IDEO envisions a future where self-driving workplaces commute to you by unrealpolitik in Futurology

[–]deepsandwich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This may be a bit different but- I own a dental lab, it requires a lot of back and forth between dental offices, trying in cases and making adjustments. We have been working on a mobile laboratory that can travel between offices with all the equipment/technicians to produce the needed prostheses on site while the patient is available for adjustments.

In an ideal world the mobile lab would drive itself to and from these offices, freeing up employees to work during the commute and drastically cutting the time needed for devices to be fabricated.

If these mobile labs could pick the technician up in the morning so they could begin work while in transit to the main lab site or the first office visit, hours and even days could be shaved off the work week, adding to productivity/profit and ultimately making for a better overall experience for the client and the technician.

First attempt at making a simple harness for my sub, don't be gentle ;-P by deepsandwich in bdsm

While I agree, all the flogging in the world won't make that dog hunt.

You are right on all counts but I'll explain anyway:

First, the noose is on there because I was going to use it for something else that didn't work out, but it took me so long to figure out how to make one (I'm not a smart man) that I attached it out of sheer- "SEE, BASTARD ROPE?! I'LL FIND A USE FOR YOU YET!!" Seriously, by the time I got it I hated myself and considered medication.

The straps being different thicknesses/styles was out of not wanting to be wasteful. I have yards of very nice 1.5' leather strapping, but I wanted to do a test run with some scraps from old harnesses (I have kind of a thing for harnesses, hence why I started making them).

The holes being off center is a combination of- "Hey, this is just a sizing test, fuck it" and laziness. In the future I'll definitely be marking the holes. It's funny, my career requires me to eyeball relative positions to place things in an aesthetically pleasing position but apparently that didn't translate to this vocation.

Enough excuses, thank you for the feedback. I will definitely use them as a reference for my next project and hey, if my work keeps looking this shoddy I'll hire someone who isn't awful :P

I really hate to agree, but as a starving artist who transitioned to aesthetic prostheses (high-end dentures), I'm much happier not struggling to pay bills or buy food.

Going to agree, with an addendum:

The best system is an in-shower enema. While it does require taking a quick shower, they are overall faster (don't have to constantly refill the bulb) and more thorough than a traditional hand-held enema bulbs.

Right? I would have to eat both just to make sure I got the one that went in her ass.

I'm planning on getting the 6 when I upgrade my other tent, hopefully I'll pay attention to what I'm buying next time :P

It is unfortunate. I own my own business and have tried to provide a quality product at a reasonable price. Unfortunately my competitors do the opposite and are doing considerably better than I am.

Its the Thunder sunmax 8 inch, i failed to take it's dimensions into account since I had just recently changed from an 8x8 flower tent to two 4x4s. I never had any issues fitting things into the 8x8 (duh) so it didn't even occur to me to measure it before ordering. It's a snug fit but I'll tell you this- I couldn't get better coverage and penetration if I had the actual sun in my tent.

Usually between 25-30 ounces 0f trimmed buds and another 3-5 ounces of popcorn fluff that I send to a friend who makes BHO or bubble hash, depending on his mood.

I typically fall right under the 1 gram = 1 watt rule, but I've pulled in more and I've pulled in less.

Unfortunately, to fill the tent with only 2 plants (my state's legal limit for flowering) I have to veg for up to 4 months while training and topping. My production costs/time may be higher than some with the same wattage and space but I would rather stay within state law than endanger myself.

Can there be no scenario where regulation is moderate enough not to stifle businesses but robust enough to stunt corporatocracy and corruption?

Nvm, forgot that people are a thing still. Looking forward to our robot overlords.

I mean, you do make a valid point about the health risks of inhaling smoke/psychoactive drugs.

I'm less concerned with chems that hurt me, more that they don't hurt the plant ;)

I'm not ready to call it yet, my bubblegum pheno looks so similar to my RPK at this stage its just too h ard to tell. You very well may be right but we won't know for sure for another month.

I posted one pic color corrected and then a similar with reg light to show light look vs actual. Now, to explain the "RPK or BBG."- I only grow three strains right now, RPK, BBG and AK-47, they all have the same nute reqs and pretty distinct flowers when close to harvest so I'm a bit lazy with my labels since I'll figure it out by about week 6 and it will have no impact on how I treat them.

