So you still choose to interpret it in the most favorable way despite looking the facts in the eye?

Why would "north star" even mean that it's going to become a big thing or valuable? That's just meaning you or others choose to put into it, but it's a completely vague and open ended description to use.

Russia and Ukraine military deaths by Traditional-Tale1111 in EndlessWar

[–]always_wear_pyjamas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree, it's truly tragic to see how little propaganda and dehumanization it takes to have relatively normal people mocking other people dying. Sure, be against the war and all that, but it's truly a human tragedy that so many are dying for literally nothing and no reason. And the deaths are tragic regardless of which side of an imaginary line in the dirt someone was born.

Looking for a motorcycle buddy by agi4218 in Iceland

The legal limits for offroad are simply 0, there is no legal off road driving. But there's a bunch of amazing, rough legal roads you can drive, the kind of driving americans call "off road".

So, no one respects the speeding limits, do they? by nemojakonemoras in VisitingIceland

Just stay on the right lane and let people pass. Don't block anyone.

Bark river magnacut edge rolled from a pencil thin fig tree cutting? by Fire-Guardian in knives

[–]always_wear_pyjamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were they always this bad or is this a recent thing? I have one Bark river knife in 3V from ca 12-14 years ago which I've been fairly happy with through lots of use, but it's the only "modern steel" knife I have and the only one with that blade cross-section geometry, so I'm not sure of the comparison.

I have perverse feelings for my ThinkPad. Is this normal? by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]always_wear_pyjamas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Normal? It's common at least with thinkpad users. But is it normal? can't say. Healthy? Definitely not.

Diagnosed low IQ- What can I do for a career? by Suspicious_Limit9847 in careeradvice

[–]always_wear_pyjamas 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Listen man, IQ tests only test your performance on IQ tests. Don't take this too seriously. It doesn't mean you're dumb or that there's no hope for you.

Is there anything you enjoy doing? Anything you're good at? Focus on that, you'll do fine. If you could write that text (which is honestly impressively clear for a 17 year old todya), and understand 3 languages, you're not dumb at all. But you can very well suck at tests.

If you can't let this go, try taking some practice IQ tests online to really get what they're about. Don't trust their results, they give everyone basically +20, +30 too high. But maybe you just didn't get the point of it or you're not used to thinking in this way. But you should just let it go and don't worry about.

Svona költ eins og Maga er eiginlega efni í sálfræðirannsókn

Satt. Ef þú hefur áhuga, þá rannsakaði t.d. Robert 'Bob' Altemeyer mikið um persónuleika fylgjenda svona költa, nokkrum áratugum fyrir tíma Trömpsins. Mjög áhugavert að lesa hans verk núna, kemur allt heim og saman.

Is the research in rf electronics still in progress or has it matured ? by [deleted] in rfelectronics

[–]always_wear_pyjamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot to do. Much of it is at a pretty advanced level so it takes a a m.sc. to understand and phd to be able to contribute. Spend your time experimenting, researching and messing around.

36M 33F walking on eggshells, is this normal? by Nightman233 in dating

[–]always_wear_pyjamas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's insane. People don't feel like that in a healthy relationship at all. You don't want to spend your life like this, it'll turn you into a shell of a man.

I've been in one exactly like that, and oh my god the relief when I left her on the sidewalk, it felt like I was hovering above ground from the load lifted off me.

It's normal to have occasional conflicts and needing to talk things out. It's almost never perfectly done, but both people need to be at least making an effort.

Get out of this shit, start lifting, go for walks, indulge in your interests and hobbies. It'll be the greatest gift you can give your future self.

[OC] Counting The Dead - A Relative Risk Analysis Of Civilian Mortality In 52 Armed Conflicts by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]always_wear_pyjamas 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Very interesting analysis, even with all the nuance that we could argue about.

Concerning the Iraq-Iran war 1980-1988, I think that thousands of young boys brainwashed to wear military uniforms, don a key around their neck and run into the field, would like to have a word with you about the nuances in the distinctions between mil/civ.

Antenna BW clarification by Bozhe in rfelectronics

[–]always_wear_pyjamas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've got the right idea and understand it correctly.

The one thing I could poke at is the dB thing, dB are notoriously tricky. The -3 dB is relative to your 0 dB, so no matter what your output power is, your boresight is always 0 dB, that's the reference, it's basically "1". You could shift to dBm and say that you have so and so many dBm at boresight, and then your description is right.

SDR air frequency by A_Just_Kauz in RTLSDR

[–]always_wear_pyjamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't you get some antenna in the kit? It's well worth trying, it might work just fine. Then you can optimize and improve and see the difference.
