My mom is sleep talking right now in the room next to me, and all I heard was "don't kill me...$%#6 you die first" Should I wake her up? | I am sitting in my room and watching this Thai horror movie and all the sudden I heard my mom sleep talking and she sounded nervous and scared, she was saying something jibberish most of the time, but I also heard something along the line like "don't kill me.....you die first"..I am kinda freaked out right now, should I wake her up or just continue to let her sleep like this? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Steam (and games) on external hard drive, I'm having lag / freezing issues, help? | Hello,
My boyfriend has his steam app and all the games on external hard drive because his main hard drive doesnt have enough space for all his games. However we've been noticing freezing/hiccups during various games such as borderlands and spore. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix the issue?
Note we've already tried updating the graphics driver and turning the graphics settings for the games way down, but it doesn't help. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Is anyone else kind of disappointed overall with the Spring Arena? | Don't get me wrong. There were some amazing games. And the 2v2s were a lot of fun and as always most of the casting was top notch. Even JP has shown a little improvement. But all that being said, I think the small player pool and the round robin format made the gameplay a little stale by the end of the weekend. Again, there were a few amazing games, but by the time the finals came around I felt like I had seen these guys play so many games that the series was not intriguing at all apart from the rematch factor. Am I alone in this? Am I jaded already and being too picky? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Best round versus ceiling fan? | Yep. Title just about says all.
Long story short, we've got two non-functional ceiling fans in the garage and I want to vent some well deserved home improvement frustration on them. Any advice on minimal distance for shooting these would be nice as well as I think my wife-to-be isn't exactly an expert marksman.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 O-O 8.h3 {Standard Spanish Game stuff. Danny said he wanted to avoid the marshall attack, which is why he played 8. h3. The Marshall Attack goes 8.c3 d5 9.exd5 Nxd5 10.Nxe5 Nxe5 11.Rxe5 c6} d6 9.c3 Na5 10.Bc2 c5
11.d3 Bb7 12.Nbd2 Qc7 13.Nf1 Rfe8 14.Ng3 Bf8 15.Bg5 Nd7 16.d4 {The first semi-significant mistake of the game. Better was 16.Nf5, 16.a3, or 16.Bd2. The game continuation allows black to equalize, or even have a slight edge} exd4 17.cxd4 g6 18.Rc1 Bg7 19.Bf4 {Interestingly, in post-game analysis, Danny claimed Bf4 was a poor move which contributed to his loss, however Stockfish rates it as one of the best moves available} cxd4 20.Nxd4 Qb6
21.Ndf5 {This knight-sac is practically forced. If 21.Nge2 then Bxe4. If 21.Nf3 then Bxb2. If 21.Be3 then Nc4, with black being a pawn up in all lines. His only other choice was Ngf5, which ends up being exactly the same line as the game continuation} gxf5 22.Nxf5 Ne5 23.Be3 {Better was simply 23.b3, preventing Nc4 and Bxb2} Qd8 24.f4 Ng6 25.Nxd6 {Here Danny should have taken on g7, which would have avoided the following trades. I think He mentioned that he simply overlooked Bxb2} Bxb2 26.Nxe8 Bxc1 {Now the score is roughly -2.00, with Danny having lost all of his compensation for the lost knight} 27.Bxc1 Qxe8 28.Qg4 Qc8 29.Qe2 Nc4 30.e5 Qc5+
31.Kh2 Re8 32.h4 {A bit of a desperation move. This moves drops the score to roughly -3.50 following the game continuation. Also, the world team strongly considered playing 32...Ncxe5, which is only very slightly worse (at -3.00) than the game continuation. The idea is to take away Danny's center activity by counter-sacrificing a knight for the two pawns. Black could have later traded the rook for the bishop pair following ideal play, so it would have only been a temporary sacrifice. The votes were very close, but in the end Nxh4 won. For the curious, the alternative line goes like this: 32...Ncxe5 33.fxe5 Rxe5 34. Be3 Qc7 35.Kh1 Rxe3 36.Qxe3 Qxc2} Nxh4 33.Qg4+ Ng6 34.e6 Qe7 35.f5 Qh4+ {The only winning move for black} 36.Qxh4 Nxh4 37.Bg5 Nxg2 38.Re2 fxe6 39.f6 Kf7 0-1 {In the final position, white resigned because if 40.Bxh7 Rh8 winning the bishop, if 40.Rxg2 Bxg2 41.Kxg2 Rg8 winning the dark squared bishop.}

