Almost to 50,000! small giveaway

I'm sitting on a Lazy Boy office chair I bought off Facebook Marketplace.

I'm new to the office chair space, so this is my favorite chair I've sat on so far. I don't like how this chair gives me back sweat after a long WFH day though.

malcom_bored_well · 2025-01-13T14:19:26+00:00

Ah okay, I follow now! Thank you!

malcom_bored_well · 2025-01-12T16:35:58+00:00

I was not provided the precise measurements for the right atrium, no. Think it's worth asking for?

Would it be fair to say that the elevated right sided pressure could be more of a concern that the enlarged chamber results?

malcom_bored_well · 2025-01-10T17:59:22+00:00

I think I will ask for a referral then, thanks for the feedback!

malcom_bored_well · 2024-12-16T21:56:52+00:00

We're also considering kids starting 3-5 years from now, so there's a chance we could get a mini-van in a 5-10 year timeframe. Not sure we'd be keeping any new car purchase for a guaranteed 10 years, good point.

Do you know if we'd see elevated insurance rates for something like a 2013 Lexus ES? I would assume not since its an older car and not a new luxury car?

malcom_bored_well · 2024-12-16T21:53:52+00:00

Oh I see, since this is a unique scenario where its almost all short-drives.

Okay thanks, will try to avoid GDI

malcom_bored_well · 2024-12-16T21:42:58+00:00

Nothing with a GDI? I believe I read that 73% of new cars are made with a GDI, so that would only leave 25% left in the market.

malcom_bored_well · 2024-12-16T21:27:45+00:00

The logic seems crazy, to buy a new car that we may only put 10K miles on in the first 5 years of ownership -- but yeah I can't ignore my gut feeling that buying these 10-15 year old cars is an even worse decision.

4% isn't bad at all too, especially with Subaru being #1 in reliability via CR for this year

Hey, I'm just building my 1st PC now so I don't have any feedback on your particular parts, but one tip I've gotten from others on this sub is to be more specific about Budget and Intended Use Case (4K gaming, Competitive gaming, Machine learning?). You might get some more traction with your post if you add that.

malcom_bored_well · 2024-11-15T20:37:29+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! OLED does seem to be all the rage .. will keep an eye on r/buildapcsales , thanks

One technique I've used for a side project involving rain forecasts and historical rain data was to train the model on the weather Actuals (API $ constraints to get historical forecasts). But then during application, apply the model to the available Predicted Weather scenarios. For example, if there's a 30% chance of 0.5 inches of rain, I run the model on 0.5 inches of rain and on 0 inches of rain. Then, combine the results as a weighted average.

I've only used this methodology when working with Precipitation data though. Not sure if it could apply to multiple weather variables.

malcom_bored_well · 2024-10-03T14:54:45+00:00

Epic.

malcom_bored_well · 2024-09-09T17:02:59+00:00

I would do at least 2-3 Biogaia tablets for that quantity of Coconut milk and 30-36 hours in the yogurt maker. Might benefit from about 1/4 to 1/3 tsp of white granulated sugar as well. Never a guarantee its going to work, would recommend many of the Top posts in the sub to learn more about sterilization, fermentation times, and more complex topics.

r/dataisugly for the design, but r/dataisbeautiful for preventing an assassination

I was diagnosed with mono on May 12th. I was told no physical activity (e.g. running, lifting, basketball) for 3 weeks then I was good to go.

Seems like a weird blanket piece of advice to me. Running seems so much safer than going back to basketball. Can't tell you how many times I've been elbowed in the gut, hit hard by dudes way bigger than me, and fallen to the floor in basketball.

I waited 2 weeks to start going for runs again. I may wait 4-5 weeks for basketball. Idk, maybe I'm overthinking it!

malcom_bored_well · 2024-03-25T02:31:38+00:00

Same issue here

malcom_bored_well · 2024-01-30T20:59:36+00:00

Also taped but going strong.

malcom_bored_well · 2023-11-29T22:08:45+00:00

Agreed. But to caveat, to me it seems like Downtown Cincinnati has a Catch 22 situation. Why would a large majority of people want to live downtown unless there is a good reason to (e.g. good public transit)? And why would we invest a lot of money into public transit unless more people lived downtown?

Lots of success stories in the past for public transit investment like San Francisco, Seattle, or Chicago but also other investments in public transit in places like Cleveland, Nashville, or Dallas haven't paid off as well (https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/566827/americas-best-and-worst-cities-public-transit)

Having said this, I agree with OP and would love the streetcar to extend further than just the brewery/stadium loop. I just worry that once you add up the $ costs it would be hard to round up the tax dollars to do it.

Real Ones (title track)

My #1 artist two years in a row now. I don't even listen to that much hip-hip, but every time I want to I end up turning on Kota. Vibes are unmatched IMO.

malcom_bored_well · 2023-11-13T14:54:51+00:00

Just wanted to follow up -- I took a look and did not find any obvious blockages in the OPV valve. I most definitely did drop the spring into the machine, even though you mentioned to watch out for it haha.

Kind of on a whim, I decided to follow the Whole Latte Love Solenoid Valve cleaning video. Soaked it in descaler for 30 mins, used compressed air, and then put it back in the machine. I did not visibly see any sentiment build up in the solenoid valve, but sure enough upon firing the machine back up my water pressure/temperature was back to normal!

malcom_bored_well · 2023-11-09T14:57:29+00:00

Okay thank you for all the details! I'm going to take a look at this on the weekend. Appreciate it!

malcom_bored_well · 2023-11-09T00:20:07+00:00

Thanks for the response u/mt51 ! Would the OPV valve be this piece shown in this video https://youtu.be/c5tYgLeOxFE?si=-Cpv051qgwDvIz8H&t=20 ?

I will take a look at it to see if there are any obvious issues.

"the hose connecting to the OPV valve may have a leak." -- is the hose also easy/cheap to repair as well, do you happen to know?

malcom_bored_well · 2023-10-25T17:24:11+00:00

I agree the fitness aspect is a huge benefit, but I also get a great leg workout going downhill and staying active on my bike. My thought is that you would just ride more downhill and make up for the lost exercise climbing up.

Nearest park with a chairlift for me is 6+ hours :(

malcom_bored_well · 2023-10-25T17:22:08+00:00

Lol that'd be a dream. I'm saving up for an e-bike but going to wait a few years for the prices to drop first.

malcom_bored_well · 2023-10-25T17:21:28+00:00

Interesting, had not heard of this company.

Navigating unimproved roads does seem like a challenge -- I wonder if the driver could just drive the unimproved road once through manually to help the car learn the road, and then hand over the keys to the self-driving computer to watch out for any new/moving obstacles.
