209,701 | Said some top foreign politics expert on Reddit!
"Being tough is just stupid" well that would clearly explain why Trump has been acting nothing but aggressive with them since the day he stepped foot in the door yet here you are cheerleading him with a conflicting view. He's a stupid guy.
It's amazing how this is all praise for Trump. The guy starting a trade war with his allies, which he will lose. The guy who has multiple links and is currently under investigation for collusion with a foreign entity. His administration is nothing short of a shambles with a 40% turnover rate.
I'm more concerned about the sudden change of heart from an evil regime who was quite content up until now to subject its own people to work camps, fear, malnutrition and brainwashing. Also attacking SK a multitude of times, even very recently. They just launched a nuclear capable rocket over Japan not a few month ago.

209,703 | No, it's literally how it works for companies that don't pay dividends. Berkshire Hathaway for example. Instead of giving you a portion of their profits as cash they reinvest the profits, year after year. But because they're making money the value of your stock increases. Your dividend is included within the value of your stock, you can sell some whenever you want to take it.
You own 10% of company A which has a total market cap of $2,000,000. Company A makes $100,000 profit and distributes it as a dividend. You receive $10,000. Company A is still worth $2,000,000 but now you have $10k cash. You can buy more company A stock if you like, increasing your holdings to $210,000, or keep cash. Up to you.
You also own 10% of company B which also has a total market cap of $2,000,000. It also makes $100,000 in profit, but company B reinvests the money itself. It is now worth $2,100,000 and your shares are worth $210,000. You can sell 4.7% of your shares for $10,000 if you want.
There's really no difference between the two. You don't care whether or not they distribute a dividend, you care whether they make money. You can choose to reinvest a cash dividend into increasing your investment if you want. You can choose to cash out an increase in the value of your investment if you want. They're the same thing.
| If the first ten people to jump off a bridge survive that does not change the risk of death for you, that's unfortunately not how risk works. | Imagine that the rocky heart of the planet spins but that the water on top of it doesn’t.

Edit : Turns out he's not doing that | Hitting with, or getting hit on your thumb happens from time to time. It's unavoidable (see Weidman's thumb injury) and the added padding does help when it happens. I know there's a huge difference between grappling barehanded and grappling with gloves on but going from 4s to 7s is not as big of a step up.
Many high end brands will provide excellent wrist support, I found fairtex's to be the best for me but Hayabusa are also excellent. It's not about getting smashed up by your partners but injuring yourself instead. OP is looking for gloves for both training and sparring with. I'm assuming this will include pad and bag work which will be tough on your hands. I'm only basing my opinions on personal experiences, I'm a heavyweight, I hit hard when I'm on the bag or pads and had previously gotten my hands and wrists injuries from training, that's why I always opt in for most protection I can get these days and recommend the same to others. | du26zus | du0s1ry | e2yvvfo | mikolv2 | Big_Overhand_Wrong | mikolv2 | 7wj71l | 7wj71l | 91e4l2 | MMA | MMA | MMA | 0 |

209,735 | SBS has a cap of 120 mins of advertising per day (vs 350 on commercial channels)
Fun fact: Turnbull campaigned against increasing the ads on SBS a few years ago, from 5 to 10 minutes per hour. It left SBS around 28 million in the hole, as it expected the windfall to come.