Dog food recall debate, is this company responsible or irresponsible? | So we use "Diamond" brand dog food for our 2 pitbulls. They offer a lamb/ rice combo that suits one of the dogs allergies to chicken. Diamond has recalled specific batches of their product (turns out its never the batches we posses) about 3 times in the 1.5 years we've used their product.
My girlfriend mentioned we should "find another brand to buy" because of these multiple recalls. I pointed out that the company might be worth staying loyal to BECAUSE of these recalls. Her logic is they are continually making mistakes while my logic is every company must be making mistakes but this brand seems to cop to it fairly quickly.
Which line of reasoning is more valid? Should we switch and try to find a brand that doesn't have a history of recalls? Can anyone suggest a brand with a safer track record? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Looking for PvP Sorc Healing Tips | I always finish PvP matches with my lvl 50 sorc healer (full BM not augmented) with the highest death count. Typically I have enough time to get to the nearest skirmish, put out three or four good heals, and then I'm focused down in 4 seconds or less. Have any of you found some good strategies to stay alive long enough to be useful in PvP? I know that I should always have the static barrier on myself, but this doesn't seem to do more than add about a second to each life. I want PvP healing to be fun, but it's become stressful because of this. Thanks for your input :) | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Exalted ST question: A player wants to play a Sidereal in a Solar/Lunar game | I'll keep the explanation short.
I'm going to be running an Exalted game in Nexus. I asked players to create Solar or Lunar characters with standard rules and 2.5 errata. Eight players have joined and have all made Solars. This is a forum PBP game and we haven't started playing yet as we're waiting for the site admins to build our forum for the game.
During our wait, I've had a player send me a private message asking to play a Sidereal. His reasoning was that there are already seven other Solars and he could play the driving force behind their destinies.
I like the idea. A lot. In fact, I was going to start the game with a Sidereal who brings them together and proposes his help if they work together to achieve the goal of saving Creation (a goal they all seem to share).
But, then I began to wonder if the other players would be upset about my letting this player step out of bounds. They never had the option to play anything other than a Solar or Lunar.
I'm posting here to get third party opinions. Should I let him play a Sidereal? If so, should I talk with the group before I say yes? Or should I just say So-and-so is now playing a Sidereal?
You guys have a bunch of great experience that I'd like to draw on. Thoughts? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Random queue Captain's Mode... thoughts? | Just a quick question that I'm interested in hearing people's opinions on. Basically my team and I have been trying to practice together but don't feel confident enough to do real scrims, so we queue as five into the Captain's Mode queue. It really feels like the vast majority of games we get involve the other team being random people placed together, who then cry when they see a "five stack" and then refuse to draft seriously. It almost invariably ends with one or two people on the enemy team rage quitting and ruining the game, wasting at least half an hour of everyone else's time.
So what does everyone think? I keep telling people that they shouldn't be surprised to see a five-stack when they queue Captain's Mode, but I'm interested in hearing other opinions. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Strap on recommendations(Xpost from r/sex, I was told to come here) | Hey reddit, so my girlfriend and I are looking for a good strap on, I am MtF trans so it's going to be used anally if that makes any difference on what is best. We bought a cheap $40 dollar one and it's so bad it doesn't even work, the dildo that came with it wont even stay connected to the harness for more than a few thrusts because the O ring stretches to too big a size.
My wants are:
* Smooth texture
* Not too big or too small, decent width and 5-7 inches
* Wont fall out of the freaking harness
* Reasonable price, nothing too extravagant
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

XPost from r/Bicycling: Opinions on the Novara Divano? | Hey guys, this didn't do so well in r/bicycling, so when I saw this subreddit I figured I'd give it a try!
I'm pretty new to the sport and I'm looking to buy an entry-level endurance/comfort style road bike. I just found a Craigslist ad for a 2011 Novara Divano that seems like a steal - $350 for a bike that retails around $700. Does anyone have any experience with this bike or anything else from Novaro? I've never heard of them, but the components seem decent.
For reference, I'm a 5'7" female who's looking to do commuting and maybe some long-distance rides and want a bike that's versatile and light.
Thanks in advance!

