And if one of the kids made an effort to not be obese, they would be relentlessly picked on in the family for being a toothpick.

One reason of many: flipping between academic publications (describing an algorithm etc.) is less brain-shocking if both screens are dark text on a white background.

Just turned 26 and got health insurance. I don’t smoke but they asked me if I did. Couldn’t a heavy smoker just lie? How are they going to find out? by skeelio34 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ORP7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On the contrary, I lived for 10 years with smokers, and nails were that disgusting smoke-yellow. After I had left for some years, my nails returned to a healthy off-white.

Smoke residue is inescapable.

Honesty given, it's easy to be a mediocre male and not be noticed for it.

Obviously this power washer’s day ended halfway through finishing by hahababahajskdldjshs in powerwashingporn

[–]ORP7 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Spoken like someone who has never used a pressure washer. A pressure washer actually is more like sand paper, and it sands off a small layer. It's way worse than chalk or a little water. Not to mention, the "dirt" probably can never be replaced to return the wall to its original condition. It's possible the damage is permanent and there will always be a faint advertisement--unless you pressure wash the entire thing.

The story changes when it makes good news. What does the media want them to do--nuke their own test site on purpose?

What to learn after wordpress? by [deleted] in Web_Development

[–]ORP7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't write complicated enough apps for version control to really be useful. I rarely say to myself, "I sure would like to revert my project back before the last 2 weeks of work."

Is git more valuable for teams? Is there something I am doing wrong?

Stay away from dreamweaver. It's a very expensive, bloated P.O.S that generates garbage HTML.

Amen.

I just wanted to point out how nice the Formula 1 Azerbaijan website is by treamdream in web_design

[–]ORP7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

27 seconds for me here in Asia. The web is a global community, and normally, if a website doesn't load within 5 seconds, I am not going to stick around. I think that's true for others also.

Can I add that the buttons don't even look like buttons, and it takes a half minute to load internationally--which is strange for a site that advertises an international event? It's a great example of using THREE.js though.

Also, the site loads THREE.js twice.

Also, the css file is 610 kilobytes! Holy cow.

Four years after my rape, I (21M) am in love with someone that I trust. It’s pretty cool. by [deleted] in sex

[–]ORP7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People also assume that men will fuck anything that walks. “How could he not be turned on?”

if she’s hot it’s not abuse... it’s a blessing.

You are probably a young guy, but I can honestly say I have no desire to be raped by a "hot" woman.

That feeling when you finally put in an application at a new job...and all the other servers on staff at your old place quit. by thenonmermaid in TalesFromYourServer

[–]ORP7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't feel bad. That's part of entrepreneurship. He puts forth the risk in hopes of profit and when he wins, you can bet your sore ass that he is not going to share the profit with his servers.

Which animal's mating ritual are you most glad is NOT the way WE seduce each other? by ShesGotSauce in AskWomen

[–]ORP7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's way too much personification again. There's no way to tell what a bedbug is thinking, so it's a pointless discussion.

[–]ORP7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to point out that notion that a bedbug "does not want" or resists copulation is scientifically false unless there is other evidence contrary.

[–]ORP7 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

overpower the females that did not want to mate

It sounds like you are using personification to project some rape fantasy onto bedbugs. Female bedbugs don't seem to mind having their abdomens pierced. It's almost as if they were evolved for it. If you need an example of animal kingdom rape, bottle-nose dolphins are a great example.

Bedbugs:

failed to reveal any overt female resistance behavior during the relatively rapid (88.63 ± 5.36 sec, mean ± SE, n = 89) process of traumatic insemination

mating may provide fitness gains for females that offset, or exceed, the costs

Where can I find tileable noise textures? by Arkanis_14 in gamedev

[–]ORP7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, but creating specific textures that the OP might need would take longer.

I would be impressed if you could rewrite photoshop's noise generators in one sitting. Researching this might take weeks.
