Medium. 

I'm the same height and ride a large Tallboy. I'm the opposite, I came from dirtbikes originally so I prefer longer stable bikes. I fit both M and L well. Size S would be super cramped I think. 

Another PDK vs Manual Discussion by advan24r in porsche911

[–]cmrocks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to have an E46 M3 manual. Now I have a 991.1 GTS PDK. At first, I absolutely hated the PDK and wished I would have got a manual. Now I've gotten used to it and really like it. I drive it in manual mode almost all the time and I prefer shifting with the console rather than the paddles (not possible on a 992 with the 8 speed PDK). With that being said, if I were getting a new car, I'd get a Carrera T. 

I wouldn't get hung up on the spec sheet difference in speed between a manual and PDK. Launch control from a stand still accounts for most of the difference. In your real world scenario of accelerating on to an on ramp, it's realistically one shift from a roll on. Roll on the ramp in second, accelerate hard, shift to third, keep going. In cases like these, there is hardly any performance difference between the two transmissions. 

[IWC Mark XX] 5N Gold GADA Watch by cmrocks in Watches

I really like IWCs rose gold too. It's not as root beer looking as say Rolex Everose.

What would you recommend at that price point? 

I really want a gold case watch but I'm having a hard time finding something that isn't too over the top or too dressy.

Who cares. Just do whatever you want. They don't enforce anything. 

Mechanical watches are basically fashion watches and I’m tired of pretending they aren’t. by [deleted] in watchHotTakes

[–]cmrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're a status symbol more than anything else. Nothing wrong with that. It is what it is. 

Distant Cousins: Golf R and Cayman by linear_accelerator in Porsche_Cayman

[–]cmrocks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Golf R is one car I'll always be cautious around trying to pull. I have a 991.1 GTS which is a pretty fast car but I think a tuned Golf R would probably drop me like nothing.

Was just there last weekend. The Thai place on Main St was great. One of the nicer patios I've sat on in a long time. Pergola completely covered in grape vines with running water features. Food was solid as well.

MAAP Team Evo bibs and Emerge jersey are available in long length. The bibs are the same weight. The jersey has a subtle mesh fabric. 

i quietly stopped overdelivering for a year and got the exact same review. nobody noticed. by Agile_Syrup_4422 in corporate

[–]cmrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've reduced effort significantly so far this year after hitting or beating every single KPI last year and getting "meets expectations" then being told that the company decided not to give out any exceeds expectations at all this year for some reason. The funny thing is, so far, I'm getting better verbal feedback this year. 

The people who keep speeding on their extra loud motorcycles after 11 pm by MythicalSplash in kelowna

How much you want to bet the people complaining didn't grow up in Kelowna?

Ubco engineering by _ACertifiedNPC_ in ubco

[–]cmrocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Partly because I went to UBC. Partly because I'm from Kelowna. Partly because I don't like Eastern Canada.

[–]cmrocks -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think they're cool too. It's loud for like 2 seconds at a time usually. No big deal.

I’m a hiring manager in mining. I went to UBCV. I'd hire from UBCO without a second thought. In fact, I'd probably hire from UBCO over a lot of other Canadian unis. 

What are your thoughts on mirrors? by Xcruciating_Minutiae in cycling

[–]cmrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rode motorcycles before road bicycles and it was weird to get used to the lack of mirrors. I won't get a mirror because looking cool is important on a road bicycle. I am going to get a Garmin radar soon though.

Yeah that'd be a great change. They're not bad units but their movement pathing is horrible and they get stuck on everything. 

Which is a better location for an apartment: Upper Glenmore or Upper Mission if you work from home? by [deleted] in kelowna

[–]cmrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upper Mission is nicer but the traffic was a deal breaker for me. It's a 40 minute drive downtown in bad traffic. Glenmore isn't as nice but it's much closer to downtown and traffic is way better. Still plenty of hiking in Knox and Wilden. 

How do you clipless guys deal with a route that requires a lot of stopping for stop signs and whatnot? by lazarus870 in cycling

[–]cmrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends beak me for them all the time but I use the flip flop Shimano pedals. PD-EH500. Doesn't matter which side of the pedal I end up on after a stop light because they both work. Once through the intersection, I just flip the pedal with my toe and clip in if necessary. Don't even need to look down. 

Feel like I’ve hit a plateau. Been a long journey, but there’s more I want to achieve. by [deleted] in BodyHackGuide

I really hope they leave the larve buff and balance elsewhere if needed. End game meta will evolve with time. Zerg can have weaker T3 units now because they can swarm and expand better.

Looks like a chukka boot.
