Tuesdays with Morrie good for a friends who lost her grandfather?
So my friend's gradfather died this summer and she was really close to him. I couldn't say anything to make her feel better, there is nothing really that can take that pain away but time. I read Tuesdays with Morrie and I thought there were a lot of great things in there, some possibly that could ease her pain a little.
Should I gift her that book, would it be helpful? Or is it kinda a stupid idea...
1 AnswerPolls & Surveys8 years agoHow to deal with a jerk (my friends boyfriend)?
So there's this guy who my really good friend started dating about 8 months ago. I would have no problem with him, but for some reason he hates me, and it seems like he is always trying to make me uncomfortable.
For one thing, he never says hi to me, or talks to me directly, or includes me in any conversation when Im with my friend (his gf). He also makes it a point to make out with her and cuddle her when I'm there alone with them and trying to talk to her, which obviously makes me feel awkward. He never does it when there are other people besides me.
I know that he was going to ask me out before he asked my friend out, but for some reason he didn't. I didn't turn him down or anything, he just never asked, so I don't see why he would hate me for that, or want to make me jealous. For all he knows, I could've said yes to him...
Why does he do all these stupid things to make me uncomfortable? Its gotten to the point where I avoid my friend just because I dont want to see him.
What can I do about this?
6 AnswersFriends8 years agoWhat's the right thing to do here?
Ok so there's this guy in university who is the most obnoxious person you have ever met. But to me he is less obnoxious for some reason. When we are alone, he is really nice, and always offers to help and sends me old tests and labs and lets me borrow his textbooks (he's a year older), without me even asking.
I work with a professor that he works with, so avoiding him is really hard, and he's asked me to go out for drinks, to get high, to concerts and I've managed to get out of all of those because I am not interested in him.
Recently he asked me really directly to relax after my exam by him taking me to a movie and for drinks. I wouldn't drink so that's a no, but should I say no to the movie as well?
I feel like he is so nice to me and I've never done anything for him, and I keep turning him down, but I dont know what else to do.
I was thinking of taking another girl with me to the movies with him, so it doesn't seem like a date. I need him to not hate me though because he works really closely with the prof I work with (my boss) so if he hates me, it wouldn't be a good thing for my job (which I'm pretty new at). Should I just not go as usual or go and hope that he's just being friendly?

1 AnswerSingles & Dating8 years agoDo you get depressed when you see people in a happy, loving relationship?
I went to visit my friend the other day after about a month of not seeing her, and she was with her boyfriend. I dont know why ever since i saw her i've been so depressed and feeling like i will never have that and they are so lucky that they found their other half. Anyone else ever feel this way?
11 AnswersPolls & Surveys8 years agoDoesn't religion do more good than bad?
I understand that lately, most global conflicts are blamed on religion; it doesn't make sense to me though, because just as there are bad people that follow a certain religion there are 100 times more good people that follow the same religion. Why focus at all on that person's religion? Treat people for who they are as an individual, no major religion teaches evil towards humanity.
Also if it wasn't religious beliefs that caused difference of opinion, it would've been something else:country, hair colour, occupation. Humans will never see eye to eye with regards to everything, we are all different and will always disagree.
Those who think religion does more bad for them than good can choose of course not to follow a religion, but there are so many more people who have been saved by their God. The thought of something out there that is better than this life, someone out there who is watching over us and will provide unconditional love is more comforting than anything here on this Earth. When you are going through hard times, there's nothing more comforting than knowing you are never put through something you can't handle. Suicide never has to be the answer because there is someone watching who knows you are strong enough to handle the situation even when you don't think you are.
So why do so many people think religion is such a war inducing evil?
I've made my case, would like to hear other perspectives.
14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoWhat exactly do I say?
Ok so I've been to the walk in clinic near my house twice before for anxiety medication.. The first time he gave me just 10 pills to try and told me to come back to let him know how it worked...
6 months later I went back when I had finished them all.. It was a different doctor so basically I said that I was told to come back when they finished and let you know how they worked.. So basically he got that I needed more...he prescribed me just 10 more -.-
Now a year later, I need more, and I don't know what to say now.. I don't wanna just walk in and say I'm out of pills give me more.. Because I don't want to sound like I'm some drug dealer, or addict.. I'm just at a loss as to what to say exactly...
I'd really appreciate any ideas..

2 AnswersOther - General Health Care8 years agoImperial units for angular frequency?
What are the imperial units for angular frequency ωn? I have the equation (k/m)^1/2 and my k is in lb/in and m is in lb, so I think if I plug these right into the equation it ends up being 1/s, which I'm not sure how to convert to rad/s. Or is this already rad/s?

2 AnswersHomework Help8 years agoDESPERATE Airplane Wing Flap Question?
Ok i really need to know this for a project.
We designed a wing flap mechanism, to deploy the flaps at 50% and 100% deployment and stow them back away. It is similar to a fourbar linkage, it has two actuators that provide degrees of freedom in the x and y directions, no rotation. It is relatively light and made of 6061 aluminum, and when the flap is stowed, it is almost flat folded up against the airfoil.
We now must do a mathematical analysis to determine how suitable the mechanism is. My question is how does our mechanism affect calculations? I understand it would play a huge part in displacement analysis to make sure the flap follows the path it needs to, but how does the mechanism affect drag, lift, pressure...I just feel like it is so small and light, that it wouldn't make a difference..
Equations would be helpful.
Thanks!
1 AnswerEngineering8 years agoWhy do I feel so uncomfortable talking about relationships with anyone?
Everytime a friend asks about whether I have a boyfriend, or have had a boyfriend, or mention someone who has a crush on me, I get really uncomfortable, and I can feel my heart rate increasing. I don't know why, I've never had a really bad experience with guys..I haven't even had a boyfriend yet, but that's just because I feel really uneasy being in a relationship too; so every guy that has shown interest in me, I just push away.
I want to have a boyfriend and get married one day but why does talking about my own relationship experience make me so uncomfortable, I'm 20 years old now, shouldn't I be ready by now to be in a relationship?
2 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoSimple Question about Hydraulic Pistons/ Cylinders?
Do they have an in between position? Like only let half the fluid in so you can stop the piston halfway, then let the rest in to get it at full extension?
I need to design something that has two positions, but I want to minimize the materials and weight so I was wondering if both positions are achievable with just a single double acting cylinder.
