What does anyone know about the effects of eating mangoes & smoking bud?	I've done my own research on it via the internet before & everything I've seen basically states to eat the mango about a 45 minutes or an hour prior to smoking so the myrcene mixes with the plasma of your blood or something? Can anyone verify this or give more detailed information?
Software for importing texts from phone?	Hey reddit, I posted this yesterday in /r/software, but it looks like it got hit by the spam filter. I was wondering if anyone had some advice as to importing the contents of the inbox and saved messages of a regular Nokia phone. I use mine to jot down a lot of ideas when I typically don't have a notebook handy, so I'd like a preferably free method of transferring all of those files onto my desktop. I use a non-smartphone, and I have a Bluetooth connection which I use to transfer regularly.
Does /r/snowboarding have any tips on spinning?	I've been hitting the slopes pretty regularly and have even taken some professional lessons to the point where I can slide any rail and clear 30 foot jumps but have yet to conquer spinning. To those of you that know how to spin, would you mind throwing out some tips?
[meta] Should we create a new submission for each game?	I assume that would be the rule, but I don't think I've seen it stated anywhere so I'd just like to be clear so I don't misunderstand and mess things up.
So say, hypothetically, a redditor legally bought a gram of 10x salvia and had never smoked it before...	How should said redditor smoke said product? I've heard to mix it with pot, I've heard to smoke it straight, and then at the same time, how much should one smoke?
I just learned this in my General Relativity class and I thought I'd share.	Sometimes when I'm sitting on a plane I think about this. The closer you are to a gravitational object, the more highly time is dilated (if youre near a black hole, youre time slows down a LOT) So being high up, time should run slower for someone on the ground. But you are also moving at around 500 miles per hours, so special relativity says time should slow down in the plane. So which effect wins? Does time slow down more than a person standing on the earth because of your velocity? or does time speed up in the plane because of their proximity to the surface of the earth? I finally found the answer, which is as follows. The way you can calculate the effect of gravity to first approximation is to just consider an inertial frame on the airplane and let it fall. Due to the equivalence principle, this is the same as letting starting a person at rest and accelerating them away from you and then a second observer accelerates past you (the guy on the ground as you fall). YOu can calculate the speed when that person gets next to the 'falling' inertial observer by 1/2mv^2 = mgh and solving for v. You get about 1000 miles per hour, double the horizontal velocity, so the gravitational effect is twice as strong as the special relativity effect. So in some respect, if you are standing on something higher up than someone else, you are traveling 'faster' than they are, even though both of you are standing still, because youre both in an accelerated frame of reference.
[TOMT] an episode of mst3k	It seemed like the movie was made in like the seventies, and I'm pretty sure there was a bigfoot like creature, they were in an american mountain (appalachian?) setting. There is a scene where their jeep gets stuck in the mud and a girl in camouflage and a red bandanna gets out of the car, and one of the robots says "oh my god, a floating bandanna!"
What's your experience with glitches and hacks in online multiplayers(the worst, the first, the most recent, the enjoyable)?	I am 16 so I haven't encountered so many of them. I remember my online multiplayer experience was Conker: live & reloaded. The game had so many exploits... but they were fun for me, to get killed by them was not so annoying. Sometimes they just suck. The reason I post this is to kill time while the infinite care package glitch in MW2 gets fixed, and I though, hey I wonder how this compares.
Why are my electronics going crazy? I press one button and something else happens...	Both my TV and my DVD player do completely random things when I press a button. Change channel and the menu pops up. Press play on the DVD player and it ejects the DVD, pause it and it fast forwards. Lower the volume, changes the input. It doesn't happen if use the remote, but what's going on? Edit: Started to happen sporadically, but now it's the norm.
Need some advise regarding a potential gun swap I may be trying to set up. (Semi Auto Handguns)	I have a Kimber Eclipse Custom II .45 mo. 1911 about 1200 rounds through it... I've been beginning to take interest in the FN Five-Seven as it has quite a better muzzle velocity and a more unique style... Would this be a potentially fair trade? The kimber is close to 1200 retail new and the FN is close to 900 New. PS: Looking to trade for new. Thanks.
Ask Scotch: Storing your bottles for the long haul.	Hey guys, I've managed to accumulate a pretty sizable collection of single malts and I've got a question for you about storage. I'm afraid that I might be doing harm to the scotch by leaving a half finished bottle on the shelf for months (or even for some by now a year or so) on end. I keep them corked and in the box, so I'm hoping this helps. I've heard conflicting reports about whether they lose any characteristics with age in a bottle that has been opened and resealed. Some say it doesn't make a difference, others say it loses some taste. Any experience with this? I'd hate to think my special dram I leave on the shelf for anniversaries would be going to waste... Also, if there are problems with leaving them sitting around are there any suggestions for keeping special bottles long term? EDIT: Had to resubmit because I was a moron and left out the title.
how many cds stacked upon each other would crack a cd, and which one?	So, I have a bunch of cds stacked up on my desk and I was just wondering how many cds stacked on each other would it take to crack one of the cds? And extra credit, which one would it be? EDIT: maybe, you guys can show your work also ... And, I do not actually know the answer.... This is not a science project, just curiosity! EDIT 2: I was also just thinking of how many cd cases it would take to do the same thing! Any new comments?
Weight Gain, Confidence, and Sex	Reddit Readers, I am in a loving, caring, LDR (2.5 years). We're college aged. I'm female. I recently started Oral Contraceptives. One side affect: Minor weight gain. When my boyfriend and I met, I was at my heaviest (120 - 125 lbs.). Please note that I am 5'5", petite yet athletic (muscular) build. Over the course of about a year, I began to take better care of myself and was stable at around 108. Having started taking birth control, I am now at 112 - even though I eat right and go to the gym, and live an extremely hectic/stressful lifestyle. Also note, I struggled with Anorexia for about 2 years in HS. With my new breast growth (I was always fairly flat), and generally less muscle tone, I feel less sexy. I am trying to not let this hinder our sexual life - easy to do on skype dates. However, I am worried that he is going to be disappointed in my body/ I'm going to feel less sexy. Now, he only raves about my body. And I know I am not fat. I just, well, am feeling a bit down about it! Any words of wisdom??
