  1. Are any of you other guys who are doing cycling doing it on a Peloton? I know I’m like 10 years late on that platform but we got the bike in November and I’m very much getting into it. I imagine at some point I’ll pull back a bit but my goal is way too low and I really enjoy getting on and chasing people/pr’s/kj’s/whatever down while I work up a sweat every night. I just discovered the power zone rides - I think I have it close to dialed in but I need to take the ftp test. I’ve ridden a lot with Emma, Cody, Jenn, Tunde, Hannah, and Jess but I think Wilpers may be my favorite coach.
  2. Everyone is preparing their anus in Raleigh because the current prediction is 20+” of snow over the weekend. I’m posting this here to jinx it and make sure my kids are still in daycare next week.
  3. Not sure - some googling indicates that maybe mm10 and mm10x are the same thing, but I’m not sure if that’s right. Sometimes it’s funny to actually put your Sweetwater guy through the paces when he calls to check up if the strings or picks or whatever it was worked out for you haha

  5. Wouldn’t incline pushups make it easier?
  6. 250 miles! I haven't done anything but pushups and bike yet. I feel like I could still hop on the train for squats and pullups and do it, I may do that. The pushups have gotten easy. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the cool predictive trendlines on the graphs like we had in 2023 - The obvious thing is that this is set up here (sorry for longcat)- in that whole trendline section. But, it doesn't seem to quite be working. I'm almost ready to convince myself that it will work when we're a bit further along in the year, but more likely I am just a shitty data scientist. It feels like AI should take care of this for me, but it looks like despite the fact that I pay for like 2TB of google storage I would need to fork over an additional subscription to get it to run gemini on sheets. actually that does look better than it did a few weeks back. maybe if I shortened the x axis it would look right, but whatever
  7. I know theaters are bound to be struggling so I’m not mad at them trying stuff but I’m also not trying to apologize for them. But some things from here that differ from my experience - it’s a web app, through your phone browser. I don’t know if it was difficult at all to get registered the first time I used it, but I don’t remember that and it has always been easy since. It does have access to the special menu stuff ( with pictures) as well as everything else.
  8. No Other Choice. Whoooole lotta stuff going on in that movie, I think it was very good. Had a bit of a hard time following a couple of the threads but it was very entertaining, a lot of beautiful sets, a lot of core philosophy/morality stuff to chew through. Another one where the movie was a bit different than I thought it would be from the trailer, but yeah as someone who has been through several layoffs and lives with the threat of AI and in the tenuous seat of... upper or upperish middle classdom, yeah.
  9. Wait she just played the wrong note? That’s hilarious, that little note change makes your head tilt just right for the rest of the song.
  10. Loved this. I may like it more than One Battle After Another, which is probably my other favorite movie of the year (and of course probably leading the best picture conversation). It had a lot of the pace and anxiety of the other Safdie movies but to me it wasn't as nerve wracking - even in some of the scenes where things got pretty dicey, I think having this anchored in ping pong somehow keeps it from Good Time or Uncut Gems (or If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, for that matter) anxiety. I already want to watch it again. Chalamet was great, Odessa was great, Tyler the Creator was great, Kevin O'Leary was actually great. Such great casting. I don't know exactly what I was expecting from this movie, but this wasn't it. I made the comparison in the other thread (movie you just watched) between this and Inside Llewyn Davis, where it's almost a similar format and topic just with Marty being young, energetic, and optimistic where Llewyn is tired, bitter, jaded, and I kinda like that comparison. It also feels Lebowskiesque to me, although of course less overtly comedic. But it is calling me back to rewatch it in that same way, to try and catch the details from each little episode, find the little nuggets in the dialog, watch the action unfold. Mild spoilers/plot discussion - One of the things I can't decide how I feel about is Marty's direction at the end. He is a piece of shit throughout the whole movie - almost none of the "bad guys" in the film have done anything wrong really. Even Abel Ferrara was being wronged by Marty at every step. And Marty the character absolutely believes the horrible line he gives Odessa about how his life is burdened with purpose where hers is not - that sums him up and explains how he can so easily use everyone around him. And the movie ends with him promising to never leave and meeting his child (and of course it begins with the conception of his child). When I was watching the movie, my thought was... of course he'll continue to be a piece of shit, he'll abandon her and the kid to pursue his ambitions. He'll send little Marty Jr ping pong paddles for Christmas. But here he is having this moment. But, sitting with it for a bit longer, I'm less sure that's exactly where his character goes. I mean honestly I'm sitting here in judgment of this character, but I've gone through my own arc that has had a lot of similarity and where I did change, I did grow, I did evolve. Sobriety was my main catalyst for that change, but fatherhood accelerated it and certainly can have that effect. We've seen that Marty is competent and has potential outside of a sport that will never be as big as he dreams it is going to be. Even as he's being a piece of shit, I think he cares on some level about other people - just, he cares about them less than his ambition. He seems like he has a real friendship with Tyler the Creator. He beats Odessa's husband. He stands up for his dumb friend with the orange balls. The moment when he's yelling at him and Odessa for them both to stop talking to each other like that - what a great moment, and of course he's trying to control the situation to his end but I think he's also feeling protective of them both. Maybe it doesn't ultimately matter which way Marty goes, we're just seeing this snapshot of this guy with this dream leading up to this pivotal moment. Anyways, curious where the end left other people.

    I think I still have a few Ray Hennig’s Heart of Texas cables in different cases or probably in the back of my blues jr.
  12. People were protesting, daughter asked about the signs, I tried to explain in a fairly even way not trying to really lie about things but not trying to make her a preschool radical. Later she was drawing on her pad, I asked what it was. It’s a sign. The x is so that the police makes a better choice.

    I’ve shared my music story I think probably more than several times, but tl;dr is I played in a band for a long time, we had some moderate success, did some cool stuff. I think the coolest was spending a month on the Warped Tour back in 2013. And a couple of really great tours. I reconnected with the guys this year, we played a reunion show, we’re planning another and are talking about writing some new stuff. Collaborating remotely will be a change, so I may be getting some of that audio interface/etc advice. I thought I was done with this kind of shit - getting to do this at 40 was the highlight of last year
  16. Yep - string swing. I have once upon a time had a Hercules wall mount and it was also fine. But, I have string swings and hang lots of guitars and basses including nitro guitars and I’ve never had an issue with the string swings.
  17. I’m not a metallurgist or anything, just figured I’d try out the bluegrass strings since I was on a bit of a cuttin grass kick, but they are monel, which is some kind of nickel alloy that is I guess fairly resistant to corrosion. I haven’t a/b’d them with a fresh set of phosphors but I’d say they are less bright sounding than that, but they have thus far not gotten that cruddy dead feeling or sound that you get from phosphor or 80/20 strings when they start to go dark.
  18. English muffins, these were a big hit with the kids. Burned some of them a bit in the skillet but the ones from the griddle turned out great if a bit misshapen.
  19. I was for some reason compelled to take a 60 minute “sweat steady” ride today.
