Human: How do restaurants make curry paste at scale? I love the mortar and pestle at home, but I imagine that's not how places that go through the stuff are processing their lemongrass and galangal... Any veterans of a SE Asian joints, what tools did you guys use to combine all the ingredients? Assistant: We buy curry paste like the rest if you, just in bigger jugs like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000EICJWA/ref=ox_sc_act_image_8?smid=A1H8RJ7W4NJR9O&psc=1 Also in bulk.

I love the mortar and pestle at home, but I imagine that's not how places that go through the stuff are processing their lemongrass and galangal... Any veterans of a SE Asian joints, what tools did you guys use to combine all the ingredients? Assistant: I'm a professional cook with a SE Asian girlfriend: typically a food processor. I hadn't heard of the brick idea before, but I'm definitely stealing that, although I do use my cai dao fairly often for the same purpose. Specifically for galangal though, I would use crushed but still intact slices, because even if you robotcoup it, the pieces are still pretty woody.	0.44404
Human: Neighbor wants to buy a small piece of my property using a quitclaim deed so he can sell his house. I'm in the state of Georgia and my next door neighbor built a house for his daughter and her family behind his property. They put in a shared driveway directly between our houses for them to use. I have my own gravel driveway next to theirs. They have the home for sale, but they need 80 feet of roadside property to sell their home, and all they have is the few feet of driveway at the road (I was told their current deed doesn't match what's on county records, though I'm not exactly sure why). They are asking me to sign a quitclaim deed that would transfer 80 feet of my roadside property to them, which would include about a 20 foot length of my driveway at the road. They said the attorney would include wording that would give me and anyone who I ever sell my home to permanent access to/through the end of the driveway and I couldn't be blocked off. In return he would pay to have my driveway paved. I am lost on what to do here. I'm not sure of what risks, if any, this could bring me in the future, or how legal it will really be. Could this put me in hot water down the line? Could future owners potentially block off the part of my driveway they own, even with the wording in the quitclaim? Would it effect the sale of my home when I decide to sell? I'm not obligated to do anything, but I sure would like my driveway paved. I hope I'm in the right subreddit for this type of advice. Any given would be greatly appreciated. Assistant: NO. Do not redraw plots. Not your problem. This will be a ton of legal fees for you, and if it's screwed up it could block you from selling your house.

Human: What's the big difference between Electrical Engineering and Electronics Engineering? Assistant: “If you touch it and you kill it, it’s electronic. If you touch it and it kills you, it’s electrical” concise, comical categorisation from one of my tutors	Human: What's the big difference between Electrical Engineering and Electronics Engineering? Assistant: Electrical deals with the distribution of electricity, think transmission line, substation, MV swithgear, generators etc Electronics deals on appliances, consumer goods, control systems, things like audio systems, PLC, computer stuffs.	0.769888
Human: Explain like I'm five years old: Why does the air in the vehicle shudder when only one window is down while driving high speeds? Assistant: When two windows are open, air moving in displaces air that was already there by sending it out the other window. With one open, air gets forced in, but there's no room for it at the current atmosphere, so it temporarily increases pressure in the cabin, before the pressure equalizes by forcing out an equivalent amount of air through the opening.	Human: Explain like I'm five years old: Why does the air in the vehicle shudder when only one window is down while driving high speeds? Assistant: It's turbulence. You get the same effect on airplanes when someone has left one of the windows down a little bit.	0.209907
Human: How to make buttercream properly? I tried making buttercream the first time and while whipping the butter it turned all gritty instead of smooth texture. I did bring the butter at room temperature but maybe it was still a little cold from outside for putting the butter again in fridge for a couple minutes. What did I do wrong and how can I improve it? Assistant: What kind of sugar did you use? Sounds like it was probably granulated so the crystals are quite large and hard to properly combine. You need to use Icing (confectioners?) sugar really. Or make Swiss Meringue Buttercream with Caster sugar (maybe granulated would work here??), it's so much better! :)	Human: How to make buttercream properly?

