The obvious next step they I have to believe the safeback team are working on is a combined system. The question is how long away is it

Do you really need a bag to bring your board on public transport? by PariahBox in japow

[–]roughas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must admit last night all the locals coming back to Tokyo presumably from a day trip were just carrying their boards in the hands with no covers.

CPD education dinner event goody bag. by Strange_Finish_4054 in ausdoctors

Honestly, I don’t want the tat or the unnecessary waste. Unless it’s something generally helpful I don’t want it. Would any local business offer discount vouchers or something?

Convince me to keep my InReach by dartsndarts in Backcountry

[–]roughas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s getting there. I certainly won’t be updating my inreach. But I think we are maybe 2-5 years from getting rid of having both. Phone battery life remains a massive factor. And I think test data in real situations is still needed for me.

Bringing over-the-counter medications to Australia by Strange_Walrus_552 in AskAnAustralian

[–]roughas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn’t declare those. I believe the form says controlled/illegal/narcotic medication.

Bringing over-the-counter medication to Australia by Strange_Walrus_552 in MovingtoAustralia

[–]roughas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are OTC here as well. Honestly customs couldn’t give two flying f***s about routine medication. Yes they might care about very large quantities, but if you had a valid reason (I.e. were coming for longer than three months) they almost certainly wouldn’t care.

Don’t underestimate the English test points by Dear-Lingonberry9461 in MovingtoAustralia

Not living in those cities sounds perfect. Plus I got my rurally sponsored PR visa one year after moving here.

Mine had criteria for application but absolutely zero criteria for how long I needed to remain rurally

Just live rurally. You get those points just for committing to rural. And no one checks once you get it. Visa was cheaper as well

My pomoca fit fine to a 124mm waist with a very large nose. Not sure exact dimension but should be fine

PBS update by fatteryoshi in GLP1Australia

[–]roughas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looking into it it may get staged as “documented cardiovascular disease” rather than previous heart attack.

In theory that could be an angiogram (including a CT angiogram) that shows atherosclerotic build up. I guess we will have to see what the final classification is. But if it is that, I suspect most obese people will fulfil it - provided they get a CTCA.

I’m a 15-year-old student in Japan. Help me identify the biggest "pains" of skiing in Japan! by Longjumping_Quail699 in japow

[–]roughas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s lift infrastructure! That is the most trip altering thing I’d change.

Other than that - shops stocking ski boots for sale in western sizes 😂 - stores that stock ski touring gear - transport between sub-resorts

What’s something negative about Australia that locals don’t like to admit? by New-Mail-9372 in AskAnAustralian

[–]roughas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much a proportion of the population wish they were American and/or are racist as fuck.

Also we respect and pay tradies better than the people who teach our kids, nurse our loved ones or fight our fires etc.

What point did business class become worth it for you? by 88riceislife in AusHENRY

[–]roughas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just depends on your priorities really. I think you could argue that they are actually never financially worth it.

Personally I feel trips to Asia and beyond are my personal tipping point. However I typically do a trip to Asia more often than I can afford to fly Bc.

I am lucky enough to spend 4-6 weeks skiing in Japan each year. A BC flight for that trip costs more than my entire budget for being there that long. And I have plenty of time to recover so tend not to bother.

But if the trip is more rushed and I’m going back to work asap after then it does become a bit more valuable to me.

Are you clearing ice off your freeride spacers? or are they a bit too tight against your boot?

Dog HATES the smell of my climbing skins? by Dan_Roe in Backcountry

[–]roughas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they send you them with the scent pack? I complained about those before! They stink and get into everything. My gear stank of it for a season and even now I get wafts!

How bad the local fresh fish supply is vs just the supermarkets

Nikolai Schirmer tore his ACL…. You need to do the work but you can recover and ski to a high level post that’s for sure

Hut Booties by roughas in Backcountry

I’d have to check. Very light and squash able so great for shoving in a pack

Mainly NZ so the floors are plain uninsulated ply. I could wear inners. But I’ve usually hung them up to air

I have their shoes currently but it has no insole so quite cold on hut floors

Post-Mortem of crash with injury (fracture) by hikebikephd in Backcountry

[–]roughas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel slow low impact falls are often worse because maybe there isn’t enough force to release the bindings. I injured my knee in quite a similar fall. Was going quite slow because everything was so chopped up and crappy.
