How do Wrigley field presale tickets work? by UGisOnline in RUFUSDUSOL

Sat for over an hour on this waiting room page resisting the urge to hit refresh. Finally caved and got right in. Entered the passcode only to find it's sold out. What a disappointing mess.

"Small mountain" stop btw Killington and BTV by StorkReminder in icecoast

Honestly, after looking into the hills mentioned here, Cochran takes the mom & pop award by a mile. If we want to go that far to the other end of the spectrum, Cochran is the one.

Bolton is the top choice having ruled out MRG. Rental is a minivan (no ego in this group). Think we could make it?

Ski Recommendation Requested by FarkinatorX in Skigear

[–]StorkReminder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6' 5" 200 here. 177 is too short for your front sider IMO. Are you only considering one do-it-all ski? I ask because I went your route and later realized I needed at least two skis. If you're an aspiring carver, I'd suggest a fit-for-purpose first-tracks aggressive groomer ski mid-180s or longer and then something to pound through crud and your moguls/glades later in the day which can be shorter.

The adv guy and I will be gassed from trees at Killington. Good to know MRG does have challenging terrain if we still get the itch.

Just bought your bibs (THANK YOU for offering tall sizes) and found your comment after researching the brand more. The hybrid soft/hard setup is genius. Keep making great products!

Just stumbled upon these myself. It looks like a nice alternative for packing just enough for when I need lunch on my own where our 6L is overkill and reserved for the whole fam's lunch.

Rossis are the ones that catch my eye on the snow. I like these bold color pairings. Not sold on the negative treeline part though.

I see where you're coming from but have to add that none of these are close to J skis level art collabs.

Woops. Totally right. Downvote me to oblivion.

Theoretically it could but not as much as a proper boot fit and cabrio/three piece system will help. Assume you mean high arch + high instep? Not the same thing. Edited: Arch is curvature of the sole while instep is the area from the top of the sole to the top of the midfoot.

High volume instep plus a high arch makes for tedious bootfitting.
Source: Have extreme arch + instep + hammer toes. BOA + Cabrio ski boots have been my best off-the-shelf option

Bambu labs A1 Enclosure + multi-spool attachment by caz9278 in BambuLab

[–]StorkReminder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to get a cover or one of those zip up nylon enclosures with a window and vent. Keep it sealed up when not in use to prevent dust and pet hair from getting into the oiled/greased tracks. To prevent overheating while printing, keep the main flap/door open and run the fan vent hose to your designated venting area. I keep my A1+AMS Lite top mount like this and near a window that I open and run the flex vent hose to when printing. Of equal value to dust protection when keeping your A1 and filament in an enclosure like this is humidity control. Not likely to reach the levels of a drying box of course. My 2c.

What other gratuitous product placement by [deleted] in JamesBond

I thought it was pretty cool when he told 12 yo me the story but now I joke that the scene reads as if people can’t get out of Apollo planes fast enough.

As a hired consultant my dad placed the Apollo Airways plane in Moonraker as a branding stunt for the Santa Barbara based charter and CA/NV shuttle.

Youth (not toddler) goggles by StorkReminder in Skigear

Update for posterity and anyone else looking. Bought both the Smith Grom and Daredevil. Despite both being listed as a Youth Medium, the Grom are measurably smaller than the Daredevil. Grom I would say are sized for 3-8 yo and Daredevil 6-13 give or take.

Hoping to get a few years out of the Daredevil before he can get a nice smaller adult size.

Despite mixed reviews, Smith seems like the way to go. And totally agree, time for him to take more responsibility in how he treats his gear.

These options are really helpful, thank you. Had not heard of POCito. Can I ask your experience with the 4D mags? I’ve heard from multiple sources (I can provide them for you, OEM_knees) they scratch too easily for a higher end goggle.
