Pirate ship should be able to work its magic. I shipped skis+bindings earlier this year within state for $22. Just sent a 48lb oversize package--38x22x15 which is way more than 50lbs in "dimensional weight"--1500 miles across the country for $80.

You do want to minimize dimensions...

FYI--The batteries on the Rav4 Prime aren't actually that big. It is workable to charge them from a normal 120V outlet/extension cord.

You'll still get a full charge overnight from a normal outlet and since it is still a hybrid, even if you aren't fully charged, it won't stop you from going...

Pretty much just pick the size you want and go with it.
The hybrid rav 4 is pretty good, plug in version even better (but maybe not worth the upcharge).

Venza seems overpriced for just being a rav4 in a wannabe lexus body with less cargo space. Rav4 is more practical and utilitarian...

Actually, I think this is just a side effect of having 200 threads shown at a time. Just too much crap and it either doesn't get cached or takes forever to reload and is thus noticable.

It should be 20 threads at a time. 10 was too few, but 20 or so should be plenty....

When I swipe back to the thread list on my phone, it insists on reloading the whole page rather than just showing me the old page that was there a minute ago before I clicked on and read a thread.

i don’t think it did this a week or two ago and since the site is running slower and has...

Yeah, it is great as long as you are either willing to switch it to use T-bolts, or are planning to just leave it on all season with the crappy stock clamps. The fancier boxes have all kinds of tool-free adjustment and clamping, but with the T-bolts, it takes me FAR longer to put the crossbars on...

I run a sportrack horizon alpine when I have a box on:
https://www.amazon.com/SportRack-Hor...00BCLL7C6?th=1 Used to be cheaper, but $399 seems like a fair price post-Inflation+tariffs

Cheap low-frills box: no fancy mounting system, no fancy features, but...

Alright, pulled the trigger on the P1S with the AMS2 Pro.

Added a couple spools of PLA and a couple of spools of PETG-HF since they were giving you the max bulk discount if you bought with the printer. Unclear if PETG-HF is really what I want vs a normal PETG--looks like it might not...

Which printer made the binding jig plates you just sent me? Those look pretty good....

Airsoft seems like one of those things that would be fun in theory…but then you realize you have to do it with airsoft people....

The red circle template for vipec/tecton should be fine....

Bambu has been having a big sale (especially on their outgoing models). https://us.store.bambulab.com/pages/...campaign=BFCM1

P1S for $400. P1S with the AMS 2 Pro for $600 (if you choose the cheaper buffer option). Good prices...

Is anyone surprised it is a cluster fuck that even businesses and their lawyers can't figure out how to navigate?

Yeah, I’m on team tub.

Useful in injury situations too…you can use it for cold soaking, hot soaking, wet soaking a wound, etc.

has utility use for cleaning, dying, among other things. Unless you have a massive laundry sink or something, it is really nice to have a big...

Monster has 6000+ employees according to Wikipedia.

They almost certainly insure under an ASO (administrative services only) plan, which means that monster actually pays all employee and family insurance costs out of pocket. They just contract with someone like Cigna to administer the...

Fall in the valley, but looking like winter in Glacier Park...

i was especially wondering about the foreign competitors from countries with universal healthcare…if it happened at home they’d be fine, if it happens here they start a $500k gofundme.


I saw somewhere else that the freeride world tour requires insurance for competitors (and...

Since images seem to be working again...I build this 7' picnic table this summer.


Cribbed off a few designs. Goal was no exposed fasteners, big chamfers on all the bottom edges to reduce visual weight, and a wide flat cross brace underneath rather than the vertical boards a lot of...

Yes it is an AI trash website that even has an AI summary at the top of its AI trash article....

ptex1 hooked me up with a sweet pair of Enforcer Unleashed 94s plus clamps for my dad so he can stop borrowing my touring skis.
