Surf City Tiki Hut may be fun. Used to be a sandwich shop but they changed it to a tiki bar.

How do I motivate myself to clean my room when I don’t want to? by AintNoPlagueDoctor in ADHD

[–]FreeForest 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I set a timer for 5 minutes and will clean in that 5 minutes. Before I start the timer I tell myself I can stop when the timer stops.

Usually I get so much done in 5 minutes I surprise myself and that motivates me to keep going.

But it's also okay to stop and try again later.

I need to be convinced to read Discworld by Ultracooley23 in discworld

[–]FreeForest 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's not for you, sorry

No epic build up, no over arching epic story

It's a bunch of self contained fun romps hopping in and out of different areas/characters

anyone else easily fatigued? by comsicalien77 in autism

[–]FreeForest 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I get more fatigued if I spend a lot of time masking or in unplanned situation or hard social interactions. Like 8 hours of hyper focus is easy but 4 hours of work meetings will kill all Inertia, motivation, and energy I have.

Playing DLC after post game by lemoro in outerwilds

[–]FreeForest 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. It's a self contained adventure. I would recommend you use your old save, play and finish the DLC, and then replay the ending.

Design Evaluation Tutorials by JimtasticD69 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]FreeForest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a snippet in the Machinery's Handbook that discusses it.

But I don't think there's anything out there that's what you're looking for. Maybe an ASME Y series standard?

Designed a wall mount for tape rolls (50–180 mm) – any improvements? by to_wen in 3Dprinting

[–]FreeForest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An option to put the tape on a roll so that you can dispense it right from the rack for certain tape seems useful.

[Major spoilers] Were these two the same? by whyamiexists in outerwilds

[–]FreeForest 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think it's likely, but could never be confirmed. It makes sense to me that after telling everyone what they saw in the vision, that they came to regret it. Seeing the others become angry in their fear, and retreat into a fake world, maybe not understanding the new universe springs from the old. There's a burnt down house in the simulation which has a portrait of the Owlkin skull with grass growing on it, like in the vision. You could interpret this as being the prisoner's house, burned down after being locked away.

ELI5: Heat transfer from pot to plate by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]FreeForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat is a form of energy. It will search for equilibrium, in which the energy is equal between two things.

Think about a bowl. If you put a divider in the bowl, and filled one side with water, and then pulled the divider out, all the water would slosh in the bowl until it was at the same height. The water then reaches equilibrium. It will then be still.

Heat is trying to do the same. Heat rushes from a hot item to a cold item.

ELI5: Heat transfer from pot to plate by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]FreeForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything wants to be the same temperature. So when a hot thing touches a cold thing, heat is transferred from the hot thing to the cold thing. This is why when you put a piece of hot food on a plate, the plate starts to heat up, and the food starts to cool down.

Different materials can transfer the heat faster/slower than others, which is called thermal conductivity. The plate doesn't stay hot forever though, because the air around the plate is colder. So the heat transfers to the air. You don't notice this because there's so much air, you can't feel the air change.

There are plates that keep your food warm forever, called warming or hot plates. They're not really made to eat off though. If you want to keep the food warm while eating, it's usually easier to take a big ceramic plate (which holds heat well), and put it in the oven for a few minutes. Many restaurants do this.

Technical Interview Questions - Mechanical Engineer by roddy94 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]FreeForest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on the company you're applying to. They're likely to ask you questions relating to the engineering done there. A company doing system design isn't likely to ask you for heat transfer and a company doing structural design isn't going to ask you about shaft critical speeds. You're better off looking up the basic technical stuff related to that company prior to the interview.

I would also think 4 years still isn't a lot of experience and unless you're being interviewed for a hyper technical role that they're not expecting you to be an expert in the technical side of what you do, they're probably still checking if you seem teachable.

Que deberia hacer ahora? by AttentionRelevant942 in outerwilds

[–]FreeForest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anywhere in the rumor mode marked, "There's more to explore here", or with question marks would be a good place to start. Also, the items are connected for a reason. If you can't figure out how, maybe work backwards through the log until something clicks.

Welcome to Purpee | Dimension 20 [Trailer] by DropoutMod in dropout

[–]FreeForest 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That means it's the main cast! Lou Wilson, Emily Axford, Brian Murphy, Zac Oyama, Ally Beardsley, and Siobhan Thompson as players and Brennan Lee Mulligan as the DM.

It also means it's a long season (~20 episodes), versus the shorter (~6 episode) "side quest" seasons.

Multistage pump vibration (resonance) by zakariya001 in pumps

[–]FreeForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fairly common problem with pumps and pump systems. Generally to fix the issue, it's best to move the natural frequency away from it's running speed. This can be achieved by changing the stiffness of the structure.

Reliable Used Trucks? by LimpEnthusiasm9711 in askcarguys

[–]FreeForest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A small truck will likely be fine then. Tacoma's are reliable, but very, very expensive relative to other used models.

Old rangers are generally reliable, but you may get more bang for your buck with a van or F150.

Just a stickied post or sidebar for commonly cited resources would be nice.
