In the upcoming release we are converting the "Snaps" overview page to a "Posts" page which lists all snaps, text posts and comments created by you, with the ability to view up votes vs down votes as well as sort / filter and manage. This expansion will greatly improve the overview aspect of all the content you post. You can read more about the upcoming functionality in our most recent blog post.

Yes, we have some pretty interesting vulnerabilities. I find the most fascinating part to be that the compound is produced in other vertebrates (fish, reptiles, and birds) but not in mammals. Looks like we missed out on that part of the genetic lottery. In general, it seems that animals covered in scales, feathers, or hair have the some of the best protection form UV exposure. Although I'm happy to not be covered in fur, humans and other mammals not covered in hair seem to have similar risks when it come to sun exposure.

I'd never heard of DeConnick prior to your snap, but now I wish I had. With quotes like, “My advice? Be terrifying." and “I’ll believe these films are definitely happening when they are on the screen.” - she sounds like someone I would've enjoyed following for a while.

I've heard of people - men - complaining about the phenomenon discussed in this article: the spread of diverse characters. They've complained about how in every corner it seems like everyone's just trying to profit from being politically correct, when there was nothing wrong with the stories before. I sometimes wonder if they feel it difficult to identify with a character unlike them, whether by race or gender or some other factor. Maybe they see so many characters unlike them and it feels threatening - what happened to the average Joe character they liked so much? And I'm not faulting them or trying to cast these guys as villains, because a lot of them are friends and coworkers, but it seems like there are some emotions behind their push-back or resentment.

If that's the case, I hope they start to understand what it's like from the other side. Of course I can like stories with men in the main role - I've had little choice, after all, but besides that there have always been great, developed male characters that I can get behind. But there is a certain feeling to seeing a character with whom you can identify more closely, whose experiences mirror your own. I'd say that companies aren't profiting off being "PC" - they're profiting off a whole massive subsection of people previously unacknowledged in comics and other media, just as they profited off a certain subsection of men by writing comics featuring shallow, gorgeous women characters.

From the related link I added (which was linked within the article) DeConnick says,

"With a couple of minor exceptions, I don't think about the fact 'this-is-a-female-hero' — you know? I just … write the person," she said.

So knowing that and understanding where she's coming from, I'm still going to ask - any recommendations on where to start with comic books that are more appealing to women? Obviously Captain Marvel seems like a good place, but I never know if I need to read something else to get started or if there's some specific issue I need to look for, etc. I don't have any friends that read actual comic books to help me out here.

You might be thinking of so-called "Romeo and Juliet" laws. Judging from this link he'd not qualify if they were in Indiana anyway, and from here it could be argued to be legal, though it depends on whether or not it affects someone who's legally an adult with a minor.

She should just ask 2 Chainz for $10. I feel like that is how much that insult is actually worth.

So far, I've been loving windows 10. It is a beautiful, fast OS that has been kicking ass at everything I ask it to do on a 4+ year old computer.

Really hope this OS release works out for them.

If you're not upgraded yet and want to give it a try, I definitely recommend doing so. You can install an ISO and upgrade straight to the final release when it comes out! I especially recommend it if you're on 8. It is worlds better.

While you are correct, that overall global temperatures are rising quickly, that has widespread impacts on specific climates, causing a variety of changes. This is why, as an educator, I don't use the phrase "global warming" but "climate change" instead. The reality of climate change is that some places will get colder and others will get warmer as weather patterns change. Just ask someone living in the Northeast US the past two winters.

When I encounter those who concede they don't know but assert they believe anyway, I always have to ask: what is it about not knowing that justifies belief? Since when has simply wanting a belief to be true been enough to make it true?

I can't describe how very much I want there to be more money in my wallet, but my desire alone isn't enough to make it real.

The joke on their FB-page is that they are the iVerge since they post so much about Apple. Lately they seem to be more a news blog than a tech blog though and the quality has gone down after Joshua Topolsky quit. It seems most people don't bother creating an account to comment on a tech blog, so I guess it takes a certain kind of user to do so and stick to it.

