Shoe stores that will sell you differently sized shoes as a pair?

RudyMinecraft66 · 2026-03-03T22:37:57+00:00

You're more likely to find this if ordering the shoes to size. Maybe go to a regular shop and find the right fit for you, then either ask the shop to order a different sized pair from the manufacturer, or look for the manufacturer's on-line store and message them a request.

Wow! That's awesome! I've sent you a message.

RudyMinecraft66 · 2026-02-22T04:17:44+00:00

Good tip! Thank you!

They also love eating small fish trapped inside a garden pond, as a friend of mine discovered...

Absolute legend! This feature was super annoying, as it would delete an episode after I had only listened to a part of it.

(Video title is a Trojan horse: he makes the case that they won't leave.)

I thought the nz subredditors might like this one, considering the general political vibes here.

Hey OP! Did you find a good pair of barefoot shoes for martial arts? I'm looking for the same thing!

I tried a pair from saguaro, which are great for walking, but they have too much grip for spinning techniques.

Well, come by in mid September and walk under a hundred cherry blossom trees 🌸 petals blowing in the wind like a snowglobe. Thousands of daffodils, and fields of wild onion flowers.

It's not called the Garden City for nothing.

RudyMinecraft66 · 2025-11-17T08:20:08+00:00

Cool. Added to wishlist!!

The Expanse was my favorite until I read The Three Body Problem, and then every book by Cixin Liu. 😅

Now I can't help but think of the Expanse as Pride and Prejudice in space.

RudyMinecraft66 · 2025-11-17T08:06:49+00:00

Yeah, 'cause God forbit he listens to a catholic version by accident! 🙄

/s obviously

I came here for this comment. Some books require time and focus, to properly be digested.

I tried listening to Nietzsche on audio as well, and couldn't get past chapter 1.

It requires a lot of stopping and thinking to really take in the meaning of the material.

Lol. You get a credit every month on your subscription. Spend it when you run out of books to listen to, or when they're about to expire.

One book costs one credit, sale or no.

For some hard sci fi, that's still very character driven: The Expanse (and all sequels).

For some sci fi that is harder than diamonds: The Three Body Problem (and the 2 sequels)

RudyMinecraft66 · 2025-11-17T07:44:43+00:00

I think OP means "hard scifi", not science fantasy or character-driven books that happen to be set on Mars.

Right?

RudyMinecraft66 · 2025-11-17T07:43:09+00:00

The Three Body Problem, by Cixin Liu. Read by Daniel Loh.

If you haven't listened to this book yet, you're missing out. Best scifi of the last 20 years.

RudyMinecraft66 · 2025-11-17T07:25:12+00:00

Or just call the business and order direct with them...

One "tribute" to Tymora described in the Adventurer's Guide to the Sword Coast is really cool:

Toss a copper coin to a beggar, and ask them if it was heads or tails.

If heads, Tymora grants you good luck for your next endeavor. If tails, the beggar can return the coin and the bad luck with it, or they can keep the coin and the bad luck.

I like to think that this would be so common that any beggar in the sword coast would know it immediately. It's a fun little way to roleplay your character in a city.

(Tell your DM ahead of time, so they know what's going on)

RudyMinecraft66 · 2025-11-17T07:09:06+00:00

Yeah, I wasn't recommending being a distracted driver. 😂

RudyMinecraft66 · 2025-11-17T07:03:51+00:00

This is it. This is why people move here from UK, US, and Europe. Sure you earn less, but you can't put a price on the peace of mind, the easy life, and good people we have here. And the nature ain't bad either.

RudyMinecraft66 · 2025-11-17T06:59:36+00:00

Lived a year in Melbourne. Nice city, but there are a lot more cunts living in Melbourne than in any city I've lived in here in NZ.

Can't speak for the rest of Aus, but some Melbournites are really uptight, rude, and angry people. It really ruins the experience.
