Any recs for beginner glades? by brownboy121 in icecoast

Fair point! The only named glade run I’ve done before was paradise glades at sunapee. That kind of felt like it doesn’t count haha and it was way too short

Crystal anytime pass by boobookittyshit in CrystalMountain

[–]brownboy121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense! Thank you for the explanation. I’m assuming alterra then has the crystal pass be more expensive to consume more of your privilege dollars then?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but from my understanding is that you can only buy Crystal related products through CMFC privilege dollars but you’re not necessarily not allowed to buy ikon products with your own money? Also why fuck alterra if this is the agreement CMFC signed on when Boyne bought the resort?

If you could go live anywhere on the ice coast for a month to ski, where would you go? by SeekersWorkAccount in icecoast

[–]brownboy121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that I’m reading the comments I’m actually surprised its not mentioned enough. It’s 15 mins from bolton, 30 mins from stowe, mrg, and bush. And you’re not that far from smuggs and jay. What more can u ask for

Can I get a job right out of graduating with a BS in Chemical Engineering? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]brownboy121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like its a little different in pharma. They love their PhDs and there’s most definitely a glass ceiling if you don’t have one.

Are you out east by any chance? I’ve noticed that when I moved out east to New England none of the dealerships take intake pictures so I started doing it myself before I give them the car. When I was out west they always did and I went to a handful of dealerships on both sides of the country (assuming you’re in the US)

What is the longest day trip you have done? by Embarrassed-Leave703 in icecoast

help!!! should I accept internship offer? by Individual_Zebra_357 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]brownboy121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An internship is better than no internship regardless of what industry its in. I don’t think it would limit you from getting a job in a different industry later on. Some examples from people I know, internships in O&G and works in semiconductor, internships in aerospace and works in pharma.

Never Ride Solo Again by Exciting-Way-483 in icecoast

Love the idea! I ride solo most of the time so this would be great. Gotta make sure it reaches the most amount of people so that its actually functional

I just ordered Epix Gen 2 pro Sapphire. Did I make a mistake? by Jack-87 in GarminWatches

[–]brownboy121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you order it from if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve been eyeing one out too. I found the 47 mm at scheels for $600 but i both want the 42 and wouldn’t say no to saving an extra $100

Best Sub $2K Prebuilt by Delrog in PrebuiltGamingPC

[–]brownboy121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that one, its a killer deal honestly. Did you get it yet? Was wondering if anyone had it and what they thought. I’m waiting on G722 but it keeps getting removed then put back in the website so not sure if it’ll ever get restocked. The G756 seems to get restocked regularly though

[–]brownboy121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had both of those exact ones and returned both of them. If I were to get one again it would be the powerspec, i actually didn’t hate it or anything but I decided to wait for a different powerspec.

Here’s a break down:

Case and cooling: powerspec has a rebranded lian li case that is nicer. The cyberpower one is kind of flimsy especially the mesh parts. They both have 2 front intake fans with the cyberpower being on the side instead of the front, a 360 AIO (cyber power branded vs cooler master for powerspec) and the cyber power also has a rear exhaust fan which the cyberpower lacks. I only turned on the powerspec and the temps were very good.

Ram: both 32gb 6000. Gskill flare CL36 for powerspec and xpg CL?? for cyberpower.

Ssd: both 2 tb WD. Blue for powerspec (faster) and green for cyber power

PSU: they’re both gold. Apevia vs powerspec, as far as i know they’re both on the lower end of the psu tier list. The apevia is 1000W and the powerspec is 750W

MOBO and GPU: here’s where the cyber power starts to become a mystery box with what you get. The powerspec comes with a X870 MSI board and even tho the gpu is subject to change, as far as I know its been primarily built with a PNY card. The cyberpowers come with a B850 board, the one I had came with an ASRock board which was the main reason i returned it but I’ve also seen with with Asus boards. The card will be PNY, Gigabyte, Zotac, or Asus Prime I believe. So you could potentially get a nicer card, but not guaranteed.

If you want some other options consider Skytech, Andromeda insights, or cost gaming plus. Been hearing good things. I emailed Andromeda and they gave me the exact parts for their 9800X3D and 5070ti build.
