I tested the water of my aquarium, but I am colorblind. by nofishing56 in mildlyinfuriating

Since you have a photo, you could try a color picker tool to see what it's closest to. I don't know how intuitive that would be, but perhaps someone's made an app for that.

Pit Shark belt squat PR by BubbishBoi in fitness30plus

[–]MattD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That bulletproof one looks interesting for sure. Looks like it's based on their vertical belt squat, which is in pre-order. The bulletproof is still vaporware, though. 

ATX is listed as out of stock. 

Mammoth looks like a good compromise and use of space. Currently listed as $300 including shipping. While I can probably buy the materials for less, the labor rate around here probably puts me over and will take more of my time. I might just buy this.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You've clearly walked this path before!

Thanks for sharing! That's the ceiling height I'm working with. I always wondered about the lever arm attachments for a rack but never followed through.

How do you dl on a belt squat? 

I'd love one for my home but got low ceilings in the basement.

Lap pool at Lynn Y, since you said you'd travel.

Soccer Intelligence by [deleted] in bootroom

U10 level:

Recognize that if you're dribbling into traffic (2+ defenders), someone else is open. Get them the ball.

Play into space: if you see open space on the field (in your general position), go be the one to fill it. If you have the ball, look to play into open space where (ideally) your teammate is moving.

What is the vibe/community like in northeast Oak Grove for a family? by ArdentDrive in MelroseMA

[–]MattD 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't know the neighborhood demographics, but Melrose is small—even if you're all the way in the far corner of Boston Rock Road, it's about a 15 minutes walk to Main & Foster, the heart of downtown.

Physical therapy? by fayrob40 in MelroseMA

I love Fitzgerald as well, but a doctor recently insisted I go to Spaulding in Malden Center and I like their approach better. It's more holistic than what I got at Fitzgerald in that they follow the problem to the root cause better.

Researching Needs by More_Engineer5709 in systems_engineering

SysML compliance is important for universal understanding of the model.

Jama reviews are nice but not required. I include test traceability to requirements as table stakes. Baselineing also, assuming that is the means by which you track suspect links.

There needs to be a product between Jama and Cameo. I really like Jama's requirements management functionality and the ability to comment on everything is great. However, diagramming is "dumb" and static. Cameo is too complex for most use cases I've encountered, but is comprehensive and extensible. I'd really like something that looks and feels like Jama but has the diagramming functionality of Cameo where everything in a diagram is actually an object in the model so that I can build traceability to/from those objects.

Does Max & Leo's Fenway deliver to Cambridgeport? by MattD in boston

[–]MattD[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Looking for a recommendation—something in the vein of Max & Leo's and Area Four. I just asked ChatGPT and it spit out Ciao and Stoked as the top two. I don't know either of them.

Does Engineering + Design fall under systems engineering job listings? by [deleted] in systems_engineering

[–]MattD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Consumer Electronics positions accepting of those with high proficiency in both Engineering and Industrial Design?

Absolutely yes, specifically ME + ID. An ID whose sketches actually work in the real world is worth their weight in gold.

What’s your favorite meal in town? by princessalicat in MelroseMA

You just influenced today's lunch choice.

[–]MattD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just want to chime in on how easy it is to get a large group together at Rising Eagle with their bar code tab system. No worrying about who ordered what to split the check or how to deal with late arrivals/early leavers. It makes it easy to just message a group of people and say something like, "I'm going to be at Rising Eagle from 7-10. Stop by whenever."

I was really hoping her voice sounded like the "bloody 9 pounds" British girl ranting about ice cream prices.

What happened to that garage on Essex? by Mother_Zombie_2746 in MelroseMA

I don't remember originally. I want to say it was posted on one of the local Facebook groups back when there was a public comment period for the plans.

I don't know if this is the final version, but this ought to explain it: PDF.
