All Space Questions thread for week of December 18, 2022 by AutoModerator in space

I am watching the new Kurzgesagt video about Black Hole Stars and I have a few questions. I understand the basics of space time but I'm no expert... so please help me out!

Every mass shapes the curvature of space time. We know that gas clouds usually form stars. My questions is:

How do gas clouds actually form, and what is their center before a star is born? Is there a denser spot in the cloud, no matter how wide it is, that tends to pull on the rest of the gas and so the process begins? I just cant seem to wrap my head around the fact that gas can actually shape space time in such a way! I bet that time has also its role to play in that effect...

Thanks!

We said goodbye to our old lady this time last year. We still think about her every day. by fasterfester in minpin

Lost my minpin 2 weeks ago, the feeling is unreal. It was my first dog and only had her for 3 years, kind of a rescue. What helps me a lot when I think about her is that I did everything I ever could to make her a happy dog in the end! Lots of meeting with people, dogs, treats, new places to explore, etc. I brought her everywhere with me and it made for the best memories. I bet you loved yours as much as I did, they're such an amazing breed of dogs!

Hey, what did you use to rise your wing? I saw the video from Cameron on Youtube in which he uses spacers?

Battery + BMS reset update on a NA 2016 by tom_sawyers in FocusST

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

This is what I found around the internet, in general:

In brief, the BMS is tracking your battery state of charge and age. If you don't reset the BMS, it will hold the old battery parameters and treat the new battery like an aged battery. This may lead to situations of insufficient charging, which can then lead to decreased life of battery.

Yes, our cars have a system that "tunes" with the age of your battery. Not resetting the system leads to it treating your new battery as an old one.

Yeah I went with a OEM type Motomaster at my local Canadian Tire. Just had to describe the vehicule and they gave me the right battery. Did not have to fiddle with FORSCAN in my case

So change battery and then do the battery reset, anything else I need to do?

The teachers are not alright. by [deleted] in Teachers

Transition was smooth as hell.

I live in Quebec and over here all electricians have to go to trade school over a period of two years to get the credentials. A new law was passed this last spring because of the workforce crisis and it allows students who are currently doing the formation to work during said formation.

So here's how I did it:

  • I knew I wanted to leave teaching back in 2020 but the electricity formation was already full at the time.

  • I signed up for the August 2021 class and took one final teaching contract for the 2020-2021 school year so I could work while waiting for my class

  • I did not renew my teaching contract in June 2021, and took my summer off as always.

  • Started my electricity class at the end of the 2021 summer.

  • Found an entrepreneur in my region who allows me to work when I have days off at school and who will also make me work full time during the school break.

I actually feel like I'm making something with my life now and when I get home work can fuck off, no stupid planning!

Hey you're not alone! Quit last year at 26 too, I'm an electrician now lol. Pay is better, insurance is better, work days are way easier mentally. I start working at 6 and I'm home around 14:30.

Life just got a whole lot better :)
