The one feature the iPad is really missing. | I don't care about the lack of camera. I never use the one on my MacBook, and even if I did the angle would be terrible on the iPad.

Dear Sydney Reddit'ers, Would you like any changes made to the style of this subreddit? | I was going to subtly edit the style of the Sydney subreddit but then I found this post and realised that people have very strong opinions about how their reddit should look.

I skipped bail, ran away, and never got caught. AM(A)A. | Long/short story, I went to work in the United States in the last 90s and was busted in a major drug raid. I risked up to lifetime in jail if caught since I was associated with so many crimes; at the bare minimum, said my attorney, I was looking at 7 years in jail, and much more likely more than this.
My attorney said I was in a lot of trouble. He was the first to bring it up. I did not want to lose 10, 15 or 25 years of my life in jail, especially at my age. Since I was not a United States citizen, I should simply skip bail and run away. And never come back.
My bail was initially supposed to be $300,000 but my attorney managed to get the judge to set a final bail of $100,000. He explained I was a trustworthy person, lawfully employed, who never did anything wrong and never committed any crime. He portrayed me as someone trustworthy and intelligent who could take care of his responsibilities. The judge agreed and decided on a very low bail, especially for the crimes I was accused of. I still did not have so much money and had to hire a bondsman, who agreed to cover my bail for $15,000. It took three days to manage to get the money to pay both him and my attorney (I had to pay my attorney, or he would have revealed my plan to authorities).
I got as much cash as I could, as quickly as I could, mostly pawning most of my stuff (even some stuff I was not done paying), and getting away with a simple bag. I had no passport (confiscated), but a few friends on the not-so-right side of the law. It costed me quite a bit, but I was able to take someone's identity long enough to make it back to a country next to mine, and then take a train to my country. I destroyed evidence and promptly reported to my government, got a new passport and, very quickly, a new job. I never came back to the United States or even thought about going back there.
Last time I heard about the people who were arrested along with me, they were all convicted, and in jail. I consider myself very lucky, and happy. I've been living for over 10 years now happily and freely. It's crazy to think I could have spent this last decade in jail. I consider couldn't even imagine what my life would have looked like had I been convicted. It's crazy to spend so much of your life in jail, all due to a stupid mistake. I don't make excuses for my crime, but I do smile thinking about it. I've never been extraded/harassed in any way or shape (not even from the bondsman).

Programmers, do you put your comments (before|after) the related code? | Inspired by:
In the several years I've been writing code, I have never seen someone write comments after code until that comment. The thought of doing that had never occurred to me either.
On reading the comment's code snippet, it seemed to make more sense to me having the comment after the code. Ie, "here's the code, now we'll explain" instead of "here's what's going on, now here's the code".

[TOMT] Animated movie (warning: very vague) | The main character is female and it was animated, maybe Disney. I had the play-doh set of it in the mid 90s, but I think it's older.

Does anyone else subscribe to the "Trickle down theory" of personal hygiene? | Now lemme preface: I dont do this EVERY time I shower, but probably 3/5 times.

It got me thinking a lot about who I am and what are my ideal world views. I feel like there is a lot more, now, than ever before that I agree with in the analysis about the world works.
I feel kind of weird finding a lot of solace in the words of Marx. I think I am going to expand my socialist/communist reading.

But really, is the internet in the U.S. that bad? I mean, I have Comcast. I just ran a speedtest and got a ping of 53ms, downspeed of 23.03Mb/s, and upspeed of 3.00Mb/s. Admittedly, it's a good day for internet speed, but I rarely get below 12Mb/s downspeed. I don't download media illegally. I enjoy Hulu and Youtube. I play MMORPG's and download Linux CD images. Sometimes I download or torrent games and updates legally, and it takes a little patience, but I don't mind. But for consumer internet, I have no complaints with my speed.
I don't know. I got first got the internet when I was in early grade school, back in the early 90's, before anyone else I knew got it. My ISP was IDT. THAT was slow internet. A WEBSITE with PICTURES? You'd be waiting a few minutes.

BEEP | The second text directly addresses the question by providing examples of non-cliché answering machine messages commonly used in movies.

Need some wisdom. Got in my first accident, a hit & run, Friday night. | Its my first accident. The other driver ran a red and hit me in the intersection. Luckily I wasn't injured but none of the other cars at the intersection stopped to make sure everything was fine or stay and be witnesses. The other driver never even stopped his car. I flagged down another car and got them to follow before he completely disappeared. He only went a block away, so I got the license plate number and the police found the car soon after.
Now, I don't know anything about the other driver. I don't have his insurance info and I only have liability since I'm a college student and the car wasn't worth a lot (92 Jeep Cherokee). I think its totaled and I won't be able to replace it until (if) I get some money. Pretty much the only thing the officer told me was they found the car, they have a suspect and an investigator should call me this week.
I don't know how soon any of this will be settled or what I should be doing now. Can the reddit community offer me any advice or wisdom? | Text 2 elaborates on the accident described in Text 1. It provides details about the hit-and-run, including the other driver's actions, the lack of witnesses, the police involvement, and the user's current situation.

