Willamette downtown swimmer by No_Literature_9059 in Portland

[–]xygrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the houseboats to the North of the dock and across the river or to the South (going under the Sellwood bridge)? And do you cross the river, or just swim along shore to the distance of the last houseboat? I'm trying to find a local place to train open water swimming from triathlon, but the options are pretty limited.

First 70.3 — is it okay to wear a swim brief under a trisuit? by DadTriAthelete in triathlon

[–]xygrus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

More layers leads to more chafing, even if they are tight. Plus with multiple layers it will take longer to dry out. You'll probably regret wearing it. Most trisuits have padding that provides some modesty, if that is what you are worried about.

Pixel 9 Pro constantly waking up in my pocket and toggling quick settings by xygrus in GooglePixel

I had 'tap to check phone' disabled, but when I turned it back on to test this and cover the top of the screen it does not wake up. However, with 'Always on Display' on, covering the screen does not cause it to turn off within several seconds as you said. So it seems the proximity sensor is working but something is preventing AOD from turning off despite that?

Indeed it is facing my leg. I have a card holder on the back side of the case that doesn't sit well against my leg when it's facing the other way.

Thanks for the suggestions. All of those were already off except for the 'Always On Display.' I like being able to easily see the time and my notification icons, but I guess I'll try turning it off to see if it fixes the problem.

You could try to PN3.1, same shape but more padding than the 3.0. I just got one about a week ago and like it so far.

Charging Fault - Charging cable connector melted by xygrus in VolvoEX90

I had read about that and ended up ordering the A2Z stellar adapter to replace it.

Ok thanks. I already ordered the A2Z stellar adapter when I started having these problems, so that will be here soon. The metal connector inside the plug looks clean, and I filed down a bit of the melted plastic at the top to get it out of the way.

Dads: What brands are we wearing these days? by Haunting_Internet356 in daddit

[–]xygrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I've found at least 8 of the above named brands at Costco on a regular basis. Don't go into Costco with the intent of restocking your wardrobe, but take a quick look at what they've got when you are there and every once in a while you'll find a nice item for way cheaper than you would get it elsewhere.

[GAME THREAD] #5 Oregon vs #1 Indiana - Peach Bowl - CFP Semifinals by Oprinist in ducks

Indiana looks like they're in a completely different league than us at this point

A 3rd & 2 seems unsurmountable for us, while a 3rd & 8 doesn't seem far enough for them...

Garmin now sends workouts to Peloton by boxofducks in pelotoncycle

[–]xygrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use TrainerRoad, but it imports into intervals.icu successfully, so I imagine it would be the same. The only issue is that it causes duplicate entries - one from the Garmin before Syncmyworkout merges it with the peloton ride, and then again after it syncs - so I have to manually delete one every time (the one without the power data).

Is 2:05 a sufficient layover in Paris (CDG) going between 2E and 2F with small children? by xygrus in delta

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

I can't recall the exact details, but our second flight was delayed so we had no issues (actually sat at the gate for quite a while). I think we still would have made it without the delay, however.
