I've got friends in their early 20s who are going gray, sometimes people's hair just does that. I don't think it means you are getting old.

wario  ·  3428 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Why do you shower in the morning?

I shower in the mornings because if I even have a 2 minute nap the heavens of grease open and all my hair sticks to my head and just looks awful. If I didn't shower in the morning I would go into work looking like a homeless man.

I so hope that they keep making progress, I have to get to space before I die! Elon Musk must sure be a busy guy with both this and Tesla, he isn't even that old I don't think. Makes me feel like a fat hobo.

I really want to use these open source good for humanity projects and when I do start to use them they usually suck but I was really impressed with OSM.. I got the android app and that's good too.

I wish duckduckgo could replace google as my search engine but it just doesn't have the results I am after, google knows exactly what I want and being an engineer it's all about the right answer.

wario  ·  3918 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Why Russia no longer fears the West

Interesting read, I do think it has become about the money in the west. One of Russia's oligarchs runs a premier league football club..

With regards to Russia are they happy with Crimea and their little show of force or are the gears cranking into motion on a bigger invasion plan?

wario  ·  3920 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Russia admits it has moved troops into Ukraine

I must admit I am not well versed on what's going on, so many different world conflicts at the minute. So as I understand it Ukraine has been unstable for a while and the country has decended into civil war and the president/primeminister has been ousted. Now is Russia seeing its chance to claim land on a weakened state or are they simply reorganising their current military bases located in Ukraine to protect their interests.

Basically is this a power grab? I hate how little I can keep abreast of world politics, I am trying now though..

Seriously what the hell is going on, are we living in a police state? They can't possibly be doing this for "terrorism". This is way above and beyond terrorism they must know that. There must be another motive.

That's cool, I'm sorry too, I was being a bit touchy.. Let's be friends

Oh god I am so sorry to barge in on your website, I was being light hearted get over it dude.

Why are you finding it hilarious as even though there might not be corrupt mods or censorship on reddit the evidence that the government IS infiltrating and manipulating opinion and websites/blogs. It isn't hilarious its Stasi-esque.

I haven't left Reddit I just saw this site in a post and thought it would be cool to check out and everyone has been cool to me today except you.

wario  ·  3923 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is Hubski euphoric or full of neckbeards or anything else I need warning of?

lol wut? I was obviously messing around, just asking if this place had the typical reddit stereotypes..

wario  ·  3923 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What are some good tags to follow?

Ahh right I just thought you meant tags when you said personal tags I didn't know they were a separate thing. Thanks dude

wario  ·  3923 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is Hubski euphoric or full of neckbeards or anything else I need warning of?

I was just wondering about the url scheme here, is there something to reddit where I could say go to hubski/t/dogs for tags about dogs or, hubski/u/wario for me? I always liked that feature. I guess you aren't reddit though so I shouldn't try and turn you into it.

wario  ·  3923 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is Hubski euphoric or full of neckbeards or anything else I need warning of?

I was only messing around but I guess by euphoric I meant the usual crowd from /r/atheism (as an atheist myself I find the whole sub a bit embarrassing) . Also everyone know what a neckbeard is right?

wario  ·  3924 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: The New TextSecure: Privacy Beyond SMS

Thanks for this, I used their stuff last year but getting anyone apart from my girlfriend to setup the key stuff was just never happening.

What they need is a web/windows/osx version too. One thing I love about hangouts is that it is ubiquitous. Text secure needs to be that too.

The new UI is gorgeous too, the dark theme is great plus the icon on my home screen doesn't look crap any more either! Good job guys.

wario  ·  3924 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What are some good tags to follow?

So can you use hubski as a personal blog too and just keep tagging your stuff with your own tag? or is that frowned upon.

I ask as I would like a place to document my electronics designs I think people might like publicly.

wario  ·  3924 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is Hubski euphoric or full of neckbeards or anything else I need warning of?

Only suggestion I would have would be to point people to the primer at the end, unless I missed that..

Thanks for your help, one last thing, the only way for me to know that people were replying to this post was to actually go to the post and check the comments.. are there any kind of inbox/notifications? or is that all in the feed?

wario  ·  3924 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is Hubski euphoric or full of neckbeards or anything else I need warning of?

It's a shame there isn't an alienblue equivalent for this thing too. I can just never seem to bring myself to use browser based sites on my mobile phone. Apps are much nicer to use.

wario  ·  3924 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is Hubski euphoric or full of neckbeards or anything else I need warning of?

Hey thinks I was looking for something like this but couldn't see it. Maybe the tutorial should have it as the last page.

Also the tutorial sucked! I still don't really understand how the wheel system works but ah well I am sure I will get it.

wario  ·  3923 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Any other reddit exiles ?

If someone ever does make an app. Alienblue has to be the model it is so superior to the android ones. Also I think the dark theme on this site is gorgeous so could that be included. I wish I had millions of dollars to donate as I know how hard it must be to get an app off the ground because someone would maybe make an amazing android one and immediately someone would ask for ios.. Then I know I want to use this site on my ipad, so an ipad friendly one would be needed. Lot of work

So...get going, I expect it on my desk by Monday

wario  ·  3923 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Reddit censors big story about government manipulation and disruption of the Internet

Ill try NPR it is honestly too much effort trying to wade the shit from the good. I need something reputable delivered right to me. The guardian politics podcast is quite good so I imagine ill like NPR

wario  ·  3923 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Do I file bugs in here?

The timing thing would explain it, it is very erratic but it happens more times than not. About 5 mins ago every time I went to the tags page it was logged in but now I go back and it's logging me out again.

I'd say it happens maybe 60% of the time I don't care but I think for new users it's the kind of thing that puts you off as it confused me at first.

wario  ·  3923 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Is Hubski euphoric or full of neckbeards or anything else I need warning of?

I am definitely going to check that out. The drinking club is a great ideal I have never tried mead so might get involved.
