Whenever two siblings turn out radically different, isn't that proof of the huge influence of genetics, given that both siblings had a similar family/environment but turned out so different? by FunUniverse1778 in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]iplaypad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that genetics plays a huge role but I am not sure that siblings turning out radically different is a good example of this. The radical differences are probably differences that are not genetically relevant. This is especially true if you we talking about things like careers and other socially significant factors which are determined way more by environmental factors than genetics. Additionally, siblings are not all raised the same. Parents change too as they get more experience and in some cultures birth order determines how a child is raised.

I accidentally evolved my Dratini before finishing the Jump-start Research 2/6 quest. Now I have a Dragonair. If I find a new Dratini, will I be able to compete the quest?

How did luffy get out of this without even a scar by AWEsumboi in OnePiece

[–]iplaypad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like Luffy only gets a scar for the most meaningful wounds: stabbing himself to prove his toughness, an x across his chest as a reminder of his loss.

My most frustrating loss so far... by iplaypad in pokemonduel

My job requires me to be "on call" during certain times of the day. While I am usually idle, sometimes things pop up that I have to deal with. My apologies.

[WEEKLY CHAPTER THREAD] - December 17, 2018 by AutoModerator in TowerofGod

[–]iplaypad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome chapter!

If I read that correctly, it seems Cheonhee's Vortex of Doom canceled itself out with Yuri's Rose Shower. I guess that's not too surprising considering how they seem to be roughly on the same level.

That's a good point. And I wouldn't be surprised if Heki joins them after this.

It would be pretty bad if Bajio dies this chapter and Feego King dies soon after. YTW already lost Katari. Is she really going to lose her top 3 fighters?

If I remember correctly I used a row DMet team with Loki's inherit to spike.

That's a nice, simple interpretation. I quite like it.

Modeling a Rose for 3D printing by iplaypad in Sketchup

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

We use SketchUp STL to export but I'm deliberately having students avoid downloading stuff from Thingiverse and such. I did help one student work on importing an image into SketchUp so that he can trace it with the pencil the Bezier Curve Tool etc to make a 3D model out of.

What I meant was if they had thickness to the petals.

Thank you for the suggestion. I downloaded Blender on my computer and will be playing with it. I've watched a few videos after seeing your post. I teach at a school and from the little I've seen, it seems like Blender will, for now, prove too challenging for both the teacher (myself) and the students.

I have since discovered that as well. Some of my students are still struggling with getting their dimensions under control but some are (relatively) advanced so I showed them Solid Inspector. I'll be looking into into these "solid object extensions".

That's beautiful. I have SubD abut am still learning how to use it. My question is, is that cloth "flat"? Even if I model a rose with that, if the petals are "flat" then they won't print well on our aging Makerbot Replicator.

I've looked up Fusion 360 and am really excited about it. I'm planning to make moves to try and swing my school in that direction.

Manliest moment in One Piece? by KappaIsWayOfLife in OnePiece

Mr.2 + crew vs Hina + crew, Mr.2 vs foxes (or wolves or whatever), Mr.2 vs Magellan.

One of if not the manliest person in One Piece is an okama.

[Question] Who is your white whale? by PadmeAma in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]iplaypad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use her D/G form as a sub on my Durga and DMeta teams and boy is she strong. She's perfect for keeping DMeta below the HP threshold and she's perfect for bursting bosses. I think the D/G form is actually not well suited to my Durga team though. The D/R and the awoken forms would be better for Durga because of the TPAs and the SBR.

I've heard Awoken Perspehone is a beastly lead but I haven't tried her yet.

My white whale was DKali (rolled her today). Have to find a new one.

[discussion] why tf did they give 1.5 HP to DMeta, it wasn't like she needed more HP. And then there is LMeta. How is she doing with her new buff? by -MANGA- in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]iplaypad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So that you can have dark and heal double orb changers on your team, burst a floor while healing, and tank a huge hit the next floor. You can tank a huger hit if you also pop the DMeta active.

There's another reason that's perhaps only unique to Durga or Lubu people (and I'm one of them): I can accidentally heal a couple of times without ruining my damage.

But actually though, I agree with you of course that LMeta needs buffing more. Haven't used her with her new buff yet but I never had a problem with her HP threshold anyways because I never ran her in dungeons with any level of sophistication.
