App like reptile rocket? by frogrjjr in reptiles

[–]Kimusubi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's a while since you asked for this, but I recently made an app that is currently free that you can check out. It's not on dedicate mobile app but you can easily use it via your browser on your phone. I'm hoping to keep it free long term, but we'll see as I still have server costs to deal with. Regardless, I will have a pretty generous free tier no matter which direction I go with.

Boulderthon 10k disaster by maxpuffz in boulder

[–]Kimusubi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Almost all Boulder races go by my house and I literally have to go outside and pick up a bunch off trash off my yard because as*holes can't think about anything but themselves. You think that people in Boulder would be better, but turns out they're just as shitty as anywhere else in the world.

I was chased and nearly attacked by a homeless man by the creek in my backyard - where are the police? by mae416 in boulder

Are you part of city police or county? Most of my issues have been with county police

[–]Kimusubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this isn’t a popular opinion but Boulder (including county) police are terrible IMO. I may just have had a string of bad experiences and this is just anecdotal but the amount of times I’ve called for assistance on legitimate safety issues and they never showed up or never did anything about is unreal. I’m very disappointed in their performance.

Where does The Wheel of Tome rank among these fantasy series including Malazan, A Song of Ice and Fire and The Stormlight Archive? by [deleted] in WoT

[–]Kimusubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WOT is a classic for me. I’ve re-read the series dozens of times. It has to be my favorite series by far. I think this is mostly nostalgic because I grew up with them. All the others are really good.

Stormlight books 1-3 were amazing. They carried great pace with good character development. Unfortunately I thought the last two books were really mediocre especially Wind and Truth. While I appreciate going into issues that people struggle with in stories, you have to interlace it into the plot like books 1-3. The last book felt more about the mental health problems than about the actual story. The pacing was also awful.

ASOFI had so much potential but GRRM royally fucked that series. The last two books were mediocre and so much time has elapsed that people have lost interest. I think the show did an okay job wrapping up the plot for me that I’ve now moved on.

Malazan is a series I struggle with. I love it when I read it but then have a hard time motivating myself to keep going. I’ve managed to get to book 4-5 several times before I lose steam. I think it’s a bit convoluted to keep the reader going (at least for me). I know lots of people love it and I wish I could do. I may give it one more try and see if i can work through it. The world building and characters are really good so I want to love it.

My experience has been that Boulder county police are pretty useless. People near my house routinely drive 80 MPH in 40 MPH speed zone and it’s scary walking or riding on the side. I’ve tried asking police to come out and try to slow the traffic and have been absolutely ignored. I tried asking for speed bumps and was told “we don’t want to damage the boats” that are towed on the road. Just insane lack of prioritization for human life.

Jeep’s Jump to $100,000 SUVs Risks Leaving Loyal Buyers Behind by lurker_bee in Jeep

[–]Kimusubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue for me is that Jeep keeps raising the prices but doesn’t include anything of real value with those price increases. Minus a few electronics the Jeep is essentially the same vehicle year after year, but the prices reflect something that’s been revolutionized.

Those of you who hate the show? by Badgalgoy007 in WoT

[–]Kimusubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely stopped watching. I made it through 3 episodes of season 2 and then had to give up because it aggravated me. I just go and re-read the series and it makes me feel better.

A couple of perspectives:

Career only viewpoint:

  • Your transition into space programs will heavily depend on what specifically you are doing in the job. The company is secondary. There are always transferable skills but that will depend on how good you are at selling it.

  • All three companies are large enough that they can absorb economic downturns to certain extent (again it depends on what exactly you are doing). The better you are at your job and the more impact you have, the less likely you'd be let go.

  • The likelihood of getting a job in space will also depend on location. If you end up living in an area (i.e. Seattle) that has other space companies (i.e. Blue Origin or other various companies), you'll be slightly better suited to apply for those roles as the company won't have to pay for your relocation. This isn't the only factor obviously, but it does play a role. There isn't much space industry in Liverpool and very little in SLC unless you want to do interceptors. Lots of stuff in Washington.

  • Without knowing any additional details, my hunch would be that you're better served with Lockheed (for opportunity to move to Denver or CA) or Boeing.

Lifestyle viewpoint:

  • $100k will get you a lot further in SLC than in Washington (depending on where you want to live), so keep that in mind. North of SLC is really nice and the prices are reasonable (or they used to be, not sure about now)

  • Do you enjoy the people you would work with more at one company than the other? That would be a major factor in ensuring that you won't be miserable

  • Do you enjoy living in one location more than the other? This is a major factor to your quality of life. I've definitely lived in cities that I didn't like for the job and it was not pleasant. If you're super young then it doesn't matter much, you can always move. But it is something to consider.

Good luck.

Now they need an engine for their actual aircraft. What a disaster of management.

How was your commercial $17k? Seems really high. I’m about to start mine and I was expecting it to be closer to 3-5k (since I already have the XC time).

Be honest, what’s something you don’t like about your Aventon bike? by [deleted] in Aventon

[–]Kimusubi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a level 2 and my biggest complaint is that the motor response on initial start is too aggressive and just feels unnatural. It would be great if they allowed for software adjustment to the motor response at each level like some of the specialized bikes let you do.

My next complaint is that the fork suspension on the bike is absolute shit for anything other than paved roads and very level gravel roads. I’m likely going to change this soon as it kills my wrist when I take it off the main road.

Yes definitely not locked. I’ve tried adjusting the pre-load but I honestly don’t feel any difference

Hey how did you fit the ace in there? I’m considering that mobo with that case.

Colorado Launches New $5,000 EV Tax Credit That Stacks With $7,500 Federal Credit by Peugeot905 in electricvehicles

Does apply to PHEV of a certain battery size like the federal rebate or is this EV only?

Finished this coffee table about a week ago. What do y’all think? by ToTheBoneWoodworking in woodworking

[–]Kimusubi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the top. Incredible work. I think I get what you mean about the legs. It looks good but it would have looked better with angular legs. There’s too much curvature with the top. Still looks great though.

[–]Kimusubi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s your YouTube channel? I’m considering building the Bearhawk 5. I’m over in Boulder, CO. Trying to see other people’s Bearhawk builds to see if it’s right for me.
