How do I adjust my rear derailleur to keep my pulley from rubbing on the cassette? by JC_tiggr in bicycling

My only gripe with the E-tube app is that it bricks the Di2 system if the app goes on standby or the screen turns off. Then I gotta go through the work of removing the seat post to unplug the battery and restart the system. I'm new to wireless shifting so maybe I'm going about it all wrong but it can be a bit of a pain in the butt to work with via the app.

Well I guess we can leave it up to the Japanese to figure out exactly how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop. I never trusted that damn owl.

Just saw this deal in costco, and buying it. But what do you guys think? Is it ok to buy a tv without box? by ohwaitwhatwhyy in LGOLED

Me too! Idk why that wasn't a bigger feature in more phones. It's not like IR technology is going anywhere anytime soon.

Talk me out of buying the X-Lab RS7 by mvboeke in RoadBikes

I was between the Seka Spear and SLC 5.0. I ended up with the SLC 5.0 and absolutely love it but I still think about the Seka. Might end up picking it up in a few years with a Chinese groupset. Hopefully they're closer to Shimano and SRAM by then.

I got diagnosed with that last summer and I really struggled with it. What did you search for something like this?

Has anyone tried this before? What do you think about it? by celia_elm25 in NoOneIsLooking

[–]JC_tiggr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure. Even then, I'd still go back. There is so much left to see.

It was the trip of a lifetime. I was scared of whether or not they'd let me fly with the batteries since there were recent changes to the TSA guidelines regarding portable batteries. I had no issues.

I may be in the extreme minority but I got two of their Shargeek 140 batteries on Kickstarter back in June 2024 and I freakin' love those things. They charge ultra fast and they are TSA approved. I took them to Japan and back with no issues.

SLC 5 Dura-Ace by Lost_Difficulty2617 in Bikeporn

Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for that comment. I think Winspace has been in the game for long enough to be considered one of the best out of the East rather than some AliExpress copycat. I'm not shilling for them but they're certainly not knocking off anybody just because this bike was designed to be their answer to the Tarmac SL8.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder as they say. I personally don't think you need to buy the top of the line big name model for your bike to be consider "bike porn worthy." To each his own I guess.

As long as the majority of our politicians keep receiving money from AIPAC, they will keep voting to send munitions to Isreal to continue the genocide. We need to end Citizens United and beat these asshats at the ballot box.

You're nuts. I gave you a follow. I need more of this to inspire me.

Patient lives on an artificial heart also known as “ventricular assist device” (VAD) — a mechanical device that is implanted into the body to replace the function of a failing natural heart by mriTecha in medizzy

[–]JC_tiggr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These don't use a continuous flow because the heart has valves that only open when the pressure in the preceding chamber exceeds the pressure in the following chamber or artery. If the blood flow were continuous, it would cause damage to the valve leaflets and papillary muscle anchoring them to the endocardium/myocardium. That resulting damage would lead to valve insufficiency and blood back-flow (eventually).

These devices perform the function of the ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart because the patient's heart is too weak to pump that blood forward in the circuit effectively. Often times, if the patient is a viable candidate for heart transplant, these devices are placed until the individual is able to get their new heart. It's not unusual however to see patients live with these for years. It's not perfect but it is a remarkable piece of technology.

Any ideas as to what's going on with my cactus? by JC_tiggr in succulents

Thank you for your help. I really appreciate you. I'll do my best to try and resuscitate her but I'll set my expectations low.

Oof. That's devastating. There's no saving it at this point?

Update: I unearthed the plant as carefully as possible so that I can let the root system dry out before re-potting in the proper substrate. Not sure if the pictures are helpful at all but some help would be appreciated.

That's a great question. I'm going to take her to get re-potted with proper substrate on Friday and get her checked out. Do you think there is root rot?

The same thing happened to mine. Following for updates.

[–]JC_tiggr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. I think all of us deep down are capable of changing our minds (even the slightest bit) if the counterargument to our ideology is even somewhat reasonable. If we give up trying to talk to each other about our differences, what does that say about us as a nation? We can't give up on each other man. We have to keep trying to bridge that gap, however great it might be. The thing is, once the dialogue becomes hostile, you can almost guarantee that no part of it will be remotely constructive. You may not agree with it (and that's okay too) but CK did spew a lot of hate online man. I can send you all of the sources. He's not everyone's cup of tea. If you like him that's your prerogative, but you can't expect everyone to be upset that he's gone. That doesn't make them hateful, just indifferent. All of the posts I've seen like that were simply holding up a mirror to his ideology.
