My professor keeps mentioning these two terms but I can't figure out the difference, and couldn't really find much on the internet.

I’ve seen that the self-diffusion coefficient measures the diffusion in the absence of a chemical potential.

Are there any other restrictions? Such as does the system need to be made up of identical particles? Does the system need to be at a constant temperature, pressure, etc.?

If I have a microcanonical ensemble of identical argon atoms, would there be a self-diffusion coefficient associated with that ensemble?

I'm in properties of materials now learning about diffusion rates. Carbon in iron and magnesium in aluminum make sense, but there are rates listed for copper in copper, aluminum in aluminum, etc. Why is this desired? How is it measured? It's just a little confusing how you'd measure aluminum diffusing in aluminum, and what it would actually be used for.

I'm not OOP. This is a repost.

My marriage is on the rocks because of my mother. I need some serious help.

I reddit often but needed to make an account different from my main. My marriage is seriously on the rocks and although I've browsed here before I never thought I'd have to post one day, but here we are.

I'm 36M and my wife is 28F. Been married for 4 years, together for 6, and have a one year old daughter who is the light of my life. My wife is an amazing mother and partner. My own mother on the other hand is absolutely ridiculous and my wife has made me realize over time that my relationship with her is not healthy. My mom tries to control everything, including our wedding (which I convinced my wife to suck it up and go with my mom's ideas--she is still resentful of me for it). Passive aggressive behavior on my mother's part basically since we started dating has made my wife absolutely hate her. I'll admit I haven't been as firm with my mom as I should have been in the past.

This brings us to yesterday. Our wedding anniversary was last night. We're a little tight on money right now, being new parents and our jobs are not fantastic. So I suggested that a family friend watch our daughter, I buy us a nice bottle of wine, and we cook dinner and just relax. I could tell my wife was disappointed that we couldn't do anything bigger or better but she agreed this was the best choice, and we settled to both be home from work at 6 PM. I was headed home from work when I got a call from my mother asking me to come over because it was an "emergency". I asked her what type of emergency it was and she just started crying frantically and begging me to come over. It was already 5:30 PM but I live in a low volume traffic area so I figured I would stop by and calm my mom down before I met my wife. When I got to my mother's house she was literally sitting on the couch having a glass of wine and watching TV. I was livid. She was so calm too, not the frantic monster I was speaking to on the phone. I started pressing about what the emergency was and reminded her that this was the night of my wedding anniversary and she said she had some house tasks for me to

Update: Rachel managed to have my review removed from Google. That's how terrified she is of criticism. This is a lesson to everyone, anything can be bought and if you charge $120/hour, you can afford lawyers and review removals.

She claims to be a master stylist and charges $120/hour. She doesn't know how to do curly hair period and only knows how to the basic balayage. She charged me $480 and I walked out of her salon with my hair bun. She cut off at least 50% of my hair, fried the ends (I was already blonde), didn't cover the roots, and has no idea how style curly hair, what products to use or how to use the diffuser. I asked for grey hair root coverage, ashy tone, and rounded layers.

My curl won't curl anymore because it was cut into the curl pattern and fried. I still have roots and greys showing. She offered no masks or treatments and proceeded to charge me $480. I was too distraught to argue with her at that point. She also wanted Venmo because "credit cards charge fees" so of course there is no recourse with Venmo. And I just was so out of it and wanted to leave, I didn't even click on the Purchases toggle in Venmo. Don't do what I did everyone.

All her ratings are 5-star, not even one 4-star which should've been suspicious enough. I expected to walk out looking like Beyoncé, considering someone charges that much and walked out looking like orphan Annie. I had to re-wash and cut myself the next morning and already bought K18 cause Olaplex wasn't enough. Do NOT recommend to anyone that requires a little more finesse with curly hair and doesn't want to spend half a grand.

