Me Gook

Well, I wont say nothing. There are plenty of things we do have in common, its just fairly major lifestyle differences. I'm very outdoorsy, shes very indoorsy. Shes well read, I'm not. She'd like to live in the city, I'd love to live just outside it. I like to have drinks with friends, for the most part she enjoys being sober.

The real issue is this person compliments me on so many levels, emotional, communication, sexual, humor. It's amazing how much we match and both care for each other. We have a very similar image of what we want the rest of our lives to look like. We both feel like somehow we've been best friends for a long time. We are both voraciously attracted to each other and ridiculously honest with one another. I've never met someone that gets along with me this well.

The other night we sat around and she told me that she thinks she's not the right person for me. That we have so much that isn't in common. We cried, we held each other, we tried to figure it out. At the end of the night we weren't sure about anything anymore except we both care for each other so much, and don't want either of us to hurt or change for one another.

My REAL question is this, can different people out there give me their experience with love and lack of commonalities? I'm biting my nails that this is a beautiful moment which needs to be seized. I also don't want to burn up a relationship with someone that I care about so much. Help!

At work we install retaining rings into a housing to limit the movement of the roller bearing and to hold the shaft in place. After complaining about my hand's soreness from having to repeat the task 300+ times a day, and not much being done about it on the engineering level. I've decided to come up with a case on the safety aspect of this repetitive motion.

RotorClip goes on and on about spacial dimensions but says nothing about actual compression force. Does anybody know of a good method in determining the force required to compress a ring of specified material and size?

I wont need help with the leverage of the pliers diminishing the force required for the ring itself. Thanks!

First off she's been diagnosed with a personality disorder years ago, she calls it depression though. I found this out half way through the relationship during her first outburst. She got real snarky with me after a fun filled weekend on the river. And demanded I leave her house as she didn't have the spirits to deal with me right now. This happened because on the drive home I wished the river was a bit lower, and she called that 'being negative'. This has so far happened quite a few times, me being demanded to leave. The things that get her to demand me to leave are; me asking 'what', when I didn't hear her while driving, me chewing loudly while famished, me asking about her friends (in a non-interrogative way).

After I get ordered to leave, I feel shitty. Then later I'm yelled at for not spending enough time with her. We work opposite shifts leaving the weekends and lunches open. She tells me that I have to change my schedule to reflect hers, and I really can't do that.

I end up getting more aggravated when I can never seem to make her happy. But then in the same sentence she tells me I'm 'her everything' and that she needs me. I love her and don't want to hurt her but I don't feel like I'm the guy for her.

Last year her brother died of cancer and every day she goes on about how she is so depressed about him dying. She goes on and on about how awful and nasty his last hours were. I suggested to her that she think more about the good times that they had together and she responded that they weren't very close, and infact he was an asshole to her. Which confused me thoroughly.

Right now we're having a break. I told her I couldn't stand to be snapped at randomly about the things that I do. She told me if I didn't want to get snapped at I'd not annoy her. I felt that was abusive tactics and left. I want to go back to her, but at the same time I worry this is just the tip of the iceberg. I would have a life filled with me feeling crappy about who I am.

Now its not like this all the time, but she had a kid way back, and during and before that time she used to sleep around a lot, and then finally in the last three years completely abstained from sex. I'm her first boyfriend in three years. The bit thats bugging me though is that she readily brings up her sexual past (not in graphic detail), but says that she used to be a whore, and now has changed. I told her I'm really not too comfortable hearing about that kind of stuff, as I'm not really the best in bed (high blood pressure kind of ruins some activities...) and for the most part she doesn't talk about it with me. But it still comes up every now and then. Now that shes meeting my friends, it seems like she feels compelled to go on about how she used to be a renegade and a whore yadda yadda. Debauchery as she calls it. And it makes me feel really uncomfortable as if shes almost flirting with everybody. Now I'm not a real controlling person, and I'm the last person that wants to say what somebody can and can't talk about. But am I crazy for feeling jealous, and or protective when my girlfriend starts talking about her past sex life with my friends? And especially people that aren't my friends that see that as her flaunting her sexuality and giving them ideas?

So I've gotten into a relationship that has been very wonderful. She constantly wants to hang out with me, although I really can't all the time. We have different shifts so we do what we can on the weekends, lunches, and sleep overs. I fallen so hard for her, but its worrying me to death because there are signs of underlying problems. Lately shes been going from very hot, to very cold. The last one was a great camping trip, she was elated all weekend, loved me up, smiles, laughs, yadda yadda. As were leaving she keeps talking about how she wants to spend all night at home together recuperating. As soon as we get driving home, everything I say is bad, no matter how even keel it is. We get home and she just says, i love you so much, but I really don't think we should spend the night together. Now I'm all freaked out, she gives me a bunch of excuses, tells me she doesn't have time to tend to my emotions and just wants me to leave. A perfect magical weekend, abruptly stopped for no reason at all. She says shes saving me from her saying mean things to me, even though she ensures me that I haven't done anything. I guess I just feel that my emotions took second seat, even though I give her first chair all the time. Am I just being selfish, should I just be a man, and say women are crazy? I feel like my best friend is having troubles, and I can't do anything to help.

