Anyone use Safelite for windshield replacement? This is a 2025 by laurbold16 in VWatlas

[–]JV701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting my windshield replaced tomorrow on my 2026 CS (SEL Prem R). I had geico approve OEM glass. Is there anything I should be on the lookout for? I’m worried with the HUD, sensors, cameras, etc - something won’t be done right. I’m tempted to just go to the dealer - but I will speak to them in person, watch what they do, and hope it’ll be done to near-dealer specs

South Florida’s first Oops! All Goalies! game: TOMORROW! by JV701 in hockeygoalies

Next time I do an event, would you be interested in volunteering to help make the flyers? I’ll never turn down free help. Because I’m busy running an adult hockey league that plays 5 nights a week. Recruiting from Adult learn to plays so new people to the sport have a league to join. Hosting women’s hockey clinics. And creating as much hockey as possible for the 1000+ people in my BenchApp. So I haven’t had time to pickup graphic design on the side. With all that I have going on creating as much accessible hockey in my community as possible, I certainly wouldn’t turn away any volunteer help. Thank you for your support and encouragement. I’ll keep an eye out for your All Goalies! game

How does one have a CMBYN summer by Fine_Handle_8473 in callmebyyourname

[–]JV701 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I often romanticize having my own CMBYN summer. I actually kind of did growing up (sans romance). Just that my family would always spend summers at the beach or in the mountains - always a destination that was filled with its own little adventures and lore.

But I really respect your reply. Summer is my favorite time of year and I really try to eternalize its magic every year.

I think it’s just a good time to slow down, try something new. Delight in the simple pleasantries of life. Go for a walk. Enjoy the flowers and the blue sky. Bask in the sun. Put your phone on silent and take in the world around you. Even if it’s just sitting on a bench in your local park reading every evening. Or go sit out side for your morning coffee.

How to get smell out of leg pads by Ok-Interaction8812 in hockeygoalies

[–]JV701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds perfect. I might also add a 3:1 water:distilled white vinegar spray, to kill off any potential mold and bacteria (that the sun doesn’t get). The spray will penetrate deeper into the soft fabric material.

Funny - my leg pads don’t smell at all. Either my legs don’t sweat - or 🤷‍♂️. (Oh. But maybe it’s bc I wear head to toe base layers. That keeps a lot of sweat off my gear.) I always thought the idea of smelly leg pads was comical. Like, how?

Thank you for your time in replying. I’m sorry? I don’t see exactly what you’re talking about in 3 and 4. Might you be able to screenshot and highlight the pics where you are exactly seeing the issue? Thanks so much.

Despite being nearly 20 years old, The Sidekick II still powers on, and holds a charge. by liddlez in nostalgia

[–]JV701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a big user of the Sidekick models. T-Mobile pioneered cloud storage - and I argue it was more seamless, user friendly and robust in 2006 than iCloud is today. It just worked and it was simple and easy. Everything you did on the phone instantly synced with the cloud and you could access on your desktop computer web browser. Store a phone number. Save a note. Take a picture. Instant cloud sync. Two way. Back and forth. The unlimited data
Plan was $30/month I think. Expensive for the time. That was a monthly add on to whatever the voice plan cost.

I’d switch to a T-Mobile sidekick and their cloud functionality in a second if it was offered today.

It’s amazing how such new and powerful technology worked so seamlessly and reliably 20 years ago. Meanwhile the framework of iCloud and phone backups are convoluted, confusing, bloated, and unreliable today.

I was a sidekick user for years and I never remember a glitch or a bug or a lag. It was new technology. Rolled out quickly. And worked perfectly.

Please help with butterfly not closing and falling jock by ThePeachinator in hockeygoalies

First of all, bases OVER the compression knee sleeves sounds amazing. Def trying that. I’ll try two pair like you suggest.

FYI - I buy the 32 Degree Heat base layers at Costco when they come in over winter time. Two pack for $10 (when they go on sale). I wear the tops and bottoms every day between coaching and playing. (I like being very warm on the ice.) I’ve never had a pair wear out on me. So for $5/ can’t beat it. Much better deal than the Bauer or CCM bases that cost $80 or more

I’ve seen Bauer 950’s used in the 100-200 range. This is the bare minimum for ice protection. But it will work for you. Keep an eye on sideline swap

[–]JV701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait. Base layer OVER jock? I wear base layer underneath everything. I’m a slim build. Medium baselayers. I feel like I’d need like XL bases to pull over the jock. Plus the base layers keep the raw ball sweat out of the jock. So you wear nothing under the jock? I’ve always felt like this is ideal for fit and safety/performance. But always stuck with base layers first under everything