I did try to resolve it with her amicably but it escalated to lawyers and notaries and telling me to never criticize or talk about her and from then on, it only got worse, which I don't want to get into here. I want to warn people to not do what I did and blindly go to someone cause they are a friend of a friend and seem sweet. No. I was traumatized and shocked. She proceeded to block me on FB and Instagram. Ok, like do whatever you want girl 🤦🏼‍♀️

It'll take me 6-12 months to a year and additional salon visits if I ever trust anyone again with my hair and multiple products to revive. A person who doesn't know how to handle ALL hair shouldn't be charging $120/hour or should've just said, nope I don't think I can help you because of XYZ.

(Note: this is the most recent article on Worldbuilding Workshop, a blog that provides worldbuilding inspiration, including premodern/early modern history, geography, conlangs, etc.)

Many people argue that due to magic, fantasy combat should have more in common with early modern warfare than premodern war. To be honest, I haven’t fully considered this idea. To get started, let’s look at what war looked like in the gunpowder era before the Industrial Revolution. This will focus on European warfare at the end of the period, barely touching the Napoleonic wars.

We’ll look at armies, gear, strategy, operations, siege tactics, battle tactics, and naval tactics.

Armies

• As warfare evolved during the early modern era, army sizes skyrocketed. The demands of larger armies, coupled with increased bureaucratic capacity, led to some of the first large standing armies. These were recruited or conscripted from the populace and usually provided salaries, all features that modern professional militaries are familiar with.
• We’ll touch on this in the next section, but the fact that most of the expenses are paid by the state serves to “flatten” armies as far as social classes are concerned. Before this period, soldiers mostly had to pay for their own gear. This meant that poorer soldiers were consigned to lower-quality units and suffered high mortality rates. For example, cavalry was made up of members of the upper-class, since horses are so expensive. Once governments started picking up the bill, unit membership starts being less based on soldier wealth. In theory, this should make things more based on personal ability, but nepotism and chance were still significant factors.
• Professional armies have one notable drawback. Most non-professional militaries make use of existing social structures—families, villages, or other pre-existing organizations fight together. These social ties create morale, or more properly, cohesion. Since career soldiers are removed from these connections, artificial ones have to be made. Training regimens and standardized drills serve to create bonds between soldiers, encouraging them to stay in the fight.

Gear

• As previously mentioned, the early modern period saw governments producing gear for armies. Premodern gear tended to be wildly varied, even within units. Now that equipment was being made en masse, it started to become standardized. Regular uniforms became more common as well.

Introduction

Originally, I wanted to get this guide out before Harrow Prime’s release with The New War, but opted to go more in-depth than initially planned completely overboard, and ended up taking a break from writing it when U31 dropped. Since then I've worked on it gradually, and now here it is! - all 11 pages of it (what have I done).

One particular introductory note - Harrow is often referred to as a "selfish support"; he needs to chain enemies and score kills himself to keep his kit running, and to provide his health/energy restoration. If there aren't enough enemies around, be it from 'competition' with allies or low spawn rates in general, it can become a struggle to do so. While this can definitely be an issue at times, it varies significantly between different mission types and squads, and is generally less of an issue than it's made out to be.

Don't let it deter you from what Harrow has to offer! :)

Don't let the length of this guide deter you either - I've gone a touch overboard in the depth department here, but what his abilities do and how to use them is covered in the first 2 sections. The rest is all about build options, weapon choices, and additional guidance. Feel free to use this guide more like a guide book, and just look at the sections you're interested in.

The first section is a primer, for those that don’t know anything about (or are not familiar with) Harrow’s abilities.

Primer

Passive - doubled overshields cap (+1200 up to +2400), and 100% full energy at the start of missions (as of U31).

Starting off with his third ability, Thurible, his energy source. Casting it once begins channeling energy (at a base 15% conversion rate) into a charge. Casting it a second time (or running out of energy) turns the charge into a buff for 35s, shown in the UI. When Harrow scores kills, the displayed value is restored as energy to Harrow and nearby allies within 20m, which is shown by a ring of energy around Harrow. Headshot kills restore 4x the energy.

Next up is his first ability, Condemn. When cast, a wave is sent forward for 20m which expands horizontally as it travels, and chains any enemies it hits in place for 6s. Each enemy chained restores 150 points of Harrow’s shields, building into overshields. Enemies chained

So you pulled Squall’s Sync-3. Whatever. Time to beat Mote Ifrit with Instructor Quistis, I guess?

