Amateur penny wrangler here

Hello all. I've quite enjoyed following the posts here the last couple weeks, particularly you Mr. Pegasus. I am a lazy college student getting in to this irresponsible world, and would like any wise worldy tips/advice. My most recent "holy fuck sure thing" pick was HOKU, which I debated getting in at .08, but lacked the nuts to do. 2 days later it is at .20 and I kill myself. Anyway, I get the feeling you have to get used to going with your gut and pulling the trigger, taking losses if they may come. Particularly I would like to know your favorite brokers for pennies, your tips on getting out of a jam if your penny starts to dive, and general attitude pointers on the best mindset for living in penny land. Also, what are the pros/cons on trying to play pump&dumps to your advantage vs. Seeking out legit penny companies with good.news on the horizon (contracts, fda approval, big news conference) Sorry if this is rambling, I am pooping and typing on my phone. Thanks. Also, all hail AmericanPegasus.

Anyone know if the 'Stealthy' perk, works on jammers

I was wondering if it would also reduce the range at which drop jammers and jammer packs will uncloak you. I was considering using it when raiders start showing up on the enemy defense.

[Troubleshooting] Question about connecting the system panel cables

My motherboard is an ASRock H61M-VS Micro ATX LGA1155, my case is the NZXT Source 210 ATX Mid Tower Case. When going to plug the system panel cables in I noticed something that concerned me. The case cables that need to be connected to the motherboard are very confusing. I have a cable running from the case that is labeled power switch, which has two holes for prongs. But on my motherboard I have one prong for the power button. (Third prong from the left, top row) Next to this one prong for the power button is a prong that is labled ground. (Seen in picture of manual.) Because of this, instead of only plugging the power button prong in, i also need to plug in the ground prong. Do I plug the ground into the second hole? I am very lost. Is this normal? ALSO, underneath that, I have the cable for the reset switch. Again, this is a two holed piece. Because of this, I need to decide between plugigng the other side into the dummy prong, or the ground prong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reduce wattage in a Mesa Boogie - is it possible?

I'm thinking of moving forward with a deal and buy the Mesa Boogie F100 Combo. Thing is - that amp is a beast to play in an apartment. Turning the volume know down to a minimum will have an effect on how the valves "sweeten" the sound, from what I read, so I was wondering if there's any tool to reduce wattage output but keep the valve juices flowing. Thanks!

Noise from front end in 4HI... (95' XJ)

Well, it finally snowed enough for me to actually have to use 4wd. I put it in 4HI cause it wasn't necessary to use 4LO. But whenever I would go up a hill or put a little bit more strain on the driveline, it would make a clanking noise from what sounded like the front right corner. In 4LO, it would make absolutely no noise at all. I read somewhere that it may be a bad hub bearing, but I wanted to see what you guys thought.

Are There Any Alternatives to EQD?

I was just wondering if there are any alternatives to Equestria Daily in terms of a news source in the community. I've started to hear more, and experience first hand, the darker side of EQD. Long story short, I received a very unprofessional rejection letter for a story I wrote. While it didn't certainly hurt my feelings (bullet-proof ego here), I felt that getting such a rude rejection could really discourage new writers from writing. I wrote an e-mail to Sethisto saying such, and said that I was not asking for a reread, but merely questioning the behaviour of the prereader. I never received a reply. **TL;DR** I don't want to support the behaviour I've been hearing about and seeing from EQD, so I was wondering if there are any alternatives.

Interviewing a band over email tomorrow, seeking advice.

Morning chaps, looking for some help here. I run a blog and have done for a little while. Nothing fancy but it's starting to pick up a bit. Tomorrow I'm doing my first featured band, which is going to include an article on the guys and the music, followed by what will essentially be an interview conducted over email. I've never interviewed a band before at all, and don't want it to be just the standard questions about influences, but equally I don't want to go too far down the route of obscure questions for the sake of obscure questions i.e "Who can cook the best Haggis?". Any help would be appreciated, cheers for helping out. Tl:dr - I'm interviewing a band over email and don't want it to be shit. Advice most welcome.

