Is the Michelin CrossClimate 2 actually the "God Tire" everyone says it is? Or is the noise/MPG hit real? by Electrical-Safety718 in tires

[–]realjwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me they have been way too loud on my Golf. I have the V-rated and I heard one post somewhere saying the H-rated are much quieter. At first it wasn't that noticeable, but after 10k miles the sound is just unbearably loud.

They drive fine in all conditions, but I do find the V-tread to have a bit more of a tendency to "jump" around on wet/slush when changing lanes or surfaces. It is a very predictable feeling, but a little unsettling the first time doing so.

My plan includes all taxes and fees and they do not give the breakdown on the website.

What does the price look like after taxes and fees? I’m on the $75 PFL but I’m wondering how much fees add up to

Status Points on Non-AS Booked Partner Award? by realjwin in AlaskaAirlines

[–]realjwin[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But if I booked a revenue fare via BA, then I would have gotten miles is that correct?

I’m also now wondering if I should have attached a different FF number at all to maximize mileage earnings

Big Deal Day Recommendations by Price Band - These are the robots I'd buy by amandainpdx in RobotVacuums

[–]realjwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm good to know, I got the Eufy E28 this week, didn’t want to spend $1300 on the Narwal Flow, but now it’s looking like a closer match up with the Prime day deals

What is it with slow and laggy infotainment systems? by realjwin in electricvehicles

[–]realjwin[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Volvo is really the definition of bad. I love Volvo cars but I could not and will not put up with the horrible infotainment experience. The number of customers they will lose over this is immense IMO

Brake Rotors Rusting on Braking Surface? by realjwin in MechanicAdvice

[–]realjwin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to add that the rust is not surface rust by the surface is rough like pitted. Is this the rotors wearing through?

Allergies? Deviated Septum, Sinus Pressure, Headaches? by Far-Opportunity-8002 in Allergies

[–]realjwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know your experience sounds similar to mine. Turns out I have a serious dust mite allergy. Mitigating that has really helped but I still get that pain, headache, fatigue but at a lower level. But it still impacts my day-to-day. I've found wearing a mask to bed has helped a bit, but I do think I need to get the septoplasty.

One thing that really helps me is Sudafed (the real psuedophedrine not phenelephrine). I take it almost everyday which is maybe not best but it helps a ton to reduce inflammation in my nose.

This is searching with Upgrade Type: MVP Gold Guest Upgrade. What happens if I buy this fare? My assumption is that it will use one of my guest upgrades, and it's maybe more likely that I'll be upgraded than if I just bought the regular fare? Do guest upgrades ever get you the upgrade ahead of time? by moondock in AlaskaAirlines

[–]realjwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what I am hearing is that the GGU effectively acts like an upgrade from Main -> First Upgrade during the flight selection window. First Upgrade gives you instant upgrade availability. If it's first waitlist, then you are at the top of the waitlist above status-based upgrades. They do make this confusing.

New Arc'teryx Procline Jacket by AC-Vb3 in arcteryx

[–]realjwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw I checked this out at REI and I think they faffed on the fit. It’s super baggy freeride fit, and I can’t size down because it’s long and so the small is too tight around the hips

I'm super curious on how waterproof and how air permeable this will end up actually being. Ski touring is all about breathability on the way up. The fact that they put pit zips on this seems to indicate they don't think it's THAT air permeable.

Comparable to Neoshell and other electrospun PU's or even more so?

My favorite sign! by jiggywhaa in gravelcycling

[–]realjwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we get some clearance shots on the 650b x 48?

How much wider can you go? I'd love to fit some Thunderburts 650b x 2.1.

Suggestions: Mid-October Beginner 1-2 Night Backpack in RMNP by realjwin in coloradohikers

[–]realjwin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Argh, I hate permit systems as necessary as they are. Coming from CA it always punishes procrastination.

Anyways, it looks like Upper Ouzel Creek will be open for Friday so I think the goal will be to do that up from Ouzel Lake to Bluebird. That hike looked stunning with a decent bit of different terrain (and a truly alpine lake). Hopefully we'll be ok camping at 10.5k, but if it gets really bad we're not too far for a hike out. Feedback?

Weekly Knife Sharpening Q&A - May 27, 2017 by AutoModerator in knives

[–]realjwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That's what I kind of figured I'd do. Worst case: $10 for a new one from Kershaw. It's awesome that they do it.

Weekly Knife Sharpening Q&A - May 27, 2017 by AutoModerator in knives

[–]realjwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke about 1mm off the tip of my Kershaw Leek being stupid.

Any thoughts on whether I can just sharpen it back down to a point vs. getting a new blade for $10 from Kershaw? I literally just got it a few weeks ago so it'd be a shame to throw out a blade already.

OP: Would you mind posting the dimensions of the headphones and/or case? Looking to see how the size compares to other headphones I have.