Soul Breaks

If you were around when Squall’s Burst-2 was the ice meta, you might remember that it draws from his Draw and Junction mechanics: he uses Command 1 to build up the strength of Command 2 (though if you recast the Burst, you have to rebuild up with Command 1 again). Squall’s Sync-3 draws from the same mechanics, though with stronger crit chance on the commands, and with links to stronger abilities.

For the Sync, each activation of Command 2 will build up both the number of hits on Command 1 and the self crit fix. Note that these are from how many times Command 2 is triggered, not how many times it is selected, so a doublecast will build two levels instead of one.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

TL;DR: Player with MC-Syndrome takes the role of the captain and bullies the group.

Also TL;DR: Don't pay GMs in advance.

The Cast:

• The GM - paid GM
• Kirk - the captain, self-proclaimed Gygaxian
• Spok - the pilot, my character
• Johnny - the mechanic(?), a play at Johnny Nr. 5, I think
• The rest of the Crew

Originally I signed up for a different campaign. It was going great and after some sessions (4 or 5) the GM offered an 1 month advance payment plan with nice discount for regulars. I took the deal.

Shortly after though (I had just paid), the GM approached me and told me, the group was too big (7 people) so he will move me to another group. Bummer, it was fun so far and these guy were great, although I do agree with 7 players beeing too much in general. As a kind of compensation he promised, the group only consists of veteran players he handpicked for something really special, so that I get my money's worth. In hindsight I agree, it was a special kind of desaster.

---------------- Session 0 ----------------

As the cast suggest, the GM was running a space exploration game, though in a homebrew sci-fi setting with tons of borderline magical technology. During session 0 i came to meet my fellow players the first time, especially Kirk.

Picking our roles on the ship, Kirk immediately went for the Captain. The GM inquired about Kirk's expertise as a captain. He immediately played the Gygaxian-Card, stating how he playerd D&D since the first edition and all that crap. Not that I cared too much, some of these gygaxians are horrible GMs or players. But the GM liked it and I didn't think any of it at this point. So we had a Captian.

---------------- Session 1 ----------------

Session 1 we do some basic dungeon delving and an abandoned space station and after we secured it, we split up to investigate some of the notable sights. The GM goes through every Crewmember, ask for one or two rolls and tells them, what they found and moves things along quickly. I was the last one in that order and my turn come up, but before the GM and I get to talk Kirk interrupts and yells though the VC: "Spok, REPORT!!!"

Well, i have patiently awaited my turn and since Kirk was in the same VC he obviously knew I can't report anything until I spoke with the GM, so I thought. I ignored him and asked the GM, what is there to report then? But during the GM's narration he interrupted again: *"Spok, come in! This is the captain speaking! Are you there? Answer the call!"

I want to thank BlueFishcake for the same reason as everyone else – it’s a treat to play in the SSB sandbox!

Particular thanks go to XaphOs (The Piano Man), HollowShel (Cultural Exchange), RandomTinkerer (City Slickers and Hayseeds), and UncleCeiling (Going Native) for their help, goodwill, craft, and encouragement. Without them, this story would stay in my head, and if you haven’t read their stories yet, I can’t encourage you enough.

Thank you all for reading, and for any and all comments. See you in a few days!

Just One Drop

Chapter Eleven -- Proposition

Ganya Ci’sano was not having her best day.

In truth, she’d never actually enjoyed Pre-Term, but this was a bit much.

Pre-Term Day ostensibly marked the beginning of a wonderful year for the student body. The cream of Shil’vati nobility flocked in to drop off their daughters, tour the wonderful campus facilities, enjoy the commencement address, and in the evening they might visit with one another and meet with the faculty.

In practice, it was a necessary evil, where Ganya spent the day wandering the campus calming a frazzled staff who endured being demeaned. Afterward, the faculty was privileged to sit under hot lights for a speech of indeterminate length, before meeting with a flock of nobles all preening for, at, or over one another.