Were Adam and Eve the only people in the world?

First of all, English is not my main language so sorry if I'm not explaining my self clearly. So my question is were Adam and Eve the only people in the world when they had been created? I've seen many theories on how they populated the world from so few people, (That Cain and Abel were born with twin sisters, and reality was different at the time...) but the most interesting one that I've read is that Adam and Eve were the only ones in the Garden of Eden, but many other people existed on Earth, too. And the Torah didn't mention it because.. well like many other stuff it doesn't mention - it doesn't concern to us. I'd like to see what is your stand on that matter, and maybe learn something new.

The couch in my grandparent's basement...

My grandparents, both of which have passed by now, lived in a small town just a few hours from where I live. Since it also happened to be my mom and dad's hometown, we'd often go there for many different occasions when I was a child; 4th of July, Thanksgiving, sometimes Christmas. I have lots of relatives in this town. My grandparents house, in particular, was very interesting. The basement was a place where me and all my cousins would hangout as kids. There was a bar in the main room which held all sorts of little treasures behind it such as a typewriter and lots of old knick knacks and toys. Off of this main room there was one bathroom and 3 bedrooms; a red room, a green room, and a blue room. There was always a unique vibe to being down there. There was one moment, however, in 2000 or 2001 that really startled me. It was something that had never happened to me before and has never happened since. When you walk into the basement, immediately to your left is an old, orangish, striped couch. Interesting to note is that my grandmother happened to have passed away on this couch just a few years prior to this moment, in 1999. It was a midsummers night, and I was staying over at my grandparents house, most likely in town for the 4th of July. Although I spent plenty of time at my grandparents, I rarely ever stayed the night so this was an exception. Never having really believed in the supernatural or "ghosts" to be exact, (still don't really do necessarily...) I never thought of it as a strange idea or taboo to sleep on the old couch in the basement. I had done it before, and although it happened to be my grandmother's final resting place (may she rest in peace) I never thought much of it. It was maybe 2 or 3 in the morning, and I suddenly awoke to the sound of rain and lightning outside the basement window. On occasion I will wake up for such a storm, although about half of the time I tend to also sleep through them. This wasn't the weird part though... What threw me off was that I was visibly shaking and experiencing intense fear for no apparent reason. Being somewhere in June or July, it could not have been due to shivering naturally from a low temperature or anything. Also, like I mentioned, storms never usually seemed to frighten me before this time, so I don't see why that would play a factor in it. I was also around the age of 12 or so, and had never woken up with such abrupt panic and fear which is exactly what I felt as I laid there. I remember exactly what I did after, which was that I got up and went to my mom in the next room and told her, "I can't stop shaking." It reminded me of when you see a dog shaking during a loud thunderstorm, but I had no idea why it was happening to me. Since then, I have yet to experience something like that, and again, this was the first time I had slept on this couch since my grandmother had passed. It was certainly the last time I slept there as well.

Sketchy Neighbors, Talk to them, or avoid them?

Some new neighbors moved in next door. It is obvious that they are selling drugs. Every night they have between 20 and 50 different people frequent their house. Tonight even, we saw plenty of nice cars pull up and park a few houses away, then walk to the neighbors and stay for a few minutes then leave. My question is: Do we go over and bring a six pack saying "hey, welcome to the neighborhood, we keep to ourselves over here, just as long as you keep to yourselves". Or the other option, just never confront them. Keep to ourselves. When they look us down, we just hold strong, and never talk to them. I think we should talk to them and break the ice, my room mates think we should keep any distance possible. (side note: we are white, midwestern, city kids, they are Africans that just moved from cali)

Moving in with roommates -- How to decorate our living room

I'm at that stage of my life where I'm on my own working, but not making enough money to have that one bedroom apartment. So I have roommates. And roommates come with their own style and their own furniture (which they are very attached to). So, can r/interiordesign help me create a cohesive living room using what we have? (Plus a couple extras to tie the place together...) My roommate came with a couch, which he loves. It's not my style, but I'm determined to make it work for at least a year (It looks sorta like this We also have been gifted this entertainment unit in red. And finally, we are in the market for some sort of arm chair and rug (our living room is very small, so a couch and arm chair is about all we have room for). This in the grey is more my style. What sort of color pallete do you think would work with the red and brown? Should we slipcover the couch? Is the chair I want going to look really weird with that overstuffed couch? Is there a different style/color I should be looking for? tl;dr: I live with roommates and their stuff, but I still want a cohesive, adult-looking living space without having to buy an entire new living room set.