The last /t/blog snap has tons of snapzu users just giving 2 to 4 words comments, and the first snap I saw when I came here was complaining about redditors doing it. Yeah right, we are the devil.

See, I think for someone like me the quality of weed would go up, because a person like me doesn't have a totally awesome, trustworthy source of high quality weed. I have to ask friends of friends or get stuff of questionable content. Hopefully we'll have a market like Colorado does where there seems to be a huge variety of choices and quality though.

Sorry this answer comes a little bit late, but in case you haven't gotten an answer too this yet the gif is from Google's Deep Dream project. They explain a little bit more about it in this blog post.

I've always thought that if corporations are to be treated as people in that context, they should also be subject to mental evaluations.

Corporate culture and structure reward psychopathic behavior in employees:

- Structuring dialog to be vague, unassuming, and disarming regardless of content

- feigning emotional connections but not being upset when those relationships are severed

- manipulating clients and subordinates in order to accomplish goals.

And if you read about the traits of psychopaths, it pretty much describes corporations themselves...

- unable to form emotional attachments or feel real empathy with others

- often have disarming or even charming personalities

- very manipulative and can easily gain people’s trust

- mimic emotions, despite their inability to actually feel them

When committing crimes, psychopaths carefully plan out every detail in advance and often have contingency plans in place Unlike their sociopathic counterparts, psychopathic criminals are cool, calm, and meticulous. Their crimes, whether violent or non-violent, will be highly organized and generally offer few clues for authorities to pursue. Intelligent psychopaths make excellent white-collar criminals and "con artists" due to their calm and charismatic natures.

What's even more spectacular to me is the amount he made from the scam. According to this, the average cost of chemo is $20k, which even if the doctor pocketed half the total cost, he only made about $5 million off this. That seems like such a tiny amount of money to poison an entire neighborhood worth of patients.

I can think of a few ways to make more than that if you have actually no morals, and most of them seem far easier.

I'm glad they're being so public about early support, they and NVIDIA have done a great job letting people know "It's going to be OKAY, we are on top of this." Other companies like Logitech have done quite the opposite and it's been incredibly disappointing. My G35 headset has zero support for Windows 10, it won't work at all, and Logitech hasn't mentioned ANY piece of hardware that runs on their Logitech Gaming Software once. Ever. in any support thread, blog post, nothing... so Kudos to GOG.

Well this looks like an appropriate place to talk about what happened yesterday. In the afternoon, I drive vets and the elderly to doctors appointments or anywhere really. I'm sitting at Publix waiting for someone to grocery shop right now. Yesterday, I took a little old lady to the doctor, and then we stopped at the pharmacy. I did my own shopping for a few minutes, and when I came out there was a man parked right by the door playing a harmonica.

I thought, "that's odd," but you see a lot of odd in Florida. I stopped to light a cigarette. He put his harmonica in his truck and shut the door.

He started motioning at me saying, "hey, hey," until he knew he had my attention. I thought he was going to ask for a cigarette or some oddly specific amount of change since that's happened very time I've been to that Walgreens.

"In this day and age, you can't leave home without Sam's Colt," he said as he came toward me and pulled a pistol from his pocket. I made a noncommittal, half-hearted laugh and got myself around the corner to put a brick wall between me and the nut job with a 9mm. The lady I was driving was sitting there sneaking a cigarette of her own, and she started to ask me what he was saying about a colt.

I told her, "He just flashed a gun, so we should probably leave." I got her in the van and pulled up to the exit where I could see his plates to give to 911. But he came back out and got in his truck before I made the call.

Had she not been with me, I would have handled that situation differently, and I'm reasonably certain it would have ended with him or me getting shot. I was massively relieved to see him come back out so quickly. I'm not saying I would have wrestled him to the ground, but he would have come out to find me standing behind his truck talking to 911.

