Last Notes npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack We’re trying to get reclassified with the union. I’ve been talking to the union for 5 years about it and have an approach suggested by the union. We all met and everyone decided they wanted to do what the boss wants, not what the union wants. I’m just going to go behind their backs because this is too important to me npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack I’ve never worked with a dumber bunch of smart people npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack But based on a later comment, it looks like it wasn't worth keeping around npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Well it's too late for me to weigh in on this, but if you took the money from a new car payment and put it into your old vehicle, you'd quickly run out of repairs to do after a couple/few years. For the cost of a new car, you could have really pimped out your old car beyond just maintaining it. npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack IIRC Ice Cubes doesn't remember your home timeline position but Mona does. Other than that it's apples vs apples npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack No that makes sense These numbers will mean nothing to you, but they represent the scale of effort and are vast generalizations The average "non-cyclist" is probably getting uncomfortable putting out over 100 watts Most hills will take 150-180 watts to make it up comfortably Most people I ride with would call talking pace <220W. We'll often be riding at like 150-180W, get to a hill, and people fly up it at 350-400W when they could have continued at the same effort and kept talking npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack If you are riding a certain effort on the flat, you can almost always ride that effort up a hill, unless you're going really easy. People tend to try to maintain their speed on short hills and that usually takes something around triple the effort (2/2) npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Half wheeling is when you ride slightly in front of the person you are riding beside. It sends the message that they aren't riding fast enough for you. Some people are so habitual about it that if you try to pull even to them, you end up going flat out in short order… (1/2) npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Do you know how to ride your #bike w/ other people. Probably not. I've been living in a town where almost no one knows how to ride w/ other people. There are 2 people I’ve found, but our riding schedules don't mesh Today I was included in a women's group chat because I do know how to ride with other people & I'm pretty tickled about it Moral of the story, learn how to ride with people. Don't half wheel, don't surge up hills, stick close, ride predictably, safely #BikeTooter #Cycling #bikes npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Mildly disappointed they didn't align the photos but it's a great idea. I did something like this out in middle of nowhere where I was supposed to be working a couple times a week for a year but the job got cut short. To the point where I had to leave my phone mount out there. npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Went for a walk on the #beach last night #oregon #coast #fog https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/114/841/062/192/570/119/original/1acd15d31868b230.jpeg https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/114/841/062/321/057/417/original/34f1e93bf60d2876.jpeg https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/114/841/062/776/531/149/original/3c61b2212b95b502.jpeg https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/114/841/062/441/021/123/original/bd5a46a00883c6f8.jpeg npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack So what is in the changelog? npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack I am dumb, figured it out lol npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Am I dumb? I can't see or find the GPX I imported npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack I guess it would help to explain. Not Google because Google. Not all trails because it's junk. GaiaGPS revoked my lifetime membership. I don't wanna put Strava on my wife's phone. RideWithGPS doesn't do walking speed, but it is my preferred routing software. npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Looking for an #iOS app that I can share custom routed #hiking or #walking #routes with my wife. Not #Google, #AllTrails, #GaiaGPS, #Strava, or #RideWithGPS for various reasons npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Amazing what you can do on your phone when you're sitting around waiting on nothing #HD https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/114/010/590/485/613/432/original/a735e87e9ee9dfb1.jpeg npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack The aspect ratio was bugging me https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/114/010/586/677/452/498/original/f306287da8e1b8d9.jpeg npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Sorry, not sorry https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/114/008/928/528/623/247/original/6054ba01eee07a8f.jpeg npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack I only have this one good photo of an #owl #SuperbOwl https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/113/976/957/870/740/462/original/bd3093143b7f984f.png npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Here's your alt txt. Read by my phone Not proofread (Written by Rachel Halliburton) (1/9) npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Mine will be "You keep giving me the same answer, give me the solution" 25 times npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack It's dumb but you really could type your message in Messages, Notes, etc, screenshot it, crop it, and AirDrop it if you really wanted to npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack I don't. I'm probably too old for DS npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Yes or some other protocol. Really I've been wondering why phones don't have line of sight coms for decades npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Make images and AirDrop them 🙄 npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Why isn't anyone talking about wired headphones? They worked fine before and the consequences of bending/loosening that jack are a similar repair cost to doing that with a dongle. I have a ton of Lightning wired headphones here taking up space in a junk drawer. I have a couple of unused USB-C wired headphones in the same drawer "just in case" too npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Upping my subscription to the #microplastic distribution network. Also Les Schwab WiFi blocks #Mastodon and other social media And I had to argue with them about their stupid rotation policy to get my warranty. The treads were all at 4/32 except the center because guess who overinflates them. It's them, not me. Hopefully, I can get the full mileage out of these tires and buy the next set at Costco https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/113/637/306/124/066/005/original/9c1cd5e641985279.jpeg npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack From what I understand it's just a method for allowing private payments and nothing shady (other than what you may be privately paying for). It's not their own crypto but an integration with MobileCoin I want nothing to do with crypto myself but this doesn't seem to be anything but a payment method to me. What's your opposition to this implementation or did you see something I missed? npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack mylastpassword-Q42024 npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack When lol? npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Surveying is a weird combination of exact measurements, complex geomatics, and digging around looking for buried rusty iron rods placed by some drunk guy 140 years ago. npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Weird, it looks totally usable now, I wonder what my problem was before npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Although to be fair to me, I have found this API particularly difficult to drill down to data I want out of it, so I tend to ignore its existence npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack I guess I didn’t look hard enough 🤷 npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack @npub19xy…lkfq Are you aware of any way to get to this data via api? It’s the NWS "Detailed Forecast" https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/113/455/256/116/534/630/original/40edcd23ea413668.png npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack What format is it in? npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack Too soon? https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/113/156/716/377/593/351/original/1e99a8cd1c769173.jpeg npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack No. Just f that guy npub1s06f4x77n00d3j0xxlwtxwjvxdxgudugd52c9dge98tmzdqasx9s8m9qtk crowdotblack I have this image sitting around since May 04, 2017.
