Has playing Dota 2 improved your skills in real life?

Has playing Dota 2 improved your real life skills in anyway? Such as better reactions or the ability to work with other with ease? Personally I've notice my reactions time have gotten a lot better. For example the other day I was putting away the dishes and a glass started to fall off the shelf. Without even thinking, I reached out and grabbed it. Usually I would of just watched it fall. Do you have any similar stories?

How interested would r/trees be in a DIY MFLB kit?

I know there are tons of Instructables, DIYs etc. on making your own MFLB, but most of the comments are about troubles locating the supplies or having to buy a large quantity and only needing a small amount of a few things. Would /trees be interested in a kit that included an instructional page and all of the parts necessary and ready (wood cut, etc) to piece together right out of the mailbox? If someone has anything to add to the idea, please feel free to give any constructive criticism. EDIT: Expanded idea.

Question Regarding Turtlebeach X12s

Hey r/gaming, I recently purchased a pair of turtlebeach x12 headphones, and I really like them. However, I just have one question that I hope someone could help me with. The turtlebeach x12 comes with a game volume dial and a chat volume dial. Is there a way to make the headset recognize programs such as vent as part of the chat category? Currently, the game volume dial controls everything, and the chat volume dial doesn't work for anything. Thanks!

The forgotten soldiers of The Boer War and Lord Strathcona's Horse

My brother and I were always fascinated with the Boer War. A large number of prairie boys (farmers and NWMP) went to fight the Boer War, bringing their own horses. Many of the horses died on the boat ride to Africa. And a fair number of Canadians died, mostly of diseases such as malaria and dysentery. It was a very odd war as it pitted the British against Dutch farmers in Africa. The Dutch fought guerilla warfare and the British didn't entirely know how to respond to this type of fighting. The Canadians, especially the NWMP, assisted in this regard as they were used to scouting on difficult terrain. Lord Strathcona's Horse for the Boer War. The regiment is still active in Edmonton. A few years back I wrote a song about the Canadian soldier's of the Boer War called A Land Another World Away. I thought it would be appropriate for posting today. In short, thanks to all the Canadian soldiers, past and present. Forgive my rambling. To me, it's just an interesting Canadian history that isn't well known here in Canada. MAJOR EDIT: As XPhazeX correctly stated, Lord Strathcona's Horse are not Canada's first cavalry, read a brief history of the Royal Canadian Dragoons. Forgive me for the error.

Does anyone know where Riddick Bowe is?

So I've been talking to a friend of mine, a 20+ year boxing vet by the name of Tracy Sneed]( Through his glory days as a boxer back in the 1990's, [Tracy had known Riddick during his days in Las Vegas, and was the man who helped him get his career back on track by setting up his first match since his second Andrew Golotta fight here in Oklahoma. Tracy told me that Bowe was the type of guy that would "fart while everyone else was around, and would think that was the funniest shit in the world." He also told me that his ex-wife was his biggest problem. Records show that he was arrested in 2001 for domestic abuse, but Tracy elaborated that his wife at the time was angry over not being able to have money (according to Tracy's anecdotes, Riddick's reasoning was "Why does she need money? All she has to do is just simply ask me for money."). The story goes that his wife started to shove around on him while outside of their home in February, and slipped on ice, causing bruises and cuts that she claimed was from Riddick dragging her. I asked Tracy where Riddick is at these days, and he's stated that "he's completely lost track of him, and he forgot his phone number." So, anyone have any good ideas where Riddick Bowe went off to? We're curious to see what he's been up to as of late.

Met a girl at this weekend at a wedding, and I am very intrigued by her. The problem is, we live quite a ways away. How should I go about courting her?

