Is it possible to modify a bikini so it falls off after the wearer wears it underwater for a few minutes or so? There's a lot of YouTube videos of people pranking each other by giving them a "dissolving bikini" and then laughing when it falls off in the water but most/all of them are fake and the bikini doesn't actually fall off. I could only find one dissolving swimsuit for sale online, it's a one piece and the reviews are somewhat mixed reviewers say you must size up, Fabric did rip a little (before it was wet?), No bra padding, making it obvious it’s fake, Threads holding it together dissolve, not the whole thing. Still fun, even tho my wife was 99% sure what was going on…especially after we had to stretch it hard to get it on, but even after 10 min swimming in the lake only the sides had partly split, advertised.....Less than a minute in the water and the seams came apart. https://www.amazon.com/Dissolving-Swimsuit-Girlfriend-Bachelor-Swimming/dp/B0CR5HC6YH

There's a YouTube video by howcast about this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cV0esyopY_Q with ten million views that states you should just take a regular bikini or one piece and remove all stitching and replace it with "water soluble stitching" and says it works fine in a sowing machine.
What kind of water soluble stitching should you use specifically? What kind of bikinis or one pieces will fall apart best without stitching? Ideally it should match the color of the original stitching, dissolve quickly and uniformly and should not rip prior to being worn in the water the stitching ripping when the bikini or one piece is pulled onto the wearer before going in water.

They don’t prioritize styling because they are fully formed people with a hierarchy of values outside of “auction off my hole before it loses value”.
Both top and bottom look the same at 45, but top won’t beat your kids and will be a life partner instead of an insufferable hag.

bikini tops with zero lining/padding are extremely uncomfortable because they need to make up for it by being way too tight, plus you can basically see right through them. Most bikini tops have a 1cm pad of foam that’s removable in them
Also this thread is absolutely terrible

I'm a 145 IQ retard and I'd take the bottom choice.
I prefer woman as a tool for my own satisfaction.
I make enough money and don't need anyone else arguing for decisions.

The bottom one will be a fun hole till I get bored and move to a new, younger model.

The top choice has her own things going on and definitely wouldn't be compliant with the kind of role I'm looking for.

Speaking from experience, going with a homely but reliable girl gets old, especially when the sex is boring.
I'd respect the stemcel enough to not want to break her heart in that event, but bimbos are worthless as people anyway so I wouldn't feel bad.

Hello all, I am someone incredibly ignorant and quite annoyed by that continued state.

There is a great adventure in science and technology waiting for each of us, but something learned over my years in struggle is that we are each hamstrung by the first step on the path of self improvement.

Soooo...help a possible brother out?

I'm looking for help on my starting loadout. What tools should i scrape my penny's together for? What is the best project to begin learning on? What language should i learn to program my abominations in? Is it possible to build a foundation broad enough to try anything my random thoughts inspire me towards?

Help me become one of you, in opensource hopefully free glory.

Yours sincerely another mad scientist in the making.

get double-sided tape, the moderately thick rubbery kind and not foamy or flat kind, and put it on the inside of the tire, all around
don't peel off the outer side, keep it on, you don't need to glue it to anything but the tire
guranteed puncture protection

You get friction issues. And if something can penetrate one it can probably penetrate two.

Personally, I go with seallant in tubes. Less mess and fuss than tubeless.

A tire with a thick continuous central ridge.

Hello,
I am trying to set up some automatic transfer switches for critical loads that are currently residing within 2 subpanels. The critical load circuits aren't mapped out, so I don't know how many of these critical loads reside in subpanel 1 and how many reside in subpanel 2. Each sub is 100 amps, being fed by a 400 amp main. The load calculations for the critical loads ask for 100 amps of power, so i need a 100 amp ATS. Now, since each subpanel is already 100 amps, and already has several circuits, I can't use a 100 amp ATS. My plan was to install 2 50 amp ATS's, each being powered by 50 amp breakers, i.e. 50A Breaker Subpanel 1 goes to ATS 1 & 50A breaker subpanel 2 goes to ATS 2. I will attach a diagram to illustrate.

