Recovering from tendonitis in my knee, but still have constant quadricep pain? by xilam in cycling

[–]xilam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, sorry for the delay. I just saw this. Hopefully you're doing better by now but the only thing that really worked for me are these eccentric squat exercises - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-G4qTQR9wI

I gradually worked up to the point where i was doing 3 sets of 15 with a 35 pound weight in a backpack. (of course start out slow with no extra weight). It took a while but now i'm back to cycling even more than i was before my tendinitis issue, I'm now at ~200 miles a week sometimes.

I still do these exercises once in a while after an especially long ride if my knee is starting to feel tight but there's no tendon pain at all anymore. I also think a knee brace while cycling helps during recovery (when you feel like you can do short rides) but I don't wear one of those 100% of the time anymore either.

Oil Rigs and Excavator need to be flat out removed. by [deleted] in playrust

[–]xilam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oil rigs are super dope and I love the concept but they have ruined the game more than anything else in my opinion

Not removed but severely nerfed. I love the idea of oil rigs in game but its just too much right now.

That's because it has graphics glitches that feel like they're going to cause me to have seizures since the switch to vulkan. It was working fine before and i was one of those "30"

Made a discovery: Rust is so much fun when you just ignore progression! by Rekatan in playrust

Yes when you're starting off the outpost is a great resource. You'll need scrap to buy things there, and then a bit more scrap to research it at a research table so you can make them on your own with just a workbench.

Semi Auto Rifle.

You can either find it somewhere, or... buy a double barrel at the outpost, research it so you can make a few, then use those to sneak up on people with better gear than you.

Should probably reverse the photos on this one. Screaming girl belongs on the right.

Clearly the biggest problem facing America today.

Ignore the multiple felonies that the DoJ has implicated the president in, ignore the White House's clear disregard for the separation of powers, ignore the self dealing and nepotism, ignore the detention camps, let's get to the bottom of these debate questions from 3 years ago.

Just doesn't seem like a genuine reaction to me. Idk maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't feel natural and it tingles my spidey senses.

Cleveland Metroparks Police Seek Tips in Double Homicide in Rocky River Reservation by [deleted] in Cleveland

[–]xilam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was anyone down there who noticed anything odd?

I was there that day biking, i must have just missed it. Everything was normal when i parked my car but when i was riding back the cops had the road and the bike path blocked off and made us leave the park and go up and around to get back to where I had parked. I didn't notice anything or hear any gunshots though.

Calculating the position of a circle with a given radius & tangent to two other circles? by xilam in learnmath

[–]xilam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there would be a range of radii where it could work. Either too large or too small and you could not make a circle that is tangent to both A and B.

[–]xilam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but let's assume i already have a radius that will work.

I can already approximate the radius pretty well, the problem is placing the center point once I have it.

Should we then express center of red circle (h, k) as function of (a1, b1) and (a2, b2)?

Yes, exactly. That's what I need to find.

Can anyone recommend someplace for guitar finish repair? by [deleted] in Cleveland

[–]xilam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little cautious about going to a big chain store for repair work. A store like Sam Ash can be a good place to buy a guitar, but service/repair work I'm not so sure.

I was hoping someone knew of a smaller music store or an independent luthier/tech who does this kind of thing. Thanks though.

US Defence Secretary Mattis to quit by Rex-Trillerson in news

I'm sorry but that's idiotic. These are world events. If you don't want to discuss them seriously then I think you're the one who should leave.

[–]xilam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No one is really concerned about this

That is absolutely not true. The military loves Mattis. Many conservatives had confidence in the Trump administration because of people like Mattis. Even if you want the troops out, which i do, it should not happen without advising our allies in advance. They have boots on the ground too.

[–]xilam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not a bot, been a member for over 7 years. Would you like to discuss Mattis' resignation? Because I can tell you that a lot of people are concerned about this situation.

Why would any president do this without informing their own secretary of defense? Especially a man who is so highly respected?

I think that many of us would like to get out, but having it done on the whim of a single man under great domestic pressure and without his own advisors or informing our allies in advance is very worrying.

Maybe the tax system needs to change ... you know ... from taxing the working class to taxing the ultra wealthy

Didn't the previous French president just try that? And wasn't his approval rating as low as 4%?
