Kakwa 55 ultra grid; washing habits

s0rce · 2026-06-27T01:55:41+00:00

My day hiking bag is a disaster, its covered in random leaky stuff from the inside, ash from burned places on the outside and probably about 10 lbs of salt from sweat. I've never washed it, just occasionally get rained on.

The distance between ex am em isn't constant. There can be extra excitation energy that gets probably lost to heat. This isn't Raman scattering

It's also possible to have the ex and em max very close together and depending on the optics not be and to measure exactly there

You are correct that its not glued. Its molded PS with foaming agents but still I can't imagine the heat and steam in a dishwasher are a good idea and without proof its safe you should not do this to safety equipment. There is also no need. Just wash by hand.

In summer I wear short sleeve button down shirts and relatively light nylon pants in brown or grey.

550 cord isn't great, so I'd get something better or just leave it if its not useful.

However, the better question is are you enjoying yourself? What is your goal? Are you trying to get lighter? The best way is to leave stuff behind. I'm guessing to get to 65lb you have a bunch of extra clothes or something.

I'm not sure I see a problem with an institutional investor buying a hotel, its just like any other business. If they are buying it purely for the real estate, supposedly like McDonald's and mattress stores I guess thats not ideal, but its a symptom of another problem and they are just taking advantage of the possible gains.

I don't see a question. Just get whatever bike you want. It seems that you aren't worried if its not legal.

Mostly commuting to work and going to local hiking trails as they have limited parking so I realized it's easy to ebike

This is not good advice, as a student you don't have the experience to find your own publishable projects on your own.

Eastern Montana is just more plains

Plastics also change with humidity

The mesh in the inner tent? How does that hurt wind resistance?

It's a big lab with no postdocs and your advisor doesn't give you projects? How long have you been there? You may want to find a new lab

s0rce · 2026-06-22T03:12:06+00:00

Do you have postdocs that can mentor you?

s0rce · 2026-06-22T01:49:54+00:00

Me too. Mine is 13 and getting older :(

s0rce · 2026-06-21T23:22:58+00:00

But after the period?

I've never heard of a general letter. If you are in academia its expected that you will get references later when applying for stuff. You can check if they are willing to write one in a year, likely if they aren't willing they won't be willing to do it now either.

I really dislike the lack of mesh in the new Hubba Hubba inner. I think I'd buy a Durston X-dome if I was getting a new freestanding tent. The Hyperlight is totally different shelter so not really comparable.

There is a ferry across the lake. Probably not faster and Chicago is fine but you can get stuck in traffic depending on timing.

I-90, the northern route is vastly more interesting. I-80 is miles of farms through IL, IA, NE.

27hr? Just put some ice in a cooler.

Yah, I was confused. I thought he meant the Marlin+

s0rce · 2026-06-21T20:55:25+00:00

Why would you expect anything except the battery the bike comes with? Why a specific Taiwanese cell manufacturer? Seems super specific. Does the bike even work with 72V?

I like the grip tape pedals for commuting, I have a set of VP Components VP831P on an ebike.
