    We tried a lot of techniques…

    Rigid schedules, no schedules , big feeds, lots of little feeds…nothing seemed to work. For one kid, he wouldn’t sleep unless he was next to one of us; one of the others wanted to be in the same room but not the same bed…

    But once they hit ~3 it was like a switch flipped, and now they all sleep with no issues.

    Not even close; even an electric car has far more wheels than doors. Every rotating mechanism is made up of wheels, some geared others with groves for belts to run in.

    Even just considering the ones that you see, there are tires and hubs which (for a car) means there are 8 wheels and only 4 or 5 doors. You could count the bonnet (hood) as a door and make it 6.

    But there are hundreds of wheels, thousands in an ICE vehicle.

    Well what the fuck is a machine language?

    Is is data transmitted between parties (machines) to convey information? HTML fits this definition.

    Do they mean machine code? Because some call machine code “machine language”.

    Either way the answer is D.







  • I don’t want to sound judgmental. I’ve never been in your position.

    One potential way to approach this would be to “bring the shelter staff on the juorney”.

    • Tell them as soon as you confirm the job.
    • Thank them for their support.
    • Explain that you will be getting some equipment, and that you will need to connect it to Ethernet.
    • Give them the great news, that you have organised housing for yourself, once that first paycheck comes in.
    • Let them feel yes excitement, at the prospect of getting some momentum in your life.
    • If they express concern, invite them to sit with you while you work, show them you are trustworthy.

    This is a people problem, not a technical one. People that run shelters, especially volunteers, a good people. But they likely have been burned in the past; they will not blindly trust.







  • For distance:

    • learn to do a 1m pace
    • measure your height to compare against other things
    • measure the length of your finger gun (mines basically 150mm)

    For temperature (for me):

    • below 6 think about wind chill and keep warm
    • 6-10 = warm jacket weather
    • 10-14 = pants and sweatshirts
    • 14-18 = great exercising weather
    • 18-22 = shorts and t-shirts or light sweatshirt.
    • 22-26 = very warm
    • 26-30 = uncomfortable
    • 30+ = sweating just walking around

    For weight, it is too dependent on your strength. For some, lifting a 20kg sack of flour would be to much, for others grabbing two 40kg sacks of cement per trip to the palet is normal.