My 7 year old son is suddenly terrified of dying because he doesn't know what will happen to him....	My 7 year old son is suddenly terrified of dying becuase he doesn't know what will happen to him.... I want very much to tell him that he will go to heaven and see all the people he loves, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I don;t want to lie to him but I want to comfort him. What in the world do I tell him?
Lets start this r/hiphop thing over and get it going for real!	Check out for the NEW hiphop subreddit. I'll be an active moderator and I wouldn't mind some help. I've got some ideas in store. It'll have the latest hiphop news, mp3s, mixtapes, discussions, etc! I just started it today so lets get it going reddit hiphopheads! I know you guys (and girls) are out there!
What companies have you been laid off by in the 'recent' economic downturn?	It seems that everyday a new company is announcing layoffs. What Redditors have been affected and what company were you at?
My GF of two years just broke up with me.	I don't really know what to do. I can't talk to any of our friends. I have been super depressed and despondent for a long time. I never cry really but now I can't stop. There doesn't seem to be any happy outcome. All I can do to keep from sobbing is think about how I'm going to get her back. I wanted to marry her. I've never been in a relationship nearly this serious before. All I can think of to win her back is to exercise and get really fit because she say's she doesn't find me attractive anymore... What's worse is that she is already trying to move on with some guy she is chatting with online. He lives far away but the thought still hurts a lot. I don't even know if I want her back now. I have health problems that have been plaguing me for years too. I'm pretty much constantly in pain. Since, for the past two years I've been dating her I have pulled away from friends and now I'm completely isolated. Edit: Thanks to all of you and your advice. I forgot to mention that I live with her but she is watching her sisters house for a couple weeks. I am doing the exact opposite of what the general consensus is. I'm planning a large valentines gift to try and get her back. I'm also not been eating much and doing exercise... I threw my cell phone against a wall and I started crying in a few public places. I have a few suicide plans that you'll be happy to know are pretty painless.
First post on reddit so i'll plug my band....in a shameless fashion.	Few recordings from my UK based band on the facebook page (scroll down) and constructive critique welcomed! Facebook page here!
Did Stephen King predict the success of Avatar and the destruction of Haiti in one of his novels?	I'm in the middle of reading King's Dreamcatcher and I come across this sentence: "Not just any movie either, but the sort of James Cameron extravaganza where the catering costs alone would amount to enough to feed the people of Haiti for two years." Probably nothing more than weird coincidence, but creepy enough to share. edit: My question is more of a tongue-in-cheek kind, not meant to actually say that Stephens predicted anything. I understand history seems to repeat and echo in weird ways. It was just really eerie how relevant that quote was to today : / any other interesting coincidences out there?
If you're a man, do you open doors or hold them open for women?	I'm fascinated to see your response. I'm 44 and was raised to be polite, and a part of that was opening doors, or holding them open for women. I still do too - for all females I identify as post-adolescent. Most times I am smiled at and get a "thank you". Sometimes not. Recently though I have noticed a lot of men failing to do this, and I wonder if today's boys are being taught about good manners regarding doors. What's your behaviour?
Gaming Reddit: What console do you regret selling the most?	For me, (and I'm guessing many people,) it was selling my SNES. I was a kid, and I assumed that every generation was going to be better than the next. The SNES brought about more Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, and newer Mario games. So the PSX and N64 era should be even better! Closely followed by selling my Dreamcast, the platform with the best 2D fighters and the worst controller to try and play them on.
A few more questions from the guy who knows shit all about Gimp...	I have an entire page, its all done except I don't know how to stroke my text bubbles... Erm... I want a pixel thick black line surrounding my text bubble, but i can't figure out how to do it. Also two side questions, any one know a good comic book font? Also If i wanted to do 2d animations what software would i use? Edit: the page is made. Everything is taken care of. Thanks all.
36 hours in labor. Any similar experiences?	My sister lives in Australia and recently gave birth to a baby boy. This is my first niece/ nephew, and I'm incredibly excited to be an aunt! However the labor was long and difficult and I was wondering if her experience was as all normal. My sister lives in Australia where you have two options when having a baby. You can give birth in a private or a public hospital. My sister decided to go with the public option. When she first went into labor they loaded up and went to the hospital where they were quickly sent home again and told to come back after her contractions became closer together. Thirty six hours, one midline episiotomy and a whole lot of blood later my 9lb 11oz nephew was born: My sister said that no one suggested a C-section to her until after the episiotomy (at which point she said "No thanks, one set of stitches is enough"). So I was wondering if this is at all normal?
Help me out Proggit, I want to learn my first language!	But I don't know which I should learn. I'm not just being lazy, I've tried to do research, but I'd like to hear some advice, preferences, stories and warnings from Reddit! I know this is a broad question and open to preference and interpretation, but I'd like to get a wide analysis of programmers to see what I can do to make a good pick! I'll try to answer any questions, and my friends and I thank you in advance for your help!!
What about circumcision as a mens rights issue?	I was reading the IAMA about foreskin restoration: Have not really thought about circumcision in general. When my son was born we elected not to. Never really thought of it as a traumatic event (I am cut), but apparently it can be. Especially as it can lead to difficulties in the boner department. The irony is that for much of modern history its been other men snipping male babies. How come there is no uproar over this practice?
Where did all the decent stuff, like music videos, go on youtube?	You know, I'm pretty sick of this copyright crap. I used to be able to go on and do a search for a song like, Hurt Feelings by Flight of the Conchords, and immediately watch the full video on youtube. Now I can't find anything decent except user submitted @#$%. Where are you guys going to watch music videos and things worth watching. Sorry I just needed to bitch for a minute
Those of you that make music on the Mac - what are your favorite Audio Units?	I like Automat (subtractive synthesis, free, alphakanal.de]( quite a bit, though I haven't used it recently, and Crystal (subtractive & fm synthesis, free, [greenoak.com
Is Gmail down for anyone else? :O	404 error!!1 EDIT: Actually it's a "This webpage has a redirect loop." error!!1 EDIT: OK, it was just a bug of some kind. Signed in and out at google.com and it's fixed. :3
HAE noticed that the Samoas/Caramel deLites are shockingly smaller this year?	They were always such a wonderfully hefty cookie. Losing a trivial amount of Thin Mint to the wavy outline was one thing. But now Samoas are practically the size of Thin Mints. They are SIGNIFICANTLY tinier, and I do not like it.