So this past weekend, I was at a wedding for one of my very good family friends(The groom). While there, one of my girl friends(from high school) introduced me to her very pretty roommate(college), who are friends of the bride. Later during the course of dinner my friend from high school comes over and not so subtly hints that her roommate is digging my vibe and thinks i'm good looking, and that we should talk, dance, and get to know each other. So naturally I follow up and we hit it off. We talked for a while, and then danced pretty much all night until the wedding was over. After the wedding, we hooked up and stayed up all night together. Now here is the small dilemma. Im taken aback by this girl, she is probably one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever met. So naturally, she lives about 9 hours away. (face-palm) The day after we texted all day about how we wish the timing and everything was better, as we would have each liked to see each other again. I would like to do this. I would like to take her on a proper date and actually get to meet and know her better. Ladies of Reddit, with the distance between us is this a hopeless endeavor and should I just resolve it to being a great memory, or is there an actual chance that I may be able to court her? And if so, how should I go about it? Edit: We both just graduated college are in our young 20's

Just got back from a camping trip and I feel worse

Hey Reddit, this is my first post ever and normally I'd wait to talk to my therapist, but my next meeting with her isn't for a month. I just got home from a 3 day camping trip, and I feel far worse than I did going into it. A little back story for you: I've been dealing with depression for over a decade, I'm a 23/yo guy. I originally was planning to go with a bunch of friends, but they changed plans to go to a rave (which isn't really my thing) so I decided to go alone. I wanted others to come with me, I asked a lot of people, but no one wanted to come. I went into it with the best intentions and mindset; sometimes I'd think I'd meet some new cool people or something and my luck would turn around. That didn't happen and every night I laid in my tent thinking how alone I was and how I never should have bothered with the trip. I went on some great hikes but every one was riddled with thoughts of loneliness. Now that I'm back, no one seems to really care that I went on a trip. I feel like this is the short story of my whole life. I've never made friends very easily, no matter how social I am. My romantic relationships have been few and far in between. I'm hearing myself talk into a down spiral again and I really don't feel like I'm asking for a lot. A best friend would be nice. A girl friend would be great. Just not feeling so bad about all this would be perfect. I feel like I could thrive if I didn't have this all weighing down on me. In the last year the biggest issue for me has been my love life, and being as nonexistent as it has been, hasn't helped the loneliness feelings. There was one girl I was interested in and wanted to come on the trip with me, or maybe just spend some time with me, but she's pretty much ignored me into rejection now. I've gotten over that, it happens often enough, but I keep beating myself up over why I can't seem to attract anyone or keep people around. It feels like as soon as they get a glimpse of me they start to distance themselves. I put on a great mask when I'm feeling down around them, heck I've been doing it for 10+ years, and when it's not a mask it's all even better. I don't have the slightest clue why people ignore me or run away.

Sociable hostel recommendations for major European cities

So tomorrow I'm heading to London and getting a coach from there to Brussels. I've not booked anything and I'm pretty disorganised; planning to wing it with an interrail pass and see what happens, but I aim to be in Berlin by the Thursday evening. Obviously, though, aside from roughing it in train stations, having a proper bed would be preferable, so I'd love to hear your personal recommendations on sociable hostels to stay in for most of the major cities in Europe -- ideally Berlin and Amsterdam. My main focus is on meeting people to travel/hang around with and to enjoy the nightlife with, so sociable/'party' hostels with kitchens are my main priority - ideally on the cheap too!

Do colors exist in the world, outside of the mind?

I would say that colors don't exist in any objective sense without an observer to perceive light waves of a certain frequency. But here I run into trouble in thinking about the objective world. Does that mean that objectively a chair isn't a chair if it isn't being perceived as such? Then what about the light waves I referred to earlier? Does it follow that they don't exist objectively either? This seems absurd. The "objective" world, the world that exists regardless of human perception cannot be visualized or thought about in words as these are human notions. So where does this leave us?

This guy and I never talked exclusivity, I told his friends I hooked up with 2 other guys (but I didn't), now he's mad that I did? Do I tell him the truth?!

Let's call the guy I like Brian. I have liked Brian since I first saw him. Then, by the grace of god, we became friends and started to hook up. I always wanted something more, but was happy with how things were going, and he never verbalized "liking" me or exclusivity, and I've heard his reputation for being a "player" so I figured to stay hooking up I'd have to prove casualness. We were hooking up for about a week or two, then one night I went to a party, got drunk, and told his friends I hooked up with two other people, in the hopes telling him could prove my ability to be casual...or possibly urge him to be exclusive? He called me the next day furious about what I had done, which caught me offguard, and in a panic I stuck with what I told his two friends. He's been "thinking" the past few days and I think he's going to tell me he lost respect for me so its over. Do I tell him the truth, or would that just have him loose more respect form me?

