  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinusitis - see the illustration from that article.

    I've never found a diagram that gives a great idea of how the sinuses work, but between the various sinuses in your head there's a surprising amount of space. So all that space for holding mucus + constantly making more = a surprisingly large amount of mucus.

    Also, since mucus is gross I think we overestimate the actual volume because even a few mLs seems like a lot. If you started blowing your nose into a measuring cup it would take longer than you think to fill it up. Please conduct this experiment and report back with pictures.

It doesn't teach any science or engineering, but it teaches kids that science and engineering require mistakes and iterations, and it's okay if some of your attempts don't work the first time. Maybe it's my perfectionism talking but I think that's an important message.

  • This post is a little too vague to give real advice. You don't tell us what industry you're in. You don't tell us if the engineers are the end users of the software or processes you're working on, or if they will implement the software or processes you're working on.

    If they're the end users, they might be concerned that the changes you're designing are going to make their jobs harder. A lot of changes in the past couple decades aimed at "efficiency" have involved making people take on more work for no additional pay, then firing the administrative staff or other engineers who used to do that work. Even if that isn't the sort of project you're working on they are reasonably wary based on past experience. Or maybe it's not clear to you how this will make their life harder but management will find a way.

    If the engineers are writing the software that you are helping design, how are you helping to make their jobs easier and more fulfilling? It's an unfortunate fact that software engineers are sometimes treated like misbehaving vending machines that will produce software if you force them to. If they are writing the code, there's a very good chance that they know more about this process than anyone else in the room, but are they treated like they know more than anyone else in the room? Is their expertise valued or are they treated like roadblocks when they give their expert opinions?

  • When I got banned I tried to create a new account several times and used up several clever usernames which were immediately banned. So I gave up on having a Reddit account. Several months later I decided to try again, this time with a username that was just a random string of digits and using a brand-new browser. I think I was on a cellular connection instead of my home internet when I created the new account. For whatever reason it worked that time. Maybe the fingerprinting isn't as effective if you haven't logged into Reddit for several months?

  • It depends on the cause of your back pain so I agree with the people who said maybe see a doctor. Some people have weak back muscles so strengthening exercises help. My back pain was caused by tight hamstrings and overuse of my back, so I fixed it with a lot of hamstring stretches and getting out of my office chair as much as possible. My brother in law has a bulging disc so neither of those things would help him.

    Probably the biggest help for me was WFH so I could get out of my office chair - I can lie down, walk around, or sit in different chairs when I'm taking a break, and I take a lot of breaks. I stretch my hamstrings after most workouts so I'm warmed up. I bend over to touch my toes with my feet together for 90 seconds, starting gently, breathing as I relax, and slowly increasing the stretch a little as my muscles loosen up. Then I take a 30 second break, then I move my feet to somewhere width apart and do another 90 second slow hamstring stretch. Another 30-second break, then I put my feet about halfway to a split and do a other 90 seconds touching the ground. Then a break then as wide as I can go and bend over to touch the ground. I think the slow process really helps me relax.

  • My wife is like this. I just set her up with Chrome's password manager despite the fact that I'm a Firefox and Bitwarden user. Works in Chrome, on Android, and on iOS - she doesn't have to use Chrome on iOS, you just have to install Chrome and set it as the iOS password manager and it still works with all apps and Safari. She doesn't care if Google has her whole life on file and I'm not paid enough to care for her.
