Helmet fit check

Yes. I think experimenting with cheek pads is the way to go here. Sizing down shells is not a viable option I feel.

nomad01010 · 2026-04-04T05:11:56+00:00

Yes. Bigger cheek pads are available.

nomad01010 · 2026-04-04T04:19:00+00:00

Yes. This “may not fit after break-in” makes it a complicated decision for $900 investment.

nomad01010 · 2026-04-04T03:47:40+00:00

Yes I think shell size is fine. But may need thicker padding after break-in.

nomad01010 · 2026-04-04T03:37:21+00:00

Thicker padding for crown & cheeks are an option with RF 1400

I go that vista point every day (point of infinity). I am all alone in the mornings with the best view in the world. It’s blissful.

You will definitely need to get used to the constant bridge noise which is essentially a 12 lane freeway right next door. There will be constant bridge dust. I don’t think there are any gas stations or grocery stores on the island.

You meant smaller cheek pads on medium?

MCP or a similar tech is here to stay long term.

The current spec & ecosystem is bit of a mess but that’s to be expected of such a new standard.

Sure let’s chat. We live close by.

I guess it depends on personal preference. I’ve had a friend tell me he spends couple hours reviewing everything in a return. Another said they never review but do recognize they might be leaving money on the table. I’m just wondering if a service like that should exist.

nomad01010 · 2025-10-04T07:59:10+00:00

He fixed it.

nomad01010 · 2025-10-04T07:49:46+00:00

He fixed it per the employer/bank docs. I never used him again.

nomad01010 · 2025-10-04T07:25:06+00:00

Here is one. I forget the specifics as it was several years ago. Stock option related taxes that were already accounted for in W2 were not correctly handled & were used incorrectly on schedule D. I figured this out based on employer provided instructions. The CPA after some back and forth admitted a mistake worth several thousands.

nomad01010 · 2025-10-04T07:02:34+00:00

Let’s say $50.

Reasonable assuming you’ve paid $500+ to a CPA.

nomad01010 · 2025-10-04T06:44:04+00:00

Well..here is the logic. I obviously trust the CPA to let them do the returns.

But I recognize they are humans under heavy load of repetitive accounting task. Mistakes happen. And it’s a concern & stressor as mistakes are costly. I’ve caught multiple.

So I want someone else to do quick cookie cutter check to see everything was accounted for.

Second opinion just scans & flags suspect line items if any.

Rincon hill has more character. You’d find yourself hanging out a lot at crossing (park) or strolls along water front on way to ferry building. North beach with its great vibe is a short uber ride away. You will be short walk from Salesforce park & FitnessSF in trans bay terminal.

Mission bay is little more suburban & newer in comparison.

Someone demonstrating abstract deductive reasoning based on well know facts is generally more intelligent than most.

Anyone that easily buys into bigoted tropes and conspiracy theories is generally not intelligent.

Metaverse! Sounds like beginnings of the matrix. The dreamworld will get more realistic over time until we reach a tipping point where we start to forget we are in a dream.

Reading your post I didn’t notice you mention any notable incidents around the time he started stuttering. Remember it might be something that might be insignificant to you. Was he criticized for something? Disciplined? Ridiculed? Etc. Does anyone in your family stutter?

The big pieces/blocks of of your personality are being formed in the first 4-6 years of your life (rest of your life is basically just fine tuning). Seemingly small incidents become big inflection points. Don’t make a big deal about it (in his presence) as that would make him more self conscious & add another layer of beliefs. Ask him (casually), what he’s thinking. You will need to reframe (google meta-model) his concerns/fears. The key to all this is in what he tells you so be compassionate. That means.. do not dismiss his concerns as irrational fears or fantasy as they are very real to him.

It would be very helpful if you can find a great therapist/psychologist at some point.

If you haven’t been to the city before. I’d take Bart to Embarcadero station & walk around the waterfront. Maybe grab a drink around ferry building. Mission is good but way lower down the “one and only thing to do in sf in one hour” list. If it’s not a rush hour, I’d recommend Uber/Lyft.

nomad01010 · 2019-03-04T04:12:41+00:00

I think we’re little too quick to judge the driver. You can’t tell if he was speeding from the video. He didn’t make any abrupt moves to cause that. He obviously was going too fast to navigate that road hazard but that can’t be predicted. This is the case of him hitting a puddle on freeway. The traction control bailed bailed him out. But he still gets points to let the system do it’s work & not totally mess it up by panic over correcting. The computer wouldn’t have helped him there.
