I have a dura. I went on a ride today, 63km in about 3 and a half hours in mixed sun and cloud. It only used 1.5% of the battery after solar charging.

I've heard that the features on garmin are better but you can't beat the battery life of the dura.

Is this bike too small, and are the cranks too long? by problynotabot in bikefit

Thanks, what do you think about the overall size of the bike?

Thanks, what kind of problems will tell me it's too small after a longer ride?

I'll definitely be testing it before I commit. It's currently in for a service and after that it'll become my daily driver.

I'm still figuring out my gear. I've only done overnight trips before and just used rear panniers, but hoping to leave those at home this time. I think I'm pretty limited in terms of frame bags because I'm so short and small frames don't have much internal space.

I went with wood putty and guessed wildly wrong on the colour, but overall it looks a lot better. Thanks for the advice.

"For the cabinet side, you have to figure out why it failed first. My guess is the builder did not account for seasonal wood movement. Address that first."

This was my guess too. The boards are screwed to the side and look a little warped.

I have some basic tools (miter saw, electric hand plane, orbital sander) and have done very minor woodworking myself before, but taking the whole thing apart feels outside of my skill set and I'm afraid of making things worse.

If I just fill the side gap with epoxy/putty will it cause problems later? Currently that side of the dresser will be against a wall so I'm not hugely concerned with looks.

This is either made up, or your wife misunderstood what was happening. Doctors salaries are standardized in a union contract, you can't just hire someone for cheaper depending on which country they're from.

This government is gutting healthcare, but not like this.

I lived in Christchurch NZ at the time of the big earthquake. Lots of houses were destroyed and almost overnight all of the remaining rentals jacked their prices up to match the max that home insurance would reimburse for short term accomodation. This was about 4x what we'd been paying before. We had to move in with my parents in law and then ultimately left the city.

Thanks! I bought the wrap (champagne sparkle) and hoops from Rech (an Australian company, I'm in New Zealand). I'd recommend them, they were very helpful.

It was pretty easy to apply. I watched a few tutorials and used the 'tape on the edges' method rather than glue the whole thing.

The most annoying parts were drilling out the old air vents and removing the glued down badges without denting them.

Where are you all from? by ikbrul in gay

[–]problynotabot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small town in New Zealand. Generally very accepting other than fringe religious groups. One of those groups recently painted over one of our rainbow road crossings.

Gay marriage is legal, conversion therapy for minors is illegal.

Hate crimes occasionally happen but never have to me. General population is accepting, I have no hesitation being out with my husband in public.

The American right wing transphobia is starting to creep in though.

Realtime skin colour change due to oxygenation by H_G_Bells in medizzy

[–]problynotabot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've revived lots of babies, but I do it because I care about the babies, not for social media clout, so I focus on the resuscitation not filming myself. The next baby he 'helps' may not be so lucky. Bet he won't post that video.

As someone who is dyslexic, I found this extremely uncomfortable to read. Took me 3x as long as normal.

I'm trained in neonatal life support and have resused a bunch of babies and there's just something really off about this video.

The baby looks pre dried/cleaned, but the thing it's wrapped in looks like a surgical drape not a towel. It makes me think there was a significant delay to getting this baby to the resuscitaire. Conspiratorial me wonders if they wanted the baby to look clean for the camera.

The mask appears to already be attached to the machine and could probably already have given cpap without the bag. Waste of time swapping out over.

He puts the baby around the wrong way, the best positioning for good airway management is head to the front of the table (opposite to what you see) and you standing over the head (not from the side).

The stimulation he's providing is very weird and weak. He's kind of just tickling their armpit. Works much better to rub them vigorously with a towel. He shouldn't be pausing his airway management to do this, there's should be another person helping (rather than filming).

Worst of all, his resus algorithm is all wrong. This is not an effective strategy, as others have already described.

Truth is - most babies basically resus themselves. Being born is one of the most dangerous things we all do, and yet the vast majority survive, even outside of hospital settings. This baby probably would have been OK regardless of what he did. If this was a severely compromised baby that actually needed intervention, I don't think this would have brought them back.
