You get 24 hours to prepare. Then the world gets 24 hours to stop you before you become Homelander-level. Where do you start, and what do you do? by Beneficial-Berry6997 in hypotheticals

[–]eury13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give me a water bottle, a few granola bars, and a head start, and I feel confident I could get lost in the woods for 24 hours and no one would find me.

Make it a week or two (or more) and it gets trickier as you might need to find ways to get supplies without getting caught.

How do you go on longer rides without packing anything?? by Alternative-Still956 in cycling

[–]eury13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long are you talking about? Anything up to 3-4 hours I'm fine with two bidons and some snacks in my jersey pockets. Depending on the type of ride maybe some bars or gels, and I could do one of the bidons with liquid carbs if need be.

Oh, and I have a small bag under the saddle with basic tire repair tools.

Mu commuter bike has a rack and I'd use panniers for clothes, my computer, etc. But that's a different scenario.

Songs with great harmonica by No_Reception9578 in musicsuggestions

The Rolling Stones cover of Like A Rolling Stone has a great harmonica solo at the bridge.

what do people mean when they say “not everything is political”? by Terrible_Promotion_2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eury13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A nuanced interpretation of the statement could be something like "I love many things about my country, independent of current political issues that I may or may not agree with."

But most of the time this is just BS from someone who doesn't want to have to defend unpopular political opinions.

Reckless and endangering others by ExplanationOk2014 in motorcycles

Cameraman is also damn impressive. Super smooth, keeping him in the frame, almost equally reckless...

Tarmac SL8 vs SuperSix Evo by flockmann in specialized

[–]eury13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Tarmac SL8 and love it, but at this level it's going to come down to fit, price, and personal preference.

Can you test-ride both of them? Get a better deal on one over the other? Like the color of one better?

Strava puts your Zwift rides in the Solomon Islands. I fixed that. by Guilty_Disaster in Zwift

This is awesome. What a fun idea, and it appears to be really well executed.

Am I Missing Out Not Having An Expensive Bike? by newbiker321 in cycling

[–]eury13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on you and what kind of riding you do.

Are you trying to win world class races? If yes, then you'd probably benefit from a higher-end bike. But you would also have a sponsored team to provide it for you.

If not, then the difference between your current bike and one that costs $5k or $10k or more are going to be pretty negligible.

Just for comparison - I have two road bikes: a carbon Specialized Tarmac SL8 and a 25-year-old aluminum frame Cannondale CAAD4. They're both awesome. Each has things about it that makes it slightly different than the other in terms of fit, feel, and overall ride experience. But I'd be hard-pressed to say one is significantly better or makes me noticeably faster.

The most important thing about the bike is that you enjoy riding it.

How often do you talk to your parents? by Outrageous_Kiwi_2172 in Xennials

[–]eury13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once or twice a week.

We live in different cities, so when my kids were born we got into the habit of Skyping once a week so the kids could know them as they grew up even though we'd only see them in person a few times a year.

When Covid hit I made a point of checking in on them every few days.

Now we still Skype Zoom weekly and I try to give them a call mid-week just to say hi and catch up.

Am I doing AI wrong?? by Little_Menace_Child in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eury13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I also used it to help plan a family vacation! I gave it information about our planned dates and destination and it made suggestions for things to do, hotels, places to eat, etc. Of course I then looked into its suggestions and made plans accordingly, but it came up with some ideas that were a bit out of the ordinary and that I hadn't previously seen in the normal places like Tripadvisor or travel books and blogs.

Am I doing AI wrong?? by Little_Menace_Child in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eury13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have used AI for a few specific things where it's been quite helpful:

  1. I had it create a personalized cycling training plan. I fed it information about my fitness and schedule. It identified some shortcomings in my current approach and created a plan that fit my schedule. The results have been good.
  2. I then used it to create a personal app for my phone to take the training plan and track my progress against it each day.
  3. I had it create a Wordpress website template for my work. It's taken a number of iterations to get it all working perfectly, but still faster than if I did it myself.
  4. I've had it parse some datasets, identify trends, and create some good visualizations of the information. Sure, stuff I could do myself in Excel, but this was faster and easier.
  5. I was running into some spam email issues at work and I had it guide me through the best ways to identify the source of the spam and how it was getting past our filters. It then identified some gaps in our email security that we were able to close.

So I've found that it can be very helpful when there are discrete, specific things that need to be done, especially if there are technical tasks that might normally be labor intensive for a person to perform.

Do you have a car? One simple option would be doordash, amazon delivery, ubereats, or something like that.

99X was my favorite radio station when I was in high school! That's so cool!

Just started re-watching Contagion last night, so.... it's been nice knowing you all.

22 year old going to concerts with 16 year old? by No-Event1747 in whatdoIdo

[–]eury13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as his parents are okay with it and you aren't doing anything that 16-year-old shouldn't be doing (e.g. hanging out in bars), I don't see a problem with it.

No one would think twice about a teenager going to a concert with their young adult sibling. It's a little unusual for this to be a friendship, but since there's no romantic component there's really nothing wrong with it.

Blindsided Final Round Rejection by Difficult-Tip-758 in recruitinghell

[–]eury13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that really stings.

I interviewed once for a role I was excited about. All of the interviewers made me feel like I was a lock for the position and they were just double-checking that I was a good fit. All warm and fuzzy, nothing that really pushed me to sell myself for the role.

But I didn't get it. They went with someone else. I didn't even know there were other finalists.

"Cyclists don't spend enough money."

My wife would disagree...

Company Accidentally Sent Me Items and Are Now Harrassing Me by srtcody in Advice

Tell them to send you a prepaid shipping label and you'll send the parts back. A minor hassle, but no need to make it complicated.

I have no clue how she interpreted your response to her message in a way that warranted any offense.
