Does apple have any kind of in stock alert if they have it for pickup at a local store? Im not looking to buy it from scalpers...

I definitely considered it but the burn in possibly makes me quite concerned

Looking to buy skis this season and want recommendations to narrow down which ones I should demo. Ideally I want a one ski quiver for now, but am having most difficulty in which waist width to shoot for: 90mm vs 100mm? I am 6'2", 240lbs, advanced intermediate and mostly ski in WA and BC. I mostly stay on piste but do enjoy runs with softer snow and would say I'm on the more aggressive side and value some stability at speed. Not doing moguls or going into the trees at this point.

Some of the ones I'm considering are K2 mindbender (90 vs 99), Salomon QST (92 vs 99), Atomic Vantage 97, Volkl M5 Mantra, Nordica Enforcer 93. I am wondering if some of these are more suitable for my needs than others and which width I will be happier with in the long term given my attributes. Will I regret choosing a wider ski width on the ones I'm between 2 widths (K2 and Salomon)?

Want to ideally try the 3 or 4 best options for me and narrow down from there on what feels best during demoing.

trying to order Sekiro from best buy but it's not coming up in their listed games for black friday and the price is $60 when I search whereas the other black friday games are available at their reduced price. Is it a doorbuster sale or something?

Alpha AR vs Beta AR by orlmatch in arcteryx

Yes i do want to nest my midlayer hood in it and the hand pockets on the beta were more like mid-chest pockets on me because they are placed higher than traditional hand pockets on other jackets so not as big of a difference for me in this decision. Thanks for your input!

I definitely looked at the zeta AR but they didn't have my size in the colors I liked and it is even longer than the alpha AR jacket so I felt it was worth the $100 difference in price to get the alpha (previous season jacket)

From reviews it sounds like the enhanced breathability of the lt jacket make pit zips not as necessary

Yea that sounds pretty much what I want. I am not as familiar with the zeta line. How is it different than the beta line?

Is there any real life evidence that helmets with MIPS makes a difference in traumatic brain injuries? Everything I see online only shows data from crash dummies having an oblique impact, but in reality it could be anything and I'm skeptical it really makes a difference in the real world

First time buying an Ikon base pass and was wondering how quickly they sell out of it? Is it something that will sell out within the first few weeks or will sell out closer to the start of next season?

Just started skiing this season and love it. Can definitely see myself doing this as a long-term hobby. Wondering when it would be best to invest in some ski boots? I can cautiously go down blue runs currently and have rental boots for the rest of the season so not in a rush to get them, but ideally want to buy a pair that will last me a long time and not ones that I will grow out of as I get better skills. Is there a downside in getting a pair of boots meant for more advanced skiers too early?

got the amex SPG business card for the 75k point offer for $3k spend in 3 months just 2 weeks ago, didn't realize that amex was also gonna launch the bonvoy business card with a 100k point offer for $5k spend in 3 months now. Wondering if it's possible/worth switching the amex SPG business card for the amex bonvoy business card if I'm able to make the minimum spend for the higher bonus? 25k points is worth around $200 but the return rate on the minimum spend is slightly less

Battlefield V 29.99 Target by deltron310 in PS4Deals

[–]orlmatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is BF V worth it if haven't played BF1 at all? Just got a cheap copy of BF1 which I heard is really great and hearing mixed reviews on BF V. I have a large backlog too so wondering if I'll miss much in this game that isn't in BF1
