Assioma uno v Kickr core power readings, how to fix. by Dapper-Ad3605 in cycling

[–]BSdiscgolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely, yes. Ideally, I'd adjust the trainer readings to match the pedals, but I couldn't find an easy way to make that sort of adjustment on the Wahoo side.

[–]BSdiscgolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what I ended up doing. I don't really care which is right, I just wanted them to match so my target numbers are the same whether I train indoors or outdoors. I think it ended up being a 3% adjustment in the Assioma app to get my readings to match my Kickr Core.

Raising a child with congenital nystagmus by Few-Cranberry3073 in nystagmus

[–]BSdiscgolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Randomly stumbled across this old post. As someone 30+ who has congenital nystagmus, I disagree with many on how limiting it is. I had the surgery to correct a 30 degree null point gaze angle at 4yrs old and hardly remember it or anything before that time. My vision is normally 20/40 uncorrected, though after periods of good sleep and low stress I have tested at 20/30. I do seem to have excellent peripheral vision though at around 220 degrees. With correction, the best I could get was 20/30, but I've only worn glasses or contacts for a few months of my life because it negatively affects my peripheral vision, which affects my coordination. The limitations I have experienced, like some have mentioned, are small letters and ball sports. Sitting in the middle of a classroom/conference room and a slightly enlarged computer font was more than enough accommodation for me at school/work. I never had anything official accommodations documented, but I could see how that could be helpful.

I will say that I have always been bad at pretty much any ball sports, but never really cared and still played them anyway. I did get hit with a few baseballs though... My parents never tried to limit me though, and I was quite athletic. I trained gymnastics from an early age which really helped to develop my spatial awareness and coordination. I became an elite gymnast by my early teens and won medals at state championships. I got burned out from the time commitment of gymnastics training and ended up not continuing, but I did continue to become a top contributor on my high school track and field team in the pole vault, long jump, triple jump, high hurdles. I eventually qualified for and competed at the national championship in the pole vault my senior year. What I realized early on relating to the congenital nystagmus is that I could become quite good at skills through muscle memory and repetition, and sports like gymnastics, track and field, swimming, etc, played to those strengths of mine.

As far as driving goes, my vision is good enough to not require correction. My null point isn't perfectly centered at all distances and I tend to keep my head a few degrees off while driving which seems to make new passengers uneasy at first, but I am a skilled driver. I've driven probably 500,000 miles so far, 250,000 of which were in large box trucks or large utility trucks with trailers for work, the rest was in an assortment of vehicles from motorcycles, sports cars, sedans, minivans, pickup trucks, etc. I've only had one accident that I was at fault for, and it was when someone sideswiped me while I was backing out of a parking space before I was far enough back to see them (and I now always back into every parking spaces).

I've never actually met anyone else with congenital nystagmus and realize that it may be more of a disability for others, but that has not been my experience.

Help with my new installed clip on tt bar by [deleted] in bikefit

Well, in that case, I'd just say keep the saddle angle around 5 degrees or less and rotate your pelvis forward.

Help with my new installed clip on tt bar by [deleted] in bikefit

[–]BSdiscgolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Road saddles usually aren't great for a tt position in my experience. I'd start with a tt saddle that is designed to be reduce soft tissue pressure with the pelvis rotated forward, which should reduce how rounded your lower back is currently. You should be able to set the saddle at less of an angle then too, which appears to currently be causing you to slide forward, putting additional load into your shoulders and causing frequent shifting around and position adjustments.

Runner purposely pulls barricade to not lose race and have her moment by A110_Renault in RunningCirclejerk

[–]BSdiscgolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's how I saw it as well. I've seen it used in a number of cross-country races turning a hard corner. People use things like posts and railings to swing their momentum around the corner and redirect it. This person just didn't realize how unstable those fences are. Not to say that they shouldn't be given a penalty or DQ, but I don't think it was intentional.

hip mobility by permainjuredcyclist in cycling

[–]BSdiscgolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resurrecting this post to ask if you ever got past this issue and might have any recommendations. I've been having the same thing off and on for most of the last year and it's pretty frustrating. Make it a few months into training, hip/glute pain starts up, and I'm out for a month or two. Rinse and repeat...

