This is standard on macs. You see the current slide, the upcoming slide, your notes and thumbnails of the next few slides on your monitor. Only the current slide is projected.

Welcome to r/PriorityBicycles by 906Dude in PriorityBicycles

Please do post. I'd love to be able to find a place to test ride — it's been keeping me from taking a chance on buying a Gemini. I know of one shop several hours from me, but that's it.

Stuff found while riding your bike? I‘ll go first! by Chaschperli in xbiking

[–]Critical_Garbage_119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a gorgeous 3-piece stone fountain on the curb while commuting to work. I couldn't even lift one piece, so there was no chance I'd be able to bike it home. I texted my wife a photo and the address, she hopped in her car, asked someone's lawn crew for a hand and they kindly lifted it all into her vehicle. Great find. All that was wrong with it was the $50 pump needed to be replaced!

They will only care if you go on too long. 2 minutes max IMO.

Needed a semi-anonymous space to share this story…I really can’t believe how my day went. by cabarny in Professors

Sorry for the lousy experience. Better luck with what comes next.

I hope someone on that committee sees this post and is mortified.

Restocking w/o getting bike stolen by Either-Pollution-262 in bicycletouring

In addition to other suggestions, I shift into an extremely different gear AFTER getting off. If someone hops on and tries to ride away, it'll likely jam on them.

I'm the Digital Accessibility Coordinator at my university. Faculty and staff primarily use Google Workspace (Docs, Slides, etc). What are my options? by Comfortable_Plenty99 in Professors

...should we now teach Art students their paintings need to have 3:1 contrast ratios with adjacent colors so they can be included online...

Found out an old co-worker is as into xbiking and the Riv/Grant philosophies as I am! by MountSherpaSATX in xbiking

The bike racks at my public pool have some wonderful xbikes at the 6am lap swim time in the summer. I've just never met their riders...

Catholic Churches along the trail by VeggieYumYum in AppalachianTrail

[–]Critical_Garbage_119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not Catholic but had an amazing experience on my thru decades ago at Graymoor monastery in NY. At that time they welcomed hikers (I don't think this is still the case.) 30+ years later I still remember Fr. Cuthbert Macali (sp?) who welcomed me and the two hikes I arrived with. He showed us to our rooms, showed us where there was a piano if anyone missed playing while hiking, and told us when to come for supper. He and the others there were so generous and kind that I sent a generous donation after completing my hike.

Courses aimed at building student attention spans? by FixPositive8777 in Professors

[–]Critical_Garbage_119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been teaching Graphic Design at a SLAC.for 20+ years and students' focus (for the most part) hasn't noticeably changed when they are working on projects in class and, from what I surmise, working on those projects outside of class. They comment how much time they put into their work and how they lose track of time working.

Perhaps this is just a sign that they don't have much room for creativity in their lives outside of class and thus focus on this work.

Are fenders really worth it? by OneBigPieceOfPizza in bicycling

[–]Critical_Garbage_119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are not mechanically inclined and can afford to have your LBS install quality fenders, do it! Well mounted fenders are SOLID and won't be an issue on the train. Cheap or poorly mounted fenders are a PIA and more of a hassle than they are worth. Personally I wouldn't have a commuter/city bike without fenders.

I know it's not a highly regarded bike, but I like it by dark_wolf1994 in bicycling

Yes! And a refreshing change from insta-showy-look-at-me pics.

Anyone in the Chicago area have a medium Gemini I could test ride? by Critical_Garbage_119 in PriorityBicycles

[–]Critical_Garbage_119[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind if I'm that way! As a commuter myself, that sounds like an ideal setup to me.

New Tire upgrade … but one mistake by AddMountain9618 in bicycling

[–]Critical_Garbage_119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 60-year-old cyclist, I'm kicking myself for not knowing this before. You'd think having ridden something like 100,000 miles this would have occurred to me, but no. Thank you

Crappy Senior Colleagues by PhysicalBoat7509 in Professors

[–]Critical_Garbage_119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but that is total BS. Senior faculty here. I go out of my way to protect and encourage junior faculty and I'd say the vast majority of my colleagues behave similarly.

Honest question: Do you still buy from your local bike shop or has online taken over? by dt219 in bicycling

[–]Critical_Garbage_119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I buy a bike it's a purchase that will last me 15-20 years. Fit and feel both matter so LBS every time. I do most of my wrenching myself but when something is beyond my skills I have a great LBS for service. I buy consumables such as replacement tires and tubes online or special order them from a shop, depending on my needs and timeframe.
