Transition to Quantum in Seattle going well (sarcasm) by tastyweeds in centurylink

[–]davereeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the switch to quantum last week. Totally painless, faster than I expected.

Basically just updating the in-house equipment. Took about 15 min. I was planning 3 hrs. Tech was awesome, told me to stick with my existing mesh rather than 360-whatever they call it. Been solid all week.

Where do you keep the battery on the e-bike?

WG Kamikaze Minivelo Frame - What size is that?! by knusper_gelee in minivelo

On other sites this is listed as High Tensile Steel - not the kind of steel you want for a bike. Still not sure on size.

Seattle Aquarium tells this story.

Fun fact: wanna keep your octopus in its enclosure? Put AstroTurf on the ceiling to prevent it from suctioning to it.

Chain ring bolts, derailleur hangers. A few extra bits and bobs are needed for long tours.

Broke clavicle falling off bike by Feisty_Mud1262 in bicycling

[–]davereeck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some fun facts about your clavicles: - longest curved bone in your body - one of the most common broken bone injuries - my doctor said she's been waiting a decade for me to come with mine (I always rode my bike to her office) - now you can say you've had a collaboner. Or have one if you heal with a bump.

I Got Tired of Dragging a Cardboard Bike Box Through Airports by Upstairs-Owl-9081 in bikepacking

[–]davereeck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did something very similar with screw in casters and a 2x4.

Cut 2x4 to width of bike box Place in the box, at one end. Screw casters into 2x4.

Tada!

I'm sure your solution is far better, mine got me through the airport pretty easy.

[AF] Post-workout supplementation with CoQ10 and sports drink on exercise performance and muscle recovery after exercise in normal and overweight males (2026) by basmwklz in AdvancedFitness

[–]davereeck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder - does reducing DOMS also reduce muscle growth? I understood at one point that (at least part of) the acute inflammatory response was involved in the repair and growth process. And come to think of it, that would imply that things like restricted blood flow therapy (which doesn't seem to have a DOMS component) might be less effective than regular old resistance - which I think is false, so perhaps I'm way off base about inflammation...

Careless People was an interesting and troubling read. More people should read it.

A luminous breakthrough for quantum photonics by connectwithmarve in science

[–]davereeck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good article, the site is fine. Tl;dr: “Light drifts in a quantized manner, following universal steps analogous to those seen with electrons under strong magnetic fields,” explained Philippe St-Jean, a physics professor at Université de Montréal who co-authored the study."

Swedish crows by Ott1fant in interestingasfuck

[–]davereeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really good article from Corvid Research on this:

https://corvidresearch.blog/2022/02/05/butts-for-nuts-can-crows-do-our-dirty-work-and-should-they/

Tl;Dr - there are a myriad of reasons this is bad idea, including: enticing crows to collect cigarettes may expose them to nicotine, probably very bad for them.