Is there any sport with more variance (higher standard of deviation) than golf?

I was recently thinking about how golf is the worst sport for sports betting due to the sheer amount of variance within the game. Just last Sunday at Greenbrier, we had reigning U.S. Open champ Webb Simpson leading by two strokes, surrounded by an unlikely group of rookies who had never even made a top 10, let alone won a tournament. I thought it was a safer chance than ever to put some money down. I bet $50 that Simpson would make the top 5. When he collapsed on Sunday, and it ended up being a couple of rookies battling it out for 1st (4 out of the top 5 ended up being rookies), I couldn't really be surprised. This wasn't tennis or basketball or football or any other sport where you have the same top teams/players almost guaranteed to make a final. This was golf, a sport in which it was possible for 15 separate individuals to win 15 consecutive major tournaments. So my question is: Is golf the highest variance sport in the world? Not including poker, which I don't myself consider a sport.

How does Madolche cards work? (plus rate deck?)

So I've been interested in the Madolche archetype for a long time now, and just now found the time to look them up I've built a decent deck based on mainly summoning Madolche, powering them up with Chateau and then destroy everything. With Ticket and Waltz to back up. Though - that is not part of what I'm wondering, I'm wondering exactly how they work. And how Queen Madolche Tiaramisu works. The wiki say that the monster detached by her are shuffled in the deck again, though is this true? Isn't a monster technically gone when they get used as an xyz material? (This question also counts for other xyz-cards) And then a final question, what is the best way to play them? Lock down? Xyz summon? Swarm? Here's my deck btw: List: Main: Madolche Magileine, Puddingcess, Chouxvalier, Mewfuille, Ticket, Waltz, Chateau x3 Madolche Messengelato, Happy Festa x2 Dimensional Prison x3 Desperate Tag x3 Pot of Duality x1 Relieve Monster x2 Scrap-Iron Scarecrow Heavy Storm, Dark Hole, Solemn Judgment, Monster Reborn (The usual) Extra: Queen Madolche Tiaramisu and Wind-Up Zenmaines x3 Side: Effect Veiler, Kinetic Solider x2 Madolche Messengelato, Happy Festa x1 Madolche Lesson, Tea Break x3 Scrap-Iron Scarecrow and Relieve Monster x1 Is there anything I should add/take away?

Did anyone of you go through a phase of obsession with bass?

Because I'm hoping mine doesn't end. I'm practically sleeping with the bass. I wake up looking at the bass, play all day, (when I'm not playing I'm playing in my head) go to sleep running songs in my head, dream about playing the bass and then it starts over. I only want to talk about bass with my friends, I only ever listen to the bass parts in songs and I've delved into all these different style I didn't knew. I found my perfect bass yesterday, now I'm frantically looking for a job so I can get the dough for it. I'm so happy, but my life has been taken over.

Why don't we have a "girl code"?

I recently stopped talking to a girl I was best friends with for 3 years because she did something I really didn't agree with. I completely cut her out of my life. she called me last night because she needed someone to jump start her car and I'm the only person she knew to do it. I didn't answer the phone and completely ignored her. I was talking to a male friend about it and he said if it was him and one of his ex-guy friends he would have helped them out because it was "bro code" why don't we have a girl code?

Can someone explain to me the rationale behind early termination fees for apartment leases?

It seems quite common in various areas (around the US anyway) there is an early termination fee clause in they lease you sign. I can fully understand need to pay out the entirety of the lease but it makes no sense to me to have a penalty to move out 2 or 3 months before the lease is up. If anything you'd think it'd be a landlords dream to have people move in on a 12 month lease, leave after 1 or 2 months while still paying the full 12 month face value and then getting someone else in on month 3 to rinse and repeat. I guess one argument could be it screws up their planning, but so what if you pay the full amount of the lease. More time to find someone new, less landlord responsibilities to worry about in the mean time with no money lost if the tenants moves out on schedule w/ their one month (or what ever required) notice.

