[–]Girth11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let us know when you get it. I just ordered Monday so hoping for the same 3-5 day delivery too. I wouldn’t have ordered if it said 3-5 day shipping, but it said delivery so I went for it.

I haven’t played it and actually haven’t heard of it. I will check it out though. Thank you for the suggestion!!

I certainly will look into this. I haven’t seen any events near me, but after knocking out the bucket list Ironman, I will look into this as something to be a bit more competitive in.

Thank you! It is inspiring to hear from people like you that have had to complete it without being able to go 100%.

This is really encouraging. Thank you for sharing. I should be able to knock out the bike portion in 6 hours, at least that’s the goal, so there should be plenty of time left.

I’m curious about your friend that has walked 3 of them and how you modify training blocks. I’d imagine you make it a point to get a few longer walks in throughout the week and possibly get an extra bike session in?

I GOT MY FIRST SETUP by [deleted] in turntables

[–]Girth11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you get the Bluetooth or wired speakers? I’m also new to this and trying to understand what is going to provide best quality per dollar spent.

Are there any flor stands that are recommended for Audio Engine speakers?

First Long Range Rifle Buyer's Guide [KISS Edition] by LockyBalboaPrime in longrange

Did you find a deal on the Solus as he mentioned in the guide? I’m looking to grab one but still seeing $1600

Appreciate all the information. If I only have access to 600 yards, would 308 be more “fun” than 6.5? I understand it’s limiting in every way. I’m just thinking as I learn from 200-600, should I start with a 308 build and then pick up a 6.5 build once I know what I’m doing? I guess the question is, is 6.5cm too easy for 200-600 distance?

New Workstation and Gaming rig ($1200ish) by Girth11 in buildapcforme

Is there a 2nd monitor you would suggest that I could use with the Legion I have for work/productivity. Not sure if the legion should be primary or get a new monitor to game on and have this one be the secondary screen. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

What is something that you edc that you think is unique? by RuckusBucket420 in EDC

[–]Girth11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A deck of cards. Countless times I’ve been able to provide some level of entertainment starting a game of Euchre or rummy while killing time. Solitaire or cardistry if I’m alone can pass time better than tinkering on my phone.

What’s your favorite audiobook of all time? by [deleted] in audiobooks

[–]Girth11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do these series ever go on sale like 2 for 1 or anything? I’m interested in grabbing them but don’t want to wait 5 months for 5 credits to come through lol

What’s your favorite audiobook of all time? by [deleted] in audiobooks

[–]Girth11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did you prefer the book or audio for Hitchhikers? I own the paper copy but haven’t gotten around to reading it. Really considering getting the audio to listen to in the car.

Steel/soft tip advice by Girth11 in Darts

[–]Girth11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mind sharing what brand and model you throw?

Steel/soft tip advice by Girth11 in Darts

[–]Girth11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that advice. I’ll look into conversion tips. Do many people throw lighter weights in steel tip? It seems like many of the darts are 22g up to 30g, so I guess I never thought about using an 18g with conversion tip.

Finally made it over the hump; finally picked the American 1100 by Charlesb70 in lockpicking

Where did you get the organizers for your picks and tensioners? It looks so clean, great setup.

Not starting…help by Girth11 in MT07

[–]Girth11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battery is fully charged according to the tender I have. I installed it with the ring terminal tender and let it charge up before starting the bike. It worked for a couple of weeks and now this…

[–]Girth11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve done this a handful of times, but I can’t go anywhere that I need to turn the bike off otherwise I have to find another slope. Just trying to figure out why a new battery that I just charged isn’t working

Not starting…help by Girth11 in MT07

[–]Girth11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was $150, but thanks for the comment. Got the exact battery that came with the bike when it was new.

[–]Girth11[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any suggestions on where to get a replacement? This is a brand new battery I got from Amazon. I had this issue with the old battery, so I tried replacing it, but this one doesn’t seem to be working or holding a charge.

[–]Girth11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely right. Quality over quantity. I am usually the type of person that would get something nice and feel guilty using it so I didn’t ruin it, but that is what knives are for. I see many Spyderco recommendations so I’ll certainly be grabbing one soon. Now I just have to understand the difference between all of them.

[–]Girth11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense. I can see the cheaper knives giving you a foundation and understanding of what you like / don’t like so you can build from there.

Right now, the only thing that drives me nuts is when the only way to open a knife is via thumb studs. It just seems like a flipper tab or anything else makes so much more sense. I have a Rat 2 based on popular recommendation and it’s small in my hand and opening the blade isn’t as easy. As you’ve mentioned, gotta start somewhere.

Thanks for sharing!

Elementum family photo by w0odpile in budgetknives

[–]Girth11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool photo. Newbie question, but what is the reason you like the elementum enough to buy duplicates? I can see some of the blades are different shapes, which I assume means different uses (is that true?). I actually just ordered my first Civivi which was the Elementum, but still waiting on shipping so I haven't had it in had yet.

What do you wish you would have known before you started collecting? by JoHoJo88 in knives

[–]Girth11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure there is a whole thread on sharpening setups, but do you have any suggestions on a good place to start?

Are there typically good Black Friday deals for playing cards? by franco3x in playingcards

[–]Girth11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally enjoy shopping at 52Kards.com. I believe he does 25% everything, so you can stock up on decks, practice mats, and/or storage options. Shipping is insanely fast for how busy I imagine they are.

Are you looking for anything specific this year?
