isoprenaline posted:OH! DON'T be a dick? Boy did I get that one wrong. It's a pretty easy one to mess up, so I forgive you buddy. But in all seriousness:  I would guess that's the type of stuff getting you suspended, no? It looks like you and these folks were having a heated occasionally all caps argument. They're all people with cancer/cancer survivors or doctors or nutjobs, and you seem to be some random snarky fellow taking the debate into hyperbolic territory. So: A) You're probably annoying people so they're blocking you or potentially marking your tweets as spam B) Twitter likes to suspend people who frequently mention a bunch of accounts in tweets, because that's what spammers do A + B = increased likelihood of suspension I'm not sure what to tell you here. Choose your battles more wisely, perhaps? e: Or really just this Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:No wait, you're not changing anyone's mind by being a pest on twitter. Find a new hobby.

Aggro posted:I'm using Google Chrome, and for some reason, whenever I close the browser, it logs me out of all of my websites. When I go to log back in, all of my information is saved, and I just have to hit Enter to log in. Nonetheless, it's annoying as poo poo to take an extra step when I visit any website. Check to see if Chrome is deleting your cookies when you close the browser. Open the menu (the little icon of three lines on the right side) and click on "Settings". On the page that pops up click on "Show advanced settings..." down at the bottom. Under the "Privacy" heading click the "Content Settings" button. At the top of the window that pops up it'll list your settings for browser cookies. It should be set to "Allow local data to be set", if I'm right yours will be set to the second or third option there. Change it to the "Allow local data..." option and chrome should keep you logged in now. wormil posted:Is anyone able to view this website?

isoprenaline posted:I am not arguing I am awesome on Twitter and a friend to all. I may be rude but hell many others are far ruder. But those other people get blocked and say "hey this dickhead blocked me, when I called them a ignorant fuckwit". I don't get a chance to say that because the moment someone blocks me, I am suspended. As someone already mentioned, it's probably just because you're getting blocked and marked as a spamming a lot. If you get blocked or complained about frequently then you'll be assumed to be a spammer, that's just how the system works. The only solution is to try to not annoy people so much.

Yesterday I went for a long walk on snowy/icy sidewalks. Now there's a small sore muscle in my inner thigh. Is it probably this one?

miryei posted:Yesterday I went for a long walk on snowy/icy sidewalks. Now there's a small sore muscle in my inner thigh. Is it probably this one? That's more of a groin muscle than a thigh muscle. If you lunge like a fencer you can feel a stretch in your adductor brevis. If you try to do the splits you'll feel the stretch in the other adductor muscles. Doing those movements should isolate the soreness for you.

kedo posted:It's a pretty easy one to mess up, so I forgive you buddy. Jesus dude that was what? A week ago? It's hardly a pattern? In that thread someone states they got blocked. But they are still there to complain. EACH time a single person blocks me I am suspended. Again in that thread there are users mentioning everyone. Again and again. 20 tweets to my one. They are not suspended. I am not the most mentiony or confronting user twitter has. I still think my account got flagged somehow. Maybe as someone else said by being new and suddenly active.

isoprenaline posted:In my own little way I have changed some minds. A few people who had had the Gardasil vaccine, who then stumbled on the Anti-vacc bullshit on Twitter and were terrified that their cervixes were going to explode were appreciative of some correct info to put their minds at ease. If you're sole goal is to confront random strangers on the internet about their political beliefs, then you're kind of a dick. There's an old saying, "Arguing on the Internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded." Learning to let poo poo slide without confrontation is an invaluable life skill. If you keep getting kicked off Twitter for your behavior, then change how you behave. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Dec 17, 2013 |

Also Twitter is not a platform for discussion or debate. It's a thing where you post 140 character long messages about the density of your poop or which hilarious thing you did or are going to do today.

So I live in a ghost town - it was an oil-boom town in the early 1900s but now it has a population of 6 (me and my husband and his parents and aunt and uncle). Anyway this town has a (I guess automatically created) Facebook place page that has nothing on it and no info about the town and I really doubt anyone is ever going to update it. Is there a way that I can become the owner/manager whatever of one of these "City" pages? I have all sorts of pictures and history of the town but when you go to it's City page on Facebook, there's no pictures or info, all it has is a little widget with the temperature. I want to be the boss of this page! How do I do this?

So I got given a "Galaxy tab 3" tablet. I have played with a iPad but really only to go online and play the app games. Basically... can I play Plants vs Zombies, The Simpsons and all those other quality uses of my time? Does the type of tablet effect the apps I can use? Can I still use the Apple app store?

