you do it. It could take a year or two to get onto this programs if there is something specific you want or of course you may need to work to get the funds necessary for tuition fees etc. Most people will also then go on a take one or two positions as a postdoctoral researcher or similar before finding a job. Some of these are short term (a year or so) and some can be much longer (5 year special research fellowships are rare and great if you can get them, a one or two year contract is more common). You may end up taking some short-term jobs (parental leave cover, or for a sabbatical etc.) and can bounce around on contracts for a while before landing a permanent position/ All told, it’s likely to be at least 10 years and could easily be 15 or 20 between starting at university and a first year undergraduate and having a permanent position at a university as an academic. This can also involve moving round the country or between countries (and continents) to find a job. Again. if you are dead set on working on taxon group X at university Y, be aware that it’s likely to be a very, very long shot or needs to be a very long-term career goal.
How do you start?
So assuming that this is still something you think you want to go for, how do you actually start on the road to becoming a palaeontologist? Well, the short version is go to university and do well. That’s what I did, at least in part because I wasn’t any more interested in palaeo than some other fields in biology and I kinda drifted this way (this is really common, even people who start absolutely dedicated to working on one particular area get sidetracked by new interests or simply the available opportunities). Of course with so much more information out there now online there are much better ways to get started and to learn something about possible careers, universities, current research, museums to go to, etc. etc. You may be surprised to find that a what of what you know is not that relevant or important for getting into the field. Knowing a whole bunch of facts isn’t a bad thing, but understanding principles, being good at absorbing knowledge and interpreting things and coming up with ideas and testing them are more important. You can always look up a fact if you forgot it or don’t know it, but if you can’t effectively come up woith ideas to test, collect good data and organise your thoughts then it’s obviously hard to do good science. Learning things like names of species and times and places they are from is obviously a good start, but don’t think it’s a massive head start on potential peers. Obviously you’ll want to focus on palaeontology, but biology and geo sources are important too, a wider knowledge base will be better than a narrow one. So, in sort of an order that will lead to you learning and understanding more and getting better:
Read online. There are tons of good sources out there – follow people on Twitter, join Facebook groups, listen to podcasts, read blogs etc. etc. Absorb information on biology, geology, current research trends, the history of the subject and the fundamentals of science. Engage and discuss things with people.
Read books. Build up your knowledge base with some good popular science books and then if you can access them, get hold of some university level books that are introductory for subjects you want to engage in. There are good books out there on palaeontology generally and various branches like invertebrate palaeo, mammals, human origins etc. Public libraries can often get even very technical works in for free and there are others online. Some books can be very cheap second hand.
Get more practical experience and engage with the field and fossils if you can. Visit museums and go fossil hunting. If you can, volunteer at a museum and get some experience and training no matter what form it might be.
Read papers. Large chunks of the scientific literature are online and available. You won’t get everything you want, but you will be able to see a lot of things. Learn from them, not just the science being done, but look at patterns and trends and look at how papers are written and delivered, how hypotheses are produced and tested. See what makes a good argument and a good peice of work.
Get to a scientific conference if you can. As with reading papers, it may be hard to dig into technical material given by experts aimed at other experts but you will learn something from it and get to see scientific discourse in action and meet people. Speak to students about how they got started in the field and speak to academics about their programs and what finding or positions may be available.
Try to get involved in scientific research if you can. Offer your services to academics with whatever your current skills and knowledge you have and see if you can help. It might be very peripheral sorting out specimens, or merely collating data or drawing things for a figure and it might not end up in authorship on a paper, but it would get you actively engaged and see the process of research up close. I have had people assist me from Germany and Australia so you don’t need to be physically in the smae building to collaborate and get valuable experience and training.
Any, though in particular all, of these will give you a huge advantage when it comes to getting started for real on a degree or with a new palaeontology job or internship. The best students know what they know and what they don’t, and have the initiative and drive to seek out opportunities to learn and get experience and are not put off by setbacks. You may not be able to get to a conference or find an academic looking for help, but you really should be able to start at least reading papers and developing your knowledge and understanding. That will massively appeal to people looking to recruit to positions or studentships and can make a big difference.
TLDR
Palaeontology is a hard field to break into, most don’t make it even if they are hard-working and talented and deserve it. But if it’s what you really want to do, then be aware of the risks and go into it open eyed but also hopefully armed with a bit of knowledge and advice as to what you can do to stand a better chance. Be prepared to have to move, be prepared to have to sacrifice a great deal, be prepared to end up somewhere very different to what you might have expected or planned, but also be prepared for the possibility of a fantastic job. All of it is of course up to you, but I wish you the best of luck and I hope this is some useful advice.

Chicken burrito with guac, 5/10
Overall portions were too large, and burrito was not covered by the foil and was loosely unfurled.
Ingredients were flavorful and proportioned well, but they were too isolated within the burrito. First few bites were only rice, beans, chicken, then the last third was only guac and rice. Mouthful ‘o guac isn’t as great as it sounds. | r/chipotle | post | r/Chipotle | 2018-07-22 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3VWZtWDhmZjBVV1RPUmd6S2tBM0h1R0FvSEZHR09CZi1aVmpiR3N6YWxHSlRLdnY4STZMc3RmRWpHYkU4RXZTSDAxaHdyWmNZWnhoa0NoT3M2TzZmSmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOSXU4RjFfUmswTG9rSFZaNEMxX1VLOGFCRTRpRGg3UGRJZjlTbTJMLU0xZVZ1ZkRyTGZ0V2ZMRlRMZ0lSc3phT0ZEbWxsNDVieHJLMTZqWExaV09UN3lnb3dfTXBueXRwbTBTS0NzQ1czLUc4SEprZjVsdWx6NHNTNUs0alRpbFFTN2U0RjVvUHFib1ltaGVjS1p5bGk4alBRZHhHMVZCaVR1ajVfT1FBUHpVPQ== |

All cities, states, countries, etc.. have different laws. Please at least include your state written as Example: (CA) for California. You can be more specific if you want.

