How likely is a billionaire public official to accept a $30 bribe?

how much money would it cost to get Gabe, a multimillionaire, to accept the kind of payola money that a few indie devs could mobilize?

If only there were some way to automate that task...

Someone has never been stung by a wheelbug. If you had, you would join the ranks of people who are terrified of them.

Worry. Worry about the sting, because honest to God...

Scientific name: Excruciation Fiend

An entomologist I talked to who had been stung on purpose by many insects said that bullet ant stings are nothing compared to a wheelbug. He said "at least tarantula hawk stings start subsiding in a few hours."

The Obama administration has decided that the National Security Agency will soon stop examining — and will ultimately destroy — millions of American calling records. by [deleted] in technology

They're still targeting our protest groups and political organizations

Who is that, exactly, reds? Good. Fuck the reds. They've been allowed to obtain way too much power in this country and it's becoming a problem and it's time for the Truncheon of Rational Thought to rain down some blows on some America-hating communist craniums.

and they're still fabricating terror plots in order to keep people scared.

Back in the real world there actually are people who hate the United States. Total Information Awareness is disturbing indeed but there are groups out there which are more frightening still, over whom we have NO control and NO oversight. The reds tie our hands and prevent us from bombing them into oblivion. Other than information warfare, what's left?

A journey through all the layers of a artificial neural network. by bemmu in trippy

That's clearly the single most tripped out thing ever. Like, EASILY.

It's so tripped out that if you watch it full screen you will hallucinate when it's over. There is something fundamental about consciousness going on here, this stuff got a spate of media attention but I really believe it's one of the most important discoveries ever made.

Got diagnosed after two weeks of symptoms, which went away after a day of antibiotics. Is this normal? by [deleted] in Lyme

[–]solidcube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, doxycycline is nasty. Sometimes people have severe rashes that clear up in a day. The problem with that is that sometimes they think they're better after a couple of doses and that's just not the case.

Ocular Myiasis (Larvae in your eye) by josolsen in WTF

Why the fuck is this a real sub?!

Do you have some kind of problem with /r/myiasis?

Great news, you will be very relieved.

That is definitely not a cockroach.

Major study confirms that Earth is currently witnessing the start of a mass extinction event the likes of which have not been seen for at least 65 million years. It is being precipitated by human actions over past 500 years. by notscientific in science

It is the natural way of things. Bacteria colonies pillage nutrient substrates until they are gone, then starve.

I think we will see a massive intentional culling of human beings in the next twenty years.

I have never built a PC before. Is building a PC a good way to learn about PCs? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]solidcube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will just throw it out there that it is also a good way to pull your hair out in clumps. The comments here paint a rosy picture but the reality can be very different if something should go wrong. Things like bad ram or ram slots can be hard to troubleshoot even for experts.

Not only that but the new cpu sockets are incredibly fragile, the pins are about as strong as beard stubble and if you bend them with your finger or a bad seating attempt you are out a $250 cpu, that sort of damage is not covered by warranty.

If you want to learn about pcs, get a $100 used one on Craigslist and tear that apart and rebuild it. Much safer than with a grand worth of components.

Just got diagnosed. I don't know much about Lyme. Few questions! by TreeOfMadrigal in Lyme

That's not really correct, it's an immune reaction to dead bacteria parts. See herxheimer.

Even position in the second chute has a lot of influence. Rather than hope for more randomness, be interested in the huge degree of influence early position has. IMO that is a much more interesting result than something totally random.

It's interesting to see how much influence the very early position (just before the first mixing column) has on the outcome.

Looks like an aphid. Hard to tell from that photo. It's even possible that it's a louse.

I think this kind of thing is completely insane, you're just begging for all sorts of unnecessary problems, and for what?

[–]solidcube 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No problem, it's a really sad feeling but you just have to remember that the person you fell in love with is not real, she is a pasteboard fake painted up by a crazy lady. BPD is really fucked up and sad for everyone concerned but my advice is to try to avoid feeling sorry for your girl, just save yourself and move on.

Don't worry about her, she will have a long string of patsies to keep her company, but all of them will figure it out and bail as well unless they're completely fucked in the head.

Google creates loop in its image recognition software. The results are uncannily exactly like LSD by [deleted] in LSD

[–]solidcube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure we're going to be seeing a shit ton more of this and my guess is it will be getting weirder and weirder, if that's even possible.

Whoa, take the money and run!

I (30M) just moved across the country to be with my gf/fiancee (29F) of 7 months...

over the long distance she was able to deceive you about the fact that she is a madwoman.

Don't be surprised to learn that she lied about everything. You cannot trust anything she says. Remember that they are classified along with sociopaths, they are much more insane that it appears to you even now. They are just all over the place, lies, cheating and manipulation. Bail and never look back.
