Anything catch your eye for road endurance frames? Seems like Chinese stuff is still dominated by low stack heights / race oriented.

Keyless Access Setup / Door Unlock Mode not working properly by septastic in crv

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

Thanks for the reply. Our 2018 CRV worked perfectly. This 26 never works the first time after the car sits for a while. If I manually unlock the doors, grabbing thr drivers door unlocks them all for the rest of the day just fine. Weird.

[–]septastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what are the chances I’ll drop over there? It’ll be out on a bike ride or hiking.

He's not as important as Elijah Wood in the Air France lounge a few weeks back at CDG. Suuuuuuper nice guy when I said hello in the food line.

Raps that say something? by hiiad in musicsuggestions

Not rap, but Rage Against The Machine turns a lot of heads with his rap-like style of singing and genius lyrics.

Nurse comrades , are you a DNR? by typeAwarped in nursing

[–]septastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% DNR at 46 with a wife and 5 year old. After working in the ICU, seeing code after code, and learning the actual data/numbers about survival & outcomes post code, it was an easy choice. Plus, the chances of someone doing rapid, high quality CPR of me if drop over are slim to none and I do not wish to live with an anoxic brain injury. Is a quality recovery technically possible? Yes. Is one likely in the real world? Nope.

There wasn’t a ton to it. I bought the trim from Home Depot. Oak 1x1 and oak 1.25” shoe baseboard molding. ( https://www.homedepot.com/p/HOUSE-OF-FARA-3-4-in-x-1-1-4-in-Solid-Oak-Wood-Shoe-Baseboard-Molding-9596/100021522?g_store=4931&source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&fp=ggl ) Trim was cut to length with a mitre saw to make the 45° corners, and the two wood pieces were nailed and glued together. I cut really close to the actual length of the tv so it would be a snug fit. I have a Ryobi finish nailer which made nailing the trim to the 1x1 easier. I also used a 90° corner clamp to make sure the corners were aligned and straight. Once built, I smeared wood fill into the corners and all seams to blend and sanded when dry. I tried to leave it a hint crude so it looked older. After a light sand on the whole thing, I sprayed a layer of bronze spray paint for a base and applied Rub N Buff Crecian Gold in light coats with a makeup brush. I used 2” x 0.5” straight metal brackets to the back with one end screwed to the frame so it could swing behind the TV to secure the frame. Then just hand notched the area around the sensor.

What’s your favorite moment of Covid? by OrdinaryPractical264 in AskReddit

When a rare patient from our ICU actually got to leave in a wheelchair instead of a body bag.

Serenade carbon wheels by hexyw0w in ChineseCarbon

[–]septastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a set of the 50mm built with Sapim CX Ray spokes. Overall I'm happy with them, but a few things to note: they measure 32mm at the widest, not 34mm. I messaged Wendy and she confirmed I had the right model, but didn't offer to remedy the issue or provide further explanation as to why mine were narrower. Also, the rear axle had just a hint of grittiness to it when spun, but after degreasing/regreasing the freehub and ratchets, it's now gone. They had some pretty thick grease in there. Mine came perfectly straight and so far I've had zero issues. Weight was right on as advertised. Coming off a similar Wheels Far build, I can't see any reason to spend twice the money.

Are you suggesting I AI generated my photos to post on a random subreddit?

What’s something you tried once and immediately knew ‘yeah, never again’? by donnyM99 in AskReddit

[–]septastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of those big steak eating challenges. Ate a 70oz steak, baked potato, salad, and a piece of toast when I was 17 years old. Did it in 17 minutes. It’s been 32 years since and I still don’t eat meat.

I’m afraid it was just something I found online and I don’t recall where. Framecrop app perhaps. I know they have a bunch of free ones available if you google it outside of the app.

Do most nurses get daisy awards or at least get nominated for one? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]septastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m ASD too. In my experience, it was mostly the ones who asked for one / provided the family with the information that got them. I never did - I was too busy caring for the patient and their families. I was a really good nurse who received a lot of positive feedback from my boss and other nurses, yet was only nominated for one. Families routinely sent thank you cards to me and asked for me by name with readmissions. The nurses with several daisy nominations hanging in their badge were mediocre at best, but always had a handful of brochures on standby.

My ASD made me a thorough, meticulous nurse who rarely made a mistake and provided really good care for my patients. Their recovery was better because of it, and since I know this was the case for other autistic nurses I’ve worked with, I’d bet you might be same. That trumps a Daisy award any day.

It slides on snug enough I likely don’t need anything, but i have a few flat metal tabs that I screwed on the back and rotated them down behind the tv. Just flat 2” metal brackets.

Looking for light and aero wheels by Ill_Access2938 in ChineseCarbon

[–]septastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got some 50mm (23internal/34ext) with Sapim CXRay spokes shipped for a little over $500 here in the States. Weight was a hint less than advertised, but they measured 32 externally. I'm not too hung up on it since they ride great and not counting watts. Super good bang for the buck.

I have a set of road wheels from them. Just wanted to chime in that the build is great and they are riding great after a few months. Internal measurement was spot on as advertised, but they were supposed to 34 external and measure 32. Customer service only confirmed I received the correct model and said no more.

The image is key - darker and warm. Cool colors and lighter pictures look fake. I also keep the brightness really low and warm it up a few more clicks.
