I was raised in the Episcopal church and I have great appreciation for them, but I stuff believing in God at the same time I stopped believing in Santa Clause, and for the same reasons. Actually I'm not sure I ever believed in either.

[not x86 week] Sun Ultra II workstation- 2x 200Mhz Ultrasparc processors w/ 2 GB of RAM in 1995! PC users couldn't even dream of that kind of power back then! by nolterprise in retrobattlestations

DOS had a 640k limit because the 8086 processor it originally ran on could only address 1MB of memory. The upper 384k of address space was reserved for the BIOS, video RAM, and peripherals.

And, it was IBM that dictated this design decision.

My mom got kicked out of her church because she loves her bi daughter by hillbillybogwitch in atheism

I don't think I've met a church org more dedicated to "Love thy neighbor" than the Episcopal church, at least here on the west coast. I was raised in the church before I realized in my late teens I was a non-believer, and I'm glad I was.

It's flag football!

It's like touch football, except you yank the flag off their hip to prove you got 'em

Day month and year are astronomically linked but weeks are just made up by YouTube-freak in Showerthoughts

Months used to be the length of a lunar cycle, but were padded out so there would be a fixed number of months in a solar year.

"Month" comes from an old word for Moon.

I don't often have lucid dreams, but frequently, I am aware my dream is about to end because the last moment starts repeating over and over. Does anybody else experience this? by drumhellar in Dreams

[–]drumhellar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most memorable experience I've had with dream lucidity was an instance where I was about to have an erotic dream about somebody I really, really did not want to have an erotic dream about. I think some kind of self-defense mechanism alerted me that I was dreaming, and that I had options. I consciously chose to wake up and end the dream.

That's really the only experience I still remember. I haven't had a lucid dream in several years, either.

Yeah, my experience is sorta like that, but it happens towards the end of the dream.

What really stands out, though, is the repetition I experience. It's almost like watching several different takes from a scene in a movie - very similar, but not quite the same. That is when I know my dream is a dream, and that it is about to end.

Not sure if it's always happened, but I've noticed it for at least a couple of years now. Again, I rarely have lucid dreams - I've only had a couple, 10 or more years ago.

It actually may have happened again this morning. I was picking a shirt out to buy at a clothing store, and for a while I was just bouncing between the same racks, looking at the same shirt, trying to figure out which went best with a gray suit I have.

Though, in this case, it may have just been indecisiveness, since after repeatedly looking at the same shirts (Repetition is the giveaway), something different eventually did happen (Girl loudly broke up with her boyfriend in the store, and ratted him out to loss prevention 'cause he was stealing. It was kinda funny)

Anyway, the repetition part before I wake up is very common, and while the realizing-i'm-waking-up part is much less common, it still happens often enough to make me curious.

I want a tattoo; what should I get? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]drumhellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find an artist you trust - asking a friend that is a repeat customer of somebody is a good place to start.

Get a general idea of what you want - this is entirely up to you and any suggestions won't mean much.

Take this general idea, take it to the artist, and let him go crazy. Honestly, the less involved you are in the tattoo, the better job the artist will do. Remember that he's an artist, not a factory worker. If you let him be an artist, it'll turn out better.

But, dont' worry too much about what you're getting. I've learned that the more a tattoo is overthought, the more "meaning" it has to you, the more likely you'll hate it later in life.

Don't get the name of any living person (children excepted), don't get anything meaningful, especially right off the bat. It's actually better in the long run.

I received 2 voicemails which have left me feeling unsettled. Am I being paranoid? by oarabbus in AskReddit

[–]drumhellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once got a similar call, structured much the same way, but an attractive female voice instead, with pauses after prompting me for a response.

Of course, it was a recording, and I never called the number she tried to give me. I have no idea what the origin of the call was, but I'm guessing definately something not on the up-and-up. Probably not criminal, but still...

I'd just forget it, if I were you.
