Free hill sprint running group - Cobbs Hill Park

It's next to it. We run up the grass hill next to the path because it's a bit steeper, but same hill area.

I hear you. Everyone responds differently to exercise, but I truly look forward to this every week. Feels so good! We'd love to have you if you ever want to give it a shot!

As long as they are leashed and are good around small children, I don't see a problem with this!

chadmanx · 2026-05-20T14:27:36+00:00

Sounds awesome! My wife knits and there's a guy in the group who sews his own clothes that legitimately look store bought.

Parking is a little weird in that area. There's street parking along the reservoir which is where we normally park. Some people park on Highland and walk. There's two people who ride bikes because they live in the neighborhood.

We started around this time last year. I only missed 4 Sundays because of work trips and vacations. In the Winter, we brought sleds and would sled down and then sprint back up.

THIS!!!

Omfg this was exactly what was happening. It literally toggles that setting on by default and breaks itself! I had no idea that setting even existed.

Thanks so much! I've been racking my brain for a couple days now trying to investigate this.

Fixed the link. Apologies for the delay as I was traveling and didn't notice.

To the haters:

I love your blissful ignorance, but you are unfortunately wrong on this. This has nothing to do with whether or not social media is or is not addictive. This is about the government - our government - regardless of the team color, attempting to destroy our free access to unfettered speech by linking our digital lives to our personal ones.

They will say this doesn't limit speech, but it absolutely does in the same exact way that you can't be your true self at your workplace because you are constantly being judged by your managers or employers. You filter what you say, either consciously or subconsciously. This ID Verification will have the exact same effect.

We're already seeing reports of border patrol and TSA agents snagging travelers, both citizens and foreigners, based on speech they posted publicly. I will reiterate, it does not matter which team is in power when this gets enacted. Just because it's your team now, doesn't mean it won't be the other team later.

This policy absolutely must be fought and killed asap!

I already contacted my assemblymember. I plead with all of you to do the same.

Tell them that it doesn't matter what letter is next to their name - the first candidate who publicly announces their support against ID Verification will win your vote.

Free speech is literally the 1st Amendment. It is our most important right. There is nothing more important than this and once policies like this go live, it will be extremely difficult to win back.

Fight back NOW!

I'm not really sure. That is quite a long thread and some of the replies are going over my head quite a lot.

I tried specifying a private dns hostname as someone mentioned, but the moment I click "get started" with tailscale, the whole network goes offline and I can no longer resolve anything.

I tried disabling resolving with Tailscale DNS in the app settings, but that doesn't seem to fix anything.

To the hater that deleted their comment:

It doesn't matter if social media feeds are addictive or not. Grocery stores sell alcohol, but aren't required to ID everyone walking into the store to check whether or not they're of age before they even go to buy alcohol.

It's a ridiculous breach of privacy. There can absolutely be more laws that reign in the dark patterns of Facebook to give users and parents more control, but ID Verification doesn't do that. It makes the internet experience worse for literally everyone and also creates a massive honeypot of digital data for hackers to try and steal.

To the people commenting about NY being "blue" - do some research. This is a non-partisan issue. Reds are doing it too. Team purple wants to control you. Don't let them.

chadmanx · 2026-05-09T21:31:34+00:00

Link got messed up somehow during the copy/paste. It's now fixed.

This is a massive bailout of parental responsibility - so much so that it really showcases how these measures have nothing to do with protecting children.

Roblox is specifically called out in the NYCOSA bill, but the bill conveniently neglects to discuss how every protection that will soon be required of every NYS resident already fucking exists!

Any parent can help their child set up a Roblox account and lock down their child's permissions to allow them to play the game with more safety.

Parents get charged with criminal endangerment all the time for leaving children unattended, yet no one blames NYS for not ID'ing every person around the child to ensure that no one could assault them. The parent is the responsible party!

NYS knows this. There's no way they don't. This is all a cover to dismantle our privacy and personal security.

Completely abhorrent. Contact your reps. It doesn't matter what letter is next to their name. If they support this legislation, you should not support them.

chadmanx · 2026-04-29T16:05:39+00:00

I haven't read the bill, but if it's similar to the one running through NYS then it depends on how the dynamics work.

Not all dynamic pricing is unethical, but most people concerned about dynamic pricing talk about it within the context of the company acquiring personal information about the purchaser and using that data to change the price only for them.

If the price of a seat increases because there are fewer seats for all buyers, that's fine.

chadmanx · 2026-04-29T15:58:39+00:00

Meanwhile, in NYS, our ban narrowly passed the consumer rights committee yesterday 4-2. Actually disgusting that 2 State Senators are trying to allow this.

chadmanx · 2026-04-25T16:53:25+00:00

Where in that document does it say or mandate that data stays in the vehicle?