I know we are tired of Modern Warfare 2 posts...	...but I was just in a game and a level 1 guy (non-prestige) was running around with a Tactical Knife. Maybe it's my lack of sleep, but how would a lv 1 already have a Tac knife? Edit: I should mention he had lightweight and unlimited sprint.
Hey Twee Subreddit! Let's Make a Mixtape.	I had an idea to make a collaborative mixtape, and then post the mix as a sort of "introduction" to twee on the main music subreddit. My basic idea was to start in 1986 (for no particular reason) and pick 1 song for every two year period to make our mix. So 1 song for 1986-87, one for 88-89 etc. What do you think? If this sounds like fun, start posting ideas!
Ask /r/Buddhism: Do you have any techniques for maintaining proper thought or mindfulness throughout the day?	For example, one technique for inducing lucid dreams is to set one's watch to ding periodically throughout the day. When it goes off, one takes stock of one's situation: Am I dreaming? Am I flying? Are there aliens? Is anything weird or out of place? Do lightswitches work? Am I dreaming? The idea being that this trains the mind to periodically take stock of its situation and that eventually this will happen when sleeping and the response will be, appropriately, "Yes, I am dreaming." Does anybody here use similar techniques to help train themselves towards proper mental action? Self-assessments, games, reminders, one-liners, anything?
Does anyone have any thoughts on art museum ethics?	OL 505: Organizational Ethics Term Research Paper Ethics in Organizations Actual organizations and the ethical dimensions of their decision making processes Institutional codes of conduct, their nature and effectiveness The moral and social impacts that organizations have on their communities 1. What is the process in choosing an exhibit for an Art Museum? 2. Do you ever feel like you cannot fully explore all that available in our community because of the art has to be of the liking to everyone? 3. Do board members ever exclude items that may be considered too risky for the community? 4. Have you ever experienced an incident where an opening was controversial to the community? 5. Have you ever had problems with donors not being pleased with a show because it offended them? 6. Is there a scale or set rules to what is exhibited at the Art Museum? 7. Do you find your community to be accepting to most art? How does your community of art lovers compare to other cities? 8. When selecting items for exhibits have you ever encountered controversy with artists making large donations in order to have their piece in the show? 9. How do you make sure exhibits are diverse and that the museum displays an array of different artists?
San Francisco Bay Area Meet Up	Hi Everyone! Anyone in SF want to meet up? Let's get this thing rolling out here.
Thinking about making a GW chat room	Since I found out about the GW chat rooms, I have been there every night. I love the community even when there is no one going wild. Everyone is friendly and talkative. But one thing I have noticed with tinychat is that it blows, and blows hard. It's laggy and doesn't do a very good job with the cams. So this is where I come to ask you guys. Would anyone support the idea of me and maybe some other people creating a chat room server just for GW? What do you guys think, Flash, Java, Or try to go for HTML5?
Does anyone know of a video player that can play multiple embedded sources simultaneously in one screen?	I want to be able to open multiple embedded links in one player and play them all at once. Please help Reddit, I want an entertainment overload.
Is the recognition of potential downvotes a recognition of the narrow mindedness of reddit?	If reddit is really such a free thinking and intellectual community, why must anyone with a recognizable, unpopular opinion be gun shy?
Update: Things not going quite so well	Psy-kosh was kind enough to check in me with a message a few days ago. I figure I should write an update since my last post. I've felt pretty down a couple of times, including suicide ideation. Nothing immediate. I'm mostly keeping it at, "In three months when my money runs out..." I am starting to worry about my money situation. I'm also feeling extremely frustrated with my incredible disorganization, memory, and attention/focusing problems. It seems I have a lot of ideas for stories or other projects, but I can't actually do them. I'm also worried about applying for jobs because I can't remember my last jobs. I have only vague recollections of what I did. Usually, there are questions ask about specific circumstances... which I can't answer in details (if at all). There are lots of moments I really just feel like giving up. In many ways I already have. When I quit my last job in the middle of last year, I basically did so with the intention of killing myself once I ran out of money.
Hey D.C. redditors, I'm visiting your fine city this weekend. I'm gonna have 78 hours, $200 dollars, and 2 friends. What should I do?	Leaving Boston this Thursday and driving all night, coming back on Sunday. Were looking for cool cheap bars, museums, music, and well.. anything fun! P.S. Sleep is very optional.
[Offer] Penpal / Package exchange	I saw someone else post this and thought it was a great idea. I love to write letters and exchange little packages of items and foods. I live in the US and would prefer to do exchanges with someone from another country. PM me or comment here and we can talk.
[3] and rising... Edibles question!	Hello there /r/trees! I just had half of a delicious caramel... and I'm starving. If I eat now will it murder my high? I don't want it to die! :( Thank you for your time <3
Just got this email from Google...Thought I'd Share	Dear Google Apps admin, In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers. We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010. After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar. Google Apps will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above. Starting this week, users on these older browsers will see a message in Google Docs and the Google Sites editor explaining this change and asking them to upgrade their browser. We will also alert you again closer to March 1 to remind you of this change. In 2009, the Google Apps team delivered more than 100 improvements to enhance your product experience. We are aiming to beat that in 2010 and continue to deliver the best and most innovative collaboration products for businesses. Thank you for your continued support! Sincerely, The Google Apps team
You wanted more hiphop. Here's an instrumental.	I started and finished this track within a couple hours. Jacked the melody from a record. It's pretty obvious but I'll let you guys figure it out. Let me know what you think.
Something I just noticed after watching Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure	I love this movie. Seen it plenty of times since I was maybe five years old. Yet I never noticed this one thing before tonight: Throughout the whole movie, Rufus, played by the late great George Carlin, never gives his name. Ever. He never gives it to the audience in his opening dialogue, he never gives it to the three robed future people before they give him the phone booth, and he never gives it to Bill or Ted. Yet in the parking lot of the Circle K, future-Bill addresses Bill and Ted and says, "Listen to this dude Rufus. He knows what he's talking about." There is nothing in the course of the movie to explain how Bill came to know Rufus' name! I really hope I'm not the only one to have missed this before tonight. In my more geekish moments I've picked apart the time travel aspect of the story, and I feel really stupid for not noticing this glaring problem sooner.
