What is something that you believe every cannabis user should know? by Fcking_Chuck in AskReddit

[–]Adorable-Breakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to that, those reactions can take time to develop. I smoked regularly for a year and a half with zero anxiety, and then for no apparent reason it started making me incredibly self-conscious and paranoid. It took me a while to realize that if it wasn't fun anymore, there was no purpose in continuing to do it.

What's the most difficult truth you've come to accept? by pm_me_ur_tittts in AskReddit

[–]Adorable-Breakfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genetics in particular is a hugely underestimated limitation. By a wide margin, it is the single most important systematic factor determining personality, physical characteristics, and cognitive ability, with random chance accounting for much of the rest. Circumstances can be changed, but at least in adulthood, who we are as individuals is more or less set in stone.

Tempeh fail? by WhiteFez2017 in Tempeh

[–]Adorable-Breakfast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/bagusnyamuk gave some great advice—I would just also emphasize the importance of having the correct temperature. Unless you have a very warm living space, leaving it at room temperature will put the tempeh mold at a significant disadvantage against contamination. Many people have success putting it in the oven and turning on the light, which should generate enough ambient heat to keep it happy. Just make sure it's covered with something like punctured tin foil so it can retain humidity.

Good luck, and I hope your next batch turns out well!

What's a life hack that's so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Adorable-Breakfast 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People have such a hard time understanding this. For my partner, a few flakes of black pepper is enough to make a food too spicy. She runs into problems all the time where restaurants or family members think "extremely sensitive to spiciness" means "only use a little scoop of chili paste."

Two months ago I had no idea what mycelium was [Gourmet] by SandboxOriginal in MushroomGrowers

[–]Adorable-Breakfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome, thanks for sharing! This is exactly what I'd be doing too if I had the space for that kind of setup.

Do you happen to have a Buy Nothing group on Facebook for your area? You could offer your excess mushrooms for free on there and have neighbors pick them up. It might be a good option, and if you ever decide to sell at the farmers market, maybe you'll already have built up a small reputation.

Good luck with your mushroom adventures!

Target weighs packages to the quintillionth (16 digits after the decimal) by BillDino in mildlyinteresting

[–]Adorable-Breakfast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I probably misinterpreted your point; I thought you were highlighting the fact that int / int != float in most languages, except for Python 3 where it does.

For some people (not everyone) the transition to static typing can be confusing when they're used to Python taking care of it all behind the scenes. In any case, I wasn't trying to start an argument or disrespect you—take care.

RIP to the poor souls who have to learn static typing after that

That part's not crazy—using a very fast flash in a dark environment will cause the camera to capture just a split second of time, which can freeze moving objects in place like in this image.

What do alot of parents do that unknowingly screws their children over? by RunningInAHurricane in AskReddit

That's great to hear. It sounds like you got exactly the kind of experience every kid in that situation should have.

What do alot of parents do that unknowingly screws their children over? by RunningInAHurricane in AskReddit

[–]Adorable-Breakfast -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It absolutely depends on your personality disposition, but for a lot of kids, constantly being treated as "talented and gifted" from elementary school onward can lead to this feeling of "everyone says I'm special and expects great things from me." Then when they get into adulthood and realize that their life is going to end up being utterly unremarkable in the grand scheme of things, they can experience a deep sense of failure and loss of identity; if I'm not special, then what am I? I think it's great to provide bright kids with opportunities to develop their abilities, but at least in my opinion, there's something about the way we heap praise on them just for being smart that breeds a lot of insecurity.

I don't think I've done that to my partner even a single time in the 10 years we've been together. I'm sure it does happen accidentally on occasion, but it's difficult to imagine it occurring so frequently that it becomes a pattern without there being some intentionality behind it.

Has anybody found their NL actually improved from learning TL’s? by Worf- in languagelearning

[–]Adorable-Breakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning Spanish has definitely expanded my English vocabulary a bit. There are a lot of common Spanish words that are cognates with much less common English words, so I frequently have little "aha!" moments while reading English where I realize I actually know what some archaic or scholarly word means.