Assistant: In one of your comments you seem to suggest that you're using a whisk and not a motorized beater or mixer. This is likely your issue with the texture. It's gonna be hard to get it right if you're just doing it manually.	0.699926
Human: Should I abandon EE school to become an electrician? Hello everyone I'm 22 years old and right before covid I finished an associates degree in engineering from a local community college (already paid off) and started my work towards a bachelor's in Electrical Engineering. I have only recently done some thinking into if I should finish or not. My first semester at University was a complete bust. Online school (due to covid) wasn't for me and I ended up dropping out before the end of the semester, but still collecting that sweet sweet college debt. The university I go to is the only school which offers EE and is about a 45 minute drive from my house and also happens to be rather expensive. My first semester which I withdrew from cost me about $19k. It made me have a seriously uneasy feeling about my future in academia and if it is worth finishing. Now that classes are back in person I have some hope for myself that I could make it through but my current situation is making it hard to stick it through. I wait tables/bartend at a popular chain steakhouse and make really good money doing it but after working in food service for the past 6 years of my life it's starting to grind my gears more and more and want a change in my life as soon as possible so I looked into the possibility of electrician work. The only problem is I still want to be an engineer someday. Finishing school seems harder and harder each day for some reason and I dread failing again coming the fall semester. Being an electrician would offer me a lifestyle change and the ability to build a career in something I care about. However I also see the downsides to doing a pursuing being an electrician. - I'm only about 2.5 years away from my degree - The upper salary cap of an electrician is limited vs. EE - Trade work having a long-term effect on the body - Being relatively limited in fields to work in I feel like I'm at a serious crossroads and if anyone has done the path of electrician into EE or has gone through a similar situation I'd love any input. Thanks guys. Assistant: If you are a union electrician you don't make a salary, you are paid by the hour, which does top out based on status (JW, Master). With that said, if you are in the utility world, there is a LOT of time and a half and double time to be made. Where I live that's 1.5 after 8 hours and 2.0 after 10 hours. Sat is 1.5 for 1st 8, then 2.0 Sun is 2.0 all day. Many of the guys I work with are clearing North of $150k in the rust belt. To make $150k as an EE is not the norm and the hours may be equal - salary.	Human: Should I abandon EE school to become an electrician?

Thanks guys. Assistant: I am a retired EE. Got a MSEE mid career, I have NEVER regretted getting an engineering degree. But YMMV. IF you are good at math then go for it. EE is applied math, in general EE students do well in the math classes. Engineering is mindlessly boring, UNLESS you like it. Then it's the best job in the world. Don't do it for the money, do it because you like it.	0.831722
Human: How do you make oils thicker and have more impact when making chili oil? Good day, I'll start by saying that I consider myself to be a rookie cook and our household lacks any fancy ingredients most of the time. Anyway, I tried making chili oil for the first time in my life and it turned out ok but not something I can be satisfied with. The main problem being, the oil didn't retain much of the spiceyness of the cayenne peppers I used. It was mostly an aftertaste and back-of-the-throat hotness. What I want to know is, how do I make the oil's spice more concentrated (or thicker) and focused on the tongue instead of the throat? The ingredients I used were: * about 1/2 kilo of fresh Cayenne peppers (chopped up using a blender) * 3/4 of a whole garlic half minced and half cut into medum cuts * Rock Salt * around a tablespoon of black pepper * and 1 1/2 cups of vegetable oil (couldn't afford canola or olive oil) I heated the oil first till it started to smoke and poured it into the rest of the ingredients in another pan and kept stirring till it stopped bubbling Assistant: I make 5 gallon batches of chili oil for the Mongolian grill where I work. I start with safflower oil at room temperature and add mostly Thai birds eye chilis, then 25% as much red pepper flakes and Korean gochagaru (fine red pepper powder) which gives it a fantastic red color. Heat to around 180 then cool. Strain out the chilis and reserve them for another dish.	Human: How do you make oils thicker and have more impact when making chili oil?

