Top Reddit reviews mentioning Text to Speech Apps:
She has mental problems. She pretends that it never happened. She also denies getting wasted and forgetting to pick me up at Karate when I was 12. I walked three miles in the snow at night , in sandals and my karate gi, in January in Colorado. She showed up at home three hours later, puked in the hallway and passed out.
She is different now, but refuses to acknowledge what a shitty parent she was.
Edit: Spelled gi correctly. Also looked up the exact distance. It was actually 3.5 miles
That's Plaza Cleaners in Portland, OR. It says Plaza Cleaners on the sign inside the door. It's located at 909 NW Everett St. You can even see the sign in the window HERE.
Not Elite Cleaners, not Minneapolis. Sorry. I know this came from that buzzfeed post going around, seems like they made shit up.
Except he won't. He'll almost certainly be sent to Ila with the worst of the worst.
TIME has become pure shit. I notice the Daily Mail has this "story" also.
Edit: Ila, btw, was a concentration camp during the German occupation. A seasoned inmate expects our man to rank somewhat below the pedophiles in that institution.
imagine being the google maps driver for this area, i can't believe how bad this place is
i had no idea ~~parts of philly~~ camden was this bad.
This happened during a protest in Rio. The MP officer was suspended for using pepper spray on civilians. Another picture and news report here.
I didn't actually know. I just checked Google Maps for crossroads in approximate distances from the places shown in the picture. The first guess was 10 kilometers off, the second crossroads was a direct hit. (There isn't many big roads / crossroads in Lapland.)
Helped being a Finn, though, since knew where to look at.
FAKE!
Just kidding, it's real. Still not sure what he is, but - in another shot, you can see a "CWF" on the back of his getup. South Africa seems nice.
This is in Norway. Reine in Lofoten.
Although this image has most definitely been altered either on camera or afterwards, I was there in February 2011 during the solar storm, seeing some of the most amazing northern lights I've ever seen and this place is absolutely breathtaking.
This is wrong. We have two kinds of sentences:
Prison
"Custody". Don't know a better English word. EDIT: sardinboks suggests "preventive detention".
If you are sentenced to 21 years in prison, you are out in 21 years (or less). If you are sentenced to 21 years of "custody", they evaluate you after 21 years to see if you are fit to join the society. If you are not, they keep you in prison for a while, and evaluate again. This is a potential life sentence.
For anyone wondering, this was Google's April Fools day prank in 2010 for Japan.

