Could someone explain to me how Google Music Player / Google Photos works? I have everything set up to upload anything to the Google cloud but if I delete that picture or music off of my computer where it uploaded it from, will it delete it from the cloud?

No, one of the features of using a cloud service is that your storage capacity isn't limited by your personal hardware - you can store as many photos as you want without keeping any of them on your device. If you want to really obliterate a photo however, you'll have to delete it in the app.

Last year I replaced part of my lawn with rocks to make the whole thing easier to maintain. I even put down that weed blocking fabric first, but I already have weeds growing up through the rocks and I don't want to pull them all up by hand every week because  . Does anyone recommend a broad-spectrum herbicide I can use and re-apply to stop stuff from growing there again?

I've been paying my rent using Paypal, but now my landlord wants to switch to either QuickPay or Popmoney instead. I have three questions: 1) Are these services reputable or at least, no more disreputable than Paypal is already? 2) Would I need a bank account with a particular bank (it sounds like QuickPay is associated with Chase), are there usage or inactivity fees, or anything else that would make them a pain in the rear end to use for this purpose (and nothing else?) 3) Is there any way to send money from Paypal to a QuickPay or Popmoney account? (And if so, does the owner of the receiving account have to do anything special, or can I do it all from my end?)

This doesn't answer your question really, but I'm using cozy.co which is built for landlord/tenant payments, it's direct transfer from bank to bank, and it doesn't cost anybody anything. I've been with them a year and no real complaints. It's pretty featureless, but once you set up the transfer once, it's all automated every month.

I have three questions: QuickPay is just a service of Chase to send money to or from a Chase account, and is just as reputable as the bank itself. I think it's possible to send money to and from accounts at a different (non-Chase) bank with a little setup, but at least one of the bank accounts involved has to be with Chase. If your landlord has a Chase account, it should work fine, although it looks like transfers involving an outside bank take "one to two business days" to go through. But I've only ever used QuickPay with someone else who also has a Chase account (which is really the scenario it's actually there for), and those transfers have been basically instant. Details are here: https://www.chase.com/index.jsp?pg_name=ccpmapp/individuals/shared/page/quickpay_faqs

I have three questions: I have PopMoney available both from my regular bank (PNC, one of the biggest in the country) and my local credit union (Metro Credit Union of Boston). So at least that is reputable. Only way I've found to use PayPal with it is to withdraw to a bank account with a bank/credit union using PopMoney and then paying through there.

Golf balls: I want to get a box of personalized Titleist for the old man's birthday. I know that most pros use the V1X so I think those would be more impressive. My question is: would there be a big chance he would hate hitting them (over the V1)? I don't know what his handicap is but he's no slouch - this year he got a hole-in-one somewhere. I've read the V1X is ideal for fast swing speeds (he's almost 60 so lol) but does that make a difference? Or is the difference big enough that I should just stick with the V1 to be safe (and boring?)?

The rest he will either lose or damage and throw away. Golf balls are basically a consumable for almost every non-pro golfer so he will probably be pretty happy to have a dozen very nice balls in the V1. I think you're thinking too hard, unless your dad is seriously hardcore into golf.

What's the word/phrase for something used only as an excuse for consuming/delivering something else? Nachos are just an X for cheese, for instance. It's some oddly technical phrase, like a delivery device (this obviously isn't it).

I just watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWE79K2Ii-s This was my first exposure to UFC and I'm pretty shocked to be honest. In most of these clips, one of the guys very obviously falls to the floor and doesn't make moves to get up, but the other guy just loving jumps on him and SMASHES him in the face 3-4 times before the referee pulls him off. Isn't this sport incredibly dangerous? Has anyone died competing at a high level of UFC? Suffered major injuries/handicaps? Are there rules and/or punishments for excessive beatings after someone hits the floor? What the gently caress ARE the rules of UFC even? Can you just pound on the other guy until he loses consciousness? It just seems so brutal is all. I mean christ, in some of the clips you can see blood stains on the arena and even old dried blood on the chest and face of some of the fighters.

Werner-Boogle posted:I just watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWE79K2Ii-s You don't stop hitting them until the referee says you win for the same reason you don't stop playing a point in tennis until the ball is called out. Getting the other guy down, getting on top of him and punching him in the face until he gives up or the ref ends the fight is a fairly common strategy, known as "ground and pound". There's no "excessive beatings", it's the ref's job to end the fight in a timely manner. Note that you've literally watched a video full of knockouts. Quite often a blow might stagger or knock down someone but not knock them out, and they can and do recover from it. So you need to seize the advantage immediately and pound the snot out of them. It's not always clear that you've knocked them out, and again that's the ref's job afaik. As for blood: yes, that happens when two beefy people beat the tar out of each other. I'm not sure what you expected. It happens in boxing as well. As far as I know, the rules are no gouging, biting, small joint manipulation, blows to groin area. Some MMA leagues have no stomping on heads, not that that's particularly useful as a tactic. The fight stops when a fighter taps on the mat or his opponent, signalling he's given up (eg if someone wins by a painful joint lock), or if the ref calls it of course. As for deaths in UFC: I don't know, but you're just as capable of googling the answer as I am. I can't imagine there's many, if any.

