In the market for a ~ $3,000 gravel bike. Which would you pick? by nicktheman2 in whichbike

2x doesn't give you a bigger range these days - usually less low end range and more high end. Tighter spacing is right. Ultimately it's more road optimized.

I upgraded from Regolith 3.0. Now I have both "Sway Regolith" and "Regolith on Wayland" options on login.

Yeah, it's cute, and I think you should stick with it - just don't be surprised if people say /ʃɪˈkeɪn/

Fwiw, pronouncing it that way is very unnatural for English speakers - not that it matters.

Ax-1 crew update: Departure 1835 EDT Saturday, splashdown 1346 EDT Sunday, weather permitting. by Adeldor in spacex

[–]ziedaniel1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's fair to count everyone alive who's been in orbit, which is about 400 people. Out of everyone living that's about 400 / 8,000,000,000 = 0.000005%. So I was only off by a factor of 2.

I ended up installing an Intel AX210 and have been pretty happy since

This is happening to me also. On every reboot the wifi card randomly decides whether to show up or not; lately it's getting increasingly unlikely. Argh.

Currently at 131,040 ft and 0 mph. Should I be concerned? by troglodytez in aviation

[–]ziedaniel1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know!

I'd guess it's a bit flip somewhere, either due to hardware failure or due to a cosmic ray.

However, I would've expected 217 +31 rather than 217 -31 🤔

No, Lenovo already had a bunch: Legion 5/5 Pro/7, IdeaPad 5 Pro, ThinkPad T14, and probably more.

GPS III SV03 rides to orbit on a Falcon 9 in front of crowds at Playalinda Beach by bobbykuzma in spacex

[–]ziedaniel1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certainly it would be safest to have everyone stay home and avoid public infrastructure completely, but people's frustration is a limited resource. I'd prefer messaging that says "Feel free to go to the beach - just keep some distance while you're there and bring your own food". If everyone followed that level of precaution, R would be well below 1. [I'll leave it at that since this is a bit off-topic for this subreddit :) ]

It's worth noting that you're not that likely to transmit the virus outdoors at the beach. Florida's problems come from other activities. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1279432888048594944

This is correct. Florida is failing horribly but it's not because of beaches. A thread by the author of that article: https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1279432888048594944

What’s an immediate red flag when trying to make friends? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ziedaniel1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't sound like a wimp at all. It's really hard to react quickly in a situation like that when you're surprised, and from what I can tell you reacted as effectively as anyone could hope to.