| Did you see a Telstra ad for 5G during one of the ad breaks?
Because it was pretty much a paid advertorial. | It doesn't exactly recommend it. It says it should be considered. It takes a guess at whether you could fit SBS staff in unused portions of an ABC building. Then it says this:
>Property sharing between the ABC and SBS has been considered on previous occasions, but with little
movement towards shared space. The study acknowledges that the findings in this section are
controversial and would rely on very substantial changes in the work practices of the organisations,
particularly the ABC.
/u/testofdetail's comment isn't stupid imo. If you're inclined to think they should be merged it definitely reads that way. It does seem positive about the idea, to me. But it's not saying "Do it" it's saying "Discuss it" and acknowledges there'll be downsides whose full impact is pretty hard to predict.
I think it should be pointed out /u/testofdetail provided the page number. If I hadn't I probably wouldn't have been arsed to look for myself and form my own view.
> the study calculated an
immediate net saving of approximately million may be achievable.
I assume they mean One Million Dollars. Over what? Even if that's yearly, how well does that stack up against these vague yet ominous "very substantial changes in the work practices of the organisations". A million bucks is not something you throw away for nothing (well, not something *I* do, anyway, this fucking government loses more than that behind their couch cushions every night) but we'd need to know what we're gonna lose to know if it's worth trying. | e6sgiib | dua5087 | e6sdtrq | raindog_ | raindog_ | Phasechange | 9jjlqf | 7xn1ht | 9jjlqf | australia | australia | australia | 1 |
209,736 | On a lot of fashion forums, wool-blends are generally regarded as being worse and lower quality compared to pure wool or all natural blends. On r/femalefashionadvice, there was recently a [thread]( https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/7otsul/quality_difference_between_men_and_women_clothing/) about J.Crew wool sweaters and how women’s sweaters contain more synthetic materials and are lower quality. However, the term quality can mean several things and may be difficult to quantify. Furthermore, confirmation bias, price expectation, or selective care of big-ticket items may contribute to perception of quality. To narrow down the definition, I did some research on textile research articles that studied quantifications of quality, specifically fabric rigidity and pilling tendencies.
**Fabric Rigidity and Decrimpling**
Source: [The Low-Stress Mechanical Properties of Wool and Wool-Blend Woven Fabrics](http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/004051758105101203)
*Types of Fabrics and Traits Measured*
In the study, values for tensile properties and decrimpling were measured from fabrics with the same linear density but different wool/polyester compositions. Taking a specific look at the commercial fabrics studied, the five 2 x 2 twill-weaves consisted of 100% Wool, 87.5/12.5% W/Pe, 70/30% W/Pe, 45/55% W/Pe, and 30/70% W/Pe. There were also 2 commercial plain-weave fabrics studied which were 70/30% W/Pe and 45/55% W/Pe. Tensile properties were measured by observing changes in length and stress-strain using a machine that stretched the fabrics at a constant rate. Decrimping was calculated using the curvilinear length and bending rigidity of the yarn in a normalized formula.
*Tensile Properties Results for Commercial Fabrics*
The report states that “there was a trend for initial relative tensile modulus to become less with increasing wool content in the blend” for the five twill fabrics. However, the correlation was at 0.66 which was considered poor. Looking at yarn decrimpling values, the study found “no systematic variation with percentage blend composition.” Focussing on weave type, the study reported the plain weave fabrics were “about 50% more rigid” and that the decrimping amount “was also dependant on the weave structure.” In regards to fabric-bending, there were “no definite trends with the percentage blend composition and weave-construction” for the twill commercial fabrics.
**Pilling Behaviour**
Source: [The Pilling Behavior of Wool-Blend Fabrics Processed on the Short-Staple System](http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/004051758105101012#articlePermissionsContainer)
*Types of Fabrics and Procedure*
The study looked at 16 2 x 2 wool/polyester blends spun at twist levels commonly set for commercial clothing. The fabrics were short-staple, medium weight at ~270 g/m^2 to be used in suiting and trousers. They were finished in the standard way for worsted fabrics or unconventionally with a polymer finish, high temperature dye, and compressive shrink. Out of the 16 fabrics tested, 4 were 100% wool, 8 were 70/30% W/Pe, 2 were 50/50% W/Pe, and 2 were 30/70% W/Pe.
The fabrics were tested in four ways: ICI Pill box, Atlas Random Tumbler, Martindale abrader, and through a real-life wear trial. The ICI Pill box and Atlas Random Tumbler are laboratory machines that cause and measure pilling. The Martindale abrader is a machine that rubs a fabric roughly 1000 times, then produces a value of 1 (Very severe pilling) to 5 (No pills). In the real-life wear trial, trousers made of the 16 different fabrics were rotated among 14 people with similar waist and leg measurements. Every four days, the trousers were dry-cleaned and passed on to the next wearer. There were two wear trials, the first lasting 54 days and the second lasting 6-9 months with dry-cleaning occurring every 14 to 28 days.
*Pilling Analysis Results*
When the fabrics went through the ICI Pill box and Atlas Random Tumbler, “none of the fabrics showed signs of surface hariness.” After testing, the differences between the 16 fabrics was small. The results of the Martindale abrader did show a trend involving fabric composition. For the conventionally finished fabrics, higher wool content did result in less pilling. The pilling ratings at one twist level went from 5 at 100% wool, 3.5 at 70% wool, 3 at 50% wool, and 2 at 30% wool. At 100% wool, there was almost no pilling while at 30% wool there was severe pilling. For the unconventionally finished fabrics, the results were similar. The pilling ratings went from 4.5 at 100% wool, 2.0 at 70% wool, 1.5 at 50% wool, and 1.5 at 30% wool. The finishing process seems to have slightly increased the amount of pilling. (All the exact results are shown in Table II and III in the study) However, the test results were not directly observed in day to day use. In the wear trial, none of the trousers had pilling ratings of less than 4-5. For all 16 fabrics, either no pilling or minimal pilling occurred. The study concluded that “the laboratory Martindale results did not give an indication of performance in wear.”
**Discussion**
It seems that overall, there is no consistent trend in rigidity and pilling in regard to wool composition. In the first study, the measures could predict how long a sweater will last and how stretchy it is. Surprisingly, as the amount of wool increased, the tensile modulus rating actually decreased (albeit a weak correlation). When it came to decrimpling and how well a fabric bends, there was no trend in regard to fabric composition. In the second study, the measures directly reported how a sweater pills. Out of the four measures used, three measures did not show any trend in regard to fabric composition. The Martindale abrader, which did show a trend, did not translate into real-life. This may be explained by the fact that fabrics in daily use are not systematically rubbed 1000 times.
Other factors that may affect rigidity and pilling, such as weave and fabric finishing seem to be overlooked by consumers. In the first study, the weave type actually influenced how rigid the fabric was, specifically the plain weave increasing rigidity by 50%. Decrimpling was also influenced by the fabric’s weave pattern. In the second study, staple length and the presence of a polymer coating influenced the amount of pilling. The second study reported that “short-staple blend fabrics should be made from high-twist yarns and preferably pressure-decatized or polymer-treated” to prevent the results seen in the Martindale abrader test.
**Conclusion and Advice**
Fabric composition doesn’t matter from a rigidity and pilling standpoint. If you care about how well a sweater stretches and bends, look at weave structure and yarn volume. This information may be harder to get from stores compared to fabric composition. If you care about pilling, ask about how a fabric is finished and what types of yarns are used for the garment. Again, difficult to actually get. Wool % is not the major, or even a substantial determiner of quality. In my opinion, choose a fabric based on more subjective characteristics such visual features or comfort against skin.
**Limitations**
I tried my best to write a good summary of the papers I read but definitely read them for yourself if you are interested. The studies do not go into other blend materials such as nylon, polyamide, or viscose. Also, the two papers were published in 1981. So take the advice with some skepticism and hopefully greater curiosity. I will try to find more resources to write about but I encourage everyone to do research themselves and present their own conclusions. | Maybe tailor your shirt to slim it down?

