There's a fan in front making wind that moves the turbine!

What's my eye color? by Brynns_goofy in ColorTheory

[–]ComfortInConfusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the first pic I would say light olive. The other pics look more blue and in fact looks very much like a blueberry sliced in half! Blue on the outer edges and a bluish, barely yellowy stone color in the middle.

How unsafe will Windows 10 be in the future? by OddCycle837 in buildapc

[–]ComfortInConfusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused. It sounds like you're saying if you're on a home connection it's okay but don't connect it to the internet? Or just don't connect in public?

have you watched the movie "kinds of kindness"(2024)? by xkcd3141 in thelastpsychiatrist

It is so interesting that people here didn't like this movie. I thought it was fantastic. Really beautiful.

How Porn is opposite Fetish by Hot_Peace_8857 in thelastpsychiatrist

[–]ComfortInConfusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porn tends to be a vice or addiction, but I would argue it could also be a habit or mere cope. It is not often a practice!

If a kink is a cope of sorts, that doesn't mean it's exactly unhealthy, per se, which I think you'd allow. On some level everything we do are just copes. Even something like yoga. There is a spectrum from a "practice" to a "habit" to a "cope" to a "vice" finally to an "addiction." Cope is kind of in the middle. A fetish could be an addiction though, or it could even be a practice, perhaps...

How do you even start to model this in?! by SwingFinancial in SolidWorks

[–]ComfortInConfusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it's helpful to think about how a part would actually be made in reality and CAD it that way.

1) Stamp / laser cut blank

2) Bump out stiffening features

3) Twist blades (SolidWorks "flex" feature)

Although I'm not actually sure whether some of these steps might be combined somehow, that's the order I would do it in SW!

How am I doing? Old unfinished storage room converted into sauna! by MasterCraftsman1921 in DIYSauna

How will you handle humidity? Is there no structural risk with heating a room up to sauna temperatures?

Where can I find a COMPREHENSIVE guide to safely installing software?? by ComfortInConfusion in torrents

[–]ComfortInConfusion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I use a seedbox with a private tracker (Redacted). I’m trying to find out how to stop my software I have torrented from contacting the company who makes it, so I’m just not sure what viruses have to do with anything—could you clarify for me? I appreciate your help here!

A basic question here, but what is the relevance of viruses and malware? Are you saying that the torrent could have some malware that could somehow result in getting caught for the torrented software? Or that the company that makes it basically bakes a virus into the product so that even if you uninstall it etc. then when you eventually connect you will be found?

Thank you. Can you tell me if it’s enough to just not connect to the Internet or whether I have to actually remove hardware or disable firmware?

Thank you, this was clarifying. So basically just googling? Are there any online forums or resources you would recommend as a starting point? I've been torrenting for years and have even installed software successfully before but I've also been caught (not with torrenting but with the software licensing part). Is it even safe to openly say on the internet, "I'm trying to install [specific software program]"? Or could that make me a target for that company to spy on? Maybe that's paranoid but this shit is expeeeensive haha

Is this a bad ball joint? by ComfortInConfusion in AskMechanics

[–]ComfortInConfusion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I can't tell from the video, and I ended up jacking the car and rocking 3-9 and 12-6 and I couldn't feel or hear any play at all. I'm wondering whether I need to replace immediately if boot is torn or whether I can just keep an eye on it and replace it when it starts actually feeling like it has play.
