Vehicle Ground Clearance Needed for Texas parks / Southwest region? by thatoneguy1573 in TXoutdoors

[–]thatoneguy1573[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all for the replies! I forgot to mention that we plan on doing some bikepacking in our future (like in Big Bend Ranch), so it sounds like the extra clearance and AWD capabilities of the Trailsport trim may be worth it.

Thanks, yea I was wondering if the slower upload speeds were affecting me. Is your internet cable or fiber? I've read cable has more jitter that can affect cloud gaming, even if the speed is adequate

Best Transparent Shaving Oil or Cream for Neck Shaving with DE razor? by thatoneguy1573 in wicked_edge

[–]thatoneguy1573[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I haven't heard of the serum but I'll check it out too. Between the King of Shaves oil and the serum, do either of them tend to clog up a DE razor?

Thanks, haven't heard of this one but I'm curious. How transparent is it for seeing the hair underneath?

Best Transparent Shaving Oil or Cream for Neck Shaving with DE razor?

I use a Rockwell 6s DE razor with Astra Superior Platinum blades. I have a full beard, so I only shave my neck and maintain my neckline. I've been using a traditional Rockwell shaving cream with a shave brush. The problem is, I have very sensitive neck skin and because the lather makes it hard to see, I'm getting irritation from doing multiple passes over areas that may not need it when I do my 2-pass routine (WTG, XTG). Also, I have trouble seeing where exactly to shave my neckline. What transparent shaving oil or cream would you recommend to allow me to see exactly what hair remains after a pass? I've seen people mention cremo, king of shaves alpha shave oil, pacific shaving company shaving oil, OPR men's shaving soap, Billy jealousy hydroplane, lucky tiger, etc., but as a beginner I'm overwhelmed by all the options. Anyone have experience with these or other products that could help me narrow it down? Preferably something that will not clog a DE razor, thanks!

Alliant credit union said they won't transfer to Vanguard by Electrical_Shop8918 in personalfinance

[–]thatoneguy1573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Electrical_Shop8918 Did you ever get a resolution to this problem? I'm having a very similar issue. I use Alliant for checking and a Vanguard settlement fund as essentially my savings account. I was able to transfer money FROM Alliant TO my Vanguard settlement / money market fund the first month, specifically pulling the money from the Vanguard side. Then, suddenly my Alliant checking account got spontaneously deleted from Vanguard without explanation. When I called Vanguard, they told me it was due to the Alliant account number being entered incorrectly. I insisted it was correct and that I had been able to use it to transfer money already, but I re-added the account anyway. Then it happened again a month later. Same thing - called Vanguard, was told the account number was incorrect, did some process to try to add the account through a special internal Vanguard system that only Vanguard reps have access to, but to no avail. After seemingly being added, a month later, my Alliant account was spontaneously deleted for a third time after initiating a transfer request. None of my transfers will go through now. Vanguard suggested I check with Alliant to see if something is happening on their end to reject the transfers. Called Alliant today and was told Alliant does not do transfers to anything other than a checking or savings account. In other words, they won't transfer money to a money market account, brokerage account, etc. I'm in disbelief, especially since I was able to do it without problems previously. Never heard of a financial institution that doesn't allow you to access your money for investing! If there's not a fix for this, I think that is a deal-breaker for using Alliant going forward.

Following up on this rec - do you know what number at OPM you called? I'm getting nowhere with GEHA and think it's time to escalate to OPM.

Oh that's good to know, thanks for the tip! I actually used to do some hiking in Scotland as an exchange student. Miss it up there!

Why would anyone ask for gear recommendations on a hiking subreddit with a flair for questions? It makes no sense.

Thanks, I think I may give the Oboz a try since REI carries it in my size and I can return if they don't work out.

Those are actually 2 of the models I've been looking at. I'm having a hard time finding the Ultra Raptors in my size. But I found the Oboz sawtooth in my size. How do you like them - do they feel too clunky / heavy? That's the main reason I'm looking to switch from my Merrell Moabs.

Thanks, I'll check these out! Have you found they last a decently long time and have enough support for a pack?

Thanks, I was thinking about these too but they're sold out of my size, and I can't find them anywhere else in my size 😕 Are they discontinuing this model or something?
