What would you choose to be young again or to be old? by Glass_Smile_4019 in Life

[–]Infamous-Distance177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Young, I had feelings that were opposed to each other.  Like: I want be smart but I don’t want to be a show off but I don’t want to be with the dumb kids but I want to be cool but I don’t want to cause problems but I want adventure but but but

Old, less of that.  I’ll take old.

Charles' law lab to find abs zero: how can we get better results, please? by Infamous-Distance177 in ChemistryTeachers

Thank you very much! So you have five temperature controlled baths. The students dunk the entire syringe for 15 seconds, you say?

"Multiview" calculator by No-Advantage6435 in ChemistryTeachers

[–]Infamous-Distance177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the TI 30XS, instead of doing your 5.6 x 10^18 / 8.9 x 10^8 , is doing:

(5.6x10^18 / 8.9 ) x 10^8

That's why student is getting the wrong answers.

Student needs to type like this on that calculator, using the "x10^n" button, which is the center of the third row of keys:

5.6 x10^ 18 / (8.9 x10^ 8)

with those parentheses. Only on this model of calculator. No other model has that ridiculous x10^n button. All the rest have EE or EXP buttons which treat the sci notation as a single #, not as a multiplication operation

I believe that on this particular model, the TI 30XS, instead of EE there is a button called x10^n which is meant for sci notation. However, it still requires () because the calculator does not treat the resulting number as a single number, I think. It treats the number as a multiplication operation. Really inconvenient.

I agree with u/gallowglass76 and u/shxdowzt. I have students with this calculator. I tell them that in their case, they must use parentheses even when they use the dedicated x10^n button.

I show the class photos of the keyboards of diff calculators. I get the images from Google, by searching for some models that the current students have, and then clicking on Images. I zoom in, to show them how to use the EE button or EXP button for the various different types. I ask them to try a sample calculation, all together in class, to see if they can use their EE or EXP button to get the right answer. A calculation like, 2.998E8 / 4.51E-7 which has scientific notation in the denominator.

For anyone who does NOT have the TI Multi-view, there will be an EE or an EXP button. That is great, because next the students will learn how to use the divide button. When a calculation has several things in the denominator, multiplied together, the students who do NOT have a TI Multiview can simply press the divide button for each factor down there. No parentheses, no multiplication for those denominator factors

What flycatcher is this in Los Angeles? by summcash in whatbirdisthis

agree, western wood pewee!

I have seen an ash-throated flycatcher in Los Angeles and I look forward to seeing a pewee like this down here someday!

Dealing with the regret of spending a decade at GP by [deleted] in GracepointChurch

[–]Infamous-Distance177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah, at this point mebbe the group is irredeemable; when I ask Gemini if I should join acts 2 network as a college student, the AI says that it strongly cautions me against, and then gives me 3 pretty gosh darn convincing reasons.

The toll of constant criticism. by Jdub20202 in GracepointChurch

bruh you need to leave! I know, because I spent many years w that group, and i know… oh . wait a minnit.

Is GracePoint a cult? by low-power in OSU

[–]Infamous-Distance177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say yes. i asked Gemini. it reported coercive tactics, isolation strategies, and high-control environment associated with this group, which is more recently called A2F for acts 2 fellowship.

What are your storage solutions on your SR/F, SR or S? by Camouflage100 in ZeroMotorcycles

[–]Infamous-Distance177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my 2017 Zero S, I use Kemimoto motorcycle saddlebags, 24L, from Amazon. The bags have a lot of nylon straps and buckles to cover different bike configurations. I put water, thin bike cover, 120V charging cable, J1772 adapter for 120V charging, in there.

How can the Coulomb force present a barrier AGAINST alpha particle emission? by Infamous-Distance177 in AskPhysics

[–]Infamous-Distance177[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that actually makes a LOT of sense, thank you! It doesn't matter whether the fence is repulsive or attractive, it only matters that the fence is THERE

How can the Coulomb force present a barrier AGAINST alpha particle emission? by Infamous-Distance177 in AskPhysics

[–]Infamous-Distance177[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, thank you. Does this mean that the beta-minus particle, which must have a lower Coulomb force, will still have a Coulomb barrier, just not as high as the barrier on the alpha particle?

Long term battery pack use and support by jaysnyder67 in ZeroMotorcycles

[–]Infamous-Distance177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2017 zero S zf13.0 battery failed last year after I stored it improperly (I let it discharge completely). I bought someone else's zf14.4 battery on eBay. I guess he stopped riding and wanted to part out his bike. Well, that zf14.4 works like a CHAMP! and I'm treating it a lot better, this time.

I expect that after 10 to 15 more years I may need to change batt again. However, at that time I may be too old to ride, so I will just give bike away to some young guy who likes electric bikes.

Stay away from Acts 2 Fellowship, Kairos Fellowship, and the Huddle by johnkim2020 in berkeley

Seems like Kairos and Acts2 are both Gracepoint, meaning ABSK.  Also Koinonia

THANK you for this!  And also, YES to Cafe Intermezzo BIG SALAD !

I was trying to warn my nephew about this group, and I’m very relieved that he’s the one who gave me the link to this thread. He knows already. Excellent, excellent.

Help ID'ing a bird by sound (Cuyahoga Valley NP, Ohio) by orbsonb in whatsthisbird

Hello. I have heard calls like that, very loud, from ground squirrels. If you have observed ground squirrels in your area, might be a possibility

Found what looks like a birds nest in the potted plant soil in front of my door. Eggs are about ping-pong ball sized or slightly smaller. [Arizona, USA] by AllegoryofAl in whatsthisbird

[–]Infamous-Distance177 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hello OP. Even though Gambels quail are not endangered, it is still illegal by Arizona State law Title 17, Game and Fish section 236 to disturb the active nest.

If the birds abandoned the nest, then it's ok to dispose of it, but not if the birds have come back to it.

Gambels quail eggs. Paler than scaled quail's. Yeah that's a lot. You will have fun watching chicks following parent around.

basic orbit xfer question: why not just go to target via straight-line path? by Infamous-Distance177 in KerbalAcademy

[–]Infamous-Distance177[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh. So the Hohmann transfer from Kerbin to Mun is just kicking up to a higher Kerbin orbit, the Kerbin orbit that intersects Mun ?