I'm not too experienced with automatic transmissions in general, but mine is acting funny. Recently got the truck with 87K miles, and not too long after started doing this. If the truck is started on a cold start (30-60F), it idles just fine, as soon as I put it into R, D, 1, or 2. The engine makes a soft grinding noise with a little bit of a rattle. When I start to drive it, it always shifts into 2nd very easily, 3rd not so much. RPM's will continue to rise and rise and no shift. So I left of the gas, still no shift. Sometimes at this point when I accelerate the transmission is stuck in neutral. Eventually it will shift, but its hard for the first 10 shifts (into 3rd). Beyond 3rd there is no problem. Give the car 10 minutes of driving, the problem begins to go away along with no more soft grinding and rattle, 30 minutes of driving, the problem completely goes away. The transmission fluid is on the level, good color and smell. If the truck is parked and stopped, and started warm again the problem does not return. Only when its been sitting over night or quite some time, does it go back to the problems. I have no idea if the filter has been changed, but I'm guessing not. Any ideas out there mechanics?

Yes, I know it would vary greatly. I've heard a "rule of thumb" being that there is 1kW in a square meter of sunlight. Yes, I know it would vary. I've also heard that sterling engines ideally would be 40% efficient. But more like 20 and 30%. Would that mean that the power generated from a system would be 200 to 300 watts, and ideally 400 watts? That seems like quite a bit of energy to be netted from all of this for us not to be gonzo about this generation device. Am I missing something?

If carbon 14 is continually decaying why is there any left at all? I understand the carbon comes from carbon dioxide. But where is the isotope made? In the plants? From animal respiration? To me the plants or the animals have to create the isotope, if it was there before it should be decayed already.

more particularly non-vegetable forms of it. Connective tissue, cartilages and such are said to be "insoluble proteins". Does this infer that they are harder to digest? Or are they less bioavailable, and simply get excreted? Would this be a strain on your excretory organs? I'm having a particularly hard time finding much on google, and some meats or rather meat products are have varying contents of either.

My problem is a reference error. I want one column for bills, one for income, one for an average daily usage, then that goes to an estimated balance. Now I have it all set up and it works just fine. Except I see that a month from now I'm going to run negative, so I'd like to pay a certain bill late, if I move the bill to a later date (or earlier) it ruins all the balance calculations later than the move. I've tried using a $ in front of the row number to lock the balance calculation to that specific row. Even so it doesn't really lock it, it replaces the whole reference with a #REF. I hope I'm explaining this properly.

would the motor housing turn, or would the axle turn, would each sides weight determine this? Or would both housing and axle turn slower reverse of eachother?

It seems to me studying earth geology; craters would be the last place you'd want to study millions of years of development. I would think the basin would be lined with shocked quartz, the rim would show strata, but only if the damaged minerals from the impact sluffed off, making it near impossible to get to. Also the mountain that they are going to be focusing their studies looks to me as if its just a massive eroded rebound from the impact, not a natural formation. Any geologists care to refute all that?

I'm not very clear on "reasonable expectation of privacy". My roomate is recording the living room when I'm home alone. I feel I shouldn't have to curb my cell phone calls, conversations with present friends, talking to myself, talking to the dog, just because he is a weirdo that wants to "know" everything. If I am home alone, and he is not present, and I know he won't be present, do I have reasonable expectation of privacy in the common rooms of the house?

OK, to turn that around, he said he "wouldn't" charge me for the deck, but if he did fix it, I would not be allowed to put anything on the deck of any weight. Saying that the things on the deck caused the footings to sink into the ground. Also,being a dumbass, I didn't put any of this stuff in writing at the begining. But, I mentioned it to him on move in, and he said yeah he noticed it, 2nd years lease, I mentioned it again, saying I really don't care if you fix it, but I wan't to make sure your aware of it, because it could be costly later. Third years lease, I again warn him about the deck, saying I'm worried it's getting worse, durring winter water freezes and we hear loud pops out there. The only physical evidence that I have is a timestamped digital photo showing a neighboring deck, compared to ours, ours is significantly lower. Also, over all of this, the gutter is falling off and not catching water (and we've told him repeatedly about it), and he says he'll fix it, but never does. Also one of those things, where I warn him, this is your place, not mine. When he threatened that I could be liable for the deck, I did mention that since the gutter lets water stream straight down off the roof that the water could be softening the ground and letting the footings sink. He had nothing to say to that.

My biggest question is, is there anything I should be doing right now to prevent this from turning into my problem. I looked up how much weight by code it's supposed to hold up, and its just over 2000lbs. I have around 400lbs of plants in buckets growing now. If I could fit my car up there, it should hold it. A building inspecter could be called(under specifications the deck is NOT to code as is), but I risk him becomming even more of a ******, and trying to rape us somehow else. I've always been a good tenant and leave places I've been in in better condition than when I've gotten in. My previous rental history is spotless. Any GOOD advice is appreciated!

OK, so I'm doing a little something for work that involves a iron cart that stands about a yard high, and is about a yard long and 1/2 a yard wide. The cart has a handle 4 inches out from the top for pushing and pulling, the cart itself weighs 125lbs. My question is at what weight on the handle would uplift the empty 125lb cart. When I do the fulcrum formula M1xA=M2xB (125*36")/(4")=M2, M2 ends up being 1125lbs. And I know thats not true because 169lbs tipped it. I suspect I'm not understanding something about A and B. Can anybody clarify this for me?

My best friend has an anger problem. And recently he flipped out on his girlfriend, threw things at her, and was generally raged. She was not ok with that at all, and asked me if she could come over to cool down. She broke up with him immediately and very quickly it became apparent she was trying to get with me. And as many times as I pushed her away, we finally managed to be intimate. Now I'm sitting here feeling like the biggest pile of dog $h!t. She knows it was the wrong thing to do, and realizes we really can't see each other. He would go crazy, understandably. Any good ways anybody can think to right my wrong..?
