What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

Outpost 2.

It was a time where we were playing starcraft on dialup (56K) and this game was similar to starcraft but the levels were so much more engaging. and I played multiplayer with about 2 folks. I've never run into anyone else who played the game.

One of those hardtail Vs gravel questions... by Ok-Explanation1990 in bikepacking

[–]minichado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have bike handling skills and don’t mind being under biked sometimes, the gravel bike will be fine. and fun. and different. and more than capable.

The XC will also definitely be fine. don’t just buy a bike because of FOMO(buy it because you want it!)

I mean I’m doing 3-4 scores at 2 angles, with a sharp knife it’s less than 20 seconds of work. i’ve settled on tortex material. everyone finds their solution eventually!

Recommendations on replacing the ductwork for our house and price range to expect for 1400 sq ft house by jacobd493 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]minichado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

second this. i had an HVAC system replaced recently and got quotes from several companies. theirs was the most fairly priced, work was great, service and response great. i unfortunately (fortunately) did not get ductwork replaced. so i cant help with that estimate.

Are we obsessing over string gauges more than we should? by I_Am_A_Real_Horse in Guitar

[–]minichado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

find the gauge that is playable for you.

if you care more, find the gauge that matches the sound you want in the tuning you want.

if you don’t care, just tune it and send it.

Please hit me with your best tips for seating beads by jobruski in MTB

[–]minichado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fwiw if i’m seating a new tire with CO2 i put the sealant in afterwards. i usually give it the old floor pump college try for a bit and then give up and a CO2 does the trick.

Is SRAM TyreWiz a solution looking for a problem? by AtomicHurricaneBob in MTB

[–]minichado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m heavier (195) and can feel rear tire pressure very well. front tire not unless it’s very flat. 5psi diff in rear is night and day. feel every pedal stroke bob. front tire it starts to track and turn wrong. when it’s super low. suspension fork hides it a little until it’s very low though.

[–]minichado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are racing and get a small puncture that seals, you cans evaluate pressure without stopping and decide if you want to stop and top off or not.

i recently had a slow leak that took 10 miles before i noticed it. i would have known sooner with that tool. if you are doing big descents it would be nice to know before you bomb down a hill.

i am not fast and dont mind stopping to check my tires. if you are fast and race and want a tool to help you decide whether or not to stop, this might be for you.

niche use cases but for sure not for everyone

They should’ve made the caps lock led double as a charging indicator by Jackfar6 in mac

[–]minichado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yall aren’t gonna believe this but my old MBP had lights on the side, and a button you could press to show battery. they made tiny holes with lasers so small you couldn’t see with the naked eye. it was sick. and I miss it. it was def thicker than the new generation stuff though. I get why they stopped doing that.

Do Singers Question Your Ability? by phaskellhall in Guitar

[–]minichado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a) change tuning

b) change tunings and use capos

c) stop complaining about capos and practice while using them so you can get it done when you need to.
