i think it ' s scenario # 4 in the rule book . you ' re army gets a breaking point based on how many points it ' s worth , rounded up to the nearest thousand with 1 point assigned for each thousand . ( so 1500 pts = 2 , 1250 = 1 , 2500 = 3 ) . for every standard in your army , you get one point , and an additional 2 points for your general . this is your fortitude , and it ' s reduced by losing standards and having your general killed . when you ' re fortitude = or is less than your breaking point , you lose . it was in a 2500 point game , and i had one standard and my general , so my fortitude was = to my breaking point , and i auto - lost .

actually , it - would - be funny if this wasn ' t reddit . sadly , most of you are illiterate and probably actually assume i can ' t spell ; and will point it out . you ' re like 9 - gag , except worse at spelling . not all sub - reddits ; but i ' ve stopped taking chanced . oh , and i laughed , so it is funny . thanks .

huh . i guess the guy who sold me mine didn ' t know how it worked either . : - ) either that , or some other part of the communication ( like between police cars , or the new fob - based alert thing ) are using different frequencies . i was told by someone in the telecom industry that one of the cellular carriers had picked up the responsibility for running the network , so maybe i understood something wrong .

this is something i was wondering about as well , specifically how would i wire it to one output jack , where i can choose which neck is put through ? i ' m guessing put a three way in front of it , top neck , both necks , bottom neck , but what would that look like ? if someone would scribble up a brief wiring diagram , a million thanks to you .

forgetting . i fear losing the memories that make up who i am , losing all the lessons i ' ve learned and being doomed to repeat them . i fear with different experiences , if i was a little less lucky , i ' d end up someone the current me would be ashamed of . also , weeping angels , man . or the mannequins in nightmare house 2 . as a kid , when i walked into the garage , i would imagine what it ' d be like to have a monster just staying right behind your head , one i ' d never be able to see no matter how fast i turned . weeping angels tap into that exact same thing for me , anything that ' s so silent , and almost always has the possibility of being behind you , or in your vision , or consists just of glimpses in the corner of your eye . . . aaaand now i have to walk home from work in the dark . thanks a lot , bub .

i hope i don ' t watch porn like that , but you could say that about any line of work . two of my siblings were molested by a family member , so i ' m sensitive to that issue . but i don ' t think it makes me or anyone else bad for watching porn . and i wouldn ' t ask my s . o . not to watch it .

AskReddit

that isn ' t a sound response to their argument . they are saying it ' s wrong to kill human life , even if it is only a single cell . saying mouthwash kills non - human cells doesn ' t respond to their argument . think about it like this . a mouth - bacteria is to a human zygote what a wolf is to a human . in the first case , they are both single celled organisms , one human , one non human . in the second case they are both large , multi - cellular mammals , one human , one non human . there is an obvious distinction between killing a wolf and killing a human . they are attempting to draw the same distinction between killing single celled mouth bacteria ( obviously moral ) to killing zygotes ( arguably moral or immoral ) . so while i disagree with the pro - life person up top , the response to it is illogical . tl ; dr your comparison is bad and you should feel bad .

what prompts this error ? your laptop ? the desktop pc ? something else ? can you better describe the error you ' re getting so i can , perhaps , better understand the root cause ? what are the results of executing ( in command prompt ) : ipconfig / all on your roommate ' s desktop pc ? is any device assigned a static ip ? do you , to the best of your recollection , encounter this error after your laptop or his desktop hibernates or sleeps ? this could possibly allow the dhcp to possibly re - assign the same ip .

i actually made an account to answer this one . compromise , do not expect it to always be how it is now , and understand that you will both change over time . if you can avoid it , do not spend a fortune on the wedding , accept no gifts other than those you list or cash . spend the stupid money that people spend on a big wedding , on something actually important like a home . never seperate angry , such as going to bed or going to work . if you are in an arguement , walk away and count to ten before speaking . . you will have fights . some of them will be huge and some of them will brew over time from tiny things that seem unimportant . it ' s a genuine shame you ' ve never lived together , because you find out a ton of stuff once that initial " omg living together be good " best behavior fades . cohabitation is all about compromise , and so is a good and lasting marriage .

i have a semi - related story to tell here . a nurse worked at a hospital for over 20 years without any disciplinary troubles . one day she was at work and started having a diabetic reaction ( i don ' t know the technical term ) . realizing that she was in serious trouble and not having any medicine with her , she opened the hospital storage cabinet and took a syringe of insulin and injected herself . she told her supervisor ( even offered to pay for the bottle ) and was fired on the spot . i think they definitely had the option of looking the other way and giving a warning ( they had before for other people ) , but seeing as how they were forcing older nurses out anyway , this was a perfect opportunity to get rid of some payroll . she lost her retirement and now can not be rehired . shit like this is the reason i can not spend my life working away for someone . fuck greedy people . moral of the story : if you borrow shit , don ' t tell your boss .