They want you to have a website and they want it to be the official town website, and for you to be the equivalent of mayor@mytown.com. There may be other ways. There is some human interaction here (someone actually looks at your request and decides if you are important enough to run the facebook page), but it's masked by computer generated e-mails.

No, you can't use apple apps on the Galaxy tablet. It runs on a different operating system, Andriod. There are a lot of games released for Andriod and I would bet PvZ has been. You would have to buy it separately though.

You can't use Apple apps from the App Store on an Android device like your Galaxy Tab3 but you can use apps from Google Play which is the same thing only not as good or maybe better I dunno. You can play the games you mentioned though. And loads of others. edit: here is the SA android games thread and the regular non-gaming app thread e2: you are going to see, very soon, a black screen on which there is a small robot (the 'android') with the words KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE in screaming yellow font and you are going to panic. Do not panic. Hold your off button for about an hour and the device will turn off and then reboot as if nothing happened, and you will have no idea why that thing that just happened happened or how to stop it happening in future. Enjoy! I have a Galaxy Tab3. stickyfngrdboy fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Dec 18, 2013 |

I've seen in some movies that have submarines in them the crew all going quiet and whispering, making sure they don't drop a knife or fork so that the enemy can't locate them, is this really necessary? Are there any sea creatures, like a blue whale that could sink a submarine?

Most of these films are WW2 era films, so I can't speak to how good the technology was then, but modern passive sonar can pick up all sorts of sounds. Loud sounds, especially sounds not normally found in the ocean reverberating from a giant metal cylinder will definitely stand out compared to more normal oceanic sounds. I know I've read about a few submarines that have collided with whales and were heavily damaged, but not sunk. In theory, if it was hit in the right manner it could sink, but submarines are fairly sturdy.

Yes noise discipline is necessary in modern subs. But they survive some crazy poo poo like running into the seafloor.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:If you still have a chance (and it's not a rude thing to do) you should consider returning it/giving it back. There's only one Android tablet worth using right now and that's not it. Samsung's Tab series is their budget line and they're even shittier than the average Android tablet (which is already poo poo). I cant return it,it was a gift brought cunningly well in advance I appreciate the advice though

I actually have been contemplating changing my job on Facebook to Mayor. I unofficially elected myself Mayor. But no there is no official website. I guess I could make one! Tiggum posted:So, why do you live there? It was an oil town of about 1,000 people that went broke in the early part of the century, and all of the land that the town sat on plus the surrounding 7,000 or so acres belonged to my husband's great-grandfather. The name of the town is part of their last name. So, we still live here because we still own the land. Our houses are new (ish) and there aren't any standing structures from the original town besides a dilapidated one-room limestone block schoolhouse that my husband's grandfather attended as a child. We find stuff from the old town all the time. There's sidewalks, old wells, glass bottles, ancient cars etc. still laying around if you look hard enough. Actually that's a big part of my husband's job, picking up trash from the old town and selling the scrap metal. It's all prairie now. Nature took it back This town still shows up on many maps even though it's not a "real" town anymore. But we still live here! Our address is actually for the next town east, about 10 miles away.

It's a working cattle ranch and my husband's place of employment. I do my graduate research on birds here (that's how we met). And we love living in the country! I love looking over the hills for miles and seeing nothing but a sea of grass. All the land is in a trust that's collectively owned by a bunch of other family members so it can't be sold without a consensus. We're the only ones that live here since we're the ones that run the place, the other family members just live wherever. Why would we sell it? We love living here. It's a wonderful life in the country.

Turtlicious posted:How do you have internet? It's pretty cool actually. A couple years ago (before I met my husband so I don't know the details) there was some sort of rural broadband initiative to bring internet to rural homes. So some company came out and dug a trench all the way from town and gave us high-speed internet. Thanks Obama! We're the last house on the road, the road just goes for another ~40 minute drive to the next town with ZERO houses in between. So they dug like, 10 miles on gravel for maybe 30 people. Oh and here's the funny part. Our closest neighbors (uncle and aunt) who live a mile closer to town and had the internet people dig a line through their yard decided they didn't want internet. So they don't have internet, and can't ever get it, unless the internet company comes out and digs a line to their house. Which they will have to pay for, but the hookup would have been free under the rural initiative. And they declined it! WTF! hoobajoo posted:Aside from living with my family, that sounds loving awesome. Well I mean we have our own house, albeit RIGHT next to the in-laws. Who are cool as poo poo old hippies so it's pretty chill out here. And the aunt and uncle, I really never see them. Maybe once a week, if that. They're cool too. razz fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Dec 18, 2013 |
