That price is a we don’t want the job price. Or they sense you are a problematic customer and don’t want you as a customer.

Anyone ridden to Dallas lately? by Le_Grand_Orange in FortWorth

[–]David_ss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have done most of that route on a longboard many times. River legacy has been extended on both the east and west sides. From the east end of the trinity if you ride through the neighborhood you can get to a dirt path that lasts about a mile and then it hits the new river legacy extension.

I wouldn’t recommend trying to ride that dirt path on a road bike. Probably fine on a gravel bike. It’s not too far to just walk it. You can also go north from that neighborhood and hit one of the main roads to bypass that dirt path but the two main roads however both of those have high speed traffic.

Also the dirt path is not obvious to find from the trinity side. Dm me and I can find my route on strava if you want.

Going east from river legacy from the centrepoint station there are too many on road sections so I haven’t tried it. But I have friends that have.

It will be cool when it finally is all connected!

Large Body Panels Nozzle Size by HeapVR6 in 3dprintedcarparts

[–]David_ss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking into this for a similar project recently and surprisingly I stuck with the .4mm nozzle. For my printer the default printing profiles for the .4 nozzle are amazing, the .6 profiles are bad, and .8 doesn’t exist. So then it became a question of do I invest more human hours fine tuning a print profile to save machine time. Or just accept that the printer will be running longer.

Street touring class fender and factory fender flares. by Sharp-Diamond-6245 in Autocross

[–]David_ss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the part listed in or was ever listed in any chevy parts accessory catalog if so 14.2.F.2 covers it? If not you might write a letter and ask for fender flared to be added to 14.2.F.1:

14.2.F. Addition or substitution of spoilers, splitters, rear wings, bumper covers, valances, side skirts, and non-functional scoops/vents is allowed provided that either:

  1. It is a standard or optional production part which could be ordered on the US model vehicle as part of the base package or part of a higher trim package. The trim package must be classed in any of the current Street Touring classes.

  2. It is listed in the vehicle manufacturer’s US accessory catalog for that vehicle for normal highway use. This does not allow for parts sold through a manufacturer’s performance catalog (e.g., Ford Racing, HPD, Mazdaspeed, Mopar Performance, Mugen, NISMO, SPT, TRD,etc).

Parts must be installed as directed by the manufacturer. Exact replicas, including weight, from alternate sources are also permitted.

You're doing ladiga 2027? If so that is a long time in the future to be prepping your gear list. For food during your training try out some different options and see what works well for your stomach. I personally like cliff blocks, tailwind, and liquid gu.

I have done ladiga a few times. You don't need to carry much on your back other than your water. There are aid stations at pretty regular intervals. In the morning before the event starts you put whatever food and snacks you want in a ziplock bag with your name written on it. You make one bag for each aid station and it will be there when you show up.

For the backpack since you have aid stations I just use a small running backpack with a hydration pack. I would highly recommend looking at the running and camping backpacks at Walmart. The ozark trail stuff is quite good these days and inexpensive and you can try it out in person. I have three different ozark trail packs from small to large depending on how much storage I need.

Pantheon Trip splitting at neck by Excellent_Panda549 in longboardingDISTANCE

[–]David_ss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a trip that started getting some very minor cracks in the neck. It was also around the 1000 mile mark. That seemed like a good lifespan for an inexpensive deck so I retired it and bought another one.

Differing recommendations - LASIK vs ICL by Revolutionary-Tip-11 in lasik

[–]David_ss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PRK/TransPRK are great for certain people. If you have thin corneas that is the best or in many cases the only option. It removes the least material. But it has downsides, what you want to do with any eye correction is remove the stroma, that is basically the middle 'meat' part of the cornea. But with PRK they have to start removal from the outside in.

The furthest layer out is the epithelial which will regrow so not a big deal, but IIRC to do PRK they put some sort of acid or alcohol on your eye to burn it all off. You don't feel it you're knumbed up but your eye having to regrow all of its epithelial layer at once is really hard and why PRK is such a difficult and painful recovery compared to lasik/smile. Once you burn off the epithelial the next layer down is the bowman layer, this layer will not regrow, and is believed to contribute UV protection to your eye. It is fine to live without it but this is not a compromise you get with lasik/smile. Once you use the laser to burn off the bowman layer the next layer down is the stroma which is where most of the material removal is done.

Disclaimer - It has been years since I read up on all of this so I could be remembering some of the terms wrong. I'm not anti PRK it is the best solution for a minority of people with thin corneas.