i don ' t see what you mean by reverse engineering biological structures but maybe i misunderstood you . . . are you saying that if it can ' t be made by man in a lab then it therefore must have been designed by something greater than man ? why couldn ' t it have been the process of billions of years of scientific process ? why is it there conclusion that this csi proves that these structures you refer to were designed by some sort of higher entity ? this is kind of the problem with intelligent design . just because something is complex and we don ' t fully understand it at this point in our scientific understanding of the universe doesn ' t mean it must have been created by a deity or intelligent being . it simply means we don ' t understand it yet , and further research must be done . also , you ' re talking about " id researchers , " people going into the lab with the intent to prove a faith - based , pseudo - scientific theory . no matter what their results , they ' re going to twist it in order to support a faith - based conclusion . if normal scientists had found some support for intelligent design as a competing theory to evolution i think you ' d see a lot more support for it in the scientific community , but they haven ' t . just look at [ project steve ] ( http : / / en . wikipedia . org / wiki / project _ steve ) if you want to see a representation of the sheer number of scientists who dismiss intelligent design and support evolution .

i rewatched the series recently and this part really hit home : sometimes life is like this dark tunnel . you can ' t always see the light at the end of the tunnel , but if you just keep moving . . . you will come to a better place . i lost my job last year and i ' ve been really struggling to find another one in the same domain . i ' ve been depressed for months , often crying myself to sleep and fearing that the only future for me would be a future of misery and job precariousness . every time i felt a door open for me , it would be slammed back in my face a few days later . i ' ve been really feeling like i was in a dark tunnel , with no light at the end . iroh ' s wisdom got through to me like nothing else and gave me the strength to go on at a time when i was really considering giving up . i see a light at the end of my tunnel now , but i ' m still fearful that the tunnel will collapse at any moment and plunge me back into the darkness .

simple , basic , and to the point . http : / / www . flickr . com / photos / 78587440 @ n05 / 7201738550 / this video was an experiment using a simplified illustration of the anatomy of the human body , and the word of god . the reason of the experiment was to gauge the response of religious and non - religious peoples when confronted with scripture they hold to be true and inspired by god ( religious ) , and when confronted with an opposite of what is becoming the socially accepted norm ( non - religious ) . in less that 6 hours i have received over 100 replies that range from name calling , insulting , questions of my intelligence , of my character , with many going off subject , trying to challenge the scripture with unrelated scripture , those trying to justify their stance using logic and reasoning ( or rather , those trying to remove my stance using logic and reasoning ) , and of course , the always easily applied downvotes . from this little experiment , i have discovered that people , regardless of their faith status , are exactly the way they were in the days of noah , and in sodom and gomorrah . we are a prideful people who believe that regardless of what god says , what we believe is correct . a people who read the word of god with a grain of salt , who dismiss god ' s laws as unimportant if we cannot live comfortably with those laws , or who do not believe in god altogether . a people more intent on the comfortable and peaceful way of tolerance , instead of the challenge of holding fast to god and his word regardless of who we offend .

if you have any more pointed questions , i can answer them to what i know at where i am at and how things work . i feel in the middle about the union sometimes , i like the company , the university and most of my coworkers , but the union feels distant because they protect people that i rather see go , but those same protections extend to me . in a large scale environment where you have 100 or more basic workers , i think it is a good thing . for when management gets moved around or replaced , you do not have to go beyond your basic duties to impress them , i hated that about working other places when they fired the chef , sous chef , or general manager . i already proved to the guy before them how committed i am , not going to play this game of jumping through hoops just to see the dedication . i left my last place for this place over $ 1 . 50 raise , but i knew my chef wasn ' t going to give me a raise , and he was new and had no idea wtfh he was doing , it got my coworkers full - time hours in the end too . do you know what union ?

by winspread do you mean net wins or amount of wins ? if you mean amount of wins , having less games played means that elo fluctuates more . the more games you play , the more accurate the elo reflects your skills . also , your elo may be higher / lower than what it should be depending on who you queue with because it the party ' s average elo , whether it ' s higher / lower than yours , alters the amount of elo you would lose / gain ( playing with high elo people means that you win more elo , lose less elo , and vise versa for playing with low elo ) . tl ; dr wins don ' t give a flat amount of elo , so that ' s probably the cause .

can you please point me to a single place where blizzzard ever guarantees the server will be functioning error - free ever , let alone on launch day ? every complaint about this is so petty and shallow that it is kind of disgusting . you seriously are saying that they didn ' t have a bit of planning ? are you that ignorant ? i ' m sorry but your it sys admin experience of 12 , 000 users means absolutely nothing , there is no comparison in scale or complexity between what you do and battle . net .