Really really cheap wedding favors!

Really great idea in case anyone needs some cheap wedding favors - This company - sells sheets of loose blooming seed papers for really really cheap. I just bought a few sheets for $10.50 plus $4 shipping. I'm planning on taking a heart-shaped paper punch and punching hearts out of the paper, then tying a little tag on each one, telling my guests to plant the paper and watch their flowers grow. That's enough favors for 200 people for just $14! Just thought I would let everyone know in case anyone is on a tight budget like me, and needing to DIY a lot of stuff.

I am a HoN player since beta who had never played dota or dota based games previously. When I played Dota 2, it just felt like "hon underwater" I noticed the move speeds are incredibly slow, is this the only contributing factor? I also heard of something called turn times or some shit, is that quicker in hon? Thx in advance! **EDIT** This is not a complaint, I like the game, I'm just curious why it feels so much slower.

Chaos Dragons players, enlighten me!

So here's my problem: I help my brothers and other friends with decks. Since I'm the only one who plays on any competitive level (only locals, but hey, it's something), I'm the only one that's in touch with the meta. But lately I have had trouble giving advice to people concerning Chaos Dragons, since I have NO idea what to do without 3 REDMD. Future Fusion...w/e...it was just steroids for the deck anyways. But with 1 red eyes the deck seems like it's gonna be much slower. So my question to you is this: What route are you taking with this next format? I've heard many people speak of upping the LS count and putting in Judgment Dragon. I've also heard of Heiratic variants now. Are any of you doing something different? Also, a side question: My brother ran a Blue-Eyes engine (White stone + Blue Eyes) which worked rather well with FF, LS, and stuff. But with FF gone and REDMD at 1, they seem like dead draws (because Lightpulsar will always have priority to ensure REDMD staying on the field over a beatstick like Blue-eyes. This seems pointless now, should I tell all these guys to get rid of their rank 8 XYZs for things they actually need? Stuff like Heliopolis, Thunder End Dragon, and Neo Galaxy Eyes don't seem like they'd work anymore. Thanks for reading this incredibly dull post. Any help would be appreciated.

[REQUEST]My grandfather passed away this morning. Insurance won't cover his funeral.

Hi Reddit. My grandfather passed away this morning around 7am from lung cancer. He was such a wonderful and hardworking man that loved his family and loved to grow and take care of flowers, fruits and vegetables. When I went to be with my grandmother this morning she was tore to pieces because of his death. She got a call stating that his insurance through colonial penn was not going to cover the cost of the funeral because he hadn't been paying in long enough so they would only reimburse him whatever he paid which is around $200 - 300. We are working with the local funeral home to figure out what the lowest cost options are for us since my family is completely broke. After watching Six Feet Under, I can't help but to despise funeral homes and their practices, but it is what it is. They mentioned we could have the embalming done + graveside service and a casket in the $3,000 range. We are currently trying to pay for the burial plot as well which is $900. I am reaching out to /r/assistance to see if anyone could help out to raise enough for my grandpa's funeral because we don't know if we can get enough on our own. We are in the process of calling local churches and organizations to see if we can get assistance as well. The funeral home can hold the body for up to 2 weeks but then they wouldn't be able to do an open casket ceremony due to the body decaying. It looks like we are only going to be able to do a graveside service, if we can get enough money. I live in Clark County, KY. If anyone would be kind enough to help out or have any suggestions as to what we can do I would appreciate it. I could give you any information you may need including my location, names, name of the funeral home or anything else you may need or if you would like to donate directly to the funeral home that would be great too. Thanks so much Reddit, Happy Holidays. Here is a photo of my grandpa next to my grandma take a few years ago.

