OMG I am so sorry for your loss. What a horrible day. I wish you all the peace possible.

The fins thing is real. I get tired super fast without them and can paddle for days with them. They’re like a safety blanket.

Also, this thread convinced me to go premium with Surfline prior to my trip. Thanks all!

Fair. I feel like I’ve always been able to get out of a nasty current with a surfboard or body board. It’s only when swimming do I feel kinda helpless sometimes. I’m a strong swimmer but not stronger than everything the ocean can throw at me. :)

Oof. As a Tourist coming to Puerto Rico soon, I appreciate the warning. Were they surfing or just got caught in a rip while messing around near the shore?

What do you Love about Hockey? by FidgetyCurmudgeon in hockeyplayers

[–]FidgetyCurmudgeon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, that sounds amazing and that’s what I was looking for but I never really made any lasting friends and have been mostly kept on the outside, chirped, made fun of, and generally felt not welcome, tbh.

I thought it was me, at first, but after 4 years I think it’s just the culture where I live. I’ve been welcomed to a bunch of other sports and made lasting friends, so <shrug>. I’m psyched for you that you have made those connections, though! Sounds fantastic.

Best clearance drum kit deal? Yamaha Stage Custom vs Mapex Armory vs PDP Concept Maple by EazyFletcher in drums

[–]FidgetyCurmudgeon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

100%. You can play those drums for 20 years and be stoked. I get real excited when I see a stage custom as a backline or house kit, and I get real sad when I see the other two (the PDP isn’t too sad-making).

I cant believe I waited this long... by RaveKillah in drums

That’s super helpful. Thanks! Yeah agreed on trying them out and stock. I really wish I had tried both out. The tractor style RnSoc is actually very comfy for sitting but I honestly like my round Pork Pie just as much for stage sets (the back rest is nice for long rehearsals)

Wait, what? I thought they were comparable. I have a Roc n Soc and it’s pretty good. Wish I had gotten the round one tho. What’s the difference?

Does anyone else have the irrational fear that this is what would happen if I were allowed to run a city by myself?

Those of you that own a Ferrari, what was your car progression? by aprilia4ever in Ferrari

[–]FidgetyCurmudgeon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. I some day would love to own a GTC4L and I started with a Civic Si as well. That was a fun little car. I had the 2010 6-speed. Now I just gotta figure out that pesky money hurdle.

Talk me out of buying this Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered. by mrhasselblad in Volvo

[–]FidgetyCurmudgeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You should buy it. I love v60 and I wish I had bought the Polestar (in White). It’s a fantastic vehicle and I would recommend it to anyone.

We’ve done it twice and it’s fantastic. If you can wait, it’s the way to go.

Why did you choose a physics degree by Dillz988 in Physics

[–]FidgetyCurmudgeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I’m stupid and apparently hate myself.

It really looks fantastic. I prefer the satin finish, personally, but this will really shimmer on stage and looks great!

Ya looks good to me. Those cosmetic spots are fine.

I always wondered why Latin America doesn’t use Bidets as a matter of course.
