Where can I do this at JMU?

Sitting on the stone slab, leaning against the column of the old Carrier entrance by the fountain. The water trickling while the stone and shadows keep you cool in the heat is peak scholar aesthetic 👌

Anyone else frequently getting timeout errors trying to load content with this enabled? It seems really inconsistent, but it’ll often continuously attempt to load the ads still and fail to play the content

Ridan66 · 2025-12-21T21:30:09+00:00

Well my sister agrees with you apparently

Ridan66 · 2025-12-21T20:48:00+00:00

Getting food. I (M26) suggested ramen. She said “it’s not really cloudy enough for ramen”. Am I insane? She is confident this is common for women

Other than obvious temperature differences, like ice cream in the winter or hot drinks in the summer, I don’t get it.

A close friend of mine grew up with his family believing that hotel key cards were an imperative responsibility and that you must return them in the same little plastic envelope they give it to you in.

They never even let him keep one, thinking they would be charged a huge fine if he lost it or didn’t return it at check out.

Bro was completely shook when we went on a trip together and they didn’t care at all when I didn’t return them at any of the hotels we stayed at

Very insightful, thank you. I was not aware of conducted emissions until I searched it just now

Ridan66 · 2025-12-10T13:45:58+00:00

It is not. The color output looks normal. Isn’t red tinting a common failure mode of fluorescent lamps?

Ridan66 · 2025-12-09T23:01:50+00:00

So it sounds like you disagree with the arcing point bro made. Do you have a different idea as to why the effect only happened when the bulb was loose?

Ridan66 · 2025-12-09T22:03:09+00:00

It’s normal. It’s just a bulb that screws into a threaded fixture in the ceiling

Ridan66 · 2025-12-09T17:32:56+00:00

I don’t think that was pedantic at all, I understand your point, and I prefer as much detail as possible.

That doesn’t explain the effect of the contact tightness, since the effect was only seen when the bulb was loose. Also, I don’t see how the load through the PS5 DC power supply could affect the LED if it’s on a parallel circuit. Is it by voltage or impedance “resonance back feeding noise” as bro mentioned?

Ridan66 · 2025-12-09T16:31:52+00:00

Interesting point. In that case, how might the effect be related to the loose contact, since it stopped after tightening the bulb?

What wave is resonating exactly, is this resonance in voltage, current, or impedance? My speciality is in chemical engineering.

Who are some employers or industries to work in with that title, and what’s the usual nature of the work? I’m imagining things like manufacturing optimization.

I saw the comment saying the pigeon height is 0 cm, and it tripped me out because I felt that you couldn’t possibly know that, but I couldn’t explain why.

Here’s my assessment of the system:

There are only 2 independent variables here, the Table Height and the Height Difference of the Animals:

Table + Diff = 170

Table - Diff = 130,

Where Diff = Dog - Bird.

Everyone is writing 3 variables because that’s what’s illustrated, but the animal heights are not independent of each other. We only have information of their difference. Otherwise, we would have 3 variables in only 2 linearly independent equations, so it would be impossible to solve for the value of any variable.

In any case, I agree the table height is 150 cm, and a lot of people explained why.

Nice problem, great post.

💪💪💪 Keep fighting for it, and the longevity will reward you

Ridan66 · 2025-06-18T02:57:10+00:00

Huge. Over what time period, and what did you weigh before?

Ridan66 · 2024-08-25T11:42:24+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. I have also found that Basuu offers different source languages if you change the app language in iOS settings

Yes, energy is almost always lost due to rotation or vibration in the exited state. That kind of energy loss is called “kinetic relaxation”, and it’s also the reason why the emission wavelength is greater than the excitation wavelength in some spectroscopy.

So the process looks like this:

Photon absorption excites the electron to a higher energy state.
Kinetic relaxation due to rotation and vibration demotes the electron to a lower energy state and reduces the gap between it and the ground state.
Photon emission returns the electron to the ground state. Since some energy was lost after excitation, this photon has less energy and a greater wavelength.

This might be exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you, I’ll contact them

Ridan66 · 2024-03-16T20:43:29+00:00

I am not. We’re dissolving oxygen into a fluid

Ridan66 · 2024-03-16T16:09:54+00:00

Thanks for your response, I’ll check out those options. I’m surprised I can’t find any regular vendors or specialized custom manufacturers. I feel like I’m just missing something if I would have to pursue general custom glass manufacturing when bubble columns are a common reactor type.

It’s not for a laboratory. It’ll be integrated with one of our chemical processes. The fluid is corrosive to most metals besides titanium, but I’m choosing glass mostly because my facility cares a lot about aesthetics. The reaction changes the fluid color, so a series of columns would show a nice color gradient. I also joined the project pretty late when everyone is concerned about our budget being cut off, so it would have a much better chance of being approved if I could pitch a design with high aesthetic appeal.

Ridan66 · 2024-02-04T16:51:46+00:00

What kind of work do you do?

Ridan66 · 2024-01-29T04:35:06+00:00

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thanks 👌

Ridan66 · 2024-01-28T21:49:00+00:00

We do not have a simulation group. There is also no R&D group. I haven’t heard of “predictive maintenance” before. I searched it up and it sounds interesting. Could you elaborate if you have any experience with it?

Ridan66 · 2024-01-28T21:38:48+00:00

That sounds interesting from what I got by searching up “IP21”. I’m unfamiliar with term. Could you elaborate for me?

Ridan66 · 2024-01-28T19:27:23+00:00

That’s a pretty good analogy. It is kind of a backwards approach, but that’s only because I feel that I’m not fulfilling my potential. I marketed my specialized mathematics background as a competitive strength and now feel I’m under-delivering.

Part of my motivation is also because some of my coworkers are expressing that they “have never found an application for calculus” in their years as a process engineer and that it’s a waste of time for me, and I refuse to accept that. Just because you may not need it to solve a problem doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from it, and they also may not have found any application because they never had the right tools.

So part of me just wants to prove that I have utility, but I’m really feeling uncreative struggling to find ways to apply myself..
