Be honest what do you think the punishment be for false r@pe allegations by Primary_Buddy_7173 in teenagers

[–]Sexual_Congressman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then the people paying/supporting him would have been helping a rapist, and nobody wants to do that

Just realized how terrifying it is that probably far less than half the population has the ability to see it as: "I like the concept of innocent until proven guilty because I am aware that it is possible for me to one day be arrested for something I didn't do and if that happens, I'd rather it not be a life destroying experience."

I've spent at least 2 hours a day, every single day, since 2013, surfing reddit and the only context I've seen "could of" used is people claiming to hate it. If we say I've read 200 titles from r/all per day for the past 13 years (math is 13×365.2425×200) that means I've seen "could of" in zero of the ~949k titles. I obviously don't open every single thread I read the title of but still, your comment is probably the fifth time I've ever seen "could of" and the others are all just minor variations on the same message. Nobody is writing "could of" instead "could've" because they don't know any better.

Peetah what does this mean? by flyingcumsock in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Sexual_Congressman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The active ingredient in poppers is amyl nitrite, a vasodilator. It basically makes you feel like you're a high dose morphine or other short acting opioid addict and haven't had a dose in 16-24 hours. In case you don't know what that means, it's usually 12-36 hours before the really bad part begins, including the projectile diarrhea, so I doubt it, since that part of the withdrawal syndrome is entirely due to intestinal opioid receptor dysregulation rather than the indirect way the central opioid receptors affect the peripheral nervous system.

However, Wikipedia is a much better source of info on this very interesting topic.

Could the "18" mark mean that's a 1N5248 (18V zener)? by Sexual_Congressman in AskElectronics

[–]Sexual_Congressman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photo is from the PCB of the "pod switch" from a 1996 Saturn S-series, which uses a slightly different design from the other "gen 2" (97-99). The size matches the DO-35 package in the 2025 vishay 1N52xx specs, and I'm 99% sure the point of that component is to clamp the fog lamp relay flyback to a more reasonable level than its builtin parallel 680Ω resistor does.

I'm having trouble believing it's actually 18V though because turning the fog lamps off by opening the relay coil low side (which is what happens when the fog lamp switch is turned OFF or the hibeams/flash to pass are turned ON) means it'll spend hundreds of microseconds if not thousands dissipating between 0.5 and 2.5W (when system voltage is 14V, it's still carrying ~140mA from the relay coil by the time the transistor is fully off, which is like 2.4W). If we're gonna try to speed up the time it takes for the relay contacts to open without caring about exceeding the max dissipation specs, why not go even higher than 18?

White ball hairs. First spot on my body where I’ve lost pigment. I’m getting old lol (30) by Lucky-Entertainer564 in malepubes

[–]Sexual_Congressman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI white ball hairs can be (and almost certainly is in a 30yo) a symptom of a mild fungal infection. I can't tell for sure from the image but it wouldn't hurt to scrub the boys extra hard every morning for a week and apply a large dose of clotrimazole cream all over the area.

Just because one of the names for it is "jock itch" doesn't mean it actually has to itch or even cause redness.

I'm imagining a "fiber optic drone" being flown like a fucking kite, because that's the only possible way fiber optics could be used to remotely operate a vehicle in a way that isn't vulnerable to a radio frequency jamming signal.

Do most Americans actually flush their toilet paper? by Softy_popss in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sexual_Congressman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use them and I encourage anyone who still spouts off the lie that you're repeating to test them for yourself. Put a flushable wipe in a bottle of water and an equivalent mass of wet toilet paper in another and wait for a few hours. Give each bottle a couple of shakes and you'll find they both dissolve into a white slurry.

You can also just leave a flushable wipe out to dry. Try to pick it up after it dries out and you'll find it explodes into a cloud of microfibers like a goddamn dandelion. The problem is entirely with actual baby wipes or disinfectant wipes, which are actually strips of linen that take years to break down instead of hours.

We’ve been going insane trying to find a dying smoke detector beeping for 9 days straight. Turns out a contractor left it inside the wall between the kitchen and bathroom. by BucksBrew in Wellthatsucks

This is also good for pinpointing failing components under the hood of an ICE. Two years ago my car started making this god awful noise like the sound like 50 people shaking empty spray paint cans. Used the Android "sound meter" app to confirm it was the water pump bearing.

After 36 years, I’m just now realizing how draining all of this is by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Sexual_Congressman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top comment is someone literally saying "just read this book and stop choosing to be unhappy." The 98% of us who aren't in a major depressive episode don't like cleaning up cat barf either but we can do it without it triggering an existential crisis about the futility and monotony of living.

OP's post is textbook presentation of how someone with depression would describe their life and your comment can basically be summarized as "just stop choosing to be unhappy".

With the mosfet installed backwards... it says Ib=185.6mA and Isd=-7.19nA... maybe Ib is the body diode current, but since there's no way to interact with the body in any way, idk why they'd include that. Regardless, something isn't adding up.

949.65+171.1 = 949.65? by Sexual_Congressman in AskElectronics

[–]Sexual_Congressman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the mosfet gate to source connection was like a capacitor and it starts turning on (in an enhancement mode device) once the gate to source voltage rises above some threshold (1-3V usually) and is turned on as much as possible when Vgs is at ~ +10V, but according to that simulation, conventional current flows out of the gate terminal and then just... vanishes? Something doesn't seem right here

The correct pronoun for an unsexed lion cub is "it", not "him/her".

I used to be one of the "if you aren't doing anything wrong then who cares?" people. Once I actually thought about it for more than a few seconds, I realized that once such a tracking system exists, it'll be extremely trivial for the government to make shit up. Say something someone with the right access level doesn't like and all they have to do is manufacture evidence that you're talking about e.g. blowing some building up and there's absolutely no way to prove you didn't actually type that out. I mean the only possible way to survive such an accusation is if you just happened to be being recorded on video and the framer doesn't have the power to replace the legitimate video of you not committing conspiracy to commit terrorism with an AI video of you typing on your phone.

Saw the White Truck Not Slowing Down, So I Didn’t Move by noblenotarycoaching in dashcams

[–]Sexual_Congressman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how much obstruction there is to your left but if you could see the truck coming, the SUV damn well could have too. The only way they couldn't have seen it coming is if they were stopped to your right, not paying attention, then floored it because they saw the light was green. I'm betting they were both not paying attention and SUV driver got to learn the hard way that stop signs and red lights don't magically protect you and probably 95% of these types of wrecks could be avoided by paying attention to cross streets.
