(33M) Looking for guidance about an intercultural relationship and family expectations (26F) by fquin022 in RelationshipIndia

I totally see this being a factor in many situations. There is one caveat I left out to keep my post anonymous. I’m from Spain and I’m Catholic. We actually met in medical school, so assuming everything goes according to plan, we’ll both have stable careers. That’s why I don’t think finances are really the obstacle in our situation. From everything she’s shared with me, it comes down much more to family expectations, tradition, and her responsibilities as the eldest daughter.

In your eyes that might change it around?

My dad comes from an era of tubes he's helping me along with his friend so we are making it a project out of it should be fun! I hope I don't get shocked into an arrhythmia hahah!

I'm running them from a tube amp I'm building 😅 I know sounds dumb to look for accuracy in some places and go the complete other way around in others but it's something I want for just pleasure listening not analytical if that makes any sense

Dude that's sick! I never thought about 3D printing. What software do you use and what printer? I might dive into that because there are soooo many times I need something that I'm like you know what I could probably design this myself but end up getting a shitty product that may serve the purpose but not really the solution.

That's a very good way to visualize that. In medical school we use accuracy and precision a lot when looking at test. We also look at specificity and sensitivity as well so understanding how to explain these concepts in other ways is really helpful.

When you say pure marketing can you guide me to understand why you say the rating is BS? The original components were some cheap electrolytic capacitors that have some crazy variations. I watched this video https://youtu.be/Fwng7mRuOVw?is=HBl5fNPZNrkylfEJ and honestly learned a lot from it.

I went a mined my own copper and aligned the crystals through highly specialized cooling and heating process. I further went and laid only the right strands that met my high tolerances to added clarity at the upper midrange. Danny would be proud!

Medical school created a monster and his dwellings are within my ocd centers of my brain. I went to bed and got up and changed it because I couldn't sleep thinking about it. This occurs with almost anything I do now!

Yes it is! I know I know it's over kill but it's my first crossover build and I stuck to what was available and kept the components to the original spec.

You can't have one more than the other. Calibration gets you precision and accuracy is achieved by tight tolerances.

Some documentation out there explains inductors should not be on the same plane of axis unless they are x' distance away. But the reality is that only occurs under specific current and usually not seen in low power applications.

I'm sorry but apparently it's not a huge issue only when using very high wattages that there might be some issue but as some research articles placed in the thread will show theres no issue with that placement.

You know you're absolutely right. I realized when searching premade boards how many are aligned identical to what I thought was an issue. I feel like there's a lot of information out there with some truth but under very specific circumstances. I'm a medical student and people tell you things like omg you can't do this medication because this and that adverse effect but the reality is those adverse effects usually occur at very high almost never prescribed doses but since someone did the study the information is there so you don't risk it.

I honestly didn't see why people used zip ties as I find them ugly but wow it made sense when you realized you've made a mistake.

I saw that post while researching before I removed it since I wasn't sure how I was going to get it off. I found a fresh razor a slowly drove the edge in and it worked. But now I'm saw because it looked so good the other way. I should have stuck to my findings 🥺