A really old school project me and some atheist friends made -- You play a super muscular, duke nukem attitude, grenade launcher wielding jesus.	This project was made during my time in the Game Art program at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. The object of the class was to work with a team of 5 other people, come up with a fake game trailer, and produce it. Looking back on it, the content is straight up awful, it was 1.5 years into a 3 year program, and alot of the content is amateur --- and it was rushed because we had 9 weeks to do it. However, I was feeling nostalgic and thought I'd share this project with Reddit. Maybe it's worth a few laughs. Anyways the whole purpose was to take biblical mythology and have fun with it. I thought that if all these people make stories about elves and goblins and take their liberties with other mythical creatures, why can't I take Jesus and just turn him into a stylish badass who walks around wreaking righteous carnage on the earth? This was the result!
I would like to be able to control the threshold it takes for a subreddit to make my frontpage. IE: I like ffuuuu and circlejerk, but I don't want them flooding my frontpage	rather than try to explain my idea, I just drew it There you go, reddit, there's your blueprint for success. The lack of this sort of feature has made me unsubscribe from /r/circlejerk. Its an awesome subreddit, but it just clutters my frontpage. There are certain subreddits which I want to always appear on my frontpage near the top when new stuff comes out, and there are certain subreddits which I only want to see the most upvoted stuff.
About to break off engagement	Good evening everybody. Just wondering if the hive mind can help me figure out a couple things, or at least just listen. So I'm in my second year of what has seemed like a very good relationship, at least good enough to make me want to marry the girl. We dated for a year and a half before the engagement, it wasn't perfect but we made it work. She came into the relationship with some very heavy baggage (more later if it's justified). I had strong enough feelings for the girl to work through it with her. We moved in together soon after I proposed and have been living together for a little over six months now. Lately everything I do and say becomes an argument. I'm not the type to start fights, and have never really had any issues with anyone in my life before. I try to talk to her about it and it just escalates the situation. Cut to last night. She got mad at me for something and I got mad back. It's been twenty-four hours since we even spoke. In this twenty four hours I've had a lot of time to think and am starting to realize I'm not really happy and I haven't been for a long time. We hardly make love, and I'm realizing she never even pursues me for as much as a kiss. We've spoken about our different needs, and I always end up being the bad guy and the pervert. Looking back I'm starting to wonder why I thought everything was so great and it's all kinda hazy. We've got nothing in common. Our music tastes, our religious beliefs or lack thereof ;), our hobbies, what we eat, our political views, our sex drives. Nothing matches. My question for you is this. Should I stick it out and find a way to make it work, or should I cut my losses and leave? What would you do? tl;dr: Considering breaking off engagement due to bad chemistry, no commonalities. Pros? Cons? I'll be up for quite a while to answer questions. Thanks.
Hey reddit, I'd like your opinion on glasses.	I'm getting new glasses and I looking for suggestions. I like the Ray-Ban Clubmaster, what others would you recommend? Oh, and I'm a male.
In honor of Lost last season that starts tomorrow (feb 2nd) Fish Biscuits!	Here is a link to a picture of my attempt at them :-) And here is a link to the person who deserves credit for the idea! and how to make them.
Men of Reddit, What do find to be the most successful way to "make a move". (The first one with a particular girl)	Do you preface the kiss with words? Start with hand-holding/touching? Do you have a signature line or method? Once the first kiss has been had, its so easy from there! This is the rough spot for me.
This is a weird question, I'm sure, but: when I do push-ups, I get a special tingle.	At the start of my yoga class we usually do a few push-ups to get the blood flowing. Just however many we're comfortable doing, a half-dozen or a dozen. During the down stage of each push-up, I get an intensely pleasurable feeling between my legs. I think in some way I'm contracting my pelvic floor... or something. It's a nice feeling, but I can't really enjoy it because it's in an inappropriate time and place, so it mostly just feels weird. I'm just wondering if this happens to anyone else, or if my vagina is haunted or something.
What's the Libertarian view on corporate monopolies?	Adam Smith, writer of "The Wealth of Nations" called monopolies "a great enemy to good management" because they drive out competition and effectively destroy capitalism. Marx thought that monopolies could be exploited by the government. As soon was one corporation completely took over a market, the government could effectively fuse with that corporation to form a Communist government.
Hey Reddit! I need your help finding a Ted Talk!	I saw it in one of my classes and now I completely forget who did it. What I do kinda remember is it was about the internet becoming more intricate and how it related to technology. Now that alone, can result in an endless amount of talks. But I will now help you narrow it down by telling you the man speaking wore an orange coat and had a mustache. If any of yous guys can help I would be very happy. Thanks in advance!
Where do you live? What do you pay?	Inspired by this thread, i'm curious as to the range of rents paid by redditors, and where they live. So how about it? What do you pay for rent? You got a pretty nice place there?
Anyone else worried about the future of Caprica?	Caprica's Ratings Slide Verges on the Apocolyptic I for one enjoy the pilot enough and really enjoyed the (albeit cheesy) first episode. It shows a lot of promise, has a great cast and seems to have a good balance of cyber punk-bent world building and character drama. I've heard later episodes really turn it up a notch, which tells me it will be pretty damn good judging by its start. Hopefully the ratings pick up and it doesn't go by the wayside. Knowing they were quick to kill BSG when it's ratings dropped doesn't leave me with too much hope. Thoughts? P.S. Yes, I know you didn't like the BSG finale. ;)
help my diet. Can't figure out what to do	Hey guys, Heres my deal. I'm 6'1, 185lbs and weight lift every day. My problem consists with my diet. I have these love handles that just wont go away. The rest of my body is pretty good besides my stupid genetic wide hips (thanks mom). With those hips i have love handles. My diet, if i use today for example - Breakfast - bowl of cereal + some protein cereal. Kashi i think Lunch - Chicken cutlet + water 2-3pmish - Chicken (breast) + rice and small cut potatoes Gym - Post gym (6pm) - Protein shake (2 scoops 100% gold standard whey) 9pm - Chicken (breast) +one cup rice ---no more food after (sleep & repeat) ----Note also that i strictly drink water. Almost a gallon a day If you want my gym routine, id gladly post it for some feedback because i'm sure that could use some touching up as well... Anyway, even though i think* i eat particularly well, i cant lose the fat. When/if i do cardio, i usually do 10-15mins of High interval training
Yet another reason why the iPad will fail - Tell me i'm not right !	1) Really limited in what can be connected and what it can connect to. I.e projector (without crazy attachments) 2) No Flash 3) It would be seriously hard typing on it laying on the couch with your legs stright. You would need your knees up and even then it could fall. 4) No webcam - No video conferencing 5) You have to hold it all the time to get a nice viewing angle. (a laptop you can lay it down and tilt the screen however you want) 6) You have to have another computer around to sync it. 7) No way to print 8) no way to connect external thumbdrives 9) battery - I mean serious ? no replaceable battery ? So in a year when you start getting only 2 hours on this thing.... what do you do then ? 10) You really need a case for it. if something hits the glass it will most likely break. 11) Limited in browser/mail/productivity client selection. (because of apple's no base function duplicate rule) I don't know do you really want this ? freakin get a netbook or a laptop.
