Anyone taking off both wheels to transport your bike to the trail?

Anyone transport there bike this way? With both wheels off, I think the bike will fit in my car. What I'm not sure of though is when taking front and back wheels off often, does the alignment of the rotor to the brake pads stay consistent, given there is maybe a mm of free space between the two pads and the rotor? In other words if you have no rubbing, will it stay that way? Tks

Update: There's no trailer hitch compatible with my car, the trunk carriers are not compatible because it has a small wing, and the suction type carriers make me nervous. Lastly, worried a roof rack might scratch my paint. Hence why I'm asking about taking off both wheels.

Enough Red Guard?

Hired a contractor for this tile shower install. Just wondering what people's thoughts are on the amount of red guard used. Shower dimensions are 44 inches on the back, 42 on the divider wall and 39 inches where the faucet fixtures are. Red guard was applied to all the walls, top and side of the divider wall and all sides of the step, and lastly all sides of the niche.
A bit less than 75% of one gallon bucket was used in total.
You can see the lettering of the durarock in the niche though I'm not sure how much that matters. Thanks.

Rate this shower tile work.

Thoughts on this tile work? It's my first time having a tile shower installed so I don't have much to compare to. However seems these one inch and half inch slats are not good, as well as this one in the corner with a wide gap? Tks

Update: I may not have been clear enough. I did not lay this tile, I hired a company/contractor to do it.

Are there contractors who install Tile Shower floors the right way?

From what I've learned , the pvc liner should be sitting on some type of mud bed that is sloped toward the drain. And this mortar bed is the first layer of all the layers of the floor from the ground up? After that another layer of mud, then the stuff to make the tiles stick to the mud, and then the tile?
Would this be considered industry standard and following manufacturing requirements? I just had to let go of a contractor who had put down as the first layer a flat mud bed and a flat pvc liner on top of that. In fact parts of the liner were actually sloping away from the drain.
Their next layer was going to be a mud layer sloped toward the drain, with the tile on top of that.
He insisted this was the way to do it and I kept telling him that made no sense because tile is not water proof and neither is the mud, and it could find its way down to the pvc liner in which case the water has to be able to flow to the drain.
Am I crazy?

I got Elden Ring, and so far I just want to go back a replay Bg3

Maybe I just need to give it more time, but at least on my first initial play, my thought was that I just want to go back and continue doing my second replay of bg3. Bg3 is relaxing and chill, and Elden Ring is like being thrown into the ring for an mma fight.
What are you all's thoughts that also played Elden Ring?

Kilz, never again

After a shower demo a contractor sprayed this crap all over the two by fours telling me it would kill mold. Well later I learned it does nothing of the sort but the worst part is this stuff smells so bad. It’s now been 48 hours and the bathroom door has been closed with a towel under it and still the master bedroom smells awful. I will never ever use this stuff again or allow anyone to use it in my house and I just wanted to warn people about it.

Room smells after shower demo

Our walk-in shower has failed ( tiles falling out) , and the entire shower was recently demoed out. We are letting it dry now and also trying to determine what kind of shower to replace it with. In the meantime, it smells bad. I’ve even closed the door to the bathroom and put a towel at the bottom of the door and the master bedroom still smells. I would call it a musty, wet type of smell. Just curious if anyone else who has demoed their shower if they have experienced this? Tks

Major bug with controller - description covers actions

This is becoming a real problem. I believe this to be a bug, but wondering if anyone has found a solution. I already set input to controller only which didn’t change anything.
If I try to click on X for actions on an item, the description of the item shows over the action menu so that I’m not able to see the action menu therefore I’m not able to do things like move to my other Party members or drop. I’ve tried disabling tool tips, and compare, which also doesn’t change anything.

Tks

Just Stop With This Advice I Keep Seeing Over and Over Again.

I have to say something. I keep seeing people saying they have made many videos and barely getting any subs or views. You go and look at their channel and their videos are just terrible. Bad audio, can barely even understand what they are saying, and/or its a topic that no one is interested in. Or its a topic that does have an audience, gaming commentary for example ( entertainment) but the person is simply not entertaining for whatever reason.

This is what gets me. There's always a hand full of replies that say something to the nature of:
"Success was not made overnight. Just keep going and if you just keep making videos for one, two (enter whatever long time frame here) more years it will eventually take off."

This is THE WORST advice anyone in this scenario could ever be given. I'm guessing these people did not even bother to look at their videos.
There is a reason the age old saying exists which is "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting to get a different outcome."
If you've put out the same videos for 3 to 6 months months, let's say 16 to 21 videos, and there are hardly any views, continuing to put out the same videos for another 6 months will not get you a different outcome. You have to change what it is you are making, target a different audience, or change your marketing of the videos.

Difficult Question about Buy to Open a call and Sell to Close a call (long)

Hypothetical: Let's say one wants to buy one million dollars of long call options on a stock, 12 to 13 months out. Let's just say for example's sake its rklb
Let's assume the stock has risen significantly.
The main thing I'm having trouble understanding is this. When it comes time to exit the position 13 months later, and you sell to close, how do you know if you will be able to sell to close all of them ( assuming the total number of contracts is say, 1000)? Will there be enough on the other side to do it?
Thanks

[Question] What is a realistic flat fee for a one-off sponsorship with 12M monthly views?

Hey everyone, hoping to get some insight from talent managers or influencer marketers.

What would a typical flat fee look like for a single, one-off brand integration for a creator in the Home & Living category with these metrics?

  • YouTube: ~2.6 million views/month
  • TikTok: ~5 million views/month
  • Instagram: ~5 million views/month

Audience Engagement: This is a highly engaged audience.

Assume the deliverable is a standard 60-second integrated ad read on YouTube and a dedicated short-form cross-post. I am specifically looking for rates on organic posting only—no whitelisting or usage rights included in this baseline fee.

What kind of flat rate would a creator like this command? Thanks.
