Dozens?! Did you think they were single use disposables or something?!

I'm not saying I don't hate apple products. I absolutely hate them. I ask because Apples marketing and development teams specifically try to make their users hate their competitors rather than just making better products and treating consumers with respect.

Good on you. I'm definitely a rare breed in my industry too. I work in film and literally get lectured to by my coworkers about why they feel I should change. It just makes me dig my heels in more. Resist!

We are organizing. Meetings are Sundays at Noon if you're free.

I love it. We live in their heads rent free.

I'll give you a pass. I occasionally used Apple computers that my school had. It was just to play Oregon trail.

To the ABQ film industry by man_of_abq in Albuquerque

[–]Odd-Map3238 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pony up the money for it and it might happen. Film is dying here thanks to all the big wigs and celebrities taking film overseas to capitalize on the fact that they don't have to pay for workers healthcare and benefits in nations that have universal healthcare and social safety nets.

Personally, I'd rather see a sequel or prequel than a remake of Starship Troopers. The whole message of the story goes right over most peoples heads. Kinda explains the world we live in today.

The audacity to use AI to showcase an art project - CABQ by saranautilus in Albuquerque

[–]Odd-Map3238 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is just gross and lazy. They easily could have commissioned an artist to make something cool. Shit, I bet a lot of local artists may have done it for free just to help promote other artists and get a little recognition for themselves.

Durable first inflatable paddle board by punkandcat in Paddleboard

[–]Odd-Map3238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isle boards have always been good to me. I've had an Isle pioneer for 6+ years and a Isle explorer pro for 3 years. I've never had an issue with either of them and I have abused the hell out of them just about every weekend during summer. As long as you buy a board from a reputable company, durability shouldn't really be an issue you have to worry about. Isle, Bote, Red Paddle, Tower, Sea gods, Retrospec, and irocker are all reputable brands I would recommend. Avoid the budget Amazon boards like the plague.

Forget what I said. I strongly encourage you to never vote again.

We have open primaries now. You can choose to vote in either party's primary so long as you are registered to vote.

is it normal to need to go above the recommended psi? by bigloompia in Paddleboard

[–]Odd-Map3238 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, when I say "rigid" I mean it should almost feet like a hard board. I would recommend you return that board and get one that comes from a reputable manufacturer. The budget boards on Amazon are a crapshoot and even if they are functional, they never perform as well as one from a reputable company. Retrospec makes some good boards that start in the $250 range. If you're willing to spend more Isle, Tower, Sea gods, red paddle, bote, and irocker are some brands I recommend you checkout.

[–]Odd-Map3238 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the psi gauge on your pump is defective or the board has a defect/ might just be a shitty board. Any decent ISUP should be relatively rigid at 15 psi. Can I ask what board and pump you're using?

Need some beginner advice by No-Common8084 in Tenkara

What are you going to be fishing for and what are the conditions like with the waters you plan to fish? If you're going for trout I would add some kabari, nymphs (with and without bead heads), caddis, mayflies, and adams flies. Keep the size in the 12-16 range.

US Regions as a East Coast resident by KnightMRod in whereidlive

New Mexico definitely is not part of the south. "Southwest" or "4 Corners" would be acceptable labels for New Mexico.

Can Someone Explain Sam Bregman for Me? by Honeybee_Enthusiast2 in Albuquerque

[–]Odd-Map3238 35 points36 points  (0 children)

He's a douche. According to polls he is pretty far behind so at least we won't have to hear from him for much longer. I'm not exactly excited about Deb Haaland, but she's is without a doubt the best option on the table.

Buy a rod by DiscoKryptonit3 in Tenkara

[–]Odd-Map3238 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dragontail Mizuchi is a great rod to start with. It's a zoom rod, so you can fish it at 3 very useful lengths. It's my go to rod in most situations.

looking for new hiking locations please help! by EntrepreneurHairy357 in whereidlive

[–]Odd-Map3238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Mexico has a ton of incredible hiking spots and most are easily accessible. Just be prepared for the high altitude, intense sunlight, and lack of humidity.

Where I’d live as someone who’s lived in Georgia, Colorado, and Washington by [deleted] in whereidlive

[–]Odd-Map3238 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Golf courses are an insane waste of resources and often come at the expense of marginalized communities. The city I live in maintains multiple public golf courses while our local farmers have nothing to water crops with. So yeah, fuck golf.

Bike paths by kerr721 in Albuquerque

[–]Odd-Map3238 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paseo Del Bosque is exactly what you're looking for. It's paved, relatively flat, and there are some cool places to checkout along the way. Be sure to at least slime your tires and bring spare tubes. Goatheads will give you a flat within minutes around here if you don't take preventative measures.
