  • Why don't people realize that the media has it out for Trump...whether you like him or not?

    I wouldn't say I'm a Trump supporter but Hillary wants to take encryption away and create back doors to all our phone so the government can look at anything we do. She is on the side of the richest of the rich...Trump wouldn't help them he would bring business back at least. So even though I don't really love him it's clear that the media is going out of their way to find something every week that he says but usually I've noticed that if you actually watch the speech itself it's totally taken out of context or exaggerated. Like that comment he made where people said he was hinting at people shooting her...if you watch the whole thing in context it's clearly not even close to that. Hillary is scary and dangerous...Trump is just stupid...I'd rather have a stupid person that congress can keep in check than evil empire fascist Hillary.

  • How come people are so stupid they don't realize that Darth Vader is a real person and he's coming with the death star to destroy us all?

    How can you say you actually believe that Darth Vader isn't real? Are you going to live you life as if he's not coming to destroy earth and take that chance? You can't prove that he's not real and that he's not coming here with the death star so that means that he must be real and wants to kill us all. You better join the light side of the force or you will suffer eternal damnation and suffer forever in the dark clutches of the dark side of the force. Have you ever watched the holy Star Wars? Some people think that it's all fiction but it's all real and we better heed it's warning to us. Also you think that there's no life after death??? HA! SO NAIVE!!!

  • Creative glass blowing techniques to get started?

    So this is a question me and my girlfriend have debated and all creative input is accepted and awesome. We want to get a small glass blowing operation going on at home. (We have experience with this her more than I.) Anyway we already have a very nice torch so we pretty much need to get everything else. We don't have too limited budget but it's more limited in chunks. So we can't get everything in one shot but were going to more chip away at is as we need money to go toward other business related things. Here's the main question: In order of importance what should we buy first and last. So should we get goggles first since we can't blow without them? Or should we get tanks first being that there is some creative ways to get around the goggles thing temporarily?(that's just bad example but you get the idea.) Also what creative tricks have you learned to save money on glass and resources etc that would be good for people starting up for the first time on their own? We are planning on doing all lampwork some pipes and things just to make money but we would like to do small wine glasses and thing like that too. Any tips and advice welcome thank you! Sorry if I come off like I don't know much about it she's more the expert I'm just writing the question!

  • How to I convince my girlfriend to stop trying to self diagnose?

    The latest instance of this is yesterday my girlfriend rolls her ankle. She does a whole lot of internet research and comes to the conclusion that she has torn a ligament. She now keeps talking about the surgery she has to go have and all this stuff as if she knows for an absolute fact it's torn. I'm not saying anything this time because she gets real mad when I do. On more than one occasion this has happened and when we got to the hospital I was right that she was exaggerating and it was something minor we didn't need to go to the hospital for. But she just won't listen to me. How to you talk to someone like this?

  • Is it possible to reshape a splint that the doctor made sloppily and is uncomfortable?

    My girlfriend hurt her foot and had to get a splint on her foot but the back of it where her achilles tendon is he pinched in an odd shape so it hardened in a way that is clearly very uncomfortable to wear. We were wondering if it is possible to add hot water or do something so we could reshape it a little to actually fit the back of her foot the way it should?

  • How do I install my Nvidia driver after upgrading to Windows 10?

    After installing Windows 10 on my Dell Vostro 3700 notebook I noticed that some of my games(Payday2, FarCry3) began running very slow. Other games like CS:GO and TF2 and L4D2 all run no problem on my other intel video card. At first I thought it was just some programs running at startup so I fixed that and it didn t work. So I open the device manager and realize that there is a yellow triangle where my Nvidia card should be and it says "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter". So I try to reinstall my Nvidia driver thinking that that was the issue and the Nvidia installer say that it doesn t detect my device. So I try updating bios and installing the Nvidia software...still no go. I try installing the latest software(352.84) still didn t work. I read on a forum that someone with the same video card as me(GeForce 330m) had the same problem and installed the 347.52 version and that worked for them so i tried that and it still doesn t work. I try uninstalling the old drivers for that device and disabling it and reenabling it and went into the task manager and tried ending all Nvidia processes...still no go. I m pretty stumped at this point. Everytime I made sure to run as administrator too and I think I tried compatibility mode for windows 8 one of the times. At this point I m pretty stumped and don t know what else to try. If anyone has had this problem or knows what I should do that would be amazing. I just spent hours trying to figure it out to no avail. Thank you!

