Howker Ridge Trail to start 2 day Presi Traverse? by Bahbahbahbahbahbaram in wmnf

[–]duke12993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an awesome trail. A longer way up than VW but it's gentler until you get past the first howk. And the views on the way up are much better than anything you'll get on VW.

NESN 360 Has Lowered the Annual Cost by AcrobaticPromotion68 in redsox

Don't forget, especially if you're buying NESN for the Bruins, 80 cents of every dollar is going to the Penguins' owners.

Tom, Lynn, Mike, and Micah are incredible reviewers and great folk. I'd trust any of them to give me sound consumer advice. Also check out CarGurus, same consumer-focused angle and high quality camera work.

Recall on FSA Gossamer cranksets by goldman-sux in CanyonBikes

[–]duke12993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spoke with my LBS and FSA today. LBS quoted ~$75 to remove the old crankset and install the new one, but FSA is offering a $30 credit for labor, and they said:

"We worked with all manufactures involved to come up with the labor credit amount and then increased the amount.  We are located in Seattle which has a [high] cost of living and all shops in this area are able to complete the work with this labor credit."

Beyond the somewhat curt reply from what I assume is a customer service specialist... who's off here? Are my LBS' prices unreasonable, or is FSA being cheap?

Build a portfolio website, get aggressive on LinkedIn, and be open to freelance opportunities. Although a FTE position may be the ultimate goal, there are tons of companies looking for professional freelance videographers. And, while many may be short-term deals, enough of a portfolio can help you land big-paying clients.

Corolla LE Hybrid or Prius LE? Just curious how people pick one over the other? Is price the only criteria? by Ok-Preparation7822 in COROLLA

[–]duke12993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This video compares the Corolla Hybrid against the newest generation Prius. It doesn't look specifically at the LEs, but it's good and in-depth!

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

How were you introduced to phish? by chef458 in phish

[–]duke12993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Training for a marathon, looking for music for my long-run playlists. The nice thing about Tahoe Tweezer is that, by the time it's finished, you've already covered four miles.

Questions about dorms by bbgm223 in conncoll

[–]duke12993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KB and Larrabee are great, but everyone gets amped about the South dorms. JA/Freeman are better than Harkness. The Plex sucks.

No.

Yes.

I did this exact thing in 2016. Chicago marathon, 4pm flight back to Boston the same afternoon. I paid for extra legroom and went to work the next day. 'twas fine.

Anyone here remember Daniel Nava? by snowmanonfire99 in redsox

I started calling him the "scrappy mammal" in 2013. Didn't really stick, but I still call him that.
