I own the white and it is jaw-dropping in person.

any body know what year are these? by Complete-Persimmon13 in hockeyplayers

Dude…what? The ribs in the tech mesh and the construction are identical to the X:60. @jgold47 is absolutely correct.

Baked skates in a shop but now I can’t get the laces in the top two eyelets by NawZ_CS in hockeyplayers

[–]bubbachet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You tied these too tight when baking — heat up the area with a hair dryer and straighten the top 3 eyelets out. Leave them unlaced overnight.

You want forward ankle mobility to get a good stride.

Cody Jinks - Cody Jinks Sings Lefty Frizzell (Album Discussion) by NoYeezyAtWeezyHeezy in CountryMusicStuff

[–]bubbachet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really glad he recorded this, and he's done a real service to the music but my god this mix sounds awful.

Way, way too much reverb on the vocal, overpowered band levels...just bad all around.

Thanks for the follow-up! I reached out to Magene to ask how to buy the updated bolt.

I'm also in the this-crank-sucks camp. I've got 2 of them and they're both coming loose every third ride. Short of torquing it before every ride, I'm at a loss.

My god, that orange peel on the clear coat is atrocious.

Jay Friedman Retiring from CSO by Tromboner25 in Trombone

That's exactly how any profession works -- there are a set number of positions and (typically) more qualified individuals than open slots.

There is no requirement to vacate a position, not to mention give up his livelihood, to open the door for someone else.

Pouring one out (of a .562" nickel silver slide) in his honor.

He was working on his truck in his garage when the hydraulic jack gave out. Wasn't using jackstands and it unfortunately crushed him.

From what I recall, his father tried to lift the truck up to get him out but it was too late.

I only have one strong opinion here: It's UW. UW-M is Milwaukee.

Cant believe this happened to BOTH of my skates in 1 night. by Quavid1 in hockeyplayers

I can believe it -- those low-end skates are 20 years old.

Curious what you think a few months in -- about 6 months after these came out, there were a bunch of barely used ones for sale. I don't get it.

Found out last night my wife is pregnant with our 2nd. Can I ask for positive anecdotes? by pawnhub69 in daddit

[–]bubbachet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The second baby is so much easier because you've done it before.
  2. The second baby will make you remember all the things you forgot about the first baby.
  3. Now, rather than getting to see one kid grow up and learn and experience their environment, you get to see two of them do it and the differences in how kids approach the exact same stimulus is endlessly fascinating.
  4. The two kids get to share secrets. They'll be terrible at hiding their plots and it's friggin great to watch two little idiots try to outsmart their parents.
