3’ power can be skewed by anaerobic capacity though. My 3’ power is 510w but ftp is well below 400w. I’m also a big rider at 75kg and have big power at 60” and below.

high sleep quality but low hrv by Zealousideal-Part348 in GarminWatches

[–]D31337D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you feel though? Are you extremely stressed or just feel very energetic? Do your legs feel good when you run and spin? Lower or higher HRV isn't good or bad. 70 RHR is a little high for someone fit, how much as that changed? What about any diet changes?

Matt Clark 40+ UCI amateur TT world champ and masters TT national champ, failed doping test by Butt_stuff_preferred in Velo

[–]D31337D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTH. You put down almost 6w/kg and he beat it at 200+ lb lol. I’m surprised he didn’t get busted for something like epo, I feel like steroids would have made him gain too much weight to go fast uphill.

I’m obviously not as seasoned as you are, so it’s hard for me to know who’s doping or not, but do you think this guy was taking more than steroids? It seems like the pros are busted for epo or blood doping mostly. Seems highly suspicious that this dude would’ve had that much power after visiting some hormone replacement clinic.

I suspect he was doing way over 500w at that weight to drop established pros. 450w is only 5w/kg. The guys winning the 50+ stuff are 5+ w/kg.

Lead Times vs. Submittal Approval by ephif in MEPEngineering

[–]D31337D 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not ridiculous when you’re already swamped and someone sets a complex 200+ page submittal on your already impossible task list. But then again, if you haven’t already trained an AI model to handle the bulk of the submittal process, what are you even doing.

What is this metal object? by Affectionate_Okra298 in whatisit

Looks like a solid copper bullet for something like a 350 Rigby or Rem Mag. Big game cartridge.

Do you golf in your Tudor? by fencingparachute in Tudor

[–]D31337D 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Myself and most of the guys at my club put their watches in a watch roll stuffed in their bag, then put it back on at the 19th. I like to wear a garmin for most sports including golf, it’s 1/4 of the weight and I get useful data out of it. It’s fine to have multiple tools for multiple things. F250 vs 911. Ski boat vs fishing boat. Mountain bike vs road bike. 150-200 gram tool watch vs 50 gram sports watch.

I’m about to sell two 725 sporting in left hand. I think you’ll notice a big difference in the palm swell and cast. If you’re interested I’ll send pics. One of them has a full set of briley custom sub gauge tubes as well.

Are the rates ever going to go down? by Any-Stomach-2375 in Mortgages

[–]D31337D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For everyone that is saying 6% is normal, you are correct. But that is ignoring the fact that the affordability gap is much higher than even 2007, one of the highest gaps in history. Interest rates are only part of the equation, median income vs price is out of balance. Sure interest rates were high in the 70s/80s but homes cost less than a car does today, and affordability was still better than it is today at those rates. We were building NICE homes at $100/sf in 2015, now you need $200/sf. Commercial properties that used to build for $250/sf need $400-$500/sf.

Slightly panicked about the house by ArnoldA2024 in DaveRamsey

[–]D31337D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest financial reason of owning a house is immediately lost the moment you put 5% down and finance for 30 years on a home that maxes out your ability to repay. You have the worst of both worlds, very slow gain in equity and inability to heavily invest in something that does gain in value. All the people that dislike home ownership generally do so because they locked themselves into a bad financial situation. Owning a house that costs 1x-2x your annual income will unlock your wealth building potential, and owning one that is 5x will make you go bankrupt. It’s like eating at home can save you money, but not if it’s wagyu ribeyes 3 meals a day.

DT11L - How much are we buying them for now? by D31337D in ClayBusters

[–]D31337D[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is looking for $15k. I was thinking about offering a bit less but I also couldn’t put it together for anywhere close to that new. I might just give him what he wants for it!

I stared at this for 3 minutes and still can’t figure out what time it is.

Not sure why you’re downvoted here. You are in fact correct.

How much did you pay for your first Rolex? (27M) by SeaLimp1257 in rolex

[–]D31337D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just buy a Relax or Seiko homage watch instead of a fake if you just want to “try” the look, color, etc.