Welcome to /r/Backpacking. It has now been over 10 years of this subreddit, and we just passed our 1,000,000th subscriber!
By popular demand, this subreddit explores both uses of the word Backpaking: [Wilderness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpacking_(wilderness\)) and [Travel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpacking_(travel\)) Below are the rules and links to the dozens of related subreddits, many of which focus on more specific aspects of Backpacking of both types, and specific geographic locations.
(The other main reason this post is here is so that the weekly thread works properly. Otherwise there would be two weekly threads showing.)
**Rules**
1. All posts must be flaired "Wilderness" or "Travel"
1. Submissions must include a short paragraph describing your trip. Submitted content should be of high-quality. Low effort posting of very general information is not useful. Posts must include a trip report of at least 150 characters or a short paragraph with trip details.
1. This is a community of users, not a platform for advertisement, self promotion, surveys, or blogspam. [Acceptable Self-Promotion](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion) means at least participating in non-commercial/non-self promotional ways more often than not.
1. Be courteous and civil. Polite, constructive criticism of ideas is acceptable. Unconstructive criticism of individuals and usage of strong profanity is unacceptable.
1. All photos and videos must be Original Content
1. Follow [Rediquette.](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette)

Hi,
I will be a post-bac at the NIH starting this summer. I am looking for 1-2 female roommates to help split the cost of rent. PM me if interested. Also, if anyone has recommendations for affordable housing on a post-bac salary, I would appreciate the help.

Has anyone experienced ongoing tooth pain (pressure not sharp) after traveling out of the country? I've noticed a pattern of my bottom set of teeth feeling like they're tight and achy. It doesn't happen right away either, usually within the second day of being off the plane. I've read that it may be due to trapped air in between the teeth and gums?
I tried flossing to release some tension and it made it worse! I catch myself doing things babies to when they're teething, pulling on my teeth, biting hard on something.
If anyone knows how to get rid of this or prevent it, please share. | r/travel | post | r/travel | 2019-04-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3cXFsM2k5WVBuYmNjaHBoLWZ1dFo0cnRiNS1QMWtOanAtVjJHRmJZZEhVN1NiMlJZbnFabTlZWTJxa3pXY2tGNUV5aUtrVmJHM21GSW1WeWczei1tZW9uZnNEVXFZejV5Ym02bnpOOGhValk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOUW1pS2xWVUJVSG5KMGVhQWdGOXFDemdHY3lrdlRoWmVuRnRWRzdaWGd2eWlYUWtGSVREQjBrT1lQQklLdEhWNlhRQ2RfZnY3S2Y1TVd3ZXdlOG5tanR0dm1TVDJaRTVtVW1OVkJsYlg2VktrbkNvLWRjX1ZTWnNwVG1nQWFUd0tjQjhJTFNOUlUxYVM0WUxLWVJSYmpmVHZNTWo1UU1NY3VwdEM5c0RLSnVfTWFQVXRNOTRXTzl6Zkdkb2xpSEM1 |