  • Are there lemon laws for buying pets?

    My girlfriend got to chatting with a girl on craigslist who was very nice and we could tell takes very good care of her pets. She apparently saved this guinea pig from another woman who wasn't taking good care of it. She claimed that she brought this guinea pig to the vet. So we took him. His name is Rocco he s really cute. Anyway our other guinea pig (Popple) LOVES carrots so I tried feeding Rocco carrots too to not make him jealous. Well we realized he couldn't even take a bite off of it. We looked in his mouth and his bottom incisors are gone. We realized that it must be vitamin c deficiency because he was only fed grass by the woman before the girl we adopted him from. We are pretty sure that the girl lied to us about bringing him to the vet because how is it a vet would miss the fact he's missing his bottom teeth? What do you think about this? Would a vet miss something like that? Anyway we are now stuck with a guinea pig who will most likely need expensive vet care. Are there any laws that protect people like us? Could we get this girl to pay for the vet fees or make her prove she brought him to the vet? If not then what can we do in the future to prevent this kind of thing? Any kind of forms or documents that could help us when buying or selling pets in the future would be helpful thank you!

  • Why is it that my Syrian hamster wants to mate with another female hammy?

    My girlfriend got two sister hammies. They now live separate so they don't brutally murder it each other in cold blood. So we take them out a lot. My girlfriend had one and I had the other and we let them say hi under close supervision of course and one of them keeps stickin' her pooper in the air and freezing her body like she wants to get it on and the other one seems to just ignore this. They're definitely both females for sure. What would cause the one hammy to want to get humped by another female hammy? Can she just not tell that it's another female?

  • When people interpret dreams is that a load of BS or is there anything to it psychologically?

    The reason I ask this is because I have very lucid dreams where I fly and do all kinds of things and over the years they have become more and more vivid to the point where I actually sometimes think I'm actually awake in them. This is not usually a fun experience. Sometimes I have confused dream memories with real ones and can't remember if it was a thing that really happened or something I dreamed. I used to read Freud a lot and believe there is something to Freud though I think psychoanalysis for the most part is a bunch of BS. What are your opinions on this? Not just opinions though I would like to see info from studies or any facts possible.

  • Why do people look up to Guy Fawkes like he was some kind of hero? A Catholic who wanted to kill king James because he was Protestant?

    He didn t sound like the most honorable person. He actually sounded like more of a terrorist than anything and then on top of that he was a traitor who turned all of the conspirators in so how much could he really believe in his cause. I know the imagery of Guy Fawkes is more representative of revolution etc. but why Guy Fawkes? There are many others out there who were for more revolutionary than him and not violent and religious. I think it s all because of the movie V for Vendetta.

  • Do you think Global Warming is fear mongering?

    They said major cities would be underwater by 2020 years ago and this doesn't even look close to happening. Not that global warming isn't real it's just how much of a threat is it really? Now they call it climate change because honestly nobody in their right mind can deny that the climate changes right? Haha. Read Michael Chrichton "State of Fear."

  • I am about to install Windows 10 and I need about 4 more gigs of space free on my C drive to do so what files can I delete?

    I have moved a lot of programs to my ssd drive which is about a terabyte and half full. I've been weary about messing with moving too many programs over to it and causing myself problems but if there is anything I can move to my ssd drive that would be helpful too. But what I'm especially looking for are window 7 files that maybe I don't need anymore since I'm downloading Windows 10 now. Thanks.

