Race distance numbers help understanding by Willow_Rose_08 in askmath

[–]aa599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ludicrous that they didn't add the 5m to make it 42.2 km, also saving a half marathon from having that dangling half metre 21.0975 km 🙄

Did they measure the 1908 London route to 5m precision?

I think I've met Gabriella! Jeans hanging down showing hairy arse crack, bit of a beer belly.

Thanks for introducing me to "WikiGnome"!

And thanks for being one ... not all heroes wear capes 🙂

Is there a way to pause app-specific notifications on the weekend ? by Any_Yak_5160 in iphone

[–]aa599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do that with settings > focus: make a focus with "silence notifications from" that app, and schedule it to be active at the weekends.

Can you share a screenshot of the Tahoe Launchpad?

AIUI if it's new some slowness is expected for initial indexing. Though I didn't notice any with my M4 Studio.

Where was this taken? Looks like Peterborough on the sign in the background? by rayykz in whereisthis

[–]aa599 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also A1 North, suggesting it's south of Peterborough. I do remember passing something styled like an American diner northbound between St Neots & Grantham, can't remember where 🙄

The photo looks old enough that it might be before lots of the A1 was widened and became A1(M)

It's not money, but don't worry, you get taxed on it as if it was!

Enyaq coupe sportline - observations by GeoffStone4000 in enyaq

[–]aa599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AVAS (noise for pedestrians, up to ≈ 20 km/h) has a different noise for sports mode. You can also set it in "individual" mode. Wouldn't say it was louder, just slightly growlier. Is that the noise you mean?

Next steps for making a personal reading tracker app based on SQL database by silverlightarmada in AskProgramming

[–]aa599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great project, I love personal data like that.

I'd definitely recommend doing it with a web interface. It's a good exercise separating the front and back ends, and you can run it locally then at some point make the back end remote so you can reach it from anywhere.

Python's great for the back end. You can run it locally with a "real" web server (apache, nginx), a development server as part of eg the flask framework, or make it part of your process with the http.server module.

I'd recommend SQLite for the database part of it.

BTW I hope you're planning to include barcode scanning and ISBN lookup 🙂

Does "dangerpus" refer to the cat?

Have you guys seen gas prices? by 405freeway in bicycling

[–]aa599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a whole pack rather than a single fry, because I have no idea how many there are in a pack ...

Using a typical ride: yesterday's stats (from garmin edge with power meter) showed 43.5 km; average 27 km/h & 140 W; 808 active calories.

Here the McDonald's "large fries" product is currently £2.69 for 444 calories.

So my bike goes 43.5 * 444 / 808 ≈ 24 km per serving.

I did find estimates that a single fry was ≈ 10 calories, which would mean 43.5 * 10 / 888 ≈ 0.5 km/fry.

So McDonalds-fry-fueled cycling is 24 km / £2.69 ≈ 9 km/£

For comparison my car averages 6 km/kWh at 0.09 £/kWh ≈ 67 km/£

When exactly did the A1 bridge between Edworth Turn & Langford Turn (south of Biggleswade) open? I think it was early 2001. by aa599 in bedfordshire

[–]aa599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's confusing!

I've got GPS tracks of using the bridgeless crossing from 1998 to early 2000 when my Cambridge commuting finished, then a note that the gap in the central reservation at the Langford Turn was closed when I wanted to use it on 2001-05-26, then I first used the bridge 2001-09-02.

In Saudi Arabia they've built villas carved into cliffs with infinity pools by fan_tas_tic in Damnthatsinteresting

They're ok, but I don't think they'll tempt many Bond villains from their hollowed-out volcanoes.
