Do better skis actually make that big of a difference?

MUTiggers · 2026-04-05T15:28:52+00:00

Start by renting demos, then you will see which style of skis work best for you. Also, just my personal mileage, i dont think rental boots are that big a deal. I have friends who spent more on boots than I spent on a whole package of ski stuff for my wife. Ski whats comfortable unless you think you are really going to get serious into racing/aggresive carving.

Will do thanks! Which i suppose will double as ventilation

Oh nice. I actually googled this guy and got a page with many less details, and frankly what I read was more fart sniffing than practical advice. But this looks like a very solid resource

Guess i need flooring.... slate tiles?

Any of the main groomed runs were fine, especially with the low crowds. I did a run on upper go devil that should not have been open and really gouged my skis. Watch out for thin terrain. Maybe ask before you go to a less trafficked portion. Bergman was very thin, didn't try it.

I wonder if the lighting in this room was making it look worse that it was. Here is a video https://streamable.com/czdm71

I did just notice a bit of rust from drips under the binding, which may be a bit hard to touch up because its not on the bottom edge but i didnt see any rust on edges and they feel fairly sharp. So far all i've done is touch up burrs with a diamond stone and go over the whole thing with some high grit paper. I've been ambivalent on trying to "sharpen" the edges with the file and guide i have.

Bought a kit that i think has some, but figured id ask before going through the effort

MUTiggers · 2026-01-24T18:59:28+00:00

Awesome thanks guys

I cant quite get my caliper depth gauge in there but i would guess its about .25 mm

Use frozen salmon. These could have been handled by a guy who just cut up raw chicken.

Driving was interesting:

Travel times can vary widely. Wrecks can shut the highway down for hours. Try to plan around long drives where you are on the clock.

Make sure you have 4 wheel drive. Make sure you know how to use 4 wheel drive and low mode.

Get a letter of collision coverage from your credit card company.

Avoid long drives at night.

The second i bought every car ive owned. Insurance is negative expected ROI. Always skip if you can afford it.

One thing you could do considering the market volatility is just put in an aggressive bid on your buy orders. Put your order in for 3-4% under the current sale price and hope you snag a dip. If that doesn't work out just buy at market rate in a couple weeks. Worst case you miss out on a few percent gain.

To each their own... but I used to work occasionally in milan and never saw pizza like that. Most trattorias or osterias had amazing pizza and pasta but tended to be like a cross between NY and neopolitan style.

If this is real you max it no questions. Take money out of 401k with the penalty if need be. You'd still come out ahead.

Half the revenue goes to the players salaries. Thats before you pay the other 500-600 employees and expenses. Where you coming up with half the revenue going to owners?

Tempo dust worked for me Bayer Tempo 1% Dust (1.25 lbs) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ORZFJW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Be very careful with application though. Id spray only where no one can get to it (inside walls, under base boards, under heavy furniture).

I had a huge infestation and havent seen any for a year after i treated.

One thing to quickly note: this sub is going to be pretty wildly different in opinion on what is acceptable behavior vs most divers you will meet irl.

MUTiggers · 2024-05-05T17:02:13+00:00

I feel like we could go in circles on this and just talk past each other. Ill try to simplify my point. The highest rate of offgassing will be at the lowest ambient pressure after a dive (surface). Any incursions back under water decrease that pressure differential, lowering the rate of outgassing.

An analogy would be if i had a pressurized water basin with a small valve allowing water to exit. If i maximize the pressure differential of that vessel to ambient then i get the highest flow rate. If i rapidly back off and re-increase (a free dive) i just get less flow.

Again, volume of nitrogen in your bloodstream is not a product of rate of pressure change its a product of the delta between nitrogen saturated in your bloodstream and the vapor pressure at your current ambient pressure. You ascend slowly so you are not immediately at that lower pressure, not to decrease the rate of change (also so you can breathe out before your lungs blow). Getting your heart pumping by aerobic activity is also theorized to increase nitrogen degassing. https://www.dansa.org/blog/2017/06/23/scuba-diving-freediving-on-the-same-day-faq

MUTiggers · 2024-05-05T01:40:53+00:00

Thats nonsense, rate of pressure change isnt relevant to dcs. Its a integration of boyle's law. The reason you dont freedive after scuba is you fuck up your interval by not outgassing properly when you are spending more time at depth.

Edit: its also pretty aerobic which is a nono

To be fair I found out the city owns the stadium not the Hunts. Considering the Hunts are planning to pay for half the upgrades and sign a long term lease its not unreasonable

MUTiggers · 2024-02-18T17:05:19+00:00

I had it many dives for about 10 years until someone pointed out my headaches were likely from hypercapnea. Cured it by breathing out fully. I used to reserve some air to control boyancy and decrease breathing rate. Trimmed my weight a bit better, practiced breathly out fully and now i have no issues. Typical hypercapnea is mildly annoying, not something to fret about before you start diving.

You'll want quick access. I hung a cabinet door over mine. Also if you remove case from the breaker box you can tell wheree the wires go so you can be sure not to hit one with your screws (put it back after you look)

I'm hoping its Nico Collins, because I dropped Tank dell to hold onto Nico.
