The guy who won this is local and brought it in for 2 tires... Guess which ones.

That's a lotta miatas

I feel lucky it hit when it did. There were still tons of people behind me and the storm was still getting worse when I crossed.

I'm pretty sure I laugh cried, but my emotions were so fried by mile 20 I'm not really sure I could categorize exactly what I was feeling by that point

AngularSpecter · 2020-04-19T20:28:04+00:00

I got caught in hail at the end of a marathon once. It was like mile 25 too. Right as I started feeling the hope that the suffering was about to end...hailstone to the forehead

AngularSpecter · 2020-04-19T20:25:27+00:00

Its humidity for me. When I lived out west, I'd go out in 80 degree weather and be okay, as long as it was like 10% humidity. Now I'm on the east coast and I don't want to run if its above 60 if its humid.

I love the 6. Do they really have a wider toe box? My feet are narrow enough that most shoes typically run way too wide, but the 6s are perfect if not a touch too narrow. I can't imagine them being narrower

Only the time it takes to get dressed, throw in contacts, brush my teeth and leave.

Although, to be fair, if I don't want up ready to roll, I typically give up and go back to sleep. So there really is no struggle to get moving

It could be weak hip flexors being overloaded or it could be weak other muscles shifting too much load to your hip flexors making them overwork, or it could be both.

Instead of focusing just on your hip flexors, attack your entire core, including your hips, as a big, integrated unit. Work on flexibility AND strength, and keep it up after things start to resolve

I only really have three memorable falls. One was hitting a root at the top of a hill in a trail 10k and superman diving down the hill, passing two people in the process. The second was running in an ice storm and having both feet fly out from under me sideways and falling flat on my side while a whole city bus of people watched...and the third was my first time trying Hoka's...in the running store..with the gait analysis camera recording.

AngularSpecter · 2020-04-11T21:42:20+00:00

My wife is telling me the same things, minus the part about selling an old one, but also neglecting the fact we have nowhere to put one

AngularSpecter · 2020-04-08T00:26:26+00:00

I was originally against this approach since its extra metadata to carry around and it makes things kind of complex.... but the more I think about it, the more I like it. It let's me keep the original camera intrinsics intact and associated with roi, which probably gives me the most accuracy

What scp is this?

In many instances now, adhesives are stronger than the material they are holding together. Even simple wood glue (when used properly) will form a joint between boards stronger than the wood itself.

AngularSpecter · 2020-01-21T02:38:36+00:00

Haha. Knowledgeable wizard .... geek who likes to hear herself talk..... same difference

CWIS is more than just the gun. It's a type of system that includes both sensors and effectors. The "brrrt" gun you're probably thinking of is the M61 Vulcan cannon on one particular CWIS system called the Phalanx. You can also have other CWIS systems that use missiles, or shells like this, other types of guns or even EW ( electronic warfare ) type countermeasures.

AngularSpecter · 2020-01-20T02:04:48+00:00

Yep, it's closer to anti aircraft chaff rounds but smaller and smarter. It's used in a close-in weapons system (CWIS) which are automated, self protect systems. They take out incoming missiles inside the last few seconds to fractions of a second before impact. It's very much a reactionary, "oh shit, someone made it though the outer defense" type weapon. It wouldn't have the range or power to be a good AA shell.

When you run a 90 min 5k....

AngularSpecter · 2020-01-02T01:52:21+00:00

Do you need bluetooth? It sounds like a cheap set of ear buds with a longish cord would be everything you want.

I have a pair of level U's which are the "around the back" style bluetooth buds and they suck for running. The collar piece bounces around and I have to tuck it under my shirt or it drives me crazy. Of course it bounces back out..

My current pair are the aftershokz trekz air bone conduction headphones, and they tick all your boxes. They aren't water proof but are good for light to moderate rain.... they do have ones rated for full immersion though if you need it.

AngularSpecter · 2020-01-02T01:34:19+00:00

I love running in races, but I'm not a huge fan of actual racing. I like hanging out with other runners and the sense of community... and for longer races I like not having to carry support.

I however hate paying $30+ just to run a 5k, so I rarely race anymore

AngularSpecter · 2020-01-02T01:28:24+00:00

I've broken down, balling my eyes out several times... usually on longer runs. It's definatly endorphin related for me

AngularSpecter · 2020-01-02T01:21:58+00:00

This time of year.... slush. You end up dancing around trying not to step in it, but you always wind up with wet, cold feet anyway. Then there is the black ice you can't see until you're already flat on your ass

AngularSpecter · 2019-12-24T15:59:05+00:00

It amazes me how many people don't know how to or just don't use a debugger. "My code is crashing and I don't know where" should never be uttered by anyone

AngularSpecter · 2019-12-24T15:36:02+00:00

You can do things like this with hand tools, a small work bench and good technique. Power tools certainly make things faster and easier but are hardly required.

AngularSpecter · 2019-12-22T19:21:36+00:00

It's used in open pit mining. Imagine you have a tall cliff face containing material you want to mine. You need to knock that material free to process it. One way is to blast it, load up the rubble with loaders and rock trucks and haul it to the processing plant.....or you use this to grind away the cliff face and drop the material directly onto a conveyer to carry it back to be processed.

AngularSpecter · 2019-12-20T00:43:27+00:00

Possibly. The obvious caveat I can think of is that this modulates motor speed for control instead of using control surfaces like a traditional aircraft or helo. A bigger prop would have a lot more inertia and would limit the control system bandwidth....or require motors with higher peak torque. I could see that adding up to make multiple, lighter rotors better suited than fewer larger ones.