HOT DOG STAND OUTSIDE RUE CAFE
ASK FOR MISTER INPUT
Here's a link to the meetup location.
EDIT: Thanks to rophel for pointing out that it should be the Rue57 cafe.
Uh heb oo key, oo me! Uh heb oo key!
Here it is input into google translate: Click the "listen" button.
(They write it, "Ahebuka, ya oomee. Ana Ahebuka." There's a couple of extra words of no import "ya"[a form of address like "O"] and "ana"[like an extra I for the verb love], and they use the male form of address "ka" instead of the female "kee". But it's close, ;p.)
Actually, I know exactly where this is, and sorry to say, but this is most likely private property. Note that the red building in the background is Kildare's, though it used to be McFadden's, which can be seen in the google maps link that I provided.
It's a business area with a lot of bars at the south end of Ohio State University that is often patrolled with many police officers and it's not uncommon to see people being kicked out or even banned from this area. My friend was banned for mindlessly pulling some leaves off of one of the trees (the same trees you see the guy leaning against in the video).
Here's a scary eyewitness story from a girl that was there.
I'm looking at the television right now. The exsplosion went off in the goverment block where the Prime minister has his office. The whole building is wrecked. Most of the windows have blown out and it's pouring out black smoke from the building. There are also people who are hurt. It's total chaos here at the moment. The police have no control.
Edit They've just told us that you can see through one of the buildings. The exsplosion was a really big one. The Prime minister is in safety.
Edit 2 They've told us that there are several people dead. Nothing is confirmed at the moment though.
Edit 3 Just got confirmed that one person has been found dead. Most likely the amount of hurt and/or dead will rise. Also they think it's a car bomb which went off.
Edit 4 Now they say they've heard that there are even more people found dead. Two people are confirmed dead at the moment.
Edit 5 **This is the worst attack/incident in Norway since World War 2. The police have confirmed it's a terrorist attack.*
Edit 6 **It has been announced that there is a man who is dressed as a police officer who has begun shooting at teenagers at a summer camp. Some teenager are hurt or even killed. This shit is horrible!*
Edit 7 **Ten people at the camp are confirmed killed. The man who was dressed as a police officer had a glock and a machine gun with him.*
Here are two translated Norwegian articles from two of Norways biggest newspapers (both contain pictures, videos and so on of the scene):
Dagbladet:
VG:
I'm pretty sure what you linked to is a run of the river hydroelectric generating station, not any sort of mining operation. Your screenshot was taken here at what seems to be the outlet of the hydroelectric plant. If you move the map a bit farther upstream, you see the inlet to the hydroelectric plant here
Notice how the water going into the dam in the second location is the same colour as the water going out of the plant in the first location (your picture). Also, if you go to street view, you can see loads of power lines going away from the generating station and an old pelton wheel on display at the entrance.
That actually looks more like the White Castle in Brooklyn on Myrtle Ave, Near Washington https://maps.google.com/maps?q=white+castle+near+Myrtle+Avenue,+New+York,+NY&hl=en&ll=40.693736,-73.963534&spn=0.007012,0.016512&sll=40.702217,-73.921288&sspn=0.007044,0.016512&oq=white+castle+myrtle+av&hq=white+castle&...
SO! After some research I have concluded this is in fact not in Detroit. Notice the similarities between the sidewalks, The front of the white castle, and the building in the background, as well as the location of the Dumpster in the mid right third. I live near this white castle, IT IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT DETROIT.
Also chances are this wedding party actually took place at the bar next door, which is predominantly populated by the ethnic group you guys are referring to, in a grotesque and disgusting way IMO. It's called Bamboo Lounge.
OP. YOU FUCKED UP. How did no one notice this until now?
I think this is it: http://i.imgur.com/UsJQ8.png. Here's the Google maps link.
Here is the Google
> On mobile Firefox if you search thru Google for a address you cant click the link to the address take you to Google maps and continue from there.
That is why I have ceased using Google Maps. For navigation now I use OSMAnd. I especially like the fact the maps can be offline as it means I never miss a bit when driving through poor service areas.
Nobody has mentioned the WTF is this guy doing?
I'll raise you one better: Google Maps has a 360 degree panorama of the hut!
Friendly google maps link! of a guy buying drugs in Flint. poor google street view team. they were so young too.
I think they were done with the scene. Go up the street a bit. Figured this out because I noticed the car going from left to right so it would have been recording them before the point in the original post.
I love the fat guy in the tank top and his reaction in the drive by. "Hey, is that th... HEY GOOGLE!"
Then the one guy giving the google car the death stare.
edit I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT HE IS WEARING WHAT WE CALL A TSHIRT. THANK YOU
The norwegian police has reduced the number of dead from Utøya to 68.

It took a couple of hours to actually retype all this out. I'm sure a fair amount is incorrect but I did my absolute best with no translation experience.

I'm seriously wondering why this isn't newsworthy for reddit. I expected this community would react more strongly - it was the headline of SPIEGEL online yesterday.
Many people are in serious trouble because of this. At least they told American officials as fast as possible to get a warning out to all these people who might run into problems.
~~EDIT: I'd like to post the SPIEGEL article here, it's just google translated which kind of sucks to really understand it but I think it gives the best summary of what has happened from all the articles I've seen. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spiegel.de%2Fnetzwelt%2Fnetzpolitik%2F0%2C1518%2C783694%2C00.html~~
EDIT2: I'm sorry, I didn't need to do this google translate bullshit if I would have looked first. Someone on SPIEGEL online was wise enough to properly translate the article.
Here is the link: http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,783778,00.html
They have some great insights about Domscheit-Berg and the whole story how the password for the encrypted archive was found.
Edit3: Okay, now it has some attention. When I initially wrote this it had like 10 upvotes after 2 hours and the story itself broke yesterday.
I run that through Google Translate and I get "Problem horses". Either Google Translate fucked up, you fucked up, or you're a troll of the highest calibre.
If the latter... [](/ok)
Took this picture in downtown Atlanta a while back, it's an apartment building next to the library.
Found it!

