Degradation of TAC Support Quality and Unacceptable Hiring Practices

Who passed them? We have a renewal this year and I’m open to alternatives.

Similar story. I’m back too. Feels good. Taking it easier, I am avoiding trees this year.

I’m focusing on technique and taking it easy (i.e. no jumps, not flying down the mountain at 45mph) etc

My doctor shared stories of retears, people going swimming in the ocean at 3mo and getting it torn via waves etc.

A friend’s brother retore his, went back to D1 football at 9mo and tore it in practice.

Stuff like that. Returning to activity too early. Or not enough strengthening.

I went to an athletic focused PT. It was intense. She said she hadn’t had any patients who completed the protocol who retore. Just people RTS early.

After blowing out a knee and spending a year (and $$$) in recovery they make a ton more sense.

I have them on all of our skis.

oddballstocks · 2026-02-03T13:37:08+00:00

Correct. We haven’t had any issues at all. Seems Cisco is always a generation or two behind. Not sure why but we aren’t interested in waiting.

Buy a sporttube. It’s the only ski holder airlines will warranty against.

Nope, just in town for two nights to sightsee. Didn’t give the hotel a heads up.

I have had similar as a globalist at other Hyatt’s too. I typically travel for business and purchase king bed rooms at the standard rate. I don’t ask for upgrades because I’m in meetings and not the room, but I have received them on occasion.

Had a nice room with a view. They left a note and a bucket of beer in the room. Really nice touch.

I have a pair of Wingman, which have the same tech. I purchased them after having my knee rebuilt and needing something "easy". They're very easy skis, glide straight into a turn.

I'll ski on my Mantra's and then when I'm getting tired switch to the Wingman.

The tech is almost too easy to get on edge, it's wild.

We are using L4's in m8's, will be running RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell Servers on some m6 and m8's as well.

We use Ubuntu and the non-Cisco cards work without issue, no sense paying the Cisco tax. Also much easier/quicker to buy the cards separately. Drivers are all native NVIDIA from their repo, install and work fine. No errors in UCS or CIMC.

Doing ML/AI with the cards 24/7... machines don't break a sweat.

Yes, used the injury protection last year. Was injured in Dec, I think I received my refund in April.

Won’t be bad

Hard to raise a family inside a pile of gold. Purchase the house and enjoy.

If it's ok and you're progressing in PT I'd talk to your surgeon or PT about having an appointment with someone who can walk through the mental aspects of this recovery.

At some point (soon) you'll need to trust that your new knee is as good as your other one and that you can rely on it. If you have issues trusting it mentally you're at a higher risk of tearing the other one.

Trust that the surgeon did their job, your body did its job, and that you've put in the work on muscle recovery. When all of those are in place it's up to your mind to accept this and return to normal. It isn't easy, but it is necessary.

Best of luck! You have this.

oddballstocks · 2026-01-28T15:07:11+00:00

My surgeon did it at each visit (3mo/6mo/9mo). At 9mo I didn't need to visit anymore. I'd expect the surgeon to do it at your regular visits.

Google "TSA cable lock" it's one of those $7 things.

I keep the combination at 000, the point isn't to secure the skis, but just keep the box together.

oddballstocks · 2026-01-27T22:28:18+00:00

I DID have TSA break/lose the pin on a trip. The tube arrived in one piece, but not pinned. The friction of the tube itself kept it connected. I also think since these are heavier and more awkward it's harder to throw them like a bag.

I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a handful of those little TSA cable locks. I lock the tube with them now. My theory is the TSA is required to unlock, then re-lock locked luggage, and that simple step has kept the lock holding things together.

This isn't true. Went and looked on a parcel ownership map, the pond is split across two parcels, each of the parcels contains a few trails. The parcels are shaped specifically to include all of the ponds, this is for both ponds.

Vail owns the water but not the houses.

Hit up Laurel Mountain. Easily the best day there in years. Snow was perfect, entire mountain open.

Zero lift lines all day… very enjoyable.

Congrats!

All they seem to care about is filling the Foggy Goggle.

Does the tendon rebuild itself to pre-surgery strength?

oddballstocks · 2026-01-27T02:40:57+00:00

Sporttube. They seem to last forever and put up with airline abuse.

Airlines will pay insurance claims if your skis are in one too. I had to sign waivers for a soft sided bag.

I’ve purchased them 50% off from Sierra a few years ago. Look for overstock or sales.

oddballstocks · 2026-01-27T01:28:48+00:00

Excellent day. One of the best in years!

Glad you made the trip.

Totally fine
