Here's what's actually in the NASA 2011 Budget

Initially, I was fairly upset at about the cancellation of the Constellation program, and the news media along with some politicians made it seem like it would be the beginning of the end for the United States space program. Shock and surprise, however, the 2011 NASA budget has been grossly misrepresented in the media. The above link is to a PDF outlining the plan for NASA funding over the course of the next several years (monetary values in all charts are in millions of dollars). Here's what's getting funding: * Extensive research into new technologies making space-flight more efficient and cost effective * Robotic precursor missions to the Moon, Mars, Lagrange points, etc. to gauge what will be necessary for manned exploration of Mars and asteroids. * Research into new heavy-lift and propulsion technologies * Opening up LEO to private industry * Working with and encouraging private industry to develop new technologies that will advance space flight * Retirement of the shuttle program and revamping the Kennedy Space Center (!) * Extension of the ISS and attempting to utilize it to its full potential * More extensive climate change research * Research into "green" aviation So NASA isn't giving up on space exploration, and it isn't just handing things over to private industry (it's merely going to incorporate it more). In fact, space exploration efforts will see an increase in funding by several billion dollars over the course of the next five years. Meanwhile, private industry will help advance efforts in LEO so that NASA can focus on the things that are most important (and the long term goals that corporations probably won't touch yet). The Constellation program is canceled but it has been replaced by a program that is likely far more cost-effective and realistic. From the PDF: "Most important, we are not ending our ambitions to explore space. In order to explore new frontiers, we are launching a vigorous new technology development and test program that will pursue game-changing technology development that can take us further and faster and more affordably into space." EDIT: grammar

She says she can't watch my tourist pictures of London because she can't register her (foreign) creditcard with her provider, and because of that she can't prove to be 18+. WTF? They're just on my Flickr-account, i never heard of something like that...

DAE get really annoyed that the 21st century breaks the year-naming pattern?

I mean, I get kind of pissed when anyone says "two thousand ten" rather than "twenty-ten." Does nobody else notice that this is the same as saying "One thousand nine hundred ninety eight" instead of "nineteen-ninety eight? Even worse is when someone says "two thousand AND ten," which is just the wrong way to say numbers.

Under what circumstance(s) could somebody ask you to erase your existing photos in your camera?

Today, a movie was being filmed outside where I work, and when the star of the film came out, my mom took a picture of him with her camera. When one of the star's entourage (for lack of a better word) members saw this, he immediately came over to my mom and asked her to go into her camera and erase the photo(s). Just curious - did he have any legal right to do that? Or is it just a courtesy thing? If it helps, there weren't any signs or notices that said "no flash photography." Also, when somebody in the crowd asked why we couldn't take pictures, one of the crew members just said that "[actor's name] doesn't want his pictures taken."

Weird long-term effects of Salvia while high on marijuana?

Okay, so before I start, I want to say that I've been banned from six different MJ/Salvia related forums posting this same exact post because without a reason why. I created a throwaway account just in case this happens here, which I highly doubt. It's not ban worthy I think. Anyway, a little back story. I smoked Salvia for the first time around October 2009. Not going to explain the trip but towards the end, it felt like my hands and feet would morph into parts of my body; it gave off this "tingly" sensation which lasted about 30 minutes after the effects wore off. Ever since then, I get the same "tingly" sensation I got after smoking Salvia whenever I get stoned. But, instead of just my hands and feet, it's my entire body. It doesn't feel bad or anything. Kind of like you have goosebumps all over but the goosebumps amplify the feeling of anything you touch. Before this, nothing this physical would happen to me. Awesome right? Well no, not awesome for me. I used to smoke weed and drive all the time (not recommended) but now it is IMPOSSIBLE. I can't feel if I'm hitting the gas or the brakes and that freaks me the fuck out. I've stopped driving while high since then. Not only that, but walking is hard too. The "tingly" feeling shoots up from my feet all the way up to my quads instantly and almost feels like it's trying to immobilize me. Basically, all I can do is sit and relax. I don't know how to explain it any better than that. Has anything similar happened to anyone else?

