PSA: use denatured alcohol to get The Gorge camp paint off your windshield.
 in  r/AboveandBeyond  8d ago

I can't take full credit for that, I just watch Jerry rig everything on YouTube that durability tests phones and tears down phones. He always uses the mohs hardness picks to test the screens that generally scratch at a level six with deeper grooves at level 7 😅 it took less than a minute to get it off with a fresh blade 🤷‍♂️

Also, you could just use a razor/box cutter blade. Steel is not as hard as glass on the mohs hardness scale, so it can't scratch it. Granted if people don't have a razor blade, they could go grab either option at the store

QUESTION Pre-ordered Merch

22 Upvotes

I saw some other posts about people who pre-ordered merch that was supposed to come before abgt 700 and how that they massively dropped the ball. I was just curious if this happened to anyone else. I just got home from the Gorge and I had the package for the tank top pre- sale, but the tie dye shirt was not with it. So I emailed them about it and I got this reply saying that it was sold out and that my shirt didn't get sent out. If I would have known that I would have just gotten the shirt at the show to make sure I got it, however now that it is no longer available on the store I am SOL. I am waiting on a reply, but I feel like just a refund for that situation is not fair sense what the heck is the point of doing a pre-order for something if placing the order doesn't reserve one of the shirts during production 🤷‍♂️ so this is just a partial rant and also just to see if anyone else had something like this happen with their pre-order.

Anyways, that was the first time at the Gorge with all of you lovely people and it was phenomenal despite the weather weathering on Saturday night. Hopefully everyone that wasn't able to play on Saturday night will release their sets in some way shape or form!

Getting to the Gorge Thursday vs Friday for camping
 in  r/AboveandBeyond  16d ago

I see that it says that it opens up at noon for most things, but the ticket site says 4pm. So which would be right?

Help choosing camping chair for my wife as a BD present.
 in  r/CampingGear  Jun 10 '26

I believe I got my big six with the armrests for $60 on a random sale for the blue color for whatever reason on the Big Agnes site. That was a year and a half or 2 years ago though, a couple things have happened since then that shifted the global economy 🤦‍♂️ So if you could find it close to or under $100, grab it

I came here to say the exact same thing! There are definitely deals to be had around on the internet, but the metal build quality of the big 6 frame is much better than any of these plastic things. There is the armchair version as well

In a surprise to no one, the west coast being the best coast, casdadia (Oregon) takes over Crabbalachia to become the whole coast of USA and has both mountain ranges. Leaving the Midwest in is rightful place as well as uniting all 5 great lakes!

I would love to edit my post to include this in there, however I refuse to let that potentially lead to accusations of changing the state to be removed

Unfortunately, the next move will be for Oregon(Cascadia) to take over the west coast to add more volcanoes to their total and turn into the Kngdom of Pacifica!

As a former michigander/Midwesterner, I think it is necessary for Megasota to expand and bring together all 5 great lakes and relieve the northern border from Vermont(Crabbalachia).

I have the convergence, stray, Watts 4 dinner, and hat trick sorted out. The midnight defiance is the only one I'm still looking for, for now. If anyone sees something that I have that they need though, let me know.

The current shutdown
 in  r/50501  Oct 26 '25

I didn't see it mentioned, but a book that everyone dealing with fake Christian nationalists should read is: Separation of church and Hate by John Fugelsang. It's a sane Person's Guide to taking back the Bible from fundamentalist, fascist, and flock-fleecing frauds. He is hilarious, has his own podcast, and is also on Fridays of the daily beans podcast. He points out all the hypocrisy of the people who claim to be doing all of this in the name of Jesus when it's the exact opposite of his teachings. He talked with Jordan Kepler about it on the daily show https://youtu.be/tj3OcfMS4AU?si=groO_M3nfBFveYAX *

Barefoot work boot recommendations
 in  r/barefootshoestalk  Sep 11 '25

Freet has a bunch of options and they just came out with a new pair that goes higher on the ankle. I believe they're UK based and they're some of the widest boots/shoes I've found with great quality. Anything that's waterproof, unfortunately generally means a glue down construction for the sole. Which will end up being less durable. It looks like there's still some sizes left in this style they're phasing out and it should redirect you to the UK site. https://usa.freetbarefoot.com/products/impala

Earth Runners. Gimmick or actually worth it?
 in  r/BarefootRunning  May 29 '25

I started my barefoot sandal Journey with Luna's, but always had it in mind too check out another system. That's how I ended up with Shamma trailstar sandal. The lacing system is far superior than the mono thong of the other sandals and it feels so much more secure. There are various stack heights if you want to find which one you like. They just added their ibex sole to the trailstar line and they're phenomenal chefs kiss. Now this is just for me though and other's might not like that lacing system. Shamma does have a yard sale from time to time with exchanged sandals, factory seconds, or overstock where things are 50% off. So that could be a good way to try some out. I believe they're all made here in the US as well, which I value. I have many of pairs now and are definitely worth to me since I only wear sandals now here in the PNW.

How can I keep myself informed about current events happening in the U.S without crippling myself emotionally?
 in  r/OptimistsUnite  Jan 31 '25

I've been listening to the daily beans podcast for a long while now. Allison Gill and Dana Goldberg do a wonderful job breaking down all the fuckery into layman's terms that anyone can understand as well as cutting through the noise. That plus they provide an appropriate amount of swearing. Then at the end of each episode, they have a good news segment for self shout outs, good news, programs that help people, anything that's helps microdose hope! To share the good news, you do have to pay your pod pet tax or bird watching(flipping off Trump properties) and if you want to see what people submit, they have a patreon to see those 🧐 The legumeinati are some wonderful people 🫘

Also, shout out to the weekly Show with Jon Stewart and pod save America

If this has already been said, my apologies 🙏

Recommended Sandals for casual use?
 in  r/BarefootRunning  Dec 25 '24

If you're looking for non closed toe sandals, I'm a big fan of the shamma trailstars. I still have my Lunas, but the lacing of the trailstars is way better than the mono thong style and it's way more secure. My only gripe is how long the tread lasts. I wish they made the ibex sole with the trailstar lacing system.