I [24/m] do not want to spend Christmas with my gf [23/m]. She has had her heart set on it for months.

We've been dating for only 4 months, but since the beginning she has been talking about how much fun I'm going to have spending Christmas with her family. The reason she's so excited is because I am not Christian. She is not religious either, but is excited to "expose" me to what a typical Christmas is like and show me her family's traditions. When she brought it up, I'd shrug and laugh it off and tell her sure, but now that it's getting closer, I'm really starting to dread it. I've visited her family before, and it was not a pleasant experience at all. They live 3 hours away in a small and cramped house. There is no privacy at all. I must sleep on a couch. They are loud and emotional. Even though I've never "celebrated" the holidays, I do love them - I love being at my parents house and relaxing and having my guard down completely. We all go out to dinner, and come home and watch a movie. For 4 days, I sleep as late as I want. I eat whatever I want. I have an extremely stressful job where I haven't been in a position to take a proper vacation in months - it's just been so busy that I literally can *not* take a vacation. I have not had more than 3 consecutive days off (weekend included) since last Christmas. She is getting more and more excited about "our Christmas" this year. But I need a fucking break so badly. Going to her parents house and spending Christmas break there...is not a break at all. It is work. I do not want to do it. She will be pissed if I tell her this. Her thinking is, because I don't even technically celebrate Christmas, I have no excuse not to join her. I want to propose that maybe we could spend our own private Christmas together and make dinner and exchange gifts, then she could go join her family and I could go to mine. But she will still be upset. She will say "fine" and not talk to me for 48 hours. She'll be upset that I led her on to believe I would do this (I sort of did). She'll wonder about potentially breaking up. I don't know if she'll do these things for sure, but they're the outcomes I fear most based on previous behavior. Can someone just write me a step-by-step guide how to handle this? **TL;DR: Girlfriend thinks I'm spending Christmas with her, when I really really really don't wan to. How do I tell her?**

I'm fucking sick of people asking me to help them move! Fuck you all!

Look, I never, ever in my life asked someone to help me move my shit. The "there's pizza and beer" shit isn't fucking cute. If you are going to ask me to help you move, and are too cheap to hire movers, but not cheap enough to put down a deposit on a new place, you can at least respect me and offer me something of value for my Saturday leisure time. You can shove that fucking pizza and beer up your ass! And by "you" I mean everyone who defaults to friends instead of family or movers to move their shit. I could just tell you "no" or that I'm busy, but I'm not a good liar. Helping someone move isn't a bonding experience, it isn't fun, and it isn't a display of being a good friend; to me it's usually one person being too cheap to hire someone that they default to using their "friends" time first. Edit: Maybe I should take a different approach

police brutality in Saint Paul, Minnesota. [video is NSFW. language and violence.]

before i begin: i know that this isn't normal for /radicalchristianity, but this is a human rights issue. i do not know what crime this man has committed. i DO, however, know that nothing in the opening footage denotes that he is physically threatening/resisting the officer. these days, nearly every video on youtube which deals with the police is labeled with "police brutality." very rarely do i see such a video and think anything more than "well, i can see how the officer might have percieved that person as a physical danger." this is not one of those videos. the video itself, at the time of posting, has 303 views. Let's change that. this is something that shouldn't disappear in the night. supposedly, the Saint Paul's mayor's office has already been contacted by several people, but they need to be flooded. you can contact mayor Coleman's office by phone at (651)266-8510, or by using the form found here:

How to keep a consistent copy of content across a web server cluster?

We are looking to implement clustering for our servers for internal web apps (for high-availability purposes), but I was wondering, how do you keep a consistent copy of the content on all servers? We don't have shared storage, and that would also introduce a single point-of-failure, so it seems counterproductive. We are running Server 2008 R2/IIS7

How often do you have nightmares?

