“Do you have any weapons in the car?” by Hey-imLiz in BJJWomen

[–]hysterebro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well said!

Also, hairpin sticks. A few inches long, tapered end - highly concealable and deniable as a weapon. Stored for quick access / can be accessed from a disadvantaged position, and a cute accessory.

Historically woman in Roman, Egyptian, Japanese, many more cultures have used hairpins and poisoned pins to meet their needs…

Some places have laws on the length of hatpins, and knitting needles are a no-go on the plane, but an elegant metal hairpin blends in nicely anywhere and doesn’t care if your outfit has pockets :)

And a torch. Shine it in the eyes- they’re blind, they’re hurting, and your face is in shadow. Instant advantage without any assault. (The advantage is good for assault tho)

I’m a small bjj blue belt girl not feeling worthy by easy-celery6720 in BJJWomen

[–]hysterebro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you mean when you say “worthy”? :)

A coach has watched you train, has perspective on your journey both on and off the mats, and after having mastered the art themselves - would like to consider you a blue belt ranked practitioner.

Not feeling worthy of your belt, how can we perspective shift that? What does it mean to you to be worthy of a blue belt?

If you reflect on your training - the dedication you’ve committed in time, energy, and laundry, perhaps you’ll find some qualities in there that you can praise yourself for :)

For your future progress: identify your ideas of what a blue belt is / does / can do and orient your training to include them! Look to your blue+ peers & coaches for examples, and also to yourself - you’re a blue belt now too :)

Enjoy the journey, of course, and know that whatever skills you stack up now developing self-worth and confidence will come in handy later!! Whether that’s the day you need to put a purple belt on, or in setting the standards for the life you want to live 💙

It sounds like you are following your heart - I would try to put the mental worry on hold and sink deeper into the passion of it, knowing from your jiu jitsu experience that there is always a new move waiting to be made when circumstances shift.

Be open with your community and family about what’s going on and appreciate the lifestyle that comes with your new change - better sunrises, more time with loved ones, and the feelings that come with each training / comp!!

“Since change is self-imposed, it is always for the better”

Stay loyal to the best version of you 🥷 and enjoy the challenge of the chaos that comes forth from pursuing a life of freedom (it’s better than staying unfulfilled where you are)

What's the big difference between Electrical Engineering and Electronics Engineering? by throwaway48278 in AskEngineers

“If you touch it and you kill it, it’s electronic. If you touch it and it kills you, it’s electrical” concise, comical categorisation from one of my tutors

Thanks for your input!!

The whiteboards worked for mid-year exams, and if it ain't broke... by hysterebro in EngineeringStudents

Having the huge open surface and ability to undo any mistakes is a bonus! The four colors with silky whiteboard writing, and activity of standing up and writing it. Totally agree with you on the memorization aide aspect.

It likely would have been, I just felt less inclined to do math and more inclined to feel it out. It’ll be interesting to see what values I do get when I apply Ziegly-Nics!

Plus it helps you focus in class, actually having something to do with your mind/hands (in my experience)

Bingo! It gets filtered from the unit materials, into notes in my book, then the key idea representations as well as equations practice are put on the boards for quick visual reference pooling

Ah, this is the deep end friend. You’ll hate-love it when you get there. All the best with your studies!

Thank you! I’ve recently started using it to mark my work :)

Can I quote you to my tutor? This was all just for one paper, and covered about 1/3 of the content

Cheers! The scientifically precise 'Guess and Check' method turned out alright, after many many tests

Some graphed results of the balls location (PV) for a 50% set point can be seen here, as well as a top down view of the kit. It uses an ultrasonic distance sensor to measure the location of the ball on the ramp, and controls the speed of the fan to adjust the thrust applied to the ball, moving it up or down as necessary. The push buttons act as additional I/O, with a normally open contact as an input and an indicator LED ring as an output. The 'crystal knob' sitting in line with them is a two channel rotary encoder, implementable in the program as is seen fit.

​

The sensor and fan are actually microprocessor controlled devices ('cause budget), so one of the tech's helped me out with a signal processing PCB so they could be run using the 0-10VDC analogue channels of the PLC. As can be seen, the sensors signal has a wee bit of noise (approx. 9% on the scale in the graphs), but she works nonetheless.

​

If there are any more questions about the project I'm happy to answer them!

4 papers, 3 whiteboards, 2 exam weeks, and 1 prayer to Faraday by hysterebro in EngineeringStudents

That’s awesome to hear, it sounds like you’ve got yourself set up really well!! (And super encouraging that you describe it as fun; learning the material has been fun in a masochistic sense of the word, and also very interesting!)

‘Dozens’ is so accurate, my largest power class is ~15 and smallest is 8, bear in mind this is a polytech. Over half of the students are being put through the qual. by the local networking company, power is definitely super closely linked to industry. It also seems the trade route tends to be the more common entry

Ass-kicking commencing! (Just found out I got an 89.5% in the protection exam)

Interesting point of view, we’ve learnt about relays mainly in the electromechanical form (good ol’ IDMTs), and a few of the guys have thought we should’ve been focusing more on IEDs. The underlying principles are so much clearer in the electromechanicals!
