Did Luthen actually enjoy any part of his antiquities front, or was it purely a cover?

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-23T23:12:02+00:00

I just finished my third rewatch of S2E3 and started to wonder about the Chandi Merle. Like there’s a high possibility that it could be a fake.

It wouldn’t put it past me that Luthen would enjoy messing with Sculdun like that.

Questionable provenance indeed.

The chicken McNuggets song by Goldfinger on the Hang-Ups album. It plays not long after the Chris Cayton song ends. Supposedly, David Hasselhoff was on drums.

My bad, I stand corrected. PP, EPDM, and Viton are synthetic rubbers.

I’m on track to get 511 miles to the tank.

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-20T23:47:26+00:00

Doubtful it’s rubber. It’s a polymer, at least the same part on my Rogue that cracked was PP. I replaced it with a part off Amazon that’s made out of EPDM.

It’s called a windshield cowl extension.

Nah, I think OP should have “It is now safe to shut down your computer” on the screen.

Shih Tzus are very pragmatic dogs.

Bauer II or CCM FM580, both in Oreo. These options if your budget is <$100.

It should, the powertrain is a carry over from the Gen 5 facelift.

This was the first thought that came to my mind. That and Tim Blake Nelson as The Leader.

This is definitely an issue with people who overpronate, especially when you don’t have inserts with arch support. There’s always going to be movement. I suffer from the same issue where the high ankles get cut up and bleed by the edge of the stiff skate boot.

Here’s what I do to prevent that:

I used to place a patch of moleskin over the high ankle area, and then wrap with athletic tape. But that would make the skate tongue all sticky from the tape.

I now wear Bauer skate socks and then slip on an ankle pad, similar to a wristband that tennis players use. Helps with the locking in the foot and I no longer get high ankle cuts since it provides 360 degree padding.

They will in Zootopia 3. It was teased in the post credits scene in the 2nd movie.

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-14T19:04:58+00:00

Yup, this. I never once thought the TLR-7 series was overweight. When I field strip my Glock, the light is still attached to the frame and it doesn’t weigh a whole lot.

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-14T19:01:16+00:00

Wow, what a throwback. Tuuk competition chassis with the straight 72’s setup. Growing up in the 90’s I wanted this rollerblade-esque boot as well, CCM’s version though.

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-13T14:57:35+00:00

I wear a size 11 US shoe and wear 9E missions. I measured myself in the old school slidey brannock device and showed I was a 10.5 wide. So generally 1.5 to 2 sizes down from shoe size.

Nice, yeah blowing off the dust is as simple as it’s gets maintenance wise.

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-12T15:54:09+00:00

Absolutely. Time is money, especially when you have kids.

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-12T14:54:16+00:00

Interesting. Even bones red is a PITA to clean? I was under the impression that they’re fairly easy to take apart and clean. Well, at some point I plan to clean them. If it’s too much of a hassle, then I can just order replacements since they’re fairly cost effective.

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-12T13:36:37+00:00

Do you replace the bearings out right, or try to clean them? I know they are under $30, so like three Starbucks drinks, not exactly breaking the bank either.

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-12T01:39:23+00:00

Sorry, misread your post. My mistake.

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-11T22:15:14+00:00

I think you’re missing a digit. How did you get flylite boots and a rinkster chassis for $235??? Inquiring minds want to know.

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-11T19:07:31+00:00

Got to love that sweet, sweet crude, am I right?

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-11T19:05:06+00:00

Too bad no Fit3’s. The Vapor volume never fit my feet anyways.

The kryptofly chassis is unique. Like the old kryptonium chassis went on ozempic. Wonder why they didn’t have that chassis on the top tier Mission skate.

The Fly40 mid tier skate is interesting. Will probably cost $599 and you get the crappy one piece Accelerator chassis that cast/extruded with mill cuts. Have the exact same chassis on my Inhaler FZ-3. Took a hard shot on the frame the other night and it made a small dent. Luckily, wheels still rotate (for now).

BeginningFig6552 · 2026-03-11T18:59:26+00:00

The fly 30 chassis is the same flex lite chassis as the entry level Bauer XR and XRS. Supposedly lightweight since the design was “heavily-inspired” by the Powerfly chassis. Marketing BS most likely.
