TROPHY CASE

Please help. I'm so confused :( X-post from r/relationships. by tryingtodogoodin relationship_advice

[–]assblood 1 point2 points ago

Keep it under wraps, it'll only make her worry. But seriously, stop talking to that instigating cunt.

Girlfriend and I broke up on good, speaking terms; what is the best way for me to go about this, in regards to how I treat her? by inivuxin relationship_advice

[–]assblood 3 points4 points ago

Your needs are most certainly not irrelevant. Think about what you just said.

I cheated and lost everything. Don't know where to go from here. by [deleted]in relationship_advice

[–]assblood 3 points4 points ago

From this experience hopefully you've learned a valuable lesson about deceiving people. If I were in the shoes of either of those guys I would never want to speak with you again. That said, even though you shouldn't continue any sort of relationship with either guy, you can move on with your life and in the future you won't betray the trust of others.

Maybe they can tank better, but for dps? My wizard does 1400 at lvl 39 whereas my friend at 42 can only do 600 as a barbarian.

Is there any way to tell my girlfriend that I'd prefer she'd stop getting more tattoos, without coming-off as a selfish jerk? by ferngutsin relationship_advice

[–]assblood -8 points-7 points ago

Yeah, I've always thought tattoos on girls are usually pretty hideous and detract much from their appearance.

I dunno, I don't really like them. They're too round and... British.

What are the pros/cons of using synthetic oil? by persnackityladin Cartalk

[–]assblood 3 points4 points ago

Synthetics last longer, flow better, and maintain your engine better. But they will also leak out better so it's best not to use synthetic oil on a higher mileage engine, likewise you don't use them until you've got at least 5000 miles. They are also more expensive but since they last almost twice as long as dinosaur oil, it balances out. Generally if your car has under 50,000 miles it's a good idea to switch over.

Keep in mind if you do switch, most people say you should not switch back to the dinosaur oil. I haven't ever heard a good explanation for this , though so it may not be true.

Why does showering with hot water feels so good, even though being outside in hot temperatures is uncomfortable? by swishsweetfishin askscience

[–]assblood 0 points1 point ago

I would certainly love to learn more about how the body regulates temperature and how it determines what to tell the brain. Especially since cold and hot can both feel good and bad.

You're being downvoted but you are correct, spending time in water at 107 degrees like Tomaero89 says, will cause a number of health problems.

[–]assblood 0 points1 point ago

How much heat do you think is lost between the faucet and your body, though? It doesn't mention where they measured the temperature, but it was most likely not in midair. If you spend too much time in even 105 degree water, it causes hyperthermia.

Why does showering with hot water feels so good, even though being outside in hot temperatures is uncomfortable? by swishsweetfishin askscience

[–]assblood 2 points3 points ago

Cold water feels too cold because it transfers heat more quickly, taking you from overheating to being far too cold; which makes you uncomfortable.

As for a shower being warmer than your body temp, I don't think that's necessarily true. The water might be coming out of the faucet at 107 degrees, but by the time it hits you and runs down your body I'd wager it's much cooler than that. For example, hot tubs should not be set above 102 degrees F because they can cause heat stroke and cardiovascular stress.

The body always has to be cooling, not because it is expending effort to heat itself but because extra heat is a byproduct of muscles burning calories. This is why exercising makes you hot. Sweat works even in higher ambient temperatures than the body due to evaporative cooling, which is also used to cool buildings.

[–]assblood 5 points6 points ago

Maybe I wasn't clear enough but I think we are already in agreement. A cold shower on a hot day would feel good because you were transferring less of your heat into the hot air. If you had water at the same temperature as the air, the water would feel cool because heat transfers much faster into the water than the air. And if you are cold, a hot shower feels good because it helps you build up heat in your body. So your senses tell you not the objective temperature of your environment, but an adjusted version to tell you what your body needs to retain its core temperature.

[–]assblood 8 points9 points ago

You feel cold and hot depending on the amount of heat transfer needed to maintain your core temperature. Since you are always generating heat from the calories you burn, you always have to conduct some of it away so when you feel hot, it means you are not conducting enough heat to the environment. When you feel cold, you are conducting too much heat away. Under flowing water, heat can be transferred much more rapidly than in air, so a smaller temperature difference is needed to maintain the proper rate of heat transfer. Have a look here for a more thorough explanation of heat transfer.

The save icon is a floppy disk and everyone still understands the "roll down the windows" gesture. What are other things that refer to obsolete practices, yet still understood today? by Sati1984in AskReddit

It's been a long while since I've seen a Rush reference on Reddit. I can now go to bed satisfied.

I haven't made my bed in my entire lifetime because it doesn't make sense to me to tidy up a bed that you're just going to get into that night, so Reddit what are some fairly common practices you don't partake in and why? by ThaiOneOffin AskReddit

He cares that he doesn't care and he cares that people care that he doesn't care, and if they just would stop caring he could stop caring that they care.

After the breakup girlfriend sent me letter saying she cheated on me the whole time by NickMaddenin relationship_advice

[–]assblood 1 point2 points ago

So she sends you a letter detailing her weakness, lack of morals, and emotional instability; and she thinks it should make YOU feel bad? This chick obviously has some deep seated psychological issues, I say you tell her she needs to get some professional help, then cut all contact. Reflect upon the signs you missed early on to avoid the crazies in the future.

What's better for my engine - driving 24 miles a day mostly on the highway (~30 min trip), or 5 miles a day in the city (10 min trip)? by HollaShotcallain Cartalk

[–]assblood 0 points1 point ago

Sounds like you're on top of it already. I wouldn't worry about that commute then. At least you're not spending an hour a day idling in traffic with your ac running.

[–]assblood 1 point2 points ago

Depends whether you want it to last the most amount of miles, or the most amount of time. Either way it will take years for any difference to show, just change the oil more often if you do the city driving, and consider switching to a less viscous synthetic.

Throwaway time! What's your secret that could literally ruin your life if it came out? by ohgoshwheretobeginin AskReddit

That's bullshit too. If your friend is doing something really fucked, it shows a complete lack of judgement and that they are not worth having around. Friendship isn't some unbreakable bond or anything.

What is the difference between All Wheel Drive and Four Wheel Drive? by Doodleschmitin Autos

[–]assblood 0 points1 point ago

Technically your point is correct, there are huge differences in the types of systems; but I think what he's getting at is that the terms 4WD and AWD are pretty vague. To be precise, you would differentiate the two as being either a full-time four wheel drive system or a part-time four wheel drive system.

Also part-time 4WD does not have any locked differentials unless it has differential lockers. The transfer case is either locked or unlocked, but does not allow different speeds to the front and rear, which is precisely why you don't drive on pavement with it locked as you mentioned; therefore it is not a differential. In a full-time 4WD system, there is always a limited slip differential in place of a switchable transfer case. If there were 3 open differentials, a single slipping wheel would get all the torque making the system worthless. This is why old Subarus with worn out center diffs can be even worse than a 2WD car on ice.

First real sketch attempt, critique please? by darth_holioin drawing

[–]assblood 0 points1 point ago

For a real critique, you should post some more work. This sketch is pretty minimal and doesn't show much about your skill. What I can say is you should focus on defining shapes more clearly which will force you to understand how they work. The eyes and general proportions are pretty good, and your shading shows some thought. Overall it's not bad for an early effort.
