  • If you could "skill trade", what would you trade?

    Jump

  • I'm at a point in life where money isn't the issue. The bottlenecks are always time and energy. Someday I'll have time to focus on music (and skiing, and backpacking, and drawing, and ...).

  • I have a tangent related to 90's social skills: I wish I had attended university before the high-speed internet era. We collectively replaced so much face-to-face interaction with stupid Flash games and scrolling ebaumsworld.

    Jump

  • I would trade my accumulated engineering training and skills in order to be a great musician. I'm done with office work, staring at a screen all day, and coming home mentally exhausted. I want to be able to go to a jam session and shred with the best.

  • What would it take for you to switch to Linux?

    Jump

  • InDesign is on subscription licenses like the rest of Adobe's products, unfortunately.

    My wife does book layouts and miscellaneous graphic design work, and she's been using Adobe tools for so long it's like muscle memory. Using anything else that's slightly different is akin to someone rearrange your kitchen while you are away. The tools you need are still there, but now you have to go hunting for every little thing.

  • What would it take for you to switch to Linux?

    Jump

  • For various reasons, my family is tied to a small number of programs that don't have 1:1 equivalents on Linux. So far nobody is willing to deal with the inconvenience of switching to alternatives. I'm trying my best to convert them, though.

    If GIMP and Inkscape looked and felt closer to Photoshop and Illustrator, that would help greatly. Also, if I could find a good alternative to InDesign that wasn't tied to a cloud service or a subscription license.

  • Fork width tire width compatibility question

    Jump

  • 115 is an odd fork width. I think you mean the fork is spec'd to fit a 15x110mm "Boost" hub? And the hub on your front wheel is 15x100mm.

    If that's the case, you can definitely adapt the hub to fit the fork. You need two axle spacers, a 15x110mm axle, and a spacer to shift the brake disc into the correct position. Problem Solvers actually sells the spacers in a kit...

    For center lock brake discs: https://problemsolversbike.com/products/booster-hub-spacing-kit-center-lock-front

    The real question is: where tf did you get a free Flight Attendant fork?!

    Edit: if you really want to go down the rabbit hole and design your own spacers, SRAM publishes everything you need in their frame fit specifications:https://www.sram.com/globalassets/document-hierarchy/frame-fit-specifications/road/2024-road-frame-fit-specifications.pdf

  • How do you find good campgrounds?

    Jump

  • For US Forest Service land, the USFS has an interactive online map that includes campgrounds. Though be aware that many of these are minimalist spots: no reservations, no running water or electricity, just a flat place to pitch a tent and a communal vault toilet.

  • Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution?

    Jump

  • Do most Americans give the French shit? I think most Americans don't care one way or another TBH. Our country is famously self-centered and unaware of the rest of the world.

    I do give my French friend a hard time sometimes, but it's all in good fun. He does the same to me. I certainly do not look down upon him or his country.

    The minority of Americans who do sincerely talk down about the French are ignorant and shitty, though.

  • Western US gripped by extreme snow drought: ‘I’ve never seen a winter like this’

    Jump

  • It's the worst ski year I've seen. My last day out I was dodging twigs and mud some spots. One small resort in my region completely closed for a few days last week due to lack of snow. It feels like early April out there, not early February.

  • Do you volunteer?

    Jump

  • That sound like so much fun!

  • Do you volunteer?

    Jump

  • For the last few years I have been heavily involved in scouts due to my kids. It's the first time I have had a volunteer role that felt semi-professional: I'm organizing other adults, managing money, planning events weeks or months in advance, etc. I didn't initially want to be so involved. I gradually volunteered for one role after another because shit needed to get done and nobody else was willing to do it. I feel like I'm flying by the seat of my pants, but everyone seems happy with my work so I guess I'm not screwing up too much.

    Previously I did a handful of "warm body" volunteer jobs where I just had to show up on schedule and follow instructions. Fixing kids' bikes was the most fun, but serving the poor was the most rewarding. The best volunteer role was delivering and serving dinners at a tent city hosted by a local church. We would join them for the meal and talk around the table. That was eye-opening. I went away with a lot more compassion for the homeless, and a lot more disdain for all the little ways my country makes their lives unnecessarily hard.