I was talking to a co-worker today about not getting a lot of sleep this week when the subject of dreams came up. I mentioned I have nightmares maybe three or four times a week that I usually wake up from. She said she's had two in her life. One friend of mine said he's never had them. How often do you have nightmares? Do they ever throw your whole morning off after you've woken up? Edit: My friend told me I should seek therapy as this is not normal... I think that is a little extreme? It's just dreaming, I am fine for the most part otherwise.

Nerd redditors, help me (a non-nerd)understand the appeal of Dungeons n Dragons.

I have been dating a nerdy guy for a few years now, we're in our mid-20s. He and a lot of his friends love playing D&D, and I can't understand the appeal of something that requires you to sit for hours on end pretending to do battle with imaginary monsters. For me, a well-traveled person who has explored a few different continents over the past couple years, the possibilities of the real world and all the different cultures we have here are amazing and overwhelming enough as it is. If you spent your entire life traveling the world, you would still never meet everyone and see everything, so why live in a fantasy world that keeps you from meeting actual people and experiencing actual things? I'm not trying to sound like a douche, I just have a hard time understanding it and my boyfriend hasn't explained it in a way that would help.

ELI5: why do the likes news reporters talk about things like God, instead of leaving religion out of it?

This is something that has always puzzled me. Why do news reporters say things about God for example (eg, "God was with them", "But God made them x" etc), instead of leaving religion out of it? Not everyone is religious, or they may have totally different beliefs, so surely it's much easier just not to mention religion? Or in certain community things, they have a prayer. Why? If someone wants to pray, can't they just pray themselves instead of having to do it amongst other people who may not even be religions? This may sounds stupid, but I really wonder. I'm not religious at all, and I don't want to start any sort of debate here. Thanks!

Looking for collaborators: solution to unstocked shops

Hello all, I started Civcraft just a couple of days ago (know MC well though) and have had issues with not being able to find stocked shops. I've had a few ideas about how to set up a marketplace which would permanently get around stocking issues. While prices would vary, it would take an extreme case to wipe out stock. Rather than start this by myself and have it all depend on one person, I'd rather put together a group and build this together. We could then set up some structure so that when we all move on the company can keep going. This project is not expected to be a big money maker. I'd suggest that all of us going in work on the basis that any money it did make would be re-invested in improvement. The purpose is to aid trade, and make specialisation easier. For reasons I'll discuss with volunteers, the structure will have to be _big_. I'm using a couple of bitcoins to ~~cheat~~ buy starting materials and give it a kick-start, but would appreciate support in the following areas: 1. Choosing a location. Centrality is important, but so might be political concerns. 2. Architectural design. I suck at this, first appearances count. 3. Construction of the building. 4. Materials. I'd like every block to be stone-reinforced. That's a lot of stone. Ideally I'd focus on coordinating people and doing the redstone work. The more of the rest of this I can get help with, the better. If you'd like to help, please post your in-game name, what you can contribute, any examples of existing work, and any resources you can contribute. Cheers, Tim (pruby)

How do I create new names for variables inside a loop?

I'm a big python/programming noob so sorry if this question is poorly worded and if terminology is off. Let's say I have a 50x50 grid of tiles. I have 3 classes in a list and I want each tile to randomly generate an instance of one of these classes, picked at random. How do I go about naming each of these new instances(objects?)? Assuming I already randomly picked a class from the list , my code looks a bit like this (just gonna use the same choice from the list for every tile to simplify it) class cat(object): def __init__(self, x, y): self.x = x self.y = y list1 = (cat, dog, mouse) x=1 y=1 # picking cat generating = True While Generating: if x < 50: newInstance = cat (x, y) ### This is where I need new instance names to be generated x = x + 1 if x == 50 and y < 51: y = y + 1 x = 1 else: generating = False So that code should run through every x,y coordinate on a 50x50 grid and generate a new instance of the cat class at each coordinate. How do I go about giving newInstance a new name each time I want to assign it to an x,y coordinate? I'd like to do it without having a preset number of names to call them from because I might not know how big the grid will be ahead of time so I don't want to run out of names. Thanks! p.s. using Python 3.2 EDIT:rewrote the question/code to use classes instead of any variables, sorry if title of post is misleading now. EDIT2:Got my answer, i needed to make a list and then append new instances to that list, didn't understand the syntax for it, thanks!!!

