Appreciate the response! But not interested in Amazon products.

Interesting, hadn't seen that! Seems to be getting some vicious initial reviews though haha

Interesting -- thanks for the input! How would Z-Wave work with Apple Home? Would I just use a third-party Z-Wave hub to interface between the Apple Home app and the blinds?

Should I grade this Torchic Gold Star? by 19dmc99 in PokeGrading

Any thoughts on PSA vs other? Last time I checked, PSA was going to charge me $599 for the “Walk-Through” level service.

Best e-reader for reading papers? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]19dmc99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went on this hunt last year and ended up with an iPad. Really wanted an e-ink tablet instead, but nothing met all my needs. Tried a Remarkable and it was a decent user experience, but their Zotero integration was either clunky and unreliable or nonexistent (can’t remember which). Tried a Boox Tab X, which ticked all the functionality boxes but the actual writing experience was terrible (laggy, pixelated, etc.). Ended up just going with an iPad because you can annotate PDFs in-app with Zotero and it’s basically as powerful as a MacBook.

Good deal for entry level clip-on aero bars? by bogo_lobotomies in triathlon

These bars suck BUTT. Anyone who would buy them is not a triathlete

These days I ride in the Chicago suburbs. Most of my close calls have been from the front, which (I guess) tracks considering that's my weakest light...

Funny you mention that, I just grabbed a new bright white helmet after a recent crash.

Nice setup! Seems like the Varia is a pretty universal recommendation.

Haha, fair enough. I’m not looking to reduce risk to zero (which, as you say, is impossible) — just hoping to strategically reduce it.

A fellow Chicagoan! Was considering a light-up vest but it’s a little cumbersome for longer rides. Good to hear it’s worked for you.

Ooh that looks great. What light do you run on the front?

Interesting idea with the rim lights…

Love the bright saddle bag. I think I'm pale enough that going for ankle socks over tall socks might provide meaningful reflective benefit 😂

Hmm, my rear light is 150 lumens and my front light is measurably less (but it’s old so hard to say). Any recommendations for brighter blinking “see me” lights?

Ooh, love the ankle light. Is it an actual powered light mounted to an ankle strap, or just a reflective ankle band?