Why is everyone assuming Apple’s ban on Flash is supposed to drive traffic to the app store?	It’s a glib explanation, but it doesn’t make sense to me, and here’s why. Crucial fact: * Nothing prevents you from installing web apps on the iPhone without going through the app store. The widespread assumption, as I understand it, is that banning Flash forces developers to rewrite their SWFs as iPhone apps, which can then only be distributed on the app store after receiving explicit approval from Apple. Right? The problem is, that only applies to “native” UIKit apps, because web apps have never been subject to this process of dictatorial control. And an HTML5 web app can do just about anything a Flash app can do (the only exception I know of is recording through the camera and mic, please correct me on this). It will usually do it faster and better, and it will install directly to the home screen just like anything from the app store. So if you’re porting a Flash app to the iPhone, you can avoid the approval process and charge whatever you like without giving a single penny to Apple. If you’re so inclined. Oh, I know, HTML5+JS in WebKit wasn’t always as capable as Flash. If you had a Flash app a couple years ago you wanted to port to the iPhone, you might’ve needed UIKit for some things, and you’d have had to submit to Apple’s approval process and distribution scheme. But remember, the app store didn’t even exist for the first year after the iPhone was released. Every third-party application was supposed to be a web app running under WebKit (exactly like Google’s vision for Chrome OS, incidentally). Developers were supposed to target open standards like scriptable SVG and <canvas>, not UIKit or Flash. That vision turned out to be premature, in 2007, because WebKit on iPhone OS 1.0 wasn’t quite up to the task. But now it’s 2010, WebKit and HTML have evolved, and you no longer need UIKit for the kind of animations and interactivity Flash provides. Moreover, on the desktop, the installed base of HTML5-capable browsers is growing. Software written to any device-specific API, including UIKit, is getting less relevant. So for the types of applications that use Flash, as well as many more complex apps, UIKit is already overkill and on the way out—do people think nobody at Apple realizes that? I’m not saying Apple doesn’t want developers writing for UIKit. The app store is profitable, for one thing, and the number of apps targeting UIKit provides a form of vendor lock-in. But here’s the specific point regarding Flash: * Keeping Flash off the iPhone has nothing to do with skimming off profits from the sale of iPhone apps, because you are perfectly free to sell non-Flash apps without going through Apple’s app store. I know Reddit as a whole has been suffering from collective retardation on this topic, but does that at least make sense to you folks? *** Things Flash can do that a web app can’t: * Camera and mic input * Realtime DSP * DRM What else?
Reddit, What are your tips and tricks to productivity?	I constantly find myself in an unproductive and lazy state most of the time, in fact so frequently, that it drives me insane. What do you guys do, to get you motivated, productive, and truly ambitious during your utter bouts of stagnancy? I need some Reddit counseling please... Edit - For the few responses I have received, Thank you!
[Offer] I will take a look at any collision repair estimate and tell you if the body shop is ripping you off.	I'm a NYS licensed Insurance Adjuster. I work for a fairly large Insurance company, I won't say which but it doesn't have cavemen or flo. If you show me a repair estimate I can tell you if what they wrote makes sense and is reasonable. If you show me pictures of the car I can better assess your damages. Labor rates do vary from state to state. I can't tell you who is at fault. I can answer basic questions regarding coverage, i.e. what falls under comprehensive, collision, liability, glass but again certain things vary state to state.
Greg asked what jobs I could get with a Computer Science degree. Can Reddit help me answer this question?	I was catching up with an old friend (Greg S) recently and he knew that I was in college, so he asked me what my major was. Computer Science, I told him. Then he asked me a question that, well, almost sounded dumb. What kind of jobs can you get with that degree? I rambled off a few things, but nothing stellar, nothing clear cut. So, Reddit maybe you've heard of a few jobs that are available for Computer Scientists and Computer Engineers. Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful. Any personal experience would also be great. If you once wrote a program that made you $6 million (lutusp) or one that made you 6 dollars, please share that also. Help me give Old Greg an answer as only Reddit can. Something we can all be proud of later, or ashamed of, either way.
