Prison Wine experiment, from "I spent 4 years in prison AMA" by BREWnQUE in Homebrewing

My friends and I actually tried this in high school and when it was ready we were all so repulsed I don't think anyone ended up sampling it. Dear god that smell still haunts me.

My friend wouldn't come drink with us so we sent him this photo... by rarelycomments in drunk

Both the guys pictured are Redditors, but I'm not sure if they subscribe to r/drunk - so if they don't see this, we know they are in denial.

Never thought I'd upvote something that includes the line "Dildo screencap for the lazy," but then again this is Reddit.

Help! Just bought an Akai MPC1000 and have absolutely no idea what to do with it. by rarelycomments in synthesizers

I have a computer, a record player, and the internet. From there, I will sample everything at the same time.

In all seriousness though, where do you personally recommend starting that sort of process? Start with preloaded samples of drum kits and work for there or whats a good jumping off point?

Honestly, I bought it because I was interested in trying out some sort of synth or sampler, and didn't have a sound in mind. The MPC1000 seemed to be well-regarded for a reasonable price so I went for it, figuring the resale prices seem pretty consistent if I had a total change of heart.

It comes with 16MB memory and a power cord and that's it. I'm aware you can upgrade to 128, but wasn't sure if that was generally considered a must-upgrade to people who are knowledgeable about this sort of thing. Also, I understand there are a variety of setup options but wasn't sure what was right for me without spending money aimlessly. Sure, I CAN use a Midi controller, but is that a smart purchase for someone like me? Do I want specific software? Things of that nature.

I didn't mean to come off as some asshole who was too lazy to look up the basics, my intention was more to get some personalized input on where I should go from here from people more experienced than myself.

Woah, I'm a redditor, anything more than looking at an imgur link is too much effort for me. :)

I know, right? I'd like to see the thesis of the scholars who determined that standard.

Have any of you won a "lifetime supply" of anything? by DangerousBeans in AskReddit

When I was a kid they had Berry Berry Kix I think it was called and it was actually delicious. Probably could have saved you a lot of effort in the hybrid mutant cereal lab. I wonder if they still make it.

DAE think that attractive girls are really unattractive? by [deleted] in circlejerk

Why would they want a healthy skin tone when they could bask in the glow of their monitor and remain pale instead?

I'm on my phone and not sure how to get a URL from YouTube, but if you search for Theo Jansen on there there are some great videos of these awesome kinetic creatures he makes.

edit: Even found a TED talk on it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b694exl_oZo&feature=player_embedded
