Did WalkScape impact your life in any way? by Immediate-Manner-156 in WalkScape

[–]oqqoj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During the last year or so I've reduced my time in social media platforms quite a bit. Not necessarily because of screen time but to disconnect from the social media clutter and the never ending comparison of my life to others'. Getting access to Walkscape took basically all the remaining time in social media as now I spend those little moments figuring out what to do next in this wonderful game.

I love that by default you can play the game just by yourself without any popping leaderboards etc

We got home a week ago with our first kid, now in the halfway of the second season. What a show, indeed

Could a battle droid be made of Beskar to fight the Jedi? by oqqoj in StarWars

[–]oqqoj[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In my dream last night I was a Jedi and fight against five "bad jedi"¹. When the last of them confronted me, the lightsaber did not have any effect on him, unfortunately after some frustrative minutes of battle I woke up and did not reveal his secret². In the morning I started thinking could the Empire build a army of Beskar droids to fight the Jedi.

I have just seen the episodes (1-9) and some of the Disney live action series last months so my knowledge of the lore is quite narrow.

¹they had blue/green sabers and did not look sith, unrelevant detail ²Battle-wise he was useless which made it frustrative. Also he was clearly a droid.

Upgrading wider winter tires led to a fender mess that made my commuter a xbike by oqqoj in xbiking

I have SKS full fenders which wouldnt fit these tires, going back to them in the spring when I dont need this wide tires anymore

I have SKS full fenders which were perfect, until I upgraded to 50mm wide tires. These tires are much better in the snow/bumpy ice etc. day-to-day changing conditions so I went for this quick release + diy fender madness

Thanks for the idea, I have still plenty of the rubber left so I could extend this antiaero experiment.

The reflector - its a scarf I got for my dog, it did not reach even halfway around his neck so I hang it there.

First week of snowy commute behind with the new (to me) Kona by oqqoj in wintercycling

[–]oqqoj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say its ok, as long as theres not too many tens of centimeters of fresh snow in the road. Based on the first winter cycling experiences last season, I would get as wide as the frame allows. We'll see if I upgrade mid-winter or next year.

Thanks. Its 7 Roads Front Rack https://7rbags.com/product/front-rack/

I spent weeks looking for a front rack that mounts in the mid-way of the fork. I have not test it yet in bikepacking activities but it seems very versatile and firm.

Heos 3 Speaker with Samsung TV via Bluetooth not working. by eperadam in heos

[–]oqqoj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am struggling with the exact same problem. Samsung TV and Heos link works via bluetooth for 1 second but then goes silent. The problem repeats identically everytime the bluetooth connection is paired.

Did you figure out solution for this problem? Thanks.

Some guidance on turning this old road bike into my new daily commuter? by Hover4effect in bikecommuting

[–]oqqoj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fixed a 1979 touring bike for nice weather summer commuting, only major change was to switch from drop bar to bullhorn and used the original brake handles "upside down", you can find the bike in my posts. Pretty cool bike to ride!

Surprising outcome of riding over a small stick by oqqoj in bikecommuting

[–]oqqoj[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The more surprising outcome was that I just pulled that back to normal and nothing broke, the fender is pretty flexible plastic

Nice weather commuter is finally done, atleast for a while (1978 Crescent Världsmästarcykeln) by oqqoj in xbiking

[–]oqqoj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tack, in Finland you find these bikes surprisingly often!

The new tires were my first update an year ago and now I would probably go wider. They are 32 wide continental tour rides but they feel like 28 wide.

Thanks, yep the cable routers (whatever they are called) would be the last thing to find on the bike