Distances between random points on a sphere?

I was talking with a friend yesterday about distances between m uniformly randomly generated unit vectors, and we found ourselves unable to answer a few basic-seeming questions. Can anyone help? - What's the expected distance between two points? - What's the expected distance between a random vector and its nearest neighbor? - What's the probability that A is B's nearest neighbor and B is A's nearest neighbor? edit: Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant a hypersphere in R^n, not just in R^3. edit (ii): Thanks to wnoise for a dimension-index formula for the expected distance. It converges to Sqrt[2] as dimensionality grows.

Do you find managing DNS records confusing? If so, why and how would you improve it?

I'm rather comfortable with the DNS protocol and DNS servers (e.g., I discovered the $1000 security hole in djbdns, so managing DNS records feels pretty intuitive to me. However, I know a lot of smart developers that can build really impressive web apps yet still find DNS confusing. Now DNS as a protocol isn't _that_ conceptually different from HTTP (send a request, receive a response; intermediaries can cache data), and yet while HTTP servers have evolved significantly since their introduction, DNS servers have largely remained the same. (Admittedly, part of that's because HTTP clients are significantly more advanced nowadays, but DNS clients haven't changed much either.) So anyway, I think it'd be awesome to build a DNS hosting service that people actually enjoy using (similar to how there were a bunch of decent image hosting services, but now reddit loves to use imgur). I'd love to hear if people had examples of what they've found difficult and/or tedious about managing their DNS records and any ideas on how to simplify it, or if they're content with how things are.

They want to take my kids!

TLDR: I'm worried about losing my kids, can anyone help clarify Colorado's living code and is it possible to request a different Human Services worker. I have 2 little girls (a five year old with Autism and a 3 year old). A human services worker came to my place today and criticized the smell, appearance, and decoration of my apartment. There is a general 'cat' smell because I have two cats that have been living here (I'm moving them back to my boyfriend's). She criticized how messy the place. The place is cluttered but I am careful not to have any food items or toxic substances laying about. One of her favorite adjectives seemed to be 'inappropriate' which she used to describe the finger painting on the walls, the fact that a non working computer was unaesthetically organized, and a couple books that were resting on a chair instead of the bookshelf. I'm cleaning all day today and will continue to do so until she comes back tomorrow but I was wondering if the only option is the one I chose today which is sit in quiet fear that she might take away my kids. I obviously have no problem with someone looking out for my children but I don't want to lose them or have to deal with this one lady for too long because she disagrees with how I decorate or how anal I am about 'orderliness'. Thanking you in advance

I have been struggling to lose 10-12 lbs. with every trick in the book and NOTHING'S working!!!! (The kicker-everyone says "you're so small, but my thighs and my butt look like a fucking train wreck)

So, I'm a 5'2'' female that's always been really healthy and a gym bunny and all that. But I got back together with my old flame, and we went out to eat alot and such and I packed on 12 pounds in two months!!! On Dec. 26th, I weighed 125! Which is too much on my small frame and it's all concentrated in a gelatenous (sp) trainwreck of cellulite on my butt and thighs. I got off 5 lbs. but here it is Feb. 3 and I weigh 119 still!!! I have cut back, cut out, going to the gym 5 days a week and doing cardio! Nothing's changed! My upper body and tummy look great but down below is fucked up. Is this what happens when women turn 32? Ahhhh. I am so frustrated.

What is one movie you absolutely hate and everyone else loves? I'll go first...

Taken. To put it in perspective, I hadn't seen a single advertisement for this but I just kept hearing how great it was so I went and saw it about 3 weeks after it came out. I hate this movie so much I can't even properly put it into words. There are so many glaring plot holes it astounds me that this is so highly rated. They could (and should) have added 20-30 minutes to this movie and I would have loved it. Look, I get it, Liam Neeson is a badass. He blows everything up and kills everyone. That doesnt make it a good movie. If anyone is interested, here is a far better movie.