Please help me figure out why it's so tough for me to connect to Valve games. It's driving me insane. | 4 times out of 5, when I try to connect to a Valve game (TF2, L4D, L4D2), I'll be able to join a game lobby with no problem whatsoever. Then, once the game starts, the progress bar will stay at 5% and say "Failed to connect after 10 retries". This really sucks when I'm trying to play with clanmates or whatnot and can never connect to their god damn server.
Sometimes, after I get that message, I restart my computer, restart my router and modem, and then there's maybe a 30% chance of the connection succeeding.
I have forwarded ports 27000-27050 on TCP/UDP to 192.168.1.3 on my router.
Settings:
Windows Vista
connected by cable to Netgear WGR614 v9 wireless router
Router is connected to Zoom Cable modem
I can connect to the internet just fine otherwise, it's only when actually connecting to a game that it fails.

DAE have a dog that burried something gross in your bed? | I have the cutest little 12lb bichon frise dog,named Lilly. However, she has lately done this most disturbing thing: buring her 'treasures' in my bed! Sometimes we find them in other parts of the house, under other beds, but she chooses to physically put them under my covers! I find them when I pull the covers down, so she has to pull the covers down, place the treasure there, and then pull the covers back up over them! I have found, now for the 2nd time, a horrifying site in my bed of 'buried' food! The first time was when she got into some BBQ rib bones in the trash while we were gone, and then she hid them UNDER my covers! It was so horrifying! Then, tonight, I got home, and found my bed messed up, and then I tentatively pulled back the covers to find (uncooked) RAMEN NOODLES under the covers! Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is she hiding them for herself, or for me I wonder..? What stories do you have? | The second text directly answers the question posed in the first text. It describes a personal experience where the author's dog buries gross items (food) in the bed, mirroring the scenario presented in the initial question.

A point about fine-tuning of the universe | Fine-tuning is often brought up by theologians as an evidence of God's existence. I can respond to anyone who uses this argument in several different ways and I believe that you guys are able to do so too, but I have thought of this new (as far as I know) refutation (or explanation) some days ago and I thought I'd share it with you.
so Theologians would say that god is the reason why the constants of the universe are fine-tuned, but what if the constants are the way they are because they are only "results" of an underling mechanism of the universe. A good example of my argument would be the mathematical constant pi, I think it is safe to say that if pi was different by only (10^-1000)% we would not have perfect circles in the universe. Of course, as most of you would point out, circles (perfect ones to be exact) do not depend on the value of pi, it is pi that depends circles. I hope I made it clear enough. | The second text elaborates on the concept of fine-tuning, introduced in the first text. It presents a specific argument about the fine-tuning of the universe, often used by theologians, and offers a counter-argument based on the underlying mechanisms of the universe, using the example of pi. |
Dear Reddit, what is the nicest thing you have done for your parents recently? | Considering they raised us, fed us and gave us place to live for many years, it seems fitting that we try to give something back to them. What have you done recently for your parents?
Personally, I'm still young and am still living at home (only for another few weeks until I move out for university), but ever since we've lived at this current house, our garden has been a shambles.

I'm still not finished and have many hours of work still to do but I think it'll definitely be worth it. | The second text directly answers the question posed in the first text.

I'm in the market for a Subaru Impreza and I'm seeking advice. | I've been looking for Imprezas (RS or a WRX/tame STi). I'm in the northeast, specifically Rochester NY, NW CT, or Southeast MA areas. I saw this modified 2004 Impreza on Craigslist in NH close to a friend of mine. I'm interested in it but it's at the very top of my price range and I'm wary of the modifications, and mileage.

Thank you all for the valuable input, it's still appreciated for my overall Subie search. | The second text directly responds to the first by providing context for the Impreza search. It details the user's specific search criteria (RS, WRX, STi), geographic location, and a specific potential purchase. The user seeks advice on what questions to ask the seller, directly addressing the initial request for advice. |
Dear, Reddit. What's your favorite cheese? | I worked at a grocery store deli growing up, and I sampled a few different kinds.

Dear Reddit, what are your hobbies? | I'm currently between school and work and sitting alone in my apartment while all my friends are at school playing video games is starting to get extremely repetitive and boring.
I've realized I need to pick up some hobbies to occupy my time. So, reddit, tell me what you do. | Text 2 directly addresses the question in Text 1.

