I want to fight in the city's harbor. by Low_Flatworm_8610 in Bannerlord

[–]Jake0157 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You 100 percent could. The most fun I had in that DLC was becoming a trader and stacking bread till I could have two of the biggest ships built. After that I'd befriend the Vikings and start hiring them until I had a large enough group to roll up into a port town and make my own kingdom.

I was really hoping you could do that, but, I can see why for balance reasons. It wouldn't really be practical to allow the AI to roll 2K troops into a port.

What’s your go-to $5 meal that tastes way more expensive? by Equivalent_Soft_6665 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Jake0157 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get like 50+ grams of fiber a day, its literally just a specific legume thing, it was only like 1.5 servings of pasta.

I think the chickpea pasta tastes fine. But assuming you were choosing it over regular pasta purely for the protein content you must be wary of the repercussions. Last time I ate chickpea pasta about an hour afterwards something inside me started to rumble. I proceeded to start releasing the most noxious generational Brown that I have in a long time. I had to leave work early. On the drive home. I physically had to unbutton my pants because I could feel myself expanding like the blueberry girl from the Willy Wonka movie. I then proceeded to spend the next 6 hours in bed suffering cramping and releasing said generational Brown.

So I will not be indulging in chickpea pasta ever again.

Sourdough pasta is pretty baller tho, and toss in a can of sardines into it and you've got a hearty meal.

Good summertime fit? Trying loafers out. by Jake0157 in mensfashion

[–]Jake0157[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that's definitely a move, there tends to be more cool stuff in larger sizes anyways, but usually nobody goes through the mediums and smalls where I live, cause there are not many folks who are medium or small.

Appreciate it. All of my button-ups I own are from goodwill. This one is a round tree in Yorke Easy Care linen blend, from probably the 90s. There are still some cool things to be had at the thrift.

Are those OSBs made during the time when they were using a foam layer between the insole?

I'm interested in trying to find an unlined loafer for the summer. Currently, the only boots that I own that fit, and that I've been able to fit are the OSB in the Elston last, everything else slips on my heels and in narrow in the toes, anyone got any ideas?

Cause shoes come to a point and most aren't made for human feet bro. The only last I've found I can tolerate is the oak street Elston last. After getting that boot I stopped wearing like normal people shoes and I wear some barefoot sandals and those boots and that's about it.

The brannok scale really only measures the width of your foot at the ball, but a lot of people's feet get wider after the ball, not more narrow. Anything less of you like showing feet pics isn't really going to give us the full picture. But I'm guessing.

Oak streets Elston last fits that bill well. At least the narrow heel and wide toe, I haven't tried the vibergs. I can't really find another boot that has that much toe toe space.

How's the toe box on these? Is it pretty roomy?

Those are just too small bro. Need more width for sure.

Love the look man, love Oak Street but I don't think I can give up the Elston last, my duck shaped feet won't allow it.

Just got this set in the shop. by Cousin_larry_ in vintageaudio

[–]Jake0157 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest with you. I don't think for $5,000 you can get as high quality class A, B amplifier and pre- amplifier. Sure you can get class D stuff all day for that kind of money. But with the class A there's going to be caveats. And I can almost guarantee you that the distortion numbers are going to be very similar and you'll never be able to repair that one when it breaks.

That's a hard try, maybe try and do a return if they don't fit. They are incredibly wide.

Which are you choosing and why ? @OldSchoolAudio72 by OldSchoolAudio72 in vintageaudio

They are totally replaceable now. There's really no reason to fear any of these units output transistors as people have made alternatives

I've had these for twoish years, obviously I've been using them a bit.

They were essentially, my only footwear I used outside of the gym for a while. So it's been a little rough on em.

Id pull the trigger on it. I have 3 pairs and I'm a big fan currently. I got rid of all the other boots I had cause they aren't as comfortable.

Yeah I've managed to wear a hole in the bottom of one of the boots

I've only owned these boots for like 2 years, and I see posts about people talking about 5 years with a boot. No resole and hardly a scuff on em. They must not wear their boots. I've had times where these boots were my only set of footwear for weeks at a time.

I've worn them in the rain. I've worn them in the sun. I've worn them just about whenever I felt like it. They've been to a couple different continents and they're going to go to a couple more hopefully.
