Hotel rule
  • In general it is often true that a motor and a generator are two sides of the same coin.

    If you put a current through a wire you can make a magnet move which can be used to spin a motor. And symmetrically, if you spin a wire and make its magnet move near a wire you can induce a current in the wire.

    Depends on the exact wiring and stuff but yeah sometimes you can damage a motorised device by manually spinning the thing without turning it on.

  • Just learned about RSD... sooo did anyone else have a reputation as a cry baby in elementary school?
  • It definitely helps. You can sometimes logic yourself out of a spiral by acknowledging the emotion and why it's there, while simultaneously rejecting the need for feeling it right now.

    It's like "hey cool thanks brain I get that you want me to make sure that the bad thing doesn't happen again so you're looping that memory and the feeling that came with it. But actually that's not helpful, that situation actually (wasn't dangerous) / (won't happen again) / (isn't something I can solve right now), so let's move on."

    With practice, brain usually says "ok no worries", and you can move on. It's not really that simple but that's the idea.

  • What should i get my 10yo nephew that’s all into radical sports and anything physical for xmas?
  • At 10 he's alllllmost at that age where anything a grown-up relative buys for him is gonna be cringe and not the right brand/style/whatever. You can't go wrong with a voucher so he can get exactly what he wants. Maybe a voucher for a skate shop? You could even take him there and help him get something so it's still an uncle/aunt purchase.

  • What insulting words or phrases have you heard americans being called ?
  • Part of the point (the whole point?) of rhyming slang is that it's opaque and convoluted. That's what makes it fun. It also makes it a bit of a shibboleth - you only understand it if you're part of the culture.

    If you're eating with an Australian and they ask you to "pass the dead horse", it means they think you're Aussie enough to know what it means. Or they know that you won't know what it means and they're fucking with you intentionally.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • The exception is password managers. It's a very rare tool that makes things more secure and easier.

    Your OS probably comes with one, and if not there are cheap or even free ones available.

  • How long does it take for neurotypical (or just typical) people to get over a minor fight?
  • Forget about what's normal for getting over a fight. You know what's not normal? Getting into a screaming match with your partner every month.

    I really can't stress enough, that's not ok. Not a healthy relationship, not a safe environment for your children, and not a good example for them to follow in the future.

    You need couple's counselling ASAP because this pattern has to stop.