I have a goReader... Any ideas on what to do with it? (More info inside)	I have an old goReader. It's basically a primitive tablet PC. (I've looked online for more info on it, and I found one page that supposedly described the product, but it was definitely describing something a little newer than the one I have.) The company has pretty much gone MIA. But, I want to do something with it. I know my ex (who left it at my house a few years ago) used to play a Command and Conquer type game on it. As it stands, I can use it as a reader (I have put a few books on it from projectgutenburg and it is decent for this application...) I want to see what (if anything) it is useful for. Here are some stats on it that I pulled from the system properties screen: 64mb memory, 1gb external card ("microdrive"?), processor type: Strong ARM, OS: Windows CE version 3.0 (build 126), Allocated storage memory: 32mb (can be bumped up to the full 64). I have the USB cord for it (one end is USB, the other end is some crazy thing that I have only ever seen on this product). It has some java builder on it called EVMconsole. I think this was put on there by my ex to make the C&C game work. It has a very responsive touch screen (it uses a stylus and is very accurate.) It would be great as a drawing tablet, but I don't know that the hardware could run any decent drawing program. The same hole that the external card goes in will also (supposedly) hold a wifi card, but I don't have one of those. (This thing is from around 2001, so I don't even think they use the same ones now.) EDIT: looking closer, there is a separate slot for the wifi/ethernet card. (I still don't have one, either way.) It's pretty much brand new. My ex played with it for a few weeks and forgot about it, and when we broke up it ended up staying here. It even still has the plastic cover on the screen! I realize that it has WAY less horse power than my Blackberry, so it's probably worth less than a paperweight, but I figured I'd ask and see if anyone had any ideas on this. I am pretty good with computers, but sometimes I think I know just enough to fuck something up good and not be able to fix it, so if you have a cool idea to mod it up all crazy, please try and help me understand how to do it right so I don't fuck this up. I'd like to see if it's useful as a drawing tablet (I'm in school for web design/development), or a portable karaoke machine type thing (it has mic & headphone jacks and built-in speakers), or anything else that would make it worth messing with. (besides the book reader thing... That's pretty cool, I guess).
Reddit, what are some awesome animals that are now extinct?	I think prehistoric beasts (mammals especially) are fascinating, and I would like to be aware of, and know more about them. I was considering excluding dinosaurs, since everybody already knows that dinosaurs are both awesome and extinct. But I don't want to miss out on the opportunity to learn about a sweet dinosaur I am unaware of. I will start: Cave bears. The Wikipedia page also indicates that they may have been worshiped by Neanderthals. Mastodons, although similar to elephants in appearance, aren't particularly closely related. Giant ground sloths]( were scaled up versions of their tree-dwelling cousins. [Megatherium was 20 ft when standing on its hind legs. Irish Elk had antlers that could span over 3.5m. I could have used its antlers as a roomy, if uncomfortable, bed. The Thunder Beast]( was a positively [bad ass rhino-type thing. There are so many more!!
[OFFER] I can assist with diagnosing car troubles/ giving solutions	I am an "Elm Shade" mechanic. I have worked primarily on Fords and Volvos, but I have worked on Jeeps and Chevys as well. Problem starting? Stalling out? I can at least narrow down the list of solutions and tell you what NOT to pay for at a mechanic to save you money. Note: You can PM, or better yet, post a thread here. BE SPECIFIC. Start with car make, model, year, and any other relevant information you can think of. Also include your climate, mileage, driving habits, and repair record (or lack of... I won't scold you.. too much.. but it is a valuable clue) and hopefully I can save you a few bucks! EDIT: Got a full day of work ahead of me, I'll get cracking on these later on!
TIL Sake is technically a type of beer.	I always thought sake was wine, but the fact that rice is a grain (obviously), and the process in which sake is brewed is similar to other beers makes it a clear, headless beer.
Reddit, I just had a terrifying conversation with a med school colleague.	As I was leaving the gym, I started some idle banter with another med school student about the upcoming rotation selection for our 3rd year. We talked about advantages of certain sites and such, and she brings up how she's really excited to go to a site in Oklahoma (St. Anthony's Hospital I believe it was.) When I asked her why, this is her explanation. "They have a faith-based approach. They really integrate spiritual healing into their practice, you know, like praying and laying hands on a patient.... You know, because we can't ignore the power of spiritual healing and God's power to heal people.... I mean, I want to be a trauma surgeon... sometimes you just have to realize that you can't do everything, and you just have to put it in God's hands... (comment from me about how I can't compartmentalize well and couldn't handle Emergency Medicine)... Well that's why it's good to have that knowledge about what happens to you after you die, so you don't have to worry about them, because they're with God." Maybe I'm overreacting, but to have that girl be my trauma surgeon scares me now. Anyone in Oklahoma confirm that approach to medicine? tl:dr - don't go to St. Anthony's hospital in OK. EDIT: Just did a 5 second google search. Holy Shit --> Confirmed. Look at the FIRST THING that stares you in the face when you go to their website.
Parents of Reddit: What funny stories do you love to repeat about your kids?	My parents never let me live down the time the huge scab from my badly skinned nose fell off and I threw a tantrum because they wouldnt let me bring it to school for "show and tell". Do you have any stories like that about your kids? And no posting pictures of your kids please. Lets all just enjoy the stories. Theres been too much drama on reddit lately :]
Reddit, have you ever tried out another gender identity online?	Online interactions are void of all physical cues. Unless communicated, there is almost no way to tell someone's gender, race, class, age, or appearance. So reddit, have you ever tried on another gender, race, identity, or social category? What was your experience like? Why did you decide to do so?
IAE worried that their reddit comments can basically tell their life story?	It's a little unsettling how much I think anyone can learn about me if they go through my posts. I don't post data-sensitive material, but I feel like someone could stalk me just by watching my comments.
I rehabilitate dogs, mostly pit bull terriers, for adoption, AmA.	My wife wanted to start fostering animals 1 year ago. It went from fostering a kitten, to having 2 pit bulls running around my house. We already have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a rabbit of our own. I have successfully socialized and trained at least one very dog and cat aggressive pit bull and she is still with us. She currently avoids other unstable dogs and licks kittens in submission. We have had no fights since we started with 5 pit bulls about 5 months ago. 3 have been adopted. Within the rescue organization we work with (about 300 foster animals), we are the only ones that take on pit bulls. Everyday in our town of 200,000 people, an average of 20 pit bulls are automatically euthanized, given no chance for adoption.
DAE get annoyed when people talk about how much they drink?	I don't know why, but it always frustrates me when people tell me about how much alcohol they've consumed. Am I supposed to think it's cool that you and all your friends got wasted? The only exception to this is one friend that's never affected by alcohol, which is kind of fascinating.
Ask Aviation: Anyone know of a good online logbook?	I hate the layout of logshare but I haven't found a free service that compares. Any thoughts?
What is a behaviorist's prospective on homosexuality?	When I was 19 I got into an argument with a fellow student who studied behaviorism. He didn't believe that homosexuality was legitimate because homosexuals don't pass on their genes therefore natural selection would have weeded out homosexuals and he believed that homosexuality occurs because of social circumstances. I am now 22 and still don't know how to refute that argument even though I know it is not true.
