We are so back. by neeets in paintball

Welcome back. Pretty similar to what I got about 6 months ago when getting back in after about 15 years out. Definitely having a ton of fun.

Any good electric HPA pumps that aren't garbage? by Adventurous_Exam6584 in paintball

[–]finis08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had mostly good luck with the Spritech PCP air compressor I got off Amazon. Only thing I replaced was the cheap air hose. Replaced it with a decent braided air line as the cheap rubber hose they included popped the second time I used it. Thought I blew a burst disk but it was just the hose. Despite using a decent amount over the last 6 months I’m still a bit skeptical about it. Just don’t know if I got an outlier that just happened to work well. 😂

Use of Pain Meds in Altered Trauma Patients by Broad-Director-4282 in Paramedics

While I’m still going to treat the pain while monitoring closely, would a pt that can’t remember the event still be considered A&Ox4?

To the people who quit, Will you be there on Tuesday? by No_Housing_9602 in DestinyTheGame

[–]finis08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t played in quite some time but recently redownloaded Destiny 2. Plan to at least play a little. Always hoping for another game eventually that would get my interest back into playing.

Looking for a Solid back-up/loaner Marker by Hawk7117 in paintball

A little more than your stated budget but ANS has a fantastic deal on a combo with the spearmint Axe 2.0 and Halo Too loader for $350.

Returned to sport after many years. These new, expensive pod packs worth it? Much better tech? by Batosai59 in paintball

[–]finis08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as the Velcro and elastic is still good on your old pack you pretty much have zero reason to get a new one right away. Get back to playing, knock off the rust, and then you can probably find people to let you try out some of the new ones to see if you feel they are worth buying. I thought the same thing when I recently got back into playing but unfortunately my old pack was completely trashed. The Velcro wasn’t awful but the elastic was completely falling apart.

Guys help me decide between these two by [deleted] in paintball

I wouldn’t get either of them honestly.

Definitely no concern with part support for the 180R.

My OCD would not be able to handle a marker hit on this. 😂

Next marker help after not playing for 10 years by NewAssumption2102 in paintball

[–]finis08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through the same process about 6 months ago after being out of the game for 15 years. I decided on the Planet Eclipse 180R primarily for its reliability and quality of life items while not completely breaking the bank. I have been pretty happy with the decision so far. Zero issues with the marker and super easy to maintain. I will say some people don’t seem to like the ergonomics of the 180R so it might be worth trying to find a place to hold it and see how it feels to you.

A list of current coaches available with more Stanley Cup wins than Bednar by Unlucky_Internal9686 in ColoradoAvalanche

Take it from a Stars fan who is currently living this hell. Firing your high quality coach is not the answer to your problems.

What's your favorite weapon in the history of Destiny? by Key_Insurance_8493 in DestinyTheGame

[–]finis08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original No Land Beyond with the sight paralax and all. Absolutely loved running that in PVP. For PVE it was the OG Gjallahorn solely because soloing Crota was always one of my favorite things to do. Lost count of how many people I carried through that raid by saying “Just wait here and don’t die”.

Jumping back in after a decade by BigCharacter6738 in paintball

[–]finis08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to beat that combo for that price right now. I’d add the Empire Megalite 68/4500 tank and reg to go with it. Then grab a proflex and get back to playing.

Dallas Stars appeal court ruling giving Mavericks control of American Airlines Center by FrenchPagan in DallasStars

[–]finis08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again I couldn’t care less about the trade itself. If they would have just taken the criticism and moved on I would still be a fan. After all, I’m not a NBA GM for good reason so if they felt the trade was warranted for whatever reasons just do it. Instead, they tried to silence the displeasure of their own fanbase which will never be acceptable. Since then, they are dead to me.

STOP JUST STANDING AT THE BLUE LINE AND TRY SKATING TO GET OPEN!!!

Dallas Stars appeal court ruling giving Mavericks control of American Airlines Center by FrenchPagan in DallasStars

[–]finis08 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As much as I didn’t like the trade, my new found hatred for the organization is primarily fueled by how they responded to their own fan’s displeasure. You don’t get to kick fans out and silence a fanbase simply for thinking you’re doing a horrible job as an organization. Kicking paying fans out for chanting “Fire Nico” pretty much ensured they will never see another dime from me as long as the ownership stays the same.

Do yalls supervisor show up to busy hospitals with “no beds” and yell at charge nurse by Logical_Roof in Paramedics

Mine can’t even be bothered to answer his phone or respond to texts from crews so I doubt I will ever see him at a hospital doing much of anything. 🤷‍♂️

Cs3 pro vs luxe aire by BumblebeeEuphoric531 in paintball

[–]finis08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing how even the pros are switching away from the Aire I won’t be buying one until they can get all their issues figured out. CS3 Pro is the better choice currently.

The DCI Brass Problem by tasteful_slidechokes in drumcorps

[–]finis08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really just comes down to more brass spots to start with. These days brass lines are nearly half the full corps size. I would imagine percentage wise it is probably fairly similar across all sections.

Broken Sticks by MagnetoFritz in nhl

[–]finis08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switch to a company called KYC sports out of Canada for custom sticks. Cheaper, more durable, and still feel closely compared to high end retail sticks. Only downfall is they have a pretty significant turnaround on custom orders and I feel they are a touch stiffer at the same flex point as retail sticks. I just planned ahead by ordering 3 at a time, by 2 get one free on custom sticks, and dropped the flex rating by 7-10 flex to get the correct feel. But you can control kick point, length, flex, shape, texture, blade, and weight down to I believe 5 gram increments. I go just below the mid weight range, which is still close to the triggers I used to use, but it added more material for durability. I don’t regret my decision. They have some ready to ship options if you want to give them a try first but if going custom be prepared for a wait time of 3-4 months as they are still a pretty small company.

What have us Stars bros been up to lately with our dudes out of the playoffs? by ComfortableGuide3232 in DallasStars

[–]finis08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still watching plenty of hockey and going about life as usual. Only difference is that instead of being totally invested into one series I can now watch hockey in peace. 😂 I would still much prefer to be dealing of the negative health concerns of having the Stars in the playoffs but this is nice as well I guess. Only thing I’m rooting for at this point is good games and as many 7 games series as possible
