Does life have meaning? by MrJosiahTin philosophy

[–]neovulcan 1 point2 points ago

When someone asks the meaning of life, I think I'll stop saying "42" and start saying "fucking". I think both the reaction and paraphrasing your explanation will be much more enjoyable.

Why doesn't anyone sue dating websites for creating fake profiles? by neovulcanin AskReddit

[–]neovulcan[S] 0 points1 point ago

no response when I take the initiative is to be expected. When I get messages within minutes of joining and then nothing? Consistently?

2 scenarios: guy with programming degree uses his knowledge of website creation and his collection of random beautiful women to help pay the bills OR a slew of model-wannabes are so eager for attention that they keep sending out messages, winks, etc with no intention of even sending a follow-up message

if they were the ones pranking me, perhaps. To use your analogy, this would be like the telephone company imitating the people I'm trying to call.

ELI5: The impact of various car metrics on performance by Philip_of_mastadonin explainlikeimfive

[–]neovulcan 0 points1 point ago

Can we get some numbers and a frame of reference? For instance, assuming perfect drivers, which sports cars are best in a drag race and at what distance does another sports car's top speed make it a better choice? I've been told a Mustang 5.0 can outpull your average truck, how true is this?

Scumbag Windows - Guaranteed to happen when you finish work on a Friday by salv3tor13in AdviceAnimals

I thought about saying that to OP as well, but there's just something to maintaining a system you use. Kind of like filling up the tank on a car you borrowed. Or upgrading the firmware on the router giving you free wireless. There's a GGG in all of us...

Since we log in and out of communal workstations, I've taken to rebooting rather than logging out every time. Saves time in the long run.

Advice on Two-a-days: Weight Lifting & Cardio by absolut696in Fitness

[–]neovulcan 0 points1 point ago

5-6 hours and then the same muscle group? or does two-a-days always mean splitting cardio and weights?

Do muscles use the fat nearest them for fuel? by mylittlecroissantin askscience

[–]neovulcan 0 points1 point ago

so, if I understand this correctly, if you want to burn fat, you need to encourage the liver to do what it is supposed to do. I figure the first thing anyone is going to say is limit alcohol...is there anything else that would aid this process?

Army PT...90 minutes mandatory and my unit refuses to announce the plan even a day ahead. It's gotten to the point where I don't want to wear myself out the day before on say, pullups, and then completely fall out of the workout the next day. Conversely, I'm wondering if I do pullups in the morning, could I get more benefit by doing pullups in the afternoon or evening? I know you don't work the same muscle group two days in a row, but for two-a-days, does your body see it as one long workout?

I'm considering going to two-a-days as well. If I have no control over 90 minutes in the morning 5 days a week, what's the best way to supplement afternoon/evening workouts?

I keep losing my sense of smell completely and sometimes recover it for a few days. Any idea what it could be? by pdesperauxin Health

[–]neovulcan 0 points1 point ago

I have this as well as other symptoms: periodic sneezing, swollen tonsils, drainage, and susceptibility to sinus infection. I've been to ear/nose/throat specialists since I was 6 years old without a helpful diagnosis. It's part of the reason I don't trust doctors to this day. When I was younger and living out West, they diagnosed me with asthma and gave me an inhaler despite me never having an asthma attack. I've had roughly 50 needles poked in my back checking for allergies, all negative. One thing that has helped is increasing the humidity. I spent a week of one summer doing a Boy Scout summer camp in Eastern Tennessee in the blistering heat and humidity...never felt better in my life. I have a humidifier for my bedroom which also helps.

Agreed. I have a friend who has me hooked on an old TV show called Picket Fences. The general spirit of the show is to "give just a little more than you take". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_0bBLJIMA8

OS / Software selection help wanted by neovulcanin cordcutters

[–]neovulcan[S] 0 points1 point ago

I'm downloading the generic build and have no problems wiping the puny drive in that tower. I've multi-booted a few systems before, so that portion of the project should not be an issue. Where I need work is the command line stuff. I haven't found a guide that wasn't too abstract or too painfully detailed....guess I need to work on my patience as well :P

Assuming I don't get sidetracked, I'll give it a shot on my personal setup this afternoon, with the goal being to set up the other 2 over President's Day weekend.

"entitled"? I don't feel entitled to shit. you can't just wish away negative emotion either. it'd be great to fail and not feel bad about it.

Should I root my phone? by neovulcanin AndroidQuestions

[–]neovulcan[S] 0 points1 point ago

any advice on which 3rd party app will let me take control of my contacts and manage them on my computer? I was really hoping there was a database or even just a spreadsheet on my microSD card with all the settings, but I haven't found it yet.

I don't think it's exclusively a Buddhist thing, but the whole "harm no living thing" is further reinforced by these stories. I'm not ready to convert yet, but as I get older I am more reluctant to kill, even previously ignored creatures like rats or spiders.