Affordable reversible/adjustable seat post? I'd really like to move my seat further forward. | I was hoping I could flip my existing seat post around, but unless I'm missing something you can't adjust the angle of the saddle enough to compensate. I've got a LeMond Buenos Aires road bike that I'm trying to adapt to triathlon usage as much as possible. Ideally I'd like a tri-specific bike but I'll likely have to make do with what I have for a few years.
I've added t2+ aerobars, flipped the stem and removed the spacer, and I think I've just about got the fit dialed in except for the seat, which is already as far forward as it goes. I've got a Fizik Arione Tri2 saddle on the way that may help (longer rails), but I doubt it will solve the problem.
I'm not worried about carbon fiber or anything fancy. Just something that will get the saddle where it needs to be and be fairly reliable. Also I still don't know much about bikes. As I'm shopping do I need to be careful to look for anything other than the diameter of the seat post? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Charcoal GIVES me diarrhea? | Ive heard that charcoal pills and charcoal cooked food help remedy frequent diarrhea but for some reason whenever I eat food that is cooked on charcoal, smoked or wood-fired I get the worst stomach pains and diarrhea of my life, its extremely painful and will leave me in the bathroom for hours and in bed for the rest of the day. I know that charcoal has gluten in it but Ive been tested and I for sure don't have an allergy to gluten. Is there any way I can actually enjoy charcoal cooked food without dying?
Tl;dr: charcoal cooked food gives me the most painful diarrhea on the planet, is there a reason I have this allergy? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Setting up an agency in the UK - need some advice on good hosting packages... | Hi there,
I'll be going live as a new agency next week ( sneak preview of unfinished site over here: )
I'll be offering development and seo services primarily (just left a big agency where I was the senior digital marketing consultant).
My current shared hosting at hostpapa isn't going to cut the mustard though - so I was hoping for some advice....
What I'll be doing:
Sites will either be Magento for e-commerce, or Joomla 2.5, Drupal or Wordpress for anything else.
Primary consideration is speed. My current hosting is shared and slow - not much good when site speed is part of google's ranking algorithm!
Secondary is cost - don't have a great budget to start out with, but obviously will expect to cover costs via reselling hosting.
Which leads to - package type - I assume a reseller package is the obvious choice here, and given the speed priority, probably a dedicated server?
Any input and links to potential deals or offers would be most welcome!
Many thanks,
Mark. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Could the community of Reddit help govern the world? | The Reddit community has lawyers/solicitors, doctors, AMA's of people of influence in the world (writers, men/women of science, television personalities, ect) that could give their voice to our causes.

What is stopping us, as a real community, stading up and upvoting the people that could help us all get the world in to a better understanding place.

