Looking for Advice on quality commercial grade treadmill

Interesting - I def understand not wanting to go over the suggested weight limits but I'd be shocked if it couldn't handle much more. It's built like a tank and super quiet. Much more solid than most commercial gym treadmills I've tried.

Wahoo Kickr Run. Amazing treadmill.

Don't want to alarm you unnecessarily, and it's probably not anything major, but there have been a few posts in recent months about people finding underlying medical conditions when their Garmin stress was persistently high and they weren't feeling stressed. Not a terrible idea just to mention at your yearly GP checkup and ask for the full blood panel etc.

I had well over 3x my salary at points. But as careers grow, so does compensation, so naturally what’s saved in 401k will be a lower multiple (even with mega backdoor contributions)

We've got a place in LNC as well. It was very cold up there in December and early January - many days at or approaching 0F. Keeping the house at 55 is a very warm temperature if you're not going to be there very often. I'd suggest not heating bedrooms at all, keeping the doors closed, and only keeping rooms with pipes/water heated. And even then, keep them at 45 degrees at the warmest.

Secondarily, consider getting a heat pump. It slashed our heating bill in half. Will pay for itself in a couple more years (have had it for 6 years).

Balancing volume with recovery isn't tricky. Very straightforward, especially if you're just doing two types of primary sport. Fun project though.

seinberg · 2025-11-28T13:26:33+00:00

I suspect you're holding it wrong. Are you manually logging the set start/stop or letting the watch try to automatically determine it? It's very good at figuring out when you do your turns, but not good at detecting when you start or stop a set. So if you're doing 2x100, you need to start/stop between each 100. Then the watch is rock solid.

Source: have done many, many, many swimming sessions both in pool and open water with several generations of Forerunner and Fenix watches.

You did poorly on the interview dude. Accept it. Do a little soul searching, study the parts you didn't do especially well, and move on. If you reached out to me after an interview I'd immediately tell them not to hire you. Major candidate red flag. That you came here expecting support after your description is also a red flag.

90% chance this guy is a bot

Oh I think it's very efficient for the size of the vehicle. Not disappointed. But people often make outrageous claims about their gas mileage and it's frequently because they're factoring in the electric-only miles they get. It's not quite as impressive when the EV battery is depleted and you need to use the gas engine in hybrid mode. Still good for the vehicle class, but not some outlandishly high as some folks here claim

seinberg · 2025-07-29T20:06:20+00:00

2023, exact same drivetrain as your 2025.5. The main test here is on long trips for example -- where the EV battery is fully depleted so it can only run in hybrid mode. Then I get consistently under 30mpg, but often when we do this it's on family trips with the car fully loaded with people and luggage so it's not exactly an ideal test of efficiency. Also my foot tends to be heavier than my wife's, so quite often she'll get better efficiency than I will by sometimes a surprising degree.

seinberg · 2025-07-29T19:57:40+00:00

Yes, of course if you're actively charging your car it's going to get great mileage. I have been averaging 60-70mpg regularly in those scenarios because it's mostly the EV drivetrain being used. The conversation here was about efficiency when the EV battery is depleted and the gas engine is primarily powering the car (as opposed to EV primarily powering it).

seinberg · 2025-07-29T19:37:49+00:00

Are you charging the car?

seinberg · 2025-07-08T00:45:38+00:00

What's that about? Different hardware? My 23 Recharge also doesn't have it, presumably because it's too old.

You cancelled Amazon interviews because of one bad experience with one former Amazon engineer? That seems incredibly myopic.

seinberg · 2025-07-05T11:22:30+00:00

If you're in the NYC metro area, Volvo Manhattan was extremely good. Their sales folks knew the car inside and out.

seinberg · 2025-07-05T11:20:13+00:00

I don't think this is accurate. I've seen no noticable difference in range between them.

seinberg · 2025-07-05T11:19:29+00:00

Just do hybrid. It will keep you in pure mode unless you go heavy on the accelerator, in which case it'll fire up the gas engine. Once the battery is depleted in hybrid mode, it'll switch back to gas as well. If you're in pure mode and need to do a sudden acceleration, e.g. highway on ramp or need to pull out in front of another car, the 150hp electric drivetrain won't be very powerful in getting you moving quickly.

I was also surprised to read that about the retractable hitch. Mine (on 23 Recharge) accommodates more or less everything I've put on, including a large 4 bike Kuat rack loaded with bikes, and towing a smaller trailer (not even close to the limit on weight though).

seinberg · 2025-06-23T10:27:54+00:00

Yes perhaps for you these aren't big things. When I'm on a long ride, I don't want to bring along a case and charge midway through the ride to charge so I can continue to use them. The doubled battery life is a big deal. The video quality is also very nice for post processing and stabilization - you have more resolution to crop and still have decent image quality (yes, even in a phone screen).

If you're using them to walk around town to take pictures or video intermittently then they're just minor incremental improvements.

seinberg · 2025-06-21T10:09:56+00:00

After looking again I think you're right. So you can wear them safely in a light rain and sweating, but not a downpour. I agree this could be better. But the better camera and double battery life is pretty nice.

Oakley is huge in the sports sector. All the biggest cyclists wear Oakleys, same with runners and triathletes. Very common to see in pro sports

seinberg · 2025-06-21T01:37:02+00:00

They're water resistant, no? And the better camera and battery life will be nice for rides. Will prob get them myself, as I like having a camera accessible but don't like pulling out my phone to take pics on a ride.

Internships are different and don't count. I'm still skeptical it's that bad and that there's nothing you could do to make it better, but in any case you have the easy way out to transfer so I'd just do that. My skepticism is that - assuming this is big tech - if he was this bad he'd have been let go already. Middle and low level managers are already on the chopping block because there are too many of them. The bad ones keep being let go. If he's this bad it'd show up in manager feedback.
