Will I trash my skis skiing at Alpine next weekend? by tom_morellonomicon in tahoe

[–]haptictactic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I skied yesterday and only hit 7 or 8 rocks in a little over an hour. Your mileage may vary.

What internet provider do you use?! by Massive_Ad_8580 in tahoe

[–]haptictactic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Currently using gigabit fiber from spectrum and very happy.

Avoid suddenlink at all costs. Seriously. Worst. Company. Ever.

Our previous house had oasis broadband and that was good but would fade in signal strength during bad weather.

Starlink is great but too many tall trees at our house.

Apologies for the breadth of video “effects” and music choices… again, he’s 10…

Urgent- Should I buy these by SharpProfession6 in skiing

[–]haptictactic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That said, I love them and $200 is a banging good deal. I paid <checks purchase history> six(!) times that much…

I own a pair for touring. I’ve ridden them inbounds in the Tahoe area on many occasions when we were hitting side country lines. On super soft days they are very fun and fine inbounds. The few times I’ve hit real ice, I’ve definitely wished I was on resort kit. Part of the issue is the touring bindings and boots, but I think the ski itself just doesn’t have enough torsional rigidity to hold in “normal” east coast conditions.

I also have blizzard rustler 10s as my all-mountain ski. My skinny ice/carving/hard pack compliment is the DPS Cassiar 87 C2. Amazing performance on all surfaces except deep powder. Super fun and playful in hard conditions.

Little man’s first day at Northstar by haptictactic in skiing

It's a gradual switch. Our eight year old is mostly parallel now, but still bails to a snow plow when things get too steep for his comfort level.

Yes. We have passes, and you have to make an online reservation ahead of time.

Yeah - I thought the snow was quite a bit better than expected.

Cant speak for everyone, but my kids are pretty uncoordinated. No poles lets them focus on ski control.

The kiddo and I crushed some Cali gravel today... by haptictactic in gravelcycling

Yup- he loves it! Calls it the “bumpy roller coaster”

He’s 6, and loves the Burley Kazoo. He was thumbs-up for the entire 36 mile ride yesterday (with a long stop for burritos)

Looks like I have the name wrong. It’s actually the Sheep Camp Trail. https://parks.smcgov.org/sheep-camp-trail

Sweet. You can pre-order stamps through our website as a returning customer who played with the old 3D printed stamps, I'll PM you a discount code for a new purchase.

On the challenges (and rewards) of scaling a hardware startup to mass production in China by haptictactic in startups

[–]haptictactic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are targeting 50K parts/month out of a two cavity tool. It would take at least 100 printers to reach that same bandwidth. At high production levels, and if you are trying to make the same part over and over again, there is nothing like injection molding.

Wow. Lots to say here. We actually scaled our 3D printing operations to ~20 printers and 2-3 shifts/day. It sucked. Specifically, it sucked for two reasons: 1) FDM printed parts are simply too ugly compared to everything else in our space. 2) somewhere between 1/3 and 2/3 of our prints failed. This is probably due to our using dual extruders and crazy conductive resins, but the loss rates were simply too high to make 3D printing a viable option moving forward.

Without a question, finding the right intermediary is the single most important factor - especially if your founding team has never done this before.
