  • I need some relationship advice?

    Hello dearest forum dwellers.

    I shall keep this simple and to the point, basically the short version. I met a girl that is just amazing we loved each other from the start and it has been going spectacular. Key words here are long distance relationship. ( not too long since it's only like 4 hours away )

    POINT IS. It was working very well, but than we were supposed to meet in a couple of weeks. And she suddenly realized that it was going too fast for her and that she wasn't ready. And apparently still has feelings for me, but she is simultaneously confused about her's.

    She did came out of a 5 year long relationship a few months before we started "dating". So my question here is. Feeling insecure, scared, pressured and suddenly going numb ( devoid of all feeling). Is that something that is authentic, because i have never seen such a thing transpire.

    So if you would be kind enough as to assimilate this situation to me in words i am able to understand. Thank you for listening to this emotionally old man's rant. Should there be any further inquires, they are as always available upon request.

    Good day dearest forum dweller,

    Thank you for reading.

  • What are my chances of having contacted HIV.?

    Assume the following details.

    Had protected sex with a very thick latex condom. During the brief sex there was no slippage or tearing to the condom.

    The person i had sex was a sex worker in Amsterdam in an established institution. Upon further inquiry into the matter i did receive conformation that they test all of their workers every few weeks/months.

    During the entire thing there was no kissing or anything like that everything was as clean as possible with a condom on.

    The only thing i did consider was the fact i had shaved 6 hours prior to the encounter and have had a razor cut. The place where the razor cut was did not come in contact with any fluids or anything similar. Basically i was dry cause i checked my self afterwards. It was about 15 min sexual encounter just for the record.

    So basically considering all of this what would you rate my HIV chance.

    Also obviously getting blood work done but prior to the 3/4 months mark it seems worthless to go the extra mile.

  • Is this normal with new shoes.?

    So i bought a new pair of adidas sneaker shoes. Basically they are medium high to support the ankle made of leather so i ususally wear very wide and cheap sneakers not high that are size 44 which is waaay to big for me litterly i am swimming in 44. So i bought these new sneakers with 44.5 size and they felt great at the store have enough room to wiggle my toes etc and i can put my finger behind my heel while wearing the shoe. So thing is i don't feel any pain in toes or heel but my foot feels cramped up. Question is the following is this normal occurance and should i just wear them around abit or attempt an exchange for a bigger size.

  • What is your opinion on the future of video games in general.?

    First of let me start that i do not mean to insult or do anything malicious with the following question i am just sharing my views.

    As of now i have seen a few gaming phenomenons happening. And i am very convinced as of late that the in the future of gaming modders and the community in general would take on a more integral part in the development of a game. Think of how counter-strike started off from being just mod to becoming one of the most widespread games. I believe that company's like Valve that are embracing the ideas of modders and actually giving them the resources to create their own game is amazing.

    So furthermore i've been playing DayZ for the last few weeks. http://dayzmod.com/ and the immersion the game has for a mod is quite amazing. So based on this game it had made me wonder quite a few things one of which is would the future of video games be something more like DayZ focusing on human interaction and leaving it to the player to think of his own way to play the game and thus focusing the games on more realistic nature. Quite frankly the intensive player interaction in the game is very interesting and has given me experience unlike any other game i have played.

    So my opinion in general is that modder's given the resources to create their own games and more community feedback and interaction in the development would be the the future for games.

    All i want here are your opinion's on the subject don't hate ( also tried goggling how to make a quiz on yahooanswers did not work out for me )

    Best Regards

  • What if real life military action was like mortal kombat ?

    Now when i say this i mean the general rules of mortal kombat.

    Like if 2 country's want to settle an argument of war they send few of their best fighters and a tournament is held the winner beats the loser without the actual bloodshed. Seems to me like an excellent idea to avoid general warfare and the death of bilions of people. Anyone else have any opinions such as this one?

  • When can i eat after alcohol poisoning?

    So thing is i went to a wedding and being a casual drinker my self i can handle my drinks because i never mix them. However yesterday i decided to mix wine and ( sort of a traditional country alcohol that has the same % as vodka about 40% ) So any how my question is the following. When i woke up i didn't have a headache but i did feel nauseated didn't eat anything all day threw up about 4 times in the car ride to the airport ( was flying today) didn't throw up in the airplane i count that as good.

    So point being is i still feel kind of like crap but haven't throw up since this morning and i have the following few questions.

    A: How much water should i drink (so that i don't throw up again)

    B: When can i resume my normal diet again without throwing up

    C: When can i go to the gym

    Any way keep all the drunk remarks to your self i realize the mistake of mixing so much alcohol regardless it happened so might as well deal with it. As side info:

    Drank about 10/11 normal wine glasses and 4 glasses with that DEMONIC 40% thing. surprisingly i do remember the night. So please any helpful answers as to how to deal with this would be great.

  • Adding to an old tattoo ink question.?

    Hello any way i am currently in the process of making a sleeve. And it has been great with the sole exception that i already had a cross on my shoulder. Since my entire sleeve theme also contains crosses i decided to incorporate it into the sleeve. Thing is i went to a second tattoo artist to do it which is a'lot better then the guy that made the cross to make a long story short he touched up the cross a'bit and added some black in an area that was previously empty. The thing is the new color now looks a'lot different than the old one and my concern is would they even out in time as the ink settles. Sleeve is black & grey and the cross was black & grey.