You can't salt oil, in fact salt causes oil to degrade faster. Capsasin, the component of chillis that make them spicy, evaporates out. You should reduce the temperature. There is a moderate/low risk of botulism associated with storage of garlic infused oil. Low and slow.	0.723428
Human: AskScience AMA Series: We're from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and we research pumped-storage hydropower: an energy storage technology that moves water to and from an elevated reservoir to store and generate electricity. Ask Us Anything! We are Dhruv Bhatnagar, Research Engineer, Patrick Balducci, Economist, and Bo Saulsbury, Project Manager for Environmental Assessment and Engineering, and we're here to talk about pumped-storage hydropower. "Just-in-time" electricity service defines the U.S. power grid. That's thanks to energy storage which provides a buffer between electric loads and electric generators on the grid. This is even more important as variable renewable resources, like wind and solar power, become more dominant. The wind does not always blow and the sun does not always shine, but we're always using electricity. Pumped storage hydropower is an energy storage solution that offers efficiency, reliability, and resiliency benefits. Currently, over 40 facilities are sited in the U.S., with a capacity of nearly 22 GW. The technology is conceptually simple - pump water up to an elevated reservoir and generate electricity as water moves downhill - and very powerful. The largest pumped storage plant has a capacity of 3 GW, which is equivalent to 1,000 large wind turbines, 12 million solar panels, or the electricity used by 2.5 million homes! This is why the value proposition for pumped storage is greater than ever. We'll be back here at 1:00 PST (4 ET, 20 UT) to answer your questions. Ask us anything! Assistant: Let's say you get 1 GWHr from the grid to pump water uphill. How much energy would you be able to return to the grid when the same volume you pumped uphill comes through the turbines? What's the round trip efficiency?

Human: Tomatoes defy me! How can I bend them to my pasta-sauce will? I have no idea what it is; I can do aglio e olio, I've had great fun with cream sauces, but for some accursed reason every single time I put tomatoes in a saucepan with intent to create a flavorful pasta sauce, I get the exact opposite. Whole, crushed, diced... basil and oregano quit without supplying flavor, garlic forgets what it came here for in the first place, and the star of the show lends a watery "meh"ness to it all. Yesterday was my final straw; in an attempt to push the envelope and beat some flavor out of my archnemesis, I subjected it to the addition of gin, following precisely a promising recipe I found. The result... was a watery, slightly boozy, flavorless mess. I'm willing to bet I'm doing numerous things wrong, and that the tomato needs more respect than I'm giving it. Your tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated to help me overcome my adversary and finally plate up a respectable red sauce. Assistant: In addition to what has already been said a parmesan rind is game changer flavor wise. Tuck it into the middle of the sauce for a long slow cook. Remove before serving.

Human: Automotive engineers, is it safe to tilt a diesel engine upwards beyond 60 degrees? So I've seen semi trucks tilted back in many scenarios, but primarily in sawmills (usually for particle board or chips). My question is, is this healthy for the engine components, running or not? In theory, everything is pressurized by pumps and exhaust gases, but there might be something I'm missing as far as lubrication and oil? Assistant: I once flipped a lawnmower over 180 while it was running. That was the COOLEST and largest cloud of white smoke ever. Recommend turning off your Cummins before rolling a full 180.

Human: Help me develop a dairy/egg free sauce for burgers and fries? Maybe using mustard seeds? Hi guys! I'm opening up a burger stall soon, and I want to serve some homemade sauce. I already have one chilli sauce (people prefer that over ketchup here) but i think it needs just another sauce. Preferably its something that can keep for a long time, and isn't made with mayo, dairy, or eggs. I was thinking of maybe making my own mustard sauce from mustard seeds that i grind myself, but i can't seem to find a good recipe that's not for just grainy mustard. I'm also open to a herb sauce perhaps? Assistant: Make a tahini based sauce? Very flavourful! Something like tahini, lemon juice, garlic, a bit of olive oil. Maybe add a tad maple syrup or another sweetener.	Human: Help me develop a dairy/egg free sauce for burgers and fries? Maybe using mustard seeds? Hi guys!