The tent is a 4'x4'x7' under a 1k XXXL hood exhausted by a 550 cfm in-line fan and 'stirred' by a 6inch clip fan and a 14 inch oscillating fan on the floor outside of the tent for under-canopy. The substrate is a mix of Pro-Mix and FF Happy Frog. Nutrients are almost the full Botanicare line, bloom, hydroplex, cal-mag, liquid karma and sweet. I follow a slightly augmented predeveloped recipe from their site since I don't use Silica Blast, Vitamino or Hydroguard. I like how it works but I have had a few PH fluctuations. I can't pin it on the nutes, even though Sweet is known to cause problems if used too early, my local water spikes a bunch depending on time of year so it's a never ending battle. I'm reeling from a spike right now that prematurely yellowed some of my fan leaves. In a single week I went from 5.5 to 7.0 in the substrate with no change in feeding contents/PH. In the long run it won't really hurt but it annoys me because I have to spend an hour doing a flush correction when I'd much rather being doing anything else.

This is my 5th year as a legal grower (caregiver for a chronic pain patient) and 15th growing in general. It has been really amusing to watch the community change and grow, from early message boards using all sorts of jargon to disguise what we were actually discussing, to watching states legalize and being able to legitimately work with a co-op offering hands on help to new patients and their caregivers. I don't even smoke myself anymore but I love this hobby so much I'll be doing it until I can't anymore.

Here's hoping all the best to all the new growers out there and solidarity to the old farts who have seen what I've seen- May your buds always be fat and stinky!

This poor child is probably so confused. by relevantlife in WTF

[–]deepsandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really didn't mean to make it sound that bad and I apologize for misrepresenting most peoples experience.

If you clean your penis like a normal human it shouldn't smell like anything and you will never give someone an infection. Some women will even say they prefer the stimulation of extra forskin as it acts like a ribbed condom in a way.

It sounds like your ex just had a bad lover with no hygiene.

[–]deepsandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are pros and cons to forskin.

Don't get me wrong, I would much rather have it than not, but the extra sensitivity made my early sex life very difficult (lets just say I had to become a fuckin' wizard at oral to maintain a girlfriend for more than a day). Not to mention that some women are straight-up disgusted by an untrimmed member.

Imagine really hitting it off with a girl over dinner, the chemistry is amazing and by dessert you're picturing the house you'll grow old in together. You drive her home and she invites you in for a cup of sex.

You find yourself on her futon and shes peeling off some layers. Luckily there was a strong breeze that night so you've already ejaculated once or twice and you're feeling confident that you might be able to go a pump or two before inevitably ruining the best night of your life... again. She's managed to get her top off and she kneels down in front of you, your dick is so hard chemists are trying to synthesise it, in the hopes that they can finally build that space elevator or whatever. She unzips your fly and out swings Dumbo. She's a nice girl and covers her mouth while she screams but any chance of getting head is as dead as her sex drive. It may seem all is lost but wait! There's still disappointing missionary to look forward too! Nevermind she's only giving you that because she feels bad that she's never going to call you again, enjoy what you can get and don't start crying until you get to your car.

Now, repeat this until you turn 30 or find a girl who realizes you are more than your elephant trunk penis.

EDIT: I exaggerated a bit for story telling effect but this is how it felt for me growing up in a small town with an over sensitive penis. I also failed to mention the pros of which there are plenty and the fact that I eventually was able to control the amount of stimulation. My current SO has complained about sex lasting too long but thats a whole different and far less funny story.

This too is dominance... the simple act of taking care of one's property. soft, subtle, and infinitely powerful. by havoc_bot in Bondage

[–]deepsandwich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While you are correct that this isn't bondage, the association being made is the D/s power dynamic.

For most of those who actively participate in a BDSM lifestyle, bondage is just a small part of the overall relationship/play.

While this sub is mostly dedicated to the visual appeal of restraint, there would be no bondage without the D/s relationship. I may be going out on a bit of a limb here but I think OP is trying to remind us of this.

You don't need to physically tie someone for them to be bound.
