It’s a dangerous job. The fumes are toxic and they are constantly exposed to them in high levels.

Bit different as I’m on a bike but…

I bring: Enough extra water for someone else. Extra medical supplies

hollywoodhoogle,

I carry a level up in gear as injuries while MT biking are usually more severe

Bleed stop packets Gauze pads Wrapping bandages Soap Hydrogen peroxide Rubber gloves Extra joint…

I’ve helped clean up and stabilize people plenty of times. It’s nice to be ready.

What a wonderful experience.

I loved every minute of the week.

So many genuinely kind and caring people.

The most staggering revelation I had was that many of my preconceived judgments based on stereotypes were way wrong. We camped with people that I would not normally connect with in the default. Some of these people I think have the potential to be strong, lifelong friends

There’s more in common Than there is a difference.

People go on and on about Tech, Bros and sparkle ponies, but scenarios like this, allow those of us, with the best intentions to shine. I hope this year’s Takeaway is more about the strength of unity than anything else

To me yes.

I believe environment opens people up in a way not found commonly outside of the event.

It’s also a selection bias situation. Those that go are more inclined to bring open maybe.

I grew as a person, made friends, and shared feelings with strangers openly.

10/10 experience.

Yes. There are many

10 micron refers to the decimal places in machining.

Having a tolerance of .01 mm isn’t crazy on some parts.

Molds for injection molding for example

Yes that is also true but in mfg people call out microns in a funny way.

Decimal places so less than .xx would be considered 10 micron as a tolerance

Cool

I’ve only been in it a few times and only short term.

My work was in other industries

I think my point was that most people don’t understand tolerances and what a micron means.

Sure but as throughput increases the amount of time it’s being used goes down. Or something

The back one is even worse. You have to pull up the cup holder mat and pry out a clip before you can pull a wire.

hollywoodhoogle,

Absolutely

Group walks and multiple breakfasts

If you’re on Bluesky I posted some of my favorite fun facts…

Spoiler, they are not fun

Not sure the name. Sorry

It was a blast. Super smooth. Huge range.

Helmets are pretty functional. They do lesson impacts significantly. They have saved many lives.

Requiring them is wrong.

We should ban the dangerous thing not require the life vest.

hollywoodhoogle,
@hollywoodhoogle@lemmy.world avatar

Fully agree. Pro helmet but anti mandate law.

When I lived in there Netherlands I road helmets for sport biking and didn’t for causal riding to the park etc.

Then one day I crashed in a hurry. Head to cement. Concussion, depression and headaches. After that it’s helmet almost all the time.

We should live in a world where it’s safe to ride free but recognize that accidents happen and cycling is inherently dangerous

Looks like a great ramblin ride. Tough, practical and fast!

Does anyone know what is a good cycling computer? All I need is good GPS/mapping features that doesn't connect to my phone what so ever. I don't need fitness functions at all

Second the utility of the Etrex and the unfriendly UX.

Still love mine.

It’s just water.

 The real challenge is finding rain gear that you’re comfortable wearing. After living years in a place with heavy rains and snow, I really like the quality of showers pass gear.

When you’re wearing heavy duty, rain gear, you’re likely to get very warm and possibly very sweaty. I mitigate this by wearing wool for breathability and riding at a slower pace so I don’t overheat.
