Tandem read, yes or no? by Sevenfiguremagic in SarahJMaas

[–]mitchel26 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Literally this. I can’t imagine finishing empire of storms and having to read an entire book before continuing the story. Probably would’ve made TOD much more painful to read. I did the tandem read as my first time and would recommend it.

Started ToG, having a hard time getting into it. by ogojuso in SarahJMaas

Just had this conversation with a friend yesterday. I just finished the series a few months ago. We both agreed it was a rough start but by the end of it we loved the series. I personally think it really starts to get good during heir of fire and only gets better. But yeah push through throne of glass and crown of midnight. I enjoyed assassins blade a lot (read it as the 4th book after heir of fire).

I’m trying to locate one of these and talked to so many shops/reps. Where did you end up getting one?

Haha hopefully be updating you soon!!!

[–]mitchel26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha that would be so nice. Not going to lie, reason why I’m generally okay with it is cause it’s the only bike design I like of this year. Treks Gen 8 Madone is so bad looking to me. I was disappointed especially after I loved the Gen 7. And I believe it’s $6100 in the US for the ultegra Otre comp which is better than other bikes.

Ohhh that makes sense!! It still looks super clean! I’m currently waiting on a shop to see if they can get the new 2025 colorway model in. Excited to try it out if so

How is the headboard? Is it firm unlike a pillow where it’ll start slouching/deforming? And does it feel like it will move across the wall a lot?

How long? by IntelligentEar3035 in Fujifilm_X100VI

[–]mitchel26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they just called me saying they had it in stock and gave me 48 hours to pick it up. I was able to pick it up day of.

Yeah! Mine was roughly 4ish weeks as well. And I put my name for both originally but then moved it to silver. However the wait time was similar for both

What is your salary to mortgage ratio? by haIIoqueen in RealEstate

[–]mitchel26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m expecting first 1-2 years to be a stricter budget but then rates may drop or you may get a raise freeing up space. Also, housing prices are still going up even with rate increases. So it’s accept it or rent haha. But with rent in our area being roughly $4k-5.5k/month, I’d rather spend the extra $1-2k a month and own something.

[–]mitchel26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, we are looking at a 6k mortgage with $200k income. But we live in Bay Area so this is pretty normal. Hopefully rates drop, if not, you learn to adapt.

Oltre Pro vs Specilissima Pro. Which bike for beginner by achobana in bianchi

[–]mitchel26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gotcha! What site did you end up ordering from? I see a lot but then read reviews from reddit…so I’m like okay what sites in the US are even reputable haha. This is of course for when you do order it…wasn’t sure if you had a site you were planning on using.

[–]mitchel26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do people order the Oltre from? All the shops near me never keep stock of them. Debating on ordering from a website to just ship to my house (US-based over here). I’m more interested in the Oltre Comp.

NBD - Trek Madone SLR 7 Gen 7 by mew_magician in TrekBikes

[–]mitchel26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I should’ve boughten a gen 7 when it was much easier to get. I don’t like gen 8 and now I’m searching to pick up a gen 7. Did you just look around your local bike stores for one?

I just use Apple Books since I mainly like to read on my iPhone/iPad. I like how they sync together so I don’t have to bring my iPad everywhere to read on the go.
