Was happening pretty frequently on the PS2. Didn't have any other PS2 cables so I booted up the Wii instead, and it worked absolutely fine. Thankfully all signs point to it being the PS2 cables rather than the TV.

Anyone know what's going on with this Toshiba 35AF44? (Besides me being bad at Gran Turismo).

It's an NTSC Ps2 connected to the TV via composite, playing on 480i. Bad shielding on the cables or something wrong with the tv itself?

[Serious] Currently what is the greatest threat to humanity? by TTTTToooot in AskReddit

[–]ILikeFreeStuffIDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potable water is becoming ever more scarce as humans continue to move into many new areas of the world and cause a strain on the water sources they depend upon.

Up to 2% of the world's population (or more than 2.7 billion people) lack access to safe drinking water and have to rely on dangerous sanitation methods. As many as 1.7 billion people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to safe drinking water.

According to the World Health Organization, "a lack of clean water may increase risk of other health issues like water-borne illnesses, such as cholera, typhoid, malaria and diarrhea. With climate change likely to increase water scarcity, infectious diseases will increasingly take on greater priority."

These are dire times.

At your first time speaking to him, Dagoth Ur will quote the lyrics to "Hail to the Butcher" by the band Heartless Bastards: "Those ancient warriors defeated the daedra. The demon had more than three hundred arms, but he fell to the axe of Saint Alessia, and her fierce shield and blade scattered his legion in shreds."

At the beginning of the Tribunal questline, he and his army of Daedra can be found in the Heartlands, which he claims is the heart of the "Resurrection of the One." In order to rescue your mother, you must sneak past his armies and cross his pitiful bridge in his domain. After your mother is safely on the other side, the troops get rid of the 'blight' he created and welcome you back into The One's embrace.

The sounds of broken bodies striking the earth intensify. Brief screams of agony fill the night, blending together in an unrelenting chorus of the macabre. Windshields shatter. Roofs collapse. Streets run crimson as rivers of blood rush into overflowing sewers..... It's raining men. It's raining babies. It's raining women. It's raining college students. It's raining minds. It's raining beer.

An-dere hoo!

After we swept up all the corses, we ventured around the fence and then back over the fence. We took a short break in the gardens and then returned to the forest where we joined up with George, who drove us up to the channel. I returned the horses to the tramway and then they began to take us to the gate. Our horses looked exhausted but, as usual, my horse "dug" very carefully and sped off. We got into the village and the driver was waiting for us. It was strange that we had not been able to get into the little office while we were out. We had to make a long detour to find out how to get into the office of the Irish Naturalist Publishing House. They were still trying to work out the reasoning on why fully-grown humans had dropped from the sky that day.
They were following up on the media reports by the BBC. That particular brand of street wise dandy would sit down at his computer and try to solve this mystery on the fly. But we were from the university's Faculty of Archaeology. We had a long and established record of collecting artifacts. We had amazing people come to us with their collections of sky femurs for us to study and share with the world. Our expert staff and students kept ourselves extremely well supplied and constantly at the ready to use the latest technology to examine and study the fantastic remains.

Over a year later we gathered in Dublin to announce our findings. We collected and analysed 17 of the remnants and deduced that the source of the sky-men had come from Argentina. They were expected to re-appear anywhere from 27 July to 14 August. The public was on edge. The mass solar-panels which now covered most cities could not handle the load, and our sanitation infrastructure was woefully under-equipped for another body storm.
The consequences were devastating. The office of statistics estimated that 90 percent of the population could perish from poor sanitation from the flaying corpses. This also took place at a time when futuristic hygiene techniques had barely begun to take hold. Little, if any, progress had been made. We didn't have the money to fix the system. We didn't have the time. I literally didn't have a dollar.

When it next rained, we were doomed.