[Offer] Round 2: I'll transcribe a song for you on Guitar/Bass | The first offer garnered a lot of responses so I thought I'd try again. I replied to a few requests in the comments and sent out about 10 tabs through PM's. Sorry if I didn't get to your song - there were way more requests than I could possibly keep up with. Feel free to re-request in here.
This time I'm going to simplify things. I will tab/transcribe the chords for any song that you can't find the music for online, but I'd like to stick with simpler songs. The idea behind this is to help novice musicians - I had some requests last time for intricate guitar solos, which says to me the person is either trolling or just too lazy to figure it out on their own so I'm not going to waste my time. If you can't figure out a 10 minute guitar solo on your own you probably won't be able to play it anyways, even given a tab.
That being said I will do my best to figure out the chords to any song you might like to play/sing along with. Last time I figured out some piano based music and transcribed it for guitar, and I am willing to do that again.
EDIT: Before requesting a song Google it. There's no need for me to tab something when it's already available. | The second text elaborates on the initial offer. It explains the context of the offer (Round 2), the response to the first offer, and the conditions and limitations for the current offer, such as focusing on simpler songs and encouraging users to search online first. |
Hey reddit, how big is your TV? | Mine is 37" 720p. Bought about a year ago by my wife when I was deployed to Afghanistan. I had never had any thing bigger than a 19" CRT, so at first this TV was awesome. Since she bought it we have moved to a larger house. The living room is pretty huge so our couch sits quite a bit away from the TV, which is makes it smaller. Anyway, I was thinking about getting a bigger one and wanted to know what the average is.

It then elaborates on the TV's features, purchase context, and the user's experience, while also re-iterating the original question to solicit further responses. |
Solving for a function with variable as both linear term and in the exponent? | I feel somewhat embarrassed to ask but I'm struggling to remember a lot of my basic high school calculus.
I have a basic exponential function a*b^t, and wanted to solve for when the integral of it matches a certain value, In other words:
c = a/(t+1)*b^(t+1)
put in another form, the problem I'm basically trying to solve is:
x = ab^x
I suppose I could resort back to Newton's method if I need to but is there any way to solve this otherwise? | The second text directly addresses the question by providing a specific mathematical problem where a variable appears both linearly and in the exponent. It elaborates on the problem by presenting an exponential function and its integral, ultimately leading to the equation x = ab^x, which aligns with the initial query. |
Dear Indian Redditors, Please don't hate us. Signed, the non-bogan population of Australia. | We're really not bad, it's just a few rotten bogan apples that are giving us a bad name. After reading this article I'm becoming embarrassed to be called an Australian. This really isn't us. So please, don't lump us together with the halfwit, racist, bogans that make up a small number of us. | The second text elaborates on the first by explaining the 'us' referred to in the initial statement. It clarifies that the 'non-bogan population' is asking for forgiveness due to the actions of a small, negative group ('bogan apples') and emphasizes the desire to be seen favorably by Indian Redditors. |
I quit drinking soda cold turkey. I'm on day 5. | After reading this thread and the comments under it, I decided to stop drinking sodas as an attempt to begin living healthier. I kept the rules simple: drink nothing I consider to be a soda. Not the most precise way of going about it, but this included a carbonated, sugary drinks laden with HFCS and caffeine.
I was a total addict. I would drink about 3 or more cans a day of soda, usually Coke or Dr Pepper. I would feel shitty and upset until I got a soda at lunch, which would make me feel wonderful. I loved the way it tasted, I loved the way my lunch tasted with it.
Even though I am skinny, I was afraid that if my metabolism started slowing down, so much soda meant I would quickly pack on weight. Also, with the ridiculous amounts of sugar, diabetes was always a scary but real danger. So I decided begin a healthy revolution for myself by not drinking sodas.
Day one went without incident. I grabbed a metal bottle and filled it with water, and this bottle has followed me throughout. I drank water for lunch and meals, but I wasn't particularly thirsty the whole day. I missed the taste of soda. I started getting a headache by the end of the day.
Day two was terrible. I was tired, and felt disconnected from reality. I had a constant headache, and it got worse throughout the day. Anti-headache medicines could not fight my body's wrath at the sudden starvation of sugar and caffeine. In a desperate effort to stave off headaches, I got some coffee to see if my body would take the peace offering of caffeine through a medium that isn't soda. This made things worse, as soon I found myself shaking (as coffee usually makes me do) and I still had a headache. I shook myself to sleep.
Day three might have been the worst. My headaches from day two carried over, but were dulled a bit. Some excedrin kept them away for a bit. But while in my blessed excedrin-high, I decided to get some sexual release, and I was slammed with the worst headache of my life. I could feel this headache bearing down on the top of my head, like nothing I had ever felt before. I tried to sleep, but laying down didn't seem to stop this monster of a headache. I eventually got to sleep, and when I woke up, the typical dull headaches were back. My body was not happy with me.
Day four was better. I had even lesser headaches, and some advil seemed to end them one hundred percent. I started actually being thirsty for water, and not just drinking it at meals because I am American and I have to drink *something* at meals. I drank water and enjoyed it. As the night went on, my headaches seemed to go away.
And here I am, living through day five. I haven't had a headache today, and I've had my trusty metal water bottle by my side to keep me hydrated. I didn't talk to any doctors or nutritionists before doing this, and some redditors may find some things that I did very wrong, but I feel like I achieved my goal. I'm hoping as time goes on, I'll feel healthier. My eating habits aren't particularly stellar, but this is a good place to start. | The second text describes the author's experience of quitting soda, mirroring the first text's statement about quitting soda.

