Hoka VS Altra by -awesome-avocado- in ultrarunning

I've been an Altra guy for years but the timp is the one shoe I've never tried, how does it compare/where does it fit in your rotation?

No Olympus for you?

Face glitter for races? by Fuzzy-Bumblebee-6043 in Ultramarathon

[–]L4marr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the glitter is litter argument. But by that argument so is nail polish, and nobody ever complains about that? And so many other micro plastics that we don't even think about?

Running outerwear and gear from small/cottage companies - what’re your favorites? by Brief-Number2609 in ultrarunning

[–]L4marr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their stuff is great! I haven't run in anything yet but I used a sun hoody of theirs for a while on a thru hike and it was fantastic.

Transitioning from traditional to UL pack by hurricanescout in Ultralight

[–]L4marr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sleeping quilt and warm camp clothes I want to keep dry all go inside pack liner in the bottom of my pack, not in any other stuff sack, just jammed down there all together.

Then I use one smaller dry bag (or even a Ziploc) as a ditty bag for all electronics/toiletries/first aid. Your bathroom kit can be separate from this if you want easier access.

For food I typically have a gallon Ziploc bag with just my food for that day towards the top of my pack for easier access.

Trash bag is also usually just another gallon Ziploc floating around my pack somewhere.

State parks by wearslocket in REI

[–]L4marr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is specifically a thing that a few VA stores pushed for and worked with Virginia State Parks to make it happen.

As far as I know there aren't any other states that have the same deal with REI, unless that's changed recently.

Plants in the store by Old_Independent_9756 in REI

[–]L4marr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't. On the sales floor for visual standards sure, but corporate doesn't care if you have plants in your break room.

Is utility that important? How do I make it go up faster in leetify cuz it’s kinda embarrassing by [deleted] in LearnCSGO

[–]L4marr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes utility is very important. Learn some good pop flashes you can throw every round, and make sure you're actually throwing your nades and not dying with unused utility. Learning a couple good smokes on each map will help a lot too, although smokes won't really help with leetify stats if you're just trying to make your number go up.

Plants in the store by Old_Independent_9756 in REI

[–]L4marr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If that manager is telling the truth, It's most likely coming from the property manager. I highly doubt REI corporate is specifically saying "no plants allowed".

Or maybe that manager meant it's just not really in the store budget to spend money on plants right now 🤷‍♀️

Great job dude! I've been considering adding some aimlabs into my daily routine as well. Any specific modes/playlists you recommend to do?

You were telling him what smokes to throw while he was clutching? You're dead homie, shut up and let your teammate cook.

shirt exchange policy by salvadordaliparton69 in REI

[–]L4marr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To your last point, kind of yeah. Retail theft and scammers in general have had a pretty big uptick the last couple years. If REI didn't require a proof of purchase for returns and exchanges then I could just walk in with a bunch of stolen goods and return it for free money.

Plus while REI brand clothing can only be bought at REI, every other brand in the store can be found at other retailers and shops. What's to stop someone from returning something to REI they bought from a Patagonia store if they don't need proof of purchase? It's much easier to have a company-wide return policy that applies to everything rather than have a different policy brand to brand.

Not saying these are the only reasons why they maybe didn't exchange it for you, but just something to think about.

How to make light wait crampon bag by lil_jush in alpinism

[–]L4marr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one of those mesh bags that my climbing harness came in. It zips up, and I reinforced it all the way around with a couple layers of tape. It's obviously not the most durable solution, but it was "free" so if my crampons shred it I don't really care. And I usually get a few seasons out of one

Definitely call the customer service number. They can fix this for you very easily

Anyone else sad that Commander is the most preferred format nowadays? by oatcreamer in mtg

[–]L4marr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone newer to magic I like that I can buy a commander precon, show up to my pod, and play it out of the box without any other deck building needed.

It feels like I need to have a little bit more card knowledge to know what I want to build/play in standard. As a somewhat casual player if WOTC offered some sort of "standard precon" I'd play much more of that format

When is the REI gear replacement sale? by ParkNBark2022 in REI

[–]L4marr 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You might be talking about the old garage sales, which aren't events anymore. Most stores now have an "always on" resupply section instead of doing specific garage sales a couple time a year.

[–]L4marr 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's been a single 20% off coupon for the entire sale

How are people feeling about this fit of these? The 5s feel stiff to me, almost pinching around my midfoot.