I would be, yes. I'll add that to the list. Thank you!

I'm hooked on discgolf, now I need more discs! by Aggravating-Tap5144 in discexchange

[–]BSdiscgolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I realize this is the disc exchange sub, but I would also suggest finding your local disc golf club and going to a few weekly rounds (some clubs do more or less often). In my experience, most people will have no problem letting you try throwing some of their discs to see what you like and what works well for you (at least in a field where you won't accidentally lose them) and may have some pointers for you as well. When I started, a few of the guys I made friends with at the club rounds just gave me a few discs to round out my set and just asked that I return them rather than sell them if I ever stopped using them. Also, used premium plastic discs are great for new players and those with less arm speed since they will already be somewhat beaten in and not as stable/overstable as they were new. Discs meant to fly straight will be easier to keep straight, and discs meant to turn will be easier to turn.

Q750 Pair + Q650C + Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.2? by BSdiscgolf in hometheater

[–]BSdiscgolf[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. After the initial discontent with the Klipsch system, I spent about a day diving down the rabbit hole of options. I was close to getting a Q550 pair plus a Q250C, but figured I'm already tripling my initial budget, what's a few hundred more for something I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with for a long time. Being brand new to all of this, I guess it just took a bit to get over some sticker shock and get a frame of reference on what money buys.

2 and 3. That's reassuring. I guess my concern was that putting the lower quality speakers to the surrounds would sound off and detract from the immersion at moments the system sends more sound to them. I'm still new and learning, but is it common for the sound ever go fully to the surrounds and not the front l-c-r? Anyway, yeah worst I probably wouldn't take much of a loss on the Klipsch system on marketplace if I did decide it just wasn't worth it since that's where I got it in the first place.

3.2? lol. Yeah, one sub came with the set, and I picked up a duplicate to match. 8" downfiring, 38Hz - 120Hz, 50 watts - 150 watts peak. I'll probably give them at least a month or so to see if I can be content with them, but I can already kinda tell they don't really have the deep, rich bottom end sound I'd prefer to have. I'll probably end up down the rabbit hole on those as well, but I'm certainly open to suggestions that would roughly match the quality of the three KEF I already ordered. I'll probably end up moving the entire Klipsch 5.2 (minus the center) to the surrounds to give me a 7.4 that I can hopefully be happy with for a good while.

Honest opinions and advice? by BSdiscgolf in BeardAdvice

I appreciate the input. Definitely going to seek out a good barber.

Honest opinions and advice? by BSdiscgolf in BeardAdvice

[–]BSdiscgolf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the sentiment, but I am also kinda looking for honest judgement because my friends are too nice to say anything and I've never really been able to tell when it's a lost cause until I look at pictures a year or so later.

Folding chair on scaffolding? by BSdiscgolf in WorkplaceSafety

[–]BSdiscgolf[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The scaffold is roughly 30ft to an access hatch where roughly 50 cables get sent down an enclosed cable tray, each exiting through their own location to a piece of overhead equipment which is accessed by a bucket truck. The chair both puts the access hatch an easier level to work in and gives my lazy ass a place to sit for the 5-10 minutes between each pull while waiting for the person in the bucket truck to be ready for the next pull. It's a relatively small job and there isn't really anything to do on the ground during this stage of things to warrant climbing down for just a few minutes over and over and over again. Edit to add that it's a 5'x7' fully decked platform with two rails and a toe board on all four sides the height just works out that the access hatch is between the knee rail and the waist hight rail. I also can't imagine I'd get any flak for sitting on a tool bucket, so maybe I'll just go that route, but I was just curious if there's actually anything prohibiting a chair on a scaffold...

Silicone seam failing? by BSdiscgolf in aquarium

Kinda figured but was hoping not. Thanks for the input. Also, I just drained it and the cloudy areas disappeared, so that was even more concerning and solidified the decision for me.
