  • The ground lugs are for a turntable, not a power ground. The audio signal from a record player is incredibly tiny, which means it needs more amplification stages (usually if you have a phono input, it has another pre amp stage). Because of this it is important that the turntable and pre-amp have a common ground reference to eliminate things like a DC offset or ground loop which would otherwise be amplified more than other audio artifacts from other sources.

    The strap looks like an antenna ground for an AM input












  • Most universities only provide academic records in the form of a complete transcript and you are generally the only one who can initiate that transfer, so if they are actually checking this they will ask you to provide an official transcript.

    At best, background check services might have the public graduation roles the University publishes but these are generally understood to be informal and potentially incomplete. I’d be skeptical that a company which cares about degrees would use that as a reliable source.

    The only times I’ve ever had to provide actual transcripts was for academic positions, and one time for a government lab.





  • Yeah I mean real life just isn’t a movie where the protagonist’s friends emerge from the woodwork and emphatically rally around them in the third act to lift them through their troubles. In real life, everyone is born alone, dies alone, and is alone for all of their own misery. You are lucky if you can find even a group of people who can passively tolerate you at your best, but expecting a miracle of emotional intelligence at your lowest is setting yourself up for disappointment.