Human: What tech tools/software for academia should exist but doesn't? For instance, I personally think Overleaf isn't the best tool for collaborative writing (in LaTeX) and that something more GitHub-like (with branches, pull requests, etc.) would be more suited for version control and collaboration. So I'm curious to know what other problems academics (especially in STEM fields) face that can be solved by tech. Assistant: I think Overleaf is fine the way it is, which is suitable for collaborating with people without CS background. It also has version history and can be integrated with Git for more advanced version control - you can set up a local repo, make commits and push changes to Overleaf. And if everyone working on the paper knows how to set up LaTeX and Git, then it's possible just to use GitHub.	Human: What tech tools/software for academia should exist but doesn't?

Human: Why don't they design ship propellers like high bypass jet turbines? Basic drawing here I will start by saying I have no experience in engineering or mechanical maths so this is probably way above what I can understand and might be a very stupid idea for an obvious reason but I'm interested in technology and curious about how things work so this is the best sub I could find to ask the question. I recently saw an article about a new ship propulsion system but couldn't help but think ship propellers haven't changed much at all for years except they can now spin to be more manoeuvrable. Seeing these got me thinking about how large planes now use high bypass turbofan engines and these came with huge fuel savings and increased thrust, so why hasn't ship propulsion gone in a similar direction? I understand water density is a lot higher than air so I get why the fan blades can't be small and delicate like in a jet engine and they have to be simple to reduce maintenance, it's not exactly easy to fix a part on the bottom of a huge ship, but jet engines are running for thousands of hours with very few issues either. Also, resistance is higher so maybe the design doesn't work and the extra water actually reduces the water flow instead of joining it but is there no way adding a cowling around the propeller can help generate more thrust in the same way as a bypass engine? I have added a VERY basic image of what I mean, still a similar propeller but adding a cowling around it to funnel more water into the exhaust. Does anyone think this could work? or explain why it doesn't in practice. Assistant: Not my particular area but cavitation is one of the biggest challenges in propellers, this occur in all fluids but water will demonstrate the greatest damage from it. This is just one of the major differences that come with different densities in fluids which can’t be overlooked between air planes/turbofans and propellers.

Human: Putting pasta in cold water, not when it's boiling? My friend makes pasta by putting the pasta in cold water, and then bringing the water to boil. I've always thought you put the pasta in when the water is boiling - is this something that some people do, or are they just strange? Personally, I find that the pasta is quite gummy when done like this. (I don't really know how to bring it up with them, though, as I did comment with surprise the first time I saw it and they acted like I was the strange one!) Assistant: It‘s a little easier to control cooking time when you bring it to the boil first. That‘s also why on the packaging they calculate cooking time with preboiling water as they have no way of knowing how long it takes your stove to bring water to the boil.

Human: Explain like I'm five years old: How does sleep debt/build up work? If I were to sleep for 24 hours could I then skip the next 3 days of sleep? If so how does it work and if not why does it not work like that? Assistant: None of these answers the real question, which is is it necessary to "catch up" on sleep? If I get like 3 hours of sleep a night for 2 nights in a row, do I then need to sleep 10 or 12 or whatever hours to "catch up", or will one normal nights sleep make up for it?	Human: Explain like I'm five years old: How does sleep debt/build up work? If I were to sleep for 24 hours could I then skip the next 3 days of sleep?

Human: [Marvel] Why does Punisher have such immense respect for Captain America, and why doesn't that respect extend to Daredevil?

