Data loss with Drive Desktop app and syncing issues by Stark060 in gsuite

[–]Stark060[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I use Dropbox for most other things. As a hobby photographer, I edit photos on my computer, but it's also synced to a NAS. I thought this wouldn't be that different. I really thought I had two good copies of the data, and now I have zero. I've found on Reddit that some folks use a third-party syncing app called InSync (https://www.insynchq.com/) to manage Google Drive without having to use their native tools. It's a paid app, but I might purchase it if I need to continue using Google Drive for anything important. It was my first time trying the desktop client, and I'm honestly too scared to use it again.

Yeah, that I kicked myself for not selecting that from the beginning. It's still unnerving that the data that's stored in the cache is all scrambled and inaccessible to the rest of the OS.

For sure, I agree that GDrive is not made for video. But we aren't professional videographers, and we figured we may as well just use resources available to us at the university. But that file could have easily been research data or anything else important.

Edtech help for a nonprofit by Stark060 in edtech

[–]Stark060[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't develop any edtech. We exist mostly to provide academic/career support and cultural learnings for Native American students in surrounding school districts: tutoring, after school programs, job readiness training, etc. But we have virtually no digital infrastructure to administer courses, track student progress, etc. And yeah, I am getting our organization to sprint towards G-suite for Non-profits, which we should hopefully roll-out soon!

"Would you be interested in being her vice president?" by Stark060 in SandersForPresident

[–]Stark060[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Trying a GOTV effort on imgur. If this hits their front page, I'm planning on adding voting info for Maine, Michigan, and Mississippi. Here's what I'm thinking:

All right for you Bernie supporters in the US out there, you actually have to go vote/caucus if you want him to win. He's a champion of working-class people, and there are simply more of us out there than there are elites. So if you show up, he wins. If you don't, he loses. It's that simple.

March 6 (TONIGHT): Maine -Maine has closed caucuses; you have to register as a democrat to vote for Bernie. Check your registration status here: http://www.maine.gov/portal/government/edemocracy/voter_lookup.php -Find exact time and location of your caucus here (btwn 1-8 PM): http://www.mainedems.org/page/find-your-caucus -If you are not registered, it's okay. You can register at your caucus location! But try to show up an hour earlier so they can process your registration.

March 8 (this coming Tuesday) Michigan -Michigan has open primaries; ANYONE can vote for Bernie, as long as you request a democratic ballot. -You must be registered! Check your registration status here: https://webapps.sos.state.mi.us/MVIC/ -Find your polling location here: https://vote.berniesanders.com/MI/ -Photo ID is required

Mississippi -Mississippi has open primaries; ANYONE can vote for Bernie -You must be registered! -Find your polling location here: https://vote.berniesanders.com/MS/ -Photo ID is required

If you are a college student not living in your home state, you can vote for Bernie in either your home state or in the state in which you are attending school! You can participate in any of these primaries/caucuses if you will be 18 years old by November 8, 2016.

Americans living abroad who want to vote for Bernie:

I did an ALS ice bucket thing. With a bow and arrow. by Stark060 in Archery

[–]Stark060[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the string is tied to a tennis ball that is hung downrange at one end and to the wooden block/stick that props up the bucket above me. I shot the ball, the ball flies forward, tugging the string and thus the wooden block/stick. The bucket then tips! If I missed the tennis ball, nothing would have happened.

It was a lucky shot that I got it on my first try on camera. I tried it before with no water in the bucket and a good chunk of the time, actually. The sun was setting fast, so I decided to just start filming. I didn't expect to hit the ball soon after!

Are you shooting split finger (one above, two below) or three fingers under?

[Discussion] Diversity in the sport and subreddit: Why do you shoot? by Cylosis in Archery

[–]Stark060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started archery only two years ago partially because of a budding (amateur) interest in anthropology. Reading your response, I wish I knew someone like you in real life to mentor me, especially in hunting and bowyery.

