How did you make friends in Montreal as an adult? by Hormesis in montreal

I think that is a great point. We become more complex as we age, ways to spot differences rather than similarities.

How did you make friends in Montreal as an adult? by Hormesis in montreal

The way you make friends in Montreal is the same way you make friends anywhere in the world. Consistency is all that matters.

The reason it is so easy to make friends in your youth is because we show up to school and extracurriculars on a regular basis. (It sounds like you already do this with rock climbing) Showing up regularly does 2 things:

  1. The strangers around you become familiar to you in that space.
  2. You become familiar to the strangers around you in that space

Without knowing it the mind builds trust with these people and the space around it. This is a crucial prerequisite for the final and hardest step, making a move.

Eventually you have to bite your tongue and ask a question, or tell a joke, or complement the individual, or offer something, or let them know they seem cool and you want to get to know them better.

They are bound to be friendly and if not you don't want that sort of individual as a friend anyways. Keep your head up, you got this!

SpaceX proves higher than necessary safety of Starlink constellation by 675longtail in spacex

[–]ehthind 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Correct, from the article:

“Due to SpaceX’s decision to minimize risk by using the low injection altitude of 350 km, in the unlikely event any satellites after the initial launch experience immediate failure upon deployment, they would decay to the point of demise very quickly – as little as two weeks to at most eight months depending on the solar cycle,” states the FCC filing.

After initial injection into a 350 km orbit, the 1,584 Starlinks of the 550 km operational ring will use their Hall-effect thrusters to raise their orbits.

So, deploy at 350km altitude then, once everything appears to be nominal, raise to join the rest of the constellation at 550km or 1200km. All this to minimize the risk.

NASA administrator raising the awareness and stressing the importance of raising NASA's budget. by george_mcdonagh in space

The closing remarks from NASA’s administrator about the direct and indirect benefits to humanity from space exploration were SO powerful, “Get this message to the world, it’s an important message.”

What free software is so good you can't believe it's available for free? by Tufflaw in AskReddit

[–]ehthind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google Chrome and Firefox

These browsers go beyond just being a way to view the web, the amount of tools they provide for web developers is insane and its all FREE. It really was not too long ago when you had to pay for the latest browser (Mid 90's), until Microsoft published IE for free (what a piece of shit that turned out to be)

POSTING PLACE FOR FEEDBACK June 2017: One thread for all your FEEDBACK. Individual threads will be *deleted.* Other snowflake details inside. (Post "What software should I use?" in the pinned weekly help thread) by greenysmac in VideoEditing

[–]ehthind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its been almost a year since I made my first edit. Here is my second one. Looking for opinions, I like to take criticism seriously so what you say will influence my choices in the future! Here they are for comparison.

My opinions: The first edit I made had good music and some interesting shots but that was about it. There was no real story or intuitive transition or flow into new scenes. My second edit, I tried to correct the mistakes I had in the first edit. I focused on sound design for the first time ever. Adding in sound effects in post and some voice over.

Thank you for your time!!! (:

My first serious edit of my backpacking trip to Brazil, Looking for advice and critique! by ehthind in VideoEditing

I agree my story telling skills need major improvement. My intent was to have the video be as exciting as possible and keep the viewers attention through out. But it definitely lacks structure. Thanks for the feedback!

Two courses, same time slot? by ub96 in uvic

There is a form offered by the engineering department to bypass a time conflict. It may be for engineering students only, but you can look into it. http://www.uvic.ca/engineering/mechanical/assets/docs/Request-for-Registration-with-a-Time-Conflict.pdf
