    I had a patched-together second hand bike for a long time which had a 2 gear front and deraileur, but a 3-position shifter, and it was always a bit of a crap shoot (depending on who had last serviced it) whether the high gear would correspond to the middle or left most shift position.

    I hate click bait but I also hate videos that convey the same information that two sentences would also provide.

    But we all know why we're watching recipe videos instead of reading recipe websites. God-fucking-awful websites.

    Nope. And honestly it's something that concerns me. I don't have kids, if I live to be old and feeble I'm going to be relying on the state for my comfort and dignity, and no thanks.

    Earlier this month, I bought a new bike for the first time in about a decade and a half (a Trek FX 3). I had done a few 25k rides and 40k ride earlier in the month, but today was the first day where I had a ride planned that the weather wasn’t awful, and I finally got a 50k ride in.

    I’m a little bemused by my Garmin right now. Even a 5k run will tell me my recovery time is 13+ hours, and a 10k run will usually say 20+ hours. But cycling 50k? 8 hours of recovery is apparently all Garmin thinks that I need. And don’t get me wrong, I believe it, I’ve planned my long run for tomorrow morning in the expectation that I’ll be recovered by then. But it’s still weird and a little funny to me.

    Bikes can do amazing distance with much lower effort and other than mountain biking it's fairly low impact as you don't hammer any joints or have other impacts, so it's just muscle recovery.

    Same boat here in the US for the most part. Some of the more left leaning states allow it but i haven't looked into exactly what the requirements are yet. Really hoping that in the 40 years before it would even be a consideration that it is more wide spread.

    If "spiteful and vindictive" are the words you want to use to describe "skeptical of a mass 29 team conspiracy stretching back to Tim Donaghy and David Stern specifically targeted at the Philadelphia 76ers", then I think you're misreading the room a little bit. I'm comfortable saying the hate does not flow through me on that one.

    It definitely isn't personal and I react the same way every time someone does a "the other team shot more free throws than mine, therefore NBA is rigged" thing. I've done it to TelMarine many times! The idea that we have to have a special protected zone to allow for "thinking the NBA is rigged specifically against the team I root for" is a strange one for me, as someone who sees conspiracy theories lampooned routinely and with gusto on this subforum every day. I agreed that the thread title was a little extra -- I don't think the OP meant for it to be and it's been changed and apologized for -- but I don't know that mentioning "mastermind adam silver rigs games" in a joking manner needs to be viewed as some horrible attack either.

    For real, if the reaction to this theory makes us assholes, well, then this thread has been full of assholes for a while. I get that may seem to be the reality for some, we certainly do cultivate a certain flavor of hateraide here, but those who are on either end of the mudslinging are pretty much in on the bit.

    In this case, there were some wild claims and lots of people made reasoned, reapecftul, and crafted responses that were generally met with hostility and derision. If its become a joking shorthand for some of us, in large part its because our good faith engagements were brushed off and this is what we are left with. It got tense and weird, so we've made it lighter by joking about it, not sure why that would be off limits.

    what's funny is when I bring up Adam Silver it isn't even referencing Knight, it's just a general comment and it's not novel. Big sports league commissioner writing the script has probably been around since the birth of the universe.

    Brunson set a playoff scoring record for the Knicks. And this wasn't like a 130 point trackmeet, both teams were under 100, and i think Brunson hit only 2 threes. What a performance.

    He makes less money than Gordon Hayward, Kyle Lowry, and even Jordan Poole.

    Really not sure what to make of what's normal for cycling and recovery, I usually just do what I do and don't pay any mind further

    I've been riding a Trek FX 1 since 2017 and used to have a 4km commute with a record of 45km in a day going across town that I still remember hurting like hell after

    Now my commute at my current job is 25km one way and I split the day probably 50/50 at my desk and walking around a warehouse

    I feel like I manage it pretty easily and often go out of my way after work for grocery runs (I have a rear pannier rack and two 16-20ishL bags)

    But on the other hand I hate running and never do it even a little

    I still feel bad from the bad memories from last year and didn't know if they'll ever get better. 🙃

    I can't promise they'll get better per se but things like this do eventually take up less space and someday it'll be five, ten, fifteen years from now and you'll be able to go 'that was awful but look at all the good I have in my life now'

    you're allowed to feel sad and bad about it, it was a crappy and painful thing, there's no rushed timeline on feeling 'better' about it

    Athenor, I'd suggest setting up a separate savings account with your bank that is just for accumulating your down-payment money. Anytime you want to make a 'luxury purchase', you have to put an equivalent amount, or $25, or whatever you decide, into that savings account. It's okay to live your life and buy things that you enjoy, but this will help you invest in yourself while making those choices.

    This was literally what I was planning on doing today. I can create as many buckets as I want in my bank account. I have a tendency to use my actual savings account to pay a few bills from, so I am not sure if I can trust myself to use that.
    Another option depending on your employer, is to increase your 401k/IRA holdings and take a loan from yourself to cover down payment and closing. That is allowable, and the additional savings would be tax free and gain interest.

    Not all employers allow 401k loans.

    I'm trying to learn about steganography, and all the videos I watch seem to want to make sure people understand that it is distinct from cryptography.

    But I don't see how it is. I mean, if you hide a text message in an image by converting that text into a series of subtly altered pixels that then have to be decoded on the other end, how is that not cryptography?

    The only difference I can see is that steganography tries to hide the fact that there's any message being sent at all.

    Which just sounds like cryptography with extra steps.

    Yeah, it sounds like it could be easy, but I'd like to have an electrician have a look at everything in case some dumb decisions had been made and I don't want to be electrocuted.

    This particular breaker is labelled "GFCI Outlets" and encompasses the outlets in both bathrooms, the primary bathroom fan (but not the hallway bathroom's fan), the front porch outdoor outlet, and presumably the back porch outlet (haven't tested that one). The breaker itself has a "Test" button on it. None of the outlets in the bathrooms are GFCI-type outlets with the test and reset buttons. I'm wondering if it's a mistake that the bathroom fan is connected to this breaker, or a mistake that the hallway bathroom fan is not connected to it.

    You can wire a GFCI to protect just itself, or everything downstream from it on the circuit. I have the outlets by sinks in my basement set to 'self only' protection, so if it trips, the rest of the circuit stays live. Your fan could be either way and it is fine either way... like I wouldn't expect the fan to get wet but I could see someone deciding it was good to protect for. Just to check, though, you and your wife are aware that a tripped breaker needs moved to OFF before being moved back to ON, right? I'd guess so but figured worth checking. If you think it was just you guys getting confused, a bad GFCI outlet will only take a few minutes to replace and $20 or so for the outlet.

    Cryptography says

    Suppose I encode a message M using process F with key K e.g. E = F(M,K)

    How much does knowing M, E, and F tell you about another message pair E' and M', using the same transform F and secret key K? Cryptography wishes it could make it zero, and it gets sort of close.

    Naively, breaking stenography would be, once you find any message, you know where to look for future messages, and you can apply plaintext techniques like letter frequency analysis or whatever. Knowing the scheme tells you a lot about breaking it, where to look.

    Breaking a cryptographic scheme is finding an efficient way to recover a key given the encrypted message and knowledge of hownit was encrypted, and even having some encrypted text pairs. Knowing how it is done doesnt help you break the scheme much, youre still left with an intractable math problem almost as hard as guessing and checking all the possibilities.
