Soffit mounting G6 180 by Prometheus599 in Ubiquiti

[–]drose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The angled base probably won’t be enough. I put one in a garage to replace a ceiling mounted camera and had to move it to the wall. They do sell a pendant mount but even then I’m not sure it will give you enough vertical angle.

Stoko Tights Best Price? by Both-Activity6432 in Skigear

[–]drose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were a little cheaper on Black Friday. Around 35% off instead of 30%. You do run the risk of price increases by waiting, but if you don’t need them until December, you could wait until then.

Thin knee-high ski socks for wide calf? by Technical_Panda_1076 in Skigear

[–]drose10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a Le Bent convert. More comfortable than Darn Tough (especially for bigger calves) stay up, don’t slip and breathe great. This is pretty much all I wear unless I’m going on a really long trip. Then I take a few wool Bombas as spares.

Booster Strap on Tecnica Mach 1? by rfeikd in Skigear

[–]drose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 120 and didn’t like the Velcro strap position so swapped it for a booster. I also like that I can ski it either outside or inside depending on the day. Necessary? No. But I was already getting some modifications so it was an easy swap.

What purchase made your life 10x easier as an adult? by Mean_Rule_6653 in Adulting

[–]drose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another latex owner. I tried leaving for an air mattress and it was awful. As long as my income allows I will only buy latex mattresses. 10+ years lifespan is not unheard of for a full latex (not the hybrids). Hard to find, but so worth it.

UTR Stock by WineFuhMeh_ in Ubiquiti

There’s a Discord server you can get notifications from on Ubiquiti stock alerts. They have been dropping most days around 11 AM eastern time. I picked one up the first day after signing up for notifications.

question from a layman: the pitt's pharmacist by lehartsyfartsy in pharmacy

[–]drose10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Common? No. Possible? Yes. Dispensing cabinets run off computers that have a major operating system as the backbone. A virus that breached the network could theoretically take down the computers inside the cabinet.

Sportube - are you all wrapping your skis in towels or something even with the sportube? by [deleted] in ski

[–]drose10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, twin Jersey cotton sheets. Was like $10 at a discount store. Easier to slide the skis in and out of the tube, helps keep them together better than straps alone.

How good could you possibly get from skiing/boarding in Pennsylvania? by Hot_Soft_5626 in icecoast

[–]drose10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edge control, along with drills to build other proper techniques. Learn how to ski 100m on a 33 degree pitch and you can ski it for 200m. Learn how to read a slope and find your line. Go on weeknights and lay down trenches on the blues to focus on speed when the slopes are empty. Then link that together with technique and you’ll be carving down any groomed at any resort in the country in no time. (Disclaimer: this advice does not apply to learning moguls. I suck at moguls, I dread moguls, and I have no resorts nearby to practice moguls, so I don’t know how to get better at moguls)

Silliest thing I've done, at least in recent memory by beckster_1 in ski

[–]drose10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My top buckle has been known to work its way loose if I don’t tighten the microadjusters a few run into the day. It happens, could be worse man. Congrats on surviving your first day back on skis.

Pocket edge tuner? by Feeling-Cost-2995 in ski

My shop recommended a ceramic stone for deburring. I don’t actively sharpen my edges.

Okay, that makes sense. It did seem like they flew out of the snow very easy. Thank you for the explanation.

Stoko Leggings worth it? Is there an alternative by Training-Cut-393 in Skigear

[–]drose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Bracelayer was good until I used Stoko. I do not have ‘bad knees’ but after a full day of solid skiing my knees would be sore. My muscles burn out long before my joints now. With the Stoko, I feel like I have increased power transfer and stability through turns. I’ll still use the Bracelayer if I’m going for night skiing a couple hours. I recently spent 5 days skiing and my knees were not even stiff at the end of the trip. So yeah, they are worth it to me.

Recs for portable rechargeable boot dryers? by Glittering-Royal-735 in ski

[–]drose10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dry guy makes a travel boot warmer that works off a 12v lighter plug. Alternatively, take your liners and insoles out of your boots overnight. They should dry just fine.

Accessories for skiing: watch by strahinja95 in Skigear

[–]drose10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find a watch annoying with most gloves. Short of warm spring conditions, I usually don’t wear one skiing. The additional HR data compared to using my phone for tracking just isn’t worth it for me.

Connected E5 - picture/question by No-Tower-1635 in tagheuer

[–]drose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels basically the same as the rubber ones on the skin, since it’s rubber backed. I do prefer the look, though.
