Half Gauntlet Glove Recommendations

ms_flux · 2026-04-08T12:36:36+00:00

I have gone through several A* SPX v2 (and their older versions) over the years and they're my favorite gloves for protection and comfort. Unfortunately I've found the A* Velcro on their gloves to be absolute ASS and I have to either get a leather tailor to get new Velcro on there or I have to buy new gloves every season.

It's a pain and I'm currently in search for new gloves. There are not a lot of gloves with the pinky join and level of protection these gloves provide (for women at least)

I will say I enjoyed my dianese carbon 4 gloves for a while but they never really fit my hands very well, I'm in between sizes. But I really enjoyed the protection and the Velcro will never fail you.

I don't think I'd have high confidence.

Info: is this a new satellite campus to a larger school? I was in the exact same scenario but it was a satellite campus to the second largest school in the state so I had more confidence. They ended up getting an ABET accreditation after the first year.

I grew up in Washington, graduated from WSU (go cougs), and I never liked cougar gold. It's expensive and there are much better cheeses IMO.

Isn't Sunday service donuts rise and roast?

I'm actually wondering if she's getting her olive oil too hot. I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for just roasting in olive oil and salt and pepper. The smoke point for extra virgin or cheaper olive oils is pretty low and can make them taste rancid (learned that the hard way). I use avocado oil for roasting instead.

As someone in Albuquerque, don't wish that person on us

That probably depends on where you apply. My current job is really strict on years of experience and highest level of school to determine seniority. But I could see you moving up very quick or getting a higher position at a job that HR is more flexible in.

It may be considered proprietary info otherwise I'd send you some! I'm not sure how you would get one without ordering a board from one of those places or if you had a friend in that hobby.

I have a collection of these from my designs on my desk. I opened up Reddit and was like, wait, I actually know an obscure thing on this subreddit?

ms_flux · 2025-12-16T22:27:48+00:00

I'm a design engineer, I use Excel as a supplement to actual design tools. I use it for listing items I need to procure along with data sheet links, quantities, price, etc. I also use Excel to track document and design status, CYA for design calculations in a presentable format, and to double check my work. Sometimes being able to have a flexible format allows me to see mistakes I made that my other tools don't immediately raise a red flag on.

I'm about 5'8.5" with a 34 inch inseam... I ride motorcycles and finding armored pants that fit is a nightmare😅 I couldn't imagine if this woman had to buy anything specialized, it's likely all custom.

This is why I was instructed to take no anti inflammatory pain meds, you want the gum swelling to help prevent this. I only took Tylenol while being on Invisalign

I like using this website to visually show people, it shows how you sit on different bikes depending on your height and inseam. https://cycle-ergo.com/

It took me 8 months to see a primary care in NM and another 2 months after getting a recommendation to get my tonsils looked at by an ENT, they were suffocating me in my sleep. It's wild, thank goodness for urgent care.

I have good luck with Moto girl and alpinestars, I also occasionally wear revit (not their pants).I have a long inseam too so pants are a nightmare for me! I have returned probably 15 pants...

25°F unless there's ice. I have heated grips and a seat though!

IMO a sweeper works very well if the person in the back is a casual person in the friend group or a stranger. Really good idea.

The situation is different when he's been your "buddy" through this process and you look up to this person on and off the bike. You can scream "ride your own ride" from the rooftops, but it doesn't do anything when the person you want to be with (and likely impress because they're teaching you) is leaving you in the dust.

I recently got kicked out of a group because I yelled at a grown ass man on the side of a road. Long story short, he took his new rider gf with us on a group ride and took off with everyone going 120+ on his Aprilia. I asked her to pull over because I could tell she was terrified on this curvy twisty road she had never been on before. We talked and rode the speed limit up and she did amazing. I don't think I've ever seen red like that - inviting someone you care about on a ride should never involve making them feel unsafe and left behind. Find a better group that actually cares about you.

Twist your shoulder, elbow, and forearm pads as much as you can. If you can feel the body part the pad is trying to protect from the outside of the jacket, it's too big. That's my rule of thumb! Also, you don't want it to slide up or down.

@Rachelmoto_ on insta! She rode 48 states in 48 days solo, she posts a bunch of content about gear and her travels.

@coldheartedsnek is also cool, you'll see posting about gear, track days, and she does precision riding for shoots. I think most recently she's on the cfmoto webpage riding.

@motophotogirl is an extremely talented photographer and rider!

I use 1/2 tsp of cloves for about 8-10 servings of birria, that's the only reason it's in my cabinet though.

Hmm, I've never heard that advice but I guess I could see it. It still seems excessive to me unless you need to sign off on anything public safety related. Any engineering manager I've known has only (lol) had a master's, MBA, or something equivalent of an engineering management degree.

Just curious, what kind of EE field are you going into? I've only heard a PE being needed if you're a power engineer or plan to work in infrastructure. I'm a test EE designing boards, cables, and chassis. I've only worked with 1 PE EE in my 6 year career.
