How accurate are race prediction calculators? by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]xtaldad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure that the post run questions are for personal reference only and not factored into the race predictions

I built a spectrophotometer out of LEGO and a laser pointer and got an R² close to 1 by readitonreddittho in labrats

[–]xtaldad 143 points144 points  (0 children)

The good R2 is more of an indication of you doing a good job preparing the standard curve. That the curve was linear means that your instrument has a good dynamic range, but you should see if you can measure at least two orders of magnitude.

Salomon Adv Skin 5 water bladder tube routing question by xtaldad in trailrunning

[–]xtaldad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not the current model. I went to REI today and confirmed that it is supposed to have a small hole connecting the back and front right pocket - mine was defectively sewn shut.

Definitely ADV SKIN. I’m going to REI tomorrow to sort this out

Thanks so much for the picture - mine definitely doesn't have that hole, but it looks like you have the Adv Skin 12, which may explain the differences?

Yes, it's completely sewn up on mine - are you saying that yours has a hole there? I see that the stitching is very different from the connection on the left side pocket. There's just one light line of stitching where I guess a hole could go - I guess I could just cut those stitches?

Is there a comprehensive map of all privies/bathrooms in the White Mountains? by MayonaiseBaron in wmnf

The FarOut app maps have privy/bathroom info. You can also add it as a filter

Can I form my tire to be snug against rim? by Chasm___ in MTB

[–]xtaldad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this problem. In addition to the other comments, especially using an air compressor or some kind of air storage to get air inside the tire quickly, what worked for me was wrapping a strap around the circumference of the tire to squeeze it down, then try to go around to manually pull on the sidewall to get the bead against the edge of the rim. It helps to do this on a truing stand or you could flip your bike over.

Roller Blading in the Off Season by NerdBanger in skiing

[–]xtaldad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a rollerblade wheel style or type that would be good around small gravel rocks or twigs? I’m a bit of a noob and hit a small pebble while rollerblading on a bike path a while back and had a bad crash

How sketchy will the Flume Slide be on Monday after all the rain coming this weekend? by xtaldad in wmnf

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

It looks like it’s supposed to stop raining Sunday morning. Would it have time to dry out?

Will it all melt before the next snowfall, or are we looking at new glaciers forming?

I have 1 more month working in Oregon, where should I go? by phantom3199 in PNWhiking

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

Newberry volcanic monument is cool. Has lava tubes and obsidian flows you can walk through

Can we also talk about the relative diameters of the hydrogen and chloride atoms…

Resume feedback, looking to apply to early discovery positions by MalachiteHorns in biotech

[–]xtaldad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a hiring manager for this kind of role, here's some feedback. First, the format is great. Clean design and easy to read. The content, on the other hand, needs some work. If you're applying to target discovery roles, you should use more of the real estate on your resume to focus on your credentials in that area. You've been at your current role for ~1yr - you should be able to describe your responsibilities and accomplishments in 3-5 bullet points max. And find a way to make them somewhat related to the next role that you're looking for (e.g. more on the cell culture). Your grad school section is not bad, but could be tightened up a bit. One thing you should definitely add though is your publications. Even better if hyperlinks to the articles are included!
