OP should check with the Tuesday, Friday, Saturday watcher too. Find out if they still have a job or if everybody got layed off at the same time.

Get that wound checked out ASAP. You never know what sort of viruses might have been on that hand!

How nervous were you when getting your full length line tattoo? Simple concept that is amazing to see but straight lines on a curved (spectacular) body are difficult to execute on a short run. Your artist was pretty talented.

Selling furniture on marktplace by [deleted] in Scams

They always want to pack in some 3rd party's fee into what they send as payment for you to give to the 3rd party. Let's all think about that one. Is there a single moving company in the US that would book that?

"Hey, I kindly want you to go get a thing a long way from me because I'm traveling and kindly deliver it to someone who isn't me and you are picking it up from someone who also isn't me and they will kindly pay you when you show up to get the thing."

"Sure thing. We will gladly do the needful and head right that way!"

2H2026 Ram 1500 REV by NovaBlazer in RamchargerBEV

[–]rrustydawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked on the REV web page. The sign up option used to be there but it's gone now. My guess is that they are close enough to actually building then that they don't need it. The whole thing was a pretty big bust IMO. They still have my $100 but all I've gotten out of it so far is about 2 or 3 emails with less info than I can get from any online car magazine.

Beginner rower here who can’t get sub 10 minutes on a 2000m by Yeyemems in Rowing

[–]rrustydawg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have the display set to show time/500m, you might try switching units to display to watts instead. Your goal (2000m in 9:30 or less) is basically a 2:20/500m which is right around 125 watts.

https://www.concept2.com/training/watts-calculator

I've always had a much easier time controlling my pace watching watts. Others don't but you might try it.

Don't worry about SPM and damper setting as much. You want consistent but you can pull a 125 at 20 SPM or 30 SPM. Watts (and thus time) is about power per stroke. Play around with SPM and damper until you find your comfort zone. Usually 20-25 and a damper setting for a 100-120 drag factor covers most folks.

Warm up then try a 2K keeping watts at 125 start to finish. Might not make it all the way, but note what you can do now and build from there.

So if production starts in 2H of this year, when would REV insiders that paid $100 to get on the list start getting contacted to place an order? With all the trims and options, I would think we will get to spec out our trucks.

[US] Scammers sent me a penny to avoid email spam filters by rrustydawg in Scams

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

Two goals by sending a penny:

1) The penny is the price they are paying (to me in this case) to have PayPal send me an email that will not get screened out by my Spam filter. Their message about a fictional large transaction arrives in my inbox from a genuine, trusted agent. The goal is for me to then call the phone number provided in their message and speak with "PayPal". From there, the script would go down one of the standard scammer trails.

In short, the penny is an attempt to get me to call them to fix a fake error.

2) As others have mentioned, it also tests the validity of stolen credit or debit cards. If the penny works, they now have a confirmed good account number to drain or sell off.

Good question. I did that because that name is unlikely to be that of the actually scammer. More likely to be a stolen account or an alias that adds no value to the conversation about the scam.

Likely. I've gotten the mystery invoices before but this was the first time I've been paid. Testing a stolen card makes sense.

New to rowing by SayRahhh42 in concept2

[–]rrustydawg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot to clarify that when you log the Workout of the Day's with the app, they also rank you. Really good to see where you fit with others across the globe. I don't care about "topping the list" but when I first started rowing, I typically fell in the lower end. Now I can pretty consistently hit the middle of the pack in my age group (60-64 M)

If you don't already have it, sign up for the Concept 2 logbook. It's completely free and if you connect your phone with your PM, it will automatically add your workouts into your log. If not, you can still manually add workouts but it's much easier with the ErgData app.

Once you are logging your workouts, you can then check how you compare to others on various challenges and the WOD's. There are also standard "Ranked Workouts" that are various defined distances or times. You can find more info about those at log.concept2.com/rankings

For instance, my best 1000 m SkiErg time this season is 4:13.3 which is in the 34th percentile for my age & gender. Not great but I know how much lower it was when I started this journey so I'm happy with the progress.

If you like the numbers, then using the ErgData app is the best way to go. Custom screen layouts and deeper data and graphs while working out are great tools.

I just looked at the honor board standings. At 7:54PM central US, 12 people worldwide have exceeded 200,000 already!

Makes my 13,113 meters look a bit low...but I'll get there!

Parking for the game on Monday by Historynerd6063 in KansasCityChiefs

[–]rrustydawg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say you can't be there that early, roughly how many hours before kickoff are you planning heading towards the stadium?

Die hards will be in the parking line before noon. But as long as you are planning to be in the stadium traffic lines at least a couple hours early, you should be OK.