So, you want to be a fucking successful adult. CONGRATS, I have written some how-to’s for you so you can start to get your fucking shit together.
[Part One](https://www.reddit.com/r/Adulting/comments/bgzqbc/how_to_be_a_motherfucking_successful_ass_adult/)
[Part Two](https://www.reddit.com/r/Adulting/comments/bh0m1l/being_a_motherfucking_successful_ass_adult_part/)
[Part Three](https://www.reddit.com/r/Adulting/comments/bh3evn/how_to_be_a_motherfucking_successful_ass_adult/)
[Adulting with Depression](https://www.reddit.com/r/Adulting/comments/bh4lzh/how_to_adult_when_you_are_too_depressed_to/)
Here are some fucking FAQ’s on the parts I wrote so that you don’t have to scroll through and upvote every single nice comment in the comment section on all of the parts.
Q: Are there going to be more parts?
A: Yeah probably. But I have a fucking life where I do things that aren’t writing how-to’s, so they will arrive whenever I am feeling generous enough to give advice and have the energy to write about said advice.
Q: You should write a book.
A: Thank you, I am. The book is in the works, basically it’s a fucking 100-page rant where I talk about how to wash your balls.
Q: How old are you? Are you a boy or a girl?
A: I am an adult. I will not tell you my age because once I do you will suddenly have all these pre-conceived judgements about the quality of the advice I give. But here is a hint, I am older than 18 and younger than 50. I am a person. Take a guess on my gender and if you get it right Ill give you a fucking star.
Q: Why can’t you write normally?
A: Because there are a bajillion fucking self-help books out there written normally, and there are like 5 that are written in a way that people fucking relate to and listen to. If cursing *turns you off* then good. I only want readers who can fucking read this shit with a boner 6 miles long.
Q: I have a tip that you don’t mention, can you add it to the article?
A: Sure, if its actually fucking good. Send me a message with your advice that you think is good enough to make it, and I’ll add it to the end of the article and credit you.
Q: I run a podcast/YouTube channel/ blog, can I interview you or have you guest speak?
A: Generally, yes. My time is precious, so if you want me to write something completely new for your shit its going to take a while and will probably cost you more than exposure.
Q: What do you do when you aren’t cussing people out on the internet?
A: I own a business and am a stay at home parent. When I am not writing, I am packing orders, creating or listing new product, taking care of my son, or playing with my two dogs. I rarely have any down time.
If you have more questions you want answered or have an idea for an article you want me to write, send me a PM. I will decide if its cool enough for me to respond to it. | r/adulting | post | r/Adulting | 2019-05-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3SEtMTEhFSnlZRzZFM1I3SEtpbFRsUlU5ZnlNUmJtVzNJNURGeVhYckFNaVFBTl9DNE1VOGplNmNjUVZmZmJmRDFodDVEeGxsM0Z0b0pzYWwzTl80aXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOcGs2MEVkRTJxcDNHejRqTXdGZTdPYjhjcmdzSUQzM0JFbnpxdjBLd3R1OXgwZHpvbzNRXy00T0ZRZVFrRkZyUjdKMUVDTERqOHBaQUUwS0s3RV9UaWpVaktFVTNQX3l6OGhDaXJ4Zm83RVRNYV9IV2t3UHZiZ2ZNVFVoUnhUSUZfM0o0M0toUklCNGNXZDNUemNwaWk1MGxvMHRycmo4QUJkRjg5WjE0QmpmRnNnRW5BZ1pMU19yR3Z3MDNUMWVZdlNTcTlOTU1KUi1ua1I2Z3JQa0ZwUT09 |
Hi folks. Been lurking here a while and wanted to ask if any of you have advice of how to fly to Jordan from the UK/Europe. It'll be around August time and I'm assuming it's easier to fly from London but flights are looking to cost around £400/500 at the moment. I've looked around various sites to compare but wondered if anyone has any insight. | r/travel | post | r/travel | 2019-05-21 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3eUR1aXBaR0dManYwSFRoNEpCRlFyVjM4cU5WODVMdmdZWFFVSWlONm5mRmRrRmd4bWs2T1VJZTZ2WEVPaXJycXJlTS1Nbm9pOWFUUTBuX1VPbXhKQ1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOeTZSMm9vdDFTNGFYRmNqZnotaGNpTXpRZWpzQmN5MklUMHZ5OGVyNkVVVGlUX2s3bGZ4eWF5ZGhNQzNJMnFUdmxSNGhXZUFYTzVGMEN3alBUbU52RXAzakpQaXhhcEU1bjdjakhpNURuWDBHYURESW5wTzFHQ09wR0RPVUdDdWdESXdSZVpwdTY1V2dQLUY3OWRYcWVPNkZvSHRCNWNVVGp6SzE4QlRwVnUxVnFZWFNlU0ZIY05WZ205QXZOamYw |
#Welcome to /r/selfhosted!
We thank you for taking the time to check out the subreddit here!
##Self-Hosting
The concept in which you host your own applications, data, and more. Taking away the "unknown" factor in how your data is managed and stored, this provides those with the willingness to learn and the mind to do so to take control of their data without losing the functionality of services they otherwise use frequently.
##Some Examples
For instance, if you use dropbox, but are not fond of having your most sensitive data stored in a data-storage container that you do not have direct control over, you may consider NextCloud
Or let's say you're used to hosting a blog out of a Blogger platform, but would rather have your own customization and flexibility of controlling your updates? Why not give WordPress a go.
The possibilities are endless and it all starts here with a server.
##Subreddit Wiki
There have been varying forms of a wiki to take place. While currently, there is no *officially* hosted wiki, we do have a [github repository](https://github.com/r-selfhosted/wiki). There is also at least one unofficial mirror that showcases the live version of that repo, listed on the index of the [reddit-based wiki](/r/selfhosted/wiki)
##Since You're Here...
While you're here, take a moment to get acquainted with our few but important **[rules](/r/selfhosted/wiki/rules)**
When posting, please apply an appropriate flair to your post. If an appropriate flair is not found, please let us know! If it suits the sub and doesn't fit in another category, we will get it added! **[Message the Mods](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Fselfhosted)** to get that started.
If you're brand new to the sub, we highly recommend taking a moment to browse a couple of our awesome self-hosted and system admin tools lists.