In normal years it was mostly parents of the freshwomen, while older students were often dropped off by family retainers. Unless the speaker was exceptional enough to provide a draw, the usual turnout was perhaps five or six thousand parents. By the time the commencement address rolled about, the number could drop to four thousand, with families heading for home afterward. By the time of the ‘meet the faculty’ event, the number could easily be half that, generally covering a range from the keenest parents to the most dedicated Alumni.

This year the Alumni had booked Admiral Tei’jo, and by the last count, there were easily twelve thousand people wandering about the campus. Mavisti Reshay on the Alumni Committee was beside herself, which foretold a faculty meet tonight that would border somewhere around ‘insufferable’. At least the woman had thankfully disappeared for now, as it was her habit to attach herself to some noble or other, leveraging her position as Alumni Chair fo

They were cooked in Greece.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Thleekla was a xenologist of some repute.

He'd spent centuries cataloguing and experimenting on strange and wonderful species. He'd studied the Void Angels of the Tarantula nebula, who breathed its diffuse gasses, and grew for millennia beyond counting to reach the size of small planets. He'd studied the Mrin'lok people, smallest of all sapients, who burrowed beneath the surface of their dwarf planet to build amazing crystal cities in the ice. He'd made such a name for himself that he was given his own, one-man research vessel, and a great deal of discretion in choosing what to research, and where to do it.

He'd chosen an out of the way system near the inner rim of the Orion-Cygnus arm. A main sequence star, yellow, hydrogen burning. A few millennia earlier, a standard automated exploration probe had catalogued the system. The third planet out had an abundance of life and liquid water. No attempt had been made to catalogue the life, but no obvious signs of advanced technology were present. That didn't bother Thleekla, he didn't need something advanced, he just wanted something new.

Thleekla's mind dropped into the deep familiar focus that would create a gateway, and his ship slipped through it.

It seemed the residents of the third planet had been making some progress since the probe's visit. There were satellites, even some small manned structures in orbit. Nothing to be concerned about, but that species would probably be the best candidate for his experiments. He scanned the planet, selecting a subject that would not be missed, in an area with low population density.

Thleekla's mind again reached out to form a gateway, this time just a small one. The subject fell unceremoniously into a heap in the test chamber.

It was an ape. Bipedal, mostly hairless. It did have long black hair on the top of its head though. Two forward facing eyes, one nose, one mouth, two mammary glands, slender build. All of its features were oriented directly forward, more or less. Likely a predator. Nothing particularly unusual about it, except for the lack of hair. That was a bit of an anomaly for a mammal. Something to pursue later.

The subject stood and began making some noises. Possibly an auditory communication method, suggesting low or no psionic capability. It moved around the room, investigating the smooth walls.

Thleekla gave a mental shrug, beginning the scan. The subject seemed to have some sort of reaction to the scanner beam, screaming and holding its head. Th

Kiana Mickles in Resident Advisor 8.1/10 >FKA twigs' astrology-themed "mixtape" is an exhilarating crowd pleaser, proving that sometimes the best work comes when we don't take ourselves too seriously.

Rob Hakiman in Beats Per Minute 83% >The diversity of styles on CAPRISONGS would likely end up a disjointed mess in any other hands, but with twigs (and her stacked team) on hand, it all sews together brilliantly. It bounces back and forth from outwardly confident to more stately anthems of self-love, and even songs that might seem throwaway in isolation are key in sequence.

AllMusic 4/5 >The way Barnett shares tracks and experiences on Caprisongs makes it a more diffuse listening experience than her past releases, but it also brings a galvanizing openness to her music -- and suggests pain doesn't have to be her only muse.

Noah Ciubotaru in Exclaim! 8/10 >"pamplemousse" and "which way" serve as the purest evidence of the freedom achieved on this mixtape. These experimental sketches are delightful in their rejection of seriousness.

Kitty Empire in The Observer 4/5 >Caprisongs collates a set of more ephemeral pop tunes in which twigs broadcasts selfhood 17 ways, finding unexpected common sonic ground with artists such as Grimes, Charli XCX and Self Esteem.

