That is part of the beef against Backcountry dot com. If you have ever ordered anything from them, buried in the fine print, you waived any right to a class action suit.

Surely a lawsuit is in order: “goats”, “backcountry”

I'm on board with not shopping at backcountry.com, but
"arduous conversions"? lol

Arduous when you have to do it 10+ times to figure out if it'll fit my lunch or gear for a week. I'm not making a fucking spreadsheet to figure out how big each pack is.


And if they changed it back to liters by now, oh well, fuck 'em all the same. And fuck all y'all jumping to their defense on this, you know you don't want to convert the units, either. Unless your dad works at Goldman Sachs.

Certainly you couldn't decide what range of a pack size you want in liters, do the conversion of that range to cubic inches once (if you can spare the 30 seconds of time), then look for that range in cubic inches.....

Figuring out how one manufacturer's pack volume compares to another manufacturer's pack of the same volume (given the variability between brands) is more time consuming I would think. I'm not denying that metric is a superior system, but come on, it's not exactly calculus to figure this shit out. And why you hate murica? lol

That range in liters wasn't there when I last looked there. And why are you still defending them? Because I'm not complaining how you are?

[3PinGrin]

You should convert those to cubic inches. I wasn't defending them, I was laughing at your "arduous" comment. Maybe you are working with an abacus.

And yes, to hell with backcountry.com

I miss backcountry.net, personally.

[harpo]

Good details with one of the people getting sued:
https://wintrymix.podbean.com/e/73-d...y-gets-served/

I let bc.com know they were being dicks and would stop buying stuff from them until the bullshit was done.

Stop forever - no one will ever learn until one is destroyed.

Maybe they should trademark backcuntry.

I've tried 3 times over the last 10 days to have my account removed and although each time they say it'll happen the next day it still has not been deleted.

Each reaction and "apology" has been a reaction to their consumer, not a change in beliefs....

That’s a serious lunch

I never go skiing without at least 100 cubic inches of lunch.

[powdrhound]

I never go skiing without at least 100 cubic inches of lunch.

But how many liters?

[Alpinord]

I never go skiing without at least 100 cubic inches of lunch.

How do you convert cubic inches and liters to cubic sandwiches?

[toast2266]

How do you convert cubic inches and liters to cubic sandwiches?

Well obviously that's impossible. If you try to convert cubic inch-liters into volumetric sandwiches, everyone knows that results in dividing by negative zero, and your lunch quotient will go to plaid.

[zartagen]

What's the conversion between hoagies and grinders?

[garyfromterrace]

There's also Cuban Lunches (I hear that chocolate bar is making a comeback..), they are very small though (perhaps 0.333 of a cubic sandwich).

And then there is the Cuban Lunch Sandwich (which would = 1 cubic sandwich if packed correctly I would assume).

.... Unless your dad works at Goldman Sachs.

Have to admit, he's got us there.

But seriously, you carry a phone most times right? And it doesn't have a rotary dial?

[jarlybart]

sidecountry.com droppin in 3, 2, 1....

This...boom and dropped!

[happytimefunbox]

What about ski hills? Are there some that should still be avoided or boycotted (no prejudice to the decent staff that work there)?

Start with Snowbird

Agreed. Most unethical resort in the Wasatch.

report their useless shitty spam as spam.

every day this gets better and better as a case study in "how can we fuck up more and more and more because we are a specialty retailer who doesn't really know who are customers are, or give a fuck about them, but we've pretended too ever since the dumbcunt private equity GSAs bought us"
