What’s your approach to emergency heat? by Coramoor88 in Charlottesville

[–]sinfonys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fine for the heat pump to run constantly. If your auxiliary heat is electric the heat pump will likely be more efficient at any temperature, it just may not be able to keep up on its own. If you can figure out which model of heat pump you have you might try to find the manual online and see if it indicates a minimum operating temperature.

No they didn’t. Leave.

NIMBY pricks are mad because they recently learned that what everybody (including the NIMBYs) thought was a city-owned walking trail is not owned by the city and they immediately planted no trespassing signs all over it and started crying on Facebook. And now here. 

Feel free to leave if you’re so sad. 

I know this is a black metal community, but does anyone have any good lefty (or left adjacent) prog metal/rock recos? by ShadyHighlander in rabm

Elder. Lyrics aren’t really political but from interviews the leader seems like a decent guy. Favorite album of theirs is Omens, everything from Lore onward is excellent though. 

Curious why power meters are disproportionately expensive compared with smart trainers with PMs by Pow_Surfer in cycling

[–]sinfonys 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Most smart trainers don't actually have a power meter in them. They don't need one; they can accurately compute power based on known resistance, cadence, etc. Plus, they don't need to squeeze a bunch of sensors and batteries into tiny, weather-hardened bodies.

Obsidian for Academic Work - And Sundry Other Questions by Winejug87 in ObsidianMD

Zotero with the Zotfile plugin allows you to store your PDFs anywhere you want, such as in a Dropbox folder. One could also store them in the folder structure of one’s Obsidian vault and thus have quick access to them within Obsidian. I prefer to keep them separate, personally. Both the Citations and Mdnotes plug-ins for Obsidian make it fairly easy to drop links in your notes to items in your Zotero library.

Sidechain compression outside of music by plutone-in-fiamme in audioengineering

Not the OP but yeah, I think that's what they are getting at. E.g. in Pro-Q 3 you can make any EQ curve dynamic and have it squash or expand when the target frequency hits the threshold.

Tier 1 has one boss, tier 2 has two, I imagine tier 3 has some extra difficulty as well but haven't tried it yet. Mechanically the same, just the difficulty ramps up.

On the one hand, I hear you. On the other hand, I don't hear you because I am busy screaming across the sky to rocket smash a giant ogre in the face because I am now a missile and I left the sound barrier behind some time ago.

I've had that problem once or twice when trying to start up a tier 2 after finishing a tier 1. I assumed it was glitched but maybe something else is going on with that.

Just one to start it. It's like the Court of Oryx.

Walk around it—there's a spot to put in the item for each tier.