Anyone still interested in HCFCity? | After the betrayal of several people I was getting together to help build HCFCity (since it was the start, I was keeping them near some friendlies, but was going to have them form new factions to start the city proper) and the fact that Platypus has left the trading business and Sukorar doesn't seem to know what economic project he wants to work on next I really am not sure if there's any point in creating HCFCity anymore.
The original goal was simply to create an area so that economic (or helper factions if you wanna count my attempt with HCFUni) factions like Platypus and Casino could all be based close together and easily accessible. Why? Well first, THE's wall around Platypus and other hijinks made it so there were points in time when you basically had to pearl to get to platypus which was ridiculous. Secondly, there was plenty of time during which Platypus had nobody online and if there were other factions which could be next door and compete, then city could function more like spawn with more or less 24/7 buying and selling. Last, but not least, I think there's some interesting potential for more economic and helper factions akin to Platypus and Casino and Bank.
So, do you guys think there's any point to doing this anymore? Is anyone still interested in helping build and set things up and actually live there and run economic/helper factions? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I have $450 credit towards a suit at Mens Wearhouse - how can I make it work? | Long story short, due to bringing them a decent amount of business with guys in my wedding, I either had a free tux rental or $450 credit towards a new suit. I lost about 30 lbs after getting my last suit, so it looks like MC Hammer pants and a clown sized jacket on me. I paid for the rental and took the credit.
Now comes the time to use it. Does Mens Wearhouse carry something that MFA is fond of? I've been lurking here for a while and have made subtle improvements here and there to my wardrobe, but I'm still kind of a newbie when it comes to getting a suit (even after reading).
For specifics, I'm a big guy. I'm 6'6" and about 260 lbs. Probably around an average build, though my legs are pretty thick, in my opinion... probably from years of soccer and squats.
This would be my only suit (for now). Interviews, weddings, funerals, etc. Could I get away with a navy blue suit? I have blue eyes, if that does anything for you. I'm used to wearing black suits, though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if there's something else I could include in the post. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Does anyone take commissions? I need bodices for two bridesmaids.. | Hi all,
I recently found a seller on etsy who makes beautiful ballet-style bodices. Unfortunately, she doesn't want to do a custom duo for my two bridesmaids...but she is out of the size I need for my small asian friend, and the ones in her shop are not the color I wanted (they are grey, I was hoping for a champagne color.)
Images are below. If anyone would like to know the name of the seller, I am happy to provide. She is a talented artist and deserves your business!

[PSA] A new backpack viewer/pricelist | The site is called Backpack.tf. What it does is a user suggested price list. This insures invalid price manipulation by the Staff and allows for up to date prices. but the most important part is that if you insert a profile link into the top bar it will show the person's profile using backpack.tf. The person's Backpack.tf profile will show their Steamrep status, Trade Status, VAC status and Steam Community Status. It also total values the person's backpack and shows their value in refined, U.S dollars and # of items in backpack. Also it links to their Tf2Outpost, tf2tp and tf2 bazaar profiles.

6 months, and it just got scary. | So, highs and lows this week. The high is 6 months with no slip ups. But the low is that this milestone has made me realise something: This is forever. It feels like playing WoW, where every level up just gets harder and harder. I've been quite focused on the numbers, counting weeks and months, but this 6 month mark has made me realise that to even reach 1 year I have to do this all over again. All the tough times in the last 6 long months... I have to repeat all that just to reach one measly year. And once I've reached a year, I have to do that again and again and again. I can't believe how hard it just got mentally all because of an arbitrary milestone.

Totally sick of assholes on reddit! They are stealing
my entertainment! | I am tired of running across condescending assholes. I am forgiving of smart people that are condescending because they have a reason to be, but I recently had a reply from a total idiot who has no idea what they are talking about but thinks they do. They said words, but they didn't say anything. I totally hate idiots like them! I try to have insightful discussions and say helpful things, then other people want to condescend from a position more empty than air. What the hell! I am not a bitch so I don't say anything to them, but I definitely need to rant about them! Does anyone else get sick of idiots on reddit? If any idiots reply to this I will delete it. I have no tolerance for trolls. This is a serious post. Someone please help me out here. What do you do when you have people like that reply to you? Personally, I rant about how they are ruining the entire reddit experience for everyone. Why can't people just be decent!! God!!

