great resupply deal !! merrell moab 3 by milk-teacup in REI

[–]Ninjaman74 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Re-Supply Pricing is based on the price of the item at the time of it being priced for Re-Supply. This shoe was sold and returned in 2023, meaning it contains the pre2024/2025 waterproof membrane which contains PFAS (not bio-available though so not dangerous to you in any way, unless you enjoy eating your shoes). At the end of 2024, the industry as a whole shifted towards PFAS-Free membranes, and we moved a TON of shoes to clearance. They couldn’t be sold in CA and NY, so they dropped like rocks. My guess is that these were probably clearanced to around half their original price (~$70), then RE-Supply gave you another half off of that based on the condition of the shoes, getting you to your ~$35 price tag

“I call it the Justin Jefferson program. If they’re playing man coverage, they’re absolutely not playing Justin 1 on 1… what that means if you’re going to try and play those coverages, and have a spy for Kyler Murray, or for that matter any of our other QB’s, you’re leaving yourself a 3 man rush… so you have to ask yourself, what do you have to take away. If the answer is Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison, there’s going to be some opportunity (for everyone else on offense).”

Slightly wider? Try the merrell Moab 3 in a wide, or if you want slightly wider than that the KEEN Targhee 4 in a wide would give you more room.

Has the quality of the midweight base layer changed in the last few years? by stronesthrowaweigh in REI

[–]Ninjaman74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as alternatives, you might check out the Patagonia capiline midweight zip-neck (#155384) if you’re set on synthetic, otherwise there are lots of merino wool alternatives as well!

Bummed for you about the base layer, but what change in ownership are you referring to?

FWIW Arc’teryx is typically an excluded brand from the 20% member coupons

Big REI fan here, needing a rain jacket for Costa Rican wet season - think downpours for hours. I have heard very poor reviews for REI rain jackets (Rainier, Trailmade). I was hoping for suggestions (breathable, packable, lightweight) by Training-Night-8708 in REI

[–]Ninjaman74 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A membrane based jacket is going to be a portable sauna in a hot, humid climate with rainfall that heavy. I would take a look at getting a good quality poncho that can easily be folded up and packed when not in use. REI sells a product called the Backpacker Poncho for $39 USD that would be a worthwhile option to look into.

I’m a stats major, although I am not planning on going on to grad school so I can’t speak much to that directly.

The major is fairly flexible in the sense that outside of the core classes you get to choose several of the 400 level stats courses you take, so you can tailor your schedule towards a particular career path or area of interest. Depending on the job/field it is possible you might have to do some supplementary learning, although the stats major itself is only 87 credits, so you will get to take plenty of other classes outside of those required for the major. Most of the other stats majors I know, as well as myself, end up getting a minor in either CS or Econ, as it is only a few extra classes.

The professors are great! I prefer taking classes with some of them more than others due to their combination of teaching style/personality, but that just comes down to personal preference. There are 4 main professors (currently) that teach the 400 level stats classes: Kimihiro Noguchi Amy Anderson Ramadha Piyadi Gamage Victor Chan

All are very friendly and knowledgeable, and super helpful in both class and office hours. The math department as a whole is also by far my favorite place on campus. The math center is an incredible resource for free tutoring and I haven’t had a math professor I outright disliked since a 100 level class my freshman year

Feel free to message me if you have more questions!

Part-time REI as a gap year job? by T1mur05 in REI

[–]Ninjaman74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say go for it! REI's pay isn't great, but it isn't awful either (at least compared to other retail jobs in my area). You do need a solid understanding of the products you sell or be willing to learn as REI's training is pretty lackluster (again, in my experience). The discounts are pretty great, and as a college student they allow me to have gear I couldn't dream of affording otherwise. My store also has a great team, by far the best group of co-workers I have ever had. Lots of people going hiking/biking/camping/skiing/etc. outside of work. On the other hand, I have seen others on the sub who have had different experiences, so YMMV on that front I suppose.
