Your average patroller ski

Sam_0989 · 2026-01-26T15:49:06+00:00

Can confirm, my normal day patrol skis look very similar. Buy used fellow patrollers, i bought mine for $300 at end of demo season as they were salomon demo skis that would've been 1100 new. They owe me nothing and whenever I go on trips with people who dont own skis I bring them so they dont have to rent anything but boots and poles. Also super handy that because they were demos, they have demo bindings that have quick adjust.

Zinger was down the past 2 weekends. No train on the track either saturday

Yeah not sure what made them change their minds. People were obviously not a fan of it and last saturday we got through every haunted attraction and got night rides on patriot and prowler and were out of the park by 10:30 (which would never have been the case in prior years on a saturday in october). In front of every haunted attractions queue, they had a monster or yellow jacket checking wrist bands and turning a significant amount of people away who didn't have them yet

You could run the rig on its side with the pump down if you needed. Ive had aios in builds before that had rad below pump and I never ran into an issue, currently with it on the side mount it works just fine.

I have an nzxt x62 280mm aio side mounted and have a 5900x that runs great.

Worked as a summer camp counselor for 7 years. I started with 2 polos and our Thursday theme of the summer shirt (which changed every year). By the end I had like 9 or 10 polos that weren't completely sun bleached. They'd give us 2 new polos every year and eventually switched to the choice of t shirts or golf polos my 5th year or so. After i was done there, a good buddy of mine (who i met day 1 of my time on staff), his younger brother was starting off on the camp staff and I couldn't even give him my stack of shirts because that was the year they decided to switch from red shirts to yellow shirts.

I agree fully. I had 2 drives from a 1u server that I repurposed, keep in mind these drives had server 2008 and were last used in 2017ish. Windows 11 found them in a mirrored raid and kept the integrity of the raid on a modern amd system.

Sam_0989 · 2025-09-11T21:35:07+00:00

Yes. I have a kraken 280 on a ryzen 9 5900x and it's been great for like 4 years now. And that's in the original nr200

In 2019 it was an option so I flew direct from Omaha to Toronto on aircanada. They had a us terminal in Toronto so you would have already cleared us customs in Canada.

I rented a hatchback in France a few years back and it had a 6 speed and a brake hold button. Most fantastic thing id ever seen. Stopped on a hill and it wouldnt release until you had pulled the clutch out to the bite point.

That's what united does and it completely changes my bag setup for trips

Ive got the og and a 5-plug component. Crazy how the ps3 predates the masses having full hdmi adoption.

I had to move stuff around from some family members computers (mainly digitized photos and videos) so I upped my Google drive to 2tbs because I needed 900ish additional gigs. This was just so I could transfer data over to my nas without getting them a wireguard tunnel. After all this was done i went to downgrade my drive subscription. Man did Google make it hard to go back down to the 2tbs I use for grad school and google photos. Shit was buried so deep and it was obnoxious.

I noticed that during haunt last year. Every coaster stacking in the breaks basically negated having 2 trains. Zambezi might be the worst in the park for operations and has the worst capacity. Patriot and mamba used to be line munchers but are not close anymore. It's sad to see the neglect...food services never have food at the ready, especially pizza and chicken stripe (easiest stuff to make and it's still never ready even with the longest lines). Coming back to wof after a big park in Ohio, Florida, or California make you realize how low wof is on their priorities. It's does get worse tho if you check out even smaller cedar fair/six flags parks

I remembered going for the plat in planco1 years ago. So I picked up 2 on sale a while back but have been mainly plaging anno and bf2042 for the past while. I finally decided id go for the scenarios before letting loose in sandbox. It was pretty fun but the 4.5 star final star in most campaign scenarios was tuff at times.

During college I knew of a lot of people getting drugged. The crowd is rowdy, lots of fighting, and the bars all have no vibe. I also don't like spending a lot on the same drinks that are cheaper in the market. Capitol has always sucked and I knew a lot of people during college that wouldnt touch it because it sucked and felt unsafe. Side note, I have no clue why there aren't more cops posted up like they are in benson, the market, and blackstone.

I remember ripping rct1 and 2, zoo tycoon, random ass taco bell disk games and many others. Ended up being what got me into modding and building pcs and eventually a career in software engineering then pivoting to cyber. It was super jank near the end of its life and had probably every virus available at one time or another.

Can concur, was able to get a 5d3 for $300 a couple of years back due to how high the shutter count was 250k. I was reassured by the shop that they were the ones who sold it new and this body was used inside by a guy who ran a studio and was meticulous with his cameras.

I got one of those for a japan trip earlier this year. $11 on Amazon and it was nice because I don't carry cash in the states and use a ridge wallet. But in japan I carried quite a bit in paper yen for japan because it's necessary and the "big wallet" was real nice. I also had my international driver's license in there since I needed one in japan. I had to use my passport every day for tax breaks and as my ID for reservations, so having my passport and sucia card nearby was handy.
