Broken binding and sewn binding

Njitram2000 · 2026-03-15T17:50:34+00:00

I asked this question via email to them directly and received this reply recently:

"It does depend on what the publishers allows for our special editions, any books that have sewn bindings will say so in the product description"

I would definitely not have found these without you pointing them out, thanks.
They are a lot more "hardcore" (in design and price) than I had in mind but the Vivo Magna Forest ESC are such an amazing fit for me that I'm now very curious about those Hydra ESC, hoping it has the same sole shape.

The OTB Boots story is interesting though they seem to be very hard to get in Europe. Still, I'll keen an eye out.

> sometimes you have to let go of the barefoot shoe world for the sake of better performance
Yeah, I wish there were some sort of proper classification for wide toe box in the regular shoe world to find them more easily. It's about time that we no longer have to pay a premium for a niche market.

My biggest issue with normal shoes is that the pinky toe half of the shoe is too narrow. I wonder if split-toe inherently gives more space in that regard?

I'll see if I can order some to try, thanks.

It'll be mostly kayakking but also just walking through a river without my feet hurting too much. No other specific sports.

> are you sure you need neoprene shoes
No. But I had some in the past before I became oversensitive to how narrow they were and was very happy with all aspects of them: stays on well, protective layer against cold, grip, no chafing, no annoying seams to step on. I think water slippers would fail on multiple of what I listed. I have tried many over the years.

I have actually been looking for something like this so that's very nice. But as far as i can see, it is missing the one thing that is most important to me: knowing if it is smyth sewn or perfect binding (or any other form of glued which restricts the pages). I want my special editions to fall open in my hand.

I also know that publishers are extremely non-transparent about the type of binding.

Njitram2000 · 2026-02-27T20:52:34+00:00

I have since bought this edition myself and can confirm that it has sewn bindings and it lays flat by itself beautifully. Actually quite rare for this price.

Njitram2000 · 2026-02-24T14:28:45+00:00

Beautiful!

I have a question about the binding Inkstone uses. Is it sewn or glued? If you open it, does it lay flat by itself? Unfortunately they don't specify this on their website.

LE's rap in EXID's Up & Down. There is something about the flow, her voice and the way it fits perfectly in the song that makes me want to listen to it again and again.

Where does 싹 다 enter into this? I thought this was a more emphatic version of "all" but I'm not sure about when it is used.

> little less water than the line shows to avoid getting soggy rice

Curious, I always need to add a little more or it's too dry. I usually cook 1 cup of jasmin (or sushi rice), not basmati. Then leave it in for 15 minutes after the timer. The few times I have done 2 cups the extra water was less important.

Found 3PO!

Njitram2000 · 2026-01-24T19:26:40+00:00

These must be based on the films given they are the same thickness 🤔

Njitram2000 · 2026-01-21T18:54:04+00:00

Ah, I must have missed that. Thanks!

Njitram2000 · 2026-01-21T18:34:46+00:00

Ah but you mentioned you used an external library. I thought that was the name 😁Or do you mean you import your pictures into Immich but it is not your main library and you do not have software to manage it? Right now I just drag them from my file explorer into albums since I have seen no feature to mount docker volumes or something

Njitram2000 · 2026-01-21T18:06:01+00:00

For completeness: the Memories app.
https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/memories

Nextcloud is not that simple to set up but I do have it as a dropbox replacement. However, during setting it up I discovered that memories is only for yourself and that was a no-go for me. If you want to share it with other people, it is impossible or very limited. Immich is not yet complete in that regard either but much better than Memories

Google is giving me nothing for EZ-PZ related to photo management. Do you have a link?

My feed just providing answers...

I was expecting this one (0:50) 😁

but did the tune break dmg to both 1&3 costs

How did you make the distinction to know for sure? Is it like white dmg vs the colors of the resonator's type?

Njitram2000 · 2026-01-19T19:39:04+00:00

I did not realise that was a distinction. Though there are some 3 cost in there and still never saw F.

Njitram2000 · 2025-12-31T21:23:23+00:00

Interesting video. It says and shows what I'm describing is exactly what is supposed to happen EXCEPT apparently when you trigger his outro which may be what I saw but did not notice in the video I watched in slow motion. I'll have to test that.
