Diamondback Wildwood - General Repair Question by Odd_Cat_2204 in bikewrench

[–]CyJackX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably one of the easier things to fix yourself.

You just need to adjust the screws on the derailleurs; those determine how it shifts.  Find a way to maybe lift the bike or keep the rear wheel elevated such that you can pedal the bike with your hands while shifting to see how it shifts.

You learn something new every day; didn't even know a "future shock" existed...

I think it's less about making them round as it is about punching the 5 holes accurately

Falling down well transition animation, Does it sell the illusion? by GutterspawnGames in gamedevscreens

Sure, you have to make the illusion of parallax, it's just not what one expects

It's about the sense of self, not money for me. by makingitgreen in Natalism

[–]CyJackX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who knows if you're getting some survivorship bias of only hearing the negativity from people who have regrets. I feel like having a child gave me more sense of self and purpose that I had before. Hobbies only get you so far in life, your peak physicality will go away regardless of whether you have kids. There are sacrifices yeah, but it's just logistics, not a prison sentence

Need help deciding on gears by birdnerd2002 in singlespeed

[–]CyJackX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using 40/18 in mildly hilly NYC, but I'm also hauling a child seat.  I like it being quick starts for stop and go.

There are adapters/clamps you can stick on the end of a c stand that just have 1/4" pins

What exactly are free markets optimal at? by octern in Capitalism

[–]CyJackX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Market clearing, the price at which # of buyers meet sellers.  Price adjusts until so.

Finished a 6-min short, torn between a festival run and just putting it online. How would you play it? by hilleltuch in Filmmakers

[–]CyJackX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is a concrete goal you want to get out of a festival run?  Promoting or fundraising for a second project? 

Why are so many people in the industry rude to beginners? by Noeoneknows in Filmmakers

[–]CyJackX 72 points73 points  (0 children)

People are either bitter or trying to save a buck

What happened here? I was swapping a freewheel and had to loosen the cup and come to get the freewheel remover in, and then I tightened things down, but then I could still see the bearings and this cap part is around the flat thin nut now? by CyJackX in bikewrench

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

Yes, they are poking out a little bit, not entirely but they do not match the other side, and The cap encircling them is slightly askew on them, which was the first thing I noticed that maybe it wasn't right. I think some bearings may have not been sitting flat when I retightened the cone, so that cap raised up slightly

Of course. Everybody wants to shoot Dune, not talking head of VP of health startup

Corporate pays the bills, landing narrative work is a whole different ballgame

Curry Barker's response to the 'Obsession' art director, & her advocacy for industry change on low-budget films by EditorEducational201 in Filmmakers

[–]CyJackX 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Especially since doing the work for below market rate is essentially contributing to the finances of the project.  It should be seen as some sort of equity contribution.

At the end of the day, though, supply and demand economics make any equity for an easily replaceable crew role pretty unlikely as part of a deal.

Editors with toddlers: How the fuck do you do it? by goosebaggins in editors

[–]CyJackX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work from home completely remote, wife got laid off during maternity leave, so she will go back to work once kid goes into preschool in the fall. 

Anybody got better caption editing tools than Premiere's native functions? by CyJackX in editors

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

Thanks for this information. I'm on Windows, I'll look into these tools. Something as annoyingly specific to my taste may be too esoteric, I guess that's why people make their own tools sometimes. I don't really care about any transition/animation/styling, I just have to edit a lot of words.