**What is** r/BitcoinCash **?**
The [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) subreddit is a forum dedicated to discussing the cryptocurrency Bitcoin Cash (BCH). The aim of this subreddit is to cultivate a space for constructive discussion about Bitcoin Cash. Intentionally disruptive behaviour and heavily off-topic discussion will be moderated accordingly. Please refer to the sidebar for the subreddit rules.
​
**What is Bitcoin Cash?**
Bitcoin Cash is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. It's a permissionless, decentralised cryptocurrency that requires no trusted third parties and no central bank. With Bitcoin Cash you can safely and securely send money anywhere in the world, nearly for free.
For more information about Bitcoin Cash, please visit[ bitcoincash.org](https://www.bitcoincash.org/).
​
**Is Bitcoin Cash different from “Bitcoin”?**
Yes! In 2017, the Bitcoin project and its community split into two. Perhaps the least controversial way to refer to each side is simply by their respective ticker symbols, BTC and BCH. While exchanges commonly refer to BTC as simply “Bitcoin”, Bitcoin Cash, usually represented by the BCH ticker symbol, is considered by its supporters to be a legitimate continuation of the Bitcoin project, and the version with the best chance of creating a globally adopted peer-to-peer electronic cash system.
​
**Why was it necessary to create Bitcoin Cash?**
The legacy Bitcoin code had a maximum limit of 1MB of data per block, or about 4 transactions per second. There was also a common sentiment among Bitcoin Core developers that non-backwards compatible upgrades, commonly known as “hard forks”, should be avoided at all cost. This mindset severely limited the potential to introduce beneficial changes to Bitcoin, which were needed to prepare the protocol for mass adoption.
Although technically simple, the Bitcoin community could not reach a consensus on raising the block size limit, even after years of debate. In 2017, capacity hit the 1MB-imposed wall, fees skyrocketed, and Bitcoin became unreliable, with some users unable to get their transactions confirmed even after days of waiting. An average transaction fee of $50 took place in December 2017. As a result, Bitcoin stopped growing, and companies such as Steam and Microsoft began *dropping* Bitcoin, because it was no longer a cheap and reliable payment method.
In August 2017, a subset of the Bitcoin community decided to move forward with a proposed protocol upgrade, forking Bitcoin, and creating Bitcoin Cash by lifting the block size limit as a step towards massive on-chain scaling. There is now ample capacity for everyone's transactions on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain; low fees and fast confirmations are standard, and the network has been allowed to grow again.
​
**Isn’t** r/btc **“the Bitcoin Cash subreddit”?**
It is worth noting that the r/btc subreddit came into use before Bitcoin Cash existed. It was originally created as a forum for open discussion about Bitcoin. After August 2015, r/btc gained a large user-base when the[ r/bitcoin](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin/) subreddit[ began censoring](https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3h9cq4/its_time_for_a_break_about_the_recent_mess/) discussion about raising Bitcoin’s block size limit. After the Bitcoin community split over the Bitcoin Cash fork in August 2017, the [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/) Bitcoin community naturally became the Bitcoin Cash community, as that’s where its proponents already resided, having been ousted from r/bitcoin by censorship.
To this day, [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/) continues to offer a place for open and censorship-free discussion about all Bitcoin forks, with minimal interference by moderators.
​
**So how does** r/BitcoinCash **differ from** r/btc **?**
In July 2019, the [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) subreddit [introduced](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoincash/comments/cckje4/rbitcoincash_subreddit_change_of_moderation/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x) a stricter moderation policy, following requests from the Bitcoin Cash community for an alternative and specific forum for discussing Bitcoin Cash. The intention is to offer a space that is more focused on specifically discussing Bitcoin Cash, as well as one that is free of the ongoing low-effort trolling that frequently takes advantage of [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/)’s principled commitment to free speech.
This subreddit now offers all users a choice about the kind of forum that they wish to participate in. The hope is that, without the distractions that threaten to derail discussion on [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/), [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) may be able to foster a more focused, inclusive, and involved conversation.

**What is a “decor painting”?**
A decor painting is a piece of artwork created purely for decorative purposes. Purchased not from galleries or artists, but from decor & furniture shops like [Pier 1](https://www.pier1.com/wall_art), [Homesense](https://www.homesense.ca/en/article/go-bold-with-wall-art), [The Brick](https://www.thebrick.com/collections/home-decor-decor-and-accessories-art), websites like [AliExpress](https://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/100-Handmade-Oil-Paintings/1836225_502241643.html) and [OilPaintings.com](https://OilPaintings.com) or from markets & stands on vacation. Tell-tale signs that you have a decor painting are lots of stippling, undefined figures, hurried brush strokes, gradients, cloning techniques and a certain [Bob Ross](https://www.google.com/search?q=bob+ross+art&sxsrf=ACYBGNSCf9fzSO2qUb4uwID1A8QLPTi_ow:1579119848796&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiMuZTtt4bnAhWBop4KHUNDBgQQ_AUoAXoECBIQAw&biw=1920&bih=937) feeling to it.
Common vintage subjects would be European street scenes, landscapes of mountains / forests / lakes & rivers, vases of flowers, Tuscan landscapes, ocean & beach scenes and Asian style boats. See below for examples. They are often rectangular in shape to hang nicely above a sofa, you could even buy them from [Sears as a package](https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/it-came-from-the-70s-the-story-of-your-grandmas-weird-couch/). Modern versions are more varied in subject.
[Black velvet paintings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_painting) and artwork specifically for tourists as [souvenirs](https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/tourist-souvenir-paintings.html) share many factors with decor paintings.
**Where are they made?**
They are produced in massive numbers in painting factories like[ Dafen Village](https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/dafen-oil-painting-village-world-art-factory-180213181434532.html) in China or Mexico. Another [article](https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-village-60-worlds-paintings-future-jeopardy) here:
>*Dafen once produced an estimated 60 percent of all the world’s oil paintings. During its heyday—when the village’s reputation as an art factory rang truer than today—it almost exclusively cranked out copies of paintings in the Western art canon. These canvases found their way into hotel rooms, show homes, and furniture outlets all around the world.*
>
>*At its peak, Dafen was jam-packed with sizeable, factory-like studios, all employing Huang’s production line process. Individual workers each focused on a specific compositional element—background details, or eyes, or trees—dutifully painting their part and then passing the canvas along the chain.*
**Who’s the Artist?**
While they are "originals" they are not by known artists. Often entire production lines will use the same signature which explains why your research many have founds pieces by the same “artist”. As quoted above, often many people will work on the same piece.
**Do they have any value?**
Unfortunately, they do not hold much of any value. However, that doesn’t mean they can’t be enjoyed and some are even a bit collectible.
**Can I see some examples?**

