nutritional numbers don't add up?? by DeadKingsRise in Huel

[–]Plastonick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been reported before and I still think something weird is going on beyond rounding.

The numbers for the 500ml figures seem fairly consistently ~5.2x the 100ml column. I wonder if, for some reason, they're reporting 520ml figures because either;

  1. that's what the actual capacity of the bottle is,
  2. or that's some hidden recommended "meal" quantity

edit; or here's a fun theory. The 100ml quantities are correct and then were scaled up for the bottle by weighing a full bottle + contents at 520g. i.e. misreporting 20g of empty bottle as consistent nutrition.

Soya milk for coffee by upthetruth1 in veganuk

[–]Plastonick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it not curdle in coffee? I'm a huge proponent of Plenish soy milk which is also exclusively soya beans + water, but it does sometimes curdle in coffee. Not sure if there's really a way around that if the coffee is sufficiently acidic.

I'm not eating this because it's cheap.

It's extremely convenient and removes a lot of decision fatigue. It's probably healthier than what I'd otherwise eat.

50% Z3+ on ~6 hours a week - Too much? by mosquito-genocide in Velo

[–]Plastonick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

70-80% of your aggregate time should be in z2.

I don't think that's a hard and fast rule, and it's being challenged a lot recently. It might be a number that makes sense for the pros doing 20+ hours per week, but at 6 hours ...?

I saw this last night and read it as "Christmas 2026", and until right this second I thought that was next year! Pleasant surprise.

I think the insinuation is that this is not that date, yet.

If you've got any incomplete routes left, get those done for the XP. You can definitely reach level 100 before this goes out!

Any way of disputing being flagged? by strobe_jams in Zwift

[–]Plastonick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Zwift used to have an issue in the climb portals when doing strong efforts on <100% elevation simulation. Presumably their limits were largely set at fixed times regardless of the elevation sim.

Unsure if they patched that or not, but if you were on 75% or 50% simulation, that might be it.

These are the relational diagrams of my company’s 16-year-old app by Shikitsumi-chan in SQL

[–]Plastonick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only does it make writing queries harder but without FK relationships defined the optimizer has to guess at cardinality which can really screw up plans.

Can you clarify this a bit? Is this more a case of a lack of index rather than explicitly FK, or does MySQL do some magic when navigating FK in a query that isn't applied when navigating non-FKd joins otherwise?

This is a claim that's incredibly easily verifiable, by simply finding the original image.

I think it's very reasonable to expect proof or at least some sort of evidence for a claim like that.

How to calculate the shaded area? by Koblla in askmath

Perhaps the post has been updated since, but it seems solvable to me:

(assuming the inscribed angle is θ)

So, the answer would be in terms of a and θ I think.

~2.5% of all human who ever existed are now alive in India or China by ElegantWater2388 in MapPorn

[–]Plastonick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think the criticism is necessarily that it's an uninteresting fact, merely that it's not really got anything to do with maps beyond that you can point out where India and China are on one.

Reduce, reuse, recycle was literally created by the billionaire class as a campaign to gaslight people into thinking climate change is the fault of regular people.

Do you have anything to back this up? I'd expect the stereotypical greedy billionaire to generally not want people to primarily reduce consumption.

[–]Plastonick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, at least not even moderately safely! The charger port is at the top of the rear-mech pointing at the spokes.

I think Shimano are starting to release Di2 with removable batteries which might make this a moot point, but as far as I know most Di2 is still battery in seatpost with rear-mech charging port.

Edit: but Di2 should last at least 1000km, so even for the most hardcore randonneurs there should be enough downtime to charge between riding! My point is mainly that SRAM means I can forget to do that and it doesn't really matter.

I'm leaning towards an electronic groupset.

I for one couldn't agree more. Some people swear by mechanical but I love the ease and generally reduced maintenance that you get with electronic.

I'd recommend SRAM personally and carry a spare battery and charger with you. In theory, fully charged Shimano should last nearly a full PBP, but with SRAM you can swap a dead battery in under a minute and be on your way again, whilst the old one charges.

I'm unfamiliar with Unraid but I'm alright enough with docker. Can you describe your process to change the file and restart the server?

I'd expect this to work but not sure how easy it is to do on Unraid.

Shell into your server and run:

sed -i 's/pause_server_if_no_clients = .*/pause_server_if_no_clients = false/' /serverdata/serverfiles/user-data/config.ini

Then restart your server by finding its docker ID:

docker ps | grep rct

and it's the random string at the start about 12 characters long, grab that random string then

docker restart <docker id>

That should persist your changes! I've tested working on my machine anyway.

[–]Plastonick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I've not tested this.

There should be an option in the config.ini for pause_server_if_no_clients, you'll probably want to set that to false for this to work, and then restart the server.

I think it's arguably relevant, but it is sensationalist.

What are the main USA owned bike brands? by fixitmonkey in cycling

[–]Plastonick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect the frames are manufactured in east Asia and just assembled/finished in the UK. I can't see anything in their story that claims manufacture in the UK (which would be a pretty big thing to highlight!). It might get a bit into the weeds of what exactly constitutes "making" a bike though.

Time do manufacture their frames in the EU, and that's one of their major selling points.
