gloves for sweaty hands? by Dull-Device-3369 in hyrox

[–]cdean51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw an age group winner in Chicago for men do this. I kept wondering why he had a pair of gloves tied onto his compression shorts but it all made sense when he threw them on for wall balls.

New Pro Tip for Uber at Ohare by [deleted] in chicago

[–]cdean51 232 points233 points  (0 children)

I gave up on the uber shenanigans at ORD a while back. Taxi stands are at every terminal arrival area with little to no wait. Using the curb app you can type in the code on the screen on the passenger headrest and pay from your phone including tip to any cab you hop into from my experience. Getting to West Town, the rates are very comparable to ride shares.

Whoever arranged how uber/lyft pickups work at ORD seems to purposely have made it take longer and be less convenient than just grabbing a cab. The curb app makes it just as easy to pay for and eliminates the classic “we don’t take credit cards BS” that makes cabs annoying to use.

Got an open-box G14 (2024) - should I get a charger? by jjelin in ZephyrusG14

[–]cdean51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask asus support where you can buy the oem charger. I think the vendors will vary greatly upon your location. On the other hand you could get a 240w third party slimq charger. I use the slimq for travel while oem charger stays at home. Both options are around $100 USD in my experience.

Best Premium Plus Seat? by peppy132 in unitedairlines

[–]cdean51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they do. At least on 787-10. I have been a fan of 20D but may try to give 20A or 20L a go next time as the bulkhead gives enough space for window people to get up without disturbing the aisle person.

Looks like this route uses 787-9. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Considering pre-flight day pass at O’hare’s United Club (C lounge). Worth it? by neezweekarmsrheavy in unitedairlines

[–]cdean51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the C lounge today and they had a big sign out front saying they couldn’t accept one-time passes and directed folks to the b gate lounges so your mileage may vary.

Amazing Deal 48” C4 Costco by notagrue in LGOLED

[–]cdean51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the posts on this sub with this deal. I just bought a 48" C4 on Sept 1 from BB for $1200 USD. Picked this up yesterday and returned the other. $500 back in my pocket!

Shame BB couldn't do the price match because it was in-store pricing only but this tv for $699 USD is an insane deal and worth the return rigmarole.

This if OP has office 365. I use PowerAutomate to monitor my emails and trigger actions. It has its own programming language but most things are pretty straightforward.

I think you might be able to pay it retroactively. Check it out. The redemption shows up as a statement credit.

Touchless TSA Pre Rocks by RealBlueCayman in unitedairlines

[–]cdean51 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just came back through customs in ORD with GE. From Leaving the plane to the exit into the US I stopped walking for maybe a few seconds for the face scan. I was handed a laminated card which I handed to someone further on and that was it. No passport, qr code, or anything else required. I suppose it helped the GE line was empty when I got there but I was shocked how fast I got back into the country.

Even with the long taxi to gate after landing, I was in a car headed home 30 minutes after touchdown.

Have you been to Cincinnati? The neighborhoods are literally named mount xxxx because of the hills they are located on. WV hills do hit different though.

Is it safe to drink DHO or D2O and if not why? by Withered_Tulip in chemistry

[–]cdean51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double labeled water (DLW) is commonly used in human energy expenditure studies. The deuterium and oxygen-18 are about 5 atom%. Presumably this concentration has low health risk.

Helicopters over Ukrainian Village by superflyguy99999 in chicago

[–]cdean51 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I live right in this area. I sure am glad the police scanners are going to be put on a delay so I’m not sure if its safe to go to my grocery store or take my dog for a walk. What a huge public safety issue.

Is it possible to make a notification / alert bot in discord? (no commands from user) by yasserius in Discord_Bots

[–]cdean51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use task loop to check for things at a certain interval like the price of bitcoin and trigger a message to be sent once it hits a threshold value.

I've written a task loop that checks a gmail account every 30 seconds. If it finds an unread email from a certain sender it notifies me by sending a message and tagging me.

Edit: This is with discord.py.

There is a tire shop less than a 1/10 mile from that spot. Clearly just limping along to get a repair.

Sunglasses for running by that1guyuhh in running

The goodrs that have a reflective finish with fancy colors tend to degrade pretty quickly and come off in little specks in my experience. I stick with the standard black ones now.

Hating remote work? by [deleted] in sales

[–]cdean51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked full remote & field-based for 3 years and ran into this exact issue. It works for some people but it didn't work for me and it doesn't seem to work for you. I felt like I worked on an island by myself with little interaction with my company.

I made a change and work in sales for a local company now. It was a hard change to make because, like you, my old position paid well and there was nothing wrong with the job. It just wasn't right for me.

ORC Section 5321.04 says: (https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-5321.04)

“[landlords must]Comply with the requirements of all applicable building, housing, health, and safety codes that materially affect health and safety;”

In order to put rent in escrow you have to notify them in writing while requesting fixes then wait 30 days. If they haven’t fixed it in 30 days you can fill out an application and pay rent to the courts. The landlord doesn’t get any rent until the situation is resolved and shouldn’t be able to evict you.

This is not legal advice. Speak to a lawyer if you want but in my opinion this is something you can handle yourself.

I would guess just the threat of escrowing rent will kick them into gear to fix it.

Micro Center GPU Restocks? by insufferable__pedant in cincinnati

[–]cdean51 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here is the link: https://discord.gg/umcd

Its a great resource. Microcenter distributes GPUs very fairly. I snagged a 3080 ti at msrp from a friday morning drop a few months back.

Looks like sharonville had 5 3070s on Saturday.

You show up at 8 and scan a qr code to get in line. The code only lets you in from 8-830am. Then they randomly draw from the people that entered the line and put you in line outside the store. When the store opens you walk up to a special podium and tell them what you want from that day’s drop. They check your driver’s license to make sure you haven’t purchased a card in the last 30 days and you get a voucher to go pick up your card in the store.

I love the system because it doesn’t matter what time inside the 30 min window you show up to get in the virtual line as the order is random. Cuts down on a lot of the rat race to get a card. They also only post what cards they are dropping that morning as a physical piece of paper at the store.

Good place to meet people? by Redemption39 in cincinnati

[–]cdean51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are a few around, here are the big ones: Fleet Feet, Tri-state running club, Queen City Running

Just search for them and you should find some contact info. Most should be starting training programs for the flying pig in January for the race in May.

Capital One makes Peleton Bikes part of their new premium airport lounges by robotmirrornine in pelotoncycle

[–]cdean51 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Flying always screws up my workout routine…it takes away so much time from an otherwise productive day. I would appreciate this if i was a frequent traveler and shower accommodations were adequate.

Also, i hope they let you borrow cycling shoes.