Already been done (kinda).

Its chaos. Just spoke to a friend of mine, who lives like 300 meters away, he felt the blast as he stood in his livingroom window. He ran down the street and got there before the police and paramedics. People bleeding running and lying in the streets. The police has now evacuated everyone to a safe distance, but they arent sure if there if there will be more explosions. Rumours has it that there was a second explosion near parliament, but its not confirmed yet. No one knows how many has died. No one has taken responsibility for this yet, but they are pretty sure its a terrorist attack.
EDIT: Then lunatic was active on a right-wing discussion forum called document.no. Here is a transcript of every post he has made. http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=no&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.document.no%2Fanders-behring-breivik%2F
I seriously don't understand why this is in the WTF subreddit, or why people are commenting with that exact sentiment.
This isn't cruel — quite the contrary — but it isn't a vacation either. This is well below the current standard of living in Norway, so there is no incentive to commit crime based on prison facilities.
This is a rehabilitation prison. People go out of there much more likely to become productive and valuable, tax paying members of the community.
Our goal isn't to avenge the crime victim, and should be either. If the goal is to reduce crime rates, the reaction shouldn't be "WTF?!", it should be "What can we do to make this work elsewhere?"
EDIT: Also to serve here, you have to be considered low-risk, and you have to be motivated. Google translate of prison's web page
Seems to be real. Originals are from the Danish Ornithological Society website here:
"A photo story of a gull, who came into his life's storms as a peregrine falcon struck. Seagull escaped being eaten, but it ended without a feather on the neck, and when nature photographer Christine Raaschou-Nielsen came by, was it a glimpse of the cruelty of nature" (translation by Google)
Some further information : the fine is conditional, i.e. he's not going to pay anything yet. However, he has been arrested agian tonight. He will now be judged on charges related to wikileaks.
The precedent case was not related to wikileaks, Elmer has been found guilty of breaching the bank secrecy and blackmailing Julius Bär (a bank) since 2002. He has apparently tried to get money from Julius Bär in exchange for the bank account data, and decided to give the data to wikileaks when his blackmailing attempt failed. The judge ruled that the wistlebowing was an act of revenge.
Now he is charged with a breach of bank secrecy related to the fact he sent the CDs to Assange. The two cases have been separated for some reason I don't quite understand.
A recent article, original in German (Newspaper from Zurich) :
an extensive article on the case
Something else mildly interesting. Teds Luncheonette in Largo Florida is where parts of this scene were filmed.
I like to go there for my birthdays to have breakfast, the inside is pretty different, but there are still pictures of Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Quentin Tarantino, etc on the walls. Plus they make some awesome food too.
The military tried to take the camera away from a Norwegian TV crew, then the protesters came and formed a ring around them, to stop the military from taking their equipment. The protesters said to the crew "Come walk with us, you'll be safe there".
Here's a news article that's just published an hour ago. Strange translation though.
Original source translated by google for the lazy ones.
There was a demonstration against "JMJ" (pope's visit to spain), because it has been paid by the goverment. Some people from the JMJ blocked the demonstrators when they were near to Sol square. There were some disturbs between 'anti-pope' and 'por-pope'. At night when al the demonstrators were at Sol (peacefully, as far as I know) police charged against them and denied access to Sol to the press and some people with cameras.
EDIT: This is the best article i've read about what happened. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=es&sl=es&tl=en&u=http://stephanegrueso.blogspot.com/2011/08/la-manifestacion-laica-del-17-lo-bueno.html
Ok, some facts:
1 - This is the Insano water slide at Beach Park Fortaleza.
2 - It's not really new, I think it was built around 1995-6.
3 - I don't think there's ever been any serious accidents there. Aside from getting the wedgie of the ages you're pretty much safe.
4 - I've been there in 1998 and holy shit it's a great feeling.
Indeed, especially after the CEO of Crytek came out and promised PC gamers a PC game only to turn around and offer up the most transparent of ports.
I'm hoping it's just an issue with the demo, but really Crytek?
This neighborhood looks like a charming place to live...
Someone in the last thread suggested calling these Pubstomps and I think that's fucking brilliant. =)
Either way, now's the right time to get in touch with your local Barcraft and see if there's any interest among your community. Even if it ends up just being a poll with an overwhelming "not interested", do your part and give it a shot!
EDIT: Here's a map that has links to all of the BarCraft communities: BarCrafts around the world!
We don't always drink. But when we do...
On the serious note, PROTIP: that's an effect of a long alcohol consumption, like drinking as much as one can for a long period of time, like several weeks, with a few years training. Those weren't some random people.
NOT an accident, it just got organized. Shooting at the Labor summer camp.
In short: A guy in a police uniform opened fire against the Workers' Youth League.