How can a queerqueer feminist even exist on the internet these days? How do you do it?

Hey all. I'm having a problem with using the internet these days. I identify as a genderqueer person, and I'm also a geek. I love designing electronics, video games, computer engineering, and so on. This usually means I find myself on places like Reddit, or other "nerdy" websites. Nowadays, it doesn't matter where I go, but I am assaulted with misogyny wrapped up in the "Mens Rights" banner. If I get into ANY intellectual discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity, sexual assault, or other issues that concern me as a feminist, I am shot down, insulted, belittled, or compared to "male-bashers." Literally every place I go or discussion I get into is hijacked and rammed into a wall at mach speed by the MRA supporters. It doesn't matter that I actually agree with some of their complaints and try to talk to them about it. For instance, I see the "child custody" problem (where a female is more likely to be awarded custody than a male) as a perpetuation of the "male = breadwinner" and "female = caregiver" stereotypes. I agree with them that it is sexism against men, as it is also sexism against women, and that sexism hurts both men and women and should be abolished. But it doesn't matter - their unabashed misogyny leaks through and eventually they're bringing up absolutely anything not-anti-oppressive a random feminist-identified person says on the internet as if I, personally, am responsible for their words. I feel like there are no safe spaces left - virtually any feminist or LGBT topic, thread or sub-reddit - including this one - have been viciously attacked by /r/mensrights on numerous occasions, and it's as if I can't discuss any feminist or queer topics without getting triggered and/or threatened. The entire internet itself seems to be barreling down a conservative road and I don't feel welcome anymore. Things were bad in the past, but now it's as if we're being violently and relentlessly waged war upon. Be it a blog, a news article, reddit, or hell, in the latest incident involving me, a forum about the TV show My Little Pony. It's endless. I can't ignore it, but if I pay it any attention... ugh. So... how do you do it? How do you survive in this perpetually toxic environment? I almost want to write the entire thing off and become a luddite at this rate... that doesn't even sound half bad.

Per Turbo Tax, my spouse and I are not getting the child dependency exemption, child tax credit, or anything for interest paid on our mortgage ($9500) or child dependent daycare ($9000). If I understand it correctly, the child dependency exemption should be $3750 and the child tax credit is $1000. I believe we do not qualify for the child tax credit as our AGI is over a certain amount, I believe $115,000. However, shouldn't we still get the dependency exemption and credit for our mortgage interest and daycare expenses?

Married for 7 years, and I want to change many things in my current life.

Hi, I'm 30/m and got married at 22 with a wonderful woman that's a little older than me (36 currently). We have had IMO a beautiful marriage through this years but lately I've realized my energy and motivation in life have dropped dramatically. I don't laugh very often anymore and feel bored or without energy to make things most of the time. I feel that I want to make new things that bring back the excitement to my life, and that we both start to make different activities independently if we don't share interests in them (for example I love camping but she doesn't, I like to dance but she doesn't). My wife has a much more serious character and says she doesn't miss anything in life, and also, I've broken her trust in me because I told her that our house building project is not my top priority anymore after 5 years planning and saving money together towards it. :( Now I really feel that I want to drop my current job, live somewhere else, and drop our shared dreams and start again, and if my wife doesn't share my vision now, finish our relationship too. But is too hard to let so many things go at once, and break so many links between us. I feel scared, ashamed, even depressed. If I try to keep my current life and goals I'm afraid I will be frustrated with my life in the future. And if I take the jump and make drastic changes, I could loss the most important person in my life and feel remorse forever for breaking her heart and trust in me. I still love her, and we've talked a lot about it, but it seems she doesn't want to open more her mind too much and is mostly waiting for me to return to my old path. And she also says she doesn't want to start a house building project again anytime soon because now she can't trust in my will and my word. I feel guilty too because my wife has taken additional work to earn a bit more money for the house, and if we drop the project she still will have to honor her contract for two more years without the motivation that led her to take it in the first place. She says that I was the only person who had her trust and she won't trust in anyone else in the future because of this. I feel like something precious between us have been broken because of my doubts and confusion :(. Do you have any useful advice for my current situation? Thanks. **TL;DR** I want to change things in my life to bring back excitement and energy. My wife says she has been really happy and doesn't miss anything, and is very disappointed because of my doubts and change of vision. Not sure if I must continue with my current path or take the risk to lose her and make the changes I feel I need.