Human: [Marvel] Why does Punisher have such immense respect for Captain America, and why doesn't that respect extend to Daredevil? Assistant: To add some scans to everyone else's answer. From Civil War #5: "Fight, you coward." "Not against you." "I wonder why he wouldn't hit Cap." "Are you kidding me? Cap's probably the reason he went to Vietnam. Same guy, different war."	0.484207
Human: [Star wars] Is there anywhere in the galaxy where Droids are treated as equals? In the movies we always see the Droids treated as second class citizens at best, disposable tools at worse, despite being fully sapient. But the galaxy is a pretty big place, surely there's gotta be some communities that recognize Droids as equal citizens, right? Has anything like this been seen in the EU? Assistant: Droids are tools. People in the Star Wars universe treating them as equals is like us treating phones or computers as equals. Droids are not sapient, they're just made to seem that way. At least one of them explicitly says as much. They seem realistic to us because we don't have that kind of tech yet, in the same way a medieval peasant might be convinced Siri is a real person trapped a phone, but they're still just machines.	Human: [Star wars] Is there anywhere in the galaxy where Droids are treated as equals? In the movies we always see the Droids treated as second class citizens at best, disposable tools at worse, despite being fully sapient. But the galaxy is a pretty big place, surely there's gotta be some communities that recognize Droids as equal citizens, right? Has anything like this been seen in the EU? Assistant: I'm assuming you mean "sentient" but this is interesting. Can't think of the top of my head where this had been reflected in a movie. Moving beyond "droids" to encompass any AI and I think there has been fiction where once they "take over", they begin to exterminate their human creators.	0.697529
Human: How come when I make pasta at home it doesn't taste like fresh pasta at a quality italian restaurant? I'm using a basic recipe 300 g semolina flour 400 grams hard flour 300 g egg, 35 g oil 35 gram salt. It tastes great, but why is the flavour profile and texture so much different then house made restaurant pasta? What are the differences between my pasta and a Michelin quality pasta for example Assistant: Give us more detail on your method and technique. We can't help you make better pasta if we don't know what you are doing in the first place!

Human: Help me settle a debate I came up with this idea where you have a solid cylinder-shaped object with a radius of 1 meter, except that this object's height is the same length as the observable universe. Given that his object is in space and that there are no interferences, if you push the tip of it will the tip on the other end move at the same time? Will it enable communication that is faster than light? I think that yes, but my dad thinks that no. His guess is that it will somehow take a slower time for the "information" to travel through the solid object. Assistant: FYI, literally nothing ever enables communication faster than light. Nothing has been shown to even theoretically work, much less experimentally. It's just not a thing. Anyways other commenters have said this but yeah, it would cause a wave to ripple through the object. This happens near instantly for the small objects we manipulate on Earth because they are small, but it is not so for very large objects.

Assistant: When you push a rod, that push propagates through the rod as a pressure wave traveling at the speed of sound through the material. This is quite fast, and at very short distances can feel instantaneous, but it is not, and this becomes obvious over very long distances where it is much, much slower than the speed of light.	0.827322
Human: [General] If you kill a hivemind, is it murder or genocide? Technically you're only killing one being, but you're also potentially killing many different bodies. Assistant: Ender Wiggin would claim genocide. He even labeled himself with it. (Well, technically Xenocide, but you get the point.)	Human: [General] If you kill a hivemind, is it murder or genocide? Technically you're only killing one being, but you're also potentially killing many different bodies.

Human: Bored out of my mind in defense - does it get better after a TS? I am so bored at my defense job. I am an electrical engineer, but I am doing 75% software work and the other 25% is purchasing hardware. I find I work so many hours not because it is challenging, but because my brain refuses to think and my memory has gotten so bad. The work is not simulating so my technical skills have atrophied and there is no good internal training. Does the work become more interesting after I get a TS? If not I may need to jump ship and go to a technology company. I personally do not mind working 60-80 hour weeks as long as I am passionate or interested in the work.. Assistant: I have a different experience than most people in the thread. My job is infinitely more interesting in the classified setting. Working for one of the big firms who don't know what to do with people waiting for clearances sucks though.	Human: Bored out of my mind in defense - does it get better after a TS?