I have two keto food questions, tried search and still a little confused. | 1. any good alternatives to peanut butter?? I saw some almond butter at target that seemed close to keto. Anyone tried anything like this?? i'd hate to buy a whole container and not like it. Any feedback welcome. Im talking a spoonful here and there as a snack, as i miss peanut butter.
2. Salad dressing is another, I'll explain. For this question i'll say "SD" for salad dressing. I like a small salad either everyday or every other day. I understand that on keto full fat it the best but its very high is calories. Now I use the "MFP" app to track my calories also. I have been doing fairly strict keto, (20 or less carbs) and have been getting great results. Is it still ok to use the low-fat versions of the "SD"?? I really dont notice to much difference in taste, and then use the calories saved for a snack later in the day like almonds?? Since on keto, I've been eating between 1200-to 1800 calories a day and averaging around 1500-1600. I feel great, and have no hunger probs on this calorie intake, so am i being to worried over nothing?? Are there hidden issues with low fat SD's ??? This one really confuses me. Thanks for the input everyone. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Voices in my Head after I reset | I reset again- but there's something I found strange/interesting/worrying.
I've been trying to fall asleep, but there are voices. I realized tonight that they only happen in the moments after I give in.
I can't actually *hear* them, but it's like hearing, if it only occurred inside your head. It's like there are thoughts in my head being spoken that I can't silence or control.
It's actually managed to keep me up all night in the past. It's not a terrifying experience by any means, though it is a bit unnerving.
Have any of you experienced this? (PMO followed by voices as you tried to fall asleep) | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Served an Eviction summons without landlord providing Notice to Quit. | Hey Reddit --
A little predicament here. Today I was served a summons for an eviction hearing, and attached to the documents is a copy of a notice to quit allegedly filed on 12.28.11.
I am aware that this is the first step in eviction proceedings, as this is not the first time our landlord attempted to begin eviction proceedings, but never brought about a court date. We've rented from him for 5.5 years at this point.
This time, however, my wife and I never received this claimed notice to quit, yet he certifies on the court document that he both filed it on that day with the court AND states that he delivered it to us.
I found it suspicious that there was no mention of this in any communication before or since... I only communicate to him through emails (which I've archived every single one) because he's belligerent on the phone AND I've downloaded and saved any recent voicemails he's left for me (thank you Vonage). The past two times he's given us notices to quit (12/2008, 6/2010) he made it quite clear that we were getting them, this time not even a word..
Should I be concerned? Is there still a chance we can be evicted despite not going through the proper channels, (but claiming he did) Or is it likely that this will be dismissed because it's not legit?

Tired of feeling like a beginner | I've been playing guitar for years, though I have stopped playing for months and even close to a year at a time. Recently I made a commitment to play more regularly to improve my playing, but I feel like an endless beginner.
I'm convinced that I have the finger skills to be a good guitarist, I can strum and pick, I can fingerpick, change chords, hammer on, pull off, tap, and so on. I know the major and minor chords, I know a little bit of theory, I can play a dozen or so songs and a couple simple leads and solos. But I don't know how to move beyond that. I want to be more confident in my playing, and know that I can really do it. So my question is, how do I? Should I go looking for a guitar teacher, or are there things that I can focus on to improve my playing and my understanding of the guitar?
tl;dr: I'm tired of feeling like a beginner at the guitar, how do I move forward? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What's a girl's equivalent for video games? | Really, I can't think of it, and maybe just wanna know for a possible "just-in-case" activity. Guys seem to very reliably have games that can pass A LOT of their hours. Maybe not the best tool but something hugely distracting and handy in times of extreme loneliness, depression, etc. Or for fun, for days of boredom, that can be conversation topic with at least someone out there.
And yeah, girls "have" them too, but not (very generally) with the same passion. My only very-generalized, stereotype substitutes for girls are soap operas, but that doesn't feel quite the same. Also, not dissing video games or boys who play them. Boys are good whether or not they play 'em, and to almost whatever extent.
And--I'm also not asking while feeling jilted, bitter, or replaced by anyone's long game-playing spree. If anything, it's asking out of jealousy.
I just wanna know...what do girls "have" to some similar degree for extensive hours of distraction in times of boredom/loneliness/depression? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

My husband and I want a dog...but we're never home. What would you do? | My husband both commute 30 minutes to an hour in the mornings and evenings, so on Mondays - Fridays we're out of the house from 7 am - 6 pm. We're usually out of the house all day on Saturdays. We both think that it would be nice to have a dog, but with dogs being such social animals, he/she would be lonely all the time. Even if we got 2 dogs, we're not sure how it would turn out.
We were ok with this reasoning, until recently a friend who works with rescue groups talked to us about adopting a dog, saying that being alive but alone in our house was better than being dead after a long shelter visit. Now, we don't know what to do. What do you think, Redditors? Or are there alternatives we're not thinking of?
NOTE: We're not able to board a dog at doggie day-care 5 days a week, so that option's not available.
EDIT: Thanks for the responses so far. They confirm our original thinking, that we're just not home enough to keep pets. We do love animals, though, and I hope that our friends who have the time are able to adopt and help rescue new family members. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

If I am unable to provide this information, is it legal for the background-check company to ask my former employer for this information instead?

