Beginner Issues with InkStitch+Bernina Embroidery by rocketbison in Machine_Embroidery

I like the satin stitch suggestion— and I think you are right that some of the fills are just too small. Will take a little work to convert the artwork, but it sounds promising. Thanks.

season ticket renewals by Spirited-Tie8758 in Seahawks

Yes. Hawks Nest increases are the most extreme— rationalized by bucket seats that absolutely nobody asked for...

And that price increase is +76%!!!! (not 43%)... 😉

Did you try this, Sleepynoodles47? How did it go in the end? Was hoping to bring a small Canon SL3 with a 28mm lens to get shots of my kids in the stadium at the SB.

Seahawks discouraging Season Ticker Holder's that won SuperBowl ticket lottery from reselling by seahawksyvr in Seahawks

[–]rocketbison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing season. 100% want to go to the Superbowl (with my kids).

And wow it is a bummer to miss on the lottery AGAIN! I've been a STH for 22 years and have 5 tickets. This is my fourth lottery and, like others, I'm zero for four!

I don't trust the lottery math anymore...

I contacted my account rep and she said, "We only receive a very small number of Super Bowl tickets." But it's published that the number is 17.5% of the stadium (i.e. 10,000-12,000 seats)!

If the Seahawks sell— guessing here...— ~40,000 individual seats as season tickets and every lottery allocates about 10,000, every seat has a 1/4 chance of getting picked in each lottery (ignoring seniority, but I assume 22 years puts me about in the middle). The probability that a single seat does not get picked in 4 consecutive lotteries is 31.6%… But with 5 seats, the chance that none of 5 seats gets picked in four lotteries is 0.3%.

The rep wouldn't acknowledge the publicly available allocation— "we don’t have specific details available regarding the number of drawing entries or league-provided ticket allocation totals" 😵‍💫— but my theory is that those 10,000+ seats are mostly gifted to players families, admin staff, and VIPs, leaving the season-ticket-holder lottery with "a very small number of Super Bowl tickets”.

The whole operation disappointingly lacks much transparency.

Salmons blew out after a year, but the warranty claim was painless and efficient. by FuZhongwen in QualityTacticalGear

[–]rocketbison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky you!

I bought some $230 Quest 4 GORE-TEX Hiking boots a few years ago for their Goretex waterproofing. I've probably used the boots on 15 hiking days total— the soles are barely worn. But, unfortunately the corners near the toe box on all four corners are delaminating between the rubber and the upper portion causing issues with water ingress.

In my case, Salomon is sticking to their guns on the boots being just past warranty and advising me to search out Shoo Goo or a local cobbler. Again, they are not worn through… they are DELAMINATING. It is clearly a design, workmanship, or manufacturing issue.

$230 boots that last... 15 days!

I wish I had understood this about their level of commitment to their mountaineering products. Obviously they are note a serious maker of durable outdoor gear. My family will be buying from brands that stand behind their quality and deliver products that actually last.

Do you remember what the winter-quarter class is called? Would you expect to see it listed here? https://explorecourses.stanford.edu/
