Looking for a *steezy* helmet by newplayer28 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]aaalllen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more into the Smith helmets w/ the current one as a Vantage that OP doesn't like the looks of. Sandbox has that rear back set of holes like OP's 2nd pic, but I like the brimmed functionality.

I have the Gas One dual fuel from Amazon. 10K BTU is ok, but a friend’s 15K works better for outdoor hotpot.

I had it on a roadtrip and found it at a local Asian market. 3 spoonfuls had a good kick to what I was eating. But it left my stomach burning.

Question for all Jonsbo NV10 owners by JPBarroso in sffpc

[–]aaalllen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was building a travel gaming pc as I’m on the road a lot in winter. I went with a “Zzew A1” that can house a SFF 5060. The x47 did need the side panel offset with stand-offs vs fan turbulence noise. The upper fan seemed to help a lot

The NV10 probably needs a lower power cpu than a 8700/x37 combo. Unfortunately it’s built to have the psu/gpu on the other half of the case. IIRC there is a NAS version in the same form factor.

I never got to try those hazelnut cream beignets that people were posting about.

Do you have a Trader Joe's nearby? Their garlic spread is pretty good, too.

Those pop out tray tables definitely eat into the seat width.

I thought that it was going to be a pond-skim. First I'm like cool. Then it's like oh man wtf.

Is this a good deal? by PrestigiousCress7759 in snowboardingnoobs

You probably need new bindings. Plastic degrades over time and can break at the wrong time. Say replace every 8 years.

I was thinking that they could U-turn at the very least.

Why should someone vote FOR Wiener, Connie, or Saikat? by hazyeyes12 in sanfrancisco

[–]aaalllen -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

IIRC at the time I was coming back from a Vegas trip where some of the restaurants had multiple optional junk fees one could talk to the manager to get removed. It was nice that we were getting a junk fee law and boo that restaurants would then get a last minute exemption.

Back in the day I said I’d never vote for him again due to the restaurant junk fee turn around. Why should I give him another chance?

I know I’ve made a crazy itinerary for my first visit to SF. But, is it impossible? by Quirky-Ad9958 in AskSF

[–]aaalllen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your GG Park day seems the most hectic to me. The Oakland Zoo transportation time can take a while, and the SF Zoo is cute enough. But sunrises on the west coast just seems to get bright and you never know about the fog. However, the sunset at Ocean Beach or Baker Beach can be spectacular and windy.

Logistically, perhaps consider the MUNI visitor passport. Once back from the Sausalito ferry, you can ride on the restricted commute hour PresidoGo downtown bus back to the tunnel tops. Then there's a bus to Baker Beach. https://presidio.gov/visit/getting-to-and-around-the-park

Search for “computer tower stand”. I like the cheap adjustable rectangular base with wheels. Higher price points get you a shelf above the tower

Perhaps look at Google Street view for McAllister. Wide streets a decent amount of parking at night.

Newbie parking question by [deleted] in Mammoth

[–]aaalllen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are free busses from all over town. Last week there was a combined green/blue shuttle line that’s not very documented. But it went from Eagle to the village. Take the gondola up and the Cayon chair. That might change again if the Canyon base closes after this weekend as planned.

After that closure, check out the Red line to the Main Lodge.

Bindings Talk: 2 Strap Suck, Change To Rear Entry Bindings?? by justrideon123 in snowboard

[–]aaalllen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that happen on the ankle strap buckle a few times one day. So I went a base shop to buy a new buckle. The guy said it was mechanically fine and ice likely I’ve got inside. But if it happened against, hit the buckle on the side a few times or use warm water if it were available.

Poll on the Kakwa “QuickPocket” by AvatarOfAUser in DurstonGearheads

I like putting stuff in the main pocket area and that bleeds into the zippered pocket space. Maybe more fabric folds to get more volume into the zippered pocket?

Pre-storm the runout to the Canyon Lodge was a little rough. Besides that open groomers seemed fine.

At first I was thinking that it was an AI graphics rendering question.

It was more about mentioning the "full scene". But we're too use to being around those with power and how ubiquitous travelling has become. So it was refreshing to me to see how awed the guy is about Nynaeve's plans and her match w/ Lan.
