    Studying Overcoming Troubles Studying in College

    Im beyond the videogame addiction phase. Videogames bore me when I play them too long. My problem is that I am depressed and have low-energy. I am a morning person so I do the most science-intensive stuff in the morning. I can be a genius for about 2 hours, and then I go back into tired-blond...

    House almost burnt down from electrical fire, wondering why

    Sorry about the hiatus. I haven't been feeling too well. Here are the pics of the burnt switch. It was a kind of gradient burn if I can remember. Lots of rubble. http://i.imgur.com/5ntC59Q.jpg http://i.imgur.com/myK6dYN.jpg http://i.imgur.com/NMSiPlO.jpg

    Best place to buy the best cheap motors

    Hmm, thanks for the advice. I shall start shopping on craigslist one of these days. That is why you should move here. Lawnmowers have more HP than chainsaws, based on my google results.

    House almost burnt down from electrical fire, wondering why

    No they had been running for a while. The electrician left the outlet but I think he either threw out the switch or used the same switch. I took a peek at what he was doing and the wires all seemed Fried on the side closet to the outlet. The coating of the wires that were near the wall were not...

    Best place to buy the best cheap motors

    I think you should move here because this is the land of free-roaming bicycles that may ride on sidewalks and roads. I wish you luck on your voyage if you decide to move here. I have also seen people riding ridiculous motorized contraptions on roads here, such as a motorbike with small wheels...

    Best place to buy the best cheap motors

    I am more concerned with the physics over the legality. In any case, it is legal for bicycles to be on the side walk where I live, but if need be, I can just ride it around in my parking lot until I speak with a legal expert.

    What is the newest installment of 'Random Thoughts' on Physics Forums?

    His statements were elementary. Try being a 150 IQ but getting a job where everyone is a 200 IQ and experts at astrophysics. Being a programmer may impress your friends but companies hire the best of the best in America. Being good, or smart is not enough these days. They hand pick the experts...

    Best place to buy the best cheap motors

    Basically, I am looking to buy some cheap motors. Basically, I am trying to build a small 1 person car that can drive on the sidewalk. Trying to find out the best and cheapest small motors. Preferably with a throttle. These motors would only need to move 250 lbs at 20 mph or 30 mph. I want...

    House almost burnt down from electrical fire, wondering why

    Ok. My electrician came and he said it was an overload problem. I looked at the box and it was a secure metal box. So that rules out a mouse. But I don't know how the switch could have overloaded, it had a shaver plugged into the socket but it was turned off, and the light was turned off. In...

    House almost burnt down from electrical fire, wondering why

    Electrician is coming on Monday, if all things go well. Typo I made. What I meant was, "I meant to turn it off."

    House almost burnt down from electrical fire, wondering why

    Hello. I entered my home to find that a light was on. I definitely did not leave the light on when I left. When I looked at the switch, it was burnt and there was smoke residue everywhere on the mirrors and a burnt smell in the room. I went to turn it on and there was a hot heat coming from the...

    Other Overcome Challenges & Become a Theoretical Physicist at 13

    Good for you. I had a similar experience in high school as well. I met a professor whom I enjoyed his classes and also altered my worldview. That being said, 90% of my classes were a waste of time. If you got a few gems from it, or found one good class, that doesn't mean that school in general...

    Courses Intro to Philosophy: Knowledge and Reality or Philosophy: Practical Logic?

    Both sound like classes that could be potentially interesting. What I would do is less focus on the class descriptions, and more focus on who the professors are going to be. Go to ratemyprofessor and see what the professors will be like.

    My advice is, school does suck, and most of the classes you'll learn do not help you and are a waste of time. My advice is, free your parrot to it's appropriate habitat, both of you will benefit. After that, you will have more free time. You can use that free-time to play physics based...