One reason I order from Uber Eats over Grub Hub or Door Dash they (used to) didn’t have an order minimum. But now I have to pay $3?? My order last night was around $13, I also had to pay a $4 delivery fee, $2 service fee and now a $3 small order fee? With tip all those fees ended up doubling my order price! I would think charging a delivery fee & a service fee would be enough but now those fuckers want to squeeze even more money out of me??
And inb4 people telling me if I don’t like it don’t order from them: yes I know that genius, but the point I’m trying to make is I used to like Uber eats because they didn’t have this minimum order bullshit but now they do.

I've seen a lot of people trying to learn how to do pull-ups make this mistake.
If you can do just 1-2 pull-ups it is a strength exercise that you're doing. The same as a 1 RPM deadlift or squat. You need to give your body time to recover. That's why people who train strength rest for at least 4 minutes before doing another set.
So take your time, walk around, do some other exercise in between but don't treat pull-ups as just any other regular exercise if it is still a strength exercise according to your body. | r/bodyweightfitness | post | r/bodyweightfitness | 2020-03-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3XzQyMEs3Y0NHVTZ6S2VRWWNFMkJHUkNrNHBrWVd0X1h4bWJNUGNVdFdIRkg0RFNaZWMyZ0xxWEpsTE5IUUZ6TThGOV93WldCS1pvV1lDTnZQdTVPWkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOS1VrQWo4NlZkakRpbjNQVVNhSHoyVGFiV0hpcjVCV3Rlb3ptN1I3d2QwRjMybWlPVjRIc3pCM0JwWmNJQlZOSEVPdzFYVTdPbUVmSE5UMEN0OE96R1hkWGVES2g0T0ZCZkZBOHVHQU5OTllxSFNWbTRjdXRxTDhoYnBSVVN5aFpkSU4zM1hMWHhlZFNYNUVaZ3JXWjFSbmZjamVUVGg3bHBxS1MyS1czSWlCa2VBS2p0N0pia0NSYWVkLVliT1NYQ1FWRXp3YXpwSlNxVkJWWU5MSGFyQT09 |

What is Bitcoin?
----------------------------------------------------------
Bitcoin is scarce, decentralized, and global digital **money** that cannot be censored.
* Transactions once confirmed generally cannot be reversed
* Less than 21 million Bitcoin will exist
* Bitcoin is highly divisible to allow for micro-transactions (up to 13 decimal places in a payment channel)
* Bitcoin is an open, collaborative project that no company or government controls belonging to the people
* Bitcoin is more than just money, but a secure timestamping ledger, payment rail, and smart contract platform
Please read the Whitepaper for an general overview of bitcoin as designed
https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
----------------------------------------------------------
Quick Advice
----------------------------------------------------------
* **Do not respond to strangers messaging you** with investment advice or offers and read how to avoid being scammed from the posts below.
* Do not *invest* in Bitcoin until you do basic research, paid off all high interest debt, and have a emergency savings account of a stable fiat currency.
* If *investing* do not expect to get rich quickly. You should expect to wait *at least* 1-2 years before taking profits. Bitcoin is currently very volatile. In the interim spend and replace Bitcoin because its a useful currency.
* Beginners should avoid all mining and day trading until at least very familiar with Bitcoin. Mining is very professional(You cannot efficiently mine with your computer and need to buy special ASIC machines) and most people lose money day trading. More info on mining : r/bitcoinmining
* Never store your Bitcoins on an exchange or web wallet. Buy your bitcoins and withdraw it to your personal wallet where you actually own them instead of IOUs. Services like webull, and Revoult should be avoided because you cannot withdraw or use Bitcoin.
* Make sure you make a backup of your wallet(software holding keys to your BTC) and preferably keep it offline and physical and private. Typically 12 to 24 words you write down on paper or metal. This onetime backup will restore all your keys, addresses , and Bitcoins on a new wallet if you lose your old wallet.
* Beginners should avoid altcoins, tokens, and ICOs at least initially until they learn about Bitcoin. Most of these are scams and you should be familiar with the basics first. Bitcoin is referred to as BTC or XBT.

