BMI in concept is important, but the actual numbers don't scale well with height.

meatpimp posted:They don't necessarily scale with height or muscle mass, but once you know where you are at individually, it's a good number to track. At that point you're just tracking weight anyway. I only weigh in once a week and even with a relatively consistent diet, I'll end up with no change one week, and 2-3x a week's goal the next week.

I just bought four of the $180 10TB drives. Slightly higher price per GB but I'm limited to eight drives total on my main server.

With DVDs and appropriate software you can fit a visually-identical copy of the video into a much smaller space using x264 or x265 codecs. I use Handbrake myself.

Ferremit posted:Once you tie plex into Sonaar and Radaar, its hunger for storage space gets stupid. Yes it does. 39TB today and down to 1.5TB left. Once I swap out the 5TB drives for 10TB, 54TB, and I'm probably going to shove two of the 5TB drives in the non-hot-swap bays in a separate JBOD ZFS pool just to have another 10TB of susceptible-to-drive-failure storage.

meatpimp posted:That misses the point that some motors respond very well to a small increase in octane due to aggressive map adjustment based on knock sensor input. The giant question mark is whether or not a given engine's factory programming will do this. Anything modern will certainly adjust timing around, but the computer will only advance timing so far - if the maximum allowed isn't advanced enough to need more than 87 octane, then there wouldn't be any benefit.

The Door Frame posted:They didn't have a manual reset button? The entire bottom plastic and harddrive of my ACER has to be removed to access the battery, but there's a button that you can push with a pin to disconnect and reset the battery without taking everything apart Or, failing that, holding the power button down for a long time generally forces a hard reset of everything.

I'll generally try my best to find some aspect of the item that isn't explicitly in a description or photo and ask a question about it, but failing that there's not many better ways to start communication here. It's certainly better than just saying "Hi".

This came up on an AvE vid-eh-yo once. Apparently there's a test standard where a vacuum has to survive X time running at full tilt, fully obstructed. Most vacuums accomplish this with alternate ways for air to get in, Dyson seems to just monitor the RPM directly and cuts power. We've had one for a couple years, love it. The only thing I wish it had was a bigger battery, or a swappable one. Or a Milwaukee M18 equivalent.

I don't have specifics but all three of those should be identical in terms of weight and dimensions, ignoring the exhaust/intake manifolds and the accessory drives (which vary based on the car they're from - LS1/2/3 Corvettes all have the same belt spacing, for example, but it's different from fourthgen/GTO and truck/new Camaro) Edit: also oil pans. But literally any part of a LS that changes the dimensions can be swapped with the part from a different application. IOwnCalculus fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Jan 30, 2019 |

Applebees Appetizer posted:I don't know how many people here are old enough to remember CDs coming out, but coming from records and cassettes it was amazing. I remember buying my first CD boombox, then getting Led Zeppelin 4 on CD and being completely blown away by the sound quality. I was happy to replace all my records and cassettes with CDs and have never thought once about ever going back to that. I've literally never played a record but yeah my early music collecting days were on cassette and once I could afford to get my own CD player, I never went back. I will say, based on Techmoan's various reviews of older high-end gear, it seems like the real limiting factor on tape was money. A high-end cassette tape deck, playing a well-mastered cassette with the proper noise reduction, sounds as good as anything else. The tape deck was a variable you could control to some extent by throwing a large amount of money at it, the latter, not so much. Poorly mastered cassettes and cheap decks were vastly more common, and sounded like utter trash. CDs (and every digital format to follow) removes the vast majority of those variables. The one thing you can control as a consumer - the cost of your player - no longer makes any significant difference in the quality of the audio output, so that cheap Aiwa CD player sounds better than any tape deck you could have ever gotten your hands on for remotely near the same money.
