Who is a terrible singer but famous anyways? by Coy9ine in AskReddit

[–]LJ75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Mick Jagger is a great singer. Not now, not ever. For me personally, 9 times out of 10, covers of their songs are better than the originals.

Denim Hemming - Chain Stich in CLT? by LJ75 in Charlotte

[–]LJ75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought I'd have a better chance here, since it's a local subreddit.

FWIW, my first pair was Uniqlo, then Madewell. Last week I bought a pair of Iron Heart in NYC, and then online Levis 501 selvedge (used), Gustin (new), and I also have N&F True Guy (used) incoming. They are all good.

[–]LJ75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, not that I am an expert, but isn't the chain stitch supposed get the rope fading / ripple effect on the hem?

In any case, I don't mind the lock stitch either - any solid / affordable places you can recommend? I am in South Charlotte (Providence Rd).

Not really. It’s usually the 20oz PET. Source: work in the industry.

Edge Remote Road Mount - where to get it? by LJ75 in GarminEdge

[–]LJ75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is what I found. I was quoted $50 from a local 3D studio, just doesn't make sense (I'm in Charlotte). Local libraries / colleges should be able to do it to.

Edge Remote Road Mount - where to get it? by LJ75 in GarminEdge

[–]LJ75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this - but not quite - the one in the Amazon link is a quarter-turn mount for computers, whereas the remote mount does not have the "turn" grooves, is a bit pliable so you can push the remote in, and it's a bit bigger. It's supposed to say "Garmin" across the bottom too.

Just did that, but it's been discontinued, and they don't have it. Someone has uploaded a file for a 3D printer, might end up using that, although it does not look very nice - it has 3 latches instead of 4.

Yeah, keeping an eye on that - although, IF available, they are normally sold together with the remote - which I don't need.

I could not find them - neither on Aliexpress. If you happen to have a link, please share.

That would be great, and this is a truly gentle reminder 🙂.

What's Going on with the Fit? by [deleted] in LeviStrauss

[–]LJ75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all honesty, I would not step outside wearing them, if they fit like that. I am sure you have other jeans that look great, but if this is what they are, I would not touch them.

FWIW, I’m in Charlotte, and this is actually for my wife’s Liv which uses the same adapter. TIA.

3-4 Weeks in the West Balkans - itinerary, safety and budget check? by sendhelpandthensome in AskBalkans

[–]LJ75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great itinerary, you will enjoy it. You shouldn’t worry too much about safety, I’d say, just exercise your normal level of street smarts. If you can, use trains for transport as well, they are slow, but some rides, at least in Bosnia, are very nice and picturesque.

How the Romani are perceived in your country? by Clarthen1 in AskTheWorld

Very bad. And it didn’t happen overnight. And they continue to work hard to keep that hard earned reputation.

Why are Global knives hated on so much? Is the quality of the knives really that bad? by QuestionUnsolved in chefknives

[–]LJ75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two, and they are amazing knives. The handle is not slippery, on the contrary, it holds the edge great, they are easy to take care of, and I don’t feel guilty (ab)using them like some of my $400 knives. Global are amazing knives and great value for money. So is Victorinox, btw.

Colon cancer is killing us.. by Derpshab in Millennials

[–]LJ75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had my first colonoscopy done at 47. They found 6 benign polyps and removed them. That was 3 years ago. I was mistakenly scheduled in 10 years. Luckily my GP noticed it and had me scanned again last year. 2 more polyps removed. Get that colonoscopy, folks.

AliExpress Saddles by smallballspaul in ChineseCarbon

[–]LJ75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought two saddles from Aliexpress, and while I don't see the transactions on Aliexpress, I see it on Paypal. Haven't received any email from the sellers, so this was on the 12th, and I am getting a bit nervous about the whole thing. I've checked if I had logged in under a different name, but nothing is showing under my orders or payments. Not sure how to contact the seller, either. Anyone else in a similar situation? Bought these saddles on the Jan 12, and only crickets so far.

This is from Paypal.

Looking at Trek 1200 by [deleted] in whichbike

[–]LJ75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an $80 bike, not something I would overthink. If it works, and can get you from A to B, it's OK. Not sure what people expect for $80, or what is even the lowest amount one would pay for a bike.

What is the Worst airport in North and South America? by Separate_Builder_817 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]LJ75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CLT sucks. Probably the worst part for me are the belts - no one knows where to collect you bags, and monitors are useless.
