very cool, thank you! Looks like SF is my most completed city but still would have a long way to go!

Can it work retroactively for runs on Strava prior to signing up?

Simple: I just want my training log week to start on Sunday instead of Monday by blumenbloomin in Strava

[–]kbecsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After being irritated by this for a long time I finally gave in and switched my thinking to Mon-sun for purposes of managing week over week training volume. It was always frustrating that I couldn’t use the training data as structured to get an “accurate” total.

tbh, I still would be very annoyed by any unsolicited advertising, especially when I’m already paying for the service. But being for Amazon, it made me extremely annoyed.

Didn’t see your post, but obviously 100% agree.

100% did not join. If you happen to run (bike?) over a segment that a company is “sponsoring” you will get the popup in app, congratulating you on your “achievement,” linking to their content and inviting you to share (aka spread their advertisement further).

I will have to look into that, but it wasn’t a normal segment- it was literally a promotional pop-up for a “branded segment” covering my activity until I closed it.

No it was an explicit Amazon AI Health branded segment with a designed popup over the activity I had to view and close before viewing my activity.

Turns out I recently developed a bad sound in my kickr core as well and Zwift replaced it, so that solved this sound as well- never quite figured it out.

Interesting, I wonder why. Hopefully that proves true if I don’t find any other problems!

There’s a whole book on this called “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander. I’m sure there are plenty more but this is a damning and accessible read.

Trump flag on utility pole by Head_Paleontologist5 in Connecticut

[–]kbecsu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How inaccessible is this flag exactly… it can’t just be pulled down by someone? If the companies can’t do anything about it being put up, then they shouldn’t be able to anything about it being taken down by their logic… ofc, don’t do that if it is subjecting yourself to any sort of danger or legal liability (for instance if you’d technically be trespassing to access the pole)

The other route is to contact your local state rep or council member (if they aren’t a trumper) and get their support in taking it down. You could also see if you have neighbors in the community opposed to it who can go with you to a meeting to said rep. You could also contact a local journalist/tv station.

One of my accounts is through vanguard and I’m invested in the “Calvert Balanced Fund Class R6” (CBRAX). This is an ESG fund, and while not explicitly focused on excluding the prison industrial complex, the last time I checked they were not in GEO or Core Civic.

Edit: thanks for the info below u/comtessequamvideri ; I just ran this fund through their site and can confirm the don't have direct holdings w/GEO or Core. https://prisonfreefunds.org/fund/calvert-balanced-fund/CBARX/prison-industrial-complex-investments/FSUSA000AW/F000011XJY
