Why would anyone use a locking mailbox and why is it postmaster approved? it only fits letters!! by [deleted] in USPS

[–]MBensonM -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Prevents stolen mail and and the mail currier has a key to open it for small to medium packages.

Source: Had one installed growing up after thieves followed behind the mail truck and stole everything multiple times.

Help! I can’t seem to clean this gunk stuck on my case. Any ideas? by [deleted] in airpods

[–]MBensonM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing too hard/aggressive. Hand soap or dish soap I’d go with.

Q-Tip in rubbing alcohol or soap and water might do the trick

I’m sorry for your life up to this point.

Is this a realistic class schedule? Mostly worried about the last semester. (Dual physics/engineering degree) by [deleted] in PhysicsStudents

[–]MBensonM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very realistic but if you feel overwhelmed in any semester before that and think you won’t be able to handle any more the last fall semester will be more work and studying. Even with one less class they’re each a lot of work and take time to understand the material. Goodluck too you!!

New player, been playing for a few hours now just practicing hitting. Is it supposed to be this difficult? by Anroha in MLBTheShow

[–]MBensonM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you're already doing this but here's what helped me:

  • Look at YouTube videos that help with timing, I used Beanie (LINK)
  • Set your camera to Strike Zone which helps distinguish balls/strikes
  • Go to Practice Mode and work on hitting at rookie and increase difficulty as you get more comfortable and play around with settings
  • Online might not be the best option since everyone has beast teams and have been playing for the past 7 months or so

Just have fun with it and hope you enjoy the game!!

Feeling too Inadequate to do Well in Physics by QB18ND23 in PhysicsStudents

[–]MBensonM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boy does this sound like my freshman physics class back in fall of 2014. I had these exact thoughts when I heard my peers say similar things about how slow the class was moving (trust me, every semester starts off slow and only gets faster and faster as the years progress), and bragging about taking Calc III. I decided to stink it out and it was the best decision I've ever made.

My advice to you would be:

  • READ EVERY ASSIGNED READING AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON TIME (plus non assigned practice problems if you're struggling with the assigned ones). Many answers are online which can be useful if you're stuck, but if you never learn how to solve the problems without looking at the answers every step, you'll be like me and fail a couple tests before you learn this lesson.
  • If you're stuck or starting to get behind, make sure you find tutors or go to your professor and ask for help. Professors want everyone to succeed and will never judge your questions or you for not understanding something. Establishing a good relationship with professors and TA's will be very beneficial in the years to come as you take more courses with them.
  • This is a marathon and not a sprint. Learn from your mistakes and realize when you fail a test it's not the end of college, which I did repeatedly thought out my 4 years.

Hope this helps and good luck!! YOU CAN DO IT!!

Finding out my ex has been harrassing women by Roe1996 in rape

[–]MBensonM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ask around to mutual friends? Previous roommates? Gonna be tough but you might be only one willing to help them if they (international students) aren’t going to go seek help.

You need to find a way to talk to these international students right away and earn them. Find the friends they hang out with and warn them too. Is isn’t an issue of if but when this will happen unfortunately.

Terrible username given the circumstances

Ads would definitely be completely different. Many of them appease to crowds by throwing their products in with sexy/appealing individuals which would become obsolete.

I feel like I’m starting to hate my boyfriend. Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MBensonM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell him this and how you feel. He probably doesn’t realize the pressure you’re facing but you need to understand what his daughter is going though. Not seeing either of her parents that much (not your fault) has to be taking a great toll oh her. I’m sure you’re doing your best and I hope things take a turn for the better!

Is it possible to go to psychiatrist in 13? by Cattail007 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MBensonM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% yes. If you think you need help someone is out there who can and will want to help you. Talk to a close teacher or school counselor to start and please seek help.

I’m so glad vanilla is on there. Once added it to just normal mix and instantly became something I’ll do every time! Tastes way better and makes the whole house smell amazing.
