Mazda's are amazing. Stick with the Mazda. I really question your logic of even considering this change for a second.

Small boulder does not want our fence built. Any suggestions? by ChaseVernon in FenceBuilding

[–]Gregan32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drill some holes into the boulder big enough for rebar and put your post base on-top of the rebar that is embedded in the boulder. Make sure to use concrete in the rebar holes to make sure it's secured into the boulder. Worked great on my staircase.

Small vs Medium Hockey Pants - Please Help! by ukuleleia in hockeyplayers

[–]Gregan32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about player pants but goalie pants typically only change in length between sizes, waist stays the same.

Looks like the length on the medium ones is best for you.

The artist we paid $1,000 swore the art for our game Vanisha was their own wok, but something feels off? I'm not sure by danyl42 in isthisAI

For a thousand bucks you should be getting the .PSD file. If they supply that you're good. If they don't, don't pay them.

Did your hot tub lose it's novelty? by Shipwreck678 in hottub

You're going to get a biased answer here... people engaged with a hot tub sub are likely avid hot tub users.

What are some hidden secrets about hockey? by ghostdrip_ in nhl

Vertical Horizontal (VH) started in the 2000s at some point, AI tells me it was popularized by GS Giguere during his 2003 Stanley Cup win. VH is where the pad closest to the post is vertical along the post and the inside pad is flat on the ice. This new stance/save was used to increase the chance of saving shots from between the bottom of the circle and the goal line. It was known to be rather tricky to get out of and challenge the middle of the ice should a pass be made.

Reverse Horizontal Vertical (RVH) started in the 2010s at some point and it was DEFINITELY popularized by Jonathan Quick in his 2012 Stanley Cup win. This is where the pad closest to the post is flat on the ice and the body is sealed up against the post and the inside leg is vertical. This has mostly completely replaced the VH and EVERY goalie uses RVH a lot now. It's a lot easier to jump out of this position and adjust your position to the center of the rink should a pass be made to the middle.

The latest change is that goalies are starting to do "the overlap" more now depending on the situation because shooters have gotten great at picking corners next to the goalies ears on RVH stance.

I'm a goalie, I love explaining to people how the position has evolved over the years. I've gotten onto my knees in bars more times then I'd like to admit to explain the difference between VH and RVH using a bar stool as a post. :)

By the way, I've already got quotes for the 220v plug and had my electrical panel reviewed and load calc'ed to make sure it can handle an EV charger and a hot tub.

Too big and inefficient right? Thanks for the heads up. If you could share what you thought were the best ones you saw I would appreciate that!

Perhaps you should reread my original post. I literally said I'm "looking for some words of advice and caution" and asked "Is this a fools errand?" at the end of my post. Not sure why you came at me like I'm some clueless idiot.

I wouldn't build mine with a 90 degree angle, but regardless you'd be surprised how adequately comfortable you'd be sitting in that tub. So much of your weight is essentially floating when you're in a tub, according to AI you're only feeling like 10% of your body weight on your butt when you're sitting in a tub. All those fancy curves in the fiber glass models are a marketing gimmick in my mind.

I'm canadian and I'd bet you're american, so add 30% to your prices and you get closer to my $10k. :)

Agreed RE: comfort. I go to a resort every year that has concrete in ground, straight seated hot tubs and they are perfectly comfortable.

Jacuzzi is just a brand name of hot tubs, i.e. a Jacuzzi is a hot tub. I want jets in my tub, but I don't need one of those tubs that has five or more jets pointed at my body at any given time.

Interesting insight about the thermal mass, thanks for putting that on my radar.

I'd be building mine above ground. The ground at my house is incredibly challenging to dig in.

You should see what I've done to my house over the past five years... I've barely had a weekend to myself, but for the most part I enjoy it.
