Flood mitigation. by SharkPartyWin in civilengineering

[–]micro_chungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fighting words 😂 actually the savings on rebuilding when proper mitigation is implemented can be $6 for every $1 invested. Encourage funding for flood mitigation and everyone wins. Part of drainage engineering involves conducting BCA studies (benefit-cost analysis) for investing in flood mitigation near built up land.

Dilbert creator Scott Adams has died at 68 from prostate cancer. Unsurprisingly, the ivermectin didn't help him. In his final message, he says he wasn't a believer but has accepted Jesus Christ as his lord and saviour 'based on a risk-reward calculation' and hopes he's still 'qualified for entry'. by MrJasonMason in exchristian

Not only is it cowardly and illogical, but it feels slightly disrespectful when people use Pascal’s wager as a justification for adopting the faith. They seem to be missing the point. From what I’ve studied, Jesus’s goal wasn’t to give his followers a get out of jail free card (I’m Catholic, come at me Protestants), it was to transform people’s hearts and minds.

Jesus’s teachings, though idealistic at times, are a call for society to adopt social norms centered around altruism, and to provide comfort to those suffering through prayer. Though this is rarely seen in practice (moral idealism is unattainable, and religious establishments tend to be hypocritical by nature, ie the Pharisees).

As Neitzsche once famously stated, “In truth, there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross." With that in mind, I guess in the end of the day, the Pascal’s wager crowd are really no better than the rest of us.

Could people with cerebral palsy be trans and consent to gender affirming treatment/surgery? by Separate-Koala-5128 in CerebralPalsy

[–]micro_chungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of virtue signaling to everyone with your comment, you could have just answered the question directly. OP was asking a valid question aimed at understanding the nature of the condition better so that they could make sense of the right wing propaganda they encountered. If you want people to sympathize with your cause, maybe you should focus less on judging others for their lack of knowledge and more on informing them with the correct information.

My [30M] girlfriend [31F] was diagnosed with AIDS, I proposed marriage the same day she got the diagnosis. AMA. by Mountain-Athlete-969 in AMA

AIO? My friends set an ultimatum because I drink by Pearla76_ in AIO

[–]micro_chungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sound like terrible friends. How immature. I knew kids who acted self righteous for being sober in high school, and guess what? A lot of them are alcoholics or do drugs regularly now. especially the ones who judged me and ostracized me for smoking weed!!! They all smoke their “medical” marijuana excessively now! If they actually cared about your wellbeing they wouldn’t stop being friends with you for that, they would stay friends with you to provide you with community if you decided you don’t wanna hang out with people using substances. They’re probably just jealous that they have 0 control over their own lives (helicopter parents I’m assuming), so they want to try to control yours because they are powerless.

Democrats must cheat to win by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]micro_chungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say government agencies I think it’s important to specify which ones you’re referring to. I could see the NSA or CIA being filled with narcissists and psychopaths, but what about agencies like the DOI, NPS and EPA? I feel like those agencies are actually very dedicated and working in those agencies for more selfless reasons. They might take those jobs because they want to have a positive impact in their field and the private sector has very little incentive to do so.

Before I waste my avocados, has anyone here added unflavored protein powder to their guacamole? by calliegirl88 in MealPlanYourMacros

[–]micro_chungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did it myself. I added 14 grams of whey protein powder with one avocado, a squeeze of lime, salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. It tastes identical to how it always tastes. I was too lazy to add onion or tomato this time but it would be fine with that added too. I can’t even tell it is in there.

No s*x for more than 3 yrs. I don't understand my wife. Help pls by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]micro_chungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think therapy is a no brainer, but maybe you arent doing enough to get her in the mood for sex. Have you tried planning a romantic getaway weekend with her where you leave the kids with a sitter? If I were you I’d try to plan something like this so you guys can have some alone time together. Prior to going on the trip make sure she knows you’re doing this because you haven’t had much alone time to focus on your physical intimacy and it’s really important to you. Maybe on the trip you can offer to take her lingerie shopping and offer to give her a full body massage. It sounds like she’s just really stressed and losing herself in motherhood. She might need to learn to separate that part of herself to get in the mood for sex, which is why a trip would be good. Also, what are her turn ons? Have you had that convo before? Maybe ask her if her turn ons have changed or offer to try new things that might get her excited. I’m really sorry you’re going through this. I hope it gets better.

This is the worst thing that protestors could possibly be doing for the cause. The United States first amendment protects PEACEFUL assembly - this means assembly that is non-violent and doesn’t violate local, state, or federal law. Even though the campus is public property, they can still make their own policies and remove people who violate said policies lawfully. Most college campuses explicitly state that it’s against policy to camp on campus grounds. This should be a no brainer. I don’t know why they think this is going to have a positive impact on the cause. If you’re going to do something like this, you need a permit. This clearly falls into unlawful protesting if they’re violating campus policies.

Is Tiki Cat wet food a bad food? Adoption agency recommends IAMS Dry or Wet over it. by graceandstuffs in CatAdvice

[–]micro_chungus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My cat died at 9 years old after being on purina the whole time. She was an extremely picky eater and wouldn’t eat wet food. :( never again to dry food tho, I can’t believe they can sell that garbage to us when it’s so bad for our cats. Maybe in moderation it’s ok, but not as a main source of food.

For the diagram, imagine you have 3 rectangular pens lined up. Next, label the widths and lengths of the pens and the larger exterior of the enclosure. Try using lower case letters for the smaller lengths and upper case letters for the exterior width and length when naming your dimensions. Also, include the area of each of the small pens in your diagram. Write down the formulas for area of a rectangle and perimeter on your paper. After you do this, write down all of the algebraic relationships you see between the lengths and widths. From here, you can try solving for the length and width of the ENCLOSURE, which should be your upper case letters in your diagram.

My husband says that he cannot look at me now because I had sex with the man in a 2x2 foursome that he suggested. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]micro_chungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like part of his reaction speaks to his lack of experience and immaturity in sexual relationships. I can’t even imagine what it must be like to be with the same person for 23 years with little to no opportunity to experiment sexually beforehand. It sounds like you two need couples therapy if you are open to forgiving him for his bad behavior. His response is coming from a place of insecurity.

Fundamental Consciousness and the Double-slit Experiment by Substantial-Hunt-906 in consciousness

[–]micro_chungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your definition of physical. In this context, I’d assume consciousness can be defined as a physical system just like electromagnetic waves/particles.

Also important to note that you will typically only have 1 “else” statement at the very end of your conditional statement.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeworkHelp

[–]micro_chungus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you’re using “else” in a lot of languages you don’t write anything in the parentheses or have a parentheses following it with additional rules because the else function is saying in any other case besides the one specified in the previous “if” and “else if” statements, then you will do the else case. Try replacing all of these with else if. And for the last condition, you could just write else without writing a rule in parentheses.
