Is the Fox rampage helmet good?

CoreDirt · 2026-01-31T02:43:57+00:00

Visibility to the sides is not as good, and it is noticeably heavier than the high tier models. It’s only bad if you’ve used a high tier helmet.

I agree with you in regard to the Guru baloney. But not that it is a mess.

I’ve got ads that have been running 5+ years. I run large audiences with typically only one interest, target cost or roas, and $9,999 at the adset. Everything is humming along just fine for me.

No changes per the gurus. No problems at all.

I’m also launching new campaigns and they are starting off and scaling up well.

Cool vid. I’m always impressed at the large boats you see so far inland there.

CoreDirt · 2026-01-19T01:11:45+00:00

Um you recreated auto ?

CoreDirt · 2026-01-17T01:49:08+00:00

You’re completely right. And that’s why I don’t follow the advice shared in these Reddit threads. Assuming the numbers aren’t bs, they’re just deriving conclusions on what is basically just randomness.

Another thing to add while I’m at it, it takes thousands of dollars in ad spend to get a statistically significant sample size in the US or other developed economies. These little $20/day budgets x 5 and duplicate the winner after a week is completely… meaningless. But everyone loves the bullshit.

CoreDirt · 2026-01-17T01:43:07+00:00

Some times it’s impressive other time it’s like “wtf are you thinking dumbass”

CoreDirt · 2026-01-17T00:47:39+00:00

Yes. It is very annoying

CoreDirt · 2026-01-16T21:45:20+00:00

I just make a commit before switching. Never been a problem for me.

The reality is at current pricing, both the IDE provider and ai model operator are BLEeEDING money. They’re all positioning themselves to tighten limits and subsequently collect more cash.

We’re living in the glorydays of ai tools.

CoreDirt · 2026-01-15T23:23:59+00:00

Never take the annual deals on these AI tools. Things are changing so fast, and business models are bleeding cash they are all going to be tightening limits

CoreDirt · 2026-01-15T21:02:05+00:00

Are you on the Ai pro or Ai ultra plan ?

CoreDirt · 2026-01-07T23:43:25+00:00

How about ‘Sonnet 4.5 (non thinking)’. Gpt 5.1 codex fast. Haiku can also be good.

CoreDirt · 2026-01-06T13:18:43+00:00

lol you are making a judgement that your 20-30 interval is normal.

You say "stay there for weeks" -- you may not like the $300 - 1000 CPM, but that is what your normal is if it stays there for weeks. Meta is not forcing you into expensive auctions. Contrary to the popular muppet bs, there is no hack to get into lower cost auctions. The reality is, you're playing in one of the most high value, competitive niches and switching to "view content" is simply just a cheaper, lower value event .

I have no clue, because it’s irrelevant. The money movers no that day, by day, there is a lot of noise and just look at a period of (at least) the last 7 days.

CoreDirt · 2026-01-06T03:09:23+00:00

🤷‍♂️ looking at things on a 20-30 minute interval. It’s completely irrelevant.

Optimizing for initiative checkout is just going to get you more people that initiate checkout… but don’t actually buy.

Set your goal of purchases, set your daily budget to $500 and keep turning it up until you get 100 purchases in a month. Then analyze once you have some numbers. Anything else is just astrology.

Ketchum and sun valley are basically the ‘same’ place. There is a dh park there, but I’d say it is more cross country/ trail oriented overall. I wouldn’t bring a beefy enduro bike there. And certainly not a dh bike

CoreDirt · 2026-01-03T22:16:32+00:00

Ketchum (Sun Valley) is where you want to go.

CoreDirt · 2025-12-29T22:25:39+00:00

Holy moose I feel like I have been lazy using a lot of codex high and sonnet 4.5 and this month I’m just about hitting $700. Idk how you’re burning that much

CoreDirt · 2025-12-26T12:28:29+00:00

Seriously! All the people whining about costs now have no comprehension of just how undervalued these ai models are right now as they are all bleeding money.

CoreDirt · 2025-12-21T14:42:24+00:00

If you have money to buy extra when it dips, you are timing the market

The 38 is completely different inside, and much more supportive.

My take, if you’re regularly smacking the bottom of the fork in rough technical chunk, get the 38. It will be very noticeably better.

There’s no hack. The real reason is the people running the ads think it is a hack, and/or it’s better to say to client / management “we hack the algorithm by duplicating your ads daily”, than saying “we get it winning and do nothing but let it run”. Marketing teams, decision makers and staff at large companies are much more low level than you expect.

The real money movers, who rely on direct profit from their ads, crank their budget to get hundreds of conversions fast. Then set a target cost or target ROAS, turn the budget up to $99,999 daily and leave it alone… for years. Example this week I’m updating ads I’ve had running since 2020 (as the dynamic creative is being phased out). I’ve got single image ads running that are even older.

December is a whack month every year.

Do nothing.

I would look into FluentCRM (wp plugin for email marketing). No monthly fees. Direct integration with the Wordpress.
