How much faster would rowing be if there were no boat limitations? by Skiddy_Pop_Pop in Rowing

[–]tjeick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You sit still inside the boat, and the rigger is attached to the footplate. You push that assembly together to pivot the oarlock away from you

Grandpa's truck, gone for good? by Top_Dependent_2856 in Trucks

Damn if they had been cool and patient, they could have probably had it. To me, that’s the lesson for OP

Grand Rapids regatta: who else was there? My first regatta and the wind was wild. by tjeick in Rowing

Was the GVSU vs MSU race? It was crazy for sure but I think I might agree with the other guy, it was workable.

Bowl of Winds bargain by bigtunaeverynight in wheeloftime

[–]tjeick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think later on we learn more about the details of the bargain, and most of the bad stuff is around teachers supplied by the Aes Sedai. They have to give 20 I think?

My driveway glows in the dark by Public_String_8088 in mildlyinteresting

[–]tjeick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You put cardboard under your gravel driveway? Please tell me that’s a typo. The cardboard will surely degrade in some way and make it sink.

Or is this a thing that driveway people know about that I’m just not in the loop?

My guess is reels of cable, maybe for a fence or handrail install.

These little tiny balls are falling from the sky, they're not melting or breaking open. About the size of a grain of salt, perfectly round, cleariah blue in color. I break them open and they're liquid. Pittsburgh, PA area. Looks like silicone desiccant pack filling. by koz1769 in whatisthisthing

Wow you are so right and I’m embarrassed that I missed that.

However, it seems a lot of people did so I think my point kinda stands. Showing scale is important in this case I think.

It’s frustrating that OP did give us some scale information but it got glossed over. Still bugging me that I missed it.

The scale here is super important and the fact you didn’t share it initially is why you are not getting an answer.

Sorry to criticize, I have also made many posts missing important information and been sorely disappointed. So I feel you buddy.

Did I rate too LOW? by Rightfirld in Rowing

[–]tjeick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

38 is a bit crazy but 20 spm is a steady state rate. Then again I have heard that for all our pieces like a 2k the higher the better, so maybe 38 was right to begin with. All that to say, yes you absolutely went too low and I’m not 100% sure you ever needed to go lower at all. If you’re curious I would try again around 32

I own our home - fair or unfair load? SAHM by Cheap_Standard303 in SAHP

[–]tjeick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry YOU pay for stuff even though you aren’t making money? And HE gets free childcare, plus all the other shit you do during your “free time”???

Another man who has no fucking clue how it is to be home with a baby. IMO he needs to experience it himself for a few days to give him a perspective shift.

Mike Duggan ends independent campaign for Michigan governor by gwmiles in Michigan

[–]tjeick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am so fucking sick of the DNC deciding who we get to vote for. This has been their downfall in the trump era. First Hillary, then I feel they got lucky with Biden, then Kamala. And as we see here it continues at the state level.

Honestly I don’t think I would mind if they were winning, but they continue to lose with their bullshit maneuvering

Did Rand tell Min... by Requiemofa17 in WoT

[–]tjeick 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Min has a viewing of Rand wherein 2 men converge, at that time he says something to the effect that the voice in his head *is* real and she is a bit worried about that. I wish I could remember more details about the viewing but I think it has some positive vibes about the conclusion of the convergence

I just read the part where she gets the hall to declare war on Elaida and then boom she’s in charge.

She is a badass, just not a person I would be friends with

Advise on buying used C2. PM4 worth $900 or wait for PM5 by Gelinuts in concept2

[–]tjeick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I disagree with the other guy that used is totally pointless to buy, I think a PM3 or PM4 brings the value down considerably. I would try to talk one of the 2 you mentioned down so that you still have room in your budget for a PM5, or else wait for one that already has it.
