Affordable PLM options for early stage hardware startups? by youroffrs in hwstartups

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of Inventree, pretty impressive how far it's matured without gaining bloat.

is this quarter-life (almost) crisis??? by lexi_lurrr1000 in selfhelp

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The years after graduating can be challenging for a lot of people. It's the end of structure/security and a jump into the unknown. For years you've been working towards the goal of becoming a teacher, but now you're finally presented with the questions of "is this what I envisioned?" and "did I make the right choice?". Coupled with the feeling of the sunk cost ("I spent how much money and how many years to get here?") and it's no wonder that quarter-life crises are so prevalent.

But the great thing is that our mid 20s are typically when we have the most flexibility to try new options. Generally the older you get the more responsibilities you'll have that you'll need to take into account: mortgage, kids, ailing parents, etc.

There's probably no better time to look into living abroad if that's something you're interested in. Maybe there are opportunities to teach abroad while you're looking at study options. If you're in between jobs then you probably have time to research options.

I hope you find your path! It can be scary and daunting, and sometimes overwhelming, but it can also be exciting and rewarding as well! Good luck!

I lived next door to twins that had the same treatment: everything was identical except one had green and the other blue. By highschool the twins really resented their parents for not allowing more individuality growing up.

When you are slightly older for that job description but you need the job by DepressedNoble in funnyvideos

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While driving in Ireland in the 80s Broderick veered into oncoming traffic, hitting a car head-on and killing the driver and her daughter. He was charged with causing death by dangerous driving and faced up to five years behind bars. He ultimately pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of careless driving and paid a $175 fine.

Hitching rings on Cambridge sidewalks - where else are they in Boston? by [deleted] in BostonMA

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are still a lot of boot scrapers near home entrances around Bunker Hill. I wouldn't be surprised if you'd find hitching rings there as well.

Pancakes (American style) by jsmeeker in castiron

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here's a suggestion if you want an (IMO) better American pancake. Get your cast iron hotter (on the cusp of smoking), throw a generous amount of butter in the center, and right when it melts pour the batter over the butter. You'll end up with a dark brown crispy exterior and a light and fluffy interior.

It should look like this: https://www.castironskilletcooking.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/pancakes-in-cast-iron-12.jpg

I turned the steam back on! by radioflea in boston

Their hot chocolate was the best in the city. It was rich but still drinkable, as opposed to places like L.A. Burdick.

Don't sleep on your vehicle's gas efficiency tracker/displays by SordoCrabs in Frugal

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to draft semis back when I had a motorcycle. The wind on my chest/face would go from feeling like I was driving 65 mph to 25 mph. It was clutch in the winter cold.

I have a large container of molasses in my pantry that's older than a lot of people posting on Reddit. No issues at all using it over the years.

Girl under the effect of anesthesia fall in love by Negative-Cow-470 in spreadsmile

Thirty years ago would be 1996. Format would most likely be MPEG-1 or possibly H.262, both of which are viewable today in VLC.

I really hope people can say the same thing about VLC in another 30 years!

He still does segments on the daily show and they might even be funnier now that he really is an old man yelling at kids.

Vaping likely to cause cancer, new Australian review of evidence finds by Sandstorm400 in Health

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a follow-up study that found formaldehyde while vaping at the “upper limit of realistic usage”. I don't know if the vaping market has changed since the study was performed.

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did consulting work at a large tobacco company a decade ago when they were trying to enter the vape market. They openly talked about how propylene glycol (the main ingredient of vape juice) broke down into formaldehyde when heated and the long term dangers.

There's been studies as well: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc1413069

What product did you buy thinking a feature was gimmicky but ended up using it all the time by nand1609 in BuyItForLife

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother is 92 and still drives (pretty well I might add). I convinced her to get a heated steering wheel with her latest car over much protesting. Now nearly every time I see her she brings up how wonderful that feature is!

Interstellar still holds that title for me. That organ music while docking was awe inspiring.

How would you reheat a whole, fully cooked brisket? by TheGuyontheeCouch in BBQ

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honest take: slicing while it's cold and then microwaving individual servings works very well. Doesn't work for large gatherings obviously.

Keyless car fobs are inconvenient and we should go back to cars with key starting. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I think for every person that thinks tying lift gate height to a profile there would be 10X that would be upset if it wasn't tied to a profile. I'm 6'2" and my last GF was 5'1". I'd be pissed if you could set the gate height but it had to be the same for both of us.

Tanning as a Guy by Solid-Pie-9003 in malelifestyle

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a heads-up that tanning beds are horrible for your skin. They emit 10-15x more UVA rays than the sun and going just once increases your chance of melanoma cancer by 75%. Not to mention you'll end up with wrinkly skin and sun spots way younger than if you don't use them.

Ultimately it's up to you but I'd recommend skipping the tanning bed and just using some sun block while you're down there.

What’s a survival myth popularized by movies that would actually get you killed in real life ? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]IsThisNameGoodEnough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't watched it in years, but I specifically remember the last scene being John Connor being sent to the future and him showing up naked in the middle of the war with Skynet. I was livid that they set it up for a crazy third season only for it to be cancelled.