Reddit, do you think we should add some trophies that the common man (or woman) has a chance of winning?

This was discussed briefly somewhere else, and I think it deserves its own topic. The point is, Reddit could use some more easily attainable trophies because: * The average Redditor is not, nor will they ever be, a calendar girl. * The average Redditor will never have the lightning strike of insight/luck which will enable to get them a 'best comment' award. * The average Redditor does not possess the insane style of creativity required to get the 'most inciteful' award. * etc, etc. Pick any award (except the yearly ones). Most of us will never come close to winning them because we're mostly lazy, kinda talentless, and don't make up for it with great fortune. **And that's OK**. It applies to me, too. So here's some Joe Sixpack type awards that would be awesome to see added. More suggestions are welcome: * **Tarred and Feathered** - Comment rated below -15 * **Get the Rope** - Comment rated below -30 * **Meme Master** - (Thanks to Mapguy for the idea) - Successful (20 or more upvotes) use of a Reddit-wide accepted meme. Trophy appearances can differ - A picture perfect application of "And my Axe" will land you a different looking trophy than a well-played, "You're doing it wrong". * **Mr. Mediocre** - 50 consecutive comments with none of them being rated above a +10 or below -5 * **I Got Nothing** - Upvoting/Downvoting 100+ comments/links in a row without making any kind of post whatsoever. * **STFU** - A post/link which has more than 50 overall votes, and most of them must be downvotes. What do you think? Should we add some trophies for the masses? **EDIT** Changed comment about 'Most Inciteful Award'. I learned something today. Those who throw the word 'Douchebag' around idly must take care that they do not sound like douchebags themselves.

A leg question that's been bugging me for years.

I started really lifting about 2 years ago, after losing 40 lbs from Boxing. The lifting has been on and off ever since i started, but I read M&F and /r/fitness everyday, so I'm not really a novice or inexperienced. But I've never been able to figure out how much to do for my legs. I figured at first to treat it like the rest: fry those muscles. But, with legs, I always seem to do too much or not enough. My school has no elevators. I like doing jump rope or burpees for cardio. and, oh yeah, I walk. So, no matter what, the next day my legs are on fire and stay like that for a week. The question is, in your experience, how much is just enough for legs day?

Signals that she likes me in the more than friends way?

Okay usually I'm the one giving advice, but to be honest I could use a little help on this one. I can tell when a strange new girl is into me, or is freaked out, or is bored, or is drunk (lol), whatever... But here is a girl who was a friend of mine in high school (I'm 24 now), although we never knew each other that well, just hung out in groups. Now that we're in the same place, I think we are looking at each other in THAT way, you know, more than friends... But I can't tell if she's just comfortable because I was her friend then (so I'm still a harmless young boy now?), also she is very friendly to people in general, male or female. Anyway I get the feeling that she has been pursuing me, inviting me to things and occasionally sending me a text or e-mail. Finally I picked up on the idea that maybe she's into me, so I decided to properly date her. Only having experience dating girls whom I met with the intention of getting to know in the "more than friends" capacity, I have no idea how to bridge the gap between the "friends" zone (where she knew me before, years ago), and the new "attraction" zone that I want her to be in now. Tips? Edit: I never hit on her or asked her out in high school, it just honestly never occurred to me, I was busy with other girls/pursuits.

eff it. I've been considering this for a while, but I'll post it now. My own personal naughty list.

