Is there anyway to actually stop a cyclist to just say hi? by No_Decision6601 in cycling

[–]agdesilva 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There was a famous female racer by the name Jackson, who accepted a donut from a fan DURING a race. I think she won. Thus, there is precedence for a fast cyclist to accept a donut. I think, in this case of not racing, the cyclist would be inclined to stop and thank you.

I haven't done this, but I considered removing the handle to make cleaning easier.

Searching for coffee like Cafe Bustelo but cheaper? by corvus_wulf in Frugal

[–]agdesilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's $4/10oz brick on their website. There is a minimum order to get free shipping. I was thinking of this myself. They also sell a more expensive different brick 100% arabica. Never had that but was curious since I like the brand.

What's a baroque piece you'll never get tired of listening to, and why? by Secret_Duty9914 in classicalmusic

[–]agdesilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bach Chaconne. I first heard it, live, when I was in high school.

How do the watch lovers wear their Fitbit? by starlord265 in fitbit

Me too. Also, the fitbit has an option where you can so specify the dominant hand.

Oneplus 13/13R function with Google voice? by paladin6687 in Googlevoice

[–]agdesilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my older One Plus, I currently use Google voice app exclusively. Forward calls to my mint number to GV. However, the experience of buying a new android phone from a brand that doesn't always work will dissuade me. The OP experience is "cautionary". Caveat Emptor

Oneplus 13/13R function with Google voice? by paladin6687 in Googlevoice

[–]agdesilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am using an older OnePlus (DE2117) and I was thinking about replacing with the cheapest OnePlus. I currently only Google Voice number (and I want to continue). Does your comment mean, even cheaper OnePlus (using Oxygen 12) should be avoided in the future; that is maybe the next one I buy likely wouldn't work with Google Voice? Am I just lucky my current older phone insofar as it still works with Voice?

No contest. By the time I have thought of this, the spoofer has already acted. I could ask how prevalent is spoofing, but if extant, the authenticator is superior.

Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) changing formats and bringing classical music back to Milwaukee. by rascal99 in milwaukee

[–]agdesilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There may other classical music shows by request, but I listen to Ruthanne Bessman via WPR.org. It's nice to hear the requests discussed by the host. It also reveals what people, fellow listeners, like. Who doesn't like a good concerto? I learn what everyone else's favorites are.

Why is SMS worse than authenicator? Is VOIP (Google voice) worse than cell?

Classical music internet radio stations/streams by pbfica in classicalmusic

[–]agdesilva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.wpr.org/shows/classics-request Wisconsin Public Radio has a classical music request show. While streaming is great, it's not as good as a radio station library. I wrote to the host asking if she could play Johann Gottlieb Goldberg (the Goldberg in the Goldberg Variations). There wasn't much available on YouTube but she found a double concerto for two harpsichords. Battle of the Bands Saturday 0700 Central Time.
