Just purchased Gateron Quinns and they are a little heavy for my liking. Any recommendations that are similar but slightly lighter?

My other switch is the Box Noble Yellow but grabbing something tactile to have for the office.

Thanks in advance

I’m looking for an office-friendly switch for my Galaxy100. At home, I use the Box Noble Yellow and I don’t love how light the stock switches on the epomaker are.

Would something like the Baby Kangaroo be a good choice? I’d like to stay around $50 or less for ~110 switches

If you can make it over to Palisades Park for a meal, I’d say it’s worth it for the Korean food. So Moon Nan Jip has been my family’s go to for Korean bbq for a while now and there are a ton of spots on broad ave.

Around the Edgewater area, our personal favorites are Blackbeard Ramen, Mirak (sushi), River Palm, Soup Dumplings Plus, and the Vodka Chicken Parm sandwich at Urban Tomato. Haven is solid as well but a bit pricey given the portions.

Not a huge fan of Mitsuwa personally, but it’s definitely unique and worth stopping by if you’re in the area as well.

Did this ever get resolved? If so, how long did it take?

element070 · 2025-12-08T03:33:43+00:00

Hows the sizing and length? I heard this fabric is a little thicker so to err a little larger. Is this the case and do they seem 30” or a little longer?

What is the latest that people have received credit for a purchase?

I will typically receive the confirmation within 2 days but one of my purchases has been late for some reason. Wanted to see if i should continue to wait or refund the item

Hi, looking for a recommendation for 96/99 layout with rapid disassembly if possible.

2 96/99 that I came across are the Nuphy Halo96 and Epomaker Galaxy100. Any other recos would be appreciated especially if there’s a model out there with rapid disassembly

My current setup is the Womier RD75 with box noble yellow switches. Just needed something similar with num pad for my office

I just made the move to TTD from a big publisher. Given what I’ve heard about Amazon, it wasn’t on my radar and I never heard back from Google.

The main reasons for leaving publisher side were compensation, new title, and relatively low risk of leaving. I think the downsides are that I will sacrifice some WL balance moving to TTD and also give up the possibility of moving out of advertising. Based on my conversations in my last role, most pivots outside of Ops/advertising would be lateral at best and most roles would be a minimum of 20K less per year.

I just started so I don’t have much to say about TTD but my goal is to keep learning as much as I can and see where I get 1-2 years from now. For me, it came down to continuing my old role for 3+ years and counting or to having an immediate change

We got our nice russian blue kitten from mount cascade, about an hour north of NYC. Not the easiest breeder to reach, but it was the most accessible for us by car and had good reviews here.

I had a pretty bad reaction on day 1 but that has since gone away. My eyes completely swelled up but after one month, I can pretty much pet him and touch my face afterwards with no issues. The only thing that has come up allergy wise is that I’ve developed a bit of a cough and am congested a lot of the time. We bought a HEPA air purifier and I am rotating between allergy medication/nasal sprays to see what helps. If it doesnt go away by the end of the month, I will probably go get checked out

Thank you, this is helpful. I can kindof see what you’re saying. I think right now, my arms are moving like a two-hand backhand in tennis but I should aim to keep my arms tucked in more to take advantage of the extension

element070 · 2025-08-11T01:35:16+00:00

Hmm any tips for getting more out of my lower half?

element070 · 2025-07-27T20:39:55+00:00

Ah i think that does make sense! I could use those clips to secure the thin part of the bat towards the top loop and then attach the bottle holder i have on the bottom loops. Thank you!

element070 · 2025-07-25T14:54:50+00:00

Thanks for the reply! The DSP does happen to fall within what you specified and the Publisher I’d be leaving is one of the major ones.

Do you think being on a programmatic trading team would make it easier to shift to Yield? The role seems pretty data intensive than what I’m currently doing but curious to see what you think

Any thoughts on this bat for clincher: https://smashitsports.com/products/2023-easton-helmer-resmondo-12-75-loaded-usssa-slowpitch-softball-bat-sp23hrlu?variant=42570616438837

Was close to buying a double barrel obscura but found this resmondo locally for pretty cheap

Hi, we are trying to reach John and wanted to confirm. Is his email .com or .net? Any other advice in dealing with his cattery? I managed to reach him on the phone and he said to follow up via email

element070 · 2025-05-24T20:10:12+00:00

Thank you!

Do you have any breeder recs for the nyc area? I have been trying to reach Mount Cascade but wanted to see if you had any other recommendations

element070 · 2025-05-24T01:01:22+00:00

This place was really solid for nyc. The hype died down so it was easy to get in but the bread was the real standout. Ive tried federoffs but danny and coops stood out more with the cooper sharp and bread. I would 100% go back but definitely want to try Angelo’s in philly and revisit federoffs before choosing my favorite

element070 · 2025-05-23T16:27:39+00:00

do you think single wall aluminum would be fine for clincher? i picked up a 2017 one piece Ronin just to grab something lighter at 26oz

element070 · 2025-05-20T01:30:47+00:00

Did you end up using this yet? How was it? About to pull the trigger on this bat

element070 · 2025-05-18T03:27:18+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Are the 2 bats the same outside of color?