“Fatal RPython error: AssertionError” in pypy | Hi guys. I am an MS Industrial & Systems Engineering student and am using Python + numpy to code an Ant Colony Optimization algorithm for the Quadratic Assignment Problem.
Numeric computing like this is extremely CPU-intensive and so I am trying to use pypy to greatly speed up the testing process. I have removed references to all numpy functions that are not supported with pypy but I am still receiving an error when trying to run the code. The error is as follows:

Is it possible to buy a huge company off of someone when you yourself have barely any money at all? | Well let me start that when i say "huge" i don't mean At&t, apple, colgate, and so on. There's a company that's been around for about 40 years, money income is pretty high.
My dad is technically a Boss to a section of the company, It goes the boss, and then branches into 2 sections, one which my dad is the boss of now, and one where the boss' son owns.
However, my dad needs this job for the money since we are incredibly broke, but we always have the fear of the boss dying. he's gotten ill before and shutdown the entire company, and it wouldn't be good if that was to happen again. And most likely the company would be given to his son, who hates the company and would most likely get rid of it by just shutting it down.
Is there anyway for my dad to be able to buy off this company from a the boss even though we don't have nearly as much money as needed to buy it? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Why does creative mode STILL lack time/weather control? | Seriously, it's been how long since creative mode was added, and we still don't have time or weather control?
I remember in one of the pre-releases, F6 and F7 (Or was it F7 and F8) acted as smooth time control (It didn't go up by a fixed interval, but rotated smoothly). Why was that removed?
And weather control, both being able to start/stop rain/snow as well as thunderstorms would be very convenient.
And before anyone says "There's mods that can do that," I know there's mods for it. And I use said mods.

The second guy behind the counter told me that it was supposed to be released tomorrow (July 12th), but a pending lawsuit between Samsung & Google is pushing the release back. I was just as surprised as you probably are so I asked if he meant Apple vs. Samsung/Google and he said "no Samsung sued Google".

Range Report: Marlin XT-22 | Manufacturer: Marlin Firearms
Model: XT-22
Caliber: .22
Action: Bolt
Magazine Capacity: 7 Rounds
Barrel: 22" Micro-Groove
Weight: 6 lbs.
Trigger Pull: Didn't measure myself, but I've read it's around 3.5 lbs. on the lowest setting.
Price: $199 at Cabelas
First a little background. I've only been interested in firearms for about a year and in that time have only been to the range about 12 times. Up to this point I've owned a Winchester model 1906 and an SKS, the XT-22 was my first new firearm purchase. My shooting experience has been mostly .22 rifles that were produced before 1980.
I decided to purchase the XT-22 because I heard good things about its accuracy, I didn’t want to spend much money, and I wanted a rifle with a wood stock. I was also considering a Savage MKII G, but none of the stores in my area carried them. I also didn't like the look of the curved magazine in the Savage. I purchased this rifle at Cabelas, but they don't seem to care about selling this model. They didn’t have any on display and they couldn’t find the rifle in their inventory system until I gave them the SKU I got from their website.
Build Quality - I've heard some bad things about newer production Marlin firearms, so I made sure to inspect multiple rifles before deciding which one I would take home. Cabelas had two in stock, both still boxed. One rifle had slightly lighter finish on one side of the stock and a stiff bolt, the clerk tried to tell me it was normal, it was not. The other rifle seemed perfect in every way. I'm not sure if this is par for the course at this point, or if the less than perfect rifle had been there for a while and been passed over multiple times. Either way, if you are going to buy a new Marlin I would do it in person so you can inspect the rifle.
Ergonomics - I have longer arms than some and the length of pull feels good to me. I wasn't sure if the higher comb of the monte carlo stock would allow me to get a comfortable cheek weld using the iron sights with my relatively bulky hearing protection on, but it was not a problem. I threw a red dot on it for a bit and was able to get a good cheek weld with that also.
Accuracy/Reliability - The rifle is more accurate than I am. I was shooting bulk ammo, Remington Thunderbolt and some CCI Blazer. The rifle seemed to like both brands, and I could not tell a difference in accuracy between the two. The rifle fired and ejected every round I fed it without a problem. I'm not a fan of loading the 7 round magazine, the spring is extremely stiff and it was a pain to load more than 5 rounds. After putting a few magazines through the rifle I started loading one round at a time.
Features - The best feature of this rifle is the Pro-Fire adjustable trigger. If you're familiar with the Savage Accu-Trigger, it's the same thing. The trigger has no creep and breaks very cleanly, it's the best/lightest trigger I've used up to this point. I also appreciated the location and operation of the safety, it flips forward to fire and it's easy to operate with your thumb.
Sights - Nothing special, a ramped front screwed into the barrel and a notched rear in a dovetail. They worked ok for me, but I'll probably replace them with a set of fiber optic sights.
Results - In the attached album you'll see my targets at 25 and 50 yards. I shot from a bench using the stock iron sights and a front support. I was using bulk Remington Thunderbolt ammo, there was almost no wind. I'm not a great shot, I'm assuming with a better shooter and a scope/better sights the rifle would be more accurate. If you want a wood stocked bolt action .22 I think the XT-22 is a good deal.

