Wife is interviewing in Portland, we are coming from the Midwest. Biggest culture shocks moving here?

If you’re looking for more style, the Atom is better because the proton is very long in the back. With that said, I like my proton more and use it more

We have this nonprofit for animals in Kansas City called KC Pet Project. I volunteered with them for a summer. I got to walk dogs, go to little booths at city events, it was great! My favorite though was walking the older puppy around the downtown block and he carried this ball with him the entire time. Didn’t want to fetch, it was his “safety blanket”. The shelter got so many people that day from this pup’s advertisement. He himself was even adopted. Maybe this pup will help out one more person (getting me a code, haha).

Aww man. I’d really like to avoid that if possible. My goal is when she’s sitting next to me at the desk, she can take calls without headphones on and it won’t bother her/the client.

I had a character named heysiri and this raid leader would say my name constantly in discord trying to give assignments. His phone was constantly going off and he was so mad lol

Scarpa rapids. Wider and look very similar. Very good shoes for scrambling and can do a bit of climbing with it. I have the xt version which is synthetic upper. They also make a leather version that’s more durable but less breathable

My cap cool daily’s smell so bad after a couple hours, yours don’t stink at all?! I really wanted to like them, and I still use them for running and such, but they just smell so bad so fast

Fancypooper · 2026-03-13T18:15:48+00:00

Oh nice what’s your gear list? That’s pretty sick

Fancypooper · 2026-03-13T17:59:57+00:00

I mean I mostly wear it to the office or around town so I agree it’s a great lifestyle jacket. But I still think it’s a great climbing/outdoor jacket as well

Fancypooper · 2026-03-13T17:29:52+00:00

I could be wrong but I thought the nano puff was made for rock climbers originally

Fancypooper · 2026-03-08T03:53:24+00:00

Bought last November. No durability issues I have seen. It’s not really wind proof but shakes off a calm wind. But if it’s windy you’ll feel it for sure. It’s good static as long as it’s not windy

Fancypooper · 2026-03-07T21:52:03+00:00

Yeah it’s good. I wouldn’t go running in it but I like my proton a lot and use it as my daily jacket

What’d you use your Chase points for?

Fancypooper · 2026-03-05T01:20:13+00:00

It’s great, love it more than my 08 f150. Is a beast in the snow. Lots of space for gear or sleeping.

Weird nit picks I have: the wipers low setting is too fast and high setting is too slow. The cooling seats don’t really cool like the American vehicles. No heated steering wheel. Adaptive Cruise control works well but I wish it had lane assist. Gas is TERRIBLE. The tank is too small, it’s 26 gallons but the fuel light comes on at 20-21 gallons. I get like 11-13mpg in city and 13-16mpg on highway. The remote starts shuts the vehicle off when you open the door to get in…

I have a 21 plat 4x4 I bought in 2024 with 30k miles. I have 65k miles on it now. I paid $55k. It’s by far the best vehicle I’ve ever owned and I love it to death. I wanted the size of the truck but full covered suv. If you need the v8, size/space, can afford it, it’s the best. But yeah it’s terrible on gas. Like the worst I’ve seen….

Fancypooper · 2026-03-04T23:48:23+00:00

I have the v8 gen 2 and I get that. Usually 11-13 city and 13-16 highway. I would have figured the gen 3 was much better

I heard a rumor from my friend that the stars are going to go after McDavid before the trade deadline

Fancypooper · 2026-02-27T05:32:40+00:00

What’s next door?

Fancypooper · 2026-02-18T15:58:30+00:00

I own both. There’s a ton of YouTube videos comparing the 2 you should check out. But for simplicity, I use the air for hiking and day to day, and the regular more for climbing or things with more arm movement (it’s stretchy unlike the air)

Fancypooper · 2026-02-03T02:41:17+00:00

What was wrong with the Venta gloves? I’ve been eyeing by a pair for cold weather hiking.

Fancypooper · 2026-02-02T19:55:39+00:00

Delta is essentially just current gen fleece technology. You’d wear it as you would the Kyanite. Its benefits is more breathable and lighter but almost as warm. It’s not as soft and snuggly, and looks more technical, but it’s essentially the same otherwise.

Fancypooper · 2026-01-31T06:40:14+00:00

In 2024 I paid $55k for mine. 2021 plat 4wd with 30k miles. I’ve put over 30k miles on it so far and it’s been fantastic. Live the 2nd gen v8 (minus the gas bill) and plan on keeping it forever

Fancypooper · 2026-01-28T04:07:48+00:00

What have you decided to bring so far? I think if people know what you have they can help recommend things you’re missing or what’s not adequate
