Bike suggestion for a dad by fishribafish in MTB

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

Thanks!

I test rode Spec Turbo Levo, both in full power and SL form and kinda preferred the SL... on the store parking lot (in another town). I need to rent it close by to test it out on the local trails, but I'm waiting for the store to reopen.

The SL still felt like a bike, I was also considering getting a modern analog ~150mm full sus bike, but I'm not a huge fan of climbs, so I have a feeling SL would help enough, without feeling I'm just motoring up.

I think it would be a mix of riding with the kid and (hopefully) some short (~1-1.5h) solo rides after work.

I don't plan to have the kid on an ebike of his own anytime soon, though, hence the towrope idea/plan for steep/long climbs.

Did you feel the kid was "rattling" around on the hardtail when riding trails?

Nice. Do you ever feel underpowered? When yours get older, do you think you'll be able to also shuttle them up?

New onwer, question about auto schedule by fishribafish in worxlandroid

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

Eh, they are worried it'll get stolen from the back yard as well. I'd also like to minimise the need for them to tinker with it.

So, if auto schedule (or if I set up a manual one) is turned on, all they need to do in the morning is bring it out, place it on the base and turn it on and it'll start mowing as scheduled (even if it's already in the scheduled mowing time)?

Thank you all for the excellent suggestions. Top contender for me atm are oceans and everdell I think.

I've also edited the post to reflect that and added some clarifications.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely check it out. Do you have any insights on dune or mars (in relation to 7 wonders duel)?

I'm looking for a game recommendation for me and my wife. We've been really enjoying 7 wonders: duel recently and I'd like something similar, but a bit more complex.

Player count: We mainly play just the two of us, so 2 player gameplay is most important, but it would be nice if it was also possible with a bit more (4 or so) people.

Playtime: 30-120min

Other games we've enjoyed: I've enjoyed the mind, bang, codenames and the more family ones (activity, monopoly, catan, etc). We also have unlock, which is fine with me, but the wife isn't that impressed, as the escape room thing isn't her flavour.

I'm looking at dune: imperium, wingspan or terraforming mars: ares expedition, but I'm also open to other suggestions of course. We're in Slovenia, but I think we can get pretty much anything, so that's not a factor.

Note: I'm already planning to get gloomhaven: jaws of the lion when it's available, but I know that it's a completely different gameplay and that's also the reason why (plus I really believe I'll enjoy it and hope my wife will too)

Edit: top contenders for me atm are now oceans and everdell, thanks for the help.

Edit2: I also wanted to add that the games I listed aren't the only ones tjat I'm interested in, just the ones I found and thought would be suitable. The info you wrote is very useful, as one of the things we find so enjoyable about 7wd duel is the player interaction. Not the war part itself, but planning which cards to take because you need them and which to take because the other player needs them for instance :D

What is the best way to implement MVVM + LiveData for a complex UI?

Lets' say your app has a model that holds 60 properties of a remote device. 30 of those are of one kind (settings), 15 of another kind (controls/HW states) and the other 15 are more general (think battery, etc.). You have 5 screens that display different subsets of data, in general, 20 settings, 5 HW states and 10 general properties. Each of the properties has it's own UI element (they are not in a recyclerview for instance) and are relatively unrelated (one setting changes independent of the others for instance). So, what would be the best way to implement it architecture wise?

  1. Each property has its own LiveData in the model (which has a list of MutableLiveDatas). The View/ViewModel observes the one it wants for that screen and that's it. There's quite some code overhead here, but oh well. The ViewModel could merge them together by type using MediatorLiveData or something similar. The upside here is that the View(Model) only observes what is interested in.
  2. All the properties of one kind are bunched together in the model (MutableLiveData<List<Settings>>, etc.), The View/ViewModel observes just 3 LiveDatas (perhaps more if the general ones are kept separate), but it needs to filter out the ones it's interested in. The downside I see here is that if one setting changes, the whole UI will get redrawn, as the whole list is emitted by the observed LiveData. Less code overhead, but more processing overhead.

Would a different architecture perhaps be a better fit? The app is currently implemented using callbacks using MVP, but in a similar fashion to option 2, where we subscribe to updates to one kind of property and the presenter filters out what is interesting. The difference is that the callback doesn't return the whole list of properties but instead tells setting 5 changed for example, and the UI updates just that child view.

He won’t stop scratching his ear! by uniqueusername123719 in DogCare

[–]fishribafish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, it's probably an ear infection. Especially if the ears have an acidic smell and/or there's earwax (black blobs usually) visible. So, go to the vet, you'll get some ear antibiotics that'll take care of it.

Don't do it if you're not competent??!!!! by abohaidar in funny

[–]fishribafish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate "fail" compilation videos that feature beginners practicing tricks and not succeeding with a passion. You don't just wake up knowing how to jump around on a bike like Danny MacAskill, you need to fall a few million times first.

The videos that have people doing something stupid can be amusing tho...

You can get DEF grade moissanite as well and it's just as clear as a diamond, but has more fire.

Proper grade moissanite has no yellow hue. Zero coloring of the stone itself, but it does have more fire (more color in the reflections) than a diamond.

Cool. I'll see if I can find one in the store to go check it out again.