Okay /r/geek, I've got a case of house-like proportions... | I built myself a new computer this Christmas, and it's been running great. However, in the past week it's developed this slowly oscillating vibrating sound. It's only curious because it's such a slowly growing and diminishing noise.
tl;dr Here's a recording, could anyone have a brainblast and try and identify what this noise could be? | The second text provides a detailed description of a problem, including a specific noise and its characteristics, which is a direct elaboration on the initial statement about a 'case of house-like proportions'.

Anyone out there in the vast-ness of our world have any local sayings/words/phrases? | Where I'm from we call soda, Coke. I hear in other parts they call it Drink, Soda, Pop, or even tonic. Oh yeah, EVERYONE here also calls this place a shithole.
I was wondering if there were anymore of these little phrases where you all are from.

A different way to "wake-up" the nexus one? | I just got my n1 today! I have tons of questions, but the main one is "is there a way to wake-up the N1 without having to press that top sleep button again?"
Like I want to just click the trackball or touch the screen and the screen lights up for me to unlock. But it makes me press the sleep button at the top to turn the screen on.

[0] Something I've noticed when it comes to why r/Trees is better than r/Marijuana | I'm subscribed to both Trees and Marijuana and I've seen this type of comment very often, whether it's because of a picture like the one in the link or just a stoner comment that someone decided to post. I find that it's really stupid to say stuff like that because whether we like it or not, the stoner stereotype exists. Pretending that it doesn't exist and insulting those who subscribe to the stereotype is detrimental to the marijuana community.
I don't understand what people who make/agree to those comments want in the world. Do they want every stoner to disappear from public? Are we supposed to reveal our marijuana use only if we're people with a disease that's alleviated by smoking weed? Wanting to do so is to want to twist reality and information, which is exactly what happened with marijuana when the government were/is trying to scare people away from it. Do they want this to happen again?
This is why I like Trees so much. We embrace the stoner stereotype and we're chill. I love you guuuuuuuuyyyyysss. | The second text provides a detailed explanation of why the author prefers r/Trees over r/Marijuana. It elaborates on the perceived differences in community culture, specifically highlighting the embrace of the 'stoner stereotype' in r/Trees, which contrasts with the author's negative view of how r/Marijuana handles the same stereotype. |
Shreddit, do you have a favorite gimmick to go along with your metal? | A lyrical gimmick, silly fashion statements, corpsepaint, some little musical thing? I, personally, am a big fan of lyrics based on literature, especially when those lyrics happen to be focused on H.P. Lovecraft/The Cthulhu mythos or Lord of the Rings. It only makes me happier when it goes beyond the lyrics, too (Like with Summoning for Lord of the Rings, or Portal for the Cthulhu mythos.). | The second text directly answers the question by listing various 'gimmicks' and then detailing the speaker's favorite: lyrics based on literature, specifically Lovecraft and Lord of the Rings. It provides examples of bands that utilize these themes, thus elaborating on the preferred gimmick. |
Reddit have you ever read a book that changed your life? What book and how did it change your life? | I am posting this in an effort to find a really great book to read and maybe shake this rut I've been in before my first child is born in 4 months. Oddly enough I just realized the only book that changed my life was Catcher in the Rye. I know realize I will probably get a lot of people saying the same or thinking I posted the question in honour of J.D. Salinger, but I'd love to get some non-catcher suggestions. I've considered reading it again but somehow I don't think it will have the same effect on a 32 year old as it did on a 12 year old (and again at at around 16ish). Actually I'm a little worried reading it as an adult I might enjoy it much less and ruin the memory I have had of it for so long. Anyway looking forward to some interesting suggestion. | The second text directly answers the question posed in the first text. It identifies a book ('Catcher in the Rye') that changed the author's life and provides context on why and how it had an impact. The response also seeks further book recommendations, aligning with the initial query's intent. |
Holy shit, I found some hash...I think? | Long story short. I lived in Germany for a while, then moved back to the States, and found a baggie of what I think was my friend's hash in a box of old clothes. It's probably 2.5 years old, and hard. I've never smoked hash before. Here are a few pics: 1]( [2
Is it even safe? If so, what method should I use? By myself, or with people? How much should I smoke? Anybody ever have any experience with this Amsterdam shop? Is it any good anymore? Anyone want to come over?
I went to the website printed, but it's not there anymore. | The second text elaborates on the first by providing context and details about the discovery of hash. It explains the circumstances of finding the hash, its age, and the user's inexperience. It also poses questions related to its safety, usage, and potential experiences with it, directly following up on the initial statement. |
Collectors - What do you collect and why? | Curious why we collect things. I have collected various things over the years. Currently I collect die-cast cars - mainly because I love cars, but the urge/need to have all of something seems to take over. I have several hundred of them (of all scales), but have run out of room to display them, so I have stopped.

