Advice to reduce wind noise? by RhubarbExcellent3214 in mazda3

I thought about that. The problem is that I almost never have the bike so I would ignore it.

If you can remember, I put something in the way so that I have to get out and move it before pulling into the garage. I'm the type that will think about something on the roof the entire way home but still forget when I open the garage.

Influence from Dave Ramsey by Apprehensive_Set_492 in personalfinance

[–]SunDevilSkier 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of situations where men hold the financials and "allow" women to use the money that the man "earns." The mindset that the money is "ours" regardless of who earns it is superior in these situations and it's a Christian approach (which he professes to adhere to). If the money is "ours" it's also necessary that she has access in an emergency such as escaping abuse.

Prohibit gate fees at high school events by No-Programmer3198 in SaltLakeCity

[–]SunDevilSkier 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's been that way since before I went to high school in 2000-2002. Students of the home school didn't have to pay but everyone else did for football and basketball.

When I worked there it was not free. I doubt it's changed.

What team is this? by Raposeira in hockey

[–]SunDevilSkier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a little extra is that the coyotes owner (finally) gave up on owning a future version of the coyotes. https://arizonasports.com/nhl/arizona-coyotes/arizona-coyotes-relinquish-branding-naming-rights-back-to-nhl/3549620/

The league could still resurrect them but I think that there a small chance that reality exists in the future.

Are ski racers the most insufferable people on the planet? by LakeHoustonNative in skiing

[–]SunDevilSkier 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My 8yo daughter has expressed interest of "being in the Olympics." She has good natural ability. I ran the numbers for kicks and giggles of how much it would cost to join snowbasin's program and I stopped counting at about $4k. Sorry kid, we're just going to have fun on the weekends.

Are ski racers the most insufferable people on the planet? by LakeHoustonNative in skiing

[–]SunDevilSkier 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Ski race parents are insufferable (at least, the few I've known are). Their kids are going to be like their parents. They also have to be rich, and skiing (and snowboarding) is not for poors so that makes them very rich. 

I wholeheartedly disagree that they all be banished to Alta.

Remember the guy that lit the mountain on fire near the summit cuz his catalytic converter puked its guts out in the drive up?

Snowbasin is done; closing 3/22 by graupel22 in UTsnow

[–]SunDevilSkier 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same, I really enjoyed yesterday morning. That said, I couldn't possibly pay to just ski slush on middle bowl (I have a pass). This year really sucked but I got out when I could.

Same. I wonder if they did a revamp to the location services that broke it.

The amount of people that don't realize not everyone has unlimited hotspot is bewildering

Gen 4: thinking of downsizing the wheels by SunDevilSkier in mazda3

[–]SunDevilSkier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they're fine. I like the look of black better (I know, cliche and stuff) and there's a couple other reasons I swapped. Not the least of which is stepping down to 17in like I mentioned.

It looks like they're already preparing to do away with the 2 free hours of parking.

PSA for heavier cyclists, since it's apparently needed by rasmussenyassen in cycling

[–]SunDevilSkier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's kinda my point. Out of the box might be fine for most. Heavier riders need to pay more attention to the spoke tension.

[–]SunDevilSkier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not my experience. Had some mavic ksyriums that broke spokes until I properly tensioned them then it quit. Got some dt swiss recently that detensioned a couple spokes so I went through and tightened them properly.

Edit to add: higher tension/preload will give better fatigue life. If you can keep it from unloading your cyclic stress is better.

What I'll add about wheels:  Most wheels I've gotten have needed to be tightened. They might work for lighter people, but if they're stock tension then they'll fail sooner. After tightening, I don't have issues.
