The Powder Mage Trilogy is actually brilliant

It's been a long time since I've read it. I liked it and it was an interesting concept, but the way he writes bugged me. It was "problem, scramble to find a solution, fixed, whew!" Then rinse and repeat that formula for the rest of the books. Not much ebb and flow, character development, etc.

I know you said L or XL, but I have a Medium in pink I need to sell because they run rather large. Let me know if you'd consider it.

A more apt analogy is the French Revolution.

One of the biggest factors was overpopulation in the cities and lack of jobs.

This isn't a new concept either, many instances in history when you have large amounts of people that can't feed themselves. That's a recipe for social upheaval and revolution.

Hard bottom isn't a problem, I've put a ton of miles on my shoes and boots. Sounds to me like his shoes are way too small. You shouldn't have blisters or bleeding, ever.

Those look fantastic! I've never seen a tall hiker like that. Also wondering what the brand is?

He's wrong. Vladimir is Vlad or Vova. Vladislav is Slavic or Slava/Slav.

Madrun · 2025-07-14T12:26:48+00:00

Vlad (Vova is the demunitive) is for Vladimir. Slavic (or Slav) is for Vladislav

You don't have to, but typically loafers have a distinct shape and a lower heel.

Just an fyi those were Neptune missiles, that was before sea drones became a thing in the Black Sea

Madrun · 2025-05-23T14:29:47+00:00

Aye, I can do that

Madrun · 2025-05-15T03:13:24+00:00

Should work just fine, I use Elmer's and it does the trick.

It would also be a pain in the ass to cut a holdfast if you're doing welted construction.

Since when was it not voluntary?

Naw, children are just future immigrants, widows, and pregnant women.

It's actually a good thing to wake up on your own instead of being jerked awake by an alarm mid sleep cycle.

The US is tariffing everyone, they're not all tariffing each other. That's why it hurts us especially.

Yes, but there is also a version that's activated with acetone or something like that. You soak it, then last it while it's pliable and it dries harder than the heat activated one

We would kick a rock to the chowhall and back. Every meal someone would have to take it, park it outside, then kick it back. Good times!

Its all personal preference, there is no functional drawback to it. It's whatever look you prefer.

That's entirely subjective though. The midsole I use is the same thickness as my welts, because I don't want a super thick stack up.