Human: [MCU] Did Dr Strange remember all his previous deaths and the pain of it when he was fighting Dormammu? Did he feel himself dying 1000s of times or however long it took freaking Dormammu ruler of the dark dimension to give in to Strange's stubbornness? Or did he forget each time? Like im pretty sure that would drive you insane. You can also see hes out of breath in the montages of his deaths but he says the same thing everytime so? Assistant: I think he pretty clearly does. It bothered me when Ebony Maw tortured him; opportunity missed for Strange to say something like "needles? I've been slowly turned inside - out over a million times."

And what happened to dormammu in those universes? Or did the whole universe get undone like kang pruning it?	0.830919
Human: Explain like I'm five years old: What causes some people to be heavier sleepers than others? Assistant: Can't speak for myself but my dad used to be an incredibly heavy sleeper. He once slept through a magnitude 6 earthquake when he was in college. I always remember him as a very light sleeper though. Turns out, that he was so scared of me crying when I was a baby and him not hearing me that he trained himself to be a light sleeper.	Human: Explain like I'm five years old: What causes some people to be heavier sleepers than others?

Human: In pictures of the Milky Way galaxy where you can see the dust clouds/amazing detail, Are they always long-exposure photos with nowhere in the night sky actually looking like that irrelevant of light pollution? Or are there some places where you can go to see the Milky Way with the naked eye? Assistant: It should also be noted that the Galactic Center (which is the brightest part of the Milky Way) is in the southern hemisphere.

Or are there some places where you can go to see the Milky Way with the naked eye? Assistant: The human eye can't make out the zillions of individual stars the way a camera with a long exposure can, but in dark skies the milky way is a very obvious band of light across the sky, with dark bands and other details that are easy to see. It looks something like this, though this picture doesn't really capture the feel of it.	0.68384
Human: CMV: I think guns shouldn't be easily available, and should require background checks. I think guns shouldn't be easily available and that people that would like to buy a gun should go through gun training first , get a gun licence and pass background checks. I also think assault rifles shouldn't be sold anymore, and I'm obviously against open carry. I think with guns people can kill another person very easily just by pulling a trigger, and later regret pulling that trigger just because they acted out on their emotion or were drunk, ruining their life and another persons life ( and obviously the victims families) just by pulling a simple trigger. I am against prohibition on anything so I think people should still be able to buy guns, but after going through many background checks and training like I mentioned above. This is to avoid people with mental disorders to get their hands on a gun and easily killing them selfs or someone else. Assistant: Well many of the framers believed that an armed populous was necessary to keep the government from significant over-reach. The only reason the US was able to break off from British tyranny was citizen with guns. Do you not find this argument convincing?

Human: How does one get into GNC engineering (guidance, navigation, control) I graduated last year with a mechanical engineering degree(bachelors), and right now I'm getting a graduate certificate in data science to show that I have some knowledge in programming. I have experience in C++, Python, and using Java for coding with databases and clusters. I'm in a machine learning class this semester that uses Python. GNC is something I know I'd enjoy, but I'm not sure how I'd land a job or get experience in the field. Looking at job requirements for those positions, there are different types of software that are listed and I'm sure many of them are somewhat expensive. My best idea is to pay for the full-priced license of Matlab and Simulink and practice this for myself. Does anyone have any advice on how I can become a better candidate for a GNC engineering position? Thank you in advance. Assistant: Don’t bother paying for a Matlab license. Look at Entry level GNC jobs at major companies (Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, etc) and see what they list out for software stuff. Be good enough to put that stuff on your resume. Apply for those jobs at the major companies to get hired out of school.

Human: What do you guys think about the Saudi line city? (Especially interested in civil and structural engineers’ thoughts) All comments about it on the internet are some variation of “this isn’t going to work” and as a layperson this is my initial thought too but I’m interested in more analytical insight from experts. Like other than the dystopian vibe, what are some structural or logistical difficulties a city like this might face? Assistant: What is the point? Cities are circular because that is the most efficient shape for things to be close to each other. Stretching a city into a line makes zero sense.

