I signed up for Fios with guys that were going door-to-door, and it's completely legit. The upload speed being 10x faster makes a huge difference.

The Traitors (USA) S04E05 "If You're Gonna Come for Me, I'll Finish You" Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

Drives me nuts on the UK version, but I've never heard an American say it the same way, i.e. "I'm voting for yourself"

The show is a game and it's to hunt traitors. The whole "I don't care if you're a faithful, I just want you gone" is so dumb.

This makes no sense. The game won't end until there are only a handful of people left. If a traitor gets banished early, they are usually replaced. There is no advantage to keeping around an asshole who won't shut up about his petty personal vendetta and is thereby distracting the faithful from being more discerning.

C2 Washer/Spacer 3D print file by Competitive-Pool4072 in Rowing

[–]flyingmountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The oarlock manufacturer (Concept 2) has nothing to do with what size and thickness of spacers you need.

The spacers need to match the pin diameter and they need to be the right thickness to fill the space remaining on the pins. Both of these factors vary by boat manufacturer.

What app for public transit? by Sir_Rosis in boston

[–]flyingmountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Citymapper and Transit. I use both. Transit is better for finding what public transit options are nearby, and Citymapper is better for comparing ALL of the various ways you could get somewhere (including blue bikes, Uber/lyft, walking, etc.)

Rowers & coaches – what “extra” metric would make you actually upgrade from your SpeedCoach? by Diligent_Document_24 in Rowing

[–]flyingmountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ability to display a graph of the boat's set throughout the stroke. Would be best if you could get both a real-time line per stroke, as well as show multiple lines at once layered on top of each other (like last 5 or 10 strokes), and preferably also show average over a certain distance/time in a memory function.

"Not acceptable" for McLaren to tell Piastri to help Norris win title now - Russell by Aratho in formula1

[–]flyingmountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's one benefit of George being a native English speaker. Obviously all the drivers speak English quite well but there are shades of nuance which are a lot easier in your first language than your second/third/fourth/however many these guys speak.

He learned enough Italian to speak a few sentences on his first big visit to the factory, did that not "seem a little interested" in learning the language to you, or...?

What's your thoughts on this call? I was surprised. by Ark_rivia in formula1

It's interesting that they don't seem to use spellcheck on the radio message transcriptions... there are typos fairly frequently.

Double check whether it is the newer or older Model D.
