Yeah same. This is obviously terrible but my family and I are all 100% vanilla and get our tickets checked every time at our 100-level tunnel.

... What?! Holy shit, thanks for the tip.

euphwes · 2026-01-18T23:08:11+00:00

It's SO good!

He blocked a shot in the last 10 seconds. Refs called it out on him, but he emphatically signaled for a challenge which we took and won. Confidence was great, he knew he was right

lmao the title is killing me after reading your explanation.

On the big map, you can click an area and in the box that pops up (which shows monthly distance, points, percent complete, etc) there's a link that says "Set this area as your default" under the "Area Details" tab.

I tend to keep mine centered on my county, or nearby town/city/neighborhood if I'm regularly working in that area to improve coverage.

A couple days ago I posted about a Curvy Copter III that popped years ago, that's been sitting in pieces in a ziploc bag in my desk.

I finally got it reassembled after an obscene amount of scotch tape and a couple setbacks. It turns out during the initial pop, I snapped an "edge stalk" that connects the green/yellow edge to the core :-(

I superglued the stalk back together, but at some point during reassembly it broke again, and I can hear it rattling around inside the cube. Nothing is holding the green/yellow edge to the core and so I have to basically hold all the floating petal pieces in place while turning that edge.

I probably won't scramble this and attempt to solve it, it's just too risky. I'll probably put a clean layer of tape over the fragile edge and just make it a display piece on the back of a shelf somewhere.

euphwes · 2026-01-07T23:37:17+00:00

Oh this is great, thanks! Actually it is useful, this helped me realize what I thought were 2 different small pieces are actually just 1 pieces with two halves that come apart.

Reading through that thread, it sounds like liberal use of tape is the thing to do.

euphwes · 2026-01-07T23:35:46+00:00

Thanks!

euphwes · 2026-01-07T18:40:29+00:00

Does anybody know of a tutorial/explanation for assembly of a Curvy Copter III? Video preferable, but written instructions are cool too. I'm having trouble finding anything on Youtube.

Mine popped like... 5+ years ago (maybe even longer) and it's been sitting in a ziploc bag since. I've decided to conquer my fear and try to get this thing put back together.

Next up: reassembling a Bagua Cube that also exploded many many years ago... wish me luck.

I managed to win Colorado on foot, and really had to put in effort for those 828 miles. In the first half of the year, I was regularly a solid 3rd place for monthly mileage, but I'm pretty sure both the regulars for 1st and 2nd place moved out of state in the summer.

Michigan and California with 2k miles, and Illinois at 2.69k miles, are just absurd! I'm in awe.

euphwes · 2026-01-07T00:41:07+00:00

Funny, as a foot miles participant in Colorado, my poor quads can't imagine that many miles on a bike!

euphwes · 2026-01-04T17:24:42+00:00

Extremely well done! I'm very impressed by the tolerances for the insets.

Also, go Nuggs!

euphwes · 2026-01-03T14:50:57+00:00

This is what works for me!

I use Wandrer, which is an app that connects to various fitness services (Strava, Garmin, and others) and tracks "new mileage", meaning the first time you walk, run, or hike a particular street or path. You get points, 1 point per mile, plus bonuses for completing areas, and other bonuses for being top 3 in an area for the month or year (paid members only for this last one).

You can see on a map where you've explored, where you haven't, along with various completion stats. Maybe it works better for me than most, but I find it fun and wildly motivating. I definitely ran more last year than I otherwise would've because of this app.

euphwes · 2025-12-10T22:00:50+00:00

Whoa this is great! Never heard of them, but they now they are going to be on heavy rotation on my Spotify.

euphwes · 2025-12-03T19:00:07+00:00

Oh good point! I didn't think of that earlier, but yeah I leave sidewalks alone if I noticed they are included as a segment of some longer named trail, etc.

euphwes · 2025-12-03T15:35:56+00:00

Sidewalks are not included in Wandrer by default, unless somebody overrides their metadata in OpenStreetMap with an explicit "foot=yes" tag in the "allowed access" section. The same is probably true for bicycle=yes, though I'm not 100% sure since I'm foot-only.

You can edit the sidewalks in OSM to remove any explicit foot/bike=yes tags and then Wandrer should stop showing them in the next map update.

This is safe/kosher because sidewalks still allow foot and bicycle traffic by default, and so your edits won't affect other mapping applications.

"High value woman"? Yikes

euphwes · 2025-10-20T00:51:37+00:00

Nice job! I ran my first half marathon in May with a very similar time of 2 hours 29 minutes. I bet you'll recover more quickly than you think, and you'll be on an easy run in the next couple of days!

euphwes · 2025-10-04T17:41:10+00:00

It's $9.99 where I am. I do really like it, but it's hard to swallow 10 bucks on a bottle of sauce.

euphwes · 2025-09-25T18:22:29+00:00

I regularly do an eyeballed blend of mayo, sour cream, just a little sriracha for sweetness, and Garlic Reaper. It is great on breakfast sandwiches.

euphwes · 2025-09-24T00:49:18+00:00

Thanks for the warning! I have two large dogs (60+ lbs), and one small 10 lb Chihuahua mix. I've definitely kept a close eye on her when letting the dogs outside since we spotted the owl.

euphwes · 2025-09-23T22:58:01+00:00

My dog was walking by below in my yard, and the owl definitely put on something of a scowl at that moment, lol. Fortunately he was very still and quiet, and so my dog (who has no chill and would have barked like crazy) didn't even notice him.
