The cycling gods have spoken.

I was on a group ride with our club yesterday, and the ride leader (also the president of the club) announced he may not be able to wait for someone with a flat tire or other issue, as he had something he had to get to after the ride ended. “It’s not necessarily a no-drop ride,” he said, which is unusual in our group - almost all of our rides are no-drop (or, as I think of them, “regroup regularly”), the ones that aren’t are well marked on the calendar.

Guess who got the flat tire, and got left behind because only one other person even knew there was an issue, and had to call his wife for pickup because he couldn’t get the tire off?

(We realized they were missing at a later intersection and called him, that’s when we found out what happened. We did wait for the other guy that tried to help him; he finished the ride with us.)

This sounds more like a run. I haven’t seen Strava record or report GPS data for just steps taken throughout the day. But runs, walks, bike rides, and other sports will often record GPS.

But the op is right - if the ship is moving, the athlete will get “credit” for additional distance traveled, or they’ll lose distance, depending on which way they are running compared to the ship’s direction of travel, possibly balancing out if one of the other reverses direction at the appropriate time.

Let’s have a fire alarm!

Then we’ll go to the mountain for a team building exercise.

I looked it up! It’s the episode where Marge becomes a cop. She insisted Bart wear padding for his skateboard, then cut to this scene.
Uh it appears I somehow applied my guess to the wrong post!
This is an interesting spelling of “burger”.
The gambling episode, I think. Bart ran a game in the dryer, and it caught on fire.

I use Arch, by the way.

(I don’t, I used Debian. It just fit.)

If you’re using a tripod, most cameras have a delay shutter. I use 2 second delay all the time (real estate photography) - I trigger it, then get my hands away, and it takes the picture.

Sometimes I actually up the time delay to give myself time to escape if I’m in the shot.

For the Echo Show 8 converted to Android and running HA that sits on the counter,

  • Controls for scenes and lights. In general the only one we regularly use is “bedtime” because that varies each day. The other scenes are automatic, but I still have the scene controls because sometimes things get changed.
  • Upcoming games and scores for our sports teams. Games appear up to 48 hours in advance and remain no more than 15 hours after game start (it’s supposed to be 12 hours after the end, but the end is harder to calculate from the data, so I do this instead).
  • Weather radar.
  • Badges with info like outside temperature, average temperature of each floor, and garage temperature.
  • The planned meal for today and tomorrow - tomorrow is in case I need to get something out of the freezer. Today’s dinner disappears after 8pm.

If you scroll down you can see a weather forecast, but we rarely use that. The radar is nice even though it takes a good bit of space on screen. I might shrink it to see how that works.

There are also two other menus available. One lets me reset various counters (for example after I’ve cleaned the pet fountain every 30 days), and the other gives access to thermostats. Both of those are rarely used.
