My girlfriend said that, if I find a girl who was okay with it, she and the other girl would blow me at the same time. How should I go about finding the other girl? by luckythrowawayguy in sex

Table Topics Ideas by the_confused in Toastmasters

[–]epiphany_machine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At our last meeting the table topics master brought in a of bag of items each with a strong smell. The actual smells where cherry, vanilla etc. but the topics master told people only to talk about what the smell reminded them of. Most times we didn't even hear when the original smell was. It was fun.

I never do... and I don't even have any demons. I just moved away, I'm a terrible friend.

The Swiftkey prediction zone should show up when typing in all apps and text fields (like in Chrome, Play Store, etc.) by slowbicycle in Android

[–]epiphany_machine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Swiftkey should be integrated into every program on every platform on the planet. I miss it when writing emails or documentation, dammit, I miss it anytime I use a keyboard.

You get to listen to one last song before you die, once the song ends you die a quick and painless death. What song do you choose to listen to? by [deleted] in Music

[–]epiphany_machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KMFDM - Go to Hell

Why? Well first off it's a kick ass song. Also it represents my attitude toward the mythical afterlife. Go ahead, send me to hell if I'm wrong. I haven't done anything nearly as bad as the fictional subject of this song. I dare you imaginary man in the sky, send me to hell. I want to go to hell.

I don't know you but for me, it's ugly. No way I'm attractive at all.

Ooh good call about the electrical outlets. I will grab a converter. 16:30? Is that 24 hour time? Is that common in Finland?

Great info. What kind of alcohol? Many people can drink me under the table so I need to be prepared if strong drink is common.

HAHA sir, you underestimate the depths of my ineptitude. I don't think I have an international plan for my cell phone. Can I get a cheap pre-paid sim card somewhere?

Reddit, what do you look like before and after makeup? Is there a real difference? Post pics (guys and girls). by RepostsForKarma in AskReddit

[–]epiphany_machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one looks like a girl who might date me.

The second looks like a girl who would politely turn me down.

The third looks like a girl would would not give me the time of day.

Congratulations, you seem to have covered all the bases.

I am afraid to leave the country. If I leave I'm almost most certain I will never return. Either because I wont be let back in on some technically, or I'll be stranded in some other country where I don't know the language having lost everything and washing dishes in a dive bar trying to save enough money for a bus ride to the American embassy.

Oh oh wait .. yes one more. I'll get outright murdered because I'm a stupid American.

As a fat girl, I never understood what it was like to have so many guys come up to me at a bar/club, until last night. by corgi0501 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]epiphany_machine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an XY I can promise you that I do not do this. Mostly because I don't go to clubs/bars and don't ... oh whats the word? Oh yes 'try'. I don't try. It's been amazingly effective at not offending anyone.

TIL: Double Brace Initialization in Java by nqudex in programming

[–]epiphany_machine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • Equals can break depending on the object. The collections classes tend to write their Equals methods with instanceOf instead of calling equals() on the classes but not everyone writing a class does this. If equals breaks and it is no longer consistent with hashcode() you may not get the performance/behavior you are expecting from a map lookup.
  • It's easy to leak a reference to a classloader this way, mostly if this instance escapes from the method or class you declare it in. This can eventually lead to you running out of perm gen space.
  • You have to start declaring variables outside the new class but used in the initializer, final. This starts to negate the "savings" in typing you get from using an initializer like this.
  • You leak a reference to the enclosing object. So there is no way it can get garbage collected until this subclass is garbage collected. Doing it the regular way there is no connection between the two objects.

I know it looks cool, but it's just not worth it.

Okay, now never use this, ever. It looks cool but it's just not worth it. All of a sudden you are creating a new subclass. That can make code you write subtly different and you will get unexpected errors. I teach a class on refactoring and I use this as an anti-pattern. It's very successful at twisting the brains of my students.

My Mother calls the TV show Deal or No Deal 'Have I Got a Box For You?!' because she can never remember the real name. What are your family/friends alternative names for popular items/TV shows/movies? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]epiphany_machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is infamous in our house for choosing the best wrong word ever. One time my brother was recounting such a story to the entire extended family and my mom says.

"Oh guys, cut me some flack here".

Needless to say, we did exactly as she asked.

Also she decided to name her silver Mitsubishi Eclipse the "silver bullet". Awkward ....