  • Tattoo redness is this normal?

    I got this big tattoo yesterday now it has been 24 hrs exactly. Anyhow it was quite painful at times with plenty of shading black/gray and it's; not yet done i have 2 more sessions to go to at least. So here is my concern. This is not my first tattoo but with my former one it used to leak ink a'lot but it never went red. This one is red not everywhere but at certain points.

    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/571/img201208... Like this this is the reddest part it has been like that for a few hours now well few hrs since i noticed it. It hurts a'lot less than it did when i just made it so by my estimate it's looking good. I am using anti-bacterial soup on it + ointment that has disinfecting property's i don't let the tattoo get dry ever it's constantly moist.

    Tattoo artist used new needles new ink etc everything was done just as it should be before my eyes. When i came home i waited 3 hrs to remove the wrap and than washed it with ( for the lack of anti bacterial soup ) i used baby soup and than applied the same disinfecting ointment on it. During the tattoo it was quite more painful than the shoulder one i got obviously and the redness is around the parts that were very painful my question is do you think this is a sign of an infection or should i wait and see?

  • Do you think Star Wars the old republic is worth buying ?

    Ok so i have had plenty of experience in MMO's 6 years of wow and i also have bought every other mmo that came out so i've pretty much played them all. What i am interested in knowing is would star wars be worth forking 50 over or should i keep it for something that i won't quit in 2 weeks. I want some serious answers from non haters about their experience with the game so far. I have tried to read metacritics but they have rather inconclusive reviews and allot of fan boys who don't formulate an objective review.

  • I am wondering what your opinion on this injury might be.?

    Well i was doing Muay thai yestarday and i was sparring with this guy but i had him for 97% of the fight because he relies heavily on legs but any way point being in the last few seconds i went for a kick with the right leg and didn't realize he was standing on his right so basically gave him a very good way to hit me in the left leg with no block while i am standing on it midway through my kick. Any how grazed him by the head but he hit me above the knee left leg while standing on it.

    I didn't feel much back than cause i continued to sparing and later on some more training but today when i woke up it's really messed up i am wondering when does such pain usually start to dissipate. Judging by the pain he managed to get me above the knee and in the muscles so the muscles hurt not the leg it self.

  • Have you ever noticed how everything significant in our lives happens one second at a time.?

    Ok well it suddenly hit me one day as i was in the bus. I had just caught the bus 1 second before it departed from it's spot and than it got me thinking of how everything happens. You are late one second by doing something completely normal you stop to tie your shoe and you miss your bus for instance than you catch the next one which a pretty girl is taking than you meet. Everything significant in our lives pretty much happen in a second. We live what 60/100 Years but yet compared to the one second that may mean life or death it really seems like allot of time. I have no question here except of whether any of you have noticed that?

    For a lack of better category gonna place this in Singles and dating even though it technically doesn't have much to do with it !

  • Would a playstation 3 be redundant.?

    Ok i have a very good gaming computer at home with an xbox 360 elite.

    Any way since i want to buy a computer but can't because the new hardware won't come out for at least another 4 months i than shifted my gaze towards HTPC.

    Frist i was considering the apple mac mini however it was horribly overpriced. Than i thought i should buy a normal pc but figured i already have 4 pc's and 4 laptops that would be redundant.

    So now i have stopped at a playstation 3. Would a playstation 3 make for a good HTPC and would it be redundant to buy one if i already have an xbox 360 elite.

  • New computer would be a good idea to buy a new one right now?

    Ok i have the following setup:

    I7 920 OCéd to only about 3GHZ

    H50 Closed circuit cooling.

    ati 5870 card (custom air cooling with 3 fans average temperature in games at around 38/40 on max details)

    12GB DDr 3 dominator 1600MHZ CLS 8 ram

    and 850 W Corsair PSU

    Ok so i am thinking of buying a new PC at price range of around 1500 Euro.

    Problem is that i am not sure whether that is a good idea right now. Seeing as

    how the ATI 6870 is in truth slower than the 5870 and the 6970 has a very little performance boost over the 5870. Would it be a good idea to buy a new PC right now or should i just attempt to overclock the 5870 abit and than wait until ati or nvidia release 7000 and 600 series respectfully.

    And if it is the overclock could anyone tell me a good utility to use to overclock it because the ATi tool won't let you tweak the voltage at all.

  • question about Vmware with windows server on it.?

    If you take a computer with let's say an Intel i7 920 Oc'ed with water cooling and DDR3 Dominator 1600MHZ ram with ati 5870 and 3 TB space. Than if you were to install virtual box or vmware on it and use Windows server on the Virtual machine. If you turn on the virtual machine automatically when your computer starts would it be possible for the server inside the machine to connect to computers outside of the machine. Basically creating your own Group policy and active directory everything for a house network that can be hooked up to the server inside the Vmware while the pc is running . Would there be enough juice in the pc to support it and would it work ?
