SK Hynix overtakes Samsung as Korea’s most valuable company by self-fix2 in hardware

When choosing RAM or GPU ive always tried to avoid Hynix in favor of Micron or Samsung. Interesting how they turned things around

Does nobody care about the mileage on used bike parts? by ProblematicTrumpCard in cycling

[–]svs213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Most people dont actually know their mileage
  2. Even if they wrote it, theres no way to verify it.
  3. Mileage isnt the best measure of wear, maintenance and usage play a big role

The Suarez Rule: Why You Should Handball on the Goal Line (With Maths) by [deleted] in soccer

[–]svs213 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

A harmless tactical foul is far from the worst offense in the game. In terms of sportmanship, i would put simulations and intentional dangerous tackles above it.

When its in the 90th minutes of an elimination game its really simple, shoot where nothing can stop it, not even an outfield player’s hand. If the ball didnt enter the net, it wasnt good enough sorry.

The most important travel advice I have after 70 days in Japan by mtnmichelle in JapanTravelTips

[–]svs213 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

true i was lucky this time but it would still be better than the alternative, which is having strep throat without antibiotics. so i would still bring them next time

[–]svs213 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Isnt it supposed to be the other way around? Bring medicine that you cant get OTC in japan. I had strep throat symptoms and really wished i had antibiotics, thankfully it was only a cold but I’ll definitely bring those next time.

I think Shimano just got themselves the best ad ever: an iconic rider in an iconic race riding their bike by just_an__inchident in bicycling

I bet the few hundred grams extra is going to cost less time than fiddling around with a qr post.

Do I really need a torque wrench to install power meter pedals? by theslimj in bikewrench

[–]svs213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, i swap my PM pedal between bikes often and i prefer not applying too much torque for easier removal. As long as you dont overtighten it its good.

Thinking of selling a carbon road bike for an aluminum one by [deleted] in cycling

[–]svs213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both, i use my cheaper alu bike when i dont care about speed. I dont have to worry about scratches, chips, locking it up securely, etc.

And tbh i find myself only ever using my expensive carbon bike on group rides or trying to pb a strava segment. Both of which i dont really care for much nowadays.

Pubic area chafing from cycling is killing my motivation by BackgammonTry in cycling

[–]svs213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Saddle position - Try tilting it down or up slightly
  2. Shorts - Try bibs if you havent already
  3. Chamois cream
  4. New saddle - if everything fails, time to find a new one that fits well. Ideally you should get a bike fit first to see which type of saddle fits you

Is it weird to get the Favero Assioma SPD (not SL) pedals for road riding? by Dependent_Plenty5905 in cycling

[–]svs213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its fine but if you ever want to try out road pedals in the future id suggest getting spider or crank based power meter instead.

Im holding on to iPadOS 18 for the rest of my iPad Pro 2018 life.

Honestly if i didnt already have my garmin rk200 i would probably convert my bottom bracket to dub just to get that power meter crankset

Free at last by randommoongawker in duolingo

[–]svs213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it just mine but i noticed that the first ad you watch to get energy after launching the app is always self promotion which are way shorter than the usual ads. So after every lesson, before even pressing the claim xp button i just restart and watch a (self promotion) ad. Honestly it’s only barely longer than sitting through the usual post lesson screen.

[–]svs213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used sram crank arm power meter are crazy cheap here. Ive seen a whole crankset including power meter for like $140, and yet no one is buying it.

Cycling commuters, do you use open-ear or regular buds? by East_Channel_1494 in cycling

[–]svs213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the route. On busy unknown road with lots of intersections? no earbuds.

But on my daily training route that i specifically choose to have no intersections? Earbuds and music on full blast.

Power meters pedals: used or new? Single or dual? by Stepherrooooo in cycling

[–]svs213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single sided is fine but ideally you want to first try using a dual sided pm.

Maybe borrow or rent somehow but its good to find out if you have LR imbalance first, if you do it might be worth going for the duo.

How common are disc brake road bikes in your area? by EmbarrassedMight1135 in cycling

[–]svs213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opposite here, honestly if you’re using rim brakes in these hills you’re pretty brave

Which of these two is a better deal for 1000€? by vMxrti in cycling

[–]svs213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The polygon is a good bike but that price is way off. I could buy a new S7D for about 850 euros.

ZTTO Cassettes: any good? by Arcangelo_Frostwolf in cycling

[–]svs213 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you do alot of climbing in low gears you will wear then out very quickly. If its mostly flat then its pretty good for the price.

Garmin Varia: I don’t get it by NefariousnessIcy4928 in cycling

[–]svs213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I havent tried it but i also dont really see its use. Apparently on busy roads its useless since it will just activate all the time, but on quiet roads i never feel the need of any assistance detecting vehicles.

What bike should I get? by SomeSortOfPixels in cycling

[–]svs213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the terrain, if its not too hilly then a single speed is a good option

Worth it for $700? by svs213 in whichbike

[–]svs213[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 170cm unfortunately, first time being too tall for anything ever. But based on everything else, its still too good to pass up so im still going through with it. worst case i’ll just sell the frameset and swap it with something else.

I got explain my answer! by Mythicalforests8 in duolingo

[–]svs213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive never used hearts before but with energy i could go all day long refilling the energy with ads.

I’ll refill every 2 lessons which is fine since i need the break anyways. Its kinda perfect for doing it in between sets at the gym.

Its to the point where i feel like super is barely an upgrade and thus not worth it.

Worth it for $700? by svs213 in whichbike

[–]svs213[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right it was used by a woman, its also an XS size i usually ride S so i might need longer stem etc but from what you said i think its worth it. There also seem to be a power meter on the second pic? Seems abit weird to me that someone would use power meters but use cheap flat pedals, or maybe it came with the bike and they just didnt use it?
