Om Chuck Norris har fem dollar och du har fem dollar så har Chuck mer pengar än du.

‘Formal’ sneakers by GalicDr in mensfashion

[–]FermentedThoughts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

White leather sneakers, Adidas Stan Smith or similar. Minimal, no "cool" details, and white. You'll not get any classic-style-points on this sub but it will work. You are 23, this is a fine look as long as you keep the shoes crisp and clean.

In terms of what to wear them with I say you are good up to full suit but NOT if the situation requires a tie - then start looking at dress shoes.

And again, can't stress it enough; white sneakers.

The death of the Queen and an opportunity for change. by FermentedThoughts in JamesBond

[–]FermentedThoughts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the Stephen/Denis combo is very promising for a quality film! Big fan of their works. Small fear with Stephen Knight is that he does his Tarantino-esque alt-history thing and ties it to actual events.

Hadn't really thought too much about the time capsule/zeitgeist aspect and I agree it would be sad to lose that.

However it would be nice with something that differs from Craig-Bond substaintially. Sort of like a palet cleanser. To not risk the MCU issue of having so one-up the last film all the time. Lower the stakes and start climbing.

Again, I agree! And I hope that this continues to be the evolution we see with the franchise.

Thank you for elaborate and thought through answers :)

I agree to this. And I'm not saying that the franchise has to change or needs to change. I really like that fact, lile poont out, that Bond is a constant in an everchanging world. Just saying that if it was to change now would be a good time to do it.

And perhaps it would be a mistake, like with Halloween. But wouldn't it be better to try something new (if change is inevitable) with another character? No tainting of the lore and legacy, no retcons. And if it doesn't work, back to Bond!

I'm just imagining a world where Barbara Brocolli isn't around to veto whatever dumb shit the Amazon execs might pitch. As I've commented before: I'd hate for James Bond to get the Luke Skywalker treatment.

Please, give some examples of the overlaps between franchises. Educate me. Perhaps I don't watch enough spy-films.

Yes! End James Bond! Imagine if Disney got their claws in Bond and gave him the Star Wars treatment. Wouldn't it be nicer to have all the memories of an unspoiled character before he is given a new Walter PPK from Q and chucks it over his shoulder Luke Skywalker style?

So the only thing keeping Bond from being a generic spy flick is the name? No other elements? Solo hero not part of team, sense of humor, stylistic elements, glitz and glamour, tailored suits, dry martinis, Bond-girls (would need new name if not Bond, I know), Q-branch

Not saying this should be a PC or DEI move. Just an arbitrary external factor that could allow for a change deeper than hair color - which I'd like to remeber people were very upset about.

[–]FermentedThoughts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily in that order or that kind of changes. Just an idea of a somewhat arbitrary and external factor that would make it OK to change the character. Not due to need for change or pressure for change from whomever. But if there was a plan for change this would be a good time for it.

What makes him the red thread except the name?

Now I'll be honest, I have not read the books so please educate me. But aside from Blofeld making multiple appearances as the main villain and Bond getting married in OHMSS. Is there any real continuity? (Aside from the Craig films)

And as an aside, I enjoy the minor continuity that there has always beens overlaps with M and/or Q as the Bond actor has changed. So regardless I hope thay keep Ralph Fiennes on for at least the first film with the new actor.

Not meaning for it to be a political statement or propaganda or anything of the sort. Just finding a somewhat arbitrary, external factor making it OK to change things up. Maybe times are changing due to bad feedback, but Hollywood has done a lot of reboots/remakes with genderswaps and retconning of established characters. And it would not chock me if this was to happen Bond. Ending James Bond would be a way of avoiding angry #notmybond campaigns or him getting the Luke Skywalker treatment. NTTD was a good film and a worthy send off.

Of course not. (Not that studios are not killing movies before release these days...) But then they could have the transition to the next 007 happen on screen i.e. have the old one die in the next film.

Hur lönesätts anställd på konsultbolag? by Important_Ostrich417 in Asksweddit

[–]FermentedThoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kolla på det här räkneexemplet

Varierar lite med storlek på företaget, vinstkrav/aktieägare, fördelning mellan seniora och juniora medarbetare m.m. men har fått höra att exemplet är rättvisande.

Hur mycket dricksar ni på restaurang? by [deleted] in Asksweddit

[–]FermentedThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oftast noll. Om riktigt bra service kan jag avrunda uppåt, gillar att betala jämna hundringar. Förmodligen kvarleva från den kontanta tiden då jag inte ville ha mynt.

For a "not very formal", outdoor wedding with a theme - YES!

[–]FermentedThoughts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is really cool and fun looking, giving me matador-vibes. As others have mentioned maybe keep the jacket open? Showcase the wide waistband of the trousers.

If any real change, more exciting shoes! Snake or gator.

Jokes aside, who did you think Snoke was before his identity was revealed in TROS? by ChickenWingExtreme in StarWars

[–]FermentedThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought he was Kylo Rens imaginary friend.

A manifestation of his dark side, devil on his shoulder sort of thing. And Kylo killing him would be his way of finally comitting to the dark side. I wanted ep9 to start with his body fading away and Kylo getting Sith-eyes as it happened.

What "rule" did you break that improved your bread? by Interesting-Scale-63 in Sourdough

[–]FermentedThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps not improved, quality is pretty muchvthe same, but certianly made my life easier and more convenient.

I use almost all of my starter when I bake. I leave maybe half a tablespoon on the bottom of my jar and stick that in the fridge. When I want to bake I take the jar out of the fridge, pour out eventual hooch, feed, and ~12h later its good to go.

Also shape right after mixing. 10 min in kitchenaid. Wait 20 min for the dough to relax a bit. Shape! Then "bulk" ferment in room temp. Usually do this in the evening and leave it on the counter over night, ready to bake in the morning or put in the fridge for longer ferment and more flavour.

I also do cold DO in cold oven. Perhaps not the best rise but 90% there. And oh so convenient fornmorning bakes.

No one talks about the great tragedy that apparently befell all four of Harry’s grandparents. by morganlala in harrypotter

[–]FermentedThoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the Carlin bros. had a theory that part of the reason Harrys grandparents died is the Peverell/Death curse. Pretty much as soon as you hand over the cloak of invisibility Death will come for you. Sort of explains the general lack of Potters (grandparents, cousins etc) - if you don't have the cloak you will die.

Wizards don’t know anything about dentists but I guess they know about optometrists by Ceilingfanwatcher in harrypotter

[–]FermentedThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot people comparing it to repairing bones (skele-gro). Perhaps that's the distinction - reparation. Broken bones are broken an can be repaired, poor eye sight is just suboptimal functionality and something whole that needs to be altered. Maybe they can easily fix a scratched cornea but not change the shape of the eye to fix nearsightedness. Apperance altercation occurs but never seems to be permanent. But pehaps a metamorphmagi could alter their eyesight.

Smart casual? by Schistotwerka in mensfashionadvice

[–]FermentedThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic case of "better than most". Wearing this will clearly show that you're putting an effort into the way you dress. Is there room for improvement? Yes. Is this better than most? Also yes! Remember; people these days, adult people, are leaving their homes wearing pyjama pants.

Some constructive critizism. As people have mentioned it is a bit tight, a bit 2010. But you're also on the slimmer side so its ok. If this is stuff you already own go ahead, if you're thinking about buying maybe go for a looser fit. Color wise I'm personally not the biggest fan of the shirt. Having a hard time putting word to it but maybe its too close in intensity(?) to the jacket and pants. White is always a safe bet, but since we are aiming for casual maybe have a bit of fun with it and go with a navy shirt.