This is a reminder for drivers to be mindful of speeding and of being watchful when driving in the highland of Finnmark in Norway. This is a tame reindeer, owned by some sami people, hit by a car, eaten by predators, and placed as the warning you see by the roadside.
There are no large predators in the waters of the great lakes. Try doing the same thing in ANY body of water in Florida. We used to go to swimming at this lake when I was a kid/teenager. I've been to the bottom out in the middle, which is roughly 25 ft. deep. I've also been swimming in that lake at night on multiple occasions. Stupidest thing I've ever done. We'd pull our cars up to the side of the lake and shine the headlights out over the water to see the yellow reflections off of the eyes of the handful of alligators watching us.

The Diomede Islands are two and a half miles apart. An ice bridge can form between the two islands in the winter, as can be seen on Google Maps.
And this is, in my opinion, the greatest thing ever built by man. Have a walk around it.
I love that while the english language version of that wikipedia page unambiguously declares it to be a "myth" the korean language version of the same page says that it's "controversial" and "known to cause death"
Darn Google needs to learn to clean up, they left secret strategy documents right out in the open.
Dammit, beat me to that. The other company visible is Westernco Donuts, and you can see the intersection is 4th and something that starts with "M" -- Marginal Way.
There were a lot of people who covered police cars, ambulances and fire trucks whit flowers, flags, stickers, poems, thank you cards and the like. You could also see the police and ambulance personnel walking around with large flower bouquets in their hands and/or also thank you cards.
I've never witnessed something like that in my whole life.
Here is also an translated article by a Norwegian newspaper:
Well... The communists are considered another occupational force in Poland. That's why the secret service executed 50 000 Home army soldiers after the war, to prevent a serious uprising. But you're right that there is bitter irony in this. Another example is Polish RAF pilots that would return to Poland to face execution.
EDIT: grammer + The last sentence was not completely correct this link though poorly translated by google provides a more diverse picture on Polish RAF pilots after the war. They were not directly repatriated by force.

What about The Big Android in the Server cage?
This is grass roofed house near Gol, Norway.
Looking this up on Google Maps - oh HELL no. There is no way I would live in the middle of a desert like that.
The Sill is approximately in the middle. There are some houses/buildings (whether occupied or not, unknown) up and down the Birdsville Track. Marree is SSW from The Sill; Birdsville is NNE.
Edit: I love the bush "airports", like Dulkaninna Airport. A long strip of dirt, in the middle of an endless sea of dirt, with no buildings.
Nice, those are all right next to each other in downtown Denver.
There are no winners or losers here. Believe me.

It's called war.
And it's ugly.
It isn't really as simple as "Christians vs. Muslims". The article mentions that the perpetrators are Salafist gangs - i.e. Saudi-funded, Wahhabi-like radicals who think that Saudi Arabia is a model state, claim that anyone who has a different opinion is an infidel, attack Muslims from other sects, stage sectarian mobs and raise Saudi flags. They're seen as extremists even by the Muslim Brotherhood, and it's odd that the current Egyptian leadership doesn't seem to be interested in taking some kind of clear action against them, considering that they're armed, violent, foreign-funded and potentially destructive.
I know you're joking, but this is how.
I would just like to add that similar gatherings and / or marches are being held all around the country.
Edit: Here is an article about what people did with the roses after the gathering. To quote the article: "We will color the city with kindness and love."
