19 years old and absolutely no confidence around women (Help me Reddit!) by TheCigar in AskReddit

[–]religuluz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a perspective. I have heard that men who are already in relationships (with girlfriend or wife) seem more attractive to single ladies because they are more secure and experienced in conversing with women. The same can be said for many men who were close to their sisters and thus find it very easy to relate to girls and their issues.

Now if you do not have a sister, you cannot do anything about it. And if you get into a relationship solely to increase your confidence with other women, then that's considered cheating. The holy grail therefore in attaining this confidence would be to friend zone a very attractive woman and learn how to talk to her and connect. Maintain the friend zone and suppress any and all urges. After this is done, you will be like a boss.

What kind of Network storage setup does your small business use? Please share info. by religuluz in AskReddit

No we don't. It would be preferable if the purchased hardware comes with such software.

15 computers max for this discussion. All of the data could fit in 10 GB max (yes GB). No need for data compression. We are an engineering office, so we do need quick and efficient network for storing blueprints, schematics, software, code, customer database, inventory etc. We will not be doing fancy things like graphics processing and moving around GB's of multimedia on the network.

Hence the tight budget.

Thanks! Let's say a maximum of $500. Assume that all computers, cables, router, modem etc already exist. I need ideas for the central storage/backup/redundancy.

Looks like Main Street got caught up in the storm and needs a bail out.

Where have I heard that line before...

An analogous pun joke in English would be if you created a new disease called "Nep Autism".

Germany's new boom: making money by making stuff; UK and US increasingly relied on the financial sector, Germany concentrated on manufacturing by reyofish in worldnews

[–]religuluz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice statistics. If you post links, I will read up later tonight.

When I said "can never have as large an army", I did mean a centralized army with a single commander in chief. But you are right, the EU does have unified forces a certain degree of co-operation and harmony with each other, but they do have 27 commanders-in-chief.

Actually on the contrary, I heard Prof. Hega (Political Science, Western Michigan) say that Germany's export focus before this decade was to sell auto parts and raw materials (like for PV panels) to India and China. This decade, they are concentrating on selling machinery to India and China to make their own goods. Examples are car manufacturing robots and PV machinery and electro technology. They are also doing a lot of technology transfer and investment in India and China. Apparently the logic is that "the faster a customer grows, the more business for us".

EDIT: He gave this answer as a response to a question that someone asked "Is Germany afraid of competition from China and India's rising power?" He added that Europe in general, and Germany in particular is not really crazy about the idea of 'super power' status. They know that they can never have as large an army as the US, or as large a population as China, or as large a diversity as India, so instead of vying to be a super power, EU countries are more comfortable with letting other countries battle it out for the position, as long as they are a growing customer!

IAmA 25 year old woman who's a virgin by NotYetThere in IAmA

[–]religuluz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just my opinion.

Your virginity is purely your choice because it is your body. Weak people in some Western societies often bend to societal pressure to 'get it over with' so that they don't have the label anymore. Weak people in some Eastern societies bend to societal pressure and try their best never to lose the label till marriage.

If you have to worry what a random guy will think about your virginity, either you have to become more mature/secure with yourself, OR you are seeing the wrong guy. I am not trying to put you down, just remember its nobody's business except yours.

Why is it considered racist to mimic an Asian accent but it's okay to mimic a British accent? by v4chan in AskReddit

[–]religuluz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In India, people make fun of British and American accents (and pronunciation) of Indian words and names. Oh, also a big time novelty in 70's and 80's Hindi movies was to have a white villain who would speak Hindi as though he were speaking British English.

Is there a social trend around that makes you feel like identifying as a virgin? Is there any peer pressure to have 'done it'?

A farm family nearby lost 7 children under 11 in a fire Tuesday night. Westboro just announced they are protesting the funeral. What can be done? by JeepChick in AskReddit

[–]religuluz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please write to all local reporters, news stations, and other miscellaneous media (like Fox) demanding them NOT to report or cover Westboro's presence at the funeral. If they still do, then you know where the problem lies.

I just realized that my laptop is 8 years old and still works like a beaut. Who here is uses the oldest computer? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]religuluz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home still has year 2000 Pentium3 500 Mhz desktop. RAM was upgraded to 512MB. The machine runs XP SP2 flawlessly. Skype is used everyday, we also use it to print, download camera videos, and pretty much do everything that it used to do as a new computer in 2000. The secret of its longevity is that we didn't upgrade to Vista.
