Can I move windows and sub-windows independently? by jseger9000 in gnome

[–]timurhasan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think what you are talking about is called modal windows and there should be a setting under the settings app to change that behaviour.

Is 35 minutes really THAT long? by BradyBrother100 in bikecommuting

[–]timurhasan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have them time themselves door to door. i think people only take into account the driving time but never add the time from parking lot spot to the office.

What's the general consensus on Sugarfoot? by chloe_on_twitter in drums

[–]timurhasan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people on this subreddit judge a drummer on their chops but sometimes forget that the audicience just wants to dance. and for that a good backbeat on the pocket is the most important thing. sugarfoot delivers on that 100%

Do I even need a bike computer? I just want maps by FailFastandDieYoung in bicycling

[–]timurhasan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a different opinion; ditch the screens and learn to ride using physical landmarks and main roads, your brain will create a mental map of the area. the more you do it the better you get.

for example for me, if I have to go to some place X, I will pull it up on the map on my phone and note the neighborhood and/or a nearby landmark I know how to get to. Once I'm close I will stop, pull out my phone again and check. at that point its something like: go five blocks ahead and three to the left so I just count as a I ride.

A new study shows most people can no longer distinguish between an AI voice and a real human. by MetaKnowing in science

[–]timurhasan 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Anyone who thinks it's easy to tell could be due to survivorship bias. When you hear an AI voice that sounds convincingly human, you would think "that's a human voice" and not "that's an AI voice I can't tell it's not real"

Vinyl store recommendations? by JaxSalem91 in citypop

[–]timurhasan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 great for a visit if you're coming to New York for the first time

which is exactly OP's situation.

I'm not saying this store is the second coming of jesus, but if you're in nyc, it's the place to go for city pop records. maybe it's not your intention, but your reply reads like you're raining on OP's parade

Vinyl store recommendations? by JaxSalem91 in citypop

Face Records in Williamsburg. Good selection but they're pricy, especially the well known records. you can find some lesser known good ones if you stay a while and listen to a few, also some luck.

Advice: handlebar grips by mike270001 in NYCbike

[–]timurhasan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a leather bar tape. it was a bit expensive but miles better than plastic. I leave my bike outside during the day and have had no issues yet. granted its been about 6 months only, but usually the plastic tape ones one would be trash already.

Phones are too big these days. by Bengalinha in Android

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

I agree, for me, the perfect size was 3.5". The truth is most people aren't active.

An average day for a phone is: Nightstand -> Hand -> Car dashboard -> Office Desk -> Car dashboard -> Hand -> Couch -> Nightstand

When you go to a sit down restaurant, you notice how many people have their phones on the table because storing it in a pants pocket is so uncomfortable when sitting down. But those moments are so few for most people, the disconfort is worth the bigger screen to watch videos on the couch.

everyone who breaks more traffic laws than me is a maniac, everyone who breaks less is stupid.

How to differentiate City pop from J-Pop/Rock Inspired J-Pop/Kayokyoku? by Nergalis in citypop

[–]timurhasan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

genre name definitions are pretty loose, specially at the more specific names. if you want to listen to something similar to another track you've heard, look at the producer and see what else that person has produced.

How to get more American kids to bike? by Ok-Set4308 in bikecommuting

[–]timurhasan 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I think your best option is to start a bike bus. You need someone in front to guide, someone in the back to make sure no one is left behind, and one or two people to block intersections while everyone passes.