i figure this might be the most logical thought - process . but personally i interpret this line " lelouche : the punishment for what you ' ve done shall be this then ; you will live on , always wearing that mask , serving as a knight for justice and truth . you will no longer live your life as suzaku kururugi . " as lelouch speaking literally , because suzaku " died " when the capital of britannia was destroyed . so where i believe lelouch to be alive , i can accept this theory if it ends up being lelouch is dead .

now , lying in the ditch with billy and the scouts after having been shot at , weary made billy take a very close look at his trench knife . it wasn ' t government issue . it was a present from his father . it had a ten - inch blade that was triangular ' in ' cross section . its grip consisted of brass knuckles , was a chain of rings through which weary slipped his stubby fingers . the rings weren ' t simple . they bristled with spikes . weary laid the spikes along billy ' s cheek , roweled the cheek with savagely affectionate restraint . ' how ' d you - like to be hit with this - hm ? hmmmmmmmmm ? ' he wanted to know . ' i wouldn ' t , ' said billy . ' know why the blade ' s triangular ? ' ' no .

huh , i ' m impressed . i personally couldn ' t make such a leap . even rereading it knowing what i know . the lecturer snorts and says " show me the square root of minus one pieces of chalk , then " , and asimov replies ' i will , if you give me half a piece ' . i was confused because here asimov says that he ' ll show the lecturer i pieces of chalk if he gives asimov half a piece . the lecturer snaps a piece of chalk in half and hands it to asimov , who looks at it with a puzzled expression , and says ' but this is one piece of chalk ' . given the previous statement , asimov ' s quip makes it seems like he ' s somehow demonstrated to the lecturer that he ' s produced i pieces of chalk . the story is still broken to me , though not to everybody i suppose .

i haven ' t heard anything about banning going on for bing , however , i ' m sure like any other service they can detect bot - link behavior and act accordingly . i ' ve seen a website linked from / r / beermoney that will automatically do searching for you . i can see a couple problems with it that could possibly get someone banned / flagged : 1 . bing is loaded into an iframe and searches may not have the right header information showing the search originated from bing 2 . search terms that are provided are usually single words with no additional qualifiers to the searches 3 . searches are done in a somewhat quick succession ( depending on how many you set it to do ) searching this subreddit for " [ bing ban ] ( http : / / www . reddit . com / r / beermoney / search ? q = bing + ban & restrict _ sr = on ) " and " [ bing banned ] ( http : / / www . reddit . com / r / beermoney / search ? q = bing + banned & restrict _ sr = on & sort = relevance ) " don ' t turn up anything useful . i don ' t think that bing really has to worry too much about someone abusing their system since you are limited to the number of points they allow you to get per day from searching . swagbucks on the other hand allows you to earn a lot more per day ( minimum 134sb = 4 dailies ( toolbar , poll , noso ) + 5 survey dqs + 75 sbtv + 50 sbtv mobile ) . i ' ve actually been thinking about the recent banning activity on swagbucks and have noticed that their memberships have gone up quite a bit and i ' m starting to wonder if they are getting to a point where they need to " cull the herd " so to speak to be within a profitability range they are comfortable with .

let ' s be frank - if you could choose between : living in the states , having the same right as everybody else ' s to conceal a handgun , feeling safe on the presumption that " if i have a gun , i am safe " ; or living in places like singapore , germany or new zealand where you cannot arm yourself , neither is anybody on the streets is packing heat , and society is as safe as you could ask for . which would you honestly choose to live in ? i could move to these countries now - in theory - if i wanted . i ' m not moving . safety , or more precisely " the sense of feeling safe " is important - but it is not the most important thing , nor the only thing . so , i would " honestly " choose to live here . i don ' t own a gun because i fear criminals . i work hard to live in an area where violent crime is quite rare . i own a gun because i fear large , unaccountable entities , institutions , and factions , and the insistence they seem to have on possessing a monopoly on the means of force . paying your protection money to the mob boss may in fact keep you feeling safe , but i have zero use for that kind of safety . history rolls on . times change . circumstances change . security , liberty , economic concerns wax and wane and occasionally there are revolutions , depressions , invasions , and crises . i ' m not taking a bet on a faceless institution like the state to remain as it is currently . and certainly not here in the united states where the last decade , in particular , has shown that government will basically stop at nothing in its lust to consolidate power , use surveillance against its own citizens , and otherwise . trusting our government , which is what gun control entails , isn ' t in the cards for me .

this is the best advice here . especially the wine tastings . every good shop has free tastings on the weekends , take advantage of it , ask questions , and don ' t every fail to speak up for fear of sounding stupid . we were all there at some point . as a professional i can say an enthusiastic novice is way more engaging and appealing that someone who thinks they know everything but knows little . truth be told , wine geeks love foisting their knowledge on young little sponges , so by all means , talk to us ! ! : )
