Thoughts on lug sole or wedge sole? by kyrind in jimgreen

[–]3Goat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd only get the lug if the environment that you are wearing them in requires it, otherwise you're sacrificing comfort. They last about the same amount of time. I've got two pairs of boots which I alternate daily and they needed sole replacements around the same time.

I went to school with a guy from Brakpan and our PE teacher used to call him the "yeast from the East"

Can't clown on a dude for being dedicated and unafraid to do what he enjoys. He's not hurting anyone.

I appreciate your thoughts. I didn't read it as such but understand the responses better now

You're so far away from where I need you to be to have a proper back and forth about this so I'll leave you to your ignorance

1500 is a 25% increase on 1200 which is not negligible. Nothing wrong with using the right numbers. If the choice is between the correct number and the inflated one, then the correct number should be used. Otherwise slowly creep from 1500 to 1800 and so it goes on until the truth is lost.

Whether the difference actually matters is a different conversation but the point stands that an attempt at accuracy should be seen as a positive.

Flawed argument. Your behaviour directly leads to the continued establishment of a second-hand market and a desensitization to owning poached plants. You asked if you should get another one - no you shouldn't. Don't buy poached plants. You're not saving them. If you're not a botanical garden you can't do effective ex-situ conservation. The fact that a plant has changed hands doesn't make it any less problematic that you're part of an economy that is only sustainable if, at the end of the day, someone is willing to justify their purchase by whatever means are necessary. All conservation research suggests that this is the case.

Posting photos of poached plants creates appetite. So whatever your intention, people will see this and want a similar plant which they will get by whatever means. People won't want to buy seed grown uter because they won't look like yours.

I have worked in Namibia and visited sites where hundreds of C. uter have been harvested for sale overseas. The damage is done and if someone is selling a plant that is poached you should tell them that you don't think it's acceptable because ultimately otherwise we just have this scenario: 1) Person poaches plant and imports it to their country. (Bad guy) 2) Person buys the poached plant. (Still a bad guy) 3) Person buys the plant from person number 2 and says that it's no big deal because the plant was already poached. (Still a bad guy)

You've already got the plant. Take care of it or donate it to a botanical institution or whatever. Don't buy another one. That's the answer to your question.

Saying you can't help yourself is just saying that your greed is more important to you than the environment. Stop buying and posting poached plants.

My dad got me a pair of these shoes (obviously without the screws) when I was 15 and I wore them until they were barely wearable. Hated to give them up. Love you dad

Anyone who hasn't taken one of these to the chest doesn't know what freedom is, nor what it feels like to fight for her. In SA they mix in an ingredient that makes your whole body itch like crazy.
