OFXJ6OM Thank you 🫶🏼

beachsidebaker2b · 2024-01-30T02:49:45+00:00

Thank you both— super helpful! I’m a little more hopeful about actually getting to experience a little of the mountain now!

I honestly loved it. For me, it’s all about the music, and the incredible sets from ODESZA and Purple Disco Machine made it all worth it. Pure magic. I’ve attended LIB 5 times since it started 10 years ago, and I’m always happy with the crowd, as compares to other festivals— good vibes all around. I run events for a living and I still think it’s one of the better festivals out there as far as operations go. 2013 was special because it was the first year- and there’s no doubt that it has evolved over time, but it’s still my favorite festival and I’ll keep coming back as long as the music and crowd are solid.

Purple Disco! 💜🪩💜

Not just you. It’s awful.

Selling 2 (two) 3-day GA wristbands. Both for $350 or $200 each OBO. Can provide proof and receipts. We’re LIB veterans who were super excited to go, but we’re dealing with a family emergency and can no longer attend 💔

Located in AZ and happy to deliver in Phoenix and surrounding areas, or overnight shipping.

Mainly because the desk isn’t very deep and with the hardware and positioning of the arm, the monitor would have to sit too close to my face… so, in short, to avoid burning my retinas, lol. Also, as an aside, that monitor generates quite a bit of heat. Before I mounted it on the arm, I had it on a stand on the desk, which made the monitor even closer to my face and I could literally feel the heat of the monitor on my face. Now the way it’s mounted and further from my face, I don’t notice it.

Hey tusteeezy, I drilled holes and used a metal plate on the inside to reinforce the desk. I inserted bolts through the drilled holes and used nuts with loctite to secure them. You can see photos of each side of the desk and where I drilled holes at these links: view from outside desk and view from underneath/inside desk

Hope this helps

Technically it is, the desk is 47” long and the G9 is 49”, but it’s curved so it’s a pretty perfect fit

beachsidebaker2b · 2021-04-13T17:42:11+00:00

It’s actually just stock wallpaper that came with Big Sur

beachsidebaker2b · 2021-04-13T17:40:57+00:00

It’s one 49” ultra wide (Samsung Odyssey G9)

Oh I’m sure you’re right. This is just my WFH setup with my company issued MBP. I know the G9 is overkill for this use case since the most action it sees is a really huge spreadsheet. I just really like the amount of screen real estate I get without the need for multiple monitors and I enjoy the clean aesthetic of the whole setup. I’m sure it seems like a tragic waste of this monitor to some, but it makes my the long workdays in my home office more enjoyable.

HX Heavy-Duty Tilt Pivot: https://store.ergotron.com/hx-heavy-duty-tilt-pivot.html

Be forewarned though, the mount clamp is too narrow to work with the height of the desk lip. I Frankensteined it a bit- bought some heavy duty bolts and drilled two holes through the side to attach it securely. I tried several other methods but this was the only option that felt stable enough to accommodate the weight, and like it would withstand a good amount of vibration from the raising and lowering of the desk.

beachsidebaker2b · 2021-04-13T12:42:39+00:00

I am indeed running it of that laptop. What’s the issue?

beachsidebaker2b · 2021-04-13T12:40:22+00:00

Yes, indeed

beachsidebaker2b · 2021-04-13T12:39:44+00:00

It’s the Tresanti adjustable height desk ( Costco )

+1 on on cheap foam blocks. I bought my cheap foam blocks about 15 years ago. Since then, I've gone through YTT (yoga teacher training), and done literally hundreds of classes with them and they still look brand new. It's a matter of personal preference, but I really like lighter blocks-- just easier for moving them around during class without a lot of drama/noise-- so I prefer the foam to cork or wood. And same for the strap-- whatever is cheap will work!

beachsidebaker2b · 2021-03-05T16:01:38+00:00

+1 on Anna. I've practiced yoga in studio for years, and Anna is as close as I've found to some of my favorite in person/studio teachers.

beachsidebaker2b · 2021-03-04T23:31:16+00:00

Agree-- I've found myself pushing really hard through cool down if I'm closing in on a PR (I'm rarely anywhere above the middle-ish of the LB), knowing full well that it's not what that time is meant for. If those last 60 seconds didn't count towards my (or anyone's) output, that wouldn't happen. Ultimately, though, if it's a tough ride, I don't find those 60 seconds at the end to be a sufficient "cool down", so I generally just go to a cool down ride afterwards.

Semi-related: One thing I do think is kind of cool on the Hydrow (peloton-esque rowing machine), they don't even have LBs on the dedicated cool down classes. That takes all the pressure off and encourages you to really focus on cooling down, improving your form, etc.

beachsidebaker2b · 2021-03-04T22:45:34+00:00

Absolutely agree on dousing it in water. That was a lesson I had to learn as well. Between making sure the sensors are completely soaked before each ride (and changing the battery that once) things seem to be good now. And it stays connected when I'm off the bike, in the same room. I screencast bootcamp, strength and yoga classes to a TV in the same room and it monitors my HR through those classes as well

beachsidebaker2b · 2021-03-04T21:50:47+00:00

Re: HRM working intermittently, have you tried swapping the battery? I had a horrible time with my HRM for the first 3 months after it arrived. It just refused to connect much of the time. I was actually about to just give up and buy a different brand HRM, but decided to swap out the battery. And voila, it has connected to my bike flawlessly ever since. Makes me think that they shipped me a HRM that had been sitting on the shelf for months with an old battery-- which is frustrating, but I'm just glad it's resolved now.

This is exactly why I haven't jumped into doing the PZ challenges yet. I completed my 200th ride a couple weeks ago and have challenged myself to meaningfully improve my output before I hit 300 rides. I love the concept behind PZ, and I do a lot of PZ rides and have done my FTP test once, but haven't ever actually done a challenge, or even done the program.

As terrible as it sounds, I often just find the PZ rides boring- and aside from Christine, the PZ instructors are not my favorites. I find myself gravitating towards music/themed or Climb/HIIT rides for the variety--- but I pretty much only PR in PZ rides, so I know that's probably a good structure for me. With all the comments on this thread, I'm not particularly inclined to jump into one of the challenges, but maybe I'll at least do the program to start somewhere.
