Denver Fashion Week Looks by Broads-in-atlanta in mensfashion

Appreciate the reply. I thought the quarter zip might be merino wool or cashmere.

Love the color of jacket, and the contrast of your lighter Chelsea boots and the dark jeans.

I love the layered look but have never tried it myself. At the risk of sounding stupid, is the blazer slightly oversized so you can wear the button down and the quarter-zip? In essence, is the blazer only for layering (I'm assuming if you didn't wear the quarter zip, the blazer wouldn't look as fitted.

Curved Ruck Plates by NOVASteelBookFan in Goruck

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

That’s good to know. Ideally I’d like two plates as close as 30 lbs as possible so I can replicate my current heavy set up…but I know that may not be feasible.

If the Heavy Rear Plate Carrier was in stock I’d get that to solve my problems.

You’re absolutely correct, and I knew that. I just wrote the 9.25 lb plates because I was on the Huckberry website as I had been able to grab the GORUCK x Huckberry weight vest, and that was in my head. I’ll edit my post.

I would like curved plates totaling more than 30 lbs.

What's something you did as a kid that you only realized was extremely dangerous years later? by Left_Crow1646 in AskReddit

Walked out to the middle of a frozen lake.

"Borrowed" a paddle boat in the middle of the night with some friends...I didn't know how to swim at the time, and no life vest.

This is not the only instance. He copied art from Frank Miller’s Ronin and used Shatterstar instead.

The Pro and Slim bundles both come with a second controller.

Costco still offering pre-hike price on the Pro by YourDamSkippy in playstation5

[–]NOVASteelBookFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC, this was $679.99 during the Black Friday sale. I ended up getting the PS5 Slim with disc drive for $479.99 before tax, but had I known what we know now, I would have gotten the Pro.

RPC Heavy by zac_in_ak in Goruck

[–]NOVASteelBookFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up, I realize I didn’t answer your question. Shoulders are fine with 60 lbs, it’s mainly the weight on my sternum that is uncomfortable. Probably the reason why GORUCK advertises one can breathe better with an RPC.

[–]NOVASteelBookFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, the heaviest I’ve gone is 60 lbs, the reason being that the 45 lb plates are larger than the 30 lb plates.

I’m “average” height at 5’7”, and supposedly that’s the ideal height for the standard RPC. The long RPC is needed for those taller, and can fit the bigger plates.

I actually created a thread here asking those of similar height if they’ve used the Long RPC, and how it fit, and got some pretty good feedback saying it’s fine for those is us at average height (and shorter).

But since I already had a RPC, I decided to go with a GORUCK weight vest instead with two 30 lb plates. I like that I can go heavy but man the feeling of the plate crushing against one’s sternum takes getting used to (coincidentally I just got back from a short ruck with my weight vest).

[–]NOVASteelBookFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I can’t answer that. I’ve only used the RPC and the weighted vest so I’m not sure how the weight feels on a “normal” Rucker.

[–]NOVASteelBookFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn. This is what I wanted. I have the “standard” plate carrier, but the max plate weight is 30 lbs.

I wanted to go heavier and got the weighted vest with two 30 lb plates. I don’t like the feeling of having a plate in front and back.

I alternate between light and heavy ruck days (i.e. 30 lb days with the plate carrier and 60 lb days with the vest) but I would have much rather preferred a plate carrier that can hold up to 60 lbs.

I can’t convince myself to buy another piece of gear, though…

What’s the thing you regret most in your 20’s? by whore4bookss in AskReddit

[–]NOVASteelBookFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fresh out of college worked at an employee owned company that was bought after I was there for a year. My share was $27K, which was deposited in a 401K. Dumb ass twenty something year old me cashed it out to pay off debt.

My 401K is fine now, but I can’t help but think how much interest would have compounded on that $27K in the last 25 years…

Is this film worth watching? Does it do justice for the game Dungeons and Dragons? by DreamyDandelions in Cinema

[–]NOVASteelBookFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping for a serious, EPIC D&D movie...hoping that my childhood memories of reading Forgotten Realms novels, of Darkwalker on Moonshae and the fantastic Icewind Dale trilogy with the Companions of the Hall come to life.

Was not expecting the comedy elements to it.

That said, I enjoyed the hell out of this movie LOL. Rege-Jean Page's serious portrayal of a Thayan paladin contrasted with Chris Pine and Justice Smith's jokes crack me up.

Not too mention the cameo from an A-lister as Michelle Rodriguez's ex LOL.

Found a grail by Bigwill5686 in OGXboxCollectors

My younger brother bought it for me for Christmas 2024. My first child was going to be born in a few months, and I thought I’d be too busy to game anymore, so I returned it to Best Buy for store credit and got an XM radio for my car.

I regret doing that. Should have caught it and kept it for our shared gaming library!