Werner-Boogle posted:I just watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWE79K2Ii-s There are a lot of posters in the UFC thread in Rowdy Ringsports who train in the various aspects of Mixed Martial Arts, (the sport that the UFC promote events under) who can explain some certain specifics but I'll answer some of your points from my own perspective as well as I can. They're smarter than me and can likely dispel some concerns better than I ever could. You can find that here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3770541&perpage=40&pagenumber=49#pti34 Some of those KO's in the clip are in-arguably late stoppages and don't reflect especially well. Bear in mind that a lot of the clips are old fights too and the sport continues to come a long way. Some referees are really lovely at stopping fights and don't do it until a fighter has taken too much. There are referees, especially recently, who stop fights early and take flak for that. There are some fighters who don't follow up when people are very clearly out of it and they are applauded and well liked for that. The sport is considered at least as safe or more safe than boxing. I would certainly say it's more safe than Boxing or even NFL. There are no ten counts in MMA, the referee will wave the fight off as soon as a fighter cannot intelligently defend themselves. In Boxing, a fighter can get knocked down and then stand back up and take some more beating until they fail the 10 count. No one has died in the UFC. People have died in MMA. Sadly, a fighter from Portugal died in an Irish league this week. There are in-depth investigations underway into both the regulation of the event in regards to health and whether or not this fighter had an existing condition or if it was just poor luck. I've seen the end of the fight in which the fighter died after ward and he wasn't knocked unconscious during the fight. It's just a tragedy all around and nothing that could have been foreseen. Major injuries have happened. A fighter widely regarded as one of the greatest MMA fighters ever, Anderson Silva broke his leg kicking Chris Weidman's, sometimes bones break during submissions if the fighter being submitted doesn't quit. With submissions, there's a responsibility to your own health too somewhat. Some techniques break bones more quickly than anyone could ever stop the fight. Bad luck or awkward positioning when being taken down plays into random breaks such as Anderson Silva's leg break, or say, ACL injuries like Carlos Condit suffered. The rules of MMA are actually extremely strict though and don't be fooled into thinking it's highly unregulated and violent purely because of the cage or whatever. You can't poke people in the eyes, hit them in the groin, break fingers or other small joint manipulation. You can't pull hair, or use a fighter's uniform against them nor hold your fingers in the cage (so your fingers don't break). You can't throw elbows at a 12-6 (vertical) angle or kick or knee an opponent in the head if they are grounded (if one hand is touching the mat) in the UFC. Other MMA organisations allow the kicks and knees. A referee must and will stop the fight when a fighter can't defend themselves, usually signified by the referee saying "Defend yourself" to the fighter. The fighter has to immediately make it clear they are defending themselves intelligently at that point or they will stop it. You can technically pound the other guy until he's asleep, but it doesn't happen especially often and it's heavily fought against. A ref will always, always do his best to stop it happening but sometimes people's lights go out before anything can be done. I can't say 100% if there are punishments hard written into the rules for holding a submission or punching a clearly unconscious opponent beyond the realms of reasonability (remember that these are elite athletes who can probably throw three punches before their brain catches up and tells them to stop) but the Nevada State Athletic Commission (the world's leading AC when it comes to MMA, basically) can, will and have punished clearly unsporting behaviour. For an example, look at Rousimar Palhares, who is known for holding leg locks on for too long. He's currently serving a lengthy ban for holding submissions too long. The rules for MMA are listed here: http://www.ufc.com/discover/sport/rules-and-regulations The blood isn't really anything to be concerned about for the most part. Fighters generally don't fight with any sort of bloodborne illness (they likely wouldn't even be well enough to if they had them). It's more of a distasteful thing to look at. Cuts are nothing compared to brain trauma. Personally speaking, I think the most dangerous aspect of MMA (and amateur wrestling, boxing and other sports with weight divisions) is urgent weight cutting and there are movements in place by health bodies to try to make that a thing of the past. It'll take a while if it should ever happen though. The UFC are also footing the bill for huge scale USADA drug testing to also protect fighters from both other fighters and themselves. Anyway, don't take this as a post to sort of say "you're totally wrong, it's not brutal" and that you should watch it, it's definitely not everyones cup of tea and that's totally cool, but do take away that it's a highly regulated sport where fighter health is treated a lot more seriously than in some other, so called safer sports and that there are very stringent rules.

Also some MMA refs are just not good. Steve Mazzagatti routinely lets people take beatings far longer than necessary because he's out of position and staring into space. That Yves Edwards KO towards the beginning of that clip is prime Mazzagatti.

It should be noted that any sport involving repeated blows does come with a risk of brain hemorrhage or longer lasting brain trauma (there's word for this I can't remember offhand). This includes MMA, football, soccer, rugby and boxing. Sports science has been catching up to this problem and it's only come into the public spotlight in the last 10 years or so. Cuts to the head bleed a lot more than elsewhere, so even minor wounds can end up looking like a horror show. Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 13:06 on Apr 15, 2016 |

There has never been a death in the ufc. There have been deaths in lower leagues but I believe most of them have been heart attack and the like so really it's something that could have happened with any intense physical exertion. People have broken bones and such of course, but nobody in the ufc has ever ended up in a wheelchair or anything like that.

Also I will explain why Mixed Martial Arts (this sis the actual name of the sport, the UFC is the best known promotion with puts on mma fights) is considered safer then boxing. Concussions are bad for you, but especially bad is what's called second impact syndrome (iirc that's the name). What this means is that if you get a xoncuaaion, and then get hit again, it can be reealllllyyyy bad for you. In boxing this happens quote often because you can be knocked down (which is pretty much a concussion) but as long as you stand up before the count of 10 you are allowed to keep fighting, which means getting hit in the head a bunch more. In mma if you get hurt bad enough that you go down and can't defend yourself that's it, fights over.