RoboBama, I'm looking at you. You received (I dare say) **the most awesome** present from a certain redditor with very similar interests to you. He sent you a few messages on reddit asking for a photo of it **because he commisioned it to be made for you and had never seen the item in question himself**. After a lengthy while, you confirm receipt and that you are excited. You get gift, presumably get to enjoy gift, and not only do you not let me see some photos of it (I can understand why you might not post this particular gift to the redditgifts site), it would appear (and be confirmed by your lack of a secret santa trophy) that you shafted your santee. so, fuck it. I know it's february now, and I know that you won't be able to fuck someone else over next year, unless you move....but I'm pissed. Also, disappointed that there is not a public naughty list as promised (but kickme444 and 5days, I **totally** understand why this was not implemented). EDIT: The bright side to this story is that my other santee, who was formerly a lurker, is now a full-blown user (I believe, thanks to SS).

[7] I was at a [10] a little while ago..

After smoking in a circle with three pipes, two bongs, and 15 people, I took a sit down. After chilling for 15 minutes or so when I decide to stand up, this was a bad idea. I stood up and my vision went crazy! I could only see the outlines of people and it was all multicolored and like I was underwater. So I very quickly sit back down and chill out. After another ten minutes of sitting the cottonmouth kicked in. It was like the fucking sahara desert in my mouth. Just one problem, I completely forgot how to use my legs. They were pure jello! No matter how much brain power I used I couldn't remember how to use my legs. It took me another 20 minutes of watching mind-numbing youtube videos before I could stand. Then I got the most fucking dank-ass pizza and Dr. Pepper combo from the fridge. I have to stop here because the keyboard is making a really loud clicking noise when I type...

Please tell me I did the right thing, Reddit!

I created an account because this is bothering me so much! I'm new at this, sorry if it's not in the right place. Here's the story, there's a couple who live in the apartment above my boyfriend and I. They fight almost daily, I've never heard people fight like they do. They throw things, we can hear things breaking, stomping up and down the halls and the most part of their screaming conversations. Tonight they got into a pretty huge fight and I heard the girl eventually yell "Don't you dare fucking hit me again!" then she screamed and ran down the hall into what would be their master bedroom. The guy yelled "FUCK YOU" and stomped after her. It freaked me out, I figured he was beating her so I called 911. Two cops came and they talked to the people upstairs for about 15 minutes and left. The boyfriend comes downstairs and apologizes to me, almost in tears, for all the noise and said it will never happen again and all that jazz. So tell me Reddit, did I do the right thing? I feel terrible for some reason, since the girl was probably not hurt, I'm guessing, and the boyfriend was so nice to me. TL;DR- I heard a couple fighting and what could have been the boyfriend beating the crap out of the girl, I called the cops. Girl must have been fine and the cops left. Did I do the right thing?

She did stitch it up, but poked at me for not trashing this one and buying a new set, because the new ones would cost just $5. I didn't say anything to her, but I felt sad because I don't want to waste anything. The pant was fine except for the growing tear in that area. Moreover, am I being cheap here?

I'm self-employed and today I lost my last contract. Tonight my wife and I are celebrating. Here's why...

I got my first *real* job during the dot-com bust. I thought I'd finally made it, and then the layoffs started. I quickly realized that good things can end without warning so it's best to act accordingly. Ten years later (age 35), we're debt-free with a good chunk of change in the bank (we could live for about 5 years without needing to work). Even though it sucks to lose a good (and basically our sole) source of income during a time when replacing it will be difficult, tonight we're celebrating that the decisions we've made to live within our means have put us in a place where we don't need to freak out. I'm not trying to sound like an arrogant prick. I'm sharing this because sometimes it's tough to keep living within your means, especially when times are good, and I hope this will help you be confident that you're doing the right thing and that the sacrifices are worth it. You will be very glad you did at some point later on. Cheers! EDIT: BTW, one of the best things I did was make a New Year's resolution in 2009 to buy nothing new - only second-hand. That does two important things: 1) Removes the ability to buy things because you just want immediate gratification (most things you really, really want aren't on Craigslist), and 2) Saves you a shitload of money. Now it's just habit - I hate the idea of actually buying something new unless there's a really good reason, like supporting a local business that I really like.

DAE wish there was age restrictions on voter registration?

