    Writing: Input Wanted Cliffhangers in Fiction: Do Readers Prefer Hard or Soft Endings?

    Personally I hate hard cliffhangers even though they are a useful tool to get me to read the next book. I would suggest using a soft cliffhanger since they can make people more interested in the next book while not being annoying. In addition, if a writer uses frequent cliffhangers I am more...

    By the way, roughly 6 months ago I got the Johnson and Johnson vaccine and on Saturday (two days ago at time of writing) I got the Moderna booster, and this morning I got a flu vaccine.

    What Are Your Quirky Childhood Habits?

    There goes all of my ideas In all seriousness, I click lock on my car several times every time and only stop clicking once the car beeps at me. I do that since there have been a few times it did not lock even though I clicked the lock button. Also in videogames I always save multiple times also...

    Today I learned that it’s important to check to make sure you click reply and not reply all to an email sent to dozens of people. Now I keep getting reply’s from people trying to reply to the first email and instead accidentally replying to mine.

    Electronics Sites/companies used for electric parts

    Do you think it's safe to have bleach go down house pipes?

    I might get that for my job, my brother and I only work weekends and as far as I know we are the only ones who use draino so the pipes get clogged all the time (I work in a gas station that sells coffee and food that we cook). Not to mention I don’t think our draino breaks down the plastic bags...

    You could also try assisting in a classroom, I would recommend in an area that is known for having poor students because then it’ll give you a better idea if you truly want to teach. However, neither subbing nor being an assistant would help much with truly knowing what it’s like to be a...

    What is the Safest Rule of Thumb for Designing with a Safety Margin?

    As a general rule of thumb what do you guys think is an ideal minimum safety margin when designing something? I know that this is a very broad question and could vary depending on the situation (ie something on a static load may need a smaller margin than dynamic) and since I do not have a...
