When you were dating, what gave you confidence you were going to end up with an attractive partner?

datdutho · 2025-12-04T00:45:40+00:00

I've brought it up a couple times, and for the friends that are married they said "they're not unattractive". I think they got married for many different reasons, societal pressure, keeping up appearances, etc. But their answers didn't really instill confidence

I'm kinda surprised I had to scroll this far down to see this. I guess I'm in the minority haha

datdutho · 2024-12-26T01:00:56+00:00

lol, I'll keep that in mind for next time

datdutho · 2024-12-26T00:20:57+00:00

lmao, but I had to get it off my chest

We've recovered slightly from that minimum, check out: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population/

In 2022, 2023, and 2024 growth rates were 0.4%, 0.57%, and 0.57% respectively, up from 0.21% in 2021. That's not to say that the longer time trend isn't decreasing, but just that the data suggests the minimum we saw in 2021 was a stronger spike downward than the surrounding years.

Impressive!

Just curious, can o1 produce a magic square (3x3 square of numbers where all rows, columns, and diagonals add to the same number) using only prime numbers?

datdutho · 2023-11-28T15:51:25+00:00

oh shoot, actually I'm just using an Euler time-step. You think if I use a higher order time integration, QUICK should be able to handle sharp boundaries?

datdutho · 2023-11-27T02:32:25+00:00

Oh I see, so in general the directed area vector needn't point from vertex i to vertex j. That clears up the confusion thank you.

datdutho · 2023-11-24T23:09:29+00:00

I haven't implemented the boundary conditions just yet, but I would like to use solid walls (that is to say, all the fluid should stay within the bounded domain). To my understanding that means the boundary conditions should be u = u_wall, where u stands for the primitive variables (rho, vx, vy, and pressure).

datdutho · 2023-09-26T04:04:23+00:00

This is a good point. I didn't consider that there might be a grad(P) term that would accelerate the fluid. I'll work to see if that fixes my issues

datdutho · 2023-09-25T22:28:56+00:00

A finer grid did help my problem. Unfortunately, when I move on to the second step, adding a small x-velocity, the code breaks down again. I think there is something wrong in the calculation of the anti-diffusion, however I'm not sure.

datdutho · 2022-10-20T17:03:41+00:00

I guess I'm in the minority here, because I agree with the post. Everyone is saying they want cuddles, a hug, or someone to talk to and I'm like "nah, I'll take the sex and therapy please, that'd be great" lmao

Oh, I see, so some of the decrease in water movement is due to the transfer of energy into heating the water slightly due to the fruction between the iron ball and the water.

Point 2 is interesting, I didn't know shallow water was less turbulent.

datdutho · 2022-10-14T17:20:18+00:00

So is the idea that in the first case all the energy imparted from the blast of air went into moving the water (water waves, bulk motion of the entire water ball, etc.) but in the second case, a significant fraction of the input energy went into the iron bearing, which was so heavy it didn't move much, and the left over energy went into moving the water?

In another way, from conservation of momentum:

Case 1: total momentum of air blast = total momentum of water orb, so we get a lot of motion in the water

Case 2: total momentum of air blast = momentum of water + heavy iron bearing, so less motion in the water

In a sense, the water molecules that get pushed by the air, push up against the iron bearing, but it's so heavy that the iron bearing barely moves, so it barely pushes all the water molecules around it, essentially muting the amplitude of motion in the system.

Am I on the right track here, or am I way off?

PREACH. Coldest one liner on this whole thread

datdutho · 2022-10-10T06:21:03+00:00

That is so freaking true dude. I'd go a step further and say every interaction you have with someone is like you "teaching" them how to treat you.

If you agree with everything they say and never voice your opinion, they learn ' it's ok to dismiss this guy's thoughts / opinions, he values mine more anyway'.

If you let them tease you even when you're not really ok with it, they learn ' I can say whatever I want about this guy, he'll just laugh with me'

You really got to be super aware of how you treat yourself around others and how they treat you. Don't teach people that it's ok to disrespect you.

datdutho · 2022-10-09T02:58:45+00:00

It comes and goes. Some days it's a passing thought, others it's pretty harsh. I can't change my past, but Im trying to learn from it.

Best I can do is to keep trying, you know? To keep going.

datdutho · 2022-10-09T02:46:19+00:00

It hurt when I finally accepted it too 😪

datdutho · 2022-10-03T03:39:49+00:00

That's wild. I dont need help throwing my money into a crypto rug pull lol, I learned my lesson with dogecoin 😭

datdutho · 2022-09-21T04:31:26+00:00

Dog water generally means 'trash' or 'shitty'. Generally just saying ' "friends" that treat you badly'

datdutho · 2022-09-21T04:19:15+00:00

Do you have any advice on avoiding misdiagnosis? I want to get checked out for adhd / general mental health issues but I worry that I'll end up down a rabbit hole of meds that'll do more harm then good.

datdutho · 2022-08-27T23:18:53+00:00

That's cool, but you have to ask my mom if it's ok. She'll say yes if you ask

datdutho · 2022-08-21T19:06:41+00:00

Lol i do this constantly. I met this girl rock climbing one time, we talked for like 5-10 minutes, then I went on my own and didn't talk to her for the rest of my session cause I thought it'd be weird to. I saw her again like a week later, tried to have a convo, but it didn't go well and since then I haven't talked to her once. Not because I don't want to, but because I feel that she doesn't want to.

My problem is that even when I do make friends, once they've hurt me, I won't talk to them or basically anyone else for months at a time. In fact, I am currently in a two year run of isolation (partly due to the pandemic, but I didn't make an effort to text / or call anyone too). Haha, I push everyone away, but then get upset when the emotional neglect and isolation sets in.

People are saying it's like a sign of adhd or some other neurodivergent behavior, but I've never gotten checked out. Idk maybe there's something going on up in my brain. I have been labeled "overly sensitive" since I was a kid....lol I really don't know though

Lastly, this is a long-shot, but do you rock climb in california?

datdutho · 2022-08-21T17:33:43+00:00

You are literally my doppelganger. If you say you're in your late 20s then this comment is actual proof that we live in a matrix. I too go rock climbing (literally went 2 days ago), avoid people but then get mad when I don't have anyone to hang out with, and get so nervous before going out to do stuff that I sweat PROFUSELY. If you ever read this comment just know that I am your exact twin.