I'm an android game developer, and today I received this email asking for support [First]

So, I built a game for android about a year ago, and it did moderately well (it's called Cubes if you are curious). Activity on it has kind of flattened out into a steady plateau, but every once in a while I get an email sending praise or asking for support. Either way, most emails are one or two liners, half of which I am barely able to interpret. Last night, however, I received the strangest one of them all. Here is an email from "Handlebar Henry," the victim of high score robbery: ----- Hi, I've tried to write regarding some problems I've had with the Cubes Pro game. For the record..I am THE record holder on THREE of the games..but in reality I am actually holder (or should be) of FIVE of the games. Many times i've made high scores only to not get the posted. Today I had two high scores on two games that were NOT posted and I think there should be some way of getting these posted. After all..I did EARN the right to the high scores..and I did try to contact your company. My emails were rejected..so I assume you are having server issues. Anyway..I can take a photo on the two games in question and perhaps you can post them. I think this is very fair..as I mentioned..I did earn these scores ..and btw they are substantially higher than the records. I hope to hear from you..I looked up the "whois" and that's why you are getting this letter. In addtion..I own a lot of domains as well..about 147. Some are ones that you might find even more amazing that my scores. And if you don't write back...we'll..hopefully we'll hear from you soon. After all..what's even more amazing that my owning a number of these records is the fact that I am 59 1/2 years old. All for the moment..hope to hear from you. Thanks. Handlebar Henry ----- I found the email quite amusing. I didn't know where to start. I had so many questions! 1) Why does he call himself "Handlebar Henry"? 2) Why did he contact me using my WHOIS information, instead of the convenient contact method provided by the android market? 3) What does his 147 domains have to do with anything, was that a threat? Anyway, my partner googled his email, and found this marvelous site: Turns out, Handlebar Henry is a man renowned for his magnificent stache. He was even featured on the tonight show with Jay Leno, twice! Needless to say, I felt compelled to oblige my celebrity fan. I asked him to send screens of his accomplishments, and I agreed to manually submit his high scores forthwith. EDIT: Formatting.

Teenage crisis: My friends drink. I don't. Gradually being left out of everything. What do?

I'm a senior highschool. My friends are beginning to drink. I have no interest in drinking and I feel very uncomfortable when the people around me do. It's becoming the only social activity they engage in outside of school, and because I don't to go the parties where they drink, I'm being left out of the few non-drinking events. It's becoming totally unavoidable if I want to continue being friends with these people. I really can't make new friends at this point because my time is dominated by the bands, orchestra and choir with my current friends. How do I avoid alcohol without becoming entirely alone?

I am a Catholic that believes in the electron. (Really long rant)

At one time people who said they were atheists would get weird stares or would be confronted people and asked why they had no faith. More and more it seems like atheism is the norm, and those who practice religion get the stares and questioned. First let me explain a little about me. I was born and raised Catholic. I was baptized and communed but never confirmed. I never go to church anymore, save for funerals, weddings, and the occasional Easter Sunday mass. I've had premarital sex. I don't honor the Sabbath. I covet my neighbors wife. And I regularly take the lords name in vain. But I still call myself a Catholic. Now, on both Reddit and Facebook I always see people making statements of anti-religious sentiment. Now I can completely understand being against religion extremism, or corruption of organized religion, but to look down on a group of people because because they believe or identify with something. Something that particularly caught my eye today was a post with this picture ( and the thing that really stood out was the line "If you propose the existence of something, you must follow the scientific method in your defense of its existence." The thing I think a lot of people fail to realize is that there is much in science that we haven't observed. For instance, until a few years ago we had no way to actually prove Einsteins theory of relativity ( because the technology just did not exist to do so. But it was widely accepted as truth. The same goes for electrons. We still have yet to actually "observe" an electron. All we have are a set of patterns and models for which the world works with relation to sub atomic particles called electrons. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely believe in the existence in electrons. As an electrical engineering major who has studied both quantum physics and electromagnetism my whole major relies on the existence of electrons. But I also realize that all my knowledge is based upon what a bunch of scientists observed and then later wrote about in books. Isn't that exactly what religion is? People said they saw an angel or that a voice in the sky spoke to them, and they wrote about their experiences in a book. And just like very few students have repeated the same experiments that Rutherfords, Faraday, Maxwell, or Henry have, only a few people have said to have heard God speak to them. tl;dr Judging people is bad no matter how you slice it.

