Recently, many companies, including Apple, have changed their minds about making self-driving cars because they realized it’s harder and might not make as much money as they thought.

This change means they’re not rushing to make these cars anymore, leaving the job to specific companies like Waymo, Zoox/Amazon, and some in China, who might take their time but still aim to make money from it eventually.

Thanks 😊

I’m sorry to hear about your difficult experience and the impact it’s had on you. It’s obvious that this situation left a deep scar on your soul, and I applaud you for seeking therapy and getting sober.

I, personally don’t know you nor her, nor was I present when all this happened but I think it’s important to remind yourself that there are always two sides to a story. While your intentions may have been innocent, her perception of the interactions might have been different. It’s possible that what felt like friendly conversation to you was perceived as uncomfortable or intrusive to her. This doesn’t necessarily make anyone the “bad guy” – it’s just a reminder of how complex human interactions can be and how two people can interpret the same situation very differently.

Regarding your self-perception and fear about future relationships, it’s crucial to understand that one incident doesn’t define who you are or dictate your future. People grow and change, especially when they actively work on themselves as you have. Being sober and in therapy are important steps towards understanding yourself and learning how to build healthy relationships.

Regarding how she chose to handle the situation, it’s important to acknowledge that her actions, whether perceived as right or wrong, are beyond your control. While it’s possible that her intentions were not entirely good-hearted, focusing on this aspect might not be constructive for your own healing journey. You cannot change her actions or her perception of the events, only how you respond and learn from the experience. This is part of accepting the past and focusing on your own growth and future.

I want to stress, that self-forgiveness is a vital part of healing. Continually hating yourself for past mistakes is not productive. Recognizing your growth and the efforts you’ve made to improve is important. You’re not the person you were six years ago.

Finally let me tell you that everyone deserves love and the chance to enter into a healthy relationship. This experience doesn’t change that. I highly recommend discussing your feelings with your therapist, who can provide more personalized guidance and support.

And as last two cents: remember, growth often comes from challenging experiences. You’re on the right path by acknowledging the past, learning from it, and making positive changes. Keep moving forward!

I hope you find something useful in my babbling and wish you a wonderful day 🙂

My guess is most airlines have clauses in their terms and conditions that allow them to change the aircraft type without prior notice. Pretty sure their lawyers would argue that this is considered a management right for operational reasons.

But I’m no expert 🙃

I know perplexity.ai, but don’t think it’s “open source privacy respecting”

This is so freaking cute, it triggers my cuteness aggression! (👁 ͜ʖ👁)

I can’t stop watching this 🤣

I love this play of big things in small places. Awesome work.

And for the creation of this thought water was also involved; assuming this was indeed a showerthougt

Big beards can alter facial recognition and obscure expressions, making someone look more unpredictable or wild to observers.

🤣

Beautiful 😊

But depending on your current knowledge and future accidents it might be more useful 😉

😅 either this is the weirdest autocorrect ever or you had a stroke or I missed a joke 😅

true 😅, but if they don’t fall it will have been much easier 🙃

Angular momentum is a measure of an object’s rotation around a point (#spin) 🌪️.

Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path, always pointing towards the center (#holdingtight) 🎯.

One is about spinning momentum, the other about the force directing that spin.

In this example:

As you shoot the water jet at the skateboard wheel, you are continuously adding angular momentum to the wheel. This increases the wheel’s rotational speed.

As the wheel spins faster and faster, the individual particles in the wheel experience a greater centripetal force, pulling them towards the center of the wheel’s rotation. However, at the same time, due to the increased rotational speed, the particles also experience a greater centrifugal force (which is not a real force but an apparent force observed in a rotating reference frame), pushing them outwards.

At a certain point, this outward “force” (centrifugal effect) becomes too great for the material of the wheel to withstand, overcoming the cohesive forces holding the wheel together, and it starts to expand and eventually breaks.

This being said, I’m not sure if that’s actually correct what I just wrote, so take it all with a grain of salt (as one should do anyway when reading something online…)

Thank you 😊

Gifs are one of the things I missed most from reddit, so I thought I get the ball rolling by adding some gifs and hoping others will follow soon 😀

looks like he just surrendered to his fate

It’s so cute!

It looks like a 🐿️ to me. So I would see just grab one from the next tree you see 😁