Example being poking a zit on the side of your face and then causing an itchy feeling on the back of your neck Assistant: Apologies for answering anecdotally on Explain like I'm five years old, but apparently not everyone experiences this. I asked a medical professional, and they had no idea what I was talking about. A different medical professional told me it was likely nerves in the same "pathway" relaying the information to the brain incorrectly.

Human: Consistent problem with chocolate chip cookies Today, this happened: https://i.imgur.com/eUhAVrS.jpg I followed the recipe at the bottom of this post. The only difference being that I didn’t brown the butter. I took the two sticks straight out of the fridge and creamed them. Anytime anyone in my house tries to bake chocolate chip cookies, they come out flat and greasy. This happens with multiple recipes, but so far, only chocolate chip.

Recipe: https://basicswithbabish.co/basicsepisodes/2017/10/23/baressentials-7xwwz?rq=Cookies (Tollhouse recipe also does this) Assistant: To add to the other suggestions, test your baking soda and baking powder. Put a little scoop on a plate or in a bowl and put a little vinegar on it. If it's still active it should fizz . Replace if it doesn't.

Human: Constantly loud blood - my pulse is projected from my throat/mouth and other people can hear it. 18F, 170cm 48kg Heart rate is around 60bpm. Usually my blood pressure is low - normal. Non-smoker. Here's a recording - https://vocaroo.com/1qv45n1BjsKQ It is constant, consistent, and very annoying. I recorded that just by opening my mouth wide and holding my phone close. It's like I swallowed a metronome or something. No symptoms of respiratory infection. No phlegm, nose is clear, 0 cold symptoms. No hayfever. My mum can hear it if I put my mouth near her ear. She says it occurs at the same time as the pulse in my neck. It happens regardless of the positioning of my mouth, neck, or tongue. It happens whether I breathe or stop breathing. If I expand my lungs to the point of discomfort, it stops whilst lungs are still in that state, but instantly resumes. If I deflate my lungs as much as possible, it also momentarily stops. Otherwise, it is constant. I don't hear any thumping, just this clicking/ticking noise. There is no sensation of thumping or pounding. Duration - Noticed a few days ago but may have been ongoing prior. Location - The sound feels like it's coming from my carotid artery at about the space between the ear and the jaw and is projected by my mouth. Geographic location is Australia, where it is currently Spring. Any existing relevant medical issues - Collapsed chest wall (pectus excavatum, severe) that once compressed and displaced my heart to the left, but now corrected with Nuss early this year. Two titanium bars under ribcage and sternum. I don't know where my heart is now. I had a heart ultrasound about two years ago as part of screening for Marfan syndrome (don't have it) and there wasn't anything of particular significance. Assistant: With your history of pectus excavatum, I suspect you might have some connective tissue disease, and if other people can hear this pulsatile sound I am worried that you might have a vascular malformation or aneurysm. I would seek prompt evaluation by your primary care doctor, and specifically ask about this possibility. You may ultimately need a CT angiogram.

Human: How important is statistics for physics ? This is something I have never been able to understand. I don't understand stats. Everything feels abstract and I'm left with thinking how this formula even came from. More and more I am realising stats is a very important part of physics. Like for quantum mechanics, it must be even more important. So far we have only done Newtonian physics, relativity and a bit of quantum mechanics (time independent schrodinger wave eqn) in my chemistry class. So tell me where it's used and how can I improve in this field? I'm seriously lacking. Assistant: Nothing special about quantum mechanics. All measurements come with uncertainties, often you need several steps of data analysis to extract your parameter of interest, every step comes with uncertainties. You can't do experimental physics without at least some knowledge of statistics. Even in theoretical physics it can often come up if you need input from experiments, run numerical simulations or similar things.	Human: How important is statistics for physics ?