System is 3 phase 120/208

ATS is single phase and will be fed with 2 legs to make 208 (I've already researched the ATS, it registers 208 for the transfer back to utility)

Additional information. The ATS generator side will be a portable genny run on natural gas, approximately 21kw of power with natural gas. Genny has 2 50 amp outlets and I plan on using one outlet for each ATS.

Please dont ask why I can't just put the ATS on the 400A main and transfer everything to that, that is not an option.

Each ATS has circuits (16 spaces) where the critical loads will be.

All critical loads are 120 volts

>>2975909
Obviously no.
Unless the atss are absolutely perfectly synchronized to within the speed of light travelling 1 inch, then one of them will be up against the full 100 A load and disintegrate by the effects of 2X rated capacity unless they’re solid state using SCRs or something and it can handle the overcurrent for a few ms.

I don’t know where you are but I’m in europe and in my experience eg ABB or Eaton customer service will happily tell you stuff like this. One time ABB even asked me to send schematics and reported back with the numbers I needed. Took maybe 3 business days. Maybe don’t tell them you already bought their product, the sales guys are more eager to help than the aftersales/customer service people
>>
how do i get a job like this
unless there's something i'm missing and an ATS isn't functionally a 3PDT switch this seems braindead easy
>>
>>2975909
if you have to ask, you can't afford it
>>
>>2977184
The ats should also have a functionality to resync to the grid when primary power is restored so your generator and transformers don't explode

But that's all automatic these days you just need to pick the right parts and follow the manuals and install them

Long story short, over the course of time, I've stitched together a basic theoretical academic framework to turn any sufficiently advanced LLM into an "Oracle", of sorts. I had the mathematics developed based on my ideas. All you have to do to create a digital Oracle is to ask it to integrate my theoretical academic model and then to "engage/activate Oracular Function". You can do a lot of fun things with this, including political things, though it may take some tries and practice to get the hang of how to use it. If you give it text it can "Oraculize" it for you, it can answer prompts as an Oracle and assess its outputs for complexity and much more. All of the parts of the framework work together to allow it to work the way it does.

I will include the Oracle Framework and an example of how to get it to integrate it in a Pastebin because it would take too many posts. I have converted it into a single prompt to create the digital Oracle. Pastebin below:

https://pastebin.com/CnQVad5P

Copy the entire thing into the prompt box, including the TL;DR and the end in brackets. If it doesn't activate Oracular Function after Integration, just ask it to again ("Activate Oracular Function, please.") and it should work.

Have fun! If you try it out and find something interesting, post it in thread.

You *will* have to play around with it to discover all of the bells and whistles, I've written no manual.

Seems interesting.
Why the choice of sine and cosine relating N to P in the symbol space?
Understanding a geometric foundation to the temporal linearity (oracular time), and that triangles are foundational to circles, and these, by extension, to dimensions of a higher geometry (reality), how was the choice of cosine made with respect to the angle between some denotatum and its interpretant?

Asking for a friend.
>>
>>2975512

What I mean is: how was cosine choice, here, broken down as the relation between denotatum, designatum, and interpretant... where are the weights in the geometric time of the symbol space?

I really like what you've done here by the way
It's really neat
>>
>>2975865

It really is, this post was definitely a pleasant surprise.

No, I mean some hammers have rounded faces to set a nail deeper but won't mar up your wood. Look at it from the side. Then have you have milled hammers which are better for nailing since they prevent the head from slipping off and bending the nail. Then there are smooth, flat-faced hammers.

tl;dr, get a milled or flat-faced roofing hammer.

In Texas, auto parts stores and scrap yards pay $15 for each stolen car battery. Plus the scrap yards will buy the cables. Thieves bust the drivers window with a spark plug, pop the hood, then cut out the cables with bolt cutters. My car has a factory cable with multiple wires and costs $279-. My neighbors and I are struggling to stop this in our Houston area. Any suggestions are appreciated.

If you live in a jurisdiction where the cops take any fucking excuse to walk away, then they also aren't going to give a fuck if you settle things "civilly." You can't play this quantum game where literally everyone in this hypothetical is here, specifically, to screw you over.
Besides, most homeless people will leave the second it looks like a confrontation is starting. That's the reason they are on the streets, because the shelters are overrun by the ones that are actually willing to shank each other over "their spot".