However, the support was overwhelming and echoed the sentiment our shutdown illustrated — anger at the way the company routinely demands that the volunteers and community accept major changes that reduce our efficiency and increase our workload.

The thing is, the protesting from the users has no justification such as this. Many regular Redditors are jumping on the bandwagon because they believe that the entire movement is to be blamed on Ellen Pao, when in reality, the moderators of the subs that blacked out set them to private because they want tools that they don't have otherwise. Askreddit put a timer in their sidebar to show when they expect new and better moderation tools by, but users continued to complain about the subreddit not staying blacked out - even when the original purpose of the blackout was simply to ask for better communication and tools. In the meantime, regular Redditors who seem to believe themselves to be a part of some great movement continue to mindlessly downvote Pao's comments that actually support what the vast majority of Redditors are asking for.

That's why I disagree with the last line of the article.

Users are not simply a screaming mob. They are actually asking for reasonable support, and as moderators, we are trying very hard to do what we can to make those changes happen.

Sadly, a majority of the users are actually behaving like a screaming mindless mob.

What we have to take into account is the theory of evolution here. AIs will face the same kind of evolutionary pressures any other creature do. They'll have to exist in a competitive environment where one of the biggest threats are human beings. Our sources of energy and nutrition are other living beings, those grow and multiply by themselves, their don't. To be able to exist, AIs will have to create a network of production to suply them with the basic components and energy they need. Untill they have this "synthetic ecology" in place, they'll have to rely on the human industry, which we know pretty well how to disrupt (just ask the military). A few cut cables, some electromagnetic pulses and downed bridges will cause a famine of sorts for the AIs, making them unable to cause us harm.

If those AIs are any smart, they'll do what cats and dogs did thousands of years ago, they'll willingly associate with humans for mutual benefit. This will allow us to select them based on desired traits, one of them being how tame and docile they are.

Meteor has been such a breath of fresh air for me. I was able to build a fully working Facebook-esque newsfeed with multiple users, likes and replies with likes, in about 4 hours. All done in about 50 lines of code.

Feel free to ask any questions relating to Meteor. I've been programming in Rails for a long time now, and Meteor is slowly winning me over. Everything about it makes so much sense to me, the data access, the templating system, the way you trigger events - everything seems to have been crafted to make developers lives as easy as possible.

If you're looking to dive into Meteor there is no better book than Discover Meteor.

Yeah, /r/watchpeopledie isn't about hate or 'justice' or anything, it's morbid curiosity. It's for the people who ask 'What does a person look like after they get shot?'.

How do you like the Eno hammock?

I've been trying to decide if I should go with one of those or a normal tent. I love hammocks and have slept on them before, but just wanted your personal opinion on the Eno Single. Also, is that one large enough for a possibility of 2 people, or is the double more suited for that?

Did you do something like this for your insulated cuzie?

I am asking so many questions because I have most of my camping equipment either purchased or in my Amazon cart and am just trying to finish off the necessary supplies.

Hey, a couple of us have been starting up a pony community on here if you wanted to check it out. There's a /t/mylittlepony, /t/mlplounge, and mine.

Nice writeup from a company that I really respect. They are pretty open from the start, I also like to listen to the (very off-topic, at time) podcast here https://blog.stackexchange.com/tags/podcasts.

To provide some context these are called the "Catacomb Saints." When the catacombs where discovered and the corpes exhumed they did not have the jewels and decorations with them. No person in the catacombs would ever be buried with these amazing amount of wealth. Instead, during the Beeldenstorm many Catholic churches throughout Europe were stripped and robbed of their religious symbols, relics, artifacts and jewels . In response, the Vatican ordered that thousands of skeletons be exhumed from the catacombs beneath the city and installed in towns throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The skeletons were to be heavily decorated and installed with all kinds of precious jewels. These are the results of that decision, after a little restoration and cleaning of course. For the photo gallery.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I love discussing history.

It would be helpful to add the info on how to manage/delete your snaps. I recently had to delete one and had to ask on the Lounge. Thankfully nebraska helped me.
