Off Topic / The Fitbit Charge

« on: February 25, 2015, 11:37:42 AM »

Hi guys, I just got my monthly pay and I've been thinking about buying the Fitbit Charge.
Here is their website: https://www.fitbit.com/uk/charge and here is a review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5zeYKDKTlI
It's super neat, especially since I've been wanting a "smartwatch". The thing comes with a lot of features which I'd love to use, like the silent alarm (omg).
I've been wanting to do cardio again but didn't want to pay for a gym license as they're expensive where I live, and this thing can certainly help me with that.

So my question is, does anyone have experience? Maybe with the Fitbit Flex or older versions. I'd love to know what I'm potentially spending my money on. <3

Blatantly ripped off of Reddit, but I feel it would bring interesting discussion.

CIA: Italians poke fun at jihadists' Twitter threat "We are coming to Rome" by warning them of the Italian capital's chronic traffic problems | "Tomorrow there is strike of public transport. Good luck!"

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/CIA-libya-italians-poke-fun-jihadists-twitter-threat-attack-rome-1488767?

http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/2wjf5f/CIA_italians_poke_fun_at_jihadists_twitter/

Some context: There is a chapter in the Koran titled "Rome." During the period when Islam was founded, the Roman (Byzantine) Empire was at war with the Persian Empire and the Koran makes some prophesy about which side will win. The hadith commentary on this chapter teaches that Mohammad also prophesized that one of the "signs of the end times" will be that the Muslims will "conquer Rome."
This is no doubt what is motovating CIA propaganda. They are deluded into pretending that Rome, Italy has the same geopoltical significance that it had 2,000 years ago, and plotting to attack Rome has been an Islamic tradition for the past 1,400 years.
Another city that has the unfortunate position lf being entrenched in the Islamist doctrine is Jerusalem. The same passages which prophesize the Muslim conquest of Rome also prophsize the conquest of Jerulsam.
You will also often see fundamentalist Muslims threatening / fantacisizing to attack Spain. This is because the Muslims had invaded the Iberian peninsula for a time, and they feel that it now rightly belongs to them. India has a similar place in the fundamentalist Muslim mind - perceived as a lost colony that shoukd be the focus of reconqiest by the "Islamic state."

Edit: This thread is referencing them saying they're coming to Rome btw, not them poking fun back.
Anyways, discuss people poking fun at CIA.

Off Topic / Apple is working on tech for a car

Apple isn't necessarily making anything physical. The company that can make the first/best car OS that can reliably self-navigate may be the the next "Apple". Apple wants to be the next "Apple".
This is good. It further increases the competition for self driving electric cars. Even if Apple doesn't ever build a car.

Edit: Removed "So" and added "Tech" from title.

Whats happening?

Off Topic / I bought Steam Greenlight Access 5 months ago

« on: February 16, 2015, 07:28:28 PM »

It's still left unused.
I'm throwing this topic out here, does anyone have any idea of a video game that I could develop for my indie company single* handedly, that I could upload to Steam Greenlight?
I'm also really uninspired because all my ideas are too ambiguous, as in HD 3D models and stuff.

Examples:

Super Amazing Wagon Adventure

DLC Quest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NGrR2jwI-Q

Half Minute Hero

To show off some prior concept, here is something I made a long, long time ago.

Off Topic / Sent a rose on impulse - How forgeted am I?

« on: February 12, 2015, 10:01:17 AM »

Every v-day my school has an event where you can anonymously send a rose to a student for a dollar, I've never participated before because I've always been with someone, until this v-day. I also have borderline, which along with a lot of other symptoms, makes me react on impulse without much thought. This will be relevant later.

