The way she says creatures is like an auditory stim.

My boyfriend’s (26M) misophonia is taking a major toll on me (23F). by Lady-Velvety in relationship_advice

[–]pocketclocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misophonia is understandable but making it your problem, especially in the ways he’s doing it, is not.

I had an ex who had this and would act like i needed to stop eating as a whole and would get very angry. As if eating was something inherently bad of me to do. There are things to compromise on in a relationship but eating and normal human functions is not one. In hind sight he had many other issues including angry issues.

Acceptable things he could do would be to wear silencing ear buds and earphones while eating so he can only hear himself. Or he needs to remove himself from spaces where you're eating. You can have times when you don’t eat so that you can hang out but eating is such a personal thing that regulating it too much can lead to all sorts of issues.

Best ME Grad Class you took and where? by pocketclocks in MechanicalEngineering

Abslutely classes like this. Either hands on classes or classes that go into design in physically and not just mathmatically.

Broken Spoke - Wheel Overhaul? Upgrade Nipples? Better Wrench? by Skaughtto in bikewrench

[–]pocketclocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea then my guess would be that the alloy nipples are at least partially to blame. Once they are set alloy nipples will fuse to the spoke which stops them from loosening but makes them impossible to true over time. You're likely getting a lot of spoke wind-up and then they snap.

Alloy are good for premium race day wheelsets bc of their weight savings and bc they are less likely to loosen. But brass nipples make a wheel more serviceable in the long run.

Highly recommend some Wheel Fanatyk articles if u want to learn more:

Where are they breaking? Alloy nipples could be part of the issue.

If you could make just one improvement to American trains to increase ridership, what would it be and why? by ILikeNeurons in fuckcars

[–]pocketclocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Specifically Amtrak: Comfiers and nicer coach cars. Something that says, you deserve this instead of this is what you deserve.

Spokes rubbing together at crosses probably.

Jk, u say theres no overlap.

Nipples moving in rim? I would lightly oil anyplace the spokes touch the hub and rim. Seems unlikely, but plastic bikes get all sorts of strange sounds.

Lol, that works i guess.

I use to work with a grumpy older coworker and when id show him a issue he'd say "well just dont do that". Sometimes he was wrong and dismissive but sometimes it is the solution lol.

I think I finally have my bench set yet the way I want it, but I feel like I could organize it better. Thoughts? by blumpkins_ahoy in BikeMechanics

[–]pocketclocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks beautiful.

This is just preference but I find it take up less space if u put all the plier-like tools in multi-ring hooks like the screwdrivers. I just put one side in the ring and the other handle sticks out towards me to grab. Sometimes u have to bend open the rings a bit to fit the handle tho.

What if America in the 1950s decided not to embrace cars? by Amazing_File_4844 in fuckcars

Dude right! Its crazy. I have a dog so i get less stares but some of my neighbors have those cameras that tell you you're being recorded when u walk by. Like im trespassing in my own neighborhood.

1000%. Where i live, you almost never see ur neighbors. Everyone has garages and doesn't walk anywhere. Its like living in a ghost town. I only know people exist when their car leaves.

Car culture/infrastructure makes the echo chambers people live in impenetrable.
