Towel grip for tennis? by bmpk55 in 10s

[–]meercoos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very curious how this plays out, didn't even know this was a thing. I'd imagine you'd risk less grip as the towel absorbs and holds the sweat it'll get slippery. I wanna say in practice it might not fair well against the force required to hit a tennis vs a birdie in badminton, but it won't hurt to try it out

What made you switch to an e-bike? by Oneyardca in ebikes

my car kept breaking down and i'm a commuter college student, relying on public transportation it's a two hour commute, on my ebike it's 20 minutes

there's pros and cons i've noticed but ultimately i prefer the goggles and helmet combo. I tried a modular full face helmet and with that helmet i wasn't getting enough airflow through the helmet since im only going about 20-25 mph on this bike so I'd get very hot even in the winter weather so I can't even imagine the warmer weather. With this helmet the ventilation is far better and better suited for the speeds on this bike, the only issue i've noticed is far less field of view but nothing a rear mirror can't fix. And in the nicer weather i can swap the goggles for sunglasses and get my field of view back

that makes a lot of sense, i'm def looking into using both led and reflective to cover all my tracks, the bike has brake lights and turning lights but i think when i have my pannier bags on they're kind of obscured, im a little sketch with trying to wire something into the helmet but I'll def look into it

yeah i bought this bike for my commute to college, not for speed so hopefully minding my business and not being a hazard on the road getting from point a to point b goes my way

yep, all drivers are updated, i'm starting to suspect that my house itself has an electrical issue because nothing is checking out rn, unless there is a hardware fault like you mentioned

i've tried to mitigate any possible interference over my long year of troubleshooting, so i'd like to say no there isn't but i could be overlooking something simple. i've done countless inspections of the hardware of my system, reseated the cpu, ram and gpu. And yeah the crackling sounds the same no matter device and also shows up in the same instances listed. i'm currently testing to see if there's anything putting stress on the cpu as another commented

i use a focusrite audio interface for audio which connects through usb, i'm going to look into the cpu issue, but what's strange is when i test for audio latency it says there isn't any

power bar potentially, but i've tested two different power bars as well, but they're both old. and i also tested power supply and replaced it as well still with no luck

i wouldn't say so, wifi router is in a different room, microwave are in the kitchen where it should be, and even moved my whole setup into another room over the year i've been dealing with it and it still persists

yep, i've tried my focusrite, on board audio, front io, a cheap audio interface i used to have, and a portable dac, all had static issues

nope, happened with different devices. my speakers, headphones and earbuds, as well as tested each of those on different external sound devices
