I would pick... T. dohrnii's ability to physically revert to a child when life gets too stressful

if you could have any 1 of any animal's ability, what would it be?

mine would be the super loud "SHLOP SHLOP" sound dogs do when licking themselves

Being an engineer means being a professional and using correct technical terminology!

It is "Gas driven high impedance issues with the hardware."

Not " I forgot to plug it in "

To be fair, a lot of goofy-sounding rocketry/aerospace terminology has a legitimate nomenclatural role beyond just being silly euphemisms.

"Unplanned rapid disassembly", for example, exists as the necessary counterpart to planned rapid disassembly: sometimes a rocket is legitimately supposed to fall apart or blow up, so you need a specific term to emphasise that it wasn't supposed to do that.

Similarly, "lithobraking" was coined by analogy with aerobraking (shedding velocity via atmospheric friction) and hydrobraking (shedding velocity by landing in water), and it does have some intentional applications; the Mars Pathfinder probe, for example, was deliberately crashed into the Martian surface while surrounded by giant airbags, and reportedly bounced at least 15 times before coming to rest.

(That said, aerospace engineers absolutely do use these terms humorously as well, because engineers are just Like That.)

Reblog if it's okay to befriend you, ask questions, ask for advice, rant, vent, let something off your chest, or just have a nice chat.

Ooooooh!

No no!

That shit is HARD!

There is this weird insane idea that getting nothing productive done is the same as relaxing.

It is NOT. It takes ENERGY and ATTENTION. You tire out from it. This is where, you need help.

Not necessarily professional help but just someone else to help you break free. Help you starting out on something. Help you do something.

Doing the tasks that take over your brain first with help can then make others possible alone.

But you need HELP. And when you are paralyzed like this it is hard to make yet another task which is asking for help and explaining what kind of help you need.

So. When feeling somewhat ok, spend that ok time on talking with friends, family and partners. Anyone who can help you.

And talk about what the signs that you are freezing up are, and how you would like then to help.

Adjust these over time. It is a lifelong proccess of fitting your life and people to you. But it can be done. And it helps a lot, and it helps quickly.

Fellas how do you deal with this
