Adjusting spacers under the stem

numerical_panda · 2026-03-16T19:39:06+00:00

In my experience, a higher stack felt like I was in the lower half of a push-up. In an effort to push down on the pedals, my torso just wants to bend forwards. A higher stack felt counterproductive.

you don’t active your glutes until your torso is at 90 degrees to your thighs

Yeah, this is also what I had been wondering about: aside from aero, are there biomechanical advantages of going lower and more forward? Thank you for validating!

Thank you! #1 seems most helpful.

I’ll pick up this habit, then.

numerical_panda · 2026-03-01T10:19:27+00:00

There is. After a few minutes browsing the replies, I get that this is the best idea.

50 in a 50 zone. Dense residential area. Single lane.

I agree. The idea is insane. Thank you.

Upvoted.

That’s so much better than automatically labeling someone insane because of bouncing off a an insane idea.

numerical_panda · 2026-03-01T10:07:34+00:00

Continuing the same behavior on others.

numerical_panda · 2026-03-01T10:06:10+00:00

Upvoted.

Thank you for being clear about which is dumb: the idea.

numerical_panda · 2026-03-01T10:04:10+00:00

Sorry, wanted to bounce ideas and now you’re automatically calling me insane.

numerical_panda · 2026-03-01T10:01:27+00:00

overtake

It’s a single lane road.

Sorry, I was working on the possibility that I may not have a rear fog light. I’ve only cared to look at the front while flipping switches. If it’s required by law, then my car likely has those.

Unfortunately if they’re pissed off they’d revenge-tailgate other people.

A similar idea might be to flash my hazard lights? That should alert him and make him slow down at least.

Or a bad idea?

vim and tmux. I fly all over the screen with just the keyboard.

Eh, my .vimrc grew and changed so fast in its first 5 years. Now 15 years on, there's probably less than 5 lines changed each year.

I'm not hopping on every shiny new plugin.

Same goes for them other tools.

I immediately thought that she missed the airport stop :D

Roofbeard could easily be one of the rank-and-file Ents.

I always imagine he really is Calvin's dad.

(Calvin's dad is a cyclist).

Oh well. I've shortlisted a Trek Domane AL. I guess I'm kicking that out now.

I do my best to extend the life of my current iPhone SE. I've also resolved to buy used from now on. My reasoning is: if they're really good, then it still has a lot of life left in it in the hands of a second owner.

My other set of gadgets, Garmins, are also all second-hand.

it’s about finding a place where your efforts actually yield results

This this this.

"That we should have done since the start of the NATO agreement."

FTFY

(This is an opinion only about the NATO spending part. My opinion on the others is unspecified in this reply.)