I figure it's probably a long shot, though, but I may as well try. | The second text elaborates on the first by providing context and details related to the question. It explains the reason for needing the book, mentions the possibility of an online version, and expresses the user's desire for a downloadable format like a PDF, directly addressing the initial query about downloading the book. |
Public laundry: taking out other people's clothes if the machine is done? | What's the decorum here? I have an idea for timers that keep counting when the laundry is done, so you don't take out somebody's clothes that just finished. There should at least be a 30-60min grace period for laundry- if you have to take other people's out. Personally I just wait it out. I think throwing peoples wet clothes on other dusty machines or a table is defeating the purpose of washing clothes. | The second text directly addresses the question posed in the first text. It explores the etiquette of removing other people's laundry from a public machine, proposing solutions like timers and grace periods to avoid doing so. It also expresses a personal preference for waiting and critiques the practice of moving wet clothes. |
the first half of the Pro Bowl is over. Does anyone else feel that there is no competition between teams here? | I am aware that everyone isn't running at 100% here, but I am seeing Defensive lineman just give up after a few seconds of the play. It almost seems like the players were told not to hit the QB at all! | The second text elaborates on the lack of competition observed in the first text. It provides specific examples of the players' behavior, such as defensive linemen giving up and not hitting the quarterback, to support the claim that there is no real competition in the Pro Bowl. |
Did the movie The Book of Eli piss anyone else off? | So I saw this movie and even though it was predictable what it was about I was hoping for some sort of twist at the end. Pissed me off the ending did... here is how it went...
*ATTENTION SPOILER ALERT IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW DON'T READ ANY FURTHER, you have been warned*
Okay so its in an apocalyptic world, I don't remember any explanation as to what caused the war but since they said people burned all the bibles I can only guess it was a religious war. Okay so you've got Eli, a loner traveling "west" who has the last fucking bible in the world(assumption) and it seems to make him a bad ass motherfucking soldier of god who seems immune to bullets almost. That alone is enough to piss me off, way to go asshole keep one of the most fucked up, hypocritical, terrifyingly nonsensical books alive to promote future delusion and bigotry.
My friend stated that wasn't his intention that he wanted to do the opposite to keep its memory alive so that people can see the danger of such beliefs, but no its obvious that wasn't the message of the movie because the guy who memorized the fucking bible is the strongest, the most righteous person in the world. whats further annoying is the scene where Mila Kunis(damn shes hot but it was a bit of a turnoff seeing her in this character) so he teaches her about prayer and god a little bit, and her life seems to have more depth and meaning since. The antagonist who actually sees the bible for what it is, a tool of enslavement, I'm guessing hes the evil and stupid atheist aye. Oh and Eli turns out to be blind, dies at the museum where the fucker preserves the damn thing, and Solara I'm guessing is leaving to spread the message that or to my best guess to go save her mom.
This concludes my rant. Probably stupid but hey just felt bored and wanted to post something. | The second text directly answers the question by expressing the author's negative reaction to the movie 'The Book of Eli'. It details specific aspects of the film that caused this negative reaction, providing a clear and detailed explanation of the author's dissatisfaction with the movie's plot and themes, thus aligning with the initial question. |
The Grammy's Are A Bad, Unfunny, Embarrassing, Stupid, Joke | I think the Grammy's used to have substance. In 1976, Stevie Wonder and Chick Corea were among the winners.
By the 2000s, we have Macy Gray, Greenday, and Justin Timberlake winning. I don't care if you like their music, there is absolutely nothing special about them. | The second text supports the first by providing specific examples to illustrate the decline in quality and substance of the Grammy Awards. It contrasts the winners of the past with those of the 2000s, implicitly agreeing with the initial negative assessment. |
Would you rather drown to death or die of thirst? | For whatever reason, you find yourself in a sticky situation where you have to choose between a quick but panic-filled drowning or a long, slow, painful death by thirst.

It also expands on the topic by mentioning the Mac Pro and specific processor models, maintaining the focus on Apple laptops. |
An anecdote from someone new to beer snobbery | Today I went the supermarket across the street from my apartment to get some beer, they have a surprisingly wide selection. I remember seeing someone a week or two ago saying their Scottish (?) father always spoke poorly about American beers until he had a select few. I remember seeing Arrogant Bastard Ale on the list of beers that turned him and discovered today it was sold by the pint at the supermarket (which is called Food Dimensions, by the way.) So I bought one pint of it (it's a bit pricey) and a 6 pack of PBR pints because it's cheap and I like it.
The ABA was warm so I popped it in the fridge and drank one of the cold PBRs. When I was done, I cracked open the Arrogant Bastard and *hot damn* that stuff is good! Now I have 5 pints of PBR that taste like garbage by comparison.
So, /r/Beer, what are some other American brewed beers that can be found with relative ease? I'm willing to try any variety. If the list runs short on American beers start naming off some of your import (or export) favorites.
*edit*
I live in Brooklyn. | The second text provides a personal account of a new beer enthusiast's experience, which directly relates to the title's focus on an anecdote about someone new to beer snobbery.