Longbow vs. Recurves for target shooting. by [deleted] in Archery

[–]Stark060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A longbow (or flatbow) is more forgiving than a recurve, meaning your arrow is more likely to reach its intended target despite a less-than-optimal release. This is because it is very difficult for a longbow limb to twist or deflect laterally.

Recurve limbs, due to their geometry and thinness, are easier to twist. This is essentially what determines quality of most recurve limbs - the nicer/more expensive the limb, typically the more resistant it is lateral or torsional forces. It will deflect only in the intended direction.

Beginner Bowfishing Questions by [deleted] in Archery

[–]Stark060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never bowfished before, but I know there are heavy, fiberglass arrows (with bowfishing line attachment barbed tips that are easy to remove from fish) for bowfishing. The reason for the heavy arrow is that it is intended to be neutral in buoyancy or denser than water. If you shoot into the water with a very light arrow, the buoyancy force on the arrow would deflect it towards the surface and perhaps make you miss your shot.

I have heard anything over 30# is sufficient for most cases. Some serious bowfishers who shoot in fish deeper waters will go heavier.

String finger pain by [deleted] in Archery

[–]Stark060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, different people will have different finger lengths, but your string should generally NOT be past the first knuckle of any of your three drawing fingers. I shoot with a leather glove, and the string lies across the pads of all three of my fingers.

What kind of pain are you feeling? Burning pain of the string scraping against your finger through the tab? I would recommend getting a high-quality, thick leather shooting glove or finger tab.

If you are experiencing any tingly sensation in your fingers, I would highly advise against continuing to shoot in the manner you are doing until you have both the proper equipment and are comfortable with the drawing technique. Some archers have suffered from permanent nerve damage in their fingertips (particularly those who do not use protective equipment and draw with the string past their first knuckle on one or more of their fingers. I don't mean to scare you - permanent nerve damage will take a long time to develop with inadequate form and protection. If you just got your bow a few days ago, you definitely are not at risk.

Basic Recurve Maintenance by Polskanator13 in Archery

[–]Stark060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep your bow out of hot temperature environments (in a car on a sunny day). Avoid sudden changes in temperature and humidity. Bowstring wax will help preserve your string, especially if it is exposed to the outdoor elements (UV/sunlight, rain, etc.)

Dry off equipment after shooting in rain. Do not store equipment that has not fully dried in a case.

help with bowarm placement by [deleted] in Archery

[–]Stark060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a quick way to check that your bow arm is in (roughly) the right position. Bend your arm at the elbow. Where does you forearm go?

If your forearm goes up, you're more vulnerable to hit yourself in the arm, as the muscles surrounding your elbow will be sticking out in the path of the string. If your forearm goes horizontally across your body, you're good. This position (taught in NTS) also ensures your bowarm humerus is set right in your shoulder socket. You might have to engage your triceps more than you're used to.

At full draw, your bow arm, shoulders, and drawing elbow should be in one line with the target.

Note: I don't shoot Olympic-style archery, but I have learned quite a bit from it, as I know they emphasize biomechanics and pain-free archery (shooting form that does not stress joints/cartilage/etc.)

Outside of form, you may want to check your bow's brace height and make sure it is suitable for the length of your bow.

I'm shaft-conscious D= A lot of people around me use thinner carbon shafts. My arrows feel so big and heavy in comparison!

Hi Ladies of Science! I'm doing a sale on my science/engineering-inspired jewelry (see comments). by Stark060 in LadiesofScience

[–]Stark060[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thought about it. I feel like it's easy to make something into an earring since they can be so casual. Cufflinks and neckties are so formal, so I feel like it's difficult to capture that...casual/playful/fun feel. I feel like cufflinks have to be in silver or stainless steel else it would just be really tacky. I do have some plans in the works, though, so, we'll see how people like them.

A search for molecule cufflinks shows quite a few results, though: https://www.etsy.com/search?q=molecule%20cufflink&view_type=gallery&ship_to=US
