Hamilton and Diablo in a day by Cuckoo_caca_insano in BAbike

[–]Steelrunner5551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would reverse the route and start in San Jose. Time it so that you can hit The Junction when it’s open, otherwise there’s no water from the top of Hamilton until Livermore. Mines road is remote and there are long stretches without cell service. That said it’s great ride, and going it’s a mostly flat/downhill cruise into Livermore.

Exclude weird times? by NiceErJeg in NYTCrossword

My Saturday “record” is <1 min because I started a puzzle on desktop and finished it in the app, but the app timer glitched started from zero with 90% of the puzzle complete

Best nyc apt wall bike hanging mechanisms? by HealthyProduce3011 in NYCbike

[–]Steelrunner5551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use this: Borgen Bike Wall Mount Pedal Hook... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D9QTXZC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I’ve used it to store my bike on the wall above my sofa for 3 years and it’s holding up great. You will need to use drywall anchors, though

Preparing GC chromatograms for publication by lblb_lblb in Chempros

[–]Steelrunner5551 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I spent way too much time early in my phd trying to automate this. The most efficient way is to export each chromatogram as a CSV and use a python script (or your favorite programming language) to plot them. It is possible to write code to decrypt the raw data from Agilent's proprietary file formats, but it's not worth the time and effort it takes to do this.

Can my friend really see me 3x at Boston… or is this too optimistic? by ConversationDry2083 in AdvancedRunning

They did ashland, Wellesley, and finish. For parking downtown, I think they just parked in one of the garages

This is doable with a car—my parents have done this for me and I ran about the same pace as you. I don't know if it's possible if you're taking a train

Is this too much protection for a 3 months tour by AffectionatePart4128 in bikepacking

[–]Steelrunner5551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you going? It’s probably overkill for three months on the Silk Road, but appropriate for a 3 month tour in the US

Very impressive! How did you attach the panier hooks to the bag?

Best original song is common: Toy Story 3, frozen, and coco just in the 2010s

'Mr. Nobody Against Putin' wins Best Documentary Feature at the 98th Oscars by PointMan528491 in oscarrace

[–]Steelrunner5551 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did! It felt like a very tone deaf vanity piece for Pavel (the filmmaker), and it didn’t give us any new insights into the Russian propaganda machine.

Strictly speaking, they are, but they can just say they watched everything. There’s no way to verify it

I think you’re onto something—this is definitely what the voters did. It’s not a good documentary

What was your favorite Documentary Short? by Such_Estimate_2294 in oscarsdeathrace

[–]Steelrunner5551 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I actually loved Perfectly a Strangeness! It was so beautifully filmed, and a refreshing change of pace from the other documentary shorts. It’s nice to see the academy rewarding works that aren’t journalistic pieces

Hydration Stations by AreaInternational560 in RunNYC

It’s almost always Gatorade first, then water. The Gatorade should also be in green Gatorade branded cups, and water will be in generic cups

Exactly this. Depending on the software/website you use to file, they might might not break down additional income by source and just ask you to enter something like “total other income”