Exchanges Requiring ID Verification
----------------------------------------------------------
Bitcoin = BTC or XBT on exchanges
Exchange | Buy fee* | Withdraw BTC | Notes
---|---|----|----
[Cash App](https://cash.app) | Sliding ~0.75% to 3% | 0 | Same day withdraw for free, USA only
[Coinbase](https://coinbase.com)| 1-7% | 2-8 usd |~7Day hold on withdrawing Bitcoin for ACH deposit
[ Coinbase Advanced trader](https://www.coinbase.com/advanced-trade)| 1.20 % taker 0.6% maker and lower | 2-8 usd | ~7Day hold on withdrawing Bitcoin or €0.15 EUR SEPA fee
[Gemini](https://Gemini.com) | 1.49% over 200usd for web | network fee |
[Gemini Active trader](https://Gemini.com) | 0.4% Taker 0.2% maker| network fee |
[Kraken Pro](https://Kraken.com) | 0.25% maker 0.40% taker | 0.00001 BTC or Free LN | Deposit Fiat=USwire+5USD or SEPA free
[Swan](https://swanbitcoin.com) | Free for first 10k, thereafter 0.99% | 0 | Fees decrease based upon buying plan
[Bitcoin Well](https://bitcoinwell.com) | 1% | 0 | USA and Canada
[Coincorner](https://coincorner.com) | 1% for over 300 | network fee | UK exchange, 2.5% for card/free uk bank deposit
[Strike](https://strike.me) | 0.99%- 0.39% fees | 0 | Free DCA investing option
Note: Exchanges all have unique market prices and spreads so fees alone will not tell you the best rates. Best way is to directly compare the rates between exchanges. Buy fees above are for normal trading volumes. Verification and hold times can vary based upon lack of history, verification level or credit.
During bull markets when exchanges are extra busy it is normal to see very slow and poor customer support due to the amount of new clients and support tickets. We see many complaints due to this across all these exchanges. This is part of the reason this subreddit exists , to help answer questions for new users.

For a preferred way to buy Bitcoin without ID use a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) use https://bisq.network or https://learn.robosats.com/

Hello,
We're the creators of worlds first (and probably only) anti-social media app, Minutiae.
Minutiae is an anti-social media app that encourages its participants to document **life’s ordinary and mundane moments**. Once a day - all participants receive a notification at the **exact same minute** regardless of timezone urging them to capture whatever is in front of them there and then.
This daily ritual is shared by thousands of participants around the world every single day. And perhaps best of all - **the project ends** after 1440 days, **has no likes, profiles or comments** and offers an intimate view into a random stranger's life during a one minute window once a day.
Wired Magazine called the project the “The curious app that captures your unfiltered life” and Financial Times: "Anti-social’ photo app offers antidote to Instagram and Facebook”.

Around 1 billion birds (United States) and 25 million birds (Canada) die every year by flying into glass windows. This includes windows at all levels from low level houses to high rise buildings.
Window collisions are one of the largest threats to bird populations. However, there are several ways you can help reduce window fatality. Below are some links with steps on how to make your house bird friendly, either DIY or through reputable companies such as the American Bird Conservancy.

i recently accepted a postbac position at the nih and am currently looking for housing. Im from the westcoast and so navigating housing in DC is challenging. This might be a 'dumb' question, but does the redline only go up to the NIH medical center stop? The lab i'm working at is located at the NIH clinical center and the distance from the medical center metro stop and clinical center is ~ 14 min walk. Is this correct? Are there any other forms of transportation that would take me close to nih clinical center? Again, sorry if this is a dumb question lmao | r/nih | post | r/NIH | 2020-07-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3ZWdPUEpSNFhoM2VMSkRFQkZIc3UyNzdEWlNZYzMtTFJjWFg0ZlpXNVM5aVRaSElsWTRpcjJxNnVsUVgxZzlNb0pUeUM1RnJiZDBla3UtY1pSR1hzVEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlORzkwVFk5M3hmMXVXYW5obHBpU1dFa2RlM3NLRm4tZ05CQlFNb2tHeWNrNzBtTGRPMUtMSFdHRkpXSS1ySzh5bHQ4UUhGZ29rS2ZzTmxHTkhZUGN2SGZZbnB4RDktM2VJVGt3bXRuc1o0WFFJT0lhSG1McnFYbnhiTnhVR0tvaE5jVlpodWhpem8xQzdQMG9pWlBibTQ4c3JrdTJ5SThBa3VvenZXUUp5eWFZPQ== |

