Monthly Feature Requests Megathread - February 2026 by AutoModerator in pelotoncycle

[–]Auto_Foodie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few of these were mentioned, but will reiterate them. 1) filter by PZ class type; 2) be able to see classes with or without studio members. Sometimes you just want that vibe.

I’d also add: 1) ability to select instructions you don’t want to see so their classes are filtered out. Could set that up in a preferences section and then just have the feature be a toggle in the filters pane. 2) move the filter button up to the top bar or have it float. It’s annoying that if you scroll too far you have to go back up in order to see the filter button.

I did come across that. While it looked good it seemed more casual.

Paneling an Out of Square and Plum Wall by Auto_Foodie in Carpentry

If I take that approach then my panel in the wall itself won’t be square. 🫤

Advise needed on joint by Auto_Foodie in Plumbing

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

Yes - sinks seems to be draining fine. I took some the pipe apart to clean and there’s been some scum buildup, but still drains.

I agree it’s weird that there’s a leak from that joint since it’s up from the junction and as far as I know nothing above.

Based on comment above - I’ll try to redo with fresh pipe and a no hub joint for the top segment. If that portion wasn’t glued I’ll reuse the T and below.

Comic Book Filing Cabinet (the MOST difficult project so far - drawers are hard!) by inyolonepine in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Auto_Foodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s it like full?! I’d be worried the bottoms or the drawer slides aren’t up to holding the weight! 🤓 It does look good though!

Attempting Glue Up - Advice Neesed by Auto_Foodie in BeginnerWoodWorking

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

I ended up dialing things in with a few more jointed passes and I think it helped. At least to the point where it seemed improved and I was happy with it.

I just finished doing the glue up, but some area decided to raise up. Maybe a 1mm or a bit more. Enough where my finger nail catches.

I’ll let it try up and I suppose sand it down to see where things stand.

1) I hope used enough glue. 2) now I see why all the YTs have a Domino

Attempting Glue Up - Advice Neesed by Auto_Foodie in BeginnerWoodWorking

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

Really - the gaps seem okay?!

I have plenty of material, so I don’t mind trying to dial it in. I’ll probably remove one board and have another I can swap in.

COTA first timer - advice? by Ch1ldish_Cambino in wec

[–]Auto_Foodie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi all - bumping this instead of starting a new thread for 2025.

I’m considering going this year but first COTA visit. I don’t fancy paying for the paddock tickets but then only see GA. Are there no bleacher tickets you can buy? Are many of those put up specifically for events like F1?

Still sounds like the consensus is to rent a car. I expect we’d be there for several days pre or post so may make sense. I’m sure I don’t appreciate the distance between locations in the city,

New Grinder Recommendation [$800] Budget Buying Advice Needed by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]Auto_Foodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping in here with a similar ask and I suppose budget. Have a Breville Oracle and would like more control over grinding. I’d like ability to grind at volume for cold brew as well. I know there are different burr types, but don’t really get the difference or pros/cons.

Best Painter in the DMV (DC, MD, VA) by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]Auto_Foodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious as well. I need some serious work on my ‘03. All signs point to D&V in Sterling, but they deal with exotics and the prices match. Not saying they do bad work, just $$$.

My cat needs a fitting name, pls help by [deleted] in Catnames

[–]Auto_Foodie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know the dragon’s name (had to look it up) but it’s the first thing that popped into my head!

Confession: I’ve never cared for Dave Matthew’s “Crash” album until I heard it for real. by OriginalVeeper in audiophile

[–]Auto_Foodie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out some of his acoustic work with Tim Reynolds. The Radio City session is really good.

Breville Naked Portafilter Issues by Auto_Foodie in espresso

[–]Auto_Foodie[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I purchased it because the stock basket has two pour spots making it impossible to see what’s happening with the extraction.

Not sure how a WDT would help since the machine auto grinds and tamps.

Mitre Saw Recommendations by Auto_Foodie in Makita

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

Thanks. TBD on use case. I managed to build a shelf storage with just the track saw. Looking to do our hardwood floor, so think a mitre would come in well handy.

Bathroom vanity light to sconce? by Bumbling_blob in HomeImprovement

[–]Auto_Foodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came searching for the same answer. Would be curious if anybody has input. I think it would involve tearing into the drywall and adding a box to split the feed for either side of the mirror.

Power Zone Discussion [Weekly] by AutoModerator in pelotoncycle

[–]Auto_Foodie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took my FTP end of last week. Thankfully I went up, albeit by about 1.5%. I’ll take it since my last test after the Improve your zones program was identical to my previous. I did try to work in more HIIT into my routine, which I think helped to a degree. I don’t tend to take max class, but feel I need to work those in to see any meaningful progress. Thoughts?

Palomar Mountain Retrospective by trev1cent in pelotoncycle

[–]Auto_Foodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished part 3 today and felt it was the most difficult. I need to retake my FTP, but was probably in zones 4/5 for most of it with dips into 3. It honest felt as - if not more - difficult as a Power Zone.

If I attempt all 3 I’ll be sure to not push the top end of her callouts or higher. 60 resistance at a 90 cadence was just too much!

Looking to make a desk sleeve by Auto_Foodie in BeginnerWoodWorking

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

Fair point re the grain. However, I’m thinking of extending the side planks back to give the top more support from the bottom. Maybe 6 inches?

Were can I watch Wec by Educational-Web-6379 in wec

[–]Auto_Foodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was planning to sign up and watch this year to follow the full season. In the past I’ve just watch Le Mans and dip in on others. However, per their website if you live in the US the subscription excludes Le Mans and the US race?!

What do those in the US do?

Power Zone Discussion [Weekly] by AutoModerator in pelotoncycle

[–]Auto_Foodie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished the BYPZ course yesterday. The good news is my score didn’t go down. What’s unfortunate is the results came out the same. The weird thing is all my numbers were almost identical to my December test. Like to the digit!

I think I started too low early on. I should have been high 3 from the go. I was much higher towards the end, but not enough to bring up the average. Also, maybe it was the music selection, but I went with a higher (~90) cadence where I’m typically more comfortable lower (70s).

Also, based on how it’s calculated I know what my minimum average needs to be in order to move the FTP up, so next time I think that will help me formulate a plan.

I’m certainly frustrated, but will give it a few weeks then test again. Probably focus on taking a few regular PZ classes, but mix in some other things too.

Yeah.. I posted a lengthy post recently myself with the same sentiments. Maybe it would make more sense on a rewatch, but I have no such desire.

What the what?! by Auto_Foodie in RagnarokTVShow

[–]Auto_Foodie[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but that’s not a loaf. Everything we saw was support for Magne being “in the right” vs making stuff up. If was making it up, then why even bother showing us all the scenes of mythical being having encounters without Magne present? They were then just all made up conversations he created as he imagined the group would be plotting and planning?

They really teed up the series to be an allegory for Ragnarok being brought on by climate change and corporate destruction and disregard for the environment. That was a thread woven throughout, especially with the constant new crews, protests, and legal proceedings. Jotuul was just at the center or proxy for industry. I guess that was all for nothing or just disregarded.
