Just had my intuition wrap liners fitted. Everything is great but what the hell is the little string for? How can they expect me to cinch down the wrap with a little Velcro tab? Am I doing this wrong? It just rips off when I try to tighten it. Anyone could link me to an intuition video on what these are exactly, I would greatly appreciate it.
My dad gave me his old board from when he was a kid. It didn’t have wheels so I put some soft cruisers on it. Should there be grip tape on it?
Just recently had my crappy stock liners tear while putting the boot on and taking it off. New boots, skied 1 day in my Roxa Element 120 at mondo 26.5, very snug great fit yadda yadda. I ski freestyle/park and have also been on my dry slope/rail in my back yard frequently. On the recommendation of “Ben” (who I now believe to be Intuition’s crappy AI) who I’ve been emailing back and forth, I received my Tour Wrap liners 12mm at 26/26.5. Extremely bulky right into the boots everywhere especially over the top of my whole foot, even tighter with my insole in there. The tongue of the shell will not sit properly/seems to be a gap now between the shell and grey shell tongue that wasn’t there before. I can’t even buckle any of the clasps. I don’t wish to deal with their AI assistant anymore but I’m not sure what to do. Ben is telling me to return my liners and either try the downhill tongue 9mm or tour wrap 9mm. I’m stuck now because I have a heat molding appointment coming up. I also ready somewhere that these liners can feel bulky right out of the package and it improves with heat molding.
Any advice?
(My boot fitter doesn’t carry Intuition so not sure they can help me choose which one)
These Roxa Element 120s have been skied in on real snow for one day. I have been using them on my home ski rail though for maybe 20 hours of use. The stitch must have broken in the inner liner of the liners lol. Is this an easy fix? I suspect the heat may have weakened something but my previous boots (atomic hawx100) held up fine in 90+ Fahrenheit+direct Sunlight. But I didn’t think they’d broke so easy. How can I stich it up myself correctly? I do have have some intermediate sewing skills.
Any help is appreciated!
My 2008 Volvo V70 makes noise almost all the time. A slightly bumpy road will make the suspension sound like a braying donkey. Posted here is me driving on a very bumpy road to hear the noise. I had the car inspected by a local shop who specificalizes in Volvo. They didn’t say anything about the noise and basically said it wasn’t a problem. They’re respected but I’d like to know why it sounds like this and if it’s worth fixing or not.
I’m mildly versed in car stuff- do my own fluid changes, brake jobs, and some other minor things. Have a lift available but not sure what to even look for. Any insight is appreciated.
Five or so years ago, I had gotten two pairs of
Vivos. I like them a lot and wore them out. I was in the market for a new pair, but I had read many reviews that Vivo quality has gone down in the past two years (cheap glue with mid soles coming apart). This led me to Wildling, a brand that I had researched before getting my previous pair of shoes. This Tanuki Yoru has been great, but after a couple weeks, I noticed that the left shoe only has a very small raised area underneath the ball of my foot almost directly where that orange colored part of the soul is in the picture. I compare it to standing on one or two US $.25 pieces. Has anyone had this type of issue? The shoes are very comfortable other than that, I wear them for 12 hours a day and I do start to notice the small lump under my left foot. I’m not super keen on contacting the company to give me a new pair since it’s been a few weeks, I’d rather try to fix it myself somehow.
Mildly disappointed
DISCLAIMER- I understand it’s a public space but I try to be cognizant of my surroundings if I ever play music myself in public. I usually only play my own speaker if we’re far away from others.
Chilling on the beach with my wife currently in Fenwick state Park beach, Delaware USA on July 4th. We have a season pass so came here thinking it would be a bit less crowded. And came here early too like 7:30. It was nice and quiet but at 8;30 a couple showed up right next to us and I saw they brought a large speaker, like 16” cabinet so I thought oh great here we go. I went for a run and swim then laid down and was dozing off when this lush R&B “background” music starts to play. I’m laying on my towel and feel the bass in the sand. I do not dislike the music, in fact it’s really nice and I’d listen to it myself but it’s pretty high volume. WIBTAH to complain that it’s too loud?
I also don’t hear or see anyone else playing music on a speaker. I’m not even asking the guy to turn it off but I’ve never seen a speaker this big on a public beach.
TLDR- nice, inoffensive, instrumental R&B on the beach is very loud 10 feet from us. WIBTAH to complain or am I a curmudgeon?
UPDATE: It’s now high noon and the man and women are still here with loud music that has since changed to different types of music, not modern pop tho. He placed the speaker on his chair, facing the ocean so he can bask in the water whilst the tunes flow offshore over him.
Wife (F29) and I (M29) have had our share of hardships, have been together 7 years now, married for 2.5. Her psychosis after our wedding was shocking to us. She was admitted to inpatient with SI and was compliant with care and meds. Eventually went off meds only after maybe less than a year. Went through several educated jobs but quit each one saying people were saying things about her at each one. Now she can’t work at all. We got pregnant earlier this year in the middle of some downs through this past winter. But things got bad in her depression, stress, not eating. We decided to terminate the pregnancy because she wasn’t eating or sleeping. That was traumatic for both of us but her moreso. Then the hallucinations and psychosis came and she was admitted again but this time she’s a different person. Hardly talked throughout the hospital stay and was uncomfortable and scared, noncompliant with meds. Never signed a release of info so we were left in the dark about most of her care. How can they keep information from her husband when she’s confused/302? Doesn’t make a lick of sense. She’s been home a few weeks now and will not go see a psychiatrist/therapist and believes her prescription is fake and won’t take anything. It’s been extremely difficult and frustrating for both of us. Her delusions include both our families conspiring to make her feel crazy. The voices in her head become unbearable sometimes and she gets very upset. What can I do? Shes told her family and I several times she hates us but still loves us. I don’t want to let go of this, in sickness and in health is what I swore no matter how much she doesn’t believe me. I just want her to be okay. I need support so that I can continue to support her
