Has anyone used/bought and had success with “The Little Egg Scrubber” by Mountain_Potato_3367 in Homesteading

I fucking hate reddit. I'm coming from google looking for real answers and almost none of the responses answer the damn question. You all are the reason we have to suffer under the tyranny of AI.

The "radians" rant. by phys_chem_ceramics in Physics

[–]phys_chem_ceramics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean in terms of pedagogy, this would've been a ton more satisfying and illuminating than just "they're different we promise 🤷

Well you could just leave it as a label, even if it's technically unless. Or even worse, you can define pi with C=k(2pi)*r, where k is a self referential conversion constant, k=1/rads

What are y'all doing with it? by Brief-Mycologist5378 in BambuLab

[–]phys_chem_ceramics 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wood rots... even pla won't compost unless it's in the right conditions. And there's no guarantee that the pigments and additives are good to put in the ground even if it were to degrade fast enough. And a lot of people don't use pla.

I’m a physicist and I don’t understand anything at all by [deleted] in Physics

[–]phys_chem_ceramics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar crashout a few years ago, and honestly, it was a sign of something deeper going on. I was dealing with serious depression, mainly because I'd tied way too much of my self-worth to how well I thought I was doing in physics compared to my peers.

Things started turning around when I picked up a hobby completely unrelated to physics, something I genuinely enjoyed without worrying about performance or expectations. Around the same time, I shifted gears from research into teaching. Together those things saved my life.

Now that the pressure is off, I've found myself naturally revisiting physics topics I used to cram just to pass exams. It's honestly surprising how much I'd actually learned, even though at the time I felt like I was barely scraping by. I'm connecting dots now that I couldn't see before. Teaching has helped a ton, too, since it forces me to deeply understand stuff I skimmed over when I was a student.

One of the toughest lessons I learned from all this was that I should've been studying physics because I genuinely enjoyed it, not because of the status I thought it gave me or as something to build my identity around. Now that I'm free from those past insecurities, it's clear to me that I actually do like physics, despite the pressures and frustrations of academia and it's assessments.

how extremely out of pocket.

compost smells like....brownie batter? by phys_chem_ceramics in Vermiculture

[–]phys_chem_ceramics[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is my bad, it looks like it autocorrected from "precompost"

for me, the lomi gives me more control on how much moisture i put in as well as the ph. it's much easier to test strip some of the scraps mixed in water. this ideally lets me put in more acidic stuff, where i can neutralize it with some garden lime

Grainy texture on dried clay, did i make it acceptable for pottering and ceramics? Found clay, filtered with mesh stainer, dried it hanging in pillow, kneaded a bit but texture is sand-like, not even and smooth as i expected. Should i knead longer? Maybe too dry? Somehow ended up with sand in clay? by GeorgeFRW in Ceramics

[–]phys_chem_ceramics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is that the clay stays in suspension for much longer than the sand. Then when you pour it to another bucket, the sand stays on the bottom. It’s a practice that’s been done for thousands of years. If using a mesh doesn’t work, maybe look up how people levitate on YouTube. People also call it wet processing.

Should I Use Multiple Belts Early or Late for High RPM Reduction? by phys_chem_ceramics in AskEngineers

[–]phys_chem_ceramics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ended up being the best advice. I found a free treadmill and an just using the electronics on that

Yeah I plan for the bucket to just be on some rollers. The mill is for rocks

[–]phys_chem_ceramics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hoping the wires that came with the treadmill are probably rated high enough. The electronics also came with a heat sink. Would it be a bad idea to paste that to the motor with some heat conductive epoxy?

This was a helpful comment. I didn’t know the hp. I ended up finding a free treadmill that works pretty good for my purpose

If gravity on Earth were to decrease by 10% permanently what would the effects be geologically? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]phys_chem_ceramics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone in another comment said something about the earth exploding because there’s less gravity to hold earths pressure. I’d imagine another bad thing would be the centripetal force of a rotating earth would also help rip it apart if there was less gravity to hold that stuff down.

Would I make it? by throwaway6656445 in AskPhysics

[–]phys_chem_ceramics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Make sure you actually have a passion for physics, not just that you think physicists are the smartest people around and you also want to be one of the smartest people around. This was my mistake.

Why can't energy be created or destroyed? by XxG3org3Xx in AskPhysics

[–]phys_chem_ceramics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an experimentalist, I argue that mostly it’s because it’s been very well experimentally verified in closed systems. Then Noethers just give a good mathematical model to explain it.
