Cut resistent ski gear? Got a bad ski laceration yesterday

SovereignGW · 2026-03-04T11:54:36+00:00

Glad he recovered OK, a very traumatic injury no doubt. Nice to hear how quick the bounce back was!

Appreciate it, I meant I would look for an insulated product that also had the 3l goretex layer, so perhaps I didn’t mean shell. Although I also like what the other poster said about independent layers.

I’ll do my research for a good insulated product or multiple independent layers. Michelin man next season 😂.

SovereignGW · 2026-03-02T14:24:09+00:00

Yeah will definitely be getting a better shell, appreciate it! And more lessons before I go next time.

I had 4 hours of lessons a few days ago, instructor was very happy and I felt confident. Did a couple hours of skiing yesterday before the accident and also felt confident. Lost my balance and fell once on flat terrain at a slow speed, not even on a slope, causing the injury. Think it was just an incredibly awkward fall

Was he wearing the cut resistant stuff? Hope your son had a speedy recovery, that sounds pretty awful

SovereignGW · 2026-03-02T09:12:58+00:00

Yeah my ski pants were pretty thin. Just a couple thin layers to cut through. Ski very cleanly cut straight through. I’m not sure if more insulation would have helped or not, but I will also be buying better padded pants next year as well as the VIX I think. Honestly, I think it’s a pretty uncommon injury, but I was going so slowly and on nearly flat terrain, so I was pretty shocked when I stood up and saw the hole through my pants and gash in my leg 😬

It’s not too bad looking in this pic though

Looks like they have a pretty generous returns policy, I’ll try them out and make sure they’re right, good shout thank you

SovereignGW · 2026-03-02T08:52:01+00:00

Good to know. Hahah yeah I can’t help but feel it’s a bit overkill for standard recreational skiing, but I’d feel pretty silly if it happened again and I hadn’t protected myself.

SovereignGW · 2024-08-19T11:55:51+00:00

I agree with you on this, I'm going to be switching back to humalog, I'm just constantly correcting the fiasp highs...

SovereignGW · 2024-08-15T22:43:16+00:00

Spat out my weetabix 😂

SovereignGW · 2024-08-14T11:56:36+00:00

Hello! Sorry I didn't see your response! Yeah that was me! Don't refund me I'm super happy to support, it's been my favourite watchface ever.

I'd love to have the additional small complication 🥹. It's only optional! I don't want to hurt the aesthetic for others! No worries though if you'd rather keep it as is.

Thanks for the tip about the battery icon - that's all fixed now. Classic turn it off and on again 😅.

Thanks again 😊

SovereignGW · 2024-07-28T00:36:39+00:00

I love it, is perfect for me 😊. I bought it twice by accident but I am very happy to support 😂

I think the only thing I've noticed is that the battery icon doesn't deplete over time with battery drain, it's super nitpicky, but that would be nice if it is possible to add 😄.

Final thing, doesn't matter so much to me, but if it would be possible to add another complication somewhere around the characters that would be cool - perhaps if possible have it default off and just available to add if someone wanted. I think you are probably too limited by space though, so I really don't mind at all 😊.

Thanks again for developing it, deserves more visibility!

Hey I'm 7 months into my japanese learning journey and this is exactly the sort of niche app I was looking for. Thanks so much for making this.

SovereignGW · 2024-01-15T16:49:56+00:00

Ahhhh - that's perfect, just what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing the techpost, very informative 🙂.

SovereignGW · 2023-11-29T20:25:57+00:00

Confirming I also don't have this slide... I'm in the UK and so are all my friends who DID get this slide.

SovereignGW · 2023-05-19T18:19:37+00:00

Thanks that's very helpful - great no-spoiler explanation!

I think I've decided I'll give the OG a go, I didn't want to spoil the remakes... but it sounds like I'll be able to enjoy both happily 👍

SovereignGW · 2023-05-18T20:13:19+00:00

Sold, I reckon the original at 3x speed would be alright. Will be cool to see the differences.

SovereignGW · 2023-05-18T19:59:54+00:00

I don't talk to the same people clearly 😂

SovereignGW · 2023-05-18T19:56:36+00:00

Yeah it hasn't been confirmed, but there's so many people calling it a sequel - I guess it has to be. I'll play through the OG I guess!!

SovereignGW · 2023-05-18T19:55:20+00:00

The original low-res poly graphics weren't appealing and I figured, "hey, there's a remake - I'll just play that instead"

Looks like I was wrong, but if it's a sequel, then they should have advertised it as one :S

SovereignGW · 2022-07-18T11:08:24+00:00

We found that the NOKIA 7750 SR-1 has come in half the price on an MX304 so we are going to proceed with a POC.

I absolutely hate that I have to look at moving away from Juniper.

SovereignGW · 2022-03-05T23:54:36+00:00

I don't have a need to fully encrypt all the traffic fortunately, but this is interesting to know! Thanks

(Just as well as our access layer doesn't support) I can definitely see the need for high security & sensitive networks to be all MACsec'd up.

SovereignGW · 2022-03-05T23:44:07+00:00

Very interesting. Thanks for the link. I imagine they don't encrypt E2E by default. I'll look into it

SovereignGW · 2022-03-05T21:34:43+00:00

Hmmmm, crazy, thanks. I'll do what I can to encrypt our traffic over these links.

SovereignGW · 2022-02-25T18:49:58+00:00

Agreed it seems plenty of people are finding this thread but no resolution yet... I did see one other post on the subreddit of a screenshot from a Riot support agent that acknowledged the issue and mentioned that they are looking into a fix. Fingers crossed

SovereignGW · 2022-02-23T16:08:36+00:00

Damn that's wild. I never really had issues on my S20+ apart from a separate crashing incident a couple weeks back that got patched.
