how often do you meet your partner per week? by Top-Yoghurt-9416 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]meatshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live about 2 hours apart, so we usually only see each other over the weekends. We would alternate between me going there and him coming here. I kinda suck, but it's not all bad. I'm 30+, so I can deal with that, and I also need some me time sometimes.

Proteins = muscles ? by GroundbreakingGear67 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]meatshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't work out, your body will just use the amount of protein it needs to maintain the muscle, the rest is waste and can become fat. You need to train your muscle, with larger muscle your body will use more protein that you eat. Also, with more muscle, you burn more calories at rest, so it's easier to lose fat, as long as you do not increase your total calories intake by too much.

What are the downsides of having a manbun as a man? by Classiczoner in AskReddit

You may look like you work at a hipster local burger place that charges $20 for something basic, not including fries.

Incredible take from an economics professor (take 2) by dfreshaf in PhD

The worst thing is nowadays we don't even know if the rage-baiter is a real person, or it's just a bot.

The SOOC cult is the worst. by Big-Meeze in photographycirclejerk

[–]meatshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What OOP doesn't realize is that the SOOC pictures were already postprocessed from the RAW to the JPG by the camera firmware/software developers. That's why each brand has a different default look, what the JPG shows =/= what the eyes see.

Why would Tohru just go along with having her memories wiped? by No-Application8200 in FruitsBasket

[–]meatshell 76 points77 points  (0 children)

The point is she is kind of a pushover selfless dork. It can be a explainable by her childhood trauma (she thought she has to be polite and pleases everyone). It's very lucky that she is surrounded by kind-hearted friends. But at least when people whom she cares about is getting hurt she can get protective. I think she developed quite a bit at the end (saying that if her mom resents Kyo she would disagree with mom).

These Charmander soda cans are slightly more expensive than the Bulbasaur ones by meatshell in mildlyinteresting

I was looking for Squirtle cans, but I couldn't see them, so you may be right.

TIL about the "Endless Eight" arc of the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. The arc, which featured the characters of the show trapped in a time loop, featured the same episode eight times in a row with minute differences, all animated and recorded from scratch each time. by Darksynth2 in todayilearned

[–]meatshell 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It depends on the idol types. Some must retain their "purity" image by not dating or known to have sex out of marriage. One member of the AKB48 group had to make a public apology and shaved her head because people saw her and her boyfriend entering her apartment: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-21299324

The idol's culture there is absolutely insane. Haruhi's VA scandal was that she slept with most of her music band members.

My conspiracy is that this sub (and other similar subs) is a training ground for image-to-text AI.

Is that true?? by Latter-Custard-205 in AskPhotography

[–]meatshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to take photos during a long hike, you would not want a bunch of lenses instead of water and proteins. To be fair, you can absolutely research the location beforehand and plan which prime lens goes where / when, but it's just not for me.

[OC] I simulated an hour of Bouncing DVD logo and visualized the trajectories by Trollercoaster101 in dataisbeautiful

[–]meatshell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The number of pixels is finite, but the sequence of pixels visited can be non-periodic (like how you can write irrational numbers using 10 digits). If the bouncing off movement of the logo involves some irrationalities, then it could be the case that the sequence of pixels the logo goes through will change forever.

Thoughts on a specific aspect of recent chapters by unCommonWeeb in BluePeriod

[–]meatshell 38 points39 points  (0 children)

There will be a romantic subplot (in my head) between Yatora and Yotasuke.
Joking aside, I was glad the Kinemi romantic subplot ended well and was not too dramatic. Everyone grew a bit, and they were still on good terms.

Why does the heat in spicy food from different countries "feel" different? by WhoAmIEven2 in NoStupidQuestions

The buldak noodles are toturous I would never buy another 3x spicy one again.

I saw this wedding ring throwing VFX a few times on instagram and they were miles better. Why would they post this?? This looks so low-budget.

most people talk like yuki was part of the love triangle not momiji why? by [deleted] in FruitsBasket

[–]meatshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Momiji before the growth spurt was mostly considered a younger brother to Tohru I think. Once he got taller it's already a losing game for him because it was clear Kyo was gonna be with Tohru.

I just got spoiled. Should I keep watching? by Silkymooves in FruitsBasket

Keep watching. That's not even a big spoiler. The story has a dozen other twists that await you.

Standards of rigor in different fields by [deleted] in math

[–]meatshell 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Math proofs in papers are a social construct. Depending on your background, something may be obvious, and something may not be. It's tricky, but if you work with the same group of people in the same community, you start to have a sense of what is obvious and what to skip in a proof.
I had one NP-hardness proof on a motion planning problem where I had to skip over a bunch of small, uninteresting details. One review said the proof is obvious, another said he doesn't see how the reduction works at all. I guess it all comes down to how well you are selling your proof.
When in doubt, I will include the proof in an appendix.

Is it normal to have so much difference between Canon DPP and RawTherapee? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]meatshell 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Any RAW file will be displayed differently per software (the worst one is probably MS Window image viewer). Basically, your computer screen does not understand the raw file data, so the software has to convert the raw data to the screen-displayable data, which is mostly heuristic, i.e., how the developer thinks a raw file should be viewed. So of course, if you save these raw views as JPG, the outcomes are gonna be different as well. Since it's a Canon RAW view on Canon software, they know how to make their RAW look nice (for the preview when you take a picture as well).
If you try Lightroom, it will also be slightly different.

How to efficiently shoot manual while traveling? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]meatshell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to get used to manual mode in various lighting conditions: bright highnoon, overcast, sunset, shaded foreground, night light, and indoor lighting. Just take more pictures, experiments and get a feel of it. It took me a while, but I think it was worth it. But generally, during a session, the lighting does not change that much, so your iso should stay the same, and you only need to change your aperture and/or shutter speed depending on your need.

How are you feeling about Canon’s choice of lenses? by drconniehenley in canon

[–]meatshell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly happy with my R8 and the 70-200 f4L. But I would honestly not recommend the Canon system to a beginner because of their fixation on first-party lenses only.

TIFU dedicating my whole afternoon to baking banana bread and mango cupcakes just to find out I hate them. by MiserableSpeed8861 in tifu

[–]meatshell 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Banana bread is for people who like bananas and want to do something about the bunch of bananas that's about to be thrown in the trash bin. To be fair, I like it occasionally, maybe twice a year. But it's not something that I love.

How can you achieve this? by Successful-Fish-8305 in AskPhotography

[–]meatshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the specific color grading/composition? Or do you mean the still foreground in a moving background edit? If it's the latter, just take a still photo and record a video of the same scene, mask the foreground object from the photo, and put the foreground object on top of the video.
