We’re back for round 3(?)! I’m a board-certified nephrologist (kidney doctor) with some time kill, so ask away. I will also field questions about the Grateful Dead, bicycles, or my favorite conspiracy theories.

Previously I have submitted proof to the mods, so hopefully they can just review my last post(s).

Just bought a new bike today, one of the heavily discounted ones from the website. LBS had no issue price-matching, and apparently Cannondale will credit/reimburse them for the difference when they price match. Ask nicely and it should work for you.

Hey all - Sadly moved from Portland several months ago and I still have an Eastmoreland range card. It has 3 large buckets remaining and a 15min range lesson. I’ll send it to someone in exchange for a $10 donation to the Oregon Food Bank. If a bunch of folks are interested, I’ll choose a random one tomorrow (1/29).

Hi all - Potential storm coming my way and a baby at home, so I recently purchased a Champion 6500w Inverter Generator. It has a floating neutral per the specs in the manual.

I’m planning to use it with extension cords just to power a small space heater, charge electronics, and maybe the refrigerator if a potential outage lasts long enough for frozen breastmilk to start thawing.

I will not be hooking it up to my house in any way.

My understanding is that this is a very low-risk situation with regards to grounding the generator, though the manual says that I should ground it.

Is it best/safest for this purpose to bone the neutral? If so, it seems I can do that with one of those plugs,

Ask away. I won’t be able to provide any individual medical advice or recommendations. Happy to verify credentials with the mods.

Hey all - I just moved down to San Antonio and am hoping to find someone(s) to climb with. I sport climb and dabble in trad. Though I’m a bit more rusty in that regard so if you’re newer to trad climbing, we would probably want to stick to protected routes. I lead around 5.10 and can top rope a bit harder than that. I’ve got a full rack so if you have the knowledge/skills but not the gear, that would work as well.

It looks like Medicine Wall is kind of the outdoor option nearby? I’m on faculty at UTSA so I’d have access to their climbing wall and can bring guests for $10, so that is also an option. Looks like there aren’t any indoor ropes aside from Lifetime Fitness.

Feel free to DM me o

Hey all - We’re moving to SA next week, and I’m hoping someone can point me in the direction of good and safe road or gravel riding. Our house is in the Pearl but I’m willing to travel a bit.

Also if you need someone to ride with, let me know. I’m 34yo, typically ride 20-40 miles, about 18mph sustained on flat roads, and always happy to climb the tallest things around.
