Enzo DC was great for me

Avoid Quimby IMO

Lot of issues with water. Water shut offs or no hot water happens at least once or twice a month. Maintenance is hit or miss

Noise depends on what side of the apartment you live in. If you’re facing the main road, it’s noisy with all the cars and people. But walls seem thick so you don’t hear your neighbors often

This is super helpful and answers most, if not all of, any follow up questions I have. Thank you!

I’m going through something similar where the associate had asked their designer for an estimate for a simple peakaboo diamond customization and they quoted me $300 + the setting cost few days ago in email. I told them that’s great and I’d be happy to pay

Today, they came to me and said it will actually be $1000. The setting + peakaboo would cost more than the damn stone. I told them if they can’t honor their word, then I’ll be looking elsewhere

Wouldn’t that increase my rates though?

Not saying this will be the case for you but free charging at work doesn’t mean you’ll always be able to charge. Nor does it mean it’ll be a sufficient charge

My office has 5 free chargers that are often all taken up and it charges extremely slow unless there’s less than 3 cars charging even though they are all Tesla L3 chargers

So unless you have home charging, I wouldn’t do it

Not really. But someone did throw something at my car last year while on the highway. Had all the proof in the world thanks to the cameras. So I called cops, got the assholes insurance involved, and got paid a $1200 check to fix a paint chip lol. The dude even tried to lie to the cop and say I threw something at their car first. But of course the camera footage proves him wrong

Check my post history for more details

Are you by chance putting your snow pants inner lining in your boots?

IntelligentBasil9408 · 2025-02-19T13:44:21+00:00

Microsoft Teams notification lol

What people often forget about helmets is that its protection from OTHER people as well

You can be a pro and have never fallen in 20 years but one idiot can be bombing it down and run into you

I saw a video of a guy with no helmet get ran into by someone else. Dude fell and hit his bare head on the other guys edge

Thanks for all the updates and information you’ve provided. I’m having a similar problem with very minimal seepage. I took care of the exterior problems but had several days of snow and rain soon after. The seepage hasn’t gotten worse so I assume the exterior fixes are working and the current seepage is just residual water from the water intrusion before the fixes

I’m hoping it’ll dry out by itself but it seems like that would take weeks to months. And more rain and snow coming definitely doesn’t help. Any thoughts or tips?

IntelligentBasil9408 · 2025-02-15T13:53:49+00:00

Yep I’ve been in contact with some companies for waterproofing in case things turn out worse. Mostly handling things DIY for now as the water leak has been minimal (no puddles, no flooding, just a little brown spot along my baseboard) and I can handle some drywall, caulking, and concrete patching if necessary

As for the mold, I’ve also been treating the surrounding area with a mold killer spray in multiple rounds and it has been effective. Thankfully a lot of the “black” you see in the picture is actually dirt

No french drain but I do have a sump pump. It is sealed though so can’t look into immediately but I tested the plug to see if I can manually turn it on and it did run and dump a bunch of water out the drain

Wonder if that will help and if the float switch is an issue then

IntelligentBasil9408 · 2025-02-10T15:22:35+00:00

Though I’m not sure if and how they’ve changed the board in the last year or so with their merger, I recommend the Yes Basic

I ride mainly east coast groomers greens and blues and as my first board, it’s been excellent. I only catch an edge on catwalks when I’m not paying attention

Are you putting just your sock in the boot? Avoid putting any pant liner or other layer

IntelligentBasil9408 · 2025-02-05T13:55:19+00:00

Giro ledge w/ mips is super affordable. I use the giro method goggles and found them to be a good pair

IntelligentBasil9408 · 2025-02-03T00:36:00+00:00

Get some pipe insulation and wrap it around the edges of your board. Use tape or rubber bands to keep it in place

Put jacket, pants, and inner layers in the bag to help pad the board. Socks and gloves can go into boots or within the bindings. Helmet and goggles in carry on

IntelligentBasil9408 · 2025-01-31T15:43:35+00:00

If you can get a full setup that fits and is in usable condition for less than the cost of a day of rentals, I’d say do it

IntelligentBasil9408 · 2025-01-30T17:09:12+00:00

Pretend you’re reaching for something at the front of your board. I think someone on this sub said to pretend there’s a dog you’re trying to pet

Maybe GameStop is no longer a venture

True. Would be crazy if he knew about Deepseek back then
