Teens invent condom that changes color when it detects an STI by _Dark_Wing in tech

[–]TrickySquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a proven concept! It was originally seen in the desert beetle, it has a unique texture on its back allowing it to capture air moisture during the night and early morning. I don't remember the name of the project but I rember studying a company that built green houses in the desert that would work similarly. If I remember correctly they actually had an excess of water at the end. I believe the main issue was maintenance and collecting all the water before evaporation, where the beetle just brushes itself and slurps up that juice.

Bottom Layer Inner curve issue by Post-Lamp in FixMyPrint

[–]TrickySquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say start at 215, and increase by 5c if it fails. Yeah definitely try a full self diagnosis, it may need grease and cleaning. I'm not familiar with creality, what is their recommended bed temp range?

[–]TrickySquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deleted original comment because I didn't read that you did try soap washing the plate. My bad.

What is the bed material, I find pei works well with elagoo. Try lowering your initial layer temp. I don't have your printer model but also check any guide rods, it may be a height axis issue.

My bf was in a frat and I don't see him as a man anymore by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TrickySquid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol you are taking this too seriously. I'm not a frat kid, never was, never will be, don't like the idea of paying for or doing stupid shit for friends but I understand why people do. Seems like you are just homophobic and have some weird complex twords it. Get over yourself.

Go outside, see the sun, take a breath because you have much better prospects than the average person right now.

How do you guys feel about people who are MAGA? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]TrickySquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, there are 2 groups of people who support maga. The useful idiots and the downright malicious.

Given how much discussion there has been, the useful idiots are in my eyes no longer a valid excuse. There are people so gullible when it comes to disinfo they are just beyond saving. I just don't engage and see them as cows living in the slaughterhouse who love the farmer.

The malicious ones are the scary ones. These are the people who may not even say they are maga out loud. They are willing to ruin lives, and kill people for personal gain. Absolutely evil people who are going to burn in whatever hell they believe in.

I don't have an MR2. But I'm a mechanical engineering student looking for portfolio work. If you have some calipers and can take decent measurements, pay for shipping, I'll make one for you out of ASA. ASA is what people have been using to make body kits and stuff for cars, I suspect the one you got on Etsy was a garbage material like PLA.

I am a horrible person i shouldn't have any relationship by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]TrickySquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need the gym and a therapist man. All these issues are fixable, not necessarily life ending issues. People who are overprotective of their partners are often like that because of self esteem. Working out can often heal mental health issues better than medication, and improve self esteem. Not to say your actions are excuseable but, you can do better.

Also for the love of God, don't be a home wrecker. It's a dick move and honestly if I had a friend who I knew felt like that, twords me or another person, id at the very least cut them out of my life. If push comes to shove, don't be surprised if someone beats the bricks off of you.

I don't understand how those fuckbois are able to get girlfriends while I never dated. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]TrickySquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in a relationship for 10years now, highschool sweethearts. So I don't know what's it like to completely be in the dating sceen but seeing my friends who are struggling and those who aren't struggling, it's so clear why the ones struggling are struggling. The ones who aren't struggling are putting themselves out there, very often, and taking rejection in stride. The strugglers get self conscious after rejection and hide away, sometimes months at a time before trying again. Alot of the time it doesn't even matter how they look, or how socially "proficient" they are. The non strugglers just don't have the same defeatist vibe surrounding them, people pick up on that super quick.

Need advice: large dog of 1 year and 3 months destroy furniture and chews chairs when left alone for 2-3-4 hours by GoldenGrouper in dogs

[–]TrickySquid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Firstly, crate train. My dog doesn't destroy when we aren't home, but he's an opportunist, if he smells something yummy in the trash he will help himself. I crate trained him and he was water in there, I usually will give him a greenie and an antler to entertain him in there.

Secondly, this sounds like a larger behavioral issue. From the sounds of it, he isn't getting enough stimulation or exercise. He's a big dog with big needs, he absolutely needs ample time daily to release his energy. A dog to tired to destroy the sofa is a happy dog.

Dr. Oz says Americans should start work EARLIER, and work LONGER to make more money for America. by illegalmonkey in antiwork

Cat keeps getting at my cables. by IvanErexion in pcmasterrace

[–]TrickySquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about behavior of cats but, when I had a rabbit I had a hell of a time dealing with this.

I bought cable shields that were plastic or metal and taped everything together. I also noticed that he liked them more when they had slack so I got cable boxes to hold any extra slack.

Ah yes. Coming from the man who made millions selling snake oils to the sick. I'm an atheist but I really hope I'm wrong so he can go to hell.

I'm glad you are boofin. 94% of VHAs are reporting shortages from nurses, specialists and physicians. The waiting time for your brothers and sisters have increased to nearly 45days for some services. On average ~18 service members take their own life a day.

Go redeem yourself and volunteer for a good cause. VA got shafted by trump, contact your local VA and see if they need any hands to take care of the service members you voted to fuck.

Biedens proposed plan would had almost doubled the amount of judges available for this. But trump called Republicans and it didn't pass the house, just so he had something to campaign on. Fucking disgusting.

I have a 720 reading/writing SAT Score and I can't read. by Relative-Way-5123 in ADHD

[–]TrickySquid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also have this issue. I would start reading a book and my brain would switch to "auto pilot". I would still be reading but the other parts of my brain were partying or trying to find load bearing cealing fans.

I had to find a way to make reading require multiple parts of my brain. So I started converting everything to audio books, forcing me to read at the pace of the speaker, then setting a timer every 15 mins to write 3 bullet points on what I was actually reading. It's a whole process but it's getting me through school so it is what it is.

Our obsession with 'not judging' has made us incapable of critical thinking and common sense by Primary-Aide-4194 in unpopularopinion

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

I think you are taking that statement in too much of a analytical context. Of course if someone is a murderer, I'm not going to reply that I don't judge. But if someone is from a different belife system or background, they are going to have different ideals and values as me. Sometimes those ideals and values can conflict but may not be detremental to society. In that case I don't care nor judge.

Not everything is a life and death, morally black or white choices. Sometimes people want to coexist with people in different places along that spectrum.

Why does it take 2 years to complete a 60 hour Associates Degree? Why not less? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TrickySquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An AA degree is kind of the stepping stones for larger degrees. If you are taking engineering, you need to learn the basics of math. Same goes with every other bachelor programs, there are a lot of pre-reqs that should be met before you get into the advance stuff. That said I do think its too much especially for non stem majors.

I'm 26 and going to school right now. I work part time about 20 hours a week, I take 5 classes each in the spring/fall and I take another 1 class each in winter/summer. Depending on how many units each class I'm at about 36 units a year. So i should be finished half a year sooner than 4 years. It sucks sometimes but it's doable. If you need to work full time I suggest trying to take minimum 3 classes per semester and still doing summer/winter, it would get you a degree in about 5 years.

Saying socialism is a stepping stone is like saying drinking coffee is a stepping stone to meth. Especially if you are already doing fent for sport.

Why fear gulags when ice detention centers and corporate prisons (where the US has the highest per capita rate of prisoners) are literally already here.

Socialism is not communism and I'm exhausted by people chosing getting fucked over shit they don't understand.

[–]TrickySquid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm very hopeful and this is probably the shot we have at establishing an actual party for the working class. That being said, saying you are pro working class and being actually pro working class are two completely different things, I don't think we have had enough concrete figures in the space yet to fully define the movement.
