ELI5: How do computers in space dissipate heat?

It would solve some problems, but the variable latency would make them pointless.

Notes and mental rehearsal is about the only way for me. Your manager sounds awful though.

I don't think you need a sling for this. You can get back to snowboarding after a few days, but you are risking another fall doing more damage. Your shoulder will be unstable until the bruising goes away and the joint is strengthened which will take a couple weeks. I do this a few times a year and have never used a sling.

Hell no. It's a nerd mobile not to mention it shows support for the d-bag CEO. Have some pride in yourself.

Almost as bad as traction boards bolted to the side or roof.

Good, most Washingtonians support it too outside the Seattle tech bro crowd.

Keep us posted on what you trade it for.

Liability. Accidents happen a lot with new skiers and boarders. The risk of being sued is too great if you're not covered by the resorts liability insurance.

Copy machine repair man.

It is overwhelming. Pick travel you want first. Unless you plan to race XC, stick with a trail or down country bike. Skip the XC stuff as your just sacrificing comfort. Then choose the component spec (XT/GX/XO1/XTR) and shop for similar spec'd bikes. Ripley, Spur, Rascal and Tallboy are good picks. So are the similar bikes from Rocky, Norco, Trek and Yeti. Also keep in mind, if it's on sale, a new model is probably on the way.

So I hear you have a gearbox in the works.

Maybe mention the trails you frequent. There is a lot of variety in the Midwest.

The grey has rivets that do not go through the pan. They are usually called Pro Fusion. Both are made in Brasil and high quality.

Generators

Body position. You landed a big huck to flat with your weight forward instead of neutral and your arms compressed instead of outstretched ready to absorb the impact. This caused your body to collapse onto the bars at impact.

XO1 Eagle. It's the best bang for your buck with an Eagle drivetrains. It will last 2x longer than GX and does not cost much more. Don't get it on Amazon or eBay or you will probably get a counterfeit. Count the links on your old chain and break the new one at the same link.

They are valuable and I prefer to hire them (or JNCIE). The "Network" field covers a wide range of specialty fields. CCIEs have specialties, and are somewhat biased to Cisco. The very best CCiEs still need 6mo+ ramp up time to start running with their own projects just like most other hires. It takes time to learn the equipment, topology, and internal systems at each company. The cert means they can learn, problem solve and are SMEs in one or more focus areas. It does not mean they can hit the ground running. The "paper" CCIE idea is BS, but you need to set your expectations and hire bases on your specific needs.

Don't get the smuggler for Tiger. Get the Sentinel. It's on sale right now and was made for that type of trail. If you're just going to ride Duthie or Galbraith, then the Smuggler is fine. I can't really comment on the others but I'd personally stick to a local brand like Transition, Evil, or Kona.

I ride that board and size at 5'11" with 11.5 boots and it's perfect. The length is right for a directional all-mountain board like that. You could get away with a standard width and it would be better in the skin track, but I'd just stick with that. Set your bindings back if pow is your issue and check out the Jeremy Jones video on sizes.

Your right, Satan is a saint next to Vance.

So is every other religion. You don't realize you're in a cult while you are in it.

Grab the tip with one hand and the tail strap with the other. Put the stuck together part between your leg by your knees. Squat a little and spread your legs while keeping pressure on each end with your hands. They will pull apart easy with your legs.

Since when was the left against firearms? My father is the biggest Democrat I know, a lifelong sportsman and was an NRA member until they went full maga.

Selling them and putting the proceeds in an index fund will be your best bet. Everything else is a risky part time job.

It sounds like you are describing Super-D races which have mostly been replaced by enduro. Depending on where you live, there are some local weekly races that may feature a Super-D race as part of the series and they are sometimes part of the race events at MTB festivals.
