• What is up with my estimated best efforts?

  Just go to strava.com (it can't be done from the app), go to the run, and click "correct distance". Source: 10 months ago

• Uploaded activity does not show up on my "My Activities" list

  I downloaded the data for this one ride from Garmin Connect and uploaded it to Strava via the "Upload Activity" page on strava.com. The upload seemed to go just fine, but the ride STILL doesn't show up on my Strava dashboard. Source: 11 months ago

• Is there a better alternative to google maps for cycling?

  You can use other route finder like strava.com , komoot.com, ridewithgps.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• website on safari problems

  Yes. My activity feed won't load, including activity feeds at the bottom of people's profiles. I cleared all the website data, cache, and cookies for strava.com out of Safari, reloaded, and it worked on the first load, but went back to being broken after that. Seems to work fine in Firefox though. Source: about 1 year ago

• not a stickler, but come on...

• Can I get an TLDR?

• What about people like me who struggle to feel financially safe?

  Sure! None of the ways of donating that I know about (directly to the charities themselves, EA funds, others here) have a minimum amount or anything like that. Source: over 1 year ago

• Do you give to charity?

  It’s easy to look for excuses not to give but donations can make a big difference, especially if targeted in the right places. See comments further down about Givewell and Effective Altruism. https://funds.effectivealtruism.org. Source: over 1 year ago

• Do you give to charity?

  I give through Effective Altruism: https://funds.effectivealtruism.org. Source: over 1 year ago

• Effective Altruism As A Tower Of Assumptions

  Good news: If you want to support global health and development but not animal welfare, you can just donate to the Global Health and Development Fund! None of the money will go to anti-factory farming charities. Even better, you don't even need to go through EA: You could donate directly to charities recommended by GiveWell so you know exactly who's getting your money. Source: over 1 year ago
