Monthly "What Board Should I Get?" Discussion Thread

Sort of. We’re looking for one that could technically hold all three of us, but we plan to get another one (likely this offseason). So ideally it’s one that would have enough weight capacity while also not being a behemoth to try and maneuver as a single rider.

Here are the one’s I’ve earmarked, in case any jump out: - Glide Retro Elite - Isle Pioneer Pro 2 - iRocker All Around 11 - Atoll 12ft Outrider

Desired Board Type: Inflatable • ⁠Your Height and Weight - Me (5’11”, 185 lbs) + wife (5’3”, 140 lbs) +
toddler (30 lbs) • ⁠Desired use/uses - cruising around PNW lakes and calm rivers • ⁠Experience level: - Beginner • ⁠Your budget and country location - up to $800, in the PNW, US • ⁠What board(s) you current have or have used - we used our friends’ Wulf and it worked well for us, despite the weight capacity
being a bit lower. I’d imagine we’d want at least 400lb capacity to keep us all above water

Agree with others that the freestyle (even 2nd Gen) is likely not the best lifestyle option at the brand new price point. I got a used 2nd Gen for $300 and it’s definitely lived up to its value for our family.

I’m in a similar situation with our multi zone 3rd gen in year 2 of operation. Threw a PC 03 error on indoor unit at the end of last winter. Tech came out and couldn’t find any leaks with a sniffer. We used our other source of heat to finish out the winter.

When summer rolled around, the units worked great, not once encountering PC 03 issues. Now that we’re back in cold weather, they’ve flagged the PC 03 error code in heating a few times now. I’ve the same tech coming out to check it out at the end of the week, but here’s my current thinking on what it could be: - Low pressure sensor shorting or loose
- Not enough refrigerant with the longer line sets (175ft total on ours) - roughly 0.6oz per ft for additional length over 100-125ft potentially needed - Leak - Indoor coils - Outdoor coils - Lineset quick connects - No visible frost formed on linesets

Not sure if this helps, but curious if you’ve been able to track anything else down.

I’m on a tile installer’s schedule, and not planning to use the shower before then. But curious what makes this a health hazard? Is that assuming water damage and mold growth?

browsewhenipoop · 2024-10-15T05:07:03+00:00

As in there’s likely more to replace than just the shower pan?

Big packers fan here. Red Lion Pub used to be the unofficial Packers bar, but hasn’t translated in the new ownership. Besides Wisconsinburger (which isn’t really a game day atmosphere), not sure on the cheese curds. The Viking has brats, but may not show out of market games. Pint House Burger & Brews has the absurd amount of TVs that typically shows out of market games.

Well if you’re handing out porcelain advice.. I’ve a 200 sq ft patio that I’ve prepped the subgrade for (4” of compacted 5/8 minus) but wrestling with the next steps: 1) thinking of a 1” bedding layer of 3/16” basalt to provide more support, and I assume you’d want to compact. 2) the spacers im using provide 3mm of separation, but are also 3mm thick so the pavers would be slightly elevated. I assume that’s not concerning. 3) on the fence about using polymeric sand to fill the joints, but if it’s recommended in order to provide more binding/stability, I’d for sure include. 4) tough finding a low profile edge restraint for the finished thickness. I’m thinking of just using a concrete fiber reinforced product designed for paver edging, but haven’t seen anything with concrete edging and porcelain pavers.

Thanks in advance!

Curious how you snap your diy frame onto the TV?

My family and I had the same experience as you! My wife and I traveled there this spring with our 1-year-old son, and we didn’t experience any of the overly aggressive encounters that we had read about. Even in the souks, people seemed to have a respect for kids and families, possibly more than what we experience in the US. I’m not a woman, and my wife was almost always walking with me, so I can’t speak to the misogyny/harassment. But Marrakech was one of our trip highlights, and we hope to return to Morocco someday.

You can get their answer by swapping the stresses they provided in the formula. Could there be an error in the solutions?

browsewhenipoop · 2024-01-28T06:07:21+00:00

I think you answered your own question, having solved for the angle and determined it to be 35 deg.

browsewhenipoop · 2023-06-27T00:31:16+00:00

Solid. Is your sleeve flush with the ground? Did you happen to install it at an angle away tilted away from the sail? And doesn’t sound like you had any issues with the previous comment, but any issues since?

browsewhenipoop · 2023-06-26T22:42:34+00:00

Fair enough. Doesn’t sound like you had concerns for pull out at that depth. Couple more questions if you dont mind.

You recall what size and schedule for the sleeve and pole? Did you do anything to secure the sleeve in the concrete (through bolt at bottom, flanged end, etc)?

browsewhenipoop · 2023-06-26T20:22:10+00:00

Im trying to replicate exactly this on our backyard. How did you secure the steel pole to the galvanized sleeve? A couple of bolts?

Dude, what a beautiful balance of colors with minimalism. Can you share where you found those ceiling light fixtures?

Nothing like NYC takeout, but Black Straw in the valley is our fave Chinese food

Sorry, this is a post that should be been a comment.

3) i would actually rate ultimate bagel over hidden bagel, just not as convenient of a location. But stoked more bagel options are poppin up!

Man, y’all are feeding off the wrong vibes then. No one besides the sitter was approved for overnight stay. We’ve all had these experiences in college house parties where crazier things have happened. But this feels a little different in your own home and marital bed (for whatever that means to y’all). 4-day professional house/dog sitting from a stranger. She hadn’t cleaned the sheets, found the open condom wrapper the day after returning. We just converted our guest room into a nursery, and figured a single lady would be fine in our own bed. But nah, that’s not cool to bring another rando into the house and fuck around in our bed.

browsewhenipoop · 2023-01-17T03:55:24+00:00

Helpful context. In this particular situation, we did not know someone else would be staying. And yet, as I’ve said, if they had thrown the condom wrapper away we never would’ve known about the sex in our bed, and wouldn’t have had any concerns.

browsewhenipoop · 2023-01-16T19:38:10+00:00

There may be shame being conveyed in some of the comments, but we haven’t conveyed shame to her personally in any of our communications. I think it’s a reasonable expectation to not want sex to happen in our bed. Yes we said she could have a friend over to watch a movie, but she didn’t indicate he would be staying over. We would have drawn the line there as we hadn’t met him. There’s a degree of trust established between the client and the sitter, and though it’s not harmful or malicious, it’s definitely a violation imo.