Hard-on of shame?
Some of the IAMAs I read include stories of abuse where I know it's just wrong and I should be empathic or outraged, but sometimes it's hottt.

TIL that measuring flour for biscuits is an art and best done by weight (108g/cup). | For those who are trying do economize by making food from scratch there is a right way to measure flour. If you do it wrong everything you make will be rock hard. Scoop the flour out and gently pour it into the measuring cup until it overflows. Scrap the excess off with a knife being careful not to pack or tap the measuring cup. Doing it this way should yield 108g of flour per cup. Doing it by just scooping and tapping will yield 156g of flour per cup, biscuits that don't rise and flour tasting cookies. Bon appétit! | The second text elaborates on the first by explaining the importance of measuring flour by weight for biscuit-making. It provides a detailed method for achieving the correct weight (108g/cup) and contrasts it with an incorrect method that leads to undesirable results, directly supporting the initial TIL. |

What is the shell of your reader made of? | I am considering picking up an e-reader, but above all other aspects like DRM control, or price... I need to know what the shell is made of. Much like my iPod, or the last Blackberry I had, I cannot really hold them because they have metal surfaces and parts on them.

Integrate the comment preview function of the reddit toolbar into the Socialite extension. | I've been using Chrome and FF interchangeably for a while now, and loved the socialite extension. However, given it's unavailability on Chrome*, I've had to enable the "show links with reddit toolbar" option.

It highlights the desired functionality (comment preview) and the user's workaround, directly addressing the integration request.

Reddit, my husband won't have sex with me... | I've tried to work this out by talking to him, as well as just shrugging it off, and it has gotten me nowhere. Reddit, it's starting to take its toll on me, and I need advice on how to handle this.
Our relationship has been absolutely wonderful; There is 100% trust and honesty, we're completely in love and happy together, and up until about 5-6 months ago (we married 3 months ago), it was beautifully expressed in the bedroom. Frequently.
Our marriage was not consummated until days after our honeymoon (though I sure as hell tried). Also, it has been three weeks since our last sexual encounter and he has not once even *hinted* that he was interested in having sex with me. I really appreciate that he reminds me - several times a day, even - how attracted he is to me, but I need physical reassurance from him. When I hint, make gestures, or ask if he wants to have sex, he turns it down. We take showers together occasionally, and that never even seems to faze him. There's never a reason or excuse as to why. Sometimes he offers to give me oral instead, but I know it's out of guilt or pity, so I never agree. I won't enjoy it as much if it seems like a chore to him. When I'm feeling frisky, I'll give him head, but it's rarely reciprocated and it never leads to sex.
I am just stumped by this "problem". He's a healthy, happy 23 year old. He's not depressed or on any medication, and I know for a fact that he is not cheating on me. As I stated earlier, we have a very solid foundation. (if you're still skeptical: we recently moved to another state, so there is nobody to cheat on me with anyway.)
Even though I know how stupid this sounds, but the more he refuses, the more I feel as if he doesn't find me sexually appealing anymore. I've *always* been confident on my appearances, but to have my new spouse not want to touch me is pretty upsetting. Do you guys or girls have any idea what is going on here? Have any of you experienced this?
EDIT:: Thank you thank you thank you. Many of you have been extremely helpful. I will be giving a lot of thought into the advice I've been given.
I just want to clear up a couple things.
1) We had sex regularly before the marriage, up until a couple months before. We just hadn't made the marriage complete -hence consummated- until days days after the honeymoon.
2) Still. I stick by the no-cheating thing. I am unemployed, he has work a few times a week. Other than that, we are both home with each other. He doesn't spend time on a computer.. the only one we have is my laptop and he hardly uses it. If I were to ever doubt it, I know his passwords.
3) He's not gay. And I am not naive to this type of thing. Also: I have not gotten fat. I am 5'2 and ~100lbs. Nor is he a shallow person.
4) I will get to replying to some of you, but I have some errands to run. | The second text elaborates on the first by providing details about the situation. It describes the poster's attempts to address the issue, the history of their relationship, the lack of physical intimacy, and the poster's feelings and concerns. It seeks advice on how to handle the problem. |
How should I approach my girlfriend about blowjobs? | I feel really childish and selfish for asking this question, but the truth is that although I'm a 23 year old male who has been going out with my girlfriend since high-school began, I have yet to receive oral sex from her.
We have sex regularly and she enjoys it as much if not more than I do. We've crossed many barriers in our relationship and I have kept honesty first.
However, I can't seem to figure out how to approach her about getting a blowjob. I don't want her to think I'm selfish, and although conversations have began (of her own accord) regarding "returning the favor" those conversations end quickly and she forgets them.
It would help to mention that when she was little she was raped by a close family member, so she may be scared (or something) of blowjobs. She's alluded to this many times as being the reason but her responses aren't sufficient.
Am I being a jerk for wanting something in return? Should I just ignore it and move on, or should I approach her about it? How can I do it without seeming like a total dick?
EDIT: Thanks, reddit. I got the advice I think I needed. | The second text directly addresses the question posed in the first text. It provides a detailed account of the user's situation, including their relationship context, concerns, and the specific issue of how to initiate a conversation about oral sex.

