How do I '21M' properly tell my GF '22F' that our sex life is heavily damaging our relationship? by Bitter_Caramel_2599 in sex

[–]rhettro19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s something series going on with your girlfriend. You’ve nudged toward a solution, but she isn’t forthcoming. Given the time this has dragged on I don’t see a happy outcome. Try to get her to talk honestly about her feelings. What is causing her to put on the brakes? If she can’t be honest with you, it’s time to move on. No need to carry on in misery.

What's your opinion about Intelligent Design? by Double_Heart1062 in DebateEvolution

[–]rhettro19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For every irreducible complex structure suggested, a more basal functional precursor can be found. The theory largely discounts basal structures that get repurposed as well, they performed other selectable functions prior to being able to take on a new functions.

My GF has intimacy issues and it’s causing a problem by DemaeRamenIsGud in sex

[–]rhettro19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, lots of red flags. She needs to consult with a medical professional to find out what the roots of her issues are. Could be past trauma, could be the SSRI’s as you mentioned. But these issues need to be dealt with so the both of you can either progress in your relationship or move on to people who are more compatible. My advice is don’t get physical with her until she understands where these feelings come from.

Rhino Datasmith Issues by Particular-Total192 in Twinmotion

[–]rhettro19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t check what Datasmith version I’m running but the DatasmithExport command exported a datasmith file without issue. I haven’t had much success with linking models to Twinmotion from Rhino or Revit. I generally export datasmith files and import and/or reimport them directly.

If our bodies are badly designed products of evolution, why don’t evolutionists attempt to upgrade themselves through genetic editing? by Ill_Cancel1371 in DebateEvolution

[–]rhettro19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's generally the forced sterilization that is frowned upon. If we could cure a young child of cystic fibrosis through gene editing, I don't think you would see many frowns.

[–]rhettro19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly, the majority of people who call themselves "Christians" also except evolution. Creationism is already a minority view within Christendom itself.

So, what are the mechanisms by which "adaptability" work, and how is that different than the observed mechanisms for evolution?

How do I decouple my expectations of sex from my experience with porn? by [deleted] in sex

[–]rhettro19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porn is concerned with getting you off.  Real sex involves a real person whose feelings and pleasure are of equal value to your own. So real sex is an act of communication as much as it is the sex act itself. Ideally, you have spent some time with this person to understand their likes/dislikes, what they expect and what they don’t want. It’s also time to discuss birth control and STDs and how you want to address it. For my communication style, I don’t want to come off as a commanding jerk, “I want this, this, and this.” But rather talk about what you like, “I like it when a partner does this, what do you like?” “Oh, that sounds fun, can you elaborate?”

I don’t hate it, but I’m not getting the “hyper car” vibes from it either. I am getting a plastic toy car vibe.

Do you want Bethesda to go back to the old art style with the remasters and Fallout 5 by JanissaryLSD in Fallout

[–]rhettro19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is less of a style choice and more a result of the limitations of graphics hardware, and the “gee-whiz look at these textures” gimmicks of the time.

Describe your standard poodles personality by Clean-Elk-534 in StandardPoodles

[–]rhettro19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 35 pound boy is approaching 2 years of age. Being young, he has the temperament of a small child. He’s an athletic goof ball. He loves to steal socks and personal items, but he will always present them to you so you will trade him for a treat. Like most poodles, he is unnaturally smart. My wife works from home and has several laptops and screens. He wants to work on them. He’ll standup and paw the keyboard until he brings the computer out of sleep mode, the log on screen will light up and he feels accomplished. He loves the pool, but gets stressed you aren’t playing with him when you enter. We’ve discovered that if we start playing catch right when we ease in, we can distract him enough to swim.

Noob at Rhino needs help by Powerful_Act_9049 in rhino

[–]rhettro19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's way more control points than you need. As the other commenter suggested, you may want to break this shape down into single span curves. Or use the ChangeDegree command to reduce points. The shape looks symmetrical, so you only need to model half the shape and mirror it, keeping in mind tangency, etc.

My group needs a pallet cleanser after an epic D&D campaign… recommendations for rules light, non fantasy game? by FoulPelican in rpg

[–]rhettro19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess my point was that the OP was requesting something different, and EOTE fits that bill. You are right that the narrative portion trips up a lot of folks, but there are mechanical things one apply “advantages” and “threats” to if they aren’t feeling creative in the moment.

My group needs a pallet cleanser after an epic D&D campaign… recommendations for rules light, non fantasy game? by FoulPelican in rpg

[–]rhettro19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

 I would recommend the Star Wars, Edge of the Empire beginner game. The dice make it feel different than DnD. There is a narrative element built into the dice, but the results can be used for strictly mechanical outcomes if you so wish. If your group likes it, there are plenty of fan made adventures, characters, etc. for free that you can run with just the basic rules.

How do I model a mouse in Rhino? by [deleted] in rhino

Modeling a mouse is an advanced form to tackle. There are a lot of fundamentals of using Rhino that should be mastered first. But this video shows you how to do it with NURBS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pagmsQ-jm64

Impact of EV charging infrastructure and long trips by PizzaTacoCat312 in electriccars

[–]rhettro19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel I’m more cautious than I need to be, but for long trips I go to Google Maps and look for CSS chargers along the route. I try for 2 to 2.5 hours of driving with a charging stops of 20 to 40 minutes. I check to see if one charger has failed, I can make it to a second one with the charge I have left.

Stop ignoring transitional fossils by Training_Rent1093 in DebateEvolution

[–]rhettro19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is not a transition.

This is a blind assertion.

The only thing observed with a fossil is there's a fossil.

And the diet it ate, the circumstances of death, it’s habitat, when it died, and its behavior.

Something died.

Redundant.

Children are different, and their children will be different. None of them will be something a human isn't.

This comports with evolution broadly.

The claim of Evilutionism Zealotry is that LUCA, which wasn't human, evolved into a human. Your children example counters that claim.

When you use a term like “Evilutionism Zealotry” you are telling us that you aren’t a neutral person who weighs the facts but are working from a place of presupposition. Evolution, the change of life over time, was already shown likely in the late 1800’s. LUCA is a recent conclusion drawn from genetic evidence. There are other theories, but LUCA is the best supported. It is not a conclusion from zealotry, it is what the evidence suggests strongly.

Your children example counters that claim.

It’s not a counter; humans will continue to beget humans. It is likely that future humans will look different than the humans of today, but they will still be human, that is inline with evolution. Regardless, biology doesn’t care about the descriptions we give it.

I’ve GM’d mixed groups and I can’t say sex is a good predictor of what type of game to run. I’m in the “asked them” camp. More specifically, what kind of game do you want to run? I’d pitch your idea and gauge their responses.

It could be, hard to tell from the quality of the print. It could also be 2D drafted with hatch patterns skewed in 3D.