[TOMT][music video] 80's Strung-out, rich-bitch makes her own shitty-production-values music videos | First off, let me begin by saying that I hesitate to even include the type of media as "music video," because this was more like the butt of an internet joke.
Some chick from the 1980's made a series of her own music videos. They were shitty, but not homemade VHS shitty. Some hint of production went into them. This chick had absolutely no talent and looked like she was strung out on muscle relaxers the whole time. Kind of a classic 80's yuppie strung-out as opposed to a total junkie. IIRC, she recorded her own original tracks, but I'm not 100% sure of that. She was not famous and she probably wasn't on MTV.
I think I remember reading somewhere that her family had money so all this chick did was star in her own music videos. And they're hilariously awful because she has absolutely no talent.
The videos themselves were circulated on the internet maybe 2003/04 because they sucked. I think someone just dug up these piece-of-crap music videos that this chick made back in the 80's and posted them somewhere (Youtube? Well, I think it was before the dawn of Youtube).
Does anyone recognize this?

**EDIT: I chose to go to a gunsmith, which turns out to be a good thing. I got the Williams FireSight and the rear sight did not fit really snug like it should.

Argument against "straights don't wave around a bunch of straight-pride flags" | Anytime someone tells me this when talking about pride flags I have no idea how to respond and it makes me feel bad :( What do people think about it? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Soda Popinski is shitting upon me once again... | Today I bought Punch Out to relive this awesome game. Another thing I'm reliving is my tendency of getting rofl stomped by Soda Popinski. Does anyone else have a problem with this particular boxer or am I just hyping him up in my mind? There seems to be a very different timing with him because every time I try to dodge I get smacked in the face. I have little to no problem with everyone before him though. I think I've only ever gotten past him once or twice before. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Rough day at work so I ate lunch in my car. Reddit, what lengths have you gone to just to have some privacy? | Mine isn't at all extreme, but while I was listening to the radio and eating I thought about how weird it was that I escaped to my car (I'm usually a really social person, but some days at work I just want to get away and have some time to myself).
So, what lengths have you gone to in order to gain some privacy for yourself, whether at work, school or home. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Starting a new indie community for mobile apps. Looking for reddit's thoughts on this. | Sick of the difficulties and games needed to get visibility on our iOS apps, I decided to start a review community that targets specifically indie apps. Reviews for high-grossing apps will not be accepted, only lesser known apps that are also high quality and valuable for users. What does reddit think of this idea? I'm trying to measure interest by using e-mail signups on the landing page. Anyone have any ideas for how to proceed? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I'm a sex addict, but I'm afraid without the sex, I'll be alone forever... | I struggle with substance abuse addictions, but I've been clean now for 20 months. In turn, my obsession with sex has sky rocketed. It's become my new "drug"...I obsess about it, it consumes my every thought, etc.
I know that if I don't deal with it, I'm never going to be in a healthy relationship b/c I lust for everyone...but I'm afraid that if I give up sex, no one will want me...But, to be honest, no one wants me now. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
What should I do with this $500 my crazy aunt gave me | I bumped into a relative of mine I rarely see and she randomly gave me 500 bucks.
It was pretty weird, we aren't close or anything but she seemed to think I would need it.
Now, I was going to save it for tuition or something, but what is something awesome I can do with this cash? Preferably fun and with no lasting damage. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Went to a presentation yesterday given by the Pittsburgh Paranormal Society. I was unimpressed. Need perspective. | I have to say I had higher expectations for this. The presentation was given at the Carnegie Free Library in Connellsville, PA.