Also, Yoda was known or being exceptionally strong with the force naturally, even without his 800+ years of experience. Assistant: Jedi aren't powerful in the same way as Sith, generally. Sith are mostly all about martial prowess, destructive power, the might to impose their will on the galaxy. Jedi just want to achieve inner peace, harmony with the force. Both are powerful, but in very different ways.	Human: [Star Wars] If the Dark Side, as Yoda said, is quicker and easier, then how is it not more powerful?

Human: [CA] was I unprofessional here or do anything wrong ? We have a coworker who started 3 months ago. She isn’t very good at her job. This coworker told HR on me for saying I was friendly to everyone else except her. I had a meeting with her and HR. I asked if she could recall any particular instance of me being unprofessional and couldn’t. Last Friday I was told to train on her on a task I was doing on her client. Me and this coworker are at the same level. I showed her the task last Friday. She was bombarding my email asking questions regarding it. I responded to the emails as best I could and promptly. She asked me re run the report. I asked if she could do because I trained her and I was swamped. She responded my insulting my training. Every time someone showed her anything she says she wasn’t trained right. Her work is terrible. I was a bit mad and told her “whenever we try to train you or show you a task you complain it isn’t up to your standard. Professionally speaking, it is difficult to work with you” She responded by saying that I was the most disrespectful person she has had in 30 years of working. She forwarded an email to Hr. I got talked to regarding “training styles” and to “talk it out with her” I had to retrain her. She told me that I didn’t have the right to speak with her because I am only a year into my career and she has worked in the role for 30 years. We have the same role This company has insanely high turnover. Out of 20 people we have had 12 leave and be replaced since February. I don’t really think this company is a great one to work for, or that I did anything Wrong. Assistant: It’s not you. It’s their own insecurity seeing you do something better than them. Start looking for another job because this person won’t change.	Human: [CA] was I unprofessional here or do anything wrong ? We have a coworker who started 3 months ago. She isn’t very good at her job. This coworker told HR on me for saying I was friendly to everyone else except her. I had a meeting with her and HR. I asked if she could recall any particular instance of me being unprofessional and couldn’t. Last Friday I was told to train on her on a task I was doing on her client. Me and this coworker are at the same level. I showed her the task last Friday. She was bombarding my email asking questions regarding it. I responded to the emails as best I could and promptly. She asked me re run the report. I asked if she could do because I trained her and I was swamped. She responded my insulting my training. Every time someone showed her anything she says she wasn’t trained right. Her work is terrible. I was a bit mad and told her “whenever we try to train you or show you a task you complain it isn’t up to your standard. Professionally speaking, it is difficult to work with you” She responded by saying that I was the most disrespectful person she has had in 30 years of working. She forwarded an email to Hr. I got talked to regarding “training styles” and to “talk it out with her” I had to retrain her.

Can you see yourself working there in the long term?	0.830013
Human: Is there an engineering job that doesn't require staring at a monitor for 8 hours? I'm an Industrial Engineering graduate, and I just realized that i spend 8 hours everyday sitting in front of a monitor at my desk job, and after i go home, i spend another 8 hours sitting in front of my PC playing games or shitposting on reddit. i'm 27 years old, my eyesight is 3/20, my back is failing, and my ass crack is itching like hell from the accumulated sweat. If this shit keeps up, my eyes sight will approach 0/20, my back will collapse, and my butt rash will develop into cancer with my anal muscles failing to hold shit in anymore. this cannot continue. Assistant: Manufacturing. Come in, pour yourself some coffee, check your email, Hit the floor... and then come back to your desk @ 5:30pm, dump out the cold coffee and go home.

Assistant: I'm a project engineer. Some days, I stare at a monitor for 8 hours a day trying to verify drawings/playing with the budget, etc. Other days, I'm usually on site making sure that the system is working how it's supposed to and talking to vendors, figuring out their schedule etc. I really enjoy it	0.431668
