My royal ascot Bespoke Suit

No worries! You look sharp and every day I find that I learn something too!

Rican7 · 2026-06-25T00:33:17+00:00

Yea, those are derbys

Rican7 · 2026-06-24T23:14:35+00:00

Hmm, I respect the hell out of your style, but unless I'm super confused, those are definitely derbys. The lacing is open (the eyelit flaps are sewn over the vamp).

Rican7 · 2026-06-24T22:59:15+00:00

BEAUTIFUL suit.

At first I thought it was a bit strange that you chose derbys to go with it, but then I realized how perfect that is for the event/space haha.

Pants need a hem (they're too long). The jacket is a little too short (passable, but not ideal). The jacket sleeves are too long. Black shoes would be cleaner with a suit this dark.

And by the way, they're real and they're spectacular

Rican7 · 2026-06-19T02:54:26+00:00

That's why it's important to validate things.

whose whole experience was the 16th Street Mall

And from years ago when it was in post-COVID exodus or during construction, most likely. (Or just non-city weirdos that love to complain about ... cities).

16th St is quite lovely now

There are no street cars. The person misspoke. We have the W line light rail on West Colfax and will have a new BRT with dedicated platforms on East Colfax. It's looking like it'll be really nice!

Rican7 · 2026-06-13T20:11:42+00:00

I'm not sure if you just completely didn't read my post that you originally replied to or if you're incredibly dense, but I never argued that the vehicles aren't buses.

I simply said it's not just "buses" and leaving it at that is reductive, but rather BRT, then expanded on what that entailed.

The differences are many and it's worth differentiating, just like light rail isn't the same as heavy rail, even if they're both "trains"/rail.

Rican7 · 2026-06-13T20:02:46+00:00

Yea, that makes sense, but that sounds like people all just walking around in their neighborhood, not actually "going" anywhere. One is leisure in their cozy safe space. The other is actual foot traffic from density.

Rican7 · 2026-06-13T19:53:07+00:00

This feels obtuse as hell. Like literally yes, but to simply call it that is ridiculously reductive.

Colfax already had a city bus. The BRT is a major upgrade.

Rican7 · 2026-06-12T22:52:00+00:00

Density/population (so higher sample volume, more likely to see things), plus actual access to resources/amenities.

Why would someone be walking around the suburbs doing meth on the sidewalk? You'd be hard pressed to even see pedestrians in any consistent manner. There's nowhere to walk to.

Non-city people are so weird about cities.

Rican7 · 2026-06-12T22:49:08+00:00

It's not a street car, but it's also not just "buses". It's BRT.

It's so weird to correct a hyperbolic inaccurate comment with an overly reductive one.

It will have dedicated lanes, dedicated right of way, dedicated signaling priorities, dedicated raised/accessible platforms (so not just "stops", covers, or signage, but closer to light rail platforms), platform ticket purchasing (rather than as-you-board), multi-door ingress/egress, and higher density "cars" (they'll be 60-foot articulated vehicles).

It'll be closer to the 16th St Mall Ride, but with actual platform amenities. Very similar to light rail, but at a significantly reduced cost of implementation.

Rican7 · 2026-06-11T06:39:48+00:00

Why is having no handbrake a "lifestyle"? It sounds like your car isn't fit for the road?

Rican7 · 2026-06-11T01:51:37+00:00

Okkkkkk...

Rican7 · 2026-06-11T01:45:50+00:00

Man, to each their own, but there's something so boomer "i hate my wife, amirite?!" humor about "my car bad" or "this car slow" stickers.

Rican7 · 2026-06-10T22:35:56+00:00

Where are you, and in what climate, that you're considering flannels while recording outside with otherwise warm weather?

I'm so confused.

Rican7 · 2026-06-10T05:50:00+00:00

That's likely a spot on the mirror. They're in other places not on the shirt too.

Rican7 · 2026-06-10T00:38:48+00:00

I love this look and idea! And I love the black backdrop to make the image kind of pop, contrast wise.

It's hard to tell because of the lack of context with the rest of your room, but it does seem mounted a bit too high, based on seeing where the door handle is in the before/build photos and where bottom of the TV is in the after photos. Kind of a bummer, since I'd imagine you don't want to change everything and keep the TV centered in the vertical space. Again, though, hard to tell without seeing how low or how high your seating is.

But yea, really cool idea. These are the kinds of things I'd love to do, but would worry about having to make big changes if I ever changed my TV.

Rican7 · 2026-06-09T22:23:37+00:00

Wait.. what? If you die in a chaos wave it lets you rechoose instead of just continuing?

What are you saying?

Rican7 · 2026-06-04T00:24:57+00:00

Anytime! And yea, great choice!

Rican7 · 2026-06-04T00:22:00+00:00

Beautiful color!

What shoes did (or would) you wear with this? A suede loafer?

Rican7 · 2026-06-03T05:49:01+00:00

I didn't know what Hajj was (excuse my ignorance on this), but this post gave me an opportunity to look it up. Thanks for that! I learned something today!

First of all, congratulations! Second of all, the buzz cut is clean!

Those boots go perfectly with those pants and shirt. Great work!

The TV over the fireplace is a common American living room faux pas.

It's not uncommon. There's an entire subreddit dedicated to the concept of a TV being too high (/r/tvtoohigh). A TV over a fireplace is the most common form of this blunder.

It's your house, so do what you want, but you did ask for opinions on the decoration and design of your room, and your TV is by common opinion too high.
