This isn’t going to be accurate, it’s ignoring a key aspect of the heat that will be generated, friction. When designing materials for prosthetics we have to be aware of how much friction occurs between the material and skin. If the amount of friction is too great, the material can create enough heat to damage tissue.
The formula for the skin friction coefficient is cf=τw12ρeue2, where ρe and ue are the density and longitudinal velocity at the boundary layer’s edge.
My dude, I have autism. My wife has autism, ADHD, accompanied with early childhood trauma, and is bi. It does not give anyone a pass to be an abusive spouse, or allow them to coerce anyone into agreeing to an open relationship.
and I am not exaggerating an iota of this, she behaved EXACTLY as she used to back in the day.
I highly doubt this is true… You both are approaching your thirties, or in your thirties. The likelihood that you both behaved exactly the way you used to is slim to none. For one, our memories are not exact narrations of our past. Secondly, you are obviously in a state of emotional excitability, and so you yourself are not a reliable narrator.
If you both acted “exactly” how you used too, it’s not really a good thing. It means you’ve both not progressed emotionally in the last decade.
It’ll still hurt like shit if it turns out I was right and there really is nothing more there, because, if she still is as I remember her, then she’s, like… outta this world, not even kidding…
Only because it may pop the bubble of illusion you’ve built up in your head. In reality if there is nothing, then nothing has changed except your ability to participate in a well worn self deception, and shedding your own idealistized version of the past is healthy anyways.
She is not “outta this world”, she is just a normal human being. Thinking that she is some goddess put on a pedestal is not only demeaning to her self determination, but it hints at your own inadequacies with self esteem.
I think you may be building this whole scenario up in your head a bit. Remember, 12 years is a long time and it can be hard to not look at people and times in our past with rose colored glasses. She could very well be a very different person than she used too, and you may have never known her as well as you think you did. It’s an easy assumption to make when you are young, dumb, and thinking with hormones.
I’m not telling you to confess your undying love or anything, that’s not exactly first date material. In fact, I would avoid that particular subject unless they bring it up, or until you know that it’s requited.
Just tell them that you really enjoyed your talk, and was wondering if they’d like to grab drinks or dinner sometime. It’s that simple, everything else going on in your head is just your anxiety boiling up reasons to preserve the status quo.
Just don’t get it in your head that this person owes you anything, or hold them to any set expectations. The past is behind you both, the future is what you make of it.
I mean, you could always just communicate your feelings? It’s not illegal to be attracted to your friends, my wife and I were friends for around ten years before we started dating.
It’s a bit different when you’re young and inexperienced. There’s always a perceived gap in experience between young romantic partners. Usually with one person thinking they know what they want and what they are doing, and the other just happy to be there and hoping for the best.
In my experience once you’re in your thirties life kinda teaches you that there are no adults, no one knows what they’re doing, and it’s all up to you to make the life you want happen.
A man can only cross a river once, and it’s been 12 years. You are not the same person you were in college, and neither is she. More than likely she is in the same position as you, pondering on the past and potential future.
Shoot your shot. If it doesn’t work out, no big deal, you’re in the same boat you started out on. The worst case scenario here is not expressing your feelings, and then regretting it for another decade.
Yeah… My oldest cat makes different noises for different requests. Yowling near door to go outside, chirping near bowls for dinner, and little mews while following you around to be picked up. And I’m not really sure it’s an outlier case as the other two younger cats are starting to learn to do the same.
I think I may have found the answer? After researching a little bit it looks like Abu al Abyad, the island above the elongated rectangles is actually an international military testing facility. This article , and a couple similar to it alluded that the area is for testing naval equipment and amphibious landings.
There are similar man made pools of salt water in desert condition that the US utilizes for radar testing at the China Lake research facility in California.
It’s probably not that bad, but I wouldn’t be surprised just based on anecdotal experience.
I’m a provider at a children’s hospital and phones have always been an issue during appointments. Before, it was mostly an issue with getting parents to pay attention or answer questions during the evaluation.
However since COVID, we’ve noticed a large increase of parents using tablets and phones as a constant babysitter. These children are so emotionally attached to their screens that they will tantrum until they have access to their screen again.
But that was in the 60s. They are not exactly new at it. I think they also invaded Vietnam but my memory is fuzzy on why.
Their last major engagement was the sino Vietnamese war, where they attempted to invade Vietnam to support the Khmer rouge in Cambodia. It was a complete shit show.
I imagine if a full invasion ever happened it would be a complete shit show. Large combined arms maneuvers are problematic for countries with actual experience. I can’t imagine choosing Taiwan for your first time.
But let’s be real for a second. the CCP(should) have little interest in invading Taiwan. Sanctions from the West would cripple the country. Also their birthrates are at an all time low. A war would devastate that even more. China is already feeling some discontent since the CCP has broken the golden contract.
One would hope, but it wouldn’t exactly surprise me if they utilized it as a rallying cry if the rise in discontent on the mainland continues.
Tbh, this seems more like training facilities for special operations. In the 60’s North Korea built a to scale mock up of the Blue House in Seoul for the same reason, then they carried out a raid in an attempt to kill the president.
I wonder if the construction of the mock up in China aligns with your recent election cycle? From what I’ve read about Ching-te, he seems pretty adamant about the sovereignty of your country.
I wouldn’t want to be in the airborne unit being dropped. Your choices are basically to be dropped into urban combat, or on a freaking mountain. But I think I’d probably choose that over an amphibious landing on an island that’s been fortifying for this specific engagement for decades.
Either way, I definitely wouldn’t choose Taiwan as my first combined arms offensive in 40 years.
Tbh, I think America in general might be a little too obsessed with personal freedom for us to transfer the entire country over to nuclear energy.
Successful nuclear programs require actual collective work for long term viability. We would need to actually give administrative powers to an agency like the nuclear regulation commission that supercedes the authority of individual states.
Otherwise its just going to be like 30 years of ironing out NIMBY state legislation before anything gets built, just like the deep storage facility we’ve been “building” since the 80s.
Yeah, but investors really don’t care about the price of a stock, they care about how much the price moves once they own it.
It’s the inherent problem with publicly owned companies. Even if you perfected a mode of profit, unless you improve upon perfection next quarter you’re in hot shit.
You can only squeeze so much profit out of any one gimmick, after that the only way to mimic growth is by cutting labour costs, and eventually diverting investment funding into profit for shareholders.
But, scarcity = value! They don’t tell you sometimes it also means you’re just easy to overlook.
I’m the only person in my discipline and with my credentials at my hospital. Which means they didn’t initially know how to pay me, and had to set up my own payment scheme in their system.
Every year when the hospital re-credentialing board goes to approve my faculty permissions, they mess up and have to call my national licensing committee… where I’m a chair member.
How dare you, the ancients weren’t tainted with the same levels of sexual proclivities found in modern society. They weren’t just grooming those boys because they just wanted to fuck them, they were engaging in pedagogy, not pedophilia! It’s why all my twink TA’s are underclassmen, someone must teach the youth. - every male art history teacher
