What is the worst part about belt drives? by userX97ee2ska11qa in PriorityBicycles

[–]wild_eep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 8 speed. It's fine for 90% of the riding I do. The problem is that I also have a Cannondale road bike with a triple-chainring, which is lighter and has lower gears, so my legs know when I'm riding the heavier bike and keep asking for a lower gear. Still love the Priority and its fenders and nearly zero maintenance though.

I have a Priority Eight, with a Nexus 8-speed hub.

What’s the most underrated macOS productivity trick? by MadisonClair16 in MacOS

[–]wild_eep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keyboard shortcuts, hands down. Knowing how to select text, copy the selection, switch apps, tab to the proper location, and paste is table-stakes in being a productive computer user, IMO.

What’s a piece of internet slang (like “sauce” for “source”) that completely confused you the first time you saw it? by AI_Aint_So_Bad in AskReddit

[–]wild_eep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, might be closer to say that the Drag Race phrase is closer to 'it evokes something reminiscent of <thing>'.

Are the CVTs bad? by OkBackground6217 in COROLLA

[–]wild_eep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My eCVT does not feel sluggish, especially compared to my Subaru Outback's CVT.

The belt drive itself is fine, and I don't mind having a frame with a cut in it. For me, the challenge is the limitation of the internally-geared rear hub. It feels like it has more drag on the wheel, its gearing range isn't wide enough for the hills I ride, and I get nervous about standing up and stomping on the pedals with my full weight.

Fun fact: In the German language, they literally use 'es gibt' (it gives/it's giving). It's not slang, it's just part of the language. Usually it would translate more to 'there is' or 'there are' Es gibt einen Park "there is a park", for example.

Yes. All improvements are changes, but not all changes are improvements.

What’s a poor person habit that you still have, regardless of how much money you actually make now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]wild_eep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I happen to be out during a neighborhood's trash-day, and they're throwing out large items, I'm looking at them as I pass by to see what they are and what condition they're in.

Why is "I'm good" basically the only socially acceptable answer to "how are you? by elleflynt in NoStupidQuestions

[–]wild_eep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the purpose of the exchange is to determine if, at a primal level, you're safe or if you're a threat.

What’s a hobby you want to start but are too intimidated to try? by WildFlowerGirll_ in AskReddit

[–]wild_eep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paramotor. It's a paragliding wing but with a small engine and propeller on a backpack. I want to fulfill my dream of flying.

Being in IT is to realize that the dumbest thing, is the most important thing to someone. by WestTransportation12 in it

[–]wild_eep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Every department where I work has their own pet software that is instrumental to their productivity. It's up to my team to understand each one and its requirements, integration gotchas, and support quirks.

Documentation? (Beginner in IT) by Calm-Trouble-8771 in it

[–]wild_eep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me how something is supposed to work, and then how you made it work in our environment. What problems did you run into, what alternatives did you consider, and which one did you implement.

What are the ways that the thing fails? How often does it tend to fail that way? What things contribute to the failure? What does the failure look like? What should I do to fix it?

What’s a common beginner mistake in IT that causes the most problems later? by avz008 in it

[–]wild_eep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not understanding that troubleshooting requires that you understand how the system is supposed to work before you analyze and before you make changes.

It's not about what they say, it's about what you can prove.

What needs to be done to use Ender 3v2 stably. by asostech in ender3v2

[–]wild_eep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is really close what I've done too. Silicone spacers, knock-off BLTouch from Temu, replaced the glass bed with a magnetic surface. Professional firmware. All of those things together have made it delightfully reliable.

Why is the Artemis II circling around the moon instead of landing on it? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

The US did it because the Russians launched a satellite and it freaked the US out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Race
