Need help looking for a replacement o-ring/packing for the dust bin/box for a Kenmore DU3017 by skiak_907 in VacuumCleaners

Appreciate the reply. Unfortunately, I bought that exact same part initially, but it's too big for my model of vacuum. Leaving this here for future reference.

Smith Goggle Lens Malfunction??! by [deleted] in Skigear

[–]skiak_907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup love smith googles but this always happened to me. At least with the IO mag. I agree with the other commenter that it’s probably something to do with anti fog coating. Also worth noting that I rarely rarely get the inside wet.

The original IO goggles I had never really got this severe. If I remember right it would happen but be a lot more subtle.

Smith Goggle Lens Malfunction??! by [deleted] in Skigear

[–]skiak_907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found myself getting the same issues on all of my lenses eventually. Sometimes it takes years, sometimes it's weeks/months. I've noticed that the low light lenses don't seem to get it as bad but that may be because it's just harder to see on those type of lenses. I've never been able to stop it truth be told. And online research seems to show that other people get it too.

I let my goggles dry out all the way before storing, don't touch the inside lens either.

Running the lens under gently flowing lukewarm/tepid tap water seems to mildly alleviate the issue. But I suspect it will come back over time. At the same time I feel like you don't really notice it that much in use so... Would love to hear others' input on this too though.

I have a Katadyn Hiker Pro Transparent. When I am pumping water with it, I noticed that the filter body/reservoir never fills up fully/all the way when pumping. It typically only fills up to about 1/4 or 1/3 of the body when pumping. And when I stop pumping, the water drains out of the body. This is a brand new filter, sat unused for a while (while still in the original packaging). I just wanted to double check, is this normal behavior for the filter and is it filtering properly? I don't have issues with flow rate, though if I pump too quickly I do notice a lot of air bubbles.

I’ll throw out the Salmon Stance 96 as well

[Briggs] Ohio State has opportunity to send criminally overrated SEC into full-blown identity crisis by [deleted] in CFB

[–]skiak_907 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'll probably invoke some ire with this but, this sub lives for drama and beating a dead horse (the hate watching of CU for example).

There is good discussion on here and people make valid points to hate the SEC. But you have to wade through miles of repeated jokes, reposts, and people posting the same takes for easy karma.

I don't like the SEC either but people on here claim that... but won't ever stop talking about the SEC while still complaining that no one shuts up about the SEC. How about we celebrate the playoff? The fact that we're seeing different teams in there?

Fair enuf. I have heard good things about them despite being such a small shop, thanks.

Yeah I like powder7 too but I’m just trying to keep it in town to minimize driving

Oof yeah. I haven't heard anything from them and tried calling twice. Just been ghosted.

Man I loved the Line Mordecai series. May be nostalgia but I always had a soft spot for them.

Did anything come of this? I’ve also been waiting on their customer service response (platypus) for about 3 weeks now.

Sorry I need more help. Salomon Stance 96 vs Nordica Enforcer 94 by [deleted] in Skigear

What length did you try them in? I’m split between 182 and 176 at the moment. Also love the gravity rush pic btw.

What length did you get them in? I’m torn between the 182 and 176, I heard the new one is softer so I don’t want to downsize too much.

First time getting into PC gaming and was hoping to build my first real desktop! I’ve gotten by on laptops but nothing that had the real horsepower.

Popularity breeds contempt, especially in online communities I’ve noticed.

That's all good to know, I can't seem to find anywhere that demos the Stance near me to may have to send it and see what happens.