I'm wonder what the best course of action might be concerning my depression at this point.	I attempted suicide 6 years ago and have continued life since then, things have been mostly good since then but as of late thoughts have continued to trend downward. I thought maybe putting a few thoughts on paper might help but I'm not real convinced its a good thing but here are my thoughts on it. "The image that comes to my mind most often is being a moth and seeing so many moths flying around a light, they're drawn to it and obsessed with it, but I don't feel drawn in to that light. So often I don't feel that same wanting and desire. I don't feel like Im being pulled to keep wanting to be in that light like everyone else seems to. No one should need a reason to want life, it should be effortless and a given. Why should I try daily to bargain with myself to stick around? All at once it all feels like I could laugh about it, the absurdity of needing nothing but searching for hard for reasons, for things to need. I shouldn't need reasons I should just be content with being. I don't feel like I desire any pity or attention from others, very much the opposite. I've often thought if it happens again that I'd hate to inconvenience anyone, I'm sure it wouldnt be an easy thing for those that know me to deal with to begin with but I would hate to inconvenience them on top of whatever else they'd have to deal with. This is no fault of anyone. This is me and its me alone. There is no tipping point no last straw, no good reasons to do a stupid thing. It just is and it continues. It receeds and inevitably comes back so I wait for it. In this way I suppose I am a different sort of moth, one that cant seem to stay away from going away from that light. " What tends to worry me most is when these ideas come so easily, effortlessly and become normal. I really don't care to talk to my family about it, I feel its a worry I'd rather not put on them. I don't know if there's really any solution at this point beyond medication.
Dear Reddit, I was out late last night and I have to get up early tomorrow. Help me fall asleep.	Any suggestions? I'd warm me up a glass of milk but I don't have any. Also, I'm in a dorm room with a roommate, so no late-night lullaby-blasting either. EDIT: If there hasn't been any activity in this thread for a while, it probably means I'm asleep, in which case thank you all, but keep the tips coming. Might need it for another potentially sleepless night.
Reddit Karma Calculus: I posted a link, it got downvoted to zero (38 up 45 down) and yet my link karma went up by 20 points. What are your weird experiences with karma calculus?	The post is here. It seems that Reddit must be weighing upvotes and downvotes based on who gives them, perhaps based on your total karma; that's the only thing I can think of which would permit me to have a net gain on total karma when the link was a net loss vote-wise. Do you have any weird experiences with reddit karma?
What is something you have learned too late in life that you wish you knew earlier?	I am 20 years old and was hoping older reddit users could tell me things they have learned that they wish they knew at my age. EDIT: I didn't think I would get so many comments (I still don't get how I got so few upvotes though...) One of my favorite songs: It was originally a graduation speech. Some important lessons in there I think "The race is long, and in the end it is only with yourself"
[TOMT] The rope that holds up the guitar.	Ya know? goes around the back, attached to the guitar (or banjo or what have you) at either end...? Please help! edit: guitar strap. Thanks.
I'm getting laser eye surgery in a week, does anyone have any advice?	I'm going to be getting laser eye surgery in about a week, i'm kind of worried about it, the doctor has explained the surgery as much as he can but if anyone has any experiences they want to share about their experiences with having laser-eye, i'd really appreciate it. my girlfriend is really worried, what can i tell her to make her okay with it?
What do you American Redditors think of Canadian TV?	Do you ever watch any of our stations (CTV, CBC, MuchMusic, etc.), or our shows? I've always wondered what Americans thought of our programming.
What should I name my work netball team?	I have just started a new job at a law firm and I've been asked to join the mixed netball team (apparently because I'm tall I'm going to be good, despite the fact I've never played before.) I said that I would only be a part of the team if I got to pick our name. They agreed. So now I need ideas. There are no rules, other than keeping the suggestions PG. Wordplay and 80s/90s pop culture references are encouraged.
Looking for Penpal in Greater Boston Area to become awesome friends with so we can eventually explore the city together.	I board on campus at a private high school in Milton, and am very often stuck on campus during the weekends because the commute to the T is sometimes just too much of a hassle. I'd like to get to know some cool redditors around Boston so eventually we might be able to hang out sometime, grab a bite to eat at some hole in the wall restaurant, window shop at some indie store, listen to some underground bands perform, ect ect. Obviously I'd have to actually get to know you quite well before I go in any unmarked white vans, but hey, when you're dealing with a whole school filled with spoiled ignorant kids, you learn to take what you can get. My weekends will be way to boring otherwise. btw, love for marijuana optional. (seriously)
By the Japanese calendar today is 2222. Happy Palindrome day!	22年２月２日 I saw this post on the front page and thought it was interesting that over here it's also palindrome day. Mix in the time difference and we're both having p-day at the same time on different days. Enjoy!
Hey Reddit. I have to choose a topic for my English paper due soon and I need some solid ideas.	The paper has to be about current trends in our culture or global culture, also an interview is required of someone who is a participant in this trend. On top of all this you have to some how argue a point about your trend. I was going to write about the trend of people in our country giving up civil liberties and was planning on interviewing a political science professor who is an expert at my school but after a week and a half and only one reply from him it doesn't look like he is going to be responding to the rest of my emails i sent him. I have to interview someone very soon as the paper is due in a week. It doesn't necessarily have to be political kids are doing phones and music etc. Any ideas?
Can anyone recommend any good VBS.TV series?	I just saw the one on North Korea. I also liked the one where the hipster guy goes to the amazon and gets high on toads.
Tranceit you guys/gals are all awesome.	I love trance music like most of you who are in here. And thanks to you as a community I'm a moderator. I'm not a bureaucrat so please by all mean share whatever you think is relevant to this subreddit. Thanks again for voting me in, lets make this a great fun community.
Another question on Newtonian gravity	In high school, I learned the Newton's law of gravity. It said: "Every particle in the universe exerts a force on every other particle, the magnitude of which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them" But according to Einstein, gravity is not a force at all, but an effect of space time curvature(correct me if I am wrong here). Also, gravity waves are not faster than light, hence those particles which are farther to earth than where light has reached cannot be attracted by earth. So, was Newton wrong?
