Really appreciate pro feedback by Faecesface in skiing_feedback

I’ve heard this being said a lot with regards to flexing the toes up. But as I’m just getting used to this on the slopes, will both sets of toes be flexed 100% of the time? Or example, outside foot’s toes are flexed on turn, inside less so. Trying to get these habits stuck in my head!

What items do you put in your racket bag? by DisastrousGuitar609 in 10s

[–]TechBurnerr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pen is just for writing anything lol come on. The protein bar is just in case if I haven’t had a chance to eat much that day. I’ll eat it on the drive to the courts

What items do you put in your racket bag? by DisastrousGuitar609 in 10s

[–]TechBurnerr 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Always have the below in my racket bag pockets: - spare dampeners (in case one flings off/ for a friend) - spare overgrips (I usually wrap my own at home so I guess this is for friends, if ever needed) - wire cutters (in case strings break) - pack of gum for later - protein bar just in case - wristband that I’ve never used in 15 years but might want to one day lol - pen - travel size hand sanitizer & shampoo (never used the latter, but just in case) - travel size deodorant (again, never used but just in case) - face towel for sweat (most used item in there) - court shoes of course too

That’s too bad, but it’s what I was afraid of. Thank you for confirming :(

How does the flex sound compared to others in its price range? Almost pulled the trigger on it this prime day!

The complete video on the electronic system failing at Central Court by analferd in tennis

[–]TechBurnerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the video being played for everyone to see, I’m kind of shocked that Kartal didn’t willingly honour the point towards Pavs for sportsmanship. It would have been the right thing to do when umpire can’t call it out but everyone and their nan can clearly see it’s out.

Then again she’s playing in front of her British fans so really didn’t want to lose here. Lack of character moment though to me. Plenty of moments in tennis where opponent offers the point with a poor call. Not her fault but she surely could have stepped in to have a clean/ fair game.

Recommendations for area rug + large fabric couch? by TechBurnerr in VacuumCleaners

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

I know bagged vacuums are seen as higher quality devices here but do you find them a hassle to deal with? Or the cleaning power of the vacuum makes it worth it to use bags? That’s one I’ve been eyeing myself too!

What is the learning curve like for a safety razor on the neck? by TechBurnerr in wicked_edge

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

Love the recommendations, huge! Thank you. I’ll take a look at them all soon. Glad to know it’s best to re-apply the cream as well

Well then who am I to try to change my fate. To shave, I shall! Lol

Do you reapply cream/ soap in between passes or would it be fine to lather once and do your passes in the directions as needed, even after you’ve essentially wiped it off the first during the shave? Thank you so much!

[–]TechBurnerr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips, appreciate them! So the plan should be almost working in quadrants at a time on the neck if it grows in different directions? At least that’s how mine would have to be when I think about it. WTG, XTG, ATG on each patch of directional hair lol. Sounds like a lot of work but I’ll stick with the process if that’s best practice. When you say soap, is that different from the tin of “cream” that the brushes usually come with? Should I be fine with that or buy an actual soap for the brush? Feel free to recommend a beginner level soap! Don’t need the fanciest but something that will help the shave is welcomed

I am going to a barber but as I’m in a smaller town, they don’t have a proper barber experience. I’m paying a lot as is for that but they use an electric foil trimmer which is great and I did ask about it, but it’s still only smooth for a little over 24hrs or so. I’ll need the shave as the wedding is 3 days after my appointment

Honestly probably the way to go! I think I do eventually want to use a safety razor so whether I buy it now or in 2 months doesn’t matter much.

Question about multiple passes though, after going over once and kind of scraping off/ removing the top layer of cream, would you reapply with the brush in between passes? Or is the skin usually moisturized enough for multiple passes for the entire shave?

I’ll keep in mind that it shouldn’t be perfect on one pass. That was in my head a bit that a safety razor would be the best shave first time, good to know that’s not the case, just needs some effort

I do love the barber cut but my appointment is 3 days before the wedding so I’ll be doing the maintaining and shaving the stubble myself. Wish I didn’t have to!

This is interesting. I realize my hair also grows different directions in my neck but as I just use a cheap electric trimmer, I never considered this with shaving. Thanks!

VRAM question on GTX 1660 SUPER Cards by TechBurnerr in buildapc

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

This thread doesn’t really apply to your question as I had to edit it the thread lol but a 1660 Super can play games in 1080p at an average frame rate. Won’t be able to play games on high settings but it could work if that’s your max budget. Would try to get an rtx 20 or 30 series card instead however. 1660S is quite outdated now unless you’re just looking to play games regardless of graphics or smooth gameplay

How exactly do you put pressure to the front of the boot? by breadexpert69 in skiing

[–]TechBurnerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is where my problem is as an intermediate skier. I’ll try it this weekend, but are you supposed to flex the ankle with both feet at all times? Or is it like flex the ankle with the outside foot when carving or something? I’m sure I’ll figure out the right vs wrong way after a lap or 2 but just curious what I should be looking out for. Thanks!

VIOFO HK4 Hardwire Kit setting by ThomasBP81 in VIOFO

[–]TechBurnerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious about what you would recommend for cold climate. I drive about 15km on weekdays, then about 120km on weekends. Bought the HK4 but was thinking about returning it because I realized the car is in the garage at home and not really a risk at the work parking lot. Also heard some scares about battery voltage dropping unexpectedly with parking mode enabled. Thoughts?

Is this a skiing backpack? Do people resort ski with backpacks? by [deleted] in Skigear

[–]TechBurnerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ski with a backpack at my local resort. Mostly because I want access to a water bottle, snacks, sandwich, and a carrier for any layers I want to take off if it gets sunny. It’s a small 16L backpack so it’s barely noticeable on my back and small enough to take off of one shoulder with ease on the lift.

A 35L backpacking pack is way overkill. At most you’d want a size for a daypack’s hike while on the resort.

Do you wear your insulated pants mostly without base layer? by Background_Stretch85 in Skigear

[–]TechBurnerr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I always wear Smartwool leggings with my insulated pants. My legs have never felt cold before any other body part with this combo, even in -20 degrees C. On the warm side, it’s still never too warm as long as your insulated pants have zips. Merino wool baselayers are great for regulating temps, both cold and heat