Our manager tells us that we have to keep reusing these kinds of hair nets -> is that hygenic? I work around food.

I think I've been running wrong all of my life?

So I was running today (at the gym, ugh gag me with a spoon), and I was just doing a fun run (run for a mile, walk 1/4, run for a mile, walk 1/4, etc). All of sudden I decided to bend my knees down a little and get off my toes (it feels almost like I'm squatting- I'm an inch lower to the ground), and then WABAM I could run so much faster with so much less energy. My pace smoothed out and I upped my speed! So basically I think I need to change my form, and I realized that I might have been running wrong my entire life? Anyone know anything about proper running form?

Chrome stopped saving favicons when I add new bookmarks?

To fit as many on my bookmarks bar as possible, I delete the title text whenever saving new ones. This makes it so I only see favicons; I know a bunch of other people do this. Recently, though, whenever I save bookmarks, the favicon is now always saved as the default earth silhouette, regardless of the actual site or where it's saved ("other bookmarks" folder, etc). I don't know what may have caused this to happen; is there any way to fix it? It's... kinda annoying.

How do the D&D worlds fit together?

Some (like Dark Sun) are obviously completely separate from the Core World, but how do Eberron, Forgotten Realms, and any others fit together? Is there travel between worlds? How? Are there any other worlds that I have forgotten about? My family has been playing in Nentir Vale, which I know includes Neverwinter and Hammerfast, but what is outside Nentir Vale? I know that a DM can make up anything they want to answer the question, but I was wondering if there is an "official" answer.

[Advice] - Looking for a Vegas place to watch a football game

Looking for a place to watch the Nebraska game on Sept. 1st. I know, it's Vegas, there's a thousand places to do it. I looked online and found that there's an "official" bar to watch it at (Nikki Lee's Sports Bar), but everything I've read about it says it gets to be a nightmare on game days with shoulder-to-shoulder standing room only. May sound a little "old fart"-ish in nature, but I'm just trying to find a (relatively) place to watch the game with 6-7 people. Somewhere where we'll actually be able to hear/see the game, get a table, and order some food/drinks while we watch. Preferably not a place that will have a hojillion people there. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

What does everyone think about unschooling?

I realize in a free society, education would be offered by those with a comparative advantage. Outsourcing education is not inherently flawed, but rather the state-controlled system we have now is lacking any real incentives or imagination. Given this scenario, what are your thoughts on unschooling? Defined as: >a range of educational philosophies and practices centered on allowing children to learn through their natural life experiences, including play, game play, household responsibilities, work experience, and social interaction, rather than through a more traditional school curriculum. I was discussing this with my mother the other day (a pediatrician for what it's worth), and I mentioned the possibility of this if and when I have kids. An interesting discussion between Stefan Molyneux and David Friedman. Milton Friedman raised David in a similar manner. I think education and how we treat our children is vital to how we build a free and peaceful society. With Unschooling kids learn what interests them. In a recent case for me I wanted to learn java, I busted out a book and youtube and spent hours learning as much as I could. It was 4 A.M. and I was watching Java videos and making cash register programs because it was *what I wanted to learn*, not some top-down one size fits all curriculum. edit: Just an interesting FYI David Friedman plays World of Warcraft.
