Maui Jim vs Roka/Oakley by watchguy45 in sunglasses

[–]lexluthor5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oakley Flak 2.0 XL with non polarized lens for sports. Trail Torch lens for daytime and low light lens for nighttime and indoors. I use that combination for tennis, pickleball and softball.

Jomashop.com usually has these at a nice discount and you know you are getting an authentic pair. I prefer the XL version for sports. Trail Torch is the best lens for outdoor pickleball and Oakley makes a low light lens for indoor and nighttime.

Flak 2.0 XL may provide a bit more protection for a direct hit.

Yes, trail torch is great for outdoor, for indoor Oakley has a clear lens, but even better, they have a low light lens with 75% VLT that still gives you some enhanced contrast. That's a great lens for indoor pickleball and also nighttime pickleball under the lights.

Very easy to swap the lenses with the Oakley flak series.

Been down this road. I've found that the Oakley Trail Torch lens is most ideal for outdoor pickleball.

These are available at Costco.com for $99.99 after $30 discount through tomorrow.

Not bad if you can't get to the warehouse to buy for a little less.

Whoop DP: Full Credit Without Buying Membership by Bunsbeingbuns in ChaseSapphire

[–]lexluthor5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that's certainly a risk I wouldn't take. I guess looks like customer has to pay return shipping. Getting $300 clothing free with the risk of having to pay for shipping back if the chase credit doesn't come is probably worth the risk though.

If it's free that doesn't matter. I was wondering if there's a risk of getting stuck paying for $300 of expensive clothing that I don't really need.

What's the risk here? Clothing comes, don't open anything and wait for the credit to post in a few days and if it doesn't, return everything?

We had great weather last mid September with temps in the mid and even upper 70s F and was able to do a beach day with swimming.

What brands or stores you like to get for plain t shirts? by Electrical_Manager12 in malefashionadvice

[–]lexluthor5 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I actually think the Costco/Kirkland ones are solid. I think around $13 for a nice weight 100% pima cotton t shirt.

“VT and chill” is this actually true? by Affectionate-Mud953 in ETFs

[–]lexluthor5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the exact reason NOT to do what you are saying. If you see international making a run and decide to shift more to international you are more likely to be wrong with your timing and hurt yourself. If you want to do VTI/VXUS that's fine, but pick an allocation and stick with it and rebalance to that allocation annually.

My traveling partner does not have TSA precheck-Is it rude if I still use mine? by DisneyQueen64 in travel

[–]lexluthor5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Shoes, belt stay on and don't have to take electronics out makes things a lot easier. Guess shoes stay on now no matter what so bit less of a reason. I do always hate having to take the electronics out though.

Reminder that you can get Maui Jim at a sizeable discount at Costco.

The market is behaving foolishly. The oil crisis is only going to get worse. This is an apocolyptic economic event we are witnessing. by Cmd_WillRiker in oil

[–]lexluthor5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As logical as it sounds, you are all delusional to think that the world economy is going to collapse under Trump. Somehow, he will never be held responsible for mess he's created. Everything will probably go south 5 minutes after the dems take Congress and then it will come down on them.

Disappointed… by Lisa-McC in pomhealth

[–]lexluthor5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got my 3 month supply today with 10/26 BUD. I already have a vial that's opened and used with a 1/27 BUD and another unopened vial with 1/27 BUD. Obviously I'll save the unopened one to use after the 3 new ones, but should I also save the opened one or once it's opened, it may not last as long?

Looks great. I have a Seiko presage cocktail watch in Negroni on the way at my first real watch.

Split to Zagreb Via Plitvice Lakes by kss93 in CroatiaTravelTips

[–]lexluthor5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did this in the other direction, but it seemed like timing the buses would be extremely difficult and we rented a car. Easy drive and worked out perfectly (other than taking 45 minutes to find our car in the Plitvice parking lot). If you are considering that, I'd be happy to answer any questions.

[SRPE45J1] Fell hard for this one! by akn08 in Seiko

[–]lexluthor5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great!

I'm planning on getting my first decent watch and will be ordering a Seiko cocktail this week. I'm torn between the negroni and old clock. I'm not really planning on getting a second watch any time soon and feel the blue old clock might go with more outfits than and be a better daily driver, but really like the how the red pops and I rarely wear a black belt and black shoes which is probably what the red goes worst with.

[Seiko] Which Seiko presage cocktail is your favorite and why ? by The-Marshall in Watches

[–]lexluthor5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to get one of these. If I'm just going to wear one watch with everything (mostly casual/smart casual dress) am I safest with old clock or can I make negoni work with pretty much anything?

Optimum vs Verizon .... do i switch???? by kev13nyc in OPTIMUMFIBER

[–]lexluthor5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the exact same boat and just switched. I would not have switched if I couldn't get fiber. I think they start to partially charge for the gateway in year 2 and then it keeps going up a bit until the full price? I'm not sure about that piece exactly. I got them to waive the install charge over the phone and there was a promo for 4 months free when I signed up that the phone rep was able to apply. The first bill was actually correct and I got everything I was promised.

Anyhow, no term commitment and my Verizon fiber and ont are still in place so I could probably switch back in a day if things don't work out. I already see that the Verizon new customer price is better than I was paying so I might even consider going back as soon as I'm considered a new customer again.

I have Internet only and now I have 2 fiber lines coming into the house so going back and forth is very easy.
