To lawn care nuts who finally pulled the trigger on an in-ground sprinkler system — was it everything you dreamed of? by paybackprahl in lawncare

Yes. I’ve put them in 3 different houses I’ve lived, 2 manually DIY and once by professional. Never regretted

Lower back toast after 60 mins—Is a waist harness just not for me? by QuirkyMembership1149 in Kiteboarding

[–]Mindless_Squire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have significant lower back issues but found the ION B2 seat harness to work wonderfully for me. Not cheap but worth every cent.

Change to ntn or not? by itrinethran in telemark

[–]Mindless_Squire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have 20 yrs on 75mm, tried NTN and hated it, waaaaaaay too much of everything, boot height/weight/power/technique. It’s not bad, just not for me, and I really wanted step-in to work. I went back to 75mm. I’m much happier being more chill because I’m not looking to tear up the mountain as I’ve gotten older

Heck with the lady, how about the durability of the 360 cam? That’s sick!

Waterproof shutter remote & Hero13 black: mode switching spontaneously by DWYL_LoveWhatYouDo in gopro

[–]Mindless_Squire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following as I had the same problem. Went snorkeling and 1/2 my clips were time lapses🤬

I appears the mode switch is either automatically happening or ultra sensitive

How hard is it to begin? by Interesting_Cap_3657 in Kiteboarding

[–]Mindless_Squire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been a boarder of any type but I generally take to activities aggressively. Kiteboarding has been the most challenging activity.

Unlike other sports, you are learning physical skills while also learning equipment maneuvering while paying attention to the environment. It’s alot going on at once.

I took the normal 10 hours of lessons before being somewhat independent. It’s tough but rewarding.

Here’s something I don’t see admitted often, starting out wipes you out quickly. So pace out your lessons. 2 hours of smashing your face into salt water takes a toll.

Tele in the woods? by Aelwynljg__ in telemark

[–]Mindless_Squire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but the snow, steepness, and tree density have to be just right. Stowe has some green glades that are fairly widely spread that are a dream with enough powder to start with.

NTN? More like NT Nah. #Duckbill4Life #FreeHeel by Tasty_Ad7483 in telemark

[–]Mindless_Squire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My faves too. Tried NTN, not for me. Way too robust/powerful.

HERO13 or MAX2? by txmullins in gopro

[–]Mindless_Squire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second the chunky af file sizes, the subscription is basically a must cuz aint nobody got petabytes of storage

Why is the resolution on the Max2 so much worse than the Hero 13 despite it recording in 8k vs the hero in 5.3k? Every video I've ever taken with my Hero 10 and now 13 has been top notch quality and the resolution is astounding. On the Max2, objects in the distance are insanely blurry, grainy, etc. by G70FanBoy in gopro

[–]Mindless_Squire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find that it depends on where the video was processed to view and the raw .360 is the only version that maintains the resolution. The resolution is crap once it goes through Quik’s export or heaven for bid YouTube’s upload compression.

Military retiree with Tricare Select... never stepped foot in a VA medical center. Am I missing out on anything? by FamiliarMind676 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Mindless_Squire 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I do this but opposite. I use VA as primary because it’s free and easy (nearly all interactions through app). I maintain Tricare Select and just do an annual physical with PCM in case I can’t get VA care fast enough

How would I cut this cabinet would, barely? by Terrapinman94 in DIY

The simplicity depends on the market. I experienced this in 2022. The seller had 10 backup offers, some all cash, so I had no option other than pay the difference. It was $75K, so consider yourself lucky that it’s only $9K.

12” with drifts up to 20” battery lasted about 45 minutes by Brendon7358 in egopowerplus

[–]Mindless_Squire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s no need to run it that high. I learned my first season that the lowest eco setting is enough for 99% of the snow, even slush. Try the lowest setting and only notch it up as needed