Anyone ever play the first person shooter vietcong? I loved that game, just wondering if anyone else did. I feel it never got the credit it deserved.	Vietcong was intense. It is the only game to date that I've played where multiplayer was genuinly frightening and the single player campaign was absolutely incredible. You could cross entire maps (on multiplayer) without being spotted, you could get sniped out of fucking nowhere and never even see your enemy. I remember one map with a river running through it - absolutely the best map I've ever played in a first person shooter. That was the only game where I could crawl along a shallow river bed with enemies running right by and not noticing. I heard the next Call of Duty is going to be set in Vietnam and that's what inspired me to make this post, sadly I can see it getting even more arcade like than MW2, as seems to be the general of new CoD games. (How awesome was COD2? especially the dedicated realism servers on the pc...)
DAE go a little bit crazy when they think no-one else is looking?	When I think no-one else is around (mostly at work), I often throw my arms around, dance around, use all the musles in my body, basically go nuts for 15 seconds, I find it relieves tension and stress ....then I go back to my seat at work as though nothing happened! Never been seen yet :)
Spirituality of a homosexual	So, I've recently just come out of my self-denial about my homosexuality. After I decided to accept myself and to be pround of who and what I am, I did some research into the history of homosexuality in societies that weren't Eurocentric in viewpoint. What I found: Joseph Campbell in the Power of Myth stated that Native Americans revered homosexuals because they believer they were people with two spirits. BAM! This hit me especially hard because it described how I have felt my entire life. When I was in high school I thought I might be a schizophrenic or something like that, but I've always been fully functional, excelling socially, in sports, academically and have had a pretty good life until I realized who I was decided to deny it for a period of time. I've always been a psychonaut, diving deep into my own spirituality and I'd been running into a wall repeatedly the past year or so because of my self-denial. From what I have read and deduced from my own experiences in life, I believe that I, spiritually, am the unity of a man and a woman. Two in one, if you will. Is there anyone else that fits this mold out there? Do you think most (or maybe even all?) homosexuals are this way? Do you have any insight you could share with me and everyone else here?
I feel as though the next thing Reddit needs for the store is stickers.	Think about it, having a nice 4 inch alien on your laptop would be so awesome. Bumper stickers, too, would be quite cool... Who agrees? Anybody have the means to make it happen?
/r/Anarchism's ABC's of Anarchism	I will post the 26 letters of the alphabet. Reply to my replies with entries for those letters, ala a children's book. Please don't upvote my comments; I think if they stay at +1/-0 they'll stay in the correct order, sorted by time. If that fails, try to keep them in the correct order. In my view, these entries should be written in simple english, utilizing a minimum of jargon. But that's just my view. This is a response to this submission, which is a version of this concept that many /r/anarchists felt very lacking. Edit: To utilize reddit's voting most effectively, try to keep entries (as in X is for X) in replies to the top-level comment. If you post an edited version of a previous comment, please reply to the comment you edited with a link to your version - this will let us track how entries change over time.
Five Boro Bike Tour: Team Reddit?	I, along with a few other Redditors, are registering to participate in the Five Boro Bike Tour in NYC on May 2, 2010. Here is the video from last year's event. This got me thinking. Would Reddit consider sponsoring a cycling team for this event? If Reddit will sponsor a ten person team we can qualify for discounted VIP passes which include food, special treatment and a frontline start!
DAE leave a store without buying anything, and have a sense of dread that the alarm will go off, and somehow some merchandise is in your pocket?	i always think i may have inadvertently put something in my pocket, because i'm absent minded sometimes. i always pat my pockets before walking through the security gates. edit: i realized i get the same feeling when i go to the airport and walk through their security gates. like i forgot i was carrying a gun, or had a pound of heroin stuffed in my carry-on (even though i almost never do). i just have a guilty conscience, i guess.
HAE re-watched the same mediocre movie over and over but can't explain why they like it so much?	I've seen Grandma's Boy a million times. I'm watching it now, and I can quote about every line, but my wife just laughs at me every time I put it on. It's funny, but it's not really funny enough to watch 100 times.
New to the City, Looking for Roommate [Logan Square/March 1]	My name is kevin, I have a degree in fine arts/design, i am pretty into music, like riding my bike, play most sports, like good film and literature, and enjoy going out for a drink on the weekends. I am generally pretty laid-back and easy to get along with. looking for someone with similar interests to mine, need to move in on or before, but not much later than March 1. Looking for $350-$400 my share ($700-$800). Either I'd join them or we'd find a space. PM me if you know anyone who is interested, i'm new to the city so don't know too many people who are looking as well. tl;dr Need a cool roommate by march 1 for $800 logan square digs. Either to move in with or find a place with.
I have a bunch of cool text. I want to make a gift. How?	Redditors have repeatedly surprised me with their creativity... so just wondering if anybody more creative-minded than myself can help me out? I have a bunch of text with special relevance to another person, and I want to make a gift of it... but I want to do something a bit more creative than a printed T-shirt... Any suggestions?
So, r/trees/, tell me about your dealer	How did you meet them? Any interesting quirks? My dealer is a semi-homeless Rastafarian I met almost by accident. I saw him begging and I was looking for new dealers since my last one had left town. I slipped this guy a few bucks and asked him if he knew where was a good place around town and his eyes lit up. Ever since that day he has been hooking me up. For someone that even I was judgmental of at first, he turned out to be a very well spoken and interesting guy who sort of got screwed over by the job market out here (if you are from STL you know what I mean).
Seems like the US is now medaling with China's affairs. Do you think its possible that this could lead to a hostility from China similar to that experienced in the Middle East?	The US has medaled with many different regions of the world, sometimes winning more enemies than friends. A classic example is the Middle East. Now, with the US arms trade with Taiwan, and this warning from the Chinese, do you think the US will start becoming unpopular with the Chinese, possibly ending up in a full fledge war? Just curious as to what is next PS- Sorry, English is not my first language.
Reddit, how do you feel about your friends staying friends with your ex?	I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on this subject? I'm asking because I'm in a situation right now where I had a pretty messy break up and my friends are still friends with me ex. I don't think it really bothers me that much, partly because I'm still friends with a lot more of her friends than she is with mine. However, part of me still does get bothered when I find out my friend was just talking with her. Like I said, just wondering about your thoughts on the subject!
