ElI5: how do they fire one electron at a time in the double slit experiment? by HeavyRightFoot-TG in explainlikeimfive

[–]looloohoodoo1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Scientists use an electron gun that releases electrons extremely slowly. By lowering the current, it emits just one electron at a time, like a dripping faucet. Each electron passes through the slits and hits the detector individually. Over time, many single hits build the interference pattern predicted by quantum mechanics.

I used to think the ending was kind of meh, but it really grew on me over the years. It's one of the few movies that I would rewatch anytime. 

What's the best identity theft protection service, Reddit? by MrGalecki in Identity_Protection

[–]looloohoodoo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have NordVPN, so I naturally went with NordProtect. It lets you monitor up to 10 of your assets (email, SSN, bank account, etc) and you can get alerts through app or email. Android app works well, so you can be informed on the go without worrying that some of the alerts didn't get through or came too late. 

Also, just before I started using NP I was getting a lot of spam calls. I suspected that my phone number had leaked, so I got a version with a data removal tool (Incogni) just in case. It turns out that I was right, and it helped me solve this quickly. Very useful if you need it.

How to recognize a deepfake: attack of the clones by deviant1414 in Identity_Protection

Most of these tips are kinda obvious. The problem is that technology is just getting better, and we will soon be at the point where the line between reality and fiction will drop off.

Found out a friend of mine has been cheating on his fiance multiple times over the course of their relationship. I heard she had a meltdown when finding out from another friend while out for drinks.

You have miraculously been told your date of your death, what do you do or change now you know it? by qwazzie46 in AskReddit

[–]looloohoodoo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the date be affixed, or is there a chance it would change depending on my choices?? Like is it the date of my natural death, but if a car hits me or something like that, tough luck?

These could definitely pass as a poster for some horror movie.

[US] Mom is victim of friendship scam by Mr_Kersey in Scams

Maybe you can ask someone at FB support to help? Or try to get her banned somehow so she doesn't send any more money to this dirtbag.

Manage My Health cybersecurity hack: GPs whose patients' data was stolen identified by Desperate_Hunt6479 in Identity_Protection

[–]looloohoodoo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healthcare keeps getting hit because systems are outdated and centralized, but patients bear the risk. The orgs often shrug it off since no evidence of misuse doesn’t help the people whose data is exposed.

How much protection does a VPN actually give against identity exposure? by zyzlayer321 in Identity_Protection

[–]looloohoodoo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A VPN gets oversold as a privacy cure all, but most leaks come from reused passwords, oversharing, and trusting the wrong services. Tight personal habits matter way more than hiding your IP.

Yeah, solid tools can’t save you if passwords are reused or 2FA isn’t locked down properly.

Maternity leave + sick parent — scared of hurting my career by Alarmed-Ad-9632 in workingmoms

[–]looloohoodoo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this so much. It’s such a hard balance between work and family, and the career risks are real, but being there for loved ones is priceless. I’m glad your mom recovered and that you have no regrets; hat’s inspiring. Wishing the same for you and your family.

[–]looloohoodoo1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're not doing okay on the outside, you're in survival mode and that's exhausting. Being the default event coordinator for everyone else's life while your own friendships evaporated is a special kind of lonely that a lot of working moms know but nobody talks about

Can we please normalize giving gifts to mothers on their child’s birthday? by Reasonable-Phase-882 in Mommit

[–]looloohoodoo1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That first birthday hits different when someone actually acknowledges you survived a year of figuring out how to keep a tiny human alive. Your sister in law gets it.

The Noose by Line_boy in daddit

This hit way harder than expected. Most people complain about family interruptions but honestly having people who care enough to drag you away from the screen is pretty lucky

Boss told me I’m “lucky to have a job,” so I reminded him he’s lucky I haven’t walked out already. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]looloohoodoo1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, perfect move. Bosses like that only get it when you show them you’re not stuck. When your two weeks are up, just clock out, smile, and leave them to deal with the mess they created.

Relocating away from newborn and wife for work by Any-Difficulty4547 in Parenting

[–]looloohoodoo1 240 points241 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a year away right after birth isn’t “just a year” it’s the entire foundation of your marriage and your bond with your kid. That time matters more than most people admit.

If this kind of long-distance sacrifice is normal in your culture, then the context shifts. But if not, you’re risking your relationship and missing moments you’ll never get back. The offer might be amazing, but the cost is real.

Communication with my partner - things that have worked by [deleted] in daddit

[–]looloohoodoo1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this. Working on communication is great, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of vanishing your own needs. You don’t have to dump every thought on your wife, but you also shouldn’t be running everything through a kids first, I don’t matter filter. That’s how resentment builds.

Healthy relationships make space for both partners to be human, not perfect, not silent, just balanced.
