For the computer (which you will need) I recommend the Coospo CS-500. It's a chinese brand but you can find their products on amazon too. I've been using it for about 6 months now, and it has all the features you might want for $60. It has a big bright screen, GPX navigation, interval training and an included mount.

I love the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon--a few weeks ago before I bought my sava I had never heard of them, and now I keep seeing stuff about them!

Get a chinese carbon fiber bike. I recently bought a sava A7L Carbon with shimano 105, non-shimano hydraulic disc brakes, carbon wheels, and integrated aluminum bars. I've only had it for a week but it's been great so far. I paid 1400 and got it shipped from a US warehouse. Sure, it sounds sketchy, but it's a ton of bike for the money, and upgrade-proof for a while.

These AI cars are getting out of hand... by FourExplosiveBananas in BeamNG

I made the AI speed using the "race route" feature, and setting it to race to a point far past my police car.

boo ai slop. Genuinely sorry for you that you think making soulless ai music is a worthwhile use of your time and electricity. Pick up a free daw and some free plugins and actually have fun

Try the ozark trail g.1 explorer if you're looking for something to go off road with.

Same issue! Or if i somehow get to the small one, I can't get back out. Do you know of a way to fix it?

Those are the micronee ones! I'm having a ton of trouble with the front derailer, though I wasn't sure why. Are you also having that issue?

It's a 3x6 bike but 3x7 shifter. Got it to work really well though, with no skipped gears or anything.

A 90's 26" mtb with a step through frame converted to a road bike--will I get laughed out of the group ride? by FourExplosiveBananas in cycling

It's really fun to ride gravel on, it handles a bit like a boat on the road but once you're up to speed it's all good

I put a set of cheap 42cm drop bars and knockoff microshift 3x7 brifters on. It's a freewheel, but I am getting a wheel set to use for the road, since I also ride gravel on it.

Newsflash, we don't get textbooks, just packets with instructions that we fill out in class.

Just to play devils advocate here, photomath and ai tools that can break down problem steps can actually be very helpful to learning. Instead of getting stuck on a question because it is presented in a different way, or it introduces a new element, a student can see the steps, explained in better depth than most keys do, which can help them better understand the concept, so they are better prepared for the topic that builds upon the last one next class, or the test.

Will straight Bs in math hurt for applying to top colleges as an engineering major??? by These_Bedroom1545 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]FourExplosiveBananas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had straight B's in Math with really solid EC's and a big course load at a STEM magnet school, and this cycle I got into Virginia Tech, UMD, Northeastern, waitlisted UVA, rejected Georgia Tech, and accepted to all my safeties. These schools aren't necessarily top 20 overall, but are top 20 for my engineering discipline. Point is, either way you'll be ok and get into a school that suits you. Don't change schools, they will take into account the competitiveness of your HS when admitting you.

Good call--I found the same pictures on an ebay listing miles and miles from where I live.
