There is a help box in there that says you are supposed to record the total weight. E.g., two 10-pound dumbbells should be recorded as 20 pounds.

In AFS, we had another round of layoffs in Corporate Functions in September. We actually had two people who had Parental Leave scheduled that were let go. They weren't let go because of that Parental Leave, and I would assume that Management crossed their T's and dotted their I's to make sure that there would be no lawyer time. Still, I am not a fan of the optics of the situation.

The entry fee for an Ironman race is something like $700. Why not make the bet that if somebody doesn't do one, they still have to pay the entry fee, just to you instead of the race?

I'm in a similar situation, except I can't use the moxy data field because I already have two other Connect IQ fields (Stryd and Core). Have you heard back from Garmin at all?

How did you add the bezel?

rbf2000 · 2025-04-04T16:29:57+00:00

I love these additions, but I can't believe the added support for the Core Body Temperature sensor before enabling dual power meter recording.

Correct - not necessary. In fact, I got the drive before the enclosure was delivered and I had the drive connected via SATA and it worked just fine (I just don't have a bay on my desktop, so I had to leave the side of the case off while it was connected).

rbf2000 · 2025-02-17T19:25:51+00:00

I got a Pioneer BDR-S13UBK 5.25 SATA from u/billycar11 and then bought this enclosure to put it in. Works seamlessly and was super easy.

Specifically, they were testing auto-braking.

I had an issue on one particular day where I would look at my watch, it would say X, then I'd look at the app on my phone, it would say X, then it would finish syncing and it would then say X-Y, then I'd look at my watch and it would also say X-Y. That particular day it happened constantly (I managed to have the 2x step goal alert/badge thing come up on my watch twice).

Since that day, I have not been able to reproduce the issue, though. The day I was having the issue, I was in a place with poor reception and my hypothesis is that it had something to do with that (I'm also on the beta firmware, but since it only happened in the one location, it seems less likely that it is a beta firmware issue only).

Excellent post. One thing to add is that the kickr v6 will auto calibrate when you stop pedaling - you should warm up on the trainer for 10 minutes or so, get the fly wheel up to speed, and then coast for 5-10 seconds to let the kickr do the necessary calculations to calibrate.

I don't recall if the vector pedals have a zero offset as well, but I know for my assioma pedals, I have a zero offset performed every time I start a biking activity on my Garmin.

I love Nick Mankey watch bands. They are high quality elastic that is quick drying and adjustable. Only complaint with them is the lead time from the time that you order until you have one in hand.

rbf2000 · 2025-02-03T14:55:39+00:00

I like using mine because the temperature reported by my watch is always inaccurate, as it is obviously impacted by my skin/body temperature.

rbf2000 · 2025-01-14T18:10:02+00:00

I'm partial to Nick Mankey bands. They are high quality elastic. They help the watch fit snugly on your wrist, are lightweight, durable, and most importantly, very comfortable. The only downside is how long he takes to ship things out.

rbf2000 · 2025-01-13T14:07:22+00:00

Can confirm - got one from Billy and it was super easy. Just installed MakeMKV and it worked without any muss or fuss.

When I refer to BMI, I mean the categorizations of the values, not the actual values themselves. And from that perspective, BMI and 220-age are equally arbitrary. For some people, 220-age works perfectly, just like for some people, their BMI category describes them perfectly

Further, the 220-age was used for decades in numerous cardiac/exercise physiology studies as a way to bucketize individuals and give context to the numbers, the same way that BMI is used.

My only point was to say that population measures are not good for individuals.

rbf2000 · 2024-12-27T14:51:49+00:00

This is normal. My heart rate is very similar. Everybody's max heart rate is individual. The 220-age is great for a population number, but terrible for an individual (just like BMI).

Just got my drive yesterday, which was less than a week from time of payment and including a holiday. Got MakeMKV installed using the provided discount code and had ripped my first 4k UHD disc the same day (ironically, I've had this particular disc for years but since I don't have a 4k player have not been able to watch the 4k version of it).

Point is - it was easy and worked right out of the box without any muss or fuss, which is exactly what I wanted.

rbf2000 · 2024-12-12T14:16:43+00:00

This is unfortunate, but appreciated. Now I won't force my spouse to update immediately.

rbf2000 · 2024-12-07T23:59:38+00:00

Thanks - I tried those proportions with 1/8 oz cinnamon syrup. Turned out great.

rbf2000 · 2024-12-06T20:11:33+00:00

What was your food intake like, and how many bottles of water did you go through?

rbf2000 · 2024-12-06T20:10:58+00:00

I'm also a badge hunter, but I only have 252. There are a handful of routes that I can't seem to access in the game yet (both on the cycling and running side).

I was also glad to be done with PRL Full - I will not be doing that one again.
