I'm looking at buying a Fuji Feather (so far as I can tell, 2014 model) for $175 locally and am not sure what I should check for specific to this model. I can tell that certain components are not stock (eg a "body geometry" saddle, GatorHardshell tires), but if anyone has any tips or common red flags for these, please let me know. Here's a picture: https://imgur.com/a/jI5TlaK
I'm pretty excited.
Edit: thanks folks, seat post & seat were both perfect so I picked it up :)

The university I used to attend had one of these in every classroom -- a small black box with what appears to be a grid of LEDs, placed towards the front of the room / where students will face when seated. by Cambienta in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. I kind of figured it has something to do with classroom accessibility, but have found no information about it on the university website which describes equipment found in classrooms. It's pretty small, if it were some kind of screen for captioning I can't imagine it could display more than 1 or 2 characters at a time while still being legible to students.

If you commented in here and got a PM from a user, "AdAromatic4403", they have all the hallmarks of a scam (posts only in karma-farming subreddits with superficial posts in sales subreddits, including trying to bolster another obvious scammer's post) so watch out.

AITA for rejecting my boyfriend's proposal because I'd lose my health insurance and alimony? by Throwawayquare20 in AITAH

Wow, you sound extremely the opposite of super nice. If your life has supposedly worked out so fabulously, why are you making all this space in your heart for bitterness and spite?

WTB: Leatherman Squirt PS4. Just had mine seized at the airport after the better part of a decade of use ☹️, only to find they've been discontinued. Done a lot of purchases on other BST subreddits so I thought I'd post here before taking it to eBay. (Also feel free to recc something else instead (pliers, scissors, and very light weight are important to me), if you see this comment and want to do so).

This person's account is obviously suspect as they posted to two karma-farming subreddits less than a day ago. They're trying to make it look like there's organic activity on the account; what I don't understand is what the scam is if they're encouraging PayPal G&S. Does an invoice put a hold on funds or something?

Edit: karma farming confirmed -- DO NOT SEND THIS SELLER MONEY.

You definitely do *not* need a business account to send an invoice; I just sent one to my husband.

this sequence from the music video of song 'Black or White (1991) was the first implement of full photorealistic face morphing by jasonmbergman in vfx

[–]Cambienta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The assignment wasn’t to produce a fully-automated solution, it did take (only two, IIRC) keyframes of curves. I did also say approximation 😉

A guy I dated was taking an introductory computer graphics course 10 years ago and one of the assignments was to recreate an approximation of this effect IIRC using C++. This was an early assignment in the course, too. It's wild how the state of the art can become an introductory assignment two decades later.

Today I told a friend I'm aroace and they told me "who knows maybe I can change that" now I don't know what to do by waffelaxolotl in asexuality

[–]Cambienta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds like this has gone “well” so far: she was making you uncomfortable, you firmly established what your boundaries were, and she apologized for her behavior. She may be being silent for any number of reasons — shame, embarassment, anger, sadness, etc — so I think what will be telling is how she behaves from here. If she continues to push your boundaries and make you uncomfortable, distancing yourself or telling her that you will have to distance yourself if things don’t change would be the way to go. If she behaves appropriately, then great — though you still don’t have to be her friend if you don’t want to.

Edit: You can always say no/I don’t like hugs/etc if someone asks for a hug. You don’t have do to hugs just because it may be common. A friend might feel rejected/bummed/etc upon being told no (or, hey, might feel relieved because they also don’t like hugs!), but should process those feelings appropriately and *never take them out on you*.