How do you respond to violence? | Personally, I maintain a philosophy of pacifism that is deeply rooted in my faith. I'm not to interested in discussing my feelings, though I will if anyone really cares. I'm really interested in your answers to these questions:
1. How would you respond to violence personally?
2. Would you participate in a war?
3. Would you ever kill someone?
4. How does Christianity influence your answers? | The second text directly answers the question in the first text by stating a personal response to violence (pacifism). It then elaborates by offering further context about the speaker's beliefs and posing related questions to the original questioner, expanding the scope of the initial query. |
Dragonman in Colorado (What do you guys think?) | Dragonman is a purveyor of guns in Colorado Springs. I live in Colorado. I haven't been to the guy's place but the cheesiness of his website and videos turn me off although I can sort of see how he is just having fun. I was wondering what you guys think. | The second text directly addresses the first by providing information about 'Dragonman' in Colorado, answering the implied question of 'What do you guys think?' The text describes Dragonman's business, offers a personal opinion, and acknowledges the original poster's query, thus providing a relevant and responsive elaboration. |
Anyone want to give some good 'finding a job' tips to a soon-to-be-minted CS degree holder? | I'm approaching the end of my junior year of college. I already have a really nice job with serious responsibilities that is completely unrelated to software engineering.
Should I try really hard to get an internship for the summer and abandon my job, or is intern experience irrelevant? Does anyone have any links to good resume writing for software engineers? Should I find an open source project and start contributing immediately? How does the job market look for those starting out? I have met a couple young software engineers and they seem to be doing OK, at least compared to a finance friend who is working at Walmart =(
I attend a very good school and will most likely end with 3.2-3.5 GPA and a second degree in Latin. | The second text provides a response to the initial query. It details the user's situation as a soon-to-be CS graduate, seeking job-finding advice. The response includes questions about internships, resume writing, open-source contributions, and the job market, all directly relevant to the original request for job-seeking tips. |
Have you ever pondered if Obama's whole being a Christian thing is a big political charade? | I mean most highly educated academics tend to be either agnostic or atheists, and he is one of them. If you read his books you'll learn that he only embraced Christianity through the United Church (the most liberal church) in his early thirties, before then he was an agnostic. I've always thought that the whole Christianity thing was a political move on his part. I certainly don't blame him, seeing that most americans would never vote for someone who describes himself as an atheist or an agnostic. But is something that has always been in my mind. Any thoughts?
Edit1: I submitted my question on the askreddit subreddit in order to get a broader audience and thus broaden the discussion.
Edit2: I know its not that much proof on my contention that most highly educated academics are either agnostic of atheist but this graph seems to somewhat back up my claim. (Thanks to thesteeeve for the link) | The second text directly addresses the question in the first text. It provides a perspective on Obama's religious affiliation, suggesting it might be a political strategy. It elaborates on this by mentioning his background, education, and the perceived political advantages of identifying as Christian in the US. |

I've got movie block...any suggestions? | Dear fellow redditors,
I'm bored witless and I'd like to watch a good flick tonight, but no clue what.
Do you have a favorite movie or have you seen anything worth watching lately?
Add: Sweet, thanks for all the suggestions. Think I'm going to start with Pandorum. | The second text is a valid continuation of the first.