Player A
> **Positives**...A good athlete with mobility. Finds a way to wiggle out of trouble and can take off running for first downs. Not a sprinter but can’t be ignored as a runner...Solid arm strength. Demonstrated on multiple occasions that he can cut it loose down the field with enough velocity to hit receivers in stride...Shows quickness to get the ball out fast. No extra time taken when having to get rid of it. Serves him well when pressure is in his face...Accuracy and ball placement show up even when he’s on the run. Does a good job of not forcing his receivers to constantly adjust to the football in flight...Doesn’t lack for toughness. Took some pretty nasty shots in some games and kept getting back up for more. Teammates will approve of that...Can deliver some camera-juking pump fakes, indicating he likely has big hands. That will explain how he’s able to deliver the ball so well.
> **Negatives**...Has lived in the shotgun his entire college career. Played in a classic spread offense. No idea how to play under center or take drops...Lack of size is going to be a concern. Though not extremely short, he’s giving up vital inches that will make vision and healthy primary questions at the next level...Somewhat reckless at times with his decision-making. Will throw into tight coverages, trusting in his accuracy that will lead to interceptions in the NFL...Can have a bad tendency to hold the football trying to keep plays alive. Opens him up to frequent hits and also fumbling the football.
Player B
> **Positives**... Touch passer with the ability to read and diagnose defensive coverages...Confident leader who knows how to take command in the huddle...Very tough and mobile moving around in the pocket...Has a quick setup and is very effective throwing on the move... Throws across his body with great consistency...Hits receivers in stride and improvises his throws in order to make a completion...Puts good zip behind the short and mid-range passes...Shows good judgement and keen field vision...Has a take-charge attitude and is very cool under pressure...Hits receivers in motion with impressive velocity...Has superb pocket presence and uses all of his offensive weapons in order to move the chains...Has solid body mechanics and quickness moving away from center...Elusive scrambler with the body control to avoid the rush.
> **Negatives**...Plays in the spread offense, taking the bulk of his snaps from the shotgun...Tends to side-arm his passes going deep...Lacks accuracy and touch on his long throws...Seems more comfortable in the short/intermediate passing attack...Does not possess the ideal height you look for in a pro passer, though his ability to scan the field helps him compensate in this area...Will improvise and run when the passing lanes are clogged, but tends to run through defenders rather than trying to avoid them to prevent unnecessary punishment.

