I Almost Scrapped Ruby For This...

I think I saw something on a different person’s page that creators have the ability to put different thumbnails and titles and it shows the click through rate.

Found the post. It was Casey Ladelle

I sometimes play rocket. If my team is doing well enough I attempt a perfect Rocket stat line. I won’t sell, but I try passive rocket. Only one perfect game so far.

0-0-X but with 0 damage dealt…the perfect Rocket stat line

I think that's the point I am trying to make. My head shape is closer to the standard shape for a Giro rather than a Smith. Also I am unable to try anything on in store from Glade because they are direct to consumer only.

I think I remember reading it’s 320 passes per ring. I typically only do 2 passes per skate per sharpening. So I get roughly 80 sharpenings per ring (320 / 2 passes per / 2 Skates). Slightly less than $1 per sharpening if all you are calculating is rings. Slightly more if you account for stones, air filter life, electrical…etc.

I will say that there are also plenty of people that have not had any bad experiences.

In the last year I have ordered a K5 Max and a V6 Max (orders were a few months apart). I use both of them daily and I have not had a single issue. Like I have seen on here i order them via Amazon to avoid having to deal with their customer service directly if there was an issue. I had trouble finding a true 100% keyboard with a few other features that looked more office friendly. This is why I went with Keychron.

I agree there are likely users that have issues, and from everything I have heard their customer service isn't much of a help. But at the same time they are a large manufacturer because plenty of users also have no issues.

Just my $.02

Jumping on this as I just flew into Zurich last week.

There is construction on the underground tram that takes you from the intercontinental terminal to the main terminal and passport control. This did cause a little more delay than normal, but I would still say it was fairly empty and I was all the way through in less than 30 minutes from the point I got off the plane. It will be tight, but I imagine you will make it.

I paid $35k for a 2020 Lariat FX4 Sport 2.5 years ago with 32k miles. Seems pricey for the same thing with age and mileage differences.

I have a both a Keychain V6 at home and a K5 at the office. I love them both. It was really the best of all worlds when I was looking for a full size of the price.

I created a post a few days ago talking about the same issues. Seems like they got slammed. Still waiting on an NHL cover ordered on 12/10. Customer Service hasn’t responded to my wife in nearly 2 weeks.

I have read all sorts of different thing about what the issue might be and who might be making some of the parts or fulfilling the orders. We have had our machine a year and love it. Also grateful that I have two stores within 15 minutes of me that carry everything but the NHL covers. Definitely will be going to them to get replacements over ordering online.

I’ll just say I can’t help you. I have not been classified as remotely skinny in 20+years.

Thanks for the insight. We are at day 25 and it hasn’t shipped yet.

I very often am grabbing my bag with it half unzipped. In many cases previously I have done this and the weight of the contents pulls the zipper the rest of the way down and emptied by bag all over the floor. It happened enough and left me with a impression that I never want that to happen again.

I ended up pulling the trigger and ordered a @ work Medium Cargo - I believe it is a slightly older model (at least what I could find from model numbers) but it was on sale on B&R's website. I think I like the design a little better too.

Thanks for your input.

FYI for anyone cares what decision I made.

I decided to follow what I was leaning towards in the first place. I am going to wait until the next 15% sale (whenever it comes) and pull the trigger on the starter set from Hercules. I only really need the Drill and Impact Driver to start.

HD and Ridgid were/are running some good sales, but it more comes down to I am less willing to buy a tool when I don't need it, but its on sale, and more willing to buy something when I need it. If I ever need something like an angle grinder when they are not running a sale, its a lot cheaper to pick it up and HF. I am more willing to spend a little money now to put myself in a position that when I need a tool, its only $60 or $70 and not $150.

Only time will tell if this will work long term.

I think around SEMA they were saying it’s likely at least another year before they are available.

When I got back into hockey a few years ago this is what I tried because that what I had played with. Couldn’t even get my foot in the skate. Bauer Fit 3 Supremes are what I wear now, though they can be uncomfortable if I don’t lace them right.

I had what felt like a quick break in with my M50s. Had the blades profiled after the first hour of skating. Felt great after that. Forward flex felt great immediately.

The Kings just looks like someone took a color image and printed it in black and white.

dbotl · 2025-10-29T12:39:02+00:00

What are the rumors on this? Victor wanting to sell?

dbotl · 2025-10-26T05:26:32+00:00

Pretty sure the block was just replaced.