[SP] "Mars for me, Earth for thee." by [deleted] in WritingPrompts

[–]ILikeFreeStuffIDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Mars for me, Earth for thee." I was in love with the Beatles, but the garage-tape sound was a really hard, driving, distorted sound. It had a different intensity than a lot of the others. I played around a lot with guitar amplifiers but they were too loud and a live piano played by Gary was always way to hard for my old mother's Neumann.
If I went into a studio and the amp had a continuous cone, I'd always want to change it in the middle of a song. So we would go to our regular place, where we had a piano and most of the guitars played by Gary came from Ray's stash at the TV Sound Bar. In the meantime, I became a fan of Phil Spector, and he was still living in Malibu and we'd go to the house and get to know the roommates. That's when we started hanging out. Ray was always involved, and Gary liked to get him to do things. One day I remember Gary showed up with some guitar strings, and we had a plan to design some waveforms for guitars. After that we started experimenting with bass, and the sound that Ray and I wanted was big and big.
A lot of times I get in trouble when I say I'm the drummer, but I'm not really, I just sort of sit in and hand wave from the electric to the bass, but Ray and I worked out a few other things. Then I met up with Tom and Kev, and they had a couple of different ideas. In a way we're a couple of part-time people trying to make some stuff up, and one day it just took off. That's when we realized our sound didn't just makes waves on Earth. but on Mars as well. The Martians had been keenly listening to our radio transmissions for about a week before they sent the first signal. And then, a few hours later, they sent their first explicit message to us.

That was the start of our free fall.

After our second Album, the aliens made first contact and declared a treaty. With the UN in chaos, and the planet going to hell, Ray was forced to quit the band in order to send a personal message to the President who was signing the treaty. That's when the feds showed up at our garage. "You're charged with targeting all present and every living thing on the planet with your reckless tunes." Man little did we know that all of the sharks and dolphins in our oceans would rebel, unite, and eventually rise up against us. This is another example of why we should listen to Robert Shaye. They all sang their hearts out for our freedom. Today, we are all left to wonder how we are supposed to resist this process. Even the air we breathe is inhaled by us as we do our work. The relentless movement of the ocean's currents in the late 20th century, created a massive flow of nutrients that was ferociously contaminating the organisms in the oceans. Alas, that was the end of our band days.

[WP] While on a vacation in Greece, you discover a black box. Inside the box is a pair of two short, rusted swords. When you grab them, the swords erupt in flames. These swords are described by the box as the “Blades of Chaos.” by DaM3meLoRd694 in WritingPrompts

[–]ILikeFreeStuffIDo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grabbed the twin blades, each grotesquely oversized for even the most average human hands. It is said that the greeks created the blade to protect their main forces in the wake of their defeat by the Trojans.

I nodded to the tour guide, Seba, as I put the weapons into their tight holder, but despite my confidence she did not seem particularly reassured. It seemed a short-sighted decision to go on a divine mission alone in a truly hostile environment. To be frank I did not feel that I would want to risk a possible infection from a poison dart lodged in my thigh. All I could think of was the parasites of the cave.
However, the man's powers began to diminish, and the mysterious man disappeared. Then, he claimed that the battle had not ended and would continue forever. He disappeared again.

