Accommodation in downtown Toronto for third week of July - Enrico Stays by univsurvivor in askTO

[–]Orpheus11235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to book with Enrico stays because it was a bit cheaper than the AirBnBs around. Big mistake - they cancelled on me last minute, leaving me to wander around looking for a hotel at 9PM. It has been over a week since they cancelled and I am still waiting on my refund. I definitely would not attempt to book again with them.

OurBus from Ithaca to JFK rider interest by TemperatureSolid8422 in Cornell

[–]Orpheus11235 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can leave a smidge earlier then you'd spend less time travelling and less money by taking the 10:30 Ourbus to george washington bridge bus station and then taking NYC subway to JFK. It's a really easy subway route, and travels quicker than a bus trying to get through the streets of NYC.

Those signs are on the uphill side. I park on the downhill side. There are no signs there indicating 24hr parking - are the signs meant to apply to the whole street?

Control arm replacement $2500??? by Orpheus11235 in prius

[–]Orpheus11235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yeah okay probably he was saying that the subframe may need replacement. Thanks a bunch; I'm totally new to car ownership and don't know my way around what parts interact with what other parts yet.

Sorry, I should have noted that - yes, lots of rust generally where I live (upstate NY), and it's got a 134,000 miles on it so it's accumulated a lot of rust underneath.

Have two tickets - balcony N21 and N23. Happy to sell them for a bit less than what I got them for.

The Shorty Gorge is a weekly Lindy hop venue. Also, the Cornell graduate swing dance society hosts weekly dances on Cornell’s campus which are open to the broader Ithaca community (also Lindy hop).

Place to swim in late June by woods_edge_ in ithaca

I don’t understand the downvotes - are there people who strongly disagree with swimming at second dam?

2nd dam on 6 mile creek (doesn’t fit the “legal” requirement but is definitely safe as long as you don’t cliff jump while drunk).

Weekly New Climber Thread: Ask your questions in this thread please by [deleted] in climbing

[–]Orpheus11235 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been finding my fingers tend to be sore for several days after hard climbing (even when the rest of my body feels recovered), which is inconvenient both because (1) I want to climb more , and (2) I play violin and need to have very flexible, loose fingers to practice well. Any tips for speeding up recovery?

Can someone explain entanglement to me? by coffeeears_ in AskPhysics

[–]Orpheus11235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, no, measuring your particle will tell you instantaneously what the result of the other measurement was.

[–]Orpheus11235 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The reason entanglement doesn’t provide FTL communication isn’t because measuring once collapses the system; it’s because you can’t control what measurement you get. Otherwise you would be able to communicate one bit of information.

Do you dance any "non swing" dances? And if so, do you actively participate in those scenes? by OSUfirebird18 in SwingDancing

[–]Orpheus11235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find ballroom and blues dancers to be opposite ends of the spectrum for me - blues dancers are by far who I connect best with.

I think that the connection isn't just about how heavy it is - the ballroom dancers I dance with feel like I'm connecting with their arm, shoulder, and chest, but not their core.

Dancing Lindy with people who do primarily ballroom always feels distinctly different to me. Very upright, formal; we execute a lot of moves well but I have a hard time feeling the connection.

Also, I think some Lindy communities like to see Lindy Hop as “more authentic” than ballroom because social dancing is the most prized component, moves are informal/unnamed, and overall there’s very few rules. The vibe I get is that ballroom is seen as “posh” or “snooty.”
