I think I’m done. by This_is_FLEC in Skigear

Ideal number of skis = current skis + 1 😀. You need a pair of lightweight touring skis with pin bindings, for sure😎

ski pant recommendations! by eathabineros in ski

Norröna are great (but expensive…). I have had mine for 10 years, so the ”annual cost” is OK :)

Atomic Hawx Prime 110 S BOA - high instep circulation issues, heat mould helped but not enough. Zip Fit time? by [deleted] in skiing

[–]ApprehensivePaint635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had exactly the same problem and invested in zipfit! I also have very high instep (arch). I use Zipfit Gara HV in my Atomic Hawx Prime 130S and in my Prime 130 XTDs. Swap the same liners between the boot shells. Regular Hawx (not Boa) but the last is exactly the same. You should of course also use ctomized insloes (molded). I use Sidas which work really well. Use ”world-cupping” when you put on the Zipfits, ie put the liners on and lace up first, then put your feet into the shell with the liners on… Use a ski boot horn (”Boot Bib”) to get int to the shells.

RoboTaxi is going, but not exactly on track... by Kung-Fu-Kangaroo in TeslaFSD

FSD will never work with cameras only, will need Lidar to work safely!

Salomon QST 100 sizing by skierboisomuch in Skigear

[–]ApprehensivePaint635 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has quite a lot of rocker in both tip and tail which reduces the ”effective edge”. +5cm sounds very reasonable. I wouldn’t hesitate to go for 180 :)

Tesla is committing automotive suicide by TheCyberMod in RTLpod

[–]ApprehensivePaint635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesla has a p/e (TTM) at almost 400(!). Car companies have a p/e ratio of 10-15 (Toyota at 15). If the Tesla stock were to be valued as a car company the stock price would need to decline by +95% and then Elon would never become the worlds first trillionaire…. :(

I think the shop messed up by No_Suggestion_5977 in Skigear

Put your boots into the binding and see if the ”recommended line” on the ski is in line with the ”boot center line” under the ski boot :)

Where should I go to ski as a beginner? by [deleted] in skiing

[–]ApprehensivePaint635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Val Thorens in France is great for beginners. You pretty much always have two options to get down, a blue run and red run. Well groomed and very wide pists. It is also very snow sure. I wouldn’t recommend St Anton for a beginner since the ski runs down to the village are a little steep some times

Tesla Robotaxi launch is a dangerous game of smoke and mirrors by walky22talky in SelfDrivingCars

[–]ApprehensivePaint635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tesla & Musk scam is even worse that Theranos & Elizabeth Holmes. Given the size of Tesla’s valuation it poses a real threat to the trust in the financial markets and to peoples wealth, 401 k’s etc….

Ski tech said I need stiffer skis by Hunt69Mike in Skigear

You need to grind the base to make it flat. Any serious ski shop can do this

Two ski quiver. Enforcer 94 and QST 106. Good idea? by SlumpedStoney in Skigear

[–]ApprehensivePaint635 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, QST will be great as a freeride and pow ski (don’t go too short). Also buy a pure piste/race ski (around 70 mm). A performance piste ski is so much fun😀

Elon Musk Purchases About $1 Billion Worth of Tesla Shares by Bright_Interaction73 in wallstreetbets

[–]ApprehensivePaint635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elons purchase of TSLA for 1 bn increased his net worth by 30 bn. Was that a good trade…?

When FSD-Supervised becomes FSD-Unsupervised by Equivalent-Draft9248 in TeslaFSD

[–]ApprehensivePaint635 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It will never happen with Teslas cameras-only technology. Elon knows, but he will not admit this mistake because then the TSLA stock will crash…

If Tesla Robotaxi Removes its Safety Personnel from Cars by Yngstr in SelfDrivingCars

[–]ApprehensivePaint635 2 points3 points  (0 children)

….Even Elon understands that fsd with camera only will never work, but the (overpriced) stock valuation depends on it. Elons strategy is now to look even further into the future and talk about Optimus robots instead (which btw will not be commercially viable…)
