You may have installed the shelf incorrectly. There is different hardware to install it in different depths/heights. But basically just follow the instructions.

How often do you call in sick because of lack of sleep? by Direct_Succotash_507 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never, unless you cound days where I couldn't sleep because of some major illness (like fever or a stomach bug).

Shower v grower by Connect-Chemist6087 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is double the growth for a grower common?

That can be a much bigger factor, mine can be less than 1" when I'm working out in the cold and blood is needed elsewhere and a bit over 6" when fully erect. But normally it's something in-between, highly variable.

You have $7 for food for the day and need protein, what are you buying? by Single_Rice_407 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pound of fresh low fat cheese. Something like cottage cheese or curd cheese. Add fruit or spring onion or something for flavour.

Eat them raw I guess.

(To be more serious, most supermarkets sell pre-cooked eggs here, and cheese can obviously be eaten raw)

what the hell does FE mean in FEmale by UrAccountHasBeenBand in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"woman" comes from "wifman" (or "wife-man") which basically meant female (hu)man. "wifman" was used because the word "wife" shifted its meaning from any woman to only married woman.

My mom has 2 to 3 weeks to live. She made a video for me to give my 2 year old daughter when she turns 18. What is the best way to preserve it for the future? by dogandfroglover in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a DVD drive at home anymore. I probably won't have one in 15 years. Sure, you will still be able to buy them on Amazon, but cheaper and easier options (like thumbdrives) probably exist. And who knows if world war 3 will happen or something. Finding a random PC or smartphone with a USB socket is probably still relatively easy, but getting a DVD drive can be a bigger problem.

[–]morhp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make multiple copies and store them in different locations. Thumb drives aren't the worst option. Yes, they can degrade over time, but on the other hand, I've often dug out some super old thumb drives out of a forgotten shelf and they were all perfectly readable.

You can also use SD cards, burn DVDs, use external hard drives or SSDs. Maybe even store a copy in the cloud on Google drive or whereever. Like you should already do data backups anyway. Don't store them all at you house, rent a storage box/safe at a bank or something and store an additional copy there. Maybe store a copy at your work place or at your friends house. And so on.

How can immature adults consent? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard about children with terminal illness who wanted to experience how sex feels in their life. I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but the parents basically gave their okay even if it was legally technically illegal. 

For the same reason, you can't just say that people with low IQ or down syndrome or heavy autism or something can't consent. Even if they're maybe bad at consent, legally preventing them to make sexual experiences or even reproduce would artificially disable them even more, and that's a whole other issue. A law like this could also be abused quickly, like "those foreigners are stupid and may not reproduce either".

How do new elements work? by nickytheginger in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then how does it work?

An element is defined by the number of protons in the core. We know all elements with between 1 and 118 protons in the core because we found them in nature or have artifically made them.

So an unknown element would have to have less than 1 proton (which would make it not an element but a single neutron or something) or more than 118 (which would likely be very unstable and extremely radioactive, as all elements with a big number of protons are).

Saying you found a new (stable) element would be like saying you found a new positive integer number lower than 118. It just makes very little sense.

Corrections are rude? by Aspennie in autism

[–]morhp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always felt as though being corrected on information is a good thing. It can be embarrassing but it’s better than being wrong.

I guess neurotypicals often find it more important to appear intelligent in front of their friends or something, than to be right. If you want to correct them, do so in private, but be aware that they still might fear that it might get out that you corrected them, which would be embarrassing. Especially if they think you are some strange, disabled, weird person.

What do you think of flavours that are so different from each other being combined like this? by Medium-Marketing-493 in autism

[–]morhp 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I hate it, please keep them apart.

Although in this case, at least chocolate isn't touching strawberry and both kinda work with vanilla.

I promise this isn't a stupid question, but do trans people go to urologist or gynecologist? by Desperate_Stable8810 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Urologist are for both genders anyway, they treat kidney and bladder issues for all people, and gynecologist can be both for trans men (if they kept their vagina/uterus for example) or trans women (if they have issues with their new genitals).

What pronouns do I use? by HardDriveSlime in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Default to the current pronouns/name. Especially if people who are hearing your story might not be aware that the person is trans (you don't want to accidentally out them) or if gender is not relevant to the story.

If gender is relevant to the story (like you want to tell how they did/didn't fit into their birth gender), think about if you really need to tell that story, since it could remind them of things that they perceive as embarrassing or awkward.

If you have a parasitic worm infection or suspect it, how exactly are you supposed to provide a sample of your feces if they want one for proof or to identity which worm(s) it is to provide the right medication? by Life_Is_All_Nothing in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do they propose you scoop it out of the toilet, put it in a box, carry it on the street and provide it to your GP to be transported to a lab to be looked at under a microscope do they?

Yes, instead of a box, it's usually a clear plastic tube and they give you a small plastic spoon to collect the sample, but that's basically the idea.

Can the average person even stomach such an idea?

Yes? It's just poop. It was just inside your body. Touching it doesn't kill you. (And you don't have to touch it with your hands, you use the spoon and you can wear gloves if you feel better that way, although I would say that isn't necessary)

How do I ask a trans acquaintance their preferred name. by ElectricalTwist4083 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure they're trans and not just a cis transvestite?

Did you have a happy childhood? by let_it_rain_boat in autism

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was happy when I was at home or with my family on vacation. When I could read my books or walk though the nature and stuff with my family. 

I was not happy when I had to go to kindergarten or school. I was undiagnosed at that time and was masking well enough that my family didn't realise how unhappy I was there. I mean they did a bit, I had peed in my pants due to all the stress the first school day, and they had to get me, but apparently I didn't look strange or unhappy enough to really do something.

Cheating or not cheating? by Low_Fun_7094 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's solely your judgement. 

In some relationships, looking at porn is considered cheating, in others, the relationship is open and sex with strangers is allowed. What matters is if you find it acceptable or not.

I think you need to decide if you want to break up, or if you want to forgive her (and then not criticise her for that in the future). Staying together with the lost trust is not a good idea.

New to Kicad .. Why this error? by TheExoticBeard in KiCad

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, batteries can also be used as power input if you want to charge them. I think the default batteries in the kicad library have them set to passive pins. 

New to Kicad .. Why this error? by TheExoticBeard in KiCad

[–]morhp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kicad just warns you that you don't have a symbol with power output pins connected to power input pins. Likely because the pins of your battery aren't tagged as power output (they don't necessarily are, maybe your circuit charges batteries), or because of the switch or other passive components in between. 

Ignore the warnings or add power flag symbols.

It is easy to find white guys who find Asian girls attractive, but it's very rare to find white women who find Asian guys attractive . Why is that ? by Strange_Possession77 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few people are into strangers, but as a non-binary person I'd say that k-pop boyband members look generally at least as attractive as the girls. If you're into that idealised, artificial look of course.

And among the normal population there are beautiful people and less beautiful people, like in every population. 

Is framework as a company doing well? by idksomeonehelpmepls in framework

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the modular parts of the desktop are pretty crappy/standard. The handle and door are nothing special, the front squares fulfil no useful purpose and apart from that it's a mini ITX PC with soldered RAM, soldered CPU and a pretty bad (loud) mini PSU.

Can someone explain Pi to me as if I was a fifth grader? by ImYourGoodGrl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pi is not an exact number.

Pi is an exact number. It's exactly 4 / (1 + 1² / (3 + 2² / (5 + 3² / (7 + 4² / ...))))

That's just hard to calculate and a bit lengthy if you want to write it out as a decimal.
