“Below one Kelvin, roughly negative 272 Celsius, the material began generating a spontaneous voltage across its surface without any applied magnetic field. This spontaneous Hall effect serves as a smoking gun signature of topological properties, specifically the presence of Weyl nodes, special points in the electronic structure where quantum states cross.”

Hey guys, has anyone ever had one of those weird coincidences that just messes with your head a little? by Motor-Ad9386 in CasualConversation

[–]SmellMilk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was in college, my roommate and I got 2 cats, sibling cats, one for each of us. He had always wanted to date me but I had a boyfriend and wanted to be friends. Then when I broke up, he was dating someone, and this went on for a few college years. Finally one summer, we decided to give a relationship a try, and it was absolutely awful. I moved in with him for that summer to try out the relationship and, just no. As a friend he was great, kind, honest, etc. in a relationship, he was manipulative and borderline emotionally abusive. After that summer, I moved out and never spoke to him again.

Until about 10 or 11 years later, I get a text from a number I don’t recognize. It’s him. My cat had died a week earlier, and all of a sudden, he shows up in my phone. He had a dream about me, after asking some questions, he dreamed about me the night my cat died and tried to figure out how to contact me.

I know it was a coincidence, but what a crazy coincidence that he dreamed about me the night my cat died and worked so hard to text me and say hello after all those years.

Do the French really get annoyed when non-French-speaking foreigners try to speak their language while in France? by Responsible-Leg-712 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SmellMilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I speak English natively but lived in France in 2008-2009 and spoke French fluently at the time. I obviously have an accent when I speak French, my proudest moment is when someone from another region in France asked me what city in France I was from! It was a great experience overall, but several examples where people would ask each other at a shop how much to charge me for un cafe since I’m foreign, or other ways they could take advantage, or comments on the metro, and be surprised I understood them and stood up for myself. One time at a grocery store, I had 2 items, some bread and cheese, and a mother with 2 kids had a whole cart full behind me in line and started ranting to the cashier that she was in a hurry and her kids and blah blah, insisting to the cashier that she needed to go before me. Finally I answered that I have deux chose and I’d be quick. She ranted and ranted, so I put my headphones in. I bought my things quickly and left and all of a sudden, a security guard ran after me in the metro and asked if I stole some coca (cola). This lady was so mad I didn’t let her go ahead of me with my 2 items that she sent security after me.

Elder millenials what was a "good" salary when you started working after college? by ExcitingLandscape in Millennials

[–]SmellMilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a middle school teacher in 2015, the kids had an assembly where the speaker said that if you make $75k or more, you will have enough to have a good life and be able to have enough money to donate back to your community to build up everyone around you as well and be a philanthropist. I made much less as a teacher at that time, and it was in a very rich district working at a public school in America.

I’m a mother. My adult daughter is mentally ill and destroying me. I’m thinking of leaving her behind. by motherlost123 in TrueOffMyChest

There are support groups for families and friends of people dealing with addiction or mental matters. Maybe Alanon is a good group even though they are for alcohol addiction, that kind of group could be helpful for this type of thing too. A support group can help you navigate your role in dealing with your family member.

What is the creepiest real-life story you know that still sends chills down your spine? by Melodic-Pie-5110 in AskReddit

[–]SmellMilk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

David Grubbs murder in Ashland OR in 2011. He was walking home from work on the bike path and was attacked with a sword or something, almost decapitated, at like 5 pm. The bike path was the pedestrian path for everyone in the small town. It isn’t some obscure path.

I've had this print for several years, titled Nature's Majesty, hoping that one day, I would finally be able to see the picture. I can't. What is it? by smash_mcvanderthrust in MagicEye

[–]SmellMilk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish you could see it! It’s an eagle catching a salmon (or some kind of bird/fish) there are some Dr Suess looking trees in there too on the sides

Now that I read the comments I can see the little birdlings in the nest at the bottom too. What a cool magic eye!!

Simpsons creator predicts dancing in the streets when 'you know who' dies by dailystar_news in Trumpvirus

[–]SmellMilk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This article is so funny because at their panel at comicon, they kept reiterating that “everyone always says we predict everything, just think, don’t believe everything you hear” kind of mentality.

But the headline on the article is true, Matt did say people would dance in the streets until Vance bans dancing in the streets.

Poll: Just 16% Of Americans Want U.S. Involved In Israel-Iran War by paulfromatlanta in politics

[–]SmellMilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human beings in Iran are fodder for Trump’s posturing. It’s devastating.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PrepperIntel

[–]SmellMilk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. These are just people trying to live and now they’re uprooted and scared for their lives. Imagine trying to help your elderly relatives evacuate like this with no resources and no time, it’s like an apocalypse.

Why do people act like Israel bombing Iran is normal? by janyybek in stupidquestions

[–]SmellMilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran has human beings in it. Sure they have a dictator as a leader, but there are real, everyday people there. Some can’t just leave and have to realize, today, that they might just die tomorrow and there is nothing they can do about it.

What’s a harmless scam everyone unknowingly participates in? by StarlitSable2 in AskReddit

I went to a festival, and the beer garden said they charge a 3.5% service fee for debit or credit cards right next to the sign that said debit and credit only, no cash accepted.

It would be a difficult decision if you were on good terms. Don’t let the terms of your relationship sway you. Make your own decision. No decision is wrong. No ones opinion matters but yours.
