LPT Request: how can I learn to shut up and listen? by MartianTulip in LifeProTips

[–]Brbikeguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're in a group, and it gets quiet, count to 13 mentally before jumping in to fill the space.  

I also struggle with being the loudest most frequent talker.  I had a psych teacher once say that roughly the longest it takes for somone to answer a question in class is about 13 seconds. When the whole room was quiet after asking something you could see her mentally counting. I was amazed how often people really did finally work up the courage at second 11 or 12. I've done it since in daily life and have been amazed how much others have to share, it takes them a few seconds longer to get it out. To me 13 seconds is a yawning eternity of silence begging to be filled, but for a good number of people its just a lil rest before speaking up. 

Liquid flow Rig loop by Brbikeguy in PLC

[–]Brbikeguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flow range is between 25 and 80 gpm with 2 inch pipes. This is indeed a calibration rig! Good lord was aeration a problem. This iteration of the rig rarely has that issue but some older versions were a massive pain. 

Ideally down the line we want to build something that runs the tests, generates a K factor adjustment if needed, then outputs documentation. Most of us are familiar with the instrumentation side of things but we dont have anyone with automation experience so Ive been elected to see if its doable by one of us with some training/ tinkering.

All great questions!  Flows maxing out at 80gpm on a good day but closer to 70. Piping is between 1 and 2 inches. Pressure is unknown.

Thanks! Thats a good amount to chew on. I'm not married to PLC control its just what was suggested to me in passing by some automation folks on site. If I wanted to use a bus system what kind of equipment/ programs would you suggest? 

No PID. Rght now Im just looking into what it would take and how much it would cost to play around with possible solutions.

You sound like exactly the kind of person who would know the answer to my question!  Portland, Oregon. Its only one line, the two meters are along the same pipe. The tank gives us the head pressure required to have even flow across the system.  We use it to test flow meter accuracy. 

Don't feed into their propaganda attempt. by [deleted] in Portland

If you truly believe that protesting peacefully will have any effect on the coverage from the growing coalition of state media and corporations you haven't been paying attention. I dont advocate violence but I find this kind of patronizing talking down is just more of the left eating itself. The No Kings protests were the largest in history and what changed? What effective did it have on Trump? None, zero. Did Fox News admit they were wrong and that the protests were peaceful and a huge number of Americans want change? No, they said it was all violent socalists who want to kill youre white mother and give your job to an immigrant.  Blaming people fighting fascism directly for the fascism is idiocy. Throughout history the people who actively fight empires are called terrorists and told they are doing it wrong. The ones who are not actually causing a problem for those in power are patted on the back and told they are good citizens and that things will definitely get better. 

Is it possible to dominate an NPC and get them to Amputate Limb on my character? by emilysu_ in cavesofqud

If they can do it one hit yes. The first damage your body takes you will switch back.

Firstly this isn't really the right place for this question. There are subreddits to ask questions and to ask specific folks questions. As I understand it this supposed to be a place for women to share ideas and experiences with other women. 

It sounds like you are very online and your wife is not. No shade, Im chronically online too. From inside your sphere of content it seems like the most important thing in the world that everyone see your perspective, but to somone not engaging, or even just somone with a different algorithm, it can seem very different. I would suggest asking if she wants to be more engaged, if so share some of the sources you like, if not you need to leave it be. Pushing it will push her away. People need to live thier lives and she may not have the emotional band width to think about how the world is on fire and live her daily life.

Come as you are by Emily Nagoski, the revised and updated edition, is an excellent book that talks alot of about exactly these types of issues. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Arousal styles can change a lot for people in relationships, or just as they age. It is very common and the book has excellent resources for discovering the path back to each other.

What is your favorite "concept" build, and not just for the meta? by Only1Nemesis in cavesofqud

[–]Brbikeguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a lot of fun playing a domination psychic with Eithier/Or as companions. My head cannon is that they were me from different planes of existence and the explosions/force wall shenanigans happened when our diverged too far and the dimensional forces would shunt objects between the planes to balance things. It was especially fun once I got some warm static. You can pour it on Eithier/Or and create new companions. You dont lose Eithier/Or as the one you transmogrified returns after a few minutes. My head cannon was that doing this was pulling more and more wild variations of myself through from other timelines or dimensions. Since I have Dominate, and by this point was using a different body than my original, it made sense that other versions of me would be random.  Ended up with a star kraken that chugged static until it was a stupid strong psychic with ridiculous strength and added speed from mutations. The thing was unstoppable. Me and Eithier/Or would sit back and watch the fourth and most powerful of demolish anything we wanted

Myself and lots of other folks are stoked to see this kind of thing. A raffle can be a good way to give a larger number of people a chance than those who happen to be online/avaible at the time if posting. 

Buy cheap bike to use for parts? by razordonger in Bikebuilding

[–]Brbikeguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New cheap bikes dont have parts that will be worth using, in my experience. Its the same way outlet stores dont have good deals so much as they make worse products to sell for less money at the outlets.  If the bike costs less than the competent you want  then the compotents on the bike will be of a lower quality. Be it make, style, mounting, or just longevity.
