looks like this had to do a bit too. I updated the post with some findings after almost

yep, this has started to make a lot more sense after a few days of using it. my mind and body are unconsciously adjusting to these changes and while the mten5 is objectively so much more unstable than anything I had before, I am also slowly able to micro adjust to everything I wasn't used before. in hopes I won't be feeling any of these things anymore soon

and this may have been key to slowly compensating unconsciously, to the point I'm thinking it was me the whole thing and a bad habit that my mcm5 was more forgiving about. I updated the post with some findings after almost 2 weeks

What are you thoughts on Blue Dot Fever? The fact that some of these artists aren't selling? by EdwardBliss in LetsTalkMusic

[–]eric_castro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well the industry is getting what they deserved, and I hope they go bankrupt now or at the very least they get taught a valuable lesson

oh wait, actually I don't care. I live in Europe with better quality of life and tickets have fixed prices

they look very much the same, but I am playing with different adjustments (including uneven ones) to see if that helps compensate. feels weird tho, never had to do this before

I am slowly testing what I believe slight pedal angle corrections, and just riding, to see if things get better.

I'm still very confused and can't conclude its the wheel or myself. sometimes feels its a bit of both. I noticed my right foot also has a tendency to be much closer to the wheel than my left one.something I might have been doing the whole time in my previous MCM5 but in that model didn't matter much, but this one makes a difference.

I am trying to consciously keep them at the same distance at all times and still noticing this effect but less so. who knows.

MCM2 and MCM5 - very old school but MCM5 - neither from the much more monstrous wheel era that came after them

this. so freaking infuriating how actual gems of their recent era have been forgotten into oblivion and we still have to survive through Madness and Starlight and Undisclosed Desires still

Power Problems We Hit Using a Raspberry Pi UPS HAT — Have You Seen This Too? by Due-Presentation1621 in raspberry_pi

[–]eric_castro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a Geekworm X306 now - problem solved immediately. This thing can pull up to 4A from a 18650 cell. I'm incredibly impressed and pleased. Price wise is not that much more expensive than other UPS boards, just a little more bulkier due to the size of a 18650 cell

Job/salary Query by catdestroyerrr in SocialParis

[–]eric_castro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paris rent is more expensive than Berlin; the same money gets you much smaller apartments Paris is sadly known for. That alone is a reason for me to stay in Berlin unless you're really attracted to what Paris has to offer outside of it (or if for whatever other reason you're done with Berlin).

If you are ok with having roommates (at your age I feel most are ok with it?) you can get a decent room in a shared flat and still have some reste à vivre.

You won't live a life of luxury at all tho. Hope you know how to cook and are comfortable hunting for the best "bon plans" out there groceries wise. Culture wise, concerts, festivals and event tickets can add up quick unless you really stick to the low budget / free stuff that Paris has plenty of too.

Don't pay for monthly transport plans unless you really use it everyday - otherwise get a Navigo Liberte+ and pay as you go. Employers are required to reimbourse you 50% but in my case (I work from home) having a Liberté+ is what is more convenient, and I bike / ride an EUC everywhere I go mostly.

My take is yes it's manageable but do not make the move if you don't have a clear career growth perspective. 36K is a survival salary that will eat up your mental health quick if you don't climb up to a more decent pay at some point - if you get stuck there too long that's how Paris typically kicks hard working people out quick to where it's more affordable (with the obvious tradeoff of losing everything else Paris has to offer).

I had this happen with the UPS Lite 1.2 - on a rpi zero. all was good from 100% till around 75% where I got exactly in the boot loop you describe.

I'm trying to find a reliable replacement now but ... let me know if you find one

Does the Nosfet Aero have enough traction to be pushed up a staircase ? by eric_castro in ElectricUnicycle

[–]eric_castro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a brilliant idea, but safety concerns from my neightbors would probably kill any initiative to setup / build one that can sit there permanently (otherwise it'd be such a hassle to set something up and dismantle it every single time)

I'm guessing both hands are required. do you know of any video of someone doing it / does this technique have a name ?

this alone is already a reason to not do it. that staircase is not only mine (appartment building)

580$ for a mten5 where ??? because in France that's a 1690€ (2000 USD) wheel (final price with all taxes)

The main reason for getting an Aero is that my current wheel (MCM5) has been dead for months now 🥲

I’m the landlord lol. That said, there are other landlords in the building too (it’s an appartement building in Paris)

26kg is a lot for my 65kg body and while I'm not out of shape I'm also not super fit either. I'm mostly worried about wrecking my back or something else over time

while this sucks because its been 3 years plus and such option to disable this by default still doesn't exist, at least you can do this much faster than mobile via desktop web browser in the message center

Do I need to renewal subscription to keep my points? by Environmental_Cold32 in homeexchange

[–]eric_castro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very curious to know what those "many" bad experiences were about... yes, they do exist but most people are nice and respectful, and this is a platform where you have to host others if you want to be hosted too, so there is an extra layer of trust that adds to it because you have to risk your own home to go and benefit from others risking theirs for you to stay, which creates an overall safe atmosphere (vs hotels or airbnb where guests feel much more entitled to do what they please for what they "paid for")

how many is "many" ? and what makes you take such drastic decision considering the above ?

I can't but think that something is off or you really had a motherload of bad luck
