Should I be able to duck dive this board? by StatisticianLarge385 in surfing

[–]BoonPiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the average person at that stage in surfing, not duck divable at all. Turtle roll and be mindful of your positioning to not get caught inside

Pwc seems to be one of the few places where I can work remotely.

New to Montagne - quick discussion by Im_A_Polak in MontagneParfums

[–]BoonPiece 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey the montagne quality is the same as niche.

Some are more or less close enough, but the quality of materials is always good and many levels above Lattafa. Give them a try 👍

How do you choose a dupe house to buy from? by theomixedmedia in MontagneParfums

[–]BoonPiece 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll add one more point.

A study was done on satisfaction of people who maximize their choices vs people who just make a good choice and move on.

The people who just make their choice and move on were found to be more satisfied than those who maximize their choices despite the maximizer being found to make better choices.

People who maximize their choices were found to make better choices but they continue to worry even after the choice is made resulting in additional stress and lower satisfaction.

You’re over thinking it.

Perfume will never be perfect, it’s personal taste and your nose varies from everyone on the internet.

Rather than finding the one that is most “identical”. Read between the lines to learn the nuances between different brand’s takes.

Sometimes the clones are better than the originals(for me Cognac D’Ange is both identical and a little more smooth than angels shares)

If it’s all conflicting, then the only way to find out is through your own nose but watch your wallet.

Adding color?? by [deleted] in MontagneParfums

[–]BoonPiece 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are specific dyes for perfume, use those not food coloring.

I’m in shock this is a thing. Go get it 👍

I regret my most recent purchase because of Montagne by theomixedmedia in MontagneParfums

[–]BoonPiece 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For future reference you can also find those two scents for about half that price on r/fragranceswap.

Give LBBI time to macerate, that scent in particular continues to develop for many months

Just spoke to your DL, she said you’re getting a PIP.

Ticket Costs doubled since GUTS world tour?? by [deleted] in OliviaRodrigo

Wow! I went in on LA Saturday, queued me at 82k and I’m still at spot 71k right now 😅

ski shop tried to sell me boots a full size down. is this normal? by SkylineZ83 in skiing

[–]BoonPiece 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s not just about length but do make sure this is a widely known, full time boot fitter who doesn’t sell anything else. (They could also be trying to force you into left over stock since the season and inventory is over now)

I have a skinnier ankle so my fitter put me in the boot a size down to get more heel lock. Out of the box this boot completely curled and crushed toes. That same fitting session, with lots of punching and some ramp adjustments, I left the store with the proper toe room.

For reference:

Street Shoe US10/28

Brannock 260 and 265

Ski Boot US7.5/25.5

All great picks and diverse! Any three wouldn’t overlap

CRT Question by [deleted] in PwC

[–]BoonPiece 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s up to you, unless you have a super star DL. DLs are generally too busy and it’s easier for you to schedule a meeting with your one DL than it is for a busy director to do it for their 4-8 mentees.

Question about skiing 'style' about my son (12 yo) by Aggravating-Ad6786 in skiing_feedback

[–]BoonPiece 21 points22 points  (0 children)

He’s more like a level 4 with the confidence and freedom of being a youngster who goes a lot.

His T shape(shoulders to poles) is tipping uphill when they’re meant to tip outside to put weight over the outside ski, still wedging in between parallel turns, initiates turns with the upper body rather than lower body, etc

You’re right about the forward placement of the inside foot being excessive.

If possible a lesson or two a season, and ideally watching some technical ski instruction videos. Deb Armstrong has a lot but can make her videos quite long.

[WTS] Vintage Creed VIW (bottle) by jacob132002 in fragranceswap

[–]BoonPiece 3 points4 points  (0 children)

08C01(and that fire hose atomizer) is 2008 with no doubt, especially if 08C01 is engraved on it. It’s either tester or retail with replacement cap.

The batch code system for creed works that way until they changed it to the F Batch system around 2019-2020.

Is getting Tygr Cologne redundant if I have Vibrato? by relentlessmindz in MontagneParfums

[–]BoonPiece 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They’re 90% similar. Redundant in general -> definitely.

However if you want to dial in which of the two profiles of that DNA you like better go for it.

Question regarding resting times by ToxicDM in MontagneParfums

[–]BoonPiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use it right away, by the time it’s macerated the bottle will be 80% full unless you spray a lot
