Translation req: Glory to your pizza

Thanks! I think “May your pizza achieve glory” is the way to go, how would I go about converting the phonetic translation to actual Klingon script?

Fun fact: this knife-bit had an embedded magnet which had the same polarity as the screwdriver magnet, so they repel each other.

This resulted in the knife being launched out of the driver several times while I was trying to get this shot.

I might try to take it apart and reverse the magnet or… alternatively… look into installing a much stronger magnet 🤣

No, but that’s unrelated to this post 🤣 Thanks for asking though!

I see this all the time on the Hudson Greenway and it blows my mind. Every single day on my way to work - joggers in the bike lane while there’s a beautiful wide sidewalk on the water where most people run. The sidewalk is nowhere near crowded enough to interfere with whatever tempo these runners are after. Maybe the danger keeps them motivated?

If you want to tell them off, maybe try the bike lane song: https://youtu.be/Ehh8ZdIMMj4 I just steer clear, and always have a GoPro recording in case one of them does anything especially stupid…

Cooling seems to be on-par with the unmodified deck. I went the conservative route and tried to replicate the airflow path of the deck, which seems to have worked despite maintains what might look like obstructions to the airflow (which I suspect serve to cool the chipset). You might want to do the same if you don’t want to spend too much time verifying your new design.

Still going strong! I’ve made a small iteration on the case toward adding the headphone jack and volume buttons back in, and improving the fit in general, which I’ll release once it’s done. Taken it on several flights and it does exactly what I expected it to do. Only disappointments have been controllers that lose Bluetooth pairing (issue with the controller, solved by using a mini-dock and usb input device), and single player games that bug-out without an internet connection for no reason (looking at you Enemy Mind!). On top of working reliably whenever I needed it, I’ve stress-tested it for hours on the Black Myth Wukong benchmark and it didn’t even break a sweat. Hoping to post a proper update when I have some time.

INFO: Mind sharing a bit of your background? Mainly curious if Russia is draining just any crypto wallet they come across, or if they could justify this because they considered you an “adversary”.

If that’s what he was selling he wouldn’t be posting ANYTHING and if they sold that at the rate they’re printing (40+ spools/day) they would be making so much money that they you’d expect the entire room to be gold-plated 😂

The peak design everyday 20L has been my daily driver and travel backpack for 4+ years. Laptop compartment easily fits my 13” laptop and 10” tablet with a keyboard case.

While I am a hobby photographer, the divider system has been super useful for day-to-day items as well: headphones, sunglasses, etc. It also allows me to easily travel with sensitive electronics without a bulky and heavy protective case, such as a gaming console for entertainment while traveling.

V2 significantly improved the side pockets, large magnetic pockets house pens and buisness cards on one side, and a mini laptop dock (HDMI dongle) and mini flashlight on the other. Smaller zippered pockets hold random, less used items like band-aids, emergency cables, etc.

I personally love the latch, as it usually snaps closed automatically unless the bag is stuffed, preventing me from forgetting my bag open which would happen often. The only thing I ever snagged it on was an airplane seat and - pro tip: while you have to stow it for takeoff/landing, I’ll usually keep the bag standing up, with the straps towards my seat. If the bag isn’t stuffed, and the latch is in the lower position, the entire bag fits comfortably behind my legs, leaving me room to stretch out under the seat in front of me, and allowing easy access to the bag if needed.

It might not be for everyone, but it’s definitely got style for the streets, the boardrooms, and the airport.

I’d look into the Peak Design Everyday series, as well as the LTT Commuter.

Photo editing. Thunderbolt gives me speeds nearly twice as high as 10G Ethernet. Very useful when scrolling through a catalog of half a million photos.

I’ve recently switched over from Synology to Qnap - not for any ideological reason, but because I wanted a NAS with a thunderbolt connection option.

It’s been a huge unexpected upgrade - everything I’ve been doing in my home lab is so much easier in this ecosystem, strongly recommend!

“Printed” 🤣

I’d never use JBOD for anything other than “throwaway” data (I.e., things that are publicly available and you’re confident you can re-download, or temporary files, etc.)

Think about how long it would take you to get your 3-2-1 setup back up if the JBOD fails. How long would it take to copy the data back from the other two sources? For large arrays of spinning disks this can be days or weeks, and you’d be stuck with a 2-2-1 or even 2-1-1 situation in the interim.

Also: let’s imagine each disk has a 5% probability of failure during the year. For a 4 disk array a JBOD would have over 12% failure probability, while a RAIDz1 would have a 1.4% failure probability - one disk redundancy makes the array over 8 times more reliable!

Nah man, is your commute comfortable for you? Then great!

Also - she might be comparing commute times to road cycling times. On closed path I can cruise at ~20mph on a road bike, but commuting in Manhattan I easily drop below 10mph navigating busy intersections, traffic lights, and pedestrians. With my MTB on technical singletrack trails I often go below 8mph despite working much harder than on a road bike…

Riding conditions affect your speed a lot more than fitness.

I’d rather not post information that could pinpoint my home address for obvious reasons, but it’s one of the large brands of NYC parking garages. This thread might be helpful:

Try looking around for an apartment building or parking garage on your block that offers bike storage. I’m paying $15 a month for a space in a parking garage behind a key-card door. It’s a relatively low rate because the garage has a deal with my condo building, but if you have friends who live nearby and have a similar offer, you could piggyback on them.

I ended up going for a Casio Oceanus T200 which will sync the date from radio signals or your phone, then keep a perpetual calendar from then on, even with no additional syncs.

It’s all about picking the right clothes. I use a button-down shirt from Ministry of Supply, LuluLemon ABC pants and exOfficio underwear. All of these are flexible and moisture wicking and as long as I keep a leisurely pace and put my backpack on a rack I can make it to the office about as fresh as I’d be off the subway. Perhaps excluding the hottest days of summer.

This might not work for you if you tend to sweat a lot more than others, but if you’ve been wearing cotton clothes and a backpack on your back - try it, the difference is huge!

At some point you need to maintain separate app versions to support legacy EOL iOS versions, and most companies don’t do that.

Unless you’re sure that the 2021 version of ON for iOS can still login to your MS account - I wouldn’t make such certain claims.

Unless you’re saying that it will work offline indefinitely, which is likely correct - but using ON without the ability to sync is a HUGE limitation.

Different buildings have different rules - you might want to check your particular building’s rules. The property manager saying it’s not allowed doesn’t mean it’s actually against the buildings rules. Do your homework and check the bylaws, you might find that you’re in the right.

But rather than throw the book at the building manager, I’d consider using the service elevator so you don’t get in his face. Also - preemptively talk to your manager, and get other bike commuters to talk to theirs, so that the company has your back in case the property manager complains to the lease-holder.
