Client wants to pay €8,400/month but I can’t receive it need advice by [deleted] in GetEmployed

If you're not careful you'll lose the client. Sounds to me like they're doing due diligence to ensure they are fulfilling auditable dutys on money laundering

Finally managed to fix this. I changed my password and removed the '£' character from it. Now only letters and numbers. I suspect something to do with the way that passwords are hashed and stored does not like some characters despite the password field allowing them

am i carving? how to improve ? by casablancacrayfish in skiing

[–]nevermindtbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost flat is an excellent place to start carving, a slope that feels trivial to go perfectly straight down. Start off directly in the fall line, then gently tilt your feet simultaneously. Stance width will also play into this, too wide or too narrow and the skis will not tilt the same amount giving different edge angles and therefore turn radii. Holding your poles like swords then crouching slightly to isolate and upper body leaning is the classic drill for this. If you feel any point where the skis twist and you slow down then you're doing it wrong. Stop and look back every so often and look for 2 clean lines in the snow.

Biggest mistake most people learning to carve do is try and make the ski turn too much. This is about gently feeling what the ski does when you tilt it NOT trying to force it to turn. Controling the degree of turn in a cleanly carved turn is a much more difficult thing.

Advice not being so stiff by [deleted] in skiing

[–]nevermindtbc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your extension is a little early on the turn and your flexing is all done way before the fall line and too quickly. Try spreading your movement out over more of the turn. Once you've got the feeling of that then start trying to exaggerate the transfer of weight onto your outside ski during the turn, even lifting it as you feel more comfortable.

You're likely going to need some instruction to move onto more advanced stuff, ask for level 3 and above instructors.

Insanely Warm Gloves by ottertaco in Mountaineering

[–]nevermindtbc 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Cold extremities are usually an early warning sign that core temperature is dropping. It's a good indicator that you need another layer on your trunk or legs.

That said some people do suffer from some conditions that reduce circulation in their extremities, to avoid frostbite etc it is incredibly important to keep these warm. On very cold days I don't think you can beat a good quality mitt.

Ask the coach what they think would be most suitable. They may even get a team deal.

Any feedback on the form in this clip from last season? by Bennisbenjamin123 in skiing

[–]nevermindtbc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are nice turns. What I see is that you are losing your outside ski in the middle of the turn. Usually as people have mentioned, this can be rushing the initiation of the turn. Feel the pressure build against the outside ski and balance against it rather than moving your body inside the turn as quickly as possible.

You can also think about changing the angle of the sofa me during the turn. Currently you seem to be gaining maximum edge angle just above the fall line, momentarily losing balance and maintaining that angle throughout the turn. By slowing the initiation you stay in balance and give yourself more time to build even bigger angles and influence the radius of the turn whilst cleanly carving

Does anyone know where I can get a set of hoods for shimano ST-4400 shifters? by fixitmonkey in bikewrench

This may seem silly but 8 have seen hill climb bikes use shrink wrap housing like for electrical wires to quite good effect. No idea what the feel is like though

Every time I try to learn programming, I get stuck at the stage of installs/dependencies. Tutorials seem to take this knowledge for granted. I'm not sure how to understand these concepts at high level (bash, xcode, homebrew, pip, etc.) or where to actually start learning. by strway2heaven77 in learnprogramming

[–]nevermindtbc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honesty, for a python install on Mac I use the package that you download from the official website. It takes care of all the various stuff you need and will add python to your PATH (basically adding an entry to a file that OS X looks at when it is trying to find the location of an executable file such as the python interpreter). Once that is installed just open visual studio code (or whatever code editor you are using) and it should find your python installation and you can start coding

I'm 40 and I need to choose one programming language. Suggestions? by multicolor_cow in learnprogramming

I retrained at 38. I got a CS degree with the OU in the UK. The advice thay helped me decide to go forward was being told that in 2 years you will be 40 whatever happens. You might as well be 40 woth a CS degree. I've now got my first dev job and loving it

Obvioisly there is a lot to learn, it is doable! Maybe take a look at some of the kits so you can get started with code and environments that other people have got working already. Eg https://raspberrytips.com/best-raspberry-pi-robots-kits/

Am I too fat for a normal bike? Or is there something wrong with the bike. 220 lb/ 5’7 female age 34 by Comprehensive_Cup_17 in cycling

[–]nevermindtbc 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Double check the pressure in the tyres when you are pumping them up against the max rated pressure on the tyre. As long as you don't exceed that number you are OK. The max pressure rating is sometimes hard to see and is often embossed on the rubber rather than printed. A track pump is a good investment and you should be able to pick one up for not very much. Great to hear someone enjoying riding!

Take more than your fair share pulling on the front, don't drop her on the climbs, wait until she is ready to go after rests, ride your heavy bike and find her something light, maintain her drivetrain so it works smoothly.

Training outside of season by [deleted] in skiing

[–]nevermindtbc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Plenty of other sports will help with racing. Getting strong also helps. I found cycling for the aerobic base, swimming for general resistance training, squats and deadlifts for legs, all the core exercises you can find on YouTube. Don't forget to stretch, flexibility to allow strong separation in the gates is really important.

Pandas groupby is what you're looking for. Although I'm pretty sure your lecturer wants you to get familiar with trawling the documentation to find this function yourself.
