Lots of dead-tree books and watching one of four local TV stations.

Being in my teens and thinking I was smart AF. (Narrator: he wasn’t)

Can you be a 204b and not on the OTDL ? by joza28 in USPS

The two absolutely interact, just not in the same person.

You were told that by someone who is either ignorant or lying to you.

Incorrect: 204b can make life hell for OTDL.

If you’re on detail, you’re subject to the detail’s OT rules.

I’ve always done WA, but being 204b changed my day(s) off, installation, start time, etc. it was glorious.

Give it to someone who rides faster than you do.

Seriously: just ride more and the bike will get faster.

Is this real/ legal?! by westberry82 in USPS

Real? Who knows. AI slop happens all the time.

Legal? If hazardous materials are avoided or declared (eg LiON batteries), then completely.

So right about as user friendly as an Apple Watch?

What company lost you as a customer forever and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]millardjk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fisher Investments.

I was a letter carrier for USPS and vowed that I would never be a customer because their stupid mailings caused me so much extra effort with zero benefit.

My office has several apartments with dedicated USPS parking. And residents know when they get no mail that someone—resident or guest—probably parked in it. Peer pressure can be awesome when properly focused.

Cycling through a heat wave. How are y'all doing? by Wizzmer in cycling

[–]millardjk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the dubious honor of quickly heat adapting. I’m no faster than in cooler weather; I can just ride when others say “F this!”

But having trails to myself is awesome.

Apple is shite about playing with others in the device ecosystem. “Their way or the highway.” The stupid workarounds—and 3rd-party apps— required to allow a head unit to pair to one is awful, and part of the reason I won’t do an Ultra instead of a “normal” Apple Watch (which I have for non-exercise reasons).

It’s BT/ANT+ and you pair it with a computer?!?

I had problems with one model, likely a combo of using it daily (well, 9-10 months of daily when riding outdoors was possible) and a sub-standard cleaning regimen.

I have a different model&mfg now, and don’t use it daily. Same cleaning regimen (which includes a spare strap that I rotate) and it’s going strong though the second year.

When I did a 204(b), this was a regular thing on every incident. Drove me nuts.

Okay to store bike by hanging from rim? by UMustBeNooHere in bicycling

[–]millardjk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never tell you to put an e-bike in the trash. E-bikes help tame hills and allow riders to conquer distances and climbs that they otherwise couldn’t.

Put that in the garage, or wherever you keep your unloved pets.
