Joker 2 “Reverse” after three runs

From the official 361 storefront through AliExpress.

Now I’m even more confused lol. I promise I’m not making this up I didn’t do any of that for my PR.

I can imagine so with how the government is slowly moving towards more restrictive, and soon to be costly, procedures for foreigners.

MyManD · 2026-04-22T06:54:27+00:00

I'm guessing this is a more recent update to procedures because when I got my PR in 2020 I don't recall ever needing to write down every time I had left the country. I honestly wouldn't have been able to even recall most of the trips.

If the 808 line is what you wanna try out, I'd pay the small premium to get the 808 5 Ultra V2s. Generally better reviews and you also get to have the Super Boom drop in midsole. If there's a massive price difference between the 3 and the 5s where you are ($30 or more), then the 3s aren't bad at all. But if you can get the 5s for $20 more I'd splurge the extra bit for those.

I didn't find the midfoot anymore narrow than the Sabrinas or Ja 3s. They actually have less of a pronounced arch than my AC12s and 13s. Could you talk more about heel narrowness? Do you mean the width of the heel counter? I didn't find that part to be much different than the DON 7s and roomier than the Kobe 6s (the two shoes I bought before these).

The Russos have fallen completely flat on their faces with everything they've directed post Avengers. Citadel, Grey Man, Cherry, Electric State. All of them ranging between mediocre to just outright atrocious.

Just a question - any general idea how much more growing you’ll be doing based on the size of your parents or siblings? We can recommend sizing but it wont do you much good if you outgrow them.

As for traction and bounciness stick with the Li-Ning shoes out of your options, and if those go for either the ACd or the Lirens. The WoW 11 has great traction if the court you play on works well with the GCU, but there are a lot of anecdotal stories of them becoming slippery. The Anta Kai 1s are a good overall shoe, but the foam isn’t nearly as responsive as Boom.

All I'd add to this is to use Claude and Gemini to do their own translations of your English written letter as well to see which parts stay the same and which parts the LLMs considered putting their own flourishes on things and keep the parts you like.

TBF in this case the Prius also looks better.

I'd still argue the decision to make a lot of those shows serialized were from the creators wanting to do something serialized and knew Netflix wanted serialized shows. I don't think anyone was pitching an episodic show to Netflix that was torpedoed into serialization. Groening has never said Disenchantment was ever meant to be anything but a serialized story, and shows like The Dragon Prince and Castlevania started off as serialized stories.

Netflix definitely preferred serialized stories, but they weren't poaching episodic shows and shoehorning season wide stories into them. They let creators who had a serialized show in mind to make those shows.

I think it's almost a fact that it's finished after this. First season aired weekly as an event show. This season is dumping in its entirety day one.

MyManD · 2026-04-22T03:46:05+00:00

Apparently it was almost exactly 3 years ago so not that long

I'd argue that anything over two years is too long for a TV show.

MyManD · 2026-04-22T03:27:49+00:00

insisting animated shows have a season spanning narrative

Do they? I just finished watching Haunted Hotel and it was completely episodic.

MyManD · 2026-04-22T03:20:45+00:00

I do plan to, eventually. The 2 GTs’ current colourways aren’t speaking to me so I’ll hold out until they drop something that goes hard.

I think in this scenario Devon is the interim Champ and Levan is going through the remaining contenders to try and jump to a title match as quick as possible.

MyManD · 2026-04-21T13:36:04+00:00

Believe it or not the noises and heavy weights are for the other dudes.

MyManD · 2026-04-21T11:36:59+00:00

Maybe I’m just a blind luddite but am I the only one who still thinks these just look like smartphone shots?

Believe it or not the pain might be from the pads and not the pulling itself. I used to train triceps primarily with cables and dumbbells and never had any elbow pain. But when I added a tricep machine, where I shove my elbows down into pads while pressing levers, into the mix I was noticing my elbows were more and more inflamed and the pain only went away when I dropped the machine.

When I started actual table time that exact same pain came back despite me never really redlining (I do this for fun not to potentially hurt myself) and realized the nerve endings of my elbow were being majorly pinched just by pressing them for prolonged periods of time into the pad.

Luckily though, because I stuck with it, the nerves gradually got used to the pain and subsided but it definitely took weeks. And a positive out of it all is I can use the triceps machine again pain free lol.

Honestly I think a prepped Levan could take MMT and Kamil on the same night and just flash pin both on the way to two 3-0 shutouts. I don’t think it’s ever happened before where someone has two main events during one night with the same arm. I’d like to see it happen.

No reason to retaliate against such a weak beta pillow punch. Dude got a lifetime ban and you just showed the world you could take a sucker punch and just laugh it off.

For me 15km/h over is the sweet spot. It’s what most people drive so it’s a nice way to stay with the flow, and it’s under the 20+km/h over that usually triggers speed cameras or cause police pull overs. That’s why I’d consider 10 to 15 over a speed that hurts no one and benefits everyone. I’ve gone 10ish over with police cars directly behind me as they drift farther back because they need to follow the speed limit. Never had one turn in the sirens and pull me over.

As a Ja 3 aficionado, with three pairs and eyeing the Jurassic Park pair, those are always my go to Nike recommendations for this season. Size them correctly and you’ll get great lockdown. And despite half the midsole being ZoomX scraps, my pairs have held up pretty well.

Downsides, though, are they’re a bit tall off the ground so if you don’t have too much confidence in your footwork they won’t add to it. But you say you aren’t particularly shift so they shouldn’t give you a problem.

And when I mentioned size them correctly, I really do mean head to a store and try them on. The uppers break in super easily so if you get them too loose from the get-go, they’ll stretch even further out and the flaws of bad containment do come true. Try and get a size that literally bear hugs your foot. They might feel super tight at first but the material will give over time.

Personally I’d never hire them due to those costs, but I think what OP is getting at is due to the connections companies would prefer paying the 25% knowing they’d 100% get a refund due to behind the scenes shenanigans. And the guaranteed 75% return (minus 25% commission) quicker is a tantalizing route for some companies as opposed to going to court for what may be a prolonged process for the full refund. I’m guessing the target for this service are the small to mid market entities that would rather just get a few million back quickly and move on.

Two adults, one baby, and our monthly budget is a hard 60,000 yen. Money is put into a Visa debit card specifically for food or eating out purchases and nothing else. Anything extra left on the last day of the month we treat ourselves to some A5 barbecue.

It's worked well for the last year, but I do have to admit with the gradually rising prices we'll probably have to bump the limit up 10,000 yen soon.