I was very drunk at a party a few weeks ago, and asked one of my friends if "I had a chance with Ashley" (Fake name). She said no, so I shrugged it off and continued doing whatever I was doing.
Yesterday night my friend Skype'd me and asked me if I remembered asking that. I said yes and she told me that she told Ashley my question personally, and that Ashley got really shy and mumbled out yes. My friend then continued to completely cover me with questions about if I "like-liked" Ashley; which I answered as avoidingly as possible as I knew the answer would go straight to Ashley as well.
Afterwards she was my wingman with telling me things Ashley liked and that I should send a rose. But I told her the event ended already.

So, today at school I was hanging out on my second break when I noticed the roses event stand was still there and stocked. I asked my friend "Hey do you got a dollar for a rose?" which he did, and gave me. I bought an anonymous rose and wrote "I suck at first moves, so I'll leave it to this rose", then gave it to the guys at the stand for them to deliver Friday.
On my way back to my friend I realized what I just did, and my handwriting is super obvious and I feel like I jumped the gun.

This might be my anxiety, my depression or whatever is sick in my head talking, but I feel like I forgeted up big time.

Edit:

I should mention that I promised myself to not get into a relationship until my mental issues are over; and I'm kind of ruining that promise.
I should mention I've never been in a relationship with a girl before. But she hasn't been in a relationship at all before.
I should mention I am really anxious and self conscious for people who I want to befriend.

Edit 2:
The problem is I have dumped girls before and it turned out in them not talking to me anymore where they were priorly friends. Don't want a situation like this.
I'm also loving edgy so my already broken heart cant take another beating *sobsob*

Off Topic / I'm not good enough to skip school

« on: February 11, 2015, 03:42:08 AM »

I've only had about 4 hours of sleep last night, and the next morning I had to be at school at like 8, so I'd only have 4 hours of sleep.
Now I'm a really tired individual, so that amount of sleep is pretty much nothing to me. Once my alarm went off the snoozapalooza happened as every other morning, however I decided after a few that I just wanted to sleep, I didn't have anything important in the classes I'd sleep over anyways; So I turned off the alarm.
Fifteen minutes later I woke up again, so it'd be about 7.30, but I didn't pay too much attention to the clock, and more to how it was light outside. I have a bad habit for sleeping until 13, so I was pretty panicked because I thought I did that again, and therefore missed all my classes today.
I checked the clock again and for some reason decided that it was indeed way too late and I rushed to school.
Only to find out that I made it to school at 8 when I thought I skipped all my classes.

This is happening more often to me too, mistaking one for another. Someone the other day asked me how many hours there are in a day. I responded that I did not know out of the top of my head how many minutes there are in a day.
I'm a very confused person.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this? I tried incognito but it didn't work.
Every time I click play on any song on this band's page, it makes this message pop up.

Off Topic / 3D-printed candy

« on: February 06, 2015, 03:23:24 AM »

So this company called The Sugar Lab 3D prints candy.



I wonder how 3D printing food will affect cooking in the future.
I wonder if jobs as cook or even as fastfood employee will get replaced by machines in the future.

Off Topic / I know a magic wallet trick

« on: February 04, 2015, 11:13:43 AM »

So I was just returning from gym class, said bye too my friends as they left while I still had to return my bag to my locker. Class periods were over and the only one in the classroom where my locker was located were some teachers. I grabbed my wallet to get my ID card and opened up my locker, casually putting my bag back in, putting my ID back in my wallet and flipping it closed; No problem right?
This saturday I'm organizing a party, and things like weed is legal here, so I bought some for the party that day. I keep things like this in my wallet.
So, when I flipped my wallet (Forgot to mention I have a big, dadcore wallet), not only did the weed fly out (in ziplock), but also things such as but not limited to: painkillers, ibuprofen, a condom, caffeine tablets, and XTC pills.
The teachers saw and kept looking as I quickly grabbed them from the floor with a flushed red face. Some white tablets fell out loose and I didn't pick them back up because of the hurry. I don't know if I just left XTC pills there, or painkillers/caffeine tablets. I quickly rushed past the teachers avoiding eye contact as I left the classroom and after that the building.

tl;dr: my wallet spits drugs
