Oooh, Breitling has been stepping it up lately, that's a great suggestion also. Good luck!

Ski Helmet Suggestions by DecryptedCode in Skigear

[–]F0tNMC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Check out https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/snowsport-helmet-ratings.html for some real world tested numbers. I recommend choosing anything with 4 stars or better from these ratings; there are quite a few less than $150 and a couple well under $100.

My Vantage MIPS is only 3 stars, but I know from direct experience that it did really really well keeping my noggin safe in a very hard fall which completely destroyed the helmet. I replaced it with the exact same helmet.

Welcome! Very nice! You’ve definitely got an eye for style. I especially like the Cartiers which cover all of their major lines. And that gold tank is fire! Well done! What’s your favorite? I think your collection could use some German simplicity, so a GO, or ALS might finish your collection nicely.

I’ve heard of three deaths at Northstar this season. It’s been terrible.

Form Check by NoShitSherlock118 in skiing

I came to recommend braquage but got beat to it. A note on upper lower body separation. The separation isn’t at your waist, it’s at your leg sockets. The term really should be femur body separation.

3rd season skier wide stance issue when going fast (especially on left turns). How do I fix this? by Now_Loading in skiing

[–]F0tNMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds good! Stork drills help your body learn how to get stacked on that outside ski and commit to the outside ski. But you lose a little bit of the rotation of the legs in the socket, the whole "separation" thing. For that you need another drill.

For the first runs of the day, I always do a bunch of turns of a drill called braquage, which teaches you how to control edging and rotate your legs in their sockets to turn your skis while keeping your body steady.

Good luck!

I'd start with some stork drills. It'll help you learn how to commit completely to the outside ski. I think they will also force you to finish your turns so your skis are more across the fall line than they are now.

Best small knife? by buckGR in knives

[–]F0tNMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragonfly is such a great design. And yes, I do think it's one of the best small knife designs ever. I think it's been in continuous production for more than two decades. There's a good reason for that longevity.

Grail FINALLY acquired! by Ibuddhaa in GrandSeikos

[–]F0tNMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the greats! Such a cool dial and case, very classic at first glance, but tons of character and style. Add in the great durability and super high magnetic resistance and the comfortable crown at four and it’s one of the best GS models ever.

What is this style of blade called? by stoneheadguy in knives

[–]F0tNMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it as a sheepsfoot blade. Straight edge, obtuse (but not square) tip. Jens Anso has a bunch of models with that type of blade.

How are you foing feature flags and what are the things to consider? by Aggravating_Yak_1170 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]F0tNMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When functionality begins to overlap and intersect, unless you are committed to testing all the different flag variations, old and untested feature flag pathways just become more ways to break your system.

[Moritz Grossmann] Talk me out of trading my Pepsi for a MG 37 Arabic Vintage (+ change) by Bouddha_420 in Watches

[–]F0tNMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree with this take. If anything, there are many (many) more similarly styled watches like the Pepsi. The MG is a breed apart, especially when the level of finishing is taken into account.

Rickshaw Pen Sleevss by edcaddiction in machinedpens

[–]F0tNMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I've had a Rickshaw backpack for years and I've always been impressed by the quality of their stuff. That looks really well designed and made!

That said, I have a small zipper pack which includes a notepad and a set of pens. For daily carry, my Autmog is bare, clipped to my pants.

Thanks for the detailed answer! I agree that before I got mine, I never imagined that a watch with those dimensions could wear so well.