El Hunt in NME 4/5 >After pouring her darkest moments into ‘Magdalene’, this varied and playful mixtape represents a moment of release, though it remains to be seen whether Barnett will head further into this direction, or enter a new album era recharged.

Hi all, I’ve been lurking here for a while as a person with COPD/Alpha-1 and I’ve seen so many queries from people regarding whether or not they have COPD or if their symptoms constitute COPD so I’ve decided to come up with a short synopsis from what I can see.

I’ll be speaking from a European perspective, but the broad strokes apply.

This is my perspective and does not constitute medical advice. My perspective does not take the place of your physician’s advice.

COPD is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It is characterised by 2 major conditions that can exist in isolation or in combination. They are; emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Emphysema is when the walls within the small air sacks (alveoli) in the lungs become damaged and break down due to chronic exposure to a toxic substance (smoke from any source for example). This reduces the amount of surface area your alveoli have and therefore impairs oxygen uptake and CO2 excretion. This is not a fast process, it occurs over years, even decades, not days to months really. Importantly it is a physical/structural diagnosis and can be seen on CT. Bronchitis on the other hand is a clinical diagnosis and is characterised a chronic cough caused by inflammation of the larger airways (left and right main bronchus [just beyond the trachea/windpipe]) in the lungs as far down as the bronchioles (the part of the lung just before the alveoli). COPD is characterised by chronic bronchitis, not acute bronchitis which is just another term for a cough/airway inflammation due to a chest infection. Outside of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (see below), COPD is thought to occur in those who have a genetic susceptibility (multiple genes involved / polygenic) to toxins such as smoke exposure.

A point of clarification is that the emphysema component is not considered reversible and it is permanent damage, but chronic bronchitis may be somewhat reversible to some degree with therapies.

A second point of clarification is the terms obstructive pulmonary disease can be confusing as people confuse asthma, bronchiectasis and acute bronchitis with COPD. Obstructive pulmonary disease or obstructive lung disease is an umbrella term for conditions such as COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, acute or chronic bronchitis etc. They are all different forms of obstructive lung diseases. **Asthma tends to affect younger people without smoke exposure and COPD tends to affect older people who have a significant amount of smoke e

Today we’ll discuss The Trolley Problem:

>Chidi and Eleanor tackle a famous ethical dilemma, leading to a conflict with Michael; Tahani confides in Janet.

… and Janet and Michael:

>When the neighborhood experiences a small glitch, Michael has to resolve the issue with Janet before it gets out of control.

You can comment on whatever you like, but I’ve prepared some questions to get us started. Click on any of the links below to jump straight into that chain:

>Chidi This is a thought experiment first introduced by British philosopher Philippa Foot in 1967. You are driving a trolley when the brakes fail. And on the track ahead of you are five workmen that you will run over. Now, you can steer to another track, but on that track is one person you would kill instead of the five. What do you do?

>Eleanor Do we know anything about the people? Like is one of them an ex-boyfriend or that snooty girl from Rite Aid who was always silently judging my purchases? It’s like, yeah, chicky, a Baby Ruth and birth control, I see the irony. Keep a-swipin’!

>Chidi You don’t know any of the workers.

>Eleanor Okay, well then that’s easy. I switch tracks. Kill one person instead of five.

>Tahani But this is hard, because the only trolley I’ve ever been on is James Franco’s ironic trolley. It travels backwards from his penguin grotto to his garage of adult tricycles. Um… kill one and save five.

>Chidi Good! But there’s a lot of other versions of this. Like, what if you knew one of the people? Does that change the equation? Or what if you’re not the driver, you’re just a bystander? Or let’s throw the trolley out altogether. Let’s say you’re a doctor and you can save five patients. But you have to kill one healthy person and use his organs to do it.

>Tahani But that’s not the same thing.

>Chidi Why not? It’s still choosing to kill one person to save five, isn’t it?

I have a problem with the Trolley Problem.

In all of Chidi’s variations, I do
