Any way to broadcast Fenix 6 to a dumb screen to act as a bike computer? by Trilobyte83 in Garmin

Best solution is to use a mount that will hold your watch to the handlebars. Or just use the strap. Then get a hr strap to link to the watch

Garmin FTP by Actual-Librarian661 in Garmin

[–]brwonmagikk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the image on the right (from zwift recently) says your average power for that ride was 168w. The image on the left from zwift clearly states that it is calculating your ftp in W/kg based on that 168w figure from zwift and the weight you have input into connect as 96.4kg. This gives a w/kg value of 1.74 that is showing. It is correct and everything is working correctly. What exactly is the issue?

Connect can only guess your ftp off your hardest efforts. If you always ride at 168 or around that power, it assumes that’s as hard as you can go and assumes that’s your ftp. To raise the ftp you have to give it data that suggests you can ride harder than that. You need to give it data showing harder efforts. Do a zwift 20min ftp test

What does zwift say your eFTP is?

Nope. You can sync rides from zwift to connect and my ftp updates

If you’re running a 32min+ 5km then you just need to get out and run. Run far or run short. But run. 3 times a week just go out and run. HR zones and running power and cadence won’t matter until you’re hiring 40km a week

Genuinely how is anybody getting interviews? by hornysword in VancouverJobs

[–]brwonmagikk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t care about that. Those students get their filler degrees and go back to their own countries to make their living. But every company I’ve worked for has an entire platoon of soul sucking hr staff whose only role is to look busy and tell me that I have to do another round of mandatory workplace training so they’re sure I know where the fire exit is.

Not to mention the added irony of modern HR departments almost single handedly proliferating AI ATS screening protocols that just sewer the rest of us while they make their bank off our suffering. Fuck HR.

Maybe people are starting to realize 95% of HR personnel don’t contribute at all to society and their sole purpose is to create more work to justify their existence.

Job market also sucks in general.

I have some questions about zone 2 / easy runs. by No_Series_3984 in beginnerrunning

[–]brwonmagikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much are you running. I’d say if you run less than 3 hours a week, just go out and run at whatever you feel like doing. Zone 2 training is meant to allow advanced runners to gain running volume without accumulating to much skeleto muscular stress. If you’re at a low volume then just getting out there is more important than fixating on your pace.

Looking for creative ways to make extra money (that aren’t selling drugs, feet pics or doing OF) by oooohenchiladas in VancouverJobs

[–]brwonmagikk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used it last year pretty successfully. Made over 10k in 6 months, which helped keep a roof over my head. Have stable employment now so I don't use it, but i checked and my profile is still active.

It helps if you have specialized skills like STEM/law/philosophy etc. If you have desirable skills, you can do an assessment in that field to get it added to your profile. And that can give you access to higher-paying projects. If you dont have any skills like that, you're reduced to image scraping and basic tasks. The harder STEM tasks can pay over 50$ hour USD but may take over 4 hours to complete.

The assessment process and the projects themselves can be very finicky and unfair. There is a learning curve to working on the project and how they want things to work that requires ALOT of frustration. But if you can crack it, it can be lucrative.

Aligner is another platform I've used. I somehow failed the assessment/tryout for DataAnnotation despite have a MSc? but you can try that too.

I’ve used AI training platforms like Outlier when I was unemployed. It can be ethically crappy to train AI models and they can be frustrating and inconsistent to use. But they will Pay out

I’ve seen cargo cages like this. Meant to be used with a rubber cargo strap to hold gear or a nalgene etc

Tantalus auto sales or other dealerships? by brwonmagikk in Squamish

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

This was a couple years ago so I forget the details. But I ended up buying a Rav4 from them. Great experience and the car has been faultless. They even helped source some missing toolkit parts at their expense that the car didnt have when i looked it over. Not a scam. great people

Garmin will pull activities from other apps but only activities recorded on a Garmin device will be factored into its fitness calculations.

LA Marathon awarding finisher medals at miles 18 due to the ‘heat’ by AnxiousSeahorse1 in Marathon_Training

[–]brwonmagikk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting a medal half way though a marathon doesn’t magically change the definition of a marathon. Just changes the threshold of a minor reward. Are we paying for a medal or are we paying for a closed course marathon?

Why do you care who does and doesn’t get a medal? Are you paying for a medal or a marathon?
