Did you guys know that it was going to be one of the most important movies ever? Was there a huge buzz going into it, or were you just blown away by this movie? Did anything you had previously seen compare to it?

Edit: Obviously talking about episode 4 in 1977. I don't want to know about seeing it in 1997, because I did that.

Just curious about the beginings and such. Any admins or oldfags out there with some fun stories about the young, up and coming site?

I'm hazy on exactly what this is, anything you know about it would be cool.

Specifically custom houses--What was it like to work with someone to plan the house? What kind of features were easy to integrate? Hard? How long did it take you to build it? What kind of work did you do yourself?

Tell me about it!

So, this subreddit has been going on for a couple weeks, and we have a surprisingly large number of subscribers. However, it really doesn't seem like the reddit is living up to its potential. I see a lot of good TMA's going unanswered. This is probably due to the fact that we only have 350 or so subscribers, so we don't have experts on every topic.

It seems like we are in sort of a vicious cycle right now: we have mediocre threads because we don't have many subscribers, but we don't have many subscribers because we have mediocre threads. As such, I'd like to request that you current subscribers of TMA try to help expand the TMA subreddit.

I don't want to come off as desperate or anything, because TMA will be fine if we keep it as is, but I know it would benefit greatly from more subscribers. So, I would greatly appreciate it if you current subscribers tried to get the word out there on TMA. This is a totally voluntary thing, because I assume many of you don't really care.

If you could tell your reddit friends about the subreddit, or if you could mention it in threads, i think it would be very beneficial for the subreddit. Also, if there are people who do a great deal to expand TMA, I will give them moderator privileges.

TL;DR: We need more subscribers, wanna help out?

tell me something you find interesting about yourself. I'll start. I'm a compulsive liar (or am i?) . can't stop doing it, don't even know why i do it sometimes.

I always hear about him, but don't really know why he's so popular. Wikipedia just tells me about his works and life, so I don't really know why a lot of people relate to his works.

I remember this caused a huge deal for a day some time after it was announced, saying it could shut down the government or something. Appreciate this, guys!

virtual currency? is it like paypal or fantasy money? wikipedia did not clarify anything for me. what's the deal? how/when/where is it used? how does one acquire bitcoins? is there a very practical reason for its existence?

As a guy, I'll probably never understand what the 9 months and the actual birthing process is like. Can any reddit moms tell me what that was like? Physically, emotionally, socially, whatever.

How is starch pulled from corn? How does cornstarch switch from a solid to a liquid?

Been curious, as I drive one, but don't understand the mechanics of how it works. Recently learned that keeping a hold of the stick while driving is bad because it needs that little bit of vibration.

Hello r/TMA,

I've just gotten my driving license today, and my dad has passed down a 1979 FB RX-7 to me. Of course, I'm in love with the car as I've grown up riding around in the car. This car isn't just a car to me; it's a reminder of my awesome childhood and family. Thus, I've taken to reading up on the car in order to take the best care of it that I can.

I've been reading about rotary engines and how they work. It sounds to me like rotary engines are much more efficient than piston engines due to their design. The fact that all four engine cycles occurs in the same chamber and is handled by rotaries as opposed to the conversion to motion handled by pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft.

Maybe this is just blind love or newbie curiosity, but why aren't rotary engines more common?

I frequently see people saying they have a 3.0 or 4.0 average, usually the latter in a statement intended as impressive, so from what I've gathered, US GPA's increase with marks.

I live in Australia, where my GPA is 78:

Pass: 50 - 60%

Credit: 60 - 70%

Distinction: 70 - 80%

High Distinction: 80%+

I needed a 75 to get into law, if that assists in calculating my GPA in any way.

What does the Java virtual machine do? Do they depend on architecture or operating system or neither? How were the vm's made for the different operating environments?

I'm looking for a more in depth or technical explanation then I've found through a bit of curiosity

I've become interested in information theory and learning algorithms regarding research. I know nothing about it, other than it sounds really impressive. Help?

looking to migrate from US to australia. Heard amazing things, looking for a slower pace and higher quality of life. Also want distance between me and some issues with family.

i don't understand wtf hash tags are, or any of the other twitterisms for that manner.

i hate the dreadful things. but a co-worker asked me what their purpose on earth was and i cannot seem to find anything useful. (we are bored today.)

I get that the game has been in development for 12 years, but I played Duke Nukem 3d for N64 and really didn't like it. What's with the obsession?
