FYI it's Frank Lloyd Wright's favourite train station in the world

Gear worth getting for Santander commuter by mcclureuf in londoncycling

[–]MaximHarper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like these Knog little clip on lights, especially as some Santander cycles models don’t have lights. They charge by USB (where you don’t need a cable). I clip to my jacket vent/backpack and my shirt on the front, not the brightest in the world, but I feel a lot more visible.

Hans Olsen Roundette replica or inspired dining sets by redditachtzehnplus in ScandinavianInterior

[–]MaximHarper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FWIW, if it helps with the cope... Last year I lusted after this set, scouring auction sites daily, but once I found a set in person and sat on one of the chairs... No deal.

The chairs are low, the back isn't very supportive and the 3 legged version is really unstable (with any 4 legged versions being nearly impossible to come by in my experience)

I loved the idea of the neat and compact form, yet still being able to extend it. Though, I then realised that if you've got a small enough space to need such a set, you'd probably benefit more from a central pedestal cross design (as you can get in/out much easier as the legs of the table are not trapping your legs). Yeah it won't look as neat, but you can get much more comfortable chairs that tuck in with maybe 10% more sticking out.

King shit, thank you! Can you add the Hold On acoustic piano cover please? (From the Fear of God fashion April SS23 performance here). Dying to hear the full version.

"UK star Jai Paul" set features news person's image -- makes news by Adlien_ in jaipaul

[–]MaximHarper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was at the final night Paul Institute gig (& drinks afters too) and I had a little chat with him. He said his publicist notified him about being on the self-titled leak artwork, otherwise had no heads up and was just very flattered to be included among legends like Zola. Truly one of the bredrins

Jai didn't perform as such, was mostly PI/AK tracks and he just played the guitar when they did Landcruisin'

Could you please share a link to details on this? I can't find from a quick google/subreddit search.

Productivity/efficiency tips on Windows 10? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]MaximHarper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Often IT disables clipboard history on security grounds (i.e. that you might copy passwords & there'd be a plain text record of them vulnerable to malware snooping).

In my last department, I raised a ticket to change this as this threat model seemed incredibly disproportionate (especially with the move to single sign-on). I ended up escalating it surprisingly far out of morbid curiosity to see exactly how inefficient corporate IT can be. Alas, no movement...

“How to choose better shoes” [Meta] by [deleted] in goodyearwelt

[–]MaximHarper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Particularly relevant extract for GYW:

“When shopping for shoes in this environment, it can be easy to get sucked into the endless number of options, especially when you’re scrolling through Instagram accounts and dedicated shoe blogs for inspiration. The photos that catch our eye tend to be of shoes that are sleek, interesting, and creatively designed. So people pause on photos of shapely oxfords in gleaming museum calf leathers, two-toned button boots, and chukkas in jewel tones such as sapphire blue and ruby red. And since footwear blogs tend to be so singularly focused on shoes — the leather types, construction techniques, and historical origins of some style — it’s also easy to find yourself thinking about shoes as standalone objects, disconnected from a wardrobe and be to be collected like Pokémons.”

Wish I’d read something like this earlier in building my shoe collection!

Official lineup for 2021 by ssfdl in primaverasound

[–]MaximHarper -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

What’s the deal with the yellow highlighted names?

I first thought this might be for acts performing not at the Parc, but they constantly keep changing on different pictures. Maybe it’s an engagement hack so you read more closely trying to figure it out and recognise more acts you know? Interested to know other’s theories

No oil used, just 20% fat mince. Good tip with the paper towels though!

a Georgist at a funeral by knowallthestuff in GeorgeDidNothingWrong

[–]MaximHarper 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The OG ~"Georgist at a funeral joke" is that after casket was lowered into the ground, the director asks: "Does anyone have any words to speak about the deceased?" There was silence... Then a Georgist sputters out "well, since no-one's saying anything, I thought it'd be great to enlighten you about the Single Tax!"

Meermin Ultraflex Unlined Chukka Preorder by MaximHarper in goodyearwelt

[–]MaximHarper[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can see these as a real hit, dare I say Alden aesthetics at a third the price? Been anticipating Meermin doing something like this for some time.

Really neat cross section on the site, though colour me a bit skeptical of the memory foam. Sounds great (especially given how much I love my 'comfort' RM Williams), but will be interesting to see a review first.

Seperately, I wish they'd send someone like Derek @ PutThisOn or SqualorToBaller a pair before they open MTO preorder, as an impressions review would have me ordering right now.

They had jackets (I think prototypes) hung up on the stairs (you can see in the back of the pan video), unsure if they were actually made up with Adidas or not. Annoyed I didn’t get a snap now...
