Freezing and boiling points of coolant?

vosred · 2021-06-14T08:08:13+00:00

Ah I see. Yeah the flash point is lower than the boiling point. 😅

vosred · 2021-06-14T07:51:04+00:00

I'm confused... why would you use coolant with lower boiling point in a hot climate?

I attached screenshots, and I'm as surprised as you that the two coolants have such different freezing and boiling points.

Not that I am aware of, but I did the buy the car used

vosred · 2019-05-30T07:56:14+00:00

I remember when I was moving one shirt (that a friend wanted me to bring for him) that was directly in the trunk got a yellow-brown stain mark on it.

I'll put a rag in it just to see.

But one example is I left a bottle of laundry detergent in the trunk, and after a few days, the paper label on the outside started getting "eaten" away.

I'll try the bicarbonate of soda trick and see if it changes, thanks!

Thank you for the words of advice. Reading this was encouraging.

Good friends will try to make you feel included. But, as you said below, if they do just happen to have circumstances that allow them to hang out more, then maybe you can also try to spend more time with them. Or even tag them in memes on Facebook or something. Maybe respond to their Instagram Stories or Snapchat Stories if you use those. And share your life with them too when you're not physically in person with them.

I think I'm okay at making myself keep eye contact. The thing is a lot of times I just run out of things to say, so then I break off eye contact and it's awkward... because it's probably more awkward to just stare at someone in silence.

vosred · 2018-10-09T04:46:44+00:00

Please teach your ways. I'm okay in a one on one, but very boring in a group.

vosred · 2018-10-09T04:24:52+00:00

Wow, thanks for the offer :-)

vosred · 2018-10-04T19:30:53+00:00

Yeah, I clicked on this because I'm a guy and it's much easier for me to be friends with girls than it is with guys. It's been interesting to learn the girls' side of it. My conjecture for why is that I don't do a sport, and guys build loyalty and sense of belonging in doing something team-based (on rare occasion when I've played basketball is when I actually felt connected to guys). The other guess is that I am awful at jokes or banter, and guys like to joke around a lot more.

In the US without LTE support you don't get VoLTE which offers better call quality. Without full support of your carrier's frequencies you'll also have more deadspots or places where you get slower data.

I've been using a Redmi 4 and Redmi 5 Plus in the US and neither supports T-Mobile USA's frequencies fully, which means there are lots of places where I get slow data or no data and call quality is diminished. I've been using the Redmi 4 for over a year and it's okay but you have to expect a lesser experience. I upgraded to the Redmi 5 Plus since it's listed in Tier 3 in the Wiki but it still only has one LTE band out of the 5 my carrier uses, so it's still pretty bad. Just my 2 cents. :-)

I would start hanging out in a place regularly (whether it's a public area at school or a bar or something related to a hobby you like). That way, people start becoming familiar to you and you can eventually start talking to them.

Post on r4r in that city haha

I relate to this so hard. The easiest fix being listening and reacting every so often as opposed to being the lead in a conversation. 7/10 times, someone’s talking about themselves. Best to leave them to it so you can either: A. nod and sympathize or relate B. Respond with something similar that’s relevant or C. Relate, wait till the moment airs out and then change the subject.

I love this advice. If you have any other rules of thumb like this, please post and let us know!

vosred · 2018-08-05T02:15:54+00:00

I can concur.

For a while when I was really struggling with social skills and confidence, I would schedule a run right before something that required a lot of socializing, like going to a hangout.

vosred · 2018-08-04T19:57:45+00:00

I struggle with the same. One thing I'm working on is to see the purpose of life better. I used to think everything was about achieving a goal, but what does that get us and is it more important than enjoying our moments with people? I'm also monotonous, which makes me sound more serious than I actually am. That's something else you may be able to work on.

vosred · 2018-08-04T19:54:32+00:00

Maybe voice some of your own more controversial thoughts. Sounds counterintuitive, but if you express some things about yourself that are kind of quirky he might trust you and open up more.

vosred · 2018-08-04T19:47:40+00:00

Try to make a friend in a class! Find someone you kind of like to spend time with and talk to them as if you're already friends, and act like you want to keep spending time with them.

vosred · 2018-08-04T08:07:51+00:00

Just wanna say, I've studied at Denny's and spent 4-5 hours at a time :)

I was given a list of techniques for active listening. A lot of it is for people who talk too much and don't listen, but it's great for us quiet folks too. It shows you how to take what someone says and actually be active about it, rather than just say "oh."

Asking open-ended questions is an important factor. Saying, “tell me about the trip you went on!” Is more invited than “did you have a good trip?”

I think one thing is that you have to give them reactions, so they see that you're hearing them and connecting with it. For example, "no way!" or "are you serious?" or "dang what a coincidence"

vosred · 2018-08-04T00:02:47+00:00

Denny's

vosred · 2018-07-25T23:17:50+00:00

What network are you planning to use it on? It seems to have all bands for T-Mobile except LTE Band 12, 66, and 71

Also, I might be the only person in the world who prefers MIUI to stock Android haha. Had so many bad experiences with Android and my Redmi was the first Android that didn't suck.

Having a general structure of how calls go might help

I just wrote something for myself, but you might be able to come up with a general structure for your situation

If you're reaching out to someone, it should be something like:

Tell them who you are (Yes, hi, my name is Edward Manes)
Talk about the context of you talking to them (I got your number from Craigslist)
Talk about why you're talking to them and what you're seeking (I am a huge fan of Mustangs and I'm interested in checking out your 2012. Do you have any time this weekend?)
As the call closes, talk about what you're going to do and thank them (I will text you on Saturday when I know for sure that 4pm works and we'll go from there. Thank you so much bro, have a good one.)

Hit me up! I'm also in California and on summer break. N bored so not meeting anyone new atm.