  • Has anyone ever seen two adult hamsters successfully live together without killing each other?

    So this is what happened. This past year for my gf's birthday I got her the cutest guinea pig ever. She's so happy. She loves him. So this year for my belated birthday gift she went to the pet store looking for some Russian dwarf hamsters. Well I apparently the pet store guy said that the dwarf hamsters were mean and recommended some really cute teddy bear hamsters. So she got a cage and all that and got two sisters. The pet store guy never mentioned once that they cannot live together or ever said anything of the sort. He was totally for it. Now we started doing our research and found that this is not cool. They cannot and should not live together. Since they are so cute and we love them we are going to get a separate cage now and separate them so they don't die. But I was curious to know if anyone out there has ever successfully seen two adult female hamsters live into adulthood without fighting to the death? You don't have to preach. I know you're not supposed to and we are separating them. I'm just curious to know if it has ever happened? Thank you.

  • What kind of graphics card should I get for a Dell Vostro laptop for gaming?

    Right not I have a Nvidia Geforce 330M video card which is actually pretty powerful and I can play quite a few good games like Payday 2 and Bioshock Infinite without any problems. But then I want to play some newer games that are coming out. For instance I wanted to buy Far Cry 4 and Grand Theft Auto V but my video card can't handle it. Besides that my computers specs are up to date. So my question is what is a good video card compatible with my laptop that can run all the newest games and that maybe I could get for say in the $150-$300 range but obviously preferably cheaper? I read about video cards and they confuse me so a good explanation would be awesome. Thanks!!!

  • What was this instrument?

    I am going to do my best to describe an instrument that my elementary school music teacher Ms. Lula used to pass around to the class. She would bring in a number of cases and when you opened them laying neatly and perfectly fitted were this little instruments that were sort of like a marimba bar but hollow but the thing is each one had a hinge on it with a rod and at the end of the rod was a mallet. So when you swung the bar it actually swung the mallet also and then struck the bar sounding whatever note was engraved on the side of the little instrument. There were a bunch all with different notes and she would hand them around and we would play chords and also melodies with them. Probably one of the coolest music exercises. Now I am a lover of music who teaches guitar lessons. So that's the best description I think I can come up with. They were handheld little note makers. I remember them being kind of big but I was small so they probably weren't that big. Anyway if anyone out there in the world can tell me the names of these instruments I would be thrilled because I've scoured Google with no success. Thanks!

  • Could the Casimir effect possibly be an explanation for gravity?

    If two plates can be pushed together in a vaccum because there are more particles outside of than between them then why couldn't the same effect apply to all particles not just the particles that make up the plates in the test? Wouldn't that mean that there would be a threshold in space where once two objects got close enough that basically the Casimir effect would take effect and force them together but if far away enough like galaxies it would force them apart(cosmological constant right?) I'm not a genius physicist I just read about this stuff and the casimir effect sparks my interest and seems like a good explanation for the effects of gravity. Why isn't it I guess is my question basically?

  • Why in god's name are bar's open late but liquor stores have to close early?

    Basically what they are saying is you can't buy alcohol and go home and drink responsibly but you can go out and then drive your drunk *ss home!!! It makes no sense. They need to switch it so that bars close before people get drunk and then they go buy alcohol and go home and drink where it's safe and if you get too drunk your already home and your friends can sleep on the couch instead of being forced to drive.

  • Did anyone in MA see the object going SE just after the ISS flyby tonight(4/18/15)?

    Tonight I was outside watching the night sky and caught the flyby of the ISS heading NW around 9:25 p.m. within minutes after in the opposing direction I saw an object much brighter than the ISS going SE. It seemed to have a faint glow around it and then faded to black. I'm assuming it went into the earths shadow. I tried to see if it was an asteroid or anything but I can't find any info. Does anyone know what it was? I highly doubt everyone missed such a bright large object in the sky like this so I was surprised to not find a thing about it.