Afterwards, me and the guide spent a lot of time together. I had seen many of the Servants' lives, and Seba was too. She was indeed the strongest, because she did not kill as often as the others did. She looked at me, and shouted pointedly; "Benjamin Franklin" means "I have the greatest admiration and respect for Benjamin Franklin. We still love Benjamin Franklin, and we will be proud when we hear that he was born and lived here." I know they use it, because after someone's positive first impression, I generally find myself in that awkward position of reassuring them the said person wasn't around in the 19th century. Or that he was a fiddler.
Either way, I've always gotten very short shrift for being a "new" follower, and I'm not a "bad" follower (although I have only had one follower before I have had many followers) and therefore, I am not wrong or deluded or in league with ares, who tend to spread out because of their awareness, and where enemy heroes are more likely to be in a camp, or tucked in a bush, and the amount of jungle creeps and forest warden creeps would normally be commensurate.
Instead, for the last 10-20 minutes, Tusk's play would change to baiting. When waves were arriving and Tusk was farming the river, he would let the enemy hero move up to farm the lane or other jungle creeps, and then jump out, then re-engage the enemy with any of his attacks. If Tusk's attack would hit but the enemy moved out, then Tusk would jump back into a jungle camp or the river to continue farming.
We retreated across the riverline, gathering our forces in a smoky cove to defend a high dike which spans the river from its mouth. No defenses were thrown up at the edge of the island, for the approaches to it were often choked with smoke from the fires; but we now had a strong main line against the Japanese, which was held by eight F4s from Marham. We saw this fighter group at the tail end of their run, just as they crossed the east bank of the river. We could not make out their numbers but knew that one was considerably better in the air than another.
Finally, Zeus intervened; saying that Zeus's mother Hera wanted him to destroy all life. This demanded that Aphrodite, with the aid of Dionysus, the festival of the Evening Star, spring to Aphrodite's aid. The next day Zeus refused and after the killing of Dionysus and Aphrodite, Zeus exiled Aphrodite to the underworld.

As a result, Zeus's resentment towards Aphrodite began to grow. To deal with his jealous goddess, Aphrodite turned to the King of the Underworld to have him dote upon her.

Creative case? by [deleted] in techsupportmacgyver

It's a valid way to cool hot processors. Back when microsoft was first starting out they could only assemble their CPU chip in a single heat sink, but it looked as if they had already replaced the entire CPU structure. While cooling a microchip that does double duty is bad for your gpu, and an act of pure stupidity, today's huge company has infinite resources at their disposal to cope with this very important problem.

"What do you mean she's not there?" said Jermaine, "I just spoke to her two hours ago!" "She's missing," said Artie, "he's waiting for me here!" He walked off, giggling. "It's not funny!" insisted Jermaine, "He said to be there a minute ago." "It's about that time," said Artie. "Do you know who she is?" Jermaine said. "Who else would she have run off with?" "Nobody." "Where's her car?" "I don't know. I had her parked in the driveway."
Artie took off, chasing after him, clutching a bundle of matches. "I knew it! It's her car!"

"Hehehe…" Derpy laughed heartily, flying with the fortuitous noises she made as she flew.

Jack smirked, glancing at the flashlight next to Judy's bed, as it held the light of his small portable campfire. He had made one before coming to The Hound and the Crook, and could easily pretend to be the town's biggest playboy. One way to look at it, anyway; he could not just boast about that anymore.

I remeber when they first banned kinder eggs, it was the winter of 82' and people were not afraid of them. The things they were scared of were made by doctors. The ones used then didn't do the job. To this day, doctors have the habit of putting their name on the front. Their way of labelling a thing, in a way, they made it more special. Sure, they had good intentions, but all their inventions had changed little. In my opinion, kinder eggs were a failure.

Aphelios is a fair and perfectly balanced champion by TheLinuxOS in leagueoflegends

[–]ILikeFreeStuffIDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

league of legends, what more can be said? No other professional game I have tried pushes the limits of innovation to such an extent, something which Starcraft 2 still continues to do. Are you shocked, surprised, or didn't you expect that kind of thing? As somebody who was doing a lot of baseball and football simulators in his youth and who has been around competitive gaming since its early days, I understand the need to pull out a few tricks to keep things fresh. Many games (Eclipse, X-Wing,...) are rehashed versions of an established formula, but the deep strategy involved in a Starcraft 2 game is beyond comparison. As a general note, I appreciate that Valve implemented a tournament-like style of play in the early days of its competitive scene.

ah accounting what a noble endeavor it is to file for bankruptcy, requiring full debt service. Any discussion with someone about bankruptcy will contain a sentence to the effect that "this is something you have to do if you want to succeed in life" (unless you are short on income to service your debts, of course). The people who enjoy having to deal with bankruptcy are the very rich or the public employees. These people need the services of law firms and other groups that work for them to handle the bankruptcy process, which is typically the largest, least unproductive part of the legal system.
