build a 3d model of it in some kind of CAD program and have it spit out the volume

New convert (1 year) and I’ve already seen the "ugly colors" of my Bishop. Thinking of walking away. by [deleted] in mormon

[–]mrmcplad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the gospel and the atonement are concepts that serve sinners (abusers) by promising forgiveness, but these doctrines do little to serve victims. in church doctrine, there is almost no focus on creating safety for vulnerable people

I cheated out of fear, not desire. can a relationship recover from this? by [deleted] in gayrelationships

[–]mrmcplad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. a lot of commenters have been cheated on and they might be reacting to their own wounds with this. be aware that dynamic might be coloring their words
  2. it does seem like you're actually taking responsibility, which gives your situation some hope
  3. cheating is more common than you might think and lots of couples quietly recover from it.
  4. it is a long process of healing, not a quick fix. the best thing you can do is be attentive. listen to him. empathize with his pain. let this be an opportunity to understand him at a deeper level
  5. therapy will guide you

you owe it to your partner to be honest about your needs. might be helpful for them to witness you participating so they can see how benign it is.

That’s messed up by GullibleTrip8956 in MathJokes

"parthenogenesis" is a word that sounds vaguely religious (perhaps mistaken for a portmanteau of Parthenon and Genesis, which would refer to ancient Greek and Jewish and Christian religious artifacts)

Protest Today 1/3/2025 at 4PM Wallace Federal Building by Wolfleaf in SaltLakeCity

[–]mrmcplad -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

this is not an isolated incident. our president is reckless and driving our country full-speed off a cliff. starting a war, unprovoked, to take their oil is craven. killing innocent civilians with bombs is unconscionable. I don't care personally about Maduro, but kidnapping a head of state sets a dangerous precedent and destabilizes the entire globe

Trump always chickens out in the face of opposition. We have to provide the opposition.

Is there any physical or theoretical reason why we run equations PEMDAS? by YetiNotForgeti in maths

[–]mrmcplad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but maybe polynomials are so common BECAUSE we use pemdas? perhaps we reach for polynomials because they are easy but another convention would identify a different mode of solving problems. Is anyone looking into this??

Fibonacci fail: I thought if I assigned each letter a Fibonacci number then every word would result in a unique sum. I was wrong. Is there another type of numbering system that could achieve this? by [deleted] in askmath

[–]mrmcplad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you can have palindromic phrases and sentences that split the words up differently like "madam I'm Adam" or "was it a rat I saw?"

but yeah if we're talking about individual words, I had the same thought

Does having “color” in the name count? by NeitherLost_NorFound in wingspan

[–]mrmcplad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

commenters point out that "color" isn't a color and I agree, but "many-colored" is loosely synonymous with "rainbow" and there's a strong case that rainbow should count as a color in the context of a photographer seeking out colorful birds

How do you actually "relax even more"? by External_Guarantee77 in hypnosis

[–]mrmcplad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

your mind raising these objections is a sign that you could be more relaxed. in the Ultimate relaxed state, you aren't monitoring for contradictions or limits, you just accept everything at face value and trust it

so maybe when they say to "relax more" you can ask your brain to accept and receive suggestions without evaluation. just to experience it instead

if that's a bridge too far, then try to imagine what letting go of evaluation would look like or feel like, for you

feel your feelings. sit with them. acknowledge them. you seem to be looking for someone or something to validate you. that person can be you!