Anybody else find it hard to open a game after they buy it? | I don't know if I'm weird or what, but every time I get a new game I ponder for a while before opening it (unless it's something I've been really anticipating). Sometimes I'll be nervous that it won't be worth the money and I won't be able to return it after I open it for something better, or if I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it I might hesitate because I know how much time I'm going to waste for the next couple of weeks. Right now I'm staring at Mass Effect 2, concerned I'm going to disregard anything I need to do and just vid for a week straight. I obviously play on consoles, but if I used a computer I'm sure I would stare at the Steam website for hours before deciding to buy anything. Anybody else have this problem? | The second text directly addresses the question in the first text. It elaborates on the feeling of hesitation before opening a newly purchased game, providing personal reasons and examples for this behavior. The text shares the same core sentiment and experience. |
Something you might not know about steam, that could save you some frustration in the future. | So today I was going through mass effect 1, having a good old time, when suddenly the game crashed. Further investigation showed that it crashed upon attempting to load a new section of the game. I went and looked online for the map file to replace my corrupted one, but I couldn't find any and resigned myself to redownloading and reinstalling the game.
However, I discovered an option under game properties called "Verify integrity of local cache." Upon running that option, steam checked out my installed game files, reported that it had found six corrupt files, and automatically downloaded those six files. It took maybe 5 minutes, and my game was up and running once more.
So yea, if anyone ever runs into a persistent crash on a steam game, check that option out before reinstalling. | Text 2 provides a specific example of how to avoid frustration with Steam games, directly addressing the general statement in Text 1. It details a solution (verifying game file integrity) that can prevent the need to reinstall a game, thus saving time and frustration. |
Tire / rim sizing question | A friend loaned me his uber-expensive road bike, on the condition that I tune it up and replace the tires. It's been sitting for years and the tires currently on it are shot, the rubber is rotting and weather-checked, the tubes won't hold air. I figured I'd get a head start on the tune-up by replacing the tires myself, but the new tires I bought don't fit. Clearly there's something about bicycle tire sizing that I don't get.
The rims are Mavic MA-40's. The original tires are Continentals, marked C132, 700 x 23C (23-022). I bought a pair of Specialized all-condition tires, also size 700 x 23C (23-022). And the new tires don't fit. I can get them almost all the way on, but seating the last few inches of the bead is impossible- it is nearly an inch below the edge of the rim, and no matter how hard I push on it I can't lever it up over the rim. Honestly, I'm afraid to try in case it damages the rim.
Is there another component to the tire size that I missed? Besides the numbers marked on the rim is there also something else I need to identify with respect to the tire / rim size? | The second text directly elaborates on the first. It provides a detailed scenario related to tire and rim sizing, describing a specific problem with tire fitment on a bicycle. The text identifies the rim and tire sizes and poses a question about other sizing components, which aligns with the initial query. |
So I have my college radio show tonight. Any suggestions? | Tonight, I have my radio show for our college station (KSCL 91.3 in Shreveport, LA). The only rules I must follow are no serious cursing (everything except ass, damn, and bitch) and nothing mainstream, so basically if it's on any other station, then it's a no go. The idea is to give the listeners something they aren't used to. But I'm sure that won't be a problem for the unique tastes of the reddit community. I can stream or download just about anything under the sun so feel free to get obscure! | Text 2 elaborates on Text 1 by providing context and details about the radio show. It specifies the station, the rules, and the show's purpose (playing non-mainstream music). It also invites suggestions from the audience, directly addressing the question in Text 1. |

Installing Ubuntu using Virtualbox onto a USB flashdisk as a physical drive formatted to ext4. Hour and a half later, progress at 62%. | The host computer is running Vista on a Core 2 Duo 2.5Ghz with 2gb RAM. Haven't had any problems with running virtual machines on Virtualbox before. The flashdisk was previously used as a Readyboost device for about a month.
Extremely frustrating.
Hopefully it will finish by the time i get up tomorrow :[
edit: It's now been stuck at 94% for the past 40 minutes. Before it would at least advance a percent or two every couple minutes, now I'm worried it's stuck like this forever.. | The second text elaborates on the first by providing context and expressing frustration about the slow installation progress. It describes the host computer's specs, the flash drive's history, and the user's experience with the installation, which is directly related to the initial statement about the installation's progress. |
Anyone use their iPhone as a mouse? | Hello everyone, I got to my hotel earlier in nyc and took out my laptop, only to find that I forgot to bring my wireless mouse from home. I *hate* using the touchpad.
Does anyone use their iPhone as a mouse? And by mouse, I mean you put your iPhone on the desk next to your computer, and move it around ... like a mouse. After some cursory googling I haven't found any app like that yet, just things that allow you to use the iphone touch screen as a touchpad (no), or something called "air mouse" which you apparently use as an air mouse (no) -- anyone know of an app for this? | The second text directly addresses the question posed in the first text. It elaborates on the user's situation, expressing a need for an iPhone-as-mouse solution and detailing the user's search for such an app. The text provides context and clarifies the user's specific need. |
Shameless plea for help with Integration by Partial Fractions | So, I'm not sure how kosher it is to ask for help with homework, but I need some help. So here it goes....
Integrate: ʃ2dx/(x^2(x^2-1))
Step A: 2/x^2(x^2-1) = A/x + B/x^2 + C/(x+1) + D/(x-1)
Step B: 2=Ax(x^2-1) + B(x^2-1) + Cx^2(x-1) + Dx^2(x+1)
Step C: 2 = x^3(A+C+D) + x^2(B-C+D) - Ax -B
So for the system:
A+C+D = 0
B-C+D = 0
-A = 0
B = 2
My solution process to this system:
2-C+D=0
C+D=2
C=2/D
2 - 2/D + D = 0
D^2 + 2D - 2 =0
D= (-2 +- 12^1/2)/2
D= (3^1/2 - 1), -(3^1/2 - 1)
So, I think my solutions are:
A = 0
B = 2
C = 1-(3^1/2)
D = (3^1/2)-1
Before I go further, does this seem right to anyone else? Typically this textbook doesn't leave us with square root numerators this early in the homework assignment. | The second text provides a detailed attempt at solving the integration problem mentioned in the first text (Integration by Partial Fractions). It shows the steps taken, the equations derived, and the calculated solutions, directly addressing the topic and seeking verification. |
