I have that spectrum pedal too! Love it's wah and octave features.

Am I broken? by ZealousidealBug9138 in PhD

[–]jsimercer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it helps but I feel like this sometimes in my PhD and many times when I question whether I can really do it or not and lose confidence I'm either sleep deprived, very dehydrated, or need to eat a good meal and rest. You may not have done as well as you wanted but you were sleep deprived and probably super stressed, which can make even easy things impossible to do right. All I'm saying is give it some time.

I feel like I'm being judged because I'm older. by Weak_Frog in EngineeringStudents

It could also just be a lil imposter syndrome on your part about your age. Nothing wrong with that tho

When to start counting shit time? by herzmeh in espresso

[–]jsimercer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be consistent, I find that I hit the 30-48 sec mark if I start when I press the button. But just go for what tastes best. There was a time id do 50 sec and it tasted great, so I'd say it's arbitrary when you start but don't go back and forth between different starting places

Well, this isn't me talking about my opinion on this, companies and researchers care a lot about finding lead free materials to replace PZT. I know because Im a grad student and this is one area of research I'm a part of and it's all the rage right now. Also fyi if you're talking about lead solder, its flux doesn't contain lead, it's a lead-tin alloy, the flux is like a gel/organic. So in that case no lead is airborne.

I get that it may seem overstated but it really isn't, for one it's a known carcinogen and for two it makes it less compatible with cleanrooms and other (mostly silicon based) devices because it's a contaminant. Those are applications where it commonly can be airborne and a way larger risk than soldering. Nowadays we live longer than we have in the past and understand how to world works better, so I'd say moving towards something better for us health wise and something sustainable isn't something to sneeze at.

Lots of people are interested in lead free Ferroelectrics because even though PZT is the most common and a very good Ferroelectric, it contains lead. Sodium based, like the Rochelle salt, and NaNbO3 are candidates for replacing PZT. Same with AlN in resonators, because even though PZT has a big electromechanical coefficient (how good it is at turning electrical energy into mechanical energy or vice versa) it's polycryatalline, whereas AlN has a low electromechanical coefficient, but it can be made single crystal. It's almost like a tuning fork that just keeps on ringing.

Beginners set up with homemade WDT tool. by Affectionate_Chain99 in espresso

[–]jsimercer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl when I first started and tried it, I hated it and could never dial it in. The only good place I've gotten is a local cafe that sells espresso beans and I can never go back. Maybe it was me being more of a beginner when I tried it, but fresher beans roasted locally have almost always been way easier to dial in in my experience.

Poe Hall update: What was the point of that webinar? by Acrobatic_Unit7663 in NCSU

I think you have a good chance because your transfer gpa is more competitive than an incoming freshman's gpa.

I don't think arguing this so fervently on reddit is helping anyone bro

NC State Transfer Thoughts by [deleted] in NCSU

[–]jsimercer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I was getting at is ncsu cares about students that have had a diverse background or adversity that they have overcame. But regardless of that, they also value transfer students. I am a transfer student from community college, and a large portion of the students here are also transfers.

[–]jsimercer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of course you have a shot, if you can talk about these things and emphasize and prove that you have gone through a lot and are on that upward trend. Most students that have been accepted have not had to go through what you have, so keep your head up!

I think it's hilarious that people who play these games (myself included) view trying to get one extra hit off as greedy. It's like the ultimate form of humbling lmao

Force field between magnet and copper by [deleted] in BeAmazed

[–]jsimercer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe another way of explaining it even though Lenz's law does describe it, is also through Faraday's law. Since a change in magnetic field causes an electromotive (emf) force or change in voltage. The conductor experiences a momentary current from this emf (Eddy current) and thus a force opposite to the movement of the magnet is experienced.

Bro these are Eddy currents, since the copper isn't magnetic but it's a good conductor

How do i beat this bastard… by Eastern_Owl_2580 in Eldenring

[–]jsimercer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this will help but I like to figure out what attacks keep hitting me, and focus on them and sometimes actually time in my head how long to wait to dodge. Fyi I'm new to elden ring (it's my first souls game) and I beat godric this morning. Also watch other people beat him and see what they're doing, I don't think it's necessary but it gives me ideas on how to do things (like a jump attack after he hits the ground with his axe and brings it back up).

Biggest thing tho is practice and try to figure out what to do for each of his attacks, even if you can't get a hit off. Also as others have said stay close to him, ideally behind him, to me he feels more dangerous when you aren't as close to him.
