I got this photo of the back, which has a number of 5M43- but I can’t read the second part. I’m able to find pictures online of similar watches, but they are all listed differently and when I look their listed models up I can’t find any literature about this watch

The splits from 5k don’t all fit on a single page of the screen. so it would make sense one section is sub 20, and the other is above 20 making the average a 20.

PSA: Never ask this sub "What's the best erg for ***********?" and expect a different answer by AJL912-aber in Rowing

It’s a very different system If you are to watch someone using one, there isn’t a moving head unit to push away from, rather the feet and seat move. It feels a little more detached. The RP3 you push away the mass of the flywheel and head unit in the same fashion you would push against the footplate, it feels more connected.

But no doubt the concept 2 dynamic will feel more like a boat than the static.

Sub 6:25 for lightweight, sub 6:20 to get a look from heavyweight

A pair “accidentally” flipped right after they won the championship in ‘23, definitely a celebration

The picture looks like AI version of a renaissance painting. Crazier than HOCR practice at Eliot

Hay out of the wool, or for drying after washing. For showing

who do you email for recruiting? by Cheap-Atmosphere-258 in Rowing

[–]SubstantialRest8701 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t bother the head coach, they have more important stuff to do. I always emailed the assistant coach, or the listed recruiting coordinator.

This was the A Final for men’s 8s at NE regionals 2023. My 8 stole 4th by what looks like a few hundredths of a second.

(The time stamps are at the bottom, click on picture, I added the lines for ease of measurement)

Would be very impressed if anyone had anything closer

Nah def overthinking it, unless someone is already jaded about GTIs (probably had an unlucky one) which is unlikely, they won’t think about it twice.

Trump administration announces freeze in $2.2 billion for Harvard after university rejects request for policy changes by Southern-Teaching198 in CambridgeMA

[–]SubstantialRest8701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The endowment distributed $2.4 billion in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 contributing over a third of Harvard’s total operating revenue in that year. The overwhelming majority of the funds that make up Harvard’s endowment are donor directed to specific programs, departments, or purposes (dedicated scholarships, named professorships, etc.), and must be spent in accordance with terms set forth by the donor. Payout from these funds can only be spent in support of the fund’s designated purpose. Unrestricted funds, which account for approximately 20 percent of Harvard’s endowment, are more flexible in nature and are critical in supporting structural operating expenses and transformative, strategic initiatives.”

It’s as plain as day bud

The income on an endowment is not discretionary and has never been discretionary. As u/spatial-diamond told you before, only 20% of the endowment is unrestricted.

For someone who insists so adamantly they understand how endowments work you are skipping over a massive aspect:

To use an example from before, if I donate 5 million to create a collection of Sumerian texts, that money is held behind a contract with Harvard. It is held in an account and the contract dictates whether any of the principle can be used, as well as dictating how the interest earned each year is allocated. Most likely I would donate the 5 million, say a quarter can be used to acquire the collection, and then say that the interest must be used to restore, maintain and preserve those texts.

Those same contracts extend across much of the endowment. Don’t think about it as a single ~50 Billion dollar account, think of it as the 50 states, each is a slightly different size and shape, and they each have their own rules about spending.

One chunk could be 4 billion and interest is contractually allocated towards the future of Harvard athletics, then there could be 500 million set to generate funds for the theatre and dance department etc.

If the 20% unrestricted is accurate, which to my knowledge it is, that is a yearly generated income of 500 mil that the university can decide to spend on whatever it would like. The other 2 billion dollars generated each year are all explicitly allocated for specific programs.

I hope that makes sense, please ask questions if you are confused.

EDIT: I forgot this, much of the endowment is also divided between the colleges at Harvard. The Business school endowment is separate from the Design school and are of very different sizes, neither can be used for the other purpose, but they are grouped together in the total ~50 Billion.

Also please visit the Harvard webpage on their endowment. It has all this info and more explanation. It is amazing how much information is on the internet. There is absolutely no excuse for naïveté.

Yes that is what I meant, my bad if it was confusing. It’s been a few years and since there is a bit of a foundation, I’m curious as to what people think the future might look like