The Cold Inside Chapter Eighteen part two

[The Cold Inside Chapter Eighteen part two By AL BRUNO III]( Monday November 28, 1994 “What are you doing here?” Phil was bent over scales and powders. He was wearing a surgical mask and rubber gloves. A single thick candle lit the kitchen, sputtering and flickering. Pots were bubbling on the stove. A small hunk of bloody meat sat on the cutting board, it had been cut and recut beyond any hope of recognition. *“You owe me an explanation.”* Tristam hovered as close to his face as he dared. “I owe you nothing you little fuck.” Phil chuckled and went back to methodically scraping powder into a phial. If he had been there in the flesh he would have struck the man, *“Hey! Hey! I am talking to you!”* “Yeah and I'm not listening am I? You better get lost before I do something a little more…” He paused searching for the right word, “How do you kids say it? Something a little more extreme.” Tristam thought of Reginald in his bottle and shivered, *“Look something happened today. I had some kind of a fit- a hallucination. I saw myself die but it wasn't me.”* “Oh.” Phil straightened, “Oh really? I can see why you're scared shitless.” *“I'm not scared, its just I have enough people thinking I’m psycho as it is! What's happening to me?”* “Indigestion.” *“What?”* “Remember that soul you consumed on Thanksgiving? Well sometimes you get little bits of memory playing through your head after you do it. It's perfectly natural.” Tristam waved his arms in Phil's face, trying to make him understand, *“No. No it is not natural. I felt that person die, I was that person.”* “For Christ's sake get over it kid. You think having power is easy? There's a price for it.” He frowned. Behind him a fluffy black cat slunk out of the bathroom. “There's always a price.” *“I don't think I realized what this would mean. I don't think I want this.”* Phil shook his head, “Too late you're in.” *“Fuck you.”* A pot was bubbling over on the stove, Phil ignored it. “No fuck you. You're in now. You owe me you little pissant.” *“Owe you what? You still haven't said what you want.”* “I tell you what I want when I'm damned well ready and not five seconds before!” *“Enough of this.”* Tristam turned to fly away, *“Enough of you.”* Phil shouted something, it sounded like gibberish to Tristam but suddenly he couldn't move. He felt himself being yanked sharply back into the kitchen. The room spun and suddenly he was face to face with Phil and it was that terrible day in his mother's office all over again. He knew he had no throat but he could feel himself choking. Phil's mouth never moved but Tristam heard his voice, heard it roaring through his head “For the last time! I'm the teacher, you're the student! I talk and you listen! When I say get lost you get lost!”- -Tristam crashed painfully back into his body and into consciousness. He sat up in his bed. The alarm clock read 7 PM. He was buried under a pair of heavy comforters. There was half-eaten bowl of soup on his nightstand. The humidifier was sighing in one corner filling his room with warm moist air. Everyone from Mrs. Dover down to his mother thought he was sick with the flu. How could he tell them otherwise? He rolled onto his side and drew the covers in tight around himself and tried to quell his trembling. The old man's voice echoed in his head, *“…You're in now. You owe me…”* Tristam couldn't be sure if it was just a memory or something more. He could never be sure again. **To Be Continued**

Calling health conscious China resident foodies, what do you cook/eat?

Firstly, I know we're not living here for the health benefits. And don't get me wrong, I adore Chinese food, but it's not exactly the healthiest option. I live in a 2nd tier city where Western/healthy restaurants are a lot pricier. I love to cook, but my experiences are mostly with Anglo-Saxon or South-East Asian (not that healthy either, really) styles. Which generally involves ovens, salads, fresh bread, cheese etc. All things that aren't the easiest to get here. So, without an oven or a microwave (and I'm not buying one just for a few more months of being here), what do you guys cook that is **fast, healthy and primarily sourced from local ingredients**? I'm all about simple 4-5 ingredient recipes, minimal washup, even balance of carbs and protein, simple flavours. I've exhausted my omelet repertoire :( Thanks for any new ideas!