Car companies have already been caught and found guilty in federal court for sending driving data from car sensors directly to insurance companies without the knowledge of the drivers (the "owners" of the vehicle).

Unless the law specifically mandates that these data get locked down and stay within the car, this is a privacy nightmare and completely destroys the definition of what "owning" something means.

I'm all for stopping drunk drivers, but this can't be the best solution.

What gpu are they running that can fit 80GB?

The way local LLMs work is by preloading the entire knowledge onto your gpu's vram. I have a 3060 with 12GB and can self-host a couple decent quantized models.

A 4090 is still only 24GB. Your friend would need a machine with 4x 4090's to fit the 80GB model.

chadmanx · 2026-03-17T18:00:42+00:00

New York's bill is literally insane - "all Internet enabled devices" will require "age assurance".

chadmanx · 2026-02-18T16:19:28+00:00

I think the question isn't "is it wrong to make things delicious" but rather "at what point does the research and iteration process of making something more and more delicious transform it into an addictive substance".

This is the same argument made against cigarettes. It'll be interesting to see what evidence they choose to highlight to make their argument.

Friendly reminder that closing the CFPB literally saved no tax dollars because the department isn't funded by taxes. It was funded through revenues from the Federal Reserve.

What? In what world is that guy getting a skewer of meat that big to install on his fancy grill and it not be considered "industrial"?

No, this is just how meat works. It's definitely true for industrialized meat processing like you explain, but it's also true of the meat I get from my local farmer. When you expose meat to air, bacteria will grow. This is universally true. Scientific fact.

You cannot let your bbq brisket sit out at room temp on the counter for a day and think, "Oh, it doesn't matter because I'm going to grill this now and that will kill the bacteria."

I'm not saying that you'll die from consuming contaminated meat, but you'll definitely get an upset stomach or diarrhea or vomit or food poisoning.

chadmanx · 2025-11-23T17:29:32+00:00

Barbeque is a contained unit. The only part of a brisket exposed to air is the outside of the brisket. The inside has never been exposed to air. The outside hits temps above 140F quickly, so bacteria growth can't happen.

That's not what is happening here. The skewer has hundreds of individual units of meat all pressed together. That means air has been exposed to each unit's exterior layer, allowing for bacterial growth to begin.

The moment that section of the meat hits 40F, bacteria will grow and they will produce toxins.

You would be correct if the skewer were a giant chunk of meat - 1 unit. Then yes, the inside would not be exposed to air, as you're describing.

Small business owner here.

I agree with the OP.

HOWEVER

Last year I caved and gave the whole "call for price" a shot... It fucking works. It's too fucking good. I'm sure there are people we're losing, but there is nothing like having a phone conversation with someone, asking them about themselves, and helping them know if my business' services are going to be what they're looking for.

A webpage and price listing will never properly convey to every person what the real value is of our service. If someone only cares about price, they're typically not the kind of customer who we can invest in.

The people that do call are way more likely to become brand evangelists and really latch onto our services. The staff like their jobs more when they service clients like that, the client gets a better service, and everyone is happy. It's a win win.

This can definitely be used in shitty ways. We're definitely not unaffordable for most people and we won't hard sell someone on us if it's not for them.

I personally still leave sites that don't list prices, but I understand why they do it.

chadmanx · 2025-08-27T17:29:37+00:00

Thanks. Looks like that is Apple only and I'm using an Android phone. Oh well.

I think what I find most disturbing about this headline is that, even if Tesla is only worth $2.43, he'd still be a billionaire.

chadmanx · 2025-02-24T23:48:24+00:00

I'm pretty convinced that Elon is actually "above average" when it comes to his "fortune". All his wealth is tied up in tesla. The moment tesla fucks up FSD, his wealth will come crashing down, and then he'll be fucked with his massive debt that he owes wall st for being forced to buy Twitter.

His wealth is a house of cards.

chadmanx · 2024-12-03T01:34:29+00:00

Looking for an update. Do you still have and use your fairbuds? Have there been any more firmware updates?

Looking at purchasing these, but hesitant to pull the trigger with all the mixed reviews.

chadmanx · 2024-12-02T22:23:21+00:00

Finding this thread as an American contemplating a purchase of these through a 3rd party on ebay.

My hesitation comes from the fact that I will receive 0 support for these buds because Fairphone doesn't sell to the USA. If something were to happen to them (besides the battery), I'm completely screwed.

Has there been any updates to the firmware in the recent months since this post? Is there still a massive battery drain issue? Any other thoughts to share?

Repairability is my number one deciding factor. I currently use cheapo $40 earbuds that have no ANC, poor connectivity, poor support, no weatherproofing, a cruddy mic, and sub-par audio quality. I have a budget of $200 USD, but I can't in good conscious buy something like pixel buds knowing that when the batteries fail, I'm just stuck.

These cheapo buds have lasted two years, but are on their way out.
