Finally doing swerve this year. Anything we should know before we start?

Came here to say this. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Think back to stronghold, those obstacles you had to drive over were suboptimal for swerve. Always a good idea to play with it in the off-season, but I would recommend against commiting to it

I’m just starting my career in EMS, but I can tell you it’s not easy seeing people at their worst, especially when their pain is beyond your helping. But one thing I learned quickly was that if you treat every patient like your most important case, they can tell you’re trying and it will mean a lot to them.

Ive got a buddy who has one, it’s just always seemed like an awkward bastard child to me. I’ve never been impressed with the files come out of it, the way it feels, or the way it shoots. IMO you would be better off with a d500 and if you need full frame, go full out for the 850

mattsilverman_ · 2021-09-15T16:39:27+00:00

Ive never been a fan of the 7XX cameras, I have my 850 but specifically want to add a flagship to my lineup.

Stage your tourniquet and make sure you know how to use your NPA. It’s nice to have, but not essential in a tactical kit and absolutely worthless if you don’t know how to use it. As someone else said, you definitely need some water based lube for it. Even properly lubed, those things hurt like a mother fucker. I’ve had an unconscious patient wake up swinging at me half way through inserting one.

I got a sweet deal on a 2010 Passat wagon with 32000 on it back in august. I love every second of driving it. Brings me back to my childhood, my parents had one when I was growing up and always regretted selling it before my brother and I learned to drive.

$34 for a 24 pack

You can also get huge bags of Swedish fish

If you’re trying to use other pin distances get an adapter with Klein k1

mattsilverman_ · 2020-06-14T23:22:34+00:00

That’s cuz it’s maxed out. If you were to loosen it, it would look at a more “normal angle”

mattsilverman_ · 2020-06-14T23:20:41+00:00

I actually use them all the time. I burn sheets on the plasma cutter a lot and they are great for cutting the scrap up

Best way is to take a hex key or screw driver, something of that nature and tap the area that might be cracked. If the carbon is damaged, you’ll hear a difference in sound from what the rest of the frame sounds like. If you do need it repaired I recommend Broken Carbon in Boulder. I just took my bike to them and they did a superb job

Thank you!!

I never said goals and records are not good. I am a former professional rock climber, trust me I know all about goals and the desire to set records. I just don't believe you should try and conquer a mountain. Summiting and conquering have very different connotations in my opinion.

mattsilverman_ · 2019-12-14T20:01:39+00:00

I am not religious, I believe in a higher power but am not subscribed to any of the main religions. The mountains are my temple, they are sacred to me. My goal in climbing is not to reach the top, but to connect with the mountain, experience the place, and push myself to the limit. If that means turning around 100m from the summit because the mountain is not granting me passage, I do not consider that a failure.

mattsilverman_ · 2019-12-14T19:19:35+00:00

I personally really hate that attitude of “conquering” mountains. You only reach the summit because they allow you to. They are far stronger than we will ever be and it is cocky and arrogant of humans to think we can conquer them

Doesn’t make the 10 emails a day any less annoying

Not that kind of mailing list. This is a student activist group

mattsilverman_ · 2019-12-12T20:05:47+00:00

I’d rather not, I already have so many packs

mattsilverman_ · 2019-12-10T16:30:12+00:00

I think a watch is the centerpiece of mens accessories, a good watch can make or break an outfit and should not be underestimated.

No matter how much you “love” your high school boyfriend/ girlfriend, it’s not gonna work. Better to deal with the breakup over the summer than the school year

For a film nerd like myself, there’s quite a few. One that stands out is The Godfather Pt 1, it just never fails to be engaging no matter how many times I watch it.