Problem with the volume rocker

This doesn't happen all the time. It usually happen when I am streaming video through the browser. When I tap the volume rocker to decrease the volume slightly, it continues to drop all the way to zero even though I have released the rocker. If I then tap the volume rocker to increase the volume, it continues to increase the volume all the way to max, even though I have released the rocker. As I continue to try to adjust it, it keeps either rising to either 100% or dropping to mute with no middle ground possible. Only when I restart the tablet does it fix this. Does anyone else have this problem with the volume rocker (it seem to be a software problem)?

Looking for geeky/romantic things to do in SF in mid April

I'm visiting a girlfriend from Apr. 11-16th and am looking for suggestions on cool/geeky/romantic things to do in SF/SF area during that time. On Saturday, we're going to Bouchon and a couple of wineries. She likes geeky things, science, music, french things, museums, wine. This will be an experience for both of us. She lives in San Jose, but goes to SF quite a bit. I asked if there was something that she hasn't done and wanted to do and she responded with the Audium and Exploratorium. I looked some stuff up and came up with I'm a foodie and a science/tech geek like her. I have never been to SF, but since she's in California, I don't want to inundate her with too many touristy sightseeing things that she has already done. Would like to know any more suggestions from the subreddit. Anything is appreciated. P.S. (some backstory) I've been friends with her now for 3.5 years, but am going all out to let her know I like her. I would tell her I love her, but I don't want to scare her off. So this is very important. I know at this point, I have been most likely 'friend-zoned' but life's too short to not know. We used to work together, and I have a strict rule of not dating people I work with. She got another job/moved, and this will be the first time I see her since.

What can I do stop my dogs from being aggressive to others?

I have two dogs (about 1 year old) who have problems with aggression. They are neutered rescue dogs that appear to be golden-retriever/black lab/pitbull mix. They are well-trained and don't really do any puppy stuff anymore (like chewing things or being rowdy all the time). Except for playing pretty rough sometimes, they are sweet and loving. The catch is that they are only sweet and normal to family members; they get super aggressive and bite at anyone not in the family. If we are not able to control them around others, their lives could be on the line and it would be super depressing if something bad happens. Do people have any suggestions or things that they have seen work for dogs that have aggressive anxiety around outsiders? We have tried just about everything (from herbal supplements to calming vests to trainers) and nothing has particular worked, but I would love any suggestions that you may have. Please help me out reddit... its really frustrating our family and beyond depressing... its hard to watch two dogs that love you so much got so anxious and angry at others. TL;DR: I have two dogs who are violent towards non-family members, any advice?

Illidan [H] Bronze League Heroes Recruiting for core 10m / RBG / Arenas

Recruiting closed for warriors, paladins, and priests. Actively seeking warlocks, shamans and a death knight. GOALS FOR GUILD: 1. Core 14-15 flexible players 2. Solid, trustworthy players that will work together and maximize each others' in-game "performance" and have an enjoyable atmosphere 3. Players that can easily transition between specs and PvP / PvE 4. CONSISTENT RBG team composition 5. A handful of players w/ alts on several specs to create arena teams from etc etc etc 6. Raid times will be established when a working group has been assembled, assume they will be suited around EST Going to cut to the chase quick, and making a very honest post. A core group of players have moved to Illidan with myself, we've formed a new guild and are looking to supplement our solid group of about 6 people. We all have experience clearing every raid from Vanilla --> Wrath. We all took leaves of absence periodically throughout the end of Wrath and during Cata from the lack "innovation" that was taking place. We all have experience in arenas surpassing 2200 on several classes. So who are we looking for? Truth be told, at this point in time, anyone. We're looking for flexible players that can fill multiple roles ranging from tank / heals / DPS. Players that can transition to and from PvE -> PvP with ease. Are we going to be a hardcore PvE guild? Honestly, no. I believe that if we find a core group of about 14-15 people we can easily clear 10m in a single night and go on about our personal goals for the game and life for the rest of the week.

Going on two years cable free and generally loving it, but the Flash + Mac issues are driving me crazy! Help?