Every time I watch the news there's some leathery old gnome voted in by pensioners screwing up the world for the next generation. I'm sick of politics being dominated by a demographic whose only interest is getting young people to pay enough taxes to fund their pension. People whose grandchildren have a better grasp of how the internet works are trying to censor it. Politicians who've never picked up a video game blame GTA and Left 4 Dead for the street violence that apparently just didn't happen in the Good Old Days. Baby boomers who got their university education for free are the ones blocking reforms to make it harder for low-income students to get higher education. Career politicians with decades of business connections under their belts continually fail to have any meaningful environmental reforms to protect industry growth. Older generations cling desperately to their prejudice and privilege, denying minorities basic human rights. Let's pretend for a second that voting actually does make a difference in modern democracy. People under 18 aren't allowed to vote so their interests are never going to be of value to politicians, even if they work, drive, pay taxes and have children. In my country voting is compulsory for everyone over 18, but change the system so you have the *choice* to vote from 15, and apolitical idiots won't be forced to fill out their ballot but young people will still have a chance to make a difference . Then ban anyone over retirement age from voting. Force politicians out of office once they turn 50. Then we can smoke, drink, play FPS and sex eachother up in whatever manner we choose.

I have always tried to be an avid supporter of Israel, as a Jew. However, in the past few months I have seen them use white phosphorus, extreme force, and policies similar to apartheid. I've always said that they only do that because the Palestinians do it but that kind of childish excuse has grown to be too much for me to bear. I don't want the reputation of all Jews affected by a state that does these things. What questions should I ask my rabbi?

Ask Web Design: Why do you hate Comic Sans?

I'm often told by self-proclaimed font fanatics, that they hate Comic Sans. However, when *pressed* they can give me no good reason Please don't]( [link]( [me]( [somewhere]( [you]( [don't]( [know]( [where]( [ive]( [been]( [Lou! Some of these people had good points, like that the spacing/kerning is off. The point that it is overused doesn't jive well with the stats for web. For instance, this self-selected and thus invalid but still informative survey ranks Comic Sans all the way down at 10th. How about you show me some places on the top trafficked websites where Comic Sans is used extensively, cause yeah I'm not seeing it. My interaction with a designer (I'm a developer for the most part), Me: "What do you think of Comic Sans?" Them: "I hate it" Me: "Could you be more specific" Them: "I don't like it." Me: "Ok but why?" Them: "Just don't be one of those people we pick on for using Comic Sans ok?" All this for wanting to use Comic Sans in one place where the client requested a unique looking font for a header. The client was happy with it, but the designer wasn't. I can guarantee the vast majority of my users don't give a hoot what the font is as long as they can read it. So what are your actual reasons for hating it? Eh and since has gotten so long I will post this to my blog as well but not linking cause this isn't blogspam just a genuine question.

What do you think of a Bachelor and Master in Bioengineering and a PhD in Industrial?

Hello newly found sub-reddit! I need some advice/words of encouragement. I will be graduating this May with my Master of Bioengineering. As there are very few jobs out there (especially entry-level), I'm looking to get my PhD as something to do. I'm an excellent student. For many reasons (the main one being my denial and laziness in applying to schools), I only plan on applying to my current school, which does not have a Bio PhD program. I think Mechanical is the obvious second choice. But, I really enjoy math, efficiency studies, and management... would Industrial Engineering be a strange match with my Biomedical background?

anyone else get this kind of lag?

I guess lag is the right word, but doesnt work in the traditional sense, ive only ever seen it in other BF games. Its lag like you see someone else lag, but yourself, so you will do something, then get corrected by the server. For example, you can zoom in, it will zoom in and then less than half a second later zoom out again like the server missed the zoom in command and said 'no, i dont show you as being zoomed in'. Similar thing with selecting weapons, you select another weapon, it will change to it, then change back straight away. Also zoomed in, if you are moving in a direction, it will sometimes jerk back to where you were previously. Im playing on AU servers in AU so lag shouldnt be an issue, but it doesnt detract from gameplay that much, just annoying sometimes.