This is talking about situations like where someone is moved from a different country under the promise of a certain number of hours at a certain wage and a certain room and board, all provided by the same organization, and then has it changed on them when they arrive.
Having to solve your own existential crisis does not make you a slave. If you can't point to a person or organization that is enslaving you (i.e. a slavemaster), you are not a slave. Your employer who has offered you more money than anyone else to work at a job that you are allowed to walk away from at any time is not your slavemaster.

Again, this isn't the 1950s. Robots do most of the manufacturing. The engineers that build and maintain those robots are doing just fine, so they won't be part of the "revolution".

Yeah, but life is unfair. And while he gets a fraction of the value created during that hour of labour he puts in, he's still taking home more value than he would have been able to create alone, because the other components of what made that hour very productive wouldn't have been there had someone not invested for that stuff to be set up. You'd have to bake in far more monstrous and destructive things than income inequality to make everything perfectly fair. You have to consider that.
> The worker has to engage in this trade (or he starves/lives in squalor).
Yes. I'm sorry, but most of us will have to do *some* work in order to stave off hunger and destitution. That's the nature of the entropic universe we live in. Point is, when you work on your own, you barely make ends meet. When you trade with a modern capitalistic society, most people (even common labourers) get food that's rich in calories, a roof over their head, central heating, basic health care, a smart phone, a flat screen TV... | e2hzi0x | e2hz73g | e2jxqhj | dmoore13 | BoldFlavorFlexMix | dmoore13 | 8zbfr5 | 8zbfr5 | 8zbfr5 | science | science | science | 0 |

First, I'm Catholic and my religion plays into this story. If I say something that needs clarification, let me know.
To start, I am on the younger side as people have speculated.
I met her through youth group and church retreats. I had a sneaking suspicion that she liked me; I messaged her for the first time on April 19th, 2017. She didn't reply until the next morning, her birthday. What followed can only be described as 6 months of the deepest friendship I'd ever experienced. During this time, we spent a lot of time together, but weren't even thinking about dating. Soon after our friendship began she told me that she felt called to join religious life as a nun. However, she was conflicted; she wanted to be married, but she also wanted to be a part of religious life. We spent countless hours talking, texting, and praying for her vocation.
This all came to a head when over text I told her that if I had to marry one person it would be her. From there on out things started to change: we started holding hands and talking a lot about the possibility of our friendship becoming something more and our wish to someday be married to each other. She still felt conflicted between religious life and marriage as vocations, but she felt strongly about me and wanted to see where this went.
One night at around 12 AM we decided over text that we were going to start dating.... and then her mom flipped out about something completed unrelated and she lost her phone for 3 days. I was a bit stressed out.
When she got her phone back we decided to meet at her house (located near a lake) to make things official. Before arriving, I stopped at a dock we liked to sit on that was on the way to her house. The night before I had bought a fake white rose (she had prayed to God to send her a white rose as a sign that she would be married / I could only find fake roses on short notice). I hid the rose under the dock and was almost discovered because she drove past on her way home with her mom (who saw me).
I get to her house and we decide to take a scooter ride down to the dock to talk. We get there, and I ask her if she was having second thoughts. She smiled and told me she wasn't. I told her, "Well in that case I have something for you." I then turned around and started walking up the dock. I pulled the rose out of its hiding spot, she immediately understood the symbolism behind it. I told her that it was a fake rose, "because like my love for you it will never die."
We then sat down with our feet dangling over the water and I asked her, "so are you my girlfriend now?" Of couse she said yes :). We hugged, and I kissed her on the forehead for the first time and I told her I was going to marry her someday.
Our first official date was homecoming, there was a tornado watch and my sister, mom and I stayed at her family's house until 2 AM (sorry no sex part).
Alrighty guys, this concludes part one of what will probably be a three-part post. One post per day.
Before I go I want to stress that while we were young to be talking about marriage, we did so with a lot of prayer, adult guidance, and careful consideration. We spent about two months talking about that subject every day for hours. Also, you may be wondering why we haven't kissed or had sex yet. Don't worry, I will explain this in detail later.