So thanks in large part to inspiration here, I cut the cord almost two years ago and have never looked back. I had a 2008 mac laptop that I was thinking of selling, but I realized I could use it with the apple remote, wireless keyboard, wireless mouse I already had. So now I have hulu, boxee and a bunch of other streaming sources (for Netflix I use my blu-ray player as the quality seems to be slightly better). So here's my issue, it seems no matter what I do with Hulu (and the same seems to go for anything that is Flash-based), I get lagging and dropped frames. I have done a ton of research and all I've found are suggestions that you update flash, hulu leanback and turn off hardware acceleration. I even tried creating a new profile on the mac but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm at the point where I feel like I should just sell the mac and get some kind of PC-based system but I'm hoping there's something I can do to fix this. Maybe upgrade to a higher OS? If it helps, my Mac is running 10.4.11, 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of RAM.

Huge recommendation for Anthony Ryan's Blood Song

Like many of you, I have stumbled through this subreddit looking for recommendations of fantastic fantasy. Via one of those recommendations, I came upon Anthony Ryan's Blood Song, the first book in his Raven's Shadow trilogy (Book 2 to be released in 2013). **Simply put, this is some of the best fantasy I've read in years** Here are some takeaways: * The character development is fantastic. * The book flows with an unusual grace and speed which keeps readers actively engaged. * There is a healthy mix of action, plot set-up, and back story to develop the world Ryan is trying to create * I literally could not put it down for 3 days. While reading the book, all I can think about how this is going to be the next HUGE piece of fantasy for the next few years. If I could buy stock or some sort of publishing rights for the book, I'd empty the piggy bank. Very rarely in the past five years have I seen talent like this. Sales right now for the book are about 20k. I could see this number 10-20x this as word gets out on Ryan's ability to create such compelling fantasy. Ryan's blog links to a number of reviews if you do not believe this fanboy's idolation for the series. Highly, highly recommended.

So recently, on the way to see some family, my family and I came across an antiques store that had boxes and boxes of some old, some seemingly new vacuum tubes. I say seemingly because the new tubes were in boxes whose numbers matched the tubes, but looked used. All of these tubes were only $3 a pop, so I bought some- not only just because I have always had a fascination with them, but also because I didn't realise they could be acquired so cheaply. So to the point, does anyone know about any cool or interesting things I could build with them, with the intention of learning some new stuff?

To Christians: Is free will actually a valid response to the problem of evil and suffering?

I have objections to the idea that free will is a valid response to the problems of evil and suffering. I would like to articulate 4 of them and see if you can identify reasons why you feel I am incorrect in this view: 1. Free will is already inherently limited. For example, I can have the desire to have a better family, live in a rich nation, live under a democracy, fly, and countless other things. Not all people have the power to actually achieve these things. I can wish to live underwater, but I can't actually do anything about it. What I'm getting at is, there are plenty of things I simply am not able to do. My free will is limited. So, if God had no problem limiting our power to achieve things that we willed, why does he allow us to do harmful things to one another? In order to have truly free will, we would also need essentially infinite power, which we do not have. 2. Free will isn't actually free. While we are capable of making decisions, our genetics and our environment determine the choice we make. Two people who grew up in the same environment with the same brain chemistry would make the same decisions. Essentially, our decisions are all pre-determined. If our ability to make decisions is decided by factors we have no actual control over, our ability to make decisions is not entirely ours. 3. The free will argument does not answer for suffering caused by factors other than humanity. All of humanity could consistently make the moral choices in every situation, yet people would still suffer when earthquakes strike without warning. 4. Finally, the argument usually revolves around the idea that God wishes us to love him. Without free will, we cannot truly love, the argument goes. However, Christianity clearly asserts that God can not go against his nature and that God is love. God has no choice to not love us, doing so would violate his nature just as much as lying would. He is capable of loving even without the free will to choose not to. Hence, the argument that free will is necessary for us to love God does not seem to hold.

Want to offer r/indianapolis redditors a chance at my camera first- with a discount. Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 8MP

If anyone here is interested in a pretty decent camera, I'd like to offer it up before I put it on Craigslist/Ebay. I'll sell it for $200. Here is a review: I am including extras, such as the extended battery pack, soft case, and some pretty good lenses (macro, etc...). I will even include a couple 8gb SD cards. There's nothing wrong with the camera, I just need the money and it was a hobby that never took off. If you're interested, PM me and I'll send you pictures and more details at your request. Cheers
