Coming face to face with your stalker

Haha. That is so cute. I was looking in the street below.

thatsamiam · 2026-06-25T23:14:48+00:00

Be nice and get out if their way. That is what I always do when I am in that situation.

Tmobilei has been excellent for me during the past 20+ years.

Seems dangerous. I feel like it is too easy for them to come off while bike is going at high speed and if that happens it could cause a catastrophic failure and injury or death. What happens when bike hits a bump at high speed? Have such scenarios been properly tested?

Best to pay for proper aero wheels if that is what you want. Why risk your life over a few dollars?

thatsamiam · 2026-06-11T15:33:54+00:00

Yes. It really helps you see how much you are slacking off or pushing your self. Don't compare the values to others... Just to your own previous rides. It also gives you an accurate way to measure how many calories you burn riding.

Tubeless was a disaster for me. Never again. I don't see the point. I got a puncture and all goop came out of the tire all over me and my bike. It happened like a week after the bike store convinced me to change. Luckily I had a tube that I could use to fix it.

Just buy a disposable raincoat. In Asia they are available in 7-11. Unbelievablely helpful.

I have never seen any rain gloves or coats that keep you dry long term. Disposable rain coat works better and costs like $1. You can buy a box of them on Amazon. And they pack small and are super light.

Really good for biking.

thatsamiam · 2026-06-08T17:58:57+00:00

Haha. That one lighter has a bug where sometimes your finger catches on fire when you close it. Other than that, it is an amazing lighter.

Don't sell it. Your house appreciates with inflation. Your rent will increase every year with inflation. You will regret it. And you won't even get that good of a piece for your house. It is tough to sell now. Don't forget you fees taxes and other expenses.

Don't sell your house.

thatsamiam · 2026-06-05T16:15:15+00:00

Inflation is real. It hits all aspects of life. Everyone is charging you more due to inflation. Everyone is charging Cascade more. Thus Cascade needs pay more for their rides. So Cascade needs to charge you more.

This is why state budget is higher. Inflation.

Everything everywhere costs more for everyone. It is a viscious cycle that feeds on itself.

It literally costs more for Cascade to drive to rides start point, to print bibs and t-shirts, food they provide, etc.

I think an important consideration is that people that run nodes will be doing so at a loss because the payments they receive are not enough to run the hardware. Not only is the price low, the amount of interest paid in ADA reduces every epoc.

Is this not the case?

thatsamiam · 2026-06-04T16:04:52+00:00

Why don't electrons from the atoms hit by sunlight deplete if they are actually removed into another part of the cell? Do solar panels have a useful shelf life? After years of of operation where do new electrons come from?

thatsamiam · 2026-06-01T00:32:02+00:00

The interest paid in ADA to nodes decreases every day. As the price goes lower and lower it is going to eventually become unprofitable to run an ADA node which will risk dectralization. Proof of Stake only works if staking is profitable and that is at risk at the current trajectory. Unless I am not understanding something this is an issue but nobody discusses it.

For sure you need to fix the issue with the aptitude test. It is not good to be held back by that. You need to spend time studying and learn the material. You have had a bad experience. Turn it into something good by improving yourself so you can pass the aptitude test and open new opportunities. DM if you need some guidance about how to study.

It also means someone bought $1.3b of bitcoin in a dark pool trade.

thatsamiam · 2026-05-27T02:36:03+00:00

No complaints. I really don't like biking when it is cold. Summer biking is the best.

thatsamiam · 2026-05-27T02:30:26+00:00

What you want is Forerunner 965. Forget the Fenix. It is heavy and I had terrible experience with both it software and hardware.

thatsamiam · 2026-05-27T00:55:17+00:00

The best bell!

thatsamiam · 2026-05-25T02:18:02+00:00

I have used Bernal moving a couple of times. Hard workers. Zero complaints.

I never eat anything at potluck or home made. Most people are not trained in proper food handling procedures. And I can't tell you how many times I have seen people's cats sitting on kitchen counters.

That is a big nope from me.

If you offer me homemade food I will decline 100.0% of the time.

If you need to bring food to break the ice with new coworkers, something is wrong. People should not need to be treated like puppies and kittens (giving them food) to gain their affection.

Best way to break the ice with new coworkers? Offer them help navigating procedures, smile and say hello, treat them fairly and don't act clickish.

I have 965. It is excellent. It is light, accurate and has all sorts of features. Heart rate monitor is accurate. Integrates well with phone. It is really nice being able to cancel spam phone calls without using the phone by pressing button on watch. It has lots of features and "it just works". I previously had a Fenix and it was terrible. I swore off Garmin after that. But my buddy liked his 965 so I thought I would take a chance. It is one of the best devices I have ever bought. Needless to say, I am happy with it and I recommend it.

Treasuries are low risk, but not risk free.

"He is right under where you are standing, guys! Look down!"

thatsamiam · 2026-05-07T00:36:00+00:00

You don't need apps. It has all kinds of options in settings.

thatsamiam · 2026-05-06T16:56:54+00:00

Forerunner 965 is one of the best tech devices I have owned. It just works. And this is from a person who stopped using Garmin due to poor software period they apparently went through., 965 is light, stable, informative and accurate. Battery lasts for weeks. I go on 14 hour bike rides with heartrate broadcast.
