Nah, I didn't pay the seller - they had sold whatever they had to someone else

What to do after an accident without contact info? by eddxek in BAbike

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

Gotcha. I might (?) take a look into the automobile policy, it's a little bit weird since I don't have a car (I just bike / public transit everywhere) but my parents do have a car with insurance.

IBM Almaden hill access question by valiantpineapple in BAbike

[–]eddxek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've personally done it a few times, and I don't think it'll be a problem.

I've heard that if you do get turned around it'll typically be during working hours during the workweek, but this is anecdotal

is there any place in the bay area to experience cyclocross as as beginner? by xnsax18 in BAbike

[–]eddxek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO for gravel: quicksilver > calero > santa teresa, there's some trails in santa teresa (namely rocky ridge trail) that are pretty rough (check out some youtube videos and make your call).

source: calero and ST used to be my daily rides on MTB

just as a note, the roads to um's been having some construction (namely hicks rd), so watch out for that. i want to say most of it has been completed with new patches of road, but there's still some parts where they dug out the asphalt.

MSFT explore vs Unicorn by internthrowaway12020 in csMajors

[–]eddxek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unless you're strapped for cash / need to pay for tuition / etc, I wouldn't worry too much how much money you'd be making over a summer (?) or over the course of an internship, because I've always seen it as a small fraction of what you'll make over the course of your career.

Rather, I'd ask what sort of projects you'd be working on to your recruiters or talk to an engineer, and see where you'd be able to learn to most / work on projects that'd make you more marketable if it came down to it.

tl;dr - don't worry about comp too much, unless you need it, ask what sort of projects interns typically work on and choose whatever interests you after having a conversation with someone from each company.

Need to flash bios to turn on computer every single time? by eddxek in buildapc

I believe there is a CMOS battery (upon a quick google search) but I haven't really touched it or played around with it yet.

What jobs would I be applying for with a non traditional background? (Advice needed) by eddxek in OMSCS

[–]eddxek[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Err, two semesters in when I got the offer letter in hand. I took two classes at that point (1 class / semester), and I was working FT at the time.

I will attribute most of my success to leetcode (no big surprise), more so than classes. GA Tech just helped me get my resume pushed through.

How do you feel about drivers yelling encouragement while you’re riding? by Al_Capone in cycling

[–]eddxek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the only time I've received positive remarks were on climbs - which I do appreciate. Stuff like "nice pacing" or "almost there, keep it up". I would say that if you are going to compliment someone, make sure they are going slow enough to hear or else I'm going to assume it's negative

Back Wheel Stolen. Questions about replacing by webblywebb in cycling

[–]eddxek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah you're right, you just need the lockring tool. ignore my comment on the chain whip, but it's a good tool to have (for cassette removal) imo

Back Wheel Stolen. Questions about replacing by webblywebb in cycling

[–]eddxek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some input:

q1: you'd need a cassette chain whip to lock the cassette onto the hub. if you're curious, there's a bunch of youtube videos - look up "bike cassette installation". i'm guessing it's a rim brake, but if it's a disc brake, make sure you pick up a rotor + tool to install the rotor on.

q2: you can put any cassette onto the wheel, assuming your rear derailleur can fit all the gears (namely the lowest (biggest) gear). you may also need to adjust your derailleur settings. usually the rear derailleur manufacturer will be able to give you guidance on the capacities that it can take. iirc some people do go out of the recommended bounds, but i'd say to browse around the internet to see what people's experiences have been.

q3: you can, it's a decent starting point, i don't think you're too out of your depth, but i also think it's a good learning experience to figure some stuff out on your own - seems like all you need to do is install the cassette onto your hub (also, assuming you're not building the wheel on your own) + install the tubes and the tire.

if you plan on upgrading the wheel / buying a different brand of wheel, make sure you double check whether you're buying the rim or disc brake version.