I have noticed where I live (north of Kansas City, MO) they have been adding cameras either directly to the side of the interstate or between the lanes.

Does this question make any sense to you? [Organic Chemistry]

Q) Work out the numbering system for the benzene ring in toluene. Firstly, if this does make sense to you, can you please explain what is meant by "numbering system"? The way I understand it is that the benzene ring in toluene does not have any "numbering". Instead, the groups coming off the benzene ring would have numbers. With the case of toluene, CH3 would be the single group putting it in position 1. As it's the only group, it does not require a number. Is this correct?

Do you use alt text or an image replacement technique for image-based text?

I usually take an element (say h3 for example) make it display:block, set the background image to the picture and indent the text to something like -2000em... in other words, image replacement technique. Is this not appropriate anywhere? I only use alt to describe photos, I always figured this way was more semantic.

Does anyone know a cheaper way to change the date on some tickets with Orbitz? I'm going to Free Culture X with four friends and we made a huge mistake...

So, dear Reddit. Please, someone here has to know of a way they can help us. We're the Puerto Rican chapter of Free Culture (FC@UPRM/Puerto Rico), and five of us were going to leave Puerto Rico on the 12'th, and return to Puerto Rico on the 15'th. This was so we could participate in all the conferences and activities in Washington D.C., Free Culture X. Our president made a small mistake and booked the flight for the 13'th instead of the 12'th, we called them up today (only 4 days after we booked the flight), and they want $180 (per person) to change the day to the 12'th. This ends up coming up at $900. We already asked a company to pay for our tickets, and we made a promise with them to give some conferences on what we learned during FCX. Free Culture is going to send up $850 for all the other expenses, so we were thinking of taking those $850, adding $50 and changing the tickets. But before we do this, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of a cheaper way to get it done. We're all college students. And there are other costs to consider: Food, hotel, taxi/train/subway, etc. If anyone knows of a way we can get a better price, please post it here. All help is appreciated. We don't want to ask for money, there are places that are much more in need (Haiti, for example), but we want to try and get the price change at least a bit lower, in order to be able to handle the expenses a bit better. Any Orbitz/US Airways worker that can help? tl;dr: Orbitz is nailing us with $180/person to change our flight to one day longer. Is there any way to get this done for cheaper?

American Ents - Call it cannabis.

I was just thinking, Your country is going through a lot of changes with regards to weed. I see though that most people refer to it as Marijuana. I think it odd that the name be used so often by both sides when it is a slang name used as propaganda. Cannabis is serious, a lot of people rely upon it. Call it, its proper name. Who knows, maybe people will be more open to legalise plants of the Cannabis Sativa variety instead of this evil plant, marijuana they keep hearing about.

Video ownage db - repost from /r/politics

The concept: An application for mobile phones for delivering extremely quickly a short video clip of a person making a claim. This would be used for calling out lies about a person's past claims. The usage scenario: Citizen Carlos heads to a town hall featuring Senator Shady. Before the town hall, Carlos types Shady's name into the ownageDB app on his iPhone. During the townhall, Shady lies about his support for the Iraq War. Carlos types 'Iraq War' into the ownageDB app. The app shows a list of quotations by Shady about the Iraq War, along with the dates that they were made. Carlos stands and says to Shady, "On this date, you said this about the Iraq War:", hits play, and holds the iPhone up to the microphone. Ownage ensues. Awesome? Useful? Retarded?

What shape do you see the US economy forming over the next few years?

I have noticed that as opposed to the r/politics section, many in the r/libertarian reddit are well versed in economics and historical outcomes of various economic systems. I would like to gain your perspectives on where the US is heading economically over the next couple of years. Will unemployment continue to hover around 20% (the real unemployment rate is usually double to "official" rate)? Will the dollar retain some stability or will it near a crash? Do you personally have a positive or negative outlook for your own financial situation over the next few years? If you work for an employer, what are your salary/promotion prospects or lack thereof on your horizon? Do you own a business or plan to start one? If you already have one will you hire or lay off employees? ..and anything else you would like to add to the discussion..

