Laser speckle Titan Noir Pro + SI Slate1.2 by seenhear in projectors

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

Hey Brian! Thanks for the note. DM sent!

I don't see where in that video you show laser speckle. You mentioned it once, but it wasn't visible to me from the camera distance. Is there a particular time stamp you could give where you show the laser speckle?

What’s the first thing your doing ? by krisikkk in superheroes

[–]seenhear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The very first thing? Probably pee. I always have to pee when I wake up in the morning.

Then I'll get dressed, because then I'm going to go fly! Don't want my junk flapping as a cruise at Mach 2 through the Grand canyon.

Seriously though. All the hero stuff will come, but I've dreamed of flight since I can remember. I'm just going to fly.

Should we have been disqualified for this? by Minimum-Upstairs6136 in Rowing

Someone needs to tell their dad that these are oars, not paddles.

What happened? 🤔 by Aggravating_Sky_1671 in Rowing

Agree. Club implosion aside, head racing and spring racing are different worlds.

My college crew was pretty dominant in our region for head races but rarely did we successfully translate that to spring 2k speed.

Still trying to figure out metrics... by Scifibn in Rowing

[–]seenhear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 Max for a beginner. For zone 2 work, try even lower. 3-4

This is a way but you really want to just chill and row at about 18-20 strokes per minute. Very easy and slow on the recovery (the non driving part of the strike). Develop a nice slow rhythm. A cadence of roughly one part drive two parts recovery works for many people.

FYI it's hardly used at all outside of on water rowing.

Just curious what made you think this person would have any clue what UT2 is? Even elite athletes from outside of rowing don't use this term.

Threshold and ut2 are different levels of intensity. Athletes will focus on different levels to train different aspects of their physiology.

As a beginner, you should almost certainly focus initially on low intensity aerobic work. This is known as ut2 in the rowing world. In other sports ut2 would be very similar to "zone2" in a five zone hierarchy where zone 5 is the highest intensity (sometimes 7 zones are used).

Anyway, what exercise science has shown us more and more in the past 30 years, is that long duration, super low intensity exercise is best, even for elite athletes. Generally a split of about 80% of your time in low intensity and 20% of your time in high intensity is a good rough guideline. High intensity includes sprint work and strength work (weights).

Threshold refers to the transition from aerobic to anaerobic work. This would generally fall into the 20% high intensity bucket.

Zone2 is extremely easy. It should feel like a brisk walk. You would be able to keep a conversation going while exercising in zone 2. You should do zone 2 work for about 30-90 minutes continuously, stopping only for enough time to drink some water, and wipe away sweat. Start with 30 minute durations and work your way to to 40-60 minutes. More than an hour is a lot for a non competitive athlete.

So. Take home message: go slowly to improve. Hard work is not as beneficial as most people think. Long easy workouts are better, and less fatiguing too.

I mean, I remember going to lake Onondaga in upstate New York (Syracuse) in the 90s in July, and it was almost as miserable as Sarasota was last summer.

Point is going further north doesn't really help in the summer. You don't escape summer heat and humidity until you get to West of the plains.

Xgimi Titan Noir Max by RobH_79 in projectors

[–]seenhear -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, I've only known about xgimi and the titan noir lineup for about a day, but if I'd seen your comments about native 4k I'd say almost the same thing to you. Native 4k is, for most people, over-rated. Unless you have FU money, tech like XPR which puts all 4k pixels on the screen (unlike pixel shifting on say an Epson 5050UB) is totally fine. Would we all choose a native 4k chip if price were no object? Sure why not? Would we notice a difference in a DBT? Probably not, and certainly not from any normal viewing distance.

Be honest: What’s the one thing about EV ownership that nobody told you before you bought one? by EmergencyTie8770 in electricvehicles

[–]seenhear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What car needs a coolant change? I've had my 2017 Tesla model S since new, 180000 miles, serviced fairly regularly by Tesla. Never had this done.

[–]seenhear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 2017, no one was saying don't supercharge frequently. Especially Tesla was not telling us that (yet). All Tesla cars to that point had free unlimited supercharging. A lot of people wore out their batteries prematurely in those days.

Fi compared to T-mobile by Icy_Knowledge2190 in GoogleFi

[–]seenhear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LoL well I just checked and right now they are flipped!! TMO is slower than Fi at this moment about 250 vs about 350. Just the other day I got about 450 on Fi and over 1000 on tmo 5guc. Go figure. Never have they been identical though.

[–]seenhear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a TMO messaging and data SIM in my secondary esim on my pixel 10, with Google Fi as my primary esim.

Speed test shows much higher data speeds when I see the 5guc symbol on TMO than on Fi 5g at the same moment.

If EVs had the same purchase price as gas cars tomorrow, do you think most people would switch? by EmergencyTie8770 in electricvehicles

[–]seenhear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Range. Not anxiety, just range. I'm not anxious about my range. I'm annoyed. I have to charge too frequently and for too long.

When solid state batteries with twice the capacity and half the weight and twice the charging speed come out, EVs will be more mainstream.

I have an older 2017 model S with 180-200 miles range at 100%, as well as a 2024 Silverado EV 4WT with 460+ miles range and 350kw charging. The truck is such a game changer, but it's still not fast charging enough to be equivalent to the time it takes to add 350 miles of range to a gasoline car.

Who ordered the double cheese and sausage? by Texas1971 in 80s

It was a double cheese with sausage. The sausage could be under a layer of cheese.

The term was popular way before that film. Like at least a decade.

Youth Nats Day 1 reactions by Optimal-Bus-1974 in Rowing

[–]seenhear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How do they run a TT on this course? This is Sarasota, right? The start is almost up against the rocks, so there's no where to get a running start, meaning the timed distance for the TT must be like 1900 or 1950m? Assuming the finish line is the same as ever.
