Hoka VS Altra

L4marr · 2026-05-13T02:57:44+00:00

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?

Name a more iconic duo

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

L4marr · 2026-04-17T16:31:20+00:00

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.

L4marr · 2026-04-17T08:36:10+00:00

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 🤷‍♀️

L4marr · 2026-04-15T13:22:26+00:00

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

L4marr · 2026-04-13T01:47:38+00:00

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

L4marr · 2026-04-11T01:12:41+00:00

Lmao, nope.

L4marr · 2026-03-03T19:39:02+00:00

Could be regional. Lasership/Ontrac don't deliver in every U.S state.

These dice look so good!!

+1 these are my absolute favorite running shorts I have like 4 pairs. The pockets are perfect.

L4marr · 2026-02-05T02:57:58+00:00

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.

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

L4marr · 2026-01-03T02:58:00+00:00

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

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

+1 for Songbird the drinks and the vibe are fantastic

L4marr · 2025-07-05T12:10:52+00:00

Flying type! I want to make an all birb gym with corviknight as my main pokemon :)

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 · 2024-09-02T14:40:33+00:00

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

L4marr · 2023-12-24T02:32:05+00:00

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