The empty Peli is about the same weight as Samsonite and Briggs-Riley hardshell bags of the same size. 9-12lbs depending on internals.

Sounds like what you really need is a Peli case. Lifetime warranty, tough to survive the apocalypse, and half the price.

But what about Bowie? Why his name being dragged through the mud

The narcissism on so many levels is such an adorable aspect of this every generation

Same thing happened in : 90s with Goths, 80s with New Wave , 70s with gender fluid androgyny, 60s with hippies, 50s with rock and roll… 20s with flapper girls.

The answer is nearly always Natural Fibres for two reasons:

• environmental - synthetic products do not degrade. Why wear something that literally microplastics everywhere you go and then gets thrown in a landfill at end of its use.
• comfort - breathability is the key criteria for clothing. Polyester and synthetic fabrics are nearly all terrible at this compared to natural fibres.

Merino wool is one of the best products, especially for warmth. You don’t have to pay Ice Breaker money, although it is becoming harder to find at affordable prices.

Linen is also a great fabric for warmer climates. Couldn’t imagine a polyester t-shirt, let alone underwear, if I lived somewhere hot.

Which parts of Europe is that?

Is it Germany where you can only buy shnitzel, sausage and cabbage in various different forms?

Or Italy, where they’re so proud of their food it’s basically illegal to serve anything that isn’t Italian?

Or France where spice and chilli is outlawed, only garlic and herbs allowed?

It’s true that a lot of traditional British food is bland, but there are way more Chinese, Indian, Thai, mexican, Italian restaurants in any town in England than you’ll find anywhere in Europe.

Dynamo lights do add resistance, but unless you’re racing, it doesn’t really make too much difference. The bigger hurdle is the high cost of the hub

Refrigerator posts are the worst. Some vintage electrical items, like Kitchen Aids, which are still manufactured and appear to be unchanged in design but actually use different quality components between versions, are definitely worth a discussion and, sure, perhaps the 1950s motors are way better than modern ones.

But refrigerators, microwaves, old stoves, etc. are rarely comparable to a modern energy efficient (and safe) appliance that people are actually looking to buy.

Agreed. And if it leads to furious discussion about suggesting vintage items, all the better.

This is the way

Wherever next?

Where did everyone go? I thought Lemmy was the new hangout but it still seems so small, even popular posts are only getting a handful of comments?

And killing the last of the dragons and stuff

Don’t know why everyone is so triggered on this thread. It’s a joke meme, sure. No, it doesn’t mean EVERYONE visiting is after a Thai bride, but come on… There is quite a bit of truth behind this too… Last time I was in Thailand, there were a lot of old white guys with girls on their 20s that would raise eyebrows in the US.

Yep definitely this. I was surprised that all the craft ales are like 10%! And there are lots of them!

Templater is the solution. It’s not that complex, just create a template and assign it a hot-key in options. Look up a few of the basic variables like “tp.date”.

I actually phoned a hotline on the back of a bag of salad once; “Contact us with comments or questions”. It was just a farmer. They said nobody had ever called it before.

I recommend people do thi more often.

Glad to see Altberg mentioned. I haven’t owned any of these yet, but the fact you can visit their factory and get fitted for a specific size says a lot. Next time I’m up North I’ll pay them a visit to get sized.

My current boots are Mammut GTX and I had 10 years of good use from them. Very durable. But I don’t think they make them anymore and they’re overkill for the walking I do now.

I agree. The magical feeling of being a student at Hogwarts soon evaporated as soon as you got a broom and didn’t really need to visit Hogwarts again and instead just fight endless random enemies, which gets pretty easy as you level up.

I was also disappointed by the endless voice acting. There was so much pointless talking and you couldn’t really control the outcome, all options seemed to result in a positive outcome when I just wanted to be a badass Malfoy but you’re not allowed, you jave to be a goody goody Hermione, juat in Slytherin clothes.
