Is Tribology Approaching Its Golden Age? Grand Challenges in Engineering Education and Tribological Research

Valentin L. Popov* Technische Universität Berlin, Berlin, Germany In spite of its obvious importance, the subject of tribology has relatively low visibility in the engineering community and among the general public. The author’s hypothesis is that this problem is at least partly due to the poor “availability” of tribology. In other words, there are practically no simple methods or concepts…

inventing a new way to listen to music:

make a playlist of mid to bad music, preferably pop of some kind

put on the playlist while doing heinous tasks

the mild psychic damage of "listening to music that isn't good" protects you from the greater psychic damage of "doing tasks that suck"/"participating in capitalist society"

the tasks get done

very excited about this. i think it could be revolutionary

i just watched Contact and i have a LOT to say but first it is fucking brilliant that the transport machine has the same visual components as a biblically accurate angel

Thinking about that one post that was like “Gerard wants to stay in the castle when war comes because he spent his formative years struggling to stay alive and survive and now he’s expected to do it again”

Like…yes you get it.

Gerard was ten.

And at ten years old he knew death better than others. He watched his first friend get eaten alive as part of the food chain at work, he nearly died at the teeth of a dog because he didn’t understand why it was weird for a talking frog to address a guard like a prince. A ten year old experienced near death for the first time and people still have the audacity to call him a coward.

He stayed in that pond for god knows how long (he states he’s thirty but we don’t know how long he and Elody have been married) and he waited for ages for someone to come find him, anyone really. That heron probably came by every day, same with the hunters and their dogs. How much death and injury did you think Gerard saw over those years in the pond? How much bravery and cleverness do you think he had to muster up in himself so as not to get eaten? No wonder he latched onto Elody and the castle life so quickly.

And when war comes at a time when he’s supposed to be free, a time when the curse has been broken and everything is fine, of course he flees. Of course he claims they can stay in their castle and be okay.

Because Gerard knows death. And he knows that if he leaves the castle again, he’s not sure he’ll make it back this time.

And he’s right. He doesn’t.

(At least that version of him anyway)

does anyone have experience in group therapy? what does that entail, what does a session look like? does the therapist give a topic/an impulse and ppl say their thing one by one? does someone suggest sth and then it's just a back and forth conversation (and the therapist is basically the moderator)? or an endless loop of giving therapy homework and everyone talking about how it went for them

I have started Overall's Relaxation Protocol and I really liked this video to show me exactly how it looks before I started. I find this kind of training really difficult because it's boring and I'm impatient and I struggle with environment setups. But anyway, I started last night. It started really badly! I was trying to do all three dogs at once, which absolutely did not work. So I stopped that and took Topaz into the kitchen and did Task Set 1 with just her, which was fine.

I'm not sure if it's going to translate that well because Luca and Marceline were hovering at the babygate the whole time. I am already over it thinking about having to repeat multiple task sets in different parts of the house. My house is small and open plan so it's not easy to separate the dogs. I need to do this though because Topaz needs extra help learning to settle.
