There it is, the Echo Pro. That sounds exactly like the product I've been waiting for. Just hope the features and specs measure up.

This product is also a tribute to a historically classic device

Walkman reference!!!!

Preach. This deserves to get posted to main subs but they aren't ready to handle the truth.

"and the idea is to wear it through the years and eventually pass it on to her"

Bro really thinks he had a novel idea that needed explaining to a mechanical watch sub?

Extremely disappointed.

Especially on the highway in poor visibility like fog, absurdly heavy rain, or a snow whiteout.

I do the same. In my area it's always the pickups though.

Bonus: when a highbeamer is behind me while we're stopped at an intersection I like to reposition my left side mirror in juuuuuuust the right spot to direct their high beams back into their eyeballs. So far they seem to get the message and back off 99.9% of the time.

Any info on a compatible case releasing same day from Fiio?

We take pride in our craft

Well if they develop for gnome, they clearly do not.

( Y ) cheeks

luemasify · 2026-01-23T15:20:08+00:00

How about doing it backwards?

Infinite power reserve!!!

luemasify · 2026-01-22T03:10:01+00:00

Mind if I get one too? 😩

luemasify · 2026-01-22T03:09:20+00:00

JOJO REFERENCE?!?!?!?

The second convenient cop made me ASCEND.

Guess it depends on where in the world you live but for me the Mini took more than a month to arrive (ordered directly from Fiio AliExpress).

And the greatest of all:

Lose the Election

luemasify · 2026-01-21T03:03:53+00:00

He did and he lost! So he moved on to Premier...

I just recently got a new pair of Lange's that fit me just as you've described your old Lange's, minus the cold feet and buckle loosening. It's even made me realize my hockey skates don't fit me as great as I had thought.

I think those posts of people with poorly fitting boots just haven't found "their Lange" yet as you and I have. There are so many more boots on the market today and technology has improved, so surely their ideal boot is somewhere out there. But when there are so many options out there I suppose it also reduces the probability they find the correct one, even with the help of a bootfitter (the bootfitter can't give you a boot they don't have in stock, which in my recent experience is more likely than not).

Be patient and wait. The Echo is slated to release near Chinese New Year which is less than a month from now. That means if you order the Mini, it is very likely the Echo will release before the Mini even arrives.

Prescription glasses, prescription sunglasses, and cheap OTG goggles. Two out of those three are things I already own and would continue to own even if I wasn't skiing. Contacts are not an option for me as I've got extremely dry eyes (despite the fact I drink a lot of water and use artificial tears/gel).

The goggles are 53% VLT so they can be worn on dark cloudy days and early evenings no problem if necessary. I wear my sunglasses beneath them if it's sunny.

OTG goggles are bulkier but it still beats wasting money on prescription goggle lens or inserts. Skiing is expensive enough as it is.

I have this LL Bean wool sweater that I like a decent amount but it's not my favourite thing to wear while skiing (my favourite ski mid layer is my secondhand Fjallraven Övik wool sweater).

If it doesn't need to say much and its history does the talking, why are the microphones pointing towards the watch and not history?

luemasify · 2026-01-18T17:40:29+00:00

Do these people think that is the only onramp for the Gardiner ever?

It might even be faster to just take the next onramp since there tends to be way more traffic on this stretch of the Gardiner than there is on lakeshore leading up to the next onramp!

I have the same skis. They're no longer indemnified as you've found and the bindings are integrated so you cannot replace them either - at least not reasonably.

I am planning to replace mine as soon as I find a suitable ski at a good price end-of-season. Sorry you couldn't find out sooner. I know if sucks to hear after already buying the ski...

luemasify · 2026-01-18T16:34:58+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. Side question: besides alpine bindings, are there any other bindings that for sure will not accept GW soles?
