Any remnants?</title> <description><![CDATA[In the movie <a href="https://cinephiliabeyond.org/mccabe-mrs-miller/">McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971)</a> the primary set was a pretty much functional town (called Presbyterian Church) built over the course of filming in West Vancouver, BC. It was apparently inspired by the nearby <a href="https://www.nfb.ca/film/mudflats_living/">Maplewood Mudflats</a> squatter community, a few of whose residents worked as carpenters on set, alongside several US draft dodgers. Crew members actually lived in the set's structures for months. Are there any Vancouverites here who know exactly where in West Vancouver this was built and if any of it remains today?<br/><br/>Since it was clearly up at a higher elevation, I'm wondering if was within what is now Cypress Provincial Park and thus maybe avoided being built-over by subsequent development. This is just based on looking at the area on Google Maps — I'm not actually familiar with that part of Vancouver.]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/386428/Where-exactly-was-McCabe-and-Mrs-Millers-town-built-Any-remnants</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.386428</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 11 Jul 2025 05:35:02 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>theory</dc:creator> <category>BC</category> <category>BritishColumbia</category> <category>cinema</category> <category>film</category> <category>filmlocation</category> <category>McCabeAndMrsMiller</category> <category>movie</category> <category>movielocation</category> <category>movies</category> <category>movieset</category> <category>RobertAltman</category> <category>Vancouver</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/386428/Where-exactly-was-McCabe-and-Mrs-Millers-town-built-Any-remnants/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>How do I add treadmill runs to my running app?</title> <description><![CDATA[I am currently using the Fitness22 Couch to 5k app. How do I log data for a run I did on a treadmill?<br/><br/>This is the most boring question ever, but it's driving me crazy. I'm currently using the Fitness22 Couch to 5k app. <a href="https://fitness22.com/our-apps/">App listed here. </a>It tracks each run using your phone's GPS and at the end of the run, tells you the mileage and calories burned. <br><br>The other day, it was raining so instead of running outside like usual, I ran on the treadmill. The app logged that i did the run in that it acknowledges I had the app going for the prerequisite time that would take to complete that run. But it said I ran zero mileage and burned zero calories. I dont care about the calories but... I ran 2.05 miles and I want to log that somehow. But how???<br><br>I have looked everywhere online. All I can find is people saying "click on the run itself and touch the pencil to edit the mileage".... no. There is no pencil. There is no edit option. All you can do is click on the run to see the stats the phone recorded, or you can hold your finger down on the run and then it gives you the option to delete it. That's it!<br><br>I really really want to input these stats manually, because I know there will be more days in the future when I can only do treadmill runs. So I need to figure this out! I've emailed the email listed for support, but haven't gotten an answer. I've looked on the website and app listing on my phone. Nothing. Help!]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/386427/How-do-I-add-treadmill-runs-to-my-running-app</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.386427</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 11 Jul 2025 02:42:00 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>silverstatue</dc:creator> <category>apps</category> <category>C25k</category> <category>gps</category> <category>phone</category> <category>running</category> <category>treadmill</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/386427/How-do-I-add-treadmill-runs-to-my-running-app/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>Cam latches</title> <description><![CDATA[My house's crawlspace is entered through a hole in a floor covered with a plywood cover that's wobbly when stood on.