As a personal trainer, I wanted to take the time to answer some of the most frequently asked questions by people who are new to working out. Feel free to let me know if I've missed anything!
​
### How do I lose weight?
It’s actually way simpler than you might think: maintain a caloric deficit. Consume fewer calories than you burn. It doesn’t matter of you’re morbidly obese or you’re cutting for a show, this basic principal still applies. Note that eating a healthy diet makes this **far** easier - lots of fruits, veggies, lean protein and water will help you stay satiated for far fewer calories than fatty junk foods (not to mention you’ll have way more energy, and just feel better).
To find out how many calories you should be eating in a day to lose weight, you have a few different options. The first is to determine your maintenance calories with an online calculator, then subtract 250-500 per day from that (to lose about 0.5-1lbs per week).
The other option (my personal favourite, because everyone is different!) is to start by just honestly tallying up how much you’re currently eating each day. Once that’s determined, start by subtracting 250-500 calories per day. If you haven’t lost any weight in a couple weeks, subtract that amount again, until you start seeing progress.
There’s tons of food tracking apps out there, but I recommend [MyFitnessPal](https://www.myfitnesspal.com/) \- it’s free, easy to use, you can scan food labels, and the food database included is enormous.
Another important note - increasing the amount of calories you burn per day (ie. exercising) will also help you stay in a caloric deficit. However, it’s best NOT to rely solely on this method. Doing a whole hour of cardio will only burn a few hundred calories (plus will likely make you hungry for snacks by the time you’re finished) … or, you can simply avoid eating a bag of chips or a piece of pizza, to have the exact same effect.
That’s not to imply that exercise isn’t important in your weight loss journey - quite the contrary! However, instead of focusing on doing hours of cardio a day, this should only be used to supplement your diet (1-2 hours a week is fine for most people). Your focus should instead be on resistance training. Lifting heavy weights 2-4 times per week plays the important role of ensuring you **maintain your muscle mass as you lose weight.** Want to avoid that “skinny fat” look, and get “toned” instead? Make sure you’re doing resistance training!
​
### How do I lose weight in ___ area?
Unfortunately, spot reduction is a myth. Where you lose weight first (and last) is determined by genetics. However, you \*will\* eventually lose weight in all your problem areas. You just need to be patient, and keep doing what helped you start losing weight in the first place.
The good news is, the more weight you lose, the more visible the progress will be (especially if you’re doing a good job focusing on just fat loss, while retaining muscle). Going from 250-240lbs probably won’t be noticeable, but losing those last 10lbs will make a huge difference (since a few pounds will make up a far greater percentage of your total body mass). So the progress will be hard-fought for, but definitely worth it!
​
### How do I gain muscle?
It’s a combination of progressively harder resistance training, eating enough food, and lots of patience.
When you’re exercising, just going through the motions isn’t good enough. For optimal muscle gain, you should be performing each set with a weight that you can lift continuously for around 30-60s (this should amount to around 8-15 repetitions). If you feel like you can go for longer, choose a heavier weight.
Perform each repetition slowly (about 1 second concentric, pause, 2-3 seconds eccentric, pause), through a full range of motion. To clarify - the concentric portion of a lift is when you’re moving against gravity, and the eccentric portion is when you’re moving with gravity. Exercises involving long static holds (like planks) are great for endurance, but they won’t amount to much muscle mass gained.
I cannot overemphasize how important good form is either - for avoiding injury, hardwiring the correct neural pathways, and maximizing muscle gain. Especially when you’re just starting out, choose light weights, and make sure optimal form comes naturally before you start increasing the intensity. It’s way easier learning it correctly the first time than fixing bad habits later.
How much food should you be eating? It varies widely between people. Start with your maintenance calories, add a couple hundred to that (it doesn’t have to be a lot!), and measure your results. Be patient with your progress - men can expect to gain 1-2lbs of lean muscle a month, and 0.5-1lbs for women (beginners may gain a little faster). Eating enough protein is also vital to gaining muscle - a general rule of thumb is around 1 gram of protein (each day) per pound of lean body weight (ie. how much you weigh, minus the amount of fat you have).
​
### How do I get stronger?
It honestly depends on your experience level. If you’re just starting out, doing a normal resistance routine focused on gaining muscle will make you stronger. However, if you’ve been working out regularly for awhile (close to a year), using heavier weights (1-6 reps max) will help you get stronger a lot faster.
If you’re focusing more purely on strength gain, it’s important that each repetition is done as perfectly as possible (even moreso than for other training goals). That means stopping 1-2 reps shy of failure. Doing just one sloppy rep can severely impact your strength output for the rest of the workout. Don’t be afraid of taking longer rests between sets either (up to 2-3 minutes), as you want to be ready with as much energy as possible before you start your next set. It also goes without saying that heavier weight = greater chance for injury, and proper form will help prevent that.
​
### Is it possible to lose fat and build muscle at the same time?
Contrary to popular belief - yes. Especially if you’re a beginner! Just make sure you’re eating around maintenance level calories (along with enough protein), doing resistance training 3-4 times a week, and you’ll start seeing body composition changes.
However, if you’re significantly over/underweight, or have already been working out for some time, you’ll see much faster progress if you focus on one goal at a time. The main difference here is going to be diet - eating less if you’re trying to lose weight, or eating more if you’re trying to gain weight. Regular resistance training plays a part in both shedding fat and gaining muscle.
​
### How should I be structuring my workouts?
For the vast majority of people, full body workouts with compound exercises is the way to go. (For those who don’t know, compound exercises are those which use more than one joint at a time - think squats, bench press, rows, etc.)
The popular back/chest/shoulders/arms/legs split routine (or any variation of it) is good for advanced bodybuilders, but not ideal for beginners. Bodybuilders exercise like this because they need a much greater stimulus to properly stress any given muscle group, and more rest between days training that muscle group as a result of their increased workout intensity.
