Reply to comment by littlesausage01 in ELI5: What can I do to put my gf in a better mood when she wakes up? by [deleted]
Out of the question. I just can't work. But thanks for the suggestion. Wish it was remotely an option. I've tried repeatedly to start my own business for the flexibility but that's looking impossible too. Just throwing money I don't have away to get started

Reply to comment by BigChiefS4 in eli5 How is computer memory deleted? by unlikemike123
I agree with that, not many people call it memory, unless it is a memory card or similar. It is however still a type of computer memory and OP is asking how to erase a file in memory, which is why I try to clear up that there is two types of memory. I edited the original post to clarify that primary memory or even more specifically RAM is what people usually call memory, and that secondary memory is often called storage.
But saying you are being pedantic but then saying something that is technically entirely incorrect is not being pedantic and simply ads to confusion.

If you two don’t work which I am assuming, it is imperative to find a stable job. Preferably one that makes enough to support both of you

For most part you could sure, in fact a lot of 3D Prints come with printed parts. But for things like the hot end, motors, logic boards, power supply, screens, gears, belts, etc. Not really. At least not right now.
There is flexible filament you could use for belts, and some printers can print metal or metal infused plastic filament. But you would need such a level of precision that it just wouldn't make sense. Other firms of manufacturing is way cheaper, easier, and faster.
For the step motors, monitors, psu, and circuit boards. idt it'll ever be possible to print those. At least not in full, there a lot of tiny components, not to mention processors that are on the nanometer scale ( 0.000001mm ).
TLDR; You can/could print a lot of parts of a 3DP on a 3DP but I don't think you could ever print a whole 3DP. There's just to many parts that need to be very precise and aren't possible to print.

Health hazard of EMF radiation is not just a matter of frequency. A laser can burn through the skin yet its frequency is usually a million times lower than the GHz found in these millimeterwave chambers.

I wish it were that simple. My dad only has his house in a few weeks, so unless I live on the streets there's nowhere I can go. My mum doesn't have her house yet after the nasty divorce. Besides, she's 500 miles away and I don't have a car, and my dad doesn't want to know her, and my gf has banned m from using the car to even see her. And I have zero friends so noone o stay with. My brother has no space. I'm trapped in this god awful situation. Best I can do short term is try to patch things up

Reply to eli5 Why are bridges always set at the same level (straight rather than one side shorter than the other)? by birdnerd1991
Bridges are built to last a very, very long time, and the simpler you make them the longer they will last.
A sloped bridge is going to have an uneven distribution of force. One end will be more affected by its own weight than the other. That's not good for longevity.

Sorry. Where should I ask? I though it was a sub for kind advice, like I'm 5 years old, ya know? Sorry though. I'm just really struggling ATM. Trying to avoid the urge to try killing myself again

Reply to comment by Unable-Fox-312 in Eli5: Why do birds and fish come in such a spectacular variety of colors and shapes compared to other animals? by thetravelman888
Sort of?
Paraphyletic is saying "everything in this evolutionary branch except these things".
Take reptiles for example. In common usage, it excludes birds, even though birds are a subset of dinosaurs, which are a subset of reptiles.
The exclusion of birds from the reptile "group" makes it paraphyletic.
Also fun fact! The most closely related animal group to birds is actually crocodilians (crocodiles, alligators, etc)

This is not the sub for this question. The purpose of this sub is to ask for simplified explanations to complex topics; it's not for asking for advice. You'll have much better luck elsewhere.

Reply to comment by dimonium_anonimo in Eli5 why do traffic lights have red, yellow and green color? Why not use other colors so that even colourblind people can drive. by [deleted]
Green, for "all good, lets go!"
At least it should be, since e-stops are usually red for "crap, stop!"
There certainly are double-meanings here, depending on one's perspective and what one defines as "good" and what is "evil". Depends on if you're the operator or the mechanic, I suppose.
I see below that your machine seems to be the opposite. Most machinery I've seen has a green "start" button and a red "stop" button. I guess they're not as standardized as traffic lights. The hard part is when you press the green button, which illuminates the red warning light, lol.

Lungfish and coelocanths are more closely related to us than to other fish

Life isn't about walking on eggshells around your partner.
You both need to establish better ways to communicate what you feel is going wrong. There should be no 'bitter arguments', if something goes wrong ensure the boundaries for how you communicate that to each other are clearly laid out.
That conversation needs to happen when you're both clear of mind and calm.

Consumer 3D printers print shitty plastics. If you ever want a strong plastic, or god forbid a metal piece, or GASP silicon, you're out of luck.
No you can't print a 3D printer. And never will be able to. All they can print is 100% shitty plastic. 50s tech basically. As soon as you encounter metal or worse you need a silicon chip, that's it. You go outside.
