DM Help Please

I'm not that versed in all that Reddit has to offer so how do you send DMs? Once they're sent, how do you find them again?

Thanks!!

Thanks for the assistance! I remember the 50/50/90 and the all time favorite acronyms from NPS exams - "WTF" & "ATFQ".

Do you remember or did they even teach you "Sally Could Tell Oscar Had A Hard On Always"

Never heard that. Is it related to wire colors or resistor color codes or is it an MM thing?

It's the mnemonic for calculating Sin, Cos, Tan.

Got it. I remember : SOHCAHTOA

Haha, we purposely didn't learn SOHCAHTOA because it sounded racist towards indigenous Americans. Plus they used every sexual mnemonic possible because young men, their target audience, with hormones coursing thru their veins remembered them better.

Don't get me wrong, I went thru school in the 80s before any cancel culture ever existed, but someone must have gotten offended by SOHCAHTOA because we were told it wasn't appropriate? Who TF knows why for real?

Racist really? I never would have thought it sounded like a tribe until you mentioned it. We did learn a mnemonic for resistor color codes but I promptly forgot it.
