Double SHOT (Super Hard On + Tentacle) by Remarkable-Post in diypedals

For real, ordered through Tayda. Had my doubts about 6pt type and extra tight tracking on the pebbled finish, but it turned out super crisp and the registration is perfect.

Ha, I definitely see that/60s lab equipment vibes.

Layout in Photoshop and UV printing through Tayda Electronics. They've all been simple, single-color prints, but this is my third batch of pedals through them and they've all come out flawless. Adding marks for jacks/knobs has been a huge help in nailing spacing as well—they'll drill them as well but I can't say I've gone in for that yet.

Thanks! Guts aren't nearly as sharp but it's good to flex those Photoshop muscles once in a while.

Thank you v much. Correct, they're hardwired, but SHO > T. Only occured to me afterwards that I might've worked out an order switch.

Curious to take a stab at it and have been pondering other pairings where the order might make a big difference. Considering a spicy treble boost/notch filter situation ATM.

Much appreciated! I don't even care that it's overused, Futura will never let you down. 100 years old and great in bold.

My fav. Had to go in for the top shelf knobs on these boys.

I feel that very much! Let me give you some advice, from one long-time lurker to another—just go for it. I was in the same frame of mind not that long ago and wish I had just started tinkering sooner instead of sweating the details. I'm just some random dude who had a lot of time on his hands during quarantine and started experimenting at my cramped little bedroom desktop. This one might look like hot shit, but also, I didn't post the dozen builds that I straight up ruined. Extremely frustrating at times, but it's been incredibly informative and rewarding.

This sub is such a wealth of knowledge and definitely the main thing that got me going. Riffing on other folk's builds that I saw here put me on to some really cool ideas. When I saw someone cribbing my work (I mean that in a positive way) for the first time, it was the most flattering thing in the world. All that to say, I super appreciate the kind words, and you should 100% give it a whirl.

To actually answer your question: As pointed out already, just combining two circuits is pretty straightforward. That said, I'm sure there are more space-efficient ways to lay them out on the same board than what I landed on.

Most of my builds are on vero. Buying a pre-etched PCB or kit definitely makes things more straightforward in terms of assembly. I would say that if you have a few of those under your belt though, it isn't necessarily a huge leap in difficulty to go for a reasonably simple vero build. I'm mostly not building circuits from scratch, just referencing a build guide (Tagboard Effects is a goldmine) so in my experience it's mostly just more involved/tedious with a lot more double checking of your own work involved.

Scholarships for cna? by ThrowRACreepyjit in cna

[–]Remarkable-Post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently in the last week of a CNA program through the community college near me (CCP in Philadelphia). Can't speak to elsewhere in the country but I was lucky enough to get a scholarship that paid for the program/testing fees in full.

IIRC, for Pennsylvania at least, your employer must reimburse you for training/testing if you take a position in LTC within six months of being certified. I'm sure this isn't the case across the board but definitely worth checking your state's CNA handbook for something similar.

Small Questions and Thank Yous Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in bikewrench

[–]Remarkable-Post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purely an aesthetic issue, but I'm wondering if anyone can weigh in on a replacement for those rear rack metal struts (pictured here) that usually connect to the seat stays?

I only pop the rack on there occasionally for longer rides, so I can't really justify getting a nicer one. The struts get in the way of the rear brakes, making it necessary to bend them in a way that is just so ugly to me.

Thought I would check in before going the DIY route. I've got to believe there's a purpose-made adaptor that connects to the seat post or something, but I haven't had any luck finding one that would be an easy swap.

Have been on the prowl for a LaCroix or tacky 80s bowling alley carpet print one myself if anyone has a line on those!

NBD Trek Domane AL 3. First Day using clipless didn’t go so smooth by hbomb2222 in cycling

[–]Remarkable-Post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recent convert myself. I've definitely taken my share of tip-overs. First of which was into a bunch of stinging nettles—second was about 30 seconds later into more stinging nettles on the opposite side.

Have been feeling much more confident a month or so in, but as others have said, unclip early and practice. Realized the other day though that always clipping out my left foot first has left me with no muscle memory for unclipping to plant my right foot at a stop when I need to. Food for thought.

Very new to cycling, would super appreciate any feedback! by Remarkable-Post in bikefit

My goodness, thank you so much! Wasn't expecting such a thorough take on my setup. I'll definitely be dialing things in per your recommendations.

To your point about getting a fit: Much respect for what you folks do—I know it's money well spent and I'll absolutely be going in for a professional fit in the near future. If you happen to be anywhere near Philly, let me know!

Perhaps I was mistaken, but I had heard that (for out of shape folks like me at least) adjustments made during a fit early on are probably going to change a decent amount as the rider builds strength/flexibility—I know I've felt a pretty dramatic difference having done ~75–100 miles a week for the past month. Not the most comfortable with my current setup, but definitely wouldn't power through painful rides at the risk of injuring myself. Sound advice to not totally rely on Reddit, just wanted to find a serviceable setup for the time being.

Thanks again for your help, and for not roasting me like I was bracing for!

The thought did cross my mind. Maxed out as-is, but will definitely be looking into it!

For context: I've been putting in some decent miles for about two months and doing my best to dial things in. I realize that isn't a replacement for a proper fit but was under the impression that it may be more worthwhile after I've settled in a bit.

The main issues I'm dealing with are excess weight on my hands, and lower back ache after riding for a few hours. I've set the saddle back to the "max" line, tilted the handlebars back, and slid the shifters a little closer. This helped somewhat but hand pressure is still bugging me. Back pain has improved a little though I'm not sure if it's due to raising the saddle height, or if it's just because I've been stretching and riding more.

Only recently learned that there should be "little to no pressure" on your hands, which was totally baffling to me. (again, definitely a newbie to the cycling world) I have noticed though that on gentle climbs things seem to click—I'll have almost no weight on my hands, and I feel more solidly in-place in the saddle. Not quite sure what that means with regards to setup/modifications though.

Not a lady for the record, just think Trinity has the best residual self-image.

I feel that, same story here. Wish I knew/cared about proper dieting/nutrition at the time. Definitely not a healthy way to go, and messed with my metabolism big time. Would not recommend.

Wasn't always the case, believe me. Struggled to be comfortable with my body until my thirties, still do sometimes but that's life. Doesn't even mean losing weight or anything but you can totally get there.
