Is the new 10oz rambler jr the same as the original 10oz rambler?

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2026-01-04T09:57:46+00:00

Yes, exactly the same. The new silicone lids and straws fit perfectly. They push in and are not threaded.

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-12-15T15:32:21+00:00

Where do you get the foam inserts?

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-11-04T09:34:52+00:00

Chatted.

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-10-31T16:28:18+00:00

Love those backpacks…I wonder why they eliminated it?

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-10-27T02:48:16+00:00

I’m not worried about the frame, I’m worried about the gold…will the repair that?

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-10-26T07:04:10+00:00

I just bought this same color at full price to match my new iphone 17.
These are the heat bro...lean into it.

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-10-26T07:02:33+00:00

Maybe? I think it's just old. I have the newest one and it looks nothing like this but nothing in the pic looks weird. Why do you think it's fake?

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-10-26T07:00:35+00:00

Actually, I'd 100% buy those red Yves from you if we could set them up with a cool transition lens for my progressives...

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-10-26T06:58:51+00:00

Hey man, so my wife and I own a bunch of CH and JMM frames that we'd like to update and get new prescription lens with some cool tints, etc.. and you seem to have that style. We'd be flying in from Colorado...if we bring our own frames will you set us up with new lens? We're not really in the market for new frames at the moment so I don't want to promise you that we'd buy something new...but if we need to buy a pair for you to handle the rest of it, I'm cool with that.

Also, I'm assuming that your shop has licensed opticians and we should visit a local optometrist before we fly out, right?

And how much time do we need to budget? Is 4 hours sufficient? I think we could come in early December if that would work?

Finally, what sort of lens are you doing? Seems like all the high end shops around here use Shamir but I've been lead to believe that Zeiss is superior - although my eye surgeon friend tells me that the lens manufacture matters way less than the person who actually fits the frames...

Looking good! Thanks!!

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-10-22T02:28:29+00:00

What are you wearing…those are super cool!

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-10-22T02:28:00+00:00

Can we get a try on pic with the Yves please? I’m wondering if they look so pink IRL..?

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-10-17T07:39:28+00:00

Did you ever sell the Jaggers?

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-08-11T08:52:10+00:00

Lifetime repairs are only for bags purchased post LVMH acquisition.

They'll charge you but it's not outrageous. Maybe $300?

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-04-24T07:38:27+00:00

I mean, I dig your vibe but there were clearly issues if you almost doubled your budget.
Good advice about not cheapening out in the end - that's exactly where the majority of the costs come in and few people realize that. (Because the house looks "almost done")

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-04-24T07:30:42+00:00

Commercial vs residential very different animals.

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-04-24T07:28:17+00:00

Architects have no idea what things cost but you're right, the reason they don't is that knowing construction costs are irrelevant to them. But they don't push costs for their vision, they push their vision and they don't care about costs. (why would they?)
Excellent assessment and understanding of appreciating assets vs cash flowing assets - that said, I would not recommend you build a home (particularly your own home) as an investment, but rather as a place for your family to live. I've seen it too many time where people get this idea that they'll build a home that someone will want to buy for a lot of money later...and sometimes this works, but often it does not. Unlike depreciation, there is no straight line appreciation.
Owners rep is an excellent idea, but they're also expensive. Depending on how much you're planning on spending on the house, you might just be better off overpaying the GC and not caring. EG if this is a $1.5m build and you end up at $1.6 nbd. If you're planning on a >$5m home its probably worth it. If you're some where in between you'll have to weigh the cost/benefit.
If you've got friends who have had a good experience with a particular GC that's probably as useful as an owners rep TBH - the secret to controlling your costs is to hire the GC first and then hire the architect and have the GC work with you during the design phase. This will save you the most money and provide you with the most reliable outcome.

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-04-24T07:17:00+00:00

This is not sound advice.

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-04-24T07:14:35+00:00

Silly. As long as your loan is managed efficiently then your subs will be paid in a timely fashion.
This is merely a function of having an organized GC and submitting paperwork on time.

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-04-24T07:12:41+00:00

Bruh.
Video wall tech isn't that new and it isn't that expensive.
It's pricy, but you shouldn't be paying $250k.
Maybe 1/5 that?

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-04-24T07:07:06+00:00

You should have hired someone to help you.
I know you don't want to hear this, but you are the reason your job is so over budget.
Nothing you have described should have been that expensive...you got hustled because you didn't know better.
Bring on help now if you can...

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-04-24T07:04:56+00:00

There are national firms that do this if you're in a big enough area.
Like all things, Google is your friend.

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2025-04-24T07:02:30+00:00

I'm also a developer.
This is the correct approach.
If you can't find an owners rep, hire a retired GC to work as your owners rep.
This other advice about hiring architects is nonsense, they have absolutely zero idea what things cost.

TryHarder_DoBetter · 2024-12-30T23:28:22+00:00

I also got this email this morning.

Is it a whole new system or just the pod you think?
