I’m not a scientist, so I’m just guessing here. But looking at popular search terms on porn sites, you’ll find a lot of taboo stuff like (step-)mom, (step-)sis, poop, BDSM, gang bangs etc. But just because people find it interesting in porn, I wouldn’t argue that they necessarily want to act accordingly in real life, bang their relatives etc.

Some time back I also read an article somewhere (sorry no source) that taboos in porn can get somehow addictive in a way that you’re permanently looking for harder taboos.

But as said, I have no clue if that applies here or if there’s scientific evidence for/against this hypothesis.

Maybe they can pull back their head into the shell before opening the floodgates.

I could also imagine that the causality is (partly) the other way around. Demonizing homosexuality makes it a taboo for them and taboos are the base for all kinds of fetishes.

Nah. Also in Germany styrofoam is used for take away by some places. But it really sucks from my perspective. If you put really hot stuff in it (like fries straight from the fryer) it may melt and your fries have plastic shit attached to them and, since it doesn’t allow condensate to exit the crispy food will turn soggy really fast. Carton is so much better from every perspective.

Luckily, legislation in the EU is trying to reduce single use plastics.

Cool, that’s great! :)

Maybe they also allow to rebind the switch to another function later. At least in custom ROMs that should be possible.

I discovered FitoTrack via Lemmy a couple of months ago and am really satisfied. No issues at all.

Okay, that’s strange. When you say workstations, I assume that you had pretty decent hardware and probably more powerful than my consumer notebook. I usually don’t notice lags or load times > 1 second. If I do a complex operation like mass-cloning an object via a polar pattern, I have to wait for 2 or 3 seconds but really nothing that bothered me in the workflow. Definitely never anything close to a minute as you described.

If you want to give FreeCAD another chance one day and still experience the same issues, maybe bring it up in the official forums. The experts there might have an idea what could be wrong.

I never had these kind of performance issues at all. I use it on three different ThinkPads, all not too bad but also no crazy hardware. The cheapest should be an E14 with a AMD 5500U and 16 GB of RAM that was around 500€ 4 years ago.

Isn’t Fusion360 cloud-based? If so, it doesn’t make too much sense to compare the performance on a certain hardware.

I currently switch a lot between FreeCAD and Sims. When I brainstorm with my girlfriend we either use a simple drawing programm or Sims. Then, once we aligned on an idea, I use FreeCAD to bring in accuracy. Quite often then the original ideas don’t work out because of wall thickness, window placement etc.

I currently combine Draft, Bim and Sketcher to plan my house. You can also use Tech Draw and Part Design in some areas. I think FreeCAD has a steep learning curve with all the features it has, but it’s also incredibly powerful.

If you want to do accurate calculations, wall thickness, exact angles, window sizes etc., I would recommend FreeCAD, especially the draft workbench and possibly the BIM workbench if you want to go 3D afterwards.

If you are more looking for a rough planning where you can test furniture placements, floor designs and see fast results, I recommend The Sims 4 (no joke!). The base game is free (also available on Steam) and it’s quite easy and intuitive to move stuff around, change a wall, place decorations etc.

The draft workbench and sketcher workbench in FreeCAD are both only for 2D projects.

Radiation may cause cancer because it randomly changes the genetic material in your cells. Sometimes your body detects these mutations and kills the corrupted cells. But sometimes the changes are subtile enough so the body doesn’t notice. As these cells aren’t killed, they will reproduce more and more.

So basically you’ll have then two types of cells in your body. The normal ones and the mutated ones. Such mutations can have completely random effects. If it has a negative effect that’s what you would typically refer to as cancer.

If you randomly change the genetic material of seeds with radiation, some of these seeds will be so corrupted that they are no longer able to sprout and grow a plant. Some of the seeds will have new properties. It may have a different appearance, taste or smell, it may be more or less resistent to certain pests, drought or specific conditions.

Let’s say you generated 10000 living test plants that way that all have some random properties. Then from there it’s just regular selective breeding. You pick those with properties you like and keep cultivating only them.

The same is done also without radiation in normal breeding. You multiply the organism, watch out for differences between the generation and actively propagate the genes of the best individuals.

With radiation you can just increase the chances of mutations to occur, so you won’t have to wait as long as in a natural process.

Isn’t it pretty common to use radiation to cause random mutations in seeds and then test which of the new properties are desirable and which aren’t?

As far as I know that has been done already long before stuff like CRISPR came into the game and which allows you to manipulate the genes in a controlled way.

Can’t you just use another instance to unblock Mastodon?

Imagine playing Monopoly with friends and no one is ever buying. You can visit all these nice cities, you can use four amazing train stations free of charge and after each round trip you collect your universal basic income. There’s just that one weird thing that sometimes you randomly end up in jail for three days. But I guess in such a world, also the guards would be cool dudes(ses).

I don’t have children but I would say the most important advice for all kinds of relationship issues is communication. Address your thoughts, fears, talk openly about what has changed, what you miss, what you need and wish for. Try not to blame anyone and talk in a calm way. It may sound obvious, but only if you talk to each other, you can find new strategies that work for both of you. :)

Maybe it’s wide and long. From the given perspective, we can’t judge that.

Oh that’s perfect IMO! :)