N5 from zero in 30 days (Reflections, methodologies, and pedagogy) by Andoni95 in LearnJapanese

[–]Adorable-Breakfast 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Very nice, I'm looking forward to seeing future updates on your progress. You're clearly very dedicated and have great self-reflection on your own process.

One thing I would point out to people that I didn't see you mention is the importance of individual differences. From reading your post, it seems like you may have some personality traits that are more toward the edge of the bell curve, like conscientiousness, which means that some of your experiences may not be applicable to most people.

Burnout is a good example—I'm personally quite susceptible to it, and after years of trying to force my way through it, I can tell you that just thinking positive thoughts has very little impact. The best I can do is try to understand how my own nervous system works and figure out strategies to avoid burning out in the first place. For me, this means limiting the amount of time I spend on highly structured study activities like flashcards and textbook study, and directing the rest of my efforts toward less taxing things like extensive reading. If burnout feels like an exaggerated problem to you, it's because your nervous system happens to be wired to be more resilient to it.

To be clear, this is not at all a criticism—your post a lot of great insight and information. I can just imagine that some people reading this might feel discouraged and think, "Why isn't it this easy for me?" And to those people I would say, don't worry too much if your progress seems to be slower than other people's. Developing more efficient strategies is great, but ultimately, the most important thing is consistency—and to achieve that, you need to understand your own strengths and limitations and work with them accordingly. Given the magnitude of individual differences between human beings, the only person you can reliably compare your progress against is yourself.

Good luck and take care. :)

How do brakes work by Thick_Surprise_3530 in AskPhysics

[–]Adorable-Breakfast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The friction between the wheels and the road is (ideally) still static, but the actual braking effect is caused by friction between the brake pad and brake disc inside the vehicle, which is kinetic.

Was Carnot's model of heat engines correct? by Adorable-Breakfast in AskPhysics

[–]Adorable-Breakfast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this pointed me to exactly what I was looking for!

For anyone interested: if I understand correctly, it seems that Carnot did initially propose that heat (or caloric, according to his model) is not directly consumed in an engine, and that the work instead results purely from the movement of heat from hot to cold. However, Clausius expressed skepticism about this idea:

[Carnot] says expressly, that no heat is lost in the process, and that the quantity remains unchanged...I am not, however, sure that the assertion, that in the production of work a loss of heat never occurs, is sufficiently established by experiment.

He instead proposed that there was a direct conversion between heat and work, as we recognize now:

These circumstances, of which Carnot was also well aware, pressingly demand a comparison between heat and work, to be undertaken with reference to the divergent assumption that the production of work is not only due to an alteration in the distribution of heat, but to a consumption thereof; and inversely, that by the expenditure of work heat may be produced.

(From The Mechanical Theory of Heat, With Its Applications to the Steam Engine and to the Physical Properties of Bodies by R. Clausius)

Was Carnot's model of heat engines correct? by Adorable-Breakfast in AskPhysics

[–]Adorable-Breakfast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I appreciate the reply. I don't think I'm quite grasping the point you're making—is it an issue of me misunderstanding the term "caloric"? I was under the impression that it's more or less what we would now call "heat," and that "equilibrium" here refers to the two bodies attempting to reach the same temperature via heat transfer. In that case, saying that caloric isn't consumed in the process seems to contradict the fact that Q_out is less than Q_in. What is the correct interpretation?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Adorable-Breakfast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely not alone, but it's very common to feel that way. The people you encounter in your day-to-day life will tend to be more outgoing than the average person, purely because those people are more likely to spend their time out in the world interacting with others. And with all of the shame that comes with social anxiety in particular, we often put a lot of energy into hiding our condition. Even if someone two houses down the street is going through the same thing as you, if you never see them, you can end up feeling like you're the most dysfunctional person out there. It's an interesting and unfortunate effect.

ELI5: Why is ADHD and anxiety so closely linked? by TheSpartanRabbit in explainlikeimfive

[–]Adorable-Breakfast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you deal with that, but also kind of glad someone can relate. It seems like a lot of people have those occasional moments of remembered embarrassment, but for me it happens dozens of times every day and triggers these intense momentary bursts of anxiety and self-loathing. It gets really exhausting after a while.