209,763 | People can learn that drugs are harmful through a better education system, not through overdosing on tainted street drugs or by having their lives ruined by being convicted of a felony due to archaic drug laws that attempt to enforce morality. | That's how Scientology started | Unfortunately, there is no universal "moment of clarity" for anyone. There isn't a moment that all of us addicts share where we all go "yes, I need to quit now."
For me, that moment of clarity came when I was confronted by my mother for the second time (after she thought I had gotten clean a first time). She then brought me into the living room with the siblings and even phone my older brother, who was also an addict and in recovery at that time.
Seeing the devastation I was bringing to my family and most of all my mother was when I realized the life I was living was not, and could never be, worth it. The pain and discomfort of getting clean was going to be well worth it to put an end to the pain I was inflicting on my loved ones.
That may not be the only moment of clarity that matters, though. There's another one that's often just as, if not more, important than that, and it's finding out *why* you've gotten addicted. No one wakes up one morning and thinks "I'd really like to drastically change and probably ruin my life by getting addicted to opiates and potentially kill myself with them." There's almost always some underlying reason, something you're trying to escape or run away from that heroin or oxy or hydros or whatever offers a refuge from.
For me, it took a long time to realize what it was. I was talking to my mother about why I was at the place I was, and I remember saying things that I hadn't actually consciously realized yet, it was like some unconscious part of me was providing the words to help myself understand, if that makes any sense. My addiction started shortly after my family moved away, I was pretty much all alone for the first time in my life. Often, the only times I could actually hang out with friends was by doing drugs with them, and even if I couldn't hang out with them, being high was enough to make me forget about how god damn lonely I was.
The realization that not only was I hiding from something, but actually being able to identify what it was combined with the sudden understanding of how much I was hurting my recently-returned family was what finally allowed me to make the decision and put in the effort to get clean. I have not used a single time since that morning.
There is one thing I want to suggest for you. You'll know better than I will if it will work for you, but given that you've been doing this on and off for about 10 years, it seems to me that there's some flaw that needs to be fixed before you can fix yourself, and I've seen it a lot.
Maybe this time, don't try to taper off the suboxone so quickly. I know that staying on it for a prolonged period isn't fun, there's a stigma attached to it and people say it's just trading one addiction for another, but that's utter bullshit. Suboxone can be a real life saver if you use it correctly, and just using it to replace your drug of choice and taper off immediately is not *always* the best course of action.
Take it to keep yourself healthy and happy while you work on rebuilding anything in your life that you've damaged or destroyed. Work on your relationships and make a great support network. Keep yourself productive, work on any mental health issues that may be causing you problems, get yourself into a routine. Set yourself up for success so that when it's time to taper off and eventually be off suboxone, you won't have a reason to run back to heroin or other opiates to hide from any problems.
Suboxone can give you the power to work through the underlying issues that caused your addiction in the first place without doing more damage. And it has the added benefit of making relapsing and getting high damn near impossible and, assuming you're at the correct dosage, will make you not crave it at all.
I wish you the best of luck going forward, and I really hope you're able to kick it for good this time. The addict life is not an enjoyable one and getting away from it is the best decision I've ever made. I hope you can say the same soon, too. | e6blk2o | duzw3g7 | e6bzce2 | KarmaticArmageddon | KarmaticArmageddon | Asternon | 9hfbiz | 810fda | 9hfbiz | IAmA | news | IAmA | 1 |

209,796 | Because as a general rule doctors don't like to test your fertility unless you've been trying to conceive for at least a year, and even then, especially if you're young, they still give you the "just try for a while and see if it happens, you have time".
This really should be just a matter of requesting and receiving the tests you pay for.
Edit: they could some basic testing (AMH, FSH, egg reserve and quality) that should give you an idea, but it doesn't mean you're definitely fertile/infertile. It gives you an idea how much time you have in terms of ovarian reserves. This test shouldn't be unreasonably expensive if you want to find these facts out. There isn't perhaps point going into more invasive testing such as are your tubes blocked or open (testing with HSG), do you have polyps or fibroids or other issues, unless you specifically suspect you have fertility problems. I also wouldn't use these as "woohoo I can forego contraceptives now"-plan but in terms of "when should I start thinking about having a family" if it concerns you, the tests can be helpful. | Like I said "general good idea about your fertility health" - not a guarantee down the road. Perhaps someday when fertility is cared for as much as prevention, seasonal testing will be a normal thing and you'd no longer have to get taken by surprise of having premature ovarian failure or diminished ovarian reserve. Here's hoping. :) | It’s nearly impossible for doctors to sufficiently test for every single thing that could cause infertility. The ovarian cycle and the process of implantation is such an unbelievably complex series of events and a dysfunction in even one small component of that system can cause infertility. It’s expensive, time consuming, and completely unnecessary for the average woman. People think fertility is cut and dry but it’s incredibly complex.