I just handed my parents a book on Aspergers, any help Reddit?

Throwaway account here, because I don't feel like using the main. I've been researching this for quite some time, and I've come to a very close conclusion believing I have Asperger's Syndrome. I'm 19 years old. When I was still in elementary school, I was professionally diagnosed with ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). Something that for years I always never felt was entirely correct. It was always missing something. Anyways. I never knew how to explain it, and still don't. I approached them with a book on the subject written by a non-aspergers writer, and asked them to at least read the beginning. I could use some words of inspiration or some kind of encouragement if possible. My parents don't know the 'real' me at all, and trying to explain a lot of this is going to be difficult when there are signs of Asperger's I have gone to great lengths to make them unaware of. Thanks.

Looking for 80s Music Videos With a Specific Cheesy Effect. Help?

Ok so I'm editing a commercial for Fender...No not actually, it's an assignment. There is an effect I've sort of edited in but I don't know if it applies well to the featured artist. I remember seeing this effect in old music videos, I think the effect was mostly used with metal music. This effect would basically have a close up shot of let's say a guitarist or maybe just his hands strumming the guitar on the left side of the screen, and in the right side of the screen in the background you'd see the guitarist in a wide shot. The effect would basically make it seems like the same person playing the same part of the song is in the same space, both close to the camera and far away. It's kinda cheesy and kinda cool! [Or possibly doing something different.] It's a basically a superimposed shot frame in such a way that the layers aren't on top of each other. It would be awesome if someone could either tell me what bands did this in which of their music videos or even better, provide a YouTube link. Thanks! EDIT: Could also be 70's metal...actually any genre applies I just need as many examples of this as possible.

I found this secret code while geocaching. What could it mean?

I was geochaching, which is basically a worldwide GPS based scavenger hunt. If you don't- you should. Anyway, the cache we were looking for was a tupperware container. While looking for it, I happened to find what appeared to be another cache stuck underneath a bridge. it was in a magnetic container about the size of my pinky nail. However, I opened it to realize that it wasn't a cache at all. Instead, it contained what appeared to be a coded message. It wasn't listed as a geocache on the website, and it didn't contain the typical list of names of people who had found it. instead, it simply had this message: 6D40-6B1B-A7EE-4A9E-B0AE-5096-1725-2B42 I immediately thought to ask you guys. So how 'bout it? what could it mean? here are pics: <a href="" title="Hosted by imgur.com"> <a href="" title="Hosted by imgur.com"> second image should be rotated 90 degrees to the right. Left is up. EDIT: Here is the link to the original cache i was looking for. Edit: here is a map to where i found it. it was under the east st paul bridge across the street from the milwaukee public market. Edit: I dont' think its a multicache. Several of us (thanks anthropolgy_nerd!) have been looking, and no multi-caches in the area fit this pattern. I've done most- but not all- of the milwaukee based caches, and nothing looks connected to this. EDIT: GOING TO BED. thanks for all your help. Never could have imagined this much response. I'll be back on the case tomorrow when i wake up. WHEN. NOT IF. If anyone lives in the area, feel free to investigate yourself and take some pictures to share with the rest of the class. EDIT: I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED by groundspeak- the people in charge of geocaching.com. They are looking into the matter, and I will pass on any information (and windows xp codes) I receive to you guys. UPDATE: No official comment from groundspeak. But they pointed me in the right direction, and seem to agree with what others have said- mainly that no multicache can be within 528 feet of another cache, so I shouldn't have stumbled upon one while looking for another. Think of that what you will. UPDATE: I went back, and put in a note for them to contact us. Check out updated pics of the note and the location.

Reddit, I fucked up bad..I need help to get my friends back.