Pics of the crime scene under the cut.<br/><br/>I live in a Townhouse Style Condo governed by a HOA in the great suburbs of New Jersey that has an outdoor communal parking lot with 1 assigned space in front of the condo. There is no indoor garage parking available. <a href="https://i0.wp.com/njcondos.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Park-Place-3-Condos-Tinton-Falls-Grounds.jpeg?w=1600&ssl=1">The parking lot looks something like this. The condos are surrounded by trees, shrubbery and wildlife, with parking spaces on both sides of the road and a communal dumpster & recycling.</a><br><br>I recently caught a few squirrels trying to nest again and eat up my 2017 Toyota Rav4 wiring again in the engine bay. This is at least the 3rd time we've caught squirrels redhanded trying to either make a nest and/or eating the ground wire/electrical tape repairs. I've tried putting peppermint scented balls in the glove compartment of my car but I don't think it's deterred them much. I've also tried to move my car around in the parking lot (across from my assigned spot) but that's when I caught the 2 squirrels under the hood last weekend. <br><br>I WFH so I'm not driving <em>too</em> often, but the 3 times I've caught them for the last few years, the Rav4 had been driven earlier that same week. Our household has multiple cars but it looks like the squirrels especially like mine for some reason :(<br><br><a href="https://imgur.com/a/X3opixk">Please help me stop them from nesting and eating my car apart!</a> <br><br>Also bonus question: what's the wire in the 2nd pic above supposed to be connected to & is it important? the car isn't throwing any dashboard lights or alerts.<br><br>Thank you!!]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/386424/Help-me-evict-the-neighborhood-squirrels-from-my-car-engine-bay</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.386424</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2025 23:38:30 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator> <category>car</category> <category>eating</category> <category>engine</category> <category>ground</category> <category>nesting</category> <category>NewJersey</category> <category>NJ</category> <category>ParkingLot</category> <category>rav4</category> <category>rodents</category> <category>sensor</category> <category>squirrels</category> <category>toyota</category> <category>vehicle</category> <category>wires</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/386424/Help-me-evict-the-neighborhood-squirrels-from-my-car-engine-bay/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>How to prepare for an interview without my anxiety getting to me!</title> <description><![CDATA[I have an interview coming up early next week. Now... I'm trying to figure out how to best prepare for it without my anxiety getting the better of me. What's the best way to prepare without going overboard or underpreparing? I tend to do both.<br/><br/>I haven't had a job interview in about 3 years, so I'm pretty nervous!! The position is a pretty good fit skill-wise. <br><br>It's with a government department and I know from other people who've interviewed with the gov't that they expect STAR answer method. So I'll work on some some questions/interviews that fit that format. I don't know if I've ever had an interview that really stuck with the STAR method before, so that does worry me a bit. <br><br>I'm just not sure how to spend the next few days without worrying over not preparing enough, or preparing too much, or whatever. The interview is on Tuesday morning. I won't have much time today to prepare, but right now I'm just reading the website of the team within the ministry I'm interviewing with. I'll have almost all day Friday, Sunday, and Monday to prepare. On Saturday my friend is having a party and I want to go to that in the afternoon, but part of me is like "noooo, you must prepare ALL weekend and have no fun!!!). Can I go to that and not feel guilty about... not preparing for the interview?<br><br>What's the best way to focus my time without feeling guilty, avoiding preparing, preparing too much, etc? It's so hard for me to not view an interview as an exam I must pass, especially with the rigid STAR method.]]></description> <link>https://ask.metafilter.com/386423/How-to-prepare-for-an-interview-without-my-anxiety-getting-to-me</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:ask.metafilter.com,2025:site.386423</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2025 18:46:50 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>VirginiaPlain</dc:creator> <category>jobinterview</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://ask.metafilter.com/386423/How-to-prepare-for-an-interview-without-my-anxiety-getting-to-me/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>How I learned to stop worrying and love AI. </title> <description><![CDATA[My industry is going full-tilt-boogie into all-AI-all-the-time. I've been informed that my current lack of enthusiasm for this is unacceptable. Help! If you are an AI lover, or have learned to fake it: how do I learn to be, or at least convincingly act like, the World's Biggest AI Booster? I have six days to start adopting this persona before an in-person AI Initiative conference where I'll be expected to participate fully.<br/><br/>Medium- to-long term, I accept that I'll simply have to become proficient in using whatever tools the company decides to adopt. I'm not worried about that; I have adapted to other tech shifts just fine over my 25ish years in this industry, and I have acquiesced to a lot of morally terrible bullshit over the years as well so my soul is pretty thoroughly corroded. <br><br>It's the short-term enthusiasm problem where I'm stuck. Any hint that this isn't one's favorite development <em>ever</em> basically puts a target on your back for "next fired." For example, my boss warned me <em>never</em> to mention that I don't (intentionally) use LLMs in my personal life. So, okay, I won't say it...but also, I don't, and I'm not going to. I just need to seem like someone who does. <br><br>Are there catchphrases I can say, terms I should absolutely know and throw around? Crash courses I should take? What should I pretend I use LLMs for in my day-to-day that won't sound like I'm an idiot who can't function but will sound like I'm a super cool master of efficiency who just is too Smart and Fast to be held back by [task]?<br><br>Of possible relevance: I am not a coder/dev/engineer in any way and my job is not coding/webdev/engineering based.