I think the very first thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was that his opening statement was to be openly and casually dismissive of the TAPS team and their *Shost Hunters* show. Yes, I know it's a TV show. Yes, I know they need to sell viewers on content and therefore there's a lot of fabricated content. But the advice given and methodology used on the show is more or less consistent with what I've come to expect from paranormal enthusiasts and experts in the real world as well. And I would have gone with it had he given alternative explanations and methods to what's on the show. But he didn't. Besides, I consider it bad form to badmouth your colleagues in the field, even if they're on a popular TV show. So right away I'm a little uncertain about the guy.
I'll try to summarize the other things in bullet points:
- When advising people on equipment, he recommended a camera between 8 and 12 MP, and went out of his way to say anything higher than 12 MP would be "too high resolution" to capture anything. He gave no explanation to that statement, and it makes no sense to me.
- I asked a question about a person's potential hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields. He "answered" my question by immediately launching into a statement about how the high energy and emotional levels of children and teenagers will stir up spirit activity. This had absolutely nothing to do with my question.
- They made a big deal about how one of their members was "very well protected" but gave no explanation as to how, or what that even really meant.
The presentation got a little more interesting when the photographic evidence began to be shown. The photos were genuinely intriguing, but sadly their projector kept overheating and shutting off. They invited the audience to gather around the laptop screen to see, but really, by that time I was disengaged enough that I just decided to call it an afternoon and go home. For a group that initially touted their respect for scientific approaches, they were most decidedly unscientific about their delivery and their approach to not just their material, but the audiences questions as well.
I'm posting this here because I was to get the perspective of the larger community. Am I wrong to be this critical of what I saw? Are these points of view consistent with others?

Lost my ex-finacee in an accident a few months ago, need help | How do I get over losing my ex-finacee. Everything I've tried hasn't worked, I don't want to resort to drinking or anything destructive like that.
She was in an accident and passed a few months ago. I went through the mourning process, or so I thought. Began to grow numb and happy about some things in life again. But it just keeps coming back to me that she isn't coming back anymore. She became a part of who I am, I remember everything about her and miss it even more.
After awhile I tried going out with friends (they dragged me out at first), dating again, hasn't worked. When I'm out I just think about her.
I know this isn't healthy, especially long term. Nothing I've tried has worked, usually just makes things worse. Especially this last 1-2 weeks, I can't sleep, I'm never hungry | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Dolphins saving people, do we need to explain how this evolved? | I've heard it said that an animal that appeared designed just to serve as an armchair for humans would be a counterexample for evolution by natural selection. So when dolphins defend people or other cetaceans from sharks, isn't that something that should have been selected against?
I suppose this is an "evolution of altruism" question, but it seems tougher because dolphins don't have motivations like reputation and morality. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
SL 175, looking for pure moonlight stone, and pure bladestone. | Edit: I got the moonlight stone. Still need bladestone and dark moonlight. If anyone has, and is around my level, I would appreciate it.
Hey there! Looking to plat this game before I start dark souls, and I'm a few trophies away. I've been farming these things for days and not one drop, so I turn to you fine folk.
My PSN ID is the same as my Reddit one, TurboGFF - so if anyone has either of these two stones to spare, I would greatly appreciate it.
Edit: Forgot, I need pure darkmoonstone as well. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