It first started with sexual encounters (Not actual sex, BJ's and stuff) with a close friend. About a week later we kind of quickly jumped into anal. I asked him, he said yes so we did it. Through the entire time I kept asking him if he wanted to stop, or slow down. He said no. Afterwords though I kind of like freaked horrible out for no real reason, I still don't know why I did that. I told him I was leaving, and just left. I texted another close friend, who knew of our mutual sex and said some things that made me look like the victim which I was still in a state of shock. The friend I had sex with talked to my other close friend about it and now they're both angry at me, which they should be. I fucked up, I tried to apologize multiple times to the friend, he at least I think accepted it, but said that even though he did consent to it, he felt used and only did that with me to make me feel happy. (When in fact I only continued because he said yes, the whole experience was a bit to nerve racking for me..Not to mention we didn't use a condom because he got too frustrated trying to do me with one, I ended up doing him but he had no condoms my size. Now he's been around, that sounds mean but it's true, he rarely used condoms too. Which made me very nervous even though we both were clean I guess that's why I was so shocked afterwords but he feels so now horribly used and I feel like theres nothing I can do to help correct that, or offer my support. I mean they both mean so much to my life, and I'm not just saying that, I mean it. They're closer than anyone in my life. I just wish I've never started with the sexual encounters in the first place. I just hope things can go back to the way they were. Note: I may have missed a few details, I'm a very very emotional person and writing this was horribly hard for me, I'm not completely in a straight mindset right now. I've also sent a copy of this post to one of my friends in hope that any additional details I've missed will maybe clear some things up..Hopefully.

Mythbusters to receive award from Harvard atheist student group: event open to public

The Harvard Secular Society is a group of atheist/agnostic/humanist undergrads at Harvard University. For the past 3 years, we have awarded a prominent cultural humanist with the Lifetime Achievement in Cultural Humanism Award. It has been awarded to Salman Rushdie, author of Satanic Verses and fatwa recipient; Greg Graffin, lead singer of Bad Religion and UCLA prof; and Joss Whedon, head writer of TV shows including Buffy, Firefly, and Dollhouse. This year, we're giving it to the Mythbusters. Through their TV show, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman show the world that beliefs should be put to the test using rational thought and experimentation. xkcd says it better than I ever could. They will be coming to Harvard on April 16th. The event will be open to the public. Proceeds from the ticket sales go to the Humanist Chaplaincy here at Harvard; we'll do all sorts of awesome atheist things with it.

Feeling really tired all of a sudden. D:

Things were going alright until this fatigue hit me like a brick wall today. I'm not really feeling overtly sad or cloudy mentally and I slept for a good 8 hours last night, but I can barely stay awake. I've probably spent a good 5 or 6 hours today napping. I do have a couple of exams (Multi-variable Calculus & Differential Equations if you're curious) on Friday that I'm nervous about, and today was to be a big study day for me. But I haven't gotten a thing done. I guess I'm much more nervous than I realize. The more and more I think about it, the more I understand why I might be feeling so tired, but it really did creep up on me. :( Has any one else been blindsided by this sort of extreme fatigue? It reminds me of the months I was so tired due to depression I had to take medical leave from school a couple years back.

IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE: My brother Evan just told my parents he smokes weed.

After "dropping out" of college, getting arrested last year, spending all their money, and having a really hard time finding a job, my brother came out of the smoke filled closet today to my parents. Apparently there was a commercial on TV about teaching your kids to not use marijuana, and my dad said something along the lines of "Evan, don't do drugs". To which Evan replied, "Well, I do". After some pretty harsh yelling/cussing/crying they kind of came to grips with it and calmed down. I went into the room singing about ManBabies]( and got some weird looks before I asked, "What's going on in here?" Then I used big words like decriminalization that I think calmed my parents down even more - at least to a point now where they're talking about watching [The Union. Who knows? Any tips on how I should approach my understanding and educated parents or how to help my idiot brother?