For a beginner, it’s better to hit each muscle group multiple times a week (this is great to hasten learning and growth). You won’t need as long of a rest period before training the same muscle again, because it won’t be as fatigued after each workout.
Compound exercises give you the greatest bang for your buck because you’re working out so many muscles in one movement (and burning way more calories at the same time). Isolation exercises (those working one joint at a time, like bicep curls or leg extensions) are best for bodybuilders who really need to hone in on a single muscle.
Doing resistance training 3-4 times a week is a good goal to shoot for. Workouts should be around 45-60 minutes, with around 6-8 exercises done during that time. Try to keep rests between sets to around 60s (this is all very generalized, and can change depending on experience level and goal). Space rest days evenly between workouts if you can.
Start your workouts with the exercises which require the most energy (usually those which involve lifting the most weight), saving any isolation/ab exercises for the end.
If you’d like some help planning your workout routine, I just released a fitness app called [PerfectFit](https://www.perfect-fit.app/). It gives you access to workouts designed by a personal trainer, all customized according to your unique goals, fitness level, and available equipment. There are tons of bodyweight exercises included - ideal for anyone working out at home! The app is currently available to download on Android, and iOS is hopefully just a few days away (currently under review).
​
### What should I be eating?
If your goal is a change in body composition (gaining muscle/losing fat), the amount of calories you’re consuming is the most important thing to pay attention to.
If you’re consistently working out hard but failing to gain/lose weight, chances are you need to make alterations to your diet. For weight loss, that usually means eating at a deficit of 250-500 calories per day; for weight gain, eating at a surplus of 200-300 calories per day.
What exact foods you’re eating has an impact on how easily you can stick to your calorie goals, as well as your energy levels.
Consuming around 1 gram of protein per pound of lean bodyweight (per day) is a given, regardless of what your fitness goal is. This helps to maintain satiety, and preserve/increase muscle mass.
Eating lots of fruits and veggies (as well as drinking 2-3L of water a day - more for some people) is a great way to feel full without consuming too many calories. It also just contributes to all-around health and energy levels.
Eating lots of fatty foods should be avoided if weight loss is the goal - not because fat makes you fat per se, but because they are so calorically dense. Only one tablespoon of peanut butter or olive oil is 100 calories! Conversely, if your goal is to **gain** weight, adding more fatty foods to your diet (healthy fats, if possible) can help you hit that calorie goal easier.
And carbs? Not as evil as people make them out to be. Think of them as the energy that fuels your brain and your workouts. Having around 50% of your calories coming from carbs is about the norm. It’s likely beneficial to raise this number even higher if you’re an especially lean individual, or you’re regularly working out at intense levels.
​
### When should I be eating?
The easiest way to time your meals properly is to think: “What will I be doing in the next 2-3 hours?” Eat according to the activity you’re about to do. That doesn’t mean you should be having a giant meal right before your workout, but ideally your biggest meal of the day would be several hours before you exercise. This will give you the energy you need, plus ensure the calories you consume are shuttled into your muscles instead of fat reserves.
If you’re about to do an intense workout, the best thing to eat beforehand (around 15-30 minutes prior) is a light snack of healthy carbs (like some fruit). For optimal recovery, aim for 20-30g of protein within an hour after you workout (if you miss this window though don’t worry about it). A protein shake is probably the simplest and most convenient way of doing this, but whole food is just as good.
​
### What supplements should I be taking?
If you have a healthy, well-rounded diet, including 2-3 cups of different veggies each day, enough protein per pound of bodyweight (from sources that include sufficient amounts of each essential amino acid), and adequate omega-3 fatty acids - then you’re golden, and probably don’t need any supplements.
However, the vast majority of the population would probably benefit from a simple multivitamin and omega-3 supplement, just to help fill any nutritional gaps they have.
If you’re getting enough protein from whole food, then you probably don’t need to add protein powder. However, if you’re struggling with this, then protein powder is a great way to easily increase your daily protein intake. Whey protein is the most bioavailable and has a complete amino acid profile, so it’s the best choice for most people. However, if you’re vegan (or lactose intolerant), there are lots of plant proteins available. You just need to pay attention to the amino acid profile of each one (possibly mixing and matching different plant sources if you need to).
As for all the other supplements out there, it’s honestly on a case-by-case basis as to whether they’d actually help you or not. If you’re a beginner, unless you have any specific requirements or deficits, you probably don’t need them.
​
### Is stretching important?
Yes. Please stretch (or do some other form of myofascial release, such as foam rolling), or you’ll eventually regret it. Regular exercise makes your muscles slowly form clumps of tissue and fascia. Neglecting to release these can result in restricted range of motion, and eventually pain.
Static stretching should be done at the **end** of your workout. Aim to stretch each worked muscle near its end range of motion for around 60s total. Don’t stretch before your workout, as this can impede strength output.
​
### Is warming up important?
Yes. Warming up is paramount to increasing blood flow and activating your muscles properly before you move onto more intense, metabolically demanding exercises.
Ideally, during your warm-up, you should be actively moving your muscles through the same ranges of motion you’ll be doing for your workout. This can be as simple as doing the exact same movement, but with minimal weight - for example, doing a few sets of bodyweight squats before doing barbell squats.
You want your warm-ups to elevate your heart rate, but not be so intense that they start tiring you out and detract from your workout. Usually 5-10 minutes of light activity is enough. | r/workout | post | r/workout | 2020-08-28 | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXh3NkQ2XzlXNVp6NlFHLWNuU1R4dmpPRGxUVE9GN3ZKTC12WGZJZ1A5cUtheFR1ZnYzTTRuN0hGVXJCNzFIOENndGkyS25KRnI4LVJKTnU1YTM1cHVSQmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm55dXlOQjFSUlI1MmNKcU4tTWJxc3VOM00tbG9nR3NMSnc0TUw3eTFHanl6M3JGRC00ZzlDS3NIVHhpekJiQ21jZjNfOUYzblNLbzRhcFhoVWlWNTRFZjE1VkpHeFdEeXA4X29TSzdmeXd5V1ZSaDJFd2FKT293X19sZmZ2SWRqcUUwVEVQUDRQRVI3RVRKUFJVY0ZyTXdsUGZwa1BycFFQalhuRUpIbC1nbElidG9TVWZZR2VraDNlSDc0dEFjNGFfSmxC |
